#bro is not having a good time but at least he gets to commit arson about it

[bravevolunteer]

lied about being productive for a second, tma au michael

[evelyn-onfire]

band camp boyfriend headcanons because I am normal:

Tom has in fact played ddlc and his favorite character is Sayori (friends to lovers is his favorite trope)

Peter is bi and he flirts with girls because he's scared of his sexuality (he does have a preference for women, too)

Clark does a lot of painting in his spare time and he's very artistic outside of band

Tom has IBS. There is no way that man has a normal digestive system with how much shit he eats

Tom knows how to throw knives and use a bow, because he gets way too into video games like Asassins Creed and goes "yeah I can fight like that"

Garth does ballet. That's it thats all.

Poptart also has ibs because I said so

Samuel is very popular with people and even though pretends to be oblivious, he definitely knows and doesn’t really care. Peter is baffled by this

Poptart has committed arson

Poptart is bi curious

Tom has really horrible nightmares at least once a month, especially after what happened during band camp (his route might not be "canon" but IT IS TO ME)

Tom likes to play Megalovania on his trombone and it pisses Clark off

Clark did secretly have a crush on Tom but he knew it would never work out

Tom has adhd (im projecting)

Poptart 100% experiments with pronouns. He collects them. You cant misgender him. he/they/xe/sweet/star + more

Clark kins Donnie from rottmnt

Clark has sensory issues when it comes to textures, making him very picky when it comes to food and clothes (again, projecting)

Cadence, Felicity, Susie, and Olive take self defense classes together

Cadence, Felicity, and Susie LOVE Kpop. Cadence listens to Ateez and Seventeen, Felicity listens to BTS, NCT127, and Stray Kids, and Susie listens to every girl group she can find (but also likes TxT). Tom enjoys some Kpop but is much more of a Jpop guy. Clark pretends to hate Kpop but actually loves it, mainly Ateez (he loves the lore)

Doug is scarily good at Super Smash Bros. He can use any character and absolutely dominate

Aaron is actually kind of a nerd, and is friends with Tom on xbox. He also probably had a furry phase.

Garth had a lot of hobbies but it takes up a lot of his time and he ends up leaving little room for sleep. Garth please sleep I’m begging you

Everyone in this band needs therapy

[fics-n-stuff]

Some Random OBX3 Thoughts and Opinions (full spoilers)

This whole season was on crack. It was fucking wild and I loved it

Put me on Poguelandia. That was so sweet. I want to see what that month looked like, I want to experience that with them

I wanted to see more Wheezie :(

I'm sorry but Big John was so annoying, tryna keep the Pogues out of the loop after they've already been through all this shit

Pope and Cleo are super cute, very sweet relationship. The way she's always teasing him? The fact that his parents immediately love her? Immaculate

What they did with Ward this season was... interesting. I will say though, I'm okay with that being the way he goes out. I'm glad he's actually dead now

Rafe × Barry is alive and well

Topper interlude:

Topper really should have got a clue. Sarah moved on babes, you should move on too

I really thought we were on our way to a Topper redemption arc when he helped them with the train robbery - and I was super happy with that - BUT OH BOY WAS I WRONG

Topper deserved to get his shit rocked by John B. His little snarky comments are absolutely a punchable offence

Everyone was freaking out about John B punching Topper while he was down and I think everyone forgot that Topper literally tried to DROWN JOHN B in season 1

HE BURNED DOWN THE CHATEU!?!? HE WAS PISSED AT SARAH SO HE DECIDED TO ATTEMPT TO MURDER SIX PEOPLE!?!? THAT'S NOT JUST PETTY THAT'S PSHYCHOPATHIC

On the other hand, Sarah should have really just let that boy have some peace and stop stringing him along. Like, I get it it was for the greater good and maybe it was their only option but it was still a bit mean (not that I cared much after Topper attempted to commit SEXTUPLE MURDER BY ARSON)

Sarah was so wrong for kissing Topper. You get in one fight with your boyfriend and you run back to your ex? After everything you've gone through? Weak

When Rafe melted down the cross I died a little inside bro that was so upsetting

SOMEONE GET RAFE SOME THERAPY JESUS CHRIST

Jiara. Was. Great. The looks, the hugs, the lingering moments, the slow build up to the final payoff. Loved it

Jiara's first kiss! Idk if this is controversial but I loved that they had an audience cheering when they kissed, it felt like a little inside joke with the fandom. Like a little "wink wink nudge nudge, we know this is how you at home are feeling rn"

Bit harsh that John B got his dad back just for him to actually die, but at least he got to say goodbye this time

18 month time skip? What happened in that time? What did they do with the gold and how did they get everyone to believe their stories? What happend with the charges Topper filed against John B? How did Rafe react to Ward's death? What about Rose and Wheezie, what did they do? The Pogues are still minors (before the time skip at least) and like half of them don't have legal guardians, I know they're rich now but how did they sort that out?

HOW DARE MIKE AND ANNA SIT IN THE FRONT ROW SMILING AND CLAPPING AS IF THEY DIDN'T TRY TO STOP KIARA FROM ACHIEVING THIS EVERY SINGLE STEP OF THE WAY AND SHIT ON ALL OF HER FRIENDS IN THE PROCESS

ARE WE SERIOUSLY ENDING WITH A BLACKBEARD NAMEDROP?? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!? When I say I sat in silence and laughed for a full two minutes after that ending, omg

[if-you-like-pina-colada-s]

YO HEY ✨AGAIN✨ BROSKI CAN U SHARE WHO UR HETALIA KINS ARE AND WHY U KIN THEM? I'LL EXPLAIN WHO MINE ARE AND WHY I KIN THEM IN RETURN

ANSKXLKSNSNC HI BESTIE!! YESS ABSOLUTELY!!!

Ok ok, I have 3 Hetalia kins, so:

First we have the one and only Mr. United States of America. Honestly the main reason I kin him, I think, is because I AM American and I swear everytime he does something so painfully American I'm like "damn, lowkey I would've done that too" (my favorite foods are hamburgers I mean cmon). Now I wouldn't say I'm as boisterous as him but I am overly friendly and I love making new friends so I am pretty extroverted! I think we'd have a lot of fun together in real life, we'd share the same level of enthusiasm about the things we like. We'd ramble on and on about things like science and movies and where the best place to get good artisan burgers is at.

Next, we have Mr. Italy (North Italy to be specific). He is very creative and artsy, and so am I!! I adored that part in season 7 where he tried to explain how to make art to England and failed miserably. That's me. He's very bubbly and happy-go-lucky just like me. I bet my ass he's the art kid who gets asked to "draw me next!" To which he just rolls his eyes in response. I also think he's incredibly unhinged and would say the most fucked up shit at random moments and then finish his sentence as if that's completely normal.

Last but not least, Mr. China!! Yall should know, I am a big sister and also the oldest grandchild in the family. So I very much feel like I share the same "eldest sibling" energy with him. He's the responsible older bro who tries to look out for his younger siblings, but isn't exactly the... best sibling all the time. Not exactly parent material, he's just quite literally older brother material. Also, even though he carries a mature, responsible manner, he's still incredibly unhinged at times. He's one of the few characters with actual braincells but he'd still be totally down to commit arson! Its also said he's a huge fan of cute stuff (such as Hello Kitty) and me too!

And of course there's the things the three of 'em have in common:

I feel like all three of them are just silly goofy guys who laugh and joke about the most fucked up shit ever. They're just ever so slightly unhinged.

I also think they're very booksmart, but can't read the room for shit like me.

They're all quite egotistical, while also extremely insecure.

Not to dump my insecurities on yall but... lowkey I suspect these guys have like, MAJOR abandonment issues. They tend to keep their friends and family in a sort of choke hold. It doesn't look like they particularly enjoy being alone or left out. And REALLY take issue with people leaving them.

Again... not to dump things on yall... but they seem a little... idk, maybe a bit adhd to me? Maybe I'm just projecting onto them since I suspect this of myself. (I'm no expert and have never been diagnosed for any sort of neurodivergency. So this is all a "hmm I wonder?" sort of a speculation).

Anyway, they're just so silly goofy.

Rating The Hollow Ships Because I’m Bored II (Obscure Edition)

I am back to discuss more ships for The Hollow, this time the more obscure ones! For those who haven’t read the previous list, just click this line of text to get yourself caught up!

And of course, blah blah blah, these are just my opinions, I’m not making this to diss anyone, I think It’d make for an interesting discussion, etc.

With that out of the way, let’s get started!

Mira x Kai/Kaira:

Ok, so when I first thought of this ship? I didn’t really like the image in my head. Now that I really think about it, I could see this being cute! I think what turned me away to it at first was that Mira acts a lot like a mother/sister figure to Kai, but then I realized that Kai is a walking disaster with mommy and daddy issues. Call the dude a good boy and he’ll be on his knees begging for a hug and a kiss on the forehead goodnight (basically, Mira would be Kai’s type, probably)

Mira has good emotional intuition, so she’d be able to tell when Kai is upset and give him support. Also Kai would be able to make Mira laugh, and really the girl needs that, she’s been through a lot.

Overall: 6.5/10

Kai x Skeet/Skeekai:

There is approximately one brain cell shared between these two. Skeet holds it most of the time. I think this ship is really adorable; they would get into the craziest shit and then they’d kiss afterwards. Definitely friends to lovers without the slow-burn; it just kind of happens.

They’re probably so casual with each other that a lot of people who first meet them don’t even know they’re dating, and honestly? I’m a sucker for ambiguously gay duos-

Overall: 7/10

Skeet x Vanessa/Skeenessa:

Working wife x house husband vibes. They’re just...really chill? Nothing really stands out about their relationship to be honest, they just’‘‘‘vibe.

Skeet would cheer at the sidelines though while his girlfriend commits arson. There is that aspect.

Overall: 7/10

Skeet x Adam/Skeedam:

Now THIS pairing is a true rare-pair if I have ever seen one. I don’t even know if anyone has actually thought of this before, but let me tell you, it’s hard. Adam and Skeet hardly interact throughout the show, and when they do interact it’s usually Adam trying to keep Skeet from committing self-delete, or it’s filled with tension when they’re discussing their situation and of Adam’s issues with Reeve. I genuinely cannot find the vibe, folks. (If any Skeedam shippers are out there, please point me to the direction of the vibe)

But I can at least think of Adam and Skeet’s personalities individually and come up with assumptions. They’d probably be a really, really chill couple. Skeet would reign Adam in when he’s being overbearing, and Adam would encourage Skeet to get off his butt during their more lazy bouts. Probably call each other “bro” and “amigo” even after they start dating. Another ambiguously gay duo.

Overall: WHERE’S THE LAMB SAUCE?!/10

Reeve x Skeet/Skeeve:

Bros. They are bros and they are holding hands. They play COD together and then they make out. Won’t stop making yo mama jokes. Unlike some of the other ships I’ve mention so far, these two aren’t casual and you will probably find out they’re dating within the first few minutes because they keep flirting, and I don’t mean in the wholesome way either. They can actually be wholesome though, they cuddle like, a lot in private.

Heteronormativity is dead because of these two. They killed it themselves.

Overall: 8/10

Reeve x Vanessa/Reenessa:

This ship has “two queer people in a straight-passing relationship.” Vibes. Vanessa is a Material Gworl and you bet Reeve buys her whatever she wants. The two have coffee dates and judge the other people in the room. They have “don’t fuck with us” energy. “We will beat you to death” energy.

I would be scared to come up to them because both would work together to beat my ass if I accidentally insulted either of them. Amazing. I love it.

Overall: 8/10

Reeve x Mira/Mireeve:

I...don’t know about this one, honestly? I just don’t know if Reeve and Mira would really work together. Like, even if Adam for example hadn’t been confirmed as gay, I wouldn’t have been rooting for Mira and Adam to get together because of the whole Adam Vs Reeve fiasco, along with Adam tending to be overbearing. It’s the same feeling here. Mira needs a break from reigning her two friends in, and if she were to date Reeve she’d have to be even more involved (because don’t lie to me and say Adam and Reeve’s issues are magically fixed) and just...my queen deserves better!

I don’t know, maybe it’s also because Mira and Reeve don’t have a lot of shipping material in the canon show to work with (Once again, where is the lamb sauce?!). I can kind of see it I guess, but ultimately this ship just isn’t for me. No shade to those who ship Mireeve though! In fact, Mireeve shippers, direct me to the vibe. I wanna understand, really.

Overall: 4.5/10

Adam x Kai x Mira/Kaimiradam:

Obviously first and foremost, this would be a Vee polyamorous relationship. Kai is dating both Adam and Mira, and Adam and Mira are good friends. This is REALLY cute to me, I just really like the idea of shy bisexual disaster getting spoiled by his boyfriend and girlfriend.

The Idea of Kai being able to say with confidence that he “gets bitches” while Adam and Mira cling onto him from either side is also really fucking funny. Hahah the nerdy social outcast has two lovers and you don’t, get rekt.

Overall: 7/10

Reeve x Skeet x Vanessa/Skeenesseeve

Just a trio of friends being pals, buddies being chums. They have lots of fun, all the time. Saturday night is for the babes.

Also Skeet and Reeve treat Vanessa like a queen, and I mean, she is one. Overall just, this slaps.

Overall: 7/10

Reeve x Kai x Vanessa/Reekainessa:

You know in my last post that I said that I would ship Vanessa and Kai only under specific circumstances? Well, this is one of them. This poly ship is like Kaimiradam but it can be a full on triad, and also instead of the bisexual disaster getting spoiled by his boyfriend and girlfriend, he’s getting pinned against the wall and dominated. Vanessa and Reeve would tease the fuck out of Kai (although I bet they also spoil him too) and god, I love that. Also Reeve and Vanessa are a power couple by themselves so just, yeah, amazing, beautiful.

Their dynamic reminds me a lot of if there were two Jesses and one James in the pokemon anime. No I will not elaborate further.

Overall: 8.5/10

I will end this post here. I hope you enjoyed my thoughts! I mean, let’s be real, you didn’t, but regardless you have heard them. I hope you can rest easy on that.

[poly-mechanisms]

Ahem. have everything I wrote in my notes app while watching the 2011 movie I Am Number Four based off of the hit book by Pittacus Lore

putting it under a cut because it’s a lot

They’re sophomores, not seniors.

Sam was on the hayride WITH THEM and he was kidnapped too

The lockers were filled with horse manure, not that weird pink shit

Sam’s last name is Goode, not Spellman (why the fuck did they change that??)

Sam’s dad didn’t work at a steel farm, nor did he have a secret hideout that Henri was aware of

Six has black hair, not blonde (at least until the second book)

Six also didn’t commit arson (although at least we got a cool scene from it)

That’s not how Sam confronted him about his Legacies

Also John didn’t have Sam’s number, only Sarah and Henri’s

John never would’ve done that to Sam, also Sam pulled a gun on him in the book keep that next time Sam’s a fucking badass

Sam thought John was joking when he said he was an alien at first

BORDER OF MEXICO??? He disappeared at a fuckin grocery store

Sam doesn’t have a stepdad

BK came with a nametag John didn’t name him

Mark’s dad isn’t a cop

He figured out his telekinesis by accidentally exploding Sarah’s camera

IT WAS AN ARTICLE ON THE MOGS NOT A VIDEO OF JOHN FUCKING HELL

Henri hasn’t even attempted to train John even though he has his first Legacy

Henri and John don’t fight Henri just kinda gives in ig

They find They Walk Among Us through SAM not on some random website

Also Sam’s a much bigger alien believer in the books

Six doesn’t have a motorcycle, nor does she have neck tattoos

This whole thing happened on Thanksgiving

THEY NEVER OPENED THE FUCKING CHEST

Sam can’t actually drive that was kinda the whole point of that scene

Also movie Paradise definitely has a bigger population than 5,425

Setrakus Ra also didn’t show up until like early third book/late second book he def wasn’t there in the beginning

They’re in like a small city in the books not the middle of the woods

Mogs don’t look like that, and they got rid of Setrakus’s purple neck scar thing

This isn’t necessarily a bad thing BUT YEAHHH HENRI FIGHTING GO BADASS

John can’t control tech it even clarifies in the second/third book that their telekinesis doesn’t work on electronics

AYO HENRI DOESNT DIE YET ALSO DID THEY GET RID OF THE ENTIRE HOUSE FIRE??

Also he told them about Sam’s dad helping them in a letter

Ayo only Mogs disintegrate Six burned Henri’s body so that John could have his ashes

Oh yeah They Walk Among Us was also a magazine not a website

AYO I DIDNT NEED TO SEE THAT FUCKING HELL THATS DISGUSTING

The cops didn’t figure him out?? Hello??

Oh ok they didn’t get rid of the house fire thank fuck

Sarah didn’t figure it out until John saved her from the fire my fucking god

HE WASNT CALLED A TERRORIST UNTIL THE FIGHT AT THE SCHOOL IM GOING TO KILL SOMEONE

Damn someone really should’ve taught Andrew’s Spidey that trick

THEY REALLY HAD THE AUDACITY TO GET RID OF THE HOUSE FIRE FUCKIN HELL BRO

ALSO THE MOGS NEVER ATTACKED MARK OR HIS DAD

I can’t get over the fact that the actor for Mark is the same person that played Luke in the Percy Jackson movies he really has a knack for being in the worst book to movie adaptations

Ok at least we get the school fight I would’ve murdered someone if they got rid of that

Yet again, the Mogs didn’t bring Mark to the fight I don’t remember how he got there but he just kinda showed up

YEAHHHH SIX BEING A BADASS LETS GOOO

that’s not how her invisibility Legacy works also she can’t walk on walls that’s Nine’s Legacy

Six sounds kinda British what is that accent

“Stay tuned” Six is my favorite character although BK is a very close second because Chimæra :)

Pffffft Sam is so awkward around Six it’s adorable

Why the Piken look like that it ugly as shit

YEAH BK COMING IN CLUTCH GOOD BOY

Bro what was that supposed to be if that was supposed to be John’s healing Legacy he doesn’t get that till the end of the third book

I can’t get over the CGI it looks really bad although it is from 2011 so I can’t judge ig

Awwwww puppyy

Please tell me Six still has her element control Legacy that was like her coolest one

JOHN LOOK BEHIND YOU YOU FUCKING IDIOT

Still don’t get why the Mogs look like that also still mad they got rid of Setrakus Ra’s only defining feature

Oh shit was that not Setrakus Ra have I been wrong the entire time or did they just not read all the books?

AWH COME ON DID THEY REALLY GET RID OF HER ELEMENT CONTROLLING LEGACY

What was that???

Ew Mark why’re you here you didn’t even get a redemption arc leaveeee

Bruh no that’s not how Sam coming with them happened it was Six’s idea not John’s

Why are they at a graveyard? Not like they have Henri’s body to bury since he FUCKING DISINTEGRATED

Ewwwwwwwww stop making outtt

Awwwww Bernie Kosar hi buddy

[organic-guacamole]

episode 210 here we go

awww seb doing the intro

congratulations to milky white and her baby chocolate milk😌

seb is so funny

but seriously, clean up that milk fast or else it will smell so bad in there....

was that Lauryn just randomly doing cartwheels? idk any theatre kids irl but that seems like it's a common thing...

is it just me or has ms Jenn been getting more harsh to Ricky and Seb mainly-

like what did they do to her

no because I actually snorted with laughter at the "you came back" WHAT IS THAT VOICE-

AND THE MASK OMG

yeah so my throat hurts now

I'm dying over here

KOURTNEY'S FACE

SAME GIRL SAME

Ricky's fake death got the whole place in tears /s

he looks like an asthmatic walrus

Seb's on piano, I love

we all know if he was the beast we'd all actually be crying✋

ok but I listen to Julia's version of home on Spotify when I want to cry-

right so gimme a second

is Ricky scratching his face.....while he's dying?

"belle i-" *flop*

round of applause to Ashlyn for trying to make Ricky's earthworm seizure look less.... yknow

Kourtney's just dying there

WAIT IS THAT NATALIE

did she really just disappear for 9 episodes just to come back and stare dramatically into the camera

WAIT SCRATCH THAT SHES HERE TO MURDER ASHLYN AND RICKY

oh so Ricky's wearing a gay shirt now too

so that's the real reason why Rini broke up, see y'all next season when Gini and caswen become canon /j

wait that was a long intro scene-

what was that look Carlos-

TALK TO MY BOY OR ELSE

carlos' run is so funny to me

therapist Ashlyn to the rescue

"that is...super" son you good?

ms Jenn call Benjamin, he would willingly put his loved ones on a rocket and blast them into Venus for you....

maybe

"I don't want you kids to be disappointed" girl you do realise you're the one that's most invested in this?

"a smooth opening night" wasn't there just 1 show though-

like their opening night was closing night too

"I think I was Troy at one point" PLEASE THATS THE MOST ACCURATE DESCRIPTION OF THE SEASON 1 FINALE

me Jenn looks like a serial killer during that clap and I'm lowkey scared for zacky

"I have notes"

oo if you're taking suggestions, lemme get my list

"mother is freaking out" uhhhhhh

right....'mother"

"is everyone sitting down?"

*looks around awkwardly*

*big red slowly sits*

"no..."

please seb was the only one sitting-

does that mean Carlos looked at Seb as soon as he walked in and assumed that everyone else was sitting too or am I a seblos clown🤡

"is this about the transformation"

WOW MAYBE OT IS RICKY

WOW HES A DETECTIVE FOR FIGURING THAT OUT SO QUICK🤩

YO WHY IS NATALIE HERE-

she just shows up when it's convenient? is she gonna be at the sleepover too?

Seb's heavy swallow after Carlos shouts at him makes me so sad

"I never learned how to lie but I figure if I keep my mouth closed, I can't tell the truth" *nods and smiles at Nini when she asks*

why are they casually standing up all over the pizza shop, just sit at a big table and talk instead of blocking passageways and blocking off at least 6 tables-

"how about I invite myself" WHY DO PEOPLE ALWAYS FEEL THE NEED TO INVITE THEMSELVES TO ASHLYN'S HOUSE-

YOU CAN ASK BUT JUST FORCE YOUR WAY IN?

so Cash Caswell has a bigger house than... Dennis Caswell.... who would've thought

ah yes there's the good old EJ 1.0

Nini: "boys vs girls"

Gina: *looks devastated and glances longingly at EJ*

way to be inconspicuous

"but north high should be" *cracks her knuckles in the most uncomfortable way*

good for Ashlyn for getting more confident though

oo bossy big red

"i get bossy around the power tools"

is that why Ashlyn was holding up the drill in episode 8 orrrr 🤠

oh

Lily, leave him alone please

she's literally not blinking, is that what makes her creepy?

the diss at big red and his face afterwards is priceless

isn't that similar to what Gina's mom said to her in season 1? hmmmm

but seriously please don't try to redeem lily, let us have a character to hate, or to love because they're evil.

not everyone's a good guy.

"im not liked here and I don't know what to do"

let antoine finish his salad and it'll fix everything

"hug emoji" *gags*

y'all realize Lily's literally 14?

why is she calling a 16/17 year old from another school for personal advice-

"he gets weird around tools"

I shouldn't be laughing so hard

"deja vu maybe?" awkward silence

I'm dying here I love EJ so so so so much

"where's seb"

*cuts to seb being held hostage hoping that they'd notice he's missing and go look for him*

"don't ask"

"oh ok"

"100% real faux fur" as you should queen

sponsored by target

Kourtney is singlehandedly saving the entire show.

Seb making finger guns make me happier than it should

why is this kinda making me want to have a co-ed sleepover with my non-existent theatre friends

YES YOU DO NEED TO TALK/SING TO SEB CARLOS THANK YOU FOR KNOWING THAT

wait what-

you haven't talked to him all WEEK-

Carlos are you stupid /hj

Benjamin is so adorable I can't

he turned around to come back for her instead of going home. you're "what do you want Jenn🙄X act isn't fooling anyone Benjamin 🙃

10101

1+4+16= 21st?

they placed 21st?

or do I just not remember how to convert to base ten

GIRL DON'T BE RUDE TO HIM, HE'S GONNA SAVE YALL

no ms Jenn, the kids are not eccentric 35 year olds.

aww sebby

is he thinking that Carlos is only with him cuz he's the only other openly gay guy at school-

son you are a perfect little bean don't put yourself down

yes they all ship portwell as they should.

they'll be throwing risotto at the wedding.

not the chocolates. stop there are no chocolates. please stop I'm dying.

Gina you don't have to explain yourself to her

it was a misunderstanding and it's in the past

why is Ashlyn still laughing-

exactly it wasn't a big deal please just move on Nini

Kourtney really be out here saving everything

WHY IS ASHLYN STILL LAUGHING

why do I feel like when Gina finally told Ash about it, she didn't think it was that funny but wanted to feel included in the inside joke so now she brings it up randomly to show that she's in on it....I totally don't do that...

"idk, the farmer type" oh son...

Ashlyn and big red are just spilling the secrets back and forth huh?

OOO EJ AND GINA SITTING IN A TREE K-I-S-S-I-

cmon guys don't look at me like that-

"she is the best" and "we're buddies" don't sound right together

"pretty boy" "sweet boy" best ways to describe EJ

I love him.

and aw he's scared of rejection so he'll hold back just to keep her happy and not awkward how sweet

is Ricky wondering if letting her go(literally his song from last episode) was the best thing he did for Nini because he doesn't feel like it now? hmmm this is getting good

why is everyone so invested in Kourtney and Howie's relationship

PACK UP THE LAZY RICKY THING

oh yes Benji, that's exactly what she's doing

she couldn't follow her dream or whatever so now she's using the kids to gain some of the success she craves. why else would she have that massive hsm poster with her name on it in huge letters in her office.

just casually grab his hand with both your hands and stare at him creepily 🥰

ship jennzzara y'all

the first bump was a missed opportunity to do the baymax "falalala" as a reference to the fact that they watched big hero six while committing arson✋

wait so big red and EJ just left Ricky in the basement and now Ricky invited Carlos when they're supposed to be at the stage?

help no Ricky looks like he's about to tell Carlos he likes him (I know it's about writing the song for seb but still, look at his body language and tell me it doesn't look like that)

Ricky is so mature about this, he really just wants Nini to be happy even though he's hurting-

baby you deserve love, maybe Nini isn't the one for you but don't say you don't deserve it

why does he keep adding bro to the end like he doesn't know how to address Carlos

PLEASE CARLOS HAVING TO ADDRESS THE BRO THING

"let's write a song when we have like 45 minutes to get to the place and help our friends possibly win $50000 at the show in 2 weeks"

"can you hit a high C?"

"that's like the bottom of my range"

why am I laughing

this is so cool to see friendship interactions that we don't normally get to see

Nini why are you being like this-

Gina did nothing wrong??

I saw that, EJ and Gina being the only ones going in the same direction👀

right so obviously Kourtney's waiting until after the menkies to get back with Howie just in case he really is just using her as a way in to east high... obviously... right?

CARLOS

OK ITS COMING GET READY YALL

Why is portwell so awkward all of a sudden

OMG EJ

OMG GINA SAY YES or not, do what you want.

the way she doubts that EJ would genuinely ask so she has to make sure it's not Ashlyn behind it

OH

THE "NOT THAT I KNOW OF"

LIKE WHAT GINA SAID TO JACK ABOUT EJ BEING HER BOYFRIEND

GUYS THEY'RE SOULMATES

I want risotto now please

THEY'RE SO SWEET AND ADORABLY AWKWARD ITS LIKEEK LITTLE KIDS

OOOOOOO what is this place that seblos is in, looks fancy....and secluded

oh wait no Ricky's just standing there

wait is it the bomb shelter

it looks so good what

@youranxiousnerd ARE YOU OK?

CUZ IM NOT OK

LOOK AT SEBBY'S FACE

LOOK AT HOW ADORABLE IT IS

THE LYRICS ARE KILLING ME

SEBLOS IS KILLING ME

I AM DEAD

PLEASE SEND HELP

I like to imagine that Frankie and Joe practiced this in their apartment and just had a blast with it.

or maybe that Frankie practiced in secret like what Joe did for the climb

OH THE SUITS

THATS WHERE THAT CLIP IN THE PROMO WAS FROM

AWWW SEBBY'S SO CUTE

HE'S A LITTLE MARSHMALLOW

they're still so awkward with the dance I cant

let's appreciate Frankie's voice though

this episode really was made just for the seblos and portwell stans and you gotta love it

BIG RED GET OUT

hobbies: I like drawing sometimes singing and dancing (just NOT in front of people) I also like doing origami from time to time I also try to improve my handwriting ig cause it sucks and it looks like a 3rd graders doing puzzles trying to solve my old mirror cube I like playing games

Pet Peeves: Honestly I'm ok with any pet as long as I can take care of it

take your time and pls don't rush always hydrate and sleep well

Hi Alex! Thanks for your submission! :)

Bro you did not use a single period in this entire ask. For that I deem you to be a good candidate for Kalim. I just think you match his boundless energy. Y'all are in dance club for the same reasons that parents put their ADHD kids in karate and gymnastics. Go go go go gog goggogogo. Both of you guys also like chatting, especially Kalim. Expect many magic carpet rides where your ear gets talked off about anything and everything.

I also think your patience is necessary in your friendship with Floyd. And your tendency to be the parent friend. Y'all are a chaotic force to be reckoned with. You need to act as his functioning brain cell and rein him in when his impulsiveness gets gets out of control. So long as you maintain control, he's a total riot to be around. I headcannon that Floyd lurks around the school library looking for victims to enact his whims upon. So just come along with him one day to get that library experience you wanted. Except it's the Floyd Library Experience which is completely different from the actual Library Experience. Racing each other on the sliding shelf ladders, shooting people with hornets from behind the shelves, crawling under the tables and tying unsuspecting student's shoe laces together. It's a miracle you don't get banned from the library after that. (Floyd already has been. 4 times. They have his face hanging on a poster by the circulation desk. It works exactly as well as you think it would.)

[quarktrinity]

so some thoughts about rich goranski:

we know that its possible to at least partially disobey the squip, as seen from jeremys interaction with brooke at the beginning of act 2 ("its... original. /sees that brooke is sad/ i mean- amazing!") which would mean that even though rich isnt bullying kids on his own terms, he can still reject those instructions if he really wants to, so hes willingly going along with this whole bullying=popularity thing. he chooses to go along with it because he knows that it makes people like him. (regardless, bullying is bad and he still needs to make up for that post-squip)

even if he is completely out of control of his own actions, "i only treat you like human garbage because my squip tells me to" is kind of a weak excuse, and imagine if you were jeremy in that situation. youd be like "uh ok asshole"

and we actually know for a fact that he has some level of autonomy, because he was able to get drunk at the halloween party, even though his squip would 100% prohibit that.

AND SPEAKING OF THE HALLOWEEN PARTY, LETS ADDRESS THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM:

rich got instructions to squip the whole school. he first reacted to this by getting drunk and running around asking for mountain dew red. when that didnt work, he tried to KILL HIMSELF BY BURNING DOWN JAKES HOUSE.

like i get he was drunk but MR GORANSKI THATS KIND OF A DICK MOVE

like thats jakes HOUSE. his HOUSE. his. fucking. HOUSE.

there were SO MANY METHODS HE COULDVE CHOSEN for his suicide mission but NOPE time to commit arson

speaking of that, jakes house was FULL OF DRUNK TEENAGERS. hes lucky no one DIED.

rich burning down jakes house, plotwise, is an EXCELLENT CHOICE that gives a wide perspective of the stakes at play at this point in the story, but in universe, what a fucking prick???

this is his very first decision made once free of the squips influence and that decision is to BURN DOWN HIS BEST FRIENDS HOUSE. seriously like HOLY SHIT DUDE CALM DOWN

its amazing to me that the fandom babys him so much because hes in serious need of a good punch in the face and a therapist.

of all the horrible choices made at that party (chloe assaulting jeremy, jeremy snapping at michael, jeremy asking christine out, jake and chloe fucking moments after christine dumped jake, etc etc etc) the ABSOLUTE WORST was richs (perfectly self-made, no squip influence, in fact it was directly opposed to this) executive decision to burn down jakes house in a suicide attempt

(and it didnt even work)

and yet, the fandom chooses to water him down to a miserable sad infant while demonizing jenna for daring to discuss a likely traumatic event for everyone who went to the party. like seriously do you expect her NOT to talk about that? "oh rich burned down jakes house and almost killed a bunch of us but lets be considerate of HIS feelings by not talking about it" have you MET a teenager??? thats not gonna happen!!!

yes rich is an abuse victim from both his squip and his father (not explicitly said but heavily implied) and thats sad. it sucks. but bro he burned down a guys house.

just. stop babying him please. have him face the consequences of his actions. have him apologize, and then apologize again, and again, and again. have him prove himself to his friends who he almost killed.

at the very least stop pretending he did nothing wrong because he did A LOT wrong and has a lot of apologies to make.

oh and if youre gonna defend him to your last breath at least accept that defending him and not chloe or jenna is blatantly sexist. chloe and rich are about equal in terms of apologies needed to be made. and jennas just a gossip, get over it. oh and ive seen rich stans actually say that christine is a bad person but not rich so dont try to tell me theres no misogyny at play here

tldr: rich actually sucks and needs major therapy so stop babying him and just say you hate women

[kashuan]

Do you think Clytemnestra was justified in killing Agamemnon?

I’ve been asked this a few times and I feel like it’s a difficult question to answer, to say the least. There are a lot of ways you could, such as:1) It’s irrelevant to try and answer because it’s not the point of this series of stories. We’re shown how eye for an eye justice completely FAILS in this house (Atreus gets revenge on Thyestes, Thyestes gets revenge on Atreus, Aegisthus gets revenge on Agamemnon, Orestes gets revenge on Aegisthus, Orestes is doomed to be Goddamn Miserable– there is never a ‘good end’ after anyone’s revenge) and though Clytemnestra’s intention may have been to end this very cycle of violence that plagues this house through killing Agamemnon, that obviously didn’t work. So from an overall plot/moral of the story standpoint, no? I guess? 2) If not in a overall story sense, is it justified to the reader at least? Dunno, depends how you look at it. Do you take stock in Euripides’ whackass, nonsensical canon (mentioned nowhere else ever) that Agamemnon violently killed Clytemnestra’s first family? Then I guess okay, you can say he had it coming. Given that he had absolutely zero reason to do that, and babies were involved, not sure what reader would miss the scum (see: why there’s no mixed feelings about King ‘I made my nephews into a soup for my bro just for the drama of it all’ Atreus’ murder)However, if we disregard that left-field one liner (as every other text does when talking about Clytemnestra’s reason), then there’s just the murder of Iphigenia to focus on. So then how does the reader interpret Agamemnon’s actions in IoA? Some people seem to come away thinking he just threw her on the altar, cut her throat and was merrily off to Troy on the same day without so much as a second thought spared (These people can not read. Some of them are even published authors. I am deeply sad.) Other readers have said: “I don’t care that he was Conflicted and Sad, he could have just like, Walked Away, you know,” which, as I’ve said in other posts, is a fallacy (there’s plenty of essays to be found on jstor on the subject). If either of these interpretations were correct, then again, I guess? you could feel his murder was justified. Yet I don’t think they are, so…. I won’t get into details here since I’ve written about it before, but his choices were more likely: (kill daughter) or (have an angry mob kill daughter and harm rest of family) or (have an angry god do both A and B and possibly smite the rest of the army as well by association). There never was a Walk Away And Everything’s All Right option. At least, not that his character would have good reason to believe. IoA is a tragedy not because it’s sad that an innocent girl dies to an Evil Man, but because of the utter hopelessness of the situation from all angles. I’ve seen some people who say that Artemis would have just let Agamemnon off the hook if he refused, and it was just a Test all along, but uh, have you read any stories with Artemis/Apollo? Very vindictive gods. The sacrifice was not just to appeal to her for favorable winds, but to apologize for unknowingly killing her sacred deer. He was already locked in to owing her repayment. Can’t just skip out on that. For more on why not to piss off this particular pair, and the bad results which follow if you think their commands can just be ignored, refer to: book 1, the iliadAnyway, getting back to the point, if Agamemnon did in fact have no better choice, if his hand was forced, and the whole catalyst for Clytemnestra’s decision is based on this, does it seem morally justified? I really don’t know. Does she have every reason to hate him all the same, sure. As a mother consumed by her grief, can we understand why she does what she does? Yes! Does his character deserve to get a free pass after the fact that it was likely his own greed in the first place that set off this series of events? Absolutely not.  But I’ve never read his death as being 100% Deserved And Justified, open and shut case, either, for the reason stated above. Final verdict: It’s Complicated.3) Is the reader given indication that it was Justified after the fact? The stories of Electra and Orestes are always what throw me off especially when it comes to how we’re ‘meant’ to interpret Agamemnon’s death. Their lives end up essentially ruined after their father dies, they end up emotionally abused and neglected by the mother. Conversely, both of them are also shown to be unreasonably extreme in some points in their stories, but this also seems author dependent, and, at least for me, never pushes their characters so far to outright be interpreted as The Bad Guys (aight, except for the end of Euripides’ Orestes where Ore just goes absolutely apeshit and decides to commit arson, kidnapping and murder all at once, but…like..Euripides, man. We’ve been over this.) It always has struck an odd chord with me that the character whose whole motive is to avenge her daughter, treats her remaining children so poorly, which leaves me unable to read her as the unproblematic Justified heroine that some others do (spoilers: nearly everyone in this family is heavily flawed, and yet I would still like all of them to live). My point is, I feel like if we, the readers, were supposed to feel Clytemnestra’s choice had been the “right” one, we would either be shown a brighter future after Agamemnon’s death, or at least, Electra and Orestes’ stories likely wouldn’t cast them as such sympathetic characters opposite hers. That isn’t to say these things convey it was the ‘wrong’ choice either, necessarily, but rather that is ambiguous and pinning one of those black and white terms on it is impossible.Having said all that, I want to conclude that this is all obviously based on my own opinion alongside that I’ve put a lot of hours into researching the ins and outs of this particular series of stories. I’m not claiming I’m giving the one correct answer here. Literature can be interpreted many ways, colored by our own preferences and opinions. But I was asked for my own personal take, so there you go :^)

BnHA Chapter 116: Prison Chat

Previously on BnHA: We took a break from the U.A. kids and their provisional license exam antics and got a whole chapter from Twice’s point of view. He has a fucked up backstory which involves him cloning himself and then his clones all battling for dominance and murdering each other, and now it’s just him left and he’s not even sure if he’s the original. We also learned that Endeavor is not exactly winning people over as the new number one hero, and most people are either underwhelmed or openly creeped out by him. Meanwhile, emboldened villains feel increasingly comfortable committing petty crimes in broad daylight and teaming up now that All Might isn’t around. A new group of villains lead by a dude named Overhaul committed some light dismemberment and arson, and it looks like Twice is thinking about recruiting them to the League. Finally, we cut to a max security prison where All Might is apparently meeting with the imprisoned All for One to “settle things” omgggggggg.

Today on BnHA: All Might asks All for One about Tomura and about what he was planning. All for One is predictably unhelpful and says that Tomura is working on his own now. They have an admittedly fascinating discussion about why All for One decided to groom a successor after being injured by All Might. AFO then expertly provokes All Might by speculating about the chaotic state of the outside world with startling and annoying accuracy. He taunts All Might about being frustrated and powerless. All Might says he knows that AFO was planning to have Tomura kill both him and Deku. He says he won’t let that happen, and that no matter how many evil schemes AFO hatches, he will always be there to crush them. Back at the fanfic dorms, the kids of 1-A wind down as they excitedly await the start of the new semester. Bakugou comes up to Deku and tells him to meet him outside later and that “it’s about your quirk.”

(As always, all comments not marked with an ETA are my unspoiled reactions from my first readthrough of this chapter. I’ve read up through chapter 151 now, so any ETAs will reflect that.

**There are spoilers in this recap for chapter 131, which has not yet aired in the anime.** These spoilers are tagged as always, but take heed.)

BAKUGOUUUUUUU

“the noble beast of class 1-A” lol wtf

“Tartarus Greeting” isn’t that like the Greek hell

WE ONLY HAVE THREE MORE CHAPTERS LEFT IN THIS VOLUME FOR THIS BRAT TO GO CONFRONT DEKU ABOUT HIS QUIRK. GET A MOVE ON ALREADY BOY

but of course we’re opening right where we left off first. the prison with All Might and All for One. which I’m also pretty hyped for, so

All for One is complaining about the high level of security in this high security prison

apparently they’re monitoring his vitals, brain waves, etc. at all times, and if you so much as wiggle in your chair the wrong way, all the gun turrets in the place will point at you

still think he could escape in an instant if he wanted to. he probably has a bulletproof quirk. and we know he has a fucking warp quirk. he’s just biding his time

oh, apparently Tartarus is the name of the prison. also the prison is underground. or at least his part of it is underground. cuz it didn’t seem to be underground when we cut to the exterior of the building just a couple of panels ago

is there any wood around, All Might. you should probably knock on some wood. fucking jinxed us all, dude

All for One’s only response is “let’s assume that to be the case.” fffff lol yeah okay

so he’s asking what does All Might want with him, where’s Gran Torino, why did All Might come alone, “what’s with that pitiful costume” -- and okay, with that last one though, so are you actually fucking blind or not. I know he doesn’t have eyes and he’s been using infrared and the like, but his scathing remarks about All Might’s appearance are always so on point and it’s like ???

(ETA: goddammit I wish I could just project this thought into Horikoshi’s mind. like he suddenly wakes up in a cold sweat and is all “THE PLOT HOLE. OMG. I FORGOT” and immediately goes to write one of his infamous bonus page ramblings to correct it. I mean, it’s an easy enough fix. he can make up some bullshit quirk to explain it easily enough. but just. it really bothers me for some reason, like way more than it should. fuck you, All for One)

All Might really fucking hates All for One you guys. not gonna lie, pissed off is a good look for him

now he’s asking where Tomura is

All for One says he doesn’t know. “unlike you, I’ve already let my successor carry on”

now All Might’s asking him what he was trying to do. “what were you after?”

okay but now that the immortality thing has been brought up, it reminds me that I’ve been wondering why would this basically immortal guy suddenly become so obsessed with molding a successor? to the extent where he said that everything he’d been doing was for Tomura’s sake. (although whether or not that’s true is a whole nother story)

All for One says it’s pointless to explain it because All Might would never be able to understand

and now he’s saying that he and All Might are the same. two sides of the same coin type of thing. “in the same way you aspired to be the hero of justice, I yearned to be the king of evil”

when he says “live on eternally”, he’s talking about his legacy living on through Tomura, then? cuz idk, I still don’t buy it

and now All Might is also asking him “if that’s the case, why a successor?”

ah, he says it’s because of the injury All Might inflicted on him

I really love the way the reflection is dividing this image between All Might and All for One’s faces. oh damn

and all right, I guess I can buy this explanation. but I still can’t see Tomura as having those final villain chops though. idk, I wouldn’t be surprised if All for One changes his mind, or manages to acquire a better healing quirk than his current one -- one which actually allows him to restore himself to his former glory -- and then he decides he wanted to carry on with the whole villain thing after all

someone over the speaker is telling All Might he only has three more minutes

and now All for One is like OH SHIT and he’s trying to think of all the other shit he wanted to say to him lol

he’s asking how the world is out there now that All Might’s retired

it’s like Order of the Phoenix, but not quite Half-Blood Prince, fyi

dude on the loudspeakers is warning All Might not to give him any info

All for One says “what a shame”

and now it looks like he’s going to speculate. and probably be bang on target too

did you actually read the previous chapter yourself somehow or what

I wish All Might would stop gritting his teeth and clenching his fist and sweating in this way that just confirms every damn thing that All for One is saying

ffffff he must be so frustrated though. he devoted his entire life to making a peaceful world and to see that all fall apart and to be helpless to do anything about it...

and of course All for One is making the exact same observation. :/ “I believe you will spend the rest of your life stricken by your powerlessness and inability to do anything”

fucking hell, can’t we just have one of these turrets suddenly tragically “malfunction” and end this dude already. someone please tell me why we’re keeping him alive. clearly he’s no good for information

he’s asking All Might how it feels

All Might, the best thing you could do right now would be to just stand up and walk out of the room. you’re not getting anything else out of him and right now he’s getting under your skin, and seeing you hurting over this is giving this fucker exactly what he wants

the loudspeaker voice is also telling All Might to back away

I feel like he’s talking to me more than to All Might. about the “no hitting” part. yes that is indeed a shame

ooh, All Might’s gonna fire something back at him! GO TOSHI GO

he’s telling him not to presume that he knows everything. and he says he understands All for One’s thinking very well

oh shit

okay so like. I really like when older mentor type characters mention their proteges like this and they’re like “that boy” or “that child” and it’s like a reminder of how young and vulnerable and inexperienced the protege character is still, and how the mentor character is always looking out for them. like. I just like that. maybe it’s that it makes me feel like I can bond with the mentor character over our mutual protectiveness of the kid

anyway. so All for One isn’t even denying it; he’s just like, “and?”

and All Might is just like

dang. although once again I really wish that there was some wood nearby for you to knock on fffffffffffff

(ETA: ****SPOILER WARNING FOR CHAPTER 131, WHICH HAS NOT YET AIRED IN THE ANIME****

*

*

*

*

*

so not only is All Might saying “fuck you” to All for One here, but he’s also giving the middle finger to fate itself. and I have to admit, it’s incredibly badass, even if it also makes me more worried than ever about him jinxing it. you see, that’s the upside of sticking around to raise your successor, AFO. you get to be inspired by them in some unexpected ways.

also, All Might is very brave and very determined and I love him so much omg.

*

*

*

*

*

****END SPOILERS****)

and now the loudspeaker guy is telling All Might his time is up

All Might says that whatever future AFO is envisioning, All Might will always smash it no matter what, and AFO can spend the rest of his life sitting here and looking on

yeah bro. way to get the last fucking word in

now the doors are closing on All for One, and he’s laughing because of course he is

oh fuck you, dude. this conversation has been amazing but I’m tired of you now lol

now we’re cutting to All Might riding home with his best bro Nao

Nao’s asking how it went and All Might’s like, yeah, it didn’t

!! he’s mentioning that he also talked with Stain?!

(ETA: Mangastream’s translation made it sound like he spoke with him, but Viz and Fallen Angels's versions said that he was making plans to question him but hadn’t actually done so yet. given that this hasn’t come up again yet -- at least not at the point where I’m currently at -- I’m guessing Viz and FA got it right. though I’m still curious as to what they actually want to talk to him about.)

but now he’s getting interrupted by his phone which is buzzing

AHHHHH HE GOT DEKU’S WHOLESOME TEXT

All Might please charge your phone soon

HE EVEN HAS DEKU LISTED IN HIS CONTACTS AS “MIDORIYA-SHOUNEN” LMAO

HIS DAD FACE AT THE END OMG. HE REALLY NEEDED THIS RIGHT NOW

also it completely slipped my mind earlier, but he finally has his arm out of that cast. and apparently the hand is doing pretty well since he’s using it to text. good good

AHHHHH FINALLY WE’RE BACK AT THE U.A. DORMS

the kids are hanging out in the common area. Deku’s wondering if All Might got his text yet. he has this super cute proud little smile on his face

I’m so happy for him

but I won’t pretend I’m not also preoccupied with how Bakugou is doing lol. like, he wasn’t one to hang out with the others much even before this, and now it’s probably going to be even less so, at least until their excitement at having all passed the exam dies down. I expect Shouto will be keeping to himself a little bit more for a while too

gasppppppppppp

[FRANTICALLY CHECKING OWN PULSE BECAUSE I’M PRETTY SURE MY HEART JUST STOPPED]

[kathrynclery]

Honestly, I don’t even play an active role in my life anymore…things happen and I’m like “Oh is this what we’re doing now? Ok.”

First & Last Name: Kathryn Clery Gender/Pronouns: She/her Date of Birth:  July 5th 1982 Place of Birth: Crystal City Current Residence: Willow Creek Occupation: Works at Spin that Record Faceclaim: Shiri Appleby

Mental health tw, mental hospital tw, arson tw

Born in Crystal City Katheryn ‘Kat’ Clery was never someone the world expected much from. She wasn’t stupid but nor was she super smart, the girl just ran average in pretty much every conceivable way. Her grades, her appearance, her personality, everything. Her father used to say she was so bland she gave vanilla ice cream a run for it’s money as the most pointless thing on earth - which was a charming thing to say to your daughter. It really helped with her self esteem which from a young age he managed to keep squished without even really trying. The girl’s mother was a waitress at The Primrose Hotel for as long as Kat could remember, never appearing to aspire to do anything more. In many ways the girl was a chip off the old block because she never aimed particularly high either. When she was seven her mother gave birth to a second baby girl, her younger sister Jessica, which was a surprise to both parents but never the less taken in their stride.

They lived a comfortable if slightly boring life in Willow Creek - her father would occasionally bring home lavish gifts for his wife or daughters that seemed way out of his price range. Little did they know this signalled a considerably lucrative drug deal had gone down allowing him to splash the cash without their usual worries concerning bills. Dana knew that her husband wasn’t faithful, it was the worst kept secret in Crystal City really, but she’d never actually expected the man to cause a set of twins to show up on their doorstep when Jessica was only two years old. She expected him to agree to take them in even less, but he did and the family of four became one of six overnight. Then everything went downhill. The family started to break apart, their father’s drinking got ten times worse and as a knock on effect he became abusive to the rest of his family. It didn’t take Dana long to get sick of it and once she was gone the children were basically left to fend for themselves.

Being the oldest Kathryn had the responsibility of childcare fall on her shoulders and it was one she wasn’t equipped to bare. The girl gave it her best try…for a while a least, but it was no use. The pressure caused her to crack and she was no longer any good to any of her younger siblings. Panic attacks, insomnia, and minor manic episodes occurred for years before she finally up and left completely at the age of seventeen. Heading north she ended up in Vermont for no apparent reason other than needing to get away, she was running from herself so the problem with that was it was impossible. She managed to keep herself afloat financially by doing work here and there, nothing in particular, but it gave her enough spare change to eat and just about keep a roof over her head. Little did she know she had an undiagnosed bipolar disorder that caused depressive and manic episodes she couldn’t control. It was one of the reasons she couldn’t hold down a job, nor any steady relationships with other people. It left the girl isolated and alone which was particularly dangerous when she was having one of her manic episodes. And that was what lead to her most destructive actions that harmed others as well as just herself.

Highly sensitive to violent behaviour it became a trigger for her own most violent outbursts, causing an almost black out state where she would wake up unaware of what she’d been doing in the hours that had lapsed. And this particular time she had gotten herself into such a state she’d convinced herself that in order to protect herself she had to burn down the home of a coworker in the dead of night. No one was hurt, but arson is still a pretty considerable crime. Coming back to herself in a holding cell was nothing short of terrifying to the young woman. The detectives could tell there was clearly something not right about the situation and with the help of a pro bono lawyer who too pity on her fighting her corner until she was deemed unable to stand trial due to mental illness, aka the Dusky standard. She was committed to a mental heath facility back in Crystal Cove where she lived under heavy observation as well as being medicated up to the eyeballs. That was for four years. Maybe it was something she’d picked up through her life, or maybe it was something she’d inherited from her father, but Kat was pretty good at being manipulative when she wanted to be which helped her case in getting released from the hospital into public once more.

Now she was back home living a ‘normal’ life in Crystal Cove, except she was a hot mess and everyone could see it. Often unkept and not exactly particular about her fashion choices she was more likely to be seen with a group of guys than a group of girlfriends. She was ‘one of the bros’ always down for a beer or a game of soccer on the beach. It’s not how she wanted things to be but it was just easier, she fit in with them better, talking handbags and lipstick had never been her thing. It bored her. Still that didn’t mean she wanted to spend her life hanging out with a group of boys without any significant personal connection of her own in her life. A significant other. It just wasn’t easy when you couldn’t even seem to keep your own life from falling apart. Perpetually late, a manipulator, almost constantly on the brink of an emotional relapse some people found hard to deal with. Unsurprisingly. Now working at Spin that Record in New Haven for want of anything else to do the woman is frustrated with herself and where she is in her life, while simultaneously trying to hide her past from those around her and get closer to them on a personal level. An almost impossible fete. She has no idea where any of her family are anymore, not for lack of wanting, but luck has never really been something that stays on Kathryn’s side very much.

Finished Life Is Strange 2 and that damn game punched me in the fuckin GUT! Sperlers. Don’t play if you value your emotional stability and easily obsess over things.

So I went back and had lil bro punch through the fuckin blockade so big bro can live happily ever after. While thematically beautiful and really matched the epic bro speech about being a good person before you make the final decision, fuck the Redemption ending. Fuck the cops! Go to Mexico and hook up with the bae! Sorry, Daniel, but you’re actually the one who committed the crime 😎 House arrest with a sweet ankle bracelet at your grandparent’s sweet pad isn’t as bad as 15 years in the slammer during the prime of your life for a crime you didn’t commit and then getting out a completely broken man. Fuck. That.

Let’s tally up the crimes in my high morality play through. First of all, both kids are minors in all 5 chapters. So jot that down.

Killing the cop in the beginning: Daniel.

Injuring that douche neighbor: admittedly, Sean. But it was an accident and then Daniel p much fucked him up thoroughly afterwards. So who knows? Also, he grabbed Daniel (assault) so Sean was just defending him. Not a crime.

Injuring Hank Stamper (racist douche owner of redneck gas station) and trashing the place: Daniel.

While not technically a crime....Mushroom’s.....uh....final, uh.....scene: Sean. That was all me, bro. My bad for letting the dog out to pee.

Stealing a yo-yo: Sean. LET ME EXPLAIN! I DIDN’T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY FOR ANYTHING AND THE DAMNED GAME WOULD NOT LET ME PROGRESS WITHOUT GETTING DANIEL AN XMAS PRESENT! It was also technically not a crime because....donation box. Wasn’t like someone was selling it, OK??? And the cops never found out about this anyway so HAHHAHAHAHAH. ALSO, Pro tip: don’t lie to dad in the prologue and you get $40 instead of $20....goddammit. ADDENDUM: LYING TO YOUR DAD ABOUT BUYING WEED AND BEER ISN’T A CRIME!

Working on an illegal pot farm: NEWS FLASH! If a fuckin criminal hires minors to work on his pot farm, that’s not the kid’s fault. I refuse to call it a crime.

Stealing pot owner man’s thug boy’s car to go rob the owner of the pot farm: ummmm, that guy tried to beat up a 9 year old and punched Sean in the face instead for no fuckin reason. So...whatever. Probably wouldn’t have kept it. Just needed a ride...for robbery. Chill.

Attempted robbery of said criminal pot farm owner: guy told his goon to beat up a 9 year old so....fuck that guy. Also, is robbing a criminal a crime? No, I refuse to take responsibility for that xD It was Finn’s idea!!

Injuring pot farm owner assface: Daniel. Oh yeah, his name is Merrill. That was funny.

Injuring Finn and Sean’s fuckin eyeball: Daniel.

“Blowing up” the place: Daniel.

Escaping incarceration at a hospital: WRONGLY ACCUSED! Fuck you, I’m going to find lil bro and you can’t stop me. Sean.

Stealing a car at a hospital: Sean. The game wouldn’t let me not steal. Whatever.

Assaulting a cult leader: Sean. OK FIRST OF ALL, that bitch faked it. Sean shoved her away because ho-bag was all up in his face touchin MOI and SHE crashed to the ground to manipulate lil bro into thinking Sean pushed her down HARDDDDD.  Lies! “What the fuck?” Indeed. What the fuck?

Arson: Karen.

Arson....of a church: Daniel! HE KNOCKED THE CANDLE OVER! FUCK THIS GAME! SEAN DIDN’T DO SHIT! HE GOT THE FUCK BEATEN OUT OF HIM BY A MAN WITH A GUN! 

Damaging the border wall: technically Daniel, but encouraged by Sean. Man, FUCK YOUR WALL! Fuck that wall. Goddammit, is that a felony? Shit. BOTH KIDS STILL MINORS, MIND YOU!

Injuring cops (and CBP?....good): Daniel.

Escaping custody at border: Wouldn’t have been able to without DANIEL!

And don’t forget this “crime” in America - being a person of color: Sean and Daniel.

SO! They’re both minors, but they give Sean FIFTEEN FUCKIN YEARS????? He is still 17 at the time he surrenders, I think. If Daniel fucks up the blockade he gets house arrest for at least 6 years...which is really fuckin weird. Maybe it’s because they saw that he has telekinesis? OK BUT THEN THEY WOULD NOT LET HIM GO LIVE WITH HIS GRANDPARENTS WTF!!??!! Anyway, fuck the Redemption ending. Sean didn’t do nothin to deserve 15 years in PRISON. Can you imagine being locked up from the time you were 17 to the time you were 32?!!? Jesus CHRIST! At max, Sean could get like ...how much time you get for fuckin up the border wall? That’s like honestly the worst he did. Ehhhh and they probably thought he used a bomb. EVIDENCE SPEAKS FOR ITSELF! No explosives there, buddy boy boy boy! Just telekinesis! Also, stealing the car. Ok, so at max, a minor should get like 3 maybe 5 years for that WITH PAROLE and probation. Come ONNNNn!! No justice in this goddamn country anyway, so fuck this and go to Mexico! And how the hell is anyone supposed to explain Sean’s innocence? How could you prove that? There can literally be no justice. Make Daniel take one for the team for ONCE! I get it I get it, he’s 9-10 with unfathomable powers that no one could possibly responsibly handle anyway. Poor kid. BUT UMMMM POOR SEAN TOO!!!! I’m rambling. So many feelings.

[darby-draws-archive]

I got a bunch of q's for them siblings, Lauren Mark and Nathan!! 5-7, 10, 12, 17, 19, 27, 30 and 31!

Thank you for asking so many questions for these good siblings!! And for being so patient! :,) I feel like I could’ve gotten more into specific scenarios with some of these but I didn’t quite know where to start or which question would have the better examples. But I’m sure you’ll enjoy anyway, I’ve definitely got enough info down for sure! Under the cut for obvious rambling reasons.

5. What traits does each person find endearing in the other?

Mark: Lauren’s ridiculously confident in herself and Nate’s always really passionate and excited about what he does.Lauren: Nathan tries to be friends with everybody and Mark has always had my back. Nathan: Mark’s just the right amount of sarcastic to be fun and he takes the band really seriously. Lauren’s secretly a big softie even when she pretends she’s cooler than everyone else.

6. Which traits does each person find annoying in the other?

Mark: They never shut up.Lauren: Oh my god, Mark thinks he knows everything and Nate never shuts up. He’s the bratty baby brother neither of us asked for. (laUREN!) (its true but they still love him)Nate: tHEY’RE BOSSY. And patronizing. And cynical.

7. How often do they see each other? How often do they talk to each other?

Nate and Mark see each other at least once a week, more if there’s lots of band practice or concerts to play or just wanna hang out! They see Lauren a handful of times throughout the year, at holidays and random visits.

Mark talks with Lauren more than Nathan does, kinda on a weekly basis, sometimes more, depends how busy they are or if they’ve got Exciting Gossip. Lauren and Nate probably talk like once after most full moons and a handful of other times,,, Nate wants to hear how the werewolf adventures go.

10. What would they get for each other as birthday gifts?

Mark’s mostly just gives money tbh, sometimes he’ll go halfsies on more expensive gifts but he doesn’t normally Think of the good gifts. He might take them out like to the record store and buy some things they pick out themselves. This is particularly good with Lauren, since it’s also his birthday and he has the excuse to get stuff he wants, too.

Lauren will usually find various music related things, shirts an posters of some bands they like, patches and pins for their Cool Jackets™. Nate likes comic books and movies, Mark would like biographies of musicians or maybe some video game, it varies but she could definitely find some things.

Nate tries to get Lauren makeup and sometimes it works out. He’d probably be better off with a gift card for it but he’s insistent that he knows “the hottest new eyeshadow thingy” and “the trendiest nail polish colors this season”. (he just Says these things, he doesn’t actually know anything) I think Nathan gets Mark a fun vidya game because he knows everyone else is getting him band related stuff,, unless he’s specifically asking for things.

12. Do either of them have any hobbies or interests which annoy the other?

Nottt particularly? I can’t really think of anything, if they don’t share the interest in something they just kinda leave it alone. Maybe if Lauren had to listen to tooo much of their band practice at once it would annoy her, just because her hearing is sensitive and they’re loud bois. She WANTS to enjoy it but what can u do. Mark kinda thinks they’re both way too into the horror genre but he doesn’t mind all that much.

OF COURSE this was different when they were younger and they often teased one another for certain interests,, but they grew out of that. (okay, mostly,, light teasing may still happen..) Most themes involved Lauren (or Nate’s) love for pop music and boybands or when Nate started experimenting with his guyliner. (and Lauren only teased him bc it was poorly drawn on…)

17. When one is feeling down, how does the other respond?

I kinda mentioned this one with the bros here the first time I reblogged these questions, but to add on Lauren:

On minor sad days, Lauren’s the type to give advice if she can or some kind of generic comforting thing and then kinda joke with her brothers. She kinda downplays her helping, kinda like “the solution’s simple, you just, do this. Is that reALLY all you wanted to talk to me about???” And if she can get either of them to laugh after they’ve been crying then it’s fair game for her to tease them for it.

If it’s a major sad thing, she tries to be The Strong One in those types of situations, even if it’s hard. She’ll listen if they wanna talk and cry, try to sound reassuring when telling them that it’ll be okay.

Mark’s better at comforting Lauren, they were definitely closer growing up so they kinda know exactly what would help. She doesn’t like feeling “weak” from showing emotions but she doesn’t mind crying in front of him and he’s alright at calming her down. But really Lauren usually just needs someone to rant to and maybe give a little advice, (she won’t outright ask for it but she leaves looong pauses for you to suggest something..) Mark knows and can easily handle that.

Nate isn’t used to seeing a sad Lauren and wouldn’t quite know how to react. Can you…. Tease her for this??? Is that allowed? What would Mark do.. But really, he just tries to be his normal happy self to cheer her up! Tell a funny story or joke.

19. Has one ever had to stop the other from making a very foolish decision? And did the other listen to them?

APsolutely. Mark is Lauren’s impulse control and Nate’s bossy older brother. Mark does stupid shit too but I don’t think any of them really stop him. Though, Mark would actually listen to Lauren on occasion. They both wouldn’t really listen to Nate even if he did try to stop them?? They don’t trust his judgement any more than they do their own. Nate might listen to them about half the time maybe? Still very foolish…

Lauren might try to stop Nathan more, Mark’s old enough to do his own thing. Plus, she finds it funnier if Mark fucks something up somehow, with Nate it’s mostly just sad.

Mark used to try and stop Lauren from doing stupid shit a lot in their teen years, but now he stops Nate from doing stupid stuff more often just by proximity and how much they see each other in comparison. Nate is bound to do something foolish at some point. He normally doesn’t find out Lauren’s doing something foolish until after the fact, now.

27. How far would each go to protect the other?

Oh they’re very protective, Mark used to get involved with Lauren’s fights a lot in high school. (She was always gettin into trouble.) I don’t think Nate really gets into situations like that, but in general he’s protective of him, yeah. (and that extends to Izzy, too.. I know this is about the sibs but this is definitely a situation where he treats her like family. He’s just ! A protective older brother all around, for everyone.)

Lauren,, being a werewolf and undoubtedly the strongest of them all now,,,, could do some damage if she needed to and she wouldn’t hesitate if it was to protect her siblings.

Nate’s a lotta bark and no bite, to be honest, so he wouldn’t get in as many fights like they would. But, he’s passionate and wants to protec them too if he can!

30. How far would each person follow the other? Would they trust them enough to commit crime because the other asked them to?

Uhh, pretty far, especially the twins. They have a lot of trust for each other and yeah I could see that involving a crime if it was completely necessary. At the very least, hiding a crime that the other one did..

Mark: We need to fuck someone’s shit up? I’ll fuck someone’s shit up.Lauren: Listen, I’m not saying that. All I’m saying is I know where to find some very sharp teeth and some very secluded woods.Nate: I draw the line at petty theft and arson.

Siiince Nate’s our lil crime boy in the runaway AU though, I’ll expand a lil more on that scenario since it’s more tangible? I think they’d both get involved immediately if he asked/said he was in some kind of trouble. Kind of a heat of the moment ofc I gotta help my lil bro out of a bad situation. But I don’t think he does that. I think he just disappears suddenly for a while and bc of that.. Well, they’d wanna do some detective work to figure out what happened to him,, but might not jump to help him as immediately when he does finally show back up again. They were incredibly worried for him and now that he’s back, they’re mad at him for making them so scared!! ‘You could’ve called a long time ago!’ >:(

Not to say they wouldn’t help him at all, he would just need to do a lot more explaining for either of them to get on board. That being said if the newly blonde and tattooed Nathan showed up at either of their houses with some equally disguised boyfriends then they wouldn’t hesitate to let them hide out n crash there.

31. If one wronged the other badly, would the other forgive them easily?

Mark forgives kinda easily? He’d be upset initially but eventually, he’d rather keep his relationships in tact than hold grudges.

Lauren IS Dramatic and WILL hold grudges, no doubt. Forgiveness might happen eventually, but it’s not easy.

Nate wants to forgive and for sure would try, normally he’d be the first to forgive! But he’s a lil more emotional and if we’re talking badly wronged,, bad feelings and memories would still pop up and he’s not as Over It as he pretends to be. Whatever happened still might hurt him, and he’d also bring previous arguments up even if they weren’t relevant as evidence of maYBE I shouldn’t forgive you this time!! They love their baby brother but they push him around sometimes, sometimes its ‘just teasing’ and sometimes it’s not, and I feel like if they did something that was seriously that bad, he’d start thinking about EVERYthing before telling himself, how much am I gonna put up with.
