so are we ever gonna talk about the fact that lana probably feels immensely guilty for, like, literally drakes entire existence ? she very likely feels inherently responsible for him getting his whip and uses that to blame herself for every person he’s hurt w said whip, namely sam :( someone help my baby girl relax she has too much stress she deserves a break

my book annotations : book 1 edition - gone

hi there ! so today is my birthday, yippee ! but to celebrate i thought id post that list of my book annotations (aka me making jokes at things i find funny) that i promised yall, so without further ado enjoy laughing at the thoughts i had while reading :D

“if there’s a guard there, i’ll kiss him,” quinn said : quinn being gay part 1 (gone, page 106)

“man, you really need to step off,” quinn said. “i don’t take orders from you.” “no, you take them from caine,” sam said. - quinn being gay part 2 (gone, page 214)

“you’re not supposed to wear street shoes on the gym floor,” sam said. - sam quips part 1 (gone, page 246)

“let me guess, you’re secretly a wizard who was raised by muggles.” - sam quips 2 (gone, page 246)

“one bar, two bars, three bars. you know what i am?” “crazy?” - sam quips part 3 (gone, page 247)

“you could get work with the circus,” sam said brightly. - sam quips part 4 (gone, page 247)

“look, caine, my hands are tied, you’ve got five of your thugs standing around me with baseball bats, and i’m supposed to be terrified because you can do magic tricks?” - sassy man apocalypse (gone, page 247)

drake looked like he’d rather take a shot at diana. his narrow lizard eyes narrowed further. - his narrow lizard eyes ??? (gone, page 256)

sam released the wheel, spun and landed a hard left hook into quinn’s face. quinn sat down hard again. - HAHAHAHA (gone, page 271)

quinn said, “it’s weezer. me and sam saw them down in santa barbara.” - NOT WEEZER LMAO (gone, page 339)

drake could not leave the gun alone. he kept thumbing the safety on and off. he rolled down the window, and aimed it stop signs as they passed, but did not fire it. - what is wrong with him part 1 (gone, page 354)

“why do you keep saying hawaii, man?” edilio had asked him. “if he freaks and decides to take us on a little pete magical mystery tour, i want it to be hawaii, not back at astrid’s house.” edilio thought that over for awhile. “i’m down with that. hawaii, l.p., hawaii.” - solid vacation spot quinn (gone, page 362)

“why don’t you give drake a little scratch behind the ears, caine. he’s been such a good dog,” diana said. - i knew this was canon (gone, page 406)

caine was quick. he backed away, turned and ran for the building. diana seemed torn, uncertain; then she bolted after caine. - run forrest, run! (gone, page 407)

if caine had been a normal, well-adjusted person, he might spend his last days preparing for what the poof meant. - gag him again for me sam (gone, page 426)

i’ll be sure to post the other parts fairly soon, i promise they’re much funnier 🫡 most of the bookmarks for this book were important events and general characterisation as it’s the introduction to everything but after that’s out of the way shit gets way funnier

gone headcanons that have popped into my unhinged little brain, part 7

hey there buckos i just realised the last time i did a hcs post was three months ago and we were well and truly due for a new one so here’s an extra detailed one for yall <3

i heavily dislike the way lana’s powers work so im deciding all she really does is speed up the healing process. if something was going to scar if it healed naturally then it scars when she heals it. she can’t heal scars.

on this note, bc i’m an absolute sadist and enjoy tormenting my children, i don’t think there were enough physical disabilities that came out of the fayz due to lana just healing everything. the only one really was like,,, drake losing his arm and that’s not enough for me. that shit was a war zone and they only have the mental scars to reflect it rather than the physical. heaps of kids just straight up died but if they have a healer then why was there no middle ground ? what happened when someone gets injured and lana’s not around to fix it ? bc of this several kids ended up losing limbs bc i said so.

also on this note, some main characters that i’ve decided have major scars : sam kept all the scars from drakes whip, getting shot in the knee, getting chained by gaia etc. astrid has a ringed scar on her neck from the rope in hunger. diana has a gouged scar on her head from drake. caine is covered in burn marks from the thanksgiving battle and all the times he’s fought sam. also has scars on his forehead and hands from penny. all the cemented coates kids have scars on their hands too. some of them go as far as having minor nerve damage in their hands. edilio lost a finger and frederico (who disappears after the first book bc i’m pretending he didn’t) lost an eye. dekka has a huge scar on her shoulder from where the greenies got her and jack had scars from where drake got him in fear. if brianna had survived, im deciding she would have had burn marks on her face and would have lost a leg. it makes more sense to me for gaia to keep her alive to retain her power but make sure brianna can’t use is anymore.

drake has brown eyes. like so brown that if the light doesn’t hit them they just look black. i think it makes him much more menacing (i commissioned a friend some gone art and they suggested brown eyes and i’ve never been so sold on something so quick)

before the fayz, mary liked to knit.

sam is allergic to tomatoes. this has no lore implications i just think it’s funny.

diana listens to emo music. think early 2000’s p!atd, fall out boy, pierce the veil, falling in reverse, mcr, bring me the horizon, etc. she hides it bc, well, it’s 2008 and emo’s got bullied so heavily in the 2000’s it’s not funny 😭

a lot of people think drake and caine were roommates at coates but personally, i don’t think drake had a roommate. i don’t think they’d let him lol. i like the idea of frederico being caines roommate

sam taught quinn to surf. sam always gave me more surfer vibes than quinn as quinn always felt more “weird exuberant guy most people avoid” yk so sam teaching him to surf after they become friends is really cute

[dianaladrislovebot]

and what if i suggest diana being a secret emo. what if i say she listens to early 2000’s p!atd and my chemical romance and paramore and fall out boy and pierce the veil and bring me the horizon. what then.

[dianaladrislovebot]

i’m several days late now but this is the only ttpd post i can muster as i am still heartbroken

[dianaladrislovebot]

when do you think is Hunter's birthday ? :0

i actually had this written down somewhere and i have no clue where it’s gone !!! i’m devastated ☹️ although, i do remember it saying he’s 15 in hunger (which is likely set late february-early march due to it being three months after the events of gone, which is november) so id say somewhere around late january-early february ? i’ll have to either find my notes or just fashion him a new one bc my baby deserves it 🤞🏻

[dianaladrislovebot]

why can’t i stop thinking about a fem version of quinn. why is it crippling any other thought i’ve had in the last month. save me fisherwoman save me

[dianaladrislovebot]

guess what time it is besties ….

let me know if there’s any characters i missed or the ones here you agree w, i’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts headcanons and opinions <3

[dianaladrislovebot]

and what if i said “you know how much i hate that everybody just expects me to bounce back, just like that” (sam), “cos they see right through me” (lana), “always an angel, never a god” (edilio) ☹️

[dianaladrislovebot]

sitting here desperately trying to figure out who the big three of gone is and my brain is flicking between “sam, dekka and brianna” and “caine, drake and diana” before realising realistically, it’s actually albert, quinn and lana 😭 without them, everyone would have either starved to death or bled out

[dianaladrislovebot]

i feel like caine could successfully be a lawyer. he’s incredibly charming and persuasive to the point it annoys me sometimes. i feel like he could talk someone out of prison

[dianaladrislovebot]

so ! drakes birthday is in a few days (friday to be exact) and i’m wondering if yall would prefer the list of birthdays i’ve conjured up for all the characters or the list of my commentation on the books (of which will actually be several posts bc there’s one for each book),,, the choice is yours you have three days

[dianaladrislovebot]

so i’ve always been confused, is caine at coates bc of his whole “my parents don’t love me” schtick or is it bc of that whole other diana weed situation ? bc i can’t remember if it was ever confirmed or even hinted at which was the canon reason, or if caine is just super dramatic (this is true either way)

[dianaladrislovebot]

so has anyone talked about what would have happened if it was sam and astrid’s evil alien murder baby instead of caine and diana’s. has anyone considered this. bc i have. on multiple occasions.

[dianaladrislovebot]

sometimes i mourn the fact that lana was probably an insanely different person before the fayz bc the gaiaphage effectively broke her :(

[dianaladrislovebot]

astrid: ugh, this guy has been bothering me

sam, craving violence: kill him

astrid:

sam, softer: i kill him for you ?

astrid: i- no
