um, hi!
I've been looking into veganism since I was... 10? younger?
and I just wanna talk about my experiences you don't need to add and advice or anything. it's just my experiences, and it's annoying and I don't want to be so ashamed for feeling normal emotions you know?
TW animal abuse, animal death, and other animal cruelty's! I was on the internet in the late 2000s! it was not a nice time to be a child!
okay, since I was little i've seen very very graphic animal death. (which is one of the main reasons I want to be vegan.)
because theres only just so much a small little kid can take of seeing bloodied and gored pets and fish and farm animals before it starts to seep into your nightmares yk!
when I was little. like really little, (to the I was 10-12) I had some BIG food restrictions due to being really really allergic to eggs and dairy and other stuff. but eggs and dairy were big ones, so I've been eating vegan food and also meat all my life which is weird to say the least.
so anyway, I was first introduced to veganism when I was young, but I didn't know the core values of it until MUCH later when I was older.
my first introduction to the ethics side of veganism was peta (I hate peta, I think we all hate them. I can't excuse their fear campaign against autism being autistic myself.)
and through them I learned the horrors of the meat, dairy, egg, leather, fur, and fishing industry.
and I've hated eating meat ever since, and wanted to stop all the suffering and be vegan. but my parents are really against veganism and it SUCKS! :(
but I've always wanted to be vegan for the fish, and the sea creatures which everyone kinda always forgets about. because when I was little I had a fish tank, and the thought of eating fish made me wanna vomit! because it was so morally wrong to 7yr old me.
so, I tried my best. I didn't eat fish for so long and I tried not to eat red meat or anything but when it's either meat or starve and your like 5-8 you take what you can get.
but over the years I lost my way mainly due to life problems, being emotionally and verbally abused since I was tiny, other traumatic event's I don't wanna delve into! !!!
I am not one person in my head. which sucks because they don't think eating meat is bad or unethical, while I'm just having the worst time of my life. to be fair we didn't all know the other existed and we thought we were going CRAZY like it was not a good mental health year for 2019/2021 but now we are talking more and we are not fighting as bad and we are making plans to accommodate all of our conflicting interests at times!
so, how do you live as vegan as possible or live as ethical to animals as possible while the rest of the people in your head struggle to do so due to health reasons and just because they don't hate meat?
because man I tell you! it's NOT fun! but I get by, even though I may be a hypocrite to a lot of vegans. I can't change my head mates minds on this stuff, but at least we have agreed to let me make my own vegan meals in the future and we have a strained agreement to let me have 3 vegan meals a week. which I want it to be more but when your thrown scraps you take it yk?
so, I try my best to educate people on abusive business practices and animal care. and I share as much stuff as I can, but I still feel so awful because I can't be vegan YET hopefully idk.
but I will get there! and when I do I will be so happy.
that's all really, sorry if it's been really topic to topic and hard to follow it's just my writing style.
-your friendly catgirl alter who desperately wants to be vegan
ily!
I can’t speak on your specific mental health issues or anything since I know so little about this, all I can really advise is the same thing I tell anyone whose circumstances mean that they’re not always in control of their own decisions.
When a decision is in your control, you should be choosing the vegan option, whether it’s food, clothes, cosmetics or entertainment. If there are circumstance where you generally have no choice, then you can’t really do anything about that. You can only be held responsible for choices that you freely chose, under your own compulsion.
Seek out the support you need in the meantime if you haven’t already, but while you work on these issues you can only do your best, and you really shouldn’t beat yourself up about that, since doing so will be counterproductive. Focus on your mental health and use the fact that you’re looking forward to eating completely plant-based in future as inspiration for your mental health journey. Best of luck to you anon!

My g we're mutuals and I love that for us but pls tell me what this groovy sans skeleton is he's all over my dash and I support u but I have no fucking clue what he is
Sorry about that lmao. I got dragged backed into undertale and went a little crazy with Fresh!Sans. Fresh is an Undertale AU character created by @loverofpiggies - which was initially inspired by “Dippy Fresh” from Gravity Falls, but now they’ve officially become a separate character for loverofpiggies’ upcoming webcomic.
I’m probably not gonna go on another reblog spree again any time soon with Fresh, but if you want me to tag it let me know.
Some info relating to Fresh!Sans (as they relate to the Undertale fandom) under the cut.
Feel free to skip or skim the text below, I just had a lot to say about one of my favorite characters.
At first glance, Fresh!Sans is just another Alternate Universe Sans, albeit a complete opposite to the more numerous “edgy” and “angsty” AUs/headcanons that were popular when the Undertale Fandom was in the spotlight. Basically their whole deal is a “radical” skeleton that talks and dresses like they were imbued with condensed 90′s pop culture essence. “Radical”, “Broski”, and other 90s - 2000s slang is a staple of Fresh’s character, as well as eye-searing clothing and rainbow powers.
They hate swearing or any kind of bad things, like drugs or alcohol. I’ve heard many people say that they are like a walking PSA, the kind with bad acting that you were forced to watch in school. One of Fresh’s powers is that whenever they are around, people’s swearing is censored. For example, “What the fuck!” would become “What the funk!”, usually with the swearer pissed they got censored.
Now onto the cool part. Fresh isn’t actually a Sans in the conventional sense. They’re a souless (literally) parasite that takes over a host and uses the soul as food, while completely overriding the host’s control of their body. Fresh has to keep swapping hosts as they will die without one, yet possessing someone can damage the host’s soul. There are some cool fanfics that explore this dilema.
They also are unable to feel any emotions. Yep, that’s right. Literally, the coolest dude ever is a soul-eating parasite without feelings. The only feelings they are physically capable of is fear and (i think) pain. Essentially, they are an eldritch horror who is mortal and absolutely terrified of dying, but can also do a sick kick-flip and teleport between universes. This leads to a lot of hijinks, especially in fan comics/art/fiction.
I’m sure I’ve missed a ton, but I wasn’t planning on writing an essay about Fresh lol. A lot of his character is centered around the whole Undertale AU Multiverse/Outcode characters, and explaining that is in an of itself multiple essays. There also isn’t a lot of concrete canon from Fresh’s creator. Just the basic: Fresh is a parasite that feeds on souls, cannot feel emotions except fear, and is OP af.
TLDR : Fresh is a parasitic entity possessing a Sans to feed on his soul. A lot of his character is based around 90′s pop culture, being “PC”, and teleporting around AUs/the Undertale Multiverse as the most chaotic being ever. Just a cool lil dude.

To All Of Us, From 2000 Years Ago
I got so mad about 139 and the leaks that I banged out my own 3000+ word ending to the manga today. Please keep in mind that this is a non-shipping story. Although I’ve exclusively written Rivamika before, this is not a Rivamika story, and although there’s an Eren/Mikasa scene at the beginning. there is no relationship between them, only the implication of feelings that are not quite reciprocated. I also threw some Levi fan service in there because why the hell not?
CW: There are references to and non-detailed descriptions of rape in this story.
You can also read this on AO3!
"You know what you have to do," Eren says. Mikasa pretends not to hear him over the rush of the little creek they're sitting by so he says it again, louder.
"I know," she sighs. "Even now, knowing that you've done something so unforgivable, a part of me doesn't want to."
"You're a good person, Mikasa. You'll be even better without me."
She snorts a laugh. "I've killed people, too. Just not as many as you did."
"You always had the weirdest sense of humor." Eren puts an arm around her, presses a kiss to her cheek. "I'm going to miss it." That's what finally brings him to tears, the thought of not seeing Mikasa again. Or Armin. Or Connie, or Jean, or Captain Levi, even the rest of them. He's had plenty of time to accept that he'd die at nineteen, was always going to die at nineteen, but now that the moment has arrived he wants to hold on just a bit longer.
Mikasa doesn't cry, at least not the way he expects her to. Tears stream down her face but she doesn't sniffle, doesn't sob, doesn't rage or scream the way she’s done in the past. He sees them both, Mikasa the girl and Mikasa the soldier, perfectly coexisting in the inky blackness of her eyes. She has made her decision. She made it before she even stepped into the mouth of the Titan.
"Kiss me one last time," Eren weeps. "Please."
"Okay," she nods, cupping his face with one hand and leaning in close. "See you later, Eren."
When Mikasa pulls away from his lips, the deed is already done. His severed head feels sickeningly heavy in her blood-stained hands. His eyes gaze beyond her, beyond the veil of this world, clouded with the knowledge of the void. The Titan around her begins to disintegrate in plumes of white steam. Mikasa swears she can smell wildflowers.
"Mikasa Ackerman," a girl's voice echoes. Mikasa whips her head around, looking for the source of the sound. Someone seems to materialize from the steam, swirling eddies of smoke coalescing in the form of a small girl, scraggly blond hair falling into her eyes, barefoot in a dirty white dress. Her face is blank, her eyes downcast.
"Ymir," Mikasa says, the name forming in her mouth before she can think of it.
Ymir nods, then points to Eren's head. "You loved him. Why did you kill him?"
"I had to."
"Why?"
"Because some things are more important than my love." Ymir stares blankly, seemingly confused. "The millions of people who died are more important. The world is more important. Besides, what kind of person would I be to stand beside someone who could slaughter so many people so senselessly?"
"You… don't love him?" The little girl blinks quickly, white lids snapping over black eyes. Something about it seems inhuman, wrong somehow. Mikasa cannot help but think of insects.
A tear falls from her face and lands on Eren’s, snaking a trail down his cheek as though he'd shed it himself. "I can never forget what he did and I don't know if I'll ever be able to forgive him for it, but I'll always love Eren."
"You wouldn't die for him?"
Mikasa answers without hesitation. "Never."
Ymir's gaze snaps up to Mikasa's, and she feels sick from what she sees in the girl's odd, dark eyes: a hunger, almost starvation, for the scraps of affection Karl Fritz would throw at her; a longing to be treated well, to be fussed over and doted on and adored. Ymir would close her eyes and dream of a shining, beautiful man when the king held her down and fucked her, made her recoil, made her bleed, beat her when she cried out or complained of the pain. She carved out a space in her mind for him where she sculpted him into her ideal. Sometime between that first bloody night and the day the assassin's spear pierced her chest she invented a Karl Fritz out of whole cloth, a man whose cold entreaties and brutal assaults were proof of his undying love.
Mikasa sees these things from Ymir’s eyes, feels the bruises forming on her back, the tearing and bleeding between her legs, the rotted wine breath of Karl Fritz in her mouth.
"I would never have jumped in front of that spear," she says, more confident than she’s ever felt. "I wouldn't even have considered it." Ymir frowns, cocks her head like she's trying to understand. "You thought you were doing the right thing, but you protected a man who never loved you. You laid down your life for a man who forced your daughters to consume your body. He didn't even mourn you."
A flash of anger contorts Ymir's face. Her eyes dart around wildly, turning Mikasa's words over in her mind. "But he loved me," she insists.
"Did he ever tell you he loved you? Or did he treat you like a slave?" Mikasa's voice wavers at the word slave, at the memory of Eren screaming at her across that restaurant table; the moment her wall of denial came crumbling down. No matter what his plan was, it became clear that day that he would step on any of them to achieve it. She had no idea how true that assessment would become, millions of bodies crushed into the contaminated earth beneath the feet of Eren’s Titans.
She wonders if things would have happened differently if he'd just admitted once that he loved her.
"You are free," she tells Ymir. "You choose your own destiny. I am free, and I chose mine."
Ymir says nothing, her eyes luminous with tears, and then dissipates into the smoke. Mikasa is vaguely aware of the wavering steam around her, of Levi flying on Falco's back and pulling her out of the Titan's mouth before everything turns hazy and white.
She can see the scene from two thousand years earlier as clear as though she were there, floating above it all: the crowd come to see King Fritz's speech, the hooded assassin's arm pulling back, the tip of the spear glinting in the daylight. The assassin lets the spear fly, its arc perfectly aimed at the heart of the tyrant. His wife Ymir, older and slimmer than the girl Mikasa met but still with those same sad, black insect eyes, watches in horror as the tip of the spear flies closer and closer; but she does not move, not even when it impales her husband through the chest and the light in his eyes is snuffed out.
In time-lapse, Mikasa sees it all: the accession of Queen Ymir, wise and fair, and the moderate reigns of her three daughters, and their daughters after them. The power of the Titans remains within the royal family, passed down from mother to daughter, a shameful, secret birthright. They create diplomatic ties with other countries, offering succor and counsel, avoiding the path of war so as not to reveal their ultimate power. There is no Great Titan War, no walls, no telepathic manipulation. The world moves forward in fits and starts as it always has, small skirmishes and occasional wars, but the Eldians remain steadfast and committed to peace. Satisfied with Ymir's choice, Mikasa finds herself closing her eyes, opening them for the first time again in the year 835, in her parents' house just outside Shiganshina, as a new doctor pulls her into the world. He is not Grisha Yeager, she notes, and then she forgets who Grisha Yeager is entirely.
In the year 845, there is no Wall Maria for the Colossal Titan to breach, and no Colossal Titan to breach it.
Inside one of the cities in what was once Wall Rose, a history teacher writes notes on a chalkboard before his first class arrives for the day. He draws a crown in the middle of the board and writes the subject of the day's class inside of it: QUEEN YMIR THE WISE. The teacher is startled by a noise behind him; he turns to find one of his students, a shy girl called Sarah, taking a seat at her desk.
"School hasn't started yet," he says. "You're supposed to be outside."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Smith," Sarah replies. "I was looking at a really interesting bug and the other girls started making fun of me."
The teacher nods. "All right, just this once. If you’d like, sometime I could teach you how to stand up to those girls."
Hundreds of miles away, the forests of Dauper ring with the whoops of an exuberant girl, triumphing at having killed her first deer with a bow and arrow she carved herself. She doesn't care that she's scaring the other game away with her commotion, or that she has no idea how she'll lug a hundred-pound carcass all the way back home.
In Trost, a young boy lingers over his breakfast; not because he wants to miss school, but because his mother's omelet is the most delicious thing he's ever eaten and probably ever will eat. His mother ruffles his hair and pinches his round cheek, then gently chides him to eat faster or he’ll be late.
A little boy in Ragako District, a few inches shorter than his friends, demands another explanation of the multiplication tables. He doesn't quite understand the concept, goes blank when his friends try to explain arrays of rows and columns, but he believes that he can pass today's test if he tries hard enough.
Across the sea in Marley, the prosperous Eldian District is strewn with streamers, celebrating the 2000th anniversary of the assassination of the cruel King Fritz. The children have the day off from school and are gathering in the streets, purchasing candy and ice cream from vendor stalls and exchanging them as gifts to celebrate the sweetness of life. A little blond girl receives an extra coin from her father, who tells her to get something special for herself.
A few blocks away, a doctor fills his medical bag and sets off to see his first patient of the day. As he walks through the crowd of happy children, many of whom he’s delivered himself, he hopes that his only son will change his mind and join the family business.
In Mitras, a shopkeeper opens his door for the first time, pausing for a moment in the early morning sunshine to admire the wooden shingle hanging by his doorway, gently swinging in the breeze. It depicts a hand wrapped around a mug of tea, wisps of steam rising into the air above it.
The door opens while he's adjusting the canisters on the shelf behind the counter, making sure their labels face perfectly forward. His heart leaps at the tinkle of the doorbell. He picked the most musical one, the one that made him happiest when he heard it, and he feels very good about his decision.
"Hello, welcome to Ackerman Tea— Mom!" His voice takes on an adolescent whine when he addresses his mother, which makes him feel like a child and impossibly old at the same time, despite his twenty-six years.
"Did you really think I wouldn't be your first customer?" she asks, beaming. "Of course I'm going to come support my sweet boy." Her gaze sweeps over the shop, its walls painted a deep forest green, the mahogany counter polished to a mirror shine. "I'm so proud of you, Levi. You've worked so hard and it shows." Her voice quavers, her eyes filling with tears.
"Moooom," he trills, softer this time, quietly moved. Her presence feels like an auspicious omen, a reminder from the universe that someone will catch him should he fall. "Is there a tea you’re interested in, or would you like me to help you choose? We have more than thirty varieties."
"You've been practicing," his mother notes with a nod.
Levi shrugs off her comment, feeling a bit bashful that she’s noticed his hard work. "I've never been great with people, and this job is nothing but people. At least until I can hire someone to cover the counter while I blend tea in the back."
"You'll get there soon," she says, pulling a few coins from her purse. "Get me something you'd think I'd like."
He thinks for a moment, his brow furrowing in concentration, before his face lights up and he grabs a step-stool to reach a canister of black tea flavored with strawberry and rose. "This one is sweet and floral, but it becomes so much more when you add a bit of milk. You don't even need any sugar."
"Perfect. You even thought about how I take my tea." She places a few coins on the counter, watching her son approvingly as he scoops the tea into a bag, folds it closed with surgical precision, and ties a blue ribbon around it. "You're going to be a success, my love. I know it."
"That makes one of us," he smirks, then scoops the coins into his palm and puts them in the cash register, enjoying the feel of the heavy keys under his fingers, the spring-loaded pressure of the drawer. He hopes he gets to use it many more times today.
"Will you be home for dinner?"
"I should be. I can't imagine people will want to buy tea at night."
"Good," his mother says. "Because now that you're in business, we should talk about finding you a wife."
"MOM!" he exclaims, a furious blush coloring his face.
Further south in Shiganshina, Mikasa sulks as her mother walks her into town, not wanting to leave the safety of her parents' cabin to learn and play with the other children. She is perfectly happy to do chores on the farm, to learn the simultaneously mundane and arcane secrets of coaxing a plant from seed, to throw feed to the chickens and pull weeds in the garden.
"Mikasa, you're ten years old. Your father and I can't teach you everything," her mother says.
"I can learn from books. I don't need to go to school."
"The fact that you're saying that means you need to go. There's more to the world than just our farm, my sweet. You might want to see the world someday."
The little girl huffs. "I doubt it." Her mother simply shakes her head and smiles, ruminating on her daughter’s impending teenage years, a possible hint of rebellion, but finds that hard to imagine. Mikasa is usually a calm, easygoing child, though perhaps a bit too inquisitive and stubborn for her own good.
Mikasa hugs her mother fiercely at the school gate, watching as she turns and walks back up the road that leads to their farm. She’s excited to make new friends and learn new things, but she misses her home more than she ever thought possible. She lets out a soft sigh, then turns to face the crowd of running, yelling children; her new classmates.
She trudges around the grassy schoolyard, dodging groups of kids chasing each other or playing impromptu games. Everyone seems to know each other already; even if she did feel comfortable enough to go up to someone and introduce herself, she has no idea who to approach first.
"Hey! Give that back!" someone screams behind her. Mikasa turns around to see a small blond boy jumping up and down, reaching for a book that a larger boy dangles just above his grasp. The larger boy just laughs at him, taunting him with the book, threatening to tear it from its spine.
Mikasa frowns, balling her fists at her sides, then approaches the boys. "He said to give his book back," she says to the bully. "Give it back."
The bully laughs. "You think you can tell me what to do?"
"I think you should give the book back if you know what's good for you," she snarls, putting her hands on her hips. The bully laughs again and shoves Mikasa out of the way with one hand, making her stumble backwards, tripping over her own feet until she lands on her behind in the dirt. She gets up, dusts herself off, and runs up to the bully, punching him square in the nose. He falls to the ground, dropping the book. Mikasa tosses it to the blond boy. The bully grabs his nose, tears welling in his eyes, and lets out a wail when he sees his hand smeared with blood.
"You leave him alone!" Mikasa threatens, looming over the bully, her dark eyes shining. He scrabbles to his feet and runs away and she lets out a relieved breath, her heart hammering in her chest.
"That was amazing!" the little boy says. When he approaches her, she finds that he's not actually that small, only a few inches shorter than her. "I've never seen you before. Are you new?"
"It's my first day," she replies. "I've lived here all my life but I haven't been to school yet."
"I'm Armin," the boy says. "What's your name?"
"Mikasa."
"That’s an interesting name. Are you from Hizuru?" Armin asks, his eyes wide with curiosity. He holds up his book, a thick, leather-bound tome, A Brief History of Hizuru and the Minor East Sea Islands written in gilt lettering. "My parents told me that the whole country is built around a volcano. A big mountain filled with liquid fire! Well, technically it’s molten rock."
"My mom's family is from Hizuru, but I’ve never been there and I don't know anything about any liquid fire mountains," she says tentatively.
"It's real!" he gushes. "I'm reading about it now. I could tell you about it more at recess if you want. I like to sit under that tree over there." He points off in the distance, at a huge pine tree that shades a corner of the yard. "They're going to ring the bell soon, otherwise I'd tell you now. Volcanoes are so cool. Sometimes they explode and shoot the liquid fire into the sky like a firework."
"Wow!" Mikasa marvels with a smile. "I can’t wait to hear about them."

Top 12 Personal Favorite Hit Songs from 2012
Tumblr media
We’ve now entered the first year in a trio of fantastic years for hit songs, so yeah, it’s a top 12.
You won’t like some entries on this particular list.
Disclaimers:
Keep in mind I’m using both the year-end top 100 lists from the US and from France while making these top 10 things. There’s songs in English that charted in my country way higher than they did in their home countries, or even earlier or later, so that might get surprising at times.
Of course there will be stuff in French. We suck. I know. It’s my list. Deal with it.
My musical tastes have always been terrible and I’m not a critic, just a listener and an idiot.
I have sound to color synesthesia which justifies nothing but might explain why I have trouble describing some songs in other terms than visual ones.
Still working in Paris in 2012. Getting rapidly fed up with that. In constant stress to pay the rent because the landlord is bad and refuses to pay for stuff he should actually be responsible for in the flat. Other than that? Life was pretty good. “Having Money(tm)” meant being able to actually eat decent food and my health started to improve. Also I adopted a cat. That’s also the year I discovered the French branch of the SCP Foundation and started to contribute a lot to it. I also made this Tumblr blog!
I subscribed to a magazine called Elegy which always came with a music sample, which was great to discover new and vaguely obscure stuff.
Tumblr media
Quite a lot of notable albums that year: Some Nights by fun., Night Visions by Imagine Dragons, Monkey Me by Mylène Farmer, Living Things by Linkin Park (with poorly chosen singles unfortunately imho), Revelations by mind.in.a.box., Babel by Mumford & Sons, Neverworld’s End by Xandria, and most importantly, the dreamy and emotional Valtari by Sigur Ros and the dark and excellent Hide & Seek by The Birthday Massacre (even though my year was mostly ruled by Automatic (VNV Nation) that came out the previous year in 2011). Actually having money meant I could finally own the albums I had wanted for years, and you can bet the fact that I owned zero The Birthday Massacre albums even though I had loved their stuff since 2008 was quickly rectified.
Tumblr media
Nothing too annoying as far as non-elligible songs go this time, apart from the fact that more stuff from Mylo Xyloto (Coldplay) should have charted higher, and that I kinda regret the absence of La Vie Est Belle by MC Solaar. Not even sure I would have put it on the list, but still, great song.
Honorable mentions first!
Dusty Men (Saule) - Nothing to say about this. Pretty cool.
Young And Wild And Free (Snoop Dog) - That is a super chill and nice song.
Happy (C2C) - At the time, my brother was part-time DJ and opened a gig for these guys, and I was so proud of him! And I was also really glad to see some of their songs become hits. Very good stuff.
Midnight City (M82) - Borderline annoying or very good, depending on my mood.
Burn It Down (Linkin Park) - As I said, my opinion is that the singles from that album were poorly chosen, and Castle of Glass should have been the first one because let’s face it, that song is fantastic. Burn it Down isn’t bad at all, though.
Glad You Came (The Wanted) - I love how this song is written and it’s a lot of fun to hear every sentence starting with the end of the previous one.
I Cry (Flo Rida) - A ton of energy, very propulsive song.
Domino (Jessie J) - There’s a shit ton of weird metaphors in there but it’s still a very solid song.
Princess of China (Coldplay ft Rihanna) - I know I keep going on and on about Mylo Xyloto and how weird it was that the biggest hits from the album weren’t at all its best songs, but still, that’s really good stuff.
Ho Hey (The Lumineers) - The last cut from the list. This song is adorable and always puts me in a good mood. It’s so cute it almost feels mean to leave it out of this top. It’s also elligible for 2013 but I had even less room on that list, so...
And now, a top 12.
12 - Diamonds (Rihanna)
US: #94 / FR: #5
Tumblr media
Was considering leaving it out of the list, decided there was no way I could leave it out, realised there was no room left, and added a slot. Welcome to a top 12 instead of 10. But yeah, love that song even if it’s no longer on my playlist nowadays.
11 - Bangarang (Skrillex)
US: Not on the list / FR: #92
Tumblr media
Yes.
The other reason this list was turned into a top 12 was to put Skrillex on it.
I’m not even remotely sorry.
Make fun of dubstep all you like, that track is an explosion of sharp colors and edges, like an audio version of edgy street art. It’s almost impossible for me to listen to it without miming the shapes of the sound with energetic gestures and some hand-flapping. Perfect stim music.
10 - Die Young (Kesha)
US: #85 / FR: #78
Tumblr media
This is no Take It Off but it’s the next best thing available, and it’s catchy and has a lot of fun little details (like the dirty socks line), and also, unlike the previous two, it’s still on my mp3 player, so yeah, 10th spot is fair. I love a party song with some sort of apocalyptic mindset.
9 - Skyfall (Adele)
US: Not on the list / FR: #2
Tumblr media
I usually don’t give a damn about James Bond movies but I sincerely loved that one, with its stakes becoming smaller and smaller and more personal as the story progressed, and most importantly, it had some visually striking colors near the end, and this wonderful, wonderful song. As I already said about the previous Adele song, I only like slow, emotional songs when there’s some energy behind them or at least some sort of dramatic atmosphere, and boy that’s some quality Drama(tm) right there.
8 - A l’Ombre (Mylène Farmer)
US: Not on the list / FR: #86
Tumblr media
If C’est Une Belle Journée was the “last great Mylène Farmer song”, A l’Ombre might just be her best single released post 2003, at least imho. It’s only #8 because the general quality of hit songs in 2012 was insanely high, otherwise it would be way higher.
It’s about losing your identity and as you might already know I’m a sucker for that theme ; also the music video features Olivier de Sagazan, an artist who puts layers of clay, paint and mud on his own head and body to sculpt new faces, and it’s disturbing in all the best ways (obvious body horror tw for the link even if it’s clay and very abstract. Also there’s wolves. I’m just saying because I have one friend who’s scared of them).
7 - Thrift Shop (Macklemore)
US: Not on the list (#1 the very next year obviously) / FR: #7
Tumblr media
Finally, a song about my favorite type of clothes: the cheap, comfy, unfashionable ones. With a great beat! And really fun lyrics! And a great music video! And a couple of actually insightful lines! Can’t even imagine how happy I would have been if this had dropped 3 years earlier back in university when I was still called “the hobo”.
I was still wearing that same old black coat from 2006 in 2012, mind you.
6 - Lights (Ellie Goulding)
US: #5 / FR: Not on the list
Tumblr media
This song looks fantastic and, just like Fireflies by Owl City which to me looks exactly like fireflies flying in the night, it’s incredibly satisfying to hear a song titled “Lights” which looks like a series of pulsing semi-distant lights in the dark.
5 - We Are Young (fun.)
US: #3 / FR: #21
Tumblr media
As far as favorite bands go, the 2000s charts gave me Linkin Park, Placebo, The Killers and My Chemical Romance. The 2010s charts were a bit less generous and only gave me fun., who’s own arrogance killed them right when they were at the top of their game and that’s nothing short of a tragedy considering how f█cking good their few hit songs were.
I guess your band either dies a hero, or it lives long enough to see itself become Imagine Dragons.
Oh well. At least we had some of the best songs (if not the best) of the 2010s while they were there.
4 - Turn Me On (David Guetta ft Nicki Minaj)
US: #35 / FR: #57
Tumblr media
Ooooooh I bet some of you are furious this is placed 5 slots above Adele.
Listen. You know I love dance music, especially when it’s aggressive or with a darker edge. And yeah, that sounded like a lost Benassi Bros track, and it had a great (but way too short) rap bridge. You also know how literal-minded I am. So when I first heard Nicki Minaj’s voice with a ton of electronic distorsion saying “Make me come alive, come on and turn me on”, I didn’t picture anything sexy, but a robot. I’d rather pretend songs are about interesting things instead of generic supposedly sexy club anthems.
PLOT TWIST! As it turns out, the music video, instead of featuring some generic club stuff, featured everything I wanted and more: a weird, steampunk world of robots in which an inventor just created an android that looks way more alive than all the previous ones, and they all become jealous, and break his door down. With an axe.
Framing is everything. I absolutely love it. What a gift.
3 - It’s Time (Imagine Dragons)
US: #91 / FR: Not on the list
Tumblr media
Believe it or not, I used to love Imagine Dragons. I still love the album Night Visions, which, apart from a couple of duds (like Demons, which is dreadful), is damn good. I don’t know what happened after that. I really don’t. Everything became slow, and heavy, and kind of boring. It worked fine for Radioactive, because that was a post-apocalyptic song, but when you try to apply the same formula to motivational songs, it simply doesn’t work.
Oh well. At least, for now, there was It’s Time. The music video, with people walking through a wasteland, is the perfect imagery for that song. Rebuild something new, but don’t change who you are. Things might get broken, but we’ll make art with them. We’ll plant trees over the graves of people who burnt them. Positive pessimism only, lads.
2 - Good Time (Owl City & Carly Rae Jepsen)
US: #38 / FR: #40
Tumblr media
The most innocent song about parties ever written. It IS always a good time when you listen to it. It reminded me of the parties at the campus at my job training the previous year, where we’d make dumb contests like “best disguise but if you buy anything you’re disqualified” and I made Freddy Krueger claws in papercraft and a friend won with his “emperor Nero” disguise which was basically a toga made with his bed sheets, a crown made with ivy he found outside, and him looking incredibly punchable on purpose.
It’s an incredibly cute song, it never outstays its welcome, always puts me in a good mood AND gives me some much needed energy. You already know I loved Owl City to begin with, even if I wanted him to have way more hit songs, and Carly Rae Jepsen was going to end on my playlist eventually, with several fantastic future songs. I’m glad this was a hit. They both deserved it.
1 - Some Nights (fun.)
US: #14 / FR: Not on the list (why. how. f█ck off)
Tumblr media
There’s drums! There’s ‘woho-woho’s! There’s guitars! It’s a perfect pop-rock earworm that never ever gets annoying! There’s a goddamn solo made with an autotuned version of the singer yelling “aaaaaaa”!! What more can you possibly want from a hit song?
I’m saying this right now: this is my favorite elligible hit song of the entire decade. Spoilers, I know. The #1s for 2013 and 2014 both come really close, but they aren’t as anthemic as this one. What did we do to deserve something this f█cking good in that day and age? I have no clue, but clearly, we didn’t deserve more of that, because these guys split up very quickly.
Anyone know some kind of magic spell to bring them back for an encore?

Hey! Since you are the Queen of Nancy/Kali, I have a question for you: Who do you think would propose to the other one? (I really hope nobody asked this before, if so I'm sorry!) I hope you have a nice day!
Omg please never think you can’t send me something bcsomeone has asked me before, because I get so few asks, and even less Kalancyones! Thank you so much! (I’ve never been asked this btw, I was so excited all day to answer it!)
I actually think Nancy would be the one to propose. But itwould take a long time and she would need outside prompting to work up thecourage to do it (Joyce and Jonathan are the ones to put her up to it. Nancygoes to Joyce first, then Jonathan. Jonathan and Steve married a few years ago).It’s not that either of them is against marriage, but living in the world theylive in (regardless if it was the 2000s or the 2010s – or 2020s! Modern au version yknow) I thinkmarriage wouldn’t be a huge consideration for either of them. They’re justgrateful to be with each other, and with their loved ones (El and all theirpretty much extended family at this point, through The Party, Jonathan andSteve, and Kali’s gang). I bet they’re each well into their 30s by the timeNancy proposes.
I go back and forth on whether Nancy will be an establisheddoctor, a paramedic, or in school to be a veterinarian by then. Kali could bedoing anything, from helping Steve run his mechanics shop, to working at ahair salon, to getting some high profile job as a makeup artist, to being amercenary type assassin all across the world; I can imagine her doing so manydifferent things, and I think that’s how she likes it. But at the same time Ifeel like Kali would love to eventually settle into a career as a tattoo artist.
Nancy would actually avoid the topic of how she’s going topropose, for weeks after she decides she’s really going to do it. She’s going to propose. The thought is sooverwhelming that she just has to let it sit on the back burner for a while.
Then Kali does something for her, like slipping a smalldrawing of Nancy’s favorite animal in the current book Nancy’s reading for herto find, and Nancy finally decides to just go for it, without thinking too muchabout how. She goes that same day to a jeweler and picks out a ring, with Kali’sbirthstone (because I hc they’re both astrology nerds, don’t @ me).
And after they finish cleaning up dinner that night, and aresnacking on chocolate kisses (Kali is always keeping some sort of chocolate intheir apartment because it’s her favorite treat and Nancy knows she went manyyears without even a full meal on a daily basis) and watching a movie they bothlike (probably a horror movie, they both love horror movies), Nancy just takesthe velvet box with the ring out of her robe pocket and is like “Kali can I askyou a question?”
And Kali has her eyes on the screen and is like “Yeah,”without looking over, so Nancy decides to mess with her, and when Kali goes toreach for another Hershey’s kiss out of the bag (Kali stocks up and just eatscandy out of the bag she doesn’t care) Nancy puts the velvet box there instead.Kali’s hand touches it and she looks at it like WTF.
“What is that?”
“Open it.”
Kali picks up the box, moving far too slowly for Nancy, butshe stays quiet, her heart pounding. Kali opens the box, and just sits therestaring at the ring.
The silence is almost too long before Nancy blurts out, “Willyou marry me?”
And Kali’s mouth falls open and no sound comes out, andNancy cannot sit still but she doesanyway and Kali finally looks at her with tears in her eyes and says “Yes,” ina soft, vulnerable way that Nancy seldom hears. And they hug super tight andkiss for a long time and Nancy barely remembers to put the ring on her fiancée’sfinger before clothes are coming off. It would be just like these two topropose and then have crazy hot sex with a horror film playing in thebackground, I’m js.

Next: Breathe || Dig Deep Masterlist
The night before your wedding to a man you couldn’t find any more repugnant, you seek out the mercantile aid of an unscrupulous space pirate.
You’d approached him covertly, under the pretence of a black-market trade. And when the alien had agreed to meet with you – such shady dealings routine for his family – he’d expected much more than some shivering mess of a woman huddled beneath a tattered cloak.
Yoongi had immediately been on edge, sensing this a trap for him and his brethren. “State your intentions quickly, or die, human,” he’d warned.
You’d trembled at his words, clearly out of your depth. Your appearance lended your like to the plush quarters of the VIP lounges and five-star cruisers that made port only long enough to refuel. No one in their right mind stayed here for long. And you certainly had no business in the underbelly of the starport, where the most violent of crimes were rife. “I-I’m sorry,” you’d stammered, taking a step closer to him. His glacial eyes froze you into place. “I mean you no harm. Nay, I am not here to barter with you, however—“
Yoongi hissed, his cloak rippling behind him with the aggressive thrash of tentacles. For some reason, you could not draw your eyes away. Your voice grew stronger. “I am here to propose something else. Something that I am sure is wholly unappealing to you, and yet, on the eve of my wedding, I find myself most desperate.”
The humanoid brushed a lock of silver hair from his eyes as he considered you. If he really were at any risk right now, he would already have been ambushed. Further tipping the balance in his favour was the proximity of his brothers, who had been briefed to intercept matters if he was gone too long. And it was with good reason that his family – a band of grizzled marauders – was feared. You must have been wholly unaware of their notoriety to have been so unabashedly deceitful.  “What is it, human? Speak quickly. I do not take fondly to those who  mislead me.”
The affirmative jerks of your head conveyed the relief with which you felt at the chance he gave you. “I, as you have ascertained, am a human woman. Tomorrow, I am to be wed to a human man, one I have not chosen for myself, and one I find lacking in every way possible,” your next words were delivered in a lowered tone, your eyes darting left and right, as though confiding in him the most heinous of secrets. “The rest of my life will be led in shackles. My kind would surely have me stripped of my caste and lashed for what I am about to say, but I do not care anymore. For so long have I gone without what I truly desire.”
“And what is that, girl? Spit it out,” the alien bristled, losing his patience. As much as an anomaly it was to have a human girl – and a noble, at that – approach him in the dank, stretching reaches of the starport’s cargo bays, he was a busy man and his brethren’s ship would soon be departing.
You seemed to puff yourself up with breath. “Lie with me,” you mumbled, your head dipping enough that your hood obscured your face but for the shame. “I have always wanted to lie with your like. I know it is forbidden, and Thraeus only knows whether such a union would even be possible, but—“
Yoongi found himself at an utter loss for words. His impressive store of dry retorts and scathing insults vanished into thin air. “You wish to mate with me?”
“Yes,” you urged, your heavy, sewer-sodden cloak clutched as fistfuls by your sides. “I have thought about it ever since I first learned about your kind. Since the day I shed my first blood, even. Many of my species would call me an abhorrent, disturbed pervert, but I know what I want. I will give you anything you desire in return; I have riches. Name your price.”
It was a long, tense few moments until he responded. You seemed genuine – dare he say, even a little pitiful? And that was saying something, considering he loathed your kind and the cruelty with which they had treated the unsuspecting populace of the galaxy. Life, before, had been peaceful; subdued of conflict and bloodshed. But when humans had warped, unannounced and unwelcome into the established territories of other species, aggressive and pioneering, everyone had suffered. Humans were a pervasive pest; high in number and with boundless resources. No-one had been able to oppose their quick and bloody domination of the solar system.
Luckily for you, Yoongi and his brothers were not ones to become embroiled in political, racial or territorial disputes. Their one and only pursuit was riches. Endless, bountiful riches. And, certainly, they were the type to accept even the most questionable of offers in return for them. “I want 2000,” he stated plainly, watching your expression. When it didn’t instantly sour, he upped the number. “3000. And my brothers will be present.”
Your breath hitched, but not from the figure proposed, apparently. “You want them… to watch?”
“Yes,” Yoongi shrugged. It was no more unusual than eating, sleeping or toileting together. No action was too intimate for his species; indeed, it was normal for them to mate in groups when the season rolled around. “For amusements’ sake. They may even learn something. Our education is not as thorough as yours, you see.”
You lowered your eyes at the slight against your kind. “I accept your condition, and your offer. But we must go now, I am due back on board within the next two hours and they will notice my absence from the spa if I am longer than that.”
Yoongi snorted derisively. “The spa? Of course.”
Humans were such infuriating, idle creatures.  “Well, if you are in such a hurry, human, then why haven’t you yet presented me with your payment?”
“Oh, yes,” you withdrew a pouch from the wing of your cloak. It clinked agreeably with the promise of credits. Yoongi snatched the extended purse from you and peeked inside. A smirk slithered its way across his mouth when he took in its contents. He liked those that were true to their word.
“Then, follow me. Our ship is not docked far from here,” he drawled, already ten paces ahead. Yoongi rolled his eyes when he noticed you weren’t keeping up. “What is the issue?”
“I can’t be seen, under any circumstances,” you whispered, peering around a corner like your face had been printed on every intersystem Most Wanted poster.
Yoongi continued to walk. He had the money; whether you followed or not was none of his concern. Still, a niggling curiosity did have him peering over his shoulder to see if you had surrendered to cold feet. “You won’t be seen. We aren’t allowed to occupy the same harbours as your kind.”
You jogged up to him. Yoongi caught the way your eyes followed the languid to-and-fro his cloaked appendages swayed. Considering his species was oft thought of as hideous and deformed amidst the likes of the other humanoid aliens, the fact that you were almost unhealthily fixated on his species flattered him somewhat. And you were cunning! How had you even accessed the channels of communication to facilitate this meeting? Such resourcefulness was appealing.
Of course, when it came to the likes of appeal, however, Yoongi felt you would soon be in for some stark disappointment. Iluoli mated out of necessity, not pleasure; to broaden the branches of their whittling family trees. In fact, Yoongi could never even recall an occasion that a mating ceremony had ever brought him a physical satisfaction; the rituals were cursory, formal, and quick to be over with. Whatever expulsion was drawn from him – and it was never very much – was merely a result of a hasty intertangling of presented appendages and the absorption of the female pheromone.
And, as you had already mused, doubts lingered over whether copulation with a human would even be possible. What were you expecting, exactly? You must have had some rather flamboyant fantasy etched into your mind. Especially if it had been so lovingly, filthily fleshed out since – when did you say? Your first bloodshed? Yoongi wasn’t even quite sure what you had meant by the term. Perhaps humans engaged in violence to denote their advance into adolescence?
Peculiar creatures.
And that is how Yoongi finds himself where he is now; an impatient spectator to your discomfited, drawn-out stripshow. You haven’t been offered the hospitality reserved for those distinguished, because you’re far too human for his liking. Additionally, annoyingly, their departure will likely be delayed for your fancies. The alien doesn’t deem it necessary that the event take place in his quarters, either, where he’s aware many species prefer to mate. No, the stench of human will pervade his only sanctuary. Instead, he’s seated you on the surface of a table in the ship’s mess hall, with no word of a welcome. 
Yoongi regards you with mildest of interest as you - finally - slip your many layers of clothing from your form. He catches you monitoring his face closely, as though you’re scrutinising him for signs of revulsion. But Yoongi has none to show – you are merely a novelty to him. The females of his species are similar in silhouette to human females but lack the quirky features that you are unveiling before him. He points at your bare breasts. “What are these?”
A faint blush colours your cheeks. “You don’t know?”
“Of course I don’t,” he snaps. You’re testing his patience. “I have never even entertained the thought of mating with a human. I dare say this won’t even work.”
He watches the way your face pinches, as though he’s said something most offensive. “I want to try,” you insist. Then, your eyes meander along his outline. “Can I see you?”
A light chuckle stirs in Yoongi’s chest. “I never thought I would see the day that a human request I reveal my deformity to her. You are an unusual one.”
“It’s all I can think about, lately,” you admit, but you appear to be losing your inhibitions. “Please, show them to me.”
Yoongi shrugs in nonchalance and to remove the cloak shielding them from view. Springing free, the black, glossy appendages stretch to their full length, like a cat after a long nap. Six in total, three take root either side the expanse of his back. He feels a strange sense of validation at seeing your wide-eyed, awestruck reaction, as though he’s blessing you with the most sacred of sights.
“Can I touch one?” you really are becoming bolder.
“I suppose,” Yoongi smirks, one of his tendrils slicing the air in a sharp, sudden lunge. The movement makes you to jump, to his delight. He’s enjoying this immensely, having the chance to toy with a human. He allows the tip of the tentacle to hover before your outstretched hand, raising an eyebrow when you exhale a shuddering breath upon touching it.
“It’s so smooth,” you wonder aloud, and the head of it seeks out your touch, rolling gently this way and that, like an animal enjoying a petting.
At that moment, the doors to the room slide open and three of Yoongi’s brothers enter. A sudden yelp and the sounds of bunching material draws his attention away from them long enough to observe, with great amusement, the heat of shame flooding your adorably rounded cheeks. “Oh my God, I’m s-so sorry,” you whimper like vermin caught foot-first in a snare. There’s nowhere for you to hide. “I didn’t realise—“
“Cease your rambling, human,” Yoongi asserts. His voice is as cool and calm as the features of his brothers. “They already know, and they are here to watch. Some of them were interested.”
You may have been alarmed by the appearance of your curious audience, but that isn’t the reaction that catches his attention. Yoongi notes that you’ve been clenching your legs together intermittently for a while now, and calls you out on it when he sees you do it again. “What is between your legs, human?”
That seems enough to tear your attention away from the aliens forming a semi-circle around you. Whatever embarrassment you were feeling, you take a deep breath as though to banish it. To harden your resolve. You are, after all, here for a very specific purpose – what was the point of suggesting it if you couldn’t even make it through discourse on the subject? Yoongi finds you incredibly vexing, irrational, and, though he’s loathe to admit it, oddly endearing.
“What I want you to look at,” you mumble, biting your lip. You drop the cloak you had been so quick to cover yourself with and allow the assembled aliens’ eyes to study your body. “More than anything.”
Yoongi steps forward, obscuring your view of the men behind him. “Then, show me.”
Ever so demurely, you hitch up your skirts, allowing him to follow the journey of your stocking-clad legs. When you reach the tops of your thighs, however, you hesitate a little, and Yoongi raises his eyes to berate you. But you appear to be doing so already, under your breath. Not one to impart comfort nor encouragement, he waits with crossed arms and a bored expression. Finally, you nod and expose yourself entirely to him. Yoongi’s typically apathetic demeanour falters for a moment when he catches sight of what is between your legs; a mound, slightly protruding and thatched with hair. The visual reminds him that, despite cosmetic interference, humans are base, feral creatures.
He reserves judgment entirely in order to question you. “What is this, human, some festering wound?”
You jut your chin out defensively. “N-No! This… this is how I want you to fuck me.”
Yoongi turns to his brothers, who are similarly perplexed. They close in on you, hunching over his shoulder as though attending an anatomy lecture. “Does the girl invite me to penetrate this cavity?” he poses to them, and they nod in unison.
“It appears so. But for what purpose?”
“Perhaps to assuage some acute pain?” one reasons.
Yoongi dismisses his brother with a mirthful snort. “I am sure the girl would have sought out a medic, had that been her problem. This must be how these creatures copulate.”
“Yes, that’s exactly it,” you nod, spurred on by his suggestion. “Penetrate me here. I know it will feel good.”
Unsure of what is instore for him exactly, Yoongi gives a curt nod. If it’s to be as quick and bland as his usual sexual encounters, he wants it over with. “Ready?”
The way you lie back onto the table and angle your hips towards him seems like an affirmation. “More than,” you breathe, and he hears the shakiness in your voice. It seems as though his interpretation of ape body language isn’t far off the mark.
Two of his tentacles descend on you, encompassing the stretch of your trembling legs like ivy. He takes his time, relishing the way you squirm. When they reach the juncture at your pelvis, they descend, slithering their way down to your apparent genitalia. The slimy appendages pull apart the lips of your pussy ever so gently, as though investigating an injury. When your pink interior reveals itself to him, you gasp and arch into his frustratingly tender touches. He stops immediately, as though he has hurt you.
“No, don’t stop,” you beg wantonly. “If I make noises, I’m enjoying it. Please, continue.”
Dragging you closer by your lassoed legs, he lays the palms of his hands against your knees, keeping you spread. Another tentacle springs forth. This one, to your apparent delight, is thicker, rounded at the tip. As he lowers it to your cunt, he notes with intrigue how the orifice seems to self-lubricate. Is it in preparation to receive him?
Air expels itself from your lungs when you feel the slippery limb breach you. It feels alien; far more yielding than a penis and yet it is as tempered as steel. It alternates between flaccidity and tautness; a confusing, arousing combination that has you arching into its leisurely excavation of you. Yoongi burrows his way in, leavening your walls for his girth with every increment of his descent into your depths. A few inches in, Yoongi’s form stutters. He holds himself against the table as though struck by the most incredible pain.
“Brother! Are you well? Withdraw, it could harbour any number of malicious secrets,” his fiery-haired brother, Jimin, implores. The man’s cherubic face is fraught.
But Yoongi cannot respond. Streams of perspiration sear the sides of his face as acute, overwhelming pangs of pleasure ricochet along the length of his embedded tentacle. Never has he felt so close to becoming unhinged. It is divine, this sensation; like you’re squeezing him into a rapturous submission. Like you’re compelling him by some dark, debauched witchcraft to force him, now, much, much deeper. A hoarse groan rumbles in Yoongi’s throat and his brothers still; they have never seen their kin react in such a way.
“Whatever you are doing, don’t stop,” he moans greedily, urged by the clenching walls of your vagina to begin thrusting. Fuck, if just being inside of you was burning him up, the friction of movement has him wailing for his life. He pistons himself into you at great speed, each driven reach further than the last.
How far do you go? Are you endless?
He has to find out.
“T-Touch me, here,” you beg him, cupping your lewdly bouncing breasts. “P-please!”
Oblivious as to the reason why, Yoongi complies nevertheless. He draws two of his unoccupied tentacles to the jiggling mounds of flesh and encircles them, kneading them to the rhythm of his penetration. Emboldened by your vocal reaction, he employs the slender, nimble tips to flick at your budding nipples, teasing them to attention. You were squealing, now. Somehow, it inflames his own enjoyment.
And if he’s not observing, slack-jawed, the obscene image of his tendril spearing you repeatedly, he’s absorbed, instead, in the erratic flickering of your facial expressions. Your mouth is perpetually agape and emitting the shrillest of sounds, noises he has never heard a human utter. For some, unknown reason, it only bolsters his determination to satisfy his part of the deal.
His brothers watch on, unsure of what action to take as Yoongi works himself into a heated frenzy, all manner of choked vocalisations strangling their way out of his bobbing throat.
To his frustration, he encounters a barrier in his repeated penetration of you, but it does not deter him. His feelers detect a give in the deeper, smaller orifice situated at the back of your licentious maw, and becomes all the more feverish for it. He doesn’t know why he’s reacting so, only that something alarming, something unprecedented is occurring within his body. Something is building.
Something monstrous.
You gasp, stilling, when he squirms his way past the gates of heaven and into a great open space, somewhere that feels soft and supple at his every inner caress. Outwardly, your abdomen ripples with every wilful probe of his interior exploration. Your cervix is so close to ending him that, in his greed, he pierces you with another of his eager, enlivened appendages. The burn of its entrance has you writhing, white-knuckled, as you cling to the table, a ravenous moan tearing itself from your lungs.
You do not, however, tell him to stop. Whether you’re enjoying it as much as he, he does not know; all he knows is this tight, relentless rapture and that he would keep you here if he could, indefinitely, to experience it for the rest of his life.
The females of his species offer no such internal sanctuary for his sensitive appendages, and in his headiness, Yoongi wonders what was ever the point in their design. Mating with you, however, is different. It’s undeniably physical, powerful, stirring him to the point of mania. Has him chasing some irresistible, unknown completion, as vital to his existence as a dying man’s last, heaving breath. You’re chipping away at his mind, leaving all his previous priorities and sensibilities lying entirely forgotten. The closer he gets, the more that enthralling swathe of amnesia descends upon him, clouding everything he’s ever considered important.
This is all that matters.
And yet he has never felt more lucid and alive in this moment, the moment he is skewering you with two of himself, worming his way past the unforgiving obstacles of your insides and rutting you in a way he never knew possible.
As your stomach rounds and churns before his eyes, he moans, long and low. And a thought, a desire, unknown in source, flits through his mind; he wants to fill you, to impregnate you, watch you brim with his sticky, viscous eruptions. And yet, he has only ever produced a measly amount for his mates; after all, Iluoli are virile creatures and the females bear children easily.
But this.
This was gargantuan, this mounting feeling.
It comes to a blinding, disabling head when Yoongi thrusts his tentacles so far inside of you that they curl in on themselves. Their combined mass stretches the cavernous space of your uterus to its limits. He can’t help but find your expanding belly all the more appealing for its demonstration of your child-bearing capabilities. And for being so tightly coiled, so compacted within you, he screams unbridled, as though baring the most excruciating of pains, frightening his kin.
Gripping your pelvis, he tenses, feeling white hot bliss hurtle through his lengthy appendages. The limbs swell exponentially, hardening into unmoving masses as the first of his milk bursts forth from the slits atop their rounded extremities. Rapidly, he fills the meagre space you provide, the dregs of him spilling out either side of your twitching orifice. Yoongi grunts with every brief, successive spurt that expels itself from him, the substance so familiar, and yet, so foreign to him in this volume. It pools onto the floor below you, your abdomen swelling inhumanly the more he fills your cramped innards. You are a mere spasming, unresponsive mess beneath him, and for a moment he is stricken with panic.
Is this it? Is he to become notorious for the violation and murder of a human noble?
To his immense relief, you release a shuddering, satisfied sigh. Your eyes flicker absently beneath heavy lids, as though reluctant to open them and return to the reality that awaits you tomorrow.
Milked until empty, Yoongi staggers back and drops to his knees. He watches with wide, baffled eyes as his semen seems to pour without end from your reddened, battered cunt, the consistency betwixt liquid and something more gelatinous.
He struggles to regain his, still laboured, breath. “Are you well, girl?”
Yoongi can’t tell whether you stir, then, or are still seized by spasms. And that is when he remembers that the two of you are not alone. He spins around, his tentacles primed into an aggressive stance. He feels oddly possessive of you. “Leave. Now,” he commands, because nothing boils his blood more than the thought that his brothers’ eyes are unmoving from your naked, vulnerable form.
Jimin speaks up when no-one else will. “Brother, what’s happened to you? What did she do to you?”
Yoongi’s lip curls into a threatening snarl. His brethren take a submissive, wary step back. “Nothing. I’m merely asking you to leave. Don’t look at her, don’t speak to her. Just leave.”
All they can do is exchange bewildered looks, because words desert them. Jimin gives a hesitant nod before he files the other two out the door. And, on Yoongi’s instruction, he does not look back.
Still numb and reeling from what had transpired, Yoongi approaches the head of the table and brushes away the hair tacked to your glistening forehead. Had you, indeed, cast some spell on him? Because, as he looks at you now, he swears he has never seen anything quite so beautiful. Nothing, no-one – his own species included – has he ever considered so. Somehow, you have likewise planted your seed within him. He feels it lingering, growing in the bowels of his two, frigid hearts.
When his hand makes a second pass over your fevered complexion, your eyes open to him. Had he done this to you? You looked in the throes of death; flushed, glassy-eyed and with barely the strength to raise your head.  You rasp, rather than speak. “Thank you.”
Yoongi watches an exhausted smile round your lips. His hearts pound, impassioned, in tandem. “Come with me,” he beseeches. He’s bewitched, he knows it. There’s no other explanation for it. Iluoli do not form bonds when they mate, and yet, here he is, imploring you – a human­ – to abandon your family, your heritage. To have him, to allow him to mate you again, and again, and—
“Are you trying to swindle me?” you ask, sensing duplicity.
Again, he’s disarmed by how canny you are. “No,” he says simply. “You do not want to marry this man, tomorrow – you’ve said as such. I, now, have an invested—interest—in you. So,” he takes your hand, turning it over in his own, because he recalls seeing mated humans doing it. He doesn’t know how to show affection in his own way. “Come with me.”
Your face beams elation, and Yoongi finds himself encompassed in one of those superfluous human showcases of – what was it, again, that they called it? Love? He overheats in the embrace of your arms. Humans burn far too hot for his liking. “I will,” you exhort, crushing him to you. “I will!”
The corners of Yoongi’s mouth peak triumphantly. Just this once, he will indulge your inane human tendencies. As your arms encircle him, he curls his sagging, spent tendrils around your body, dwarfing you in their mass. “Then it will be so.”

SnK Chapter 100 Poll Results
The chapter 100 poll closed with 1,915 responses. When we compiled the write in comments, they filled a 65 page word document. Since we can only share a fraction of those, we are linking to the document so it can be viewed in entirety.
Thank you to everyone who participated.
  RATE THE CHAPTER 1,869 Responses
Tumblr media
Close to 60% of the fandom gave this chapter the highest mark possible while those disapproving were negligible. Still, those selecting “5” on this highly anticipated chapter were down more than 10% from last month. 
Can I have my white-and-black morality back, Isayama? Please?
this manga has successfully crushed my moral beliefs into rubble and I don't know how to feel about it
I hadn't felt dead inside like this after reading a chapter since chapter 84.
I really like the interaction with Eren and Reiner. Reiner’s breakdown felt so real and honest and Isayama really conveyed that he was suffering .
I'm disappointed, I expected great things of this chapter. Isayama really tends to unnecessarily lenghten scenes that don't need to be. You'd think he would've learned about pacing by now. I guess the real shit will go down next chapter... hopefully.
If feels as though we're finally getting somewhere but I'm not sure I like where we're getting
It definitely lives up to the large expectations from being the 100th chapter
It is clear to me that this chapter was meant to tease us with the very beginning of the fight that is to come and it's quite sad that a part of the fandom fails to see that. We were purposefully given too few information or images to make conclusions of. Any possibility (almost everything included in this poll) seems likely at this point.
It was so close for another Marcel Flashback but mystery still endures. Dissapointent!
One hell of a milestone chapter. Isayama truly delivered.
the anime better knock this one out of the park in 2000 years lmao
January pls
  WHAT WAS THE MOST POWERFUL PART OF THE CHAPTER? 1,880 Responses
Tumblr media
For the most powerful moment, “Eren’s titan transformation” takes a quarter of the vote, followed by “All of the above.” Reiner begging for Eren to kill him and “Attack on Willy“ round out the top four.
 "Did I say that? Please, forget I said that."
after watching the same scenarios over and over, i'd say to  finally see someone taking responsibilities of their actions: magath and will being conscious of the fact they are getting their hands dirty
Eren and his Freakish Toes
Eren's glare just before he transformed. And his flowing hair, are you sure he's not modelling for L'Oreal right now?!
For me, it was Eren's expressions throughout the chapter. Especially when he reacted to Willy's words.
Reiner. GET IT TOGETHER. Not the time, not the place, not the person you should be begging. But if you kept Falco alive and will fight for your fellow Eldians in the ghetto next chapter we're good.
ok but is there sour cream in marley?
  WHAT WAS THE MOST INTERESTING NEW INFORMATION 1,866 Responses

The walls being named for Ymir Fritz’s daughters and Willy knowingly being set up as a martyr were nearly tied for “most interesting new information”. And you people are honestly freaks because Duck Shaped Potties came in third.

  ISAYAMA DELIVERED ON THE BODY HORROR THIS CHAPTER. WHAT PART GROSSED YOU OUT THE MOST? 1,870 Responses
Tumblr media
Carrot toes win by a landslide--and also made for the best write-in comments!
Dem Toes Be FREAKY
Don't regrow limbs anymore, please
Eren's foot regenerating is more gross than all the deaths in Attack on Titan I've ever seen. I hope he never does that again tbh.
Thank you for mentioning my "little baby carrots"
Everyone's complaining about the body horror, but I'm upset that Isayama held back on having Eren regenerate his left eyeball. Might've looked similar to Reiner when his head blew off, except with beautiful, long flowing hair.
the foot flower just (shudders).
as I try to gather my overwhelming amount of thoughts on this boy, and despite those gnarly baby toe sprouts close to ready for harvest, I will glorify those chiseled calves of a god.
THANKS MOM I CAN'T EAT BABY CARROTS EVER AGAIN
  ON A SCALE OF “YOU CAN STAY RIGHT THERE CRYING ON THE FLOOR” TO “I WILL HOLD YOU AND NEVER EVER LET YOU GO,” HOW BADLY DO YOU WANT TO HUG REINER AFTER THIS CHAPTER? 1,880 Responses
Tumblr media
When I compare this to the chapter 93 poll where 21% had little to no sympathy for Reiner, 18% were non-committal, and the remaining 60% felt strongly about him, it appears that seven months later those numbers have remained constant. People either like Reiner or they don’t, and no amount of effort on Isayama’s (or the poll co-creator's) part is going to change that.
I would steal all the stars in the sky so that Reiner can be happy I sWeAr 
Never flipped opinion on a character faster than when we started seeing Reiner in Marley
Still finding it hard to care what happens to any of these characters.  Apart from Reiner.  He needs a hug, a strong drink and a long vacation.
I feel sorry for Reiner but I kinda got desensitized after watching him suffer so many times. He almost beats Levi in the worst life ever competition. I feel exhausted just thinking his life and suffering will continue... I can barely feel any sadness for him anymore, I think he should probably get his final rest soon.
A lot of Reiner's flaws get overlooked lately because readers pity him. His selfishness led a lot of people to their deaths and even though he regrets it now it is too late and he deserves that suffering as karma. Other characters had it much worse and they didn't deserve that suffering (ie Eren) while Reiner brought it upon himself with his own choices. He should have listened to Bertholdt and Annie and stopped the mission after Marcel's death but he even threatened them to continue multiple times.
Reiner baby deserves all the good in this world. Isayama please give the boy a little bit of peace!!
  HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU CRIED ABOUT REINER’S HORRIBLE LIFE IN THIS ARC? 1,881 Responses
Tumblr media
While the majority have not metaphorically or otherwise shed tears for Reiner, 55.2% of the fandom have been touched by his story and for almost 30%, it’s been extreme.
I'm crying all day thinking about my sad Reiner ;-; he just want to disappear from the world. I want to hug him.
I have never loved a character quite like I love Reiner. Watching him break in front of Eren has been heart-wrenching. He wants judgement for his crimes, to help abate some of the guilt he feels so heavily… And Eren’s the only person that seems to understand him completely. I know Reiner isn’t long for this world anyway with the curse of Ymir, but I’m still holding out hope that before he dies he has a moment of peace and satisfaction.
  HAS EREN MADE YOU CRY IN THIS ARC? 1,883 Responses
Tumblr media
We felt like it was only fair to include this even though Eren hasn’t been presented as emotionally as Reiner in this arc. As a bonus, it allowed for us to acknowledge the two groups who were most vocal in the write-ins--the 18% who find Eren hot, and the 8% who are angry with him.
Eren has never been one of my favorites, but he's been breaking my heart almost as bad as Reiner in the past few chapters. He's come so far, and not really in a good way. If he's lost all hope, the relentless freedom chaser, we're heading for a truly dark end.
I'm sick of him.  I'm sick of his anger, I'm sick of his angst, I'm sick of his selfishness, and I'm sick of watching teenagers struggle.  Please bring my adult vets back.
I never thought that Eren would ever become close to sympathetic.
I cried my heart out when he told Reiner he understood him, his development just blew me away, I am so proud of this boy I want to cry again now. Let's wait till we understand his plan to pass any judgement over what he did.
  Since this is the 100th chapter of SNK, let’s take a moment to appreciate the improvement that Isayama’s art has undergone, specifically his character art and expressions. The fandom at large has been quite vocal on the attractiveness of the characters after the timeskip ...so, in your opinion,

WHICH PICTURE OF REINER IS THE MOST HANDSOME (OR THAT YOU LIKE THE BEST)? 1,869 Responses
Tumblr media
With so many handsome Reiners to choose from, I wish I could convey the agony my poll co-creator had in selecting these six images. The elimination process was intense and whether to include the booty pic probaby took years off her life.
As she’d predicted, Happy Daddy Reiner was declared most handsome! His full face was number two, and the last minute inclusion of the booty pic resulted in our number three.
Isayama will achieve perfection on drawing Reiner's asscrack showing through his clothes soon.
"Of course i’d pick the booty pic of Reiner. It’s not Erwin’s but with a little 👏🏼🌈Imaaaaagination👏🏼🌈 anything can be Erwin.

There was no way Eren’s Loréal Paradis wasn’t going to win this. Eren’s soft smile after Willy’s declaration of war was second.
THAT FLOWING HAIR DAMNNNN SON
This homeless look is working for him
Eren  has beautiful hair.
The panel where Eren is about to transform and Reiner looks at Falco in fear is the most badass panel in a long time. I could FEEL the YouSeeBigGirl sires just from looking at Eren's eyed in the panel
Eren, my ovaries are ready.
Eren's always been hot, I dunno why y'all think he's only been hot now, keep up! ;)
Damn we went from him being some courageous hot piece of ass to him being an older, smarter, and even hotter piece of ass even if he might be a bit emotionless
He's definitely Hobo Daddy™
  EREN’S ATTACK ON WILLY AND HIS CONVERSATION WITH REINER HAVE THE FANDOM DIVIDED. HOW WOULD YOU RATE HIS MORALITY ON A SCALE FROM “GENOCIDAL KILLER” TO “TOTALLY JUSTIFIED” 1,881 Responses
Tumblr media
Eren’s morality continues to be a point of contention in many discussions about the chapter, though a majority 83% find Eren’s actions morally neutral to justified. However, the write-ins in the following sections show a huge variation in opinions, with many being quite harsh on either end. Needless to say, everyone has something to say about Eren!
I don't think his actions are justified, but people calling him "genocidal killer" as he wanted to kill Falco and Reiner and all these people is quite idiot, i mean i didn't see any satisfaction on his eyes, while doing what he did. Just a " i need to do this, even if it is going to kill you"... This isn't  a intent of kill... to me is his determination to get his freedom. 
Someone, anyone, punch him for me, please.
I've seen how divided people are on Eren's behavior and his true motives, but I think we should all agree that Eren has grown out of the purely revenge-seeking hothead who constantly demonized his enemies. He now understands that they're all only human, but nonetheless he must do what needs to be done to save his people. I don't know at this point if Eren and Reiner will ever be on the same terms, but here's hoping they can all find forgiveness in the end.
Genocidal Bastard..still justified
He's a war criminal. Seriously, look it up.
Frankly, all this pearl clutching about how "evil" Eren is, is ridiculous, and just shows the willingness of certain part of the fandom to dunk on Eren at the drop of a hat. We don’t have the full contest of this scene yet, we don’t even know what Eren is trying to do, or why, we don’t even know with whom he is coordinating, but we know that he’s evil? Even when it’s been 2 chapters that Isayama is been hammering that Eren isn’t revenge obsessed anymore? But well, obviously that’s clearly Isayama’s intention, to toss out 24 vols. of character development for a cheap twist.
I think there's a reason behind what he's doing that is not even a little bit fueled by pure revenge.
I trust him. Something something greater good.
Still love him, he's my boi. Also this is a manga about war; there is no right or wrong. I think people forget that when pointing fingers at Eren for his actions. I highly doubt this was Eren's plan to begin with.
Eren did nothing wrong.
However justified Eren was or was not, innocent blood has been spilled due to his own actions, so whatever morale high ground Eren had is now gone.
He is a murder, plain and simple.
Feels like isayama's trying to make us believe that Eren is suddenly a bad guy. I ain't buying it.
I was rooting for you. WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU! HOW DARE U?! T_T
I'm so disapointed in him. I am forever the believier that things can be done diplomatically and he just fucked that up and killed a bunch of people. I get why he did it, doesn't mean I'm not super disappointed.
The chapter justifies my feelings towards Eren for months now. Glad some readers are starting to see him in a more realistic, less idealized light. He had civilians killed back in Stohess, remember.
  WAS EREN BEING SINCERE WITH REINER WHEN HE SAID HE UNDERSTOOD HIM? 1,880 Responses
Tumblr media
I do think that Eren meant the things he said in response and maybe even forgave him, but apparently regardless of his personal feelings, he's trying to do something very specific, granted the margin of whatever extra casualties there are. 
It seems like he still has this good core, but this story is highlighting that 'good' is relative. I thought he was quite sincere talking to Reiner, and Reiner's sincerity in return made me change my opinion of him (and I've hated him for ages).
It was so gratifying to see him say he understands Reiner and the other warriors finally. I've needed this understanding for so long. I'm so happy! Maybe it wasn't wholly sincere, but Eren's finally made the connection that Reiner, Bertholdt, and Annie were just kids too, that they were fed information and forced into doing something they didn't necessarily want to. He finally understands how similar they all are; how screwed they all were from the start. And I'm just really happy that he's finally reached that point.
  DO YOU BELIEVE THAT EREN INTENDED FOR REINER AND FALCO TO DIE IN THE BASEMENT? 1,878 Responses
Tumblr media
Pretty sure he's protecting Reiner and Falco. He made contact with Reiner before the transformation. I don't know why he'd shake his hand before transforming. That would make for a very odd titan transformation. Either that, or he purposely crushed him as he transformed. But I doubt it, this chapter was about Eren gauging Reiner's alignment, imo.
Eren better not have intended to kill Falco
I believe he probably used some hardening to save Falco and Reiner in the basement, or somehow made it so that Reiner was able to save Falco. I definitely believe they're alive and well. I'd like to draw attention to the last panel of the manga, where it shows Eren's titan hands LITERALLY covered in blood. Emphasized, I believe, because Isayama is a master in symbolism and meaning.
I actually really like his eerily-calm demeanour. But I'll be so upset if he killed Reiner and Falco.
I really can't wrap my head around Eren killing Falco and I don't believe he did, its so unlike him. The whole events leading up to the transformation was beyond peculiar with Reiner snatching his hand back and looking horrified at Falco just before Eren transforms. I swear for some moments I was getting Grisha vibes from Eren and his Titan form.
I really hope Reiner has protected Falco, because he has survived worse things.
My personal belief so far is that from the get go Eren intended on using his hardening abilities to shield Reiner and Falco...with the plethora of parallels to the Reiss cave already in place, I dont think its too far fetched (or Im just in denial lmao)
Well he's clearly not fucking around. FWIW, I still think he did something to prevent Reiner/Falco from being instakilled

  DO YOU BELIEVE EREN’S LETTER WAS ADDRESSED TO ZEKE? 1,867 Responses
Tumblr media
We first asked this question with chapter 98. At the time 86% believed Zeke was the recipient of Eren’s letter. That number is now down to 61%. I suspect the use of the word “comrade” has dissuaded  some people.   DO YOU BELIEVE ZEKE AND EREN ARE WORKING TOGETHER? 1,874 Responses
Tumblr media
This question was also asked with chapter 98. the number of people who believe in an Eren/Zeke alliance have only fractionally changed.
I'm glad we finally got some clarity regarding who is on what side, even though Zeke is still  a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma. I feel like Zeke is playing both sides of the fence, but also has his own little plan going and might doublecross everyone in the end.
He had inside info. Had to be Zeke
So Trapdoor-kun told Zeke to go in the front door yet here we see him still walking around the streets. Very suspicious and makes me believe the theory that he's working with Eren/Paradis Crew
Anyone considered the possibility that it might be Colt who's in touch with Eren and not Zeke? After all, he's played baseball too, and he's related to a deceased Eldian Restorationist.
  ANY OTHER THOUGHTS ON EREN THIS CHAPTER? 626 Responses
He is clearly in his grunge/alternative-rock phase and just want to show to the world that he is edgy af. We've all been there.
I try very hard not to think about Eren at all tbh.
HOT DAMN EREN. Not too sure what I love the most! His looks of his growth as a character. This new Eren is a blessing. For better of for worse, we can all agree that Eren's change is amazing. Can't wait to see more of him!
baby's all grown up and meeting DSM-5 criteria for like seven different psychiatric diagnoses
Never liked Eren. Am a fan now. Give me a problematic murder boi and I’m fucking in.
He's certainly matured, not prone to regular angry outbursts like when he was 15. Now Eren is extremely controlled, the master of making grown men cry and his angry outburst is busting through a building in Titan form!
I loved seeing how much Eren has grown up. He's a far cry from the angry young boy he was at the start of the series. But on a final note, I think this chapter may be the one that finally sold me on this arc. I'm really enjoying seeing the (sometimes vastly) different political and moral motivations for the various (new and old) characters!
Had no choice after Willy’s declaration of war.
The willingness to sacrifice the lives of innocents is nothing new for the sc (see: armin's comment during the uprising) regardless of your feelings on its morality. Eren appears to have grown enough to accept that sometimes its necessary for whatever greater plan he (and the sc?) have right now. But the idea that eren wants to kill these innocent people or is still just out for revenge goes against all the development of his perspective that we see in his conversation with Reiner (which I believe is genuine). And there's no indication that he sees all marleyans as the enemy that must be destroyed. So Eren''s actions sit right in the moral ambiguity zone that isa is so fond of, but we can't say he's just some angry murderous genocidal kid (especially since we don't know anything about Paradis's full plan)
I understand his hate towards the country that made hell of his life (and of his beloved ones' libes too), but continuing this cyrcle of violence isn't the right solution. This isn't what the Scouts had died for, so I'm really hoping he isn't working with them anymore because it'd be an insult to all their efforts.
I was hoping he wouldn't take this route, but I don't think I can blame him for choosing it.
Initially I was torn about his decision, I didn't see it coming and didn't think it matched what he had been saying the past few chapters. But, this is war, and he must protect his loved ones. So I've come around to accept it. Oh, and that panel with his hair going up before he transformed is EPIC.
Is Eren playing the game, or is he still a pawn? He still has anger issues but I hope he has just learned to use them productivity.
I will admit he has matured since we last saw him as a teenager, but I believe he has turned that rage on the outside into something awful and gut-wrenching on the inside. He manipulated Falco and basically mentally tortured Reiner. The man may have matured... But he is not sane.
I'm conflicted, I was hoping he had a more elaborate plan than "kill 'em" after his speech to Reiner.
I’m gonna be honest here and say that eren has been one of my least favorite characters since I joined this fandom. I just saw him as this annoying, stupid, revenge-fueled kid. but suddenly he’s kinda started growing on me. we’ll see where this goes...
I'm impressed with his maturity and hope we get to see more of the backstory to his growth.
I'm very disappointed. I loved Eren.
I'm yours, Eren. All yours.
I'm sad he can't grow a beard
Sad that he has to keep compromising his humanity in order to save his people but also kinda proud of how much he has grown up.
I find it sad, and yet a sign of maturity, that he carries out the Attack on Willy out of perceived need to do so rather than desire.
It wish things would've turned out different. You can tell Erem is hurting just as much as Reiner. None of them are villains in my opinion
Please after this attack let Eren cut his god damn hair I CAN'T take looking at that hobo hair anymore IT ONLY LOOKS GOOD IN CERTAIN ANGLES I WILL EVEN TAKE HIS EMO MULLET FROM CHAPTER 90 JUST GET RID OF THAT HAIR AND THAT FACIAL HAIR TOO IT DOESNT LOOK RIGHT!
Step on me, Eren? Does that count?
Eren over the past few chapters has been incredibly interesting to me. For a character I found annoying from the start, made peace with, and then utterly disliked after the serum bowl, it’s been wonderful to find something else to latch onto for his character. I love this cold fire he has. He’s become an emotionally broken man who has shaken morality, turned into something he hates. The parallels between him and Reiner are honestly genius, and I love Isayama for giving us such nuanced and complicated characters in Eren and Reiner.
We love and appreciate Eren in this house.
What an incredible progression for this young man who started out as an unbearable kid with anger-management issues. I'm loving the new Eren to be quite honest. Plus he's hot.
the old eren definitely can't come to the phone
You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villian.
  ANY BETS ON WHETHER REINER AND FALCO SURVIVED THE BLAST FROM EREN’S TRANSFORMATION? 1,875 Responses
Tumblr media
A majority vote think that both Reiner and Falco will survive to see 101 (and god I hope we’re right).
I honestly hope Reiner protected Falco from the blast of Wren's transformation, I truly feel while deep down inside he hates himself - he couldn't stand to see another person, let alone a kid, get killed. So I hope for the best for the Warriors and the Warrior Cadets.
Honestly, I think Reiner's plot armor is too thick for him to die, not sure about Falco tho.
I really hope Eren's and Reiner's handshake was some magic bamboozle shit to protect Reiner and Falco. Please be alive boys :'(
Set-up for Reiner holding Falco's broken body next chapter.
  DO YOU THINK WILLY REALLY IS THE WARHAMMER TITAN? 1,874 Responses
Tumblr media
I highly doubt that Willy is the Warhammer Titan tbh. It just- doesn’t seem right? The commander that was talking to Willy at the beginning of the chapter (forgot his name oops) probably is since he’s shown sympathy towards the Eldians and also laid out 99% of the strategy to Willy. So Willy may be a decoy with who truly owns the power.
Villi himself said he saw the memories of Warhammer Titan so this kinda confirms he is, but maybe he was used as a vait bc warhammer titan is too powerful to risk and he was a puppet. Who knows!
Tall Guard is Warhammer Titan
Kiyomi is the Warhammer Titan
Warhammer titan doesn't exist.
The real War Hammer Titan is the friends we made along the way
  DO YOU THINK WILLY IS DEAD? 1,872 Responses
Tumblr media
 Willy is an interestingly captivating character. A man who is full of self hatred and doubt, who tries to make the best of his bad situation, who also ends up sacrificing his own life to be taken seriously. Wow. Not saying he's a good person, but he's mighty interesting. Or, "was". Thanks, ERIN.
Honestly, I feel angry about Willy's death. Well, not sure if he is dead but probably he is or will be. I feel he was not 100% bad person, he had a lot of feelings and emotions inside. When he was crying while saying he didn't want to die, I felt that he was telling it to Eren. Willy was one of the characters I liked and I wanted him to cooperate with SC. Seeing him killed pissed me off really a lot. Does Isayama really MUST kill all my fav characters? Maybe he feels pleasure of killing good-written chars and leaving the most plain ones and the ones I don't give a crap about.

  HOW BADLY DO YOU WANT TO RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL CAST ON PARADIS? 1,871 Responses
Tumblr media
With so much Eren in this chapter, there’s still a good amount of thirst to see the Paradis cast! Of those who chose option 5, we’re down from 38.1% last month to 35.9%, but you wouldn’t be able to tell that from the amount of write-ins we received begging for certain characters to return!
I really have a problem with the ask "How baldy do you want to return to the original cast on paradis?" because i highly suspect that the original cast is in marley but also want to return to their pov so badly! What should i answer? 
Main casts. Main casts. Main casts. Main casts. Main casts. Main casts. Main casts. Main casts. Main casts. Main casts. Main casts. Main casts. Main casts. Main casts. Main casts. Main casts. Main casts. Main casts. Main casts. Main casts. Main casts.

*insert the most epic of Sawano tracks*
Woke AF. Adopting other shifter personality traits (scratching his ear like Zeke) possibly because PATHS?
"I will just keep moving forward until my enemies are destroyed" I dread the meaning behind this line because if "destroying his enemies" is like what happened to Willy then Eren is going down a very dangerous road.
*breaths in* *exhales* BOI
SO GLAD THAT I WON BINGO ON GRIM REMINDER 2.0. Thank you Isayama for the craziest ride to chapter 100! It's been fun, frightening, saddening and honestly, the best thing that has ever happened in my life. It's thanks to Isayama that I met so many amazing friends and experienced so many emotions that only he could ever create. I've been reading since chapter 49, and I will continue until the end.
I really miss Levi and Erwin.  Seeing them in the fake preview from the new volume brought tears to my eyes... it was so nice to see Erwin so peaceful and calm.  Part of me is glad that he's not seeing this shitshow, but I get the feeling that he would have come up with a better plan for dealing with the Tyburs than EREN SMASH! EREN ANGRY >:E
Man. Chapter 100. SnK has come a loooong way
Marley arc and especially this chapter have been a blessing so far, loving every second of it. I hope this arc will continue as is, seeing how well written it seems to be already. May the suffering of Reigner continue
If Annie dies off screen (aka gets Ymir'd) I will be indescribably upset
If Annie is now a comrade of the Paradis people after Eren successing on freeing her, I'm going to eat my pants for breakfast.
Is it me or does the Attack Titan looks a bit different (bulkier/bigger?)
Isayama and his brilliant parallels
Isayama hear my call please show me Hange Zoe I just need her back I need to see her again
Kudos to Isayama for being able to keep this story so engaging.
Magath reminds me a lot of Keith Shadis. He knows that he has sent so many people to death, regrets lots of things, and has started to think differently. He could be an interesting "boss", since some of us always expected Keith to be "bad".
Porco and Pieck are going to be in that pit long enough they're gonna need that little training potty. D:
When Eren cited Marley indoctrination following the word "but" on pg. 26, it told me unambiguously Eren admitted RBA & Warriors are more justified than he since he made a note of that difference. Funny how much of the fandom believed Marley Warriors cannot be justified, forgiven, etc., at all until Eren says 'me, too.' Then suddenly, "Eren's justified! He's just doing an job now!" sans RBA's tremendous guilt, esp. Bert & Reiner's.
IMAGINE FALCO TRYING TO WAKE UP THE IMPALED REINER THEN RUNNING OFF TO SAEV GABI THEN REINER REMENISING AND THINKING ABOUT WHAT EREN'S GONNA DO TO THE PEOPLE HE LOVES AND GOING "I'LL EXTERMINATE THEM, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM" THEN TRANSFORM THEN PUNCH EREN IN THE FACE.
Really epic okay, still left me with a bit of bitterness because it showed how Eren isn't changed in better but only believes in violence. It is madness and cruelty with no end. How sad
Reiner being the main character is the best thing in this manga. Porco migh sacrifice himself to save Reiner from Eren during their titan fight after getting more of his memories back (Eren eats Porco). Enraged, Reiner finally manages to get the advantage over Eren and eats Eren. Thus, Reiner succeeds in having 4 of the shifter powers in his control. Eventually Reiner will seek his own path separate from Paradise and the World itself.
That duck shaped potty thing, what the actual heck??? Is that what that was??? Anywho, this chapter had an interesting moment after Reiner's explanations of his actions. That alongside Willy's desire to live were the most powerful points in the chapter.... The panel where he begins to transform, he has a look of enhanced determination as opposed to desire to snap the olive branch. That in context to the whole conversation, it just makes it seem unlikely. But then, this is SNK. We'll see what happens.
The Guy with the newspaper who is he ?
The illustration in those last few pages was AMAZING. Maybe the best panels I've seen in the manga.
The way Eren listened to Willy's speech and was reconsidering his actions because of the line "I was born in this world" but then closing his eyes and accepting what he had to do after the declaration was chilling.
The whole thing got complicated all of a sudden. I still can't believe Paradis elaborated complex navigation in 3 years. We don't kniw what happened there, but no way they're on par with Marley. Who the hell is this trapdoor guy?
This chapter is THE bomb. It made me cry and smile like crazy. Isayama sure knows what he's doing. Can't wait for 101.
Even though i love the chapter, my issue is still same. Pacing is so slow! I felt this even more at the end of the chapter. Villi screaming "They're only Eldians!" to Magath was totally sick. Also Eren's crazy smile when he shaked hands with reiner..... damn it. I know reiner is fine and well, but i am scared for falco and rest.....
This chapter was amazing from a thematic and character standpoint. I hope that now that the action is beginning we'll get to see trapdoor-kun's identity and the rest of the sc soon.
This chapter was amazing. The way the chapter ended left me (once again) shaking in my seat. Isayama knows how to write his manga, kudos to him!
This chapter was the climax of Reiner and Eren's latest developments, I can tell the story is gonna kick into overdrive soon, and I can't wait.
This is a story about war, there will be lines crossed and sacrifices made. I learned not to label characters and their actions so carelessly without trying to put myself in their shoes or at least try to decipher what caused/pushed them to act as such. So to see other readers so ready to condemn Eren (and the rest of the walldians) as evil is ridiculous - especially after reading the tribulations Eren and the rest has gone through. I do not and will condone or support his actions if he does cause collateral damage, but at this point I'm just going to be on the neutral and observe how this story will unravel. With how things are going, I think...in the end, no one will get a decent happy ending here...perhaps some fool's hope.
This is a long poll
(You’re telling me!!!!)
    Since the third Bessatsu Shonen popularity poll was released along with this chapter, we thought we'd ask your opinion...
WHAT BEST MATCHES YOUR THOUGHTS ON ERWIN BEING THE WINNER? 1,786 Responses
Tumblr media
32.3% of you are my people and an additional 42.2% are welcome to eat at my table. There was lots of love for Erwin here, but Kasch and I were both a little surprised at amount of salt. I read it. I’m not including it. (And some of ya'll trashed my guy and added your names 😱 )
Look at this smart person:
Lol i'm not trashing Erwin on fucking momtaku's poll I'm not dumb or a jackass
Thank you for not being dumb or a jackass 👍!
Happily, there were some really great, smart, funny and probably beautiful people who smell nice and have lots of friends who included comments about Erwin’s win:
Erwins a great character and a handsy boy. He totally deserves it haha xD Rip Commander Eyebrows
He deserved it and I love Levi's expression that both asks his fans why they let him down but is also so proud and happy for Erwin!
He deserves it but his massive lead over Levi is surprising. Season 2 still fresh in people's minds, I suppose.
his eyebrows should have been #1
While Erwin deserves it his top place was probably a last homage from the fans. I found it strange that the poll numbers were so low compared to the other polls tho!
I'm guessing he won because of how cool and what a great leader he was this season in the anime and also from the manga readers still being bitter and enraged by the serum bowl? Erwin is definitely in top 10 interesting characters for me.
And a few more comments worth including:
Actually, I'm not even mad, I'm amazed that 2 dead people have the first and last positions....
I loved that fans were rabid enough to vote for a dude who died last year. If nothing else, that's some mighty fine trolling.

A poll with only 6000 votes is not considerable neither representative of the fandom reality
At least it wasn't Levi.
Hanji Zoe deserves 1st place smh
Bertholt and mikasa are tie fighters now?
I wish that Ymir or Historia at least made it into the Top 10.
ANNIE WASN'T ON THE TOP 10, WTF, THIS IS A TRAGEDY
  AND LASTLY FOR MY POLL CO-CREATOR, BECAUSE SHE WON’T LET ME OUT OF THIS LOCKED BASEMENT ROOM UNLESS I INCLUDE THIS, HOW SAD ARE YOU THAT REINER IS 9TH? 1,766 Responses

Sincerely I think Reiner deserves the first place because his character has really shown emotional depth this chapters.
I'm upset! the guy is already dead. Reiner really deserve it this time
Suffering and begging for death in the manga, 9th in the popularity poll... it's okay, I still love you, Reiner ; _ ;
If you made it to the end of this, thank you! See you next month!

SUPERNATURAL: Olivia Parker: Wendigo
Words count: 11K
A/N: Sorry for posting this part on Tumblr this late! It’s been on wattpad since Sunday and I had no time to post it here! I posted the other day that I had no access to internet, so the chapter three “Dead In The Water” would be posted later, well, turns out internet is back and working! So I can get back on this new chapter and post it either Sunday or Monday! 
Feedback always appreciated! If you want to be tagged, feel free to ask! 
Warning: Blood, injuries, insults, angst, violence. 
PREVIOUS PARTS: Pilot
NEXT PARTS: Dead In The Water  — Phantom Traveler — Bloody Mary — Skin — Hook Man — The Fight — Home
Previously on Olivia Parker...
In one of the several suburban homes, Olivia Parker was sitting on her bed in the darkened bedroom, looking at her closet that opened itself, making Olivia scream.
In another home, Mary Winchester runs up the stairs into her youngest son's, Sam, nursery. John Winchester gives baby Sam to Dean, "Take your brother outside as fast as you can! Now, Dean, go!"
After Olivia's mother, Caitlyn closed the doors; it once again opened itself. A silhouette comes out of it; it looks around until it spots what it was looking for. The shape walks to the wooden desk and takes a picture of Olivia and her parents. "It has begun."
Dean runs downstairs with Sam and leaves the house. John goes back to the nursery and watches his wife, Mary burn on the ceiling. "Mary! No!" John watches the nursery burn, Mary with it.
31st October 2000.
Olivia was now older, dressed in black, looking at herself in a mirror. Her mother looks at her, "Are you ready?", "Yes. As ready as I can be on the day I bury my husband and child."
Olivia stayed until the end of the ceremony when everyone had left, she kneels down, "I'm going to find what did this to you and I'm going to kill it, no matter what it takes."
October 31st, 2005.
Sam watches his brother that was in his and Jess, his girlfriend, apartment. "Dad's on a hunting trip, and he hasn't been home in a few days." Sam put his arm off of his girlfriend, keeping his eyes on Dean, "Jess, excuse us."
In the stairwell from Sam's apartment, Sam speaks to Dean, "I swore I was done hunting. For good.", "I can't do this alone."
In Sam's bedroom, Jess speaks to Sam. "And now you're taking off in the middle of the night to spend the weekend with them?", "Hey. Everything's going to be okay. I promise."
"You think Mom would have wanted this for us?" Asks Sam.
In John's motel room, Sam looks at the photo John left of the three Winchesters.
"Dean, we were raised like warriors."
Olivia smiled and tilted her head, "Did you really think I would be this stupid? Come on, show me some respect." As she finished her sentence, Olivia swung her machete, beheading the vampire. "Eat this, bitch."
Olivia was in her Black 1965 Buick Riviera Gran Sport, blood on her face and clothes.
"I'm so sorry..."
Olivia sits on the bed in her motel room and dials the number of her mother. "Hey, mom. — Work is busy lately. I might stay for a little bit longer." She takes out a journal and a pen, 'November 1st, 2005. Still nothing. I killed another nest of vampire. If they knew something about the accident, they would have never told me. I  need to find what killed Conor and Joey.  But for that, I need to find John Winchester. "
Olivia was in front of a house that looked abandoned. The flashback of the night of the accident hit her. Her son looked outside, "Mom who is in the yard?" Olivia went outside and put herself in front of the man, "I said, get out. If I find you here again, I will kill you. You understand me?" The man left.          Olivia was sitting at a table with her husband, Conor who as sitting in front of her. "He didn't move, not until I put myself in front of him. He was fixing Joey's bedroom.", "Well, just to be safe, keep your gun next to you." Olivia looks up at her husband. "What do you think, Conor? I have it on me, loaded.", "It's not your fault, Livy.", "He was not human. Trust me."          "I gave up hunting, Conor. But my instincts are still there.", "This man, whether he's human or not, is not here because of you.", "Well, I won't wait to find out. I may not be in the life anymore, but I'm not stupid, I didn't erase every number.", "Who are you going to call?", "John Winchester. After all, he's the one who trained me."
"This is John Winchester. I can't be reached. If this is an emergency, call my son Dean 866-907-3235."
A drop of blood falls on Olivia's shoulder then other ones. She looks up and sees her husband and child on the ceiling. "No!" John arrives and sees the fire starting, "Olivia! Come on let's get out.", "No! I can't leave them there!"
"How did you know?", "One call was enough to know you were in trouble.", "What happened back there, it's the same thing that happened to you, to Mary.", "We're going to find it, I promise.", "I know. Even if it is the last thing I do."
"You have responsibilities, Sam!", "To Dad? And his crusade? Even if we do find the thing that killed her, Mom's gone. And she isn't coming back." Dean grabs Sam by the collar and shoves him up against the railing of the bridge. "Don't talk about her like that."
Olivia was inside the Impala with Sam, they were talking to Dean on the phone, "Dad's gone. I've got his journal. He left me a message."
Sam compares the coordinates in the journal to a map. "These coordinates he left us, it's weird, man."
Sam, Dean, and Olivia were in John's motel room that he abandoned. "Hey, Dean? What I said earlier, I'm sorry." Dean raises a hand, "no chick-flick moments."
"If I were Dad, though, I'd go ask her husband," "If he's still alive." Sam and Dean tun around and see Olivia standing at the door. "Olivia!" Sam frowns, "wait, Olivia? Parker?"
Olivia walks over to Sam, "You know, despite everything John said to you, he was damn proud of you, Sammy.", "I guess so."
"Jess?" Sam is in his apartment, lying on the bed, eyes closed. Blood drips on his forehead, and he flinches, opens his eyes, and gasps in horror. Jess was pinned to the ceiling, bleeding. "No!"
Dean watches outside Sam's apartment the firefighters handle the situation, then goes back to Sam and Olivia at the Impala. Sam finishes loading a shotgun and tosses it in the trunk.
"We've got work to do." Sam shuts the trunk.
Today — Lost Creek, Colorado.
In the forest, two tents were set up near a fire ring. Crickets were chirping. Inside one tent, two young men, Brad and Gary, were playing head-to-head handheld video games. "Dude, you're cheating." Gary smirks, "no, you  just suck." Something growls outside. In the other tent, a third young man, Tom Collins, records a video message on his cell phone. "Hey Haley, day six, we're still out near Blackwater Ridge." Something dark flicks behind the tent wall behind Tom, too fast to be identifiable as more than 'something dark'; but as Tom was recording himself, it also recorded the fast silhouette. "We're fine, keeping safe, so don't worry, okay? Talk to you tomorrow." Tom stops recording and sends the message.          Brad closes his game system and tosses it aside. Gary stares at his system for a moment, then turns to look at Brad, who is getting up and unzipping the tent.  Gary looks at him, "hey, where ya goin'? My moment of victory.", "Nature calls." Brad goes outside and zips up the sent behind him. He goes to stand against the tree to relieve himself. The fire crackles. Something snaps a stick. Brad looks towards the sound and sees the trees rustling. Brad shakes his head and returns his attention downward, then looks up sharply. Something growls.          Inside Tom's tent, Tom, who is reading Joseph Campbell's 'The Hero With A Thousand Faces,' hears Brad scream.          Inside Gary's tent, Gary hears the same scream and rolls over. "Brad?"          Tom sits up. "Gary, what's goin' on?"         Gary opens the tent and sticks his head out to look around. He sees nothing. Then he hears growling again. He looks up; something pulls Gary out of the tent. He screams.          Tom turns out the lantern he had on. Shadows move very quickly around the outside of Tom's tent. Tom looks around, his eyes following the shadows and growling. Silence falls. Something slashes open Tom's tent, making him scream.
Olivia and Dean were in the Impala that was parked not so far from the cemetery where Sam was walking. Olivia was shotgun and Dean in the driver seat. Olivia looks at Sam then looks in front of her, fixing her eyes on a tree. Dean shifted his gaze from Sam to Olivia and then looked at Olivia. They didn't have the time or the chance to talk. Dean felt terrible for not giving her any news, just one text to make sure she knew he was alive wouldn't take long, he thought. But then again, did she want this text? Dean takes a deep breath and looks where Olivia's eyes are fixed. "How are you feeling?" Olivia gives a side glance at Dean then looks ahead. "Usual." Dean doesn't answer. "You know, Dean. You gotta stop beating yourself up. I know you were out searching for John." She looks at him. "I should have at least called." Olivia shrugs. "It's true. So should I." They look back at Sam that was wearing a suit and tie, carrying a bouquet of various flowers. "This thing took too much from us. We have to find it and kill it." Dean nods. "I know.", "Something happened to John. You know it like me." Olivia turns and looks at Dean once again. "Wherever he would go, he would have his gun and this journal. Something happened.", "I know. It's like he left his legacy. Like he's saying goodbye. Do you think we're going to find him?", "I hope. I think we've lost enough. We're going to kill this son of a bitch, and if we have to go in a blaze of glory, I say let's do it."          Sam sighs and stops next to Jessica's gravestone. On the tombstone was written 'Jessica Lee Moore,' 'Beloved Daughter,' 'January 24th, 1984 — November 2nd, 2005'. There is a small picture of a grinning Jess set into the stone above name, a black-and-white photograph of her leaning against the stone between a white teddy bear. And a wooden box with a crucifix leaning on the picture a small American Flag next to the box, and three candles standing on the gravestone; one is of the Virgin de Guadalupe. Sam looks between the headstone and the flowers. "I, uh…" Sam laughs. "You always said roses were — were lame, so I brought you, uh…" Sam looks at the picture set into the gravestone, then looks away, choking back tears. He steps closer to the gravestone. "Jess…oh God…" Sam kneels to set down the flowers. "I should have protected you. I should have told you the truth." Sam leans the flowers in front of the crucifix. An arm covered in dirt shoots out of the ground and grabs Sam by the wrist.          Sam jerks awake. He's in the backseat, Dean and Olivia were talking. Dean looks in the rearview mirror, "You okay?" Sam glances over and away. "Yeah, I'm fine." Dean nods and brings focus on the road. "Another nightmare?" Sam clears his throat. "You wanna drive for a while?" Sam and Olivia laugh. "Dean, your whole life, you never once asked me that.", "Just thought you might want to. Never mind.", "You're missing an occasion, Sam!" Sam smiles at Olivia and looks at his hands. Olivia and Dean glance at each other, having a silent conversation about Sam's state. Sam didn't miss it, "Look, guys, you're worried about me. I get it and thank you, but I'm perfectly okay." Olivia and Dean agree at the same time, "Mm-hm." Sam grabs the map in front of Olivia and goes back to his seat. "All right, where are we?" Olivia turns and looks at the map; she puts her finger where they are, "Just outside of Grand Junction." Then sits correctly on her seat, feet on the dashboard. Sam folds down the map, which is of Colorado and has a large red cross labeled 35-111. "You know what? Maybe we shouldn't have left Stanford so soon." Dean sighs, "Sam, we dug around there for a week. We came up with nothing. If you want to find the thing that killed Jessica—", "—We got to find Dad first.", "Dad disappearing and this thing showing up again after twenty years, it's no coincidence. Dad will have answers for the three of us. He will know what to do." Sam frowned when Dean said for the three of them, not understanding what he meant. Dean didn't tell Olivia's story to Sam. If she wanted him to know, she would tell him. Until then he would keep the secret. "These coordinates he left us, this Blackwater Ridge." Olivia slightly moves in her seat, enough to be facing Sam. "What about it?", "Why is he sending us to the middle of nowhere." Olivia looks at Dean. Sam was making a point. All of this made no sense.          They drive past the National Forest sign that says, 'Welcome to LOST CREEK Colorado National Forest.'
The Impala is parked next to a sign that says 'Ranger Station Lost Creek Trail, Lost Creek National Forest.'          "So Blackwater Ridge is pretty remote." Sam looks at a 3D map of the national forest, paying particular attention to the ridge labeled 'BLACKWATER RIDGE.' Dean looks at the decorations. "It's cut off by these canyons here, rough terrain, dense forest, abandoned silver and gold mines all over the place.", "Dude," Dean was smiling. "check out the size of this freaking bear." Sam and Olivia look over. Dean was looking at a framed photo of a man standing behind a much larger bear. Sam comes to stand next to Dean while Olivia stays close to the window looking outside. "And a dozen or more grizzlies in the area. It's no nature hike, that's for sure."          A forest ranger, Wilkinson, walk up behind them; when he speaks, Sam, Dean, and Olivia whip around startled. "You guys aren't planning on going out near Blackwater Ridge by any chance?" The three of them shake their heads. Olivia walks in front of his desk. "No. We are environmental study majors from UC Boulder, just working on a paper." Olivia smiles, Sam laughs, and Dean grins, raising a fist. "Recycle, man." The Ranger rolls his eyes, "Bull." Sam's eyes flick to Dean, who doesn't move. Olivia does not give away any sign, she was impossible to read, thought the Ranger. "You're friends with that Haley girl, right?" Dean considers. "Yes. Yes, we are, Ranger—" Dean checks the Ranger's nametag. "Wilkinson.", "Well, I will tell you exactly what we told her. Her brother filled out a backcountry permit saying he wouldn't be back from Blackwater until the twenty-fourth, so it's not exactly a missing person now, is it?" Olivia sighs, Dean shakes his head, and the Ranger nods. "You tell that girl to quit worrying. I'm sure her brother's just fine.", "We will. Well, that Haley girl's quite a pistol, huh?" Dean laughs a little at the end of his sentence. The Ranger nods at Dean. "That is putting it mildly." Before they leave, Oliva frowns and takes a step closer. "Ranger, you know what would help a lot? It's if we could show her a copy of that backcountry permit. You know so she could see her brother's return date." The Ranger eyes Olivia, "I can't do that.", "Well," Olivia takes out a fake FBI ID, "you can. But then again, it's up to you. We'd totally get it if you don't give us the paper."
Sam, Dean, and Olivia leave the ranger station. Dean is holding the piece of paper Olivia got them, laughing. "Got to tell you something, Olivia. That was beautiful." Sam nods. "Yeah. Well, you guys heard it. It's not a missing person case.", "I still think we should go see this girl." Says Dean while looking at the paper. "What, are you cruising for a hookup or something?", "What do you mean?", "The coordinates point to Blackwater Ridge, so what are we waiting for? Let's just go find Dad. I mean, why even talk to this girl?" They stop when they arrive at the Impala. "I don't know. Maybe we should know what we're walking into before we actually walk into it?" Dean and Olivia were looking at Sam. "What?" Olivia frowned and faced Sam, "Since when are you adopting John's way? Shoot first ask questions later?", "Since now." Olivia raises her eyebrows and looks at Dean. "Really?" Dean goes around the car and gets inside.          Olivia's phone rings, she takes it out of her pocket and answers. "Yes? — It's me. — Hey, Bobby. — Sure, what can I do for you? — What happened? — What do you think it is? — Yeah sounds about right. — Okay, I'm coming. — Yeah. — Don't mention it." She hung up and looks at Dean. "You will have to drop me at the motel.", "What did Bobby want?", "Werewolves nest. I'm going to help him." Dean looks at Olivia then back on the road. "You sure you should go alone?", "I won't be alone. Bobby will be here. And you seem to forget that I've been hunting alone for a moment."          Dean stopped the car at the motel room; they got out of it. Sam and Dean stood against the Impala while Olivia was taking her duffel bag off of the Impala to her Riviera passenger seat. She closes the door and walks to Sam and Dean, hands in her jacket's pocket. "Don't be a stranger, give me some news this time." Dean laughs and nods. "You got this. C'mere." Olivia puts her hands out of her pockets and hugs Dean. Dean talks low, enough for only Olivia to hear it. "You be careful out there. The thing's still out." Olivia nods and goes to Sam. "Don't do anything stupid, or anything that Dean would do." Sam laughs and nods, "Yes ma'am.", "Okay. Come here, don't make me beg for it." Sam laughs again and hugs Olivia. She lets go and get into her car, turning on the engine. Dean closes his eyes. "Ohh," he reopens them and looks at Olivia, "almost as beautiful as Baby's engine.", "Don't compare two queens, Winchester." Sam and Dean wave at Olivia while she leaves the parking lot. They get back in the Impala, driving to the girl's house.
Sam and Dean are standing at the door to a house. The door opens to reveal Haley Collins. "You must be Haley Collins. I'm Dean; this is Sam, we're, ah, we're rangers with the Park Service. Ranger Wilkinson sent us over. He wanted us to ask a few questions about your brother Tommy." Haley hesitates. "Let me see some ID." Dean pulls out a fake ID with the name Samuel Cole and holds it up against the screen. Haley looks at it, then at Dean, who smiles. Haley opens the door. "Come on in.", "Thanks." The door swings open; Haley catches sight of the Impala. "That yours?", "Yeah." Sam is looking back at the Impala. "Nice car." Haley turns to lead Sam and Dean into the kitchen, where Ben Collins is sitting at the table on a laptop. Dean turns his head to mouth something to Sam, who rolls his eyes.          "So," begins Sam "if Tommy's not due back for a while, how do you know something's wrong?" Haley comes back into the room with a bowl she places on the table. "He checks in every day by cell. He emails, photos, stupid little videos — we haven't heard anything in over three days now.", "Well, maybe he can't get cell reception.", "He's got a satellite phone, too.", "Could it be he is just having fun and forgot to check in?", "He wouldn't do that." Dean eyes Ben, then Ben looks away. Haley puts more food on the table. "Our parents are gone. It's just my two brothers and me. We all keep pretty close tabs on each other.", "Can I see the pictures he sent you?" Haley nods at Sam, "Yeah." On a laptop, Haley pulls up pictures. "That's Tommy." Haley clicks twice, and another picture comes up, then the still frame opening the latest video. "Hey Haley, day six, we're still out near Blackwater Ridge. We're fine, keeping safe, so don't worry, okay? Talk to you tomorrow." Sam spots the shadow flicking past. "Well," starts Dean "we will find your brother. We're heading out to Blackwater Ridge first thing.", "Then maybe I'll see you there. Look, I can't sit around here anymore. So I hired a guy. I'm heading out in the morning. And I'm going to find Tommy myself.", "I think I know how you feel.", "Hey," cuts off Sam "do you mind forwarding these to me?", "Sure."
Olivia parks in front of a motel, she takes her phone, goes to the message Bobby sent her with the number of the room. "450." She turns off the engine, takes her duffel bag and walks to Bobby's room. She knocks three times, pause for five seconds and knocks two more times. Bobby opens the door and smiles. "Hey, Kiddo. Thanks for coming.", "Sure." She enters the room, puts the duffel bag on the ground. "So what do we got?", "So far, three bodies with hearts missing.", "Yeah, so it's definitely werewolves.", "Yeah. But wait for it, they've got a type.", "What type?" Bobby looks at Olivia and raises his left eyebrow. Olivia sighs. "I'm going to play the bait, again? Come on Bobby; it's like you really want me to die." Bobby laughs. "Not my fault if you're the supernatural kind's type!", "Yeah, what can I say. Got everything for everyone. Alright, what's your plan, Singer?", "Easy. You will go to the local bar—", "One thing, this time, I don't have to wear a skirt that could almost be mistaken as my underwear?", "Nope. Just have to sit down and order a drink and wait for it.", "Fine. I will take a shower and rub the hunter smell off of me, and dress a little bit differently." Olivia takes her duffel bag and makes her way to the bathroom. "Oh, Olivia." She turns around, "How's Sam?" Olivia sighs. "Honestly? Bad. He's acting a lot like John when Mary died. Shoot first ask questions later. We already have John missing, and a mini John on the way. He's going to get himself and probably Dean, killed." Bobby sighs loudly, worried. "Sorry to bring you bad news Bob'.", "And you?", "What me?", "How are you handling?", "Bobby, it's been years you've been asking this question. You know the answer. I won't rest until I pull a damn bullet in the thing's head. After I do this, ask the question again, and I will see which answer to give." Olivia turns around and closes the bathroom door behind her. Bobby shakes his head and opens a beer, takes a big sip of it, "Those kids will be the death of me."
Sam and Dean sit down at a table in a bar. Dean takes his phone and dials Olivia's number. It goes straight to voicemail. "Hi, it's Olivia Parker. I can't be reached for the moment, if it's important leave a message and I'll call you back." Dean takes a deep breath, "Hey, Olivia, it's Dean, been trying to join you. Uh…call back whenever you can. Bye." He hung up and puts his phone in his pocket. "She's fine, Dean. No need to stress." There is a moment of silence. Sam frowns and looks at Dean. "Dean, earlier in the car, when we were talking about Dad and everything that happened to Mom and Jess, you said "three of us," so you included Olivia, what happened?", "I ain't-a kiss and tell, Sammy. If you want to know, you will have to ask her.", "This thing took something from her, am I right?" Dean didn't answer, but it was enough for Sam. "It's bigger than what we think, bigger than what Dad maybe thought.", "We will figure it out." They fall once again into silence until Sam decides to break it once more. "So, Blackwater Ridge doesn't get a lot of traffic. Local campers, mostly. But, still, this is April, two hikers went missing out there. They were never found." Sam opens John's journal. "Any before that?" Asks Dean. Sam pulls out a newspaper articles to show Dean. "Yeah, in 1982, eight different people all vanished in the same year. Authorities said it was a grizzly attack." Dean reads the headline in 'The Lost Creek Gazette.'          'GRIZZLY BEAR ATTACKS! UP TO EIGHT HIKERS VANISH IN LOST CREEK AREA HIKERS DISAPPEARANCE BAFFLE AUTHORITIES Families continue to search and rescue efforts in spite of disappointing (...)' Sam pulls out his laptop. "And again in 1959 and again before that in 1936." Sam opens the laptop, which already has a window open to Tom's video. "Every twenty-three years, just like clockwork. Okay, watch this. Here's a clincher. I downloaded that guy Tommy's video to the laptop. Check this out." Sam pulls up the video and goes through three frames of the video one at a time. A shadow crosses the screen. "Do it again." Sam listens to Dean and repeats the frames. "That's three frames. That's a fraction of a second. Whatever that thing is, it can move." Dean hits Sam, making him look up at Dean. "Told you something weird was going on.", "Yeah." Sam closes the laptop. "I got one more thing." Sam hands over another newspaper article. "In 'fifty-nine one camper survived this supposed grizzly attack. Just a kid. Barely crawled out of the woods alive." Dean looks at 'The Lost Creek Gazette.' "Is there a name?"
An old man, Mr. Shaw, talks to Sam and Dean while leading them inside his house. Mr. Shaw has a cigarette in his mouth. "Look, Ranger, I don't know why you're asking me about this. It's public record. I was a kid. My parents go mauled by a—" Sam interrupts Mr. Shaw. "Grizzly? That's what attacked them?" Mr. Shaw takes a puff of his cigarette, takes it out, and nods. "The other people that went missing that year, those bear attacks too?" Mr. Shaw doesn't answer Dean. "What about all the people that went missing this year? Same thing?" Still no answers. "We knew what we were dealing with, we might be able to stop it." Declares Dean. "I seriously doubt that. Anyways, I don't see what difference it would make." Mr. Shaw sits down. "You wouldn't believe me. Nobody ever did." Sam sits down across from Mr. Shaw. "Mr. Shaw, what did you see?" Shaw pauses. "Nothing. It moved too fast to see. It hid too well. I heard it, though. A roar. Like…no man or animal I ever heard.", "It came at night?" Shaw nods at Sam. "Got inside our tent?" Sam presses Mr. Shaw. "It got inside our cabin. I was sleeping in front of the fireplace when it came in. It didn't smash a window or break the door. It unlocked it. Do you know of a bear that could do something like that? I didn't even wake up until I heard my parents screaming.", "It killed them?", "Dragged them off into the night." Shaw shakes his head and then continues. "Why it left me alive…been asking myself that ever since." Shaw's hands go to his collar, "did leave me this, though." Shaw opens his collar to reveal three long scars. Claw marks. Sam and Dean look at them. "There's something evil in those woods. It was some sort of a demon."
Olivia and Dean were on the phone with each other, talking about their respective cases. "So," begins Olivia, "What do you think it is?" Dean sighs, "I don't know. It attacks at night and in the woods. And the way it broke into Shaw's cabin, it was neat, like a human.", "A werewolf?", "Maybe, but they usually go for the heart, not the whole body.", "Unless they cover they trace. But once again, they would have not let the Shaw guy live. It may not be a werewolf.", "Talking about werewolves. How's your case with Bobby?", "Well tonight we caught one, told us where the nest was, so tomorrow we work on the plan, train a little, and by nightfall, we will go there and gank the whole nest.", "Be careful.", "Dean." Olivia's voice was a warning. "Hey, can't stop me from worrying."          Sam enters the room and sees Dean on the phone. He frowns at Dean, silently asking who it was, Dean mouths Olivia, making Sam nod. "Tell her I say hi." He whispers. Dean nods. And listens to Olivia. "I will be back as soon as this case is over.", "I know. Just don't rush it too much, don't get yourself killed or I will bring you back to only kill you again." Olivia laughs, making Dean giggle. "Deal, Winchester. Now, I'm going to sleep. Night, Dee.", "Night, Livy." Dean hangs up and puts his phone on the table. Sam looks at Dean with a grin. "What?" Sam shakes his head, "Nothing. So what'd she say?", "Thought of a werewolf too, but as she pointed out, Shaw would be dead if it was indeed werewolves." Sam sighs. Dean stands up, "Spirits and demons don't have to unlock doors. If they want inside, they just go through the walls.", "So it's probably something else, something corporeal.", "Corporeal? Excuse me, professor.", "Shut up. So what do you think?", "The claws, the speed that it moves… could be a skinwalker, maybe a black dog. Whatever we're talking about, we're talking about a creature, and it's corporeal. Which means we can kill it."          Dean opens the trunk of the Impala, then the weapons box, and props it open with a shotgun. He puts some guns in a duffel bag. Sam leans in. "We cannot let that Haley girl go out there.", "Oh yeaH? What are we gonna tell her? That she can't go into the woods because of a big scary monster?", "Yeah." Dean looks at Sam, dumbfounded. "Her brother is missing, Sam. She's not gonna just sit this out. Now we go with her, we protect her, and we keep our eyes peeled for our fuzzy predator friend." Dean picks up the duffel. "Finding Dad's not enough?" Sam slams the weapons box shut, then the trunk. "Now we gotta babysit too?" Dean stares at Sam, he didn't recognize Sam, Olivia was probably right, he went back on the field too soon. "What?" Dean shakes his head, "nothing." Dean throws the duffel bag at Sam and walks off, Sam staring after him.
Olivia was training outside in the small forest not so far from the motel room. She was shooting at different targets she put in front of her, not missing one. When Olivia finished, she walked closer to the targets and looked at it. She turns the safety on of her gun and runs back to the motel room. She enters the room and sees Bobby cleaning his weapons. "How's the weather, Rocky?" Olivia laughs, puts her gun on the table and takes a bottle of water from the small fridge. "The best weather to gank a next of werewolves!" Olivia takes drinks half of the bottle and puts it down. "I'm going to take a shower then we can work on the plan." Bobby nods bringing his focus back to the weapons while Olivia goes to the bathroom.          A map was on the table, Bobby and Olivia were around it. "So," Bobby puts his finger on a point on the map, "entry A. The Alpha of the nest will probably be here, protected by at least two other werewolves." He puts his finger on another point. "Entry B, that's the 'killing room,' after killing them, we should check out this place in case if there are some survivors." Olivia nods. She looks at the map and taps another point with her finger, "entry C is where we enter." Bobby nods, "but the thing is, Bobby, we will have to park the car down the block. So we will have to walk to the entry C.", "This ain't a problem, as long as we find a way kill all of them.", "Unless we get caught, we will have to run fast. Really fast and without involving the neighborhood and have more victims on our hands." Olivia stands up straight. "Our plan is what? We park the car down one block, enter by the entry C, then what?" Bobby looks at the map, "Then," he pauses and searches the map. "There is the main room, where the rest of the nest will be, around five of them." Olivia nods. "Okay, well, I say let's go have a little ride just to see the surroundings."
A man named Roy talks to Haley and Ben while checking a shotgun. They were all carrying full backpacks. "I'll tell you again, I don't think Ben should come.", "Roy—" Haley begins, but Roy cuts her off. "Look, you're paying me good money to keep everybody safe. I think Ben's safest at home." The Impala pulls up. Roy, Haley, and Ben stare. Haley shakes her head. Sam and Dean get out of the car, Sam opens the back door of the Impala and pulls out a duffel bag. "You guys got room for two more?" Haley gives Dean a questioning look. "Wait, you want to come with us?", "Who are these guys?" Asks Roy. "Apparently this is all the park service could muster up for the search and rescue." Sam heads past everyone. "You're rangers?", "That's right.", "And," Haley looks at Dean's shoes, "you're hiking out in biker boots and jeans?" Dean looks down at himself. "Well, sweetheart, I don't do shorts." Dean heads past Haley. "What, you think this is funny? It's dangerous backcountry out there. Her brother might be hurt." Sam turns back and looks at Roy. "Believe me, I know how dangerous it can be." Dean looks at Roy. "We just wanna help them find their brother, that's all." Dean heads past Sam.
A mine shaft lets in light, Tom and Gary are hanging by their wrists from the ceiling. There are different corpses with them. Growling. Gary spots a tall skinny shape and starts yelling. Tom does his best to turn away and closes his eyes tightly as Gary shouts.
Olivia and Bobby were in the Riviera driving past the house where the nest of werewolves was. Bobby takes several pictures as discreet as he could, while Olivia doesn't stop the car and keeps driving. They stop at a local diner called 'The Old Maple.' They take a booth and order coffees. "How much did you get with the photos?" Bobby looks at them and sighs, "Not much. We had more details on the map. It does confirm the entries, though." Olivia nods, the waitress arrives and gives them their coffees, they smile and nod at her with a quick 'thank you' and return to their conversation. "Okay. Well, nightfall is in hours away so what now? Are we sure there are only three victims?", "There are only three reported victims.", "This is what I thought. So we should look into missings, ask some people, and if people are missing, we'll include this in the plan, and after we killed the nest, we will check into it. I just only hope that there are survivors." Bobby nods. "I do too."
The group hikes through the forest, Roy in the lead, then Dean, Haley, Ben, and Sam bringing up the rear. "Roy, you said you did a little hunting.", "Yeah, more than a little." Dean nods, "Uh-huh. What kind of furry critters do you hunt?", "Mostly buck, sometimes bear." Dean passes Roy. "Tell me, uh, Bambi or Yogi ever hunt you back?" Roy grabs Dean. Sam looks on. "Watcha doing, Roy?" Asks Dean. Roy grabs a stick and pokes the bear trap Dean had almost stepped in. Haley looks annoyed. "You should watch where you're stepping. Ranger." Roy drops the stick and retakes the lead. Dean looks at it then up, "It's a bear trap." They hike on. Haley catches up to Dean. "You didn't pack any provisions. You guys are carrying a duffel bag. You're not rangers." Haley grabs Dean's arm. "So who the hell are you?" Ben goes past Haley and Dean. Sam looks at Dean, who silently tells him to keep going; Sam obeys. Dean watches him go for a moment. "Sam and I are brothers, and we're looking for our father. He might be here, we don't know. I just figured that you and me, we're in the same boat.", "Why didn't you just tell me that from the start?", "I'm telling you now. Besides, it's probably the most honest I've ever been with a woman except Olivia. So we okay?" Haley pauses and nods. "Yeah, okay. And who's Olivia?", "Our best friend. She's helping us find our Dad.", "Why?", "She grew up with us. My Dad took her in at a bad time in her life.", "What happened to her?", "Ah, sorry. No can do. I promised to keep this to myself, that if someone were going to tell her story, it would be her." Dean winks at Haley who smiles. "You're a good friend.", "I try to. And what do you mean I didn't pack provisions?" Dean pulls out a big bag of peanut M&Ms and sticks his hand in the bag as he hikes on. Haley waits a moment, then follows.
Olivia and Bobby were in FBI suits. Olivia was interrogating a woman and Bobby, another man. "So, Mrs. Brook. I saw that you posted on the local's website that your son went missing." The woman nods, "Did you have any news about? Some things you feel like I should know?", "I—I don't know...", "It's okay. It's alright. Take your time. Uh, did you see someone, a stranger for instance near your house, or your son? Did he tell you anything about it?", "He said he had a new friend older than him. But I thought he was from another grade. Oh my, God." The woman starts to panic, Olivia helps the woman to sit down. "It's okay. Did he tell you anything else? Where he lived, where they would see each other?" She shakes her head. Olivia sighs and sits down, next to the woman. "I'm sorry for pressing you with my questions. The more I know, the more chances I have to find your son.", "I understand. Keep going.", "Okay. Did any of his teaches talked to you about this new friend?", "They said that Dylan was distracted lately. He cut some classes.", "Okay. Did Dylan had a phone?", "Yes.", "Okay, could you give me his number and your operator?" The woman stands up, takes a paper and writes down everything Olivia needed. Olivia stands up and takes the paper. "Thank you." Olivia stops for a moment and sighs, "I know what you're going through. I'm going to do my best to find your son.", "Thank you so much." Olivia nods and leaves the house. Bobby was already in the car, the goes around the car and gets into the driver seat. "So, what did the man told you?", "His daughter went missing a week ago, but she came back yesterday, she was at a friend's place. You?", "This woman's son is missing. She said he made a new friend, someone older than him. She gave me his number and the operator so I will try to track the number and get the phone's history and see if he interacted with someone. I also think we should go to the school. She said that he cut some classes, if it was with this new friend, maybe someone saw him. If the description's close to one of the werewolves, it'll be enough. She gave me a photo of him." Olivia gives the photo to Bobby. "Olivia, you're sure you're up for this one?", "Yes, I am, Bobby.", "But this kid missing—," "Will only make me want to finish this job correctly, so the kid is safe and sound. Like any of the survivors.", "Okay. I say let's head back to the motel and get everything ready and then wait for nightfall." Olivia starts the engine and drives off to their motel.
Roy leads the way, followed by Sam, Ben, Haley, and Dean. "This is it. Blackwater Ridge." States Roy. Sam heads past him. "What coordinates are we at?" Roy pulls out a GPS, which reads N 35° 45. 383, W 111° 00.55. "Thirty-five minus one-eleven." Dean comes up to Sam. They listen. "You hear that?", "Yeah. Not even crickets.", "I'm gonna go take a look around.", "You shouldn't go off by yourself.", "That's sweet. Don't worry about me." Roy waves his gun and pushes between Sam and Dean to retake the lead. Dean turns back to the others as Ben and Haley catch up. "All right, everybody stays together. Let's go."          Sam, Dean, Ben, and Haley are looking around near a large rock. "Haley! Over here!" Haley runs towards Roy's voice, followed closely by the others. They come to a halt. "Oh my, God." The tens are torn open and bloody, and all the supplies are scattered. "Looks like a grizzly." States Roy. Dean and Haley look around. "Tommy?" Haley takes off her backpack and goes through the campsite. "Tommy!" Sam moves to catch with Haley. "Shh.", "Tommy!", "Shh-hh-hh!", "Why?", "Something might still be out there.", "Sam." Sam goes over to Dean, snapping a stick, and crouches next to him. "The bodies were dragged from the campsite. But here, the tracks just vanish. That's weird" Sam and Dean stand up. "I'll tell you what, that's no skinwalker or black dog." Dean goes back to the campsite, and Sam follows. Haley picks up Tom's cell phone; it's bloody. She cries. She turns the phone over, and the back is open. Dean crouches next to her. "Hey, he could still be alive." Haley gives Dean a skeptical look. "Help! Help!" Someone screams, Roy leads the way as everyone runs to the aid of the shouter. "Help! Somebody!" They find no one. "It seemed like it was coming from around here, didn't it?" They listen. "Everybody back to camp." Orders Sam. Back at the campsite, all the supplies are missing. "Our packs!" Exclaims Haley. "So much for my GPS and my satellite phone." Whines Roy. "What the hell is going on?" Sam looks at Haley, "it's smart. It wants to cut us off so we can't call for help." Roy looks at Sam. "You mean someone, some nutjob out there just stole all our gear." Sam goes to Dean. "I need to speak with you. In private." Sam and Dean head a little ways away from the group. "Good. Let me see Dad's journal." Dean hands it over. Sam opens it and flips through until he finds a particular page. "All right, check this out." Sam points to a First Nations—style drawing of a figure. "Oh come on, wendigos are in Minnesota woods or, or northern Michigan. I've never even heard of one this far west.", "Think about it, Dean, the claws, the way it can mimic a human voice.", "Great." Dean takes out his pistol. "Well, then this is useless." Sam gives Dean back John's journal and heads past Dean, stopping for a moment. "We gotta get these people to safety."
"Dylan was an amazing student, he didn't always have A's, but he had a great grade, he participated, and he wanted to learn." Olivia was talking to Dylan's teacher. "What happened?", "His grade started to drop about a month ago, he started to cut off.", "How much?", "Half of his grade went down. If he continues at this rate, he won't pass. He missed around twenty classes. He made up fake notes from his mother or father. He even found someone to pretend to be his father to explain his absence.", "Wait, who was pretending to be his father?", "I don't know his name. He went under the identity of Dylan's father.", "Could you describe him?", "Yes. Uhm. Tall, medium brown hair, a beard, brown eyes, he—he has a tattoo of the moon on his right arm. He's muscular. That's all I can remember.", "It's enough. Thanks.", "You're going to find him, right?", "I will do my best to bring him home."          "So turns out the friend Dylan made was the werewolf that we killed.", "So he's in their lair." Olivia nods. "We have maybe two or three hours until nightfall. I say we go over there and wait for a little, in case something new happens."
Back at the campsite, Sam addresses the group. "All right, listen up, it's time to go. Things have gotten…more complicated.", "What?" Haley looked at Sam, confused. "Kid, don't worry. Whatever's out there, I think I can handle it." Dean rolls his eyes at Roy. Sam sighs, "it's not me I'm worried about. If you shoot this thing, you're just gonna make it mad. We have to leave. Now.", "One, you're talking nonsense. Two, you're in no position to give anybody orders." Dean looks at Roy, "relax.", "We never should have let you come out here in the first place, all right? I'm trying to protect you." Roy steps right into Sam's space. "You protect me? I was hunting these woods when your mommy was still kissing you good night.", "Yeah? It's a damn near perfect hunter. It's smarter than you, and it's going to hunt you down and eat you alive unless we get your stupid, sorry ass out of here." Roy laughs. "You know you're crazy, right?", "Yeah? You ever hunt a wen—" Dean pushes Sam. Haley screams Roy's name. "Chill out." Dean tries to calm Sam. "Stop. Stop it." Everyone turns to look at Haley. "Everybody just stops. Look. Tommy might still be alive. And I'm not leaving here without him." For a moment, no one talks, until Dean breaks the silence. "It's getting late. This thing is a good hunter in the day, but an unbelievable hunter at night. We'll never beat it, not in the dark. We need to settle in and protect ourselves." Haley looks at Dean and nods, "How?"
Olivia and Bobby were taking their gun, making sure they had enough bullets. "Okay. So entry C, then the main room we kill all of them, then we go to the room A, kill the Alpha, and if everything goes as planned, we go to the room B and save as many victims as we can." Bobby nods. "And remember, we can't save everyone.", "I know. Let's go." They walk to the house when they arrive at the entry C, Olivia puts herself at the left side of the door, Bobby at the right side. They look at each other, Olivia shows three fingers and starts to silently count. When the last digit is down she takes her gun correctly in her hands, Bobby opens the door as quietly as possible. They enter the room, Olivia covering the left side once again as Bobby still covers the right side. Bobby does a movement of the hand to tell Olivia to keep walking ahead, she nods. They look around, gun aimed and loaded. As they are closer to the main room, they hear people talking. Olivia gets closer to Bobby and whispers "They're at least seven in here. We need to shoot correctly. We don't have many bullets on us.", "Okay. We go in there at the same time and start shooting right away, giving them no time to adjust and attack us." Olivia nods. They take a breath and enter the main room, they start shooting at the werewolves.
The group has built a campfire, and Dean draws something in the dirt around the campsite while Haley pokes at the fire. "One more time, that's—," "Anasazi symbols. It's for protection. The wendigo can't cross over them." Roy laughs, gun over his shoulder. "Nobody likes a skeptic, Roy." Dean heads over to sit next to Sam, who is at the edge of the campsite. "You wanna tell me what's going on in that freaky head of yours?", "Dean—," "No. You're not fine. You're like a powder keg, man, it's not like you. I'm supposed to be the belligerent one, remember?", "Dad's not here. I mean, that much we know for sure, right? He would have left us a message, a sigh, right?", "Yeah, you're probably right. Tell you the truth, I don't think Dad's ever been to Lost Creek.", "Then let's get these people back to town and let's hit the road. Go pick up Olivia, and find Dad. I mean, why are we still even here?", "This is why." Dean comes around to Sam's front and holds up John's journal. "This book. This is Dad's single most valuable possession—everything he knows about every evil thing is in here. And he's passed it on to us. I think he wants us to pick up where he left off. You know, saving people, hunting things. The family business." Sam shakes his head. "That makes no sense. Why doesn't he just—call us? Why doesn't he—tell us what he wants, tell us where he is?", "I don't know. But the way I see it, Dad's giving us a job to do, and I intend to do it.", "Dean…no. I have to find Dad. I have to find Jessica's killer. It's the only thing I can think about.", "Okay, all right, Sam, we'll find them. I promise. Listen to me. You've gotta prepare yourself. I mean, this search could take a while, and all that anger, you can't keep it burning over the long haul. It's gonna kill you. You gotta have patience, man." Sam looks down, then up. "How do you do it? How does Olivia or Dad do it?" Dean looks over at Haley and Ben. "Well, for one, them." Sam looks over at Haley and Ben. "I mean, I figure our family's so screwed to hell, maybe we can help some others. Makes things a little bit more bearable." Dean looks at his little brother. "I'll tell you what else helps." Sam looks back at Dean. "Killing as many evil sons of bitches as I possibly can." Sam smiles. A twig snaps. "Help me! Please!" Dean stands and readies his gun. "Help!" Sam shines a flashlight. "He's trying to draw us out. Just stay cool, stay put." Roy rolls his eyes, "inside the magic circle?", "Help! Help me!" Growling is heard. Roy points his gun at the sound. "Okay, that's no grizzly." Haley talks to Ben, "it's okay. You'll be all right, I promise." Something rushes past. Haley shrieks. Sam looks around, "it's here." Roy shoots at the rustling, then again. "I hit it!" Roy goes to see what he hit. "Roy, no! Roy!" Dean turns to Haley and Ben, "don't move." Haley is holding a stick, burning at one end as a weapon. Sam and Dean run after Roy. "It's over here! It's in the tree!" The wendigo reaches down from the tree and snaps Roy's neck. "Roy!" Sam shines the flashlight around.
The werewolves that were protecting the Alpha came running into the main room where all of the other monsters were dead. Olivia hears the Alpha leaving the house. She looks at Bobby, "I'm going after him, you got this?", "Yes. Go." Olivia runs outside by the entry C and corners the house. She aims her gun, taking long deep breaths, calming her heart, when she calmed it she walked as slowly as possible, avoiding anything that could betray her position. Olivia knew the Alpha would still be here. At least she was hoping so. Olivia looks around as she arrives at the entry B, the killing room. She sees the door half open. She looks inside and sees the Alpha passing back and forth. She also heard whimpering. Someone was still alive. She waits for the Alpha to turn his back to the door, she slowly opens it and aims her gun, when a woman sees her she gasps, turning the Alpha's attention to Olivia. She werewolf attacks Olivia, she falls to the ground, the beast on the top of her, she struggles to get her gun back. The werewolf's teeth were dangerously close to her. She turns her head and tries to grab her gun. When she realizes she can't, she knees the werewolf in the stomach, she then headbutts him, she slightly moves to the left, enough to grab her gun. When he comes to his senses, Olivia has just enough time to shoot the Alpha in the head. The body falls to the ground. Olivia takes a deep breath and stands up. She looks around and sees Dylan and two other women. She sighs in relief.
Sam is sitting on a hollow tree stump, holding John's journal and playing with a lanyard attached to same. Dean, Haley, and Ben are among the tents. "I don't…I mean, these types of things, they aren't supposed to be real." Dean sighs at Haley's words. "I wish I could tell you different.", "How do we know it's not out there watching us?", "We don't. But we're safe for now.", "How do you know about this stuff?" There is a slight pause while Dean considers. "Kind of runs in the family." Sam comes over. "Hey." Haley stands up. "so, we've got half a chance in the daylight. And I for one want to kill this evil son of a bitch.", "Well, hell, you know I'm in." States Dean.  Sam shows the wendigo page of John's journal to Haley and Ben. "'Wendigo' is a Cree Indian word. It means 'evil that devours.'", "They're hundreds of years old. Each one was once a man. Sometimes an Indian, or other times a frontiersman or a miner or a hunter.", "How's a man turn into one of those things?" Dean picks up a couple things up off the ground. "Well, it's always the same. During some harsh winter, a guy finds himself starving, cut off from supplies or help. Becomes a cannibal to survive, eating other members of his tribe r camp.", "Like the Donner Party." Dean looks at Ben.  Then Sam continues, "cultures all over the world believe that eating human flesh gives a person certain abilities. Speed, strength, immortality.", "If you eat enough of it, over the years, you become this less than a human thing. You're always hungry.", "So if that's true, how can Tommy still be alive?" Demands Haley. "You're not going to like it." Dean glances at Sam, then back at Haley. "Tell me.", "More than anything, a wendigo knows how to last long winters without food. It hibernates for years at a time, but when it's awake, it keeps its victims alive. It, uh, it stores them, so it can feed whenever it wants. If your brother's alive, it's keeping him somewhere dark, hidden, and safe. We gotta track it back there.", "And then how do we stop it?", "Well, guns are useless, so are knives. Basically—" Dean holds up the can of lighter fluid, the beer bottle, and the white cloth he'd picked up. "We gotta torch the sucker."
After Olivia checked if the victims were okay, she put something on the man's body that didn't survive. She looks at Dylan and then at the door. She had to join Bobby. She gives one of the women a gun, "do you know how to shoot?" The woman nods. "Okay. If it's not a man in a ball cap or me, you shoot." The woman nods again. Olivia charges her gun and gets out of the killing room. She walks to the entry C and reaches the main room, she sees one werewolf walking to Bobby. She aims her gun and shoot, killing him. The body falls, Bobby looks at Olivia and sighs. "All dead. I found Dylan alive, and on the three people missing, only two women survived, the man was dead.", "Okay let's get out of here."
Dean leads the way through the woods. Molotov cocktail in hand. Haley follows, then Ben, and Sam. They pass trees with claw marks and blood.
Dylan was in the back seat of Olivia's car. Olivia parks the car in front of Dylan's house. She gets out, opens the door for Dylan to get out. She walks with him to the front door, she knocks and waits for the door to open. When Dylan's mother opens the door, she puts her hands on her mouth when she saw her son. She takes him in her arms. "Thank you so much.", "Don't mention it. Hey, Dylan." Dylan turns and faces Olivia, "next time you see a stranger, don't go near. Okay?", "I promise.", "Okay." Dylan gives Olivia a hug, taking her by surprise. "Thank you, Olivia.", "No problem kiddo. Now go." Olivia turns around and starts to walk to her car when the woman stops her, "Wait a minute." Olivia turns, "I figured out you weren't from the FBI. But I don't care, you brought my boy home. And I will forever be thankful for this. I don't know what happened to you, but I can tell you are a mother. So from mother to mother, thank you, from the bottom of my heart." Olivia hugs the woman and leaves.
Sam is now leading the group. "Dean." Dean catches up. "what is it?" Sam and Dean look around at the trees. There are bloody claw marks and broken branches everywhere. "You know, I was thinking, those claw prints, so clear and distinct. They were almost too easy to follow." Growling. Sam and Dean whip around. Trees rustle. Haley is standing under a tree. Blood drips on her shirt. She notices and looks up, then leaps out of the way; Roy's corpse lands where she stood. Dean examines Roy as Sam goes over to Haley. "You okay? You got it?", "His neck's broke." Sam helps Haley up. More growling. "Okay, run, run, run, run, go, go, go!" Everybody takes off. Ben falls, and Sam hurries back to help him up, dividing the group in half. "Come on, I gotcha, I gotcha." Dean and Haley stopped short: the wendigo is in front of them. Haley screams. Ben looks up, "Haley?" Sam stops running and picks up Dean's Molotov cocktail, the bottle is broken. "Dean!"
Back at the motel, Olivia went to take a shower then Bobby. "Well, I say it's a good day.", "It sure could have been worse, but I'm feeling bad for the man's wife. She's pregnant.", "I know. But as I said we can't save everyone. We saved three out of four, Olivia. It's a good day." Olivia nods. I'm going to sleep."
"If it keeps its victims alive, why would it kill Roy?", "Honestly? I think because Roy shot at it, pissed it off." Ben finds a trail of peanut M&Ms and picks one up. "They went this way." Sam catches up to Ben, who hands over the M&M. Sam laughs. "It's better than breadcrumbs." Sam tosses the M&M away. They follow the trail. They come to a mine entrance marked with a sign that says 'Warning! Danger! Do not enter extremely toxic material.' Sam looks at Ben, shrugs, and goes inside. Ben follows. Above the entrance is a larger sign that says 'keep out no admittance.'          Sam shines the flashlight ahead of them. Growling; Sam shuts off the light and pulls Ben against the wall. The Wendigo comes towards them. Sam covers Ben's mouth before he can scream. The wendigo takes a different tunnel at the crossing. Sam and Ben keep going. The floorboards creak, and Ben and Sam fall through the floor; they land in a pile of bones. There is another pile nearby of skulls Ben spots them and leaps backward. "Hey, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay." Sam and Ben look up; Dean and Haley are hanging by their wrists from the ceiling. Sam runs to Dean, Ben to Haley. "Dean!", "Haley, wake up!" Sam grabs Dean and shakes him. "Dean!" Dean opens his eyes. "Hey, you okay?" Dean winces. "Yeah.", "Haley, Haley, wake up, wake up!" Sam cuts Dean down, and Ben takes care of Haley. They help them over to an empty patch of floor and get them down. Dean makes pained noises. "You sure you're all right?" Dean grimaces. "Yeah. Yep. Where is he?", "He's gone for now." Haley divests herself of rope. She stands up and spots Tom still hanging and starts crying. "Tommy…" Haley touches Tom's cheek. Tom's head jerks up. Haley jumps back and shrieks. she turns to Sam. "Cut him down!" Sam cuts Tom down. "We're gonna get you home." The stolen supplies are piled in the corner. Dean picks up flare guns. "Check it out." Sam turns around. "Flare guns. Those'll work." Sam grins, Dean laughs and twirls the guns.          The head down a tunnel, Sam and Dean in the lead with flare guns and Haley and Ben supporting Tom, who is limping. Growling. "Looks like someone's home for supper.", "We'll never outrun it." Dean looks back at the others then at Sam. "You thinking what I'm thinking?", "Yeah, I think so.", "All right listen to me. Stay with Sam. He's gonna get you out of here.", "What are you gonna do?" Dean doesn't answer Haley, he winks and starts walking and yelling. "Chow time, you freaky bastardç Yeah, that's right, bring it on, baby, I taste good." Sam waits until Dean is a safe distance away. "All right, come on! Hurry!" The Collinses follow Sam down the tunnel.          "Hey, you want some white mean, bitch! I'm right here!"         Sam, Haley, Ben, and Tom hurry down a tunnel. Growling. Sam points the gun at it, then lowers the gun and turns to the Collinses. "Get him out of here.", "Sam no.", "Go! Go! Go!", "Come on, Haley!" Haley and Ben help Tom along the mine tunnel. Sam holds the flare gun ready to shoot, looking down the tunnel. "Come on, come on." Growling. Sam turns: the wendigo is right in his face. Sam shoots and misses, then runs after the Collinses. "Sam!" Sam catches up. "Come on, hurry, hurry, hurry." They run to the end of the tunnel, the wendigo right behind. "Get behind me!" Sam is large enough to hide all three Collinses. The wendigo approaches, taking its time. Dean comes up behind it. "Hey!" The wendigo turns, Dean shoots it in the stomach. The flare goes off, and the wendigo goes up in flames. "Not bad, huh?" Sam grins.
Olivia puts her duffel bag in the passenger seat. She closes the door and looks at Bobby. "Well, it was a pleasure to work with you, Bobby." Bobby laughs, making Olivia smile. "You take care of you back there, all right? And take care of the boys. Be the sane one.", "As usual, Bobby." Olivia hugs him, "bye." she gets into the car and leaves.
An ambulance loads up Tom. Two police officers interview Ben; Sam stands behind him. "And the bear came back again after you yelled at it?", "That's when it circled the campsite. I mean, this grizzly must have weighed eight hundred, nine hundred pounds." Sam nods at Ben's words. "All right, we'll go after it first thing." The officer nods and leaves. Haley talks to Dean, both of them have already been patched up. "So I don't know how to thank you," Dean smirks lasciviously. Haley smiles despite herself. "Must you cheapen the moment?", "Yeah!" A paramedic comes up to Haley, "You're riding with your brother?", "Yeah." The Paramedic heads back to the ambulance. Haley turns to Ben. "Let's go." Sam and Ben nod at each other. Haley kisses Dean on the cheek. "I hope you find your father." Haley and Ben head for the ambulance. "Thanks, Sam." They climb in the ambulance with Tom. Sam sits on the Impala's hood with Dean. "Man, I hate camping.", "Me too." Noises of the ambulance driving away, sirens on. "Sam, you know we're going to find Dad, right?", "Yeah, I know. But in the meantime? I'm driving." Dean tosses Sam the keys. Dean's phone rings, Olivia sent him a message 'Just arrived at the motel. You're okay?', 'On our way. We're good. You?', 'I'm fine. See you.' Sam looks at Dean and starts the car, "who is it?", "Olivia. She's at the motel. Let's go."

Fragments
Day 1 : Broken
Summary:  A dream is the only hope she has. After all, you always wake up from dreams, don’t you? [Spoilers for :re 143 // angsty angst]
Word Count: 2000~
“All the king's horses and all the king's men Couldn't put Humpty together again.”
It must be a dream.
She is sure it must be a dream- some sort of hallucination her mind had conjured up when she couldn’t handle the inevitability of what was coming. 
Had it already come to pass? 
But she has no wounds to show for it, no blood, not even scars. She feels no pain, no hunger. Her dress is white and clean, like everything in the sparsely furnished room. On the ceiling, a white, tube-light flickers.
Touka sits back down on the bed and waits for the dream to end. 
In her dream, there is a room without a door. And inside it, she waits.
A man comes to her, one day, through a door that isn’t there. She is sure she knows him, but she can’t figure out how or from where. The only think she does know is that her heart is hammering inside her chest, as if in warning, her hands suddenly cold. But this is her dream, she reminds herself, there is no need to be afraid of a figment of her own imagination. Still, as he strides towards her bed, she can’t help scuttling closer to the wall.
“Kirishima-san,” he greets politely, “How are we doing today?” In his smart black suit, he stands in sharp contrast against the brightness of the room. But it is not his clothes that draw her eyes, but the tiny mole near the corner of his right eye.
Involuntarily, she shivers.
“Would you like to see your husband today, Kirishima-san?” 
Husband? What husband?
Unbidden, an image flashes through her mind- a stump, bleeding, battered, broken. Blood making rivers down black holes where eyes should have been. Screams.
“No,” she hears herself say.
“Ah, that’s a shame,” the man shakes his head, smiling. On any other person’s face, it would have looked rueful- sad, even. But on his face, it just looks mocking. “Fortunately, you’re going to see him anyway.”
“No,” she is shaking, drawing herself fully onto the bed, pressing her back against the white, white wall. “Please, no.”
This is a dream. A dream. A dream.
Arms pull at her, dragging her off the bed, making her unwilling feet stumble on the cold marble floor. A door opens, and she wonders at how she had missed it. Her room is not door-less after all. 
She remembers men surrounding them, quinques raised- her army of children half starved, against so many of the CCG’s elite. 
She had known, even then, that they didn’t stand a chance. 
She remembers the screams of the children, the warmth of the blood that rained down, the cut of sharp steel against her ribs and thinking, No, no, no, no no.
So close, and yet again, cornered and outnumbered. This time, no one had come to save her, no one had told her to run. This time, she was on her own.
She remembers arms hoisting her at some point, being half dragged, half carried. A face peering at her, smiling, a crinkling eye and a tiny black mole right under it. “Would you like to see your husband, Kirishima-san?” he’d asked her, before stepping away with a flourish- a magician pulling off the curtain to reveal his final act.
And there he lay, her Kaneki, and a sob had broken from her throat at the horror of it all; his limbless body lying on the ground like a discarded doll, the blood seeping out of the holes where his arms and legs should have been, the way he writhed to and fro while they laughed.
They let her fall to her knees next to him, let her kneel over his body, let her touch him, shake him with trembling fingers. “It’s okay,” she told him through her tears, “It’s okay. I’m here.” He stopped mumbling- a mantra she couldn’t discern- and looked at her, and his mouth moved. She thought she heard a whisper of her name.
“Don’t worry, Ken,” the man with the mole said, “We’ll take care of both of them.” Then she was being pulled up and pulled away, her screams mixing with his, as he thrashed violently on the ground.
It was only later that she realized what Kichimura Washuu had said.
We’ll take care of both of them. Both.
In her dream, he is white and lifeless, a limbless trunk wired to tubes, kept alive for the sole purpose of harvesting him as a weapon. She cries and pleads and begs them not to, but still they drag her, thrashing and screaming, day after day, week after week, until finally, she has no will left in her to fight.
“Imagine this,” Kichimura Washuu says in a delighted whisper, “His own child using a quinque made of his Kagune against you. How beautifully tragic would that be?” His laugh echoes in the hallway, and Touka stares, unblinking, at the body on the other side of the glass, having already spent her tears weeks ago,
A dream,  she tells herself. A dream can’t hurt you. 
As if in answer, her stomach flutters.
Sometimes, Touka dreams of better things. 
Sometimes, she is in :re,  the sun’s rays casting the cafe’ into the orange hue of dusk, her hands around a cup that is warm and filled to the brim with coffee she can almost smell. 
Sometimes, it is just him sitting with her, his mouth turned up in that shy smile. 
Sometimes, it is all of them- Nishiki with his outrageous mop of fiery red hair, Hinami, in soft, floral dresses she’d worn as a child, Yomo, smiling at her warmly over his own cup of coffee, Ayato, tugging at her dress and standing on tip-toes, still too small, too short, to see over the counter.
In these dreams, everything is vibrant and real and filled with colour, and nothing is white.
In her dream there is a room with a door she cannot open, and inside it, she waits.
They bring her food every now and then, although she can’t keep track of when or how frequently. She eats, not because she must, but because if she doesn’t, her nightmares will hold her down and force it down her throat. 
It is better, she has discovered, to simply do as she is told. It is better to eat when she is offered food, better to let them prod her for a bit every now and then instead of fight their needles, better to recede into the deepest corners of her mind, to her dreams within the dream- those of sunlight streaming in through open windows and old friends and warm colours, when they force her to stand witness to the worst of it.
Touka wonders if she is ever going to wake up.
Even in her dream, she can feel the life thriving inside of her. Soon she is all stomach and bones, her hands skinny and thin, her knees knobby. She feels heavy, like a balloon filled with water and close to bursting. 
When she presses her hand to her stomach, she can feel the movement beneath her hands. 
Just a dream, she tells herself, just part of the dream.
But nevertheless, she finds herself unable to quell the sliver of fear that has started up inside of her, a fear that grows every day, until she is sure it will swallow her up whole. Still, she refuses to let herself think the unthinkable, because she must not betray herself, must not give up the last shred of hope she has.
This is a dream, she tells herself firmly. This can only be a dream. 
A dream is the only hope she has. After all, you always wake up from dreams, don’t you?
A ghost comes to see her one day, floats in through the locked door and kneels by her bed. When she clasps Touka’s hands in hers though, it is solid.
“Do you remember me?” she asks.
She does, from a time that seems so faraway that it, too, must have been a dream. She remembers the pale blue hair, the laughing face that looks sallower, thinner. She remembers her and the others, and him,  and the sunlit days at :re.
“I’m Saiko,” the ghost says softly, “I was on sensei’s team.”
Touka nods.
“I’m so sorry,” there are tears in the ghost’s eyes, although Touka isn’t sure why she would be crying.
“It’s just a dream,” she says gently, squeezing her hand.
“Y-yes,” the ghost sniffs, “Just a- a dream.” It seems to take a great deal of effort, but finally, the ghost gives her a shaky smile. “Kirishima-san,” she says, “Do you have any names you’d like? You know, for the baby?”
A name, yes. She’d thought about names before, hadn’t she? Before she’d started having this nightmare? She’d even made a list.
“I’ve always liked Hikari,” she finds herself saying.
They don’t take her away at first, of course they don’t. Instead, they bundle her up in a blanket and place her in her arms. She is tiny and red and wrinkly, but she is the most beautiful thing Touka had ever seen. 
For a moment, she forgets that this is her nightmare. For a moment, she just holds her and stares in wonder. 
Then, one day, she wakes up to find herself alone in her white room.
They starve her after that, and Touka discovers you can feel hungry in dreams. They torture her, just for the fun of it, torment her with everyone she loves, but never enough to kill her. That, they tell her, is reserved for the child who is growing up as lovely as a flower. 
“Poetic justice,” Kichimura Washuu shrugs, “I’ve always been an artist.”
In the dreams within her dreams, she holds her daughter in her arms. Tiny, chubby arms reach for her, and there are toothless smiles and blue eyes that reflect her own. 
In the dreams, Kaneki has all his limbs. In her dreams, he plays catch with their daughter as she learns to waddle on unsure feet. They sit together for coffee, and he teaches her how to read. In her dreams, there is grey in their hair that comes only with age, and Hikari grows into a confident young woman under their care.
In the dreams within her dreams, there are no doves, no blood, no death.
One day, Touka dreams that her daughter came back.
It takes her breath away when the light strikes her face, and even though a lot of time must have passed, she knows. She would know those eyes anywhere, she thinks.
How can a child grow up so fast? she wonders dumbly, as hostile eyes regard her. Hadn’t she held her in her arms just yesterday?
Her feet take her forward, and as if in a trance, she reaches towards the face that look so much like hers, so much like Kaneki’s. 
“Don’t try your tricks on me, Kirishima,” her daughter’s voice is hard, and suddenly, she finds herself staring up at a metal rod. A quinque. 
Touka watches as the quinque unfurls into a kagune she knows only too well. 
She feels sick.
“I’ve come to claim my rights,” her daughter says proudly, “You are to be my first kill.”
“Hikari,” she says, blinking away tears she didn’t know she still had. 
“Don’t speak my name,” Hikari snarls, “You won’t get to me with your acting.” But she pauses, quinque still in hand.
I love you, Touka wants to say, I love you so much, Hikari. I’m your mother. Please don’t do this. Please, not like this. But she swallows the words.
 Kichimura had done a good job of setting up the pieces, and there was nothing she could say or do that would change it in their favour. Right now, right here, Hikari was safe, and if she said anything, it might change that, so she wouldn’t. The best she could hope for was that Hikari would never know the truth.
Touka draws in a breathe and composes herself. Just a dream, she tells herself for the last time.
“Go on, then,” she tells Hikari, “show me what you are made of.”
Hikari hesitates for a moment, as if unsure of what to do. Then the RInkaku comes crashing towards Touka.
This time, Touka does not dream.

23rd June 2017
I have never felt so ill in my entire life. I hadn't slept a wink. I was up and down trying to be sick. I slept with the bin next to my bed in case it came up. I went on my phone at 0300 and properly woke myself up at 0600. My heart was RACING the whole night and I was so dizzy. The spins never stopped. Steve left for work at 0615 again so I was left on my own feeling sorry for myself. I got my clothes out and started to get ready at 0720. I sat in the toilet cubicle contemplating forcing myself being sick. Didn't happen - I have a fear of throwing up. I couldn't do it. My lips were still stained red from the wine. I looked, smelt and felt AWFUL. How was I going to go to work like this? Why do I always drink on an empty stomach?!!!! I got ready and went downstairs at 0750. Didn't take me long. I looked like rubbish and there was no saving it. I made myself eat a slice of toast and a cup of tea. Steve stole my water bottle for work so I needed to buy another one on the way to work. I left at 0830 and went into Coles. Steve told me to buy fresh orange juice too as that would make me feel better. I just couldn't believe how ill I felt. I got my water and orange and carried on walking to work. Only about half way did I realise my dress was tucked into my tights and nobody told me. Worst day ever. I want to go home. I got into work and sat down. Shock horror, no computer still. I watched Kayly working for the next hour or so. Sidak said I could start working on her computer so she logged me in and told me to get started. These people have no idea how to train. This is my first official day of working and they just tell you to go... if I have any questions, I have to ask. Well, obviously I'm going to have questions every single minute. They're too busy to shadow you so they go and sit down to work. I feel too awful and embarrassed to keep getting up and going to ask for help. I just sat there sometimes thinking 'what do I do?'. It was horrible. I ended up finalising some bills when I realised an error half way through. I got up and told Sidak that I realised my error and asked how to retract it. Sidak couldn't show me as she needed to do it quickly and just told me the repercussions of what I have done... Well thank you but if you actually sat with me, you could watch what I was doing. I felt ill enough as it was, yes self inflicted, but I didn't need people telling me off for doing something wrong when I'm left on my own the first day. Kayly told me I had picked it up the quickest she's ever seen anyone pick it up. She said she took days before realising what goes where. That made me feel better. I went for my lunch as Sidak and Vidyha had to go through the bills I had done to ensure I didn't mess anything else up. I sat with my bottle of water feeling sorry for myself. I started to feel better around 1030 but by midday, it was getting worse again. My heart needed to slow down before it blew up. I went back to work and carried on doing what I knew. I felt so stupid having to ask questions all the time. I submitted my timesheet so I could get paid. Getting paid to do nothing. The boss Nick came around and said I could go at 1600. I told him it was ok as I already sent off my hours so ill stay until 1700. That extra hour makes such a difference, it's almost a full food shop. I was so glad to be finished work but I was absolutely starving. I just fancied some chips. I was going to go to Lord of The Fries to get some on the way home. My stomach was empty and I just needed some fatty foods. Mel text to say she was starving so I met her on the way and we went to a different chip place. It was only $5 for chips, cheese and gravy. Bargain. We went to Mel's room to sit and eat. Steve was home from work as he did 0700-1500 but he was sleeping. His shift tonight has been bought forward by three hours so he starts at 2100-0700. I didn't want to go into the room to disturb him. Hopefully the others are being quiet. We have two new roommates which I haven't spoken too. I'd guess that one was Filipino and the other was Spanish. I'm usually well off when it comes to guessing so who knows. I sat on Mel's bed chatting to Sophie and Rachel. We are all in there. It's fajita Friday so the two girls left to get the ingredients. Mel and I stayed eating our chips and chatted for two hours or so. We went downstairs around 1900 and it was the biggest fajita Friday yet - 13 of us! Our Melbourne family is expanding quickly. I didn't get in the way with the cooking. There were far too many people so I just sat down with my water, still feeling sorry for myself and waited patiently. I was going to do the washing up. We all ate together and chatted away. It worked really well considering the amount of people. Most had beers and goon but I stuck with water. In fact, the thought of anything with a percentage of alcohol in made me feel sick. Never again. The staff took a photo for us which was nice. Especially as it was Sophie's last fajita Friday. I asked Steve if he wanted to wake up for dinner this morning but he said no. His alarm was on for 2000 to leave at 2020. Around 2000, I went upstairs to double check he was awake. He was up and ready to leave - I don't know why I think to check. He's so good at getting up! We both went downstairs, he had the rest of my Dominoes from the other day. He and dan left for work, looking miserable as ever bless them. Mel, George, Megan and I sat chatting at the dinner table for the next hour or so. By 2130, I had to go to bed. I hadn't slept the night before and I was still ill. All I wanted to do was curl up in bed and watch a film but I can't. Stupid wifi and stupid hostel. I fell asleep around 2300 as I FaceTimed my mum for an hour or so. She was off work and starts her new job on Monday! How exciting. I miss work. I miss doing work where I know what I'm doing. 5 weeks left!

We don’t belong here. Go back.
FEATURING - jeon jungkook CATEGORY - drama . triggering WORD COUNT - 2000+
Tumblr media
It pierces into the deafening silence; the first crack.
You hold your hands over your ears, blocking out the sound, but even the breaking penetrates through your hands, your ear plugs, your resistance.
Tears brimmed at your waterline, rendering you of your clear view. You see one last glimpse of a dream before sadness goes ahead and drapes a cloak all over the lieu. It was an apartment, modern and pristine, wide and obviously for two-spacers. The sunlight gracefully enters the abode, illuminating further the unit and emphasizing it’s cream walls. His clothes scattered everywhere, and in the midst of the crumpled materials were snippets of your shirts or shorts or underwear or beanies. For a moment, before your vision blurs, you see him walk out the door.
Every corner of the unit once sang to your joyous lullabies. But as the door resounded a bang, heinous whispers reach your hearing. What once were tinkling laughter were inaudible happiness. What once were romantic moaning were fading love.
Come back.
Who said that? You? Him? Somebody else?
Who needed to come back? Who needed to stay away?
Who needed to indulge in this addiction? Who is willing to withdraw?
Come back. It whispers, taunting you. A voice familiar though you can’t pin-point whose it is.
You’ve had enough of the horrors this empty living room has brought to you. Despite finding the worst nightmare in your shared bedroom, you still trudged forward with wobbly knees. Had you always been this weak, fragile, sickly?
You lay down on the sheets, so fragrant of the passionate sin the two of you had committed all night, so fragrant of his musky scent and of his natural boyish smell. You bury your face in the pillows, seeing glimpses of his smile covered by this exact pillow when he greets you a good morning, seeing ghosts of his lithe figure standing by the closet doors without a shirt on as he decides what to wear for the day (though in the end he settles with his trusty white shirt).
Drip. Salty water wets a tiny spot on the vast sheets, the liquid dispersing into a bigger radius. And suddenly, the tears won’t stop. The room turns gray; the room you once colored enthusiastically with him: Your polaroid mural turns monochrome, while your unkempt clothes becomes gray scale. Panting erratically, you reach for your phone, shaking fingers typing up a password that is very much related to him.
J. Jjk. Kook. 1997. Him. Never you. Never anybody else. Just, him.
Crack. Your hand taps at the screen. Each gesture increasing the volume of horrible sounds. Then, words enter your vision and suddenly everything is fine: colors returns, sadness retrieves its fine cloak, his clothes reappear, memoirs of you and his adventures fill your vision, the apartment lights up; all that’s left is him.
Crack. Crack. So, you tap ahead, colorful words swirling in your mind; scenarios overloaded in a confined space. A period later, you hear the door open. You hear his distinct footsteps approaching. You hear the smile painted across his face when he opens the door and rushes to you.
He was the sunshine. A god climbing down his throne to be with an insignificant mortal like you. Yet, you indulge in his words, whispering encouragements that you’d be the only one for him, that he fell for you and that it would never change. He smiled as if he never left just a while ago, as if it was a nightmare - a vivid bad dream - that happened in your subconscious.
“I’m back.” He whispers, peppering kisses along your neck and along your earlobes. He knew you loved his lips there as well, he knew just how to open and suck his mouth to coax a moan out of you. Almost as if he read your mind.
“You are.” You sigh, but the next moment you gasp.
He didn’t smell like him.
He didn’t wear white shirts like him.
He didn’t feel warm to the touch anymore.
No, he seemed to be nothing, an illusion floating on air - transparent but still there. Still goddamn there smiling at you like you were his sun. “What’s happened to you?”.
“You can’t come back.” And it all confuses you. Come back to where? You were already home, but home began to fade with that ever-bright smile still present. “Let go, let go.”
Involuntarily, your hands loosened. It was then that you realized you still held your phone. But your mind whirred slowly as you watched the device break into pieces on the floor, debris not even hurting your bare feet although they were in the way of danger. Where was the blood, the agonized scream, the caring questions from him?
You stared in horror, as the white ceilings dripped color from above, the white walls losing it’s luminosity to a grim gray.
Crack. There, you see, on the corner of the wall, a small crack, harmless and fixable. But he kept fading away, and still you couldn’t grasp him.
Stay.
Crack. Crack. The walls around you shows horrible destruction, cement dust accumulating with its breaking. Crack.
“Go back.” He says again, but he comes closer and the next thing you knew were the faint feel of his lips on you. “We don’t belong here. Go back.”
But this was your home. Where did you belong? No one would understand.
“Thank you for keeping me alive.” His final words triggered the whole building to collapse, and the first one to break were the glass windows.
But you weren’t dead.
You were on the bed, physique so different from before. The walls that surrounded you were neither gray nor pristine white but of a girlish pink hue. The polaroids were no more and were instead posters containing clusters of ridiculously-eyelinered people.
Stretching your muscles, your fingers gripped onto something, and when you turned to look at it, it was your phone, bare from the cracks you remembered it nursed.
Automatically, you opened it. But the password was wrong. It wasn’t j or jjk or kook or 1997 or something about him. He didn’t occupy your screen just like you remembered. He didn’t leave messages, though your friends did. You skimmed at their texts which showed that they were seemingly outraged at something.
As you sat up, you saw him, on the wall, confined in the dimensions of a glossy paper while a big print of ‘BTS’ laid across the center bottom of the poster.
Jeon Jungkook wore an elegant nightwear in the photo, though you specifically remembered him wearing his lovable white shirt just a while ago.
“It’s time to eat!”
Slipping away from the clutches of sleep, you regain your sense.
The kpop-fanatic room you were in made sense; this was yours as you were an avid fan, particularly of a certain maknae from a certain group.
The phone in your hand made sense; you fell asleep in the midst of you writing up a new fan-fic, featuring him, your bias.
Still, you promised it’d be your last book; but you’ve broken it for multiple times, drowning you completely in an abyss. Every time.
Nobody would understand. The crack that you hear at the back of your mind as your subconscious imagines new scenarios for a story starring Jeon Jungkook and some female lead or just the 'reader’ in a second person’s point of view.
Nobody would understand the addiction, the euphoria, of reading and writing alternate universes of your favorite group; the thrill of showing the world how you saw your idols would be if they weren’t famous.
Nobody would understand. Not even your fellow-army best-friends. Because humans are selfish and always thirsty for what they want for themselves.
You went ahead and stared at the jar on a cabinet across your room, tons of multicolored special paper and copper coins filling it to almost the brim. It took one year for you to make that possible - one year of instant lunch and of putting things in it with a positive hope; one year of not really being in a relationship with anyone - but it seems that your effort was just for nothing.
“Hey, come on. Food’s ready and class starts in an hour.” Your roommate peeks her head inside your room, catching you staring blankly at your impressive jar. “I’m sorry about that; i kind of heard from my sister, and she’s in a far worse mood than yours. If it makes you feel better, I cooked kimchi pancakes?”
You smiled faintly, finger automatically finding your phone. The device screamed at you, taunting you to bring back his glorious face, to re-copy his amazing songs, to set him as your pass-code. But, you had to move on. Because when reality met the shoreline you were sleeping on, it over weighed the feeling of the idea of him drowning you. So, you woke up, and realized the cruelty of the world beyond yours.
Indeed, humans were selfish, and you were no different.
You received the news a few weeks ago, the possibility behind it piercing a sharp arrow into your poor fangirl heart. It depressed you for a very short while,though you weren’t sure if it was one of those episodes when you’d have a drastic mood swing or you were just overreacting and jumping into conclusions too soon.
However, where there’s hope, misfortune lingers.
But you were smart, and tired; being sad was tiring, and drowning in coffee just to stay up all night to raise your GPA was offering no help. So, you resorted to what you did best in: write about him. Just him, nobody else. It blinded you of the reality crashing down on you, but you chose this path anyway; and unconsciously it added more weight to your muddled thoughts.
It is time to say goodbye. Because you didn’t belong there; he didn’t too. He was just a figment of your imagination: a boyish man you thought him to be.
Was he actually a dorky boy? A hidden playboy? A skillful gamer? A shy maknae? An aspiring police officer if he never became an idol? An intelligent student? A strong man when situation calls for it?
Or was he just a golden idol; nothing more, nothing less?
You indulge in the possibilities, but they were never enough. You praise every part of him with the best of your vocabulary, but was it too much or was it lacking?
“Thanks, I’ll be right out. Just gonna plug my phone.”
Your roommate heads out, leaving you to tend to your business.
The empty notepad sheet stares back at your from your phone screen, tempting you to write, write, write; promises of it being the last one acting as an irresistible invitation.
Indeed, you were weak, hands failing to control themselves, finger finding solace in the smooth surface of your phone’s screen. Then they tap away again, and as 'Jeon Jungkook’ is written, a smile appears on your face.
Crack. It’s fainter as it is louder. The dream returns, but this time you were yet to fall in love with him, this time he was a normal college guy who bought extra tickets to a concert to impress another girl he was trying to woo but he got rejected and it somehow came to you having the ticket because you were a fan. And, as the strobe light hits your face, and the crowd drowns out your shouts, he began to fall for you, you did to Jungkook a few months later.
You would always end up in that pristine apartment unit, always end up living in with him, always end up witnessing the sight of your messy clothes decorating the tiled floor, always reminiscing sinful adventures in every nook and cranny of the space, always end up being with him tangled in sheets - naked or not.
You ignore the messages spamming your inbox, ignore the weight of the reality they held, ignored the distress of your friends. Because you were selfish as much as they were.
 —  i can’t believe this! BTS concert is happening during our finals!!!!!!! Like, who does that????????????  —  hey, we’re in this together! how could you leave me alone?????  —  bff, i need u  —  lol, not lol, idk, i’m sad. halp me ;-;  —  i guess you just don’t understand :(((((((( come on, we’ve been saving up for this con for a year :((((((((((
Crack. You stand up, and save the finished scenario on you notepad, robotically reaching for your doorknob with an endorphic smile.
Because you were human, and you are selfish. Because you want, at least in your recorded fantasies. Crack. Crack.
And so, the apartment collapses; two entangled corpses buried beneath not sturdy cemented debris.
