So. Lmao. Either the first sentence gives you a character and important action, or it was a long day. Considering that one of those fics was written five years ago and only posted last month, I've clearly had this pattern for a while.
I tag @thefoundationproject, @ranger-jedi-knight, @campfire-octopus, @personontheswing, @kckenobi, @tarantula-hawk-wasp, and anyone else who wants to play!

anyone else's conception of their relationships with others run like a faulty 2fa where if people aren't constantly authenticating their apparent good regard/affection/slightly-more-positive-than-mere-tolerance for you, then you think they actually highly dislike you and have pretended to care the whole time?
#you cant check 'have this device remember i love them for 30 days' with me lol#it simply doesnt work!#like. oh okay. we talked good last time we saw each other. but that was last time#things could have changed since yesterday/however much time#maybe in the meantime theyve had a think and concluded that im actually quite annoying and Bad#this is proven True (to me) when they barely acknowledge my presence the next time we see each other#(and this is all largely in the context of work acquaintances anymore bc hey. im a dork ass loser with no actual friends)#(but also in the context of friends as well right? like. yeah#they seemed cool last convo but that could change quickly and easily#bc people are fickle and im easily discardable you see as i have no real reason for people to want to associate with me#i need to know we're still good. we're still good. are we still good? do you still like me? it's been a day tell me we're still good please#but you cant ask people that straight out bc apparently it's offensive or some shit#but like. how could they blame me? lmao it's me. im imherently unlikable as demonstrated by the evidence#so if someone tries to act like they think im worth something.....Highly Suspicious#the lie comes out eventually lol. the people who claim to like me do actually think im annoying#theyre just too chickenshit to tell me to my face but they can bitch about me to someone else#this is based on past experience btw. im not just doomer fantasizing bc Mental Health Lies or whatever nonsense#like i know you all find me annoying as shit lmao#and yet i persist for some unknowable reason#to the void with love

hey!! saw you reblogging some of your butch bea stuff & just wanted to tell you that it lowkey changed my life and that if you ever want to revisit that universe you’d have at least one very avid & enthusiastic reader. there’s no pressure though — im grateful it exists at all!!
[i am going to be completely honest, i have no idea what this little prompt fill is but i love butch bea sm, it's soft & basically plotless. feeling so normal about her this pride month lol. also some lilith pov for the culture.]
//
not that you like people, but if you had to pick a favorite, under deep duress, beatrice would be at the top of your list. not that you would ever, ever tell her that, but, unfortunately, you're also pretty certain she knows. and, to your utter horror, you find that you have a reluctant soft spot for ava — you try to contribute it to beatrice being your sister, and therefore ava is basically your sibling-in-law, because they're not married yet but you watched beatrice say goodbye and you watched her grieve and you watched her fall in love, disgustingly, every second of every day, when ava returned. and, sure, ava is steadfast and faithful and far too brave and saved the world, twice, but, like. his relentless optimism and terrible sense of humor is too much sometimes.
but, you remind yourself when you get his text — he's your family too. someone who should have never forgiven you, you remember, like acid leaking in your stomach, but ava has always been too generous. and so you answer with an eye-roll emoji but also I'll be there in ten.
it's not the first day that ava has asked for help, and you're sure it won't be the last, but these days don't happen all that often anymore. you understand, though: your wings ache and sit heavy some nights when you can't sleep, and even if you fly over mountain ranges or tropical fjords or the flat, gorgeous planes of the savannah, deserts and oceans, the world — this admittedly beautiful earth, better than all the heavens — isn't quite enough to hold your sorrow. or, maybe it holds it along with you, and you can't quite put it down.
so you diligently mask your scales with jillian's annoying but very useful tech, and you put on an outfit that nun-you would have deemed inappropriate and nun-beatrice would have blushed furiously at, and teleport from your favorite room, tucked away in the middle of nowhere on a tiny island off the coast of iceland to beatrice and ava's sunny, big house on the beach. it's cool today, though, the day covered in a marine layer that's lingered for months. beatrice looks surprised when you show up in their kitchen, where she's staring off into space while, apparently, very slowly unloading the dishwasher. ava says hello from the living room, where you assume they're on the couch with korra by their side.
'hello, lilith.'
you pop a fresh grape into your mouth from the bowl sitting there in lieu of greeting.
'those are for ava,' beatrice says, and her hands shake and you can tell from the set of her shoulders that ava was right, that the world stings in your palms and up your spine, and sometimes you just need someone to see you through it until it calms.
'he can share,' you say, eat another one and swipe the bowl with beatrice scowling after you as you walk into the living room. ava is, unexpectedly, watching some reality tv drivel — so what if you're caught up on all ten seasons of vanderpump rules, it reminds you of hell if anyone asks — but she smiles sincerely when you hand her the bowl, one you're pretty certain beatrice had sculpted and glazed with her own hands.
'i can share a few,' ava says, and you don't bother to stop yourself from scratching korra's head in greeting when ava nods. you can admit that korra is awesome; she has loyalty to ava but at least you can understand that one. she's wearing a hoodie you know is beatrice's favorite, so it's ava's favorite too, and a beanie; ava hadn't mentioned it, but you know on really bad days her body has trouble regulating its internal temperature too — and if the pile of blankets at the foot of the couch is anything to go by, you're guessing that's happening too.
'you've looked better.'
ava rolls her eyes and beatrice flicks you on the back of the head. 'so have you,' ava says, but you look hot and so you know by that lackluster insult she really is in a good deal of pain.
'ava's back is bad today,' beatrice says, as if that wasn't completely obvious from the way ava has a heating pad and special pillow and is propped up on the couch with korra attentively lying next to her, ready to get anything or alert if she needs to.
'lots of hand spasms,' ava says, 'which are the worst, who knew?'
the only reason you refrain from making a dirty joke is because you'd never want them to think you have ever, for one moment, thought about their sex life. 'well, i'm taking beatrice for a bit,' you say, which is just what ava asked for, 'so maybe some heavier duty pain meds and a nap? we can bring you a late lunch.'
you feel beatrice stiffen behind you. 'i need to be here today,' she says, clipped and anxious. 'what if ava —'
'what if i what, bea?' ava says, without any malice, but with a glint in her eye that even you know to be careful of. 'i just need to sleep today and watch some stupid tv. we can go through all my rehab exercises in the evening again, like we always do.'
beatrice's jaw is clenched, and she bites her bottom lip.
'bea,' ava says, and reaches for her hand, and, not for the first time at all, do you feel a little out of place. lonely, and sad, and aching: they are in love, however much it annoys you. there's a care there that you're fairly certain you will never have, and never be able to give.
'a few hours, beatrice,' you say. 'that's all.'
ava had texted that beatrice had been losing track of time and tasks all morning, which is a sign you'd all started to understand as a bad ptsd day, not infrequently leading to a panic attack or a flashback if she's left to her own devices. usually, they won't have bad days at the same time, some divine knowledge of something, but today the stars hadn't lined up.
but beatrice sighs and then nods: she knows herself, knows when her brain is misfiring or misaligned, when things aren't quite as real as they should be. ava's hands are in painful, involuntary fists and so it's up to you today, to hold beatrice's through it.
'great, now that that's settled,' you say, when she offers nothing else. you take her wrist and, just for fun, teleport her right into the middle of the ocean, until she's spluttering and yelling but then, blessedly, lets out a laugh. you teleport her right back to her shower and even ava is grinning from inside. 'get ready,' you tell her, throw a towel at her from the neat stack in their patio bin. 'see you in fifteen.'
'don't have too much fun catching up on vanderpump rules without me,' she says, color back in her cheeks and a clarity seeping into her eyes.
'i hate that show.'
'sure,' she says, dismissing you with a wave of her hand, and, fine, you do join ava on the couch, but it's only because he's high and divulges, eagerly, beatrice's latest cooking mishap. beatrice comes in from their bedroom a few minutes later, looking a little steadier still, in soft, tailored pants and an oversized t-shirt, tucked in precisely. she's put contacts in and has sunglasses slipped into the collar of her shirt, a thick, fancy watch on her wrist. ava, even in a lot of pain, looks like they might start drooling. 'great.' you fling a pair of pristine birkenstocks at beatrice, who catches them with a scowl, 'you look fine to be in public. let's go.'
'bye, baby,' ava says, frustratingly unfazed by you. beatrice smiles, gently, her eyes clear for the moment when all she has to focus on is ava, and kisses her forehead, gently cups her jaw in her hand. 'love you, have fun.'
'i love you too,' beatrice says.
'no fun,' you say, and ava's still laughing as you touch beatrice's elbow and teleport on your way.
/
'this is my sister, lilith,' beatrice introduces, and, like, whatever, your heart swells in your chest and you feel warm and kind. you sink into it — only for a moment.
'nice to meet you,' beatrice's barber says, offering her hand with a genuine, easy smile, not batting an eye that you and beatrice look absolutely nothing alike; you feel warm and kind again when you think about beatrice talking about you as her sister to people you've never met, that you matter to her enough to mention. 'i'm xavi.'
'xavi, cool.'
beatrice sits down in the chair, comfortable and present, even though her hands still shake, but it's clear that this is a space she's always been made to feel safe. somewhere she's always been made to feel seen, which you realized, over the past few years, she had never had, despite how much you had — and still do — still love her.
'same thing, bea?' xavi asks.
bea nods. 'you can take the skin fade up a little higher, i think. it just grows so fast.'
xavi nods. 'sounds good.'
and it's not like you don't spend a fair amount of your time with beatrice and ava, because they live somewhere beautiful and it brings you deep joy to annoy them, and, like, drag brunches and queer bars are admittedly very fun, but to see your sister just be is kind of moving. and maybe she realizes that too, that it's special you're here, that it's special you're allowed to be here, in this space that is very much hers, the quiet hum of the clippers in the background, while she chats with her barber about the latest ridiculous episodes of love island — which, yes, you have watched; yes, you do participate in the conversation after beatrice includes you immediately, because you're only so strong and it's always been a summer tradition of yours to watch nightly — and they laugh together. you laugh too, and then all of a sudden beatrice is crying, and xavi turns the clippers off carefully. beatrice snakes a hand out from under her cape and tries to wipe her eyes.
'i apologize,' she says, really trying to get it under control. 'i — sorry.'
'she's having a weird day,' you offer, and beatrice nods with a sniffle. you don't bother to explain further — that's beatrice's to tell, if she ever wants to — but it seems to calm beatrice a little bit.
'sorry,' she says again. 'i — i'm just happy to be here,' she says, adds a quiet, 'as i am,' and xavi just squeezes her shoulder.
'i'm happy about that too.'
beatrice lets out a big breath and steadies herself; you feel relieved too that you won't have to deal with a panic attack in the middle of a barber shop while beatrice's hair isn't nearly faded properly. 'i never cry.'
you roll your eyes. 'if by "never" you mean five to ten times a week...'
beatrice shoots you a glare through the mirror and you just grin, all teeth.
xavi laughs a little and turns the clippers back on. 'it's okay,' she says. 'you're secret's safe with me.'
/
admittedly, beatrice's hair does look great, a clean fade and a little messy pomade on top, but you've already complimented her on this haircut twice so you're certainly not doing that again. you walk with her along the street her barbershop is on, that she knows well and it hits you quietly that you know it well too. you don't have a home — you haven't had a home in a while — but this might come close.
years ago, before the war, before all of it, on a bad day the two of you would go at it for hours sparring, blood on your knuckles and along your teeth and once mother superion had been irate when you got such a good shot in beatrice's eye was swollen shut for days — but there is no war anymore. there are small battles, but beatrice hasn't fought since she got hurt; even though she's better now, with a sturdy rod down her femur and scars that don't seem to bother her much down her abdomen, you think, unofficially, that she's not ever going to fight again.
you don't have the same fate, you know, but for today you look beautiful in an easy bright blue shift dress and sunglasses, your hair dark and long, and beatrice's hands have stopped shaking.
'sushi?' you ask, a reach, maybe, but when she smiles you know you were right.
it makes you realize, too, when you sit down at a restaurant you've come to so many times with her — and ava, too — that you know the server, who greets you both by name and brings you shishito peppers and spicy edamame without you even having to order. beatrice relaxes in her chair after a second on the patio, lets out another deep breath.
'all right?'
she takes her sunglasses off and nods. 'thank you.'
you shake your head. 'you're my sister.'
you mean it: i have not forgotten who you are; i have not forgotten who i am. you mean it: i love you. even if the words get stuck in your chest, even if you can't quite say them — you mean it.
'plus,' you say, 'you're paying, and i'm ordering the best sake on the menu.'
she laughs, bright and easy, and shrugs. 'you know the catholic church and my horrible parents are footing the bill anyway. we should order whatever we want.'
you remember when you were nineteen and beatrice was brand new to the ocs, how much you felt frustrated by her, deeply: she was earnest, and so serious, and very hurt, but kind in a way you never could be. the pressure sat heavy on both of your shoulders, but she held it with grace. 'could you have imagined this life when we first met?'
she seems as surprised by your question as you are that you even asked it, but her smile is easy and she runs a hand along her buzzed hair with a laugh. 'i think i would have had a heart attack if anyone had told me even a sliver of what my life is now.'
you wait a beat but then you do laugh, because it's true. your server brings you your sake and some sashimi you'd ordered, along with some scallops that are your favorite. ava sends a text in the group chat the three of your have — which you refuse to really participate in, but fine — saying that she's doing fine, that she had to take a fever reducer but korra's been on top of anything she needed to get so ava hasn't had to try to get up, that the protein smoothie beatrice had made her had been fine and she's just going to try to sleep some more. it makes beatrice relax even more, palpably, and you understand, in some way.
'you've retired, haven't you?'
she calmly swallows her tuna and then puts down her chopsticks. 'fighting? yes.'
it's simple and it's big and it's quiet. you knew already.
'but i'll be around. you know i enjoy research, archival, collaborations with jillian. i'm not — this will always be part of my life.' it's unspoken too: you will always be part of my life. and you know she means it.
'good,' you say, and for the first time in longer than you can really remember it feels like you're able to offer a benediction.
her eyes are soft as the clouds burn off, finally, as the afternoon turns warm. 'i — i want to live a long life.'
you can't say anything, but you can nod. you want that too — for her, for all of you. 'plus,' you say, 'ava was even worse than normal when you got blown up.'
she rolls her eyes, as glad for the levity as you are. you drink more sake and order more sushi and laugh as you watch people walk by on the street and beatrice offers — delightfully and playfully kind of mean — commentary about some of them. she's been your person for a long time, you remember, her gentleness despite bullets and arrows and bombs, despite holy wars, despite knuckles — yours, or hers, or both — split open to the bone. beatrice holds her chopsticks easily, steadily, and the scars on the tops of her hands shine white in the sun, but they've faded. you can only see them if you know where to look.

Update~
Spoilers for the new TB mission~
Finally finished the new Trailblaze Mission! I would like to make a formal apology to Aventurine! His playboy mask had me fooled. I really enjoyed getting to see his backstory, definitely seeing him in a new light now…lemme just…rewrite some of my drafts…
I quite enjoyed everyone just straight up calling Sunday crazy, that was very deserved. I get that he’s suffering and being paranoid and a control freak is a bad combo but he was REALLY acting wild, wow. You mean to tell me those…birds are…always watching us for him…? K….
What ARE you, Gallagher????? A minion of Enigmata sure but??? When Sunday was describing him it implied that “Gallagher” wasn’t real and just some sort of disguise?? I’m pretty confident the whole “I’m thirteen” thing doubled as Sarcasm and a reference to death or misfortune though, because he gave us a WHOLE backstory that I’m…assuming is at least partly true? And had to have happened a while ago. And Siobhan seemed to have some sort of history with him. It can’t just be a case of stolen identity like Sparkle imitating Sampo…”Gallagher” was created based off The Family…hm. “At his age I was a little terror, biting everyone in sight.” Anyways I guess what I’m trying to say is yes horrific biblically accurate Angel Sunday is good but I’m hoping for horrific monstrous Gallagher to happen too, lol~ I would…really appreciate any Gallagher theories if any of you have them. I know we can’t really say anything with certainty yet of course but I don’t have really any guesses of my own haha.
And don’t worry I’ll survive the Sam identity reveal though it is painful that he is actually just a suit lol.
Im sure I have more thoughts but I’m not thinking them right now lol. Good update, did enjoy, surprised that Gallagher was the biggest thing I apparently focused on??? But I DID really love all the Aventurine stuff, AND his gameplay was cool, AND his boss kept me on my toes. I considered my party pretty good and I got NERVOUS a few times but I’m curious as to how we would have held up if it was pre adjustment haha.
Also yeah share your thoughts about the update, I’m curious~
Ratio in a constant state of RAGE was very entertaining, Veritas please relax for one second of your life.
Also Boothill was more volatile than I was expecting lol, reLAX Space Cowboy- (I love him already)

I think that Victor Luigi blocked you for telling sm to kill themselves on haterblue, which is funny because he threatened to rip someone limb to limb for asking tree if they could adopt him
Im aware victorluigi blocked me lmfao, I've just accepted it at this point. He doesn't seem to understand that I also own @leafyztar, @bookache and whatever else he's been interacting with, though, lol
I hate hypocrites, but that's kind of strange (funny?) - he'll block me for saying "kys", in a joking manner, in character, to anon who probably would never see it anyway and probably wouldn't take it seriously either even if they did
(Before anyone asks, I am depressed, I am a survivor of a suicide attempt and my big sister killed herself three years ago; i think i'm allowed to poke a little fun at something that affects me, the same way people can reclaim slurs.)
; he wont unblock me no matter what, even though I publicly apologized twice; he still interacts with my other blogs, seemingly unaware that i also own them?
And then, he turns around and says shit like that, with apparently no repercussions or apology!? He drew the line at a very strange place, I must admit, and he is being quite immature.
You know, I'm kind of petty, I might block him back if I could, but I'm not sure how blocking works since I can still see his other blogs (surreal-leafy and the-silly-teardrop, both of which still int with me, and god knows how many others), but i think it is funny
Honestly, I did see the post in which he threatened to rip someone limb to limb. I thought it was horrible, hypocritical and disgusting how he could say something like that so casually with no punishment or apology, and yet he's so petty as to let me apologize TWICE and then still block me. I don't think he deserves to interact with me, and I think he should stay away from me for a little bit, but that's just me being uncomfortable.
I also think it's a little unfair. I believe it was immature and petty not to accept my (several) apologies, and do the same thing to somebody else as if they can't set the same back on him. When the situation happened, I shut down @haterblue for a week, and when I tried to reason with him, he shut me down. From what I can tell, his blog is still up and running, and he doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon.
Also, before he blocked me, he made a callout post for haterblue stating that he doesn't accept my apology. Then, something similar happened, and he made yet another callout post siccing his followers on someone who clearly didn't see what they did wrong-?? And when I, again, tried to reason with him, that's when he blocked me. I don't see why that's fair. Again, I think that was very immature of him, and he could stand to get a bit of scolding. But then again, that's just me being petty.
I'm also going to admit I notice he interacts with a lot of my best friend's roleplay blogs as well, being rude and making bad jokes, and refusing to back down when they ask him to stop. I don't like that. He's generally not a good person to me or the other blogs' mods, and I'm not sure why he's still here if he's just going to be rude and selfish.
I'm honestly not sure how to react. I'm not going to tell anyone to harass him, and I'm not trying to sic you guys on him, but I do think somebody needs to do something about this. I obviously can't, but it would be nice if he gets a little of what he puts on others.
And, if anyone is curious, here's the proof: sent to the Tree blog at some point in May
Tumblr media
Thanks to @nettlebites for finding this for me!

Hello! Had a question about a paragraph from this post of yours* from 2022:
Ngl, and I mean no shade whatsoever, but Lando has never stood out to me. I guess I should pay more attention as he’s ranking quite well in all three standings and I know he’s often considered as a future champion or whatever but in all honesty I’ve not seen it from him just yet. I also genuinely wonder if it would have changed something to his ranking if Daniel had had a better time at McLaren.
I completely agree with this - I'm not a Lando fan for several reasons but his performance in the car, while good, has never really stood out to me. (People saying he proved his talent at Miami aren't seeing the whole picture, imo, because McLaren had a very very (unexpectedly) fast car for some reason that weekend, and also Max did have issues. Not saying that he doesn't deserve it, or that he's a bad driver. He is 3rd in the championship for a reason.) I've also seen that people consider Charles and Lando to be the future champions on the grid (which I sure do have thoughts about), and while to some extent I understand people thinking it for Charles (especially since he's in Ferrari) I don't get it as much for Lando.
Basically, the question was - has your opinion of Lando changed much? Do you still agree with that paragraph? Really curious to see your thoughts on this.
*I can't send links, apparently, so from the 29th of December 2022:
https://vro0m(.)tumblr(.)com/post/704986523908685824/im-curious-to-know-which-ranking-you-agree-with
Hi! How do you guys dig up things from 18 months ago lol
But yes I still essentially agree with what I said then. Still not saying he's not good or overrated or anything, to be clear. But Charles has had impressive quali laps that make you go "damn". Max's and Lewis's overtakes are sometimes so bold you can't help but hold your breath. So far Lando's performance hasn't wowed me in this way. I watch it, it can be good, it doesn't really make me feel anything.

Sorry I just got into this game like 2 months ago and don’t read many switch stories . What did they do in the climax that got people upset? (Switch and other climaxes?) sorry again.
asdhkjksks don't worry, it's really mostly fandom drama! not really something you need or even want to know about
but, with varying levels of detail, this is some of the discourse i saw during the events (most of this refers to arguments that spawned in the waiting time between story updates but not all of them, ex: double face):
crazy:b : story itself wasn't bad i hear but there was quite the uproar because it wasn't written by akira, even though they said he'd write these events
ra*bits: not rly much drama here because not that many people read it but the reveal of who bishoujo-senpai is exactly made impossible many key aspects of other major ra*bits events (sweet halloween, romantic comedy) (and there aren't that many ra*bits major events that can be retconned to begin with lol)
double face: unit was disbanded
atlantis: it seemed like eichi got proposed to by yet another girl even though he was in some arranged marriage deal with tori's sister. And that he hadn't told wataru about either of those things (in the end none of this was true but those 4 days of wait between story updates were agonizing)
valkyrie: this was pretty fine fandom drama-wise ? even though it's valkyrie. EDIT: i deleted the krnz b-plot from my mind. the krnz b-plot was bad. around this time also, the kanata-centric lookback scout abyss was released and they retconned and changed some chiaki and kanata bits in meteor impact it was sad
2wink: yuuta was too mean to shinobu (they hate to see a bpd baddie so he got cancelled on twitter). but it was also a plot built on a veeeery old story so there were also odd characterizations here and there at first that also threw off the actual 2winkP
alkaloid: written by kinosei again, it was just a filler holiday event, not quite a climax so. very disappointing.
undead: complaints about The Whole Thing this was bad. im not too well versed on them so i can't go into detail but from the ai thing to the lack of focus on some members there were many problems. plus it was the first time they posted those story summaries and having an apparently mid story explained again was the final nail on the coffin
akatsuki: i didn't hear much drama about this one either ? but akatsuki have had a streak of bad characterization so maybe it was resignation
trickstar: no complaints trickstar solos
ryuseitai: jury's still out but it seems it was a kind of weird story at first so there was also some discomfort here and there. sounds like it ended nicely though
switch: natsume was ooc (tried to strangle sora and did not even apologize even though normal natsume would've been devastated + was overall way too mean)
and i think that was all??? if anyone knows abt anything else do tell me let's study fandom behavior

Snippet of something im working on rn
this is gonna get lost anyways lol. anyways here's your fanfic formalities:
heizou x GN reader! modern?au!
TW: Character death, direct mentions of war (not a specific just a war), implied terrible injuries but very vaguely described.
DISCLAIMER: this is part of a longfic im currently cooking, and plan to start publishing on ao3 (once i figure out how to even work the site). This is not proofread! I quite literally just wrote this. Excited for this project.
1k wk.
As the bullets flew, one thing was clear. This was the end. And by Archons had it taken its’ time, you thought. A hand that took you longer to identify as yours than it should’ve was wrapped tightly around your abdomen, in a pitiful attempt to dissuade the bleeding from continuing it’s relentless pace. Your ears had been ringing since you arrived here weeks ago, the non-stop firing of guns and other military-grade weapons of destructions and what have you. You had assumed your eyes to refuse to focus on anything much like how your ears never ceased to stop ringing however you had not been aware of just how unfocused they could be until you had caught a couple of bullets yourself.
Was it vain to be curious as to what you looked like? Not in the “I-hope-I-at-least-look-as-decent-as-I-can-be-given-the-situation” type of way, but just how harshly had this war torn into you? Did you look as bad as you felt? You pondered as you trudged along the debris and worn trees. You weren’t sure where you were going. Just away, was all you really could think at the moment. Away from the gunfire, from the yelling, from the flares, the blood, the death, all of it. Away from all of it. A moment of peace.
Surely you at least deserved that, right? Just a moment. Nothing shorter or longer. Just a moment, to tip your head back, breathe in some air that didn’t feel filtered through the horrors you had been facing for the past couple of weeks while being stationed here. Your feet made up the destination before your mind did, tripping clumsily and falling to the ground in a partially-shaded area in the woods. Not even the strength to complain, a moment of peace, was all you repeated in your mind, as you struggled and eventually managed to turn on your back and face up at the sky.
You must have been further out than you thought. That or you just never really had the time to admire the sky when you were busy reloading the gun you had been given. It was a pretty blue. Not a cloud in sight, yet the sun’s warmth wasn’t unbearable. It was almost comforting, like how a mother cradles their child in their arms to help soothe them.
It was by some misfortune that your moment of peace was so rudely interrupted by someone else. They were picking their way through the forest, much like you had been doing not so long ago, with heavy, labored breaths. It was an even greater misfortune when you managed to discern the sound and made eye contact with a reddish-brown haired man, wearing the enemy’s uniform.
You had no gun on you. Not anymore at least. You knew the exact reason you had come all this way out here anyways, and figured you wouldn’t need it. Would he put you out of your misery, with a bullet to the head? Would he be kind enough to do that? Or would he beat you as you slowly bled and laugh maniacally? War was a terrible invention from long ago that brought out the inhumane side of humanity. To your upmost surprise, he let out a breathless chuckle, before flopping down near you. “Looks like someone had the same idea as me. What are the odds?” He spoke, his voice was terse, no doubt in as much pain as you probably were.
You let out a similarly sounding laugh as you replied, “apparently greater than either of us probably realized.” After a moment (used to gather enough oxygen in your lungs to speak again, truly it was a feat at this point), you continued. “How old are you?” The man let out a cough, then a couple more, before responding, “20, you?” “19. Turning 20 in a couple of weeks.” “Happy early Birthday then!” He congratulated, mustering whatever grandeur he could, earning another strained giggle from you. It was quiet for a moment. Then two. Then three.
You turned to look at your companion, had he already left you? To some relief (ironic how you were thankful that this soldier that you had likely been shooting at for days on end was still alive, if you made it out of here you’d for sure laugh about it.), it seemed as though he was just coming to terms with it all, he knew as well as you. He hadn’t fallen too far of a distant from you actually. Mustering up some strength, you reached your hand out towards him. Thankfully, he noticed without you having to get his attention. Looking at your hand, then up to make eye contact with you, you could see the tears forming in his eyes. He stared at you for a second, his troubles all televised too well on his features before he spoke. “I don’t want to die.” He whispered, the joking tone from earlier miles away. His voice wavered slightly, likely from the tears, but it must have been the way that he said it that caused a weight to settle in your chest. Rather than breaking down, though you could certainly feel your own tears beginning to well up in your eyes, you simply nodded at him.
“Me either,” your lips pressed into a sad smile, as there was no help coming, Both of you knew it. That was why both of you had come out here. For a moment of peace. It was well deserved, wasn’t it? He nodded and took your hand, grasping as tightly as he could muster for some solace. The two of you laid there for some time. No words spoken, no more action took. You each just stared up at the sky, not daring to look at each other anymore (at the chance to see their new companion had already gone ahead of them), hands intertwined. It was not what you had expected when you began your march out here, but you doubted that his expectations were any different from yours.
A moment of peace was what you both got.

Incoming vent: cuz I'm a ball of stress rn
I'm trying for a job at the movies and the apps so confusing by the time I figure this shit out i do believe they will stop hiring RIP COME ONNN...
I need a job . But also something better than retail fuck retail I been working retail for years it sucksss and also, I been awake cuz idk? Adhd maybe? And just cleaning my room like a crazy person lol maybe I'm a nervous wreck I definitely am. I haven't been replying to stuff as quickly as usual cuz I been so stressed... I haven't had a job in a while cuz I been feeling... idk like I suck at everything so why try? I keep quitting or getting fired when will the cycle end.. ugh.. it's just very discouraging yah.. so I'm nervous I'll screw up this job too like the others..yah. part of the reason I haven't been even looking for a job in a while is that. Im glad my mom is being patient w me. Cuz my anxiety and depression gets the best of me at times. Those close to me know that too well... yahhh.. I get depressed and yah. Anxious too. It's bad sometimes. Real bad. I'm glad you guys are patient w my stupid ass too. Thank you. <3 I'm trying so hard to adult lol and to keep it together for you guys...I don't even drive yet I'm too scared.. im.. yah in trying to push myself more. I used to go to college too. Need to go back and get a REAL career one day. I do hope. That's a whole nother story..college.. I can't go til I get a grant.. cuz I lost my scholarship for quitting too many classes and 1 bitchy professor failing me cuz I'm too shy in class. Fuck them. Yah. Anyway. Yah. That's discouraging too so much to get nervous about. That asshole professor even threw away my paperwork stating I'm autistic and need help and I'm shy esc. All about my autism. I got the paper from my school counselor who told me to give the papers to my professors. But that 1 bitch prof. one threw it away right in front of me. Fuck em. Hate em so much. Theatre class was a waste of my time.yet I passed mythology class the professor for that LOVED me . So yah. Theatre guy was biased af. I also passed art. And that was HARD AF i had to take extra trips to get extra credit but i did it and prof loved me. Theatre guy was the only bitch who hated me. Like i even did extra credit trips for Theatre for them yet. Yah. Im unfavored apparently idk. should have reported them to the dean like everyone told me to. But i didn't like a dumbass lol. Now it's too late so rip. I'm going back eventually for zookeeping or voice acting cuz tbh choosing is hard. But ya I'll get a grant. I'm trying next year. I'm gonna try driving next year too. I'm pushing myself to adult.

i don't get the hate on theater kids, all I see is people who don't fit into the "societal norm" and are therefore labelled as weird losers. we don't have stuff like "theater kid" or "sports kid" in Austria either becuse school is solely there to study not to offer clubs but I still never understood the weird hatered some clubs get in America jfdjfa
THEY GOT DEAD BODIES IN THE FREEZER
👀👀👀👀
ig kook is scared of girls *eww that was cringe bye Maybe he just needed to take a really urgent shit OH MY GOD PLS😭😭 this is going to stay in my mind forever, everytime i see him running im gonna think of this no doubt

hi Del! Hope you're doing ok💞
*looks at the tags* This is your free space to tell more about liifa and eliana , anything you got in mind? Giveee 👀
suncrow!!! :D hello hello!!! I'm doing better than i was before; more moving stuff got settled and figured out so im a bit more relaxed now!! ^^ I hope you're doing okay too!! NOW FOR THE KIDDOS--
(added after writing this whole thing: it turns out that i had, uh. everything about them on my mind ♥)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The brief synopsis is that Liifa & Eliana are two of my most well-beloved kiddos!! They both have long backstories, and experience a lot of change over the course of the timeline!! Here's a quick preview before I get into more detailed stuff of theirs:
Liifa was born in 1067 AE, in Quora Sum, a bit before Primordus first stirred. He spent the first eleven years of his life entirely underground, trying to keep up with his peers. In truth, nothing seemed all that interesting to him for quite a while. He took an interest in arguably less practical things, like types of divination that one of his moms (Azzun) was into. His older half-sister Rylii was in school to become a doctor, and helped to nudge him in the direction of medical jobs as well, since they could help each other out. Still, nothing had properly interested him yet! Although his knack for healing became apparent early on in his new classes.
Eliana has an entire past life that she's unaware of, but for this life, she's the daughter of a Duchess of the Nightmare Court. At first, she desires to stay near her family, but eventually her efforts lead her into a bad situation that she runs away from. She leaves no word to her family about her survival, simply hoping that she'll see them again someday in the future. (Unknown to her, they assume she's been killed by her previous Duke*.) She now actively engages in a life of piracy and carelessness!! :D Which will be causing her problems later lol
[*Eliana's previous Duke depends on AU! In my AU with @forbiddenredjollyrancher, her previous Duke is Casworon. :3 in my personal, it's Idris, but I haven't figured out those details just yet!]
OKAY. Brief rundowns out of the way, so here's some beloved details about their story together!!
SO. First things first, they've met a few times, long before they properly meet! The first time is during Eliana & Kiera's sapling adventures. During their first year, they ventured out into Tyria to see all that it had to offer, and to tell their beloved mother Fenella about everything they saw and experienced. At some point, they run into Liifa while near the Durmand Priory! (He wasn't trying to steal artifacts again, I promi-) Ironically, they bug him for directions to Fort Trinity, to which he gives them sass because they're "obviously brand new saplings, who shouldn't be going anywhere near Orr." Eliana pouts at him but they part ways. They run into each other again at Fort Trinity, but Liifa doesn't get recognized due to his hood! He definitely clocks them though, and so does Ipos from the Binding. <<
Flash forward to the time of LWS2, toward the end of it, and Eliana's stuck in her horrible Court situation. Her previous Duke has handed her off to some fucking guy, and she's looking at anything and everything for a way out. Liifa now has the task of actively seeking her out, because Ipos has decided that "only that one will do" right now. So! During one of her late night outings to avoid her ""lovely Knight"", they run into each other yet again. This time, Liifa offers her the Binding - offering the promise of power, the promise that she can make her own way out using the magic from the book. She thinks nothing sinister of it, and accepts.
(Liifa has made his own deal with Ipos prior to this conversation: that, afterward, he will not remember this sweet but naive sylvari, so he doesn't have to wonder what becomes of her as time goes on. [Dude already had a small crush on her lol])
FROM THERE!! Eliana has a Bad Time :) She's got a demon in her ear and only the wind at her back, and she ends up becoming very paranoid and scared thanks to Ipos's influencing as time goes on. She ends up running away to Lion's Arch, and beginning to partake in piracy after a Pirate Captain recognizes the Binding on her hip. (Captain Evander Bleakmane, Tres's character! ♥) She joins his crew, and he kind of underhandedly attempts to help her keep her head on straight. She ends up flirting with his first mate, Ambrose Teeling ♥, a lot... Oopsie!! they're smooching now :3 Another oopsie, Ambrose tells her a lovely heartfelt "i love you" and she panics about it. but!! She promises that she'll return in the future,, at least to say hi, if nothing else is possible for them by then.
She ends up floating over to Captain Zell's crew; where she has a small affectionate fling with Prism Fadebrine, and meets Marchosias! A Wolf. A Normal, Regular Wolf. Definitely Not A Demon In Disguise. but!! Marchosias is a sweetboy and loves Eliana and helps her start to identify what is Ipos's influence and what is her own thought!! :D
[During all of this, Liifa is off mucking around and doing his silly little time-waster things. He actually starts to get more involved with Talia Reavefade's crime syndicate, and becomes an integral part of a Very Important Mission!!]
Eliana steals something from someone she shouldn't during one piracy outing, and gains the attention of Palawa Joko, because That Thing Is Rightfully His and whatnot!! :) She dips on Zell's crew, hoping to at least take the heat off of them - but also starts researching what she can on the Binding. She discovers that, throughout history, a lich has been carrying it. So maybe another lich is what she needs to disconnect from it ... she thinks it's a great idea to get captured! Maybe she can trade This Silly Trinket for some help! :)
it does not work that way. ♥ She gets captured, brought to Gandara, and Joko has a fun little conversation with her before deciding that she'd be of much better use to him, Awakened. Joko sees her connection to the Binding, and forces her to make a deal with the demons inside - to give up all of her memories in exchange for raw power. Joko's only trying to make a soldier out of her - a tool and nothing more. Ipos, in the Binding still, freaks the fuck out about this turn of events, and promptly drags Liifa halfway across Thyria and into the Binding, while Liifa's in the middle of that Very Important Mission. (That's a loose-end that'll haunt him later!!)
This is around when they properly meet! Liifa knows that he gave her the Binding, but doesn't remember any of his emotions around that point, or meeting her before that point. At first, they're very much at odds with each other. He is very annoyed and stressed out about all of this - seeing as he's in Joko's fucking house while there's still a bounty out on his head from the elder lich, AND !! this plant girl is so confidently stubborn that this will work out in the end!! he absolutely thinks that she's insane!!
but they talk! they get better acquainted with each other and start to work together despite their reservations. The truth is, she doesn't know what she's in store for in Gandara, and he's at least somewhat familiar with Joko's games and goals. She introduces herself as Flower because that's what Joko's been calling her, but something tells Liifa that that isn't her actual name. He leaves it be for now, though.
There's also the case of Alana; an ancient Sunspear hero who's now a lich, kind of living in Joko's house and giving him shit while they secretly feed the Sunspears information on the Mordant Crescent's movements, so they can continue to evade them. (Alana is the Hero of Nightfall in my personal AU, and simply a Nightfall companion for collab AU's!) They also tune in to help Flower, occasionally commenting on how they remember that "a Sunspear first carried that same book." Liifa keeps convincing himself that they aren't talking about him, but they are. That's its own whole thing.
And so!! Shenanigans ensue!! Flower only knows Liifa as a voice from the Binding for a while, since he risks exposure by hopping out of it at any point. so he doesn't! Eventually they figure out how to wrangle her memories back from Ipos, too. So Liifa then knows her as Eliana, although Joko continues to call her Flower aksjdnjdfh
ALSOOOO !!! here's a brief change of pace via a snippet from one of their writings together:
Eliana had a soft, pleasant smile, gently tilting her head to the side as she stared at him. Liifa uncertainly pinned one ear back, raising a brow in question. Her smile widened as she giggled. “Sorry for staring, I just think you’re pretty. I haven’t seen you before now.” His ears flicked up as he fumbled for words, awkwardly resting his left arm behind his back as he thought about his posture, how he must look at the moment- “Oh, right, ah… Well, as you can see, nothing like Ipos.” He joked, shrugging as he looked out the window. She giggled again, and Liifa felt something in his chest constrict. “Oh, of course! Absolutely nothing like that raven,” she chimed in, casually patting on the bed next to her. “Come on, you don’t have to stand all the way over there.”
(they're cute and i love them so much sdjhsdf)
once he's Out of the book once, it ends up happening more and more often. :> Only ever in the safety of Eliana's "room" in the palace, but still! She pesters him into snuggling with her some nights and he awkwardly obliges her. ^^ This definitely endears them both to each other a lot more!! They start to take little outings onto the roof, too, to look at the stars some nights! It's one of Eliana's favorite things to do while they're stuck there, trying to plan their future escape.
There is a point where, uh !! Eliana doesn't bring back the Commander's head for Joko, and he's furious about it because she Didn't Even Try. :) This part is very fun, because Liifa comes out of the Binding in full shroud because Joko's threatening to end her life for good. He doesn't appreciate that!! - The problem, is that Eliana's terrified for Liifa's safety. She,, very nicely asks him to just,, retreat to the Binding :') He hates this!!! ABSOLUTELY HATES THIS!!! but he does, only because he's thinking up a plan.
Smash cut to uh, Eliana's dead for a minute, Ipos is trying to steal her soul still, (and Liifa's,) and Liifa's trying to figure out how to bring someone back from the dead without accidentally tying their lifeforce to his and turning them into, essentially, his phylactery.
Even with everything in the Binding, he can't :') so! He sucks it up! and uhh!!!!!!! Revives her!!!!!! BUT THERE'S A WHOLE THING WITH THIS PART OKAY OKAY THIS PART IS SO IMPORTANT. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME AND ABOUT THEM.
Liifa does his healing thing, and pulling for her lifeforce and whatnot, right?? right?? (jingle jangle jingle this is important i prommy) Instead of reaching the whole way to bring her back, Liifa only reaches halfway. This is something that he never exactly talked to her about - the possibility of her dying, and them getting out meaning that he would have to revive her and bind her to him in the same way that Joko's done to her. So he's hesitant. He doesn't like doing this. He only reaches halfway in order to give her a choice. (She's stuck in limbo due to Binding shenanigans, also. that might be an important detail to this too FHSJGKJF) So he only reaches out to her, he doesn't drag her along. Her whole life has pretty much been having every choice taken from her, or made for her. So someone else giving her a choice, and meaning it, is a very big deal for her!!
She reaches back, he brings her back; they're both exhausted and Liifa worries that he's made a huge mistake, but she reached out to him as well. That has to count for something. and it does!!
Bonus: i like to think that lich / phylactery bonds between people also means that they can feel each other's emotions! :D so i use this headcanon a lot lol. This unintentionally does wonders at bonding them closer together though!! (And as time goes on, they end up becoming one hell of a battle-couple because they just get so in-tune with each other!)
Eliana's coming back from the dead is very noticed, however, and Joko decides to let them have their little game, for now. She's still Awakened, and technically has the pull of two different liches going on now. (Liifa, again, hates this and tries to be as ambivalent as possible as to not unintentionally influence her on anything.) She still gains the title of The Desert Rose, forced into becoming Joko's righthand enforcer against any would-be upstarts.
Once the ending of Long Live the Lich comes around, she's forced to fight the Commander right before they can fight Joko. They're still placed in the throne room; and they cut her down once before Joko decides that he's going to join the fight. Making it a 2v1, not in favor of the Commander. ((debatably ofc! if it's an AU with someone else then there could be 2 Cmdrs in there or anything like that, i'm just working based off of my personal AU here!! ♥))
This is where Liifa sees an opening for a make-or-break plan. He takes his chances, leaping out of the Binding in full shroud, and immediately telling the Commander to focus on Joko; that he'll handle Eliana. (The Commander does not know who Eliana is lmao, but picks up that he's referring to The Desert Rose.) Liifa doesn't exactly fight her, but he does effectively talk her down as much as he can while Joko's distracted! :D
as we know Joko goes down, Aurene has a snackie -- they can finally leave!! Liifa kinda assumes that they'll part ways, but he also, just. Doesn't. Go Anywhere. not without Eliana at least! So they end up sticking together, and with the Commander's team for a minute, all the way up and through the end of Icebrood Saga!
they're gay the whole way through, though. They are ABSOLUTELY channeling that entire post about "not romantic, not platonic, but a secret third thing: so devoted that the lines blur." !!!! That's this entire stage !!!!
they're still at that stage to this day, but i have PLANS...
Eventually they will have more misadventures and get married and have a polycule!! ♥ BUT I'LL STOP HERE FOR RIGHT NOW. SINCE. UH. THIS IS ALREADY INCREDIBLY LONG !!! THERE'S TECHNICALLY A LOT MORE FOR THEM ALREADY AND A LOT MORE DETAILS BUT UH. YEA. THIS IS HELLA LONG. ♥
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ASK !!!
SORRY THAT I THREW SO MUCH INFORMATION AT YOU IN RETURN THOUGH !!! DW ABOUT READING EVERYTHING BECAUSE I KNOW THIS IS A LOT... I LOVE U THO SUNCROW THANKIE FOR THE RAMBLE OPPORTUNITY <3 <3 <3

Send me a “ 🔥 “ for an unpopular opinion.
i'ma shape this one around the final fantasy vii fandom and go off on my usual spiel ( or, old spiel? cause i haven't chatted it in a while lol ).
i honestly despise the lack of love that the side-characters get as a whole from the fandom. i really don't like what the remake did for the franchise ( i do love the remake, don't get me wrong, but i think it bought about some of the fandoms worst traits ), and i cannot stand the 'one rule for thee, another for me' mindset that fans have regarding characters.
let's start with numero uno - so, obviously i write heid. lol. he's not particularly liked & that's totally fine...but man. finding content for him is horrible. there's nothing. like, barely anything. the few fics that exist are either rape fics or are ( and i hate saying this ), sorely out of character. the art is few and far between and usually more bara-anime-oriented. overall, i feel like i'm drinking from a dried up well. actually, nah. there was no well in the first place.
i always understood that heid isn't exactly the character who would get much fanfare but it's so disheartening to shift through five million pics of 'x' character and find two of heid. i can't even draw ( or at least, im not at all confident in my art ) and yet i took to drawing heidegger all of the time because i had to start making content for him. and in doing so - my art gets no regonition and is totally ignored anywhere but here. i think if i drew a popular character, i'd maybe get more attention but...i can't bring myself to do so.
in general though; heid isn't the only one. even reeve is quite underrated and ignored by the fandom as a whole (or implied to be an owo cat boy which makes me cringe). even, dare i say, barret is often shoved aside in favour of the more 'popular' characters ( the whole tifa/cloud are now marlene's parents suggestion by some people enrages me, like, wtf? )
secondly, i don't like what the remake did for the fandom because i think it bought the worst out in the fans. it appealed to cloud/sephiroth shippers despite that ship making no sense. you could argue the sephiroth cloud sees is just an extension of himself. they're both essentially jenova. but the remake makes it overtly sexual / suggestive. even as i played, all i could think was 'yeah, this was done for fan service'. i don't even think sephiroth should have been seen in remake part 1. ( obviously that'd never happen ).
but whereas there are things i adore about the remake. i think that they dumbed down the story and by extension, made the worse aspects of fandom writers become apparent. like, by making AVALANCHE basically entirely innocent ( despite being literal terrorists ) - they make shinra ENTIRELY evil. in the og, shinra were weirdly nuanced. they were 'evil' sure, but then they were also genuinly trying to save the planet from sephiroth. as for AVALANCHE; yes, they were fighting on behalf of good. but they did murder people in their quest to shut down reactors. in the og, reeve even calls barret out on this. but...now we probably wont get that? like, way to go rid your main heroes of any nuance. god forbid a hero does something bad.
my final point cause goddamn is this getting long is - i despise the way that the fans talk about characters & the whole 'LOL i can ship this but if you ship that then lol stinky gross smelly ewww'.
i've always wanted to explore shinra/heid as a young men. like, really explore their relationship. potentially even one-sided ship them. i love the idea of it, it's interesting and i imagine their dynamic was similar to tseng/rufus. how many jokes have i seen about shipping them? tonnes. but it's not okay to diss any other ship. make a joke about tseng/rufus and ohhh noo, you fucked up, kiddo.
i've seen people imply heidegger is a pervert because he commented on sephiroth being good looking. literally suggesting he 'creeps' on sephiroth and people wholly agreeing like 'omG LoL YEs' - as if calling someone good looking is an alien thing to do or means immediately that you want to bang them (smh).
in general, i constantly see the fandom make jokes about certain characters & imply that if you ship them, like them etc - 'loool something wrong with uuu'. it's dumb as shit. don't be mean about other people's preferences when half of the fandom can't take being told that cloud shouldn't be shipped with whoever.

so what im getting is that it was absolutely unnecessary to isolate raffi on gotham city in order for her story to go on.
a story that’s so halfhearted that five episodes in—halfway to the end. btw—her motivation is yet to be explained (why go back to this sector of intelligence work when teaching seemed to be fulfilling? was she made to do this?? did she volunteer because her son now lives on this planet now apparently?? was losing elnor cris and possibly seven so painful that burying herself in work seemed like a better option??? who knows! not me!!) and it’s definitely a retreat character-wise but the fact that they still haven’t laid the groundwork to make this stick is kind of amazing lol. it’s the way they’re not even pretending to give a fuck about her or any of the other women characters for me—they said you’re a womb or a subordinate ladies pick one and shut the hell up LMAO?
the fact that the ‘real plot’ is happening on that other ship while everything raffi does is basically an afterthought with backstory slipped in between the cracks like aged caulk is so disheartening and pathetic. star trek picard make an effort maybe. she’s a polarizing character that’s been stuck in impossible situations, weighed down with retractions and stereotypes (they thread the line but HM) because the narrative continually refuses to meaningfully engage with her and a lot of fans of the show wont examine their own biases to see why they have such a viscerally negative reaction to a complicated black woman character that’s good at what she does, knows it and refuses to kneel at the foot of their hero’s :)
and if it wasn’t for ms hurd elevating this performance with sheer will, massive talent and the whip of that (sexy) ponytail? shit would be so much worse. but it’s still bad! because instead of giving her a nuanced, thoughtful send off she’s once again being made to suffer for the nth time. because why? oh right so wise man worf can guide her to the light lol give me a fuckin break.
and it’s no accident that if you cut raffi out (which they literally did in ep4 miss musiker you WILL be avenged) the story could more or less proceed as usual. that’s by design.
because legacy characters or not, im simply not buying that the main white cast members (plus two interlopers idgaf about those new guys and they’re doing nothing to make me care either. pick a random channel and their stories are being told right now live and in color like don’t piss me off) just so happen to be on the ship with the lead yet the sole woc is sent away on some underbaked adventure because ‘reasons?’ please. this season literally could not be more transparent about the audience they’re catering to and who/whose stories are of importance and consideration.
and i knew this would probably happen once the premise for s3 was revealed but i still can’t get over how obvious it is that there really was no plan for raffi and that she only happened to bypass the cull of the la sirena crew because she was romantically linked with seven at the time. which is baffling considering how things are (not) going between them (#theyareMARRIEDletthemTALKandKISSandREST)
and it’s not just them like everything about this season is quite literally happening just because. every slightly interesting or fresh development (and character it’s true) from the previous seasons has been dismissed or diminished and for what? secret sons and man pain? ew lmao. no suspense no lingering threads just excessive shots of ships, an aggressive insistence on biological families and rampant, shameless references to past glory. a mess.
#doing everyone so dirty but it’s fine because ‘familiar faces’ yeah okay 👍🏾#like can we all be serious for one second lol#they’re not even trying.#at least if this season was good i would somewhat understand why they snapped my faves out of existence but it’s literally not#feels insane to see so many people praise this#is this really where we are as an audience? nostalgia = good? really?#and the new characters they chose to add? come on#no space for rios but yall had space for TWO random white guys?#a christmas miracle!#like the kid is one thing but captain crunch ? they’re playing in my FACE#like i don’t even have any firm feelings about him because he’s pretty much a giant bore but#seeing all these allowances being made for him because of what he looks like whilst raffi continues to get shit on irks me so bad#like i knew it would happen ive been alive in the world lol but still#unsurprising but irritating af that captain crunch can sulk around in all his dickheaded glory#and it’s fine because he’s gods most traumatized baby boy but let raffi lash out once and it’s questions about her competence#and calls to have her removed like oh what’s the difference i wonder#‘men can laugh while a woman can only chuckle’ -godforbid she be black and self assured- like that person was preaching i fear!#if this sounds bitter it’s because i am <3#michelle hurd deserves so much better like someone pls get her a five season dramatic series on a prestige network asap!#looks at this dissertation i just wrote oops ain’t mean to rant like that but they forced my hand 😭#now to watch raffi’s spar scene on loop and forget about the show until thursday comes around and rattles my cage again lol#raffi musiker#.rfi#stpk

Delta Squared Chapter 1
A/N: So, this story is somewhat based off of Think Like a Man, I thought our favourite boys would fit these tropes quite nicely and wanted to write something fun and kinda silly! I hope can enjoy, even if you have seen the movie because I did make changes :) This will have several chapters, but hoping to keep it easy to follow. This chapter focuses on the boys and Benny. No smut, no warnings really except a few swear words. 2.4k words
It all starts sometime in May, the boys’ weekly outing causing the fates to set you up in front of the TV at just the right time. Well, sort of started then. 
###

Benny emerges from the haven of the bathroom, immediately making a beeline for the boys’ table. Thankfully, the girl who seemed to be at his elbow at every turn was nowhere to be seen. Even halfway across the bar, Benny could see Santiago chatting up some poor unsuspecting woman and wonders to himself with amusement which line he went with this time, the player that he is. He’s ridiculously successful at this, always has been, even in their time in Delta Force, his ability to charm anybody and everybody driving the boys nuts. Frankie had apparently given up the tag team idea, and let him run his game, choosing to watch from the sidelines. 
Benny checks his phone to see if he got a text from you, sending one out asking how you’re feeling. He feels bad for leaving you at home, sick, but you had insisted he go out with the boys, claiming you’ll join them next time. You two had been dating for years now, bordering on 8, your relationship having been an undefined thing at first due to his back and forth in the military. Once he had come back for good, it was almost too simple how you two had made things official, falling into a routine as easy as breathing. But still… he hadn’t proposed yet. 
You were a relatively successful hairstylist, owned your own salon, got along with the boys, matched his energy for all the dorky movies he was into, and incredibly chill with his energy it was almost too good to be true. You even dressed up with him in a couples costume of Han and Leia that one halloween, binging the movies with him throughout the month to prepare for the role. So, you could be forgiven for mistaking the little velvet box he got you last valentines day for a ring, screaming out “Yes!” until you opened it to see a simple but pretty pair of diamond studs. You didn’t understand why he was waiting, you two lived together, shared a car, planned for your future; the domesticity of your relationship was so deeply ingrained in your bones, everyone already assumed you were married until they noticed the empty space where your ring should be. You didn’t want to pressure him, though. He was your Benny, your best friend, and you loved him so much. Star Wars posters, figurines, and all. 
You flipped through the channels at home, eventually landing on Oprah, recognizing her guest as Steve Harvey, the host from Family Feud. 
“Welcome back, everybody. We are still here with best-selling author Steve Harvey. (Camera switch to Steve) - Well, what I try to get women to understand is that times have changed, but your playbook hasn't. I've gotten thousands of letters from all kinds of women who can't seem to find a man, keep a man or get what they want from their man. Until you understand how a man loves, how a man operates, how he thinks, until you get into the mindset of a man, you will never win with us in the game of love.”
Despite your better judgement, you stayed on the channel to see what new information he could possibly be adding to the world of love advice.
“We have a question in the audience. (camera turns to woman in the audience)- Hi, Steve. I've been living with my boyfriend for five years and he says that he loves me and he's fully committed. I guess what I want to know is, how come he hasn't popped the question?- (camera turns to Steve) He hasn't popped the question because you haven't required him to.” 
You roll your eyes at the pedantic answer, but stay listening to see if you could get anything useful out of this.
###
Benny catches part of Santi’s words to the girl on his way to the table, and the tail end of it has him quickly covering his mouth to hide his laughter.
“I’m sorry, but Jesus has my heart.” The girl had said.
“Yeah, no, no, no, I get that. I love Jesus, too. They actually used to call me Pope back in the military,” Santiago countered, sure that he’d walk away with her number. 
“You boys won’t believe how Santi’s trynna pick up this girl,” Benny says, jerking his thumb over his shoulder as he joins the others at the table. 
“Oh I can already imagine it’s weird, she gave me crazy vibes just by the way she was trying to touch Tom’s beard after 2 seconds,” Frankie laughed. 
Santi returns to the table sooner than any of them would have guessed, and they assume he got shot down - rare, but it does happen. 
“No luck?” Will asks, a little eager to share his misery with someone else at the table. Will’s most recent venture into finding love ended as pathetically as his last; he was too much of a dreamer to keep a steady job after returning home. Apparently, the women he was going on dates with didn’t appreciate his goal of finding something he was passionate about. He just wanted someone to support him, the same way he would give his full support for his partner. 
Santiago looked at each of his friends’ faces and then broke out into a smug smile, “No, I got it. Cmon, you guys really thought I couldn’t? Have some faith.” 
The last comment had Benny cracking up again, and he checked his phone again to see if you’d replied. 
“How’s Daph doin’?” Will asks his little brother, eyes catching him checking his phone periodically. 
“She’s alright, she-” He starts but gets cut off by Fish.
“She's phenomenal, pendejo, we don’t understand why she’s with you,” Frankie laughs, and Santi joins in. 
“Nobody does! How good is your credit score? Do you even know how to check your credit score?” 
They all laugh at that, Benny included. 
“Daphne is amazing, you guys are right. She even loves my nerdy shit. Will doesn’t even like my nerdy shit,” Benny elbows his older brother. 
“You sure about that? Maybe she just loves you. Deep down inside, she’s probably thinking ‘this is some silly ass shit’” Tom counters with his eyebrows raised, challenging him. 
Out of them all, Tom had the least complicated relationship. He just wanted to make Madison happy, simple as that, and Mads felt the same towards him. He was usually the one giving level headed advice around the table whenever the boys would bring up their lady problems, and as much as they wouldn’t want to hear it at first, they usually conceded, knowing he was being reasonable. 
“Nah, I know her, alright? She is just as into all of that as I am.” 
The night goes on in a similar fashion, catching up and teasing, until Tom stands up, stating that he needs to get back to his fiancé, making the others groan in displeasure. 
“When's the wedding again, Tom? You’ll have all the time in the world, laaaaaater,” Santi gripes. 
“You guys still have to take me out for my Bachelor party, how do you not know when the wedding is? It’s next- No, you know what? You can figure it out and plan it when you’re sober, I’m heading out!”
They all chimed in for their goodbyes, knowing they’d see each other in a few days. Benny started to rise from his seat as well, finishing off the last of his beer before announcing his departure. 
“Gotta get back to my girl, she’s not feelin’ too well.” 
“Yeah, I should go, too, gotta pick up my kid from my mom tomorrow.” Frankie adds, also getting up from his place. 
Santiago and Will share a look which doesn’t go unnoticed by Frankie, who immediately gets defensive, “What?”
“Don’t lie to us Fish, you’re gonna go there tonight and she’s gonna give you your onesie and tuck you in the same way she does for your kid!” 
Santiago’s never let go of an opportunity to rip on Frankie’s relationship with his mother. Everybody knew he was a momma’s boy, but now he uses his daughter as an excuse for why he’s over all the time. She cooks all his meals, she does his laundry for him, they even have matching pyjamas which they wear on their movie nights together. He stops by on his way home from work because she’s made his favourite dish, or picked up those socks he likes from Costco. Santiago is only teasing but it’s become glaringly obvious that for all that he complains about being a single dad, Fish doesn’t really make time for another woman in his life. 
“Yeah, yeah, whatever, Pope. Don’t come asking for her pie next time you’re over.”
“Now hey-” Threats were getting serious, Santiago had to back up a bit. 
###
The first bomb had been dropped. 
The next day had you heading to your local bookstore, with your notebook in hand, filled with scribbles of tips from Steve. You had finished the episode of Oprah, surprised to have found some possibly useful ideas to push Benny to the next step in your relationship. Looking for his book, you tell yourself you’re not tricking him, you’re just trying to move forward in your life together. 
Settling in to read for a bit before Benny came home, you found the chapter that focuses on “The Non-committer”, aka your Golden Retriever boyfriend, which described how you need to require him to step up and propose. Your last birthday, the boys came over for dinner; they treated you like one of their own, which was wonderful! Except that it was your birthday, and you were dressed for a romantic dinner for two. You really were one of the boys. Speaking of which, you looked around, noticing how much your shared apartment looked like a college dorm room, one that housed several boys, not the sophisticated adult space you always envisioned. You develop an idea, one that might upset him but that will overall clean up the place and make it look like two working adults live there. There’s a used bong on his favoured side of the couch for fuck’s sake. 
Yeah, that’s it, the first move has already formed in your head, your calculating gaze sweeping across your living room making note of what you’re going to keep and what’s going in storage. The couch will have to wait for another day, you can’t lift it on your own.
Later that evening, Benny comes home while you’re making dinner, chicken wings and fries - not your guilty mind telling you to make his favourite, nope - and his joyful shout at the smell makes your stomach twirl happily. After all these years, his easy smile and comforting presence is still your favourite thing in the world and you want to never stop seeing it. On his way to kiss your cheek in greeting, he catches a glimpse of the drastically different living room space and stops mid-walk, body visibly frozen in shock. 
“Babe! Did we get robbed?! Where’s all of my posters, my figurines?! How did you not notice we got robbed?!!” He’s rushing to inspect the empty spaces.
“Relax, I just tidied up a bit,” you try to keep your voice even and light. “They’re safe, Vader’s safe. I just thought we could paint the living room.”
He exhales in relief, painting he could deal with, painting he could work with. 
“...and redecorate,” you say under your breath. 
“Redecorate?” Benny echoes, confusion taking up his pretty face. “I thought you liked that stuff, why would you wanna redecorate?”
Dropping the last of the wings into the deep fryer you turn to face him fully. “Because, Benny, it looks like we’re still in college. We’re adults, we make decent money, don’t you want this to look like a real home? One where all of our friends haven’t had sex on our couch?”
“What’s wrong with my couch?”
“Baby, it has duct tape holding the back together. We’ve literally had it for ages, and God knows how many times you’ve spilled your bong on it!”
“This couch has history!”
You just level him with a look, before showing him the couch catalogue you were browsing, pointing out the ones you thought he’d like. 
“I’d rather watch How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days with you again than couch shop,” Benny grumbles.
“I know you would because I caught you watching it by yourself a week later. Cmonnnn Benny, it smells so bad.”
“Okay, fine but listen I’m really bad at this. Can you just do it without me? I trust you to pick one. Please?” He leans in to kiss your cheek and heads straight for the deep fryer, gathering the rest of the food to set out for the two of you. 
Surprise colours your face but you’ll take the win. New couch, slightly more adult space, this was shaping up to be a productive evening. The two of you ate dinner, Benny making loud noises of enjoyment from the guilt-wings you made, watching your post-work show together. These are the moments you loved, the simple comfort of each other’s presence, of having your best friend there at the end of every day.

Stranger Things Season 4 Volume 2 - REACTION + THOUGHTS
Holy fucking shit, everyone 😭 it was only two episodes and yet I feel drained, it took like 4+ hours to get through two damn episodes but I did it!
My reaction to Episodes 1-7 are HERE!
I wrote my thoughts in a notebook as I watched and I’ve elaborated more on those thoughts in this post below. Mostly it’s a lot of freaking out and fangirling though 😂
⚠️ There are HUGE spoilers below the read more so please read at your own risk! ⚠️
Episode 8 - Papa
Awww mini Eleven is so cute
She was so exhausted after sending Vecna to the beyond that she straight up passed out after
Not me getting triggered by showing 001 being tattooed again 🤧
The gang panicking to find music is so funny but also FIND THE MUSIC FFS
“I want you to tell Eleven… I want you to tell her everything you’ve seen… tell her everything” - oh shit, he didn’t kill Nancy 😮‍💨 but also yikes
Not the Russian demogorgan still alive???
Awww, Joyce patching Hopper up :3
“You’re the hero of Hawkins” - IM NOT CRYING, NOT YET 🤧
Hop asking after El and Joyce saying “she misses her dad” ❤️
“Umm I hate to interrupt” LMAO “but apparently they (the demogorgons) can climb too” … shit
WHY IS THERE ANOTHER ONE STRAPPED TO A TABLE BEING DISSECTED
Tell me the Russians have NOT been experimenting on the demo-creatures 😭💀 and what the hell is that swirling dust stuff???
Eleven’s powers are BACK! 😀
To be quite brutally honest, I forgot what the Cali crew were up to because they were just… there. Not really doing that much. :/
I’m not really digging Mike’s whole “what if she doesn’t need me anymore???”, let alone Will having to reassure him “of course she’ll need you” like… ?? Boys, hello???
OHHHH THE PAINTING
Awww is it based on DND?? Apparently El commissioned it, and Mike in the painting’s coat of arms is a heart because he’s the heart of the group or some shit?
Honestly not really here for Will’s painting/feelings being used to further the Mileven pairing :/
The way Jonathan was looking at Will and Mike, I thought he was thinking “yeah my brother’s got it bad”
“When you’re different, you feel like a mistake” - WILL BABY??? Again, it’s so obvious he’s gay and hiding it???
NOT WILL LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW AND CRYING, POOR BOY IS HEARTBROKEN (and at this point I’m starting to think that yes, in love with Mike)
Did sending Vecna through the portal cause Eleven’s speech and language to regress too??? Because I’m S1 she can barely speak and needs to be taught common words, whilst in flashbacks in S4 in the lab, she seems quite fluent?
Has this motherfucker Brenner been searching for 001 this whole time??? Is that what this is about???
Oh god not the autopsy photos 😭
“Your friends are in danger” - yeah but what else is new??? They’re in danger like every 6-12 months 💀
The clock has 4 chimes… which means 4 gates, 4 victims??? Shit, he’s one away???
Eleven using her powers to watch the Hawkins gang :’(
Nancy: We have to go back // Eddie: 🤦 NO
Robin calling him “Henry-slash-Vecna-slash-One” 😂
Because El is watching them, she’s in on their plan too now… interesting
Max: I draw his focus next to me - ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT I CANNOT GO THROUGH THIS AGAIN
If Max fucking dies, I will be SO ANGRY
Yayyy Jopper + Murray + Dmitri made it out of the Russian base!
LMFAO at the van just smashing through the gate
Hopper protecting Joyce by wrapping his arms around her :3
Joyce saying “That plane crashed” and Hopper’s concerned “… crashed?!?”
Dmitri threatening Yuri lol
I like that at this point Steve is still not wearing a proper shirt 🥵
Eddie calling Max “red”
“You got a ski mask or a bandana?” - cut to Eddie wearing Max’s Michael Myers mask that she wore at Halloween in S2 😂
Eddie hot wiring a van
HE CALLED STEVE “big boy”, I’M-
Also Steve is STILL barefoot 😂
“Your friends are not prepared for this fight” - right, so maybe go and fucking help them????
Owens at least tried to let Eleven make a choice, Brenner is a dick
No but Steve talking about his dreams and saying in his dreams for his life, he wants 6 kids and to travel America on road trips with them 😭🤧 he would be such a great dad, I’m-
Nancy calling 6 kids “a nightmare” LMFAO SAME
“If only I had some practice” *gestures to the kids he’s always babysitting* 💀
Lucas making the Ms Kelly link and also wanting to find someone else - anyone else - so Max won’t be in danger
Max’s happiest memory involves Lucas, which makes me think it’s probably the Snow Ball dance when they got together?
Is that a helicopter?!! There’s no way that thing is carrying five adults from Russia to America???
“For me, she is still a virgin” - PLEASE DO NOT SAY THAT ABOUT THE HELICOPTER YURI
The War Zone store is like the size of an entire shopping mall :/
Ah, America… no one is questioning young teenagers like Erica, Max, etc buying guns and explosives
IS THAT VICKIE IN THE STORE 💀
WHAT DO YOU MEAN VICKIE HAS A BOYFRIEND AND SHE MADE OUT WITH HIM RIGHT THERE, FOR FUCK SAKE
Robin being heartbroken 😭
NAHHH WHY THE FUCK IS JASON AT THE GUN STORE, why are ALL OF THE BASKETBALL BROS THERE
Jason really needs to back the fuck off, and the scene where he’s talking to Nancy and putting his hands on her gun really proved that
Argyll saying Nina sounds like a “small woman” 😭 he ain’t wrong, “nina” is Spanish for little girl I think
Nahhh is Argyll STILL fucking high 💀
Getting REAL sick and tired of seeing military and army assholes
DID BRENNER CALL THEM, FUCKING DICK
“If my men hear you coming, they’ll kill him (Owens)” - BRENNER IS LITERALLY BLACKMAILING HER WHAT THE FUCK FUCK HIM
Eleven called him OUT and I love it
“You could not let him (001) go” “you are the monster” — SO TRUE
He injected her what the hell 💀
She should have just killed him tbh
“Is this legal?” “Actually, I think it’s a felony” — LMFAO
Eddie and Dustin play fighting and Eddie making Dustin promise “never change, promise me”… why do I feel like Eddie’s imparting some wisdom and is about to be killed…
“Even though you’re a bench riding loser, you’re still my brother” - awww Erica :3
Wait did Steve say Vickie’s boyfriend is a full ass college man 💀
“Not everyone has a happy ending” - ST writers are definitely trying to tell the fans to lower their expectations of happy endings for everyone 😭
“It might not work out for us this time” - FUCK. NO. NOPE.
Oh god did he put one of those collars on Eleven?!?
Not the shootout 🤦
Omg they shot Brenner and he dropped Eleven. Not gonna be sad if he dies tho, he low-key deserves it lmao
Owens saying he could put El in a coma and then if the killings stop they’ll know it’s her, but the gang is planning on taking down Vecna do the killings will stop??? And they’ll think it’s El???
Never mind, asshole army guy ordered them to kill Eleven anyway
EYYYY Cali gang FINALLY pulling their weight and going to the rescue!
Go on, Eleven! Bring it down! Knock the aircraft out the air!
I’m confused tho because I thought he collar subdued her powers but she’s still wearing it in this scene and straight up knocking a helicopter out of the sky???
The Mike and Eleven reunion was sweet but idk Will still feels like a third wheel even when he’s happy to see Eleven and he hugs her
Will crying with happiness at seeing El again and giving her a hug 😭❤️ love the brother-sister relationship
Brenner has a remote control to make the collar fall off???
“I’m proud of you” “you are my family” “my child” — yeah? Funny way of fucking showing it, mate
“Please tell me you understand” - and then she doesn’t say anything, just gets up and says “goodbye papa” 😅
Soooo… is he actually dead this time?
I’m so anxious for this plan, holy shit
THE MUSIC IS PHENOMONAL!!! (It’s Separate Ways (Worlds Apart) by Journey and Steve Perry, and it was in one of the trailers)
The chills I got at them approaching the Creel house again… ooh
Episode 9 - The Piggyback
Strap in, folks, this one is a whopping 2hrs and 20 minutes!
YURI JUST SABOTAGED THE HELICOPTER FUCK SAKE
Hopper and Joyce’s sexual tension is getting VERY obvious Jesus Christ
THEM CHANGING NEAR EACH OTHER AND JOYCE LOOKS OVER AND HE’S SHIRTLESS IM-
Lmao at her Hulk Hogan t shirt though
Hopper’s been dreaming about their Enzo date and starts listing the food, and then… “been dreaming about something else too”
IS IT HAPPENING
HOLY FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK I LITERALLY SCREAMED THEY KISSED HOLY FUCKING CHRIST
NOT THE PHONE INTERRUPTING THEM GETTING DOWN AND DIRTY
“You can be the hero, Steve” - yes but only if he survives 😇
I’ve got a horrible feeling about both Steve and Eddie, and I hope I’m wrong
To be fair to him, Jonathan is trying very hard to get plane tickets to Hawkins and I appreciate the effort
Soooo Eleven is going to go inside Max’s mind and protect her there? 🤔
*talking about how El needs a “bathtub”* Argyll: Yeah, gotta be clean to enter the mind — I FUCKING DIED LAUGHING
Hell yeah for the Kate Bush reappearing
Them writing notes so they won’t be overheard by Vecna on the other side is super smart actually
Not that dude seeing Erica and tipping the basketball team off 😤
Not Jason target practicing smh
Murray: “I see the mood here is bleak, and understandably so” LMFAO NO KIDDING
So those particles moving… means there’s a gate open?
Part of the hive mind is in Russia… where they’ve just escaped from 💀
Of course there’s another Surfer Boy Pizza shop, of course it’s a franchise
The amount of “dudes” in this one conversation LMFAO Even Jonathan was doing it 💀
Love that their prep involves cooking a pizza in the oven ��
Also the sensory tank is in the newly emptied pizza freezer???
Robin panicking about getting lost is a whole ass mood frankly
“She’s a super klutz” - bless
Apparently Steve used to crawl backwards as a baby? “Always in reverse” (no joke I actually read a book about a boy who crawled backwards and did everything backwards because his mother and father met on a train that was travelling backwards???) (I looked it up; it’s called “Back To Front Benjy” by Dick King Smith)
He also apparently thumped his head as a baby o_o (Nancy: “explains so much” lol)
Steve calling himself confident but an idiot made me kinda sad, all this self reflection made me think he was gonna die 😭
Him thanking her for giving him “the biggest thump” of his life and discussing their relationship
I can’t believe he really said NANCY was the most important part of his dream… I am really not here for Steve/Nancy :/
LMAO at Robin ruining their moment 😂
Wait, where are the Russian guards?
… ohhh I think I know based on the sounds coming off that radio, my god
Ooh did Dmitri break through with Yuri and convince him to do the right thing? :O
Max writing “hi” and Lucas writing “hi :D” back
“I’m glad you’re here” - AWWWW
He asked her to a movie on Friday and she drew him a cute picture 🤧
Okay but WILL Vecna take the bait or not is the question?
Max taking her headphones off… Here we go.
I had a fleeting thought of what if he decides to take Lucas instead??? They’re expecting him to go for Max but Lucas is there too?!?
Mike made goggles out of pizza boxes, I’m-
Argyll interrupting Mileven to give them pizza!
Ewww okay so Eleven: she’s an 11 but she likes pineapple on pizza 🤢
“Do you remember that time you told me you had Lego stuck up your nose?” - I SPAT OUT MY COFFEE WHAT THE FUCK JONATHAN
“You used to come to me more for help” — aww :(
“I’ve been distanced-“ “Stoned.” - LOL
Aww Byers brothers sharing a hug :3 and Will getting emotional 🥹
“I love you: there is nothing in this world that will change that” - TELL ME THIS WOULD NOT BE JONATHAN’S REACTION TO WILL COMING OUT??? This should have at LEAST been a prompt for Will to come out to him maybe???
Eleven found Max!
… oh no. No, it’s not working??? Vecna isn’t taking the bait???
Max saying Vecna was right, Billy made her life hell, she would pray for something awful to happen to him… “I didn’t know if he deserved to be saved” OOF
“So now when I lie in bed at night, I pray something terrible will happen to me.” - MAX SWEETIE NO 😭
I KNEW AS SOON AS LUCAS STARTED SAYING BAD STUFF THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY VECNA
Oh gosh come on Eleven, save the day
We get to see a little Max memory of her skating
WHOOOO EDDIE SHREDDING THE ELECTRIC GUITAR
“Chrissy, this is for you” - I’M NOT OKAY
Demobats!!!!!
“Where are you going, Maxine?” Oh fuck no I’m out
NOT THE BILLY SAUNA DOOR THING
NOT THE BASKETBALL CREW HITTING AND HURTING ERICA FUCK THEM
Let me say it again, Eddie shred the FUCK outta that guitar solo
Max’s memory is the snow ball dance…
Dustin: “Most. Metal. EVERRRRR!” Bless
NOOOO the Russian glass cage things are broken?!?!
Sooo… monster got in, guards tried to stop it, gunfire shattered the tanks, others came alive :O Particles = The Shadow, which went into the monster(s)?
By the way, this whole plan of “hey, while Max distracts Vecna and probably gets herself killed, let’s sneak up into the attic in the upside down and stab/burn him while he’s in a trance” is fucking stupid 💀
Ohhhh that’s a LOT of vines on the floor
Robin worrying because she’s clumsy, she’ll tread on them, and Nancy holds her hand and says it’s okay??? RONANCY FANS RISE UP
“Shouldn’t you be playing with dolls?” “Should you bag your face?” YOUNG MAX IS A SAVAGE
Wait, the song from the Snow Ball (Every breath you take)?
I was singing along to that song and then I let out a scream because the balloon popped 💀
Speaking of balloons popping, what is this, Stephen King’s IT??? 🤡
Ohhh now the music’s changed to Dream a Little Dream of Me, which was playing in the Creel house and was what Victor was listening to
Well this took a sharp turn… the flowers are withering, blood is everywhere…
LET ERICA GO, FUCK 😤
Oh NO NOT JASON IN THE ATTIC
He thinks Lucas is doing some cult shit to Max (a la Hellfire Club)
JASON PUT THE FUCKIN GUN AWAY MAN
He wants Lucas to wake Max up or he’ll shoot???
“Or are we supposed to read your mind” lmao Murray
Nooo why does Hopper need to he demo-bait 😬
Not Joyce remembering Bob because Bob did exactly the same thing and she watched him die in front of her 😭
“I still got a date to make, remember?” “I am not having another funeral” - I CAN’T DEAL WITH THIS I WANT TO CRY
Awww now there’s a tender Jopper kiss in addition to the down and dirty one
The demobats are on the roof… they can’t get in, right?
OH WAIT YEP THEY CAN 🤧
Watching Steve/Robin/Nancy dodge the vines made me extremely anxious to be honest
NOOOOOOOO NOT ROBIN
NOT STEVE FUCK FUCK FUCK
AND ALSO NANCY TOO WHAT THE FUCK
(They’re not dead, just being strangled by vines inside the house)
I can’t do this, I’m not strong enough for this show 💀
Not the demodog chasing Hopper 😭 meanwhile the demobats are coming through the vent
Dustin climbed back through the portal and then Eddie cUT THE ROPE NOOOOOO
Eddie trying to buy more time 😭 don’t do it, Eddie, the town don’t deserve it
Somehow I don’t think barricading the door with fold up chairs is going to stop Vecna, Max lmao
Oh god that chiming is going to haunt my fucking nightmares
Vecna appearing behind Max definitely scared me, Jesus Christ
Nooooo leave Max alone!!!
Lucas trying to convince Jason but of course Jason is a toolbag and too far gone
“I never should have let you in the door” “and I never should have knocked” OH SHIT
Lucas called Jason a raging psychopath, which is quite accurate to be honest
Sinclair siblings once again kicking ass at the same time, we love to see it
WAIT DID JASON JUST BREAK THE MUSIC PLAYER
COME ON ELEVEN HELP MAX PLEASE
“Much braver than your brother” OOF OKAY VECNA JESUS
Oh no no no no he’s gonna do the thing-
ELEVEN YESSSSSS SHE SAVED MAX THANK GOD
V: You. // E: Hi. *throws him through a wall*
Dustin trying to jump back up into the ceiling portal using furniture and then he hurt his leg falling though :(
NOOO EDDIE NOW IS THE PERFECT TIME TO RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!
Jason needs to leave everyone alone smh what an ass
ElMax checking on each other :3
“Are you real? Did I make you?” “I’m real.” “How?” “I piggy-backed from a pizza freezer.” “… what?” — LMFAO
Oh of course Vecna is up again 😭
“If you touch her again, I’ll kill you again” — OOF GO OFF
Vecna is right though, technically she didn’t kill him before, just sent him through that portal 🤷🏻
Max really tried to run up behind Vecna and stab him when she was being noisy as fuck
Yeah no Eleven’s getting her ass beat in this fight I won’t lie
Goddammit now he’s attached El to the door with vines
NOT CHRISSY’S DEAD BODY IN THE BACKGROUND JUST CHILLING
Vecna has Max 😥😓😰
She told him Papa is dead and Vecna paused
“He is the monster, Henry. Not you.” OOF.
“He was just a man. An ordinary mediocre man.” - DAMN TRUE THO
“He did not make me into this. You did.” - … Vecna is telling the truth technically 😬
The flashback showing him exploring this “realm unspoilt by mankind” and it looks like a barren shit hole to me 😫
So the particle cloud… helped him become a predator???
THE MIND FLAYER??? And young Henry/Vecna’s drawing IDENTICAL to Will’s???
So has this all always been Vecna or…?
“Sought a means to open my own doors” (showing S3) - so was THAT Vecna????
I love the contrast of the red lighting in the Eleven/Vecna scene vs the blue in literally all the others but especially Lucas/Jason’s fight
NOOO NOT HOPPER IN THE SAME POSITION AS BOB IN S2
NO NO NO NO NO NO NONONONONONONONONO NOT EDDIE NOT EDDIE
Erica, come on girl! Jason is literally about to strangle Lucas to death!
“But now I just want you to watch” - oh shit
NOT MAX, LEAVE HER ALONE
Mike/Will/Jonathan/Argyll trying to wake Eleven up…
Will telling Mike he’s “the heart” and Mike saying “I love you” to El… I’m so tired. I’m so tired of Will’s obvious sexuality/crush being used to further a straight couple
Not Mike claiming his life was only meaningful after meeting Eleven 💀 and the flashbacks to the very first episode when they met, I’m so done with this
Wait, are the vines uncurling from around Eleven???
COME ON LUCAS PULL THROUGH
Noooo MAX’S ARMS AND LEG ARE DOING THE SNAPPY THING I CANNOT WATCH
Joyce rescuing Hopper by electrocuting that demodog 😥
OH SHIT THATS A DEMOGORGAN
TELL ME MAX IS OKAY NOW, RIGHT?!?
Murray kicking ass with the flamethrower!!!
Oh thank fuck Steve/Nancy/Robin are released and okay
Ewww not the squelchy noises when they all walk around 🤢
Well, Hopper, looks like shooting a demogorgan didn’t work…
IS THAT A FUCKING SWORD?!? HE GONNA FIGHT IT WITH A SWORD?!?
RoStAncy found Vecna - come on, guys, prove this plan wasn’t shit
“The beginning of the end” - eyyy it’s the season 4 tagline!
Not them playing Running Up That Hill again, I’m already a mess 💀
OH SHIT THEY’RE BURNING HIM
Oh wait no he’s up again, ROBIN THROW ANOTHER MOLOTOV PLEASE
NANCY SHOOT HIM OH MY GOD
HOPPER SLICED THAT DEMOGORGAN’S ARM CLEAN OFF
Oh sHIT NANCY ANNIHILATED HIM
Wait… what do you mean there’s still 40 FUCKING MINUTES TO GO?!?!
IS Max okay??? And Eddie???
NOPE EDDIE’S DYING FOR FUCK SAKE I’m so upset he was my favourite newbie 😭😭😭
“I didn’t run away this time, right?“ STOP IT RIGHT NOW
Eddie didn’t even get to graduate 😭🤧 this was supposed to be his year, I’m so upset-
NAH FUCK THIS SHOW FUCK IT
CALL AN AMBULANCE FOR MAX PLEASE I CAN’T LOSE HER AS WELL
No no no no I hate this, this is awful, she’s blind and can’t see and she’s so scared and she’s crying 😭
Max crying and panicking because “I can’t see, I’m so scared, I’m not ready to go, I want to go on” I’M SOBBING, NO, NO, NO, FUCK OFF RIGHT NOW
Lucas sobbing as she dies I can’t fucking STAND THIS FUCKING SHOW FUCK THIS
Four chimes… oh no. Oh no no no no NO.
AFTER ALL THAT, VECNA STILL WINS BECAUSE IT’S OPENING THE BIG GATE ANYWAY???
Karen and Little Holly 😭
Holy FUCK, Hawkins is actually well and truly FUCKED this time
… Is Eleven trying to bring Max back to life??? Is that even possible???
Not the ElMax flashbacks making me tear up again 😭
Don’t get my hopes up, I can’t take it if my hopes are raised and smashed down again
Cut to black and… two days later??? Excuse me??? WHt the fuck happened???
Ohhh that’s a lot of cars leaving Hawkins
Oh shit the smoke coming off of Hawkins?!?!
So they’re saying it was this ridiculously traumatic earthquake???
Not them all believing it’s Hellfire’s fault still :/ and that Eddie is still guilty, fuck this town-
“Doorway into hell” - oof, that’s one way to put it I guess
Eyyy Mike finally reuniting with his family and Will reuniting with his friends, and Jancy seeing each other too!!
“You can forget about college” - LMFAO
Okay, now why is Lucas at the hospital??? Again, do NOT get my hopes up!
Wait, is Max in a coma????
Lucas reading to Max 😭
I can’t get over Lucas and Eleven hugging?!! They’ve come so far since S1 when he hated her 😭
They don’t know if Max will wake up or why she hasn’t yet :( they’re saying she died for like a minute but then a miracle (Eleven) happened
Eleven holding Max’s hand and telling her “I’m here” :’(
Nancy and the others are donating their stuff because of the disaster, that makes sense
I love how ready Steve and Robin are to help 🤧❤️
Vickie?!?! Oh that’s awkward… I love Amybeth tho
“Was my boyfriend” — ohhh aye? 👀
Her saying she should have dumped him for disliking “fast times” lmfao
“It’s like my mouth is running faster than my brain” - oh her and Robin are so suited to each other
Listen… Vickie could still be bisexual, okay, just because she dated a guy it doesn’t mean she can’t date girls 🤷🏻
I hate that people have been graffiti-ing Eddie’s missing poster 😭
Dustin has Eddie’s guitar pick neck chain 🥺
I feel so bad for Eddie’s uncle 😢
When Dustin started crying over Eddie and telling Eddie’s uncle that Eddie was a hero, I lost it
“He fought and died to protect this town that hated him” - I CAN’T 😭 Eddie deserved so much fucking better
Hopper’s cabin???
Jonathan: *pointing to massive gaping hole in ceiling* Well, that’s a bit of a problem — 😂😂😂😂
Aww they’re fixing up the cabin :3
Argyll gathering mushrooms 🤣
“I’m sorry I wasn’t there.” “I’m actually kinda glad you weren’t… I mean, that you were with Mike” - suuure, Nancy -_-
Why did I feel like they were about to go on a break during this scene 💀
Nancy saying Steve’s grown quite a bit as a person… true but girl seriously
“Are we okay?” “… yeah.” — Nancy, you did NOT sound very sure
Oof Jonathan had the perfect opportunity to tell Nancy about his plans for college but he didn’t :/
Will knowing 001 isn’t dead because he can feel him hurting… o_0
So will Vecna be in S5, and if so will his first target be Will because lord knows that boy has a LOT of trauma to feed off of
Is that coke bottle from when El and Max played spin the bottle in S3? That feels like so long ago now 😭
So apparently Eleven couldn’t find Max in that mindscape/black area thing? (I don’t know what to call it, I’m sorry 😭)
IT’S HOPPER, A FATHER DAUGHTER REUNION IM CRYING ALL OVER AGAIN OH MY GOD
She kept the door open 3 inches always and never stopped believing 😭😭😭😭
“Your hair…” “My hair? Your hair!” - THEY BOTH LOST THEIR HAIR IM SO-
“I kinda stole your look, kid, what you think?” “Bitching” - 😭❤️
JOYCE AND EL REUNITING ❤️
I do wonder if the Hoppers and Byers will be one big family now because Jopper is a thing 🤔🙂
Oh no… no, not the Will Neck Tingle™️
Oh damn, it went from sunny to overcast VERY quickly
It’s snowing??? It’s spring break so it shouldn’t be snowing???
Plants rotting/dying… ash in the sky I think? (So is it ash or is it snow?)
Joyce and Hopper holding hands 🥺
SHIT, THAT’S WHERE THEY END THIS SEASON, ON THAT CLIFFHANGER
SEASON 5 WHEN?!?!?
