#trashbag text post

[miyako-jonathan-asgore-simp]

Hallo everynyan

How are you? Fine, sank you. I've created a tumblr community for peeps who are often misunderstood like me! Example: You kinda suck interpreting text so you cause a lot of misunderstandings and annoy ppl out even if its not what you want to and you end up getting hated in any discord server you go yayyy'nt!! Or, people think you're a trashbag just because you don't have control over your strength and are violent with stuff on purpose! Or you just laugh differently from others and people assume you're mocking them??? Or even worse! Sometimes you don't reply to messages because you literally don't know what to say and people think you're ignoring them? YOUR PROBLEMS ARE OVER! In The rejected children's village, nobody will treat you like a mistake or shame you for being immature as a minor (or when you're not a minor but your childhood was stolen so you're a manchild) when it's not even your fault! Puafu, our mascot, will also be your comfort character! (Puafu uses all pronouns including neopronouns like xee/xim)

Hir character ref sheet is in progress though, but here she is! Curiosities about Puafu: 1-They're a dragon! 2-He is pangender and pansexual! 3-She has a missing armwing (arms with bat wings btw) 4-Xee got facial paralysis on one side of the mouth, the right eyelid and eye. The mouth one is medium, the eyelid one is medium and the eye is completely paralyzed. (I used that one tumblr post as a reference!) 5-Fae got a parent/guardian caring persona, fae will take care of the members, make sure they're well fed and happy! Fae knows pretty much most of tea and soups made for healing illnesses, and takes care of them pretty well! 6-Xy is chubby! and also pretty strong, despite missing an armwing. But xy use a prosthetic when xy wants to fly. 7-Thon has both masculine and feminine traits on the body. That's because I wanted to represent as most people as possible! Thon can also produce milk, and feed with happiness and nutrients for thon kids (the community members). (Istg if someone says that's lactation fetish or some other fetish bullshit im gonna jump off a cliff i just wanted to make the character symbolic and comforting like a caring mom/dad/parent/guardian) You can roleplay with Puafu by the way! Or with each other. I'm gonna create a tumblr account for Puafu for that.

[ask-trashhunter]

OK. PART 2.

Spiderpony Hunter

Here's Spiderpony Hunter!! Heavily inspider by Pony Hunter as you can probably tell sagfsahjfd this was also the start of me rlly using spider legs as a reocurring theme. Also way too many of these have pony heads. Erm!!! U can also see my OC The Spludge over there!! It was around this point I was considering making a design bracket tournament, though I was mostly joking about it with myself, had I known for sure I woulda done it I probably would've moved The Spludge a bit so I could crop them out xD But!! Yeha!!! This is also where you'll start to see the tarp/trash bag become more reocurring. I wasn't sure if I wanted it to be a tarp or a trash bag at first as well so it's not shiny at all so I've decided in hindsight it's a tarp. Was there anything more I wanted to say? I don't remember? Look at the arms 🫵🏻 that coloring where I give them a solid color and then the occasional dark spot. Remember that 🫵🏻🫵🏻🫵🏻 I shoulda mentioned that at one of the two Human Hunter designs honestly. Anyway next picture let's go

Ostrich Hunter

They're an ostrich. They're pretty much just. Trashbag Hunter but Different. Also I spent like. A little more than 5 minutes on this honestly maybe probably???? I was doing a thumbnail sketch for the UPCOMING Trash Hunter and I almost died laughing bc the neck I did in the thumbnail reminded me of an ostrich. I was in class so laughing aloud was not an option. Drawing Trash Hunter as an ostrich however, very very much was. I wound up changing the neck of the upcoming Trash Hunter bc I didn't like it. I wound up using it even later though because I did like it after all. And yes, yes they have shovels for wings. Why??? Why?!?!?!!! Science isn't about why! It's about why NOT!!!! Something something safe science something something safe door that WON'T kick your BUTT ON THE WAY OUT!!!!!!1!1!1111111 😤

Anyway :3c

Creature Hunter

Honestly I don't like the name I gave this one but I'm in too deep sihg. Anyway!! This is the previously ostrich-necked Trash Hunter I mentioned earlier!! You can actually barely see the text "Ostrich Hunter" by Creature Hunter's tail!! Idk what compelled me to tie rope around them. But I did!!! And also this is when I started drawing more like, segmented bug-like bodies. Also you see the cog for the eye? That's an idea I've had for ages. At some point I wanna draw a sort of trash sculpture Trash Hunter with cogs for eyes and the cogs move. This is also the first one where I made like a reference for how big Copper is next to them!! I think I just wanted to imagine what Trash Hunter would look like staring down at them. Also I just love the idea that they're friggen huge.

Spider Hunter + Gore Hunter

Ok!!! These two!!! You will find them at the VERY BOTTOM OF THIS POST and I am gonna be placing them UNDER A CUT. Why? This is because Spider Hunter is straight up a spider!! And Gore Hunter is. Well! Gory! Neither of them are photorealistic but you can still clearly tell that they're a spider/that there are guts! Please keep in mind! I will remind before the cut as well!

Stringy Hunter

More segmented bodies!!! More spider appendages!!! More trash arms!!!! More cog eyes!!!!! Moooooooooooree!!!!!!

For this one I also gave them teeth made of pieces of plastic :3 I believe it was this one that I showed off at DND and someone said "I'll see you in my nightmares little buddy" which, yayayaayyayyy!!!! Honestly when I was drawing Creature Hunter I started getting annoyed bc no matter what Trash Hunter just turned out a little too cute. So I finally started getting in a direction that could actually be a bit unsettling!!!!! YIPPEEEE!!!! Also honestly I didn't rlly notice this but I started taking a liking to a nice jaggedy dark tail! And clearly to the stringyness-

Now!! For my last design!!!

Droopy Hunter

Ah- I made them cute again didn't I?

The puppy ears are NOT helping.

Anyway!!! This one's droopy :3 like my OC you saw earlier, The Spludge!! Honestly I just needed to make a droopy runny Trash Hunter, but I didn't wanna make them a pile. Their feet melt into the landfill, though. Hard to tell where the landfill starts and Trash Hunter ends, right? :P

Anyway!!! I have some height comparison charts!!! They're measured by their highest fixed point, that is to say their head for most of them, but their butt for Spider Hunter and for Droopy Hunter. (Don't worry, I didn't forget Spider and Gore, you'll see them later.)

I decided to measure them like this bc it made the most sense and it'd be real unfair if the Trash Hunters who have trash arms could just raise them real high and be EVEN taller. Anyway!!! Trash Hunters are in green, and then we have Copper for scale in orange :3

TADAAAA :D

Ah wait- you can't see anything can you 😭 yeah no neither could I let me just delete Spider Hunter, since they're fucking TOWERING ABOVE EVERYONE ELSE

Whaplow!! Still really fucking hard to see, but I have one last trick up my sleeve-

KABLAMMO!!! This lists them all in the order they're shown. You can either look at this and go like "Hmmm yes okay" and then not do much about it, or keep scrolling back and forth between this and the other charts and meticulously compare everything in your mind, or you can scroll past without a care. Anything works really ^^ sorry that last one doesn't show feet/inches though!! :(

AND NOW

For the CUT!! Content warning for a DRAWING OF A SPIDER and for GORE THAT'S VERY CLEARLY DRAWN BUT IS GORE NONETHELESS! If you do not like spiders or organs feel free to stop looking at this post ok? ^^

LEAVING SOME SPACE

SPACERS

APPROACHING DANGER ZONE!!

DANGER ZONE ENTERED!!!

Spider Hunter

Yeah. Pretty fucking huge!! They have marbles for eyes. I wanted to do something more with eye marbles.... I guess I forgot.... Got too caught up in the frenzy of the cogs.... Oh well I can always draw more Trash Hunter designs!! :3

Gore Hunter

Their skull is a moose skull btw!! Bc I'm from Norway and I'm like mooses teehee!!! Anyway, at one point I was talking to my enemy and I was complaining about not getting Trash Hunter creepy enough, and I can't remember if I wanted to draw them gory or if they suggested I draw them gory??? But honestly I think it was me????? Bc I've been thinking about like, organs, and organs in a Trash Hunter context--- so either way I drew them with organs! And I started playing around with textures a bit with them, some parts are like sorta fluffy looking-- right??? right???????

Anyway probably gonna reblog this with one last comment just to like end it all off!

Ok folks!!! OOC post!! I have 16 Trash Hunter designs now, which means I should be able to run a bracket tournament that lines up pretty neatly! :D

First though I wanna introduce you to all the designs I've done so far!!

All of these have a unique name for voting purposes, but don't worry about remembering them all I'll show pictures of them every time!

Human Hunter 1

Starting off simple, this is Human Hunter 1! The OG, the classic, my pfp! Honestly I kinda rushed this design bc I made this blog on a whim, so I had to make the design super quick! I spent like a little over an hour on this, and I had only really spent 15 extra minutes beforehand thinking about their design, so that's around 1 and a half hour total...... Idk how long I spent on the others. Anyway, basically their top half is pretty human looking, EVERYTHING about them is as green as I managed to get it (green is Their Color to me) and then their bottom half is basically meant to just be a trashy sludge that sort of melts and merges with their landfill. It's hard to tell where the landfill starts and where Trash Hunter ends. Oh yeah- and I have like 3 drawings of them in this style, their skin tone varies a LOT between each drawing lol. um. you haven't seen. the third one btw haha. it's totally not of me and trash hunter holding hands why would you even say that

Human Hunter 2

Alright, this is my second "human" Trash Hunter design. I wasn't quite happy with my first one, so I wanted to change it to something more like this. However!! I never actually got to finish my design until I watched something that changed the way I thought forever. I finished this drawing just this monday actually, because I'd forgotten I had no finished drawing of Human Hunter 2. I want you to remember that giant grapply arm they have and those spider legs. Also, you'll notice there's a line next to them, and it says "Cop" under. That's how tall Copper would be (per my headcanons) next to the various Trash Hunter designs. They really vary in size. For reference, I headcanon Copper as 152 cm, or 5 feet. I'll add a size chart in at the end- they won't be 100% accurate to the pictures but it'll be in the same area at least.

Trashbag Hunter

Ok this. This is where my life changed. I watched the hodgepodge audio new year's patreon video and got friggen mentioned. Hi Raddagher if you're seeing this I'm still not normal about Trash Hunter. I started feeling a bit insecure about my designs like I'd been boring about them so I was trying to redeem myself. When I started imagining Trash Hunter as a fucking trash bag with grillspyd- er- collapsible grilling skewer thingies- for legs. And holy FUCK I could not get the image out of my head it's hillarious and adorable. Relisten to the episode and imagine Trash Hunter like this TRUST ME /nf

Either way, this is where I started to expand my horizons. The trash bag and the grillspyd are sort of reocurring atp. Also this was my Discord pfp for a while, now I've changed it. Might change it back eventually honestly? I don't do that. I don't repeat profile pictures ever. Ok I might have done that at some point. But for now my pfp stays the same. This is my PFP over on bluesky though!

Anyway this is the cutest shit I've ever imagined- the drawings that follow are mostly random doodles I've made at D&D or during class. BUT FIRST!!!

Pony Hunter

Ok so I play ponytown. I played a bit ages ago and then I almost forgot it existed, then my friendo kept showing off what they were doing on there and I'd seen a few vids on it recently and long story short I've made 16.5 new ponies on there and most of them are Hodgepodge Audio themed. Ponytown Pony Hunter doesn't usually wear that turtle but in this screenshot they do. The drawn version shows a bit more how I actually view them though. Oh and that IS a croissant behind their ear, thanks for asking!! (I've been waiting to say that for months, I'm overjoyed now)

Their tail is a compact mirror btw! And that tarp they have in game, those are actually wings, teehee! Oh and I forgot to say why they have croissants behind their ears- basically I was looking at the horns and realized one set of horns was kinda curvy in a croissant-y way. So I was like eh, heck it. Croissants.

Seagle Hunter

This is where the chaos started. I was at DND, and we were on a quest to help a god. We met a seagull who was definitely not a fucking seagull. I ended up getting downed and when we were like what, 5 hp away from killing whatever creature was wrecking our shit, our 2 remaining teammates fucking left us. My character Thomoras only survived because one of our teammates asked the seagull to intervene, and the seagull fucking killed the creature. Thank you, seagull. I called you Karl but I never got your real name. I'm sure you wouldn't have answered if I asked. Anyway!! All that talk about seagulls that session got me thinking "Seagull. Trash Hunter. Trash Hunter seagull." this is an accurate depiction of how I think Always. So yeah I drew them as a seagle (<- that's how I prefer writing seagull) and I was like hell yes let's draw them as more silly things because I focus better when I draw!

So I started asking people for ideas.

Goblet Hunter

And this is officially were I lost it I think. I mean, I learned to disregard canon with this. I have a few different Little Guys as I call them, and they're definitely not canon at all, BUT THEY'RE SO CUUUUTE HELLO!!! 😭😭 I asked my DND buddy to give me a random item and so I drewed this bc they said goblet....... I fucking love these so much honestly

Soup Hunter

I love soup. What more is there to say? They call me the soup enjoyer. I switch in whenever we're about to have soup. I soup my faves. I spam the soup emoji (🥣) when I get too excited for words. It had to be done! It just had to! If you want you can imagine the soup is garbage soup. Or you know those witch potions a lot of people made as a child? Using acorns and grass and flowers and whatever you could find? Could be that too. Or maybe it's brogle soup becos it's my fave and they are my fave :)

Perfectly Generic Object Hunter / PGO Hunter

It had to come eventually. The Homestuck reference. My friend said for me to make them cube and I was like "I heard Homestuck, yes? Homestuck it is."

So yeha they're a green cube now :3

Egg Hunter

They're an egg now. They're just a huge fucking egg and they roll around. They just roll around.

I'm not allowed to add more images hold your horses for the reblog, I'll get image IDs done before I post this though so next reblog should be up in not all that long

undertale meta deepdive: sans is not a good person (OR the sans theory masterpost pt. 1)

❤️ || Part 2 || Part 3

Sans is far from this valiant epitome of good that the fandom so often paints him as. He’s not a hero—hell, he might even be a bad, terrible person. At least in the past. My intention in this post isn’t to crush popular fandom interpretations of Sans in a bad faith argument, rather, it is to challenge preconceptions that have existed for years and to open up discussion on the dubious morality of this popular and loved character; I certainly love him a little more after doing this analysis. 

Section I - A Bad Person (The “What”)

Sans is certainly not opposed to leaving us little breadcrumbs for us in regards to his mysterious past. We get the idea that Sans is separated from his home, likely due to something he did. Something he had thought was important. Something that led him to take his home for granted.

So based off of the previous dialogue, this “type” that he intimately knows... he’s talking about himself. He was very “determined” to do whatever he did, which cost him his home, likely nearly everything he cared about given his angst.

So let’s say Sans used to be “determined”.

Sans is also aware of the SAVE function, meta knowledge that only the player and Flowey should know about because they have or have had this ability in the past.

“Take it from me”: accept that what I say is true, because I know or have experienced it. Sans should have quit when he had the chance. Never satisfied, too determined to bow out. But is he talking about the same thing we’ve been doing? 

When Sans threatens us with the infamous “bad time”, he is NOT referring to the fight... but what comes after, because only after he is struck down, he gives us one final piece of advice:

But HOW does he know that the world is going to be thrown into the “abyss”? Unless he has experienced this first-hand.

This is Papyrus confronting us in the genocide run antecedent to his fight…

…and this is him on Sans. An eerily mirrored piece of dialogue from Papyrus describing us and his brother. What do we know so far? Both Sans and the player need to be kept on “the straight and narrow”, both are “determined”, and both do irreparable damage to the world, possibly sending it to “the abyss”. 

Purgatory: a place or state of suffering inhabited by the souls of sinners who are expiating their sins before going to heaven. Not to mention the suspicious usage of the word “abyss” by Papyrus.

From the evidence gathered, it seems that the reason why Sans isn’t able to return to his world is because he destroyed it in the same manner we destroyed Undertale in the genocide run. Why else would he say “take it from me”; he empirically knows what happens when the world is pushed to its very limits.

But which world could he have destroyed? What world did Sans come from?

(Continues under the cut because this gets really long.)

Section II - The Deltarune Connection (The “Where”)

If you’ve read some Deltarune theory posts, you know that Gaster is prominently featured in Deltarune. He addresses us at the beginning of the game and there are blatant references to him (the phone call in the Dark World, the strange bunker, etc). I’m going to try to prove that Sans will also play a large role in its story. Let’s take a look at the lyrics of the end credits, Don’t Forget. 

When the light is running low And the shadows start to grow And the places that you know Seem like fantasy There's a light inside your soul That's still shining in the cold With the truth The promise in our hearts Don't forget I'm with you in the dark

The truth: Sans says this to us before giving us access to his room, the entrance to which is suspiciously identical to the fast-travel doors that Darkners use. We also get access to his basement.

Promise: Sans has a history of promises. He is regretful of a promise he made in the past.

Don’t forget: Appears on a poorly drawn picture of three smiling people, in Sans’s basement. This phrase is also used in a description for "Memory” in the sheet music booklet from the Collector’s Edition. What do you know, it’s written in Comic Sans too. Go figure.

Now, let me introduce a character that is featured prominently in Deltarune, someone that is somehow related to Sans, someone who isn’t Gaster.

Ice-E is everywhere in Deltarune’s Hometown, but the only inkling we get of his existence is from Sans. The Ice-E word search that Sans gives us is interesting because the title itself is written in comic sans. 

In one of the hospital rooms, there’s a “1-to-10 pain scale using Ice-E as a model”. It’s an uncanny description of Sans. 

Ice-E is also characterized for its missuses of apostrophes. One might call it an “apostrophe-dog”.

Moving on.

Section III - Gaster (The “Who”)

Oh boy, this section is going to be absolutely massive. I’ll try my best to make the logical flow easy to understand. So we know that Sans did (will do) some pretty shady things in the world of Deltarune. To understand why, we have to examine how exactly Sans and Gaster are related. Let’s start with Ice-E since we know that he’s somehow associated with Sans.

The “Nightmare” variant of the Ice-E word search appears in fun values between 56 and 57. There is only one other snowman that appears in Undertale.

We are asked to take “a piece” of it. Let’s investigate where else this specific phrase is used. Following this trail of breadcrumbs reveals other phrases that Sans and Gaster-related things share.

Exhibit A: Gaster follower #2, “time and space”

The prophecy has something to do with Sans and Gaster. I’ll let the evidence speak for itself.

Exhibit B: Memoryheads, “be seeing you”

Memoryheads are the first amalgamate we encounter in the True Lab. Before their spare conditions are met, they are known as "      " (six blank spaces). Gaster is frequently associated with the number six. 

If we attack the Memoryheads, these statements flash by quickly in red text:

FAILURE

But it didn't work.

nope

Absorbed

Don't worry about it.

I'm lovin' it.

Occurs when the player tries to name themselves Sans.

We see the phrase “be seeing you” in only these instances. Below is the Sound Test Room that has a chance to appear if the fun value is set to 65. This is the only place that “Gaster’s theme” can be accessed in-game.

Exhibit C: The dump

“The abyss” makes an appearance again. It’s something to pay close attention to--it’s always somehow related to Gaster. So what does a piece of trash falling into the abyss mean? Well, we know that Gaster “fell” into his creation...

We know that Flowey refers to Sans as “Smiley Trashbag”. Papyrus states that Sans frequents Grillby’s, a “purgatory” and “hamburger abyss”.

(note: Papyrus is referring to a literal trash can here, but the implication that Sans is “trash-like” is here)

If it’s not clear what I’m getting to, then let me spell it out: Sans is a piece of Gaster, they are one and the same. Sans/Gaster took his “experiment” with Deltarune too far, possibly destroying the world and displacing him in Undertale. 

I’ll continue this in another post because it seems that tumblr is breaking.

❤️  || Part 2 || Part 3

[crimsoncityhq]

The fall solstice is only days from breaking over the Crimson City. Heat is a rare commodity to the residents of Chicago, so they part with it bitterly every year at the annual End-of-Summer Festival. The season goes out with a bang and the rumble of food trucks every summer as patrons waltz their way down the Chicago art walk, indulge in all things saucy and boozy at the Chicago Bourbon and BBQ Festival, get in touch with nature at the Chicago craft beer tasting at the zoo, and shop at the Chicago flea market littered with street merchants from all over the country. Of course, the real selling point every year is the annual Chicago bar crawl, which sweeps guests through Cook County’s best bars, like The Pint, Rousseau’s, Cataleya, Wolves and Skyfall Bar. To attract more customers, each bar, restaurant, and club—even what goes on behind—will be steeply discounted for the ultimate occasion. 

And if you’re a little territorial, don’t sweat it—no metal detectors will be necessary at the End-of-Summer Festival. Who would want to ruin all this fun, anyway ?!

Part I of the End-of-Summer Festival begins at 7:15 P.M. CST and will conclude on TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15 at 7 P.M. CST. You may continue your non-event  threads through the event, however we ask you don’t post any starters unless they pertain to the event

Under the cut are plot slots you may claim for this event; just send your preferred slot to the main. Plots slots are a first come, first serve basis.

We’re going to allow each person to choose two plot slots for two characters max .If there are any leftovers, we’ll let members know when they can sign up for thirds. Please try to pick one pertaining to your character and plot with those that take the other spots.

You’ll notice that some of these plots are public, so feel free to have your character react to them/ notice them even if they aren’t happening directly to your character. However, if something feels like it happened privately to another character, please check in with their Mun to see if it’s okay for your character to know.

To be clear: these are not the only things that happen to your character during this plot drop and you are more than welcome to cook up your own trouble.

1. IRA EVANS talks BIRDIE MENDOZA into taking five shots in under ten minutes. Now, it’s up to IRA EVANS to lug BIRDIE MENDOZA to each location on the bar crawl. Good luck—we hear they’re sloppy.

2. [LINCOLN ROSSI ] is having trouble finding their way out of the parking garage when they find [ CHARACTER D ] drunkenly screaming at an intoxicated [ CHARACTER E ]. [ LINCOLN ROSSI ] decides to guide them back to the party before they get lost.

3. [ EDIE JAMES ] accidentally drops a ten instead of a one into the tip jar while watching a street act. They awkwardly remove the tip but later get mugged by [ CHARACTER G ] and [ CHARACTER H ] who had watched the whole thing.

4. The Pint is running a promotion that promises six months of free drinks if you can outdrink two other people. [ LAVRENTI VASILE ], [ ANTON VOLKOV ], and [ ATTICUS MERCER ] compete to win, but the competition turns into drunken chaos very quickly.

5. [ VIOLET MADDEN ]is selected to go onstage and perform a duet with [ CHARACTER M ]. They end up sharing a heated moment over the microphone and head to the nearest restroom to talk. 

6. [ AUTUMN DAWSON ] accompanies [ MARCEL WALSH] to the craft beer tasting at the zoo. [ MARCEL WALSH ] feeds the goats in the petting area before getting mowed over by it. [ AUTUMN DAWSON ] tries to ward the goat off from the sidelines while [ MARCEL WALSH ] returns to their feet to make their escape.

7. [ OAKLEY BUTLER ] is showing off their artwork at the art walk. [ LEONID 'LEO' VASILE ] buys a piece and tries to scam it a few booths down. [ OAKLEY BUTLER ] busts them after a civilian buys the piece of artwork for triple the price. The confrontation is no bueno.

8. [ DIAMOND WASHINGTON ] has been texting [ CHARACTER S ] the whole entire event thinking it was an [ CHARACTER T ]. [ CHARACTER S & CHARACTER T ] meet up at the rendezvous point and [ DIAMOND WASHINGTON ] must sort this miscommunication out.

Masquerade

word count: 1999

synopsis: in which Mark goes to a party, and doesn’t really party at all, and wanders about a little lost. you know that feeling. [alludes to Mugunghwa, but no real spoilers.]

warning[s]: mentions of alcohol [underage drinking]; a single bottle of hard lemonade. party elements, a cheating trashbag. not based on real people. one profanity.

a/n: this is not a spoiler for Imagine That, not really. i want them to have met at a party, but not this one. anyway, sorry this one’s late! i’ll also be posting the next oneshot a bit late since i was working on this one for so long.

“Are you coming to Lucas’s place tonight?”

Mark looks down at the tiny girl who has just sidled up to him on his walk down the stairs to his sixth period class, and puts his arm around her to give her a brief hug. She is bouncing on her heels with excitement, though, so she slips out of his hold rather quickly. “Noona, aren’t you gonna be late for AP Lit?”

“Mrs. Dorian doesn’t really care.” She elbows him, just hard enough to get a cough out of him and draw his attention back down to her. “Tell me you’re coming.”

Mark considers it, pores over the schedule in his binder to see whether or not there’s a youth group meeting or something, but there isn’t.  “Sure, I guess. Can you give me a ride?”

“Hell no. My dad thinks he’s dropping me off at a friend’s house to do a group project.” She scrunches her nose. “I’ll ask Taeyong.”

“He’s not driving you?” Mark raises a brow at that; she and the AP Dance wonder are rarely ever seen apart these days, always walking together during passing periods and eating lunch together. “Dude, he’s so whipped for you.

“Not even. We’re just friends.” She laughs, but the sound is a little strange, like she’s unsure of those last three words. “I’ll actually be late to class if I keep walking with you, so... I’ll see you tonight?”

Mark doesn’t push the topic, only ruffles her hair, earning himself a displeased yowl. “Tell him to text me after the last bell. If he can’t drive me, I’ll ask Johnny-hyung.”

She shakes her head vigorously to unfrazzle her hair. “Okay~ Bye, Mark.”

“See you later, noona.”

Taeyong and Mark pull up to Lucas’s house at nine, an hour after the festivities have already begun. Behind the curtain, the windows flash a rainbow of lights, and laughter spills out into the street, not loud enough for the neighbors to voice complaints, but loud enough for anyone outside to know that the party going on inside isn’t one they want to miss out on.

“Did you bring a mask?” Taeyong stops just shy of opening the door. Cackles of glee and roaring laughter lie just beyond it, and the clink of bottles against cups call tantalizingly to him.

“No, what for?”

“I guess Lis didn’t tell you, huh?” The older boy hands him a white mask, whose facial features are gilded in gold leaf and with ornate details; it’s a bit hefty in the hand, and Mark nearly drops it as he fumbles with the strap. “Give it back to me when we leave later; I borrowed it from the theatre club.”

“Borrowed, or stole?” Mark teases, pulling the mask over his face. He can scarcely see out of the holes carved in it, and his breath comes out in hot puffs. “This is kinda uncomfortable.”

“Borrowed.” Taeyong laughs as he slips on his own mask, a plumed red piece that only covers his eyes and cheekbones; other than his icy-white hair, he’s unrecognizable. “Can’t be helped. It’s the party’s theme, anyway.”

Mark checks his phone’s camera and marvels at how he can barely recognize the shine of his own eyes through the mask. “Lucas’s idea?”

“I think it was Ten’s, honestly.” He pushes the door open, and they enter into the fray.

At some point, Mark acquires a bottle of Mike’s Hard Lemonade on his walk from the front to the brightly lit pool in the back. He’s caught a couple of snatches of conversation between voices he thinks he recognizes and others he doesn’t, but everyone keeps their masks on. He doesn’t quite know what to do with himself, so he wanders.

He jumps when someone in a vibrant Mardi Gras mask places a hand on his shoulder, but he recognizes the high-pitched giggle that falls from the person’s lips and grins. “Yoooo, Lucas.”

“Mark! Oh my god, man. Where have you been all night?” Lucas leans down and peers into Mark’s cup and gasps when he sees that it’s empty. “Let me get that for you, dude. I think Johnny-hyung has the bottle opener.” 

And then he’s gone again, snatching up the bottle of hard lemonade and vanishing back into the house.

Mark watches the pool slosh against the cement. He’s never really been into drinking, doesn’t like the taste of most alcohol, prefers sweet things-- so the idea of getting drunk repulses him a little. What else can he do, though, when Taeyong and Lis are nowhere to be seen, Lucas is playing host, and all their other mutual friends are nowhere to be seen or heard?

Lucas returns within a couple of minutes with the bottle opener and a red Solo cup, tucking the bottle opener into the pocket of his jeans. “Here you go, dude. Did you bring a date?”

“Me?” Mark chuckles, taking a sip of the drink. The burn of alcohol is so discreet, that he forgets that there’s any in it when swallows. “No, I didn’t bring anyone. I came with Taeyong-hyung.”

“Ah, yeah. I saw Lis trying to dodge him earlier. Wonder what’s up with them?” Lucas crouches next to him and watches, grinning, as Mark takes another deep draught from his drink. “Heyyyy, thatta boy. You know, you should see if you can find a girl tonight.”

Mark grimaces. “I don’t--”

“Not like that, I mean,” Lucas amends himself with a flustered laugh, “I mean, like, someone nice to get to know better. Not just casual. There are a lot of single girls here, man.”

“Either way, dude…” Mark trails off, pouring the rest of his bottle into his cup. “You really think a good girl would come out to a party like this?”

“Oh, I know a couple.” Lucas takes the empty bottle and exchanges it for a little key on a lanyard. “Anyway, I know you don’t drink much, so when you’re done with that, there’s some juice and water in the fridge in my room upstairs.  You can chill up there, if you want.” “Thanks, dude.” Mark pockets the key and stands.

“You can give it back to me whenever, just don’t let anyone else up there.” Lucas sighs. “I don’t want to have to wash my sheets again.”

Mark pushes the key into the lock and opens the door to Lucas’s room. It’s like a breath of fresh air, quite literally; with the windows all up to clear the room from the fumes of weed and alcohol outside, it’s just cold enough to sober him up a little.

Not that he’s drunk. Who could get drunk off of something with only 5% alcohol?

Still, he feels a little tingle at the tip of his fingertips reminding him that it’s in his bloodstream, and he sits on the bed, processing his emotions and thoughts just a little slower than normal.

So when a girl comes tumbling into the room, and slams the door shut behind her and locks it, he doesn’t react immediately.

She turns around to see him sitting on the bed, and holds a finger to her lips. Her mask is one of the masks that only hides half her face; behind the matte white material, her eyes gleam, and her lips curl with silent laughter.

Footsteps clatter up the stairs, and someone bangs on the door, with slightly slurred speech, “Hey, open up!”

Another person speaks, in a loud whisper, “Dude, this is Lucas’s room. Let’s not.”

“That bitch-- she stole my phone!”

“You can afford another one, dude. I don’t wanna get on Lucas’s bad side.”

As if summoned by those words, Lucas’s voice booms out, loud and clear as day, “Hey! Man, the whole house is open, but not my room.”

The sober one titters nervously. “Yeah, I was just telling him.”

“Fine, I’m going,” the drunker one blubbers, and then Mark hears him stumble away, presumably back down the stairs, and back into the jubilation of the party.

A moment passes, and then a soft knock. “Mark, you in there?” Lucas calls.

Mark looks at the girl, who is sitting at Lucas’s desk in the corner of the room, checking out her reflection in a mirror on the top shelf. She senses his eyes on her, and shrugs without looking back at him. “...Yeah, I’m in here.”

Lucas peeks into the room, mask raised to his forehead. When he spots Mark, he raises his hand in greeting, but freezes when he sees the girl in the corner, sitting at his desk.

In response, the girl raises her left hand in a peace sign and says, “Hey, Xuxi. Lis told me to come up here if I wanted some peace and quiet.”

“Ah! Noona! I didn’t recognize you with that mask on.” Lucas gasps, and crosses the room to fist-bump her. “That dude said you stole his phone?”

“He was cheating on my friend,” she says coolly, raising said phone in her other hand. “You don’t mind if I just find the evidence and give it back, yeah?”

Lucas shakes his head, chuckling. “No problem.” He glances at Mark and grins. Mark almost bolts right there and then, because he knows the look on Lucas’s face, the devious glitter in his eye. “Do you know Mark Lee?”

The girl is swiping through the gallery of the stolen phone, but snorts and looks up when she hears the question. “Who doesn’t?”

“What does that mean?” Mark splutters. He studies her features, or at least, what little parts of her face he can see, but finds that he doesn’t recognize them at all, though he’s sure he knows her voice from somewhere. 

Someone stars hollering for Lucas downstairs, and he perks at the sound, peeking outside into the hallway. ““I gotta go, dudes,” he says, leaning back into the room, “I think someone’s getting a little too wild downstairs.”

She laughs softly. “Xuxi, you wanna lock the door? I can’t stand the fumes.”

“That’s one thing the two of you have in common.” Lucas starts to shut the door, then pauses when he sees Mark watching him with wide eyes. “She’s a good girl,” he mouths, and then he closes the door, and it locks with a loud click.

The room is mostly silent, except for the sounds of the party downstairs coming up muffled through the floor and the open window. The girl keeps her eyes glued to the phone in her hand, and she giggles to herself once in a while, but doesn’t look up at Mark at all.

Mark fiddles with his hands, unsure of what to say or do. All he knows is that he doesn’t want to drink any more, his ride is still downstairs, and the girl next to him is probably not going to leave any time soon. Plus, the mask on his face is making it real stuffy and hard to breathe.

After what feels like an eternity, she puts the stolen phone down, and leans back in her chair with a sigh. Then, she stands, and comes to sit on the bed, leaning back on the pillows, while he stays frozen at the foot.

“Wanna tell me why Mr. Bad Boy, Mark Lee, isn’t downstairs drinking with the worst of them?” she asks, patting the spot next to her. “Otherwise, we can just sit here in silence, and be awkward. Because I don’t have any battery on my phone, and I don’t want to look through this dude’s texts anymore.”

He stares at her. 

Without a word, she crawls up the bed, and lifts the mask from his face, laughing when she sees the surprise lighting up his face.

And in response, he reaches out, and tugs her mask off too.

They stare at each other, and fire burns across his face when he recognizes her, realizes why her voice is so familiar.

He’d never have expected to meet his middle school crush at this party.

[krayfishthetypelessblob]

i don't understand. what makes you relate to 5 and 1 core motivation / fear but not 6? if you or other people can see you act like a 6 then you probably have a bad understanding of their core fear due to bad descriptions or stereotypes that don't fit the true 6 core fear. also 6s can easily see themselves in the 5 motivation due to being head cores (and even more if they have a w5) and in the 1 fear because they're also duty / rule oriented due to being superego types

Oh yeah don’t get me wrong, I’m not questioning the 6 core, I’ve long since come to the conclusion that 6w5 is the correct core for me (outside of my most recent waffling down to 3w4 core, presumably because disintigration). My issue is more with my 9 fix, because 631 in combination made more sense to me in my mind despite being probably incorrect. Frankly, the fact that I relate to both 5 and 1 motivation probably brings me back to 5 because if you were to combine the superego nature of 1 with the more withdrawn and heady nature of 5, you’d get 6w5 in the end.  I’ve actually written about how 6 core fears aren’t properly defined, though I’m not sure where that post went.  I can see myself primarily in the 6s fear of lack of control  (and by extension security) and particularly have issue with the 6′s fear of lacking guidance, reassurance, or support (which I don’t relate to necessarily, or at least more than other types fears).  6 in general is poorly defined, and through the research I’ve done I’ve found ways to mitigate that description through talking with other 6s (that I can “verify” in my own terms at least) and have found ways to make sense of the 6 typing (and of course, have questioned the type nonetheless.  Ti 6 is a trashbag).  I can sort of relate to Candon’s stuff at least(the small excerpts I’ve read from him) because he’s a 6 probably.  It’s not as though 6 is the least relatable type (that would probably be 8 for me).

In terms of the fears I see most (consciously) in myself, what has motivated me most of my life is the fear of being mislead and biased, which is easier to relate to the 1 fear of being wrong and corrupted.  I go about that by an excessive amount of thinking about things (ie. morality, how things work, how things come together cohesively in a way that makes sense) and through research (which includes looking and probing at ideas external from me, which is where I’ve always argued the 6 takes over I think).  The latter I used to conflate with 5, alongside the underlying feeling of being helpless without “knowing and having an understanding of everything around me (which is more on the 5 end of things).  The whole disconnection thing made it difficult for me to really see 6 (even though it was one of the first things I typed myself, mostly out of self hatred which is why I initially discarded 6) because 6 is a type characterized by trying to connect themselves to something, which I don’t necessarily do unless you consider external knowledge systems that I use to compare to my own, which is what I’ve always argued brings me back to 6.  

Really where I think I conflate 6 and 1 most is really in just being a superego type and not soc blind.  At my worst, I stick very closely to certain virtues that I see as “correct” (ie. I was basically an ascetic most of my life because “pleasure was bad because pleasure lead to alignment and bias” as a random, very stupid example that I’ve only recently dropped) and of course my disdain of stasis and “just letting things go” (which I’m pretty sure is just 6 reactivity).  People have suggested the duty component a lot and like... I don’t even relate to the duty aspect all that much outside of like...  Being tied to my ambitions, which are probably the most self derived things I have.

Again with the long text post.  Sorry man, you ask for a simple question, you get a novella.  The biggest point is that the core fears, as they are written, are hypergeneralized, which make them incredibly easy to relate to for most types I think. Behavior wise, I’ve been told irl that I strongly look more like a 9 or 5, which again, averages out to 6 anyways in my mind (as does my alignment with 5 and 1 fears I’d think).  I think the first thing my (3w2) friend mentioned was that he was shocked I even typed as such and asked if I was conflating the 6 description with other things because it seemed “so off.”  The attachment types are poorly defined in most of the theory anyways and, being as adaptable as the attachment triad is, those types are a lot more likely to not relate to their core fixations/fears, at least to the degree of other types.  Also telling a person that they’re attached to something and that that’s what made their personality is like... Really hard to accept I imagine, at least I seem to have an issue with that even knowing that I have very little identifiable personality.

@asiaredgrave my laptop is 7 years old lol. My graphics card is the thing holding me back. From the sounds of it, the game is a lil but glitchy. So maybe by the time that’s ironed out I’ll have a new desktop......maybe....hopefully

[fanimeconfessions]

so I caught up to yaoi the fanime yesterday (I was made aware of it two years ago for a confession and didn’t watch past the first ep, idk I forgot to) and something i had been thinking for a while, but couldn’t really put into words somehow, became very clear and I felt the need to make this post.

maybe I’m wrong, but I feel like within the community itself there’s kind of a fear to be completely genuine? like there’s a worry about being too heartfelt, so you have to wrap your work in a layer of irony or bullshit or something. i feel like the popularity of things like nyan neko sugar girls might have promoted that idea, not to imply that they didn’t put time into it. that, and the existence of let’s watchers ragging on things made 12 years ago that may not have been great, but were completely genuine.

i feel like since the outsiders’ perspective of fanime is almost always nyan neko sugar girls, that the stuff that tends to get really popular are things that are coated in that irony. that things that you make when you’re being 100% sincere are the ones that are considered embarrassing, so we have to make wobbly ms paint characters when we would rather be doing something else because otherwise it’s going to get overlooked, or worse, it’s going to get blasted on some dude’s YouTube channel because we dared to tell a story in that medium.

yaoi the fanime helped me find the wording for this because I think it’s a good example. to start, I do like this fanime and dont mean anything here as a drag. it’s very obvious from the stock poses, character names (Pittsburgh, Cockslut, Literally The Dial Up Computer Noise), and all the voices being text to speech that this was meant to be presented in a jokey, ironic way. don’t take it too seriously. but then i actually start watching past the first episode, and though the situations are outlandish and comical, the subtleties really speak to me. they recognize the reality that a friend of theirs was killed, dial recounts fond memories of him, all the characters bond with the limo driver. right down to even smaller things like pittsburgh’s resistance to the word “monotonous” and an offhand guy fieri joke having substance in a later episode.

not to look into things too much, but I do often look into things too much. I feel like a lot of thought, a lot of care was put into this. there’s a story here that I’m genuinely invested in. these characters are more than just the names they’ve been given. and it really does make me wonder how differently this story would hit if the characters were drawn in a different style, if they had names besides Cockslut, and it wasn’t called “yaoi the fanime.”

it reminds me how often i feel that for my own fanime projects that I need to add in some layer of irony. I’ve said before that finishing your fanime surpasses making it look perfect, and I still stand by that. but I feel like whether we want to or mean to, we take it a step further and put in all of these other details to signal to viewers Hey, Don’t Take It Serious, It’s A Joke. I know I rag on nnsg a lot, but even that series, the one that arguably perpetuates this need to hide behind irony, has its own story. I feel like even the creator of that series wanted to do more, and it shows that by the end, there’s a significant jump in animation as tragedy unfolds.

I feel as though I’m circling around, but I feel like series like that, yaoi the fanime, and others use that irony to get you interested so that their genuine feelings come through. Series like Tokyo Magic Star (which started as a stealth parody) and Panties Warfront (premise alone) ended up shedding their irony to be serious, to be genuine with you and me, the viewers. I look up to them a lot for it. But I don’t fault the people who have to use that irony out of fear of judgment, or to just get people to even watch their series in the first place, because I fall under that category too (see: Trashbag Cupid)

I’m not sure I had a point here, or if people even agree with me, because I might be looking into it too much. But I wish it didn’t have to be this way, is all.

A/N: Almost a month later, here’s chapter 5! So sorry for the delay. I hope you enjoy it! <3 Shoutout to @creativenostalgiastuff for her help as always. Edited by yours truly so all mistakes are mine.

Tags: @captain-loki-xavier, @human-dictionary, @the-peculiar-bi-tch, @mining-pup, @band-be-boss-blog, @asexual-trashbag, @samathekittycat, @why-should-i-tell-youu2, @theobsessor1, @always3charcoaltea, @changeling-ash, @logical-princey, @crimsonshadow323, @flickering-raven, @smokeyrutilequartz, @dontbugmeimantisocial, @liz-a-bell, @black-king-white-knight, @soijusthavetoask, @analogical-mess, @marvelfangeek09, @vigilantvirgil, @princelogical

Sorry for the delay, everyone! Thomas types out for Twitter, a couple days later. Wasn’t feeling great but we’re back at it! New CT coming to you soon!

He pauses, then looks up at Joan across from him, sitting on a chair in Picani’s office. “Hey, what if we did a livestream tomorrow?”

He still feels bad for having gone MIA for a week. Or, as MIA as Thomas ever really went. He’d texted Joan, Camden, and Talyn basically every day to tell them he still wasn’t feeling his best. It wasn’t… a total lie, he’d told himself despite the guilt that sat uncomfortably in his stomach. It definitely hadn’t helped that he’d consequentially been postponing finishing up the filming of Cartoon Therapy due to his absence. It had been a couple of weeks now without any video to post on either channel.

Joan looks up from laptop poised across their lap. “Uh, I can do that. As long as it ends before 6, ‘cause my piano lesson starts at 6:30.”

Thomas smiles. “Perfect. I just feel bad for making them wait, y’know?” To make up for it, he adds to the tweet, we’ll be having a Livestream tomorrow at 4! Open to everyone, not just members. Hope to see you all there!

“You can’t help that you got sick,” Joan replies as Thomas sends the tweet out. “They understand.”

“Yeah, but… y’know.” Thomas lifts a shoulder. “I just wanna do something for them.”

“It’s cool, man,” Joan replies. “I think it’s a good idea. And it’ll give us a nice break from the editing and shit.”

“Speaking of—” Thomas grabs the pen and journal prompts from the bookcase behind him—"how’s Camden handling his part of things? I haven’t talked to him about the vid in a while.”

“I think he’s almost done,” Joan replies. “We just gotta finish the last of Picani and we should have the rest of the footage he needs to finish his section.”

Thomas nods and adjusts the knot in the pastel green tie around his neck. It had seemed like every time they’d tried to film the rest of Picani, something got in the way. Thomas loved acting and he loved the filming stage of videos, but a small part of him just wanted to be done with it. The sooner he could be done filming, the sooner he could focus on… more pressing issues.

“Then let’s finish Picani,” Thomas says lightly. “We’ve just got the last scene with Valerie’s character, right?”

Joan nods. “Yep. Shouldn’t take long at all.”

“Awesome.” Thomas glances in the viewfinder and pushes the bangs that were falling into his eyes out of the way. “Ready when you are.”

Joan hits record on the camera, then looks down at their script. “I have to be the adult, y’know?”

Thomas taps his pen against his mouth, looking carefully at Valerie’s sightline. “You know, Elena… Danny’s older sister feels that way for much of the show, too.”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, Jazz is only a couple of years older than Danny. But she often feels like she has to be the adult in the family because she sees her parents as a bit… immature.” Thomas leans forward slightly. “So she acts way older than she really is. But that mentality ends up backfiring on her when she takes it a little too far.”

“Too far?”

Thomas places his pen on top of his journal in his lap. “In Season 2 Epsiode 7, Danny has to fight a ghost that can only be seen by kids while he’s on vacation with his family. Since Jazz acts and thinks of herself as an adult even though she’s only 16, she can’t see the ghost and starts to think—along with her parents—that Danny is going crazy.” Thomas pauses, remembering that they’d wanted to cut in with a video clip there. Then he continues. “Though her concern is well-intentioned, it leads her to trapping Danny and the ghost goes after their parents. It’s not until Danny is able to get Jazz to act like a kid again that she’s able to see the ghost, and ultimately help to save her family.”

Joan rolls their eyes to keep in character as they read Valerie’s lines. “Fine, but my family’s not under attack by ghosts.”

Thomas sighs. “You’re right. But the point is that Jazz thought acting like an adult was helping the people around her, when it really wasn’t. When she actually started acting her age was when she was able to be the most help—especially to her little brother, who was the whole reason she’d been acting so much older in the first place.”

“Huh…”

“From that point on,” Thomas continues, “Jazz tries to find a balance. She’s a mature person, and nobody was asking her to change that. But she also comes to understand the importance of still being a kid. She learns how to balance the two in a way that doesn’t ask her to sacrifice any part of who she is.”

Joan pauses. “I… guess I could try that. Maria isn’t a little kid anymore, even though I still think of her as my baby sister.”

Thomas gives a small, encouraging smile. “It’ll take some time. Learning balance is not as easy as flipping a switch. But it’s something we can continue to work on. It might even help your relationship with your sister in ways you don’t expect.”

Joan gives a single nod. “I’d like that.”

“Great!” Thomas grins. “So I’ll see you next week?”

“Definitely. And… thanks, Dr. Picani.”

“Any time, Elena.”

…

“We can tell them. Should we tell them? We can tell them. I think. Wait…”

Thomas laughs as Joan stumbles through their thoughts about half an hour in to the livestream. He laughs even harder when he sees the chat blowing up with people asking Joan to just say it already. They’d decided to go back to Thomas’s apartment for the livestream, if only for sake of tradition. Not every livestream had been from this location, but Thomas wanted some of the normalcy back. And Joan, though they’d seemed puzzled, didn’t appear to mind.

“I’m good to tell them who it is,” Thomas says.

“Wait, who as in the…” Joan arches an eyebrow. “Or…” They tilt their head. Perhaps strangely enough, Thomas knows exactly what they’re asking.

He laughs again. “Real name, not the character name.”

“Yeah, okay. That’s what I was thinking.” Thomas and Joan both look back at the camera.

“It’s Valerie,” Thomas says. “The new character we’re introducing is played by my friend, Valerie. Some of you probably know her, since she’s been in… a good number of our videos. We got really lucky that the schedules worked out, since she’s auditioning in Orlando at the moment.”

“Yeah, she’s actually been in a lot,” Joan says. They start counting on their fingers. “Reasons to Smile.”

“On the Spot in the Spotlight,” Thomas supplies. “Which we’re still planning on bringing back.”

“The first Tongue Twisted.” Joan snaps their fingers and points at him. “She’s been in a few of your shorts videos, too.”

“I feel like we’re missing something.” Thomas glances at the chat and smiles at the people shouting SANDERS SIDES in all caps. “That’s right! Goodness gracious, she was in two of the Sanders Sides videos.” He shakes his head. “Sorry, guys. Guess I’m still a little out of it.”

He manages a small, apologetic smile. But a moment later, there’s a flood of messages in the chat telling him not to worry, asking if he’s feeling better, reminding him to rest and drink water… he feels a sharp twist of guilt. He tries not to linger on it.

“Let’s see… other questions….” He watches the chat closely, the knot in his stomach loosening slightly as the messages filter from well wishes to questions again. One of them makes him frown. “Someone’s asking if I’ve seen the Ekko videos?” He glances over his shoulder towards Joan. “I haven’t. Is that a new thing? I don’t know if I’ve heard of them.”

Joan looks suddenly uncomfortable. They shrug, but its awkward and forced. “Yeah. It was all anyone was talking about a couple days ago.”

Thomas hadn’t been checking social media over the past week. A part of him felt relieved that they’d at least moved on from trying to identify who “Spider-Man” was. “What are they?”

Joan gives him a quick look. “I’ll… tell you after the livestream.” Thomas couldn’t quite read their expression, but there was a warning look in their eyes that made him nod his agreement. Whatever it was, Joan didn’t want to talk about it with an audience. They wanted to change the subject.

At Thomas’s nod, Joan leans forward to read the scrolling chat feed until they find a different question. Thomas glances at the screen as well, and sees a few questions with “Spider-Man” in them—they go too fast for him to identify what exactly they’re asking—and feels himself tense. Joan doesn’t seem to even notice the questions.

“Here’s one,” they say after a brief pause. “Thomas, if you could be any kitchen appliance, what would you be?”

As the livestream continues, Thomas finds himself falling into old, comforting habits. He’d always had fun doing livestreams, especially ones with Joan. He appreciated their ability to be thoughtful and intellectual one moment and crack a joke that would make Thomas’s stomach hurt from laughing the next. A part of him feels like he appreciates it now more than ever. Joan is his best friend, and he can tell them anything.

Well… almost.

The idea of telling them about the recent… abilities Thomas had come to acquire made his stomach squirm and his heartbeat quicken. He couldn’t quite explain why. Joan would probably be skeptical—even Thomas hadn’t believed it at first—but the powers were something he could prove, a voice that sounded an awful lot like Logan reminded him. He’d been proving his abilities to himself all week, after all. Maybe he knew there was a chance that Joan would freak out and never talk to him again. They wouldn’t do that. The thought sounds like Patton.

Even so, something whispers safer to not tell them in the back of his mind, and Thomas can’t help but believe it.

“I gotta go soon,” Joan says. They look at Thomas. “Should we end with Mind Meld or something?”

Thomas pushes his bangs out of his eyes. He smiles. “Yeah, let’s do it.” Thomas pauses, thinking of his first word. “Okay. Ready?”

“Yeah.”

“3. 2. 1. Giant,” Thomas chimes at the same time that Joan says, “Apple.”

Thomas laughs. “Giant and apple?” He makes a face. “I don’t even know where to go with that.”

Joan grins in amusement, then thinks. “Okay. I think I have one. Super and apple.”

Thomas stares at them in uncertainty before he gets an idea. “Okay. I do too. It’s kinda weird, though.”

“3. 2. 1. Honeycrisp,” Joan says at the same time Thomas spits out, “New York.”

“I was thinking like, a giant apple. New York?” Joan laughs. It makes Thomas laugh too.

“I was thinking like, ‘giant as in ‘big’ and then—”

“And then you went to Big Apple,” Joan finishes. “Okay. I kind of get that. Honeycrisp and New York. Uh.”

Thomas’s eyes widen as he frantically tries to think of some sort of connection before one occurs to him. “Okay! I think I got one. It’s… broad-ish?”

“Broadish?” Joan starts laughing again. “That’s very helpful.”

“Okay, like,” Thomas waves a hand. “Kinda broad.”

Joan furrows their brow before shrugging. “What the heck. 3. 2. 1.”

Thomas says ‘vendor’ and Joan says ‘food’. It takes another round before they both eventually end up saying ‘restaurant’. Thomas grins when they finally get there. He looks back at the camera.

“Took us a minute but we got there! Thanks for sticking around, guys. This was a lot of fun. Super glad we had the chance to do this.” He glances at the chat, laughing at all the reactions of people playing along. In the midst of the messages—some of them now transitioning to sweet goodbyes—he sees one that catches his eye.

oof after that ekko vid I could use a new reasons to smile

Something uncomfortable sits in Thomas’s chest, but he flashes a quick smile at the camera. “Love you all! Bye!”

He stops the livestream and closes his laptop. Joan sits back in their chair, the spark of amusement from the game of mind meld fades out of their eyes. He’s reminded suddenly of the solemn, uncomfortable look Joan had given him when he’d asked during the livestream about whatever the ‘Ekko video’ was about.

“I saw that message. I know what you’re thinking,” Joan chimes in quietly after a moment. “It’s… not something you really wanna watch, dude. Trust me.”

“Why?”

Joan sighs and reaches for their water bottle. “It’s just… this thing that freaked everyone out. I don’t know how to explain it, but Talyn had nightmares after they watched it.” They take a drink. “I think it’s just someone trying to get some attention. The best thing to do is probably not to give it to them, y’know?”

Thomas nods absently as Joan pushes back from the table and heads towards the kitchen. Talyn didn’t really spook easily. They played horror games for fun in the dark alone. Thomas had never really been that kind of person. But he can’t deny that he’s curious. A part of him does want to know, if only out of a morbid kind of curiosity of what could have that kind of impact on his friends. Even though Joan had talked about Talyn’s reaction, it was clear to Thomas that it had bothered them too.

Dishes clatter in the sink as Joan sets the water bottle they’d borrowed from Thomas amongst the plates and bowls that Thomas hadn’t gotten around to cleaning yet. Neither of them said anything, letting the whir of the AC unit fill the uncomfortable silence between them. Something about it had gotten under Joan’s skin. Something they weren’t telling Thomas.

Thomas opens his mouth to ask them about it when Joan interrupts him suddenly. “I don’t know, man. It was weird and it felt like a warning of some sort. Maybe that’s why Talyn and I both felt a little paranoid after we watched it.” Their dark eyes flicker up to Thomas as they turn from the sink to look at him through the cut out opening above the counter into the living room. “I just don’t really want to dwell on it.”

Thomas caves and nods. “Okay.”

“But if you want to do another Reasons to Smile, that might be fun. A few people in the chat were suggesting it. Maybe that’d be a good idea.” They cross back into the living room and grabs their jacket from the back of the chair.

“Sure,” Thomas says, still a little lost in his thoughts. What could be so bad about that video? “Yeah, I’ll reach out to Camden and the team and whoever is in town to see if they might wanna join in. Maybe I can get Lee or Mary Lee to join this time.”

“Cool.” Joan stops after they’ve pulled their jacket on. Thomas can feel their gaze on him. “You okay?”

Thomas blinks and shakes his head to clear it. “Yeah. Just worried,” he says honestly. He offers a faint smile. “You and Talyn don’t usually get freaked out easily.”

Joan gives him a look. “We have anxiety,” they deadpan teasingly. Thomas huffs a laugh, even though it does little to expel the tightness in his chest. Joan sighs softly. “Really, Thomas. We’re okay.”

Thomas nods again. “Okay.”

“I gotta run,” Joan says, sounding faintly apologetic. “I’m gonna be late for my lesson.”

Thomas gives them a smile that he hopes is reassuring. “Go. Love you.”

“Love you too.” Joan closes the door behind them.

…

Thomas slips his phone into the back pocket of his jeans and cranes his neck up towards the night sky. It’s  little late to be posting the Sunday Shout-Out video, but he liked the nighttime. The parking lot is empty except for his car, and even though he knows he ought to just go home given the hour, a part of him wants to stay out just a little longer.

Thomas sighs and jumps up on the trunk of his car and sits. He fold his hands behind his head and leans back against the windshield, looking up at the stars. Most of them are drowned out by the streetlights that illuminate the lot, but Thomas doesn’t mind. A cool breeze plays with the ends of his hair. It’s calming.

Thomas sighs and closes his eyes.

“I really ought to insist that you go home before too much longer, Thomas.”

The internet personality smiles faintly at the sound of his Logical Side’s voice. He cracks an eye open to find Logan standing beside the car, his arms crossed over his chest and an eyebrow cocked. Thomas’s lips curl up in a faint smile.

“I know, Logan.”

“If you know, then why do you appear to be falling asleep in the middle of an abandoned parking lot?”

Thomas sits up. “I wasn’t falling asleep.”

Logan hums, seemingly unconvinced. “All the same. Optimal rest is necessary for you to maintain a healthy lifestyle.”

“I know.” Thomas shakes his head a little, still smiling, and leans back again. “But this is nice.”

“This?” Thomas can hear the skepticism and confusion in Logan’s voice and tries not to laugh.

“Yes,” Thomas replies. He shifts over. “Take a seat. Try it out for yourself.”

There’s a brief pause, and Thomas isn’t sure whether or not Logan is going to take him up on the offer. Then Logan climbs up on the car, mirroring Thomas’s position beside him except for the folding his hands across his stomach rather than behind his head. Thomas smiles again. He’s a little surprised, although he supposes he shouldn’t be. Logan was the part of him that sought to learn, after all. And if Logan didn’t understand the appeal of something, he could usually be convinced to try it at least once.

“See?” Thomas says after a moment. “It’s nice.”

Logan doesn’t reply right away. “Perhaps.”

“The whole day was kind of nice, actually,” Thomas continues. He lets his eyes drift closed again. “It felt… normal.”

“Normal is a widely subjective term, Thomas.”

“Normal for me, I mean.” He takes in a deep breath of the night air. “Filming, livestreaming, hanging out with Joan. I think maybe I needed that. I needed a day to just be… normal again. Maybe not everything has to change, y’know?”

Logan doesn’t say anything. Thomas feels him shift beside him and he cracks an eye open. Logan is looking up at the sky. The streetlights reflect off the lens of his glasses. A short gust of wind tugs at the end of his stiped tie. There’s something in his expression that Thomas can’t quite read.

He doesn’t dwell on it. Thomas follows Logan’s gaze back up to the sky. “Do you remember,” Thomas asks, “when I was like, seven and wanted to be an astronaut?”

“Yes,” Logan replies. “I do remember that. It was an aspiration that lasted for nearly a full year.”

Thomas glances over at him. “Do you wish I still wanted that?”

Logan adjusts the frame of his glasses before folding his hands across his stomach again. “I don’t believe it’s that simple. I was more than content at your chosen field, Thomas, short-lived as your use of it may have been.”

“You’re talking about chemical engineering.”

“Indeed.” Logan is still looking up at the sky above them. “Although, such fields of study have many unexpected benefits. Perhaps it will prove useful yet.”

The corner of Thomas’s lips curls up in a faint smile. “Perhaps,” he says, echoing Logan from a moment ago. A comfortable silence settles between them. For all the times that Logan and Thomas had been at odds with each other, he’d never doubted that Logan was doing his best to look out for him, just like all of them always did. Most of the time, Thomas found Logan’s company a quiet kind of grounding. Calming. Tonight was no exception to that.

Thomas listens to the crickets and sound of distant car tires rolling on pavement for a long moment. His eyes drift shut again.

“You are getting tired,” Logan says softly, moments before Thomas was about to fall asleep. “I really must insist that you go home to ensure your safety.”

Thomas blinks his eyes open and sits up. He scrubs a hand across his eyes, bangs falling across his face in the process, and smiles tiredly at Logan as the Logical Side sits up beside him.

“You got it, Logan.” He pauses, the smile a little. “And… thanks.”
