MEET THE NPCS...

BOBBY YANG, “BIG BOB” .

1. how old are they and what do they look like?

thirty-four. implausibly tall. the day magda first saw a sketch of slenderman she thought of him. when her aunt shelly pulled up the dirt road to abernathy creek magda remembers seeing him through a dusty back window with his head bowed to avoid getting tree leaves in his eyes, joint between his lips, dungarees dirty and half unbuckled. one side of his hair is buzzed with no apparent style intention and he has a weed leaf tattooed behind his left ear. an elephant on his thigh. a name on his ankle he often wears a plaster over. once it soaked through and fell off in the creek and, newly glossy in the sun, nine year old magda reached to give it a blunt and shameless prod. big bob never explained who the name belonged to, he only reached to thumb at the minari growing by the water bed and talk about the fact it was a "versatile little sucker”.

2. if applicable, where and when did they meet your muse?

big bob introduced himself as such and magda raised her eyebrow in disbelief, the soul of a disgruntled pensioner in a seven yr old’s body. magda didn’t rly talk to anyone when she first arrived in her new home, verging on mute. she was angry at the move, angry that her dad hadn’t called her when she got there, angry that she didn’t know her mother’s voice to imagine it telling her everything was okay. the world made her so angry she didn’t want to acknowledge it. she sat outside in silence for a long time letting a ladybug crawl over her hand, and big bob didn’t ask anything of her, he only schlepped closer and presented her with a buttercup. she looked at it like it’d spat in her face but took it nonetheless. it was strange having an actual bed, if you could call a bare mattress that, used to sleeping on the sofa in shelly’s old trailer, and the springs nipped at her like a dog demanding treats, so she wandered outside in one of shelly’s big tie dye shirts like a nightdress, searching for the moon. big bob was standing out there already in the overgrown grass, stark naked, chin lifted to gawk at the moon himself. magda didn’t disturb him. this is when she first discovered his habit of naked sleepwalking. abernathy creek felt like a bird house overrun with all kinds of eccentric, squawking parakeets. it was a lot for a seven yr old to take in. this was a strange reality she’d never signed up for, swallowed by the commune to overheat inside it’s belly.

3. what kind of a presence do they have in your muse’s life? do they have a positive or negative relationship?

bob’s definitely a character. three times now he’s slipped hallucinogens into magda’s tea without her knowing under the impression that this is just harmless fun and he’s actually helping her by pushing her little boat to bob along the ocean of enlightenment, once at as young as 16. every time she realises he’s like “y’just got bobbeddddd!” and magda’s like here we go ig. told her the raw earth has healing properties to explain why he’d dug up the grass just to rub his hands in the soil and lay there like a panting, overheated dog. he’s an important component to abernathy creek and oversees a lot of the agriculture there. rigged up the irrigation system himself using copper pipes that magda suspects were stolen. the beat up camper van that’s usually parked up behind abernathy and hidden under leafy branches appeared when he did, apparently, although he insists it belongs to everyone. he leads the crusades to drive it up to the mountains and take a group of abernathy creek residents shroom picking. he’s in charge of drying them for selling, too. jack of all trades, really. magda claims not to care for him (or anyone) but she still walked out onto the grass, took his hand and lead him inside whenever she found him sleepwalking at night in her teens. once a group of kids were daring each other to get closer when he was out there and magda threw a stone so hard at one of their shin’s it split it open and made them scatter. but again, magda “does not care about him”. the jury is not convinced.

4. are they revered in irving? do they have bad blood with anyone?

honestly everyone in irving probably thinks he’s a rly strange guy and i won’t fk around. he kind of is. wears many necklaces around his neck n one is just a pouch that has a prehistoric mosquito encased in a little piece of amber inside. sometimes magda wonders if he likes to play up to his reputation by putting it on a little bit. once she saw him suddenly jerking his head like a pecking chicken and saying “g’warn GET” to scare a random middle aged hiker into galloping in the opposite direction in the trees near abernathy. has a masterful knowledge of bird songs and can imitate them all impeccably. sometimes does this instead of replying with words. never cares about the holes in his shoes where his toes poke out. always seems to be turning a rusty coin between his fingers like it helps him think. he makes moonshine that will knock u off ur feet tho which is always a good time if ur lucky enough to try it. he has a very rich n warm voice like a log fire or a gooey chocolate brownie. even with all of his oddities he sounds kind. he’s very unconventional n doesn’t abide by rules of society a lot but he’s quite funny n a good time. makes engaging smalltalk if u treat him with respect. weird but admittedly a tiny bit wonderful.

OTIS WOLFE.

1. how old are they and what do they look like?

forty-six but he looks older. the skin beneath his eyes is subtly purpled like it’s been dyed by a lick of beetroot juice. he has a very charismatic walk which doesn’t sound like it makes sense but it does to look at him. he walks everywhere buoyantly and with purpose. very high energy in his good days. lives everything in large quantities, good and bad. always used to wear a tan leather bomber jacket when magda was growing up but he forgot it w her one visit n it’s the only time she’s known him to call up two days after leaving to ask if she’d seen it. magda lied and said she hadn’t. she still has it to this day. sleeps in it on her bad days. otis has a smile so big it shines like live wires are sparking in his mouth. magda’s fingertips prickle like she’s an hour recovering from shoving a fork into a plug socket whenever she sees it. she used to think that’s what excitement felt like. that used to be true.

2. what kind of a presence do they have in your muse’s life? do they have a positive or negative relationship?

it’s very complicated. magda knows her dad isn’t a good person but she knows he isn’t a bad person either. sometimes it’s more frustrating to see things in grey because you just want something solid to take shape that u can actually put ur finger on. she finds herself perpetually stood at a fork in the road between believing in him still and deciding he’s no good. sometimes she’ll start walking in one direction only to realise it loops back on itself and she’s right back where she started. otis has given her a lot of fun “adventures”. taught her how to juggle. they stayed in a hotel on someone else’s credit card once and racked up a gargantuan tab ordering every form of room service and renting godzilla and the matrix on pay per view when she was 11. sometimes he’d use her in gimmicks where she had to lie and pretend she had a health condition so they could get a few bucks off charitable strangers on a street corner and under the veil of youth magda found playing up these roles funny because who would ever believe that? wasn’t everyone in the world so stupid except them? it was nice being part of his team. his “little wolfie”. but then a lot of things weren’t nice either. he’s left her stranded on the side of the road with nowhere to go on more than one occasion. he’s passed out in motel corridors and she’s had to lug him into a bed. he’s forgotten almost every birthday apart from one where he sent a card with five dollars inside and handwriting so squiggly she could tell he was drunk when he wrote it. he doesn’t know she likes to sing because he’s only ever listened when he’s fallen asleep. otis is all of magda’s heart and that’s why sometimes she likes to forget that it’s beating.

3. are they revered in irving? do they have bad blood with anyone?

he’s very flighty n rarely in irving any more tbh but was more when magda was younger n his visits were a little less sporadic. probably owes a bunch of people money for some reason or another. smashed up fannie’s recently when he turned up drunk and got ahead of himself on a giddy n frenzied rampage in the name of “fun” n “just having a laugh”. magda’s aunt shelly really doesn’t get on with her brother n thinks he’s a complete deadbeat waste of space n resents him a lot for the impact he’s had on magda. magda remembers being little and peeking through a crack in shelly’s trailer door when he turned up drunk one time to collect her for a visit n shelly wouldn’t let him in. something along the lines of “you don’t give a rat’s ass about that little girl” and “she worships you, y’know that? most of the time, you don’t even remember her name”. magda crept back onto the sofa and pretended to be asleep by the time she came inside.

4. if your muse is no longer in contact with them, how did the relationship end? did your muse get closure over this?

magda slowly stopped trying to keep in contact over the years. it got embarrassing trying so hard when she didn’t get much back. like pushing a boulder all the way up a hill only to watch it roll back down again. it’s probably contributed a lot towards magda’s inability to really try with people like she should, especially when her heart’s involved. she doesn’t want to be humiliated again. magda hasn’t spoken to her dad in person in almost a year. they had a phone call about seven months back but it turned out to be a butt dial and he hung up because he was in the middle of a conversation at some bar about the moon landing conspiracy. magda’s playlist that i have for her is called “a rodeo clown in a revolving door” which is basically the role otis serves in magda’s life. always in and out. never constant. gone more than he’s there, especially lately. idk if magda will ever get closure over that. she certainly hasn’t now. pouts my fuckable lips to the side w a hand on hip and triple f’s prominent.

#irvingtask002 #magda | muse #drugs tw #alcoholism tw #i said i was gna do hunter too but i simply just dnt have the energy i wont lie. so big bob n otis are all i have to present...... holds ban #omg. bang.#mayb i do more editions of this task for magda in future bc #i have hunter n shelly tht i wna write up....

I was writing a whole thing about how I wished instead of getting a dlc about Jack we saw more of his impact on the world after the events of 2 bc it feels like 2 happened and then... It's a vaccum and everything in 3 would've probably happened regardless. If that makes any sense. We saw more abt his impact on the world in the trailers where he was sculpted on the mountainside. The side quest was more about angel than Jack, and I'm glad, but then we got that dlc that just had Jack slapped on it even tho it wasn't *really* necessary

BUT the reason I havent posted that and instead am posting this is because I'm mad.

I'm real. Mad.

Okay.

In bl2 we hear about the quakes happening on Pandora because Jack is mining for Eridium and its literally tearing the planet apart.

Imagine. Fucking imagine.

If instead of Maya having to die for Troy to get her powers to bring Elpis to Pandora and leaving the stupid fucking idea that the Eridians LEFT THE KEY NEXT TO THE VAULT THEY DIDN'T WANT OPENED

WHAT IF

Instead!!!

Jack's mining operations broke/pierced the eridium crust of Pandora and that was how the Destroyer was slipping out, imo it'd be great near the eridium blight as that's where the big gash is from Bl1

What IF

INSTEAD OF THE TWINS BEING TYPHONS KIDS BC it had NO SIGNIFICANCE other than him being a total ASSHOLE about it and them knowing about the OTHER VAULTS we scrap the whole other planets thing bc it made the game feel incredibly shallow and weird so let's stick to Pandora this time??? Maybe we can go to Nekrotefeyo at the end to seal the gaps in the eridium crust because THE WATCHER LEADS US THERE and maybe instead of gremlin DeLeon it's another Siren waiting for us who dies after we help her close the Vault with Maya and Tannis or whatever idk idc anymore siren lore was basically thrown out the window in 3 anyway and Ava gets her powers. Maybe there can be the whole thing where Tyreen teleports in to steal those good good powers since there are 3 sirens in a room together (bc apparently Amara doesn't count in game??) but kills new siren before she can take them and the powers go to Ava. Boom. Now Ava is a Siren and also Maya is alive to train her.

instead of being typhons kids were gonna wipe him from existence and instead the twins as weird siren siblings were called to Pandora as sirens ARE NTOED TO BE and noticed the 'influence' of the Destroyer thru the cracks of the eridium crust. They can keep the whole 'we killed our mom by acvident' backstory so they still have those good good family issues without the gross DeLeon addition. So they're drawn to Pandora

Bc instead of the Eridians making a Vault in BL1 that calls people to it to get eaten, instead the Destroyer influenced people to try and open that Vault through a gap in the weird Vault dimension shit so it could feed since it is endlessly hungry whoa who would've guessed. So the Eridians are less evil and stupid in this version imagine that >:/

The twins Noted how the eridium and the destroyers influence was making ppl crazy on Pandora (literally call it Mayhem to tie into the marketing campaign) and figured they could use this to their advantage

And did what they did and started their internet influencer cult in order to help them discover what sort of power was lying under the surface of Pandora bc obviously it called them there because they were meant for it

So all that Eridium art and stuff is actually them continuing the mining operations from 2, using old DAHL and Hyperion workspaces and their cult as the workers and as a plus the eridium gives them buffs to become more powerful and probably leads to the cut 'good ending' where Tyreen looks fucked up on eridium and Troy got his weird wings and stuff and we also get the Pandora reactor cut stuff with Tannis AND we get an explanation for the Vault of the architects

All the other planet stuff could've been put in dlcs. Genuinely. It had no real bearing on the main story imho. We open Vaults on other planets for what? For the machine? Arbitrarily?? Fuk it it's all dlc now. Keep the game on Pandora and focus on the story. If we do end up on Nekrotefeyo maybe fucking explain why Maliwan is there???? Bc it makes no goddamn sense? Too many characters and plots are added or juggled thru the main story and too many changes in scenery and pace to make it feel like a cohesive story with actual stakes and shit. Everything takes place on Pandora and all the other planets are just DLCs. We get to break up a fight between Maliwan and Atlas over a Vault to help Rhys and Maya and Krieg are there like they were supposed to be. Maya and Ava need help on Athenas with a takeover and we get bonus Athenas content bc it's soooo short and we get more siren lore and hhhh. Eden-6, we get a call from Hammerlock's fiance asking for help to free hammylocks from prison and there's a Vault involved with the escaped prisoners and the Jakobs family with Clay and Aurelia is there but she isn't a villain. All of these lead to their original Vaults or w/e idc I just want a better main story not chopped into pieces how am I supposed to care about the characters if every 2 hours I'm thrown into another completely different handful of characters without the old ones making a reappearance like wtf

Anyway.

IMAGINE A GAME WHERE MAYA DIDN'T HAVE TO DIE LIKE THAT AND WE GET CONTINUITY FROM BL2 AND WE SEE HOW JACK IS STILL FUCKING US OVER EVEN TODAY

#Borderlands #Why does this keep happening #Screw it this is the plot of H2O au now #H2o au #Bl3 #Borderlands 3

Twilight Thoughts (BEASTARS Episodes 1-4 Part I)

Note: I realized this stretched FAR too long altogether, so i decided to break it up into two parts. that way it’s a tad less intimidating to read.

WARNING: SPOILERS IMMINENT FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO'RE DECIDING TO WAIT FOR NETFLIX TO RELEASE THE SHOW FROM PRISON. But hey, if you don't mind, then let's get this show on the road!

Just know for those who've just found me now that I've never read the manga (although I've known about it since last year), so this is from the perspective of an outsider going in completely blind. While I normally am an anime only dude considering I'm not much of a reader, I DO have plans to read it. But, only AFTER the anime has concluded. I gave my reasons in an earlier post.

Ok, so episode 1 gave me feels I didn't ask for but know I'd welcome anyway cuz I just luv torturing myself with a n g s t .

Episode 2 threw all my expectations out the window and made me question if I was even ready to continue watching this show with that ending.

Episode 3 made me truly invested. (as if I weren't already. lmao)

But episode 4 just now?

....goodness, I don't even know WHAT to think if I'm being honest. I still had to process everything long after.

Hmm....where to begin....I guess I'll just start with things I reacted to in episode 1 and go from there. I'll try to recall as much as I can. Grab the popcorn my dudes, you're in for a long ramble. ^ ^'

Episode 1: The One With the Long Ass Title

- Not even three minutes in and someone already dies. Like, b o i . Sure hope that dude wasn't important. Yeah, it's probably n-

- "When the time comes, I'll tell her how I feel!"

.....why would you do this to me, Itagaki? TT__TT

- Right here was also when I learned what Legoshi was like as a character. He was such a sweet cinnabun that he already made it on my list of good bois. Ngl, he reminded me of an old Digimon OC I created way back in 2016 who was a werewolf with the same sorta personality.

- when I saw Louis (Or as I started calling him, Bambi Senpai), I thought "Ok, he's the popular bishie who's probably gonna be a huge asshat." But later in the episode, I started thinking that might not be the case? I mean in this one, he was grade A jerk material. But there was something there. And I'm not just talking about that scene of him pulling on Legoshi's tie. Lmao

- Why y'all gotta be so mean to Haru? Like god, sometimes high school teen drama like this makes me so.....ugh.

- A mongoose voiced by Bakugou was something I never knew I needed to hear.

Overall, a pretty fun and engaging introduction imo. For something that's supposed to be Slice of Life, at least.

Episode 2: Oh Lord That Ending....

- Legoshi not wanting to get out of bed cuz of being depressed felt relatable, but I also felt bad for him despite not knowing what went down at that moment.

- I also wanna see more of his friends, but considering one of them was 2D and the only friend I know that had a spot in the trailers was Jack, I'm not holding my breath about that.

- Legoshi fighting his instincts in a nutshell:

I swear I started hearing Who's There and Borderline of Madness from P4 playing during this moment I am not even kidding. Lmao

- Ok, here's where I noticed Louis was actually nicer than I thought. Cuz even though he seemed mad at the goat boy for eating his script instead of reading it, he still helps him get his lines down.

- The cafeteria fight scene was so funny. "You sound stressed! MAYBE YOU SHOULD TAKE A NAP!" XD

- "Ok think, how can I lose in a natural way?" I luv how Legoshi KNOWS he can kick his ass, but tries his best to strategize how to lose in a believable way. Lmao

- More nice guy points for Bambi Senpai. Though, he seems to be curious about Legoshi for some reason.

- I always like rewatching that scene where the anteater guy ditches Legoshi at the Gardening Club. It's hilarious and the poor wolf acts so cute during that. ^ ^

- To my surprise, Haru didn't seem to remember that night. Which was weird, but then I realized when I went back that the subs threw me off and the goat actually said "Senpai!" so she didn't even know it was him.

- Legoshi too lost in his thoughts to pay attention to what's about to happen and overthinking just wanting to talk was such a mood. *sigh* social anxiety sucks.

- ....You know what I'm about to talk about next.

Like, it's the thing that keeps me from properly recommending this show cuz I have to stop randomly and say "Don't be alarmed by the end of episode 2. I swear it doesn't go anywhere the following episode!" After that, they ENDED THE EPISODE THERE. And I was like "....Wait, thAT'S IT? WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!" I was both concerned and dying. inside and out. Lmao

- Oh hey, I forgot to talk about the OP and ED sequences! While the ED songs are kinda just ok, their sequences, while very similar, change themes with every episode. This episode was about him and Haru, so it was pretty cute. The OP tho? GOD, I luv Wild Side so much. It's such a bop and I can't wait for them to release the full version. I haven't heard something so jazzy since Wake Up Get Up Get Out There from Persona 5 and I feel like that genre is criminally underused in anime OPs. The sequence itself? SO cute! But also kinda sad cuz it seems to be showing what goes on in Legoshi's mind. He hopes he could get to know Haru and be with her, but it ends with him afraid with a skull and blood everywhere. Almost as if he's thinking "What've I done?" The art direction was really creative too. It reminded me of the stuff you see from Coraline or uhh....Fantastic Mr. Fox? Yeah, that.

Well, i guess that’s that for now. see you guys possibly tomorrow with the second part where i talk about episode 3 and 4!

Oh wow I’m grumpy. vent

Thing 1: landlord is stealing my security deposit claiming he has to fix up our damages despite the fact that the place was a very literal trash dump with holes in the floor, broken windows, smashed toilet, busted pipes, nonfunctional outbuildings, and one pasture unusable he told us was well-fenced. we put thousands into repairs and dozens of hrs of work to make it livable. I’m 100% sure he couldn’t legally rent us the trailer in the condition it was in, in January with no heat besides a wood stove with a burnt up wall behind it.

Thing 2: I ordered some things from Amazon, including the mattress cover I really need to protect things from teen puppy Kestrel. Sent to my old address cause I’m a dumbass. Marked delivered last week. My dad checked twice, talked to new people who live there, no packages. So I need to deal with Amazon to get it refunded and wait another week to get my things

Thing 3: Doing farm chores was the highlight of my day back at the old place, something I took my time doing and got a sense of. meditative peace out of

but now it’s just this 4 hr slog bc I have to take incredibly frequent breaks in AC or I’ll get lightheaded and weak. even with the breaks I’m uncomfortable and mildly sick. come inside and collapse in bed chugging water and dripping sweat. then I have to go back out again. over, and over, and over again. to get everything done in little chunks.

FUCK Florida summers and FUCK the sun. I hate this. it’d be fine if I didn’t essentially work outdoors but I am so so so so beyond ready to get to the Georgia mountains already. the summers will suck (still 5-10F less than here this week tho). but at least they aren’t uh. 95-98 for a week on end. this week I looked at the one 90 degree day in the forecast and went “Wow! That’s nice and cool, I’ll have to finish up some projects!”

HEY FLORIDA IS HELL I love everything about moving here and I love my new little farm family. except one thing. the actual physical location.

hey CJ since we’re getting ep4 next week, can you list all of your possible theories/predictions for episode 4 ? how the episode will start, how it will end, deaths, scenes, and what not :)

*deep inhale*

buckle in

it’s a long one

You know what I’ve noticed? We haven’t had a single walker death, have we?

Marlon killed Brody, AJ killed Marlon, Lilly killed Mitch [😭], Clementine killed Abel, Louis killed Dorian, AJ killed Lilly/ Lilly killed James, we’ve blown up who knows how many delta soldiers but…

No one has died from a walker bite or walker attack, and we haven’t had to deal with a bite victim in our group.

Which… is weird, right? Just me? All three of the previous seasons had ‘em.

S1: Girl in the motor-in, Doug/Carly, Duck, Brie, Lee

S2: Pete, Sarita, Carlos, Nick, Luke, Sarah

S3: In all of the endings, Kate, David, and Gabe [and Javi, if you count the fake-out ending] can be killed by a bite/turned into a walker. [Also Conrad can die to the walkers in one of his many deaths]

So… s4 gives us?? A bitten Abel?? But it’s determinate and he lives anyway?

This just kind of makes me think that we might get one in episode 4 since we haven’t had to deal with it. Then again, they might just be going for the whole “humanity is more dangerous than walkers” thing, but for the sake of argument…

I don’t think Clementine will be canonically bitten like Lee was. By that I mean she may get bitten if that’s what prompts one of the endings. Same thing with AJ.

I’m thinking that one of the kids might get bit, and I’ve narrowed it down to Tenn and Minerva.

Tenn because I feel he would be the most tragic and it could really show us what kind of AJ we’ve created.

Maybe AJ’s super cold and just… shoots Tenn before anyone gets to say goodbye because “what do you do when someone’s bit?” and it doesn’t really affect him all that much even tho he considered him his friend.

Or, maybe AJ’s legitimately heartbroken that his friend is bitten and doesn’t want him to die and we see our kid just… cry over his friend.

Or maybe there’s a happy [?] medium where AJ’s upset but he knows what has to be done, so he says his goodbyes, lets everyone say their goodbyes, and then whoever [most likely Clem] puts him down.

As for Minerva, if she survives the explosion, might get bit as some sort of “redemption” by saving Tenn or whoever.

Lilly / James Endings

So, I’ve already discussed the whole Lilly vs James choice in previous asks so I’ll just summarize my best guess as to what they may do as far as the outcomes. I think with this choice, we may be choosing our final antagonist.

[spare Lilly] I doubt they’ll just kill her off in the explosion because she’s fucking Lilly and the devs said they’re straying away from choice payoffs like that.

I think she’ll be “missing” as in when we wake up we may not see her [unless she is there and attacks us and we have to escape her again] and she’ll gather up any delta survivors to get revenge and possibly take AJ [assuming they’re going for the s1 parallel of kidnapping a child] and then we’ll have a final battle with her.

I’m hoping it’s by the barn so that we can bash her brains in with the salt lick like WHY ELSE WOULD THEY SHOW IT TO US??

Lemme look her in the eye while Clementine holds the salt lick over her head and say,

“Larry bled like a fucking pig, and so will you.”

Fuck Lilly jfc

[shoot Lilly] Again, I doubt if we save James that he’ll be killed off during the explosion, but we’ll get separated.

after an intense escape scene and I think we’ll meet up with some of the group [Louis/Violet, Aasim, Omar] but no one else is accounted for but there are too many walkers drawn in from the explosion to stay put and look.

Clementine might send everyone back to the school while she searches for AJ because I don’t see her just assuming that he made it back without looking. But, when we get to the school be to find that [hopefully] everyone made it back okay [more or less] except AJ and James.

Which prompts a “Oh shit, we have to go find them!”

Whether they’ll go through with the ‘kidnapping’ part of it, I dunno, since it’s been pointed out that James doesn’t really seem like the type unless it was for some extremely drastic measure.

We might have to justify our actions to him and explain why we told AJ to shoot.

I said before that part of the choice [James vs Lilly] might be to let James die a friend and thinking AJ’s saved, or prevent his death and watch him turn on us. But, I dunno. Either way’s heartbreaking.

AJ + What becomes of him

I agree with a lot of people when they say that we won’t be influencing his choices next episode and he’ll make his own decisions based on what we taught him.

This is a little worrying because I’m not the greatest parent… after all, I shoved Abel through the window, let him attack Dorian, told him to shoot Lilly…

But! I didn’t kill the walker couple [what good that’ll do I dunno], I let him know that killing Marlon was wrong, didn’t give him dibs on Abel, I didn’t torture Abel…

I’m just eager to see just how much it’ll affect how my choices shape him because I don’t want to it be just one or two things.

Deaths

Honestly, I think it’d be cool if everyone was determinate.

Imagine the combo of endings that could produce.

I’d hate it because I don’t want my kids to die, but at least if they were all determinate then I could possibly save them all, right?

Unless we get an A vs B choice again in which case PLEASE DON’T

I keep thinking of scary combos like

[save Aasim] vs. [save Ruby]

[Save Tenn] vs. [save Willy]

[save Willy] vs. [save Aasim]

[god looking at these makes me think of those fanmade ending screens that are all over reddit and I don’t like it]

I know that if they throw ANY of these at me I’ll just be stuck there, staring at the pause screen gripping my controller to the point of breaking it and trying to not scream.

Also, I list those ones because I don’t think we’ll have another [save Louis] vs. [save Violet] choice because at this point it’s a little pointless? It’s a shitty choice for the player to make but… it’d be easy, too? Depending on which route you’re doing? Like, I’m not going to pick Louis for all three episodes then suddenly be like “Nah, gotta save Vi” because???

I think my choice is pretty obvious at this point, game, c’mon.

But, if that’s not the case, I��ll list who’s most likely to die down to least likely:

Omar [sorry buddy, you’re on all our lists and I hate it]

Minerva

Tenn

Lilly/James

Willy

Aasim

Ruby

Louis/Violet [betrayed]

Louis/Violet [saved]

Clementine

Tho I hope Omar lives to the end so he can turn to the camera and flip all of us off for talking shit

Gimme that romance

I know we just took down [or did we…?] a bunch of sick delta raiders but that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t get to smooch Louis again, okay?

After all this shit, I’m gonna need to see some romance with Clementine and her bf/gf [or bromoments if you friendzoned them]

Let me hug AND kiss Louis.

I think we deserve it at this point.

Also, he’s pretty messed up from shooting Dorian [OR YA KNOW LOSING HIS TONGUE]

And gimme angst with Violet. I’ll try not to get pissed off this time around since I’ve got a better understanding of her character after taking time to process it. So long as she doesn’t hurt anyone [and I doubt she will] then we’ll be fine.

Long post, but there are some of my thoughts.

Maybe once the trailer comes out I’ll have more ideas and predictions, but for now, that’s all folks.

#asks #twdg #twdg theories #twdg clementine #twdg aj #twdg louis #twdg violet #twdg ruby #twdg willy #twdg mitch #twdg aasim #twdg omar #twdg james #twdg lilly #twdg marlon #twdg brody #twdg tenn

Thoughts on the Toy Story 4 trailer

okay, so I’m actually refering to the first two-minute slength trailer that got released a few weeks back, and it’s the french version, but I got busy so I couldn’t do it earlier. Therefore “ne perdons plus de temps!”

-The hype is real. I went Toy Story fan when I was three, and never got back. So happy to see the gang again.

-By the way, people were so pissed about a Toy Story 4, holy cow. I don’t get it. Are you people so afraid it’s gonna ruin “Toy Story 3′s perfect ending” ? Come on,at this point, it’s just like seeing old friends again. Sure, you can get a bit anxious at the idea that time has passed and you might not get along as well as before, but they’re your friends. You should look at the positive, and be happy at the prospect of meeting your pals back.

-Woody acting like a dad right out the bat, yes, this is content for me.

-Forky throwing himself out the window, probably triggering some PTSD for Woody and Buzz.

-Woody literally ready to risk his neck for a toy he’s only known for like only some hours/days, and he does it because Forky is Bonnie’s favourite, and no toy gets left behind. * wipes tear* I’m so proud of this cowboy doll guys, he’s grown so much.

-Buzz going “I’ve got to find my cowboy bro” is the sweetest, I did not expect less from him.

-Buzz botched acrobatics and Woody’s flopiness still getting giggles out of me after all this time. I’ve missed you guys..

-��Thank you, inside voice.”

-On that note, most of the french voice actors reprised their roles for the movie and I’m so happy. No offense to Tom Hanks and Tim Allen, but I cannot unhear Richard Dabois and Jean-Philippe Puymartin as Buzz and Woody. (Also, let me tell you : you experience some serious whiplash once you gotfrom Barbara Tissier’s Jessie to Joan Cusack’s Jessie, like wow, their voices have totally different pitches.)

-I do love myself some good ol’ color-contrasting ennemies, so good point for Bo and Gaby wearing opposite colors. Like, if Pete and Lotso were Woody’s villain, I think Gaby is gonna be Bo’s villain, and I like that. Maybe for turf war on the attraction park.

-On that subject , I wanted to say this for while now, but I really appreciate that the story is going to take place in an attraction park. The toys usually stayed in enclosed space in the trilogy, so this will be a nice change to see them a bit more on open space.

-On the “eh” side of things tho, I’m pretty sure this is gonna spark some debate on the future, but I doubt this Toy Story movie is gonna reinvent itself narratively speaking. It has shades of the second and third movie into it : “Woody is separated from the group!” “Buzz must search for Woody!”, “they all have to get away from some place to go back home!”. I think at this point it’s up to you to decide if those are “tired tropes” or “staples” of the franchise. I hope I’m just worrying myself for nothing over there.

-Still for the most part, I have good hopes for this movie. And I do think Pixar put care in it . I mean, it’s their master franchise, so they gotta play it good.

-I think the french trailer edited some stuff out and focused more on the “adventure/fun” aspect of it. Like Bo Peep is’nt really introduced in the trailer, she’s sort of “there” . I don’t really mind though, so I can experience the full gut punch of seeing her in the theaters once I watch the whole movie.

So yeah overall , I really like this trailer, it makes me excited, and I’m just happy to see my toy friends again. I like to think’ it’s gonna be a pretty solid movie and follow-up. Introducing Forky and the “what makes a toy a toy” is a good concept, and bringing back Bo is a good idea that hooks me up for more.

i just watched detective pikachu too what are your thots on it!

I enjoyed it actually!! More than I thought I would. I’ll give my slightly more spoiler-ish review under the cut:

I’m not a big fan of adult humor shoved into movies just for the heck of it but I felt like the adult jokes in the movie were actually written with intention and care rather than “oh shit our script is bad…we need to make the adults laugh, let’s make a cocaine joke!” Maybe part of it is that that’s exactly where my brain went too with that shit and it was humor based on important plot points, and the dialogue didnt feel awkward (well it did but it was supposed to because tim was in a tizzy). Another part of it might be ryan renold’s just natural inclination towards those kinds of witty roles but tim’s actor (IDK HIS NAME SORRY) played off the same energy and made them flow okay too. All in all, I can completely agree with the statement that Detective Pikachu is what hollywood video game-to-movie adaptations should be. It feels very hollywood while also not being an insult to the Pokemon franchise, which is a very delicate balance although in retrospect it’s not that hard bc pokemon and hollywood both just want to make money. I just have low expectations.

Seeing Braviary made me rlly rlly happy!! he looked so good!! I saw rufflet in the trailer ofc but I never saw Braviary and he looks super cool! I really loved the treecko on the window at the apartment building as well. The torterra were another cool surprise. I can agree that most Pokemon in the movie are in at least one of the trailers in some form tho. But seeing their full performance in the movie is much more fun imo! Overall the CGI was really great, there was like…one scene or two scenes where I noticed slight awkwardness between Tim/Pikachu when they were interacting physically, but it was pretty minor (like when Pikachu was unconscious, Tim wasn’t cradling him as baby-like as I would, he seemed more tense and less careful than I’d expect).

The bulbasaurs made me cry and my mom liked the mr mime scene. I saw that one post a lot and still didn’t believe it until I saw it. He’s fucking dead now I guess. ALSO I FEEL SO BAD FOR MEWTWO just let him be free and happy!!! he just wants to chill with the bulbasaur and the morelull!! goddamn!!! I wanna do that too, just fuck off to the woods and hang with some bulbasaur and morelull, tbh

Plot-wise I think the villain was the most relatable villain in the entire Pokemon franchise because I, too, would do anything to become a Pokemon. Idk why he thought it was necessary to do that to other people tho. Like he could just charge money to do that to people? And he’d get paid AND not get arrested? People would pay to do that. I would pay to do that. Is it ethical? No. I just thought his motivation for that part was kinda weak. Typical weak hollywood twist villain tbh. But god his actions were great, i wish I could copy paste his goal onto an actually good character.

Girl character is girl and romance is cliche. Would’ve been more fun if she stayed a psyduck and Tim had an ethical dilemma as to whether or not it’s okay to fuck a psyduck with a human-level consciousness (a pussyduck, if you will). And I hate it when fictional scenes make me think of the ethical-ness of inter-species breeding so that’s saying a lot.

The story’s main pull was the relationship between Tim, his father, and Pikachu, and the mystery they had to solve, and while the plot is kind of rough, the emotion behind it makes it all worth it imo. It’s a typical hollywood film, I’m only 18 and barely watch any movies but I’ve literally seen this story done before. But to do it with Pokemon, and to do it with actors who really seem to care…that’s what made it worth it. You’ve seen the story before, but it’s still a cute film. It’s not bad or obnoxious even though the story is pretty rough. It can still make you emotional even though it’s kinda cliche. It’s just…fun. Turn off your brain because it’s Pokemon and Pokemon never has a good story, and you’ll just have a lot of fun.

I wish I was in rhyme city when that all happened so that I could ask mewtwo to keep me a pokemon

Oh I was also surprised by the amount of gen 5 Pokemon, although I was in the trailers too. I’m gonna count up all the Pokemon I remember seeing now - I’ll probably forget a few gen 1 pokemon since it’s definitely gen 1 heavy and I was mostly looking for non-gen 1 pokemon, but hopefully I still got them all.

Gen 1: Bulbasaur, Charmander, Charizard, Squirtle, Blastoise, Pikachu, Jigglypuff, Growlithe, Arcanine, Machamp, Polywhirl/wrath…? (I think but I dont remember aaa), Gengar, Snorlax, Magikarp, Gyrados, Eevee, Flareon, Pidgeotto, Pidgeot, I think there were Pidgeys but I couldn’t really tell…, Mew (picture only), Mewtwo, Ditto, Psyduck (…duh), um…I think that’s it?TOTAL COUNT: 24+ (again I might’ve missed some)

Gen 2: Noctowl, Aipom, Snubbull, SneaselTOTAL COUNT: 4

Gen 3: Treecko, Ludicolo…I think that’s it…TOTAL COUNT: 2

Gen 4: Torterra, um…..?? seriously wait, is torterra the only one? I gotta google this hold on-

…i forgot lickitung, cubone, doduo, dodrio, and rattata in gen 1. and primeape. i also forgot togepi and actually a fuck ton more. i remember all of those tho not some of the other ones. f. i dont remember primeape tho and also i mostly remember doduo and dodrio from the trailer oops

I FORGOT MOTHER FUCKING MR MIME

this post is cancelled but looking on bulbapedia tells me that the totals for each gen pokemon (species, not how many appear) are:

Gen 1: 32

Gen 2: 7, but bulbapedia says 6, i saw several noctowl towards the beginning of the film tho and bulbapedia doesnt have noctowl listed

Gen 3: 4

Gen 4: 3 (lmao)

Gen 5: 8

Gen 6: 4

Gen 7: 2

Overall a kind of weird distribution imo. I realize the first chapter of Detective Pikachu (the game) came out before gen 7, but still, it’s kinda weird to me personally. Gen 5 only has a major lead compared to every gen except for gen 2 and gen 1, but still. The fact that it’s the second most represented gen (more than gen 2, even!) is interesting to me. Maybe cuz the film was made in the US? so Unova? //shrug emoji//

But anyways yeah, i thought it was good!

5.000 Prompt #4 & #120 - Jinx X Kid Flash, please!

Nice. Er… the first one is probs a little shite; I really struggled with the prompt and idk why.

Second one had me smiling whilst I wrote it tho.

And I know Wally in TTA has blue eyes but I really prefer him having green eyes like in YJ. Oh well, sue me.

These are a fair bit shorter than any of my robstar ones but hey, there are 2 in this reply so.

Hope ya like them.

“You are going to have to eat something if you want to run from cops all day.”

It was warm, thesunlight drenching everything in its path. An interesting thing considering itwas getting on towards the middle of Fall. The orange and brown leaves had mostlyalready fallen to the ground, crunching beneath people’s feet.

Good things were ontheir way like Halloween and Thanksgiving and the nights were getting coolerand crisper; perfect weather for snuggling up to loved ones with hot cocoa.

Wally smiled as hisgreen eyes scanned the windows of the shops they were passing. He had so manyideas for Christmas presents but he was still about 2 months early so he was restraininghimself all he could.

He rolled hisshoulders beneath his red and yellow coat, flexing his fingers that wereintertwined with his girlfriend’s. He looked over at the pink haired beauty inquestion who had her eyes on the sidewalk they were walking upon.

It was nice thatthey could go out together without bothering with disguises or holorings. Thetown they’d chosen to call home together was quiet and whilst they savedinnocents when necessary, the public nor police tended to make connections orreally take an interest; a vast difference to Jump or even Steel city.

She must haverealised he was staring at her because she turned her head toward him,smirking, “What’re you looking at?” She asked, with a mock attitude.

“Just some hottie.”He replied, flashing his teeth as he grinned,

“Loser.” Shelaughed, rolling her eyes.

Jinx suddenlysniffed the air, the delicious aroma of food filling her nostrils, “Wal, do yousmell that?”

He inhaled thesmell of greasy fast food and smiled, “Oooh… hot dogs…”

As they turned thecorner of the street, they located the source. There was a silver trailer withan open front, a sign on the top and a crowd nearby. They could hear the radiobeing played whilst the cook did his job and the sizzling of fries and burgerson the grill were unmistakable.

Wally sped up,dragging Jinx with him. She smiled and rolled her eyes; she often wondered ifthere was ever a time that he wasn’t thinking about food.

He halted in frontof the fast food trailer, his eyes roaming over the menu whilst licking hislips. After what felt like forever, he finally nodded to himself and smiled,

“What do you want,babe?” Wally asked, eyeing Jinx.

“Just a hot dog,thanks.” She murmured, leaning into him a little,

Wally grinned atthe man inside, “Can I get 3 regular hot dogs please?” He asked, gaining anaffirmative nod from the vendor and forked over the cash,

Jinx’s bright eyeswidened and she pulled away to stare at him incredulously, “Seriously? You’regonna eat 2 hot dogs?”

He snorted, “Why doyou sound surprised?”

“I’m not. You’rejust ridiculous.”

“You’re justjealous because my metabolism is waaay faster than yours.”

“Uh-huh, that’s it.You got me.” She muttered, shaking her head,

After a fewminutes, the chef handed one hot dog to Jinx and the other two to the redheadedboy himself. Wally thanked him and the two continued to walk down the streettogether.

Before they’d evenmade 3 blocks, Wally had finished his first hot dog and was onto his second.Jinx, who was halfway through her sole hot dog, raised her eyebrows,

“Where do you evenput it?”

Wally chuckled,taking a huge bite of his secondary hot dog, “I told ya. It burns off before iteven digests meaning I never lose my abs.”

Jinx narrowed hereyes at his stomach, “Abs? Where? I don’t see them.”

He scowled at her, “Ha-Ha.You’re funny.”

She smiled and tookanother bite of her food, “I know.”

As they wandered, acomfortable silence befell them for a short time as the two simply ate theirfood. They reached the end of the street which led to an open park and stopped,Jinx swallowing her last bite of hot dog, scrunching up the napkin and throwingit in the trashcan outside the gates of the park.

“Y’know, it’sprobably a good thing you’ve eaten a lot anyway…” Jinx mentioned, slyly,

Wally paused beforehe could take his last bite. His eyes swiveled to her, unnerved, “Why?” Heasked, skeptical,

She smirked as shestared ahead at the park, “Oh no reason…” She paused, “you are going to have to eat something if you want to run from cops allday.”

By this point hehad finished off his hot dog but passed mid chew to stare at her wide eyed, “What?Why would we be running from police?”

Jinx shrugged, coyand tilted her head from side to side, “Do you remember that diamond bracelet Iwas looking at in the jewelry store?”

Wally slowly nodded,dabbing his face with the napkin cautiously, completely thrown by the thingsshe was saying,

She smirked, thatsignature mischievous glint in her eyes, “Well,it was so expensive but I reallywanted it so…” She scuffed her toe against the concrete briefly,

Whilst Jinx hadreformed and mainly did good things, working as a hero rather than a criminals,she was a bit of a loose cannon and occasionally relapsed on her promises ofnot stealing ever again.

His eyes widened tothe size of dinner plates and he felt his heart drop and a case of nerves buildin his chest instead, “Jinxy, you didn’t-”

“No!”

Momentarily reliefsurged through him, “Oh-”

“You did.”

He almost fell onhis ass, he was so surprised, “What!?”

She gave him aslow, naughty little grin, “Check your pocket.”

Gulping, Wally slida hand down into his coat pocket. He closed his eyes and cringed as hisfingertips brushed over the smoothness of the diamond bracelet. He shook hishead, struggling to form words to reprimand her,

“Jinx! You know wedon’t steal-”

She rolled hereyes, “Being good is okay and all but sometimes, I miss the rush of being acriminal, that’s all.”

Wally flinched ather flippant behaviour, “That’s all!?”

“Will you shut upand start walking already?”

“Why?”

She smirked, “Don’tyou hear the police sirens? We gotta get going if we don’t wanna be caught.”

He merely blinkedat her, his mouth hanging agape as disbelief consumed him. She giggled and spunaround on her heel, sprinting through the gates of the park.

Now that shementioned it, those sirens were getting awfully close. His heart startingbeating rapidly and he gulped, shaking his head and chasing after hisgirlfriend,

“Jinxy! Get backhere!” He called after her, frantically looking back to keep an eye on thosepolice cars closing in,

He really lovedJinx but boy, did she like to throw one hell of a curve ball sometimes.

“I’m not trying to threaten you.” “Well I do feel pretty fucking threatened!”

Licking his barefingers free of pizza grease, Wally smiled lazily to himself, momentarilysatisfied by the entire pepperoni pizza he had just stuffed down his throat. Hewiped his hands on the sofa before sighing and leaned back against the pizza.

He heard asimilar sigh but it was more like a sad or unhappy one.

Wally looked overat Jinx who was sitting more or less like he was, her feet up on the edge ofthe coffee table and her hands resting on her slightly bloated tummy, full fromtheir pizza pig out. The boxes lay on the table, empty with nothing but crumbsleft inside.

“You okay, Jinxy?”He asked, speaking through his food coma haze,

She sighed andshook her head,

“What’s wrong?”He asked, suddenly concerned,

“Wally… you maynot like it but… we need to start eating better.”

He blinked beforehe suddenly found himself in a bit of a cold sweat, nerves rocking through him,“Excuse me?”

Jinx rolled hereyes and sat up straight, crossing her legs and turning her entire body towardshim, “Wally-”

He was confused.

“No, seriously.What?”

“The bad foodhabits aren’t good for us. If we keep it up, we’ll never be useful heroes toanyone.” She told him, tilting her head towards him,

He sat upsuddenly, his brows furrowed and he opened and closed his mouth several timeslike a fish out of water, “You must be joking, Jinx. Tell me you’re joking!” Heshrilled,

She cringed and rolledher eyes at him, “I just mean not as much junk, Wally.”

He shook his headminutely, “Look, if this is your way of trying to get me to participate more indaily training, then ya got me. I’ll do it. You don’t have to threaten me!”

Jinx raised aneyebrow at her boyfriend, “What? I’m nottrying to threaten you-”

“Well I do feel pretty fucking threatened!”Wally yelped, looking like someone had snatched his most favourite toy in theworld from him,

Jinx’s face wasblank and she folded her arms over her chest, “You’re overreacting.”

Wally threw hishands up in the air, “Hey, you’re the one trying to take all the joy outta mylife!”

The pink hairedgirl sighed, “Look, I-” She suddenly stopped and frowned, “Wait, junk food isthe only joy in your life, huh?”

His eyes widenedas he realised what he’d just said, “Wait-”

Jinx got to herfeet, her fists on her hips, “That’s it! I’m replacing everything in the fridgewith salad and fruit! How about that!?”

He slapped hishand to his chest, staggering back against the couch, “Jinxy! NO!” He gaspeddramatically, “Don’t… do… it!”

With that, hecollapsed back on the sofa, his arm and leg falling over the back of the seat.He panted harshly, acting like she was effectively killing him.

“Dear lord, don’tlet her do it.”

Jinx’s expressionwas deadpan and she dropped her shoulders as she stared at her boyfriend incomplete disbelief. She shook her head and rolled her eyes,

“Sometimes, I can’tbelieve I’m actually dating you by choice.” She sighed, collecting the pizzaboxes off the table whilst he continued to fake a heart attack over hersuggestion.

okay but imagine this pt 2

Aftg Buzzfeed unsolved au pt 2 inspired by @aglionbyfoxes. Find part 1 here.

Andrew is still Sceptical™ about ghosts, but aliens? 100% most definitely Real. This seems like common knowledge tho so it doesn’t come up until...

It’s a movie night with all the foxes and Neil managed to even coax Andrew into coming by promising tons of ice cream and less innocent things he likes

The foxes are all huddled up around the tv and watch The Fourth Kind

(Which if you haven’t seen it yet you should check the trailer of here)

Now there are two reactions to this movie:

Either A) you are scared shitless because fucking hell how can u not believe after seeing that (People who fall in this category: Matt, Allison, Dan, Kevin and (although he will never in a million years admit it:) Andrew)

Or B) you think its paranormal activity levels of Bad (People who fall into this category: Nicky (surprisingly), Renee, Aaron and... )

Neil

Andrew can’t fucking believe it

“you believe in fucking ghosts but not in aliens which are statistically more probable?????!!!????? Don’t they teach you anything in maths????”

It’s the first thing andrew says when they’re on the roof

but like Andrew is Offended okay

His idiot junkie really is stupid

Neil in the meanwhile just blinks at him like

“u believe in aliens but not in GHOsts”

It becomes a Thing

That bugs Andrew enough to actually so something about it

So... he goes to Kevin the history Nerd™ for help because surely there needs to be proof in history of aliens existing

They live in a universe where fucking stickball is a thing so aliens shouldn’t be a reach

Kevin actually delivers with stories and paintings of things that look a hell of a lot like space crafts and spacemen

Andrew basically holds a presentation for Neil thats how dedicated he is to proving him wrong

Now Neil is the one who is Sceptical™

Because like yeah those paintings exist but who tf knows it could have been fashion back then and it could have looked like that for any number of reasons

Kevin is back to useless status when he kind of half heartedly agrees with Neil

Next up: Actual footage of flying saucers and interviews and all that stuff that is also very much Proof and his junkie better fucking believe him now

But when Neil sees it

When Neil fucking sees it

He has the nerve

to throw Andrew’s words of “that could just be edited with special effects or even just dressed up people/” back at him

Never has Andrew hated him more

He also realizes that he went about it the wrong way

So....

Andrew drops the whole thing for two weeks while he plans

Fun fact about the idiot called Neil Josten: if u want to get through that thick skull of him you can’t rely on the facts

no no no

instead you have to rely on feelings and smarts and stories

It’s a saturday when he drags Neil Nicky and Kevin out of bed

Without telling them where they’re going other than making them bring some of the semi useful ghost hunting stuff they get in Andrew’s Maserati

See as it turns out there’s actually quite an active location with alien sightings a few hours from PSU

It’s in the middle of the woods

Nicky and Kevin complain the moment they arrive but a glare from Andrew shuts them up

For a little while at least

Neil is just walking around with a stupid smile on his face that makes Andrew’s hand twitch

fuck his junkie with his stupid opinions on what is real and what isn’t

So yeah they’re actually renting a cabin

Which Nicky is v excited about even though its shitty

and he has to share a room with Kevin who has been snoring enough lately for Neil and Andrew to kick him out

Andrew instructs them to set up the semi useful ghost hunting stuff

and for Nicky to record everything

There was a report about sightings the day before around the very cabin they’re in so Andrew comes as close to hope as he does

He’s still Andrew after all

That night it gets real

Andrew dragged them out of the cabin in the middle of the night

And now they’re walking around the woods

Nicky is recording everything and mindlessly chattering to the camera when he finally points it at Andrew and asks “So Andrew what are we actually doing here?”

“We’re alien hunting” Neil answers instead of him with a shit eating grin

The junkie has the nerve to actually go into detail on how Andrew tried to convince him to no avail that aliens are real

Neil sadly doesn’t actually go up in smoke from the glare Andrew sends him

it actually seems to make him more excited about the whole thing

"Why do you believe in aliens anyway?” Nicky asks Andrew then

and ohhhh its on

Time to bring out the big guns

“Story time” Andrew announces with about as much cheer as he can muster

Everyone is immediately focused on him

“Way back when I lived in the middle of fucktown nowhere - which was in a desert - I saw something”

It was at night

One of those nights where he was left to sleep on a porch by his shitty foster parents after staying out too late

as he was sitting on the porch he could see something move in the darkness

It was one of those super clear nights without any clouds at full moon

he could see.... something .... flashing from one rock to another in the distance

The movements unlike any he’d ever seen any animal on earth make

He followed whatever it was for a while with his eyes not daring to move

because while it was human shaped it was somehow... not human enough

legs too long

a tail

skull a little too big

it was fucking terrifying

Then when whatever it was reached a set of rocks three lights seemed to emerge from them

shooting up in the sky and buzzing around for a while until disappearing entirely

A rabbit shoots over the path in front of them and everyone except Andrew - including Neil let out a scream

“Ok I believe in aliens now lets go back I dont think I want to encounter that” Nicky wails

The others quickly agreeing

Of course nothing really happens

They go to sleep

There’s a rooftop window just above Neil and Andrew’s bed

and just as the junkie is snoring softly next to him Andrew sees a few lights flash above the window

Buzzing around just like that night

The second he reaches over to shake Neil awake they disappear

of fucking course

The next morning they get back into the Maserati

“Better luck next time” Neil says

Andrew doesn’t even dignify that with a response

two days later Nicky shoves his laptop up Andrew’s nose again

Check this out

It’s the video of the trip

It already has almost half a million hits

Andrew low key is pleased about this

Nicky called the episode: Unsolved hauntings: alien abduction

In the end it gets more views than any of their others combined

Neil and Andrew decide to make it a bet

Whoever proves the existence of their paranormal beings first either a - gets to dress the other for a month or b - gets to decide what the other eats for a month

and damn him to hell if Andrew would ever let Neil fucking Josten decide what he eats for a month

Those aliens better fucking show themselves

Warnings – Fluff, language, being conflicted between Steve and Bucky

A/N: It’s been a while. I’m sorry. I lost a lot of inspiration for a while and got caught up in Ben Barnes as Billy Russo. Infinity War trailer re-inspired me. It actually kind of fucked me up. So here’s this. And probably another part soon. And also a new story featuring these two truly.

Need a refresher? Read part 8

Bucky POV

He walked over to you, watching the way you tensed as you neared him. He understood. If anyone watched you now, they would think that with all the excitement happening to you, you were immune to it. Immune to the fact that you were going to get more than a slap on your hand for all the drama you had caused. Could even possibly have jail time or worse. You didn’t let it get to you though.

This morning he did what he always did. Went to the window and waited for you, making sure that you got in okay. It was an odd habit, and Sam once had teased him that it was borderline creepy, but he just wanted to make sure that you were safe. That was important for him. He had watched you step out of your car, your white blouse a stark contrast to the black button pants you wore that you had opted to wear with suspenders. Red lipstick adorned your face and with the black heels you worse, the whole ensemble felt like a modern version of a 40s pin up girl and it stirred something primitive in him.

Even from where he stood at his window, his hands scrunched up in his jean pockets, he couldn’t help the way you made him feel. Aroused. Proud. Happy. At peace. He wanted to push you against a wall all the while whispering how much he loved you – how he wanted to spend the rest of his life fighting beside you as he drove his cock in you. Wanted to bruise your neck with his kiss, mark you for the world to know that you belonged to him. Wanted you to rack your nails down his back while you whimpered out his name, biting at his shoulders begging him to make you cum. Wanted you to run your hands through his long hair, tussling it so bad that when you both re-emerged everyone would know that he belonged to you, that he was yours.

He was so in love with you and that realization and acceptance scared the shit out of him.

As he stood beside you now, your body tense as your brain went through all the outcomes of this international realization, how you blew your cover and now had a room of highly trained and powerful people aware that you were around to spy on them, he knew you were just as afraid. Not of the people in the tower – the people who held no power but somehow had some control over you. It was so bad, he was sure that Steve and him were an afterthought. It was the little things you did when you were anxious or nervous – you kept tapping your thumb nail against your cup, the ceramic container tinging against the light sounds of chatter coming from inside. Could hear the way your heart steadily beat, your breathing a rhythmic hitched sound as you shifted from one foot or another.

As a highly trained soldier, he knew this response. You felt caged, unable to find an exit. It was the worse feeling. It was how his mind had kept him since he had stopped being The Winter Soldier. Even though the Wakandians had cured his mind from betraying him, they couldn’t take away the nightmares. He hated that the most of himself.

“I don’t care about your secrets Y/N. I want to make sure you’re ok.” He places his metal arm hesitantly on your right shoulder and you look down at it before looking back up into his eyes. Your heartbeat instantly calms, your breath evens out and you shift to move closer to him, placing your head on the cool metal of his arm. He shifts, moving so he can wrap his arm gently around your waist as your head props on his left pec and you give a content sigh, closing your eyes.

Perhaps, in some odd, twisted way he helped calm you too.

“How are you healing up?” you ask and he shrugs, looking out to the forest scenery.

“Think I’ll survive another day doll. Steve does wallop a mean punch tho – kind of proud of him. Too bad he’s trying to steal my best girl from me.” He winks down at you and you laugh, wrapping your arm around his torso.

You give a content hum as he places a soft kiss on your forehead, letting the silence envelope you. If someone measured how much time the two of you spent not speaking, they’d wonder how the two of you became a pair to begin with. Wouldn’t know that when you’re a fighter, you’re constantly by yourself, in your thoughts. Thinking of exit strategies. Except when he was with you. When he was with you, he was home. Knew you were at home.

The price of peace was high except until you showed him that it was worth fighting for.

“Terry is going to kill me.” You finally say, breaking him from his thoughts as you free hand wraps around his torso, grabbing your mug of coffee to take a sip. He takes your cue, holding you captive in the caged hug and you rest your chin on his chest once you’re done finishing the cup.

“Terry….?”

“The silver haired fox who walked in with our secretary of defense who looks like a harmless old man but has the instincts of a lion. He was the one leading the MI-6 team, the CIA – FBI. Oh, and all the other heads who I can’t name but you know, basically the world’s top governments agencies. He’s my boss and he’s going to fucking kill me.”

He chuckles, watching the way your head curls back into his chest and he rests his chin on top of it, rubbing your back.

“I highly doubt that princess.” He whispers in low Romanian and you nip at him, your teeth grazing against his teal Henley. You hated it when he called you princess.

“I mean it Y/N,” he says more seriously. “You are damn good at your job. I mean, I don’t know exactly what your skill sets are outside of your amazing flexibility in bed…” another nick and he laughs, drawing you closer to him.

“I kid, I kid. Well sorta. Basically none of us expected you to be a sleeper agent and we are all designed to sniff this stuff out. Not even Wanda who can read minds. Don’t know how you managed that one.”

“God, I’m really going to have to up your movie game. Again!” You haven’t moved from his chest but he can feel the way you smile against him and gives a casual shrug. You always said that and it always led to hours being alone with you watching movies he could care less for. But it made you happy so he complied.

“My point is, you managed to do whatever it is you were doing here successfully. Except I’m guessing getting involved with Steve and I was not part of your end plan.”

You groan into his chest, before resting your chin back on him. He can tell by the way your eyes are looking at him your debating telling him the whole truth.

“Aww fuck it. I’ll tell you – probably will find out anyways. Obviously you weren’t part of the mission – you know the standard wine and dine. In fact I was told explicitly to make no connections with anyone. I tried really hard too but goddamn Bucky – you and Steve made it impossible. And Tony and Natasha. And Clint. And Wanda. Even Vision, Brue and Thor. And Sam…..

“Anyways, when I realized I was falling in deep, I let Terry know but he wouldn’t have it. Encouraged it actually. Said it was great to build trust. That was part of the gimmick. Ignored me when I suspected you had feelings for me. Oh yea Buck, I figured that out real quick. You were sooooo obvious.”

He can feel his face flush over in a coat of pink, the heat taking over his body and you place a soft kiss on his chest.

“It was endearing. It was cute. I liked it. I liked it because even though Emo Buck is around literally 99% of the time, you started smiling when you were around me. Started telling jokes. I remember the first time you laughed, it was like music to my ears. It eased me. I was worried about you. I liked that you started sharing more of yourself with me – your secrets. Your insecurities. All I wanted to do was tell you them back.”

“You told Steve.”

He doesn’t mean for it to slip but it does. It does because it hurts him. Always bit at his soul. You told Steve everything. Your eyebrows furrow together.

“Fucking Steve can’t keep a secret for shit!” he can’t help but laugh at that. That had always been true – Steve was way too open to hold other people’s secrets. He didn’t even mean it, just the way he was built.

“I told Steve because it’s easy to tell him those things. I trusted him too. But I knew if I told you…it’d be different. Because it wouldn’t be the scratched surface of who I am, what I was willing to share to build trust. It’d be the whole thing, including my current mission. And I couldn’t share my mission. And I couldn’t lie to you. So I didn’t say a word.”

That made sense. Made sense because he was fountain of information, typically about him, when he was around you.

“The point is, I told Terry as much and he brushed it aside as a kids crush. Told me ride with it. And then, at one point, I figured fuck it. I was just going to tell you how I felt. And then maybe I could balance this secret agent playing as an innocent secretary thing. Got too damn greedy. Probably why the whole Steve and I getting drunk thing happened. I was really nervous about telling you how I felt so I thought a drop of that damn devils blood of an ale would loosen me up. Not lead to me getting married.”

His lips quirk up in a smile. He knew you liked him. He knew it – could feel it. But he didn’t play with chance. Unless he voiced it, he wasn’t going to say a damn thing.

“So you were going to sleep with me that night?” he jokes and you groan, hiding your face in his chest.

“Get off it Buck.”

“Just tell me…” he pokes your side and you giggle, looking back up at him.

“No! Get off of it Winter Soldier.”

He lets up, placing a kiss on your forehead before murmuring,

“I already know...”

“I know you know.”

Silence. Then your saying quickly,

“Fine! I liked you. I was willing to sacrifice all of this, this secret agent business, so I could give this a chance. Figured I could monitor the Avengers and finally tell the man that I love how I was feeling about him. Figured that monitoring the progress of the group, gauging threat levels for our planet, measuring each person’s ability to protect us would go hand in hand with being able to love you back. Even if you were an ass about it. You know, using the jealousy card on all women doesn’t work.”

His eyes flit away from you, back to the scenery at hand.

“I’m sorry about that. That was rude and childish of me.”

“It was. But you know, I didn’t make it any better. I ended up falling for your best friend and marrying him.”

Oh.

You sigh as you push away from him a bit but he won’t let go. Not when he finally has you all to himself.

“I love you Bucky. I really do. And I didn’t feel that way about Steve when I married him either…I mean maybe like a physical attraction sure because Steve is just as much a looker as you. But it wasn’t until after….or maybe before…I don’t know. Something changed. Something changed and now I’m stuck loving two super soldiers. I’m telling you this because you deserve to hear it okay. You deserve to know. If we are really going to figure this out we gotta start being honest. This is my olive branch.”

You watch him, biting your lip anxiously and he swipes hair out of your face. Caresses your cheek. He couldn’t admit it hurt him to hear the words, knowing that you were just as much in love with Steve, his best friend – his brother – than with him. Could understand it. You may have once been broken like him, but you healed yourself like Steve. It made sense your compatibility with them both.

However, knowing something to be true didn’t take away from it hurting less.

“I know that,” he whispers. “Still sucks.”

You nod, your eyes welling with tears and he shakes his head, a gentle smile tugging onto his lips. It hurt but he still loved you. Appreciated you. Cared for you. Knew you felt the same. That was enough for now.

“I can’t convince you to stop loving Steve.” he places he places his hands on your face, cupping your soft flesh as he looks down at you. “I can tell you that I love you. That I hid behind the line of women because I didn’t think I could measure up to you. That I know what it’s like to have a tarnished past and to feel unable to move forward from it. Know that I am willing to wait for you, for 100 years or more if that is what it takes, because you deserve to choose what makes you happy.”

You didn’t cry. He knew that about you - knew that you had learned to check your emotions a long time ago. From the job and life, you led he was sure but now, standing in front of him you were a pool of tears. He was always the reason that made you cry and he hated himself for it.

“Bucky, I don’t deserve you. I’m literally putting you in the middle of a love triangle. You deserve someone better.”

He chuckles, shaking his head as he presses his forehead to yours.

“If the only lump in our relationship is having to deal with Steve, at least it’s a guy I respect.”

You laugh and nod, tears spilling out your eyes and he places a soft kiss on your eyelids.

“You’re strong and going to get past this.” he mumbles against your skin, referring back to the bigger issues that was pressing and you shake your head pulling away,

“I feel like I’m going to get shipped to Serbia. There’s a lot of mini Hydra bases they’d just love me to infiltrate and destroy.”

You give a small chuckle, trying to dispel the tension in the situation but he knows better.

“Even though Tony hates you right now, he also genuinely loves you and is invested in you. And you’re pretty badass and would be a great addition to the team. You took down two talented super soldiers. Pretty damn good resume builder if you ask me” you laugh as again as he pulls you into a hug.

“We are going to make sure to protect you. You’re going to be all right. And if not, I’ll go wherever they ship you off too.”

You shake your head, wrapping yourself around him and he gives a content sigh as you murmur,

“I hope you're right Mr. Barnes.”

He gives one last smile, bending down to push a kiss on your lips.

“You have to give yourself more credit doll. Steve, wouldn’t you agree she’s too hard on herself?” he turns to find Steve pressed against the door and you flush over, instinctively putting a bit of space between Bucky and yourself. You know it doesn’t matter but you feel obligated to diffuse where you can, even if it goes without care.

Bucky chuckles, infiltrating your space one last time to give you a slow and steady kiss before walking to the balcony doors, past Steve.

“She’s all yours,” he mumbles, moving past him and walking back into the house. Back to curious eyes who tried to hard to hide the fact that they had probably watched everything go down.

“That was a very kind thing you did for her.” Wanda says as he moves past the living room, the only person who hadn’t moved their attention from the television as Clint raises an eyebrow, looking up from his deck of cards he was playing with.

The sound of masculine shouts erupted from the space occasionally which he could only assume was their guests putting everyone on edge.

“I haven’t done anything yet?” Clint says and Natasha rolls her eyes as Vision quietly answers,

“She wasn’t talking about you Clint.”

“Thought you all were going to be a part of that mess upstairs.” Bucky says, stepping into the open kitchen and digging through the cabinets and Bruce takes off his glasses, cleaning them expertly. A nervous habit he picked up when he was concerned.

“They thought that would lend to too many voices,” he places his glasses on the bridge of his noise as he continues, “seems like your girlfriend has created a bigger mess than we could have anticipated.”

He doesn’t mean to slam the cabinet doors but he does and everyone turns to him.

“She’s Steve’s wife.”

Despite what he had told you, he still had to make peace with that fact. And he honestly didn’t want everyone else to ask him about it. Everyone in this place, like Steve, didn’t know how to keep a secret.

Maybe Natasha. Possibly Wanda. He would even venture Sam to a degree. But for him, that was it. Steve once – he was good at keeping the big things when asked but since he married you, he bled everything that was shared to you.

He had to pay for privacy.

“The way you were shmoozing her on the balcony would say otherwise. Got Steve really pissed off. It’s the moodiest I’ve ever seen him…” Sam drawls off as Bucky’s eyes burn into him and he raises his arms.

“What? They were watching too. It is GLASS doors that’s separating that space from this one.”

Bucky rolls his eyes as he leans against the counter.

“Not like it’s any of your business but I’m out of this fight. The rest is up to her.”

Muted silence. Finally,

“.... that should bode well.” Sam mutters underneath his breath, gaining another jab from Thor.

“What? Its true.” he winces, rubbing the tender spot and Thor shakes his head.

“The metal man is right - its none of our business.”

Bucky chuckles, crossing his arms across his chest despite his sour mood. How could one man with so much good intentions deliver such subtle insults.

“For the last time Thor I’m not a metal man. I just have a metal arm.”

“Same thing.” The large Asgardian shrugs.

Steve’s POV

Steve walked into the shared space of the avenger’s tower, desperately trying to ignore the swarm of agents that were moving in and out. Needing to find you.

He had woken up in sweats, barely sleeping on and off. When he had come into the infirmary three days back, Natasha was sitting next to him, a book in her hand as her feet propped on the foot of his bed. She had glanced up and smirked, shaking her head as she returned her eyes back to her book.

“How you doing sleeping beauty?”

His response is a groan, trying to sit up in bed.

“Wouldn’t do that. You and Barnes beat the shit out of each other.”

He groaned, trying to lift his head when a stabbing pain entered his skull. What the hell did Bucky do to him.

“Oh, that little gift was probably left over from your wife. She had a lot of feelings about you and Barnes beating the shit out of her apartment complex.”

Steve closed his eyes, remembering the way he had felt when you had opened the door. Your lips plump, hair askew it was how he liked you best. When you first woke up and didn’t try hard to make yourself even more beautiful than you were. Then things had clicked in place. You weren’t wearing his over large t-shirt. Your neck was bruised, but not from his love bites. He could smell him just as it clicked in his head.

Bucky.

He was so angry. So angry at you. At Bucky. You knew it. And yet he couldn’t be because he knew how much you both loved each other. Knew how torn you were. Tried to reason with that. But Bucky had also known how much he had loved you too. Rather he liked it or not, he was supposed to step down. That kind of disappointing anger had fueled him up, leaving him in a rage.

“Is she okay? We didn’t hurt her or anything?”

Natasha snorts, shaking her head.

“No, she pretty much got the drop on the both of you. Forgot how good and resourceful she is,” she stands up stretching and Steve sighs, closing his eyes.

“What should I do Natasha?”

Natasha considered him for a moment, watching him carefully before saying.

“I know she loves you Steve. She has told me as much. She really likes the idea of starting a life with you. But…. there’s just something about her and Bucky. I know you see this too. Know you can feel it when they are together. They fit, like this perfect little unit. She knows him – he knows her…. I don’t know Steve. I think you could show her a whole lot about happiness and love but I think Bucky can love her and understand her despite her flaws in ways you never can. Not because you’re not right for her but because they’re just one in the same. But hell, what do I know.” She walks over to him and places a soft kiss on her forehead.

“Eventually, you all are going to have to sit down and sort this out. And whatever she decides, whether it’s you, Bucky or no one, you both need to respect that. I’m not saying she’s an innocent angel in all of this but I do know she’s really tried to disengage with both of you. She’d rather be miserable alone than ruin a good friendship.”

Steve knew this. You were selfless in all the ways you were being selfish. He was being selfish. Bucky was being selfish. Natasha was right. The three of you had to sit down and talk this out. No more whispering behind walls and using sex to manipulate you.

He had a plan.

And then he had woken up and found a note on the side of his table.

Steve,

I’m not worth any of this. I’ll be reassigned today and you won’t have to deal with me or Bucky or any of this anymore. You deserve happiness. You deserve someone who can love you and be true to you like you deserve. And that someone is not me.

I love you. I really do. But I just can’t hurt you anymore

Love,

Y/N

Your wedding ring had been on top of the letter and he had jumped into action. You couldn’t leave. Couldn’t say goodbye and decide without him having input in it. So he dressed and started his trek to find you but you were like a ghost. You knew how to be seen only when you needed to be found.

When he turns the corner of the living room, he feels the shift. See’s the way everyone watches him cautiously, their eyes flicking from the balcony back to him. You were here. And you probably weren’t alone.

“Where are they?” he sighs, trying to check his anger. Probably doing a crappy job of it.

Silence.

“They’re on the balcony, right?”

More silence.

He starts toward the door but Bruce is getting up, nervously flicking his eyes from Steve to outside.

“Maybe you shouldn’t do this now. Haven’t you caused enough damage.”

Steve sighs, placing a shaky hand on his shoulder.

“Not here to fight Banner. I just need to talk to them. Desperately.”

Bruce looks over to Natasha who gives a slight nod and sighs,

“If you say so.”

“I know so.” He says confidently, walking to the door and whipping it open. Trying not to let the pain that’s crusting his heart encase him. He had seen you give hugs to most men in the tower. His colleagues were all attractive people, men and woman alike and he was more than happy to see when you broke down your walls to share a little bit of affection.

But when he saw you with Bucky – something else tore through him. A rage of jealousy and pain. Probably because like Natasha said, you both just fit together. Even standing there, your face tear stained as Bucky held you, lips pressed to your forehead, his left arm softly placed on your hip as his right arm drew you in, there was something beautiful about the two of you together. You were a handsome couple together. Moved almost symbiotically. If you fidgeted, Bucky was sure to respond the same seconds later and vice versa. When you had fought them days ago, he had stopped to watch you move with Bucky because it was like a perfectly choreographed dance. You could anticipate each other. When you guys walked down the halls together, your bodies barely touching, Bucky’s face relaxed and happy, a permanent smile on your lips, it made him want that. It was like a couple in the movies that you wanted to emulate in real life. Wanted to steal from in order to obtain that bit of happiness.

You were both made for each other and he had barreled into that, breaking what had lived. And now, because of that simple mistake, he was on the verge of losing both of you.

“Mind if we talk?” Steve asks once Bucky’s moved past him and you nod, turning your back to him.

He stands there, watching you. The way the wind whips against your body, the relaxed way your shoulders sit as you play with the coffee mug in your hand. You smelled like Bucky and yet there was still the faint smell of you – a faint mixture of flora, vanilla and musk wrapped in one. In so many ways you were beautiful, strong and confident. So much different from Sharon, from Wanda or even Natasha.

And he loved you just as much as Bucky did.

“Steve, you don’t have to stand there. You could join me over here.” Your voice cuts through his thoughts as you look back at him, a genial smile on your face as your eyes rake at him and he knows what he has to do. He should make this decision for you. You deserved to be happy. He knew your history. Knew of the people who abused you as a child. Forced you to become something you didn’t want to become. How your parents had chosen money over your livelihood. Why you had hardened your heart and become a killer. What it felt like to realize that killing wasn’t going to solve the problems in the world and why you choose to leave that life.

He knew it because you would tell him when life was too down on him and he felt like he could speak to no one else about it. Not even Bucky, Sam or even Sharon. He couldn’t let his friends carry the weight of his problems. Except when he spoke to you it didn’t feel like a weight, but a cloud taking the stress away. When you told him that you knew exactly what it felt like to wake up and realize you had become something else by man’s hand, how people tried to manipulate your humanity – that was when he fell in love. It had challenged something in him that no matter how many things he tried to fill in his heart, he would always be alone.

When he was with you he didn’t feel alone. He felt whole. Felt complete. Felt like he could continue his mission to help others who may not have the capacity to help themselves.

You gave him that. He wanted you all for himself because that was the gift you gave him. If losing you would mean that he had to lose that feeling then he was willing to sacrifice it. You deserved happiness. Bucky deserved happiness, even if he still wanted to punch him in his face.

You both were made for each other. He’s confident in that.

Except, when he nears you, that feeling of confidence dissipates. He stands near you and you automatically move closer to him, your arms brushing as you stand in silence. He had watched you and Bucky sit for hours in silence, typically Bucky’s head in your lap as you work steadily on your laptop on the couch, not saying a word and yet somehow knowing exactly what was going on each other’s head. It fascinated him, mainly because when he was with you in silence he was uneasy. Unsure. Felt like the scrawny 17-year-old kid in Brooklyn who couldn’t fight for himself but always had to because it was the right thing to do. So, he filled the silence up with stories or talking through missions or his insecurities and you would listen, that same soft smile on your face as you operated around him.

But it wasn’t like you and Bucky.

“When you get lost in your head Steve,” You nudge his shoulder, your warmth wrapping up in his own and he can’t help the ease that comes with it, “You tend to get yourself in trouble. What’s going on in there?”

Your voice is gentle, has a playful tone but he can sense the worry behind it.

“I don’t think we should be married anymore.”

You tense up but your head doesn’t shift. You just watch him, your eyes bearing into his own.

“Is that what you want?”

“Isn’t it what you want?”

You sigh, heavy and long as you turn back to the trees.

“Steve, I don’t know what I want anymore. I love you, I really do. I love this feeling when I’m around you. I like the calm, like that you can be open and engaged and for once not carry the world on your shoulders when we hang out….” Your quirk your head to the side, debating your next words.

“But….Bucky….he’s……he’s just….I just feel….”

You’re at a loss of words and for once he knows how to fill it in,

“You feel like your whole when you’re with him.”

You turn back to him and nod. He tries to fight the tears threatening to pour out.

“I know. You always have been.”

“But Steve, I like being married to you. I know, I know it hasn’t seemed like it but I was happy when I woke up next you. Well…..I was confused and in pain,” he chuckles a bit at that. “But I was happy. I liked that you would get up earlier just so you could run with me in the morning, loved that you took the time to make me meals, loved that you learned how to use a scanner for me.” You laugh and shake your head and he can’t help but join in.

“I liked all of that because it made me feel a certain way. You make me feel a certain way. You give me hope, you remind me that you can be broke and still be okay. And that’s why I don’t know what to do Steve, because that was the feeling only Bucky had pulled out of me. I feel vulnerable, exposed. I feel like we woke up in Vegas and there’s this huge ripple effect that just keeps going and I want it to end for our sanity. We can’t keep doing this.”

The tears are coming back. He has never seen you so emotional about anything, trained to tame that emotion and his heart breaks. Because if he had just pushed you away that night three weeks ago, pushed you into the arms of Bucky, this would be a different story. You’d probably still be snuggled in bed with Bucky, both of you in happy bliss, finally saying everything what the world knew.

Three weeks ago, Bucky had finally caved in and admitted to him and Sam how he felt. Even after getting drunk on Asgardian ale, he denied his feelings. But something happened three weeks ago and he wanted the world to – the world being Sam and Steve. Steve figured he couldn’t help it - had never seen Bucky so in love. He knew Bucky tried to wipe it away by sleeping with women, trying to paint your relationship black so you would hate him and go to Steve. Knew that he didn’t think he was good enough for you, that he would somehow tarnish you... But every time he tried that, he always ended back at square one.

Utterly in love with you.

Despite being wrapped up in your spell, despite the heavy feeling in his heart, Steve knows that he’ll find love again. It may not be as strong as it is with you, may not be as pure and natural. But it will come for him. He’s not sure if Bucky will ever find someone who will love him as much as you do. Not because he couldn’t. He could find someone yesterday.

Because he knew, like you both knew, that you were Bucky’s soulmate.

“Let’s go through with the divorce. Then you can….Bucky and you….”

Your eyes furrow together and you place your hand over his own and it’s like electricity is zapped through it.

Why does love hurt so much?

“You don’t want a divorce Steve.”

“I want my wife to be happy. I want to be able to talk to my best friend again. If this is the price then so be it.”

You watch him carefully for a minute, before you lean in and kiss him. And then he’s gone. Kissing you was like feeling at home again. Reminded him of laying out in the sun, or cuddling next to someone you love. Peaceful and right.

He can’t help but to deepen it, his hands getting caught in your hair as his tongue and teeth clash with yours and you moan, pulling away minutes later, resting your head on his forehead in shallow breaths.

“You’re so dangerous to love Steve. Dangerous because you’re also so right for me in all the wrong ways.”

You push off of the railing, placing a hand on his shoulder.

“Let me think about a divorce okay. Give me a week.”

And then you’re gone, leaving him with the more questions then he came with.

Hi here's a long list of my excitement for tdc

Heavy spoilers for the trailer and the book!

-Dude seeing that train stunt and remembering Dylan getting hurt is so stressful Dx like did they make him redo the stunt when he got better or movie magic?

-also hot damn they are NOT CONCERNED about having their protagonist kill people my dude

-what's on that guy's chest? The leader dude? It looks almost like a runner vest but with more technology?

-Is the arm with sick veins Minho??? Poor Minho.

-eyyyy Denver

-"three years we spent behind walls trying to break out" the fight! BEN! "Now we're trying to break in" the gun cocking is so great bc it shows their improvement, in a way. Yeah, it used to be angry, screaming teenage boys with sticks, desperate to survive another hour. Now they're organized, skilled, calm--/dangerous/.

-Once more, poor Minho.

-This conversation with Thomas and Teresa. I can't help but wonder if it's taking place during the climax. If this is some intense, tight moment with the action momentarily suspended for them to talk. Or, if this is something earlier in the film. If they leave the WCKD HQ after the Minho rescue mission, then return for the final fight

-I'm more inclined to the second idea, bc immediately after Teresa says "I did what I thought was right" we see Thomas (I think) slink away w his hood up. It implies him leaving the meeting secretly, and less likely to lead into climax level action. It also fits better with Newt's later line about him still caring about her--Thomas would feel that way more once he'd heard her reasoning, than when the betrayal was still fresh. Him looking over his shoulder back at her also speaks to that.

-All of them in riot gear with Teresa in the background watching? She's definitely switching sides again per book

-The shocky boxes! Yay!

-Poor Minho x3 Combo.

-Newt getting aggressive... that don't bode well

-Ratface punches Thomas. Thomas punches back. Immediately a guy flying away from an explosion. That's some good shit.

-I'm also super happy Carlos gets to fly his baby. He looks so happy!

-WHY ARE THEY JUMPING OUT A WINDOW MANY STORIES UP WHAT THE FUCK

-it's gonna be a damn cool scene tho. probably from the Minho rescue

-Burning building... I mean at least on the roof there's no cement to fall on Teresa's head lol

-The parallel between Thomas on his side staring at Teresa on the roof, dying, unable to help and Thomas on his side, staring at The Glade from afar just after seeing Chuck dying, unable to help? Bravo, Wes Ball

-BUT FUCK YOU

there was no real point to this post i've just got A LOT OF EMOTIONS AND ENERGY RIGHT NOW AHHHH THE HYPE!!!!

Bonus:

-Dude Thomas Sangster thank you so much, just from the auditory it seems like Page 250 is gonna come to life beautifully. Dylan, your crying face... thank u.

EDIT: HOW THE FUCK COULD FORGET ABOUT GALLY?!?!?!

movies i like

so @beautifulramblingbrains tagged me in this thing saying ‘what are your 6 favorite films?’ and i love movies so i got carried away and made this list of a lot more than six films...

Cus I cant do shit halfway when it comes to moves, i took some time thinking abt this and ending up choosing my fave 6 genres/tropes and the choosing the best movie that it applies to, with honorable mentions. ***this list is NOT an exclusive list of my favorite films, i eventually cut myself off because i kept adding titles... there are hundreds more i’d mention if i had time, but this is what i wrote down*** (I have lots of very personal opinions about all the films i listed, both favorites and honorable mentions, if you want to know more about any of them please ask)

(all of the film titles link to a trailer of the film, if available. A few of these films can be watched in full for free, those links have been include as an ‘x’ after the title)

THIS IS IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER, IT’S MORE STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS

1. BOTTLE STORIES. Fuck, if i dont love sticking a bunch of characters in a room together, or a short window of time, and seeing what happens. Honorable mentions: Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist, Key Largo, Green Room, 12 Angry Men, Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb and The Man From Earth. Favorite choice: MURDER PARTY!! What happens when a guy responds to a Halloween invitation to a murder party? Well, mostly it’s a bunch of pretentious artist doing drugs and debating how to kill him. I dont know what I love more about the film, the subtle dialog and perfect build up of plot, or the fact that i actually know people like the stuck up artist in it. I just think this was deffo written by someone who went to art school

2. WHERE DOES REALITY STOP AND THE DREAM BEGINS? Come on, i mean, seriously how can you really know when it’s not a dream? Honorable mentions: Perfect Blue, Jakob’s Ladder1, Brazil1, Dark City, Waking Life, Science of Sleep, Alice, and La Jetee. Favorite choice: PAPRIKA!! Shatoshi Kon made so, SO many amazing films in his life and this is one of the best, imo. If you like Inception, know that it was directly influenced by Paprika. And Inception is like a boiled down version; it makes more sense and is less fantastic. Real facts though, i have watched Paprika over a dozen times, and still when i go back to watch it now i notice details i missed before that are subtle but pertain to the over-all ideas and story. Also the soundtrack is fuckin sick.

3. BLACK AND WHITE THRILLERS! Like yeah, self explanatory, and I could go on about The Third Man or M, but what i really love is stories that make you grip the edge of your seat when you weren’t expecting to. Honorable Mentions: Arsenic and Old Lace, The Virgin Spring x, All About Eve1, Cabinet of Dr. Caligari x, Metropolis x, The Bad Seed and Sunset Boulevard (i want to say Chinatown2 tho i know that was shot in color but to look like noir b&w). Favorite choice: EYES WITHOUT A FACE!! x I have a soft spot for french horror, but what makes this film stand out is the way they danced around taboo subjects like gore, animal abuse, and mad scientists to avoid censors and get a wide release in Europe, while still having those be major subjects in the film.

4. CRAZY SLOW PACED AND BASED IN CONVERSATION! Ok i worried for a moment that this was too similar to the first, but no it’s different. Like man, if the dialogs good, then i'm fucking dooownn, and these are more about the conversation than anything else. Also this is my list so i can do what i want. Honorable Mentions: Royal Tenenbaums, Stagecoach1x, Yojimbo, Fire, Coco and Igor, and Days of Heaven. Favorite choice: STALKER!! x Like hell yeah, i'm so here for a soviet film abt people debating what they’d wish for while hiking to the wishing well. Also i think this film used the b&w to color transition better than Wizard of Oz because you barely even notice the change, like they hypnotize you first then make the switch.

5. ANIMATION! I fuckin love animation. I’ve always prefered cartoons. If you didn't know this, then idk if you know me. Honorable Mentions: Secret of Kells, Triplets of Belleville, Spirited Away, Mind Game, World of Tomorrow, Belladonna of Sadness, Millennium Actress, My Life as a Zuccini, The Hedgehog in the Fog x, The Cat in Paris. Favorite choice: THE THIEF AND THE COBBLER!! (the recobbled cut, specifically) After the production hell this flick went through, it needs all the love it can get. Started in the late 70s, it wasn't released until 1993, and was quickly overshadowed by Aladdin (which is probably directly influenced by the Thief and the Cobbler, but Disney’s not gunna say that). After 30s years of bouncing between animation studios only to get this slap-dash finishing to push it out on VHS, which the final final scenes not only feels disjointed from the story, but the scenes have an fps (frames per second) rate that’s half of the original animation so you can literally see the images slow down in some scenes. The recobbled cut is the best because even though it has a few unfinished scenes (some of which are still just animatics) it is the closest we may ever get to the original, intended version of the film. It’s still trippy as fuck though, and it doesn't have the god awful internal monologue for the thief.

6. MOVIES I FIRST SAW WHEN I WAS YOUNG AND IMPRESSIONABLE AND ABSOLUTELY ADORE! So these are movies which i saw when i was young BUT would be happy to watch again and have lots of opinions about (so this rules out Requiem for a Dream and Risky Business, both i saw too young and i'm cool with only having ever seen them once) Honorable Mentions: Spirited Away, Muppet Treasure Island, Young Frankenstein, Nightmare Before Christmas, Monsoon Wedding,The Dreamers, Airplane! and Fight Club. Favorite choice: DUCK SOUP!! Omg, i dont know if i can adequately express how much i fucking love the Marx bros. I own most of their films and when I was little, i used to just watch them endlessly (and I will still do so while drunk if no one stops me) I know all the jokes and songs even tho i learned half of them before I was old enough to get the jokes.

7. *Bonus round* TRIPPY AF MOVIES!! Like flicks i walked out of thinking ‘the fuck did i just watch??’ Honorable mentions: 2001: A Space Odyssey, Enter the Void, Videodrome, Holy Mountain, Meshes of the Afternoon x. Favorite choice: DOG STAR MAN!! x Sometimes, you need to just lay back and watch undulating colors in silence for a few hours.

Like, i just want to say, that while editing this list i thought of like ten films I couldn't shoehorn into any of these categories, and was very upset i couldn't find a way to mention them, so if you like this and want me to make another movie list, PLEASE SAY SO!!

1 I have included the link to the trailer, but the trailer is shit. The movie is much better.

2 while this film is only brought up saying that it doesn't fit on the list, i do really love the film, but i feel like i should mention that both the director, Roman Polanski and main actor, Jack Nicholson have been directly accused of sexual assault/statutory rape/domestic assault. I, personally, have a cognitive dissonance with this film because I saw it before I learned about both of them and their actions. But as much as I enjoy the story and movie, i cannot in good faith, bring up the film without mentioning this.

#pucks picks #films i like #i really fucking love films #i took a lot of time writing this #maybe too much time #no i do not have a life #im gunna go watch a movie now #if you ever want a film recommendation hmu

Eden-6!!

I am. so fucking tired. but I’m also late asf for Eden-6 stuff to the point it got its video release, so here I am playing catch up.

tl;dr: swamp planet!! we get some cool shots of Alitair and Aurelia, i, surprise surprise, still do not trust mr. wainwright, i tried to form an argument that these ruins we see across the planet are abandoned Atlas facilities/ships, but ~who knows~. also i would (and probably will) die for the saurians. i love them so much. one of them has a funky bone hat. it’s great. also also “stop the CoV before they gain control” [looks at trailers and behind closed doors intro] ... uh oh gamers...

“A backwater swampland of a planet, and family home of the Jakobs clan. Eden-6 is covered by lush greenery and stagnant waters, dotted with occasional settlements and the rusted hulks of crashed spaceships. Civilization has never fully taken hold here, and indigenous dangers including ravenous Saurians and semi-sentient Jabbers effectively rule the planet. As if you didn't already have enough to worry about, the Children of the Vault have a presence here as well.”

im excited for the abandoned spaceships, those things look fucking bad. ass.

Ambermire I am guessing is one of the more swampy areas? Jakob’s Manor is obvious, and Fort Sunshine I’m guessing is that abandoned facility we’ve been seeing around the trailers. unfortunately we don’t get too good of a look at the fortress (shakes fist at gearbox) but we do get some other stuff!

im gonna go over the instagram video first because the pics are a treat so we’re saving them for last.

sorry for the progress bars btw lol

i fucking love that gas giant. so much.

swamps are one of my least favorite biomes, but i know gearbox is going to make me love it.

also a look at one of the crashed ships! (i assume) looks like Atlas to me. Or old Hyperion, but tbh idk why Hyperion would be on Eden-6. so Atlas it is.

a look at one of the settlements. i really love the contrast between this planet and Promethea and Athenas.

those gross pod things on the right? idk if they’re egg sacs or plants or what but i both hate them and love them. also whatever that is glowing on the bottom left. i wanna touchy

Jakobs manor!! honestly a lot less extravagant in the front than i was expecting. also now we know this one shot

is definitely not in front of Jakobs Manor. could be the back entrance or smth tho. looks like it leads into a garden-y area.

my question is, is it a Jakobs thing to enjoy hunting? because it seems like it’s a Jakobs thing to enjoy hunting. also i don’t trust Jakobs. I know I’ve said that, like, a bajillion times, but i don’t. and those metal cowboy-lookin’ robots are totally theirs.

im just surprised the Hammerlocks are living in the Manor. I assumed they were like... visiting. now im pretty convinced mr. wainwright down here is evil because only Alistair is on Sanc-III and we’re all assuming that the Sanc-III demo (not the more recent one) takes place after Athenas, right?

and OMG YES lilith’s tattoos aren’t visible in the newest video on sanc-iii!! im hoping that means she gets her powers back!! im giddy to look over it 30 times i cannot wait. but one post at a time.

evil. evil man.

he either dies or he’s evil i don’t trust him and hammerlocks eye shouldn’t be red in the We Are Mayhem trailer i just... im so suspicious of this man.

AURELIA i love her so much. she was great in TPS, one of my mains. her new outfit is popping, i love the boots.

also she has 2 ice diadem shards now and im terrified yet oddly happy for her.

ALISTAIR. i legitimately thought he was on Promethea at first, then i realized this is probably part of the abandoned facility/fortress. shame we don’t get a closer look at it.

also look who’s eye is back to being not-red again!

also the writing on the back there makes me even more convinced this is Atlas facility. on Promethea, the parts of the Meridian city are labeled with these unique symbols (so far i’ve seen blue and red) and this red one looks like it fits the mark perfectly.

these look like the same canisters from the mine on Pandora. whatcha pumpin eden-6?

more red plants. i like how different this can look from athenas, yet still have very similar foliage. outstanding move, gearbox.

is that another crashed ship in the background??? yes pls. also this dude’s face paint is giving me huge Mask of Mayhem vibes, I love it.

the inside of Jakobs Manor

i hate to tell you this mr. gearbox sir but im pretty sure they do

yeesh.

also that one scene of troy in the manor as well

dis one

is that the globe in the background? anyone know? im trying to remember where the fuck ive seen that shot of the library/globe. hmmmmmmmmmm

it is not the globe whump whump. i am excited to explore this library tho.

what looks like fishing net on the right? wild

also car!!

no wings/fins like in the Mask of Mayhem trailer tho, that sucks.

i like this dude. especially his face paint.

i like this glowing crystals even more tho

purple crystals that mimic troy’s red ones? me likey.

eridium? maybe! slag to chug when u need more power? maybe! i don’t know!

j̷̧̭͙̹̭̀̽͆̕͘u̸̦͌̃͛̕̕s̴̡̰͙̣͊̂̔t̴͇̪͐ͅ ̸̭̐́w̵̧̯̲͊̀̃̄̕a̵̢͓̎́̏̓t̷̪̓̑̎͜c̶̢̢͔̀h̴̥̬̪̫̫̿ ̶̪̬̞̼͐̾̉͐̒ơ̵̼̋̍̓̕u̵̻̪̞̞̺̐̾̀̚͠t̶͉̠̟͉̪̋̈̿ ̶̢̗̗͑f̵̰̫͇̈̾ọ̴͑r̶̢͕̺͈͎̃̌͘ ̸̩͆̏̅a̸͈̙̪̋̏ǹ̷̮͚͍̽͜ģ̵̠̀̍̋̔r̴̪̦̾̇̕͠y̷̘͖̜̿͑̅̀ͅ ̷̬̱͉̗͌̇j̵̹͇̽͗̕ā̸̳͇͈̠̺b̴̰̏͜b̴̘͗̔e̷͖̓͊r̸͍̫̻̊͆̊s̸̛̙̳͔̗̋̓͝

also check that glowy light in the background. totally Atlas.

also also i like they have little hanging nest/house things. those are really cute.

this motherfucker is coming at us with a sledgehammer ffs

i like their tiger stripe designs. they blend in with the leaves, which i guess is an evolutionary advantage all things considered.

I LOVE THESE FUNKY LITTLE MOTHERFUCKERS

LOOK AT THIS DUDE!!! HE’S GOT A BONE HAT! I LOVE HIM!!!

AND THEY FUCKING BREATHE FIRE??

GLOWING YELLOW EYES!!!

A SPLIT JAW! WHO DOESN’T LOVE THESE LITTLE DUDES???

i fucking love Saurians holy shit

okay okay okay okay

picture time 😎

i love the skybox on Eden-6, holy shit it’s beautiful. also, those sacs/plants/fungi or whatever are definitely volatile.

look at that one glowing red one. that’s totally going to deal some fuckin fire damage to whatever touches it and i for one am ready

also.

can we get an F in chat for Eden-6? lmao i remember being like ‘oh look a gas giant’ in my analysis of every museum of mayhem piece and COMPLETELY FORGETTING that eden-6 has a gas giant directly beside it. big brain fart there.

holy shit i love the color schemes for these things. i know there are blue ones as well, but these orange/yellow/red ones are FANTASTIC. i especially love the shiny yellow ones. they’re so pretty!!

we also get a mostly obscured window in the back there

possibly part of the abandoned facility? but more than likely just part of a crashed ship.

like (im assuming) this one!

the doors match up to Sanctuary-III quite well. also the bones on the ground. i love the regrowth aesthetic they’ve got going on here.

also apparently ratches have made their home here. these things are fuckin everywhere. they’re like the new rakk holy shit

MY BEAUTIFUL BOYS

look at the one on the bottom right! those blue markings are fuckin stunning and i love the little fins on the sides of his head

and that giant skeleton in the background? that’s some good shit right there! im hoping those are fireflies/some sort of glowing insect around the front there. so we can have pockets of glowing orbs dancing around the map as we explore.

oooo

i really like the hulls of the ships, the one on the far left and the one in the back right.

im mostly interested in this tree. i wonder if it just regrew around some debris or if this is making the stuff on this planet grow wildly out of control. I’m always down for science gone wrong! and with atlas, pretty much anything could go horribly wrong. that’s just their way of doing things.

anyway it is 4 in the am and i am tired, so im gonna pass tf out now and hopefully do Fl4k’s trailer, and a few other posts i gotta catch up on, tomorrow! so hyped for fl4k info!!

#borderlands #bl3 #borderlands 3 #eden-6 #i am so fucking tired holy shit lol #can't wait for fl4k tho #im so ready

Persona 3/5D analysis and theories

So my main idea is that P3/5D will be retellings of their respective games but through dance. There might be shenanigans that explain this or maybe the teasers we got were there to throw us off. But anyway let’s look at the trailer and see if anything supports this (and to see what else we’ll find). Because I found some evidence possibly pointing at a different plot with P3. So...I guess we’ll start with P3:

So first off we notice that Junpei and Yukari look exactly the same as they did in P3 as opposed to Ultimax, also the MC is alive....so...it makes sense for the game to take place during P3 cause of this info. But maybe there’s something more.

So we have this shot

This is probably from the P3D opening, and what I found interesting is how the MC changes clothes via some weird....cyber/digital glitch thing. But that’s not the only time it shows up:

We see strange particles in the corners of this frame. It looks like a digital map. I feel like this will play a part as to why the MC is there, why everyone looks the same. Maybe it’s something like being trapped in a virtual reality world like Danganronpa 2 or The Caligula Effect (or Digimon, already stealing from Pokemon, let’s throw Digimon in there too). But like...what if it’s just like DR2 and Caligula where this place, the MC, are all generated from their memories? Only shenanigan I can come up with that makes sense besides just a plain old retelling.

Also there’s this frame:

His an a close up shot show that the city and MC are surrounded by water (what did Shido’s boat pass by? 8U). From what I’ve seen how this is represented in media, this is usually to showcase someone dreaming (and/or a form of struggle, tho the MC seems calm so let’s assume a dream). This would couple well with the “everyone is trapped in a digital world” theory, as it’s sort of a form of dreaming (just think Matrix if you need more explaining).

Edit/Bonus: The lyrics for the P3 Music has the word: “I hope I’m not Dreaming” (roughly what she says, little hard to understand there), and “Remember the times” and that kinda reinforces the dream and retelling/recalling points.

So yeah P3 is either a retelling of P3 but with dance, or a matrix/trapped in a digital world scenario (that might also use this as a chance to retell P3)....wait this would mean P3MC is Chiaki and/or Neo wouldn’t it? Persona crossover with DR and the Matrix when? 8U

Now for P5....this one is more straightforward since we have less to work with. I do think this is more of a retelling of P5 but through dance (at least with the info we have so far). For one.....

Kamoshida’s dungeon is still intact. Now this could be a fake out, maybe there’s more to the plot and the teaser shows none of that. But this is the biggest evidence of....anything shenanigans or not.... So that’s all to it. But might as well point some other stuff out I thought was cool:

This is probably from the opening, but the shot reminds me of when he jumps off the overpass in the P5 Opening and when he jumps through the Casino window.

And:

It says “The Bandits” I doubt that’ll play into the game but it was interesting, also the picture resembles this promo concert pic a lot imo:

OH MY GOD YOU'VE BEEN HERE SINCE 2014 TELL ME MORE how has the fandom changed?? .. except for the size and awards and stuff LIKE WHAT ARE THE BIGGEST GRADUAL CHANGES YOU'VE NOTICED .. and maybe like share some anecdotes about how the fandom was before?? I've heard jin/v was the most popular ship back then?? I LOVE THIS KIND OF STUFF PLEASE SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCES

Hey there anon! True Fact I started this tumblr in spring of 2014 and that’s about when I got into BTS. I had been circling the kpop drain for a while and was starting to reblog more and more kpop on a personal blog I had…you know how the story goes…heh. Anyways, my real-life friend and co-worker @eternalsquee and I made our blogs together at the same time. She’s also the one who got me into BTS (sending me photos over our work chat - SERIOUS BUSINESS)

Like I’ve said, BTS is my first (and really only) fandom, so everything was just so - overwhelming and NEW when I first really started to get into BTS, I just - I don’t know i have nothing else to compare it to, and I have an awful memory, so this might be dissapointing! But I will try to talk about some things I can remember.

First off, I can remember watching American Hustle Life unsubbed (because subs back then still took like 2 - 3 days to do heh) and just - falling in love with the boys. Sure, there were a ton of cringey moments, and the complaints against that show are totally valid, but it was also a really awesome intro to the boys. And there were these beautiful moments, and BTS were just - not like any group I had ever seen ever. There was just something so refreshing about THEM.

Dark & Wild was the first comeback, and by then Esquee and I were in full fucking frenzy. It being my first comeback ever, I was totally unprepared for the photo releases, the constant buildup - and then the day the ‘What Am I To You’ comeback trailer was released was just - electric. I still get chills when I hear that opening chime of the clock…ahhh.

youtube

And then they unleashed DANGER on us and Jin’s ARMS and HHHHh the DANCE and ALL OF IT and my entire world exploded and the rest is history.

The fandom - I don’t know I guess it was smaller? It has really seemed - to stay the same just grow in the years since 2014. The variety of people have grown, but even in the beginning I remember being amazed at the different people doing different things all around the world that I was meeting through being totally head over heels for this group. It really was a community, and it remains a community to this day, and even though It’s getting bigger literally by the second, the foundation is there - through the years - and I think just like BTS that keeps the fandom grounded in that family feeling. And that’s a beautiful thing.

It’s also been a beautiful thing to see the guys in BTS grow. Kookie was still such a smol shy bunnybean back in 2014, still coming out of his shell a bit, still so very very young. Jin hadn’t let his flag completely fly yet either, although I remember shitting myself every time a new recipe blog came out - ahhh. They were all just less sure of themselves, a bit more self-conscious - just - they have also seemed to get more comfortable with us as well as with performing and - I don’t know. They’ve just grown up, beautifully - and come together as a team so wonderfully and that - man. That feeling that they are bound together has just grown more and more as the years have gone on and - my heart.… .

When TRB came about in 2015 Esquee and I knew we had to try to go - that was both of our first Kpop concerts and also Esquee’s first plane trip! Going to Chicago and knowing we were in the same city as BTS was just - electrifying. We got a hotel that was right near the Roosevelt Theater - knowing that they were there sound checking while we were so CLOSE was just !!!!! There were fireworks that night for some baseball game but they were literally right by the window of our hotel and it seemed like the whole city was celebrating with us!

The concert - was just - first off the theater was SO SMALL compared to the wings venue holy god, so SMALL thinking back - we were SO CLOSE. Even being around 5000 other army’s (was that the venue’s capacity) was AMAZING - I didn’t know very many people I wish I had gotten to meet that were there - but just - it was SO LOUD and we were right in the aisle between the first section and second and when the show started people just rushed forward it was - and I had a sign that said Jin was handsome and I waved it the whole show along with my bomb and screamed for him so loud I lost my voice and I’m pretty sure he saw my sign (my friend Nacs who was there with us said he did). BUt LORD - the concert - I just - I can still remember it like it was a dream, just like the Wings concert it didn’t seem real - but we got to see them do I Need U and Dope and Danger and Miss RIght and just - so many amazing songs. They didn’t even have merch

About shipping, I’ve pretty much ALWAYS shipped Jin mostly with Yoongi, and let me tell you what, Yoonjin fics were rare rare rare and super rare. YoonMin was a huge thing and NamJin and VHope was bigger back then too. Or just seemed bigger? Because less people were writing? YoonSeok was still also remarkably rare back then, although less rare than Yoonjin, and … yeah…it was a bit different, but maybe just because less people were writing in general? I don’t know.

As far as here on Tumblr, there were less BTS blogs (of course) especially less Jin focused blogs? There are so many more now which !!!!! makes me so happy. ONe thing tho, there were ALWAYS Jin blogs on here. Even before I was on here, there were people shitting themselves over Jin and I just joined in SO!! Every time somebody talks about how Jin has been ignored and neglected by fans it makes me really really sad because some of us have been on here loving Jin all day every day for Y E A R S and YEARS, and maybe we’re not the biggest blogs but we’re SOMETHING. Jin has always had love on here, and it makes me so happy to see that increasing.

I guess, finally, the biggest change in all of this is in the boys themselves. They are really growing up, really hitting their stride, and it just makes me so excited for them and feel so warm and happy as a fan - compared to 2014 they have come so far and done so much. That feeling I had when HYYH 1 came out with I Need U - BTS changed the game in one fucking instant and haven’t looked back since. I’m honored to be a fan and will ALWAYS be a BTS fan (and a Jin biased BTS fan at that) from here til FOREVER.

#Anonymous #I don't know if this is what you want #or if this is what you were asking for #it's far too long and i don't feel like i really say anything just a bunch of rambles #but honestly being a BTS fan since 2014 has been....a wild fucking ride #there are several people I know of that have been around since 2014 too #if anybody sees this and can add anything (like has an actual memory that works) feel free!!!!!#sorry to take you on such a ramble anon #xxxo #thank you for this ask!#i hope you learn anything interesting from it xxxx
