#and noahs horror acting… yeah

[femnoah]

The fem Noah adopted au

Part 1 part 2

It's Chef that notices somethings wrong at first

'Noah's' constantly at work, spending time doing things that isn't 'his' job. 'He'll' complain about it but as soon as someone else offers, 'he'll' just glare at them

Then there's the fact that 'he's' constantly out of breath and falling asleep all the time

There's a particularly rough day where the night before Neha's dad went off it at her for daring to backtalk him after everything he's done for her, despite him being kind enough to let her stay under the household despite her shortcomings. Then there's the fact she was stupid enough to be put in a position where she has to work for a minor old celebrity of all people, couldn't she just think for once.

So she's having a really bad day and everything is kind of building up around it, she's definitely not in the right headspace and ends up getting injured helping set up for a challenge

Chef sees this and immediately sends 'him' to the current med tent, intending to hold an intervention before the kid actually kills 'himself' dammit

He lectures 'Noah' for being stupid, because does 'he' really hate 'himself' so much that 'he's' just running 'his' body into the ground? 'He' shouldn't act so recklessly, he thought 'he' was supposed to be the smart one.

Neha doesn't really register everything that's said to her, just bits that she puts together. She just snaps. She's sick and tired of people telling her she should hate herself or the way she looks because why won't anyone just let her live her life and goes off it at Chef.

She ends up spilling everything while she's yelling at him and Chef is actually a reasonable adult. Absolutely terrible at comforting but pretty good at solving problems

So it goes on a while where he just gets her to work under him (turns out she's also great help in the med area), giving her a space so she can stop with the whole Noah thing and actually take care of herself, basically mentally adopting her.

That gives him an idea and he takes advantage of his foster licence (those in the military are encouraged to get one) as well as his... connections to just kidnap Neha from her home. Not that her parents notice at first. When they do their furious but well, Chef can be pretty convincing

And thus the healing arc begins

She gets to grow her hair out, stops taking anything she doesn't want to take (or needs to) and wear whatever she wants- especially since Chef has a bit of a passion for collecting outfits. He definitely gets her own matching versions for his costumes

She also learns a ton of different skills from him, like how to fly a plane, and is basically strongarmed into being healthy. Very much against her will

This takes place during action so Chris and Chef are in their divorce arc meaning that Chris has no idea that Chef has just adopted one of the contestants because he just didn't tell him

He gets a shock when he comes home one day when Chef said he'd go over and cook and he just sees 'Noah' lounging on his couch, using his facemask that he ordered in from Thailand

Then Chef and Neha just gaslight him. What do you mean you don't remember your own daughter? Yes, daughter did you hit your head?

She does get actually adopted

Chris is 100% the stepdad in this situation and he's suffering because of it

Their first family outing is a heist to steal Neha's dog back. It's chaotic and not at all legal but successful in the end

Blaineley gets herself involved much to Chris' horror. But she's an absolutely amazing big sister and definitely too young to be an auntie, Chris

It kind of becomes a running gag where people just appear in Chris' living room

You can bet Neha's smuggling animals in as much as she can- Chris has more than enough room. It becomes a game, how long it takes until she's caught

Yeah, when her cycle kicks in properly she uses it as an excuse to bully Chris in revenge for everything she had to do working for him and the best part? Chef always sides with her

She doesn't compete in the third season but she is there as Chris' 'apprentice'. This does mean she has to join in with the costume shenanigans as well as a couple of changes in some challenges. Instead Justin gets to compete

The three of them basically troll the cast, especially with the voice and costume shenanigans. The audience gets to know straight away because she finishes the sign off for Chris in her Noah voice

Alejandro flirts with Neha to try and get more information on the challenges. Instead, he gets a shovel talk in front of the rest of the cast from Chris to his horror. It's also when everyone else finds out that apparently Chris has a kid. They're all traumatized.

Then we get the role reversal, Neha is the one chasing him except her flirting is a bit unhinged... Her only points of reference are Chris, Chef and Izzy after all. She could just curse out his entire bloodline and thinks that she made a significant move on him

Worst part? It actually works. Turns out the guy who made out with a pineapple is not actually normal. At all.

She's not subtle about the fact that she's 'Noah' either, constantly referencing it. But it doesn't click with the rest of the contestants until she has to sing a song and just duets herself, switching between the two

Also, apparently spending so much time with two maniacs actually rubs off you

I just envision Chef as a girl dad you know, and Chris is there on the side, unwilling at first but secretly cares in his own borderline psycho way

who's surving a horror movie? - PLAVE edition

yejun

he senses the energy shift before the opening credits even roll.

light flickers once? he’s grabbing his bag.

mirror looks off?? he’s already halfway down the driveway.

“i just think… we don’t need to be here.”

“yejun we just arrived—”

“and we can just leave.”

survives the opening scene effortlessly. not because he’s built different—because he refuses to engage.

mysterious call with no id? he doesn’t pick up. the group says “let’s split up”? he says “let’s not.”

driveway splits into “safe-looking road” and “dark, gravelly death trail”? he’s turning the car back around.

has the strongest horror movie instincts.

but let’s say—tragically—he stays.

human killer? he’s got a shot. clever. observant. paranoid in all the right ways.

could fake his death just to buy time. might even outsmart the villain.

supernatural threat? absolutely not. panics. stumbles into the cursed attic. gone in under five minutes. emotional last words.

if confronted by a ghost, he will throw someone—probably bamby—under the bus

not to be cruel. just to buy 0.8 seconds of survival. “sorry. i panicked. i’ll grieve you later.” calls it tactical emotional prioritizing.

immediately apologizes after.

survival rates? decent but don’t count on it. he’s got heart—but not enough ghost immunity.

noah

phone’s on do not disturb.

misses every warning call.

killer tries to contact him? straight to voicemail. every. time.

the killer absolutely hates his guts. because somehow, noah keeps ruining their plans.

is noah aware? absolutely not.

will he claim credit? oh absolutely.

hears a weird noise in the woods? immediately turns to hamin. “you should check that out. you’ve got the flashlight.”

“i don’t have one.”

“well. you’ve got… courage. go.”

the literal killer standing in front of him? “...so hamin, right?”

betrays the group within 15 minutes.

throws people under the bus like it’s a relay race. offers a fake plan. leads everyone into a trap. “wait, y’all actually followed me??why?”

lowkey suspiciously disappears half the time. somehow ends up covered in blood—not his—and insists he’s innocent. nobody believes him.

so what does he do? leans into the suspicion for fun.

“am i the killer? idk. am i hot? yeah.”

might survive by gaslighting the killer into giving up.

might survive by accidentally impaling them with a coat rack.

might die because someone he betrayed gets revenge first.

probably deserves it.

probably still iconic.

but one thing’s clear:

he will be entertaining until the end.

iconic. dramatic. deeply unserious.

final verdict: probably dead, possibly the killer, always the main character. but most importantly, definitely the problem.

bamby

this was supposed to be a wholesome trip. he packed snacks. socks. bug spray.

now he’s hiding behind a tree clutching a broken flashlight. he trips over nothing—constantly.

gets jump-scared by shadows. screams when the power goes out even if it’s daytime.

he’s scared. he’s spiraling.

but he’s not crying—he’s angrily terrified. the “what was that?? show yourself then!” kind of scared.

ready to swing. at anything.

he has no idea what’s going on. but by act two? he’s in a tank top.

by act three? shirtless. no one knows how or why

blood on his collarbone. hair messed up. audibly whimpering. and the audience?? eating it up!!!

he survives on pure final girl™ energy. everything around him is cursed, and somehow he’s still crawling through it.

a trap breaks after he walks through it.

fear makes him faster. louder. unhinged.

rips a curtain rod off the wall and uses it as a weapon. dropkicks a locked door.

he's cussing up a storm. BAD PEACH!!!

screams “i’m not going out like this” before smashing a window and diving through it.

10/10 cinematics.

by the end, he’s covered in scratches. shirt long gone. (FREE THE PECS) adrenaline peaking. camera pans out as he stands on the lawn, shaking, fists clenched, chest heaving.

survives not because he’s smart. not because he’s fast.

because he’s too chaotic to kill.

the killer chases him and slips on the same floor bamby tripped on. a knife gets stuck in the fridge. he screams so loud it scares the ghost.

every death around him is an accident he barely avoids.

might slap a demon if cornered.

unlucky, but unstoppable.

tldr: surprise final girl with pecs. shirtless. traumatized. alive. icon.

eunho

he’s joking around. doing fake ghost voices. opening closets dramatically.

thinks it’s all a bit.

his phone is at 6%, has been for hours. never charges it.

flashlight’s dead.

power bank? didn’t pack one. batteries? “i thought you had them.”

goes off to pee alone and never comes back. or he comes back but… not as himself.

last heard saying: “guys imagine if someone just—ahhhhh”

vanished mid-bit.

when things go south, he’s yelling “guys???” into a dead flashlight.

100% the one who gets possessed by accident.

was trying to entertain the group with a fake exorcism. ends up speaking latin. eyes go black mid-joke.

“eunho??”

him: floating “haha wait no fr guys help—”

if he dies: he dies mid-bit. iconic exit.

if he lives: it’s because the ghost got tired of his commentary and left.

final verdict: absolutely not surviving on purpose. entertaining until the bitter end. if you see him levitating, just know: he died how he lived—confused.

hamin

clocked the bad energy the second the airbnb said “no reviews.”

tried to cancel the trip. no one listened.

he’s the only one with a working flashlight. and a backup flashlight. and snacks. and bandaids. and a color-coded escape route spreadsheet. he's PREPARED!!!

wakes up before the killer. boards the windows while everyone else is arguing.

gets so annoyed mid-haunting he stares the demon down. “you want me? come get me. i dare you.”

demon retreats.

he’s packed. prepared. planned. but also pissed. this wasn’t on the schedule

goes full survival mode.

assigns roles. gives orders. lowkey judging everyone.

he survives the longest, no question. might even save a few people along the way.

he does not stick around for emotional speeches. “you got five minutes. after that, i’m leaving with or without you"

if he dies, it’s because he tried to fix the group’s bad decisions for too long.

if he lives, it’s because he abandoned them mid-argument and walked out the front door.

final verdict: either dies because he refused to run, or survives and carries the whole gang on his back.

both are equally likely. if he survives: moves to another country. considers writing a book called “how not to die with idiots.”

caligo/terry

the killer.

why? because he wasn’t invited.

committed murder out of FOMO.

[castlebyersafterdark]

ok i usually find noah cute when he smiles and hot when he doesnt... hence number 7 here??? 🔥🔥🔥

https://www.tumblr.com/noahschnappinfs/774747663017148416/noah-at-the-german-stranger-con-122025?source=share

i genuinely cannot wait for the fashion photoshoots of our boys after the show drops. the editorials are gonna be setting us all alight

but yeah... will and mike are not comedic characters and they have intense scenes and mostly serious expressions. i can see why noah and finn could have fallen for each other's sincerity or smoulder, it awakens something different in you than falling for someone because they are funny does. i truly wonder if noah is a little in love with mike and finn a little in love with will. must be complex for them...

The fashion photo shoots are going to be incredible. The weird clothes they always put them in. The professional posing, the drama. We are going to get sooooo spoiled with them.

Interesting to have it pointed out in that you are so right - they are not comedic generally!! It's interesting that Finn specifically considers himself to be striving for comedy and that's what he likes the most about acting - Mike isn't exactly a comic relief character. He has funny lines here and there and there are some humorous situations, but he's not exactly funny. That's interesting. Kinda want to see some humorous situations in season 5 among the serious and romance and horrors - human moments. Not comedy that feels out of place in this series because too much takes you out of it, not quips like a blockbuster film. But a moment where Will and Mike make each other laugh - how lovely would that be!!

My favorites from the German con - I'm... a little... obsessed with both the way he sits on couches as well as his pretty pink mouth hmmm it needed to be said...

[ao3wasntenough]

Crack one shot bot sam when he first time meet noah.

Sam : I hope you will be still human

Noah : ... What do you meant?

Sam : they didn't tell you? I was human before.. Well touching alien artifacts make me like this.

Noah :*start to feel scare* Do you think I will change like you?

Sam : I think not . I am like this because Allspark and matrix that inside optimus chassis.

Noah : *Noah looks at optimus a more likely looks at his chassis . He slowly move away from optimus . And yeah he no want close physical with optimus*

(I am kind out of idea headmaster au crack one shot)

Noah and Elena thought it would be consistent amongst the bot that they didn't understand or couldn't quiet match human speech patterns or organic humour.

a Bot calling himself "Sam" was surely just trying to be different, to all the other autobots. they though his name was a nickname or a chosen name change for some weird reason. However Sam strangely so unalien.

He made sarcastic comments even the other autobots seemed confused at. Mirage seemed to be judging how his humour landed with Noah, to which Sam was the only bot to react with something beyond disdain or trying to block them out. laughing or telling Mirage he was striking out, another hit and miss. Or would snicker before looking towards Bumblebee and to Noahs best guess, shit talked across their brain radio thing. That was what Mirages huff seemed to tell.

Sam's jokes or comments were also often something the Humans thought to say themselves. Elena would never tell anyone she tries testing saying things in her head to judge the bots reaction encase they COULD read minds.

But his odd behaviour was so painfully familiar to Noah when Bumblebee was taken down. Optimus may have been the loudest but horror was never more obvious on a robot then the face and silent scream Sam was wearing. And though Optimus was obviously frustrated and upset at the worser the situation was looking. Sam turned down right inhospitable. snapping mean barbs were all he would offer in place of bemused sarcasm. Sam seemed to start seething at mirage's friendliness to the humans. Noah recognised the feeling, of being in a combat zone and loosing someone you were just standing arm in arm with. trying to not snap at men acting as normal as they could when someone JUST DIED.

they didn't talk or think about it much till after the whole fiasco. Helping Mirage back to functional, living and working kinda taking up everything else then pondering only one of the many aliens.

it wasn't until they had been some weird autobot version or a bbq that Sam snuck up on them. ominously dropping how he "hope if you stick around you don't end up becoming a bot like I did" and having a devilish look as he added a " but that was only after years so maybe you just gotta stick around and see" and leaving the humans to think about the horrible implications of Sam.

Know that you’re safe with me and I got your back💞 I absolutely loved the list of fandoms and pairings to chose from. I decided to go with Caregiver! JJ and make the Reader the Little with Spencer as an older brother Little. That being said if I don’t do this story justice I apologize from the bottom of my heart! I hope you enjoy this @dino-boyo-agere ! Thank you again for the request!!

Forever Mommy’s Little Boy

Caregiver! JJ & Trans Male Little! Reader with Big Brother Little! Spencer Reid

Tags: mentions of period, pull-ups, hurt and comfort. (Completely SFW)

Relationships: Caregiver! JJ, Uncle Derek Morgan, Big brother little! Spencer Reid, Aunt Penelope Garcia, & Trans male little! Reader.

Nicknames: baby, sweatheart, baby boy, kiddo

Breathe! Just breathe! It’s only about 10 minutes more and we’ll be going home. I can wait that long.

I sat at my desk and was waiting patiently for JJ or Morgan or literally any Caregiver in this office to announce we would be heading home. They would’ve been wrapping up everything by now…what’s taking so long?

The case, like every case before it, was long and exhausting. All I want to do is collapse into JJ’s arms and just be babied for the rest of the night but we were still stuck at work!

Regression played the devil on my shoulder, teasing and taunting me to regress at work. But I couldn’t, not yet. I had to remain big till we got to the car, then I could regress and finally relax for the weekend.

I checked again to see if any Caregivers had finished their files. Morgan sat at the desk across from me and he was still leaned down working, same went for JJ who I wanted more than anyone to finish her paperwork. The rest of the team looked the same, all expect Spencer who, like myself, finished his work early.

Spencer regresses as well. He acts as my older brother, watching out for me and creating all the creative pretend games. I’m so lucky to have him!

With a glance towards him I could see he was struggling to keep from regressing as well. At least I wasn’t alone.

Then suddenly I felt off, like weirdly off. It was a weird feeling I haven’t felt in- oh God no. I must be wrong. I have to be wrong. I quickly stood up from my desk and rushed off to the restroom. I walked in and quickly closed the stall door behind me before checking to see.

Sure enough my period arrived earlier and heavier than expected. And since I was unprepared my pants and underwear are stained noticeably. I tried my hardest to push back tears threatening to spill.

This is dead to me. This…this period, it’s just a nagging reminder of a life that didn’t feel whole. A life that wasn’t really mine, not like now. But this was just a hurtful reminder, one I definitely didn’t need right now.

This combined with my struggle to not regress was not a great combo. With a last ditch effort I cleaned myself up as best as I could before walking out and looking in the mirror. But sad and terrible thoughts plagued my mind.

Tears started to run down my face. There was no holding back my regression now. Immediately I started to just regress, feeling smaller and smaller every minute. I just wanted JJ. I wanted her to hold me and tell me it’s all okay. Tell me I’m her sweet little boy and not-

“Y/n?” Spencer asked before entering the large bathroom. He immediately froze upon seeing me.

“Hey, what’s wrong? What happened?” I must’ve caused a domino effect because I could see Spencer regressing along with me.

“Nothing, I’m fine Spence.” I tried to say, wiping away my tears as fast as possible. But Spencer wasn’t buying it. He also didn’t seem to notice the issue which I was grateful for.

“I know something’s wrong. Let me help! I want to make sure you’re okay…please.” He put a hand in my shoulder and looked me in the eyes.

“I’m fine I just-…. P-Please…get mommy.” I said, barley a whisper. Tears starts to flow again, running down my face as I started to cry.

“It’s gonna be okay. I’ll go get her.” Spencer right away said. As much as he didn’t want to leave, he knew there was only one person who could fix whatever was happening.

~~~

JJ sat at her desk finishing up the last details on her case file. Even though they were still at work her careful Caregiver eyes spotted Y/n leaving the bullpen, and then Spencer right after.

A sinking feeling fell upon her that something was wrong, call it a Caregiver’s Spidey sense. She wishes for once she was wrong. Spencer came rushing over to her, worried and sad.

“M-…JJ, something’s wrong with Y/n.” He tried to explain sounding like his normal adult self. But his regression was in full swing and JJ could easily see it.

“What’s going on? Where is he sweetheart?” Now she was worried. A thousand questions played in her mind.

“The bathroom. I walked in to see if he was okay and I found him crying by the sink. I tried to help but he only asked for you.” Spencer explained.

JJ stood up from her desk and placed a comforting hand on Spencer’s shoulder. “Thank you for looking out for your little brother and making sure he’s okay. I’m going to take care of this, and while I’m gone I want you to go to Aunt Penelope’s office and keep her company. Okay?”

Spencer nodded. “Okay…but just-.” He stopped for a moment, looking up at JJ with tears in his eyes. “Just make sure he’s okay. I’m worried about him.”

She smiled and kissed the top of his head. “I know you are sweetheart. I promise I’ll make sure Y/N’s okay.”

With that small reassurance Spencer nodded and left heading towards Garcia’s office. With Spencer taken care of JJ turned her attention to the bathroom.

When she arrived she could hear Y/n soft cries and sniffing. She knocked on the door, “Y/N? It’s me baby, it’s Mommy. Can I come in?”

Even though it was a public bathroom filled with different stalls and sinks, she wanted permission to enter his space instead of barging in.

If she wasn’t listening as closely she could’ve missed the soft “You can come in.”

JJ immediately walked in and closed the main bathroom door behind her, locking it. If someone needed the bathroom they could go to the one a floor down. For right now they needed this space, just the two of them.

Once JJ and Y/N made eye contact, it was as if the world paused so the two of them could have a moment alone together.

Her heart shattered seeing Y/N so broken and upset. She instantly made her way over to her boy and wrapped him into a tight comforting hug.

“My baby boy, what’s wrong sweetheart? What’s happened?” She asked but didn’t get much in the way of a response.

Y/N just cried into JJ shoulder, finally getting the comfort he’s wanted after this long case.

JJ decided to help Y/N along with figuring out why he was so upset. She rubbed his back with one hand and played with his hair in the other. She could tell he wasn’t in the mode to talk and that was okay. Yes and no questions it was then.

“Did someone hurt you?” She asked. He shook his head against her.

“Did someone say something to you?” Another no from him.

Thank God those were two no’s. Because if they weren’t, she would’ve killed someone.

“Sweetheart,” She said pulling them apart and looking into his teary eyes. “I want to help you as best I can right now. But I can only do it when I know what’s going on. You don’t have to talk if you don’t feel like it right now. But you have to give me an idea what’s going on.” She explained.

Y/N nodded wearily. He turned around and pointed to his pants which now sadly had a small red blood stain on the back.

Immediately it all clicked into place for JJ. “Oh sweetheart I’m so sorry this happened. You’re okay baby boy, you’re okay.” She pulled him back up against her, holding him in a tight hug once more.

“Baby boy?” He broke apart and looked at JJ.

Her heart shattered at the question. She caressed his face and placed a kiss to the crown of his head, “You will always be my baby boy. This will not change that. It never has and it never will.”

More tears started to run down Y/N’s face hearing those words. JJ almost fell backwards by the force of the next hug he gave her.

“It’s okay baby. You’re okay. Mommy’s going to make it all better.” JJ said, rubbing his back to comfort him so more.

When the tears dried and his breath started to slow to a normal rate, JJ broke apart from her boy and wiped the last of the tears away.

“Here’s what we’re gonna do, I’m going to get you set up in the stall over here. Then I’m going to grab your bag and get you changed into something clean and comfortable. After that we’re going to get your brother and head home. Sound good?” She asked only to get a nod and a small smile from Y/N.

“Okay let’s get you set up then.” Taking his hand in hers, she led him over the the big stall in the bathroom. Inside was your standard public bathroom only this time with a changing table made especially for Littles.

“There,” she smiled. “Now, I’m going to grab your bag from my office. Keep the door locked okay?” That got another small nod from Y/N. With a small kiss to his head she left the stall, hearing a small click of the lock on the way out.

~~~

After JJ left the bathroom I felt uncomfortable again. She just made everything so safe and comfortable. Now without her here everything felt overwhelming, scary again.

But she wouldn’t be long. She just went to grab my bag and then we would go home. I couldn’t wait to be home again, laying on the couch with my favorite stuffie on one side and JJ on the other.

But my beautiful daydream was interrupted by the sound of someone entering the bathroom. Despite my stall door being closed, I backed myself far away from the door, my back hitting the wall.

This was a restroom, it would be ignorant of me to think no one else would use it. But I want to just be alone with JJ. Now with strangers walking into the space I felt more exposed and scared.

But the person who walked in stayed by the sinks. They didn’t walk into a stall or wash their hands. Before I had a moment to really question it further, the man spoke up.

“Hey kiddo it’s just Uncle Derek. Your mom just sent me in here to stop anyone from coming in. You doing alright in there?”

A wave of relief washed over me. I let out a breath I didn’t realize I was holding and wiped a few stray tears.

“M’ doing okay.” I managed to say.

“That’s good to hear. You just let me know if you need anything okay?”

I nodded my head. But then I realized he couldn’t see it so I added a quick: “okay.”

Uncle Derek was a life saver! Not once but twice people tried to enter the bathroom but he redirected them away. I’m couldn’t have been more happy to have him there to protect me.

After what felt like years but was only really 15 minutes JJ returned and relieved Morgan of his guard duties. He knocked on the door before leaving.

“See you when you get out kiddo.” He added before leaving the bathroom to JJ and I once more.

I heard the main door to the bathroom lock before JJ knocked on the stall door. I quickly ran over and opened it to her only to see my favorite stuffie in her arms!

“I’m sorry I took so long. I thought your bag was in my office but it turns out it was in my car. But guess who was also in there waiting for you?”

I immediately grabbed the stuffie and brought him close. Between him and JJ being back, everything started to feel calm again.

“Alright baby boy, let’s get you all sorted out.”

JJ opened the changing table, quickly cleaned and placed a cover on. Then she went over to me and helped me and my stuffie up onto it.

With that she started to get to work, taking my shoes off, then my pants and underwear. Then she helped clean up and before I knew it she was sliding a fresh pull-up on me followed by my emergency set of pants.

“There you go,” she said rubbing my belly. “All fresh and clean.”

Suddenly a sad thought came across my head. “Mommy, I can’t wear a pull-up.”

“Why not? You’re too young not to wear one.” She pointed out, making me feeling smaller.

“No, it’s just that…it’s going to have blood on it.”

JJ sighed. She sat me up and held my hand in mine. “I want you to listen to me for a second Y/N. I don’t mind taking care of you whether you’re on or off your period. That changes nothing about the fact you’re my little boy. Do you understand? I still love you the same and I will never see you different. You are and will forever be my baby boy.”

More tears found their way to my eye as she pulled me into a hug once more. I felt so much better now that I was changed, but even more so now that I felt accepted. No matter what anyone said or what my body said, I’m her little boy. Forever.

“Now,” she said breaking apart. “We gotta go catch up with your brother. He’s very worried about you. I’d say he’s so worried he might let you chose the movie we watch tonight.” JJ winked.

“Really?!” I said shocked. Tonight was his movie night choice. But he was gonna let me chose?!

“Really! And if we’re really lucky we might be able to convince Uncle Derek and Aunt Penelope to stay and watch it with us.” JJ added as she helped me down.

Hand in hand the two of us walked out of that bathroom. Once out we went to Aunt Penelope’s office and met up with Spencer again.

He stood up and ran over to me “Y/n! Are you okay? I’ve been so worried!” He wrapped me in a tight hug.

I smiled against his shoulder, “I’m okay Spence.”

“While you were gone I thought of the coolest game we can play when we get home!” Spencer added excitedly once we broke apart.

“I can’t wait!” I smiled back.

“Come on boys, it’s time to go home.” JJ said after talking to Garcia.

Spencer took one hand and JJ took the other as we left the BAU. My little family always knew how to make me feel appreciated and accepted. Caregiver and Little boy. Forever and always.

Rant about noahs acting cause i have some opinions on it :p

Firstly, I think noah is an incredible actor. The scenes where he's possessed are especially where he thrives and I know he's going to smash the horror element of s5, literally emmy winning level acting.

However, I see a lot of people criticising noahs natural acting by saying that he's either monotone or overacting in the scenes. And I have to say, I agree. A lot of the time, he seems to not be too sure what to do with natural lines or a casual tone which leads to him either overdoing them, or not performing them how a "normal" person should say them.

And I think there's a reason for this. If you watch noah speak in panels or interviews, you'll notice that he doesn't have a natural way of speaking at all. This is just what I picked up on, but you'll notice his voice will go from monotone and almost robotic, to energetic and higher pitched when he gets excited about something. He also has a weird inflection on a lot of words, so much so that its more a consistent problem rather than a passive one. Comparing it to his cast mates, or even his sister who seems to speak perfectly normally, you can see the stark difference.

I think the reason noahs natural acting is so off is because he doesn't act how most people would call "naturally". In my mind, I believe he's probably autistic, which would explain this huge divide in the way he acts compared to the rest of the cast, and he seems to have a lot of other symptoms too.

But yeah, I think his natural acting is strange, but I don't think he should be blamed for this. It sucks to see people criticising him so heavily on this, but it does make me nervous for s5, knowing that there probably will be some scenes where his acting isn't the best.

I can't say I noticed him not being able to do natural acting, I personally think his acting in less 'dramatic' scenes seems fine to me. Do you think you could give me examples of scenes that maybe you feel it is more prominent in?

Heart of Glass - Chapter 15

For a Friday night, things were surprisingly quiet over at Aspen’s place, with no party this weekend. Just friends having a casual hangout and movie night as Halloween was just over a week away, and the housemates made a tradition of spending most of October binging horror movies.

Noah wasn’t feeling nearly as relaxed as he ought to be, though.

Not when he had been fretting over the fact that Ruby’s parents would be arriving in town in the morning ahead of her birthday, and Ruby expected him to show up and act as though nothing were out of the ordinary.

Noah had no idea how he was meant to pull that off when he was in a constant state of hypervigilance around her, and he could barely stand to be in the same room for too long without feeling like she would find something wrong with what he was doing, even when doing nothing at all.

As he sat among his friends on one of the plush couches in the living room, watching The Thing, Noah’s attention started to drift further and further from the movie, getting caught up in worrying about the following day and the myriad things that could happen.

Not wanting the others to see that his anxiety was getting on top of him and spiking hard, he got up as though he was going to use the bathroom.

Aspen noticed, though, that Noah walked past the alcove where the downstairs one was and headed upstairs instead, even though there was no need to, so he gave it a couple of minutes before he followed to check on him.

Noah was nowhere to be seen on the first floor as Aspen checked all the rooms before turning toward the stairs to the attic.

As his line of sight crested the top of the stairs, Aspen could see his brother sitting on the floor with his back against the wall; knees pulled up to his chest and erratically tapping his feet as Noah wrung his hands.

Aspen recognized that body language immediately, his heart sinking at seeing Noah mid-panic attack.

Approaching slowly so that he didn’t startle his brother, Aspen quietly assessed Noah’s physical state and the surrounding area for clues as to what had triggered him, then crouched in front of Noah and put a gentle hand on his arm.

Noah was hyperventilating, with a pained and frantic expression on his face as he looked at his brother, silently pleading for help. Without a word, Aspen shifted to sit beside him and gently coaxed Noah out of the fetal position, and got him to lie down, resting his head in Aspen’s lap.

Once he was comfortably lying down, Aspen started combing his fingers through Noah’s hair, a soothing tactic he’d picked up from their mom when they were kids. Aspen had adopted the gesture after Noah’s abduction, taking it upon himself to assume the role of caregiver and using it to calm his sibling whenever Noah was upset.

After a few minutes, the rhythm of Noah’s breathing slowed, and Aspen felt him begin to relax, signaling the end of the attack, though Aspen kept up the comfort, giving him a little more time to fully come down from it before asking if Noah had taken his anxiety medication, as that was supposed to help prevent him from having the attacks.

“They’re not working anymore….” Noah answered with a shuddered sigh, his body sagging from exhaustion.

Aspen was sad to hear that, but he wasn’t surprised. Not with how much stress his brother had been under of late.

Still running his fingers through Noah’s hair, Aspen inquired whether he knew what had set him off or if it had happened spontaneously.

“Ruby’s folks will be here tomorrow for her birthday….” Noah mumbled, trying to focus entirely on the comfort offered by the fingertips gently kneading at his scalp.

“Ah.”

“Yeah…”

“And is this the first panic attack you’ve had recently?” Aspen asked though he could guess the likely answer.

Noah shook his head.

“How many times has it happened?”

“I don’t know….” Noah answered, sighing. “A lot?”

“Okay.”

It hurt Aspen that his brother was struggling again, and even more than he’d been letting on. He knew what Ruby had been doing to Noah, and yet he felt like he should have done... should be doing more to protect him.

“I’ve fucked everything up, haven’t I?” Noah sniffled, turning over a little to look at his brother. “I thought I had everything figured out before I came here, but now it’s like my whole life has gone off the rails, and I don’t know what to do anymore.”

“Well, first of all, no, you have not fucked everything up,” Aspen stated in a firm but gentle tone. “Second, that plan you had before wasn’t yours, remember?”

Noah heaved a heavy sigh, feeling defeated and far too exhausted even to attempt to argue, all the fight gone from his body.

“Listen, I’m going to tell you something I wish someone had told me at your age, alright?” Aspen murmured, sighing as he played idly with Noah’s hair. “Noah, it’s okay for you not to have everything figured out. That’s normal. Hell, half the time, I don’t even know what I’m doing, and that’s okay.”

“It is?”

“Yeah, it is. Look, I know it seems like some people have all their shit mapped out even before they finish middle school, but they’re outliers. And guess what? Most of those kids hit their late twenties or thirties burned out. Or they marry the first person they met in high school and pop out a bunch of kids. Then they wake up one day wondering what happened because they ended up in a job they hate and feeling like it’s too late to start over because they bought into the idea that that was what they were supposed to do.”

Not that Aspen was condemning anyone who followed that path. If anything, he thought that if someone was content with their lot in life after they did that, then more power to them. However, he knew there were also a whole lot of unhappy people in the world who would have found more fulfillment in their lives if they had followed their hearts instead of the expectations put upon them.

“And do you know what else is perfectly okay to do?”

“No. What?” Noah asked, gazing up at Aspen intently, finding some tiny shred of comfort to cling to in his words.

“Walking away from a relationship if it’s unhealthy for you, or even if it just doesn’t make you happy anymore. Sometimes, two people just aren’t compatible like that, no matter how much one of them puts into trying to make it work,” Aspen replied, the look in his eyes deeply sincere and filled with the hope that Noah would see sense and listen. “Noah, you don’t have to keep throwing yourself into a relationship that isn’t working for you. Especially if you’re only doing it because that’s what you think you should do. You’re still so young and have so much to learn about yourself and about life. Don’t buy into someone else’s idea of what the future looks like if it’s incompatible with yours, okay? That’s slow suicide.”

“Okay….”

Noah could see that his brother was practically pleading with him to leave the situation with Ruby, though Noah couldn’t see how it was as simple as that. Not when he feared what Ruby would do if he tried to walk away, since Noah couldn’t say for certain what lengths she would go to to keep him from leaving her.

“Why is it so hard, though? Why can’t I have something like what you and Aria have? You two make it look so easy, but I just…. How?”

“With the right person, it will be, alright? But you should know not all of my relationships have been so easy,” Aspen soothed, a slight sadness behind his eyes.

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, I’ve had my own share of unhealthy and toxic relationships, and I had to learn the hard way how to recognize when something is a red flag. The same way you are doing right now with Ruby.”

Noah frowned, surprised as this was the first he was hearing that Aspen had experienced something similar.

“And I still didn’t understand a lot of things were wrong with those relationships I had until I met Aria because until he came along, that shit was all I knew, and I didn’t know that a different kind of love that didn’t hurt existed.”

Aspen paused, a bittersweet smile ghosting over his lips before he caught the confused look on his brother’s face and thought it best to elaborate further.

“Before Aria, the longest I’d ever dated anyone was less than a year because I couldn’t stand the thought of letting anyone get too close to really know me,” he admitted quietly. “But he’s taught me things I barely even knew about myself. Things that have helped me be better than before I met him because he loves my flaws just as much as he loves everything else about me.”

“What flaws?”

Aspen smiled that bittersweet smile again and bowed his head, huffing out a small laugh.

“You’re not the only one who struggles with the shit inside your head, little bro,” he answered, knowing he was revealing to Noah something he’d never admitted to him before. “After you got hurt, I... I couldn’t stop beating myself up about it, asking myself why I hadn’t been looking out for you, why I hadn’t been a better brother. I should have been there, protected you better….”

“Aspen, you were there. Remember you took care of me when Mom and Dad couldn’t take any more time off work?” Noah argued, sitting up suddenly. “You’ve been there for me more than most people ever were.”

“Was I, though?”

Aspen paused, sighing heavily, not wishing to make an argument of it.

“I was there to take care of you after it happened, but before? I treated you like you were my annoying kid brother when I should have had your back,” he continued, jaw set tight with the sense of guilt and regret that he still fought over it. “Those weeks you were in the hospital, I didn’t leave your side once. I was so scared that I was going to lose you, and it would have been my fault because if I’d been there, maybe I could have stopped it from happening in the first place.”

“No. No, it’s not your fault, okay? I won’t let you blame yourself for what that bastard did to me. Never,” Noah soothed, absolutely heartbroken that Aspen had been carrying the weight of his guilt in secret all this time and had never once let his little brother see it. “Why didn’t you tell me you felt like this?”

“Because you already had so much to deal with, I promised myself that I would never let anyone hurt you again because I’m your big brother. I’m supposed to take care of you, not the other way around.”

“Aspen, we take care of each other.”

“Yeah, but I haven’t been doing a very good job of it again lately, have I?” Aspen countered, swiping at his nose with the back of his hand as he sniffled. “Or else you wouldn’t be having panic attacks again over the thought of being stuck in the company of your abusive girlfriend for however many hours her parents are here for tomorrow, would you?”

Noah couldn’t argue with that, but he refused to lay blame at Aspen’s feet for it when Noah had to shoulder much more of the responsibility as he still couldn’t work up the nerve to break things off with Ruby, as miserable as it was making him.

“I told Kai what happened…” he confessed meekly, diverting the conversation away from any talk of Ruby. “I showed him my scars.”

Aspen looked surprised, tilting his head as a flicker of concern crossed his gaze.

“You told him? About…?”

“Yeah,” Noah affirmed with a slow nod. “I told him all of it.”

“Okay…. And what happened?” Aspen inquired cautiously, feeling protective of his brother all over again.

“Honestly, I thought maybe it would freak him out, or he’d look at me differently or something….”

“And…?”

“And… it didn’t bother him. I mean, it did, but he was more upset that someone had done that to me than by the sight of them,” Noah explained, fidgeting slightly. “He, uh… he even touched them….”

“He touched them? Like…. How do you mean?”

“Like, soft, you know? Just… We were sitting there, and I told him what happened, and… we sort of had a moment, I guess?”

“A moment? Like a moment, moment?”

Noah nodded, that confused and guilty feeling flooding him again.

“And then I fucked it all up.”

“How?”

“By panicking,” Noah explained, sighing. “I was upset, and he touched my face to wipe away my tears, and his hand just felt so good, and I… I wanted to kiss him, but then I remembered I couldn’t, so I pretty much ran out of his dorm room.”

“And have you seen him since?” Aspen asked, trying to suppress the urge to smile at the absolutely terrible way his brother had handled finally acknowledging he had feelings for Kai.

“Just in class a couple of times, but I didn’t want to say anything about it because I feel stupid, and I don’t want him to hate me.”

“I don’t think he hates you, Noah. Quite the opposite by the sound of it. Especially if he wasn’t freaked out about your scars.”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, it sounds like Kai is the kind of guy who sees the whole person, not just the most desirable parts.”

Noah canted his head in confusion, frowning.

“You remember before how I told you that Aria loves my flaws as much as everything else? Well, the right person will always love you as a complete person, whether you’re broken or not.”

“Do you love Aria that way?”

“Yeah, I do,” Aspen confirmed, nodding. “And I think that’s part of why what we have works the way it does.”

“Do you think you and he will be together for a long time? Like, getting married and all that stuff?”

“Honestly, I don’t know, but as I said, this is the longest relationship I’ve had so far, and to be honest, how I feel about him, I think it feels possible for the first time in my life. Which is funny because if you ask any of my previous boyfriends, the first thing they’ll tell you is that I’ve always been kind of a commitmentphobe.”

Noah felt calmer now for having talked things out with his brother, but especially now knowing more about things Aspen had never really spoken of to him before now.

“What’s different this time?” he asked curiously, wondering if there was anything specific that Aspen could identify as a change in the pattern of his relationship history.

“Aside from the sex being fucking spectacular?” Aspen joked, breaking into a laugh before his expression grew more serious but kept to a soft, seemingly contented smile. “He balances out my crazy, and he gets me in ways nobody else ever has before, but also because something about him makes me want to put effort into our relationship and keep that spark, you know? Like stoking a fire, I guess? In past relationships, I’d get bored within weeks or months, but with him? I don’t know what it is exactly, but it feels like I’m in love with his soul as much as his mind and body, if that makes sense?”

“Like soulmates?” Noah asked, unable to help the soft little smirk that painted across his face as he listened to his brother wax poetic about his boyfriend, a little envious of just how completely in love Aspen appeared to be with Aria.

“I don’t know if I’d use that word specifically,” Aspen mused, not wanting to sound too mushy, but he realized he had probably passed that mile marker a while back already. “The best way I can describe it is…. You’ve seen the Addams Family, right?”

“Yes, I’ve seen the Addams Family,” Noah laughed, nodding.

“Then I guess it’s like the way Gomez loves Morticia. Like, being so utterly obsessed with everything about them and loving them with total reckless abandon, not giving a fuck what anyone else thinks. It’s just you and them, loving each other like nobody’s watching.”

Noah was happy that Aspen had found someone he felt like that about and who returned that same feeling, though he couldn’t help feeling a twinge of sadness over his own circumstances, especially when they were so far to the opposite end of the spectrum.

“I wish I had something like what you and Aria have….” He murmured quietly, not realizing he’d said it aloud until Aspen responded.

“Hey, don’t give up hope, alright? You’ll find it,” he soothed reassuringly, catching Noah’s gaze and giving him a soft, encouraging smile. “Or it will find you, and most probably when you least expect it but need it the most.”

He wouldn’t press the matter and bring Kai’s name into it. Still, Aspen figured that Noah’s feelings for Kai would already have him looking in that direction as a starting point whenever he finally decided enough was enough with Ruby.

other highlights:

Adam and Noah were originally going to be the same person

Gansey’s backstory and reason for seeking Glendower was originally going to be bc of daddy issues (??)

Her early vision of BLLB was originally going to feature Macha, a Celtic war goddess

Ooh she said that what makes Blue and Gansey an appealing romance to her was that they are both people who have to be hyper-responsible and act super grown up most of the time, but when they’re together they’re allowed to be young. Whereas Ronan and Adam were the opposite, and their appeal is that they are both constantly feeling like no one takes them seriously enough (Adam being secondary to Gansey, Ronan being Ronan) so when they’re together they can feel like they’re “adult” and capable

Also said that Henry’s purpose in the story is to prove that Gansey is capable of living after anxiety, and that Henry must exist in order for Gansey to believe he can live after Glendower

K y’all are gonna hate this one. The camaro wheel? You know the mysterious camaro wheel? She said she had put that there as breadcrumb for something that would have been explored later in the POSSIBLE SARCHENGSEY SPINOFF she ended up not writing.

Upon reflecting on Noah’s role in the story: the reason Noah is not remembered is bc there had to be a significant sacrifice to bring Gansey back, like Adam’s autonomy, and being remembered is the thing Noah cared about the most, but he willingly sacrificed it to save his friend. (ngl this changed my whole perspective a but on the forgetting Noah thing. Like still, ow???? But I kinda get it now)

Not really trc-specific but she sees herself as writing “wonder” as a genre, utilizing magic for awe and beauty, as opposed to the “horror” genre which utilizes magic for fear and repulsion. Just thought that was neat

Oh yeah apparently people hated Adam so much in the early days that she had people come to her house and berate her and her family begging her to kill him off??? What is wrong with people

Wanna end this on a funny note so I’m just gonna bring up Gansey as Tintin with daddy issues again

watching mstief’s writing the raven cycle webinar and I just want everyone to know that she just explicitly stated that adam was supposed to go full villain in her first draft but changed her mind bc “the worst thing that could happen is they stop being friends”

Feral Female Noah part 5

Part 1

The ex-files

Duncan shows up just in time to get booted off the plane for the next challenge! Though he is acting a bit weird, he keeps glowering at everybody and wincing slightly. Clearly he's still upset about being found out the previous challenge. Meanwhile a certain snark is watching looking incredibly smug.

They get to area 52 and everybody misses the 'little' shove given to Duncan, who's now standing slightly further away from the rest. He gets zapped.

The challenge pretty much carries on similar to canon, at least on the boys side.

The girls are ignoring Gwen and they split off, she wanders around for a bit, has a chat with Duncan which is rudely interrupted by the alarm system going off. Then decides to just head back to the hosts.

Heather and Sierra are off searching for the artifact and they get talking about all the relationship drama on the show. They get the song this time about how the boys on the show are 'so not worth it'. Sierra comes to the realisation that maybe her obsession with Cody is not healthy for her and they have a heart to heart (as much as Heather can at least). She agrees to try and get over the geek and then they find an artifact.

Meanwhile, Neha and Courtney have somehow found the security room... Neha gets to show off her hacking skills! They basically watch things go down for the challenge, making things easier for their team (keeping doors unlocked, disabling the security system for the areas they're in) and a bit more difficult for the other team (the opposite). Of course this means that they watch the Gwen and Duncan convo -Courtney activated the alarm- and the Owen hypnosis thing....yeah...Neha is NOT a happy bunny. She plans to confront Alejandro over it once the challenge is over.

On her way out Neha snags another artifact and stuffs it in her pocket, it doesn't hurt to have a spare after all and Courtney picks up a massively metal lid, just in case they need a shield.

When they get out they notice that Gwen is with the hosts, the other two girls are almost at the hosts and the other team are also close.

Courtney still looks a little glum over the conversation they witnessed so Neha thinks of a plan to cheer the girl up, she comes up with one that she feels would be a guarantee, it'd work with her other friends! There is one thing that Neha forgets about and that's that her other friends are all insane adrenaline junkies and are not the normal standard.

She digs up 2 mines and pile them on top of another one before turning to Courtney and saying "do you wanna do something insanely stupid that we'll probably not get a chance to ever do again?" Courtney agrees cause she's curious of where the other girl is going with this.

She was not expecting Neha to mutter what sounds like calculations and a prayer, grab onto her and take hold of the metal lid (so that it was covering the front of their bodies), body slamming on mine pile.

They go flying, clutching each other and screaming and honestly, Courtney doesn't think she's ever had so much fun in her life.

Their clothes get a bit ruined from the explosion (mainly Neha's but she's fine, she wears a ton of layers).

Meanwhile the conscious members of team Chris watch in horror as the lazy 'boy' and type A girl go flying above them. Team Amazon wins thanks to Heather and Sierra's artifact.

Neha takes off a couple of layers when they get to first class and the girls basically catch up on what they were doing during the challenge.

She then tells them that she has a plan to mess with the boys (+Gwen) and if they want in they should come with her when she signals it later.

She ducks out for a second and spots Alejandro heading to the toilet confessional muttering to himself and debates dragging him to the cargo hold. She then gets a better idea since she did promise Chris more drama.

She basically grabs him and drags him to the other confessional with Chef so she can lock the door.

Alejandro is confused and slightly amused because who does the other 'boy' think he is, trying to dictate a Burromuerto's actions. He decides to let it slide because hey, it's an excuse to act all villainy in front of someone who's already called him out and mock 'him' for no one believing 'him'.

'Noah' crowds him against the wall which is a bit unexpected, but nothing he can't handle. He notices that 'he' isn't wearing all of his outfit, the first couple of layers have been taken off, they were probably damaged from the explosion he muses.

'Noah' just hisses out "you!" So of course Alejandro replies with a very smug "me." It clearly triggers something in the other boy cause 'he' steps impossibly closer so that they're chest to chest and 'he' starts to rant. "Look, I get it Owen isn't your favourite guy but you do NOT----"

Well, Alejandro has had plenty of women pressed up against him (not in that way thank you very much, you saw what happened in Yukon) when he gets hugged so he knows what boobs feel like when pressed against him. To say he's shocked is an understatement and he's looking down where their bodies meet to try and figure it out because surely he would've noticed earlier, the snark was on his team for heaven's sake!

He then feels a hand on his scalp and a sharp yank on his hair that brings his head up to meet a very annoyed and unimpressed gaze "are you even listening to me?" And wow, he always knew that the Brainiac had feminine features but they just look so much more pronounced up close. Thick eyelashes framing tired brown doe eyes, full lips that hide sharp teeth and a sharp tongue (do not think about the bite do not), he can practically smell the light scent of jasmine and-. Oh.

There's a small thin line across the others forehead that could be mistaken for a forehead crease but up close, yeah, that's definitely a wig lining.

The harsh hold on his hair suddenly loosens and it turns into what's basically a soothing caress through his hair, bringing his attention back to what the mujar in front of him is saying (that he was not paying attention to, oops) and he catches the latter part. "-so just apologise to Owen, he'll forgive you, and don't embarrass him like that again without his consent, you'll find he's willing to do a lot for the bit" she then unlocks the door and guides him out. Just as she's about to close the door she stops "could you do me a favour and not vote Duncan out until I tell you to? You're more than welcome to show him that he's not welcome here but just don't vote him out." With that the door is closed and Alejandro is left staring at it. Apparently he needs to go have a conversation with a certain butter donkey so he leaves to go find him (it's clear that 'Noah' isn't leaving anytime soon so it's clearly a safer strategy to stay on His? Her? Good side. Nothing else).

The silence in the cockpit is broken by Chef huffing "I thought I was gonna have to kick yous out for making out, that'd be traumatic" "Surrreee, like you and Chris aren't? I've seen things I don't wanna see and it was gross, literally disgusting". "It was just a peck on the lips" "yeah, disgusting it's like watching your parents be affectionate, ew" "whatever kid, look, you know that if you need help with anything that isn't challenge related that we're here right?" "Yeah, I know. Not challenge related?" "Good. I learned from last season, only form an alliance with a contestant for challenges if I want them eliminated as soon as possible. Get them done for cheating and all" "huh, smart" "I know".

Neha practically skips back to first class because that was a very successful and productive conversation! It's only then that she remembers she isn't in her whole outfit so she gets changed properly, shrugging off the fact that Alejandro saw her like that because honestly, nobody else on the show has clicked on yet so why would he?

Later when the whole team is in first class Neha starts to rummage through her pockets before turning to the other girls. She (not very subtly at all which caught Gwen's attention) then stage whispers "do you wanna come to the cargo hold with me, I smuggled something in from area 51 and wanna check it out"

The three of them look at each other and agree.

To their surprise, they end up walking to the cockpit where Chef is. Neha basically slams the door open and locks it before smirking at Chef. "Do you wanna get revenge on Chris for his stunt in Japan?" "... What you got planned kid?" "I'm gonna take that as a yes. Give me your phone, I need to text the girls."

how plave members would react to you farting in a crowded elevator

yejun

absolutely covers for you. zero hesitation.

“sorry, that was me... my stomach’s been weird today.” he even puts a hand on his stomach to really sell the act.

meanwhile, you’re standing there like a statue. eyes forward, face bright red. trying (not) to disintegrate.

and this man??

just casually wraps an arm around your waist, pulls you closer, and gives your shoulder a little squeeze like: “I got you.”

later, once you’ve survived the ride and stumbled into the hallway, he looks at you— dead serious:

“you owe me, babe.” “for what?”

“for taking the fall for a category five bio-weapon. that thing had layers.”

because if you think he wouldn’t tease you later, you’re strongly mistaken. BUT he’s gentle with it. He just really, really enjoys watching you squirm!! MHM!!!!

noah

if you think this man will cover for you right off the bat, think AGAIN!

he smells it. blinks. looks around. then his eyes land on you—standing stiff, lips pressed tight, visibly fighting for your life.

immediately starts laughing. loud.

you shoot him a glare, full death mode.

he only laughs harder. like gasping-for-air, bent-over laughing.

eventually—eventually—he kind of gets it together. clears his throat. still grinning. then, to the rest of the elevator, totally deadpan: “ah sorry, that was me.”

no one buys him. not one person.

but at least he tried.

later, he wraps his arm around your shoulders like nothing happened and goes, “that thing had force, babe. you trying to kill me?”

bamby

first reaction: GASP + full body flinch. covers his nose.

“W-WHO—??? WHAT??”

he whips his head around in horror… then his eyes land on you. frozen. soulless. already halfway to the afterlife.

realization hits him like a freight train.

he panics.

“OH. uh. that was me. yeah. i had… tofu??”

no one believes him. not even close. it's painfully obvious he's covering HAHAH

he starts fake coughing to add realism. fans the air. looks like he’s gonna pass out from his own fake fart. meanwhile you're standing there MORTIFIED.

you both walk out of the elevator with him still trying to sell it and failing miserably.

he feels bad later on and brings you a scented candle as a peace offering. such a thoughtful little peach mhm.

eunho

100% takes the fall, just so he can protect your dignity

at first he looks around suspiciously at first… sniffs once…

his eyes lock on you. you're red and visibly glitching. he sees the shame in your soul.

he gasps a little—dramatic, hand-to-heart—and then quietly says to the elevator:

“ah… that was me. sorry everyone” nobody even questions him because he looks so sincere. he even bows a little. polite. serious.

you could fall to your knees from the emotional damage.

outside, he turns to you, grinning like he just saved a puppy from a burning building.

“you’re so cute when you're embarrassed.” “shut up.” “do it again. i wanna protect you some more.”

everything you do is cute to this man. 11/10, need this in my life </3

haming

i don't think i need to say this but he’d 100% cover for you. and he makes it look effortless.

the second the smell hits, the air shifts.

silence.

suspicion.

you freeze, staring straight ahead, praying to every higher power that no one notices.

but hamin turns his head just slightly. a tiny glance in your direction. enough to make your stomach drop.

then—he speaks.

“sorry. that was me.”

no panic. no extra explanation. just calm, even delivery—and somehow, everyone believes him.

he doesn’t look at you. doesn’t move. just stands there with his hands in his pockets like he didn’t just save your dignity from total destruction.

(though… his ears are a little pink.)

when the doors open, he waits for you to step out first. follows close behind. and once the doors slide shut behind you both, he leans in, voice low, smooth:

“that was bold of you.”

“shut up!!”

“what? it’s cute.”

and yeah—later that night, while you’re wrapped in his arms, half-asleep?

“should I start carrying air freshener for you?”

“hamin, I swear—”

him, smiling into your hair: “just in case.”

because he will tease you. but he does it like he’s in love with you. because he is. MHMM!!

EXTRA: Calligo

he drop a nastier fart instead! True lover boy

[greatwyrmgold]

In Noah Caldwell-Gervais's epic video essay on the entire Resident Evil franchise, he notes that media around much of what he calls "the middle period" of the franchise (RE 4-6, plus spin-offs, animated films, etc from around that part of the timeline) has an unusual take on zombies.

These zombies aren't an apocalyptic force, they're a tool. When they wipe out entire countries, it's part of someone's plan, whether an act of war or some master plot for total global saturation. Caldwell-Gervais argues that this blunts the horror of the zombies, and...well, the way they're used in RE titles, yeah.

But also, this framing of zombies (whether generic walking corpses or the mutated bio-monstrosities of the RE series) could absolutely be played for horror in a smarter narrative. You just have to focus a bit less on the monsters and a bit more on the kinds of systems which dispassionately deploy those monsters, say a few kind sound bites when their apathy and greed kill millions, and start brainstorming an optics-friendly way to use the monsters again.

It's kind of a shame the only narratives (I'm aware of) that set up their zombies as tools of the Powers That Be are ones which don't recognize how to use that setup for some horrifically banal cruelty.

[hawkinslibrary]

anon !!! this is hours later than i meant for it to be, but here's my rambling essay-length response to your ask from earlier !!!!!!!! fair warning, i am just... so stupid and don't know how to properly get my thoughts across so it's a whole Mess 😬

your last text post is so real!! i really don't get the main character death obssesion either. it's honestly funny in a way because st is pretty much the only show that doesn't kill protagonists, and if they do they're brought back, yet there's more main character death talk in this fandom than anyone can take. it's like people just can't accept the duffers ain't about that life??!  

first, i want to clarify that, to me, the main characters have always been joyce, hopper, nancy, jonathan, steve, mike, el, lucas, will, and dustin, with the addition of max in s2 and robin in s3. this is the main group that we follow, these are our protagonists, and everyone else is just secondary, regardless of whether the actor appears in the main credits or not  

now, my post was definitely more aimed at all the talk i've seen about how there has to be a main character death before the show is over. people acting like it’s a given. i personally just really really don't want any of them to die and hate thinking about the possibility lmao

we don’t know how it’s going to end, or what the final season will be like, how dire things will be. they could absolutely switch gears and start killing mains left and right. i feel like waiting until the final season is exactly what so many other shows do anyway, right? so i get the concern, and it makes me a little wary, too. but that’s exactly it – so many other shows do it. it's weird, it’s tired, it’s unnecessary. and, really, the duffers are out here right now saying how much they regret killing chrissy off and she was only in the one episode. so like... imagine them actually trying to kill off one of the mains  

they can’t please everyone, but i do think ultimately they’ll want to try to do right by as many fans of the show as possible, you know? the wrong kind of ending can ruin a show forever. people love these characters and at the end of it all, i think most of us just want to see them thriving  

(and it’s not like will or el or hopper (or brenner) were ever actually dead. they just made the other characters believe they were, and each time there’s been pretty immediate hints that they weren’t gone for good -- the whole situation with will’s body + him talking to joyce through the lights, hopper leaving the eggos for el, no body for hopper + ‘the american’ in the russian prison, no body for brenner – and this show doesn’t shy away from showing bodies. when a character is dead, they want us to know it and feel it) 

even the cast, millie and noah talking about how it's so big someone *has* to die, right? THEY LITERALLY DON'T. yes, it's a big battle and there should be losses but there is no reason for that to be main characters. like you said, is that unrealistic (and maybe a little ridiculous)?? well, yeah, but so is the show. realism has never been a priority in st. the show is literally a sappy sci-fi horror. and not killing protagonists is part of their formula, just like separating everyone into groups and then bringing them together in the finale is  

i think millie and noah were just joking when they said to start killing everyone, even their own characters, off. like, yeah, the cast is pretty big right now and a ton of characters were added for this season specifically, but they’ve all had their own roles to play and barely exist outside of those parts. chrissy, fred, patrick, they were all brought on just to be killed off – probably the same to be said for more new characters by the end of this season. and i think millie even said something about the duffers being afraid of or even just refusing to kill main characters. but why is killing main characters such a normal thing now? why do we have to expect for characters we love to die horribly for like... no reason?  

i've said it before, but this show absolutely is unrealistic and ridiculous AND cheesy. but it’s rooted in inspiration and references to 80s media, which is also something that i tend to think of as unrealistic and ridiculous and cheesy, so i mean it in the best way possible. it does its job. it's sappy and nostalgic, has an intense focus on love and family and friendship, while also playing on like... every major genre and trope from the era that they can fit into however many episodes and however many hours. i think some people take pieces of it way more seriously than the creators ever intended. they want it to be good, obviously, but also they’re huge nerds and they just want to have fun with it 

i'm absolutely worried about some of the more side characters this season, and i know losing any of them is going to hurt, too. they're very good at making you care about a secondary character only to rip them away from you. but if this was just any other show, we would’ve probably already seriously lost a main character or two  

i've seen people actually criticize this a lot because "it takes away from scenes like the end of dear billy because i know max won't die" and i guess that's valid criticism in some ways but i think people forget that that's literally just NOT the point of that scene. like, if they wanted you to be afraid max would actually like die, you would be. they've had every chance to kill main characters before. they could have killed nancy at the end of ep7 but they didn't. they're not even TRYING to get people scared for her, actually. that's why she's in the teaser and a bunch of bts and why they're not being suspenseful about her fate at all. st doesn't kill main characters. because they. don't. want. to. and they don't want people to be scared of that either, otherwise they'd be a lot more hush hush about stuff. this is something that has been true since s01.

again, why does it even matter? if you know that she isn’t going to die? death isn’t the only possible ending, and it’s not the only consequence, and she’s still very much in danger. there are still so many things that can happen, things that can go wrong, without having to make things so Final. i'm sorry if it starts feeling repetitive that main characters Aren’t being killed off ? but again, why are we just so accepting that that’s a normal response lol  

people around these characters have been dying since s1. like directly or indirectly, because of their involvement with the main characters, because of something the main characters have done. that's messed up enough ! we should be worried about everyone who isn’t listed above that’s ever interacted with one of the mains before even thinking to worry about them. it's a part of that endless suffering i mentioned. guilt, trauma, angst, suffering, only to die in the end anyway... it's just miserable 

they "kill" el and immediately add a scene of hopper taking eggos to the woods. they "kill" hopper and immediately add "the american". st makes fans suffer by putting their main characters through hell, but they don't kill them. that's actually something i love about the show. and some people may find that ridiculous or an error (and yeah, dead loved ones coming back again and again is anything but realistic) but it's very much intentional and has been since day 1 and changing that at the last second would be a huge mistake. one i don't think they'd ever make. (and that's not even talking about how death would ruin most character arcs and make their whole story pointless). anyway, i'm with you with hating the death obssesion around here!! they're so not going there, though, i'm fairly certain we're right 💙 

again, we're talking about the people who have said they immediately regretted killing characters who've only appeared in one episode. people who said they would leave the show if certain characters were killed off. people who write lines like: "she saves your life because of friendship", which, yes, was said incredulously, but should actually be considered a blueprint of the show. one memory of her mother saying she loved her was enough for el to beat henry in that first fight. it's a show literally about underdogs persevering against all odds ("chances of success..." "never tell me the odds")

and just...

killing certain characters would make other seasons of the show completely pointless, others would cause major major major backlash, others have already 'died' AND done the 'sacrifice themselves for everyone else' thing so doing it again but actually dying this time would be stupid, others would completely kill the nostalgia/rewatchability factor, and some would just be cruel. this covers the entire major cast

this is just my thought process on it anyway haha. like, they still could definitely kill someone, but i just think it’d be a bad idea. there's many more interesting and less final ways to go about it idk

izzie’s favorite movies and tv shows of 2020 (aka the worst year ever)

another year, another movie and tv show review. this year has, to put it simply, sucked. 2020 has been so terribly awful that sometimes the only light you can see are the absolute bangers of movies and tv shows that came out this year. with that being said, some of the movies and tv shows didn't come out in 2020. if the are mentioned in this post it is because they either: had a season come out this year, i found them this year, or they became popular this year.

SPOILERS: it may not come as a surprise but just in case you didn't realize, there will be many spoilers ahead, read at your own risk.

tw // death, suicide, drug use, mild adult language. if any of these things might trigger you, i strongly urge you not to read this post.

there is no specific order of these shows and movies, i'm just writing as they come to mind. if you enjoy any of these movies or tv shows, or if you have any suggestions for me, please let me know!

TV SHOWS

1) Santa Clarita Diet

Okay, so I know this show doesn't have anything to do with 2020. But, I found this show in 2020. I put it off for a while, thinking it wasn't my style of a show, but boy was I wrong. I loved this show. Sheila Hammond (Drew Barrymore) is a normal suburban wife and mom. She is a real estate agent with her husband Joel (Timothy Olyphant). She struggles with the fact that she isn't very adventurous. This all changes when she throws up an insane amount at a house showing. She then finds herself craving adventure, and craving human flesh. Yeah, she's a zombie. Not only is this show super hilarious, but it also shows the growth that they have with their characters and their family. I'm also team Abby (Liv Hewson) and Eric (Skyler Gisondo).

2) Outer Banks

So, I'm from NC. And, watching this show at first bothered me because I can very obviously tell this show isn't actually filmed in the obx, and the geography isn't exact, but once I got past that, I loved it. John B (Chase Stokes) is a teenager that lives in the poor side of the outer banks. He has a friend group called the Pogues which consists of JJ (Rudy Pankow), Pope (Jonathan Daviss), and Kie (Madison Bailey). They absolutely hate the Kooks, which are the rich kids. A while after John B's dad gets lost at sea, presumed dead, the group finds some evidence that may solve the mystery, and make them rich. In the process, John B falls in love with a Kook names Sarah (Madelyn Cline) whose father Ward (Charles Esten) may have a little more to do with the mystery than he let on. Through friendship, murder, and secrets, the gang may just figure out what happened to John B's dad.

3) Love, Victor

Alright. I loved loved loved Love, Simon. I also really loved the book "Simon vs. the Homosapien Agenda." So, when I heard about this show, I was so excited. Victor (Michael Cimino) is a teenage boy that moved to Creekwood with his family. He meets Felix (Anthony Turpel) who lives in his building. He also meets Mia (Rachel Hilson) and they begin dating. But, he also meets Benji (George Sear). While trying to get used to a new school, new friends, and a new relationship, Victor finds himself questioning his sexuality. With the help of Simon (Nick Robinson) and his friends, Victor finds it in himself to finally come out, and he admits his feelings, for Benji. This is such a good show, but I was so upset when season 1 ended on a cliff-hanger.

4) The Haunting of Bly Manor

The sequel to The Haunting of Hill House. Now listen, haunting of hill house was an absolute banger. When I saw that Bly came out I nearly died. I was so excited. But, I was alone in my apartment and also a lil bitch. So, I had to wait a week until I was home with my family to watch it. Now, I was so excited to be scared, and there were a few jump scares and ominous moments, but this season was more centered around the story line of Dani Clayton (Victoria Pedretti) and her new life in a foreign country. When seeing an ad for a live in job as an au pair. When she gets there, she meets the two young children she’ll be looking out for and the other workers of the house, including the gardener, Jamie (Amelia Eve). Throughout her stay at Bly she begins to notice weird behaviors from both children and by the end of the series she sacrifices herself for the children. Sadly, this story is being told by Jamie who Dani had fallen in love with during her stay at Bly. Now I was somewhat upset about the lack of horror, but was still very intrigued and drawn in by this series.

5) Julie and the Phantoms

Alright, at first I was not gonna watch this show. I thought it looked a little too young and childish for me, but everyone was talking about it on twitter so I had to. I. Love. This. Show. This show centers around Julie (Madison Reyes). Julie is a teenage girl who, sadly, lost her mother. The one major thing she shared with her mom, was their love for music. Since her mothers passing, she gave up music. This is until, dead musicians from the 90′s show up in her garage. Luke (Charlie Gillespie), Alex (Owen Joyner), and Reggie (Jeremy Shada) all tragically passed away in the 90′s after eating bad street hotdogs. When Julie finds their CD in her garage, she decides to play it and they come back in ghost form. But, only she can see them. With their help, she finds her confidence to play music again. Also, she has to find away for them to stay because they’re slowly disappearing. 

6) Derry Girls

Bitch. I love this show. And yeah it didn’t come out in 2020. Shut up. I found this show recently after watching the cast on the holiday special of the Great British Baking Show. I loved the actors so I had to watch the show. This show focuses on Erin (Saoirse-Monica Jackson) a 16 year old girl that lives in Derry, Northern Ireland in the 90′s. Alongside her is her cousin Orla (Louisa Harland), her two friends Clare (Nicola Coughlan) and Michelle (Jamie-Lee O’Donnell), and Michelle’s English cousin James (Dylan Llewellyn). During these years, a lot of people in Ireland struggled, especially because it was during wartime. Even thought this show isn’t focused heavily around the war, it’s amazing to see these teens live a fulfilling life while struggling with the state of their country, and the lack of money that their families have. 

7) Elite

HA. This show did have a season in 2020 so leave me alone. But bro, I love this show. At first, I didn’t watch it because I thought I could only watch the dubbed version in English, which I hate. I hate dubbed shows they look so weird. But, once I found out I could watch this show in Spanish, I fell in love. But, sadly, theres too damn much to talk about in one little post. It’s crazy. But basically it just follows the lives of teens in high school that are trying to survive. And no, not in the “I’m surviving high school,” sense. No, people be getting murdered. 

MOVIES (tbh i didn’t find a lot of movies good this year lmk which movies u liked this year and maybe i’ll like them!)

1) All the Bright Places

After the death of her sister, Violet (Elle Fanning) is devastated. She closes herself off, and has her parents get her out of doing school work that involves working with others. But, as time goes on, they realize she may need to start to move on. Violet then meets Finch (Justice Smith) who is enamored by Violet. He suggests they do a project together. While finding and visiting some of the smallest wonders of their state, they begin to fall for each other. While you are focusing on Violet and her mental health, you tend to miss some of the signs that Finch’s mental health isn’t great either, but by the time you do, it could be too late. 

2) Dangerous Lies

Hmm. This was weird for me. I had only ever seen Camila Mendes in Riverdale, and honestly, not a fan. So, Katie (Camila Mendes) and her husband Adam (Jessie T. Usher) are struggling with money. Katie decides to take a job working for an elderly man, and eventually gets her husband hired there as well. Unfortunately, he dies, but for some odd reason, leaves the house and all of his fortune, to Katie. As they get comfortable in the house, they begin to uncover some very weird and dangerous lies. 

3) The Devil All the Time

Ok. Iconic. You got so many hot men in this movie. Bill Skarsgård, Sebastian Stan, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson. C’mon now. That’s crazy. But, this story is so long and in depth that I wouldn’t even know where to begin. This movie is a bit disturbing. It involves murder, sexual assault, killing of animals, and so much more so if that’s an issue for you please do not watch this movie. It was also quite long, but it was still good.

4) After We Collided

Okay just listen. I was that teenager. I read wattpad stories and was, embarrassingly, addicted to After. This was not a great movie per say, but it was After. This is a sequel to the movie After. This movie centers around Tessa (Josephine Langford) and her recovery after her breakup with Hardin (Hero Fiennes Tiffin). Theres sex, alcohol, bad acting. The whole nine-yards. But c’mon, they’re so cute together.

5) To All the Boys p.s. I Still Love You

Okay it was a good movie. I enjoyed it. This movie focuses on Lara Jean (Lana Condor) and her boyfriend Peter (Noah Centineo) and their relationship post the first movie. But of course relationships aren’t super steady, and John Ambrose McClaren (Jordan Fisher) shows up. Yeah, John Ambrose, from her letter. They become closer and Lara Jean has to decide who she wants to be with. Spoiler, it’s Peter. BOOOOOOO justice for John Ambrose McClaren, he deserved better. 

[wise-the-will]

okay I'm going to rant about byler in your inbox if you don't mind, honestly Mike and Will's relationship is so wholesome it hurts. every bad patch of their friendship just bring them closer and make them better people. I know there's antis and such like "Mike is growing out of Will's childish behavior", but Mike isn't, he really isn't. their love is honestly inspirational, like they're the reason I believe in love even if they're not canon. Mike is literally a definition of I hate pretty much everyone but you. if you touch him I will eliminate you. and both of them are really soft supportive boyfriends. Mike trusts Will so much it's scary, will was literally possessed and Mike still had his trust in him. and will, I feel like will be the person to allow Mike to hurt him mentally but not leave him. and that much trust could be toxic on both sides(depending on who your with and im not trying to romantize this at all!!! Will is definitely trying to work on letting people walk all over him) but with them it's like they're literally soulmates. and yes I'm all talking about in this world that the duffer Brothers have created not Finn and Noah in the slightest. but just imagine will supporting Mike every step through him becoming an author. and Mike doing the same supporting will every step to become an artist. unlike mileven they actually make each other better people, and don't tear each other down. Mike only acts On emotion when he's with Will because he actually loves will. and will is so honest to Mike, more honest to mike than his own mother. its precious, truly.

okay theories and scenario type things:

1) they would be the couple that everyone in the neighborhood hates because they're supposed to be homophobic but there is definitely some if not most neighbors that do not like them because they are gay but think they're amazing and so so kind.

2) they get along with each other's families so well it's amazing, Mike and Joyce just *screech* Joyce takes care of Mike like son( in law). and like I said will and HollYY.

3) they would most definitely end up getting a demonic cat and call and exorcist because they have seen way too many horror movies (thanks will) and have lived through too many, to know how bad this is going to get.

4) will get so incredibly messy when he paints like, his artwork is wonderful and not messy at all it's like a piece of well, artwork. so sometimes he hugs Mike after he finishes painting and Mike has to take a shower because of how much paint got on him.

5) if Mike does become an author and I really think he will, I imagine him not telling will until will reads his book that he made one of those little pages like thank you sections, and just talked about how much he loved will.

6) will has to have a therapist, because of PTSD, overall mental health things, and his father. but Mike needs one too. and will has tried so hard to make mike go see the same therapist so he can get help with his stuff.

thats all i could think of but if i think of anything i will send it over your way if you don't mind. also i have a post somewhere on my blog about adult byler headcannons so if you wanna see more of some i have :)

First off I’m so sorry I responded to this like 2 days late but here we go

Like you said they really do care for each other a lot and I feel like they would both go to the ends of this EARTH just to save each other because you know that’s just what loves about and they’re deeply in love and it’s so soft and fluffy and adorable and they make me cry sometimes

They balance each other really well especially since Mike is like such a touchy person and Will is just right for that but they balance each other’s personalities as well, and not just emotionally because Will has had problems with not wanting to be treated around like he’s fragile glass and yeah he had a terrible father that called him slur and then a couple years later he somehow went into another dimension being chased by some monster and fighting for his life because that’s scary as hell and then a year later gets possessed by this demonic shadow monster and he’s scared shitless but he for sure isn’t fragile, he’s tough and I can’t wait to see that in season 4 and mike definitely doesn’t treat him like that because he knows what he’s been through

1) there would for sure be those homophobes because it’s the 80’s and I totally agree that some would think they’re sweet and kind

2) they do get along with each other’s families especially Joyce and Mike, because Joyce just knows and does trust Mike the most out of all Wills friends because she literally let mike inside in season 2 because her son was being possessed and I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t let any of the other friends do that especially since the shed scene

3) Thank you for noticing my dumb chaotic cat head canon it was honestly just to be funny but honestly this would probably happen and I’m super glad that you put this in here

4) TOP TIER MESSY, he’s painting and all of a sudden he gets mike all painted up because hugs him or kisses him and then mikes just complaining like “stop you’re getting me all messy” and “great now I have to take a shower” but internally he loves it and he loves Will and he’s happy with Will and it’s just cute and fluffy

5) Will would be so supportive but then he reads mikes little thingy and he says something along the lines of “you should really become a writer you really talented with this stuff” and Mike just says “I already plan on becoming a writer just wanted your opinion” or something like that

6) Will for sure would beg mike to go to his therapist with him because that therapist has like really helped but because Mike is so damn STUBBORN he keeps saying no for god knows what reason, maybe because he feels like her ok compared to Will but he’s definitely not and Will knows this and I feel like they would definitely get in a fight about this and Will would let a tear fall and yell something along the lines of “you need this just as much as I do so don’t FUCKING pretend that you don’t need this as much as I do” and they’re both crying and mike finally agrees and says he’s sorry and they kiss and cuddles so close it looks like so impossible to be that close but they’re comforted and they tell each other they love each other so many times

You’re definitely free to send more and sorry I didn’t get to this sooner and I’ll definitely check out some of your byler thingys
