what to do with spam comments on AO3
First, let's identify the comment as spam. Some things to look for:
The comment is left by a guest user. You can tell they are a guest because the username isn't a link. In most site skins, links are indicated by text that is underlined.
The comment is trying to get you to do something - visit a webpage, sign up for a service, join a discord server.
The comment doesn't make any sense for the work that it's on.
Here's a comment I've received. The username is a keysmash and I can tell they're a guest because the name doesn't link back to an AO3 user profile page. The comment is formatted more like an email, and it asks me to join a discord server. Also, the comment references that I'm writing for Marvel and while this is true, it's specifically Agents of SHIELD and not a crossover with other Marvel franchises so from the first sentence, I was already suspicious.
Tumblr media
If you receive a spam comment like this one, all you need to do is hit the button marked Spam. This button appears in your fic comments, but you won't see it in your AO3 inbox. If you're in your inbox, you can go directly to the comment on your fic by clicking on the fic title (see below).
Tumblr media
Selecting the Spam button reports the comment as spam to AO3's spam detection system and removes the comment from your work. It also teaches that system that comments like this one are spam and should not be posted on works.
You can also simply delete the comment, if you prefer. These comments aren't anything that you need to worry about, although I advise you not to actually follow any links or visit any sites that they might direct you to.
There is no need to write in to Support or the Policy & Abuse team, either. They are aware that spam bots exist, and they do what they can to train the system to spot them.
You can avoid receiving spam guest comments by editing the Privacy settings on your works to only allow comments from registered users. That means only people who are logged into their AO3 account will be able to comment.

A little comic/zine for disability awareness month
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I actually sketched this out like 8 months ago, and let me tell you having to change two years to three was an experience. I was going through the worst flare up of my life while also working retail and I saw Derek Jarman’s “Ataxia - Aids is fun” painting and had a whole bunch of feelings about it. Also obvious reference to Frida Kahlo cause I was writing about her for my art history class. 
Image descriptions:
1 A simple watercolor painting of my legs lying in bed. I’m surrounded by spilled pills and a laptop. Text reads “Three years ago I laid down in bed and sometimes it feels like I never got up”.
2 Text continues “I did of course, I finished highschool... barely... I went out with friends... rarely” The word barely is surrounded by many small pages reading absent and late. At the bottom there are four simplyfied figures of my friends, with me (colored blue) separately, sitting behind a window. Second page, text reads “I’m lucky. My illness doesn’t prevent me from doing what I want (want is crossed out and corrected to am supposed to) It just makes it difficult, complicated or painful.” Under the word difficult a speech bubble reads “Just get up!” and a thought bubble answers “I’m trying...”. Under the word complicated there is a vending machine with every product except for water marked as either gluten or milk, and another thought bubble with “But I need to eat to take my meds”. Under the word painful a handrail in public transport with a row of simple, grey figures holding on and me, blue, crumbling to the floor.
3 “It forces me to choose between responsibilities, and it feels like I always choose wrong” Small drawings of a sink filled with dishes, a cat, a palette, a book and an old landline with “27 missed calls” written next to it. Second page “I feel like my time is running out, but also like I’m drowning in it.” Next to me trapped in an hourglass with grey sand pouring over my head. “I feel like I’m in a painkiller commercial where the happy ending never comes.” Me again, with my head, knees, wrists and lower back surrounded by red circles.
4 “I forget what’s normal” Two drawings of a smartphone, their screens read “tired of living on ibuprofen... five days a month” Underneath, a thought bubble with a calendar with most days in a month marked. A speech bubble reads “When did you last wash this mug” next to a dirty mug. A thought bubble answers “Wash it? I only use it for tea.” Second page “But, I’m just another link in a long chain of sick, queer artists.” A simplyfied drawing of Frida Kahlo’s “The Two Fridas. “And when I look back I feel them shout at me survive” the word survive is written into a series of panels in the colors of the original pride flag. In front of them, me.
5 “Because some days it really doesn’t feel like living” A small cash register with a long ribbon of receipts. “And when I can’t cry anymore, I laugh, at least it’s fun” The words at least it’s fun are written on a background of random colorful paintbrush strokes, very similar to Derek Jarman’s “Ataxia - Aids is fun”.
Please tell me if i’ve fucked something up with the descriptions.

Two Different Cities
Request: Hey! Love your work and was wondering if you could do one with Peter and the reader went to a different city for spring break then it has to do with smut over skype? Where Peter tells her what to do and ends up fluffy but also very smutty?
Warnings: Smut, Masturbation, Sort of dom Peter, fluffy Peter as well
Authors Note: Sorry I took so long to write this love, hope you enjoy. My bad if it’s horrible,it was slightly rushed.
Masterlist
Tumblr media
A sigh of contentment fell from your lips for the feeling of the sun sinking into your pores felt good. It was nice to finally get away from the cold weather of New York and get into some hot weather. Especially in Hawaii where Spring Break basically felt like a wonderful summer. If only Peter were here with you, then everything would be completely perfect.
The two of you had planned to spend Spring Break together but couldn’t because Aunt May was practically begging to go to Florida for a while now and Peter didn’t want to let her down. Who are you to stand between a wonderful aunt and adorable nephew so you being the kind person you are let him go with her to Florida. Still you missed him. Like a lot and it had only been a week since you had last seen him.
You were lying on a beach chair in front of the cool blue ocean enjoying the scene in front of you. Your family was there as well, they were just playing in the water.
Your phone made a sound, notifying you that someone had texted you. You sat up and grabbed your phone to see who it was.
Peter: Hey babe, I miss you so much.
A smile spreads across your face. and your heart warms. You missed your lovesick puppy too.
You: I miss you too, oh and check out this view I have of the beach I’m at!
You capture a picture of the beach then send it to him.
Peter: It’s beautiful but you know something that’s even more beautiful?
You: What?
Peter: You. Come on, send me a selfie of you, it’s been too long since I’ve seen your pretty face.
Blushing, you sit up in an upright position so you can get a better angle with your selfie. Swapping the camera towards you, you snap a quick pic of yourself then send it to Peter. It’s not even a minute before he replies.
Peter: Damn princess, your tits look amazing.
You: Peter! Is that the only thing you’re looking at??
Peter: No of course not. You already know I love your face but damn your tits look edible right now.
You: Wow, you’re such a horny loser, lol.
Peter: But cover up though, I don’t want any other guys looking at what’s mine!
You: Babe, it’s a beach. Practically every other girl is wearing a bathing suit. Some more revealing than mine.
Peter: Point taken.................but I gotta go though. We’re headed to Universal. I’ll text you tonight. I love you.
You: I love you too.
Setting down your phone you decide you want to get up and go swim in the water with the rest of your family so you do just that. After an hour of the beach, you guys decide to take off and head back to the beach house you rented for the time being spent there.
Your parents cooked a delicious Hawaiian dinner that literally had your mouth watering for more. In the middle of a funny story you guys were chatting about, your phone dinged!
No doubt this was Peter. Pulling your phone from your back pocket you found you were right.
Peter: Skype tonight?
You: You know it.
Let’s just say you were now bouncing out of your seat to speak to Peter; to see his face, to hear his voice. It’s a fact that you and Peter are lost without each other and when detached you both began to miss each other terribly.
The two of you found each other when in a broken place. High school kids aren’t nice, you’re basically bullied if you don’t meet up to their standards which is being perfect. So being paired with the not so popular Peter Parker for a lab partner was basically the best thing that ever happened to you.
You no longer cared if the popular kids made fun of you for not being what they are, you had the sweetest, clumsiest, most kindhearted boyfriend you could ever wish for. Not to mention, he’s spider man! If only they knew, then they would probably want to be Peter’s friend but popularity didn’t matter to you guys anymore. You had each other and that’s all you guys needed.
Hopping out of the shower, you put on some panties and one of Peter’s large t-shirts that you “borrowed.” Sitting criss cross on the bed you opened your laptop, getting ready to call Peter but he beat you to the punch as it spread across the screen that you were getting a skype call from him.
Not even hesitating you answered the call and his face appeared on the screen.
“Hi beautiful.” He said, his face beaming with excitement to see you.
“Hi dork.” You reply, the same energy spilling back.
He rolled his eyes at your comment but still was happy to see you. He seemed to be laying down in bed as well but he was shirtless which to be quite honest got you excited.
“How’s Hawaii? Meet Barack Obama yet?” He asked.
“Just because he was born here doesn’t mean he is here.” This was always Peter. Saying whatever came out of his mouth, though you didn’t mind. It made you laugh.
“He could be, you never know. You just gotta look.”
“Trust me when I say I’m having too much fun to be worrying about Barack Obama, even though I love him!”
“You better not be having too much fun without me.” He playfully scolded.
“I’m not, in fact if anything I miss you so much, Pete.”
“How much, baby girl?” His voice seems to have dropped to a low husky whisper causing a slight shiver to roll down your spine.
“So much that I crave you in every way.” You say, getting into the mood.
He smirked and shifted the laptop screen so now you had a full view of his chest, abs, and a little bit of his lower half.
“You look adorable with my shirt on but, I don’t know, I’m pretty sure it would look better with it off.” He said, running a hand through his brown locks, something he knew turned you on.
You raised your eyebrow at him. “Okay.” You say then remove his shirt. Slowly just to tease him. He bites his lip and groans, as the boner in his pants grows at the sight of your breasts. Honestly when it came to your body, Peter didn’t know which was his favorite. It was all just perfect in his eyes.
“Gosh baby, if only I was there to touch you.” He says, voice deep laced with lust.
“Tell me what you would do to me.” You reply, eyes looking over him through the laptop screen.
“Well, first I would help you out of those panties of yours and like to see that you’re dripping wet for me.....” He doesn’t even have to ask for you to do it.
Slowly and sensually you remove your panties, placing them next to you on the bed. Now you’re completely naked and on display for your boyfriend and he’d be lying if he said seeing you like this wasn’t the most beautiful thing he’s ever seen in his life. Even if it was over a screen.
“And then?” You say urging him to continue.
“And then I would kiss you on those lips, while moving my hands down to your pussy, touch yourself for me baby.”
Biting your lip, you open your legs wide so he has a view of your dripping core. In so little time the two of you had exchanged small communication and you were already so wet for him.
“So wet for me.”
“Only you,” You whimper out, as your fingers come in contact with your clit that was already becoming alive with nerves. You begin to rub it while your other hand feels on your breast, rubbing your nipple.
Oh how Peter wishes he could be with you in this moment, his cock is basically straining against his pants.
“You gonna join me?” You ask, reading his expression through the screen. You can tell he’s turned on to the max.
Without words, he takes off his pants and boxers fast and hurriedly wanting to release the tension that’s build up in his cock ever since he saw you in his shirt, your perky nipples showing through.
He returns his attention back to you and your still in the same position before, getting your body stimulated and ready.
“Now add a finger into that beautifully pussy.”
Doing as he says you enter your index finger inside of you but that’s enough so you add another, in the hopes that this would feel like your boyfriend’s cock. It’s not the same but with the sound of his voice and how horny you were it will do for now.
His hand goes down to his shaft, as he watches your fingers move in and out of your wet pussy. He groans and begins to pump his cock slowly in his hand, wishing that it was yours.
“Oh baby girl you look so gorgeous, you gonna moan for me?” He asks. “Gonna moan for daddy?”
Biting your lip, you tilt your head back letting out a soft relieving moan. The face of pleasure your’re showing could have made Peter come just then and there. You looked and sounded angelic. Fuck, he wanted you and you wanted him as well. Bad.
“Want your cock so bad, baby.” You moan out, returning your gaze back to him, fingers still sliding in and out of your wetness.
“I want to be inside you too princess.” He groans as he watches your hip’s jerk, your fingers had not run over your g-spot but they were pretty close. “Just imagine you riding my cock, like you’re riding your fingers and me sucking on those beautiful tits-”
“Mmm,” You hum,and once again close your eyes, letting the images of Peter’s description go through your mind. At this action Peter’s pace on his cock has quickened, pre-cum soothed all over it.
Low moans escape your lips and masculine groans come from him. Peter whispers sweet nothings turning you on even anymore and as well helping you to your climax.
“Fuck, I’m close Peter.” You purred, curling your fingers inside of you.
“Me too, come on. Come with me.” He doesn’t take his eyes off of you, not even for a second, scared that if he looked away he’d miss something.
A familiar tingle erupts in your stomach and everything in you, deep down clenches in the most sweetest way. You move your other hand down to your clit, rubbing it fast setting off ever nerve in your aroused body.
“Oh Pete,”
“Fuck, baby, I’m coming.” You both watch each other come, both moaning as well but very lowly so the adults don’t hear. “I can’t wait till I see you next week.” He says, still bit breathless from getting off.
“Why? What are you going to do?” You ask, already knowing the answer. Your breath begins to shallow.
“Might just fuck the shit out of you.” You both chuckle at his remark.
“Oh great, now my sheets are wet and from what I can see yours probably are too.” You say.
Peter just shrugs. “Well it gives us an excuse to take a shower together.” He wiggles his eyebrows suggestively.
“Are you saying what I think you’re saying?”
“I’ll skype you on your phone and when you answer you better be in the shower.”
Without further word he hangs up, leaving you to look at your desktop background of your laptop, witch is a selfie you and Peter took when having a movie night. Looking at the picture and remembering what just took place you realize how much you genuinely love Peter and wouldn’t trade him for the world.
The sound of your phone ringing snapped you out of your thoughts and you grabbed it off the desktop to see Peter calling you.
 Oh shit. 
Smirking to yourself you race to the bathroom, excited for what was in store next.

The Partner Revealed - Part 7
Tumblr media
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6 | Part 7 | Part 8 | Part 9
Pairing: Jughead Jones x Reader
Description: Revelations on Jason’s case burn through.
Warnings: None I can think of. But I suck at warnings... 
Word count: 3281
A/N: Wow, it’s been more than a month since the last part was released and this one is more on the short side. Dog Days final part coming soon :)
Y/N’s point of view
Y/N wakes up in fright, heart pounding off her chest, barely breathing. The loud noises that interrupted her slumber are coming from downstairs. She gets up as quickly and silently as possible and grabs the baseball bat her uncle gave her when she turned 14, which has been neglected to the corner of the room ever since. Gathering all her courage, the girl walks down the stairs slowly, avoiding the creaking steps she learned to skip when sneaking out at night, hoping it’s not Jason’s killer, for a 16-year-old with a bat she doesn't even know how to use won’t stand a chance against someone with a gun that has already killed a teenager.
At the bottom of the stairs someone is coming up with boxes covering their face. She gets scared and swings, missing whoever is there by a hair. “Wow. Sweetie, it’s me.” Her father’s familiar voice calms her. He drops his box at the step and takes the baseball bat from her as she still looks distressed. It takes her a few seconds to process she’s safe, but as soon as she does, her arms are around her father. “No love for moma?” Y/N sees her mother, of whom she’s the spitting image, standing by the open front door. She runs down to hug the woman just as tight as she did her dad.  “You guys didn't tell me you were coming.”, she says, happy to see them instead of a killer. “We wanted to surprise you.” “That you sure did.” They all laugh, as that wasn't exactly the welcome they were expecting. “Do you need help unpacking?” Y/N notices the mess everywhere. “No, you go get ready for school. We’ll deal with all this”, her mother instructs, pointing at everything around the living-room with a ‘why did we brought so much stuff’ look.
Y/N gets back to her room without any guilt for not helping them. She’s used to them coming back home with extra luggage. The girl did try to help once, but they just ended up making a bigger mess. It’s a lot earlier than she planned on waking up, so she takes that time to finish her articles for the Blue and Gold. Time flies by and she only notices when her belly roars in hunger. The girl quickly changes out of her pijamas into high waisted jeans and a loose tank top. Reaching the kitchen, she finds suitcases and boxes full of stuff they brought from the trip piled everywhere, making it impossible to eat, let alone cook there. “I’m going to Pop’s for breakfast.”, she shouts grabbing a jacket from the coat hanger. “Wait! We didn't even have time to catch up.” Her mom comes out from behind a pile of boxes. “We’ll do that at dinner, when I come back to this house the way it was before you arrived, young lady.”, Y/N says playfully. “Oh. Bring your boyfriend for dinner.”, Y/F/N requests. “He’s not my boyfriend.” She blushes. “Of course not, you just spend a lot of time with him, talking about him, thinking about him...”, Y/M/N teases. “Ok, I got it. See ya later.” Y/N blows them a kiss and heads out.
The girl is glad to be reminded of Jughead. She texts him on her way to the diner. 
From: Y/N
Wanna have breakfast at Pop’s? My treat.
From: Jughead
Would love to, but I’m heading to Betty’s for breakfast. I’m gonna distract her mom while she tries to find out where Polly was taken to. 
Y/N doesn't reply, perplexed to why she wasn't included in their plan. She’s not mad at Jug, but rather disappointed in Betty. After the memorial, she was sure they were on the same page. Clearly not. Nonetheless, she’s not gonna let that stop her from getting the best milkshakes in town before class.
Jughead’s point of view
The chair in the Blue and Gold office is way more comfortable than his mattress on the floor. Nevertheless, whenever Jughead tries to sleep there, he ends up staying up late, writing. Tonight is one of those nights. Without any major development on the Jason Blossom case, the novelist doesn't really have much to add to the story but editing is just as important. Jug can’t move past the paragraph about the first time he met Y/N by the edge of Sweet Water River just after the body was removed. It’s the way she’s written in, skeptical and cold, that got him stuck, realizing he doesn't relate to that at all. Even so, at the same time, it’s how he felt back then. Since he promised she’d be the first to read his finished work, the writer can’t imagine letting her read those as his first words about her.
After much editing, he’s finally happy with the end result of Y/N’s introduction to the story. The clock on his screen shows it just turned 6 am. He could try and get some sleep, but the boy remembers the long overdue paper he has to deliver and not a single sentence written yet. School work isn't really his forte. Forty-five minutes go by and Jug’s staring at his laptop screen, motionless, not even all the cold coffee left in his thermos flask would be enough to keep him awake, so he decides to take a power nap before leaving for Betty’s. Jughead just slouches back on the chair and crosses his feet over the table. Leaving the office would mean 15 minutes wasted wondering the school halls till his ‘room’ and he can’t afford to lose a single one. He’s woken up by a text from Y/N, inviting him to eat at Pop’s, rather than his alarm clock. 
Of course he would 100 times prefer to have breakfast with Y/N at the Chock’lit Shoppe than with Betty and her mom, but the fate of their investigation could rest with whatever information they can get out of Polly, and for that they need to know where she is. That’s something they can only get from Alice and everything is set for today. Jughead just hopes the Y/H/C girl understands that. He can’t help thinking if she had texted a little earlier he would most definitely have had two breakfasts. 
A couple of waffles in, some OJ and both silent and vocal insults from Alice, Betty gives him the sign to get her mom out of the room, which is as easy as asking for the bathroom. When he returns, the blonde is already waiting for him by the front door with an accomplished look. Jughead thanks Alice for the ‘hospitality’ before they leave hurriedly. He can’t wait to share this with Y/N.
Y/N’s point of view
Y/N uses her free period to drop her finished articles at the Blue and Gold not expecting to run into Betty and Jughead in there. “It's a Home for troubled youths.Where disenfranchised teens will learn such virtues as discipline and respect, enjoying lives of quiet reflection and servitude.”, Jug quotes. “Poor Polly.“, Bets says. “So you found out?”, Y/N asks, reveling her presence in the room. She can see the blonde dig her nails in her palms and go from a hateful to calm face within seconds. “Y/N/N! So glad you could join us. Juggie was very helpful in us finding out where Polly is.”, Betty says on fake-nice tone, stroking Jug’s arm, making him cringe and Y/N’s face grow red. “Where is that?”, the Y/H/C girl inquires, trying to not sound weird out by the whole ordeal. “The Sisters of Quiet Mercy. Sounds creepy, I know.”, the raven-haired boy replies. “When are we going?”, Y/N asks enthusiastically, as this would be their first group operation. “I think it’s best if just me and Juggie go. Too many people can call attention.”, the vixen replies coarsely. “I disagree.” Jughead stands up and walks away from Betty. “The more the merrier. If things go south we can create a diversion, plus Y/N can drive us there.” There’s no valid argument Betty could use to explain why she doesn't want Y/N with them. The Y/E/C eyes meet Jug’s blueish ones in gratitude for standing up for her.
The bell for lunch rings and they leave the office to the courtyard. They find the table where Archie is sitting next to Valerie, with a melancholic expression. Betty walks a little faster than them and sits in the corner of the bench, forcing Jug to sit in the middle and Y/N next to him in the other corner. “I think we should do it after school.”, Bets suggests, probably because she knows Y/N has an extra class today. “Sure, that works for me.”, the Y/H/C girl agrees and takes a sip from her soda. Playing Betty’s game isn't really something she wants to do, but she’s not just about to leave Jug alone with her again. “What are you guys talking about? Anything I can help with?”, Archie inquiries, begging to be a part of it, same way Y/N has to fight for her spot in. “What we're attempting is a stealth operation, Archie. If we go in there with the entire Scooby Gang, forget it, we're compromised.”, Jug explains, eating the last of his tortilla chips. The ginger boy looks even more miserable at that, but at soon as Veronica arrives, his gloominess changes, since she offers to play with him at the Variety Show. Y/N understands Jughead’s gestures of asking for her bag of potato chips and gives it to him with a smile, only to watch Betty making fists with her hands once again.
Now that her parents are home, Y/N can’t just skip class so she heads into her classroom acting sick. Lucky for her she’s very convincing and the teacher let’s her out without any problems. She meets Jug and Betty by the front gate so they can walk together to her house where she’ll get her mom’s car to drive them to the Sisters of Quiet Mercy building. The girl asks them to wait on the corner while she gets the car. Y/N’s not in the mood to explain to her parents what they are doing. Not too long goes by and they hear the loud roar of the Impala. “I call shotgun.” Jughead says opening the door so that Betty can seat in the back.
Jughead’s point of view
They arrive at the reception. The place looks more like a prison than a home. Betty hands the nun her ID and she’s allowed in, but Jughead and Y/N have to stay back. “What do you think she’s gonna find?”, the girl asks as they sit on a bench in the lobby. “The truth. Whatever that is.”, he answers. Soon after, they are asked to wait in a room. The doctor insists on them moving, not taking into consideration their attempts to prove they’re fine where they are. “Are we being committed now?” Y/N tries to open the window, to no success. “No. But that may have been a better outcome.” Jug makes her turn around to see Alice Cooper by the door with a furious look. 
They are being escorted out by doctors. Before they reach the door, Polly comes out from a corner. She loses control and start screaming at her mom for not telling her what happened to Jason. Y/N tries to block one of the doctors from holding Betty, so the blonde can hug her sister. “Don’t touch her.” Jughead throws himself in front of the Y/H/C girl as the doctor was just about to pin her on the wall. They all watch as the pregnant mourning girl is dragged out. Jug is met with a different, darker view of what he thought was a perfect family.
At the parking lot, Alice instructs Betty to wait in the car and she walks away with both a grateful and apologetic look. Thanks to them, she got to see her sister, although because of that her mother is just about to lecture them. “I didn't expect this of you, Y/N.” The girl can’t meet Mrs. Cooper’s eyes. “She was doing...”, the boy starts. “Jug...” She nods her head from side to side interrupting him. “That’s right, Jughead. Y/N doesn't need you to defend her. She knows she’s wrong.”, Alice spits with her eyes still watery. “No. Betty has a right to know what’s going on with her sister. And THIS... exiling your own daughter because she’s pregnant. I didn't expect THAT from you.” Y/N opens the car door and gets in without looking back at Alice. Jughead follows her actions and they drive away. 
“Where should I drop you off?”, she asks. Jughead is silent for a while, figuring out the best way out of this. “How about we just go to Pop’s?”, he suggests, defensively. “Sure. After this, all I need is a double chocolate shake with waffles.” Y/N changes their route to the Chock’lit Shoppe. “Waffles? For dinner?” The raven-haired boy laughs. “Don’t judge me, Mr. Coffee-before-bed-ops-I-have-insomnia.”, the girl teases and they both laugh. Y/N keeping her eyes off the road a little longer than she should’ve. Juggie is sure he caught her glimpsing at his lips but this isn't the right time for it so he just focuses on their order. He’s temped on the waffles as well, but the usual burger wins every time.
Of course he stole a few bites from Y/N’s delicious sweet treat, making the girl fake-mad and him fake-innocent. However, a sweet grin vanishes from his face as fast as it appeared since she offered to drive him home once again. “I think I’m just gonna stay here, enjoy the free coffee refills and write a bit.” Jug hates not being able to tell her why he’s not going home. Luckily she doesn't look suspicious to his reasons for staying. “How about tomorrow we have actual food for dinner? My place?”, Y/N asks confidently. “Sounds good.” The boy loves Pop’s, but the thought of real food makes his stomach fluster. The girl slides off the booth and walks out of the diner, leaving Jug wishing there was a white chocolate and ginger milkshake so he could still smell her.
Y/N’s point of view
 Light tapping on Y/N’s bedroom window startles her. “Jug?” She surprises herself as this is the second time she calls him by his nickname. The boy is on a ladder the girl wasn't even aware they owned. “Hey there, Juliet.”, he proclaims, getting in. “You do know we have a front door?”, Y/N asks rhetorically. “There was an unfamiliar car in your driveway.”, he states, looking around the posters on her walls and some of the books on her shelves before turning to face her. “So you decided to climb up?” She waves her hands in confusion. “Could've been the killer. I may as well have saved your life.” Her heart beats faster as he walks closer and closer. “Also...” Jughead breaths in, his eyes switching from her lips to her Y/E/C orbs. He guides his hands to each side of her cheeks. Without hesitation Jug leans in, meeting their lips in a sweet, passionate kiss. Y/N is dazed by his actions and takes a few seconds to kiss back. But their moment is interrupted by her father knocking on the door. “Dinner is almost ready. When is your friend coming?”, he shouts through the hallway. “Soon.”, Y/N replies with a wide smile, looking up at that amazing boy in front of her, who just gave this fortunate overjoyed pleased teen her first kiss. 
They walk down the stairs to the kitchen. “Where did Jughead come from?”, her mother asks, suspiciously. “You know Nightcrawler, right? Ta-da!”, Y/N points at the boy, implying he teleported. “Are you hiding a tail under that flannel?”, her father jokes. “No, I've got my holographic clock on.” Jughead shows his wrist, with a bracelet rather a clock, but the reference to X-Men: Evolution still stands. Y/N’s sporting an amazed look at his knowledge on the series. “Ok, Kurt. you can sit here.” Y/F/N point at the seat next to his daughters usual place and winks at the girl. Laughter and conversation fill the room. Y/M/N shares stories about their travel, Y/F/N talks about some of his less bloody cases, and Jughead gives them movies suggestions. Y/N is loving every second of it. However, as soon as they finish the main course, Jug’s phone buzzes. He shows Y/N the text.
From: Betty
Meet me at route 40 by the Maple Syrup sign. 
Both teens look at each other, knowing they have to go, because it could be about the case they are desperate to solve. “Mom, we’re gonna skip desert, we have to go meet some friends.”, Y/N tells them, seeing the disappointed look in Jug’s face. “That’s ok, honey. Call us if you’re gonna be later than really late.”, her mother says. “Thank you for dinner Mr. and Mrs. Y/L/N. It was delicious.”, Jughead says. “Oh, please. Calls us Y/M/N and Y/F/N and you’re very welcome.”, her father replies, taking out their plates.
Y/N parks the Impala when she spots Betty by the roadside under the pouring rain. She doesn't look happy, and not about being soaking wet, but at the sight of an accompanied Jughead. “How...” The blonde doesn't even have time to finish when Jug cuts her off. “I was having dinner at Y/N’s when I got your text. It, seemed odd you didn't send her one.”, he speaks firmly, making sure this doesn't go any further. “So, why are we here?”, Y/N asks, looking around. “Polly told me about a getaway car Jason had ready for them. I wonder if it’s still here.”, Betty says, handing each a flashlight and directing them towards the sign. Even with the little visibility they have it’s not hard to find the vehicle, covered with tarpaulin and leafs as it has been there for a while now. 
They remove the protective layers and open the trunk, revealing suitcases and Jason’s varsity jacket. “What are those?”, Betty asks, pointing at something in plastic wrap. “Drugs...” Jughead picks one up. “JUG!”, Y/N shouts, making him drop the evidence. “Fingerprints...”, she explains, rubbing everything they touched with the sleeve of her sweater. “This is all evidence, we need to talk to Sheriff Keller and get Polly.”, the blonde girl states. “This whole car is a crime scene.” Jughead takes a few pictures with his phone before they leave to warn the Sheriff about it. 
Sadly, by the time Sheriff Keller arrives at the site, the car is in flames, and Polly isn't at The Sisters of Quiet Mercy anymore.

EXO Theory Pt.7 - We Got That Power!
This is now so late up, and it’s because I’ve had so many different things going wrong, mainly my laptop being a piece of crap, but I finally wrote this out and I really hope this doesn’t crash again haha. Also I actually just kept changing my mind about what I thought, and that was pretty annoying so I kept putting this off. Anyway, let’s explore EXO’s new MV, Power, shall we?
<<– First Part  |  <- Previous Part |   * Theory Masterpost
Sequence of Events
MAMA/History/What Is Love - Miracles in December - Romantic Universe - KoKoBop - MAMA 2016 VCR - (Parallel Universe) - Lucky One - Overdose - Love Me Right - Wolf/Growl - Lotto - Coming Over  -  Pathcodes/Call Me Baby - Monster  - Sing For You  - For Life - Parallel Universe  - RF_05 - Power - The Eclipse - MAMA 2016 Performance 
Every time I’ve written this post up I’ve started from the beginning of the MV’s narration, but, as I’m getting quite bored of this, I’m going to now start at the end, with the clip of Baekhyun in the water.
Tumblr media
As well as being ridiculously pretty, Baekhyun is pretty important to my theory of the EXO story, as well as obviously in this music video. The ending where he parachutes to ‘Earth’? and is in the water as he is here, is interesting, mostly because (as I’m sure we’re all aware) links nicely to the EXO graphic novel that was included with the album.
I don’t have the album (sadly I’m poor) and I wouldn’t be able to buy as many albums as necessary to complete the novel anyway, but some people are nice enough to scan in online so I’ve read it from here (x) and come to some lovely conclusions haha.
So at the beginning of this comic we see a flash-forward it would seem of Baek falling just as in the MV and saying ‘It could have been wrong from the beginning. I guess it went to my head.’ which is telling us that something’s gone wrong, and it seems to have been Baekhyun’s fault, something made him too egotistical or sure of himself? Well this doesn’t line up very well with what we see of him in the music video - he saves the day almost, right? Well maybe not. Hehe, I’ll come back to this later on.
Throughout the comic we see the members (only 8 sadly, I really don’t see why they couldn’t have added Lay to the comic at least?!) working together to infiltrate some trucks? I’m gonna be honest, I am quite confused about parts of this comic But they’re working together, D.O and Baek at the helm of the operation, with the other members seemingly carrying out tasks that they’re told to do (or so they should be, doesn’t seem like anyone really listens.. which isn’t surprising)!
Now as I’m sure you’re aware, the members in the comic book are seen wearing the same clothes as in their Pathcode teasers.
Tumblr media
Originally I put the Power MV right after the Pathcodes, but as I kept writing this out it made less and less sense to me, so I moved it to where I had originally intended to put it, just before the Eclipse. The events in the comic, where it is flashbacking, is clearly set within the Pathcode era and so the question becomes how do they get together and what is it they’re exactly doing here?
Well, in the Pathcodes we see all the members separated and getting signs throughout about something ominous happening. I spoke about this I think in the last part? And in Baekhyun’s especially there’s the moment when he removes an earphone and hears someone say the words ‘Someone’s looking for you’. I just went through all my posts and I actually have never spoken about Baek’s Pathcode properly I don’t think? That’s crazy. Anyway, I love Baek’s Pathcode, it’s the most interesting (other than Soo’s maybe) imo. So in his Pathcode, he hears this creepy voice. There are a few possibilities as to who’s talking to him. Remember, in my theory Pathcodes are a bit complicated because the members think they’ve escaped, but they realise towards the end that they haven’t. 
They realise this because of Kyungsoo. (Forgive me if I have gone over this before, but I can’t really remember and I tried skimming my posts and couldn’t see anything that really went over this part of my theory!) In many of the Pathcodes, the members see an image, an allusion, to light disappearing and they get scared. We see it in Tao’s, Sehun’s, Chen’s, Chanyeol’s, Kai’s and Lay’s. And in Xiumin’s we see him get a message in the TV Screen by an image that looks like a wolf:
Tumblr media
I think I wrote about this in Part 6? that I think Soo really worries about the Wolf part of the story because he got betrayed and hurt in it my another Guardian (Luhan).
Tumblr media
So the wolf image that I think D.O is sending Xiu here is significant, as it’s a symbol of betrayal with him, and is signalling back to a time when the members were truly divided.
I wasn’t sure whether to include this here, but I might do so. Back when I started writing these theories and was trying to figure out the initial order of the MVs (back when Monster and Lucky One had just come out), the Wolf MV was really frustrating to me. Obviously the actual video is kind of not important, but the movie thing that came with it (and Growl) kind of had a story. Part of it is just a cheap Twilight rip off, I get that, but I thought there had to me more because it otherwise didn’t make sense. So I started researching wolves generally: their symbology, their associations in dreams, the mythology around them, and I came across the fire wolves/dogs (Bulgae) in Korean mythology. They sounded really cool and they had this description regarding eclipses:
Tumblr media
Now this is kind of a common theme in many cultures around the world, like the Vikings, but it’s kind of interesting that Wolf could also be linked to an eclipse, the most symbolic thing in EXO’s mythology now. You know, it could just be coincidence, but I dunno.
Anyway, so the message Xiumin receives could also be alluding to the eclipse as well as having a deeper meaning (which is possible as XiuSoo have a strong connection imo!)
Suho doesn’t get a warning lol because he’s too trapped, he just gets trapped by his own power. Baekhyun gets the voice, that is probably Soo, but then he reacts by also making it darker.
Tumblr media
And ends up getting trapped also.
Tumblr media
So now the question really becomes how do the Pathcodes relate to the comic? Do the contents of Pathcode come after or before that in the comic flashback? Well one way i think to really know is through Kyungsoo himself, who unlike the other members, gets three changes of clothes in his PC teaser.
Firstly he gets the blue and black jumper.
Tumblr media
This is the first one we see I think, as it’s the one I believe he’s wearing when we see him awake at the very beginning of the teaser. 
Then we have the black suit when he’s in the car.
Tumblr media
This is the one that corresponds to the change of time from 09.00 to 09.01 in Colorado, which is important as it’s the same time (when accounting for time zone differences) as the first member’s teaser, Kai.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then thirdly, we have the outfit Soo is wearing in the new graphic novel pages, and the one he was wearing when he looked through the looking glass (hello, Alice) and sees the other members Pathcodes!
Tumblr media
I used to think that these were taking place over different days, but after the Power MV and the Parallel Universes teaser, as well as this idea from kaizzi, I started to think that maybe these are three different versions of Kyungsoo. And this makes so much more sense, and honestly has rejuvenated a lot of my faith in this theory that I briefly doubted when I saw Power and the comic tbh. So, firstly I want to talk about this Red-Shirt-Kyungsoo™ universe.
In the comic book we see Baekhyun say ‘Or maybe // Something has been wrong from the beginning’. This could be applicable to either the Pathcodes or the end of Power, or even both. I mean, at this point, the timeline’s so messed up by the revelation of these Parallel Universes, not to mention that two of the powers, Tao’s and Kai’s, involved bending time and space, that is anything even linear in this story anymore? God knows, and so I sure don’t! But, personally, I took it to be referring to the Pathcodes as the beginning, because I do believe they mark the ‘beginning’ of a new sequence; ‘The Betrayal’. 
I think the Pathcode teasers come after the events we have yet to see in this graphic novel series. It said ‘To be continued’ so hopefully we’ll see more of this story with the members tracking down these trucks or whatever and potentially see exactly what Baekhyun is referring to when he says ‘it went to [his] head’. And so when Kyungsoo is looking through this door, I don’t think he’s seeing a parallel universe, he’s seeing the one that Red-Shirt-Kyungsoo™ is actually in, and is communicating with the members to be wary of Baekhyun, and warning them they’re still in the Dream. (Yes, I do think it’s still a dream state, even with the Parallel Universes... we can have both things happening simultaneously, I really do think so!). And so that’s basically my theory for Red-Shirt-Kyungsoo™ world. 
Next I’ll speak more about Suited-and-Booted-Kyungsoo™ and the theory with Kai!
Tumblr media
I think I’ve spoken endlessly about the significance of cars, and how who’s driving them is important, so I won’t go into it again. But the fact that this is taking place (imo) at the exact time as Kai’s Pathcode is the more important fact here.
Tumblr media
At the end of Kai’s Pathcode we see him teleport away. This is the first time since MAMA in my sequence of events that Kai uses teleportation, his power. Now, the reason I think this is super significant, I went over in detail in my MAMA 2016 part (x) but basically Kai has been hiding his real power from the Red Forces since the beginning because this ability is the key to travelling between the worlds/planes and capturing the Heart of the Tree of Life. There are two MVs in particular that really highlight this avoidance. KoKoBop and Lucky One.
I’ve spoken about Lucky One before, but basically the only power we don’t see evidenced is Kai’s. Instead, he has a lil’ dance. 
Tumblr media
Very nice.
And then in KoKoBop, we still don’t see Kai use his power. I know this might be a little controversial but hear me out.
I think in KoKoBop we see Kai using some ex-member powers.
Tumblr media
Like, since when is Kai’s ability levitation? It’s not. This is closer linked to Kris’ power imo.
Tumblr media
And this may be a little out there, but I kind of always thought the car moving by itself was similar to Luhan’s power, telekinesis. At least, it’s nothing to do with teleportation.
KKB is set right after Romantic Universe in my theory, and at the end of RomUni we see Kai driving the car that had previously been squashed. Now I took this to kind of mean Kai taking some control and choosing to hide his power, or sacrifice it, even. So in KKB I think he’s being kind of cheeky by referencing a number of powers that aren’t his, especially by reading the ‘Space Movement’ book that’s pictured above - that can be linked to his power, yes, but also to the movement between universes/worlds, and to a lesser extent Tao’s power which would also be connected to space-time travel.
(Also, small sidenote, but I also see no real evidence for Sehun using his powers in this MV, and I think the link to Chen’s is very tedious. I don’t really have reasons for this, but I think it’s kind of weird. Especially as Sehun and Chen later become counterparts. But I don’t want to really delve into any of this right now just pointing it out as I never got around to properly finishing my KKB theories!)
So yeah, Kai using teleportation in Pathcode is kind of a big deal. And what triggers it is even more important. Right before he teleports he gets this flashback to Overdose: 
Tumblr media
We see here, a glimpse of himself at the edge of the maze, Tao looking at his own reflection, D.O getting the box of sand, then the sand falling upwards (in reverse) and Chen witnessing light dimming.
Light dimming. Yep, I’m going there. This is a very specific set of images. It’s showing they’re still trapped, that time isn’t moving how they think, they might be in a different world (reflection world) and D.O receiving the box. As well as the light going out which I’m sure I’ve mentioned more than enough what I think that means. So, pretty deep. And then he teleports. But where to? To the one who sent him the image.
Tumblr media
And this is why Kai’s power’s so important, because he can travel between worlds. And he travels here to meet Soo in a different plane, but the same time, because Kai can’t really control time, right, that’s Tao’s power.
And now the most interesting of Soo’s outfits imo, the Blue-Stripe-Turtlenecks-Why-Is-Soo-Always-In-A-Turtleneck-OMG-I-Hate-Them™ one. So this is the one we see (I think at least, I’m gonna say so) him waking up in.
Tumblr media
Why is this so significant? Because I kind of think that in this parallel plane Kyungsoo is actually waking up here. He’s escaping the dream. At least the Red Forces dream, and that’s why he’s able to finally open his mind.
Tumblr media
And we immediately see him surrounded by nature, greenery and trees, and we get this image in a sequence shortly after.
Tumblr media
Which is showing half a dried up tree. In this Blue-Stripe-Soo™ outfit I think we see one version of Kyungsoo escape and start to think about the half of the Tree he’s meant to be guarding. And I think it’s here that he might fully realise that it’s Baekhyun. Before this moment we have a few instance of Soo paying attention to Baek because he might not trust him, and he probably had an inkling. But D.O’s not impervious to the RF even if he has more power than the others in resisting that kind of stuff, he couldn’t think about it clearly until now. This is what I think. And then he decides to take action.
Tumblr media
Here we see a representation of Soo’s meddling. I used to think the 3 marbles in his hand were him, Kai and Xiu, and I kind of still think that. But another part of me is thinking it might be a bit different. 
Tumblr media
So, the yellow I think could be the planets aligning, and the red the two worlds that they originally landed on (the two that look alike and have the same ground... you know the narration by now). The green in Soo’s hand, are the three Kyungsoo’s we meet in this teaser. Blue, Red and Suit, who are now directly affecting the situations. I mean, they kind of have been, but up until this point I think it’s always been that Kyungsoo has been just observing. Now meeting Kai, being in command (kind of) in the comic, and actually escaping in one of the realities, this is direct action. This is important.
I mean this is a theory I literally just thought of, but it’s pretty neat imo.
But let’s go back to the comic now. Baek says ‘it went to my head’. I think this is referring to him knowing that he is the Heart. I think it’s pretty clear in the Power MV that he knows his power is now important. I mean, we get this fucking wonderful clip that made me pretty much die.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like, sorry, but I called this haha. Bitch he’s the sun, ahaha.
Anyway, no, but he is important as hell! And he knows this. But when does he realise? Some time after Pathcode, what he considers the ‘beginning’, as that’s where Baekhyun flashbacks to. 
I’m not sure where to really begin theorising with this information, but there are two things I’m sure of when Baek’s referring to himself messing up. Firstly, I think the message (the voice) he gets in his PC teaser is so vague compared to a lot of the others, and so much more spookier, that I’m sure it’s even more important. Like, ‘someone’s looking for you’ could be the RF or it could be his members. He doesn’t know, I don’t know, nobody does. Sure, he acts scared after this fact, but maybe that was even a mistake, maybe him letting the little light flecks surround him at the end was a mistake. I dunno.
The other thing I’m sure of is that it’s connected to him finding out he’s the Heart. I’m now so convinced of this theory, everything that is released honestly strengthens this so much it can’t not be true at this point. So it has to have something to do with this MV and this ending. It’s too significant that Baek hides his power (with EXO-L aww) and can release the others. And that he falls to the water at the end.
Going back to that, I kind of love this ending because it’s so vague almost. I think I have a theory about this, I won’t go into it in too much detail because it’s kind of out there. But it’s linked to the dream state. Yes, I think they’re still in it during Power, and in fact when Baek falls at the end I think it’s him falling to a deeper kind of level of the dream (think Inception), This is all I really have so far without going into a billion MVs and I wanna talk some more about the meat of the Power MV.
For the most part, this MV is self explanatory. But there’s some interesting parts. I’ll be going backwards though because I’m liking this. 
Right before the Baek falling bit, we have this amazing (!!!!!) sequence.
Tumblr media
(This gif takes all justice away from the clip TT)
Obviously this is just so awesome. I’m a really big fan of EXO’s Powers and it’s just so cool to look at. I even really like that Chen’s lightning is orange for some reason? Hehe, but it’s just so cool. But the importance is with Chanyeol here, I think, because as you can see in the gif he’s at the front of the group for this part. For some reason, I’m really stuck on this idea even though I think it’s kind of unlikely. But I kind of think this is linked to the beginning of the MV:
Tumblr media
Yeah, I think the end of the MV is them blowing up the door at the beginning. I know this sounds crazy, but I just don’t think it’s that crazy. For mainly this reason.
Tumblr media
The little light on the end of this thingy is red here.
Tumblr media
But in the next scene it’s orange.
Tumblr media
Chanyeol has a red eye for some reason in this MV? I think the first arm thing with the red light is Chanyeol. I really don’t know. But I’m so stuck on this idea. Like why else would he just have a red eye in the video? And it wouldn’t be the first time that an EXO MV has finished as it started:
Tumblr media
At the start of RomUni we see the car get crushed, and at the end it gets uncrushed.
Tumblr media
In Sing For You we see members disappear at the start, and reappear at the end.
Tumblr media
Overdose begins and ends with Kai (or Lu) within a maze, never able to get out.
I mean, come on, it’s not too much of a stretch, right?
=)
But that’s what I think, that the members might even be stuck in a loop of fighting the RF, and even getting their powers back. A theme of the MV in my opnion was the members and the RF restarting over and over again until they ‘won’. Especially during the part (I can’t gif it it’s too long) when the members keep adding one by one to shoot at the robot, before Chen like saves the day pretty much.
Tumblr media
Speaking of Chen, what a bamf in this MV. By far my fave in here. I don’t really get it, but boy, he really does have that power.
Another person I wanna talk about is Sehun. I feel like out of everyone Sehun is the one I have the least ideas about when it comes to this story. I’m not entirely sure what his role is, ever tbh, but he kind of did some stuff here. Mainly, shooting at D.O.
Tumblr media
He’s also on a walkie talkie of some kind so I wonder who he’s talking to. But I think this is important because, like I mentioned in part 6 (x), this is the only real time that we are seeing Soo vulnerable. And it’s not just once. It’s twice we see him fall scared like this, and he also has that scratch on his face (that switches sides sometimes haha). This is just so unlike how he is in the rest of the story.
But then we also see him leading an attack on the RF robot.
Tumblr media
Like I dunno. Soo confuses me in this MV.
Because there’s also these two things:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We see Soo and Sehun’s orbs highfiving? And we also see the EXO-L kittie playing with Soo and Chanyeol’s orbs? 
Sehun who (probably accidentally I will admit) fires at another member, and Chanyeol who has a red eye, reminiscent of the RF and also Kris/Lu in the Wolf Drama vid. And Soo who’s out of character for the most part. I’m half convinced this whole MV is a simulation of sorts, much like KoKoBop. This is the simulation of the First War on EXO Planet, and the Red Forces keep losing, so they keep restarting. By this point in the story I think all the members are kind of aware what’s going on with them being trapped, and the war ongoing, so I think they’re just messing around. Acting different than they usually would to kind of purposefully mess up the sim. If the RF can’t predict how they’re going to act, the RF can’t win.
Except that at the end, Baek leaves them. Hmm...
But let’s finish where we started cos I think that’s all I really have to say about the actual MV (other than I really like it, and the song, but the stage is soooo good it might be my fav title after LMR now!). Let’s go back to Baek.
Tumblr media
I’m very excited to read more of the comic, I think that holds so much potential story that could be explained better than in the MVs! And I want to know what happens next. The possibilities are just endless. I’m not sure I have my theories right, you know, but it’s just so fun to ponder and make little connections and try and link it altogether. I’m also really hopeful that Lay will return to the story. I know I haven’t really spoken about him, but I’m still kind of convinced he’s gone to a different world (I wrote about this here (x)), and that’s why he’s absent here. He’s too vital to keep missing out of the story!
Anyway, this got soo long, I spent the whole day pretty much writing this and getting kind of confused. Thanks to everyone who sent such lovely messages asking to read this and motivating me to write it! And thanks for reading this far if you did, it’s nice to know I’m not just babbling to myself haha! Bye for now though! ^^
-> Next Part
