#I’d like to think spy tries to parent but also doesnt

[plexiglasssheets]

Scout and Spydad

anyways father son bonding with very brief EngineerxSpy and Engiedad

pardon my shit grammar

-------

Like in Expiration Date/the comics Spy will let Scout tag along or help him with much reluctance, But as time goes on he does see the *potential* in him to make him a more refined man. One day going to sit in the common room to catch up on his French programs. That for some reason the signal doesn't reach his smoking room, he even asked Engineer to somehow fix the transmission, but the best he could do was the common area TV which was better than nothing. He put on one of his cheaper suits to sit on the musty couch, and hopefully, he prays just to catch up on his dramas without anyone annoying him. Then comes a sweaty scout who was probably outside with Pyro doing something stupid. He comes and sits on the couch realizing it's in French decides to read his comic. Spy just wants him to leave so he can watch his shows. But the kid was being quiet so it was better than nothing.

This became routine, the spy would come to watch his show, and Scout would come in at around the same time, sometimes from his runs, or one of his drives into town with Sniper and Pyro. But like clockwork, he would always be there. Having his comic books or sketch pad tucked under the couch just in case. Spy had gotten used to the company, while he drank his wine and Scout his soda. He just so happens to have a coaster at the ready for the water condensation his sugary beverage.

Scout had also slowly gotten into the shows himself, he knew French and was a bit rusty. But their weekly watchings got him back into it. The two would rant about the direction of the shows, think trashy reality TV, and bachelor-type stuff. How ‘he should have picked her, as they would have worked far better together’. Or ‘this is so rigged, she should have won.’ But they’re saying this all in French so when anyone else tries to come in they just hear the two in what they assume is a yelling match, though far from it.

Engineer decided maybe he should try to get it on Spy’s personal TV, to stop the fighting. So one afternoon as Spy is exiting his smoking room , Engie goes to him and tells him he can get it on his personal TV. But the Spy says he doesn’t want him to go through all that hassle, he's fine with the common room TV. Engineer confused, accepts it and goes back to his workshop, coming into the common room later to see what would make him want to stay. Then it clicked, as much as those two like to pretend to hate each other, they really didn’t. They weren’t best friends but they at least tolerated each other.

Scratch that, they did heavily dislike each other is how engineer would put it. When Spy would come later in the evenings to chat with engineer, he’d go on and on about how’ he could civilize that boy’ and ‘if he had the time had be a fine general man’. Or could go down the path of ‘he doesn’t know why he puts up with him for his shows’

Scout complaints paralleled in the afternoons, going to Engie and ranting how he’s ‘always on his case’ and ‘needs to chill’.

But like always, every evening at 4, the two would make there way to the common area tv.

 hey there gaymers, i am crissy! i am 22, live in pst, go by she/her pronouns and honestly would very much like a distraction from life -- preferably in the form of 1x1 and rp in general. i am currently doing online school plus trying/failing at adulting, being a crazy pink haired college student living on microwave dimsum with my crazy fluffy demon cat, but that still leaves me with a lot of time and what better way to spend that time then crying and dying, am i right, boys? 

so without further ado ( adieu? idk gusundheit ) here are a list of discomboblulated plot things that have been floating around in my head that i might be fun to do ( plot fragments, ideas, ocs, fcs i like, settings, genres etc )! i’d prefer a message if u liked any of these in the inbox or dm form, my tumblr ims are open and my discord user is mr. worldwide#2918 ( pitbull supremacy ) but if ur shy i will message u and be annoying! 

lastly: i prefer hcing in the dms to replies, however i will do replies/ask memes slowly, i don’t really like making blogs and prefer google docs/discord and i ask ( gently and respectfully ) that minors do not interact.

thank u and happy hunger games! xx

COLLEGE TOTALLY SPIES -- i was really obsessed with this picture right here and i thought that the picture would be a good premise for a little four person group based on totally spies. i was thinking that these three college students/young adults some friends maybe not some enemies or just on completely different ends of the social agenda get bonded together when they accidentally end up roped in a top secret spy organization that is fronted by a record store. the details and flesh of the plot i think would be cute to figure out all together maybe in a google doc or a big discord so we can make the rp to perfect world building specifications. right now i have two spots open!

[stairstab]

demoman...? husband

fuck i forgot to answer this

favorite thing about them:

hmm... my first instinct is “we stan a depressed addict king”. i just like seeing characters struggling, it makes them feel more real and relatable. all the mercs are so goofy, and dont get me wrong, demo is too, but he has this like...weight about him. he carries this grand, heavy legacy, the burden of expectation and lineage and knowledge and trauma. he’s so self-conscious and world weary, but tries to cover it up with ‘having a good time’ ie: getting drunk. i want to give the guy a hug and have a good talk with him about how his mom is a twat and he should just live his best life.

least favorite thing about them:

1. i think he has the worst Meet The video. his song fucks, but they really did just use the most boring footage and pre-made voice lines for a lot of it, and it made him seem so one-note. improve it by making it more dramatic and dark, show off his actual life story and personality, as well as his ingame abilities. like, imagine a new SFM that shows him screaming through the skies from a sticky jump and lobbing off peoples heads, and it cuts to him leafing through a book about monsters and he talks about magic and shit and how its affected him. you could even show flickers of WAR! and how he felt about it all. valve just doesnt care about him and it pisses me off because it makes him boring

2. I wish he had a black voice actor.

3. stop fucking spawncamping me 

favorite line:

literally ALL of the WAR! lines where he’s hitting on the enemy Soldier, but also all of his drunken lines where he’s just saying what the fuck ever. they seriously never fail to make me laugh. especially “if i wasnt a man, i would- i’d kiss ya.” and “i got two tickets to the gun show, and you’re not goin. they’re- MY tickets.”

brOTP:

him and sniper :’) if you ignore the dumb shit in the comics where sniper knocked him and ms.pauling out (which was OOC imo), they’re a seriously great duo. 

OTP:

sniper, soldier, spy, heavy. he’s so good with everyone. pls.

nOTP:

people dont ship demo with anyone but soldier really :/ not much to hate

random headcanon:

ive got more headcanons for demo than i do for everyone except Spy. here’s a few: he is Always on the brink of a serious breakdown but keeps chugging forward anyway because it’s all he really knows and the second he’s actually like, content or happy, he gets very anxious and sad almost immediately because he knows it won’t last very long and he can’t get too used to it or the pain just hits that much harder later, so its hard for him to genuinely enjoy himself longer than a few hours. he loves nature so much and tries to bask in it as much as he can. he likes cooking and reading, but dislikes how he cant enjoy them very much unless he’s sober. he’s a trivia PRO and retains specific information like a sponge, and if he’s lucid enough, he will destroy you at any fact-based game. him and sniper bond over all kinds of stuff, including having mixed feelings about their parents, wildlife knowledge, battle strategy and weaponry, mythology and cryptids, and being able to fall asleep literally anywhere. 

unpopular opinion:

making cuck jokes about him is racist, i dont care if he makes ‘wife’ comments in-game, stop it. stop talking about how “feral” he is, too (god i hate lightspeed and their fucking hardon for were!demo), and how he’s “hung”. and if i see one more pale demo i am going to strangle the OP with barbed wire. this fandom is so fucking racist

song i associate with them:

last true knight by hannah m

favorite picture of them:

thanks for the ask!

Animorphs notes 1

Book 1

Narrated by Jake, my least fav main from back in the day

Books are for people to learn the truth. Implies that Jake considered publishing this shit was a viable option

All this shit started on a Friday night

Marco’s good at analysing shit

Tobias just fucking latched onto the first person to stand up for him

There are ways to describe that yer cousin is good looking and well dressed that dont sound like that

Also this fuckin white boy doesnt capitalize Black in relation to the descriptor of a person

Just described this girl as mystical…

Sexism, but like Cassie will use that shit to her advantage

Marco is the responsible friend

The Andalite space ship is ‘cute’

Tobias is fuckin ready for aliens

Andalite description number 1 puts them as more humanoid upper part and smol ungulate lower bit,3 slits where a mouth should be on a human face, horn-like eyestalks, glittery eyes, blue and tan fur, scorpion tail-thick ends in sharp horn or stinger

Elfangor is set on the whole dying thing, these nice kids are tyring to help save him

An invasion force of maybe hundreds or more. That’s fucking pitifully small.

If I weren’t freaked out by snails I’d say the yeerks sound like good pet material for the folks who like slimey boneless pets. Grey-green as big as a rat

Elfangor thinks an invasion force of maybe more than a hundred could take over the Earth in about a year.

Elfangor is real dead set on dying, meanwhile Rachel throwing out ideas to maybe save him

Damn Cassie just fucking telling Jake he aint scared to have him volunteer to go into the alien spaceship

Andalite ships are Apple products

Why didn’t Jake take the picture too? Let Elfangor look at it one last time before he dies.

Marco is skeptical of superpowers while talking to a fucking alien

Tobi, then Rachel, then Cas all agreed to join the fight first

Cas keeps singling out Jake and pushing him into decisions

Elfangor just letting these kids feel all his feelings

Rachel still trying to save this man who’s dead set of dying

Cas is the first to fuckin cave under Visser 3’s aura and nearly gets them all killed

Elfangor is racist as fuck to taxxons

Elf projects a courage aura for the kids. They should try and learn that power

That hork-controller by the wall can definitely hear these fucking kids.

Visser 3 wastes a perfectly good infestible body. Get a yeerk in that bitch and make him morph and bam, another andalite controller.

Yeah no, the hork-controller by that wall def noticed Jake’s little stunt

Everyone is like wtf Jake are you trying to get us killed?

Vore count is 1

Visser 3 makes vore/bad office jokes

Marco throws up and thats what gets the attention of the nearest hor-controller, not Jake fucking jumping up and grabbing a pipe. Or the kids talking to eachother

Panic and run, and split up. Rachel and Jake independently come to the plan of distracting the controllers away from the slower members of the herd

Hork-controllers bounding like devil kangeroos? These bitches fuckin hoppin after yall?

Yeerks fuckin wasting perfictly infestible bodies

Jake got a person killed

Death count of like what 2?

Tobi is fuckin jazzed at his new furry powers

Tobi got scratched by his cat and it didn’t heal when he morphed. Interesting

Jake is trying not to have a nervous breakdown over this shit

Tobias can hear Jake’s thoughts. Interesting

Tobias has decided that Jake is the leader

Jake forshadows that something is gonna happen to Tobi

Knees reversing direction.

Jake has access to his morph’s memories. Interesting

Jake morphed into a neutered dog. Interesting, so they don’t morph into an exact dna duplicate but an actual copy of the creature

Dog!Jake can smell the yeerk or smells associated with yeerk. Interesting

Kids learn that they cant trust the police.

Marco has no intrest in getting killed to save the world

Ya know I’m wondering why child services never got involved with Marco’s family case. Cause a kid should not be taking care of his parent

The girls have already figured out the whole having clothes and morphing thing

Marco is very perceptive and a better fighter than Jake from the looks of it

I highly doubt that dna is much involved in morphing other than a blueprint of what should be the final result

Tobias morphed a healthy hawk from an injured hawk while Jake morphed a neutered dog from a neutered dog, and that’s very inconsistent for dna being important to the morphing process.

Tobias is one of those weak binches that overly anthropomorphize animals

So the yeerks are photosynthetic?

Tobi wants to blow up the yeerk pool and everyone in it

Tom, ‘Hey kids, wanna join a cult?’

Tom maneges to get something out to Jake

The girls are very good at people reading

Like some cult, it is a cult

Tobias would really rather be an animal with his furry ass

Jake’s gonna turn into Homer. At a party where his brother’s body is. Brilliant

Weak dog eyes that can’t see too well in darkness? Bullshit, dogs have much better night vision than humans.

Dogs dont know despair, bullshit.

There’s a lot of spelling and grammer errors in this pdf

Why is lizard Cas’s best guess for spying on someone who spends a lot of time inside buildings? Lizards are more noticeable than bugs.

Anoles are in the iguana suborder, not family

Jake is too big to fit in a locker well

Jake is a weak ass bitch who doesnt think lizards are cool

Jake doesnt practice shit before entering a life and death situation of his own volition

That … would also be smell. smell/taste, that’s what?

A spider with compound eyes…. What the fuck. That’s not a spider

Vore count at 2

Funky purple lighting in the yeerk pool

Cassie that’s some half assed animism yer going on about. Did you just make this some kinda holy mission?

Team gets a name

Tobi is a fucking idiot. The fuck are you gonna do with a medium sized predatory bird?

So why are they sneaking around durring business hours? Why not wait some hours?

Rachel likes dolphins

Marco is not good at driving

Marco is good at figuring out things.

Jake should pay more attention to his surroundings

Marco is a dark boy

So people saw Jake and Marco in the tiger exhibit

Jake is a weak ass bitch who doesnt like broccoli

Cassie’s missing

Huh, its a good thing that the kids decided to go in for a mission with no real plan and bad starting conditions. Elsewise Cassie woulda been made a controller and their asses woulda been forfeit.

Yeerks fucking zooming around in the pool

Tobias said that there were voluntary hork-bajir hosts and I know that’s bullshit.

The yeerk pool has very purple lighting

These kids better pray that the dude who was them is ded

This tiger feeling description is hilarious. Big cats are cowards who’d rather run that take on challenges.

Tobi manages to miss all of a hork-controller’s head blades in that swoop

Cas, like Tobias was a fucking idiot who chose not to get a battle morph. Also this chick owns horses, horses and stairs are not a great combination

Visser 3’s andalite eyes have vertical slits/eyes oriented in a way that the eyelids close verticly

Visser 3 morphed into a fire breathing 8 headed dragon

Tom decided to go out fist fighting taxxons

And Rachel should be having a terrible time with those stairs, oh she demorphed. Where people could see.

Tom fucking tries to fight Visser 3 the fire breathing dragon with his fists

So the animorphs managed to save one woman, that they know of

Cassie killed that police officer

Tobias got himself trapped in morph

[neburives]

Blab, similar, different, doing, psst (with Zarak) and dream for Sul, and Mwah and shh for both rorick and kogar? >w>

I’m gonna put the answers under a “read more” because this is gonna be long as fuck.

Lets just start with Sul’Jari since he’s gonna take the longest, right?

Blab: Three secrets they're keeping. 

Okay so Sul’s such an open person so most of his secrets arent really ones he keeps alone but rather stuff only very few people know about.

When he acts like Zaraks is annyoing him or is being too pushy it’s actually mostly because he’s way, waaaay to shy and bad with emotional talk to reveal to him that he basically crushes on everyone all the time. Zarak, Chiki und Naz very included.

Ever since he was on his own for so long after the destruction of Zul’Gurub, he’s had an addiction problem to some kind of plant or root. Chewing it or inhaling the smoke when it’s lit on fire really raises his spirits. He first discovered it when he was looking for something edible and quickly discovered that it would help him get out of the whole “all my friends are dead”-depression-hole for some time at least.

Lastly ever so often Sul’Jari, even though he’s a very social and outgoing person, likes to klimb up into one of the higher tree branches that span the city and just watch everyone going on their daily business from above. Those moments are one of the very few where he really likes being alone and he would probably never tell anyone about it in fear of losing that one point he can retreat to.

Similar: Three members of the same sex they find attractive.  

First and foremost Zarak of course but that shouldnt really be a surprise should it, because who couldn’t fall for that damn nerd?Apart from that he really liked the looks of one of the Hexdocs he used to spy on in Zul’Gurub, but more in an appreciative kinda sense.And not to forget: He just feels like Naoba is extremely fucking cute.

Different: Three members of the opposite sex they find attractive.

This one is a tiny bit simpler, since the people he finds attractive are also some of the ones he spends most time with.

First we have Chiki because how couldnt he like someone who is just as much of a frog nerd as he is. Aside from that he really feels drawn to her on a pure “personality” level. Then of course there’s Naz who happens to be one of the closest friends he has and lastly, though he has never ever talked to her but just seeing Kyu’cana from a far made him appreciate her looks quite a bit.

Doing: Three habits that they have.                                        

Sul is a person who tries to be friends with pretty much anyone he meets and correlating to that he has the habit of often going out of his way to find out about a persons favorite food or drink since he feels like thats the fastest way to get to know someone.Then theres a habit regarding his pet frog, Moochie. As some people might have learned recently Sul kisses Moochie goodnight every evening because he firmly believes that his Frogbaby won’t be able to sleep otherwise.The final habit I can think of is from way back when he was a child, but he has a habit of avoiding raptors. Even the nice, mounty ones he doesnt really like interacting with on his own.

Psst: Three things that they've always wanted to tell Zarak.

These are all things he really would like to tell Zarak but would never have the courage to do so in his curent state.

Firstly: Please don’t act stronger that you are to impress me. I’m already incredibly impressed by you and if you were to get hurt because of the way you want me to see you, I’d hate myself for it.Secondly: I love finally having a teacher, and I love having you as my teacher even more. But in your lessons there’s way too much talking and way to little setting things on fire with voodoo magic. Just sayin’And finally: Since I arrived this tribe has replaced the one I have lost. But you were the one who replaced the family I’ve been missing since and for that I love and appreciate you.

Dream: Three wishes they have.                                        

Since the usual wishes including other people would be the usual boring “he wants everyone to be happy” type of wishes, I’ll try to name three more selfish ones.

First he’d love to become a hexdoc one day, but honestly pretty much everything that is using Voodoo magic and stuff would work fine for him. Big, bad and feared but not by people he actually cares about. That would be terribleEven though he’s kinda afraid of them, he’d really like to overcome his fear and own a rinding raptor one day. Or a panther, but while scaring him more, raptors always seemed more interesting to him. Also just because he really wants to give it some silly name.Lastly he’d wish for him to get his whole addiction situation cleaned up because deep down that stuff really bothers him and he doesn’t want to rely on anything to be himself anymone.

So much for the Sul asks. Let’s go on with the Rorick and Kogar ones.

Mwah: Three people they'd like to kiss.                                        

Rorick: He’s not really the “kissing a lot of people” type (anymore) but there’s a few people he would definetely not deny a kiss from or even give one to himself. These people include:The lovely goblin bank lady in Dalaran, though he suspects that somethings odd about her.The giant tauren warrior woman that almost tripped over him during his last trip (heh) to Thunderbluff.And of course the gnome monk that once gave him a pretty bad beating... thinking of it maybe he really has a thing for stronger women.Kogar: First and foremost: Rekra. I mean seriously how could he resist that buff, muscular face of hers. Short answer: He couldn’t.Than Bömbur, his best friend and mentor for his time with the argent dawn. For an Orc that’s pretty proud of being part of the Horde, he really grew fond of that little dwarf during that time.And lastly: He’d probably have liked to kiss Zaela at some point. But more in a “I love your work” kind of way.

Shh: Three things they wouldn't want their parents to know.                     

Both their parents have been severely deathened by now, but if they were still alive (or come back in some way) there’s a few things they wouldn’t really want them to know.

Rorick: His parents were strict, but pretty honest and generous folks. And thats saying a lot for goblins. They always tried to teach him an relatively honest and good way of life. He’d love his parents to know that he made it to be a successful merchant and madequite a fortune for himself. On the other hand he would be really afraid of them finding out that he earned that fortune by selling useless junk to old people. On a sadder sidenote, he’d not want them to know that his younger brother already died a few years ago. But thats something he himself tries to forget as best as he can.Also he wouldn’t want them to know really how much of the things they tried to teach him he abandoned over time in favor of making a quick buck or selling someone out.Kogar: His father was a Warsong Clan shaman back in Nargrand but after him going all in with the whole demon situation, Kogar didn’t really feel like becoming his successor anymore so there’s always been kind of a unpleasant atmosphere between him and his parents. But from a pure “still his parents” way of looking at it there’s a few things he wouldn’t want them to know probably.He wouldn’t want them to know, just how deep friendships he has formed not only with non-orc horde members but even, to some extend, with the likes of dwarves and humans.He’d also probably be ashamend for them to learn that, while his decision to not wanting to become a shaman was purely his own decision, he later learned that even had he decided he wanted to become a shaman, there wouldn’t have been any way he could have, since he has little to no connection to the elements whatsoever.Lastly he wouldn’t want them to know, that the Warsongclan is basically non existant anymore. Though his own connection to the horde in itself is far stronger than to that what’s left of the clan he was born in, knowing what proud warsong orcs his parents were, he’d feel like it’d break their hearts to learn that their clan is nothing more than a shadow of the big, orcy awesomeness it has once been.

PLL 7B, Ep 5: In the Eyes Abides the Heart

Welcome back! It’s been 2 weeks since the last new episode so let me remind you where we last left the liars.  Hanna found out that Pastor Ted, her mom’s ex-fiance, was the father of CeCe aka Charlotte aka Charles.  Pastor Ted also innocently let her know that Charlotte had a childhood friend by the name of Lucas, the genius gaming millionaire and former high school classmate letting Hanna stay in his apartment for free.  Spencer finds out from her dad that Mary Drake killed her twin sister, Ali’s mom Jessica, and tried to frame him for murder by burying the body in the Hastings backyard.  Aria finds out that Sydney is indeed working with AD and is given a choice - play the game and be tortured by AD or join AD and watch her friends be tortured but be safe herself. Hmm...tough choice, I don’t know let me see what would I do...I think I would get a good lawyer and GO TO THE FUCKING POLICE.  What else, what else...oh right..ALI IS PREGNANT WITH EMILY’S BABY.  

Tonight’s episode, we are reminded every commercial break, was directed by Spencer herself, Troian Bellisario - fitting because after this episode I am officially convinced that the “Spencer has an identical twin” theory is real.  This theory goes two ways - either there are two Spencers running around (the more likely theory) OR Spencer really did die of her gun shot wound to the heart and fake Spencer took her place (my preferred ending for how ridiculous it would be).  

At the start of the episode Emily and Ali are wondering what they should do about the baby.  Emily feels angry and violated, the most real feelings I’ve ever heard from any of the liars. 

Aria is hiding out behind a dumpster outside a restaurant holding her phone. When her facetime rings, a creepy face comes up that seriously looks like a Paige and Aria faceswap (from now on known as Paria).  Aria tells Paria that she won’t hurt her friends, and Paria laughs and says she will because Ezra is one document away from going to prison (I still don’t fully understand this, did I miss something here? Is it a document that says he hooked up with Aria in high school because ...we all know.  Or did he plagiarize something at some point? I think we aren’t supposed to know what’s in that, but sorry if I’m wrong about that and leading you astray.)

At the brew, Emily/Ali tell the others that they went to the clinic to get blood tests - It should be noticed here that a simple blood test won’t determine the paternity or maternity of your child, they probably had to do an amniocentesis and Ali should probably be resting now.   They talk about Lucas - Hanna doesnt believe he knows anything.  Emily suggests going through Lucas’ things (something I would’ve done the moment Lucas let me stay in his apartment, even before I found out he was connected to Charlotte).  They assume the loft is full of bugs, but they want to search discretely anyway.   They all leave Aria, who misses a facetime from AD.  

Spencer brings cupcakes to Marco and asks Marco about Archer Dunhill’s finger.  She’s wondering what happened (even though she knows).  He thinks Mary Drake is a possible suspect in Rollins’ death. He asks Spencer if she knew Mary was involved with Archer and she immediately said no.  She reminds him she didn’t know Archer was dead when she asked him to look for Mary.

Aria comes back to the loft to find Ezra is on the phone with Nicole’s dad.  Nicole’s parents want Ezra to go back to NY.  Ezra leaves to go run errands and Aria’s facetime rings again.  Creepy Paria is mad that Aria sent her to voicemail again.  Paria sounds just like really corny. I’m not even sure how Aria talks to her without laughing.  It seriously looks like Paige in a fun house mirror.   Aria asks what AD is getting out of this and she looks at Aria and says:

Literally, exactly like that.   Aria tells AD that Hanna and Spencer went looking for Mary Drake and found the place she hid for a few days as well as Charlotte’s father.  AD hangs up.  

Back at Rosewood High, Paige and Emily are talking about Ali’s baby. Paige doesn’t know it’s really Emily’s, she still thinks its Archer, a fact Emily doesn’t correct.  Ali calls and lets Emily know the clinic called - it’s definitely Emily’s baby but it’s not Archer’s sperm.  They don’t know who the father is....yet.  I do have a theory on this, but I’ll save it for later. 

When Spencer gets back to her place, she sees a pillow out of place and an empty wine glass.  At the door sits a wine bottle with a note inside.  It says “Need to talk please, Mary.”

Hanna and Emily are not so subtlely searching through Lucas’ apartment. Hanna asks her what she’s going to do about the baby.   Emily says whatever Ali wants to do, and then changes the subject to the boxes under Lucas’ desk.  It’s a box of comic books.  Hanna muses about how cute her and Caleb’s babies would be (they definitely would be) while they go through the box.  At the back they find a manila envelope and inside is a comic called “Arcturus” by Lucas and Charles.  Hanna and Emily later show Aria the comic.  It’s a comic about a kid geting bullied and his friend turns into a super hero to torture the friends who picked him - it includes a lot of psychological torture.  Aria suggests maybe Lucas is the father of Ali’s baby and Emily says no and takes the comic away.   I’d like to point out here that the one liar missing from this scene is Spencer who’s busy leaving a note in a wine bottle at her door for Mary Drake.  

In their next facetime call, Aria tells Paria about the weird comic book.  She asks if facetime is Lucas, and AD laughs and says would I tell you if I was?  Then says “you’re a good spy Aria, now lets see what kind of thief you are.”  Curious that Paria wants Aria to steal a comic book and the only liar not in the room when the comic book was shown was Spencer..hmmm???

Let’s return to the show - Emily is drunk at Spencer’s house (you can always count on Spencer to have plenty of wine).  Emily says she keeps thinking about the letter Mary wrote Spencer with all the pain and regret of giving up her child.  Emily doesn’t want to write a letter like that.  Spencer stares at the wine bottle with the note in it as she talks.  

A possibly drunk Emily goes to Ali’s house and tells her that she wants her to have the baby.  She wants a chance to raise the child. Ali, looking concerned and confused, says we don’t even know who the father is.  Emily says we know who the father isnt (but it could still be a psychopath though....)  Emily says she doesnt want AD to win, and Ali is like what? And Emily is like that’s not my only reason and she understands if Ali can’t but she wants her to promise to at least think about it.  Ali says she promises. 

Hanna comes back home and goes to get the comic but realizes it’s missing. She calls Spencer (odd choice) who thinks Lucas is watching them.  As she’s on the phone she notices a new note in the wine bottle.  In it is a key...now the real mystery begins.... How the hell did the key not drop to the bottom of that wine bottle???

At the brew,  Mona shows Hanna that their factory space is on a real estate site and Lucas must’ve put it there.  Hanna stares at it for a few minutes then suddenly remembering that Mona is a genius, she tells Mona that she has to show her something. 

It’s now night time and a sketchy Aria is walking through the halls of Rosewood High with a flashlight , stopping in front of locker 214.  She opens it (it’s empty) then places the envelope with the comic inside.  As she’s leaving she hears a noise in the school and runs back to the locker. When she opens it a black hoodie is now inside.  

Emily gets drinks with Paige at the Radley, and finally tells her what is going on with her and Ali's baby  Just like all of us watching, Paige can’t get over the fact that Alison is having Emily’s baby.  Paige thinks she should leave town because she doesnt know who she’ll be to Emily if she stays.  Emily tries to beg her to stay and Paige looks at her saying “this is the third time i’ve said goodbye to you, i’m never going to say it again.” They share a last kiss and Paige leaves. 

Hanna brings Mona to Ali’s and shows her Liar’s Lament.  Mona basically makes love to the game.  She says it runs on battery and when she tries to touch the game a knife comes out and she laughs.  She wishes she could’ve built something like this because it’s brilliant and beautiful.  She then takes a lot of pictures of it on her phone.  Something tells me AD won’t like this..but then again AD is too busy facetiming her new bff Aria. 

Spencer uses the key to go to a house I assume is Mary’s? There’s mail all over the floor when she walks in.  She uses her flashlight to scan instead of turning on any lights, as you do in Rosewood. 

When Aria gets back she sees a bag packed by the door and Ezra sitting on the couch.  Ezra tells her that everything is ok but he has to go talk to Nicole’s doctor….in NY becuase her parents asked him to come.  Aria is like..do you think her parents really don’t know how to talk to a doctor?  What happens when we are married? He says he’ll be back in two days and she says i don’t want you to come back, I want you to stay - you dont know what I’ve done for us.  Ezra says what Nicole went through was the worst thing in the world and when she came back everything was different and it’s not fair.  Kind of like that time that Aria was kidnapped and tortured in a dollhouse?  Then she got back and Ezra and her decided to break up. She asks him to stay again but he leaves anyway. 

Ali is sleeping on her couch when a figure hovers over her.  When she opens her eyes Paige is standing there saying “wake up the door was open you should watch that.”

Spencer sits alone on the couch in the creepy house when she hears a noise at the door.  A flashlight shines in her face and it’s Marco.  He followed her there.  Marco is on to them and says that Spencer seems like she’s the most guilty because she’s so connected to Mary Drake.  He asks her if Spencer knew that Archer was at the bar the same night that they were (last season when they made out at the Radley after Spencer broke up with Caleb) or at least his credit card was - flashback to that time Spencer accidentally pulled out Archer’s credit card to pay for their drinks and signed it with her own name.  Also when he asked that night what she was doing earlier she “jokingly” said “burying a body.” Oops. 

Don’t worry, Paige was not there to murder Ali. She is just there to say goodbye because she is leaving Rosewood. She tells Ali she doesnt want to make it any tougher but she wants to know if Ali loves Emily.  Ali says shes the last person she should ask about love.  Paige says you know Emily loves you but Ali shrugs it off saying she was a terrible person and sometimes she still is.  She doesnt want to tell the truth and Paige tells her to try.  Ali says “ i know how i feel when she looks at me, I’ve never felt that with anyone before. It’s like she sees who you really are. Maybe that’s the scariest part. You look at her, her eyes, and you want to be worth the effort. You want to be the person she sees.”  Paige is smiling bc she knows that Ali loves her. Then she gets up to leave, before she goes she says “Ali, you’re going to have a beautiful baby.”

In her ridiculous over the top Mona way, Mona has mapped out a blue print of the game, showing how it all works.  Mona says whoever made it can’t stop it now - when the game ends, the game dies. Hanna asks if Mona thinks Lucas is involved.  Mona says its not computers, it was “lovingly handmade”.  Hanna asks Mona to help her play the game and win because she’s the only person who isnt afraid of it. Mona says shes not afraid of it because she doesn’t have a game piece on it.   Mona says that someone who plays with people’s lives like this is an addict - something she knows because she once was one.  Hanna looks at her and says, yes but now you can finally beat them.

Ezra is waiting for his flight to NY at the airport.  Now I was just joking when I said the PLL team always takes the express jet to NY but I guess it’s true.  As he’s listening to the flight delay announcements, he turns and sees Spencer talking to someone in the airport.  She notices Ezra and says hello, calling him over. The guy she is with turns around and it’s WREN - with a shaved head!  She cheerily introduces Ezra to Wren as the guy who was “almost her brother in law a few times” and asks Ezra to join them for a drink, he declines and begins to walk away.  She runs to catch him and tells Ezra that Wren used to work at Radley when Charlotte was there so she’s trying to get information.  She asks Ezra if he would mind keeping it a secret that he saw her there.  Hmm...Spencer was just caught by Marco in Mary Drake’s house and now she’s cheerily at the airport with Wren?  Also she wants Ezra to not tell anyone he saw her?  Could this be.....the identical twin???

Emily finds Ali crying in the bathroom looking distraught. I really thought Ali was about to tell Emily she had a miscarriage but instead she tells her she’s going to keep the baby because she thought about “what it means and what it could mean.” They are going to do it...together. #emison

Ezra returns home from the airport to Aria.  It’s awkward but Aria apologizes for what she said earlier. There’s really no need to apologize here because Ezra is a pedophile and kind of an asshole but whatever Aria is working for AD now so.. Ezra says his flight wasn’t cancelled, he just didn’t get on it.  In her bag Aria’s phone is buzzing but she doesn’t asnwer.  

As real Spencer comes out of the shower she knocks over the wine bottle with a new note in it saying “you brought the police. I understand. Goodbye.”

In the last scene, AD is sitting at an Inspector Gadget style computer editing the facetime photo of Paria.  The voice says over and over again “I warned you, I warned you, I warned you.”  The image then holds up a file with Aria’s name on it and she laughs in such a ridiculous way I can’t help but laugh with at her. 

Overall, I’d say this episode was a little boring. No big reveals, no shocking conclusions - even revealing Wren in the airport was not that dramatic.  I do really believe that identical twin Spencer is A.  AD is still someone’s initials after all....Amelia Drake anyone?  And what about Wren? It would be really easy to switch hospital records and steal someone’s eggs if you had a doctor on your side.  So maybe Wren really did lust after Spencer all these years, then found the next best thing - her identical twin.  Is Wren the father of Emison’s baby?  And where does Melissa fall into all of this? Is she just going to disappear like Judy Winslow?   So many questions, but to be honest I’m not sure I trust I. Marlene King to give us all the answers.
