A/N: I'd like to thank my two pretty moots, @kaleldobrev who's been always there for me, listening to mental blurbs and chaotic spews of unhinged ideas and continuous mind dump ❤️ and @zepskies who bares my energy, which can be a bit much, each time I spam her dms with life cringing memes and awaful reacts ❤️

Kneeling down on one knee, your mitted hands hoisted the oven door close as you hummed a melody to yourself. Turning on your heels, you stood up and gave the dining table a once-over before allowing a proud grin slip on your lips.

“Perfect.”

Then your eyes glanced at your watch. It was half an hour past seven in the evening. Perfect. There'd be enough time to pamper yourself in a relaxing shower and spruce up with no rush before your husband was home.

You gave the dining room another glimpse to make sure everything was in place before you headed to the bathroom upstairs, walking through the living room where the T.V. displayed a Soldier Boy anti-drugs commercial.

A snore escaped your nose upon hearing the phrase: “Just say no.” Remembering how your husband threw a fit behind the scenes at how stupid it was, to the point of getting Stan Edgar himself on the line for him to find an alternative to it. Because no way he was saying that shit.

“God, I sounded like a fucking douchebag,” He'd told you in his dressing room, a smouldering reefer hanging between his lips — the irony, after they wrapped filming up.

You'd giggled, playfully plucking it from his lips to take a drag of your own, “No, baby, you did just fine.” You purred, and his mouth curled up into a small grin, “The public needs that y'know…” You tipped his chin up, your polished, long nails grazed lightly to his skin, “You're America's golden son, right? You're the man everyone should look up to.”

“Damn sure they should.” He'd chuckled, leaning down for a kiss which you gladly welcomed.

Being Soldier Boy's wife came with many many perks, but it also had its downsides, one of which was to have to deal with his short temper. But what could you say? You loved the man. Ardently so; you literally fought the world to have him all for yourself despite Vought's disapproval of your nuptial.

You savoured the victory when you married Ben in a small ceremony without Vought's blessing. It was like a slap to them when Ben imparted upon them the happy news, he delivered them a severe black eye, especially the vainglorious bastard Edgar. Who had once told you that you and Ben wouldn't work out, for it was simply "inconvenient" for a superhero like Soldier Boy to be involved in a serious relationship with a mere… human; it'd be a "disappointment" in the public eye, as he put it. Like he had a say in the matter.

But here you were, with a ring on your left hand to swagger about, and happily married to America's first hero, Edgar and Vought could say hello to your middle finger.

To nobody's surprise, you resented Vought, and held such abhorrence against them for not letting you and your husband live the life you wanted for yourselves. Despite your personal efforts, your proclaimed triumph was soon cut short because Vought declined to go public and endorse your marriage. Not that you and your husband gave two shits about their approval, but the rules were rules. And their lawyers affirmed that a public exposure of your marriage might damage Soldier Boy's rep, therefore, Vought's; given the fact that you were more than thirty years younger than him. They couldn't have it said that the hero of heroes was a creep even though they'd tried to conceal his age when he and Phoebe Cates starred in Love And War because it started to seem fishy. It was expected, though. But what you didn't see coming was Ben's response, or lack of response as to put it.

Despite being even more obdurate about this marriage than yourself. You felt terribly abjured by your husband. You'd thought he'd fight for you, for what you both had, and he'd want to let the world know about you. It'd broken your heart when it dawned upon you that Ben wouldn't risk his fame and glory for anyone, for you. Reluctantly, you bit the bullet, you had to, for him, because you loved him, and would do anything to keep this marriage intact. If you had to compromise for it, then so be it. You didn't care.

To your solace, Ben never changed after the frustrating incident; he was still the man you fell in love with. He might be smug, crass, and insufferable to everyone but you could still perceive the tender side he had though he'd never actually admit it, and you never pushed him too much. You were subtle enough to know when to stroke his ego and when to tease it. He was a man, after all. But it was obvious; he was a doting husband who cherished you in his own way. He showered you with gifts, and pampered you when he could. And he was eager to have babies with you. He never ceased to express how rapturous he would be if he were to have a son. A child with you.

Sure, you had your own qualms about that particular day, and there was more than a time you wanted to have a conversation with him about it. But you couldn't bring yourself to screw it up with stupid doubts. If Ben hadn't truly loved you, he wouldn't have treated you the way he did, he wouldn't have brought you to his workplace to have you at his side — and to poke Vought's eye every single time. He wouldn't have let you in and told you about his family and his dad, about his fucked-up childhood and how he became a hero.

No, your bond was bigger than any fleeting thoughts of incredulity.

You crooned softly as you wrapped a towel around your body after you finished your shower. Stepping out, you rubbed your hair with another towel and made your way down towards the kitchen to check on the pie.

Oh, Ben liked pies. You found it amusing how he'd swallow a whole pie alone and wouldn't affect him one bit; a supe sure required a lot of calories. Sometimes, you wished you had his great metabolism.

The moreish scent of baked dough and chocolate told you it was ready. You opened the oven door with a protected hand and placed the delicious pie by the window to let it cool down while you dressed up.

On your way back to your bedroom, you padded through the living room again. Your eyes glanced fleetingly at the screen only to stop abruptly in your tracks. A slight frown made it to your face as you saw a picture of Ben and Crimson Countess together. You never liked Countess. Something about her always disturbed you, and your guts were right.

Your eyes roamed the headline over and over, dilating in stupor.

Breaking News: Soldier Boy and Crimson Countess are officially together, Vought announced.

You shook your head in disbelief, hand grasping the remote control from the couch, shivering fingers shuffling through the channels.

Soldier Boy finally found the one!

Your heart paced up with each press.

A long awaited power couple is now here!

Vought just shocked the world by—

And here's Soldier Boy and Countess's statement…

It was hard to quell your simmering anger when you saw your husband smiling face with that bitch between his arms. Camera flashes and clicks swarmed around them with an entourage of reporters and interviewers.

“Hey, Soldier Boy, now you're together, what can you tell us about the first time you saw Countess? Was it love at first?” A reporter asked.

Ben scratched his beard with his gloved hand, drawling “First time I met Tess was when Vought concocted a hero collab years ago, remember that honey?”

You did remember that event very clearly. You were still Ben's secret girlfriend at the time, and it was exclusive to superheroes, yet Ben brought you there as his date.

Ben grinned as if dreamily reminiscing about the memory as he continued, “And lemme tell ya one thing, this one is a firecracker.”

Countess giggled playfully, gazing up at your husband in the most flirtatious way, it made you gag with disgust.

You scoffed bitterly at the blatant lies spurting right in your face. That specific night, Ben had childishly grumbled and complained about how much he wanted to be out of there. And to spice things up, he playfully dragged you from the pristine hall the event took place in, and fucked you raw against one of the wall of some other hall, keeping your panties as a souvenir for the rest of the soirée. He kept teasing you through the entire night, riling and messing you up. At the time, it was thrilling and venturous. Now, however, it knotted at the tip of your stomach. His focus that day was solely on you. He wasn't even aware of the bitch's presence for all you care.

“And when I first saw her… knew she was the one….”

You couldn't comprehend what Ben said after that point as a deafening buzz bolted through your ears. Tears rolled down your cheeks, and soon they were streaming from your eyes as you stood numb on your spot. Your tears splattered on the ground along with your heart.

“Honey, I'm home.” Ben announced once he stepped in the house. He sighed, putting his shield down and making his way to the kitchen where you usually would be, making his dinner. He didn't take his boots off though he knew you'd throw a fit about it, but let's just say that teasing and screwing with you was his favourite hobby. His anticipating grin soon dropped and a small scowl knitted his brows when an odd mixture of scents wafted into his nose. His eyes dilated at the unusual messy scene in the kitchen; the table was flipped over, glass splints scattered all over the floor, freshly-cooked food covering the carpet beneath the dining table, and a chocolate pie was squashed into the wall.

With a pacing heart, Ben cried your name, and hurriedly climbed up the stairs. His feet darted to the bedroom when he heard you sniffling and weeping.

An audible sigh of relief flouted out of chest when he saw you. Your hair was wet and a damp towel wrapped around your body, but his eyebrow quirked up when he noticed you packing a bag on the bed. The fuck?

“(Y/N), the fuck is going here?” You scared the shit outta me. He wanted to say, after the shitty day he had, he just wanted to have you in his arms and play with your hair.

You startled for a moment when you heard his southern accent. You used to be fond of it, but today you were certainly not.

“I'm leaving.” Your answer came out curt, your hands tugging your bag zippers close.

You heard his footsteps getting closer until you felt his hand on your bare shoulder, “What happened to you, sweetheart?”

You pulled yourself away from his hold, hissing, “Don't you fucking touch me!”

He didn't seem to heed your warning as he reached a hand to your face. Gritting your teeth, you spun around with your hand ready to deliver a slap to his cheek. However, and no matter how fast and pissed you were, he was always quicker and alerter. Fucking supe.

“You don't get to touch me ever again you asshole!” You shrieked, yanking your wrist from his grasp, your wet hair stuck to your face, chest heaving with each breath. 

“The fuck is wrong with you, woman?!” He growled with a deep scowl, “Just left you all happy and giggling in the morning, is it here? Your time of the month again?”

“Fuck you!” You spat, clenched hands rising up to his chest, “You're my fucking problem,” You jabbed a fist to chest, though he didn't move an inch, but damn didn't it feel good! You blew another punch to his stupidly firm chest again and again.

“Fucking Christ!” He grumbled, and with one strong arm, Ben wrangled your back against his chest and caged you in his steel hold, one hand securing both of your wrists above your head, “Calm the fuck down!”

Legs kicking and hands tugging, you tried to wriggle out of his arms but to no avail, you felt so helpless against his raw strength. Your anger and frustration poured out of your mouth in a wailing, broken voice, “Leave. Me. Alone!” You bellowed, “Go to your fucking Crimson Bitch!” Two rivulets of tears drizzled from your eyes again, “Go to your fucking Tess and let her fire-crack your nuts, you fucking pussy!”

“Christ on a cross, do you hear yourself talk, woman?!”

His eyes widened before his eyebrows scrunched deeply. He took you off guard when he brought you down to the floor as he crouched on one knee. Your towel unwrapped at the sudden movement and you were naked beneath his eyes. His hands were still holding you in place.

Two green eyes regarded you softly, “You really took that marketing shit for real?” He thumbed your lower lip, and his free hand trailed down your naked form. “Fucking hell, thought you were way smarter than that, sweetheart.” You shivered from both the cold and his touch, his sinful reaching your mound, “You really think I'd fucking leave you for her?”

You couldn't suppress the moan when he stroked your throbbing clit. A shot of arousal seeped out of your opening much to Ben's satisfaction. Anger made the colour of your face rise, “Fuck you! Fuck your bitch! Fuck Vought!” You spat, your eyes burning holes into his as he proceeded toying with your flesh until your voice broke, “Y-You want me to buy your shit — Ah!” Two of his thick and expert digits entered your slit, massaging your love spots thoroughly. “After you didn't stand up for our marriage?!” You groaned, hips rolling to the rhythm of his fingers.

“Is that so?” His brow quirked up amusedly. Was this funny to this bastard? Was your marriage some kind of a joke to him?

You gasped as he deliberately hit your weak spot; sweet, delightful coils fluttered at the tip of your stomach, “I was under the fucking impression that you had your pretty, little head wrapped around how this fucking business worked!” He snarled.

“Fuck you! I hate you!” Your body snapped as you came abundantly on his fingers which made him grin slyly down at you.

You felt his grip on your wrists loosen, so you took your window and jerked yourself free. He was shocked when you pushed him down on the floor and straddled his hips, your dripping cunt was drenching his pants with your cum. He raised a playful brow at you but soon was replaced by a shocked frown when you slapped his irritatingly handsome face.

“Fucking hell, you fucking little ballbuster—”

You shushed him with a finger on his lips, “You're fucking mine, Benjamin, you hear me! You're fucking mine!” You hissed, having no idea where your vigour came from as you tore his shirt off of his chest. His length poked you when you gazed with searing fire in your eyes at his, “You. Belong. To. Me.” You furiously tucked his pants and boxers down, his cock springing out with life.

A wanton moan came off your lips as you sunk yourself down his cock, whereas he grumbled in pleasure as you hugged him tightly with your wet and warm insides.

You snapped your hips harshly and he growled, “Fuck, doll—!”

Another snap, your voice was laboured, “I own you. You're married not to that whore, not to Vought, but to me!”

Your skin slammed against his meat vehemently as you gritted your teeth when another orgasm was spiralling in your body. You paced up your movement, a hand banging demandingly on his chest, “Say it! You're fucking mine!”

“Holy shit!” You watched his eyes roll backwards as he rasped, “Yours, babe,”

“Holy fuck, Ben! Ben, I'm coming again!”

That was his cue to take control again. He sat up, cradling you in his warm hold, “Cum to me, babe, fucking soak my cock.” You wabled his name, clinging to his shoulders as your climax stormed out of your body like a mad hurricane. You whimpered pathetically when his two large hands on your hips kept making you ride him through your high.

“Fucking stupid girl,” He growled, shooting his seed up your insides.

With laboured breaths, you glared at each other. You felt his cock softening inside of you, “Fucking idiot man.” You scoffed.

He chuckled with a boyish grin on his sweaty face, “That was fucking hot, think I like this wild side of you, darlin'”

You snickered, “You bet, wait until you see what I'm gonna do with that little fuck, Edgar.”

Ben rumbled a deep chortle, much to your annoyance, would this man ever take you seriously? “I swear to fucking Christ, Ben, if they—you don't break off that stupid shit with Countess and go public about us, I'll fucking burn that fucking tower to the fucking ground, because I'm fucking done with this—mhmmm!”

He cut you off with a scorching kiss and its heat made you thaw against his lips. His cock twitched inside of you.

“Jealousy looks pretty on you though, sweetheart” He teased, his lips brushing to yours.

God, damn this man and his endless ego! “Ben!” You nudged him playfully.

“Can't wait to see you wanting to snatch some ladies' heads off when we go to balls together.”

You smiled at him, biting on your bottom lip. The idea of finally being acknowledged as Ben's wife warmed your heart, and his willingness to do so made your heart race. However, disturbing thoughts loomed in your head again, “Think Vought will let us be?” You asked with hesitation. Fuck, that shit really got too deep into you.

He rolled his eyes, “Try not to work your pretty head hard 'bout this, doll,” He tucked a tress of your hair behind your ear, “The man who fucking beat the Nazis can handle some sweaty fucknuts at Vought.” There was something warmly reassuring about his smugness.

“See? All that shit wouldn't happen if you didn't stay silent while they fucking tried to play their fucking game!”

Ben chuckled, “Well, the fucking was totally worth it.”

You groaned in frustration, “Ben… I thought you abandoned me.”

Your husband furrowed his brows at you, “You women hardly think sometimes, don't you?” You scowled at his remark but he sighed, cradling your cheeks in his warm hands, “I fucking fought to make you my wife. I fucking put my whole career and name at risk for you.” You blinked at him, “The day before we tied our knot, I fucking told the boardroom that I was marrying you, that I'd fucking walk off if they tried anything funny… they didn't, till fucking today.” He sighed, “They fucking announced that bullshit before I was even told.”

“Assholes,” You whispered.

“After that pathetic act, I fucking stormed to Edgar like I stormed Normandy. Let's say that he and I did a little bit of chatting,” He gave you a conceited smirk, giving you no detail of how he got scared shitless when he saw the mess in the kitchen. He thought Vought dared to fucking do something to you. And when he heard you cry he feared the worst. But of course, he wouldn't tell you anything about that. Because he was the fucking man of this house; if his feelings of fear appeared, the sense of security he provided to this house, to you, would crumble. And he wouldn't have that. Ever.

You, on the other hand, had a weird combination of pride and happiness sprouted within your chest.

“I'm so sorry, Ben…” You said, cupping his face in your hands, “I-I don't know what came over me when I saw you with her,” You couldn't even say her name.

“Couldn't have your man stolen away, could you?” He teased you.

“Never.” You answered, “And I'm sorry for what happened, husband.”

“I mean you did make it up for me, wife,” He flashed you a cheeky grin, “Though, I don't feel particularly in a forgiving mood… yet.”

Head tilting to the side, your raised an eyebrow, rolling your hips teasingly on his cock, “Don't push your luck…”

“Try me.”

“possibly in michigan” a creepp book - headcannons

general headcannons:

slenderman is british.

despite what people might think the mansion is way bigger on the inside

it has its own theater, bar, hell even a convenience store, no one actually knows how the store gets stocked

ben is too scared to go down there bc of that

the slender brothers come over every thanksgiving and christmas but offender is limited to the living room and dining room…

sally FORCES jeff to dress up for tea parties

jeff cuts his own hair but is surprisingly good at it

thinking about how smile dog is basically jeffs therapy dog :(((

jack has def tried to eat jeffs kidneys but give up cuz jeff woke up 💔💔

toby is an AVID game theory/matpat stan like he loves watching everything matpat is in so when he announced his retirement….lets say it was ROUGH.

slender puts all of sally’s drawings on the fridge and when they isn’t enough room he would rather buy another fridge then get rid of them

masky is like the stressed out older sibling 🤷‍♀️

ben has drank paint.

has a snapchat gc where they send each other snaps

whenever slender and jeff (or anyone for that matter) talk/argue slender has to bend at a 90 degree angle 😭😭

devon’s headcannons:

definitely butt dials people and scares the shit outta them 💀

going along with that devon totally prank calls people with ben and is like “is ur refrigerator running” 😭

her and jack watch reality tv shows (love and hiphop, dr phil, kardashins, etc)

devon’s fav movie is donnie darko…😁

she always sends jack funny tiktoks while he sends her reels

her chainsaws name is jellybean !

sometimes when she goes out with the proxys she brings fake slender pages (saying stuff like “bitchless” and the entire bee movie script) and hangs them up (but slender always finds them and yells at her)

her fav slenderbrother is probably trenderman

PERSONALLY i think that like the demon and jack are two different ppl so like whenever ‘the beast’ gets out it’s not rlly jack? yk?

so one time ‘the beast’ was fed up with jack actually letting himself feel feelings for devon that he brought devon to the tree where she got hung, to kill her 😁 but dw he failed but jack felt bad after ☹️👎

has told hoodie to ‘turn that frown upside down’….

goes up to masky and gets up real close and whispers… “i know what you are..” and just walks away..

maxine’s headcannons:

isn't quite used to newer slang so she still talks how people in the 1920s did and nobody really understands her that well...

she hates her cellphone and WILL NOT use it unless it's direly needed.

she definitely has a record collection but it's all jazzy and "old-timey" music and she does not let anyone else near her records or her record player

she would teach ben how to ballroom dance and then force him to have dancing sessions with her because her favorite thing to do when she was human was to dance at parties

slenderman FOR SURE banned smoking in the house but maxine is allowed to break that rule so she waltzes around the house with her huge cigarette holder bullying jeff cause he definitely wants to smoke.

she generally dislikes getting help with wounds and stuff because of all the malpractice that was preformed on her when she was human

the phantom of the opera (1925) is her absolute favorite movie and one day slender comes back from the store with the 2004 version and she literally falls in love with him right at that moment

she's like your grandma that 1. doesn't know how to work her phone (or tv or anything) and 2. says things that she thinks mean one thing and they actually don't... like for example....maxine: im sending lols jack: maxine someone died...why are you laughing out loud... maxine: oh i thought that meant lots of love :( jack: oh my fucking god bro

the effects of her lobotomy pop up from time to time when she's doing stuff so sometimes she loses the ability to focus and kind of "dumbs down" because people who are lobotomized often lose their higher levels of intellectuals and then she loses the ability to emotionally respond so slender has to help her out and keep an eye on her cause she might do something dumb. :(( then once she comes back she feels so bad that slender had to basically babysit her and he feels worse cause how could anyone do his love like that

IDK HOW TO EXPLAIN THIS BUT- maxine and slenderman compliment eachother so well. he's a gentleman and she's a ladylike woman and they just...fit perfectly together

her favorite modern (ish) movie is the shining cause it reminds her of the good old days and she would be like "ah yes i remember when people would kill at parties" and everyone else is like "what"

her 1920s brain loves coloring books cause she's probably never been stimulated via colors so she has a bunch of coloring books and people come over and are like "slender i didn't know you found a child" and he's all like "oh no that's just maxine"

i think sometimes she forgets she doesn't live alone and she will walk out of her room in her underwear and is like "oh great heavens my bad gs"

- love always, kat + devina <3

16 + 24 for eddie k!

16. dynamics with the other losers

this is all dynamics as kids apologies...

bill: very much hero worship/little brother energy as kids... bc thats bill! hes brave! hes big and strong (at least moreso than eddie). hes the sorta man eddie wants to grow into, even if hes only like. a few months older than eddie.

bev: i do think eddies a little scared of bev. like. just because shes a girl. i think it mentions this in the book? but eddies built up this sort of pedestal about girls and how they should act around him that when bev joins in, sometimes hes a little unsure of how to respond in turn. is he allowed to be a little bit mean like he is to the other boys? hes a little gentleman, offering bev seats and everything.

ben: these guys are like. brainstorming pals. theyre both a little mechanically minded. like eddie helps ben build little lean-tos made from sticks and leaves as a roof and ben helps eddie identify whats going on with their beaten up old bikes. these two can think through any problem if you let them think together.

stan: these two are my sporting friends... stan in baseball and eddie in track... going to each others meets/games. sitting in the grandstands. cheering (id like to think stan makes a little sign to hold instead of cheering). stan covering for eddie whenever sonia thinks hes doing too much running practice or whatever by saying eddie was at his place instead of training.

mike: i LOVE that in the 2017 movie, eddie identifies mikes bike. makes me imagine them talking awkwardly before properly meeting whenever mike is delivering meat. like. 'hey eddie.' 'hey mike.' 'well see you later' type of conversations. after meeting though i think eddie goes to mike to decompress. like mike doesnt have any expectations for eddie for hanging out, and just lets him sit and watch mike do farmwork. although eventually he asks eddie to join in, which ends up with eddie getting himself a little dirty and being okay with it!! especially since mike will offer to launder anything that gets a little dirty, or offer his clothes to wear during, etc.

richie: eddie very much uses richie as an excuse, in my mind. like obviously eddie is a polite little boy. but if richies annoying him, its okay if he blows up a little. if richies making fun of him, its okay to make fun of him back. if richies hogging the fucking hammock, its okay if eddie crawls in there and teaches him a lesson. its less so that richie is a bad influence (although he can be) and more of just. being a sounding board for all of the thoughts and impulses he can't share with anyone else.

24. hair

eddie having three billion hair products is so important to me. he has special shampoos. he has hair oil he rubs on his scalp to prevent dandruff. sleeps with a silk pillowcase to prevent breakage.

and then proceeds to put so much gel in his hair every morning that there's a little hollow noise if you tap it. absolutely destroys all his hard work

Creeps with animals

Feat: Eyeless Jack, 'Ticci' Toby, Jeff t.K, Hoodie/Brian, Masky/Tim, Laughing Jack, BEN Drowned, and Helen Otis/Bloody Painter.

BEN: Prefers lizards and insects but isn't opposed to loving bunnies and cats. Definitely researches different bugs and has a whole little notebook about them. Takes scary care of his pets and will go feral if you mess with them without his permission. Will talk your ear off about it if you let him shamelessly. Specifically likes to stick bugs the most. He collects small bugs he finds around the mansion and keeps them in jars. Names the bugs. Pet rabbit. Has jars of fireflies but lets them go after like two or three nights.

"Ben, what the hell is this?" you asked, grabbing the small buzzing jar. He hummed slightly, turning around, yet his eyes didn't leave his game until he was facing you completely. "Don't touch that!" he cried, snatching the glass from your grasp. "Okay, but what is it?" you repeated, crossing your arms over your chest with a chuckle. "His name is Greggley," he answered, placing the jar back on its high shelf. "I'm sorry, his name is fucking what?"

Eyeless Jack: Cat guy. Need I say more? has like eight fucking cats he found. Is way overprotective of them. Names them shit that will correlate to how he acquired them. Like, if he found them chasing a bird, their name would be some shit like "Birdie" or "Hunter" because it's cute. They claw at him like a scratching post, and you cannot convince me otherwise. He no longer wears shorts because of them. Gives them toys but is fully aware they will not be used. Can fit two in each hand. "You're not allergic to fur, are you?" Jack inquired. You shook your head quietly, a no. "Good,' he muttered. Opening the door, multiple cats rushed to him, rubbing against his legs and letting out loud meows. "Hello, princess!" he cooed, picking up a chubby calico. He rested the cat over his shoulder, beginning to pet its back. "Such a good kitty, aren't you?" he purred (get it? lmao) The kitten meowed in response, leaning into him more. "The cannibal demon man has cats..."

Jeff: He doesn't like small animals. Likes 'cool' animals, as he would say. Falcons, hawks, sharks, etc. Has a secret soft spot for sea otters. Would never admit it, though. Has had many fish in the past. None have survived for too long. His current fish is named "Bubbles" but he will not say its name. Only in his head. Aggressively nice to animals. Not allowed to have animals smaller than a cat. He will lose it. Cuddles with his animals. Feeds a stray dog. Smile dog. "Cute ass fish," he muttered, back cracking loudly as he stood upright from his crouched position. "Did you say something?" you inquired. "No, and even if I did, what's it matter to you?" he snapped. "Sorry," you ruefully replied, rolling your eyes. Sprinkling the food in the bowl, he squinted, as much as he can, at least, and said something else under his breath. Little did you know, he was calling his fish by its name.

Toby: Feeds every stray. Every single one. Cat, dog, rat. Doesn't matter to him. He has several rats and lets them crawl all over him. One is named "Gerard" and the other is named "Frank" because we stan My Chemical Romance <3333 Brings them places in his pocket around the mansion and in town. Never on missions. Kisses them on the head. They are chubby little rats, and he will not take criticism of them. They are his babies. "Toby, what the fuck is in your pocket?" Tim questioned, watching as the area wiggled around oddly. Toby moved his hand up, pulling out a black and white rodent. "Really? You brought the fucking rat to breakfast?" Brian joked. Toby shook his head, a no. "The fuck do you mean 'no'?" Tim angrily asked. Swallowing his food, a shit-eating grin plastered his face. Once again, he moved his hand up, pulling out another rat. "No, I brought them both."

Helen: Like four cats. They are not allowed in his studio. Many scars from them. They hide under his bed and get his legs when he walks by. Has run into many walls trying to avoid this. Does not trust them. Buys them that expensive ass kitty food and tuna. Cat treats. His cats know tricks for sure. They are mean. He jumps onto his bed from a distance away because of the fear of monsters under his bed (the cats) Names them after famous artists/poets. They give him even more mental instability. "Oh my fucking-" he cried, stopping mid-sentence to exhale loudly. The small black cat ravaged his ankles, kicking and thrashing to assert dominance. Bending over, he lifted the kitty from his limb, tossing it on the bed to continue his phone call. "Yeah, sorry. Mr. Sparkle Palooza bit me again," (I'm so sorry for the name)

Hoodie/Brian: He likes big dogs. Like German Shepherds, Golden retrievers, and any type of hound. Dogs go on as many walks as he can provide. Many, many treats. They are spoiled. He gives them scraps excessively. They sleep on his bed, despite having their own. Very well trained. "Sick em'" is his favorite surprise. Vicious ass dogs fr. Clips their nails regularly. Hates when he gets called a 'dog dad' or when his dogs are called 'fur babies' because it weirds him out. "Oh, godamnit. Can you fucking stop, you crazy asshole?" he muttered, attempting to hold the dog in place as the clippers came in contact with the animals' nails. You watched, amused, across the room as he swore to himself. "Need some help?" you joked. "No, (y/n), I do not need help."

Masky: No animals. Unless it's like a single cat, he's not down. However, does enjoy deer and other forest animals. Has been horseback riding. Enjoyed it thoroughly. No animals unless approved by him.

Laughing Jack: Endless animals. Cats, dogs, rats, mice, deer, birds. All of them but snakes. He hates snakes. But is super affectionate toward any other animal. "Jack, look what I found!" you cheered, holding up a small kitten. With wide eyes and a grinning face, he gently took it from your hand, cradling it as if it were as fragile as glass. "It's ours now."

the losers club’s (modern au) favorite video games

Ben: Ben is in love with Minecraft, and plays it all the time. He’s made a survival world for all of the losers to play in together, which they do sometimes. That, and Tetris, which he’s a master at.

Bill: Bill is constantly playing the mario games, no matter which one it is, he’ll play it. And he’s amazing at it, like shockingly amazing. The only people who have ever beat him is Bev (once) and Richie.

Stan: Stan doesn’t like video games, but when the losers force him to play, he doesn’t mind. He doesn’t particularly like any of them that much, but he’s fond of the mario games.

Richie: He likes the Portal Games, which he’s beaten multiple times. That, and fortnite. Because he’s a fucking nerd.

Bev: Bev, opposite to Stan, loves all games, but her absolute favorite is Legend of Zelda, which she’s also beaten a couple times.

Eddie: Eddie isn’t allowed to play video games. Sonia says ‘its bad for his eyes, and he’ll get radiation poisoning’ But he one time played Pac-Man, in secret, and liked it.

Mike: Mike, like Stan, isn’t a huge fan of video games, but he likes Minecraft as well

Reddie Zombie Apocalypse AU

I wanted to throw out some of my headcanons of what The Losers would be like in a zombie apocalypse. Pls feel free to reblog and add on to this with your own HCs! I feel like it'd be fun to create a universe together. ˙ᵕ˙

First of all, The Losers all survive. Don't @ me about how "unrealistic" it is, they exist above statistics. But just because they all survive doesn't mean they started out together.

Richie starts out on his own, but he has a huge RV to call home so it isn't that bad. He had it before the apocalypse but somehow its survived the wear and tear of the last few weeks. It's given him a leg up on surviving, which is great because Richie has virtually no actual survival skills. So he embraces the RV dad lifestyle and hunkers down in his little space, only leaving it to search for food when he needs it.

About a month into the apocalypse, Richie stumbles across Beverly and Bill. They're running down the highway, a small hoard of zombies limping behind them. God knows how long they'd been running, but Bev and Bill look like they're a moment away from collapsing, so Richie makes a quick decision and pulls over. He opens his doors and ushers them in without a second thought, and from then on, they stick together.

Eddie and Stan had been just the two of them since they'd been run out of town. They'd managed to stay in their apartment longer than most people had stayed in their homes (Stan's preparedness skills leading to them having a sizeable stockpile to live off of for a while), but once the town started to become overrun, they knew they had to cut their loses and leave. It's only about a week before they come across Richie's RV, broken down on the side of the road. Eddie's handiness with mechanics earns them a spot in the group after he's able to get their vehicle back up and running.

After another month of aimlessly driving around with multiple dead(ha) ends, the group finally stumbles across what looks to be an old farm. They assume the place is abandoned, but when Mike steps out of his house with a gun pointed at them it's very clear their assumptions were wrong. It turns out Mike's family owned the farm but he was the last survivor, and had been living there alone since the outbreak. After realizing the others aren't a threat, Mike allows them to stay on his property with him.

Ben, much like Richie, starts the apocalypse on his own, but it doesn't stay that way for long. After a while of house hopping his way across the city, he stumbles upon a teenager squatting in one of the homes. The kid couldn't have been older than 16, and explained that him and his brother had gotten separated after a group of zombies broke into their home. He introduces himself as Georgie, and from then on Ben and Georgie stick together, hoping to eventually track down Georgie's brother.

apologies if you dont want to talk about the xmas plot or think about it you can delete this ask straight away no bother

im seeing way too many theories about callum being ONE of the bodies. the other will be a villian(they confess to murdering the villian but callums body will be hidden and turn into a missing persons story. what i dont get is why would kathy willingly support this and watch ben suffer. kathy loved callum from the start and saw how callum brought the goodness out of ben, would she really cover up his death? rewriting character history for a plot looks silly.) . callum, jay and martin keep popping up as the good guys that might die. they say callum will be outside the vic and hears a confrontation which then has him entering the vic.

when i think about this year, callum has been erased during the pr plot and basically acting like ben is a single dad, he has no pr of lexi and will never get to adopt(as one of the writers on twitter said jay having pr is staying as lexi is allowed more than 2dads), the 'ben and jay' as dads being constantly pushed, lexi being referred to as jays daughter weeks before xmas, no updated promo pic for callum etc. the producer never mentions callum when talking about ben,lola,jay etc. its like hes making it clear that he wants to dispose of callum.

would eastenders really kill off a partner of bens for a second time especially when hes in therapy now? and its not like callum is some boyfriend hes his husband and lexis stepdad. would they really go there???

the executive producer seems to want to keep ben,jay and lexi on the square and seems to have an issue with callum as a character. idk i know none of us can predict but the callum theories are too much and its never ending. people also saying there has to be a coincidence for his increase in screen time this year.

i would be sick if the show wants to add more trauma to ben and lexi.

callum is NOT the dead body and i truly do not understand where that keeps coming from???? like it's def ballum antis putting it out there to make ballum stans upset because they want to be cruel for no reason. there is just absolutely no way they would kill off a good guy via the six storyline because the audience needs to be FULLY behind all six women, and them killing someone like callum, jay, or martin just would not be accepted by the general audience. it's gonna be someone REALLY evil that we're glad they killed, and that is just not callum

[tompettyofficial]

Caspian will you please infodump about Tom Petty to me? I'm new to Tomblr and I want to know more about him :)

GLADLY thank you so much for asking this made my day lmao

So I don't know quite how much you know about him already so I'll go with the like complete beginner biography thing if thats alright. So...long post incoming

Okay! The day it all began! His career as a "horse-cowboy" (quote @marrcartney 2022) began October 20th 1950 right. He's from Gainesville, Florida, had a dad (Earl, Tom's middle name as well) who was an abusive alcoholic, his mom Kitty who was very dear to him, and a younger brother Bruce. So yk the typical rockstar story, he wasn't very good in school or at least he didn't like it very much and he ended up dropping out at 17 I believe -- at which point he was in Mudcrutch and that became his thing. He learned guitar at least partly from Don Felder (of the Eagles). Interestingly enough, Tom Leadon was in Mudcrutch and he was the brother of Bernie Leadon who was also an Eagle. So he's got Mudcrutch right and there's all these people doing their thing (it's talked about in "Petty: the Biography" by Warren Zanes if you're interested) and I don't remember much because I'm terrible with names but I do know that at least a few guys thought Tom's voice was weird and at one point he was playing bass and singing lead at the same time which was neat. Oh also he played bass with Mudcrutch primarilly I believe. Ok so Mudcrutch right, and in Mudcrutch are Mike Campbell (lead guitar, neat story how they met but thats for another time) and Benmont Tench will stay with Tom past Mudcrutch. So in 1974, Mudcrutch decides its time to move forward from Gainesville, so they drive out in one of the member's (mom's??) van (Tom was not allowed to drive...another story...okay a few) and they go alllllll the way to L.A. where Tom ends up staying (Tom's oldest daughter Adria is born this year as well). So they're in L.A., they're young, they did well in Gainesville and they're ready to keep moving right. They put out their single "Depot Street" (good listen!)...and it fails. The band, well, disbands and you might think the story ends there but, to nobody's dismay!, it does not. Tom seemed to show promise, and he get's signed. He starts out making a record solo but quickly realizes he much prefers having a band. Enter: the Heartbreakers. With a bit of time, the Guys we know and love appear on the scene. Mike and Ben were there already, but now we add Stan Lynch on drums and Ron Blair on bass. And so in 1976 they put out their first record "Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers." It didn't do too well for I think it was a good 8 months, but somebody whose name escapes me found them and liked them enough to do some record company magic and get those boys on the radio right. Now they're off to the races! In '78 you get "You're Gonna Get It!," in '79 the legendary "Damn the Torpedoes," and in '81 "Hard Promises" (with the help of Stevie Nicks, a soon-to-be lifelong friend of Tom's...though they didn't start out quite on the best of terms). Now, between "Hard Promises" and 1982's release "Long After Dark" (arguably Tom's most underrated album), Ron Blair leaves the band and Howie Epstein joins in his place. Also in '82 is the birth of Tom's next kid AnnaKim. So this is the lineup for the band up until I think 2003 when Howie passed and Ron came back to fill in. I could go on about all his albums probably, but for now I'll try to keep this maybe a bit shorter than it would be otherwise lol. So fast forward to '88, Tom gets with Harrison, Dylan, Orbison, and Lynne to form the Traveling Wilburys and they put out 2 albums (one in '88 and the next in '90 after Roy's death). In '94, Tom had a rough divorce from his then-wife Jane, and fell into depression and substance abuse. Thankfully, he met Dana York, who he soon fell in love with and truth be told probably saved his life. He was able to get clean by '99 for the "Echo" tour, and the two later married in 2001. With the marriage came Dana's son from her previous marriage, Dylan, so now Tom has 3 kids. Next on the list is 2008, when Tom brings Mudcrutch back together to make another album. Why? I forget. But, I think something to do with the sake of nostalgia (you can really see in his music where he starts getting more nostalgic, one of the strongest expressions of this is "The Last DJ"

I think the impact Kenobi has on the sequels is kinda going under going under the radar

As I saw someone else say, what makes SW spin offs good is how they can give greater meaning to the source,

Leia's meeting and connection with Obi-Wan recontextualizes her faith in him in ANH, that's obvious

But it also helped improve the sequels, it's subtle, but it's there

For 6 years we've wondered why Han and Leia named their son after a guy they barely knew/didn't like or didn't get a chance to meet

And now we know, Ben Kenobi was the Jedi knight who came to Leia's rescue when she was a little girl, risked everything to save her, the embodiment of the stories she'd heard

Of course she named her son after him

This little thing just gives so much regarding Leia and Kylo, it makes his turn to the dark side that much more tragic

And this is what we need

This is how you improve the sequels, little things that add up, providing new insights on the characters, locations, events, and organizations

Luke, Rey, Grogu, Ezra, Cal, Kanan, and Ahsoka are not grey Jedi nor are they going to be grey jedi

They are all light siders

Grey jedi do not exist

There is no grey side of the Force, and you cannot use both sides of the Force because

You cannot have balance by using both sides of the Force (for the record, "light side" is something that never comes up in Lucas' SW, it's always "dark side" and the Force itself, implying that the Force is light) because the dark side is imbalance by its own nature, and light is balance

Philadelphia in the American Civil War - Wikipedia

This is where we draw the line these people are saying they want to enslave me and can and my kids and the max and everybody basically using threats . Offensive led to war and within the war the threats led to this and they keep issuing them and it doesn't change a thing and it does not enslave people. Now the Max said and that's what they intend to do as well and they're going to break their own back they're running around blabbing it and it's rude as hell and they're wrong to do so what our friend says is they sort of declared himself to be the target of abuse and society to be those who will make him do the job regardless and he would be a slave and they're mistreating him very badly. It is the result of the war its result of the Max plan as they intended this to be and they cannot break out of it or rise up out of it much they do a little bit and then they run around tortelling and saying they got him and it's horrible this is a terrible chapter in our history A terrible chapter for the rebels and it is a disgrace and I'm afraid that this is not the way to live and you guys need to change the tube it's horrible. Slavery was launched a long time ago it is starting to pick on African Americans and other races as if you are justified by saying they're not doing the job you tell them to and it comes out in all these incidents and flicks and what they're not talking about is in Philadelphia you are shouting at Ken that he's a slave and will do it you want granted our friend is right we all have that and the Max have it a lot and they don't say it that they are planning on doing that. And in a big way. You people are useless screaming demanding that he lives in like a sweat box and other **** when that's not what you do with someone of his caliber. Wrong he knows you're wrong too and it's continuing and getting worse. You have a problem with some foreigners and you're gonna make it look stupid and you did it back then too it's a horrendous thing that's happening and we feel bad for Ken and Chris and Will and Bill and myself and Ben and Sherry and Stan and anybody that has to put up with this psycho babble but really it is about you guys wanting to have slavery and to be able to spit on them and tell them what to do and you'll never get it and you won't take over and we're not gonna allow you to and the big groups are not coming to allow you to. We know this is kind of a scam and it's a play and it's a skit and it is not supposed to be real but you guys are running around making it real and it is a horror show you should not be shouting about slavery you should never see it to Ken or imply it to our friend and you have by mistreating him and saying all this **** **** and treating him like he is some sort of **** Boy and what he's been saying to you is look I'm going to have someone blow your brains out. That's all he says and later in the news your brains are out if that's what you're gonna do that's what we're gonna do to you too morlocks whatever you wanna call yourselves you're not rebels you're disgustingly stupid. In the Maxwell in a fast one and it's a very big plan it's a huge play let's say like a theatrical thing that you're falling for I don't see you doing anything and he says they did something and they are now floored and it was a huge thing and they probably will stay forward and that's when Andy at Shawshank Redemption is probably talking about it's something that people can't touch even in his death he's gonna be Levon forever and we had to have ideas like that and it worked but it's gross now it's going the wrong way it's off the wrong end of the chart

it's off the wrong end of the chart

mac daddy

What can we say we did it and we're getting beat and we're getting flattened and it's because of that issue with the bunkers and we went for the bunkers and we lost and the foreigners took it over and we left a vacuum and we thought they might but we didn't want them to now this is how it goes we went ahead and pointed it out we had to and the max had us do it and it's a fly in their plan regardless of their insistence it is a flaw. We're heading into the Civil War and we're going to have a bloody mess and it's not going to do a damn thing for us and we don't seem to be able to stop it. And yeah one guy shouting and stuff doesn't mean all of us but it's going around and it's horrible and you're wrong about this guy and it went around for 10 years and is very disgusting. A bunch of reasons most of it the Ma....gonna get screwed here very badly per

You Will Never be Me, So Understand me: Disability within A Different Man (2024).

A Different Man (2024), is a dramatic narrative film in which the story of Edward (Sebastian Stan) is revealed. Edward is afflicted with neurofibromatosis, a genetic disorder that causes tumor growth along the nerves of the body. This condition has manifested in his face, causing his vision to be compromised as well as verbal speech. Since Sebastian Stan dose not actually suffer from neurofibromatosis the use of practical makeup is implemented which provides a very convincing look. It is not comical in any way, and I applaud the film for the realistic look as it keeps the audience immersed in the story rather than being off-put by a bad makeup job. Edward's condition has a clear impact on his social comfortability. He is shown as a shy and nervous individual around most people he interacts with, only opening up after a highly invasive and taxing medical procedure removes the tumors from his face causing him to adopt a new personality and new moniker, "Guy". Soon after this procedure, an old "friend" (see the film if you're curious about the air quotes) from Edward's past writes a play about him, because as far as she knows he is dead. Guy then goes on to strive for the role he was born to play, but many obstacles lay in the path. If the the plot sounds boring to you, I suggest you check it out anyways just for the practical effects.

By using the character of Edward the film questions the way society treats people with disabilities. During one scene, Edward is acting for a company HR video that is promoting the inclusion of disabled coworkers. The taste in your mouth after this scene will be sour as it treats disabled people as worldly beings that need to be treated in an entirely different manner than anyone else would be. Interestingly enough, the film also contains a character opposite of Edward named Oswald who is played by Adam Pearson who legitimately suffers from neurofibromatosis. Pearson's performance as Oswald is too good not to watch. Oswald is this over the top actor type, who according to Pearson was pretty annoying to see on the big screen as he is nothing like that in real life. The inclusion of Oswald, and specifically Adam Pearson, points out the horrible message that HR video was sending. That being it is a disservice and dehumanizing to doubt the capabilities of those who suffer from disabilities.

Additionally the film intuitively puts into question the inclusion of disabled actors within. Why is it the case that Adam Pearson, a disabled actor, being in a film is a stand out moment. Does the inclusion of a disabled actor have to be this big event, and if so why? Also should a non disabled director be allowed to tell the story of a disabled person played by an actor who is not even truly disabled! Ultimately these are just questions, but the film does not to try to answer them. It is just asking us to consider things like this. The most intentional thing A Different Man is calling us to act upon is gaining an understanding of what its like being disabled, and being treated as such by society. As an able bodied person I will never know what that is like and it was something I never considered previously, but this film highlights the sometimes bizarre way we tend to treat people different from us.

Umbrella Academy Season 3 - Quickfire Thoughts

So over the weekend I cranked up the Netflix and binged the third season of Umbrella Academy. Another enjoyable run with its own chaotic shit going on has run its course

So here's some quickfire thoughts of it

I would've been fine if the Umbrellas and Sparrows did indeed settle their differences with a Footloose dance scene

Throughout this season I continue to be baffled by the inconsistency of Luther's powers, like Season 2 he tanked a missile but a swift kick to the head or a curved sword does him in? It just feels weird. I still think the seasons are making him dumber too.

Marcus was an idiot for touching the big ball of fiery death, but I'm surprised he didn't just show up given Klaus' powers

The Vanya to Viktor stuff was done extremely well, Luther was sweet in wanting a gesture but it was nice that it wasn't blown up into anything, nothing really changed and that's the point

I see that a lot of people are at least joking that the Sparrows 'caught the Umbrellas' dysfunction' but really it did seem like it was always there. Ben did make a note that the Umbrellas 'fight like we do' after the Allison and Viktor argument and there was at the least tension already there, what unraveled them was simply the same thing that unraveled the Umbrellas, they lost one of their own. Marcus died and like with Ben and the assumed death of Five, the group started getting at each other's throats and looking out for themselves

I'm glad we got to keep Lila around though, I was a bit let down when it looked like she'd just have the cameo

While I didn't care too much for Alphonso or Jayme - who seemed to be more rotten in the inside and using their status to intimidate and do what they want - it was a shame to kill them and Marcus off so early, frankly I would've liked to have seen a lot more of the Sparrows

I don't understand how Ben survives Harlan's accidental mass matricide since he too would've been connected to Viktor, also what this 'pain' he's talking about was because we saw their heads pop before they showed signs of labour, also babies could still survive if the mother died and wouldn't the energy just go someplace else?

If I had a nickel for every time Robert Sheehan got stabbed through the chest and then realised he was immortal I'd have two nickels, which is less than a dollar but still, it happened twice

I don't really understand why Five felt that he needed to complete the cycle of his Founder self, who lives in a paradox-proof box. Surely that means he could live a different life and his founder would not be subject to the Grandfather Paradox itself?

When did Lila get pregnant? Because quite some time did pass between Season 2, her in the Infinite Switchboard, and her in Berlin. Feels like long enough time would've passed to be showing, or at least not be drinking alcohol. Sushi seems to be her craving though.

So...does Stan come back at all or what? He got blitzed

Corrupted Grace didn't really pay off in the end does it, she's just a minor obstacle

Despite all things in hindsight I did like Klaus' bonding with Hargreeves, the problem seemed to be that he always had an ultimate agenda. It's a shame though that Klaus still isn't allowed to use the fullest extent of his powers

In fact, powers seem to matter less and less for some of the Umbrellas; Diego doesn't alter a single projectile, all he does is play with his own knives, we've mentioned before Luther's power inconsistency as well

Sure Fei, shake the beehive, that was a solid idea...

Ben's sulking got on my nerves a lot, he wants the role but not the responsibility

I did find it odd that Luther didn't pick Five to be his best man, given their whole JFK adventure, it just seemed like they were closer than him and Viktor

Why isn't Luther allowed to be happy? It was just a long-winded wait of the other shoe to drop, first death and then Sloane's disappearance

Was it not obvious to anyone else that the seven stars on the lobby floor was the algorithm? I mean it kinda stood out given that there were seven and it had an asymmetrical pattern

And the main thing: Fuck Allison.

Her whole turn is just terrible really, she was dumb for not being familiar with any rule of time travel ever (if Footloose exists Back to the Future certainly existed which is the simplest explanation that changing the past affects the future), then she uses her anger to be an awful person to her family; adopting aggression, emotional blackmail and literal murder and using grief as a weak justification. She's as much to blame for all this as Viktor is given that she's the one who Rumored Viktor into thinking he didn't have powers but she wouldn't admit that shit at all. Always the victim pretending like she had enough when really she just wanted someone to punch who wouldn't punch back.

And then the ending, where Allison gets to have her cake and eat it, just because she cut up Hargreeves head doesn't mean she's redeemed in my eyes. She got zero comeuppance for her actions and now everyone else gets to suffer the consequences.

Overall, I liked the season, there's more to go with it but there was a lot of stuff that left a bitter taste in the end, lot of stuff unanswered too.

Snowpiercer s3e8 thoughts: Why Are Y'all Like This

Howdy this is starting to get interesting again because the last 2-3 episodes were shit I'm sorry.

MEL ALIVE CONFIRMED OH MY GOD???

Os dancing. My sweet man. Although I kinda get LJ too, she's being kept in the dark and she's one of the few people in there smart enough to guess that maybe that's not good.

Also MRS HEADWOOD WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK WHY ARE ALL OF YOU WILFORDITES FUCKING INSANE WHAT W A S T H A T.

Also there's someone in her lab huh. My mum said "oh my fucking god it's gonna be mister Headwood". And no you know what? I see it. Remember when Wilford said something about him and she responded with "I feel he's still with us"?. Yeah, well. That, or Icy Bob, which explains why she's taking tissue samples out of everyone. OR. Or. It's Boki. Which would explain why his actor is still listed for S3.

The more I think about it the more sense it makes IT'S BOKI. IM FUCKING CALLING IT.

I'm starting to like Wilford because legit there's no way he could have set the volcanic ash incident up. How would he know, all the way from the back of the train with no organs to track or calculate it? Not saying he has no motives behind pursuing Melanie at all but still.

Till and Audrey... Yeah okay I'm seeing it. I'm loving it. Healing together mhm mhm. Audrey realising she fucked up mhm mhm. I stan.

Also that's just an idea but maybe Don't serve alcohol to the mentally traumatised nuclear power plant survivor. But maybe that's just me.

Ruth immediately snapping at Wilford. My girl has gone so so far and I'm so so proud. Kick the bastard's balls all the way back into his body Ruth, I know you can do it. (Sorry Willy I promise I still like you).

Ben not even allowing himself to believe that Melanie may be out there, alive... It hurts :((( poor Ben... Hooking up with Josie didn't help at all huh.

Sykes and Javi are so cute together, like even as best friends it's great and I dig their dynamic. And Javi saving her 🥰

Okay everyone, let's talk about the biggest moment of this episode: Asha's sacrifice. It was.... Man, it really fucking hurt, y'know? But all the same it was a fitting end, and her last moments, with Layton describing a better place for her... I feel like she was finally set free from all the pain she's been through. Like legit she was too far gone, she didn't want to keep living, and she died smiling, knowing she's free and that she helped save the people who showed her hope. It was painful, but beautiful. I'm sad we're saying goodbye to Asha and her actress (I love her so much) so soon, not lasting for even one season, but it was a beautifully filmed moment and her death is the only one so far that made real sense to me (Strong Boy, the Aussies and Pike absolutely did not have to die and it was kinda bullshit but with Asha? I felt more than sadness and anger. It did feel like she had done her part and went out in glory, saving everyone).

Also ROCHE AND HIS DAUGHTER... ROCHE IS SUCH A DAD I LOVE HIM SO MUCH.

My mum: Ruth is either the only one in there still keeping it together, or she's a great actress and is bottling it all up while exploding on the inside. (My response to this was to show my mum that meme with the dog inside the burning house that's like "this is fine". That's Ruth in this season).

Also speaking of Ruth WHERE IS THE FUCKING BOMB. She was the last one to have it, where did it fucking go?!??? Please tell me she just disabled it and got rid of it I can't take any more betrayal.

Anyway, I hate this episode for its cliffhanger but I can't wait for us to get Mel back next week!!! The promo shows her unconscious but I don't think they'd to through all the trouble to put her back into the show just to kill her on screen while unconscious.

eddie: very glitz and glamour. brand names for the sake of brand names. the gaudy ruby pinky ring... his gucci loafers... eddie dresses how he thinks rich successful people should dress, which means he isnt dressing like that at all. three different luxury brands at a time. chunky ass rings. wears both silver and gold jewelry at the same time. hes so tacky <3

richie: okay first of all i dont think richie is bad with fashion. obviously i love subscribing to the idea of him having silly shirts and funky patterned socks and joke ties but like... its a facade... my guy builds himself a mask to hide behind... i think this was in a fic i read but the way he dresses to me shows that he knows too much about fashion, not too little. he knows exactly how to exaggerate the flaws he doesnt mind showing to the world. dont take him seriously!! treat him like hes a childish manbaby!! just like he wants you to. youve fallen for his trap.

mike: mikey and his librarian sense of fashion... sweaters. vests. little glasses that have a chain. shoes that make clicky noises when he walks. i just want him to wear comfortable things i think he deserves comfort!!!!!!!

bev: she is a natural tomboy to me i Think... adam sandler type tomboy, with the oversized stuff. however, i think she learnt from a very young age that people (adults, men, etc) dont like her if she isnt feminine. and sadly i think shes very susceptible to what that crowd thinks of her. shes hyper feminine as an adult because of this. worries people will think differently of her without the makeup. without the nice clothes that show off her figure.

ben: i think for a long time into adulthood, even when he loses weight, ben wears oversized stuff. and its not fashionably oversized, its dont-look-at-my-body oversized. and i think hes more forced outta the habit instead of growing out of it. because he needed nice clothes for job interviews etc. i dont think hes ever comfortable all dressed to the nines like he is for work and i dont think hes comfortable dressed down in pajamas, because it just makes him feel like hes hiding again. he doesnt really have a solid taste in fashion because hes never really allowed himself to feel good in what he wears

bill: sorry i love bills 2019 fashion. guy who goes into the nearest. like. walmart or whatever you americans use and heads to the mens section and just buys whatevers there. like yeah he looks good but dude. we can afford better than 7$ shirts i think

stan: i love baby stan and him being the worlds smallest adult. this means. to me. that stan never has much of a fashion evolution. he wears his adult clothes just as pressed and neat as he did his little kid clothes. tucks his shirt in. buttons up neatly. hes very methodical when he puts everything on.

Theory: Stanley Uris was Murdered.

Tagging @vvanini I hope you can follow this okay it’s very word vomity lol

Okay So TW because this post will touch on Stan's death ad the methods behind it

I propose that Stan Uris was murdered. by IT. In his home on that fateful night. I think that Stan posed the biggest threat to IT and therefore IT felt the need to take him out before the battle even started.

Allow me to explain.

Okay, so, I need to lay out some basic "rules" or "facts" before I make my case. They are as follows.

- IT planted it's roots in Derry, and finds it difficult to leave, but still can at it’s own wil.  If you read the book (I honestly don't blame you if you haven't) You'd know that once the Losers kill IT for the final time, Derry (the Physical town) is obliterated. Buildings explode, sinkholes appear, things are flooded. The town is in ruins by the time that the Losers leave the sewers. The movies don't adapt this so If this is news to you thats fine. the bottom line is that destroying IT destroys Derry, like ripping a tree out of the ground with all it's roots. Because of this, we can make the claim that while it can Leave Derry (as it does every 27 years) it probably takes tremandous amount of power to do so, which is why IT only goes when the cycle is over. Why does this matter? Well, what if IT left Derry to get to Stan? The murders had stopped for about a week when they're all in the Jade of the Orient. Plenty of time for IT to cross from Maine to Georgia. Side Note: We KNOW IT leaevs Maine to elsewhere in the world because of King's extended universe all interconnecting. it's not far off at all to make the claim that IT is the same evil that haunts, say The Shining's Overlook Hotel, which is in Colarado.

- IT is omnipresent This is also a given, IT lives everywhere, and can fuck with time and space in godlike (or maybe eldritch like) ways. in IT: Chapter Two, when Mike claims "IT Doesn't know I know what I know" he's unfortunately wrong, because we know that IT can be in A) Multiple places at once, B) can manipulate anything on the drop of a hat (See: Stan being teleported away from everyone else in Chapter One, Everything about Neibolt, etc) and C) Knows everyone's deep fears. This is further proven by IT Saying things like "Beep Beep Richie" (although this is Horribly Horribly executed in the films, ugh.) and so on and so forth. On top of all of this, We can make the claim that IT can exist outside of Time as well, given that IT is immortal. SO, what's stopping IT from Knowing Mike was going to call them all back (Espically considering that IT TOLD Mike to do this?). Even if we keep IT's omnipresence to the location that IT inhabits (in this case Derry) IT would still have knowledge of where the losers are through Mike. And if you take the Lucky Seven/Chosen Seven route (oh my god I got theories on that too) you could argue IT knows where they are inherently due to their cosmic status.

- Stan is the "most Powerful" loser So, obviously all the Loser's are powerful, espically considering they're the ones who Defeat IT (Again going on to the Lucky/Chosen Seven theory). This next claim is going to be less focused on what the 2019/2017 Movies do because they are Bad Movies and that's a whole other rant. However, in the book, Stan is (to my knowledge feel free to correct me on any of this) the only loser to Actively ward off and 'defeat' IT on his own without running away. He uses his belief in this what is Real (birds) to ward off what is "not real" (IT). The other losers do manage to take down IT in their own Right, but Stan is ultimately the one to Really get IT. This is because Stan's character revolves around Belief and Willpower. These are, in some form or another, the ways to Defeat IT. the ritual of Chud is a battle of Wills. in the book, Bill takes IT down and Eddie does the final blow. In the Remake (ugh) the losers can defeat it Technically using the belief that IT isn't as powerful as it claims because IT's "just a clown" (Ihatethatfuckingendingsomuchugh). Stan being much more skeptical than the rest of the group in his ability to understand Reality vs IT's illusions is a powermove, and IT knows that ability doesn't go away as Stan grows up, but rather he gets more powerful. Stan is the Only loser out of the 6 who left that has any sort of knowledge about IT, where the other losers have nothing. Bev has nightmares, yes, but she still forgets them. We're told in his chapter (Chapter 3, Six Phone Calls (1985), Part One: Stanley Uris Takes a Bath) that he has some hazy knowledge of his place in the Lucky Seven, and even goes so far as to MENTION it sometimes, even if he doesn't quite remember or understand any of it, his knowledge of IT and Derry is worlds more prominent than that of the rest of the losers.

(page 52 of IT:  "Stanley, nothing's wrong with your life!"  "I don't mean from inside." he said. "From inside is fine. I'm talking about outside. Something that should be over and isn't. I wake up frmo these dreams and think, 'My whole pleasent life has been nothing but the eye of some storm I don't understand.' I'm afraid. But then it just... fades. The way dreams do." OR  page 45: He had been smiling a little. Now the smile faltered, and for a moment he seemed puzzled. His eyes had darkened, as if he looked inward, consulting some interior device which ticked and whirred correctly but which, ultimately he understood no more than the average man understands the workings of the watch on his wrist. "The turtle couldn't help us," he said suddenly. he said that quite clearly.)

So, Stan has some cosmic knowledge of IT and Maturin and his role in the battle against It. What does any of this have to do with his death? Well, let me point out some other things about Stan's death that always stuck out to me. - His death chapter is narrated by his wife, Patty, rather than himself. The other chapters - almost all the other chapters - are narrated by their respective Loser (the caviot for this is Ben, but Ben is also wasted out of his damn mind so its understandable.) - Stan's personality is few and far between in the book, but we know he has a weird little sense of humour and that he's incredibly logical. I think that this logical part of him would be able to understand that Suicide is Never Ever the answer, and that it would cause FAR more problems than it would solve. (the 2019 movie tries to reexplain his death and it's crap and i hate the letters i hate the letters so much im gonna explode) The other losers try to rationalize his death by saying "He would rather Die Clean than Live Dirty (Page 506, Chapter 10, The Reunion, part 3, 'Ben Hanscom Gets Skinny') but he had already BEEN Dirty when he defeated IT the first time, and I think he would've recognized that. - upon finding him, Patty (in her narration) notes that Stan's head is bent back over the edge of the bathtub, so from his sight she would have been upside down. If Stan DID kill himself, why would he be positioned like that? It's unnatural, like someone Posed him. - the cuts on his arms are two length wise cuts. I'm no expert but.. that's suspicious. That's weird. - IT is written in blood on the wall. Why? Why would Stan right THAT of all things? You know who DOES like to paint with blood? IT.

Alright, returning to my thesis statement, Stanley Uris was murdered. Do I think Stan genuinely was going to take a bath at 7pm (which we're told is weird for him)? Yes. I think that's absolutely a thing he could have done or planned to do. Do I think he slit his wrists and commited suicide so he wouldn't go back to Derry? No. Not even remotely.

Let me paint a New Picture.

It's May 28th, 2016, or 1985. Stanley Uris gets a call from Mike Hanlon. Stan is incredibly hesitant to go to, and says he needs time to think about it. Or tht he'll try. He can feel the starts of a Panic attack, and as he's remembering the circles of Hell he went through as a child, he tries to hold himself together. He doesn't want his darling wife to see his break, so he says "I think I'll take a bath" and nothing else before going upstairs. he hides in the bathroom. He closes and locks the door, because, well, he's panicking. Locking doors is one of The Small things he does. Is it usually the bathroom door? no, but still (OCD is a bitch, and even with medication, but this is a special case). He looks in the mirror and tries to breathe. This is fine. He can do this. They killed IT once before and they can do it again. He thinks about his younger self, the promises made, and how he could explain all of this Patty in time to catch a flight to Maine. It's terrifying, but if his friends are going to bite the dust, he wants to be there with them, wedding vows be Damned. Then he looks at his reflection again. A younger, rotted version of himself stares back at him. IT crawls through the mirror. Stan freaks out, obviously. This isn't real. This Can't be real. But IT utilizes this notion against him. It digs it's claws into his arms, and forces him to bleed out in the bathtub. IT then sets the scene nicely. Razorblades on the counter, a bloody signature on the wall, a horrible posture of Stan's neck. So on and So forth. and then IT returns to Derry. IT's a little weak, yeah, but Stan is dead. That's what matters. the Lucky Seven has now Officially broken, and the balance shifts in favour of the clown.

So that's the theory. feel free to correct me on anything or engage I have plenty of theories on this story and I like discussing this stuff :).
