Wayne sees it happen, that’s the most horrifying thing, he sees it happen and is helpless to stop it. He is pinned, fighting to keep the zombie at arm’s length and scrambling for his pistol when Eddie tackles the monster off of him. Wayne sees teeth tear into pale flesh a moment before his nephew plunges a knife through a rotten skull. It collapses, now fully dead, and Eddie is sat on the ground, staring at the fresh wound on his forearm.
“No…” Wayne pushed himself up, moves closer to his nephew and silently prayer that he misunderstands what he saw. He needs to be wrong; it can’t end like this. He is crouched next to him now, unsure of what to do with his hands. “Eddie-"
His boy grabs his arm, his grasp so tight it is painful, and looks up at him with tear filled eyes, the liquid already overflowing and streaming down his cheeks. “Kill me.” He doesn’t sound like himself, words foreign in Wayne’s ears as he forces them out. “Please, kill me and get the hell out of here, Wayne. You can’t die, you need to find Gareth and get to the safety zone. Please Wayne.”
Wayne stares at his kid, both of them now surrounded by the full dead zombies. He stares at he pushes himself to his feet, picks up his shot gun with minimal effort now that a fucking monster isn’t trying to consume his life energy. He understands Eddie’s words now even though he doesn’t like them, even though they feel like they should not be spoken. He knows the general direction Gareth ran but doesn’t know what he will find if he goes looking. He stares at the boy that he has failed to protect because he wasn’t paying attention, because he dropped his gun, because-
“Uncle Wayne, please.”
Wayne is a snake, strikes the butt of his shotgun against his temple and Eddie crumples. He allows himself a moment to breathe, to steady his shaking hands, to stare at his nephew. He has a small cut where the gun made contact a moment before, a small rail of blood trickling from it. The transition from Living to Dead isn’t immediate, of course his blood is still red. Even the blood that pools in the bitemark on his forearm is still running red.
They are close to the safety zone here. Detroit is only a couple of days away by foot. And Eddie is never going to make it there. It has been months since this began, their journey left them turned around and lost a dozen times, but they always got back on track. They were going to make it, until now. Now that dream is over.
Wayne retrieves his pack, picks up his flashlight, holsters his pistol, collects the last few items that litter their campsite. He is going to find Gareth and return him to his parents in Detroit. He is not going to fail him too. He turns back to Eddie, raises his gun to fulfill his boy’s final wishes. His finger presses lightly against the trigger, but he doesn’t pull…
He turns around and walks away without a single glance back. It’s selfish, he knows Eddie is gone, but he can’t bring himself to do it. He heads down the path that Gareth ran down, forces rhythm back into his breath and control into his limbs and understands the painful knowledge that when Eddie wakes up, he will no longer be his nephew, he’ll be a monster.

When he thought he'd moved on (ex-boyfriend!txt)
Warnings: not really gender neutral
note: when I started this I wondered if it was appropriate, please let me know if there is any problem. sad hours open, I guess.
Soobin
The cafe was quiet, just the way he liked it. This was your meeting place; even if the place was closed, the two of you would meet here. He got here early, the table in the corner waiting for him as always. The owner had smiled at him and said hello, recognising him as a long-time customer.
As he pulls his earphones from his pocket and begins to detangle them, he unconsciously bounces his leg, an old habit. Soobin's thoughts are distracted, the new song he wants to show you by his favourite band occupying his mind. He's sure you'll like it - he's slowly converted you to a fan over the years.
Once the wires of the earphones are all straightened out, and he plugs them into his phone. The ear with a green sharpie heart is his side, the one with the blue is yours, a little faded from so many bus rides and time spent in bed sharing music together.
The bell on the door grabs his attention, and he looks up - and remembers. It wasn't you who he was meeting. This isn't your meeting place anymore. He feels guilty about being excited, more guilty about forgetting that he's supposedly moved on. Still, he grins painfully convincingly as she takes the seat across from him, as if this was what he had been expecting all along. He tries to figure out how he could have forgotten that this is how things are now, nodding as she is talking, although he doesn’t hear a word.
Yeonjun
Yeonjun doesn't know what day it is, what time it is. All he knows is his phone is ringing, dragging him from his much needed sleep. With a long groan he rolls toward the edge of the bed, not even daring to open his eyes and expose them to the bright light of the sun he can now see from behind his eyelids. Which means he hasn't looked at the caller ID. Which means he answers the way he normally would, half asleep and his brain not quite engaged. He answers with your name.
But it's not you. The voice that replies is so different from yours that it snaps him awake entirely. He is so disappointed he doesn't even panic, his voice so groggy he can play it off that she heard him wrong. After a short conversation, most of which he wasn't paying attention for, he throws the phone into the covers and wonders if he's made a big mistake by starting something new.
Beomgyu
He can't remember much about the dream, only your smile, your eyes, and your hand in his. Now he's awake, and the bed is familiarly warm, the sound of soft breathing behind him. He rolls over with a contened sigh, reaching arms out to pull you against his chest, pressing his nose into your hair. He feels a cheek nuzzle against his neck and all feels right with the world.
"Did you get a new shampoo?" he asks, voice rough with its first use of the day. He lazily pulls his head back and opens his eyes, and reality cracks down over his head like an egg when he sees her.
"No," comes her reply.
It's the first time she's stayed over, the first time anyone has stayed over but you. He was totally fine with it last night. Now it feels so gut wrenchingly wrong. Maybe he should wait a while longer before letting her stay again.
Taehyun
It's been a long, long day. Every muscle aches, and even his brain feels like a muscle with how tired he is. He drops his bag at the door and kicks off his shoes, the sofa calling to him longingly from across the room. The minute his back is on the soft cushion, he knows he'll fall asleep here, but he's not sure that he cares - he's fallen asleep worse places than this. Flicking on the TV, the first thing he sees is an ad about an upcoming movie, a remake of an old classic. He smiles.
"Hey babe," he calls out, "we should take your mom to see this, it's her favourite."
Hearing the familiar creak of the floorboards leading into the kitchen he glances up, and his smile falters. How could he have forgotten? She's looking at the screen with a confused expression, shaking her head. "No, it's not. I've never heard of it." She swings around to look at him now. "Have you even met my mom yet?"
He blinks, somehow feeling more drained than he was before. "Oh... I meant my mom."
Maybe he will go to bed after all.
Huening Kai
He's looking at the photos again, the ones in his phone that he keeps telling himself he'll delete. But every time he pulls them up to get rid of them, he finds he can't. He should, he knows he should, but it seems his head and his heart are at war.
He spends so long flicking through them, there are so many, accumulated over the years you spent together. He lands on his favourite; the two of you at the carnival. The memories the photo brings are so vivid, so precious, he swears he can remember every detail; the temperature of the air, the foods you ate, even the songs you listened to on the way home, car windows down and an impressive amount of sugar in your systems as you sang and bopped along. His mind replays the scene of the two of you on a ride, your laughter amidst the screams of other riders, clutching onto each other's arms for dear life, and how you almost dropped your phone as you reached out to capture the moment.
Kai forgets himself, forgets where he is right now, that this isn't your room he's lounging in, and a loud laugh bursts from him. When his joy filled eyes turn to meet hers, she is giving him an incredulous look over the top of her computer screen. He snaps out of it in an instant and tucks his phone away, apologising with a duck of his head. What is he going to do about those photos?

in honor of the horn shark plush i borrowed (stole) from my dad: horn shark rating ?? <3
Today on CHUNK! FUNK! GUNK! We rate
the HORN SHARK:
Tumblr media
(Look at them please they’re so cute I love them they look like little puppies)
7.2/10 Chunk
7/10 Funk
1/10 Gunk
I love how different sharks can look from each other. I just keep comparing great whites with these guys and laughing at how crazy evolution is.
They’re so very cute but definitely more bony, though I’m not entirely sure if they have bones… (All websites I checked for information mentioned their spines, some saying their spines are used to make jewelry, but I can’t tell if they mean spine like a spike or spine like the bone) The high chunk rating is going off the interpretation that, like other sharks, they have cartilage instead of bone. Seem to have a small mucous layer, low gunk. Very cute smiles and unique appearance, high funk.
—Also, they lay spiral shaped eggs!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Overall: 9/10
So. cute.
I now have a collection of photos of front-facing horn sharks on my phone. They look so stupid and smiley lol

Bakugou has always taken care of you, even before you started dating him. when you were mere friends and still learning each other, he remembered all the small things about you. he always seemed to pack the medicine you preferred when you weren’t feeling good. always had a plethora of your fav snacks on his person somehow, like he was just waiting for you to mention wanting it.
he acts put off by it every time, with his scoffing and eye rolling and huffing. but you see the way his eyes narrow when someone beats him to the punch, when you reject his offer of medicine or food. early on you notice, that he just likes to care for you, look after you, be there when you don’t even realize you need someone.
he’s there when you get high for the first time—all worrywart and frustrated sighs when you keep slurring after an hour. he’s there for you, to help lay you down somewhere safe and ward off those with bad intentions. he’s there when you get broken up with—ready to email that fuckers job and let them know how they fucked you over. but he still holds you tenderly with every sob your shaking body heaves. he’s there when you get drunk—handing you waters and letting you pull him in to dance and sing off key.
and when you finally get together, it’s like you don’t even have to learn anything about the other. its likes you’ve been together for a hundred lifetimes, like your quirks have been ingrained into his everyday routine, like you’re the freckle on the lower left corner of his right hand. he falls into you, and you into him, easier than breathing. he just has a knack for caring—and learning and loving—about those he loves.

Respawn is Phantom
When Danny was electrocuted in the portal, he died, it's true, but it wasn't just his soul that came out. You could call it a case of bad luck, but a ghost was looking to return to the world of the living and saw an opportunity.
So the reason Phantom has that appearance is because the ghost that got mixed into Danny's DNA is Respawn. Slade and Talia's clone who had recently passed away.
Danny is unaware of this at first, but after confronting Dan he began to wonder: why separating his ghost from his human side would make him aggressive? Why does he sometimes feel things that he swears don't make sense? And if Phantom was just a manifestation of his ghost powers, how could he be separated into his own being?
He'd been split up before but it created two versions of Danny, not Danny and Phantom. How could his powers grow a personality of their own without him?
Each of those questions has its own explanation: His ghost side is actually Respawn, which is slowly being absorbed by Danny. Respawn knows exactly who he is (or was) but as long as he's attached to Danny he is Danny, to an extent. Or at least, Phantom, who's a part of Danny more than he is Respawn.
He can remember everything but he can't make Danny remember any of it, because it's not his memories. And Danny both as Fenton and Phantom takes priority in their mind. The reason Dan was like this was because of the influence of Plasmius and Respawn. After all, the serum in Slade's blood often drives teenagers crazy.
Respawn lived all his life questioning his status as a person due to the fact that he was a clone. Living with Slade and seeing their differences made the process easier, but now? Now he can only influence the person who has him trapped, even if it is accidentally. Not knowing if one day he will disappear into Danny's consciousness.
Respawn can't make Danny remember his life, not out of any moral or emotional reason, he is locked behind a mental block, an entire person deep in Danny's subconscious that he doesn't know about and doesn't get to come out pretty much ever.
There are decisions in which Respawn positively influenced Danny. As the way of taking Dani's existence, because he knew exactly how she felt at that time, and Dani reminded him too much of his sister Rose. His influence has also extended to Phantom's way of acting: More fearless and risk-taking than when he's just Danny, he's also more easily swayed by anger (something that was very present in Respawn when he was alive).
Basically, he can affect small things like the aforementioned confidence and anger, emotions and stray thoughts mostly, especially intrusive ones, but he's not in control of anything.
The moment Slade shows up at Amity Park and sees Phantom is when things start to get complicated for Danny and Respawn.
