In the quaint town of Nightfall, Oregon, it isn't the dark you should be afraid of—it's the girls. The Lost Boys meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer in this propulsive novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Treatment.

Theo and her brother, Marco, threw the biggest party of the year. And got caught. Their punishment? Leave Arizona to spend the summer with their grandmother in the rainy beachside town of Nightfall, Oregon—population 846 souls.

But Theo and Marco are determined to make the most of their summer, and on their first day they meet the enigmatic Minnow and her friends. Beautiful and charismatic, the girls have a magnetic pull that Theo and her brother can't resist.

But Minnow and her friends are far from what they appear.And that one rule? Theo quickly realizes she should have listened to her grandmother. Because after dark, something emerges in Nightfall. And it doesn’t plan to let her leave.

imagining a world in which Simon agreed to go with Edwin and try to escape hell, imagining Simon developing an immediate and very inadvisable crush on the cute guy that just threw a grenade at a demon and Edwin's reaction to that, imagining the reaction of Charles Overprotective Rowland when he finds out that the guy Edwin insists on dragging along with them is one of the guys that sacrificed him to a demon in the first place, imagining the Night Nurse's face when three dead boys pop back through the door instead of two

I like this detail because if you are an indoor pet owner you know your pet has that smell that makes you feel at peace with the world. It's also been proved that liking your pet's smell is a common thing and helps you relieve stress and anxiety and to feel less alone.

extremely bold of louis xii to assume that ascanio, who has a reputation for conspiracy, wouldn't turn around and say 'fuck you,' after all of that™

WIP WEDNESDAY!!

His need to be saved was of far less concern to him than his need to save.

Maybe that was half his problem.

Where he once sought thrills in the Air Force, he now sought them in rock falls and avalnaches.

Equally as unhealthy.

Equally as preposterously dangerous.

And his brothers tried their best to save him, even when he didn't need saving. Isn't that what Virgil was doing in the hanger when he returned a few hours ago? But, over the years, Scott had become a master of pushing away those who sought to save him from himself. He'd learned how to close himself off when it came to the more pressing, serious issues in his life, if only so his family didn't get burned in the crossfire.

So much for that tactic now.

Yes I get lonely when the sun gets low

And I end up looking for somewhere to go

The words stung as sharply as the strings that bit into his fingers.

Jason never got to be 16. makes me sad.

Not to deny that Jason not being able to make it to 16 in his first life is sad, but I mean he did technically end up making it, and he made it to 17 and 18 and 21 and so on and so forth, it just happened "in round two" so to speak.

What I think is sadder though, is that depending on whether he was 15 or 14 years old when this happened:

There are one of two ways he would've spent his sixteenth year.

Option 1 (if he was 15 at the time of his ressurection):

(This is 1 year post initial hospitalization)

Or Option 2 (if he was 14 at the time of his ressurection):

(And this is 2 years post initial hospitalization, 1 year post escape from that facility)

Happy sweet 16th, Jason John Doe #265 :)

Okay so Ted's gonna go back to Kansas because Henry misses him and he'll struggle significantly without his support system/the life he's built in Richmond, but he'll bury it because he's determined to be a Good Dad™ now.

However, thanks to an advance copy of Trent's love letter book and a heart-to-heart with Henry that includes a "You're a good dad" line as a callback to Ted's admission to Sharon that he wished he'd told his own dad that more, Ted will realize that he can't possibly be the best father OR the best version of himself if he's miserable. Cue life lessons learned from his own father. So they talk it out as a family and it's agreed that Ted will return to Richmond and Henry will split his time between Kansas and London, getting the best of both worlds and both parents.

Henry: Cool, now I can see more West Ham games! :D

Ted: Hmm. Yep. Should've seen that coming. How 'bout we keep that between us, yeah? No need for Uncle Beard to know.

When Joel and Ellie return to Jackson Tommy finds himself reconnecting with his brother again. A large part of him thought he never would, after so much of Joel died with Sarah. But this potty mouthed QZ kid has brought his brother back to him.

They quickly grow close again, bickering, joking, small pranks. Joel becomes a huge source of reassurance when Tommy panics about if he is able to be a good father, and how to care for a baby.

This day starts out just like any other, but Maria has decided Tommy needs to get out of the house and away from her for awhile. His constant doting is appreciated but it is getting stifling so she recruits Joel into taking Tommy out on a hunt with him and Ellie.

The hunt goes well. Tommy finds himself relaxing, all three of them are joking and having a good time.

Until a stray runner comes flying out of the bushes, attracted to their laughter. 

The fight is quick and nothing serious but Joel took a bit of a tumble with the thing after pushing Tommy out of the way and ends up with a nice cut on his head and of course blood everywhere as head wounds always bleed like crazy.

Unfortunately this new cut is right on his scar from a certain “flinch moment” all those years ago and when Tommy turns to look at his brother after getting up from where he was pushed he sees the blood at that location and...

He looses his mind. Suddenly it’s the day after outbreak day again, the day after he was too slow to stop a man from killing his niece. The day he was too slow again and Joel ends up bleeding from a failed attempt.

Tommy freaks out, tries to apply pressure to the wound, starts begging his brother to stay with him, apologizing for not being fast enough, crying and hyperventilating.

Joel is completely overwhelmed with his brother’s panic, he was so shut down back then that he really doesn’t remember what happened after and if Tommy freaked out like this then.

Joel works to calm and comfort Tommy. Grabs him and hugs him tight. Tries to soothe him with quiet words and hushes. It takes awhile, a long while before Tommy finally calms. Even longer before he can let Joel go. They head back to Jackson hunt abandoned and Joel lets Tommy take him to the clinic. Seeing the wound treated and knowing it’s not anything severe finally settles Tommy down completely. 

Maria is not impressed when they get home though. What the heck happened out there?

I forgot I was washing my sheets and was like "time for bed :)" but my SHEETS ARE STILL IN THE DRYER AND NOT ON MY BED

[riccissance]

saw someone mention wanting to see an older/younger moment for taissa which i 100% need, and now i'm considering the implications of reversing the process for her. like, instead of her older self turning into her younger self in a moment of stress, young tai turns to older tai the moment she steps off the rescue plane signaling that she is forcefully burying her current self and mentally living decades in the future. she will not really live her 20s or 30s, because from the moment of rescue tai's entire existence is about crafting the perfect life to disappear into. it's a forced metamorphosis that can only end in tragedy

or, conversely, other tai is the one that changes into her younger self. because no matter how bad things get, tai is unable to fully reconnect with her younger self, for better or worse. she severed that part of herself so completely that she can never go back even if she wanted to. because tai pretty much hit rock bottom in season 2 and it made her other self come out more, but the younger version of her never came any closer
