#oh yeah also Blair is dead

[lonepantheress]

♡ txt binge-watching shows w/ their s/o

pairing: ot5!txt x reader

genre: LOL CRACK? fluff i guess

warnings: unserious-ness

a/n: my first try at headcanons......

Yeonjun

like Gossip Girl or PLL or something.

he seems like the kind of person to be really pissed at moments with shitty writing and you’d have to remind him that he eats it up every time.

omg, and he’d start arguments with you about hypotheticals HE MADE based on the show.

like, “y/n, what if me and you met again after 15 years and had kids but we were both single and eligible and hot. what would you do?” “yeonjun, i have no idea. it depends.” “oh, okay. you hate me then?”

he’d be so flip-floppy too. just agreeing with you to agree with you.

“omg.. she’s such a bitch. I hate her.” “I actually really like her character.” “no, yeah, me too. she’s so cool, i love her.”

then when you guys are having real-life drama, he’d get all frustrated about whatever's going on and be like, “this is just like when serena and blair had to fight with georgina.” and you’re like “yes, exactly!”

he’s sweet though, he’d side with whoever YOU’RE siding with just so you guys could have a bonding moment LOL. your faves are his faves (as far as you know..)

Soobin

ok so it is established that he is a weeb

I feel like he would turn on those animes that are like 700 eps and mostly filler and be like, “this is one of my faves!”

and then you can’t complain because he just said it’s one of his faves…

he would try to meet in the middle though and find some that you might also be into

keyword: try

he’d pull out the most obscure show on the most sketchy website with the most incorrect subtitles and be like, “no, y/n, i swear it’s super good.”

and then you give it a chance, and you ask him to explain it.

and he explains it pretty well, but when you ask again he’s getting all emotional about SOMETHING that’s going on and you’re like “???? why…”

you guys will find your fave though and it’s so sweet bc it’s something you guys really look forward to.

you won’t look at spoilers or watch ahead or anything like that. HE TAKES IT LIKE SUPER SERIOUSLY.

and then you guys will get all emotion together and it’s super cute. 

Beomgyu

RuPaul's Drag Race

or like Love Island or the Bachelor or something.

would get super invested in the drama and take sides and everything.

I feel like if you liked someone he didn’t, he would take it personally and be like “BUT WHY???”

he’d fancy himself a prediction god and try to make bets on who will win and who will end up with who.

his real talent is consistently being wrong.

like “WATCH - this time i’m right!”

and then they’re out by, like, the third episode.

or when someone has a really funny or flirty conversation, he’d point to the screen and be like, “Us,” “Omg, that’s so us…” “Why is this lowkey us?”

he’d be DEVASTATED when his faves do not succeed. 

it was clear they’d lose their challenge or whatever but he’s like “WTF????”

but would laugh in your FACE if your faves got eliminated

Taehyun

a show that really takes dedication to watch.

like Game of Thrones or The Walking Dead or Breaking Bad, or something

he would lowkey be pissed off if you watched an episode or two without him, or read spoilers online. 

but then he would accidentally spoil stuff for you and watch episodes without you so…

I could sort of see this going two different ways

he’s like super invested in it and is dead silent throughout the episode, barely looking away from the screen

or he’s watching and he’s like, “oh, she’s for sure gonna die.” and you’re like, “what? no!” and then she dies five mins later.

then he treats the end of the episode like a podcast and talks to you for like an hour about why the characters did what they did, and what you guys think is gonna happen next. 

kind of sweet cuz he would act uninterested at first and then become the most invested.

Kai

those cooking shows, but the ones where they’re really nice to each other.

like the Great British Baking Show, that show is so low pressure….

the contestants would be casually describing some incredibly complex dessert they’re making and he would go, “babe, we could definitely do that.”

no, you definitely could not!

you guys would confidently suck at making predictions, but you suck together! how cute!

“omg those are the cutest cakes ever! She has to come on top this episode!” “no, for sure. she’s been so consistently good!”

and then judging time comes and the cakes are bland, falling apart, undercooked, and burned at the same time. 

and you two are like, “oh…”

he would also suddenly turn into a baking expert, like when someone is doing their thing he would yell at the screen.

“oh my god. too much salt! NOOOO, TOO MUCH SALT!” and you need to tell him to calm tf down.

No, do not give Por water.

Those are bloody bags on the counter, man, why does White keep stumbling onto these things?

Fluke, wtf are you doing!?

Okay, it’s a little vomit boys, stop screaming like idiots.

Again, I say, Fluke, do not become a doctor, especially one in an ER.

Would Fluke stop being so damn mean to White!? God dammit! Also why’d you have to walk up to him like that!? Jesus.

Use an oven to dry the clay?

Okay, so possession it is. Green vomit, how very Linda Blair of them.

Now that’s a puncture wound! Finally someone died!

The safety is on? Just a guess why the gun didn’t work? Is no one gonna check it before threatening to use it.

Nah, that bitch is dead. Don’t bother shaking him, CPR ain’t gonna do shit, child.

That’s some good acting on Bump and Fuaiz’s part, Us had a good death scene too. Quiet and sad, not over the top, it was decent.

Could someone hug White and Fluke? Like damn!

Again, I say, Jin dislocated his shoulder, what’s wrong with his legs?

And why do I feel like they slapped Jin and Phee in a different location from the rest of the group because they’re the one acting duo that’ll do vague nudity during a sex scene and BoC needs to sell the BL angle so those two characters are gonna have stress sex at some point and having it at the house with the other characters wouldn’t work.

Yeah, so I take back wanting to hug Fluke, that little shit is worried about his uni grades!? For real!?… Listen, I just have a lot of conflicting feelings about Fluke lol, he’s actually one of the more interesting characters. I wanna slap him a lot of the time, but he is interesting.

Fluke turning on Tee and I’m assuming Top, since those two were the most adamant about not watching the video. I like it, cliched but for a good reason, it works to move the plot forward. Also, why am I getting a vibe that Tan is somehow related to Non? I dunno, just a feeling.

At least Tee stepped in front of White, there’s that redeemable moment for him I guess.

Oh evil Top is back. Great, now please shoot him!

Thank you! Watch Fluke have missed or like hit Tan or something because he closed his eyes lmao.

Next week we get Baby Barcode! Finally! Also, what was so funny about a found footage movie? Tee and Top are just assholes, and it looks like Jin might have played a little bit with Non’s feelings. Hmm, tit for freaking tat much? Isn’t that what he’s whining about Phee doing to him 🤔🤔

[grandwretch]

ok let me talk about the steddie sentinel au I wanna write bc like. its all I can fucking think about yk

alright so. I want it to be closer to show canon bc the shows origins have really been like. lost in the fanfic trope of it all which is cool and all but i think that making it show canon could be so delicious.

and like its set a decade before the show right so it would be like. blair's research into sentinels and guides would have never been published, so it's a great way to have something weird and terrifying happen to steve and NO ONE ELSE IN PUBLISHED HISTORY has been through it before so its really up to the Party to figure it out.

so I'm thinking that Steve comes "online" while in the Upside Down. because that's the most stress he's ever been in AND I think its what his instincts would see most as a survival/tribal situation like. he has three people he has to protect and he's literally in a blighted hell dimension and also if he doesn't take care of everyone, Max will die and, oh yeah, he has no proof that Jonathan, El, Will, and Mike aren't already dead.

He chalks the random oversensitivity to stress and wounds. Its not until he's in his hospital room that he realizes he can hear Eddie's heartbeat from across the hall. He yanks the IV out of his arm and goes to find Dustin.

After that, I think there's like a huge squabble about Steve's "powers" and whether or not they're real and what they mean. Steve doesn't think of them as powers, he doesn't think they compare to El at all and they're functionally useless. "I can't SMELL a demogorgon to death, Dustin." Robin freaks out and wonders if Steve is a vessel like Will now, but they all dismiss it because Will got weaker, not faster and stronger. Eddie practically climbs inside Steve's mouth looking for fangs.

El quietly asks if Steve is from a lab, too. Steve says his dad is pretty awful, but he's not an evil mad scientist sponsored by the government or whatever.

So they undergo a series of stress tests, trying to find the outer limits of what Steve can do. Hopper gets surprisingly into the whole thing, sending Steve through drills and training that he picked up in the military. Steve's Sentinel powers come to him much more smoothly than Jim, simply because he has a much more structured regimen, and less near death experiences while he gets used to his new senses.

Steve fucking hates it. He hates feeling like a science experiment, and he hates running stupid obstacle courses and letting El throw things at him to test his reaction time. He hates how his entire stupid life has become about this... thing that's happened to him, thats not even that useful, because its not like he's stronger. He's just a better fighter for a human, which isn't going to do much against Vecna.

Even worse, he had to quit his job, because turning all his senses up to 11 has made retail impossible. The blend of perfumes and body odor gives him headaches, he can't stand being able to hear every fucking conversation in the store, and the fluorescent lights hurt his eyes.

Throughout it all, the Munson's trailer is kind of a refuge. After Eddie finally accepted that Steve wasn't some kind of sexy vampire here to seduce their souls away, he dismissed whatever was happening to Steve as boring. So Steve feels like a fucking human again with Eddie, and-- Okay, Eddie is loud and grating and always smells like weed, but those things were already annoying before Steve was like this. He's used to tuning it out, so its almost comforting to be surrounded by them.

Besides, everything the Munsons own is well worn and soft, not like the textures of his own home, more pleasing to the eye than the skin. And if Steve asks very nicely, Eddie will play his acoustic; sweet, soft melodies that don't hurt Steve's ears like the radio does.

(Unbeknownst to Steve, Eddie learns all his favorite songs in a flurry of tapes. He replaces all the soap and detergent in the house with the fancy kind meant for people with allergies. He spends so much money Steve-proofing his place, but he never complains once. He never wants Steve to leave again.)

But the Munson trailer can't stop the worst of it, which is Steve's unbearable need to protect. He already had a superhero complex, but now its even worse. If he goes too long without doing something active, there's an itch under his skin that he can't shake. So he has to venture out again, back to Hoppers' canon for more stupid tests, or patrolling around the town until even his improved stamina falters.

Thats how he zones, the first time. He's roaming through the streets when he hears Dustin and Lucas up in Dustin's room, laughing at some movie. He focuses on the sound of their laughter for a little too long, and suddenly thats all he can hear. Thats all he can feel at all, actually, just their voices. It consumes him.

They find him like that when Lucas goes to leave, hours later. Standing in the Henderson's yard, bat in hand, unmoving. They call everyone, but Eddie gets there first, driving like the devil is after him. He freaks out, understandably, but Dustin calms him with the facts that Steve's eyes haven't rolled, and he's been gone for who knows how long without floating, so its probably not Vecna.

Eddie doesn't feel better.

They try every song on every tape Steve owns. He flinches at a few louder ones, but nothing works. Eventually, Hopper and Jonathan manage to get Steve into a car, his body unresponsive in their hands.

Robin wants to take him to the hospital, but Nancy tells her, softly, that it might alert the wrong people to Steve's condition. What wouldn't the American military do for a body with improved reflexes and speed, who can see and avoid a speeding bullet, and hear the heartbeats of his enemies? They take him to the trailer, because Eddie insists that he and Wayne will be able to take care of Steve. They know what he likes, what triggers him, better than people who do it on purpose.

The worry makes Eddie maybe a little meaner than he means to be.

When they get him home, Eddie wraps Steve up in all his favorite blankets, ones that smell like them both and Wayne's favorite cigarettes. He kisses Steve's forehead and sits next to him on the bed, playing his acoustic and singing all Steve's favorite songs. He knows they didn't work before, but he doesn't know what else to do, and if he just has to watch Steve lay there, he'll cry.

Its the first time, and he's been stuck so long it takes him forever to find his way out, but eventually Steve surfaces. His eyes blink into focus and he swallows around a dry throat.

Steve looks at Eddie, the man who Guided him out of the deep, dark well of his own mind.

"What'd I miss?"

#shut up az #steddie #I cant explain this #except that my laptop is broken and my mom is sending me her old one but in the meantime handwriting obts is like so awkward #bc who has handwritten smut in 2023 #so my creative vibes are overflowing and thats how we get shit like this #like a neat 500 words of sheer insanity #idk

Wanna know something twisted?

In the modern Scroogeverse (@rom-e-o and also Sims-- always assume modern is also Sims unless otherwise stated) one of the classic punishments Bea would give Bess for anything and nothing was making Bess watch horror movies. Alone. In the dark. All the way through. When Bess accidentally tore a hole in her new shirt as a four-year-old, Bea sat Bess in front of 'Chucky' and made her watch. If Bess tried to run away from it, Bea hauled her back in and started the movie completely over. This would keep happening until Bess finally learned she had to sit there the entire time and watch before the punishment was over. Poor baby couldn't sleep for weeks and had nightmares for... well, she still has nightmares sometimes even in the present day.

The day Bess met George was the same thing: As punishment for running off and getting filthy, Bea made her watch 'Alien'. Bess was six years old, mind you.

Bess was also punished with movies such as 'The Exorcist', 'The Blair Witch Project', 'The Shining', 'Silence of the Lambs', 'Hannibal', 'Texas Chainsaw Massacre', 'Night of the Living Dead' and 'Dawn of the Dead', 'It', and many others--most when she was MUCH too young to have ever been allowed to see them and others when it didn't matter that she was old enough, as she was completely traumatized by horror movie now. Thankfully this punishment stopped being quite as frequent when Bea married George, as he put his foot down when he both discovered the punishment and Bess completely disproportionate fear to all horror related things. But it still continued, because George worked a lot and long hours, sometimes travelling and staying away for weeks.

All that is to say, modern!Bess hates horror movies. She also can't watch anything paranormal related. It's not just that she gets scared--she has a complete panic attack. The only horror movies she can handle and even doesn't mind watching are 'Jaws' because it's just a little more based in natural reality (although she clings to hubby and hides her face in his chest during the opening scene and Quint's speech) and the 'Nightmare on Elm Street' series because she finds that whole idea fascinatingly creative (she still has to watch it with someone else in the room though).

Surprisingly, though, Bess is not spoiled on Halloween and actually really looks forward to it. Maybe because George was always around then and made it super fun. Maybe because however good the scary stuff is done in a haunted attraction, it just doesn't quite have the same ambiance as a horror movie. Bess would still rather have the cuter Halloween vibe as opposed to the scarier one, though. And like hell she's going through a haunted house alone.

Oh, yeah. And there is absolutely a nightlight in Ebenezer and Bess' bedroom, since Bess has an almost crippling fear of the dark because of the horror movies too. It's on a timer though and motion activated so it's not on all night. Slowly Bess is weaning off of it. The weaning was her idea, not Eb's, as he's fine with doing whatever it takes to make Bess feel comfortable and safe. He was the one that bought the nightlight, actually, without Bess even having to ask. He was never patronizing or belittling or even teasing about it either. The light is moon themed, of course.💕🌕

Where I'm At

This is sort of a brain dump as well as a check in with where I'm at for these various stories. If I forget one, well, that's a statement in itself but I'll add it if it's brought up.

Oh Sweet Child of Mine: One Piece: I still have the platonic Ace, platonic whitebeard, and NSFW Ace ending to do but not going to lie, my motivation for it is quite dead. I'm definitely not adding anymore alt ending besides these though, so consider the story finished as it is. Last Updated: 1/21/24

How our Seeds Grow: One Piece: I'm currently still working on the next chapter, about 3~ pages into what I'm hoping to be at least 10? Unsure. But I'm definitely not doing alt endings for this one. Once the main plot is done, it's done. Last Updated: 9/10/23

A Lone Melody: One Piece: I still have some fondness for this story, I won't lie. But my motivation to write it really isn't there. Was barely there to start with. Honestly, I only really started writing it because it seemed like there was a lot of interest but perhaps it should have just stayed an ask-box fic? Certainly got more fun interaction that way. And it was pretty clear that the reasons I was interested in the story was not the same as why others were interested. Last Updated: 8/13/23

Worst Isekai: One Piece: Due to the general state of my TBD list, this isn't even really started. I have no idea what kind of plot I'll do other than vague vibes but I really do need to put more down to actually write the story. I do like the general idea and would like to make a bullet list for plot but until I have any idea what I'm doing, this can be considered a proto-story. Still workshopped and all that. No chapters currently exist in any format.

(No working title): One Piece: currently just a self indulgent fic I've been tooling for myself shipping Nikia (OC/SI) with Thatch and now perhaps Izou. No current chapters exist online, though I've written some for it. Including smut.

Let's Get Crackin': Pokemon: A fun new idea born of my revitalized interest in the franchise. Still tooling things and have a handy document with vague plot details. I likely won't start writing anything until I at least have a set beginning/middle/end. A sort of trial run to see if this helps me actually complete a work since my fics usually die if I falter in the middle and lose interest due to frustration. No current chapters exist.

We're leaving the Tumblr fics at this point so if one slipped my mind, well... yeah.

A Friend of Charlotte: FNAF: Security Breach: I really like the general story and vibe I've made for Blaire and would like to write more, but my motivation currently just isn't there. I'd be really depressed if I finally gave up and dropped it though, as there's a lot more for her that's been left unwritten at this point. Last updated: 8/27/23

Python Scramble: FNAF: Security Breach: Also a considerable fondness, I've just once again run into the issue of bridging the start to the finish. It's where I usually tend to stall--hopefully with more careful plotting this won't keep happening but I guess we'll see. Last updated: 2/7/22

Dreamcatcher: Hollowknight: Ah, the baby of my very intense Hollowknight fixation. It's been far too long and I just... stopped writing it at some point. I still really want to finish Olivia's story though. Last Updated: 12/6/19

Seeing Fire and Lionhearts in the Night: Undertale/Underfell AU: Basically dead at this point. Really didn't plot this one out to start with, just had a brief, engaging idea. I don't like looking at it cause I just... don't know what to do with it at this point. Last Updated: 7/14/18

Monster I have Become: Undertale/Underswap AU: I could finish this in one chapter (likely a tad long) and be really sad about it because I really could have done better. It would be rushed and not very good, but it'd be done at least. And I don't know which is worse. I don't know. I just... I hate starting a fic and not even ending it. But ending it poorly feels even worse. Last Updated: 6/1/18

I'm not going to lie, this list is rather depressing for many reasons. I don't like having written this list, nor that I have fics unfinished after years despite starting them really strong with a lot of passion. I don't know what happened. For most of them my motivation just sort of... died.

And for the most part, I seemed to be the only one interested so once I lost interest what was the point? It didn't make me happy anymore to use my sparse free time indulging in my hobby like this. So why bother?

but I remember brainstorming these for hours. days. Week. Some even months or years in some form or another. And now I can't even look at them I feel so ashamed. Either it's been so long the quality of my work feels so stark--why bother now?--or I just... don't know how to continue. If it's even worth it to try.

I know there are people who may be genuinely excited to see these update. Happy to reread the story to have all the context again like it was just yesterday that it last posted. And I am so sorry if you're one of them. Because I am too.

It's just been hard lately... no. It's been hard for a really long time. And it hasn't really gotten better. So once the high of a new story wore off... I just ended up leaving. And the cycle begins anew.

I hope this list brings some closure to some of you.

Maybe it's not that serious.

Maybe no one cares. Not really.

But this is for those that still do.

Those that flooded my inbox with hyper, energetic, silly asks. Wrote long, trailing comments and disjointed tags. Got swept up in the moment and took me with you.

And the 'me' that couldn't imagine that a day would come when it's been months or years since I last touched a story I'd spend all day fawning over.

Thanks, I suppose.

And I am so very sorry it's been so long.

And that it may very well be longer still before you see more of these stories or any others from me.

[send-me-a-puffalope]

nat where can i watch dead of summer cuz you keep bringing it up and also i need to see elizabeth lail with her hair down IMMEDIATELY also erm. whats the plot. i could google all of this but im annoying so <3

um this cool and awesome legal site called. 123 movies. HDJAHDJAJDJ THE PLOT OH GOOD LORD EHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHE MY INTERESTS MWAHAHAHA OKAY SO

We follow a group of high school seniors going to a newly reopened summer camp from their childhood (to be camp counselors). The main friend group is Alex, Jess, Blotter, Cricket, and Blair, who have known each other their whole lives. And some new kids, Amy (who just moved into town) and Drew (who shows up late and is kind of mysterious). These two are my babies. Drew because he’s transmasc and Amy because she’s Elizabeth Lail. Anyways these teenagers are all their own flavor of super traumatized for no reason at all and like you’d assume from this camp ass show, people start dyingggg and ghost thingsssss oooooooo spooky.

Anyways, the show is genuinely kind of awful for all of maybe most of the show PFFT HAHAHSHDJ but BUT BUT BUT you get really invested regardless and episodes 8-10 pick up A LOT. AND IT GETS REALLY GOOD ACTUALLY. KINDA. WELL GOOD TO ME. ELIZABETH LAIL COVERED IN BLOOD BASICALLY. EHEHEHEHEH. idk how much you know about the show so i’m trying not to spoil too much just in case but YEAH. Amy Hughes is the wet cat of all time.

i did watch this whole show in like one day on 360p but it was on my phone so i literally did not notice

#ask!!! #jasminetea1234 #aj!!!

[cauldronoflove]

JJ! So I was tempted to just send 1-25, but I'll restrain myself and go with 3, 6 and 24 for the end of the year book ask

3. What were your top five books of the year?

i just sat down to make this list last week and i'm still not completely sold on it (or maybe it's just the placements?), i read a lot of books i really enjoyed this year so there's a lot to choose from but atm

- kate bornstein's gender outlaw (fundamentally changed me a day had not gone by i haven't thought abt something said in this book)

- annie proulx's close range (i love short stories but this comp did something to me and my view of short stories i cant even explain. have wept my way through brokeback mountain 3 times this year also)

- selma blair's mean baby (one of the best "celebrity memoirs" i've read in a long time and it hit me at a very personal level)

- manda scott's dreaming the bull (oh god. OH GOD. scott's boudica cycle has so been my shit this year but this one had me hooping and fucking hollering gritting my teeth feeling absolutely insane for all 700 some pgs)

- janet kagan's uhura's song (not only was this SUCH a fun reading experience but it also unfairly set my standards for trek novels to come, the writing and worldbuilding is absolutely insane!!!!)

6. Was there anything you meant to read, but never got to?

🤡 yeah.

i'm always working on my physical tbr so these are books i'll still be getting to at some point, but this year i had hoped to get to:

emily yellins' our mothers' war / joann levy's they saw the elephant / lillian faderman's odd girls & twilight lovers / lynn sherr's sally ride

24. Did you DNF anything? Why?

per my yearly spreadsheet i dnf'd 4 books this year:

anne mccaffrey's get off the unicorn (i thought a short story collection would be a great way to dip my toes into as prolific a writer and i did find that i liked mccaffrey's style but i didnt jive with the actual stories)

tippi hedren's tippi (i'm sorry ms hedren but the writing was excruciating)

agatha christie's nemesis (if i'm being honest i dont truly remember why, i think christie just got kinda weird with it)

kathy reichs' déjà dead (boooo!!!! i was really looking forward to this series but the first few chapters were absolutely mindnumbing, i skimmed the rest of the book and was just like. oh i cant do this)

#i have at least another 5 that couldve taken a spot in my top 5 this was such a good reading year #ty bec ily <33333 #personal

[spectralsleuth]

For commentaries 👀:

“Oh yeah? You left class real fast for someone who just wanted some fresh air. You even lost that girl that’s obsessed with you.”

"I WISH TO JOIN AS WELL!”

Sprinting at a dead run, book back bouncing off of her shoulders and dark hair streaming behind her, was a girl Raph vaguely recognized from fourth period. She was faintly out of breath, wearing an oversized black death metal band T-shirt of some kind, paneled black leggings that looked sweaty as all hell in this heat, and big chunky combat boots that looked like they got more wear and tear than they would if they were just for show.

"Yeah, she’s definitely mentioned you a few times- we take the same bus home.”

"...Rose just doesn’t like people she doesn’t think are going to take it seriously, and Sandy is a pretty well known flake.”

She stared at him a long time, and at a very pointed cough from Coach Garcia, she rolled her eyes and took his hand to shake. Her hand disappeared into his.

“Fine. But, my name is Cassandra. You can call me Casey.”

--Or honestly anything you want to say about Casey in this au,,I love her sm :D

[OH MAN I'm gonna tip toe around this one so I don't give away the story. Not because I don't want to spoil you guys (I don't) but because if I do I might not write it lol.]

“Oh yeah? You left class real fast for someone who just wanted some fresh air. You even lost that girl that’s obsessed with you.”

[I kind of portrayed Raph (or at least I hope I did) as that kid who EVERYBODY knows in a good way, who get like, "Hey Raph's!" all day when he goes down the hallway and answers them without thinking, teachers always dote on him even if he's not the best at school work, parents are pleasantly surprised at how polite he is-

And this man does not notice.

His brothers do of course, and think it's very funny, but Raph CANNOT read situations or people. So imagine Raph in class with Casey sat behind him, eyes burning into his soul through the back of his head, and he turns around and asks for a pencil. They've been seat neighbors all last school year and this year and Raph doesn't remember her name or face, but MIKEY sure does. He's got spies EVERYWHERE.]

[I think @tangledinink is starting to effect my fashion sense for characters bc he draws the turtles in such cute little outfits. ;-; Chunky boots... piercings...

Whenever I write- well, anything, I always make note of what everyone's wearing? I probably put too much thought into whether I'm going into too much detail of what someone's wearing, vs. adding relevant flavor. When it comes to Yoshi it's easy, because his outfits (when he was human) were super flamboyant and flashy so I imagine that carries into his old age, and it adds to the character. When it comes to everyone else, I try to make it a passing comment and hope I don't come across as 'My name is Ebony Dementia Darkness Way and I'm 15 years old-' levels of description writing.

ALSO coming up with outfits is haaaard someone come do it for me. ;-; ]

"Yeah, she’s definitely mentioned you a few times- we take the same bus home.”

"...Rose just doesn’t like people she doesn’t think are going to take it seriously, and Sandy is a pretty well known flake.”

[Imagine Casey Jones trying super casually and nonchalantly to grill people about the Hamato's, and doing a terrible job of it.

Blair: Wow she's down bad. Imma help my bro out-

So Casey has a lot of info about Raph's star sign, hobbies, and food allergies, but nothing that she was probably looking for. It's very confusing for her. EVERYONE (except for Raph) is aware of Casey. Casey in the show just did not strike me as a subtle person, even though she IS a ninja.]

She stared at him a long time, and at a very pointed cough from Coach Garcia, she rolled her eyes and took his hand to shake. Her hand disappeared into his.

“Fine. But, my name is Cassandra. You can call me Casey.”

[Raph is going to ask a lot of polite questions and introduce himself and be super lame, and Casey is going to feverishly try and pretend she hasn't been stalking their family. (Mostly Raph though.) Mikey will benevolently watch, like he's making sure two dogs sniff each other through the door and get along correctly. He'll only intervene to make sure Raph gets her phone number before they leave.

Cassandra will think she nailed it.

Mikey is of the opinion whether she has a crush on Raph or just wants to be a friend, her and Raph will probably get along so he's in full support of this.

What DONNIE AND LEO are aware of though is a whole other story.)

Enjoy the second to last HC's, bubz. Who knows... The anon to lovers pipeline sounds kinda in rn..

*in bed*

Reg: So. Just to clarify..You actually like me right?

MC: No, I kept a portrait that kinda hurt to have in my pocket which gave me splinters btw, around for years, got devasted by the demise, slept in said portraits room as a source of comfort, went all the way to NORWAY at the off chance something could be done for said boy in portrait, went into a creepy cave, nearly died, did a ritual, all because I can't fucking stand you.

Reg, contemplating: ..you were in my bed before marriage? 😙

MC: You kinda make me wanna drown myself.

Reg: I thought we established it's too soon for those-

.

.

.

Reg, panicked: YOU SAW VOLDEMORT IN THE CAVE?

MC, crying: YEAH HE WAS SO FUCKING UGLY.

.

.

.

Sirius: There is no fucking way.

Harry: There is definitely a way and fucking is likely involved.

Reg, unfazed: What was it you say birdie.. No bitches? 🤔

Sirius and Harry: Fuck this combo. Fuck this combo. FUCK THIS COMBO-

.

.

.

Blaire: Nah you better be fucking forreal.. FIRST YOU ANSWER MY MOM BEFORE ME, LEAVE ME TO FEND FOR OUR CHILD AND NOW YOU GOTTA SICK VICTORIAN CHILD LOOKING BOYFRIEND? I'm having a moment. Oh i'm have a serious moment.

Reg, coughs: Wrong brother to be having a moment with.

Blaire: Girl, you BETTER be joking.. 👁️_👁️

Mc: I think I'm going to pre-maturely die now. I wish you the best.

.

.

.

Kreacher: MASTER REGULUS HAS RETURNED AT LAST!

*Reg holding MC's hand*

Kreacher: WITH UH.. THE BLOOD..THE BLOOD PLEASER..?

Sirius, behind them both, disgusted: You know, I know you don't know what you're saying and you're aiming for better than blood traitor but you could have said literally anything else. Anything. God.

.

.

.

I have so many.. thoughts. feelings. headcannons. but rly, I want to say thank you first. I've had a pretty rough month and my highlight was always getting to read Second Son. Reg always was a soft spot of mine but your characterisation was probably as close to how I imagined it. When the 3rd last chapter came out? Girl, I was in a boba shop, moral supporting my friend and he thought I was delirious CUZ I WAS GIGGLING. Of course, I'm sad it's come to an end but your journey as a writer sure as hell hasn't thus I'm super excited for you new work!! I hope you're proud of the series because not only were you delivering so often, you rly made all our days when you did. I'm wishing both sides of your pillow are how you desire them to be..

All the love, beloved hc anon 💌✨

My lovely hc anon <33!!! The anon to lover pipeline is def in<333 !!!!

Regulus would definitely be up at ungodly hours just contemplating that kind of stuff (poor reader, but same Reg). Also LOL, reader was more disturbed by Voldemort's snake face than anything else (like reader definitely gets nightmares of that moment at the cave still).

Regulus and Reader would literally drive Sirius up the WALL, like they give him and James a run for their money. +++ I'm so dead LMAO, you captured Blaise's humor perfectly, that is something he would definitely say in his head while plastering on a wide grin !

BLOOD PLEASER. I LOVE that omg...Kreacher is trying to be better, but he would most definitely come up with the most absurd nicknames ever.

I'm so glad that my series has been able to lift your spirits, my dear!! And I must thank you as well because your hc's always made my days so much brighter and really helped bring the characters to life!! You are truly one of my most beloved anons on here, and I really am going to miss these messages <33! I went into this series not expecting much, but I'm so overwhelmed by the kind words I received, and I starkly remember the first ever hc message you sent me. I was just blown away that someone would take the time to do so much for the series, and I truly want to thank you <33!!

I'm excited for the journey ahead and I hope to see you around !! Wishing you a lovely day/night wherever you are !!

Oc Interview Tag for Darcy aka "The Tonight Show: Without Clementine!"

Tagged by these pals! Thank youu!:

@mysticstarlightduck here

@doublegoblin here

@asterhaze here

(gently) tagging people I hope haven't been over-tagged: @digitalsatyr23 @frostedlemonwriter @abalonetea @basalamander-corner @wrenofthewords @teawhilewriting @innocentlymacabre @zestymimblo @sergeantnarwhalwrites @new-royston-cursebreakers @murosakiiro @hghrules @rubywrite @anulithots & anyone who wants to have at it (say I tagged you!)

...

This is kind of a long read (I went above and beyond again oops). I also included info about more interviews at the bottom for funsies!

Censor warning: mention of alcohol, dead bodies, gore, and mild reference to animal cruelty

Now, without further ado, let's meet our 4th interviewee, Darcy, from my WIP Crater City!

...

Much to Darcy’s irritation, he was invited to this wonderful interview that is being televised in color for all of Crater City to behold. Or, at least to those who care. The setting is a bit different from the past interviews, its new setting reminiscent of a dating game show. A cream-colored set decorated with 60s motifs backdrops a tangerine chaise lounge on stage right and a podium covered in flowers on stage left. It is unusually devoid of life after-hours, but it is the only place suitable for such a high-demand guy like the mayor of Crater City. A live studio audience seems to have congregated itself, composed of the previous candidates: Jemmah, Blair, and Elijah. In the front-center row, they are chained to those foldable theater seats with poor lumbar support that eat your ass if you sit too far back. They are not allowed to get up until the interview is over. Because that would be rude. 

Darcy makes his way through a dark labyrinth of sorts (not unlike the back of an optometrist’s office), until he finally reaches the stage. The hot stage lights flit between colorful hues, accentuating his chestnut hair, navy suit, and elaborate tie. The live studio audience groans, but thankfully it can’t be heard under the fake cheering the host rigged. Darcy is instructed to make himself comfortable on the sofa, to which he crosses his legs like a respectable guest. Shortly, the Very Desirable and Well Maintained Host makes his way to his post behind the podium. The words “The Tonight Show Without Clementine” flash on the screen, accompanied by applause. 

Host: Thank you for coming to the show tonight!

Darcy: It’s about damn time. You’ve been putting this off for weeks, completely messing my itinerary up. I’m a busy man, you know. 

Host (adjusting tie): Apologizes!

Darcy (with a frigid glare): Shall we get on with the interview, then?

Host: ...

Host: Eh…yes?

Darcy: ...

Host: Uh, yes–yessir! Right away, sir!

[1.] Are you named after anyone?

Darcy: Am I named after anyone? (pauses in thought) No, not that I can recall. 

Darcy: But I believe I was going to be named Sydney. 

Host: You know, I can see it. 

[2.] When was the last time you cried?

Darcy: Excuse me? What kind of interview is this? 

(from the audience, Blair whispers something in Elijah’s ear. They snort. Darcy squints his eyes at them.)

Darcy: But if you really want to know, that's something I can't recall. 

Host: Oh, come on, you can be honest with me, Darcy. 

Darcy: No, I just mean that I physically can't cry. 

Host: And why is that?

Blair: Because he's a robot after all! DUN DUN DUN~!

Darcy: Ok, that is not even remotely the reason why. 

Elijah: Yeah, that's more my thing, Blair. 

Jemmah: What is going on here?

Host: I actually have no clue! 

[3.] Do you have kids?

Darcy: No, but that is something that’s been drilled in my head since I was younger. 

Host: Do you mind elaborating on that?

Darcy: About being told how precious my genes are and that I am an important asset to saving humanity? Oh please, that’s disgusting to think about. Have you no manners?

Host: Oh, I…I'm sorry. I shouldn't have pried. 

Blair (quietly): That’s fine, we don’t want your offspring anyway.

Darcy: What was that?

Elijah (sinking down in his seat): Blair!

Jemmah (suddenly with a wine glass): I’m not sure what’s going on here, but I’m invested. 

Blair (pointing at Jemmah): Yo, who gave him alcohol? I want some!

Jemmah: There was some on the way in, didn’t you see the huge sign?

Blair: What sign?

Darcy: It’s just like you to miss glaringly obvious signs. 

Blair (baring his teeth): …Say that again?

Host: Hey, everyone, let’s try to get back on track!

[4.] Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Darcy: I do; I think many people miss it. Which isn’t my fault. If you can’t detect it, that’s your loss. 

Jemmah (raising her glass): You and me, both. 

Host: Tell us a joke. 

Darcy: A joke? Oh, I didn't come prepared…!

Host: Oh, just anything’ll do!

(Elijah looks uncomfortable in his seat. Blair is half-asleep.)

Darcy: [censored due to censorship guidelines]

(Elijah, Jemmah and Host turn pale.)

Host: Ahaha, something pg-13 would be preferred, Darcy!

Darcy: Oh! Right, right…

Jemmah (whispering): I take back what I said.

Darcy (clears throat): What's the difference between a pair of jumper cables and a dead body? 

Host: Oh gosh…what?

Darcy: Blair doesn't keep a pair of jumper cables in his trunk. 

(The laugh track plays.)

Blair: Now, listen here! The only reason I don't have any is because I don't own that car! 

Jemmah: And you also didn’t stuff a body in your car…right?

Elijah: Then whose car is it?

Blair: I…rented it?

Darcy: The jokes just write themselves, don't they?

Blair & Jemmah: What's that supposed to mean?

Host: Uh-oh, things aren't looking good for Blair…

(Elijah shakes his head in disappointment. Jemmah is concerned for his own safety since Blair sits next to him.)

[5.] What's the first thing you notice about people?

Darcy: The amount of eye contact they make.

Host: Oh, really? What does that say about me?

Darcy: I was just kidding, I don't usually look people in the eye unless I must. 

Host: O-oh, yeah, right!

Darcy: But to answer the question, I notice how they carry themselves. If there's a certain word they enjoy saying or the cadence of their speech. The casual or formal way they act, the way they walk, who they surround themselves with…I learn a lot. I like to learn about others. 

(The host looks a bit troubled about the idea of Darcy getting a clear picture of him)

Darcy: Oh, don't look at me like I'm the odd one. Blair said the exact same thing as me in his interview!

Blair: True. 

Host: Well, what can you say about me?

Darcy: That, for some reason, you're scared of me. I'm not sure why, though. It's kind of insulting. 

Host: Oh, no–I'm not scared of you! 

Darcy: Yes, you are. 

Host: You're just…so…

Host: Well, I can't help but feel like I should be the one being interviewed! (Laughing)

Darcy: Oh, am I imposing? 

Host: No, I didn't mean it like that! Ah, forget what I said…

[6.] What's your eye color?

Darcy: Can't you see? (catching himself) Oh, I apologize, that was probably presumptive. Can you see?

(Editor's note: we are unable to tell whether or not Darcy is being sarcastic here)

Host: I…yes, I can, actually. It was just a question in the list. Aha!

Darcy: I'm just confused who came up with these questions, is all. 

Darcy (pointing to each eye): I've got a blue one in my left and a brown one in my right. 

(The camera zooms in on Darcy's face)

Host: Oh, so like that one famous musician? 

Darcy: Who?

Host: Ah, nevermind. That was a weird thing to ask. 

Darcy: If you're wondering, I was born this way. Human error. No big deal. 

Host: Well, I think they suit you just fine. They're enchanting. 

Darcy (plainly): You think so?

[7.] Scary movies or happy endings?

Darcy: A happy ending. 

Jemmah: I don't like the way he's grinning like that…

Host: Oh, really? Do you have any movie recommendations for us?

Darcy: A Clockwork Tomato and One Flew Over the Crow's Nest. 

Elijah: Those movies…don't have happy endings. 

Darcy: Depends on what you define as a “happy ending.” Maybe that's why you're so emo. Cause you don't know how to look on the bright side of things. 

Elijah (in all black): Emo?!

Blair (jolting awake): Huh?!

Jemmah: Gah! Stop yelling in my ear, Blair!

Host: What interesting selections! I've never actually seen either of those movies before, but I'll trust your judgment. 

[8.] Any special talents?

Darcy: Apparently I have a light step and often scare people by mistake. I also know how to disable alarms and explosives, memorize license plates at a glance, and find almost every constellation in the sky. Believe me, I've had all the time in the world to do so. 

Host: That is impressive! But I have to wonder, how often are you going to encounter explosives? Sounds dangerous. 

Darcy: Oh, as mayor I have to watch my back. Many people aren't too fond of me. 

(The camera pans to the audience who looks like they couldn't care less for Darcy. Blair picks his nose.)

Host: Oh…really? Sounds scary. 

Darcy: Yeah, just ask that miscreant in the crowd. (Points to Blair)

Blair: Aw, poor you. Scared of a little pipe bomb right outside your window. And you call yourself the mayor. 

Elijah: Not this again…

Darcy: See? He just incriminated himself! On television, at that! But no one will care, he'll just get off scot-free.

Darcy: I don't even know how he got close enough to do that–! 

Blair: Easy–your security is trash. You should hire me to rewire your system, except I kinda don't like you, so there's that. 

Jemmah: Do you have magic where you're from, too?

Elijah: No, Blair's just one lucky son of a bitch.

Blair: Hey, give me some credit. 

Host: Wow, you two seem to share some animosity towards each other. 

Darcy (sighing): I don't hate him. He's just this spur in my heel that I can't shake off. People like Blair are selfish and hinder progress because they value their inner circle more than the general population. 

Blair: You're just mad you don't have any friends. Seriously man, why put your social life on blast like that? Why do that to yourself?

Darcy: I'm just trying to help people like you, but you refuse my efforts. It's maddening and confusing. You're like a boiling frog. Impossible to reason with. 

Jemmah (tipsy): …What are we talking about again?

Elijah: Special talents?

Host: Ah, let's proceed to the next question!

[9.] Where were you born?

Darcy: Crater City.

Host: Ah, born in the same city you watch over. You must be proud of where you come from. I know I'd be! 

Darcy: Yes, I take a lot of pride in my city. You know, my grandfather would have passed the baton to me if things had worked out. 

Host: Well, then! Leadership must run in the family. As does looking sharp. 

Jemmah: Oh please, you call a man in a simple suit “looking sharp.” Is that all it takes?

Darcy: I wouldn't be saying that while decked out in holographic clothing. I can see you from here, you know. 

Jemmah (under her breath): Oh, I don't like this guy. 

Blair: I mean, compared to me and Elijah, you have to admit, he's got some style. 

[10.] What are your hobbies?

Darcy: I like to stargaze, read, collect ties (pulls at tie), learn more about the world around me, and embroider…I like to embroider plants and flowers. They remind me of better days. 

Host: What do you embroider on?

Darcy: Clothing, mostly. Even if I were asked beforehand to bring in finished pieces, I couldn't because they were all gifts. 

Host: Oh, I'm sure they're lovely. I could never sew, I'm not nearly as patient!

Darcy: It’s easy if you have steady hands and nothing else to do but daydream. I wish I had more time. (distantly) I'd love to go back…

[11.] Do you have any pets?

Darcy: I do! I have three rats called Juni, Vinnie, and Addy. 

(The camera zooms up to Darcy showing the Host a picture of his pets: three rats snuggle around his neck and peek through his mess of curly hair.)

Host: How adorable! 

(Elijah whispers something to Blair, which Jemmah overhears and gasps in disgust.)

Jemmah (now drunk): Darcy did what?!

Elijah: Jemmah, please–

Jemmah (struggling to break her restraints): You mean to tell us we're locked in a room with a man who used to make his pet rats fight against each other?! 

Elijah: Jemmah!

Blair: How do you know this? 

Host: Well, that sounds unflattering! Don't worry, Darcy. We'll cut it out of the final. 

Darcy (calm): It's alright. I'll get them after this interview. 

Host (concerned): Right….

[12.] What sports do you play/have you played?

Darcy: I've played very, very many. Let's see…volleyball, tennis, archery, fencing… I was in a 5-dimension chess club at some point. Not sure if that's considered nerdy where you're from. 

Host: What is 5-D chess?  

Darcy: You use space and time to move around the board. You know, five dimensions. 

Host: Eh…right?

Darcy: Whoever wins the most times lines wins. Easy. 

Blair: It's really just chess but for larger nerds. Don't let it get to your head. 

Elijah: I just can't understand it. Then again, I never understood movies with time travel. 

Darcy: Just say that you're uncultured. 

Jemmah (pointing): The yeast used to make this wine has more culture than the three of you. 

Host (calling from the set): Indigo, are you in the audience? Yeah, please stop serving Jemmah drinks. I don't think he needs any more. Yeah, that'll do! 

[13.] How tall are you?

Darcy: 6 feet.

Host (joking): You know, many people lie about their height. 

Darcy (monotone): Why would I lie about my height?

Host: Oh, haha, no reason! 

[14.] Favourite subject in school?

Darcy: I never went to public school–

Blair (interrupting): Which explains a lot…

(Elijah & Jemmah cover Blair’s mouth.)

Darcy: But I gravitated more towards sociology in college. 

Host: Why is that? 

Darcy: I found studying why societies work the way they do far more interesting than psychology. Psychology is more exclusive. Sociology taught me the larger picture–why things happen, what we can predict to happen, and hindsight. It angered me, surprised me, and taught me a lot of things I hadn't considered while in captivity.

Host: Captivity…?

Darcy (confused): Did I stutter? 

Host: No, I was just curious what you meant by that. But we don't have to delve into…

Darcy (tapping foot): How many questions are left?

Host (checking chart): Oh, just one more. Then we'll get out your hair!

[15.] Dream job?

Host: I'm sure this is a rather obvious question for you, the mayor, but…

Darcy: As a kid I wanted to become a nurse. 

Jemmah: Feel that. 

Host: Oh, what happened to that?

Darcy: I wasn't supposed to be a nurse, I was supposed to lead people. Fate works in mysterious ways, so…here I am.

Blair: Fate must be some wacked-up sadistic bitch. 

Darcy: You'll understand when you're my age, piss ant. (To Host) You better cut that out. 

Host: Yes, of course.

Darcy: As I was saying, I was set for other purposes…I suppose I get to help people either way, as was my original intention. But there are some downsides. Now, if I want to play with mangled bodies, it's seen as taboo and illegal. 

Host: …!

Darcy: I'm only joking, you know. Don't act so high-strung!

Host (laughing?): Right, right…

Host: Well, it was lovely meeting you here tonight, Darcy. 

Darcy: It was a pleasure. 

(Host points towards stage right and Darcy turns to look.)

Host: Now, if you would just walk straight until you hit a red door…

Darcy: Right…

(Indigo silently appears behind Darcy and firmly taps the back of his neck until he slumps forward, unconscious.)

Host: And that's all the time we have for tonight!

Automated applause fills in the silence. The camera pans to the audience one last time: Blair is comforting Elijah, who is fearful of the possibility of Darcy sitting next to them; while Jemmah seems to be asking Indigo questions about how they got here and how to escape. The title “The Tonight Show Without Clementine” appears one last time before the screen fades to black. Immediately after, an ad for your local attorney plays its funky tune. 

Host (sighing): Well, that's another addition to our collection. Like flies to a honey trap. Wonderful performance, everyone. 

Indigo: I'm eager to see who the next guest will be. 

Host: All in good time, Indie. Now, we wait.

What Happened to Blair Flannigan after GX?

Alexis Rhodes : So yeah...Well, apparently. Blair Flannigan that used to duel with us, is kinda dead for some reason. She did not make it on Arc V after I saw her on tv as a cheerleader who also died after seeing her as a cameo.

Yuya : Really? How did that really happened?

Alexis Rhodes : Well, uhh...

*flashback*

Alexis Rhodes : Hold the phone! You quit dueling and went on being a cheerleader!? I saw you on the screen and on TV! No wonder why you left duel academy and never came back to dueling.

Blair Flannigan : You thought that dueling would be great, but turns out my life as a cheerleader didn't really matter to me! And now I feel like a washed up loser after Jaden left.

Alexis Rhodes : Is there something that you can do for yourself? I mean, you're Blair Flannigan, and you are a duelist that knows something important about duel monsters, but then you threw your life away and became a cheerleader now I understand why you've been chumley's replacement for the past years. Does that make you sound cool? I think we're gonna give you a better job than cheerleading. So much for you to have the attention since Jaden left duel academy.

Blair Flannigan : Hey, Alexis. You know something what I needed something for my life?

Alexis Rhodes : Uhh, okay. Sure.

Blair Flannigan : I think to start something to do instead of cheerleading, I think I'm going to do something for what I must do after Jaden left. I did become a slifer red after you told me about being at duel academy since 4kids dropped the balls to hid the real ending where Jaden really left duel academy.

Alexis Rhodes : Of course, which is why he never returned and never came back.

Blair Flannigan : Of course, but there is a way to see Jaden back again. I just know Jaden Yuki. Because I wanted to do something for him and that's exactly what I'm about to do, instead of being a cheerleader!

Alexis Rhodes : That...That sounds awesome! How are you planning on reuniting with Jaden Yuuki?!

Blair Flannigan : Easy! I got the perfect plan, and I know how to see Jaden Yuuki again.

Alexis Rhodes : And how does seeing Jaden Yuuki could possibly be at the return from GX?

Blair Flannigan : Like this! *GUN COCKS*

Alexis Rhodes : Umm, I don't think you were supposed to do that, Blair.

Blair Flannigan : Of course, I do! This is going to be the way to see Jaden Yuuki once more! See you on the other side, Alexis. [Puts a gun on her head]

Alexis Rhodes : Uhh, Blair? I wouldn't do that if I we're you and, uh, I-I wouldn't dare let you--[panicking] I DON'T THINK THAT YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO DO THAAAAAA-[GUN SHOT!]

(cuts back to Alexis and Yuya)

Alexis Rhodes : So, apparently. That's the real reason Blair Flannigan never returned and She just died by doing one particular that she did.

Yuya : So that's your reason to tell me, Blair Flannigan really died and never came to ARC-V? How did she died by what, Alexis? How did she died?

Alexis Rhodes : I don't know, Yuya. How I do know that Blair Flannigan died of something?

Blinky : Oh yeah, I know how that ex-duelist/cheerleader died of something that you all know it. And she barely knew that she did the same thing as I did.

Alexis Rhodes : Like what? What was the same that she did the same thing as you after both of you died?

Blinky : Here's one very Important thing how Blair Flannigan and I made possible ways to fall for our deaths and fates.

Alexis Rhodes : What's so important? What's it called being your only fates?

Blinky : Okay, then. I'll tell you what it's called... Saving orphans burning from a burning church.

Yuya : You mean, that's the reason Blair Flannigan and never came back to Arc-V because you and Blair did the same thing? That's the important thing about your deaths?....

Blinky : Yep.

Alexis Rhodes : ....Oh, Okay! Yeah that makes totally sense.

Yuya : Totally!

Blair Flannigan (as a Ghost) : Hey, guys. I'm right here you know!

Yuya : Oh my God! It's a ghost of Blair Flannigan!

Alexis Rhodes : Let's get out of here!

[the two runs off]

Blair Flannigan (as a ghost) : (sighs) Amateurs. I guess the world of Yu-Gi-Oh isn't ready for me, now. I'll just haunt my way back to the place of my former Glory.

Blinky : So, you wanna go haunt Pac-Man?

Blair Flannigan (as a ghost) : Oh yeah! I love haunting Pac-Man! Sure! Anything from your ghostly friend, man. Anything from your ghostly friend

Blinky : Good, cause we're planning on raping his soul in an instant.

Winged Kuribo : That's totally nothing but context out of something! I guess I'll be waiting for Jaden Yuuki in the next time, I think. [Dillweed passing by] Anybody wants some dessert?

[Iris out]

A Movie Marathon

A/N: This fic isn't "set" during or around an episode but based purely off of a Shining joke Hodgins makes in season 2. (During that episode that reminds me of The Blair Witch Project) ---

The killer jumped onto the screen, catching the woman off guard who screamed as the axe dug into her side—a loud squelch sound followed by a spray of blood. Elias squeaked, jumping in the seat next to Hodgins who seemed into it. 

Elias, on the other hand, had his face pressed to Hodgins' neck, eyes closed tightly. This was… the 6th horror movie? And he was getting jumpier as time went on. This was also not the first time he'd grabbed Hodgins or hidden against him.

Hodgins laughed and told Elias he was squeezing him. Elias opened an eye and leaned away. "No, I wasn't!" He looked back at the screen to see the woman dead on the floor.

"Right."

Hodgins had insisted Elias stay the night. It was late and dark, and he definitely didn't want to ride home alone. Not that he would've voiced that now. Despite Elias consistently saying he'd sleep on the couch, Hodgins wouldn't let him. Elias eventually gave up.

Hodgins even gave him a shirt to sleep in. Elias didn't say it out loud but it was comforting after the barrage of horror movies. It was well-worn, and smelt like Hodgins. It was a tad big on him, and Elias debeated a few moments before opting to sleep in the shirt and his boxers. That wasn't weird, right?

Hodgins' room felt quiet now, as the two men lay separately. Too quiet for after all the horror movies they had watched. Scenes played back in Elias' head and he took a deep breath, rolling around.

Eventually, he pulled the covers up to his chin and curled up, burying his face into the pillow. He started to drift off when a loud clunk shocked his nerves. He stopped breathing as Hodgins jumped up. At that, Elias instinctively went to reach for his knife. His hand touched the bed frame, and nothing more. 

"Fuck!!" Hodgins yelled, cringing as he rubbed his knee. 

"What…?" Elias tried to feign he had been asleep. "Eveythin' okay Hodge?" 

"Yeah I think it was just--" the noise started again and Hodgins' eyes scanned the dark room. "It's my minifridge. Dumb thing does this all the time. Go back to sleep, baby." 

"O-okay…" Elias swallowed. He felt vulnerable. 

"Actually? Do you mind if I get into bed? The couch isn't as comfy as it normally is." Hodgins was not going to admit he felt on edge. 

"Oh. Not at all," Elias blinked in his direction, as Hodgins climbed in.

"I'll make sure to stay away. Leave enough room to not encroach on your manly space." Elias snickered.

"Hodgepodge," he cooed, "I've shared a bed with another man. You're fine." 

Hodgins let out a small breathy laugh as he wiggled, getting comfortable. Elias still felt on edge. Hodgins' house was so big. And dark. He was used to darkness but it felt so much scarier right now.

Unintentionally or not, Elias started to wiggle closer to Hodgins, who seemed to be asleep already. Elias stopped a few inches from him, closing his eyes. 

He stayed awake for a few minutes, listening to the steady rhythm of breaths from Hodgins. He let it lull him to sleep.

By the time Hodgins began to stretch out, starfishing, Elias was fast asleep curled up small. Hodgins was also asleep, unconsciously taking up more room on the bed.

Hodgins was the first awake, blinking away his drowsiness and the tail end of some weird dream. He started to stretch, going to move as he suddenly stopped. 

Elias was still asleep, mouth open slightly, still curled as well. He looked cute, Hodgins thought. He then noticed Elias was laying on him. His head on Hodgins' arm, back to his side. 

Hodgins smiled, just watching Elias sleep. This was great. He was doing great! His crush in his bed, asleep, on him? Hodgins stayed as still as he could. 

He could have easily pushed Elias off or moved his arm. But he didn't want to. Right now, Hodgins wanted to stay in his bed. Everything else could wait. God knows when he'd get this again.

#tricks writing #selfship #selfshipping #self insert #bones show #bones fanfiction #<- I am so hot and cool and sexy I WILL put my self insert stuff into main tags bc I deserve it #Also still thinking abt him telling Brennan in the Gravedigger episode the baby thing is like a habit #ok now I shower byebye!! #Oh also in my head this IS happening at like end of the episode.

what are ur thoughts on people saying serena only ever saw nate in a platonic way?

I mean I disagree lol. Like yeah I think it's fair to say that it's pretty much canon that Serena loved Dan more than Nate (not saying she should've, just saying that's where the writers choose to go with it) but that doesn't mean that she only saw Nate platonically??? I mean she was clearly attracted to him and had genuine romantic feelings as well. "I've waited a really long time for this. - Me too." "Even if I end up with Dan a part of me will always love Nate" etc. etc.

I think part of it is that the writers set up some really good stuff for them at the beginnings of both season 1 & season 2, only to keep them apart for the rest of the season. And like narratively I guess it makes sense? In season 1, Serena felt so much guilt about what she had done to Blair, that when she came back (for Eric) she felt she had to keep Nate at arm's length in order to not betray Blair again. And then she got involved with Dan and fell hard for him and she was able to bury any feelings she had for Nate deep down (also given the sequence of events in the pilot, you could kinda glean from it that she initially agrees to go out with Dan - a near stranger at that point - in order to stay away from Nate).

And then her and Dan broke up, and Serena figured Blair was over Nate, and they were both going to the Hamptons that summer, so it was okay to be close again. But they're still not there yet, Serena's not over Dan, Nate gets involved with Catherine (ugh), and though they do share a kiss, you can tell Serena immediately feels guilty about the way it clearly made Dan feel. Once again, she's hurt someone she loves by engaging in intimacies with Nate. That can't feel good.

So once again, Serena and Nate seem to be keeping distance from each other, and besides, they're both going through a ton of upheaval in their personal lives (Serena gets a new stepfather, only this time instead of leaving, he DIES, then her mother starts dating her boyfriend's father, oh also you have a half brother, oh wait he's dead too!) (Nate's family is broke, then he's homeless and moving around from place to place, then his dad gets taken in by the FBI, now grandfather is back in his life) so it makes sense that they would ultimately return to comforting old flames Dan and Vanessa (and later Blair) - oases of stability amongst all the other chaos of their lives.

It's only once Serena & Dan and Nate & Blair seem to have truly found closure that Serena and Nate can finally go down that path towards each other. But I think by then it was too late, the writers had made up their minds, they had set too much groundwork for Serena and Dan and to them, Serenate was just something to check off the bucket list rather than something they truly committed to doing. Which is a damn shame, cause serenate had so much potential, but the writers didn't want to see that.

So yeah, I think that's why people say that, cause the writers never fully committed to doing Serenate justice and kept them apart far longer than they probably should've if they wanted to build universal support for them.

Rewatching Malleus Maleficarum

Welcome to "The Nice and Accurate Protests of Dean Winchester, Witchfinder General: A Supernatural Rewatch Blog" with Lor and Mace!

  Up today, s3e9: Malleus Maleficarum

    The boys stumble onto a coven of suburban housewife witches, who are using their power to become president of the PTA or some ridiculous nonsense. Dean's not happy with the job because he hates witches because they're messy, and to be honest he's not all wrong - there some seriously gross stuff going on, including teeth falling out and maggots in hamburgers. So yeah, ew. It turns out, though, that one of the witches isn't a witch at all, but a demon. Fake Wifey Witch Demon slams Sam and Dean up against a wall while revealing Ruby's interesting past. Then Ruby does some revealing of her own, telling Dean that all demons are humans who've had the humanity tortured out of them in hell and that's what he has to look forward to once he's been hellhound dragged down there. Dean's...not happy about this either, but isn't quite ready to open up about it to Sammy. Which is, of course, SHOCKING.

  Below is a log of our real-time reactions as we watched. Remember that there may be spoilers for any part of SPN’s 15-season run here. Note also that the nature of our conversation is adult and thus it may contain adult language and themes.

5., 6. and 10. for the horror movie ask thing

OH HO HO HO

Just answered 5 - my top 5 horror movies:

The Descent Hereditary Lake Mungo His House

And for number 5 it’s either be Kairo or Ringu, some classic J-horror!

6. What is your favorite genre of horror? (paranormal, slasher, etc.)

Answered this yesterday, so copypasting for ease! I’m a biiiig big fan of paranormal stuff. Psychological horror plus anything supernatural - I’m a massive Haunted House movie fan, for example. Anything that involves ghosts or supernatural entities, especially if we’re talking dead children and ancient gods. Nothing better than creepy and/or dead kids. I also love both folk horror and religious horror a ton!!!! Be that your classic catholic demon frightfest or some of the fantastic stuff that’s come out of South East Asia recently.

Also forgot to add that I really like stuff that features hostile nature/nature hitting back at people/ecological disasters. Thinking stuff like The Bay (which is excellent, one of my fav found footage horrors!)

10. Are there any horror movies/franchises you find overrated?

Oh this is a DIFFICULT one. I truly love all types of horror and each genre has its good and its bad example and just because I don't like a genre or franchise as much as other ones (not the biggest fan of slashers, for example), doesn't mean they're necessarily overrated (so I can't rly comment on the big ones the likes of Friday 13th/Nightmare on Elm Street/Halloween/Scream cause I've only seen a few of those)?

That being said, a lot of initially good movies had sometimes terrible followups though (looking at you, The Descent 2, Blair Witch 2 and Ginger Snaps 2...). Also yeah, they can really stop making Saw movies now lmao. And maybe slow down on some of The Conjuring franchise stuff cause there were some really fun ones in there, but by now it's getting pretty boring 😂

Ask me questions about horror! (still open)

NXT World's Collide - Initial Thoughts

Now to part 2 of 3

In NXT UK's last hurrah before taking a hiatus and becoming NXT Europe, what remains of the UK roster are to be integrated into the normal NXT, including their titles. The World's Collide event sees NXT UK cross NXT in battle in our second PPV of the Weekend, All Out will be (somehow) fitted in tomorrow

Spoilers for the PPV

No matches for the Kick-Off, bit remiss given how it's only a small card

Starting with NA title with Pretty Ricky, but Melo with the hanged jerseys mind games, Sikoa among the shirts, Melo has the NA title decal on his knee pad too

The two are very clean in their wrestling, a great double springboard cutter to cancel each other out popped the crowd

Also Stu Bennett has been great on commentary

Melo wasn't sneaky leaving his foot out for Trick to pull like half an inch XD

Good match, probably could've benefitted from story, Trick did bide Melo time but it was the paul smackage when Ricochet landed on his feet for the Shooting Star Press

Oh, so Roddy's dead

There are a lot of bodies for this four way

Ahhh Briggs and Jensen eliminated first by Gallus, so much for the NXT UK Tag Champions

That alliance between PD and Gallus didn't last

Creeds then eliminate Gallus, who don't leave quietly

Julius' hot tag was great

The eliminated teams are fighting in the ramp for some reason which leads to a le sigh ref bump

Kemp then of course uses this to turn on the Creeds

Urgh they had to go with the Zoolander Twins, where was Brutus throughout all of this?

The same promos from Clash are on NXT, does WWE think that we don't watch both?

Tony D'Angelo trying to validate the fact that he lost LDF doesn't work, but he looks to be trying to side with Cameron Grimes who blows him off

You make Meiko come out first!?

Bit too much smoke for Bea/Blair

Mandy arrives in a...car? Sporting USA attire

Someone is screaming far too much

Yeah that list doesn't do Mandy favours

Reminder that Meiko is 42 years old and still amazing

Bit dumb though to wait for Mandy to pose and not take advantage of it

Mandy's gear seems to be struggling to contain her girls

KAMIGOYE! Only 2

Of course the fickleness of American crowds that they will cheer anyone American against non-Americans

And Rose *URGH* wins, Meiko hits the Scorpion Rising on Blair and after having to set her up, Rose hits both with the running knee

I am absolutely fucking baffled that between Bea Preistley and MEIKO SATOMURA, WWE choose Mandy Fucking Rose to still be their champion

Why do I even bother? They made her beat Raquel, KLR and Io after all, I just expected the better wrestler to win

They moved Axiom vs Nathan Frazer to Wednesday :/

Just be Nikki Cross and Piper Niven already!

First to challenge all active women's championships but won nothing in NXT

Chance is literally so mini compared to Doudrop XD

Toxic Attraction make a distraction which occupied Nikki so that KC2 can beat Piper, even though Piper proved able to handle both women previously in the match

That's 3/4 interferences btw, plus Nikki could've made it, weak match really

Main Roster bias made the tag champs look weak as it is

The Dyad are just weird, why couldn't we have the Grizzled Young Vets?

Still not sure how I feel about Bate with the long Jesus hair

Of course my internet chooses the main event to start blipping out and killing the vid quality, I've seen the buffer bar longer than I saw Bate's entrance

Never been done? Titles have been unified from two different brands and even companies for like decades

Bronn's shoulder was well up from that Airplane Spin slam

Bronn kicks out of the Tyler Driver 97 but Bate gets to the ropes for the Gorilla Powerslam

Bate forgoes the second Tyler Driver attempt to try his rebound Shotei and runs into a spear to lose

Least Tyson Fury didn't come out to sing American Pie, but again it was just, fine? I guess I never quite bought that NXT would give it to Bate

There's something missing as well, I can't quite explain it but it's like that buzz in my chest that makes me into it, Bate and Bronn are great workers, but I feel like they could've done a lot more

Conclusion

Honestly, I would've rather slept. The opener was good but after that it was just a snowball of weak booking choices, I get you wanna make it feel evens but the fact that Pretty Deadly and Mandy became unified champions in succession then postponed a potential best of 3 banger between Ben Carter and A-Kid shows the mentality NXT 2.0 has at play, thew Vince-ism is still there, right down to the 'home team' bias.

I also hope that the NXT UK belts aren't gone, they are WWE's best looking belts, and if they are gone I will happily take the UK title for myself if they name a price.

Overall it was fine, somehow didn't top Clash at the Castle, ball's in All Out's court now. Now I have to have 5 hours sleep...
