I had Steve drop me off at the station on the way to school so that I could show Hopper that I could go to a party and not be at the station all night… and so that Steve could go get some breakfast. Hopper was surprised and so was I, so I got a little bit of work done before Steve came back by to pick me up.

We rode to school, just talking about nothing, reminiscing on a few memories, laughing. Once we got to school, we sat in his car, eating our breakfast, still laughing and sharing our favorite memories with one another.

“Oh, my god,” I said, swallowing my bite of food. “Do you remember that time when we were like 12 or 14 and your parents busted us for looking at their special book?”

Steve laughed, putting his hand on the steering wheel. “Yes! It was one of the few times they were actually home for a while.” His laughter died down, and so did his mood before he took a bite of his breakfast sandwich.

I sighed, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have brought that one up.”

“No, no, it’s… it’s cool,” he said. “I like it. I like this.”

Looking at him, I asked, “Like what?” before looking at my own breakfast sandwich and taking a bite, eyes back on him.

“This. Us. What we’re doing.”

“Being friends?”

He nodded. “Best friends.” Taking another bite, he sighed before chuckling. “You might be upset with me for bringing this up, but what about the time before you started getting busted by the cops?”

I had to think for a moment before smiling and chuckling. “The 4th of July party at Tina’s? “

Nodding, he said, “Yeah. That’s the one! When they came and tried to break the party up because some snitch called them and said someone ordered a keg?”

“Oh, my god, I totally forgot someone called!” I exclaimed, laughing. “And we ran back to your house, almost falling in the woods from laughing, and then actually falling into your pool from not watching where we were going?”

Throwing his back against the headrest, Steve laughed… hard. I haven’t seen him laugh that hard in a while, and it felt good to see him let go for a moment. As his laughter started to die down, he cleared his throat. “Do you, uhh… do you remember what else happened that night?”

I nodded my head, looking down at my half eaten sandwich. “I do. How could I forget?” I looked at him, his eyes already on me. I had a feeling about what would happen next, and I wanted it to, but I instead cleared my throat. As I opened my mouth to say the memory, I heard the first period bell ring.

“Guess that’s our cue,” I sighed. “Let’s go try and learn something. Oh! Did you ever finish your essay?”

He shook his head, “No. I missed the deadline.”

“Steve, I’m so sorry,” I said, sadness in my tone and facial features.

“It’s alright, there’s always next time,” he sighed. “Come on. We don’t wanna be late.”

~~~

Second period. Gym. Well… it was Steve’s gym period. I had another class, but Steve had also asked me to sit in the gym with him like I used to, so I went and got my classwork from my teacher and went to the gym.

Watching Steve in his element playing basketball was… awesome. I hadn’t seen him play in what felt like forever, it was nice seeing him play again… even if it is against Billy Hargrove being a skin. Skins vs Shirts.

When I heard someone grunt, I looked up from my papers, seeing Steve and Billy’s back towards me. I could hear their conversation.

“Harrington, right?” Billy said. “I heard you used to run this school. That true? King Steve they used to call you, huh? Then you turned bitch.”

“Hey, maybe you should just shut up and just play the game,” Steve said.

“Don’t let him get to you, Steve,” I muttered, knowing he couldn’t hear me. I was about three benches high on the bleachers.

Billy went around Steve, getting the ball from him while knocking Steve to the ground. I jumped a little, a grimace look on my face. My eyes were on Steve the whole time as he got up, so I guess Billy made a basket because his teammates cheered for him.

As soon as Steve rested his hands on his knees, I went back to my work for a moment before hearing Nancy calling his name. He walked over the bleachers, grabbing a towel and putting it around his neck.

I felt a tap on my arm, so I looked over, seeing Steve gesturing to the door with his head. I put my stuff down, and got down off the bleachers, following him and Nancy to the pathway in between the gym and another building.

“What are you doing here?” Steve asked.

“What do you think?” Nancy retorted. “Where were you this morning? I missed first period.”

“No need to be harsh,” I muttered.

“I figured Jonathan would take you,” Steve said.

Looking at me, Nancy asked, “Wha… what is he talking about?”

“I told you to go on easy on the fuel,” I sighed. “You remember the party last night, right?”

“Yes.”

“What happened during and after?” I asked, crossing my arms.

“I remember dancing, and… spilling some punch, Steve got mad at me because I was drunk, and then you two took me home.”

Steve scoffed. “No, yeah, see, that’s where your mind gets a little bit fuzzy. That was your other boyfriend. That was… that was Jonathan.”

“I don’t understand,” Nancy said.

“In all fairness, I did tell him to take her home,” I said, gently tapping a couple times on his shoulder.

“It’s pretty simple, Nancy,” Steve said. “You were just telling it like it is.”

Looking at me, she asked, “What?”

Seeing Steve looking at the ground, I knew I had to take care of this. “Uhm… let’s see. Apparently, all three of us killed Barb ‘cause she’s the only person on your mind these days and we don’t care, apparently Steve is bullshit, and your whole–”

“Our whole– our whole relationship is bullshit, and… I mean, pretty much everything is bullshit, bullshit, bullshit,” Steve said, counting the last three bullshit’s on his fingers. “Oh, yeah, also, you don’t love me.”

“I was drunk, Steve,” Nancy said. “I don’t remember any of that.”

I stood a step back as Steve exclaimed, “So that makes everything that you said– it’s what? It’s just bullshit, too?”

“Yes.”

“Well, then tell me,” Steve said, voice breaking ever so slightly.

I stepped back to him, feeling the need to be there for my best friend now more than ever.

“Tell you what?” Nancy asked.

“You love me,” Steve said.

I was pissed at Nancy for giving her retort of, “Really?”

“Harrington!” came Drew’s voice. I turned around and looked at him as he said, “Dude, we need you, man! That douchebag’s killing us, let’s go! Come on!”

I felt Steve’s hand brush against my back as he said, “Alright!”

Turning my head, I looked at Nancy, rolling my eyes as she didn’t give Steve the answer he wanted. She looked down in the direction of my shoes before looking back up at Steve, giving us both the answer we knew; she didn’t love him and she probably never did.

Putting his hand on my back, he pushed me gently, but I shrugged him off as he told Nancy, “I think that you’re bullshit.” Hearing his footsteps walk away, all I could do was keep my eyes on Nancy.

“Did you ever really love him?” I asked. “Like, truly?”

She didn’t give me a reply either.

I scoffed. “I still stand by what I said last night. That you just ruined the best thing you ever had. I hope you don’t fuck up with Jonathan because if you do, there’s no coming back from that.” I walked back into the gym, taking my seat. I couldn’t focus on my school work, so I just watched Steve play basketball until it was time for them to hit the showers.

~~~

As I walked outside from turning in my homework late, I saw Billy’s car zoom off. All I see when I look at him or his car is the color red. I still wanted to hurt him. Before I could run off after his car, an arm on my shoulders pulling me in the opposite direction stopped me.

“Let me take you to work.”

“Steve, I don’t wanna work, I wanna kill,” I said.

“No, you don’t.”

I sighed, relenting. We got in his car and drove in silence for a few moments before he said, “Thank you. For being there for me today.”

“Anytime,” I smiled.

“And last night.”

“It’s no problem, Steve. Really.”

I looked at him, seeing the ghost of a smile creep across his face. We didn’t bring up Nancy or the fact that they broke up. We talked about almost anything and everything, and not the fact that my feelings for my best friend hit me like a charter bus.

When we arrived at the station, Steve told me to stay put as he got out. I watched with confusion as he walked over to my side of the car and opened the door. He helped me out, which I told him he didn’t need to.

He wished me a good day at work before he gave me a hug, our special hug. I walked to the station door as I heard his car door shut before turning around to wave him goodbye before he drove off.

I walked inside, punched my timecard and got to work doing all the things that Flo prepared for me, like always.

“Where’s Hop?” I asked.

“He went out,” she replied.

“Where, Flo?” I smiled.

She didn’t say anything, and that told me she really didn’t know.

I sighed, and stood up. She started writing something on her pad of paper as I grabbed my things and went back outside the station. Walking home, I knew that what I was doing was stupid, but Hopper was like a father to me since my own abandoned his own family.

When I got home, I asked my mom if I could borrow her car, to which she told me she needed it for errands. I totally understood, so I walked back outside and got on my bike, going to whatever property Hopper was on since that morning I heard him say something about the pumpkin patches.

When I found him, he was standing with a man from the lab. I only knew he was from the lab because Hopper told me about him. I guess Hop heard me walking quickly towards them because he turned his head before approaching me.

“What are you doing here?” he asked. “You’re supposed to be at the station.”

“And leave all the fun to you? No way.”

He sighed. “Stay quiet.”

We walked back over to the man, the smell of the rotting pumpkins hitting me in the face.

I watched as men in white hazmat suits packed a few pumpkins into metal boxes. “What?” I said quietly.

“Well, you were right about these pumpkins,” the other man said. “Some nasty stuff. And the smell– gee, mother of God.”

“Damn,” I muttered.

“Dr. Sam Owens,” the man said.

I looked at him, seeing his hand sticking out.

“Olivia, or Liv,” I said, shaking his hand.

“We got a last name?”

“You from the lab?”

He looked at Hopper, who was looking ahead.

“Then to you, I have no last name.”

“Henderson,” Dr. Owens said.

“What?”

“What exactly do you think is going on–” Hop said.

“Well, I told you what I think,” Dr. Owens replied. “But, we’ll run the tests, and we’ll see what comes up. In the meantime, I just need you to keep the area clear for us. I don’t think it’ll be more than a day or two.”

Turning to face Dr. Owens a little bit, Hopper asked, “What do you want me to tell people?”

I swatted a few flies away from me as Dr. Owens replied, “I’m sure you’ll think of something. Olivia can help you.”

“Olivia can do what now?” I asked, swatting at the air.

Dr. Owens walked away as Hop’s radio went off. “Hey, Chief, you copy?”

Hopper answered with, “Yeah.”

“Do you remember that Russian girl Murray was going on about the other day? Yeah, well, now I’m thinking he’s not so crazy after all.”

Hopper looked at me, putting a hand on my shoulder to guide me to his truck as he said into his walkie, “Stay where you are. Do not move.” Putting his radio away, he said to me, “Put your bike in the back and get in, now.”

Henry Danger Reader Insert | Captain Man x Reader: SEASON 1

Episode 14: Let's Make A Steal

~Junk-N-Stuff~

"Hey guys, I got the light bulbs," Henry said, walking backwards into the store where he worked. He had a tray in his hands, but it soon went flying into the air when his colleagues jumped out at him.

"SURPRISE!" Ray, Charlotte, (y/n) and Gooch all yelled, as the lightbulbs smashed into millions of pieces of the fall.

"What was that for? It's not my birthday" The teen boy asked them, his heart still racing from the shock.

"We know." Ray smiled, as he pulled his sidekick further into the store towards Charlotte and (y/n).

"Give us your head," Charlotte told her friend. She began to spray his blond locks down with a can of hair spray, as (y/n) used some of her powdered foundation to tone down some of the boy's shininess.

"You, little buddy, are gonna be on television." The superhero said to Henry, who looked confused but also ecstatic at the idea of going on TV.

"I'll get the shirt." Gooch piped up and he dashed into the back of the shop.

"Shirt? Wait, what are you rubbing on my face?" Henry asked the young woman as she continued to dab his cheekbones.

"Makeup." She said simply.

"Why?" The boy asked, very puzzled at the bizarre situation he found himself in.

"You're gonna be on Spin And Win," Charlotte told him, and Henry was suddenly very excited. He loved watching the programme at home.

"The game show?" He grinned.

"Yep," Ray confirmed, (y/n) slapping his hands away when he tried to touch Henry's face. She wasn't about to let him grease up the boy's face again.

"Hey, which shirt should Henry wear? Gooch one or Gooch two?" Gooch said, having returned with two shirts that each had a photo of his face printed on them.

"Neither."

"Both look hideous." Ray and (y/n) said, both of them frowning at the weird shirts.

"Oh come on, Gooch is the new black." The Indian man tried to defend his clothing items, but Ray wouldn't let Henry go on national television with the man's face across his chest.

"Just go pick a different shirt." The boss said, so Gooch huffed and did as he was told.

"All right, can someone tell me why we're doing this?" Henry asked, putting his hands over Charlotte's hairbrush and (y/n)'s makeup sponge.

"We'll all tell you." The girl said to him, excited at revealing their devious plan.

"Alternating?" Ray looked at the two females.

"Sure. You start." Charlotte said to him, so Ray spun Henry around to face him.

"You know those weird burglaries that have been happening all over town?" The large man started, flicking Henry's hair around to get it to a good look. Next, it was (y/n)'s turn to talk to the teen.

"And how the police have no idea how the burglars are getting in and out of the people's houses?" She carried on, this time brushing his eyebrows out as she spoke to him. When she was done, Charlotte grabbed his shoulders and made him look at her.

"Well, I figured out that in every one of the houses that have been burglarised, someone had recently been on Spin and Win and won." The dark-haired girl sprayed his hair and brushed the product through. She wanted hold, but not crunch.

"But then, all the winner's prizes were stolen from their houses," Ray said, stepping back a little so he could admire their handiwork.

"You guys realise there's broken glass all over the floor." Henry pointed out to them, as Gooch came back with a cute, plaid button-down for Henry.

"How about this one?" The storekeeper showed them all, and they all agreed that it was perfect.

"That's great, it'll go with his eyes." (y/n) smiled, knowing that the kid would look great in front of the camera.

"Pop that ugly shirt off," Charlotte told him, not liking the black and blue t-shirt Henry had paired with an orange and blue paid button-down.

"Why do I have to change clothes?" He asked, thinking that his choice of outfit was good.

"Because you gown' be on TV, boy," Ray said in a southern accent, his high pitch making Henry giggle.

"Yeah, don't you wanna look gooooood?" (y/n) joined in, copying Henry's catchphrase.

"I thought I looked gooooood before I came in here." The boy looked at her, also using the elongated word.

"Ehhhhh." The rest of them said as Ray pulled off the orange shirt. Despite the insult about his clothing, Henry was still chipper, mainly because he was set to go on his favourite game show.

"Man, I can't believe I'm going on Spin and Win." He smiled, letting his friends groom him and change his clothes.

'Hey, what happens if Henry doesn't win?" Gooch said, putting a dampener on the merriment.

"He better win," Charlotte said, looking at the boy with serious eyes.

"Why?" Surely, just trying his best was enough, right?

"So you'll get the prizes..." Ray told him, helping him to slide the red plaid up his arms.

"And then, we lie and wait to see if your house is burgled." (y/n) smiled at him like it was no big deal.

"Wait, hang on," Henry interjected with a protest.

"You're smarter than me, why don't you go on the show and win?" He asked Charlotte, thinking that she'd be the more logical choice.

"I don't want my house burgled." She said in an obvious tone. They were doing the final touches on Henry's look when the kid's phone began to win.

"What's up?" The boy greeted, his father on the other end of the line.

"Hey Henry, would you please come home?" His dad asked as the others tried to brush his hair and apply makeup.

"Why?" He replied, batting away at their hands so he could concentrate.

"Because Jasper came over to hang out, but you're not here, Piper doesn't like him, your mom's at the rodeo until Sunday, and I got nothing to say to this kid." Mr Hart told his son, offending Jasper who was sat on the couch.

"Well, I'm not gonna be home until later tonight," Henry said, not bothering to stop the hands all over his face.

"Oh. Working late at the store?" Mr Hart asked.

"Nah, I'm gonna be on Spin and Win." The 13-year-old told his father excitedly.

"The game show?" The man said in disbelief.

"Yeah," Henry confirmed.

"Piper. Your brother's gonna be on Spin and Win." The boy heard his dad tell his little sister in the background.

"Can we go?" Henry's dad asked his son after Piper expressed her interest in seeing Henry play.

"Can my dad go to the show with my little sister?" The sidekick looked at Ray and (y/n) as he held the microphone to his chest.

"I guess." Ray nodded.

"Just tell them that they need to get there early so they can get tickets." The woman added, adding a small amount of blush to his cheeks so he didn't look so gaunt.

"Yeah, just get there early," Henry repeated what she'd said to his dad, hanging up the phone.

Charlotte and (y/n) stepped back from him, happy with the finished product.

"You're all done." They both smiled at him and handed the boy a mirror.

"I look goooood." Henry joked as Ray clapped him on the back.

"How'd you even get me a place on the show?" He asked his boss, who just pointed at his best friend.

"I know a guy who works for the network. He owed me a favour so, now we can play Spin and Win." She smiled at Henry. She had connections everywhere, especially in the most unlikely places.

"Well, what are we waiting for?" Charlotte said to them all, so they ushered Henry into the Man Van and drove to the place where the game show was filmed.

~Spin and Win Studio~

The filming studio was amazing. The audience was sold out, the lights were bright and intense, there were stagehands everywhere, the place was buzzing. The presenter walked out onto the floor and introduced himself to the crowd, as Ray, (y/n) and Charlottespoke to Henry one last time before the show began.

"Now, remember, you have to win this game." Ray reminded him, which made (y/n) hit his pectoral with her hand.

"No pressure though." She said to the kid, not wanting him to have a nervous breakdown.

"And keep your eye open for any suspicious activity," Charlotte added too, prompting them that there was something fishy going on surrounding the show.

"Right." Henry nodded, taking a deep breath to calm his nerves.

"Yeah, stay focused. Can't let anything distract you from..." Ray let out a weird moan/groan as three beautiful women came to the stage area. They were wearing long, beautiful dresses and had had their makeup applied by a very talented makeup artist. (y/n) sighed quietly at his reaction, thinking that he never looked at her that way when she entered a room. The fact that they had captured his attention so easily made her feel so downhearted.

"Uh...I better go...check out those girls." Ray said to the three of them, hoping that the three of them would be enough to fill the (y/n)-sized hole in his heart. If only he knew how his words and actions made her feel severely undressed and inadequate. What did they have that she couldn't give him?

"Why?" Charlotte asked him in an accusing tone, knowing that every time he pulled something like this, (y/n) buried her feelings even deeper into her heart. She and Henry were worried that one day, she would dig too deep and lose her love for him, leaving him wondering where it all went wrong.

"It's my job." He stated in an obvious voice, walking over to the game-show-girls. (y/n) swallowed her jealousy as she watched him shake hands with each one of them, wishing that she could've captivated him like that when she first met him.

Unlike the glamourous ladies, she had been wearing sweatpants and a coffee-stained t-shirt when she first encountered Captain Man. Her favourite cafe had been robbed and the famed superhero had been called to a hostage situation, (y/n) being the one held captive. However, she wasn't going to stick around and leave her life in a stranger's hands. So using what little knowledge she had in self-defence, she beat the weapon out of his grip and whacked the robber over the head with a chair. She then promptly served herself another iced latte and walked out of the cafe to tell the beefy man that she'd done the job for him, and well, the rest was history.

Snapping out of her daydream, she heard a man calling Henry to the stage, and before she knew it, Charlotte was pulling her backstage to where they would watch Henry with bated breath.

Little did she know that when Ray first laid eyes on her, he'd never seen anyone so beautiful or fallen quite so hard. ~

Henry had been surprisingly good so far in the game and he had made it into the final two. Charlotte had pulled Ray away from the pretty women and (y/n) was holding onto his arm tightly, her nervous nature making her feel on-edge for the boy.

"Okay, we got a tie game going, whoever gets the next question right, will move onto our final round, where they will the five spectacular prizes you see rotating on that thing over there." The presenter said to the two contestants, as Ray and Charlotte looked at each other nervously.

"Hey," Charlotte said to two kids around her age, deciding to take the time to explore the backstage area. The boy and girl spun around in their chairs and looked at her with irritation on their faces.

"Uh, it must be fun having a dad who's the host of a cool game show." She carried on despite the daggers they were glaring at her, hoping that she could break the ice.

"Yeah, it's so great."

"We just love being forced to work here while our friends get to go out and have fun." They spat at her sarcastically, making Charlotte jump back at their tones.

"Oh. Well...what are those buttons for? Do they make the prize wheel spin?" The girl asked them in a cheerful and friendly voice.

"Um, I'm hoping this button makes you walk away." The rude boy said as he repeatedly jammed a button.

"Well," Charlotte said in disgust, getting the message and leaving the kids to be mean on their own.

"Ready, guys? For one thousand points, what do these three celebrities have in common, Jimmy Fallon, Jack Black and Taylor Swift?" The presenter asked, making Henry and his female opponent look away in thought. Henry pressed his buzzer, thinking he knew the answer.

"None of them have won Olympic medals." He said confidently, which was taken as a correct answer. He was through to the final round!

"Yeah!" Ray jumped up in happiness, spilling his popcorn a little, but (y/n) and Charlotte were too happy to care. What they didn't know was the two mean kids from before were hypnotising Henry as he looked at the prizes.

"Wait, what's wrong with Henry?" (y/n) pointed out that the kid looked dazed and didn't hear when the presenter called his name.

"Is he drooling?" Ray asked as the woman next to him stole some of his popcorn.

"Oh, Henry?" Henry snapped out of the trance as the criminals backstage stopped the hypnosis screen and a stagehand came out to wipe his mouth.

"You okay?" The host asked as the boy came to his senses.

"Yeah, sorry, Rick." Henry smiled at the crowd and nervously laughed. What had happened back there?

"No worries. Now, to win those five prizes there on the prize wheel, you'll have to identify ten breeds of dogs in under thirty seconds." Rick said to him, making (y/n) grab Ray's arm in delight.

"Oh my god, this is my specialist subject!" She squealed, having looked at every dog breed on the supercomputer when she was pining for a pet.

"Come on, kid." Ray encouraged, even though Henry couldn't hear him.

"You got this, Henry," Charlotte said too, giving the boy all her best wishes.

"Let's do it!" The teen clapped his hands together and prepared for the images that were about to come on screen.

"Your time begins...now!" The presenter said as the first dog appeared on the monitor.

"German Shepard!" Henry answered immediately, making (y/n) gasp in delight. She knew a heck of a lot about dogs.

"Cocker Spaniel!" Another right answer, maybe they had a common interest.

"Norwegian Blue Hound!" Or maybe not.

"No! That's an Alaskan Malamute!" (y/n) sighed, feeling for the kid. Ray and Charlotte winced at his incorrect answer too, but the boy moved past his mistake quickly.

"Great Dane!" He got back on track with another right answer.

"Micro Mini Goldendoodle!" That was a hard one, but luckily, the kid was able to recognise its adorable cuteness.

"Maltese!" He said, breaking his answer streak.

"No, it's Bichon Frisé." (y/n) turned into Ray's arm, knowing that it didn't matter if she knew them because she wasn't Henry.

"Schnauzer!" Only five more correct answers to go.

"Uhhhh, Mexican Bulldog." Henry guessed, making (y/n) groan.

"No, French Bulldog, French Bulldog!" She whispered, his fists clenching as the timer ticked down.

"Russell Hicks Terrier!" The three backstage were holding their breath in anticipation, their hearts racing too.

"Come on, just four more!" Charlotte squealed as she and (y/n) squeezed Ray's biceps.

"You're hurting my arms." He said to them in a strained voice, causing the girls to quickly pull away.

"Oh, sorry!" (y/n) apologised, rubbing the spot where she had gripped him too tightly.

"I'm okay." He mumbled out his catchphrase before becoming engrossed in Henry's performance again.

"Spotless Dalmation!" Henry said. He was so close!

"Wang--dooby-doo-doo!" He had no clue what the hairless dog was.

"Chinese Crested, French Bulldog mix!" (y/n) said aloud without thinking, her vast knowledge on the subject making the man and girl next to her look at her strangely.

"What? I like dogs." She told them.

"Rottweiler!" One more to go!

"Just one dog away!" Charlotte and (y/n) were holding each other in excitement.

"Uhhh...Shih Zhu?" Henry stuttered out, winning the game with seconds to spare.

"And Henry Hart wins the five prizes on that thing there!" His three friends were cheering and jumping for joy backstage. Ray gave Charlotte a high five and kissed (y/n)'s cheek without thinking. She stepped back with tinted cheeks, but she could just blame it on the excitement.

"Wait there!" Ray gave her his popcorn and ran to the stage. He danced onto the stage and put an arm around two girls, a huge smile on his face as he acted like he was meant to be there. The butterflies in (y/n)'s stomach died away as she watched the girls cuddle into him. Looks like the kiss meant nothing at all, it was just his flirty nature getting the better of him.

A stagehand came to take him away, the large man not being allowed on camera even though he knew Henry. Ray struggled against him, ranting about how it was his job, but he was dragged off by his feet all the same.

~Henry's house~

"What? You didn't see me win the game show?" Henry asked his dad on the phone, as his friends moved all his prizes from the van outside into his house. Ray came in with an electric guitar, (y/n) carrying the amp behind him.

"No, Piper got into a fight with an usher, and then she broke Jasper's nose with her selfie stick." Mr Hart told the story.

"Where do you want the hot yoghurt machine?" Charlotte interrupted with the odd device in her hands.

"Over there." Henry pointed to a spot in the kitchen and the girl did as she was told. In the hospital room, Mr Hart was shushing Jasper, as the poor boy was groaning in pain.

"I think we're gonna be here for a while. I called Jasper's parents, but they can't come to the hospital." Henry's dad said.

"Why can't they?" Henry asked, thinking that surely their only child was the most precious thing in their lives.

"They ordered a pizza and they want to wait for the pizza." He replied, outraging Henry, but he didn't say anything since he knew Jasper might hear it.

"Got it." He said. Ray plugged in the instrument he had brought in, making (y/n) look at him with excitement. She always loved it when he played, even if it was a rare treat.

"So, Piper and I'll stay here with Jasper until they release him." Mr Hart told his son, which meant Henry had free reign of the house until he returned.

"Cool. Poop ya later." The teenager said goodbye to his father in a weird way.

"Poop ya." And with that, the call ended. Ray was playing some riffs on the guitar, as Henry turned to the two adults near the couch.

"Looks like my dad's gonna be in the hospital all night." Henry rolled his eyes, making Charlotte stand up in worry.

"Your dad's at the hospital? What happened?" She questioned.

"No, Piper broke Jasper's nose with her selfie stick." The boy told his friend.

"Oh my god, Piper has a selfie stick?" Charlotte was less concerned about her curly-haired friend and more about the idea of Piper with another gadget.

"God help us." (y/n) breathed out. To be fair, she and Piper got on fairly well, especially after she took her to the movies, bought her snacks and essentially facilitated her becoming the president of the Man Fans.

"So, uh, where's your mom?" Ray asked, his fingers dancing up the fretboard. The young woman next to him tensed at his question, remembering how he was all over her the last time they were at Henry's house.

"At the rodeo until Sunday," Henry said in annoyance, not liking that Ray fancied his mother to get over (y/n). Ray played a country riff on the guitar, trying to impress the three around him, but they didn't care.

"You said rodeo. So I played a riff with a...country flair." Ray stated, smirking at (y/n) as he tickled the strings. She rolled her eyes at his antics.

"What's the plan tonight?" Henry asked Charlotte, leaving the adults to play with the guitar.

"I say we just hang out here all night..." Charlotte was interrupted as Ray played a rock and roll riff from one of (y/n)'s favourite songs. How could he deny her request when she smiled so brightly?

"And wait for the burglar to try to break in." Charlotte finished explaining, as (y/n) hugged Ray in thanks and he put the guitar around her neck. She played a similar sound, impressing the man that she knew how to play.

"And if the burglar does break in, we jump on him and stop that!" Henry shouted at (y/n) as she and Ray got too carried away by the music. The two pulled pouty faces and the woman played a sad riff as they backed off.

~Thirty minutes later~

Each person had spread across the house, looking through windows to see which way the burglar would come in. Charlotte was armed with a baseball bat, and (y/n) had a shovel from the garage. Ray and Henry were more than capable of kicking ass, so they just stuck with their fists.

"Do you see anything?" (y/n) whispered to Ray as he peered out of a window that faced the garden. Her makeshift weapon was clutched tightly in her hand, but Ray was certain she wouldn't need it. He would fight until his last breath to keep her safe.

"Hey, hey! A van just pulled up in front of the house." Charlotte yelled from her position at the door, making the others dash over to her.

"A van?" Henry reiterated.

"Criminals love vans." Ray hissed, as they looked through the windows.

"It's gotta be the burglars!" (y/n) gasped, seeing how creepy the shady van was. Suddenly, a phone started to buzz.

"Who's phone's vibrating?" Charlotte asked, everyone, frowning since there was no time for a nice chat.

"Mine. Someone wants to video chat me." Henry took his phone from his pocket and saw that there was no caller I.D.

"It's bad luck not to accept a video chat." The teen girl said to him, so he moved away from the group and answered the call. Staring at the screen, the same swirly video from the game show began to play. Henry's face fell into a gormless expression, as Derek and Maddy hypnotised him again. Speaking through a microphone in the studio, the brother and sister instructed Henry to put all his prizes into the van.

Ending the call, a delirious Henry started to pick up all his new stuff and started to take it outside, much to the bewilderment of Ray, (y/n) and Charlotte, who hadn't noticed anything during the call. The boy just walked past them, leaving them to stand in confusion, as he burglarised himself.

"Hey, where you taking that?" Ray asked him, feeling puzzled.

"Henry, wha--He just walked past us." Charlotte was utterly baffled.

"And I think he was drooling again." The man pointed out, as (y/n) took her shovel onto the porch.

"He's putting everything in the van!" She pointed to the boy, who just walked back into the house to pick up another item.

Ray stood in front of him to stop him from moving.

"Henry, why are you putting your prizes in that van outside?" The superhero asked, but the kid just stayed silent.

"Say something," Charlotte added, but again, Henry said nothing. (y/n) put her hand on his shoulder, but he just shrugged her off and grabbed Ray's underwear elastic and pulled it up, causing the man to groan in pain. The two females flinched as his eyes watered at the pain. With Ray out of his way, Henry was free to pick up another prize.

"Why's Henry acting so weird?" Ray asked as he rearranged his underwear.

"I don't know. But it started when someone video-chatted him. Maybe..." Charlotte realised.

"Sweet cheese, hypnosis." (y/n) clicked her fingers and looked up at Ray with wide eyes.

"Hypnosis?" The teen girl wasn't convinced that a person could be put in a trance and made to do things against their will.

"Yeah, you know, mind tricks and stuff," Ray said to her.

"So that's why the cops could never catch the burglar," Charlotte exclaimed, piecing everything together.

"Because there is no burglar." Ray realised too.

"So someone's figured out a way to make people burgle themselves." (y/n) finishing, blowing out her cheeks at the revelation.

"Hey, guys!" Henry sauntered in happily, having no recollection of what had just happened after the siblings released him from the hypnosis.

"Hey, where'd all my prizes go?" The boy's face fell as he noticed the empty room.

"You picked them up, took them outside, and put them in a van," Charlotte explained, Henry looking at her like she'd grown a second head.

"And then the van drove off." (y/n) said with her arms folded.

"Huh?" The boy was very confused.

"We'll explain later. Right now we're going to track that van and find your prizes." Ray reassured him that he would get his things back.

"And find the criminals who made you burglarise yourself," Charlotte added, knowing that her friend would want justice for himself and the other victims.

"Good thing I put trackers on all the prizes, right?" (y/n) smiled, which made Ray give her a side hug as if to say he was proud of her.

"Right, but first..." The man walked from her side and over to Henry. In revenge for what the boy did to him earlier, he grabbed Henry's underwear elastic and pulled it upwards, making him release a similar groan.

"Owwwww!" Henry howled.

"Raymond!" (y/n) shouted at his pettiness. The kid had been hypnotised, he couldn't help his actions. Ray let go of the underwear with a snap and walked out the door, his best friend following him and shouting obscenities, leaving Henry to waddle out with Charlotte.

~Back at the studio~

"No, no. We'll sell you four of the prizes. No, just four. 'Cause, we're keeping the hot yoghurt machine." Derek said to another criminal on the phone, wanting to sell the hot items they had stolen quickly.

"Yeah, we are." Maddy joined him, wanting to keep the best prize for themselves.

"All right, they are on their way over with the money." The boy nodded at the girls Ray had fancied, and they all expressed their excitement at the idea of getting paid for their involvement.

Suddenly, the lights came on and Henry and Ray burst on the scene dressed in their Kid Danger and Captain Man uniforms.

"Hey! Get your hands off that hot yoghurt machine." Henry snapped at the girls, making them back off.

"Captain Man and Kid Danger," Maddy whispered in worry to her brother, knowing how strong the superheroes duo were.

"What do you guys want?" Derek barked at them.

"We want you to stop hypnotising innocent game show contestants and stealing their prizes." Ray snapped back.

"Yeah, that's what we want." Henry agreed with him, glaring at the kids.

"You kids make me sad. 'Cause, you're jerks." Captain Man shook his head in disappointment at how the kids had behaved.

"You don't know anything about us," Maddy said in a whiny voice.

"You have no idea what it's like spending all day working here." Derek carried on after his sister.

"Watching other people win cool prizes." The girl added in an agitated voice.

"So you think it's okay to hypnotise innocent prize winners?"

"And force them to give their prizes back?" The superheroes asked.

"So you guys can sell them for money?" They were both disgusted with how spiteful the siblings were.

"It's worked out great so far."

"Well, yeah. I mean--we have no problem with it." Were their answers, so Henry decided it was time to stop them.

"Well, now it's time for you two to spin and--" He started, but Ray cut him off.

"And lose." The quip lost its coolness when they both tripped over each other's words.

"I was gonna say that." Kid Danger sighed to his boss.

"Yeah, sure you were." The large man retorted.

"You guys are gonna get it now." Maddy hissed at them.

"Girls! Show our contestants what they've won." Derek smirked as he and his stepped back, and the beautiful women stepped into fighting stances.

"I think those girls wanna fight us," Henry said in alarm.

"I could think of worse things," Ray smirked to him, but Henry decided to tease him even more.

"Dude, you know you would rather (y/n) do that stuff, not them." It was Henry's turn to smirk, and Ray flushed into a deep red.

"HEY!" The man shoved him a little bit, not wanting to think of his friend like that at that moment. He would melt into a puddle if he did.

"We can't hit girls," Henry said to him, as he refocused on the situation at hand.

"Right," Ray said as he shook himself back to propriety.

"Quinoa!"

"Bok choy!"

"Fugu!" The three women shouted the three foods as they jumped out at the males.

"How do we fight 'em?" Henry asked Ray, the three girls looking tough.

"Uh, we don't. Just try to avoid getting hurt." Ray said, also panicking.

"But how do we--" The boy was cut off as a brunette came charging towards him, doing numerous flips and athletic moves. All Ray and Henry could do were avoid their attacks and occasionally push them back. The woman punched and kicked them across the studio, as the brother and sister smirked at the frightened heroes. Henry ran around the podiums to avoid the brunette as she tried to hit him. A redhead punched Ray across the face as a blonde knocked him off his feet. They were getting their asses whooped.

Henry crawled under a table to hide, as Ray was dragged across the floor by his foot.

"Seriously?" He asked, feeling helpless, as Henry crawled away from the woman. She punched him on his back, sending him to the floor as Ray was being pummeled. The two women had him in a chokehold, as Henry grabbed the brunette's hair, and to his surprise, it came off. It was a wig!

"Captain Man!" Henry called out to his boss.

"What?" The man struggled out as the blonde tried to crush his windpipe.

"These girls are dudes." Henry yelled at him, the 'brunette' holding his hands over his real hair. Ray pulled the redhead's and blonde's wigs off and saw for himself that Henry was telling the truth.

"They are dudes!" He growled, but it seemed the criminals were just as shocked as they were.

"Did you know they were dudes?" Dereck asked his sister.

"I had no idea." She said, her eyes as wide as saucers.

"Now what?" Henry asked.

"Now we can hit them as hard and as often as we want," Ray exclaimed.

"Then let's do that!" Henry punched the former brunette, as Ray freed himself from the choke. The siblings were starting to look more and more worried as Captain Man and Kid Danger fought against the men. Ray shoved two of them together as Henry pulled the other one's nose. Using a roundhouse kick, the larger man knocked out his opponents, and his sidekick used one final punch to add one more body to the floor.

"Nah!" He mocked the men, the criminal kids knowing that the game was up.

"And to think I was gonna ask all three of you out at the same time," Ray said to the groaning henchmen, as Henry glared at him, thinking about how upset (y/n) would have been to see him wine and dine three girls at once.

"I guess you're going to call the cops on us now," Dereck said sheepishly.

"Yeah, I am." Captain Man deadpanned. They had done the crime, now they had to do the time.

"(y/n) saved the number, it's nine, one--" Henry tried to tell his boss, aware of how dumb he was sometimes.

"I know the number." He snapped, making the call so the kids could face justice.

~Later that night~

Mr Hart, Jasper and Piper came home to many surprising things. The first was the numerous prizes scattered across the living room. The second was seeing the number of people still in their house, including Ray and (y/n) who were strangers to Mr Hart. And the third was that Ray was playing a riff on the guitar, just as they opened the door.

"Hey!" The four people greeted them.

"Wow."

"What is all this?" Piper and her dad exclaimed as they entered the house, eyeing all the new gadgets.

"The prizes I won on the game show," Henry explained to his family as Piper picked up a weird device.

"Whoa. What's this thing?" She asked him, picking it to inspect it.

"It's for fighting sharks." (y/n) told the little girl, who looked impressed.

"It's called a sharkpoon," Charlotte added. Ray nudged Henry, gesturing to himself and (y/n) since he felt awkward just standing there in a stranger's house.

"Oh, dad, these are my bosses from Junk-N-Stuff," Henry said to his father, who walked over to shake their hands.

"Oh." Mr Hart said with a smile on his face, happy to finally meet whom his son was working for.

"Ray Manchester." The brown-haired man said politely with a firm handshake before Mr Hart looked to the woman on his left.

"And I'm (y/n) (y/l/n), lovely to meet you." She gave him a warm smile.

"Yeah, you too." He greeted her back.

"You have a beautiful wife." Ray slipped into the conversation, as the young woman's smile tightened and became a little too wide.

"House, he meant house." She didn't miss a beat, correcting what her best friend had said when Mr Hart's face looked a bit confused. Even though what Ray said made her feel a pain in her heart, she was always there to pull him out when he got himself into trouble.

"Thanks." Mr Hart overlooked the comment, as Piper started going on about the shark weapon again.

"How does a sharpoon work?" She asked her brother.

"Be careful with that," Henry warned her. If that thing could bring down a shark, then it could probably seriously injure a person too.

"Be careful with that." Piper disparaged, before turning back to the sharpoon.

"So, how's your nose?" Charlotte asked Jasper, the boy's face being covered in bandages.

"Broken. But it's going to heal." He told her.

"And then it will it look better or worse?" The girl asked him, offending the boy who quite liked his nose.

"The same." He replied in a monotone voice.

"Sorry, dude." Charlotte apologised, but Jasper wasn't sure if she was apologising about the comment or how his nose was going to look.

"Okay people!" Henry called to his friends and family, beckoning them over to the kitchen where seven bowls of steaming hot yoghurt were waiting.

"Who's hungry for something goooooodd?" Henry smiled, as they all went over to the table.

"Okay, 'cause..." Henry started.

"HOT YOGHURT!" He and Charlotte said together, everyone getting excited over the treat.

"Wow, you won a ho-yo machine?" Mr Hart asked his son. They all grabbed a bowl, but (y/n) didn't look too keen when the smell hit her nose.

"Yeah, dad," Henry said, thinking that the sight of the machine on the table made it pretty obvious. (y/n) stirred the dairy dessert around with the spoon, not sure if she was gonna like it.

"You don't have to eat it if you don't want to," Ray murmured into her ear, but she smiled up at him reassuringly.

"No, you got beaten up by a load of men in lycra for this. I'm eating it." She said, getting the yoghurt on her spoon and ate a mouthful. It wasn't as bad as she thought it would be. It was warm and sweet, but not too sweet.

"That's good." She said and the others agreed with her.

"Well, I had a pretty bad day, but this makes up for all--" Jasper was cut off when Piper accidentally fired the sharpoon and the arrow went through his nose. The other people in the room looked at him in horror, immediately putting the weapon down. (y/n) put her yoghurt down on the table and went to help the boy.

"Okay, head back. Mr Hart, it looks like you're going back to the ER." She said, grabbing a tissue to dab up the dribble of blood that was coming out of the wound. Mr Hart sighed and grabbed his car keys.

"Come on, Jasper." He told the boy, guiding him to the door with a hand on his back.

"Sorry, dude," Henry called out to them, knowing that Jasper would have to have more work done on his nose. The boy just waved a hand behind his back as he and his friend's father left to go back to the hospital.

The rest of the group ate in a content silence for a few minutes, until (y/n) had about half a bowl left. Deciding that she wanted to cheer them all up, she took her spoon and wiped some yoghurt on the tip of Ray's nose.

"I got your nose too." She grinned up at him, making the kids look at them when Ray tickled her ribs in revenge. She shrieked out in laughter and Piper turned to Henry as she watched the friends laugh together and fall into a hug. Ray looked huge over her, and she gazed at him like he put the stars in the sky.

"Are they in love?" She whispered in her brother's ear.

"Yeah, definitely." He confirmed, seeing the way Ray returned the woman's loving stare.

"Are they boyfriend and girlfriend?" Piper asked again in a hushed tone.

"No. No, they are not." Henry sighed. The sight of the two would make anyone believe in love, but they couldn't see what was happening right in front of their faces.

"Well, they should be." The little girl told her brother, thinking that if soulmates existed, (y/n) would be Ray's.

"Yeah. Yeah, they should." The boy breathed out, praying to any Cupid out there to send an arrow their way.

mob + shoka + a laundromat late at "night", for the ficlet prompts

[set uhhhh vaguely between episode 14 and baseball. as with all things just pretend they visit this car somewhere in there]

"hey," mob says, passing in front of the washing machine where she's perched with her phone. "are you gonna help?"

"i am helping," shoka says, without looking up. "i'm moral support."

the group has a list of garments they need to find, to exit the car. shoka isn't doing that shit. the cars with an arbitrary list of things you have to find are so boring, and everyone else seems way more goal-oriented than her. they'll get it done in no time.

"you know, i - i still have questions for you," mob says.

"and i told you," shoka says, "i'm not answering."

"i don't get you," mob says.

she smirks. "i'm an enigma, baby. if that's all you've got, you can go back to your little scavenger hunt."

"no, i mean - i don't get you. you follow us away from the apex, you bully your way into coming with us, but you don't want us to know anything about you." mob's come to a full stop in front of her now, twisting whatever shirt or skirt he has in his hands into something more resembling a rope. "you haven't even tried to talk to any of us on, like, a real level besides insulting us. so, uh, i guess my question is, what the fuck is that about?"

"wow, you're swearing now? getting a little edgy since your friend left?"

shoka looks up through her lashes, watching the expression on mob's face skew more and more frustrated. if he stays here long enough, he's going to want to talk about her being dead, how she died, all that crap she doesn't care to answer. she's seen mob psycho 100, so she knows how this works. he finds an in to empathize with her, to make her realize something about herself - and shoka's in the business of a lot of things, but self-introspection isn't one of them.

"i'm trying to have a real conversation," mob says. "if you're going to stick with us, i feel like we deserve-"

"oh, tell me more about what you deserve," shoka says. she puts her phone aside, finally, to look mob in the eye; his gaze slides away from hers, just like she suspected it would. "you know why i haven't tried to talk to you? because i know you, dummy. i've seen your show. hey, i heard you went 100% in the casino, actually. how'd that feel? you scare any of your new friends?"

"that's - none of your business," mob says. his hands are balled into tight fists around the fabric he's holding, his knuckles paper-white.

"you're the one who wanted to talk," shoka says. "is this enough talking for you?"

mob opens his mouth to answer, real annoyance flashing in his eyes for a half-second.

"how's that percentage doing?" shoka asks sweetly, before he can get another word out.

"fine," mob says through his teeth. it's hard to tell if it's an actual answer or if he's just talking to himself, because he turns on his heel and walks off quickly afterwards, joining audrey on the other side of the room.

shoka shrugs and goes back to her phone. better to teach the kid now what happens when you corner a cat.

#interstitial infinity #marn writes #i love you unalive girl. shoka is really fun to write lmao she's so rude #i have a bunch of unfinished wips with her languishing in my gdocs #i also feel the need to say i haven't played neotwewy i only know shoka as riley plays her. thats shoka to me

2, 6, 7, 8, 14, 15, 18, 19 for Eddy (I know I'm too late, but I would like to know, please).

Thanks for the ask!!! No worries about it being late:) Good to chat (even if I talk a load of bologna 😁)

Under the cut

2.Favorite canon thing about this character?

Because I can't think of anything better right now, I'll say his seemingly vintage taste in music. Although maybe it ties in with everything he owns being vintage hand-me-downs. And on second thought, it's hard to say if Barry White and Tom Jones are supposed to be old-school in-universe, considering the kids' idea of party music is 60s surf rock haha.

6.What's something you have in common with this character?

You know, I always think I'm mostly an Ed and an Edd, but then I think "maybe we all have the three Eds deep down inside of us 😁" guess I sometimes like to imagine situations in which I could be a show off/be funny in front of an audience... A very Eddy desire.

7.What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?

I always love older fanart of him just having that slightly disheveled look and maybe smoking a cigarette, looking cool 😁 makes me imagine him with that slightly chiller demeanor (assuming he grows out some of his temper and controls his euphoria whenever he's got some big idea hehe)

8.What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?

Boring answer, but like everyone else I have not much interest in negative adult Eddy portrayals where the creator blatantly doesn't take the BPS developments into account. Give this kid a chance for chrissakes! Thankfully this is limited to some more, ahem, 'casual' fans 👀

14. Fashion aesthetic for this character.

In my lack of fashion sense, I'm just gonna mention a picture in my mind...leather jacket? (Maybe because of @torra-and-the-toons 's design?) Coupled with worn baggy jeans...

And is it weird I can see Eddy looking good in that sweater/collar-shirt combo if he were to dress more elegant? I swear I've seen it somewhere in fanart. Or him just wearing a hoodie... Is there look Eddy can't pull off??? Talk about a stubby no-neck chump 😎

15. Favorite ship?

It's... EddEddy, isn't it. Interestingly, it was never my OTP, and I wasn't interested in it when I first got in the fandom, but I slowly made myself learn to appreciate it. Nowadays it's certainly a ship I "default" to with those two characters. On the other hand I once went through a KevEddy phase... I still have a soft spot for it (no doubt thanks to lovely fanart by @mar-saturn and @chocowhomps ). It's also very interesting to me that there's at least 3 people I know of currently in the fandom (or who were actively in the fandom in the last year or so) who managed to ship both EddEddy and KevEddy, mmm 🧐...

18. Relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire?

First thing that comes to mind is his brief mentoring of Jimmy, even if it's a negative influence. "They grow up so fast... *dries tear*" And his one-on-one friendship with Ed is interesting to think about, especially how it might have started considering Edd supposedly came a little later in the picture (not by much though as they were still very young)

Also his crush on Nazz is kinda cute... I headcanon they'll be easy friends once they're a little older :)

19. Relationship they have in canon with another character that you don't like?

Honestly I'm stumped! Can't think of anyone right now haha. Maybe his disrespect of Rolf's culture/hospitality, if that's a thing? But I can't say if that's necessarily despicable or just part of the character's writing in certain episodes, or what.

Thanks for the ask again!

for the meta selfship ask game: 1, 6, 13, 14, 15! :3

HI AUSTIINN!!!! mwah

1. how did you discover your f/o’s content?

ok lets go off nishitani considering yknow the Everything about me. basically back last year when i was coming out the other side of my crohns recovery i had a Lot of free time cause i was only attending one class a day and i decided it would be a good time to get into like another video game franchise like resi evil that had a Lot of games i could occupy myself. and our good friend suha we all know and love had talked about yakuza in the past and it sounded like my kind of game so i bought yakuza 0. and the rest is history

6. if your f/o is from a series, which episode/movie/game/book of their source content is your favorite?

0. no question SDHGFSJD i think most yakuza fans have a similar opinion that 0 is probably objectively the best game - people might have their different unpopular faves but 0 has the most consistent story and character writing and compelling plot, and is where a lot of the gameplay is the most streamlined. my second fave is 7 cause its also got a great story and i loooove the way they handled switching the franchise to a turn based rpg its SO FUN :]

13. do you have a favorite line your f/o has ever said?

i dont have a specific favourite line but just every time he says something absolutely Unhinged is so funny. like majima is bi coded or whatever but nishitani straight up is explicitly graphically attracted to majima and he makes it everyones problem. this man talks about his dick SO much. says to majimas face that hes getting a boner multiple times. calls him stud. says "youre my new favourite toy" theres something wrong with him

14. what’s your favorite outfit your f/o has ever worn?

he has precisely one (1) outfit and its his ugly ass mauve suit and i ADORE IT. hes so hot sorry. the black shirt and the purple tie and the shoes that look like they dont match in the slightest.... sighs dreamily

15. do you own any merchandise from your f/o’s source content? what is it?

i do! ive bought a couple of prints that are stuck on my wall :) ive also been saving up All this year so i can buy the fanmade majima and nishitani plushes that are coming out at the end of the year like look theyre SO CUTE

“How could you not trust me?” i wouldnt either gotta be honest

Eros is so melodramatic istg

“Hey i got a phone” put ur name queen

Q&A 1

I wasnt gonna put anything for this but “i focus on details and seek out references for anatomy” girlie do you wanna. Start doing that again

Ep 17

Why is he just crying he can leave

“Woe is me” shut up Persephone

No it would suck to be sworn to maidenhood without her permission but also i dont think she understands what unrequited love is

“No one will ever love me like that” they might yall just cant do things

“And thats ok” is it??

“Little tart” good nickname tbh

Her eyes went blue but that will never happen again

Dont throw her list away eros

I know everyone says it but i hate that apollo is purple

Ep 18

Stop thinking of persephone like that its so weird hades

How do kings get banned genuinely like this is so wild rachel please show me the societal norm and class systems here

Haha so funny zeus is harassing someone -_-

What job would he give her honestly

How does the economy work you cant say that resell on gems is shit and not explain

Hades wow forcing them to accept a check youre so cool

This is locker room talk and i quite literally hate it

Ep 19

If hades doesnt want to discuss his sex life he is valid i wouldnt want to especially not to family

“Ok i can be a little bossy” this is a surprise tool thatll help up later

Like even if she was his age or whatever its literally so gross

Hera!!!

Ep 20

Lil kore is so cute

I like their interactions

She has a point its disgusting

However, i hate, like loathe, the miscommunication plot device. Answer hades Hera so i dont have to deal with this

Also zeus shut up you dont speak for hades

Hera should know that she is getting angry at Zeus and then misdirecting her anger its so annoying

This Week in BL - I'm sorry but The Sign just WINS

Organized, in each category, by ones I'm enjoying most at the top.

Dec 2023 Wk 3

Ongoing Series - Thai

The Sign (Sat YT) ep 5 of 10 - Fun fun fun. I feel sorry for Yai dealing with these two doomed lovers fated mate drama queens. He got a queen of his own to look after, cut the poor boy some slack.

Meanwhile, if evil... why so shirtless?

Hold on peeps, gotta rip my shirt off in a v stripper way, might get blood on it. Not that I’m complaining. Also, a strap? Man after my own heart.

Awe. Baby boy has magic sparkle punch!! Yay!

Meanwhile Phaya is my current fav himbo. These two are beyond pretty together. I love the stark contrast in their fantasies about each other. Phaya's is a way more romantic. Normally I don’t like a white towel sponge bath, but that was the most effective one ever deployed by any BL plot since Love Sick. Well done writer's room. This show is FANTASTIC.

Last Twilight (Fri YT) ep 7 of 12 - I say this every week but I truly love this show. Another pair of great communicators, I love that BL is giving us this right now (rather than the usual run of plot driven by willful miscommunication). I’m sad D was mean to M but I see where they’re coming from (for the purpose of story & plot). And the boys did a great job. Jimmy’s so lovely in this role.

But seriously people: Where did those old shoes come from in the middle of a marathon?

Random park shoes!

For Him (Thurs iQIYI) ep 4 of 10 - One of the most endearing things about these two is what good communicators they are. The sides are kinda cute: puppy+cat hyung romance. Love that for them (and me).

Twins the series (Fri GaGa) ep 8 of 10 - Sprite & First are so crush confession confused first-time tentative adorable. First got himself such a sweet troubled little puppy. What’s gonna happen when he finds out the big lie?

Pit Babe (Fri iQIYI) ep 6 of 14 - Jeff and Alan are best boys, i see a glimmer of hope for Way. Omegaverse mpreg possibility confirmed. Trash watch happening here.

Cooking Crush (Sun YT) ep 4 of 12 - I finally figured out that it’s the alternating voiceovers that bother me with this show. It gives it a Japanese manga feel, but I’m not wild about that in my Thai BL. Doc being jelly was fun, tho. Tiny confessions and secret smiles do make me happy. It’s sweet. I’m liking it better this week.

Bake Me Please (Mon Gaga) ep 5 of 6 - The conflict seems very manufactured. Okay, yes that's normal in BL, but you know what I mean... more than normal. Honestly? I’m on Guy’s side. Screw Shin, and not in a good way.

Middleman’s Love (Fri YT & iQIYI ep 7 of 8 - I really don’t like it that Jade has to be cruel to Mai. And Mai cruel back. ButJade is sweet when he’s a calm and smiley and shy. Boyfriend ep next week

My Universe (Sun iQIYI) Pisces of Me ep 18 of 24 - I just found this one extremely boring, I didn’t really enjoy any of the characters. And I think it might be incest? Ugh. 4/10

Night Dream (Sat YT) ep 2 of 6 - It’s a pain to track down and I really didn’t like the first episode so… DNF

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

VIP Only (Taiwan Fri Gaga) ep 6 of 10 - It’s slow and sweet and fine but not great. Lovely little kitchen back hug. Not sure about the boy from the past. The mom character gave me serious PTSD.

Sahara-sensei to Toki-kun (Japan Fri Gaga) ep 4 of 8 - No ep this week for JBL reasons.

It's Airing But...

Playboyy (Thurs Gaga) 14 eps - Dear Playboyy, it's not you, it’s me… I hate you. You’re about as deep (and as palatable) as a shot glass of cum. While I'm sure you’re someone’s kink, you're my weakest link. I DNFed this at ep 5, and frnakly I'm impressed with myself for getting that far.

The Whisperer (Sun ????) 10 eps - Thai horror BL that ALSO involves cheating (what joy is mine). I don't think even the perfect single dimple can motivate me to watch. Word is... it's terrible.

7 Days Before Valentine (Weds WeTV) 10 eps - Giving me Luminous Solution vibes. I'm waiting to binge if safe.

Beyond The Star (Weds iQIYI) 8 eps - House of Stars meets Boyband. I was NOT impressed with ep 1. Been told I shouldn't bother.

What Did You Eat Yesterday Season 2 AKA Kinou Nani Tabeta? Season 2 (Japan Gaga) 10 eps - I find this series more fun to binge, so I'll be doing that when I have a spare day. Crazy work load right now so no idea when that will be. (End of year is a bear for me.)

Behind the Shadows (Korea movie) - This is a historical I was interested in, but I've been told they kill the gay so I'm OUT.

Dead Friend Forever (Thai Sat iQIYI) - horror, meh, tell me if it's worth my time?

IT'S NO LONGER AIRING INTERNATIONAL

Cherry Magic (Sat YouTube) ep 3 of 12 - yeah Japan put the smack down on our boys. Sadness. You can use a VPN if you like.

Next Week Looks Like This

I Became the Main Pole of a BL (Japan Gaga) ep 1 of 3 - AKA BL Drama no Shuen ni Narimashita: Crank Up Hen starts tomorrow.

Original 2023 forthcoming BL master post (see comments, some are inaccurate, NOT KEPT UPDATED). With the end of the year upon us I'll do an "announced for 2023 but never happened list" soon.

THIS WEEK’S BEST MOMENTS

I think this EVERY SINGLE TIME someone blows on a wound in an Asian drama.

Only Billy has the guts to give us an O face from a cuddle. (The Sign)

I do love it when a show calls out a trope. (Cooking Crush)

A/b/o and sometimes e! The scene that broke tumblr. (Pit Babe)

(Last week)

Shocking Secrets Behind The Blind Side Drama!

The Blind Side Shake-Up: When "Big Mike" Pops the Hollywood Balloon 🎈 Oh, sweet nostalgia! Remember that tearjerker "The Blind Side" from way back in 2009? 🎬 It was like a cinematic comfort meal with a side of warm fuzzies and a sprinkle of Sandra Bullock's award-winning pizzazz. The plot followed a white family on a mission to rescue "Big Mike," a homeless teen with a heart as big as his nickname, from the mean streets of Memphis. I mean, who doesn't want to hug the screen and adopt the entire universe after that? But hold your horses, because life isn't always a Hollywood daydream. In fact, it can be messier than a squirrel's stash of acorns. 🍿 Cue the dramatic background music! So, "The Blind Side" wasn't just a movie; it was supposedly inspired by real events. A heartwarming, feel-good true story. But guess what? Reality decided to take a detour through the wacky tunnel of creative liberties. Michael Oher, the flesh-and-blood "Big Mike," has barged onto the scene like a linebacker on a mission. 🏈 He's throwing shade at the whole "rescued by a loving white family" narrative. Turns out, that's about as real as a unicorn parade in tutus. Oher's unleashed a 14-page manifesto that's juicier than a telenovela plot. Word on the street? He wasn't adopted at all. Nope, instead, he was lured into the mysterious realm of a conservatorship. Ever heard of that? Neither had he, until it landed on him like a surprise cake in a pitch-black room. "But what's a conservatorship?" you ask. Well, it's like a legal carnival where someone else gets to steer your life and wallet. Typically, it's reserved for folks who've had a few too many knocks to the noggin or are as lost as a sock in the Bermuda Triangle. Oher, though? He seemed pretty capable of adulting, yet there he was, trapped in the conservatorship maze. Apparently, Oher's autograph was in demand like hotcakes at a pancake festival. He claims he didn't even realize he was signing off his life story. Imagine waking up one morning to find out you've been starring in a movie about yourself without even getting a popcorn share. 🤯 But wait, the drama train's got more cars. The Tuohy family, those supposed movie heroes, are smack in the middle of this tornado. They're defending their innocence quicker than you can say "twist of fate." Their argument? They were just extending a helping hand to poor Oher, and that conservatorship? Oh, that was like a giant financial bear hug. 💰 Here's the kicker: Oher wants his slice of the movie's cash pie, like a kid demanding a refund for mystery meat in the cafeteria. And don't forget the alleged blackmail whispers – Oher's been accused of planning to smear the Tuohys' reputation like an unruly ketchup stain on a white shirt. Hold onto your hats, folks! A Hollywood lawyer, the same guy who's tangoed with Lizzo and Bill Cosby, has joined the spectacle. Marty Singer's probably got a special ringtone for llama drama moments. 🦙📞 While the legal showdown is heating up, the true casualty here seems to be the very essence of "The Blind Side" tale. What was once an underdog triumph now feels like a topsy-turvy sitcom episode with mix-ups, secret contracts, and enough drama to fuel a reality TV marathon. 🍿📺 So, next time you're snuggled up, shedding tears over a touching flick, remember: behind every heart-tugger could be a real-life plot twist worth its own sequel. Just grab some popcorn, relax, and savor the show, because reality's script doesn't come with edits or a guarantee of a happily-ever-after. 🍿🎥🎭 #BlindSideBursts# The Blind Side Shake-Up: When "Big Mike" Pops the Hollywood Balloon 🎈 Oh, sweet nostalgia!

PIC: Maps and Legends

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Star Trek: Picard.

It’s First Contact Day at the Utopia Planitia ship yards orbiting Mars, 14 years in the past. Surely an arbitrary date and nothing to worry about, right? On a completely unrelated note, this is before the ban on synths (some might say immediately before), so we get to see some robot friends at work. They wear identical red uniforms, made with a heavy red fabric, gloves, and long sleeves, indicating protective wear – sensible for shipyard workers! The matching red belts look sharp, too.

Did… did you guys all have your eyes open before I opened the door?

The human workers wear the same uniform, with the addition of comm badges and hard hats. Unfortunately, dressing the same as their constructed colleagues doesn’t make them friends, and some of the humans are blatantly droid-phobic.

Out here, we gotta make our own prejudices.

Which, on reflection, may be a way to soften the blow when the android F8 goes rogue and brutally murders them all with laser tools – including the armoured security officers, whose laser-tag-looking uniforms we barely get to see before they’re also on the ground.

You might say it was… a F8 worse than death.

We jump back to the present (i.e, the future), where Laris, Zhaban, and Picard are discussing the Zhat Vash – the Romulan super secret police. On closer inspection, however, the conversation appears to be a pretense for Laris and JL to have yet another Best Sweater competition.

It’s giving seasonal, classic, and understated.

Two sweaters is not against the rules, and that’s bonus points for asymmetry. I think we have our winner.

Over in the B story, I hope you wanted more jumpsuits! The researchers aboard “The Artifact” (a name that is somehow just as scary as saying it’s a Borg cube) wear a tasteful light grey, which isn’t quite as cool as red, and the big downturned collars make me miss the turtleneck look back at Mars. Basically, they’re the same uniforms from earlier, but slightly worse in every way.

They just used “silhouette B” on the McCall’s pattern.

One researcher who does pull it off, however, is Dr. Soji Asha, who looks a lot like Dahj from episode 1…! We get some nice detail shots, and I actually really like how the collar looks open like this with her necklace underneath.

Stylish AND hiding plot-critical accessories. Okay, I’m coming back around on the grey jumpsuit.

Back at the château, Picard is visited by an old friend from the Stargazer. Dr. Moritz is clearly here on business, as he has worn his nicest silk shirt and a fancy long vest with intricate embroidered details. Unfortunately, his business is telling Picard some very bad news, so the sharp wardrobe barely softens the blow.

I’ll be honest with you, Jean-Luc: I look as good as your prognosis doesn’t.

Instead of sitting quietly with the news, or calling his family, or petting his dog, Picard instead decides to put on a nice suit of his own and go visit Starfleet HQ. He gets a very cute VISITOR badge from the baby at the front desk who doesn’t know who he is, and storms his way into the office of Admiral Clancy.

Quickly! I need a ship and a crew, but I don’t have time to explain the plot!

Clancy isn’t happy to see our hero, but at least she’s disappointed in a killer admiral’s uniform. The outer jacket is dark grey with the shoulders blocked out in black, with a sleek new comm badge on the wearer’s left, and a rank indicator on the right. The layer underneath bears the division colour – in this case, command red, in a nice burgundy hue. I kind of like how the red part looks like it drapes softly at the neck, though it also looks a tiny bit like a turtleneck that just got caught on the jacket when she was putting it on, and nobody has pointed it out yet.

What? Is there something on my face?

Back on the Borg cube, the researchers need additional PPE, so it’s time to don the Incredibly Flimsy Red Suits. Unlike the red onesies we saw at Utopia Planitia, these garments are made of a sheer, lightweight material that doesn’t really look like it will protect them from anything?? I’d guess radiation, but they also leave their heads completely exposed. Maybe it’s to protect from blood during dissection, although a gauzy, see-through fabric wouldn’t be my first choice of stain-shield.

Maybe Borgs can’t see red.

On the other hand, maybe we should stop asking questions and just listen to the Romulan overseer with the dorky haircut and overly complicated leather vest. He seems to be in charge.

The Nintendo Power Glove is a nice touch, too.

We need a break from all that intensity, so we check in on Picard and Dr. Jurati, who are having a nice cup of tea. Agnes wears not one but two tops with oddly angular collars, in a very flattering powder blue.

This is nice. No one dying, conniving, or being dissected.

Welp, back to business. The grouchy admiral from earlier tattles on Jean-Luc to Commodore Oh, who turns out to be a Romulan spy. Whoops! Her cover as a Vulcan Starfleet officer does, however, include this fantastic iteration of the early DS9/Voyager uniforms.

The coloured top section now has a small notch in the middle of the chest, giving it a cool angular detail, but also belying the fact that these jackets never actually unzipped at the front. As well, a high collar has replaced the grey turtleneck, forcing the rank pips to relocate – like Admiral Clancy’s uniform, Oh’s rank is displayed on the right breast, opposite her comm badge. The overall effect really brings the Voyager-style costumes back from the brink of pyjamas, so that they’re believable as pseudo-military uniforms.

Oh, but also I’m totally upset about this betrayal.

As we know, Romulans love to gossip, and Oh can’t help telling her galpal “Lieutenant Rizzo” what Picard and pals are up to. Rizzo, a.k.a. Narissa, is not only another spy role-playing a Starfleet officer…

lol humans are so gullible

…But also sister to the dork-and-brooding Narek, so she goes to rub her new intel in his face. Narek, as usual, has shrouded himself in black, and also joined the “impractical zigzag collar” club. Shirts sure do look uncomfortable in the future!

I want to show off a bit of chest hair, but only in these three specific spots.

Meanwhile, Jean-Luc is trying to round out the party, so he grabs a bottle of Château Picard and goes to see Raffi. When we meet her, Raffi is rocking a Sarah Connor aesthetic in a cap and black tank top, drinking and space-vaping out on her own in the desert. She’s too cool, and her character design is fantastic.

10/10.

There’s something missing, though. It’s not quite futuristic. Too symmetrical.

Ah, there it is.

Time Lies- 19XX (Chapter 2)

I will not post chapter one on here since it talks a lot about suicide, within the literal first paragraph, and i do not wanna risk getting banned. But, the link for chapter 1 is provided on my page! If someone could read over it and tell me if it’s safe to post on here, that would be greatly appreciated!

Anyways, onto the fic!

Hero awoke in a cold sweat, his pajamas sticking to his back as he sat up. His breaths lay heavy as they echoed in the empty abyss that was his darkened room. Another stupid nightmare. At least it was different this time. Hero looked over to Kel's bed and noticed that it was a mess. The blanket was thrown onto the floor, and his pillow had somehow ended up on the opposite side of the bed. He rubbed his eyes as he slid out of his own, nicely put-together bed. Hero walked over to his closet. With a soft yawn, he peeled off his still-damp pajamas. For some reason, he couldn't find his usual clothing, so he just put on the first t-shirt and pair of pants he saw. He also threw on a pair of shoes, just in case he was going to leave the house. He assumed that his normal clothes were just in the wash. He decided to double-check, just in case they weren't. Sifting through his closet once more, he noticed that all of his clothes looked pretty small. Come to think of it, the shirt he was wearing right now looked small, too. They fit perfectly fine, so Hero decided not to worry about it. Before he left, he decided to quickly fix the mess that was Kel's bed. He assumed he would appreciate that.

Hero walked out of his room and headed down the stairs, allowing his hand to glide over the banister as he descended. Hero entered the kitchen. He gazed over at the clock that was hung on the wall. It read 6:14. He was up pretty early. Against his better judgment, he decided to stay awake since his brother was already out of bed as well. "Hey, Kel?" He yelled for his brother. "You want some food?" He waited for a few seconds before he got a response.

"Sure, whatcha' gonna make?" Kel asked, yelling from the living room. Hero found yelling back and forth quite annoying, so he decided to enter the living room as well. Now that he had entered the room, he could see that Kel was sitting on the couch watching the television.

"Anything you want. It is your breakfast after all!" Hero smiled, despite his brother not looking at him. He was focused on watching whatever show was currently on air. He stared at the screen, interested In what he was watching. "Hey...Is that Scooby-Doo?" He questioned his brother. Kel gave a nod in response, before turning to Hero. "Yup! You've watched it before?" "Well, not recently...but yes." He replied. He hadn't watched that show for...what, three years? "You'd like this episode! It's cool. Maybe we can wat-" Kel cut himself off. "Oh, right! Breakfast! Can you make waffles with the new waffle maker mom bought? Pretty please?" Kel pouted. Hero chuckled at his reaction, before patting him on the head. Hero stopped for a moment after fully processing what he had said. What was Kel talking about? They've had the waffle maker for a few years. Did she get a new one and just not tell him? Why did everything feel so... off today?

"Helloooo? Hero? You there?" Kel waved a hand in front of his face. He realized he had spaced out while thinking about the waffle machine.

"Yeah, yeah. Sorry about that- Waffles sound good right about now. I'll make some for myself, too." He nodded and walked back off to the kitchen. Hero looked at the wall where the calendar was hung. For some reason, it wasn't there. Hero shrugged it off and turned to the fridge, only to realize it was stuck there instead. "Huh...Odd." His mom must've moved it while he was asleep. He moved over to one of the cabinets, looking through them for a bag of waffle mix. He finally found it and placed it on the counter. He took out the waffle maker as well. Everything else from then on was a breeze. Cooking was practically second nature to him, so it was rather easy just to space out while doing it and come back to finished waffles so he did. Hero was once again alone with his thoughts, without anybody talking to him to distract him. He could finally attempt to piece together why everything seemed so different all of a sudden. He glanced over to the calendar once more and noticed that the year was way off. It read 19XX. Three years ago. Did...Did somebody forget to change the calendar? It was becoming harder and harder for Hero to convince himself everything was normal. Hero hesitated for a moment, then looked at the current date. The realization struck hit like a truck. The date was circled in red marker. October 23rd. A single word was scribbled under it. Recital. Oh god. This...this can't be happening. Hero froze, trying to process this information. Was this what Mari meant...? No...He was probably still dreaming. There was no way in hell that he was still awake. Time travel isn't real. He tried to calm down by taking deep breaths. He started to think rationally and assumed that this was just a lucid dream. That explained everything.

It was probably close to the day Mari died in real life, so he was dreaming about it. He knew he had nightmares whenever that date came up, so it made sense. That also explained why he saw her in the previous "dream". Suddenly, a loud beep completely derailed Hero's train of thought. It was the waffle maker. As he spaced back in, he realized that he had already made several batches of waffles without even noticing. Guess it really was second nature to him. He plated the waffles and poured syrup on them.

He took the two plates and walked into the living room. Kel remained on the couch, focused on his show.

"Breakfast is ready!" Hero exclaimed, leading his brother to turn around to receive his plate. He took it, and Hero turned to leave and eat his waffles in the dining room. Suddenly, he felt a tug on his free hand. "Can ya' stay here? I wanna watch the show with you!" Kel beamed. Dream Kel was much more...wholesome than normal Kel. It was funny, in an endearing way. Hero considered it for a moment, before nodding.

"Of course, I can." Hero returned the smile and sat down on the couch. He started eating his food while watching the show as well. Suddenly, Kel spoke.

"So...are you excited about the recital? I bet Sunny is gonna do great!" He looked up at his brother. He nodded in response.

"Mari is probably going to do well, too!" he added.

"Oops, totally forgot about her!" Kel joked while Hero frowned. If only he knew. "Something wrong?"

"No, no...I was just thinking." Hero cartoonishly snapped his fingers as he got an idea. "Why don't we visit Sunny and Mari soon? Maybe we'll see if we can stay over a bit before the recital. Wouldn't that be fun?" Kel's eyes lit up. "Really!? That sounds amazing!" He squealed.

"I figured the recital might be stressing them out, and it would be nice to have some friends over to help them unwind. I'll even bring some of the waffles I made," He said, standing up. "Go get your clothes on, and we'll leave after you’re ready." Kel excitedly scurried off, heading back upstairs to his room. Hero sighed. This was surely an interesting dream. He had never had a lucid dream before, but he didn't expect his first one to be so...tame. It was weird. Kel had a lucid dream once. He explained the dream in heavy detail. It was..much more different than this. The lack of fantasy in this dream was...underwhelming. For a lucid dream, you'd figure it would be a bit more...y'know...fun. He'd probably keep this one to himself, or confine it to the pages of his journal. Hero shuffled to the kitchen and began to wrap up the remaining waffles in tinfoil. They tasted good. He figured Sunny and Mari would like them.

Suddenly, Kel came barreling down the stairs, excitedly. He wore a similar outfit to Hero. A simple t-shirt and jeans combo. Couldn't go wrong with that. "I'm ready! Let's go!" He cheered. Hero smiled.

"I think that was the fastest I've seen you get dressed in years." He praised his brother for his speed. Kel nodded. "I even got my shoes on!" He pointed down to his feet, proudly displaying them.

"Alright, alright," Hero chuckled. "Let's get out of here." He started for the door, Kel following him.

The walk to Sunny and Mari's house only took a few seconds since they lived right next door. Hero knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. "Now, Kel, don't be disappointed if we can't stay for long. Today's a really big day for them." Kel simply nodded in response. After a minute of waiting, Mari opened the door.

His vision flashed. All of a sudden, he was in the graveyard again. And...She was crying...He remembered all the nightmares about Mari dying. No...Not again. Please... Hero was on the brink of tears until Mari started speaking.

"Oh, hello boys! Here to visit Sunny?" She asked. He was once again snapped out of his...memories "You could say that, I guess. I mean, we're here for both of you!" Hero smiled before continuing. "I made waffles, by the way." He handed the tinfoil-wrapped stack of waffles to Mari.

"Oh, thank you! I love your waffles... They always come out so good!" She gushed. Hero didn't dare tell her he didn't make this batch from scratch. He usually did, but he was in no mood to do that right now. Can you get tired in dreams? Hero didn't know. This was...one realistic dream, though. "Please, do come in!" She gestured for the two to come inside so they did exactly that. "Sunny! Hero and Kel are here!" Mari yelled to her brother. She directed her gaze at Kel, next. "He's in his room if you want to go hang out with him." Upon hearing this, he ran upstairs, leaving Hero and Mari alone. "I'm...uh..really excited for your guy's recital tonight. You're gonna be great!" He exclaimed.

"I hope so..." Mari gave a slight frown. "We were practicing last night, and Sunny kept getting the notes wrong. I'm scared he's going to mess up during the recital so, I was planning on practicing with him more later." Hero nodded understandingly. He couldn't help but think about what happened at the graveyard...What did she mean? Save her? Did she mean...save her from dying? If that was the case, Hero figured he should try comforting her. He hesitated for a moment, but then decided to at least make an...attempt. "I just want you to know, I'm always here if you need to talk about something...Like, if you're stressed, or just not feeling good, alright?" Mari smiled. "Thank you, Hero. But I think I'm alright for now. All Sunny needs is a bit of practice. That's all." Welp. He did all that he could. How do you stop a person from killing themselves without telling them that you know they're going to do it? That's just weird. That would also probably mess up his dream. He figured that telling someone they were going to die would be like telling someone they're in a dream; Bizarre.

"So...What now?" Hero raised an eyebrow. He really just wanted to check if she was still alive in his dream. He had no other reason to be here, except for letting Kel play with Sunny. "Well...We could do whatever you want!" Mari paused. "We could even...Uh..." She clearly had no idea what to do either.

"Let's just watch TV. It's an easy way to kill time." Hero suggested. Mari nodded in approval.

"Sure, that sounds fun." She led him to the living room and clicked on the TV. The two sat down and watched the first channel that came on, not bothering to switch it to anything in particular.

After watching TV for a while, Mari glanced at the clock on the wall. "Oh my, it's already three...Sunny and I really need to practice." Mari got up from the couch. She looked understandably annoyed at the fact she wasted so much time when she could've been practicing.

"I'll just...get Kel." Hero nodded. This had to be the most boring lucid dream anyone had ever had. Hero walked to the foot of the staircase. He then cupped his hands around his mouth and yelled, "Kel! We gotta go! Cmon!" Moments later, his brother was coming down the stairs, with a wide grin on his face. He was still saying goodbye to Sunny, who stood at the top of the staircase, not bothering to come down. "That was SO fun! I can't wait for your recital! See ya later!" Kel joined his brother at the bottom of the stairs, and the two started walking to the door. Hero turned around and gave a small wave goodbye to Sunny. Sunny waved back, and Hero continued for the door.

By the time the boys returned home, Hero felt weirdly tired. Once again, he wasn't even sure if it was possible in a dream. "Hey, Kel? I'm gonna go take a nap, wake me up when it's time to go." Hero had already gone up the stairs by the time his brother responded. He completely missed what he had said, but he didn't care to check. The second that Hero got to his room, he made a beeline to his bed. He flopped down on it. Hero questioned why he was so tired, despite barely even moving today. All he did was watch TV. Hero closed his eyes, and immediately drifted off to "sleep".

He was shaken awake after sleeping for what felt like mere minutes. "Alright...Alright...I'm getting up, Kel." He mumbled. When he opened his eyes, he noticed a shocking lack of Kel. Instead of his brother, he saw none other than Mari. "Wh...what are you doing here?" Hero questioned. "Aren't you supposed to be at the reci-" He was once again silenced by Mari putting a finger to his lips.

"Hero. I hate to be so blunt, but there isn't going to be a recital if you can't manage to save me!" Hero raised an eyebrow. "What are you talking about...? You're right here. You're perfectly safe." Mari groaned at his clear misunderstanding of her words. "Did you forget what I told you? You need to bring me back, Hero. You need to stop me from dying." She started to look frustrated. Hero chuckled. "Huh. This dream is finally starting to get interesting!" He smiled, then noticed Mari was glaring daggers at him. She grabbed him by the shoulders and dug her nails into his arm. "Is this real enough for you, Hero?!" She hissed. He yelped in pain, and Mari let go of him. She crossed her arms. She was very obviously pissed off, and this was now very obviously not a dream. Hero had to take a moment to process this. After he did, he freaked out.

"If...If this isn't a dream, what is it..!?" He whimpered. There was a look of pure terror in his eyes. Hero stood up from his bed, and stared at Mari, waiting for an answer. He had noticed something he hadn't before. Mari's skin was...white. Calling her pale would be an understatement. She looked like a...corpse. All of a sudden, Mari's words finally made sense to him. She wanted him to stop her from killing herself.

"Well...I put you in a sort of loop in the past. You've been taken back to the last day that I was alive. And I really need you to figure out how to get out fast. All you need to do is just stop me from k-" She paused, before rephrasing her sentence. "All you need to do is stop me from dying. It's that easy." Hero pursed his lips.

"How do I stop you from killing yourself...? I tried comforting you, and it didn't work. What else do you expect me to do..?" He asked. He had a genuine tone to his voice. He had a single plan, and it didn't work. Mari clenched her jaw.

"I...I think I know how to stop it. But I can't tell you...I'm so sorry..." She shook her head. "You just...You just need to see it!" Hero's face dropped.

"Are...are you serious..? Is that the only way?" Mari nodded solemnly.

"It's the only way for you to understand what's really going on. If I could, I'd explain everything. Just... Go back to bed, alright? You'll wake up in the loop again...I'll try to find a way to help you. I promise." She gently pushed him back onto his bed, and he gave a small nod of acceptance. "Goodnight, Hero." Mari rested a hand on his lap softly, and he once again drifted back to sleep.

Oliver Stark’s Interesting Instagram Behavior pertaining to Buddie.

I’ve been speculating for months now that Oliver Stark seems to know something in regards to Buddie, which explains his social media behavior. The other day I was looking over some of his old photos that he’s posted and something was made very abundantly clear to me. He always posts BTS photos of upcoming scenes where we come to find out that he’s going to be with Ryan. It’s almost as if he’s only sharing moments that the audience will uncover later on to be important Buck and Eddie moments. I have formulated a very detailed timeline of his activities on Instagram that goes all the way back to season 4! I’ll share each one and why I think it’s important, and why it leads me to believe that Oliver now knows something that we still have yet to uncover! I do want to emphasize that this is just what I believe and I can either be totally off base, or I can very well possibly be onto something. Take what you will from this very long post. And I kindly ask to please not share any of this on any other social media platform. Thank you 💜

Before I begin the detailed analysis, I would like to mention that Oliver used to be very active on Twitter and IG in previous seasons. In early season 4, he mostly promoted/teased “Buck Begins” BTS and then slightly refrained from sharing any more BTS. Aisha shared a lot more but Oliver started sharing some BTS around the filming of episodes 4.13/4.14 and this is where I’ll begin.

April 24, 2021

Oliver posts a BTS video of him in the white striped button down with grey jeans, where he is getting ready to shoot a scene next to a firetruck. He then posts a bunch of stories where he is answering a few asks on his IG. We see him wearing his uniform in a few of those stories and the white shirt in the others. He also posts a photo with his stunt double Skyler, so we know it’s gonna be an intense scene, but we obviously didn’t know what scene it was until much later.

This scene, we all came to see later, was the infamous scene where Eddie gets shot right in front of Buck. The BTS he posted was of Buck getting ready to film that moment. His stunt double was there because it was indeed an intense scene which involved a lot of adrenaline and action. A very infamous and crucial Buck and Eddie moment that Oliver chose to tease a month in advance.

April 28, 2021

Oliver posts a short BTS video of himself, wearing a grey hoodie, no product in his hair, looking very comfortable, along with Gavin and Cocoa. That teases us and let’s us know there will be an upcoming Buck, Christopher, and Carla scene.

That same day, he goes on to answer another IG ask where someone asks him, “Can we see your scenes with Gavin again?” to which he replies, “Episode 14.”

Later on, we all come to see this is the scene where Buck is staying at the Diaz residence, looking after Christopher while Eddie is in a coma after getting shot. It was a very important scene and moment for both Buck and Christopher. It showed us that their bond is truly unbreakable and that Buck will never hesitate to care for Christopher, because he thinks of him as his son. We also got the will reveal from Eddie which was a very pivotal moment for Buck and Eddie, so I think it ties well to him teasing us about the Buck and Chris scenes.

May 17, 2021

The day where we witness Eddie Diaz getting shot in front of his partner/best friend Evan Buckley. No one will ever forget this day. Oliver posted a bunch of BTS photos from that very scene, including him covered in Eddie’s “blood”.

May 22, 2021

Oliver posts this photo to his IG, which is a very beautiful photo. Heartbreaking, but beautiful BTS of Buck and Eddie, holding hands. This was the moment where Buck saves Eddie. It’s the first time in a long time he posts Ryan on his IG. Of course he later deleted most of his photos, but this was on his page for awhile.

Same day he goes on his Twitter to let us know he will be live tweeting the finale. Drama ensues and he decides it’s best if he doesnt use Twitter any longer. He makes a few posts and then says that he will be deleting his Twitter.

May 24, 2021

Oliver also likes a bunch of Buddie fan art about this photo, and shares it to his IG story. This is the first time he openly shares any Buddie edit after he made a tweet a year and a half ago that he won't be doing so any longer to not give people false hope. I have a detailed post about that here.

Following his whole Twitter debacle, he refrains from posting anything on his IG. He posts a few thirst traps, then deletes all of his pictures and prepares for the filming of season 5.

September 26, 2021

Oliver posts this photo of him in a blue hoodie and a black eye on his left eye to his IG story. Nothing more, just the photo. It’s the first BTS of himself alone that he has shared during the filming of season 5.

We later come to find out that it was a scene he was filming with Ryan, where Buck and Eddie are on Buck’s balcony discussing Chimney punching Buck. It’s a very great moment shared between Buck and Eddie, where we can see them being soft and enjoying a few beers. We see Eddie comforting Buck and giving him advice. Oliver decided to share that BTS moment 2 weeks before the actual episode was set to air.

October 4, 2021

Oliver posts a photo with his puppy Jade on the day where we are gonna get an episode where Eddie breaks up with his girlfriend. Only posted that photo and nothing more. Didn’t ask us to tune in or anything but randomly posted that to his IG story.

October 6, 2021

Oliver posts a BTS photo with their makeup artist where he now has a bruise on his temple.

The scene he teased us with the bruise, we come to find out later, was the hostage scene which was a big episode for Buck and Eddie. Yeah he can just be teasing the bruises Buck will have, but I find it telling that he decides to tease all the scenes he will be filming with Ryan before we actually find out he will be filming with Ryan.

October 7, 2021

Oliver posted a black and white photo of himself and Anirudh on September 27, 2021. Someone had commented something about “Manifesting Buddie” where he responded with “I would be totally fine with it 👍🏼”

Then someone else commented a homophobic comment where he did not hesitate to shut them down. That is all in this post right here.

I added this because this is the first time since he said a year and a half ago that he won't be sharing his thoughts about Buddie, where he was very open about it. He didn’t refrain from sharing his opinion on Buddie nor about playing a gay/bi character. So it made me think that maybe he knows something which is why he is being more vocal about this matter.

October 10, 2021

Oliver posts a still from episode 5.04 and asks us to tune in the next day. Minimal Buddie towards the end, no BT. This was the episode with the infamous Buddie Balcony scene™️.

Oliver then posts a video of his black eye from this episode, and he is in the blue hoodie which is what Buck was wearing in the scene with Eddie out on his balcony. It was a good Buddie moment we got and I feel as though it wasn't really needed to show another video of just his black eye, but I mean of course Oliver posted it after the episode aired.

October 13, 2021

Oliver posts another BTS of his face up close this time so that we can see his head bruise. They were filming the hostage scene for episode 5.06, which was once again with Ryan and Angela.

This episode was a very important episode in terms of Buddie, in my opinion. Buck got pistole whipped because he wanted to defend Christopher. It was a sensitive topic for both Eddie and Buck and he freely teased us weeks in advance where no one had any clue as to why he would have that bruise. Later on, after the episode aired, we saw that it was an important reasoning for his bruise and overall important episode for Buck and Eddie. So very interesting of Oliver to randomly post 2 photos of this BTS moment with no other context.

October 18, 2021

Oliver posts an IG story with Joaquin Sedillo, asking us to tune in to the episode he directed.

This episode was important because we see Buck and Eddie working with different partners and they're both struggling. Buck is going through internal issues of his own and in the end tells the team he wants to put in for a transfer. What does Eddie say?? “You're stuck with us.”

I mean sure it’s a very small moment and probably not the reason why Oliver wanted us to tune in, but Joaquin is known for being pro-Buddie and I thought it was interesting that Oliver decided to ask us to tune into that episode. Especially because we see BT being awkward in the end and somewhat disconnected. He never once promotes any scenes with his on screen girlfriend for the episode.

October 27, 2021

Oliver posts an IG story of him watching Ryan in Step Up in his trailer in between filming. They were in the middle of filming 5.08 “Defend in Place” which had a lot of Buck and Eddie scenes. It was the first episode we saw of them working as partners again. He teased that a few weeks in advance. So random for him to show Ryan on his story but a choice was made in my opinion.

October 28, 2021

Oliver posts a thirst trap of himself in his turnout gear and asks us to tune into Monday’s episode. It was the hostage episode he was promoting.

October 31. 2021

Oliver starts liking Buddie fan art on IG once again. He hadn't since the season 4 finale and even before that he had refrained from doing so. He liked this beautiful art work by @andavs of Buddie hugging after the hostage scene.

He also liked another fan art of Buck and Eddie walking side by side from season 2 where they discuss the women not being their type by @giulia_canovaa. The caption of the art was “You’re stuck with us” which is what Eddie said to Buck at the end of episode 5.05.

Again, it's important to note that Oliver stated that he won’t be liking or sharing any more Buddie fan art because if he does then it makes his followers/fans automatically assume that he is confirming Buddie happening. So he had stopped doing it for a year and a half and then magically started doing it again this season. I just find it a little suspicious, almost as if he knows something this season.

November 1, 2021

Oliver makes an actual IG video where he is in his car, driving someplace but he asks us to tune into the episode. This is the second video he’s made and posted asking his fans to make sure they tune in.

The episode was 5.06 “Cell Block 9-1-1″, which was the hostage episode. It was a very important Buck and Eddie episode and he decided it was important enough for him to make an actual video asking his followers to please watch.

He then shares this IG post that was made by @unclebucklovesyou. The post was a photo of Buck bruised, looking worried over Eddie’s well-being and the caption of that post said, “Buck’s physical and emotional hurt is screaming at my screen every damn time.” Clearly Buck was hurt both emotionally and physically in part because of Eddie. He was worried about him being in danger once again and he got hurt trying to defend Christopher. So it was very telling that he decided to randomly share this to his IG story that night.

November 2, 2021

Oliver posts his first Christmas BTS for the mid season finale. We have yet to see the finale to see if he is once again teasing a possible Buck and Eddie scene like he has been all season long.

November 8, 2021

Oliver does not make any posts or stories asking his followers to tune in. This episode was 5.07 “Ghost Stories”. There was no Eddie in this episode but it did heavily include his on screen girlfriend. He did not once promote the episode.

Oliver did instead post a BTS photo from a future episode, 5.09 “Past is Prologue” of Buck and Eddie working together. He also commented on the original post after he shared it to his IG story.

November 12, 2021

Oliver posts a black and white BTS photo with Ryan and Joaquin where they are all dressed in their firefighter turnout gear. He once again asks us to tune into Monday’s episode, which is 5.08 “Defend in Place.”

November 15, 2021

Episode 5.08 airs, where we come to find out that this is a very big/important episode for Buck and Eddie in my opinion. They're working as partners again and we get that moment where Eddie shows his vulnerability to Buck. Buck is checking in on Eddie after they thought they couldn't save the child and I think its very interesting that Oliver really wanted us to tune in to this episode.

Oliver also posted a still of Buck looking confused in a scene with Eddie right before the episode was set to air. He once again asked us to tune in to the episode.

Once again, no BT in this episode.

This is his social media patterns/behaviors as of now. I will add a few more things that I think are very important to note.

He never ever promotes any scenes or episodes where Buck will be with his on screen girlfriend.

Everything he has teased thus far, has come to be apart of important Buck and Eddie scenes later on. He rarely shares other moments from scenes with other people.

He once did share this BTS photo of Peter and himself, and then shared another still with Buck and Bobby, where he called them “Father and Son?” But that was it.

He has also shared a few group photos or BTS of Aisha, Anirudh, and Ryan after episodes have aired but nothing before while he was filming scenes with them.

I just think it’s very strange of him to post pictures of moments that will come to be important later on. It’s almost as if he’s subconsciously teasing us for moments he knows the majority of his fan base will be happy about.

Again, I can totally be insane and making something outta absolutely nothing. Or I can very well be onto something. This was just specific patterns I’ve noticed from him and I’ve been following him on all social media since before 911, so I like to think I may know of his specific behaviors in regards to social media.

To finish this off, my theory is that sometime before the beginning of this season, he may have been let in on a secret in regards to where his characters development/storyline is headed. And in turn, that gave him some kind of push to openly post vague bts moments and like Buddie fan art. I’m not saying what that secret is because I’ll leave that up to your own interpretation. But to me, his behavior makes sense if you consider that he may very well know something we have yet to uncover ourselves.

If you’ve gotten through all of this, truly thank you from the bottom of my heart. I’ll be here if anyone has any questions or comments. Again this is just me taking notice of a certain pattern and writing it out in a detailed format 💜
