How the creeps would react to having a closed off/depressed partner headcanons!!!

GN!

Ticci Toby

He feels bad that he can’t just… change it. He gets that you just prefer to be alone and don’t let people in very much but he feels kinda bad. He knows what it’s like to be all alone and he doesn’t want you to feel like that. He wants to help, wants to make you happy all the time, but knows he can’t and it pisses him off

I don’t really feel like he’s the this shy clueless uwu soft innocent boi that I’ve seen a lot of people make him about to be (everyone is allowed to have their own opinions and he’s not my character so I don’t get to say DEFINITIVELY how he is or isn’t, but I personally just don’t think he’s like this), and I feel like he has a good level of understanding of what it’s like to just wanna be away from people. He tries to help and get you out of your shell but not in a “but b-babe… don’t be d-depressed… waff-fles exists! What do you muh-mean that won’t help… mmmh… :(“ kind of way

Really dosen’t mind if you would rather stay in your room all day and just sit with him than go for a walk or hang out with the other proxies (yes I luv slender-mansion AU or wtvr it’s referred to as pls don’t hate me idk if that’s a normal thing or what im new to the fandom 💔). He just likes being around you

Brings you stuff when he’s out on missions that he thinks you’ll like. Just little stuff like a cool rock he found

You have a collection of rocks, snail shells, dried up old flowers, leaves, and literally anything he finds that he thinks is pretty

If you over think things and interactions a lot, he likes to sit in bed and rub your head. He says he’s rubbing the bad thoughts away. He’ll sit and massage your head for straight up hours while just sitting and talking

He can’t cook for shit but he loves making you food that he knows you like when you’re extra depressed/don’t feel like cooking. He’ll come into your room with a whole plate of food, cup of juice, and a big grin before walking over and covering every inch of your face in kisses and telling you how pretty you are

If you don’t show emotions very much or have a bad case of RBF he goes CRAZYYYYYY when you smile. Like he gets so flipping freaking happy. He’ll get this big dopey grin and kiss your cheek

“You’re s-so gorgeous when you sm-smm-smile, baby…”

“So are you…”

“Babe! Babe! Ch-check it out!! I f-f-found you a rock!!!”

“Oh yeah?”

“YEAH!!! It’s f-fucken’ red… l-look… it’s like… shiny and sh-shit… ILL PUT IT W-WITH THE R-RUH-REST!!!!”

“Kay…”

Nina Hopkins/Nina the Killer

WILL try to physically pull you out of bed. If you don’t get up and she can’t pull you out she gets in bed and pokes at your face and sides until you get out of bed and hang out with her

She dosent get not wanting to be friends either people. I feel like she’s a very bubbly person and wouldn’t understand why someone would just want to be by themselves

After you explain your reasonings to her, she gets it a little better but still dosen’t fully understand. She’ll always listen and hear you out on everything, though

Gets fake angry when you just wanna be by yourself or in your room

Genuinely cares even if she gets just a little pissy when you just wanna rot in bed

Gets ECSTATIC when she gets to go on missions with you. Like loses it. Not the best HC for this but idc because i wanted to put it in here 😊

“C’mon… get out of bed… I wanna do your hair… oh my god GET OUT”

“Ow… Nina…”

“Wanna play uno with me Jeff BEN and Jack?”

“No thanks sweetheart…”

“So you fucking hate me.”

Natalie Ouellette/Clockwork

Does not care ONE bit

If she wants you to go to the kitchen with her and get a snack, she will simply just grab your hand and drag you. Could not care less if you don’t want to go

If you get nervous around large groups of people or just don’t like it, she’ll hold and rub your hand if you have to be in a crowded room

Tells you how proud of you she is when you get back alone somewhere together

Loves laying in bed and doing nothing together and will just sit in your lap while you play with her hair or wtvr

It took awhile for you to open up and let your guard down, but when you did she became the most comforting person ever. She gets what it’s like to not feel like you have anyone to go to, so she tries her best to be that person to you

Like Toby, she adores rubbing your head and taking care of you. Especially if you’re having a bad episode, she likes to make sure you’re eating, bathing, drinking water and such, it makes her feel needed and helpful

I feel like she would really like to hold and cuddle you when you’re upset, but she’s very wry with it due to her past experiences. She always asks before she cuddles you, hugs you, and especially before she kisses you. She dosen’t want to be seen as anything like her brother so she’s extremely careful with physical affection

“You did so good today my love… I’m so proud of you…”

“I saw the way you talked to Jane today… you rarely ever talk to her… that was great sweetheart…”

“Come on baby… I want chips.”

“But I don’t wanna get out of bed.”

“Too bad. What kind do you want?”

“Hey… it’s alright… can I maybe hug you?”

“Yes please…”

“Come here love…”

Helen Otis/Bloody Painter

1000000% gets it bc he’s the same exact way

After you two get close and eventually start officially dating, his art space kinda also becomes your safe space. It’s where you always find him, and it’s incredibly calming

Just being around him and in his presence is calming. I feel like he always has a nice warm candle burning, the lights aren’t too bring but bright enough for him to see, and he has soft, classical music playing (he’s defo pretentious as FUCK and might try and quiz you on if the current song is Bach or Mozart), nothing in the room is really unnerving except for his pieces

Will sit right next to you when everyone eats together. It’s very comforting and calming for the both you you

He’s like always right next to you when you leave your room. That man does NOT want to be by him self around the rest of those freaks

Even though he’s not one for confrontation, he gets upset when someone pushes your limits. He got very upset and yelled at Jeff once for trying to make you upset and asking you a bunch of personal questions

AMAZING listener. Once you warm up to him and start to talk to him more, he loves to just sit and listen. He thinks you’re beautiful, so getting to stare at your face AND listen to your voice? Jackpot

He’s a bit awkward when it comes to feelings and comfort, but he tries his best. Hell nervously rub your back when he knows your upset or sad, or he’ll lean in and press a quick kiss to your cheek and then pat your shoulder

Also like Toby, he likes bringing you stuff when he knows you’re sad, but more so stuff to comfort you.

Since he’s a little less suspecting of being a murder than the others (*cough cough* JEFF *cough cough* NINA), he’s actually able to go out and buy stuff without being arrested. He’ll take money out of his victims pockets and buy you chocolate, stuffed animals, a new blanket, he dosen’t get that much money, but whatever dosen’t go to his art supplies goes right to you

“Love? Guess who got a surprise for you…”

“Hm?”

“Found some of that chocolate you like while I was getting some new brushes…”

“Is this candle alright? I know some people are sensitive to cinnamon. I can light the peony one instead if this one hurts your head.”

“Care for some hot chocolate? I’m gonna run down and make some”

“No thanks…”

“Hm. Tea? I’d rather you not have too much caffeine but coffee?”

“And she just… and I… I just… … … Helen?”

“Hm?”

“Are you listening?”

“Yes?”

“Are you sure?”

“Your mother never showed she cared about you and focused on her husband constantly, not even worrying how it affected you. I’m listening. Keep going.”

“I like this song.”

“Yeah? Name 5 Beethoven pieces right now.” (J/K)

Hiiiii!!!! Tysm for reading!!! This is my first time posting on here and my first time posting about creepypasta, so I hope I did well!!! Remember to drink water lovies <3

Also here’s some flowers I drew earlier :]

[mino491]

I genuinely belive that the writers this season just forgot everything about this show,,,

here are just the examples of things that were really confusing this season:

>Klaus either can't conjure ghosts anymore or for some messed up reason would rather have a ghost possess him and have sex with his (the ghost's) wife rather than the lesser of two evils which would've been to just conjure him and let them do whatever they wanted.

The ghosts clearly aren't Klaus's puppets and can do what they please while corporeal (like when Ben tackles Klaus in s2) so why didn't he just let the ghost get nasty instead of letting him possess him, something that he himself says is super violating WHEN TALKING ABOUT HIS BROTHER WHO HE MUST TRUST and not even considering some random man possessing him.

>Quinn somehow just knows that Klaus has powers, can talk to ghosts, AND can be possessed ???

>Quinn doesn't freak the fuck out when he sees Klaus just floating

>Klaus, within 6 years, starts using and doesn't stop for 3 years until he gets sober and just randomly becomes a germaphobe?

I totally understand him being afraid of death from the get-go but why does it take 3 years (i assume because he's been sober for that long) for him to really understand that he can die? Does that mean that he was just really suicidal for 3 years and didn't care if he died until he found Allison and Claire? The writers touch on this when Klaus talks about being someone Claire likes but that all goes to shit when he gets his powers back and takes a complete 180 back to his old life. I just wish so bad that they could've had more time this season to let the characters breathe and react rather than just doing stuff for the sake of the storyline. I, and many others, would've loved to see the aftermath of Klaus lecturing his siblings because we see a side of Klaus that I personally loved but felt like was out of place when we see him in later episodes.

>Luther's ape body comes back because of the Marigold even though it has nothing to do with his powers'

>Five suddenly doesn't care about his family, doesn't care what happens to them, and FALLS IN LOVE WITH HIS BROTHERS WIFE AKA HIS SISTER-IN-LAW AND KINDA SORTA ACTUAL SISTER

>RAY LEFT ALLISON???? AND SHES NOT GOING CRAZY??? they literally mischaracterized the most hated character in s3 so badly that she's one of the best (main) characters in s4.

>Lila is bored of her life even though all she's ever wanted was a family. AND she's acting like her parents being alive is no big deal?

>Lila's family just accept that she's their daughter.

This confused me so bad and as I'm writing this I'm getting more confused. So if Lila's family just accepted that she, a random 30 year old, was their child, does that mean that Marigold children (Umbrellas, Sparrows, etc) never existed in this version of 2019 or were they born and then killed or were they born without powers? All of those options have issues like a) if they never existed, why did Lila's family let her in, b) how did like all 43 kids just die all over the world without gaining any attention and how were they born in the first place and why would Lila's family take her in if they thought she died?, and c) they were born because Reg gave their Mums each a bit of Marigold so how were they born without the Marigold or with the Marigold but were powerless

I have so many more points so if anyone's interested let me know <3

Wait... looking back at ITSV how did Gwen and Peni explain their multiple day disappearance to their parents/guardians?

I think that after Peter died and Gwen's dad started obsessively blaming Spider-Women, the two of them started getting into some bad arguments cause they were both hurting and Gwen already felt guilty so having her dad unknowingly blame her as well probably worsened their relationship. So after they had fights, she would sometimes crash at a friend's house like one of the Mary Janes or if you wanna add comic elements, Harry Osborn. That's why her dad didn't find it all that strange when she disappeared

Ik the basic gist of what happened in Peni's comics so I headcannon that she doesn't have the best relationship with her uncle Ben and aunt may cause it seems like she was only SP//dr because she wss fed a bunch of stuff about it being her responsibilitity to do all this because she was only person with the same DNA as her dad and that was the only reason she became SP//dr as young as she did (she was nine). I think she had trouble making friends for a long while as well so maybe Addy, if you change up some comic elements, was her first since she was younger and she would sometimes do the same thing gwen did when she felt like everything was too much. That's why she was so ruined during ATSV because Addy, instead of just being a classmate and fellow pilot, was a friend she actually cared about.

And maybe sometimes Peni would chill with her universe's Daredevil

At this point, you probably get that I kinda dislike her May and Ben even if I don't know everything about their relationship becsuse I have yet to read her comics

Specimen 9 and 5 origins or general headcanons please

Specimen 9 and backstory stuff:

Ok let’s start off with some canon. So what we already know is that the Taker was a survivor of Unit 731 and seems to be made of a clay like substance. I believe that substance is a dense flesh like matter made from the bodies of anyone he collects.

The taker doesn’t just take from his victims but from any dead person he finds. Like a scavenger of sorts. The more he collects, the stronger he gets. He got taken apart since he was deemed too dangerous and at the end of the game we see him get put together.

-Ok so hc time; this is post bad-ending. During his fight with 14, he got damaged so badly he was in pieces again. Spooky had to manually piece him together again, it was that bad. That’s also why 14 is this red, black color now. It’s just the dried clay like blood of the Taker. Thats how violent he was during the battle.

-So once the Taker got himself back together again, he was immediately given the devastating news that the guy he got killed to is now a permanent resident. He was so upset he stayed in his area and didn’t talk to spooky for a while. Eventually he got over it, but he watched his step now.

-The other specimens view the Taker as a second leader of sorts. Spooky may be in charge but most don’t take her seriously. So spooky enlist the help of the Taker to get them to listen since he’s very powerful. Specimen 8 and 5 are his closest “friends.” -They all have mutual respect for each other and their leader ship skills. They talk to each other in a very diplomatic way.

-The taker kinda talks pretty proper most of the times and spends his time finding any books lying around and reading them. He enjoys literature a lot and he’s knowledgeable in about 4-5 languages, ranging from human to even demonic languages. But for the most part, he remains in a dormant state until someone arrives at the mansion where he starts to follow them. If they destroy items or stand around too long he’ll kill them. He hates loiters.

-Most specimens, monsters, etc are either scared of him or respect him. The Taker also enjoys feeding specimen 3 sometimes too. He also can speak backwards to the Beef demon and they enjoy eating and chatting together

-He is pretty tired a lot of the time and prefers to be left alone in silence.

Specimen 5 time! Back story first

-Specimen 5 was the mother of a cult. She got summoned to the world and was worshipped for being this powerful demon. Bab initially wanted to kill the cult that summoned her but decided to take advantage of them instead, so she made them her followers. Since bab was specific requirements for sacrifices so she could get the cult to do all the work of getting a perfect sacrifice for her. These sacrifices also made her stronger.

-Bab would also get these followers to do her bidding and kill anyone who opposed her and summon more demonic things for her to use. The stronger she got the more her power to manipulate the minds of people grew more effective. She’d use this to keep her followers in line.

-But once they started fucking up her sacrifices she got so pissed she killed them all. This lead to rumor of a church being where people got massacred which got the attention of the GL labs people. Catching Bab was actually kinda easy and she wasn’t happy about that L

Time for the current Hc’s!

-Bab actually enjoys the specimens she’s stuck with and gets along with mostly all of them. Ben, Taker, Deer lord, Tirsiak, Frenzy, and specimen 4 are her closest friends.

-Bab is quite serious and motherly in nature and often gives advice to the others. Her illusions don’t work on the specimens however.

-When Bab “sleeps” she quite literally becomes an inanimate mannequin and sleeps standing up. Like you could knock her over and she’d fall and an inanimate object.

-Bab doesn’t eat or drink and she can’t either. To waste time she either talks to her friends or cares for the womb room. Since bab also has a motherly attitude to her, she also cares for the dolls with frenzy. Since many of them are children, they view Bab and Frenzy as their moms. The hooked doll and Wormy also view Bab in this way.

-Bab can sense other demonic presences and can speak a multitude of demon languages and knows many different rituals by heart

-Bab is the mom of the Mansion and is tired of everyone’s bs

-her sword is kinda melded to her hand which makes sense cause she doesn’t have hands. This is also kinda how she picks stuff up, by melding her arm to it then unmelding it to release it.

Wow man, a novel?! Despite the sucky job that's still super cool. Any chance we could get an excerpt, or a premise? (I'm stuck writing job applications, so we're *both* bored as hell, please, I'd welcome the distraction!) Also I'm good, thanks for asking :)

Heh. Well. I'm a little hesitant to share a whole lot about it right now—both because it's kinda personal to me, and also...because I'm super terrified I'll never actually finish it.

But, it's an autobiographical narrative, and I'm kinda just writing it as I go. It's about me...but I'm still not too sure what it's really about.

...And whether I'm the hero. Or the villain.

Maybe both.

...Sorry. I've been, uh...kind of...in my own head, lately. That's been another function of this project, for me. Processing...things...

...Anyway.

It's, well—also about my girlfriend. We're visiting each other's families this month—you know, like—announcing officially that we're dating (!!!), now—

But...that part hasn't happened, yet, in real life. So...I started out just kinda...writing about how she and I met. And it's really funny, because, what we initially bonded over was not wanting to kiss people.

So—sure, I'll share an excerpt, haha. But...you gotta remember I'm still workin' on it. And it's a little rough around the edges. And it ain't all polished up nice and pretty, just yet.

Maybe...a little bit like me.

Most of Luke’s students were teenagers, then. You get a bunch of teens together—stuff happens, you know? And sometimes that “stuff” is weird kissing games. And so, it was a game of spin-the-saber that brought Fannie and I together—not because we were both in attendance, but rather, exactly the opposite. 

I told you: I was homeschooled. I didn’t know what that was. And when I found out, I ran away as fast as I could, and I saw there was a light on in Fannie’s hut, so I knocked on her door, and she let me in.

“My, you look a mess,” she said, looking me over, probably seeing all the trauma on my face. “Are you alright?”

“I…yeah, I just…” I gestured vaguely behind me. “The others were…”

A look of concern crossed Fannie’s face. “Were they being mean to you?”

I shook my head. “No. Not exactly. Kind of the opposite, to be honest. One might say things were getting a little too friendly back there.”

Fannie sighed, and rolled her eyes a little, and stood up on tiptoe and let her heels fall back down abruptly. “What was it this time? ‘Never have I ever?’ ‘Seven minutes in Force heaven?’ ‘Spin-the-saber?’”

“That one. The last one. I mean, I didn’t know what spin-the-saber was! I haven’t been able to practice with a saber all this time—I thought we’d be sparring, and doing cool spinny-tricks, or somethin’—”

Fannie giggled, then, and I looked at her, shuffling my feet a little. I was afraid she was laughing at me.

“You’re not like other boys, are you?” she asked with gentle amusement, her brown eyes sparkling a little.

I interpreted this remark offensively, of course, because I’m great at that. I shot her a nasty little look. “Well, I don’t see you over there.”

“Oh, that’s not what I meant; it’s not bad at all to be different,” Fannie assured me. “You’re right; I’m not over there. Why don’t you sit down? I can make us some tea.”

“Thanks. Um…I actually forgot your name.”

Fannie giggled. “I’m Fannie.”

“Oh. Right. Fannie. I’m Ben. Nice to meet you.”

And then I cringed because, well, we had already met, and she already knew my name, and oooooh owie I’m so awkward.

But she didn’t seem to mind.

“Yes, it’s nice to meet you,” she smiled.

The tea was made. The tea was drunk. A half-hour later I was sitting on her bed while she sat on the floor and knitted (Fannie loves knitting and crocheting and other forms of making stuff out of yarn and thread).

“I’ve never liked anyone before. Is that weird?”

“Perhaps you haven’t found the right person.”

“You sound like my mom,” I groaned. “No—it’s not that. It’s not that at all. I just don’t want to be with someone, like that.”

“Ah, I see,” Fannie said. “Well—there’s nothing wrong with that. The old Jedi used to take vows of celibacy. Did you know that?”

“Yeah…I knew that,” I said, tapping my fingers rapidly against the clay mug. “But…this isn’t something I chose. I’m just…like this. I’ve always been. I don’t know why.”

Fannie was quiet for a moment. And I began to worry again that she thought I was weird.

“…I sense that this has been difficult for you,” she said finally, her voice heavy with sympathy. “To feel like you’re different from other people.”

I looked up at her. She was gazing at me with such compassion. My heart kind of…filled up. With something warm, and sweet, and achy.

“…Yeah,” I said. “Yeah…exactly.”

“Hm.” Fannie took my empty mug and set it on the little table by the door. “Well…I can’t presume to know what you’ve experienced or what you’ve gone through, Ben. But, I’ve felt different from other people, too, so I know a little of how it feels. I’m sixteen and I’ve never dated anyone, or kissed, or been kissed.”

I didn’t really know what I was supposed to say. What normal people who weren’t me usually said. That’s okay? You’ll find someone? That’s too bad?

“…Well, I’m seventeen and I’ve never done any of those things, either,” I said finally. Then I grinned. “Maybe Uncle Luke should reinstitute the celibacy rule. Then, everyone would have to be just like you and me.”

Fannie giggled. “I wouldn’t like that. I do want to be married someday.”

“Oh. You do?”

She nodded, and then after a bit I nodded back.

“Yeah, I guess can see that. I s’pose you do kinda seem like you’d end up married someday.”

“What do you mean?”

I shrugged, embarrassed, wondering if I was about to say something offensive. “I dunno. You just seem—kind of—like a mom.” I paused. “I mean it in a good way, this time.”

Fannie beamed. “I have become rather known as the ‘mom friend’ around here.”

I looked at her, the knitting in her hands, the mugs on the table, the kindness in her smile.

“Yeah, I can see that, too.”

“Thank you.”

“Well…I’m glad you don’t like kissing, either,” I said. “I felt like I was the only one. I don’t know. It always seemed gross to me.”

Fannie was quiet.

“What? You don’t think so?” I asked.

“…I’d…I’d like to kiss someone someday,” Fannie admitted, turning a little pink. “But…not while playing spin-the-saber.”

“Really? Why?” I asked—because I was starting to feel comfortable with her, and I’d always wanted to ask, but never felt like I could. “I just—don’t get it. It’s like—your mouths—touching each other—and germs—and spit—”

“Well, when you phrase it that way, Ben Solo, of course it sounds revolting.”

“It is revolting,” I told her, “and I’m just saying it like it is! Well, okay. Okay, okay. Would you—would you do it with tongue and stuff? ‘Cause—that’s nasty.”

Fannie turned even redder.

“Oh, my Force. You’re about to say yes.”

“It…it might be nice,” she confessed. “If…if I liked him very much, and we were very close, and—if we were married.”

“Ewwww!” I threw a pillow at her, playfully—and then I realized we didn’t know each other that well, and I didn’t know if she and I were close enough for me to throw things at her—but she only laughed.

“Goodness, let’s talk about something else now,” she said, then. “My face is burning.”

“Oh my Force, yes. Team No Kissing?” I offered her a high-five.

“Team No Kissing,” she agreed, laughing.

We high-fived. And from that moment on, we were friends.

And—we still are. I don’t think it makes us not friends just because we’re also dating now.

In fact, she was such a good friend to me, that when the thing I call my “mental health crisis” began to spiral out of control, she was the first one I went to for help...

[alyssacat013]

I have now finished the first season of twin peaks and woah…it was a lot. This show has been a real wild ride with some many plots happening at once that are still somehow connected. I feel like I got some questions answered but still have so many left. The first big one being who shot Cooper at the end, like I’m sure he’s still alive, but like what!? Like is that person Laura’s actual killer.

Like it seems that Leo killed Laura , but I’m not sure like I’m sure he had some part in it, but I feel like there must be someone else or multiple other someone’s. Also, we still don’t know what the whole thing with the one armed man and the man with the long gray hair means. Like they must still be important somehow especially since Agent Cooper and Laura’s mom both had visions of the same guy. Also, we still don’t know what “fire walk with me” means and we still don’t know anything about what happened at the train cart or why. Also, Romette still hasn’t woken up yet so we still haven’t gotten her story yet. Lots of stuff still to uncover in season 2 it seems.

Outside of the Laura stuff we also had this story of the mill which took so many twists and turns. Like at first it seemed like Catherine and Ben Horne were working together to burn down the mill, then it turns out that he’s actually working with Josie and is going to screw Catherine over for some reason, but then Josie is also secretly working with Hank who she paid to kill her husband so she could get the money. But Ben still wants to burn down the mill since he hired Leo to do that? So, like is Josie actually okay with burning the mill down, like did he offer her something? I’m still a bit fuzzy on what’s going on with all that.

Also, as the season went on I accepted Donna and James together more even if the timing was still weird to me, I don’t mind them so much and kinda like them together now and I guess Laura wasn’t all the faithful either so yeah. Also, I still think it’s fun that they got Laura’s actress to still be in the show as her cousin and just put a brown wig and huge glasses on her, haha. Although, I am worried for James, I hope he can find a way to prove his innocence after Bobby put the drugs in his motorcycle.

Now, speaking of Bobby, I don’t know how I feel about him, I hated him in the first episode and while I still don’t like him I don’t know I feel a bit bad for him I guess. Although, I’m mad he framed James like that, like he’s such a hypocrite to be mad at him because he dated Laura when Bobby also cheated on Laura with Shelly. But, that’s stupid teenage boys I guess.

Now, onto Shelly, I feel bad for her and I’m glad Leo is dead now. Although I was a bit confused about her relationship with Bobby because he’s like what 17/18 and how old is she? Like at first I thought she was a teenager too, but then it seemed like she wasn’t but then Bobby mentioned something about how she dropped out of high school to be with Leo so maybe they are close in or the same age. Yeah, but I hope she’s okay and that she gets out of the burning mill, I’d hate for her to just die like that.

Next, a character I really came to love as the show went on was Audrey, I wasn’t sure how I felt about her at first but I really came to love her. She’s smart and quick-thinking. I see why she vibes so much with Agent Cooper, maybe they would be a cute couple if not for the fact that she’s a high schooler and he’s like in his 30s, I’m glad that Cooper officially told her they couldn’t be together but still offered to be her friend. Also, I’m very curious about what’s going to happen with her dad when he sees her at One-eyed Jacks.

Now about Agent Cooper, I enjoyed every minute he was onscreen he’s just so fun to watch and I also loved how everyone at the police station just accepted his weird methods and dreams. Like Harry didn’t even bat an eye at Cooper telling him about his dream and was fully ready to arrest whoever he said Laura’s killer was. It’s fun where supernatural esque stuff happens and everyone just rolls with it. I also like how much he’s come to care about everyone and this town and I’m glad he stood up for Harry against that jerk fbi guy and refused to agree to press charges. And when he agreed to help him with Josie even though he was a bit skeptical because Harry told him he loved her and said that’s all he needed to know, I thought it was sweet.

Now, a quick thing I want to talk about is some of the other side characters. Honestly, I kinda love Nadine, like yeah she’s crazy but idk I think Ed’s too boring for someone like her and she deserves better. I’ll be sad if she really is dead next season. Then, we had Norma’s storyline with her husband, I like Norma and I’m honestly a bit worried about what Hank will do to her if he finds out about her relationship with Ed. Then, Dr Jacoby who I’m not totally sure what his deal is, like he seems like a creep and like he had some gross infatuation with Laura and honestly seems like a bad therapist. Then, Laura’s dad, who seems like he’s lost it like I understand wanting to get back at your daughters killer but I’m not sure how much farther he’s gonna go. Then, there’s Pete who seems like a really nice guy, I liked his friendship with Josie and I hope he doesn’t die trying to save Catherine. Then, finally, I hope that Lucy and Andy work it out and he apologizes to Lucy for how he reacted to her saying she was pregnant and steps up to be a father. Lucy is very sweet and deserves only the best so he better give it to her.

Finally, to talk about Laura herself, it seems like Laura had a lot of issues she was struggling with. Like she seemed to have a really low opinion of herself and seemed to think that she was inherently bad and therefore deserved bad things to happen to her and even took it out on others. I feel like the show is a bit trying to portray her as some devious girl, but I don’t know I just feel sad for her. I’m interested to learn more about her and what happened to her in the next season.

Anyway, I really enjoyed myself this season and I’m excited to see what awaits.

[zomb-rabbit]

Hii! Im here to request a matchup!

My physical appearance: I have dirty blonde hair that reaches to about my shoulders. I’ve never dyed it btw. I have blue eyes with green around my irises (central heterochromia I think it’s called) and a tiny beauty mark under my right eye. Speaking of, I have beauty marks almost everywhere on my body. I’m 5’4 and a bit chubby but sadly only in my tummy area which I’m insecure about :( I have a vertical labret and a septum. I either dress in the ‘Mcbling y2k’ style (just like shirts, skirts and accessories that relate to that genre) or a band t-shirt and some jeans. I don’t ever put my hair up. I do my Make-up a lot, basically whenever I go out for anything lmao.

My personality: idk if this counts as “personality” but I’m straight and my pronouns are she/her😭 I’m a loud person, like if I get excited or stuff like that. I’m a YAPPER🔥 I’ll talk about anything I know a lot about for hours. I’m the “mom” friend, I’ve been told, but also match the chaotic energy (quote my bsf)

My hobbies: I love baking, just cooking in general. I ❤️ MUSIC. I listen to music on the daily. My favorite artists are Mitski, Arctic Monkeys, MSI (I don’t support their actions btw😟) and Weezer. I go on walks a lot, specially around sunset on the edge of these woods outside my house (ironic given the fandom I know lmao) I love animals, my favorite is rabbits and raccoons

And finally for the relationship preferences I’d definitely want something long term :3

Thank you!! 😽

HIIIIII U SOUND SO COOL WHATT !!!!!!!!!

this is totally my bad for not specifying it, but you didn't put what fandom/s you'd want so i tried to fit you in with them all :)) i hope that's okay !!

EverymanHYBRID ;

Evan !! you two are so silly together, and i feel like you two could get down w listening to MSI together. i think of Evan as someone who knows how to cook and enjoys it- so y'all are a lil cook/baker duo :) y'all can talk at each other all you want about WHATEEVVVVERRRRR u want lolz. i think he'd also be a big fan of your style !!

Creepypasta ;

i was a little stuck between Toby and Ben for this one, but i'm leaning more towards Toby. you two can just keep a convo going for god knows how long on those evening walks around the woods, and he'd love to look for rabbits and raccoons to show you !! Toby also totally gravitates towards mom friends- he loves being able to actually tell that you care about him and that you wanna keep him safe. ALSOOO y'all would bond over Weezer and MSI

Marble Hornets ;

Brian !!! he is a great listener and he loves when you're passionate about what you're talking about. he thinks it's cute how much shorter you are than him, especially when you're trying to scold him about being careful while he's out. he's also a sucker for baked goods- you've got him wrapped around your finger if you start making stuff for him. i can also see him liking some of Arctic Monkeys :)

Overwatch ;

you and Cole could balance each other out methinks. he thinks it's cute how excited you get about things, usually in stark contrast to his slower smooth talkin nature lol. he loves that you try and take care of the people close to you, and he has a craaazy sweet tooth if that's the kinda baking you're into. he'd also love to go on late night walks or drives with you when given the chance

!!!TW: Pedophilia and zoophilia mentioned/discussed!!!

!!!TW: Pedophilia and zoophilia mentioned/discussed!!! !!!TW: Pedophilia and zoophilia mentioned/discussed!!!

Ok so this may be a hot take, but I'm so tired of people being mad about people aging up BEN Drowned for their AUs, HCs, etc and sexualizing him or romanticizing him. Not to mention the others like Jeff but Ben's the main one I see people be mad about.

I have personally been a creepypasta fan since I was 11. I discovered it through "cringe" fanfics on Deviantart when I was looking for Hetalia ones which led me to read the stories because I wanted to know who these characters were. I latched onto Ben and Jeff HARD. My family moved to another country when I was 12 and I was extremely lonely and isolated and imagining I could talk to Ben and Jeff and other creepypastas was part of what kept me alive. I was able to build confidence to stand up to my abusive parents because of them. Naturally, as a hormonal teen, I also had NSFW fantasies about them and would read those kinds of fics. Honestly, I shouldn't have been reading those as they weren't good for my development, but it is what it is. I aged those characters up with me. I think I did wait a year or two before I realized "Hm, this is gonna get real awkward real fast if they're still 12 and 13 and I'm 14..." but still. I still have an intense attachment to those characters because of all of that and I'm 24. I'm not a pedophile, so naturally, I'm gonna age them up and I'm also sexual, so naturally I'm gonna sexualize them sometimes. I think in an attempt to protect against pedophilia, people are over-saturating the word and using it for things that literally aren't. Like, my dad was a pedophile. I know what pedophilia looks like, and aging up a character you love, then sexualizing them is not the same thing. I can see the argument for someone literally only aging them up to 18 and not changing their body at all, but that's also not the same thing.

I feel like the only character that gets dicey with this is Sally because she was a victim of pedophilia as like, the main thing in her story and also the stuff with her creator making CP of her, but if I remember right wasn't the creator a minor at the time? If so, I think that while she shouldn't have posted it, that's also not nearly the same as an adult doing that. Regardless, with Sally I can see where it would be weirder to age her up and sexualize her, but also, I personally wouldn't immediately assume that makes the person a pedo either bc some people get into the fandom really young, like 7 or something and if they had a similar experience with her that's not the same either, but I also... I personally would at least change her name a bit to really point out that "hey she's an adult now and is more mature/grown up, she's not the same person as she was when she was 8-12" but also I kinda just don't have the same connection to her personally and I think that if people are gonna get mad about aging up Ben they're gonna get way more mad about Sally. Which I understand, but it also feels weird to age up everyone except her. Like, why is this 8-12 year old hanging out with and living with a bunch of adults all the time? Especially ones as morally dubious as the creepypastas. Btw, for clarity, I'm not saying that people who keep Sally a child and age up everyone are bad or anything either, I'm just saying I can see how it'd be kinda awkward either way.

Also, this whole thing bothers me because it reminds me of the pearl-clutching my conservative Christian mom used to do and how she'd say someone was a child groomer because they were lesbian and open about it around everyone including kids, like, no. Those aren't even kind of the same, what are you talking about?

I think that also, because I knew my dad was a pedo (as well as my maternal grand sperm-donor) from a young age (around 11 or 12 so ironically around the same time I discovered creepypastas) that I think about stuff like "why are people pedos" or "what causes someone to become a pedo" or "what is and isn't pedophilia" a lot more than most people because during my teen years especially, when I was at my lowest with self-depreciation, I would stress myself out worrying that maybe it was in my blood and I would be one as an adult. I've had to face down that potential horror for years and come out the other side knowing I'm not one, but even if I ever did somehow change or something that I'd never ever act on it or hurt a child. Like, I would just not go near children if it were a problem and like, that really made it all click for me. People who are active pedos, online or irl are like that because they don't care enough about the pain it would cause. It's an extreme selfishness, just like zoophilia. Either that or the occasional like, child or something that genuinely just doesn't realize it's harmful or something but that's not the same thing.

I hope this was all coherent, I just saw some posts about it on Pinterest and figured I'd scream into the void about it instead of arguing with people in the comments of a post I didn't like. Also, I'm kinda dumb so if something seems messed up about it, it may just be that I worded it wrong so please don't automatically assume stuff in bad faith.

Also, feel free to share your thoughts. If I'm just not seeing something about this and I'm wrong then I want to learn and do better. I don't want anyone to be hurt or to cause problems, but also know that literally anything a person does could cause problems for someone so trying to find that balance is hard sometimes.

[that-one-guy-who-does-the-thing]

i hope we get a new intro sometime this season

ok so this is OUR steven in this melon baby i believe

LAPIIIS oh my GOD THE MELONS ARE FEEDING M..malecite? MALEKITE DREAM STEVENS

STEVEN WE LOVE YOU AAAAAAAAGH I LOVE YOU STEVEEEEN oh wait jasper is down in the crack of the earth im sure that wont come back to bite steven and peridot anytime soon

unrelated kinda but ive been singing along to the intro and i think just once they should replace "we'll always find a way" with "we'll do it anyway" idk i just think it would be cool if it was more thematically relevant

steven: yknow i actually kinda feel bad for the zombies

uh ohhhh steven is psychic and feels the gem shards dying

the big bubble/.....................................

i love you green thing

nooo... lapis lazuli from mindcraft....... come back...... again...

A WHOLE NEW WORLD

oug is this another hologram backstory i smell??? :D

steven: you WILL become sister number 5...... or... 7..?

steven universe how to draw anime artstyle.................

steven: you WILL be friends

oh my god the rubies are so cute

nice falling episode. reminded me kind of of season 1 stuff. a bit. we've been doing so much continuity it's nice to have just a falling episode

who is this old man DEAD BEAT DAD?????? OF COURSE THE TITLE OF THE EPISODE

this old man looks like his breath smells really bad but always points his mouth at your nose when he talks

ADS NOOO FUCK OFF oh onion you are a Weirdo

HES NOT THE STEPDAD HES THE DAD WHO FUCKING STEPPED. UP.

holy fuck greg

if i really wanted to i could analyze the lyrics of that ending song that seems to be playing a different part of a full song every episode but unfortunately my first ever ex who i had a terrible ending with used to sing it and also im just not that into songs like that in the first place they make my heart and sinus areas weird so ill just not

yknow im just realizing it's cool seeing the difference between pearl and greg's interactions with steven -- particularly in the "this is a different person than rose quartz" department. greg has consistently seen steven as his own son for the entire time, but pearl has in the past fixated on steven technically being rose. fun.

THEYRE GOING TO EMPIRE CITY FROM SONIC UNLEASHED..... AND BRINGING PEARL YAY MORE CHARACTERS WHO ORIGINALLY DIDNT GETTING ALONG LEARNING TO BE FRIENDS!!!!!! wow that sure does happen a lot on this show huh. well, i'm not complaining, i love seeing people be friends :O)

oh... this ep is gonna end with greg spending all of his money

"it's over isn't it why can't i move on" all being sung on the same note is such a good little uh, uh, uh, whatever it's called. symbolism? whatever singing the same note over again is like not moving on an instrument

STEVEN CAN PLAY PIANO

yay theyre friends ! :D

GREEN THING BACK AT THE HOUSE and shes a DOOOORRRRKK !!!!!!! :D

oh christ not this guy again ok let's see it. any character development gonna stick this time?

oh no oh no oh no oh no please get out of lars now

ok lars switched was not very painful to watch for the most part because steven is just awesome

GREG IS THAT GUY THAT WANTED TO FUCK HIS CAR FROM THAT ONE TV SHOW

cgi car spotted cgi car spotted oh FUCK ITS THAT LOSER FROM THE DANCE

i love them.. yea i was thinking we hadnt seen connie in a while

food

hi onion

PSYCHIC STEVEN EPISODE

i love rose's portrait being super scrunched up because the camera is looking at it from a weird angle

man ben shapiro would really hate this show wouldnt he

something about this shot on the beach with the cheese in the water and the water on the horizon is super familiar to me for some reason

i love you garnet

gee i hope they. get around to the whole curing all the corrupted gems thing instead of just leaving them bubbled for the entire show.... say, come to think of it, that sounds like a plot thread that could be spun out into an episode about "dont just sit around at a place you're stuck at because if you do nothing then nothing gets better"

LAPIS IS BAAACK

JASPER IS BAAAACK ohhh shes an allegory for abusive relationships ..oh wow that was short

oh hey rose

CONNIE EPISODE LETS GOOOOOOO

jasper is acting... weird

oh thats why ok then

CONNIE EPISOOODE

oh. oh no amethyst is un-character developing. steven is outgrowing the gems because he has connie also.

ohhh its the plot of the next episode...

yknow pearl's hair reminds me of duster mother 3. i know i always say that about hair that goes backwards but shes also got the sideburns

theyre always overcoming differences and resolving interpersonal conflict super fast... or maybe i just avoid interpersonal conflict so much that i dont know how it's supposed to work?? or maybe because the runtime is 11 minutes.., oh well it's cool to see people be happy with each other

oh! an old friend!

bismuth seems cool :o)

oh,,, she did NOT get the good ending in undertale...

ROSE LORE ROSE FORESHADOWING

LAPIS AND GREEN ONE

I THINK JASPER IS HERE

oh no no no it's not jasper its her dogsWAIT NO IT IS JASPER

ANOTHER STEVEN FUSION UEEAAAAAAHHH

jasper's perverted fusion motif is kinda ,idk the word but im noticing it. noticeable? kinda cool? interesting? idk

omg are they gonna do that thing that one episode of adventure time did where they did a bmo centric episode where finn and jake were gone all day but then a season or two later they went back and showed finn and jake's side of the story

"hey you guys wanna be prisoners too?" thats fucked up amethyst haha

i love the rubies i hope they become our friends

STEVEN IN SPACE?????

:( mom stopped at the neutral ending in under tale

oh! thats it for the season? ok woah ok then ., uhhh ok so full disclosure i think i already know about the twist with pink diamond but i could also just be making shit up

watching steven universe for the first time. still on season 1. im noticing over half of the episodes are like... it's like regular show in that the first like half of the episode is relatively normal and kind of slice of life??? or at the very least just kind of stuff happening, and then after that shit picks up to a thousand, but unlike regular show it's taken super seriously and oftentimes what feels like act 3 movie character development happens out of nowhere. like idk some of these episodes have moments that would feel more deserved if there was more buildup or if it was part of like a multi-part special or something.

but other episodes are more like early adventure time. i cannot explain why

[certainlynotasimp]

Okay here me out miggy and sunny who get ambushed by another spider but it turns out to be there daughter from the future?! I feel like they’d be shocked to see a teenager (like 18) just trying to fix a mess she made to get back home. I love all your work especially Miguel and Sunny!

Our Girl

(Miguel O'Hara x Female Reader)

A/N: Hey lovely~ So I kinda went off track a little with this one and kinda focused a little more on Maria, the daughter, and not so much her fixing the problem and more her being overwhelmed by the idea of the multiverse. I'm sorry I went off kilter but I loved the idea of seeing how they would react in general to meeting their child.

Also, I've been obsessed with this song on TikTok so I had to name their daughter after it.

A/N: If you guys wanna view more of my works then feel free to read my master list and if you wanna see what else is coming up, then check out this one-shot schedule. If you love the Sunny and Miggy fics like I do then comment on the taglist post because I add everyone who comments. I hope you enjoy it!

Warning: Grumpy x Sunshine, Barely any use of (Y/N) ((Sunny is the Reader's nickname, not her actual name)), Female Reader/ Female pronouns, Shinangins, Kinda fluffy, kinda a crack fic lol, and Google translated Spanish ((Pls forgive me, my wonderful Spanish speakers.))

~~~~~~~~~~

Okay, I guess If im gonna do this, I’m gonna have to start with the beginning, Hi I’m Maria O’ Hara and I’m-

“Kids, Breakfast is ready~!” A soft cheery voice calls out causing a groan to escape the teenager’s mouth. The sound of two pairs of feet book it past her bedroom door with the notable bang of one of them being knocked into the wall.

“Mami!” A teary voice of her seven year old brother yells. “Gabriel keeps pushing me into the wall!”

“No I’m not!” The thirteen year old cries out with a loud crack in his voice. “He keeps getting in front of me!”

“Gabriel, Ben, quit bickering and come here before your father comes down.” The gentle scolding causes the boys to continue their run down the stairs while Maria rolls her eyes and goes back to her diary.

Dammit, okay, we can work with this. Hi, I’m Maria O’ Hara. I’m 18 years old and I live in Nueva York with my mama and papa and my two brothers. I’m basically your normal teenager except for one-

“Maria?” a soft knock on her door causes her to call back through the door.

“Yes, Mama?” “Breakfast is ready, honey. Come on down stairs before it gets cold…” She can hear the cautious edge in her mother’s voice as she tries to coo her child down stairs.

“I’m on my way, Mama, just let me get finish getting dressed.” She cringes at the lie as she was already dressed and ready for her day. Maria holds her breath for a couple of minutes until she can hear her mom mutter a simple okay as the sound of heavy foot steps come up beside her.

The low baritone of her father’s whisper can be heard along with her mother’s worried tone as she can hear her trying to urge her husband down stairs to give their daughter some privacy.

Maria returns to her writing as she knows shes definitely on a ticking time bomb now that her father was up and down stairs. He was a strickler for spending meals together as a family and the only time he let go of that rule was when one was sick or when…Maria and Javi were in that accident…

She shakes the haunting image of Javi out of her mind as she writes.

I’m basically your normal teenager except for one thing. I’m Spider Woman, the one and only beloved hero of Queens.Two years ago, I gotten bite by this funky spider at my dad’s lab in Alchemax and I gained these awesome super powers. It was honestly the best thing to ever happen to me. I got to swing around and stop bad guys all before fourth period. The only person who knew was my best friend Javi-

“Maria!” A deep voice booms as Maria gritted her teeth. “¡Tu madre ya te llamó dos veces! ¡Baja y come!”

“Shit!” The teenager curses as she rushes to collect her stuff into her bag. The white and blue fabric of her spider suit shines at the bottom of the bag before her necessities get piled on top of it.

“¡¿Qué diablos dijiste?!” Her father yells as she can hear her mother yell at him. 

“¡¡Miguel, no te atrevas a maldecir en la mesa de mi comedor!!”

Maria hurries down the stairs as she listens to her family interact at the table.

A muffled voice that she figured was her mother scolds the angry man while a soft more masculine mutter apologizes. A couple of giggles can be heard before a stern voice scolds them as well for what Maria can hear, “Chicos, no le faltéis al respeto a vuestro padre. La única razón por la que tu madre puede hacerlo es porque me echará de la cama.”

As Maria makes it into the dining room, she laughs along with her brothers as their mom playfully slaps their dad’s arm. The tall dark haired man chuckles at his adorable wife before catching her hand and kisses it, causing the woman to smile with a love sick look in her eyes. 

“Eww!” Ben cries as he tries to block his vision with his toast causing the couple to roll their eyes.

Maria sits down beside her father Miguel and Gabriel as she starts to fill her plate. All of the children looked exactly like their father with only slight changes in hair textures and certain facial features. Ben, the youngest of the trio, looked the most like their mother with his eye shape and nose matching hers while the middle child, Gabriel, was a copy and paste verison of their father with only his mother’s smile indicating that they were related. Maria was a better mixture of the two with her mother’s height and face shape making her her mother’s “clone”, Miguel’s words not their’s. 

All the siblings would disagree as their matching dark brown eyes and their dark hair. They also had his temper. There wasn’t a single day that didn’t end without a fight. But they all loved each other despite the stress they put on their poor sweet mother’s heart.

~~~~~~~~~~

“Yahooo!” The web crusader swings around the city with a laugh bubbling through her being as the adrenaline pumps through her veins. Today wasn’t that bad today when it came to crime. No cat burgalurs, no bank robberies, No super mutants, No robots, and No…

A shrilling laugh fills the sky as Maria lands on top of a building. As she looks around for the source of the noise, a figure flies over her. Several flashes of gold falls down onto the streets below and a series of explosions go off at the chilling sound of a woman’s laugh among the symphony of screams. The woman was flying on a golden glider looking device with a skin tight blue holographic suit with an orange cloak wrapping around her features with a devilish jackolatern mask on.

“Who the hell is that?” She asks to no one as she swung up to catch up to the maniac, “Hey Spooky!”

Maria sticks a web onto the glider and propels herself into the air before slamming down on top of the villain. The woman shrieks as she falls off her glider with the spider until the glider follows them down. The villainess throws a purple bomb at the girl before her glider catches her. The teenager shoots a web onto a near by building and catches the bomb. 

“No thanks, I’m not on interested in what you’re cooking.” She throws the bomb into the air before it explodes. However, instead of smoke, an orange portal appears as a strong suction causes the spider’s grip to slip and fly into the air. “Hey!” She yells as she gets pulled into the portal.

~~~~~~~

A scream echos through the Lobby as a flaying spider falls down from a portal. Hobie rolls his eyes while Jessica looks up unimpress. 

“Another newbie?” She asks as the spider girl catches herself on a walk way above the duo. 

“I don’t know.” The rocker mumbles as he tunes his guitar. “You know that they normally end up in some alternate dimension where the floor is lave or some shite.”

The spider girl looks around her in shock as she sees millions of other spider people walking around her and she begins to hyperventilates. “No no no no. Please Please don’t tell me I’m dead……”  

Jessica frowns hearing a young voice panicking and she whistles up at the girl. 

“Hey, Newbie! Come here for a minute.”

Maria swings down as the older woman takes off her googles, her warm eyes brings the younger girl to ease enough to ask,

“W-where am I?”

Hobie chuckles, thinking that the girl was confused after failing to jump. “You’re in the Lobby, remember? Didn’t Sunny give you a tour?” 

“Sunny? Whose that?” Maria looks at the duo confused as Hobie takes off his mask to look at the girl more closely. 

Jessica looks at the girl suspiciously as Hobie examines the masked girl. “Your suit is certainly different. It kinda looks like O’ Hara’s.”

Maria jumps at the mention of her last name and faces Hobie as her patience snaps. “How did you know that? And who are you guys and why are you guys dresssed lik-”

The manic girl halts as she hears a familiar voice call out from above. 

“Hey,guys!” The gentle voice calls out as she swings down from several platforms above with a friendly smile plastered on her unmasked face. Hobie and Jessica return her smile as she lands infront of them. Maria stares in horror as the duo greets the cheery spider.

“Oi, Sunny, whatcha swing up to,love?” Hobie jokes as he hugs the woman he viewed as his friend and sister figure. 

“Boss man sent me out to look at what fell through the portal while Lyla was rebooting.” She says calmly as Jessica scoffs. Miguel sending Sunny out to check something out? Nope, thats not how he ran things. He would rather send out everyone else before he would dare risk his sol getting injured.

“Boss sent you to check out a portal?” The beautiful woman asks as Sunny rubs the back of her neck, clearly leaving out some details.

“Well, an anomalous Hobgoblin managed to hack into Lyla’s systems and shut her down so it can escape…Our comms are down too..He said to get Hobie and Ben so they can investigate the scene actually…” The jumping spider admits as she feels her cheeks warm in embarrassment. 

Jessica chuckles at her friend’s confession as she remembers the new spider who was silent the whole time they were speaking.

“Oh yeah, well this new recruit came out of the portal.”She shrugs as she directed Sunny to the small blue spider woman. “You really need to give these new guys better directions for portal jumping.”

The now confused woman shakes her head as she looks at Maria before looking back at Jessica. 

“There aren’t any new recruits.” She states as she frowns at the still masked girl as she walks up to her. “Hey, whats your name, honey?” She asks in her familiar concerned voice that Maria just heard this morning.

It was her mother…well at least someone who looks like her mother. She was several years younger than her mom, clearly in her mid to late twenties. Other than that, she was her. Even down to the same facial markers and the always warm edge of her voice. What really drawn her back was the fact her mom, or this woman that looked like her was wearing a black spider suit like her own with white along her chest and inner lining of her limbs. 

“Holy shit…” The girl gasps at the woman before she slowly reaches up and removes her mask. Her dark eyes peers back at her ‘mother’s’ in shock before mumbling, “Mama?”

“Mama!?” Jessica screams in surprise before she quickly studies the now unmasked girl and the paling spiderwoman. The similar way their wide eyes meet each other while their matching jawlines stuck in an a gasps expression. They definitely looked the part…

(Y/N) was the first one to move as she slowly lifts her trembling hands up to the girl’s face and cups it in a gentle grasp. She carefully traces her features with a haunted look on her face, almost like she was looking for something in her face, or maybe someone. As realization forms in her face that this was in fact her child, tears began to bubble in her waterline as her lips trembled.

“You’re my baby?...I have a daughter…” She says outloud before gently tracing under Maria’s eye with a look of disbelief and love. Maria’s own eyes burn as she sees her mother’s face in her clone as she nods. “Yea…My name is Maria…Maria O’Hara.”

And with that new revelation, the cheery spider faints due to the shock while Jessica yells out for help while Hobie was frozen due to the fact that not only that Miguel O’Hara and his delightful sidekick have a child from a different dimension, but that she was actually hot.

~~~~~~~

Safe to say, Miguel was not happy. 

After Lyla successfully rebooted and came back online, Miguel went to dimension 1784-B and recaptured the Hobgoblin. He never felt such satisfaction than when he tackled the flying witch out of the sky and tore apart her glider with his bare hands. He wasn’t very pleased that the villain easily gotten her hands on one of the gizmos and some prototype traps he was working on, so he made sure that the femal hobgoblin would never dare attempt to do anything like that again.

.After he returned to the surveillance platform, his annoyance grew as he hears that not only did some spider woman he had no idea about came into the Lobby, but that some incident caused his sunshine to be taken to the infirmary. 

“Lyla,” The annoyed man calls to the AI as he walks towards the infirmary. A tiny version of his fur coat wearing digital assistant appears on his shoulder as he focuses ahead of him with a glare. He can practically feel all the blood vessels in his hand pop as clenched his fist as he thought about all the ways he was going to say to the woman who had the nerve to injure his amor. “Give me all the information on this spider.”

“Yes ‘Miggy’” Lyla teases as she pulls up the file. “Spiderwoman 1784-B aka Maria O’Hara. 18 years old and has been spiderwoman for 2 years. A student at NYU with an undecided major and lives with her two younger brothers, Gabriel and Ben O’ Hara and her parents…Oh Shit!” 

The miniature AI starts laughing as she clenches her stomach. Miguel growls at Lyla’s outburst and seethes. “What is it?”

As she recovers, she throws up a projection infront of him with a smirk. “Check this out. You and Sunny do get a happy ending!” 

Miguel freezes as his wide eyes look at the image infront of him with a tremble in his form. The image displayed was a family picture that was clearly taken at a high school graduation with a family of five huddled together with wide grins splitting their loving faces. The first to catch his attention was the vision of him standing beside a teenage girl with a boy no older than seven on his shoulders with a look of happiness and pride in his gaze as one arm was slung across the girl’s shoulder. He was clearly older than he was now, but the lack of red eyes and fangs made Miguel nearly not recognize him. Its been so long since he’s seen himself before becoming spiderman… The next thing that caught his attention was an older version of his beloved also smiling at the camera with a teenage boy on your side a gentle hand placed on his shoulder as the woman’s attention was focus gazing a her daughter with such joy.

The children were a perfect mixture of you both despite the obvious favour in appearance being on his side. He carefully examines each child and their features as he releases a shaky breath as a single tear escapes his eye. 

This was impossible…How can you two have a family somewhere in the spiderverse and he didn’t know? the two have a family…they got married…she gave him the most beautiful children he could ever dream of and they both weren’t spidermen…they met and fell in love with out the worry of the universe on their shoulders…But their daughter…Their girl has this…burden instead…

“Miguel?” The unease in the AI’s voice brings him back to reality as he rubs his eyes. 

“I’m fine.” He snaps as he materializes his mask back onto his face. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~

“So we are all connected by this weird multiverse of spidermen?” Maria questions as she quips an eyebrow as she looks at the other teen.

“Yep.” Gwen nods as she leans back in the chair. 

The group were huddled around the hospital bed as their cheerful friend laid in bed unconscious. Upon pouncing the new spider about her life and what life was like on her dimension, Gwen took the initiative and began explaining about the Spiderverse, careful to avoid talking about the girl’s variant spider parents.

“And this is a team of Spiderpeople that goes around and makes sure that the events of their life goes on course? Like the time police? Does that mean theres other versions of me? “ She rapidly askes the punk. The blonde chuckles as she can definitely see how much of Sunny was actually in this girl. 

“Yep and kinda like that. We make sure the canon goes as planned so your universe doesn’t collapse. And when it comes to the other versions of you…” Gwen looks towards the unconscious spider before meet her ‘daughter’s’ curious gaze. “If theres other versions of Sunny and Miguel, then there is other versions of you.”

“Wait. Is there a spiderman version of my dad?” She asks as the door opens.

Jessica looks up from watching her phone and smiles at Miguel while Hobie curses. Miguel’s mask fades away as Hobie begins to speak.

“Look boss, the kid didn’t mean to…”

“Are you alright, Maria?” Miguel’s uncharacteristicially soft voice interrupts Hobie’s defense as his ruby eyes locked on the girl.

His rapid heart flooded his senses as he looked over his ‘daughter’. She didn’t look like Gabriella like he thought he would, even though he already seen her face. She looked like his sunshine despite her having a majority of his features. She was his girl, his beloved’s child…

“Um yea…”The starstruck girl mumbles as she looks at the variant of her father. Unlike the unconscious variant of her mom, the age wasn’t the biggest indicate that he was different from her dad, it was the gentle red eyes and the fangs peeking out from his lips. “Holy shit, you’re cool…” She accidentially admits out loud which causes the man to chuckle.

“Oye, no maldigas delante de tus padres, pequeña araña.” He playfully scolds before he starts fiddling with his gizmo. “I think its time you head home now. Its almost time for dinner and I’m sure ‘I’ wouldn’t like for you to be late.”

A portal opens beside them as Maria smiles at Miguel. “Cool…can I have one of those?”

“Absolutely not.”

“Well it was worth a try.” Maria giggles as she walks up to the portal before looking at Miguel concerned. “What about that Hobgoblin? And about…” The teenager looks towards her sleeping ‘mom’.

“I took care of it for you and don’t worry about her.” Miguel chuckles as he gazes lovingly at his love. “Yo siempre cuido de tu madre, ¿no?”

Maria grins as she feels giddy over the idea that no matter what dimension, her parents will always love each other.

“Yep and word of advice, stop having kids after one!” She jokes as she steps into the portal and goes home.

~~~~~~~

A soft groan emits from the bed as Miguel looks up from his book. The sleepy eyes of his love meets his as he leans over and caresses his cheek. 

“Good morning, mi amor…you had a good rest?” He coos as he pushes the hair away from her face. 

Tears prickle in her sleepy gaze as the memory of her new friend came back. In a horse whisper, she tearfully asks, “Did you see her? Did you meet our girl?” A smile forms on her face as Miguel nods and rests his forehead against hers.

“Sí, mi amor. Y ella era perfecta.”

~~~~~~

As the portal closes behind her, Maria looks around with a breath of relief as she sees shes in her bedroom back home. 

“Thank god that’s over-!”

Before the stress could finally leave her chest, a shattering sound of a phone screen snaps her attention to her brother Gabriel looking at her in shock. Maria looks horrified as she realizes she is in the middle of her bedroom in her spidersuit and unmasked infront of her little brother…

“SHIT!!!”

Hey, idk if you take requests, but I started following you because of your Rodrick fics and I wanted to see if you could do one where Rod is a like, 'popular outcast', and reader just doesn't fit in anywhere. Rod is more loud and kinda extroverted, while reader is more to thenself and reserved, but they get along well and find comfort in being outcast together and stuff. I love all of your work btw, and I loved that Steve fic you posted recently:)

She keeps to herself, Rodrick Heffley 

A/N: Truthfully I haven't written in a while in general and for Rodrick specifically, I wonder how many of you followed me just for him lol. Don't worry, I still write for him. Thank you for this request and I hope you like it <3.  

When it came to school, you found yourself somehow more isolated than ever. Over the years, you’d gotten used to it. The loud kids, wandering eyes and little comments. Really it wasn’t that bad, you came, did your work and left. But every once in a while, one of your teachers would say those five words that would completely ruin your routine. 

“No, you can’t work alone.” 

And suddenly you were thrown into a group of basically strangers and forced to work together. It was the worst in situations like this. You were working with three boys. All of which knew one another and were even friends. Leaving you to again be the outsider. Great. 

The school bell rings and like every other student, you were out the door. Swarming the hallway with the goal of leaving as fast and as soon as possible. Pushing yourself through the crowd, you combatted the noise with music. Once you were at your locker you throw your bag onto the floor but before opening it there's a nudge on your shoulder. People bumped into you often. As long as it wasn't too bad, you didn’t acknowledge it. But people clearly trying to get your attention was something you couldn't ignore. 

Hesitant, you peeled back your headphones and turned to see who was trying to speak to you. 

“Hey.” A tall dark haired body spoke. 

“Hi?” 

“y/n right?” 

He asks with a more enthusiastic expression than others who you’d been in this position with. It was a boy from your class, one of the ones you were grouped with. Rodrick, that was his name. 

“Yeah.” You were honestly confused as to why he wanted to talk to you. 

With group projects, you normally only worked in class or just divided the work and left it at that, but Rodrick and his friends were different. He and the two other boys were in a band together called “Löded Diper”. It was spray-painted on the side of Rodrick’s van. They were planning to meet up after school today and practice, so he invited you over so the four of you could work on the project. At first, you were unsure of whether you should accept the invite, but ultimately meeting in person meant getting more done, so you thought why not.

The car ride is quick, it's made easier with music blocking out the boy's conversation. You keep to yourself, sitting in the passenger seat next to Rodrick while he drives. At his house you found a comfortable spot on the couch, but before any work could be done the boys needed to get some practice in. 

“Do you maybe wanna watch us practice ?”

“Oh, uh no, I’m fine.” You try to let him down gently. 

“Oh come on.” Rodrick tilted his head to the side. “You’ll be the first to hear our new song.” 

It was an honestly intriguing offer. You’d never heard of  “Löded Diper” before, so you really had no idea what to expect. 

“Sure.” 

“Yes!” He pumped his fist. “She said yes, guys.” Rodrick yelled to Ben and Chris.

For the next hour, you were the boy's one-person audience. Truthfully their music was interesting, it was loud with decent lyrics, not out right bad but just interesting. 

“What do you think ?” Rodrick asked you, actually curious about your opinion. “Do you like it?”

“It's good.” You told them with a slight smile and nod. “I really liked the… uh drumming.” 

With practice out of the way, the four of you made your way to Rodrick's bedroom and started working. It was the first day, so you didn't expect much to get done, and truthfully not much was done. But in an odd way the day still felt good, fun even. The boys easily found themselves distracted with the random things that filled Rodrick's room, and naturally you followed suit. Intrigued by how personal, the room was. Covered in posters, various lights and scattered stakes of CDs and comics.

“Cool right.” Rodrick stated, referring to the poster you’d had your eye on for a good minute. 

“Hmm?”

“The band, they're so cool. What's your favorite song?”

You didn't have one. You'd never even heard of most of the people in his posters. 

“I’ve never listened to them before.” 

“You've never listened ?” Rodrick's eyes went wide in disbelief. 

Without a second word, he clears all the tabs on his laptop relating to school and pulls up a song playlist. He throws on an old pair of wired headphones over your ears and plays a few songs. You listen anxiously, almost worried at the thought of not liking what Rodrick clearly loved. 

“Do you like it ?” He was eager for a response. 

“I don't know.” 

You were honest and although you were sure it wasn't what Rodrick wanted to hear, he didn't make a big deal out of it. So neither did you. 

“What's your number? I'll send it to you.” He reaches for his phone before handing it to you. 

You typed your number in before returning Rodrick’s phone to him. Barely a second passes and Rodrick is already texting you. He sends you a few songs from the band in the poster and a few of his personal favorites, asking Chris and Ben for more to suggest to you. Some of them you listened to on the spot, playing them while you went over the requirements for the project. 

The day manages to slip by you without much notice, and suddenly you were back in Rodrick's car, this time on your way home. And without your music and headphones. Instead, you listen to the sounds of the atmosphere. The rattle of Rodrick’s van, the hum of his voice against his low playing music. The tap of his fingers against the steering wheel. It was almost calming. Once he was outside your home, you got out of the car, telling him goodbye and going inside.  

At first, you thought hanging out with Rodrick and his friends would be a one time thing, but soon you would realize that that was far from true. Really, you weren't sure how many times you repeated that first day. Meeting with Rodrick by your locker, watching him practice with Chris and Ben, slowly working on the project and ending the day being driven home by Rodrick. After a while, they all started to mesh together into this comforting routine. Once you carelessly got used to it without the overbearing thought of it coming to an end, it did exactly that.

And come to an end it did. The four of you turned in the project and were thankfully not chosen to present. Leaving class after watching your classmates present their projects you found yourself hung low by the fact that it was really over, ignoring it you continued your school day as normal. At lunch, you found an empty table, slipped your headphones on and started to eat. You got about one or two bites in before three familiar faces joined your table.   

“I bet we got an A.” Chris gloated. 

“Definitely.” Ben agreed.

Your lips couldn't help but curl into a smile. 

“I hope, so I’m basically failing that class. If I don't pull up my grade, I’m gonna have to repeat the class.” Rodrick complained, taking a seat next to you.

I guess your new routine was here to stay. Same with your new friends.

Masterlist Stage five clinger, Rodrick Heffley Drum Lesson, 🍋, Rodrick Heffley

[the--highlanders]

good luck with moving! heres a question for you. 2 actually. firstly tardis team 2 movie night whos choosing what? secondly do you think polly/ben and victoria and zoe would get on? (btw your fics are insane. ben jamie freindship my beloved)

ahhh thank you so much!! ben jamie friendship my beloved also, I really really need to write something longer about them. also relisten to the selachian gambit because it's so good for ben-jamie brotp content

I'm SO sorry this has taken so long also!! but I have been thinking very hard about what their movie picks will be. ngl I don't think I'm enough of a movie person to like, pick specific movies but I've been thinking about Vibes

jamie is just like, impressed by movies in general, especially in s4. so he'll go for basically anything that the rest of the gang put on. especially since a modern/futuristic real-world setting is likely to be just as unfamiliar to him as scifi/fantasy setting! he probably doesn't always distinguish them super clearly because some of the scifi stuff is closer to his actual experiences ghfdkj. I feel like he'd quite like comedies/more light-hearted stuff though? & some action stuff/jumpscare-y horror is just a no-go because he's not super used to non-live media making noises on its own, and sudden loud noises/being suddenly scared doesn't always play nice with his trauma. he'd just rather avoid it. also I feel like he'd really like documentaries!! he's super curious about everything and it's a nice way for him to absorb information through auditory processing which he's good with/used to and without the issue of learning to read. sometimes he'll disappear for a bit and the others will end up finding him curled up on a sofa watching a documentary on the most random stuff

two also has super eclectic taste but in a more out there/esoteric way. he claims he just has super refined taste when the others won't watch some artsy 12-hour martian epic with him (and then falls asleep or wanders off like, half an hour in because he doesn't actually have that sort of ability to sit still). he will put on the weirdest alien stuff that's totally incomprehensible to everyone else though. but he's also into like, silent comedies. he's such a chaplin-esque character, how could he not be (though he denies any similarity to himself!). and he's more into fantasy than hard scifi - it's impossible to watch any sort of serious scifi with him unless you want to hear a constant commentary on the inaccuracies in it. (by series 6 jamie has picked up on this habit, albeit with his much more limited knowledge. zoe finds this super disconcerting).

ben is absolutely the instigator of two and jamie's comedy enjoyment. he's Also a silent comedy guy. but I think he'd like action/adventure films as well? he's got like, a whole host of them that he really loves and is always trying to get the others to watch. I feel like he's the biggest movie watcher of the tardis team honestly, like going to the cinema was something he did a fair bit pre-canon? maybe it's something he did with his father while he was still alive, so he has fond but kind of bittersweet memories of it. & tbh I feel like being interested in the heroes as well as the love interests was part of his bi awakening. so he'd be the one pushing for the movie nights to happen, and maybe also more inclined to pick out alien/futuristic stuff than polly is, because he wants to see what else is out there.

polly is probably the one who comes the closest to appreciating two's more esoteric movie picks?? like they're not necessarily her favourite thing but she'll sit down and watch them with him. it's bonding time for them. they paint each other's nails and hang out. I think she'd also like kinda film noir/darker stuff. juuust enough that two and jamie like to tease ben about how many films she watches where the wife kills her husband. (ben takes it in pretty good humour. he's a wife guy like that he would support polly for this). also she's a bad romcom watcher in the sense that she likes to yell at the screen about all the dumb decisions the characters make, why the main couple wouldn't work out, that sort of thing. it's stress relief for her. she gets the others into it and the four of them sit there shouting like they're watching a sports game

[schoolbusgraveyard]

omg.. imagine the group having sleepovers or road trips.. taylor and logan making everyone friendship bracelets.. aiden making everyone wear matching halloween costumes(maybe aiden, ashlyn, and tyler as angels and ben, logan, and taylor as devils)..

pls just give me your heascanons on if they do anything together other then trying(and failing)not to get murdered every night

YES YES actually I started working on a fanfic where they were all having a sleepover/had it in my drafts for MONTHS and I was super happy w it, but I really need to go back over it/redo it tbh and then, y’know, actually post it somewhere. But ohhh my goddd oh my god all of the normal friendgroup stuff they could be doing............. adorable...... Esp the friendship bracelets made by Logan and Taylor tho, that just has my HEART.

I’ll use a few of your things for some of the headcanons, too, hope that’s okay! ^^

This is probably gonna get Really long

Okay so on the friendship bracelet note. Not really something they do, but when Tay and Logan hand them out, Ashlyn’s not really. Sure how she feels about it at first. She fidgets with it constantly, and literally only takes it off when she’s about to shower (or if it’s going to hurt her while she stretches) or get in a pool or something. She ends up fidgeting with it when she’s uncertain or thinking something over; it helps keep her grounded and also lets her do something with her hands.

Aiden is actually. Really careful with his. Like, scarily careful. If he’s about to do something where he’s worried that it’ll get broken or lost, he’ll actively put it on a lanyard or necklace under his shirt, in his bag--he’ll just take a single second to make sure it’s tucked away nice and safe somewhere before absolutely going off with whatever he’s gonna do.

God so the roadtrips thing; I feel like if they could drive (I know that the original Aiden could drive, and I’m not sure about anyone else’s skills atm) and had a vehicle they were allowed to use consistently, and the circumstances were... Different (aka not near-death every night), Aiden would pester the hell out of everyone to go with him on a long out-of-state trip. He and Ben would cover all of the expenses, and they could all just. Drive. Aiden, to me, seems like the kind of person who would just want to go, no real destination, no real place to be, just... Go.

Tyler kinda gives me the vibe of a guy that would just really enjoy just laying on the hood/roof of a car and staring up at the sky. He’d just get a kind of a “it’s calm and quiet and I don’t have to worry about anything right now” feeling?

On the note of sleepovers, I feel like the best place for it would probably be Ashlyn’s. Not inherently because of the graveyard, but where she has the murphy bed--they could all just spread blankets, sleeping bags, and pillows out across the floor and it wouldn’t be an issue, Mike/Emma would be constantly making snacks (they were being overdramatic and joking about ~pressing a cup against her door at like 3am to hear what she/her friends were talking about~ as well as sleepovers anyway) and checking on them, they’d be able to vote on a movie...

I feel like Aiden would immediately throw down like six horror movie DVDs that he brought preemptively, and half the group (specifically Ben, Logan, and Tyler would all just stare like “why? why would you want to do this? literally in an hour we’re going to pass out and see actual monsters and you want to watch a 45min ghost movie? and then after you want to watch another one?” to which he just responds with, “lol, yeah? perfect timing”). Taylor is kind of on the fence on it--I feel like she’d kinda lean away from a lot of ~haunted~ stuff after coming face to face with phantoms, but she still wants to try because, c’mon, they’ve all seen worse? they’ve lived through worse. how bad can one little horror movie be?

(Pretty bad, she probably ends up freaking out and clinging to either Ashlyn or Ben/hiding her face in one of their arms/etc. like, 2/3rds of the way through it if they even make it that far; Ben Cannot stomach horror stuff to save his life)

Aiden’s generally snuggly and physically affectionate (with a very weak understanding of boundaries) with everyone around him anyway--he would probably also be taking turns leaning against everyone, flopping down across them, or just kicking his legs up across theirs if they were all just sprawled out on the bed.

Taylor? Thrives off of this. As soon as he bumps his shoulder against hers, she’s immediately pulling him into a hug. Logan’s also pretty okay with this (and actually welcomes it! he’s just a little embarrassed), but he’s a little more reserved and withheld about it.

Ashlyn’s a little hesitant about it at first--moreso than Logan--but gets a little more comfortable after a little bit of the physical contact. She actually likes sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with Aiden on her own terms.

Not relevant to the sleepover bit, but 3am Walmart trips. Aiden’s idea, mostly everyone was ready to go along with it. Logan was a little hesitant at first, but after getting into a Walmart at 3am and seeing how quiet and peaceful/not crowded it was, he was like “oh. oh no, this is perfect, actually.”

Goofing off in the toy aisle, seeing the absolutely weird shit that goes on in Walmart at 3am, getting the Specific Sensory Experience of a late-night walmart?

[stackthedeck]

Okay I'm asking abt Johnny Storm

YES YES YES THANK YOU ANON

None of this is canon btw these are just my headcanons based around the fact that the Fantastic Four kind of have this celebrity status in the comics and Johnny really leans into it and also the fact that Johnny got his powers at 16 it might have been reconned to be older tho but you can pry the 60s comics from my cold dead hands

So Johnny drops out of High School to become a mechanic and then eventually the youngest NASA pilot in history (okay that is canon) but he's the backup pilot. He shouldn't have been on that ship, maybe if he wasn't there it wouldn't have all gone wrong. Or maybe he should have been on that ship, if he was in control it would have gone all right. But he comes back to Earth, burning like a meteor and he doesn't stop. And he is 16.

Reed Richards—the genius that pulled him and his sister out of poverty, the genius that thinks he has potential, the genius that got him these powers—is talking about a team. They've been blessed, they've got to help people and he wants Johnny to join. And suddenly the fantastic four are the headline of every newspaper, magazine, tv news across the country, across the world.

When they do interviews or talks at conferences, the important ones about space and science and inventions, Johnny shrinks to the background. Sue and Reed have half a dozen doctorates between them, Ben is an engineer and an astronaut, and Johnny is just a kid. Never mind that he's a mechanic that invented his own engines. But the spotlight isn't on him because he's just the kid

until one day, the spotlight is on him. The fantastic four move on to talk shows and suddenly it's not all science. The people want to know about their powers. Who are these people protecting them? Sure, everyone's powers are cool, but Johnny can light himself on fire and shoot sparks and he's got more charisma than the gruff pile of rocks (no offense Ben, I love that he's mean, he deserves it) and the guy that locks himself in a lab for 12 hours a day.

So Johnny becomes the young beautiful blond face of the fantastic four, America's sweetheart that can smile for the cameras when things go wrong. But it's better than being ignored and pushed to the background, right? At least he's not just the kid. Except he's still a kid.

Soon the team is doing more talk shows and celebrity stuff, it puts the public at ease, it secures funding for Reed and Sue's research, and it's kinda fun. People start asking about their personal lives. Reed and Sue talk about their engagement, Ben talks about his long-term girlfriend, and Johnny talks about...nothing because there's nothing to talk about. Except there has to be, he's a handsome young man, he's a teenage boy, he's a celebrity, there has to be girls plural. So Johnny makes people up, anything to keep the spotlight on him, anything that keeps the team in the public eye. And soon he doesn't have to make girls up because girls are offering. He dates around because he's the playboy or he's told he is.

And he's 16. He's a teenage boy, he's got acne, he's still growing into himself, and his voice cracks. And tabloids run pictures of him with bright red circles pointing out his pimples and bad posture to the whole world. Sue gets questions about her appearance too. Of course, she does, she's beautiful and the only girl on the team. But Reed is always there to put a hand on her shoulder and remind everyone that his girlfriend, his fiancee, his wife has a doctorate and she's working on some very promising research. Johnny doesn't have either of those things, so he answers the questions just to make them stop. Except they don't. His face is on magazine covers, but it's not his face, it's a beautiful stranger. He stares at himself in the mirror and the pimply awkward teenager staring back seems like the stranger. If he looks at himself while he's "flame-on" it's harder to make out his features. Maybe the flame can burn away the imperfections, but it doesn't. He spends hours on a skincare routine and even more hours at the gym until he stops looking 16. The questions still don't stop.

There are count-down clocks for when he turns 18. Except there aren't that many, at least compared to the girl celebrities his age. He's the playboy that's admitted to dating tons of girls, doesn't matter that nobody has seen most of them or Johnny doesn't remember their names. He's a playboy, he runs hot, he's easy. At the big celebrity parties, people are always touching him because he's warm and bright and the face of the fantastic four. because he's a guy and he must want this. And he does because he has to.

Models, actresses, and heiresses flock to him. They laugh at his jokes, they don't ask about his parents, and they don't ask about science stuff. They ask about him, all eyes on him, they give him the attention that the rest of the team is too busy to give him. Johnny is just a kid from a Long Island suburb and these beautiful famous women are interested in him and what he has to say. Never mind that Johnny is also beautiful and famous, the fact of it still so new that it slips his mind. These women lead him away from the parties and he does exactly what they ask and he acts like it's his idea. But he's still just 16

After a particularly bad yelling match with Sue about a scandal he doesn't even remember, Johnny's done. He can't do this anymore, he's sick of the parties and the questions and seeing his face everywhere. He locks himself in the garage for a week, no magazines or tv, just him and his cars. And it's good, he's missed this, missed being in control. Except one night during family dinner, Ben makes a joke about the tabloids thinking Johnny is being cloned or he's in a different country wooing some princess. So, he's not in control. He goes back in public, he does interviews and photoshoots, he goes to parties. The rumors are back to normal. This is his new normal.

And the strange thing is that he missed it. Missed the attention, the spotlight for that one week. When he's with the fantastic four, he's the human torch. When he's at parties, he's beautiful perfect Johnny Storm. When he's alone with his cars, he's just that kid from Glennville. But soon the Fantastic Four isn't the shiny new thing anymore. There are other heroes, some spider-man guy is always on the front page of the Daily Bugle. So Johnny gets into acting, modeling, racecar driving, anything to get people to look at him. What's the point of people building this image of him, of him accepting that image, of him wasting his teenage years getting here if people aren't looking at him. It has to mean something.

Johnny is 17 when Sue asks him who he's dating right now. Johnny shrugs and says it's nothing serious, just another short fling you know how he is. Sue laughs it off but says that she's trying to figure out who to invite to her and Reed's wedding. Johnny asks if there's going to be media there. She says maybe, he says he'll find someone. She stops whatever she was doing and says actually it's going to be really private, no cameras except one wedding photographer for their own memories. Just an off handed idea, they really hadn't thought about it. Sue expects Johnny to complain, but he looks almost relieved when he says he'd rather not bring a date. And that's when it hits Sue that the idea of Johnny that the media has created isn't her baby brother. Oh no. She was supposed to protect him and she set him to space, sent him to topple dictators, sent him on tv. They have a talk after that. She can't take Johnny out of the public eye, not without taking him off the team and that would break him. Johnny wants to be a hero more than anything and she won't take that from him, no matter how big a burden it is.

Johnny doesn't know how to talk to people his age. He misuses slang, he acts older than he is, he's too polished and perfect. He dropped out of high school and before that he moved around and before that he was the kid with a dead mom and a drunk dad. He doesn't have friends, he has fans, he has flings, he has the fantastic four. Until he meets Spider-Man, whose voice cracks too, who talks like he's raised by people from the 40s, who doesn't keep up with scandals and celebrity gossip. He's Johnny's best friend even before he takes off the mask. He's Johnny's worst enemy even after he takes off the mask. Johnny envies his spot on the front page of Bugle, envies that he doesn't care that the papers only have nasty things to say about him, envies the mask. Johnny wants the mask more than anything, but it's too late.

Johnny went into space as the youngest pilot in NASA's history and he came back down a star, brighter than anything, but it's only a matter of time before he goes supernova. Or maybe he won't, maybe he'll just burn out

Lulu and EJ duo hcs bc I love them /p-

In my version/rewrite of Lulu, she's around EJ's age and survived what happened with her eyes being taken, tho EJ is still older.

Both of them are quiet yet stern mom friends. Lulu is the nicer of the two tho

They were both each other first real friends. In my version of EJ, he was sorta a demon raised in isolation, and Lulu was kinda bullied for a big majority of her life and then ended up walking aimlessly through the woods for years and killing anyone she came across. So they were not good with social skills at first to say the least.

Lulu has scary dog privileges

EJ is extremely overprotective over Lulu, especially when it comes to meeting new people Lulu befriended, after she told him what she went through growing up.

EJ can be very impulsive and has major anger issues, so Liu and Lulu tend to be his impulse control and are some of the only people besides the kids that can calm him down

Despite not having eyes, EJ can still see somehow, so he tends to be Lulu's eyes.

Lulu was the one to introduce EJ to Liu. At first, Jack was not at all thrilled to meet the guy, but slowly warmed up to him and the two started dating. Lulu was confused- ("I wanted you to like him, not LIKE like him-")

Their aesthetics having have similar color schemes (EJ's is black and dark blue, and Lulu's is white, red, and faded blue), but their aesthetics are polar opposites. EJ has a more dark academia/grunge aesthetic, while Lulu has a more dollcore/vintage aesthetic

EJ is 6'7", while Lulu is 4'11".

They tend to unconsciously cling to each other. They do not like separating and tend to stick together as a unit. Jack feels like something will happen to Lulu when he's not looking, and Lulu is scared that Jack will either get too worried or will do something stupid bc nobody was there to stop him

They both co-parent BEN, Sally, and Lazari.

They met through Ann's mansion. They started to initially bond over taking care of the kids, and both realized they needed to work together to take care of them. Slowly tho, their friendship started to shift away from just being friends because of the kids and shifted more towards being friends bc they genuinely had begun to care for each other

Lulu is the brains, EJ is the brawn (EJ is also kinda a dumba**, but he's the kind of silent gentle giant type of dumba**. Like the b*tch runs into a tree on accident and doesn't react and instead goes over to Lulu or Liu and shows them he's bleeding while saying absolutely nothing.)

At first when EJ started to protect Lulu, he kept underestimating her bc she was small and blind, and he kept getting hurt something would happen. Unbeknownst to him tho, Lulu can hold up her own in a battle, and relies a lot more on her hearing rather than her sight.

Instead of Jeff, Lulu and EJ used to be Smile Dog's owner.

Lulu tends to call EJ either Jackie or Jax, due to Jack actually being short for Jacqueline (Genderfluid EJ hc bc I said so✨). EJ calls her Lucy, since him, Jeff, and Liu are some of the only people who know her full name.

EJ is desperately trying to learn how to cook from Lulu. The way she's teaching him is having him basically be the sous chef of the kitchen, and tries to show what to do and gives him prep tasks, while she does the main stuff.

They are constantly paranoid and scared about something happening to each other.

They live together with these kids

Lulu tends to be the one to wash the blood from EJ's mask and clothes.

EJ always is the one to wrap up Lulu's wounds, unless its an emergency situation, bc he doesn't trust anyone else to do it

Laz, Sal, and BEN will sometimes use Jack as a jungle gym, and Lulu finds it to be the cutest thing

In exchange for being taught cooking, EJ teaches Lulu medical stuff

Both of them also view Nina as their unofficial child and are both protective of her, tho Lulu is more of the person to tell Nina to stop talking bad about herself and throws positivity at her constantly to help make her, while EJ is the person to try and kill any person who talks bad about her and constantly threatens her new friends

When EJ kills someone, he always also grabs their eyes to bring back to Lulu.

ok. samwell college of music au. i wrote all four years let's go babey

eric bittle is this lovely southern tenor (sounds kinda like mitch grassi or ben j pierce) who posts covers (& sometimes originals, but always with neutral or no pronouns because he can't post anything that says he or him ☹) on his youtube channel and has major stage fright but is very talented; he also plays ukulele

he got into samwell college of music on a voice scholarship and his dad doesn’t exactly approve but eric was never the 6′2″ masculine football player he wanted anyway so why not go for his dreams

he auditions for the very competitive samwell men’s contemporary chorus (there’s like 20 choirs; chamber choir, jazz choir, a cappella groups (lax bros do a cappella), combined choirs, etc- smcc does contemporary pop/rock music) and while he’s very very nervous and shaky as he auditions, directors hall & murray see a lot of potential in him (with major grumbling from student director jack)

(the rest of this ridiculously long au under the cut)

the group is small, for a chorus, because the point of the group is not a wall of sound but a focus on all of the very talented guys’ voices coming together in these gorgeous harmonies and basically they’re like one of the best choruses on campus and all the male singers want in

so there’s jack zimmermann, who of course eric knows because everyone knows who he is, he’s the son of bob and alicia zimmermann, both incredibly talented and famous musicians, and basically those genes were in his favor because he’s mega fucking talented

(jack was supposed to sign a recording contract to be in a band with his best friend kent parson when he was 17 but something happened between them and the pressure was too much and jack overdosed on something- there’s so many rumors no one knows what’s real- and kent signed solo in LA & went on to win grammys for his albums about a mysterious ex and jack disappeared for a few years to be a counselor at a music camp and reappears at samwell, knocking everyone’s socks off again like he’d never left, except with a renewed vigor and intenseness that freaks everyone out)

jack is a contemporary writing & production major, freaky talented and sings like a modern day frank sinatra, and he plays like 20 instruments and can read music like breathing air and writes songs like if he stopped he’d die; his music is folksy and mournful and he plays all the instruments on his tracks himself- guitar, piano, strings, drums- it sounds like a full band but nope. just jack. he’s intense

“we all get nicknames in this choir,” justin informs eric on his first day, “we’re those kinda guys.” so he’s bitty, which he finds vaguely offensive (bc he’s not that short!) but still cute, & the rest of the group is introduced to him:

“shitty” knight (voice like colyer) is a musical education major and an enigma of a singer with this awesome, earthy, raspy voice that’s really interesting to listen to and a very.... unique style & look; he writes cheesy but shockingly good raps about social justice topics and he will sing-lecture you if you’ve said something offensive (he also plays banjo)

justin “ransom” oluransi is a music business & management major with an angelic voice you can’t help but listen to; he’s sultry and has an incredible range and does runs like nobody’s business (with a voice like daniel caesar or leslie odom jr UGH)

adam “holster” birkholtz is a voice performance major, wants to be on broadway and it’s all he ever goddamn talks about basically, he’s a belter and has a lot of charisma and starpower and he’ll charm the pants off of you within one note; can also play piano and irritates everyone constantly because his regular volume is like a level 11 (voice like the frontman of my brothers and i combined w/ x ambassadors lead singer)

larissa “lardo” duan is at the local art institute because performing arts is not her jam and she’d much rather paint; she’s a barista at annie’s and supervises open mic nights and keeps the annoying choir dudes from driving away all her patrons

“i’m not even in your dumbass choir,” she says when the group gave her her nickname. holster just told her that she was an honorary member and then started sing-shouting a song at her about how good she is

bitty’s first year is hard because he’s talented and he works hard but he shies away when anyone asks him to sing outside the group and like, he can sing to a camera by himself but being on a stage with everyone looking at you and the sole responsibility of the song on your shoulders is terrifying and no thanks

jack does not. understand this. he’s been performing practically since he came out of the womb and he doesn’t really get performance nerves (what he gets is anxiety about how he did after he gets off stage that follows him home and makes it so he can’t sleep) - so he bothers bitty about it constantly like “you just need practice, you just have to sing by yourself a lot and then you’ll get over it” which like.... that’s true but it’s also hella scary and bitty’s like “no thanks!!!!”

but jack’s annoying and intense so he makes bitty do open mic with him every saturday night and it’s going okay and bitty loves his choir and loves his school and these new friends he’s making and he finally feels comfortable enough to come out to them during his second term

then during their spring choral showcase at the end of his freshman year bitty has a solo and he’s worked really hard on it and he’s feeling good- okay he’s completely freaked out but he’s trying to feel good- but when he gets up on stage there’s so many people and the stage lights are so hot on his face and he flips out a little and maybe he passes out from anxiety and stress right on stage and it’s terrible and he’s so embarrassed and ashamed that he ruined their set at the showcase

of course jack blames himself because “we shouldn’t have given you a solo before you were ready, i misjudged it, i’m sorry” - and they all feel kinda bad bc holy fuck they didn’t know his stage fright was that bad like they didn’t know someone could pass out just by being anxious to sing

he practices all the time over the summer and goes to his local open mic at jack’s insistence and it actually helps a lot because instead of a sea of strangers judging him it’s a bunch of people he knows and they’re all smiling at him and when he finishes his song they cheer for him and it boosts his self-confidence a lot

his sophomore year they have three new members- chris ”chowder” chow (voice like ieuan), an excitable music education major with impressive rapping skills, derek "nursey" nurse (frank ocean or leon bridges type), a songwriting major who can also play violin and guitar, and will ”dex” poindexter (like tom west), a production & engineering major who tried out with chowder bc he needed moral support and didn't expect to get in but impressed the directors with his voice

the year’s going pretty good, bitty’s still pretty scared of singing alone but more confident now and the open mic nights with jack haven’t stopped, so he’s getting better. and one night they’re hanging out at annie’s after closing waiting for lardo to be done so they can walk her home, and bitty suggests that jack sing with him one of these nights, and jack says he doesn’t know any of bitty’s songs and bitty says they can write one together half jokingly but then jack is like “yes.” with that Intense Look

SO they get together a couple days later in jack’s room at the house they all live in together (bitty moved in at the beginning of the year after previous smcc member john johnson called him- how’d he get his number?- and told him he could take his room if he wanted), jack with his guitar and bitty with his ukulele, and it’s a little awkward until bitty says jack should play him one of his songs

and, okay, he doesn’t really know what to expect because the only music jack ever released to the public was that one single he did with kent parson when they were 17 so bitty doesn’t even know if he has anything to play him, but he does- he starts playing these soft, sad notes on the guitar and opens his mouth and sings about being lonely and scared and unsure, about false starts and shaky ground and not knowing where you stand with someone, about expectations and lying awake at night and wishing so hard you were someone else, and bitty watches him sing and just kind of... realizes he’s head over heels for this boy and internally Freaks Out a little

he tries to put that aside and they start to write this song, at first it’s weird because jack’s like “all your songs are love songs i can’t really relate to happy love songs” and bitty’s like “listen... i’ve never even had a boyfriend i just write a bunch of sappy love stuff because it’s not about me it’s about whoever’s listening to it, they’re gonna project their own experiences on my music anyway so it doesn’t matter if it’s my real life or not” and jack’s like “alright while fake af that’s smart and i respect you” (what bitty doesn't say is that he writes about what he really wants which is to fall in love & be in a happy relationship)

they say they’re just gonna write this kinda vague sad song but they both secretly write lines about their actual lives so it ends up being really personal and real and raw for the both of them

they sing the song at open mic that saturday and the crowd at annie’s is never that big but they’ve never got a standing ovation here before, and some girl shouts “MAKE AN ALBUM” (it may or may not be lardo) and they both blush furiously and bitty’s like “... that was really nice, jack” and jack’s like “... yeah it was good good job you’re really getting some confidence out there nice work” (bitty: “THAT’S NOT WHAT I MEANT AAAAH”)

around this time jack’s really thinking about what he’s gonna do when he’s done at samwell, talking with his parents and his agent and looking into different record companies and deciding if he wants to sign with anyone or possibly start his own company- the head of a small company called falcon records in rhode island has been talking to him a lot, and jack talks to bitty about how he thinks it’d be nice to start small, and the record exec georgia and the producer marty had both been really nice and welcoming, and bitty’s so happy for him but also just... sad that he won’t be around jack every day after he graduates

THEN at a haus party celebrating their win of a local choral competition, who shows up but none other than pop star kent parson to Ruin The Fun

bitty sees the way jack pales when kent walks in, notices them disappear upstairs together and feels a little sick worrying about jack but chalks it up to the highly alcoholic concoction shitty and lardo had cooked up but nonetheless decides he’s sick of the party and goes up to his room and hears.... a little too much

and YIKES he’s standing right there and kent parson, pop star, two-time grammy winner, is looking a little rumpled and staring right at him and he puts his hat on and clears his throat and snaps at jack- “hey. well. call me if you reconsider. but good luck with rhode island. ...i’m sure that’ll make your parents proud.” and jack’s shaking, and bitty doesn’t know what to do but jack goes back into his room and bitty’s just kind of standing there like What The Fuck

so.... he kind of stews over winter break but tries not to think about it too much and he and jack text a bit and jack tells him to practice and bitty’s like “oh, you” and jack’s like “im serious” and bitty’s like “>:( it’s christmas”

spring semester starts and they're doing well in competitions and they go to semifinals and then finals for a prestigious collegiate choir competition and the pressure is mounting but they all are so optimistic and really feel like they're on the same page and bitty’s confidence is better than ever and then.... they don't win

jack especially takes it very hard, but then he also has signing to worry about, which everyone helps him with and he decides to sign with falcon records and start work on an album after graduation

speaking of graduation, shitty and jack graduate and it's hard for them but harder for bitty who feels like he's losing jack in a way, he knows how intense jack gets when he's making music and it doesn't feel like he'll have any time for bitty anymore so when they say goodbye bitty goes back to the haus and listens to his and jack's song and just cries

but, like in canon, dadbob has words of wisdom to impart and jack has an "oh" moment and races across campus to kiss bitty

they get together and the next few months are spent with jack working nonstop on his album (which tbh, he'd had many of the songs written already so it's mostly recording and producing) and texting bitty constantly and coming to visit him and playing him demos of all the songs

jack also asks bitty if they can record the song they wrote together & have it as a bonus track on his album & bitty says of course, so when jack visits they set up an impromptu studio and record vocals in the guest bedroom and this deeply personal song they wrote before they were ever together means so much more to them now

and bitty is so happy but so scared and sad too because jack is playing him these songs telling him "they're all for you bits, & a lot of them are about you" and he just doesn't know how he's going to keep all this love inside even though it feels like jack's career is at stake

he tries to shove it down and stay strong though, especially since he's now an upperclassman and they're taking on new members- connor "whiskey" whisk (voice like finneas or the male singer in valley), a music business/ management major who seems to hate bitty's guts and tony "tango" tangredi (like chaz cardigan), a jazz composition major who astounds everybody with his endless questions but also his ridiculously impressive composition skills & naturally perfect pitch (he can also play saxophone??)

i want ford in this au so fuck it she is a composition major with dreams to write scores for musicals and she stars training as a barista at annie's (aka training to corral the smcc)

the pressure of it all proves to be a lot and bitty and jack have their hi, honey moment where bitty's like i can't be this deep in the closet!!! and so they tell the smcc and also jack's label that they're together and that eases things a bit

jack's album comes out to much critical acclaim and shouting in the groupchat ("#1 ON ITUNES BRAHHHHH!!!!!!!!") and several months later, when smcc has already been eliminated from choral competition in an earlier round, jack is nominated for SEVERAL grammys including best album, song of the year, and best new artist

when the time comes he takes his parents and bitty on the red carpet which, everyone keeps being like "who are you here with jack?" and he's like "my family and my good friend :)" and yes it is awkward

jack wins... all three awards. it's the comeback everyone is stoked to see and when his third win is announced, he and bitty are so elated that they kiss before he goes to accept the award

his speech is basically just "um... wow. thank you. i just kissed my boyfriend on live tv. this is amazing and i'm so humbled. i'd like to thank my boyfriend and georgia and marty and my parents and my friends and my boyfriend"

obviously the press has a FIELD DAY with this but bitty & jack are honestly vibing and so happy that it doesn't matter untiiiillll bitty's mom calls and he has to tell her "mama i'm gay and i'm going on tour with jack this summer okloveyoubye"

the last few months of bitty's junior year pass quickly and he's voted student director which is a huge honor considering how much he struggled with stage fright and confidence & how he'll now be stepping into ransom & holster's shoes

r&h and lardo all graduate (the smcc basically crashes the art school graduation and all scream when lardo gets her diploma lmao), which is a bittersweet occasion and they all do a bit of tearing up

that summer bitty goes on tour across the u.s. & canada with jack and his touring band (snowy is a bassist, tater is a drummer and poots does backing guitar, he also brings nursey to play violin on a few songs) as well as georgia who's there to manage logistics

and tour is so fun & chaotic with many bi and rainbow flags in the audience that end up thrown on stage and draped around jack's neck and they spend so many nights in the bus drinking and laughing and fooling around on the guitars and bitty's uke and exploring new cities bitty has never been to before and it's the freest bitty has felt in a long time

summer ends though, and jack leaves for the uk/europe leg of the tour, and with the new school year brings a few new members- river "bully" bullard (voice like gregory alan isakov), a music therapy major who draws his own cover art for his songs, lukas "louis" landmann (like jr jr), an electronic production and design major with a penchant for EDM, and johnathan "hops" hopper (like keiynan lonsdale), a film scoring major who wants to write music for movies and video games

bitty meets and befriends some of the other student directors- shruti, sd of the women’s contemporary chorus; sharon, sd of the chamber choir; and edgar, sd of jazz ensemble (even chad l., sd of the all-male a cappella group)

senior year passes similarly to the comic; coach visits and sees one of bitty’s competitions, jack comes to madison for christmas, smcc does well in competition and goes to regionals etc

however… bitty keeps putting off and putting off gathering the songs for his senior recital

he has a hard time doing that because he’s so focused on the group and making sure they’re performing well and as they advance in competition, everything else starts to fall away

eventually the rest of the smcc has to lock away his uke and change his youtube password and FORCE him to choose songs for it and start preparing because he cannot graduate without doing this recital and doing well on it

he chooses (of course) a beyonce song, a few of his own songs, an ellie goulding song, and an adele song

with all that his breath hitches and his hands shake before he goes on stage, he does really well and his voice instructor prof atley tears up a little in the audience as does his mom

meanwhile smcc goes to semifinals, then finals, of the national collegiate choral competition they participate in

and i imagine bitty faces somewhat less homophobia in this au because i mean, he’s in the performing arts, but i think it’s still there and he also faces a good amount of classism from richer students and performers who think they’re better because they had the resources and money to be performing professionally from a very young age, and he has been practicing via filming himself on a shitty camcorder and posting it to youtube

but they still get there! and the national finals are fucking HUGE and a big deal and a little overwhelming

bitty’s stage fright is Present because this is the biggest stage and the biggest stakes he's ever had and he has a big solo in one of their songs so if he fucks up, he fucks up a national championship for his whole group and school

luckily though, when he steps on the stage with his best friends and sees his boyfriend and family and smcc alums in the audience and they perform their first song, a high-energy pop medley that always gets the crowd going, everything seems to melt away and it's just him living in this moment and singing his heart out

when it gets to the next song and his solo, he forgets to be nervous and belts it out, getting screams of approval from the audience when he finishes

(dex and nursey do have a duet together that they had to practice for many long nights in the practice rooms alone but that's neither here nor there)

their time on stage seems to last both hours and no time at all and then they're done, the crowd gives them a standing ovation and it's at least 30% r&h & shitty's hooting and hollering and jack's enthusiastic clapping that makes bitty & the others beam with pride

then it's just waiting, giddy and nervous beyond belief in their green room, for the judging to be over

after what feels like forever they're back on stage, arms linked together waiting and hoping for their name to be called and it is, they win and it feels like years have built up to this moment, and bitty tears up because years ago when he was fainting from anxiety at having to perform in front of people he never could've imagined that he'd do this, that he'd be the student director that led them to a championship

they get the trophy and a ridiculous amount of flowers from their loved ones and they all are just in giddy disbelief that this is happening, they're national champs!!! they are the best choir boys in the nation!!

they come home and the rest of the school year passes by so quickly that it's very suddenly graduation and bitty can't believe his college career at samwell is over 😢

(he and ollie and wicky take pictures together, o&w talk about how excited they are to devote full time attention to their band & wedding planning and bitty's just like wait you're gay??)

bitty got plenty of offers from record companies but he likes his freedom of creativity and he has a built in fanbase from doing youtube all these years so he decides to make an album independently (jack helps him produce & master it 🥰)

when bitty's album comes out about a year later, full of bops about being gay and in love and having struggled but come out the other side more confident than ever, it doesn't get any grammy nominations- and he didn't expect or need that.

what it does do is it resonates. it makes the rounds in youtube and queer internet circles; people his age reach out to him saying this is the music they wish they had as a kid and kids reach out to him saying he's a role model and they're so glad to have his music to listen to. his album is written about as an underrated gem that shines with queer brilliance and is sure to start a party when it comes on.

his parents may not fully understand the road he's chosen for himself but they're still so proud and promote the album as hard as any of his loyal fans (especially the one country-inspired song on the album that he wrote and dedicated to them).

and jack, jack who saw this album from its infancy to its release date, who took the film photo that ended up being the album cover, who worked with bitty to make sure his vision was realized exactly how he wanted it to be, is proud beyond words.

jack starts using his semi-abandoned twitter again to tweet "stream [album name]" every day and bitty retweets them sometimes, with just a "this boy. ❤"

and they're happy. they're good. they have come so far and they are reaping the rewards of all the hard work they put in to make the music that they truly love.

the end :)
