Happy Binderary 2024!! Kicking things off with the fantastic Never understood a single word he said by dear friend @aboxthecolourofheartache. I had the best time beta'ing this for Box and just had to have it on my shelf! More pics and process info under the cut:
had an absolute blast packing as many easter eggs as I could into this one! it's a roadtrip gone wrong fic heh, so I went for a scrapbook/collage cover made of the same kraft paper I usually use for paperbacks, but left the hinge + spine exposed. I tore each piece from a different sheet of scrapbook paper, so the resulting texture is really fun:
Tumblr media
I also went to town with references to some of the events in the story, particularly on the back of the cover. the postcard is probably my favorite element; here are my few first practice runs on scratch paper (along with some of my colored pencil testings for the markings on the map) before I went for it on the real cover!
Tumblr media
I repurposed the ribbon graphics I originally drew for another bind (@feralrookie's right where I should be ❤️). the music notes on the first page notate the rhythm of the opening lines of the song the fic is based on, Three Dog Night's "Joy to the World," which I had on loop while I was typesetting this! ("Jeremiah was a bullfrog/Was a good friend of mine.") Box's taste in trigun-themed country and blues is impeccable, and I have a whole spotify playlist made almost entirely of her recs ehe :3
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the blank/empty ribbon appears between chapter 1 and the epilogue for story reasons ehe; really wanted to convey the feeling of "where did the music go?", because I also listened to American Pie a lot while making this lolol.
also added little camera graphic at the end, which reminded me of meryl's occupation as a journalist, but the hands/lack of a face holding the camera also gives me the uncanny feeling of being watched/photographed (also plot relevant heh). camera graphic and the house graphic at the beginning are both sourced from Heritage Type's free vintage illustrations, from a series of packs called "Hands Holding Stuff."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the hand holding the house on the title page gave me wolfwood's confessional-on-the-go vibes, BUT it was originally held straight like this:
Tumblr media
so I decided to tilt it to give it more of that feeling of instability and "oh shit my entire world is being turned upside down rn god the exits WHERE ARE THE EXITS (there are no exits)" feeling present in the fic :D so I guess it's more of a knives reference?? still, the kind of "what is even going on here?" reaction I had when I first saw it fits well with the title, so I went with it!
Tumblr media
and that's it for now!! I'll be out of town for the next week or so, but I have a bunch more projects I'm really excited to share this month, along with some long-overdue author copies that I'm excited to get mailed to their rightful homes!
finally, thank you SO much for letting me bind your work, Box!!! it's always such a pleasure <333

Nisa hi omg I love love love your new blog theme its so beautiful! Love the icon too it's gorgeous <3
I haven't been on tumblr very much and I miss you guys :" How are you!! How have you been!! Tell me everything <3
Hiiii Thank you so much, Dr. Meg!
HAHAHA Can I call you that just once? I think it just goes well with you. Or maybe because you have this very academia vibe? (´∀`•) Jokes aside, THIS WHOLE TIME, I kept thinking that you were doing your master's degree even though you've been updating how you're preparing FOR it. My brain!! I swear, something is wrong with it (Just kidding, I love my brain. I don't want to scold this poor little thing (*' ー)ノ(ノд`) ).
Anyway, where were we? Oh, yeah, the theme//
I just wanted to try something new because that icon I previously used is so old. I drew it with my stylus pen in the IG Story editor back in 2019, lol. And then I found this cute picrew and a cute lil potato plushie pic :))
And thank you for checking up on me, Meg! I'm doing really well! I'm so happy because, even though I still haven't done much, I've progressed a lot since April. I finally got back the spark of getting out of bed and feeling motivated to do something toward my goals. That constant bed rotting in April caused me to binge-study these past three weeks to save the semester 😂. I got burned out in the first 4 days, but I managed to get back on track and relearn how to learn. The last week was pretty enjoyable for me :) I think I'm starting to love studying again :) I just finished the first exam this morning, and I'm so relieved! I think I saved this one (hopefully :v).
Some other things that happened in June: First, I (forcibly) learned how to cook because my mom moved out of town for work. Now I actually cook at home for my dad and me daily. Something I didn't think I would do. Second, the kittens now can run really fast! 🐈 We named them Reo (because it reminded us of Oreo) and Rui (because it's white). I love seeing them playing and running around the house. The older cats, Nino and Noni, love playing with them too. The kittens would play in this little basket, and Noni would flip it upside down, caging them inside. Silly Noni 😂 They really brighten this house :")
So, yeah, that's how pretty much June is.
Congrats on starting your study at the new uni, Meg!! I'm sooo sooo proud of you!! I also love seeing you so active these days. Dancing and hanging out with friends and family sounds so exciting. I actually have a lot to ask to you too. So, brb ;)
Anyway, thanks for dropping by, Meg! 💗💗💗✨💖

Well well well, I guess it had to occur at some point, but let me tell you that today's post, with my latest entry in the Snapetober, may be subject to be edited in the future. I'm not satisfied with what I did, and think I could at least improve a lot on it if I don't do a whole new drawing. Anyway I'll show you the pic because I was able to meat the delays until that point and I wouldn't like to make my first exception ahah.
Here it is.
Tumblr media
I drew it for days 21 & 22, to represent my combination of the prompts "Contemplation" and "Touch Starved".
I think I struggled to find a way to represent the "touch starved" part and it didn't help that it went with the "contemplation" theme. I went through different ideas and I don't know how it ultimately turned this way.
The dislocating shapes are supposed to echoe those of the memories when pourred into the pensieve, as it was represented in the movies (in a very graphical way, very reminescent of ink in water, and I've always loved it). If you look closely, and turn the thing upside down, you may reconize some familiar image in those inky patterns.
I wanted to give the impression of a Snape sinking in the contemplation of a memory (reason why I used some elements representing water) while wrapping himself in his cloak in a kind of comforting way (making up, somehow, for the absence of someone to provide him some reassurance). I imagined that it could be a young Snape in the aftermath of Lily's death, and I wanted him to look vulnerable and tired (I don't know if you can see it but he has a bit of a beard too) . It's also a feeling I wanted to convey in using his tangled cloak around his shoulders and his rather curled up position. I think that all and all I missed those parts and couldn't deliver those feelings with the drawing, so it doesn't work all that much.
I like some of the ideas - just not the final result. If I find myself able to correct it, I may repost or reblog this drawing with an updated version, I wasn't able to come up with anything more convincing but I may be later. I also have other ideas for this combination that I could work uppon. It's only a matter of time I guess, unfortunately I sometimes struggle to get either the inspiration or the ability to draw something I can picture in my head.
Don't hesitate to leave your thoughts nevertheless! 💧
Here is the draft as a bonus, I don't know if that's any interesting but that may give an idea of what was the intention before it turned out like the drawing above.

Stranger from Out of Town
Summary: Arvin had no reason to be here. After the things he’d done, he had no reason to be blessed with an angel like you. But after spending so long on the run, after spending so long looking over his shoulder, he couldn’t help but fall in love with the one person who made him feel safe. All is well and good in Arvin’s life until one determined and obsessed sheriff decides it’s time to pay Arvin a visit.
Notes: Ya’ll, this one’s a doosey but I hope you enjoy it anyways. For the purposes of this pic, Bodecker is still alive.
Tumblr media
When Arvin woke up that morning he could feel that something was different. Arvin’s life had been flipped upside down by his own actions that had ultimately been what forced him to live his life on the run. He had spent the better part of a year running, zigzagging across the country in the hopes of shaking the authorities off; first traveling down to Georgia, then up to Iowa, then back down towards Texas and so on before finally finding permanent resident. Arvin knew what the rest of his life would look like from here on out. He understood that he would spend the rest of his time on God’s green Earth looking over his shoulder and never finding the quiet life he longed for. Arvin knew that he was cursed, from the moment his mother had died he had been plagued with loss and he was sure he was one of the unlucky souls who had come to be the Devil’s plaything. Arvin had expected that his life would forever be riddled with rot and chaos, damned to suffer through conflict after conflict after conflict. But when Arvin opened his eyes today to the sun streaming in through window and the sound of bacon sizzling coming from the kitchen, he finally understood what it felt like to be at peace.
Arvin swung his legs over the side of the bed, hauling himself up and making his way down the hall. His steps were heavy with sleep, shuffling against the floor loud enough to alert the person in the kitchen to his presence. As Arvin drew closer, he began to hear the hum of a song that was unfamiliar to him, just barely covered by the sound of someone flipping an egg, prompting him to hurry his steps to arrive at the delicious smell and the lovely voice that had almost lulled him back to sleep where he stood. Rounding the corner, Arvin couldn’t help but grin at the sight before him. There you stood in front of the stove, still dressed in your nightgown, cooking a breakfast big enough for two. 
Two. Such a simple word with such little meaning. An insignificant word that made Arvin’s heart swell with delight. It wasn’t just him anymore, alone and scared, no, now it was him and you. To Arvin, it was hope. Arvin watched as you plated the food you had prepared before turning around and flashing him an earth shattering smile. You would never know how much it meant to him, your smile, and that you were here, right now. You would never know the kind of stability you brought to him. And he planned to keep it that way, to keep you in the dark about all the things he’d done. To keep letting you believe he was just the stranger from out of town who stole your heart.
When you met Arvin, he was just a newcomer, a lost soul who had found your quaint little town practically in the middle of nowhere. He had stirred up quit a buzz when he walked into your parents’ little diner, asking if there was any place he could stay the night, but seeing as your town was so small, small enough that it could safely be left off of most maps and small enough that tourism wasn’t a main source of income, the answer was unequivocally no. Your father, who had been Arvin had the luck of plopping himself next to, informed him that the closest motel was almost a three hours drive away. Arvin remembered staring out the window, watching the last rays of light vanish, his hope along with it. It would be impossible for him to get someone to see him this late at night, let alone actually stop for him. Arvin felt like he could cry in that moment, but your mother, ever the good Christian woman, had offered to let him stay at your house until tomorrow morning. Arvin was grateful that your mother had been so kind, and in retrospect you were too, but you remembered how much you resented Arvin when your mother told you he would be staying with you. At first, you were all for it, one night with an attractive stranger from out of town in your house wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world, but the next day both Arvin and your father came home in the afternoon after they had supposedly left to take Arvin to the next town over earlier that morning.
“Turns out this boy knows his way around a car,” your father had said, beaming.  He had later told your mother privately that he had offered Arvin a place to stay with your family and a smaller than average wage in exchange for his help around the shop. Your father owned the only car shop in town and was in desperate need of a new assistant, and seeing as you didn’t want anything to do with being a mechanic, your father saw Arvin as a golden opportunity, someone to possibly pass the torch to. Your mother was more than happy to let him stay, finding his handiness around the house useful, but you were less  ready to welcome him into your life. Arvin had garnered a lot of attention, especially from the female population, and most of the girls at your school would pretend to be your friend in the hopes that you would invite them over, just so they could get a glimpse at him. It only got worse when your parents had commissioned Arvin to pick you up and drop you off to school. The girls would stare, trying to get a closer look at Arvin, a few of them even having the courage to go up and talk to him. It made you sick, that attention he got and how much he seemed to enjoy it. You had convinced yourself that it was skepticism about his character, but now that you look back on it, it was nothing more than petty jealousy that bubbled in your stomach. It was stupid, really, to be jealous that a boy was giving other girl’s his attention, especially since you hadn’t seemed very keen on the idea of him even being in your town, but what you didn’t know was that it wasn’t the attention that Arvin enjoyed, it was the fact that in the people around him, in the kindness that people showed him, Arvin could see a future here; a future with you.
From the moment Arvin laid his eyes on you, he was smitten, he would even go as far as to say it was love at first sight. Arvin wouldn’t confess this to you until almost a year after you’d met when he tried to ask you to prom (with your parents’ permission, of course). It was honestly a train wreck and did not go at all how he had planned. Arvin had invited you out to the town’s gazebo, he had strung up lights as best he could and set up a nice little dinner for the two of you. He saw a figure slowly approach, thinking it was you, only to be disappointed when Susan Hall, who Arvin remembered you hated with a passion, stepped into the light and flung herself at him, telling him how sweet it was of him to do this and attempting to kiss him. You had seen the whole thing and, devastated, you ran away, Arvin chasing after you. He had caught up to you in the woods behind your parents’ property and explained what had happened, confessing that he loved you and only you. You believed him, and rightfully so, as you later found out that Susan had crashed your plans on purpose to try and steal Arvin from you.
Looking back on it now, with you leaning against his in the small house that you had bought the second you graduated high school with the little money both of you had saved up and some help from your parents, Arvin was glad he had ended up in your dreary town, no matter how complicated your relationship had been when it first started. He watched as you admired the ring on your finger, smiling at it as if you had been missing it all your life, the now empty dishes sitting in your sink waiting to be washed. It was times like this Arvin remembered why he had to keep his past life from you a secret. He loved you and often found himself wanting to tell you all about his past life. Every time you asked why he looked like he was carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders Arvin wanted nothing more than to tell you everything, but Arvin loved you too much to let you go and he couldn’t bare to think of what would happen if you knew what he did.
“Darlin’, I gotta get ready for work.” He said, lips pressed against the crown of your head.
“Why don’t you call in sick today,” you suggested.
“I would but your dad would kill me.”
“You know he loves you Arvin.”
“Yeah, that’s why I don’t wanna disappoint ‘im.” With one final kiss to your head, Arvin stood up and made his way to your shared bedroom. You began to clean the dishes, not having to go into the diner until later that day. As you began cleaning the last pan in the sink, a sturdy knock came from your door.
“I’ll get it!” You yelled, hearing Arvin begin to hurry to the front door. You had opened the door just as Arvin arrived at the end of the hallway. In front of you stood a tall man with a sheriff’s badge pinned to his shirt.
“Mornin’ ma’am, my name’s Lee Bodecker,” The man said. “I’m looking for a man named Arvin Russell and I heard I might find him here.”
“Arvin?” You repeated, confusion written all over your face. You turned to look at your husband, eyebrows furrowed in a silent question. From where the sheriff stood, he couldn’t see Arvin, his figure being blocked by the door, but if he leaned ever so slightly to the left he might be able to peer into the house and see there was someone else there. You knew something was wrong, you had never seen Arvin look as scared as he did now, so without a second thought, you had gently closed the door so that your body filled the gap it created, leaning against the door frame in an attempt to feign nonchalance.
“I’m sorry, Mister, but there ain’t no Arvin Russell here. Whoever told you there was must have been misinformed.”
“You sure about that?”
“Sure as the hair on my head.”
“Oh, alright. Then may I ask who it was you called to just before you opened the door?”
“My husband.” You said after a long pause, caught off guard by the man’s question.
“Mind if I speak with him?”
“Well I don’t but I’m not sure how you’d feel about seein’ him naked. He’s takin’ a shower right now.” You began gently tapping your foot, your nerves beginning to get the better of you. You had never been all that good at lying, something about it made you feel wrong, dirty. But you needed to protect your husband, after all, it’s what he would do for you.
“Then would you mind if I waited.”
“Actually I would. I have to leave for work soon and, with all do respect, I don’t much like leaving a stranger unattended in my house.”
With a small nod and a tip of the hat, the man bid you goodbye, getting into his car and driving off. You closed the door and turned to Arvin. It was silent for a long time, you waited for Arvin to explain himself but Arvin didn’t know what to say. His worst nightmare was coming true and he was terrified that your love for him wouldn’t be strong enough to survive this.
“Arvin,” You said, as calmly as you could, not wanting to spook him or yourself anymore, though it proved a lot harder that you thought. “Why was that man at our door?”
Arvin opened his mouth as if to say something but for the life of him he couldn’t find the words. He was frustrated with himself, and from the looks of it you were getting pretty frustrated at him to.
“Arvin,” you said more firmly. “I just lied to a goddamn sheriff for you. Please, tell me what’s going on.”
Arvin took a deep breathe before explaining everything to you. He told you about Lenora, and how hung herself. About the preacher and Bodecker and about Bodecker’s sister and her crazy husband. He explained everything he had done with complete and utter honesty. And he cried, longing to reach out for you but knowing his hands were too tainted to be worthy of ever holding something as beautifully pure as you. You didn’t know what to say. On the one hand, you understood his reasoning. To you, it seemed like the people Arvin had killed had it coming. But on the other hand, your husband had killed people. It didn’t matter what the reason was, taking a person’s life was a sin, something unforgivable in the holy book. Despite your better judgement, your decision ultimately came down to this: Arvin was your husband, and you loved him.
You slowly approached Arvin’s shaking figure, gently wrapping your arms around his shoulders and threading your hands through his hair. Arvin broke down into sobs, holding you impossibly close to him as if he needed you more than the air he breathed.
“Arvin,” You said once he had stopped crying, your own tears beginning to fall as you realized that there was only one option left for you both. “Arvin, we need to go.”
“What?”
“We need to go.” He gently pulled away from you, looking into your eyes, checking to make sure he heard you correctly.
“B-but this is our home.”
“I know Arvin, but that sheriff didn’t believe a word I said and he’s gonna be asking around town for you. It won’t be long until word of what you’ve done begins to spread. We need to leave before it’s too late.”
You gently ushered Arvin towards the bedroom and told him to begin packing a bag, unaware of the figure lurking at your backdoor. Bodecker had listened in on your conversation, hearing every word you and Arvin had spoken to each other, preparing for the right moment to make himself known. It was now or never, he thought, hearing you tell Arvin to pack a bag. As quietly as possible, Bodecker broke the lock on your back door, slowly making his way towards your bedroom. The door was wide open, he could see you and Arvin darting around the room trying to find your essentials. It was almost perfect, how unaware you both were. How wrapped up you were in yourselves that you didn’t even notice a 6 foot tall man practically right in front of you. With a sadistic smile, Bodecker raised his shotgun.
You froze when you heard someone pump a shotgun behind you, whipping around to find Bodecker standing just a few feet from you, gun aimed at Arvin. Your heart was beating so hard you thought it might burst, the thought of losing Arvin only increasing the adrenaline that was currently coursing through you.
“You thought you could get away, didn’t you?” Bodecker asked.
“Please, your sister and her husband, t-they were gonna kill me I didn’t hav-”
“I don’t care! You killed my sister. My sister! You killed the only person I loved Arvin. And now, I’m gonna return the favor.” In one swift motion, Bodecker turned to point the gun at you, raising his gun higher to aim at you properly. You closed your eyes before hearing the bang of a gun. You waited, standing stock still as the terror of the situation slowly got to you, but you didn’t feel pain, instead you felt a set of hands holding your face, a voice softly telling you to open your eyes. You did as you were told, seeing Arvin in front of you, eyes frantic. You looked at the ground next to him, an unfamiliar gun next to Arvin’s foot. You came to the realization that Arvin must have used it to shoot Bodecker, your suspicion being proven correct when your eyes landed on Bodecker’s now lifeless body laying in a pool of his own blood.
“A-Arvin-” Arvin softly hushed you.
“It’s okay, you’re okay now.” Arvin pulled you closer to him, cradling your head and shielding you from the body. Soon you could hear sirens in the distance, the panic slowly rising inside of you again. You could feel Arvin begin to panic too, his breathing starting to pick up.
“H-his badge.” You said, pulling away from Arvin, scared that he would be taken away from you. “We-we need to get rid of h-his badge. A-and any identification he has. It has to look like an- like an accident”
“R-right. Right, okay, uh...” Arvin began searching Bodecker’s body, quickly finding both his badge and ID and hiding them in a small hollow under one of the floor boards where you kept your savings. You and Arvin quickly came up with a cover, agreeing to keep it simple. The police arrived not long after, conducting an interview and putting you both through due process. You told them what you and Arvin had agreed to say, that the man broke into your house and tried to rob you, but thanks to Arvin’s quick thinking, Arvin was able to get to his gun and shoot the intruder. The policemen interviewing you were  skeptical, wondering why neither of you called the police after killing the man. You blamed it on shock, saying that Arvin’s first instinct was to comfort you, the intruder did have a gun pointed at you, after all. The policemen eventually dropped the subject, seeing you begin to tear up as the adrenaline and shock of the day began to ware off. Your parents came to get you and Arvin, offering you both your old room at their house until they were able to get someone to fix your back door, an offer that the both of you readily accepted. That night you and Arvin held each other just a little bit tighter, neither one of you finding sleep to come easy.
“We can’t tell anyone what happened today.” Arvin said, rubbing your back in an attempt to soothe you.
“I know.” You replied, tightly clutching onto his shirt. “I love you, Arvin.”
“I love you, too, Darlin’”
You didn’t know what would come out of tonight. You didn't know if you were making a mistake by trusting Arvin after everything he had done. You weren’t sure if you were messed up for loving a murderer or if you were right in believing that Arvin was doing good, even if it meant doing some more than questionable things. But you knew one thing, you knew you loved Arvin and that he loved you, and that you both would always protect each other, no matter the cost.

This Got Out of Hand (and we’re out of paint): Marvus Xoloto ♦♠Reader
yall i swear i’m gonna get on writing stuff that actually got requested but this idea wouldn’t release me until I’d finished it so here we fuckin go
Tumblr media
This simply could not stand.
Black flirting and romance, once upon a time, was a concept utterly foreign to you. It had taken roughly three conversations with Tegiri and Polypa on the topic (and a lot of time spent around Galekh and Tagora) before it had registered to you as anything more than consistent hate fucking and passive aggressive remarks. 
That was before you met Marvus. 
The clown was many things: attractive. Creative. Charismatic. Funny. Way more intelligent than he presented himself as. He was also a shit-starter, would probably pail with Zebruh before he would confess to a genuine emotion without fifteen layers of casual slang and innuendo, and seemed to take intense pleasure in riling you the fuck up whenever he got the chance. One way or another he wormed his way into your head, and suddenly you couldn’t stop hearing his voice in your head even when he wasn’t around. Challenging you, teasing you, testing you, doing his utmost to get you a nice, steaming anger before ruffling your hair with a wink and walking away.
It was also possible you were a little bit smitten with him.
Or maybe a lot. 
Regardless, in time you’d come to understand that it was a mutual thing. For as much as he didn’t show it, you were beginning to read between the many, many lines with the clown. He enjoyed the hell out of you, sure, but he also seemed to find you something of a puzzle. Beyond the fact that you still hadn’t kicked Zebruh to the curb (and he never failed to send you an eye-rolling emoji whenever he appeared in one of your Chittr photos), every story about your past that came up seemed to render him a little bewildered about what it was you’d put up with in order to attain those sweet and lofty fruits of FRIENDSHIP. 
“i mean, lil stab-stab here, lil push off a cliff here, ‘sall gucci sunshine. normal n all that shizz.”  He’d said, in one of his rarer moments of honesty. The fact that both of you had slammed a couple liters of faygo in the aftermath of a particularly exhausting show probably had something to do with it. He lounged on the couch, absently combing fingers through his piles of hair. “but keep hangin out wih m-fers what still wish ya harm, or bloo shizzheads what won’t take no for an answer, that’s a whole other thing, uhearme?”
You’d waved dismissively from your position lying on the floor. You were a little drunk yourself at the time. “Its fine. Usually. And when its not its like….phoo, somehow it gets fine anyways!”
“jus sayin” he said, shifting until he was upside down on the couch, face inches from yours. Close enough that you could see the greasepaint starting to flake off. “need sumbody what can keep ya from gettin urself killed, lil buddy.”
“You volunteering?” You’d crooned. Ok, croon is a strong verb, it was more like slurred, but crooning was the intention is what matters.
“u askin me to?” He smirked, pressing a single claw to your forehead. Internally, you’re pretty sure that’s not how volunteering works, but noticing that isn’t at the top of your hierarchy of needs currently. 
“Mmmmaybe.” You rolled onto your back. You can feel your heart pounding just a bit right now, but somehow your voice is floating even and light. Like you don’t have a care in the world, and this is just one more joke in the scheme of your weird mobius double irony reacharound of a relationship. “Maybe I wanna go all gorlekh with you, what do ya think of that.”
“‘scuse?”
“Gorlekh. Gorgor and Lekh-…..lekh….” You made a dismissive noise, gesticulating your hands wildly as you moved to sit up. “The black one!”
“….ur talkin spades?”
“Yeah! The kissmissies….kissmich….” Wow faygo was no joke on your system. “The hate one. Like I don’t hate you, except I think I do a bit? But like in that weird alien way where I think it just makes me like you more and its confusing but I don’t wanna stop and you’re so damn cute and….and…”
Your voice trails off.
Because the man is honest to globes grinning. No smirk, no lazy half-smile, no lowered eyelids, nothing to give that careful impression that he’s only happy in a chill way. Just a huge, toothy smile that split his face.
Bro that shit was radiant.
“m-fer, u have no idea what ur in for….”
—–
You really hadn’t but you hadn’t had a moment of regret since then.
It was a constant game of one upmanship between you, an intense competition to see who could get who to visibly express their emotions first. Maybe that was unusual by kismesis standards: it didn’t seem much like Tagora and Galekh’s dynamic. But you were enjoying every second of it, and if Marvus had complaints he sure as hell wasn’t voicing them.
The only downside, all told, was the lack of time.You didn’t have hours to build on the tension. More often than not you had moments between shows. Actual antagonism had to be planned in to make sure the point got across without actually getting either of you hurt. After a full day of work he was usually too burnt out for more than light teasing and, to borrow his phrase, “sloppy makeouts”.
Those sloppy makeouts were becoming in themselves the point of your focus.

After one such particular petting session, you glanced at the clock out of the corner of your eye. Fuck, it was late (er….early) and you had a long walk home with your car out of commision. You sighed, pulling yourself off of him with no small amount of protest. “I’ve gotta go.”
“u got some1 else u gotta do this to” he muttered, getting to his feet and brushing himself off. You were starting to realize a denied, overtired Marvus was a grumpy Marvus, which was as endearing as it was needy as hell.
“Maybe~.” You say, enjoying the glint he got in his eyes. You straighten out your clothes for a bit. “Tomorrow?”
“day off tomorrow bruh. clown church” He slipped an arm around you from behind, leaning down by your neck. “which means u can stay here-”
“Mm-mm” You slip free, nudging his face back. “Not tonight. Not here.”
“keep tellin ya juggz don’t spread shizz around” He said, lips pouting out a bit, which forces you to look away.
Denial is part of the game, after all. 
“‘Juggz’ aren’t the only people around here. And I’m not looking to get your fanbase up my ass. I’ve got more than enough people looking to cull me” 
“Hehe, tryna make me jealous ;o)”
You roll your eyes and head for the exit to his dressing room.The cool night air beckons outside, but you find your path suddenly obstructed by his arm. With a huff, you look up at him. “I’m heading ou-Mmm!”
The head turn had allowed him to get a grip on your chin and pull you into another deep kiss. Not a kiss, actually, if there was a word for it you’d describe it as some kind of facial wrestling match. He kissed around your mouth, your cheeks, your eyelids, in rapid succession, all the while insistently rubbing his nose and cheeks against your face as you spluttered. 
“Marvus-I—hey!!” 
With a final peck to the tip of your nose, he drew back grinning ear to ear, face paint now a smeary mess. “have a nice nite, b~” 
And you suddenly found yourself outside, hearing the door lock behind you. 
Oh that little- You snatched your phone out of your pocket and turned on your front facing camera. Sure enough, your face was now suddenly covered in white-grey paint, already caking on your cheeks and making you look like you’d fallen face first into glue.
“Marvus, I’m gonna kill you!” You said, pounding at the door. From the other side you swear you hear him laughing, which is only adding kindling to the fire at this point. 
Great. Perfect. You could either face the long walk home or use your sweatshirt to wipe it off and leave a visible stain on the black sleeves. Fuck it, you won’t be able to make it to Tyzias’s to do laundry for a bit, so you’re gonna have to walk of shame your way home. Fanfuckingtastic.
Practically the second you crossed the threshold your phone buzzed.
therealxoloto: send pics before u clean urself up aight ;o)
Oh he wanted a fucking-
You sent him a well backlit photo of your face, largely covered by an Alternian hand gesture Mallek had taught you.
therealxoloto: hell ye that’s that good shizz
Alien_among_you: you think you’re so funny
therealxoloto: clown church baby lmao
therealxoloto: i’m fxxkin hi lar i OUS
therealxoloto: ♠
Alien_among_you: ♠
You go to bed with cheeks red and chapped from being scrubbed, which was DEFINITELY the only reason they were red.
—-
After that, no kiss was safe, not truly. He’d found a button to press, and he sure as hell wasn’t gonna leave it alone while it still worked. Sometimes he’d led you go days, wipes even, without an incident, only to jump you once you were lulled into a false sense of security. Practically everything you owned had been stained with the stuff with the point, and you’d gotten more mouthfuls of it than you’d care to mention. 
And naturally, this meant war.
It took you some time to figure out an appropriate revenge. Just stealing his paints felt over the line somehow. While you were still figuring out the ropes of clown religion, the fact that you had yet to see a clown without the stuff probably meant it was important. Marvus had only just started cleaning it off in front of you, and while he hadn’t made a big deal out of it, you’d gotten the impression that it was kind of a moment for him.
So, taking the stuff wasn’t an option. All that was left was to thwart it.
Can’t mess up a face already covered.
You waited till he’d left to run an early rehearsal, then quickly raided the vanity, tracking down brushes and setting powder and a couple of those little white brushes. You opened the tins and carefully positioned yourself in front of the mirror. Alright. Ok.
You hadn’t exactly done this before, but how hard could it be to figure out? 
Fifteen minutes later you realized that optimism was a bit misplaced. You weren’t exactly aiming for perfect, but you at least didn’t want it to look like a kid had painted you up. That would give him leverage to flip the teasing back on you, which was not the point of the exerices. You kept have to undo your work. The diamonds edges were too round, or too wide. The eyebrows were uneven. It took you far too long to figure out how to even tape down your natural brows. The makeup wipes were starting to pile up and paint was getting much lower. How the hell did he do this every day, it looked practically effortless-
Footsteps in the hallway. 
Panic rose in your throat as you swept the trash into a nearby can and haphazardly tried to make the vanity look like it had when he left. As they grew closer, you realized your eyebrows were still taped down, and ripping those off in a hurry was probably not the best idea. You practically dove into the bathroom, locking the door behind you.
“¿Yo, I leave my palmhusk in here?” 
You feel a sudden rush of relief. Not your clown. You recognize the voice: Payasa, one of the newer acts. You open the door a crack, seeing a tall juggalette with close cropped hair and a complex design resembling a moth across the center of your face. Damn, you weren’t even managing basic geometric patterns, how the hell did she paint that on every morning?  “Haven’t seen it, sorry.”
“¿damn, sorry ‘bout the intrusion?” The lanky clown starts to leave, before hesitating. “¿uhh…..you doin alright motherfucker?¿Need me to get the big man?” 
“No! No….” you say quickly. “I’m fine.”
“¿alright…?”
A thought occurs to you just before she leaves. Normally it’d be uncomfortable asking, but…you wanted to get this done.“….actually you know what.” You push open the bathroom door. “Could I get some help with something?”
She turns around quickly, gaze eager. Alien or no alien, she’s new here and eager to please. “¿watcha need?”
“I need you to help me put some face paint on.” You say, gesturing pointedly to your eyebrow situation.
You feel a cold spot of dread as the clown’s cheeks go bright purple. Oh globes, is this one of those troll things you’ve just put your foot in. Did you just spit in the face of the mirthful messiahs or something. 
Payasa rubs the back of her head, eyes darting towards the door. “¿er….does Marvus…know about this?”
“Its a surprise for him,” You say quickly. Hoping against hope, because otherwise its back to the drawing board or figure out how to do it yourself.
“¿I…?” The clown grimaces, nervously tugging on one of her many piercings. She seems to be at war with something inside herself. Finally, she swallows and looks back down at you. “¿sure….?”
A relieved look crosses your face. “Thank you so much, I promise I wouldn’t ask otherwise, but I’m pretty hopeless at this. 
“¿heh…no p?” She said, giving you a shy half-smile. “¿did you uh….have a design in mind?”
“Oh, that’s the easy part. I just need you to copy Marvus’ design.”
Another weighty silence. The purple faded, and its hard to tell under the makeup but you think she might have just gone pale, her eyes bulging out of her head.
“….is that….is that not ok?” You say weakly. 
“¿I-….it’s uh, fine!?” She managed to stammer out. The gazes towards the door returned, but after another look at your pleading face she seemed to gather her courage and slam it closed, making you jump. “¿its fine.?¿ Can do it quick, right?¿ Don’t have to be a big deal or nothin…?”
“Uh….sure?”
Payasa drags up a chair to the vanity bench and gestures for you to sit down. Despite the oddness of her behavior, you’re didn’t get this far looking gift clowns in the mouth. You sit down.
She makes quick work of it, though she still seems nervous. Her face keeps going purpler and purpler the longer she paints, and her ears flatten to the side of her skull as she worries her lip with her fangs.
“Are you sure this is ok?” You finally ask. “There’s not like, a rule against this or anything, right? I don’t want you to….I don’t know, commit heresy or something.”
“¿Nah, nah, not heresy, motherfucker.?” She says quickly, dabbing the poff in the setting powder before carefully dusting you. “¿Jus….little unusual is all.?¿But ain’t my place to judge.?”
“Why is it unusual?” True, Marvus seemed to prefer to do his own makeup, but you’d seen other juggalos do each others faces all the time, especially on the rare wipe end Marvus could drag you out to clown church. It had always seemed kind of peaceful. 
“¿I uh….think I’m gonna let Marvus tell ya about that.?” She mutters, putting on the finishing touches. “¿Ain’t sinful, though, promise.?”
“Well….that’s good, I guess.” You help her put the paints away. “Thanks again. His reaction should be worth it, at least.”
She let out a sharp laugh. “¿Yeah, imagine it will…?” She got to her feet, replacing the chair and giving you a lazy, two-fingered salute. “¿Gotta bounce and get ready for my set.?¿have a nice night, little motherfucker.?”
“You too.” Man, what does it say about your life right now that ‘little mothefucker’ read as affectionate. Before you can contemplate that, Payasa leaves the room, closing the door behind her. 
Marvus doesn’t come back for another twenty minutes or so. You lounge on the couch, scrolling through your messages and dicking around with a couple of games you’d downloaded for Diemen. You got so far down the rabbithole that by the time Marvus opened the door you’d almost forgotten what was on your face.
Almost.
“m-fin sound issues, swear 2 fxxkin glob…” He was muttering, twirling his staff absently in his fingers. “sorry i’m-”
He finally turns his eyes on you, and you’re treated to a rare sight.
Marvus Xoloto, speechless. Mouth still halfway open on its way to whatever he’d been planning to say. Eyes slowly tracing your face. You could practically see the question marks popping up over his head.
Its your turn to smirk, tucking your phone back into your pocket as you sit up, tossing your hair back a bit. “Lookin for your makeup rag? Bad news bitch, I’m already co-”
Marvus heads back outside, slamming the door. 
….Ok. Not the reaction you were expecting.
You waited for a second. Was this a bit?
….
Ok ok not a bit not a bit-
You scrambled to your feet, following him out the door.
Instinctively you move towards the green room, but he’s not there. Just a couple of the others, lounging around and hitting each other with squirts of a substance you deeply hope is whipped cream. One of them catches sight of you and their eyes go wide. “….damN, didnT knoW yoU anD xolotO werE therE.”
“Have you seen-….what do you mean there.”
They chuckle, getting up and clapping you on the shoulder, giving you a big goofy grin. “he’S A luckY maN. prettY surE I saW hiM headiN foR thE costumeS closeT. leT A brotheR knoW iF yoU neeD A buckeT oR somethiN, aY”
Coming down to it you wish Marvus’ friends were a little less helpful sometimes. “I…think we’re good. Thanks” You brush past him on your way to the closet, hearing a couple distant “whoops” as you retreated.
The costumes closet is tucked away in a small corner. He’s not there, and for a moment you nearly considered looping back to his dressing room, before-…
Is that muffled screaming?!
Nervously you tap on the door. “Marvus…”
The sound lapses, and there’s a long pause.
“…..ye?”
“You uh, doin alright in there.”
“heh…def b. gucci.”
“You kinda rushed out.”
“…..”
“I’m coming in.”
“…..cool” he says, sounding resigned.
You open the door. Its stuffed to the brim with an array of truly unspeakable clothes. In the blinding sea of color Marvus is practically camouflaged, but you do eventually spot him. Slumping against the back wall, holding a crumpled shirt in his hand that he seems to have been screaming into. His expression is stony and tired in a way you aren’t used to seeing from him, and his eyes aren’t meeting yours.
One of the hardest things you’ve had to figure out about kismesis is when to break kayfabe. Following every barb or prank with an apology kind of defeats the purpose of a kismesis. They’re supposed to let you dangle a bit. But at the same time there are lines that can’t be crossed. You’re not supposed to genuinely hurt them, or force past boundaries they aren’t comfortable being violated.
The issue, especially in Marvus’ case, is figuring out the difference between the two.
You close the door behind you, pressing your back against the cool metal. “So…..I’m getting the impression that this,” You gesture to your face. “May have been a bit more symbolic than was my intention.”
He’s quiet for a long moment. You can see him struggling against himself, probably considering whether or not he should try to laugh it off. In the end though, he just nods.
“And I may have hurt you somehow?”
“u didnt-”He groaned, tilting his head to lean against the wall and closing his eyes tight. “who even did that 2 ya…”
“I….they’re not gonna get in trouble, right?”
He gave you a Look. 
Right. Not his style. “Payasa”
“n she didn’t think to explain y that might give a clown some m-fin pusher problems?”
“She was acting kinda weird about it, but I think she assumed I knew. Or…was maybe a little too scared”
He sighed, breath coming out in a huff. “fxxkin messiahs…” Slowly, he slid down the wall to sit on the ground.
You hesitated a second, before approaching him. Carefully, you slid to sit down next to him, resting your hands on his knees. “…Can you explain it to me? Please?”
His claws traced out patterns in the shirt he was still holding, as his eyes seemed a million miles away. You found your attention drawn to the slow rise and fall in his chest, the tension in his shoulders. He seemed nervous, a weird look on a man who came alive in front of a crowd of millions of rampaging teens. 
“juggz paint iz personal shizz. start workin on the lewk on yer naming day and it keeps changin while you’re changin. lotta symbolism and liturgical shizz go into it but the main thing iz its….u.” He turns over his hands, staring down at them. Faint purple lines run across the palm, a crisscross of old scars. “ur paint’s ur identity. sum mothafucker steals that, they’re stealin u. hell, even gettin some1 else to paint for ya is a big fxxkin deal. ur puttin ur whole identity in their hands and askin em to put it on ya. lotta clowns don’t even let their quadrants paint em”
Your palms go clammy. In your long proud history of fuck-ups, this one didn’t quite take the cake, but it had definitely cut out a larger slice than would be deemed socially appropriate. “I….holy shit, Marv, I’m sorry.��
“sorry?”
“I didn’t realize, this was like, taking something from you. I can take it off-”
You cut off your sentence when you realize his shoulders are shaking.
If he’s fucking crying you are gonna lose your entire mind-
And then a laugh tears out of his throat. Low and throaty and sweet and uncontrollable, the kind of laugh you heard from him maybe once in a blue moon. You’re taken aback (and more than a little flustered). You can only watch, cheeks growing progressively redder as he slowly subsides, hunching up a bit as he tries to catch his breath.
“I…what….”
“fxxkin saviors, b, sumtimes i forget, ufeelme?” He turned to look at you, grinning wide. “forget how alien u are to allathis. i ain’t mad”
“You aren’t?”
“nah lmao”
“….then what was all of this about?!” You say, shoving his shoulder. “I thought you said-”
He catches your wrist, pulling you to straddle his lap. “hey, hey, don make a m-fer bust out the shoosh paps.” He says, tone completely amused as he soothingly strokes your arms. “jus shuddup for a sec and lemme get raw, kk?”
You decidedly have more to say. But… looking at the soft expression on his face you’re having a hard time remembering what it is. In the end you nod for him to continue, settling back at bit against his legs.
He takes your hand, gently unfurling it and caressing circles in the palm with his thumb. “ur paint is u. and the people all in ya life, the 1s that count….they’re also u.” His thumb presses down solidly, shooting sparks up your arm. “told ya, the design grows like u do. pretty much expected once shizz gets serious with some1 ur gonna change things up a bit to reflect that. like chahut. the heavy paint round the sight specs a reference to that little indigo shit she goes craftin with. doesn’t always happen right away, but, when it does…” He releases your hand and moves up to cup your face. Eyes lidding a bit as he contemplates the design, traces the diamonds with his eyes. “pretty fxxkin big deal”
“I…..so, when I….” Your face goes red with the sudden implications, which makes him chuckle.
“yeah lol. kick in the bulge. not xxxactly what i was thinkin i’d see”
“So….that’s why you left?”
His lips press together a bit, and he gives a shrug at least twice as nonchalant as it should be. “…yeah. woulda been trippy even if ya were another purple but knowin u had no fxxkin clue what u did. like watchin a lil squeaker paint prophecies in stick figures. had to get out just to make sure i didn’t do smthn weird as hell”
“…..like what?”
He hums, gripping your chin and dragging you back down to press a soft kiss on your lips. Warm breath fans across your face as he smirks, exposing just a bit more of his fangs than was technically necessary. “show ya when we got more time ;o)”
You groaned. “This is illegal”
“fxxkin arrest me then bih” He patted your thigh, flicking his brows up.
You mutter something treasonous under your breath.
“n-y ways, u should clean urself up” He kissed your forehead. “camera crew$$$ gunna b up my a*s soon”
You sigh. “Right…” Bracing your hands on his shoulders, you push yourself to your feet. “Heaven forbid we appear to visibly be a couple”
“rite? gross lmao”
You shake your head and smile as you head for the door. “Right. Gross.”
“hey.”
Before you can turn around he’s wrapped his arms around you from behind, fitting you neatly to him. He leans down to bury his face in your shoulder, and despite the circumstances that lead you here, you know the only motivation is a desire for closeness. “let me do u up next time” He mumbles, voice rumbling against the skin of your neck. “not mine, but….somethin a yours. find out who u are, ya feel?”
…..You cover his hands your own, squeezing them tight and biting your lip to hide a grin. “….bold of you to assume there’ll be a next time, bozo”
“c’mon, we both kno u can’t resist the idea of my touchstumps all up in ur nugbone hehe ;o)”
“Sure that sentence would be very sexy to someone who isn’t an alien.” You turn in his grip to face him probably. “….love you.”
“aw, babe, that’s gay lol”
“I taught you what that means and you weaponize it against me? Treason.”
“i’m 1 naughty m-fer.” He kissed your forehead. “love ya 2”
“And…..hope you aren’t attached to this shirt.”
“…wha-”
Acting fast, you yank up his shirt and scrape it across your face, taking as much greasepaint off as you could before breaking free of his grip and bolting out the door. Loud, clowny curse words chase you as you tear through the halls, a smile threatening to break your face in half as you ran.
The road to vengeance is long sometimes, but it sure is sweet.

i finally rewatched Us watching for details... I also took a bunch of screenshots, I’ve mentioned before I live in santa cruz and grew up going to this boardwalk so im obsessed with this movie, I’m going to go try to take some better comparison shots sometime (here’s a few I took before) (and here’s a Tethered mannequin that was outside of the frightwalk for a while. i havent been inside for ages so I don’t know if they moved him inside or if he’s just gone now) (i HOPE they did something with the theme considering the frightwalk is literally a horror attraction beneath the boardwalk. i dont really want to go in there by myself though lmao. not a fan of animatronics jumping out and screaming at me) 
this is a lot, i have many things to say 
Tumblr media
-----------------
Tumblr media
- the opening news segment is 11 at 11 
Tumblr media
- you can faintly see adelaide/red’s reflection in the tv screen, with a toy rabbit (her shirt also has twin lines on it in multiple places but that could be looking too far lmao) 
- in the “Hands Across America” segment (aside from the obvious red figures linked together in the logo) : “from the golden gate bridge to the twin towers” another possible 11/twinning, and it starts in california, which is where the tethered revolution begins 
- on “from sea to shining sea” the exact same coastline image is just flipped 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(there’s also another 11 on the side of the TV here) 
- “This summer, 6 million people will tether themselves together” 
Tumblr media
- brief mirroring in the boardwalk ad, not just two girls running on the beach but also two girls with upside down reflections in the ground, 
Tumblr media
- fairly obvious one, but “find yourself” (as a sidenote there’s nothing in that spot irl, the roller coaster and the swings are real but there was never a ‘vision quest’ or a ‘merlin forest’ as far as I know and there’s no door or anything there either, the interior shots must’ve been done separately somewhere else) (nothing’s left here from the movie now either, I have no idea when they filmed it because I never saw anything or heard anything about it) 
- adelaide/red whistles “the itsy bitsy spider” when the lights go out in the vision quest - “down came the rain and washed the spider out,” it’s raining outside when her tethered comes up (and she is dragged down). she also drops her red apple on the ground before she enters 
Tumblr media
- zora’s rabbit shirt 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- everyone else is eating fast food of some kind, except adelaide, who is eating red strawberries 
as well as being a visual cue, its possible she has an aversion to meat if she was forced to eat raw rabbit as a child
Tumblr media
- young adelaide arranging animals in the sand (it seems like some of the tethered tend to mirror their counterpart’s movements, so it’s possible she’s mirroring red, though it’s probably not that likely she’d be planning this early/the dance hasnt happened yet so its probably just foreshadowing) 
- young adelaide very pointedly watches “her” mother crying, saying “I just want my little girl back” - she will never have her little girl back again, though she doesn’t know it (I’m not sure if adelaide still remembers what she’s done at this point either) 
its also mentioned that ‘grandma’ has passed away as of the present time, likely adelaide’s mother (i dont remember if its stated outright but since the house belonged to the grandma, and it’s in santa cruz, that would line up) so. the tethered mother, if she’s still alive, would not kill red’s real mother in the uprising. dont know about the father, or if red knows/cares about this, but. thats there. that also means the original mother will never know what happened with her daughter (likely the father won’t either, it’s not clear if he’s still alive but there’s no mention of him being around/he’s not at the house so it seems likely he passed already too) 
Tumblr media
- adelaide, her reflection, and a (not so) itsy bitsy spider 
Tumblr media
theres even two spiders, one a toy, one real 
- jason crawls out of a cabinet at zora’s feet and scares her while she’s looking in a mirror (which is also a very pluto-like movement) 
Tumblr media
- adelaide finds the toy rabbit in a box; assuming the intro was chronological, we saw “her” with it in the tv screen reflection before she went to the boardwalk, so this was red’s rabbit first (she probably does not remember this, though) (red also later finds this and cuts off the head, not sure why though)
Tumblr media
- adelaide “sees” her child self in the room with her (in her memory) learning her dance alongside her reflection
Tumblr media
 but the reflection is the one she “sees” looking directly at her 
(she’s also interrupted by hearing her son, above her, screaming because he’s trapped, but that might not be intentional) (though when red comes down here later, she is also interrupted by her son getting stuck in the closet too)
Tumblr media
- she’s also wearing a choker necklace with a matching gold bracelet, maybe an allusion to. the choking and the handcuffs, again i might be looking into it too much, but. the white clothes which steadily become red with blood seems very intentional so i wouldnt be surprised if the jewelry was planned specifically too 
Tumblr media
- its really hard to see and its a split second throwaway comment but kitty goes “oh isnt that beautiful” showing her the magazine and i thhiiiink thats a white girl in a native american headdress :’  ) probably doesnt have. much deeper meaning other than ‘clueless white friends’ but 
Tumblr media
- guy buried in sand comes bursting to the surface again and scares his friends (also eyyooooo you can see the wharf in the background im down there all the time) (sorry this is still wild to me. i grew up here ive been to that beach like 9 million times)
- i didnt catch it and was waiting for it to be shown again and it wasnt and i dont want to go back for it but anyway jason has a drawing of a bunch of people holding hands in a line like the hands across america thing in his room, theres a lot of drawings around and we see his drawing of the first untethered, so he probably drew that as well
- jason has a hard time communicating, but he seems to use drawing as a way to express himself. he doesn’t tell his mother about the encounter with the old man (and only shrugs when he’s asked about it) but he does draw it. adelaide found self expression through dance when she was a child before she was able to talk, so he probably got those traits from her. her voice also goes low and hollow on the line “I just didn’t know if you were lost, or... taken” 
- her voice also gets very strange when she’s talking about her memory of the encounter in the vision quest. low, shaky, harsh. its fascinating hearing how much alike the voices are (obviously they’re both the same actress/if the tethered are clones it makes sense that they’d have identical vocal chords but like. red’s got a fucked up voice. hearing echos of that in adelaide is wild and i didnt notice it at all before) 
- its not clear whether adelaide actually remembers what she did, or even realizes she was the copy - is she trying to protect her family from what she believes was the girl who almost took her, or trying to stop her from getting her revenge? she describes the event to gabe as if she was the one who was attacked but escaped, and im not sure if she’s lying or has convinced herself that’s the truth
something’s going on with jason and pluto too but I don’t quite know what it is. when we first see jason he’s wearing a Jaws shirt, kind of a similar vibe to the thriller shirt, and when the tethered arrive he’s wearing a white tuxedo t shirt, white matching his mother’s white outfit. the others all go off to kill their doubles but pluto holds jason’s hand, sits with him quietly, watches his magic trick, he’s told to go “play” which. obviously has a violent undertone to it but he doesn’t actually try to kill him. i dont even remember seeing him with the scissors. why are jason and pluto different. why does pluto get stuck mirroring jason’s movements even to the point of his death but the others dont. why didn’t adelaide mirror red
i guess its possible its because pluto is the youngest in the family so maybe he hasn’t broken out of his connection yet? they didnt really ever explain how they learned to do that 
and as for the connection with adelaide it. could just be that jason takes after his mom more and zora takes after her dad more but that seems too simple. i mean theres the theory going around that jason was actually switched with his clone too at some point and its got some good points (jason forgetting the magic trick, getting stuck in the closet again, etc) but theres a whole line of logic to debunk that too so its just. What’s Going On Here  
Tumblr media
cal 11 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i took the first pic to get a comparison shot at the same place later irl but then noticed the ambulance they come across is the same one (#2) they saw earlier 
Tumblr media
pretty obvious but the real rabbit comes out through the picture of an identical rabbit (there’s also probably a “rabbit hole” allusion here) 
Tumblr media
i noticed this before too but now i have a screenshot of it, im the rabbit in the background just chilling on the floor during the climax here
Tumblr media
- im sure i must have seen this before but i forgot about it. the 11:11 guy’s tethered didn’t have a sign so he just.......carved it into his head
Tumblr media
- it never healed, either, he did it badly enough to scar
- red says “I couldn’t stop thinking about you, how you could have taken me with you” - she doesn’t mean adelaide ran off and left her there. adelaide made the choice to trap her in the underground. its possible red might have even been thinking how she would have let adelaide come with her if given the chance, which. i mean, i dont know how her parents would have reacted to suddenly having identical twins out of nowhere, but like. knowing there’s a chance red might have accepted her. and all this could have been different 
Tumblr media
this is definitely a movie that’s not really intended to be fully explained, there’s a lot of questions that aren’t really supposed to be answered, but nonetheless one of my biggest concerns is where do the clothes come from underground. red tells us they were all abandoned down there generations ago so nobody’s supervising or providing anything. how do they end up with copies of the clothing their counterparts are wearing. and here adelaide has a messed up faded old shirt that either looks similar to red’s shirt or is the same shirt just badly damaged, she switches it with red’s before she goes out for good so that explains how she gets the new shirt, but where did this one come from. why is it different if the other clothes aren’t
and of course there’s the whole question of “where did they all get these red jumpsuits from” but again. questions that aren’t really the point, i guess

A Vmin song? - The smiley theory
Ok, I think some of you might have already seen people talk about it, but I wanted to collect all the pieces in one place. I don’t want to get my hopes up, but looking at everything I at least have to consider the possibility of Vmin doing or releasing something on Jimin’s birthday tomorrow.
First Taehyung had a smiley drawn on his face yesterday for the concert.
Tumblr media
It could simply be because in the Arabic alphabet there is a sign looking like a smiley ت which is pronounced as "Tae". But let me go on anyways. Because Tae also posted a tweet.
Tumblr media
In the tweet you see he added two smileys, one upside down and one the right way.
Some people noticed it matched the smiley Jimin had, which looks to be upside down, in the photo from the video about A NEW SUPERHERO from the Army Zip Teaser.
Before we look closer at the photo I want to also just point out that in the video they mention something coming in 19.10. And also that it ends with the text “A NEW SUPERHERO ”.
I mostly bring this up because Tae also drew and pointed at the smiley for Anpanman which is about being a hero as well.
So, let’s look at the picture of Jimin more closely.
Tumblr media
He has “You” on one arm, and “Happy song” with the smiley on his hand along with the dates 0613 - 1013. Which are BTS’s birthday and Jimin’s birthday.
This is why people now wonder if something will happen for Jimin’s birthday. But I also want to remind you of Taehyung on Weverse yesterday.
He was playing with ARMY and while doing so used his+bts’s birthday as a password.
Tumblr media
Later on he also used Jimin’s birthday. He posted about it at exactly 10.13 korean time as well.
Tumblr media
Meaning that Tae brought up his own birthday, but more importantly both 0613 and 1013 which we can see on Jimin’s tattoos in the photo.
Tumblr media
Note the little markings on Jimin’s hand. They match perfectly with JK’s tattoo.
Tumblr media
In his tattoo the A can also look like a V and you have a JM as well. Meaning you have a V and JM which are also upside down from each other, just like the smileys.
Jimin also has FINE written on his neck in the video, and going with the upside down theme we have the Save me vs I’m fine parallells BTS have been doing a lot.
Tumblr media
So, it’s possible this is all part of a bigger concept with the BU and we will see some of these things explained in the album “Shadow”.
Going back to Tae on weverse he also drew two pictures which we were supposed to guess the meaning of.
The first picture was this one.
Tumblr media
I think it’s possible that this is supposed to be JK. Looking at the big eyes, teeth and perhaps even bunny ears?
Why I find this interesting is because the answer to this picture was “polite hands”. Meaning that Tae could possibly want us to pay attention to JK’s hands?
The second picture Tae posted was this one.
Tumblr media
He then posted a zoomed in picture, also telling us to look at things from a different “vantage point”. 
Tumblr media
Possibly he could be telling us to look differently at something we have already been looking at? Or for us to look deeper? I don’t know but if they are planning something this could be encouragement to look and theorize with these specific things.
Fans then speculated if the pic could have been Jimin in Paris because of the Eiffel tower and the similarity to Jimin eating ice cream.
Tumblr media
Then Jimin of course also showed up himself and we got some cute Vmin interactions.
Tumblr media
Tae left only one minute after Jimin asked him to come over when he was done.
But back to the song theory and the possible clues for the next comeback. The Happy song could also be a hint as it’s possibly connected to an umbrella.
Tumblr media
This could be another connection to the BU where we have the umbrella being used as a symbol in relation to BTS and specifically Jimin a lot. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
It’s even what Jimin receives in the Magic Shop in Fake Love.
Tumblr media
It could be completely unrelated and other BTS members have posted about umbrellas as well, but in august Taehyung also tweeted when he was singing, and used a umbrella symbol.
Tumblr media
So not really related to Vmin, but rather just Shadow as a whole. Maybe the two aren’t conected, but I wanted to bring up the Umbrella thing anyways, since it’s possible the clues are about the comeback and not Vmin specifically.
Tumblr media
Still, all of these small things are just interesting and if they mean that we will get something, possibly even a Vmin song (Happy song?) on Jimin’s birthday I am honestly a bit scared.
If we get a Vmin song on Jimin’s birthday and all of these things are legit, if we can possibly add this onto the already existing Vmin song connections (which also has some connections to each of their birthdays) it will add a lot to my already huge Vmin song theories. As well as their possible hints from PERSONA.
Vmin - Scenery, Promise and song connections
Vmin - Winter Bear analysis
So, PERSONA huh
Basically I am really curious to see if we will get anything tomorrow, but I don’t want to get my hopes up too much either.
Let me know what you think. I hope you enjoyed reading this. I really wanted to post yesterday, but tumblr has been really weird and not letting me save my post or adding photos so I had to redo the post several times… T__T
Anyways, let’s wait and see what happens. :)

3x14 and 3x15 Andi Mack scene by scene recap + my unnecessary opinions lol
Forewarning: as from the title these ARE spoilers to the episodes if you haven’t seen it. I’m tagging spoilers out but there’s still a chance they could be seen. Also, I’m giving a scene by scene recap with my opinions of the show. I’ve been requested to do the recap but I also want to talk about what I thought from these episodes in more detail than my post yesterday. So for the most part it’ll be factual but I’m really invested in these two episodes so I’ll definitely be adding my own twang. It’s virtually impossible for me not to recap my own hype for the episodes lol. Hope you’re a Muffy and Tyrus stan bc I’ve got some cOnTeNt for you ❤️
Ok here. we. go.
3x14
Scene starts in the spoon. It’s Andi, Muffy, and Cyrus. Muffy and Cyrus talk about Andi’s parents not getting married while Amber overhears. She gets upset and asks why. Andi clarifies her parents aren’t married, but still together and Amber makes the comment, “unlike my house. My parents are still married but barely together”. Which gets some awks looks from the table. Andi tells them she’s not sad, but angry. Then she says that B&B (Bex and Bowie) said she’s entitled to her feelings to which Cyrus claims as being manipulative?? (Still don’t see how, but he explains that they are playing dodgeball and b&b are on one side and Andi on the other. She has a ball of anger she wants to throw, but they’re ready for it. So if she throws it, they’ll catch it and then she basically can’t show her anger- he’s obviously been listening to his counseling parents hahaha). Andi asks where she can throw her anger ball (lol) so Amber takes her to a sledge hammer place (Rage Cage) where everyone is in individual cages that have old items that you just beat up with a sledge hammer.
*opening song*
Andi is laying on her bed and gets a really excited phone call from CeCe about the wedding to which Andi feels guilty. She tries to tell Bex to tell CeCe it’s cancelled but Bex refuses bc the next day is CeCe’s bday. This scene had some really good acting BTW (I’ll probably tell you when this happens too bc honestly props to the actors. And the cinematography and music in these two episodes is beautiful. Literally made me feel like I was watching a movie).
Buffy runs up to Marty at a bench and he gets a big dimple smile bc why wouldn’t he be excited to see her?? Lol Buffy starts mocking Marty’s shoes because they have toe inserts and that’s when he tells her they are for a marathon. Buffy gets confused (and lowkey upset) she didn’t know about the marathon and Marty is all, “we have a lot of catching up to do” and I’m all (you have a lot of dating to do because my soul has been empty this past season without you. #RIPME 😭 ⚰️). So Buffy gets all flirty competitive and says she wants to race as well. Marty tries to talk her out of it bc he’s worried about an injury, dehydration, etc. but this is Buffy we’re talking about and she insists she can do it and then runs away lol, but Marty can’t help the love he feels for her and smiles sheepishly as he goes to run away with her (very metaphoric. I love)
Jonah and Cyrus are walking and Cyrus invites Jonah to see a meteor shower in his backyard for a campout (good Jyrus moment if you ship that) Jonah makes a lame joke about not having a s’more in awhile and so he has “s’less”- Cyrus tells him not to hurt himself making that joke 😂😂
B&B and Andi are at a restaurant waiting for CeCe & Ham. CeCe shows up and tells everyone Ham went back to India.
Cyrus and Jonah go into a beautifully set up tent where Cyrus obviously had to out-do himself and make everything in the tent extra. I love a gay interior design queen.
Back at the restaurant, CeCe says Ham went to India for rest. CeCe makes some really weird remark about seeing him again (yikes) and the rest make comments about him doing what he needs to do and that they have to accept it and not take each other for granted. Very subtextual of the real situation, but also a great way to write off his character and play into Bex worrying about cancelling the wedding. She showed fear like she wouldn’t want to say anything to CeCe bc he’s gone, but since CeCe was ok with him leaving, Bex calmed down too. Just really well done. CeCe tried to show Bex venue photo’s and Bex tried to stop her but then Bex just says she had a problem mailing the wedding invites *cliff hanger*
Cyrus and Jonah back at the tent. Jonah is panicking about dying in Cyrus’ backyard and Cyrus brings meat into the tent but makes it all flirty and weird- I don’t ship Jyrus but the whole thing lowkey felt like they were trying to impress Jyrus shippers with date vibes haha (also the meat is BAD if you’re camping bc animals can get to you). Then an animal hits their tent at (obviously) the right time
CeCe now knows the wedding is off and is PiSsEd™️. The waiters are all completely unaware and don’t know how to read the room so they bring a sparkler cake. CeCe flips the sparkler upside down, shoves it in the cake, and exits as dramatically as possible. Leaving the mustached waiter with an awkward face like:
Tumblr media
Then there was this weird commercial on my app promoting season 2 like bish you already know I watched that season at least twice don’t play me like that
Back to the pointless tent scene (for real- this scene was just filler. You rip off Tyrus FOR THIS? Actual homophobia). Jonah mispronounces some weird thing (and Cyrus says don’t hurt yourself again) and then breaks the tent. Cyrus makes a failed attempt at opening the tent with a cheese knife but Shazam! saves the day by telling Cyrus not to hurt himself and opening the tent with the same cheese knife (honestly, weird flex but ok). They escape and are saved and watch a poorly CGI’d meteor shower like two old men on their front porch. and yippee five minutes of wasted screen time are over. I don’t care if you ship Jyrus. It was a waste of time when we could have been focusing on the TeA of the show. *rant over- no worries. Many more to come*
Back to important matters, Muffy is now running their race. Marty doesn’t want to race. He just wants to finish in under 4 hours and Buffy wants to finish under his time. Buffy agrees with Mr. Party at first, but then hears the word “race” and bolts away like Lightning McQueen.
Bex and Andi back at the house. Bex says it went bad with CeCe bc she won’t even act like Bex exists. Andi realizes her anger and knows where to take her (you guessed it. RAGe CAGe- Andi said it wasn’t for Bex lol so she wouldn’t tell Bex where she was going with CeCe 😂 the shade)
Marty is jogging along like a middle aged white woman and sees Buffy wheezing. He gets all husband like and concerned as he catches her in his arms. (Which reminds me of a pic I saw on Tumblr where they drew her in his arms but laced it with the “Miss Keisha” vine and I was here for it). Then Marty and Buffy put their arms around each other and he escorts her to a bench. (Just saying, everyone knows Tyrus is going to involve a bench scene but as us loyal fans know, Muffy shadows Tyrus and they have also encountered two (2) benches thus far. Coincidence? Maybe. Will I believe it was a coincidence? Absolutely not). Then he puts her on the bench and acts all cute and paramedic and concerned. He’s been taking doc notes at General Hospital obviously. (He even mentions taking her to a doctor). Buffy is all like, “Run your race Marty. 4 1/2 hours. [I’m the supportive girlfriend you hoe].” And he doesn’t want to leave her and she accuses him of being a martyr? Then she snaps at him (like tf) to go away and he gets all angsty™️ and runs off and my heart broke bc I was not ready for a Muffy battle.
Andi and CeCe at the Rage Cage... rage. In a cage.
Marty comes running back to Buffy with a dimple smile again bc he knows she was trying to “White Fang” him from a movie they saw together (❤️). To “White Fang” is for the boy in the movie to send the wolf away, wolf doesn’t want to leave, so the boy throws rocks at him to make him go. Buffy is caught (but she ain’t mad) and I need to quote this part word for word bc it’s TOO CUTE 🥰🥰🥰
B: You’re the one who said we should run our own race
M: That’s what I’m doing
B: Wanna sit here with me?
M: No. I wanna cross the finish line with you 😭😭😭
And that, my friends, was the day my heart ripped in half from joy
Then he picks her up and they put their arms around each other (I seriously can’t. They made me cry last night and lowkey I thought it was bc I was tired but I’m fully energized and watery eyed... sooo....) then Marty makes a joke about them running and Buffy goes, “you’re hilarious” and his voice gets all soft and he looks at her all gentle and goes, “you finally figured that out” AND PLEASE TERRI STOP IT HURTS. But no, the scene CONTINUES BECAUSE MY HEART APPARENTLY COULD TAKE THAT (lies). And the scene changes and now Marty is PIGBACKING HER ACROSS THE FINISH LINE THREE HOURS LATER. LIKE STOP. STOP. I CAN’T HANDLE THESE TENDER MOMENTS. (Seriously they were together an extra three hours with him helping her. I’m WeAk). And they both get medals and Buffy compliments him so he gets all happy and tells her to keep going, but she runs out of compliments so he goes, “ok, I just wanted to see how deep that well went” with his eyes darting all over her face and then the music shifts to almost like progressive-romantic music as BUFFY PUTS HER ARM BACK AROUND HIM AND THEY WALK AWAY (the music was placed so we knew they were having a moment) and that was the exact moment I died. MY PARENTS. (Watched this scene 3 times and will 100% watch it at least 1000 more).
Tumblr media
Then Andi sees Amber raging. In a cage. She’s like “excuse me? What are you doing here” and Amber is all mad at Jonah and Andi’s all break up with your boyfriend yeah yeah cuz I’m bored. And Amber wasn’t here for it because apparently she thinks she’s in love with Jonah now? (with tears in her eyes... I mean, love to me isn’t that angry and hating everything he does [he only sent her six emoji’s apparently and just isn’t there for her] that it drives you to physical violence but ok)-(but good acting along with the last Muffy scene but I’m sure ya’ll picked up on that from my synopsis lol)
3x15
FYI this synopsis won’t be AS long, but that’s because Muffy is absent and I have an unexpresible love for them and this episode also sent me over the EDGE with Tyrus 🙄😤🙃 but I’ll do what I can with Tyrus bc it’s still gay and angsty and I was here for that part of it (also I love the Terri devoted two separate episodes to Tyrus and Muffy. Like she really knows this Friendom and what will keep us watching lol)
Unnecessary opening scene with B&B and Andi going to the movie instead of spending time on their phones (it was cute but unnecessary. I liked in the last episode that the rage cage in the beginning scene actually tied into the episode)
*opening credits*
Buffy and Cyrus watching Kira and TJ like hawks from the bench far away and Buffy is confused af about it. She asks Cyrus and he gets all angsty (I WILL over use this word bc it’s too accurate for this episode, wait til you actually see it) and goes “I don’t know” *shoulder shrug* “I haven’t been hanging out with TJ lately”
Buffy: because of that?
Cyrus: they’ve been pretty much attached at the hip (then Kira has the AUDACITY to jump on TJ’s back) and the back. They look happy.
B: it won’t last. Kira’s not a nice person. Only took me a day to figure that out. Since he’s a GUY, it’ll take longer.
Cloud 10 with Bex and Andi discussing Bex and CeCe making up, but in front of CeCe. CeCe is still PiSsEd™️. Bex tries to talk to her and BEGS to make up with her mom but her mom is cold and I felt Bex’s pain. (Great acting in this scene too. I just wanted to hug Bex. Like did you really have to do her a dirty like that? With Tyrus and Bex, this episode is starting to feel like 3x13 again and I thought we all agreed to never speak of that episode ever again)
Cyrus is sitting all angsty and alone with some frozen yogurt in front of a greenhouse? Literally no idea where he is at but it’s such a mood lol and even funnier that TJ found him there. Like where are they?? Hahahaha but ANYWAY, TJ sits down and confronts Cyrus about avoiding him. Cyrus says he isn’t but TJ is like “kinda feels like it”. Cyrus tries to say that TJ has been occupied with Kira taking up his time and TJ denies that hard. And here’s the TEA sis:
Cyrus: you two are clearly hitting it off. Which is great. I’m happy for you guys.
TJ: you make it sound like we’re a couple. We’re not. We mostly just talk about basketball.
C: and then you give her a piggy back ride?
T: she bet me I couldn’t carry her. That was all
Then TJ tried to tell Cyrus to hangout with them more and Cyrus rejects that bc Kira knows Cyrus is Buffy’s best friend. Then Kira comes in to hoe around the scene and sits at the table. Says “heyyyy” all flirty to TJ 😒 and “hi Cyrus” direct and cold to Cyrus. Then becomes the most fake hoeeeee when pretending to agree with TJ that they should hang out more with Cyrus. Cyrus YEETS outta there and Mr. heart eyes looks like he created depression (it was that prevalent). Kira gets all needy and is like, “hellooo? I’m over here” and TJ just looks at her with the fakest angsty smile. Like why.
At the spoon, the GHC AND Jonah are sitting and Andi tells of this store called Mint Chip where they burn clothes rather than donate them bc it would make the brand look bad and lose sales if it’s with charity. Like??? Ok you actually look better with charity sooooo take two steps back B. Buffy gets the taste of wanting to be a bad guy (cue bad guy by Billie Eilish) and they all go dumpster diving and get the clothes from Mint Chip’s dumpster. Not much happens other than them stealing clothes and Buffy says her ankle hurts so she can’t get in the dumpster. IDK if that’s from the dehydration last episode (bc when she’s walking with Marty 😍 she’s limping) or if she fell wrong at the dumpster. It’s foreshadowing bc I know she has a hurt foot in a later episode so not sure where it will come in or why.
The kids have an outdoor “sidewalk sale” where they give away the free clothes from mint chip and some lady comes and gets a coat. She shows up later in the episode to tell Bex and CeCe about the sale but they do nothing. It was really weirdly staged like this character had more importance in the episode and got cut or she has importance later on. IDK? She just got a ton of screen time for it to go nowhere so we’ll see. And Cyrus is a Queen and styled some guy for an interview and Buffy is a Queen and styled a lady for a first online date. Then Jonah is just himself and doesn’t know what a pencil skirt is. *cue clothing sale montage with Jonah being a player and talking to lots of girls and the GHC+Jonah looking all sweet looking at pics from the day*
B&B get a wedding gift from Celia. It’s a snow globe from the night Bowie proposed, but since it’s mailed, was sent before CeCe knew about the cancellation. Bex tries to write her a thank you card but can’t and cries through it (great acting here too- Bex just takes the cake on acting TBH)
At the sale, Cyrus shows Buffy a shirt he wants to give to TJ (which isn’t a hoodie, surprisingly). He takes a pic & sends it to him to ask if he likes it and Buffy says “it’ll look good with his eyes” and Cyrus is all “it WILL 😍”
Buffy: he’s gonna like it. Why don’t you just give it to him?
C: I thought about that. I’m not sure how much he’s want that.
B: a free shirt??
C: ME. Giving him a free shirt.
B: there’s a great way to find out
C: what is it?
B: *forcing the shirt back to Cyrus* give him the shirt. Maybe it’ll mean something to him. Maybe it won’t. Either way, it’s a nice thing to do [seriously though I stan a Tyrus Ally]
C: it’s TJ. Thumbs up on the shirt *replying to Teej lol* you should come by the sale. It’s amazing. *back to the Vampire Slayer* was that too braggy?
B: not braggy enough
C: TJ *reading the message* I’m at the park *back to Buffy* what do you think that means?
B: he wants you to meet him?
C: you think
B: why else would he tell you where he is?
C: should I bring the shirt? I’m gonna being the shirt. *walks away and comes back* the shirt feels weird
B: then don’t take it
C: *walks away and comes back*
B: *whilst saying nothing hands Cyrus the shirt with a loving, yet so over Cyrus’ gay angst expression*
C: he’s gonna be expecting it... so I’m just gonna- yeah *yeets out of there in gay*
Kira and TJ at the park. Kira asks who TJ is texting and he says no one 😤 so TJ suggests feeding the ducks and Kira decides to hoe around yet again and suggests swinging first. She’s all flirty and TJ is ~not straight and not here for it~. He’s all like “I’m not five” like he doesn’t go swinging and Kira gets all competitive over who can swing higher and makes comments reflecting his and Cyrus’ convo which gets him to get on the swing (reluctantly) and also she is on Cyrus’ swing?? So umm? Get tf off???? And that’s when Cyrus pops around a tree, shirt in hand, to see THAT DISGUSTING MOCKERY OF A FRIENDSHIP I HATE IT SO MUCH??? EWWWW. And he’s all sad and angsty and jealous so he walks away **AND AS HE’S WALKING AWAY DOES A LOOK BACK SOOOOOOOOOO HE IS FOR SURE IN LOVE FREAKING HECK I CAN’T** and I just want to hug my boi and I can’t hug him and ugh 😭😭😭 my sad tears are here.
So Cyrus sees Buffy and tells her TJ was with Kira so that makes Buffy all annoyed (she’s a real one). Cyrus becomes a liar and says they’re “good together” again. Buffy tries to reassure him it won’t last, but Cyrus isn’t sure and now has this shirt he doesn’t know what to do with. He gives it to Jonah and says he has nice eyes too??? Like umm? Rebound much, Cyrus?? Like Boo. Don’t do that. I’m here for YOU. Jonah then tells some woman about how they pulled off the clothing shop and a police officer shows up. They don’t have a license to sell and never bought the clothing so they can’t give it for free. Next thing you know Bex is getting a call (after trying to make things right with CeCe AGAIN and more A+ acting.. seriously though freaking FORGIVE HER ALREADY SHE IS DOING EVERYTHING SHE CAN) and runs with CeCe to go help bail the GHC+Jonah out of jail (this was also after the woman in the coat makes a 2 second appearance at cloud 10 to talk about the sale and NOTHING HAPPENS WITH HER SO WHY). The scene ends with the cell door closing so I hope next episode maybe this scare freaks CeCe enough into making up with Bex. But IDK.
I’ve got many mixed feelings about these episodes. Hope you enjoyed my highly detailed and opinionated synopsis of the show 😂😂 can’t wait for next week!! ❤️

My family fosters rescue dogs (mostly pit bulls) but about a year ago we foster failed with a pitty who was bonded with the most grumpy Yorkie. Rescue animals are so sweet.... they're always so skittish at first bc is they've only been used to cold bleak shelters or not even.,,, is phenomenal to see them a year- hell maybe even a month or two- being in a good home. They're so good. Animals are so sweet. God. Sorry I just. *clenches fish* love my dogs past and present
dude your love for dogs is so fuckin valid ok another story time because FUCK im emotional tonight lads 
but aside from my story in the ‘keep reading’, every and all animals deserve love (and humans are animals too even tho we assholes sometimes we deserve love), lil puppies and kittens are the most loving little blessings you’ll ever meet and it baffles me every day that people would even consider abusing them in any way like i put a curse onto your house for that
one of my babies- his name is drew but we call him ‘drewcula’ sometimes because he looks like a bat and he has sharp fangs right. he used to be my sister’s office dog because he had two broken front legs and no one really wanted him so while he was recoverin he was just hobble around the office (he’s also gotten a lot of back-leg strength because of this and he likes to sit like a prairie dog and its so cute)
i remember when i first met him because i thought he was my cat; i was in the middle of drawing and i felt something touch my butt and since lisa lisa would do that i assumed it was her but when i turned around???? “whomst the fuck is this lil cutie” and next thing you know my sister walks in like “yeah the office said i can watch him for the weekend” and it was go like this for a few weeks until my sister just said “fuck it” and bought him
my sister told me there was word going around that they were actually going to put lil drewcula down because no one wanted him and they didnt know what else to do with him since they couldnt just keep him at the office and im like- how the fuck could any of yall even humor that because if i showed yall a pic of lil drew right now you would smack that whole office upside the head he is absolutely precious

Part 2  Part 3
Lost In The Deep End
''Are you excited for homecoming?!" You could hear an ecstatic voice from beside you at the lockers.
''Yes omg Dylan finally asked me to the dance!'' The other girl replied equally as happy. You finished putting your book into your locker and closed it shut, turning to head down the hallway seeing it was time to head home. Homecoming was tonight and fortunately for you, you managed to score a date. His name was Matthew and he was really sweet and shy. You guys were just friends of course and just decided to go as friends. He was almost like a brother you never had. You both didn't manage to get dates so you guys at the last minute decided to go together.
''What will you be wearing tonight?!'' Another shrieked voice squealed. 
''Oh that is so beautiful omg your going to be stunning!" These were just a few of the things you have been hearing for the past two weeks. Seeing homecoming was tonight everyone seemed to be extra hyped. The guys not so much as the girls though. For you it was just a dance, you wanted to dress up and in a beautiful dress and dance with your friends through the night. So yes you were excited, just in a different way to many of the other girls. You had your outfit planned out, but decided to wear flats with the dress seeing you were going to be dancing and heels were not going to be a good option. You could barely walk in heels, you loved them yes but your feet always seemed to ache 30 minutes in to wearing them. 
''Hey Y/N!'' You turned around at the mention of your name being called out. You spun around once you exited the school doors to see a beaming Peter race up behind you.
''Whoa, slow down Usain Bolt!'' You joke as he came hurdling towards you. He stopped, slightly out of breath and wiped the sweat that had collected on his forehead. Peter and you had been neighbours since you were in diapers. You practically grew up with Peter. As an observant person yourself apart from your best friend MJ you noticed that his behaviour has been on and off for the past nine months. No matter how many times you tried asking him about it or snooping you never got to figure it out. You were worried to start with when he started turning up to school with bruises covered with poorly applied makeup. You would ask him what had happened and he would refuse to tell you. You often grew angry with him, helping him cover up his bruises better with some of your makeup you kept in your school backpack. 
''Trust me it's nothing... bad'' He would always say, not really sure how to put it. You could never stay mad at Peter so often you would just smiled and shake your head, helping him. You guys weren't close as to say but during the time you started helping him cover his 'bruises' that he got from 'falling over' you guys had inevitably became... close. You never saw Peter in any other way apart from platonic. Yeah you thought he was cute and very smart but you were often attracted to the bad guys who often left you with a broken heart. Peter always there seeming to pick up the pieces. That's when you first started falling for him, he was the only one truly there for you so you couldn't help it. I mean... how could you not fall for a guy like Peter Benjamin Parker.
''What's up dork?'' You asked out sarcastically as he stopped in front of you. He just shook his head at the nickname you use for him. 
''Your going to be at homecoming tonight, right?'' He asks, fiddling with his backpack straps. You smile. You two began to walk out the entrance together, heading home.
''Yeah, Me and Matthew are heading together as friends'' You cringed on the inside when you added the extra 'friends' bit on the end. 
''Matthew and I'' Peter corrects causing you to playfully push his shoulder.
''Whatever'' You replied back causing the both of you to laugh. You both stopped around the corner once you saw the burned down deli shop you both head to often. You sighed once you saw it, hearing what happened not a week ago. Peter follows your eye sight and clenches his jaw once he sees what you were looking at.
''Isn't it scary?'' You ask out rhetorically. Peter stumbled over his words, not realising you were just speaking aloud. 
''Well y-yeah definitely- not that I would know or anything- you know... Hmm yup definitely... scary'' He would finish causing you to laugh at the boy. 
''How one moment everythings going... fine then the next out of nowhere...'' You trailed off, your eyes not leaving the scene. 
''Your whole world flips upside down'' Peter glanced at you, admiring the way you were lost deep in thought. He couldn't help but to shake this nagging feeling he got when looking at you. Almost like this moment was too good to be true. But what really concerned him was the worry he felt. Why was he worried? He drew it down to his date with Liz at homecoming tonight. He had finally asked out his crush and he was over the moon! He had asked May to teach him some dance moves and dragged out to go shopping for a tux and tie. 
You glance down to your watch to see the time. 4:36pm.
''Shit I gotta go'' You said aloud, pulling Peter from his thoughts. 
''Hmm?'' He asks, not hearing what you had just said.
''I gotta get ready!'' You rushed out excitedly, turning on your heel to beginning running down the footpath towards home.
''It doesn't start till 7!'' He calls after you. You stopped where you were and turned around with a sheepish smile.
''Yeah but I need to get ready!'' You called back.
''You have an hour and twenty four minutes!'' He yells back, causing you to laugh. You turn back around and begin to run. 
''One hour and twenty three minutes!'' He calls out after you laughing.
''Shut it Parker!" You called back. He knew you liked to take your time getting ready, as did most girls. He often teased you about it, how long you took to get ready for school. With a smile on his face he follow your direction, walking. He was in no rush seeing all he had to do was shower and change.
~Home (an hour later)
Once you tidied up your dress a bit you reached for your phone, pulling up Peter's contact.
To DorkyDiaper- Reveal time?
You put your phone down quickly and went over to your window, pulling the curtains across so you could see Peter's window. Luckily Peter's bedroom was right across yours so you guys often use to stay up late talking to each other out the window. There was only about two meters difference between your window and his. 
From DorkyDiaper- Look out your window.
You read the text then looked up out the window. His curtain was now drawn and you could see him perfectly, standing there in very fitting tux, his hair gelled back. He looked hot. You reached for your phone to send another text.
To DorkyDiaper- do a twirl.
He looks at his phone then back up at you confused. You just nod your head excitedly. He rolls his eyes and does what you asked, doing a turn. Once he spun back around to face you, you smiled, clapping your hands together.
From DorkyDiaper- Your turn. 
You put your phone back down and stood up, twirling around in your outfit. You did your makeup to match your outfit, painting your lips red and your eyes shadow a touch red as well, you added mascara and decided not to use eyeliner tonight.
His jaw dropped once he saw you. He thought you looked absolutely stunning. He swore his heart stop, once he saw your smile and your dress twirling out when you twirled, beginning to laugh when you felt the fabric move across your skin. It was one of the most gorgeous sights he's ever seen. He almost wished he had a camera to capture this moment. So that's what he did, as you were twirling he quickly grabbed his camera that was sitting on his desk, waiting for the perfect moment to snatch a pic of you. He managed to snap one of you spinning, your arms out and the biggest smile on your face. You stopped once you saw the flash and Peter instantly swore under his breath.
Not thinking anything of it you decided to pose, causing him to blush seeing he got caught taking a photo of you. You did a silly pose as he snapped a photo, causing you both to laugh. You guys did a few more silly photos.
You stopped posing and stood straight, your head slightly tilted to the side as you smiled at Peter. He could feel his breath hitch in his throat. He found you captivating in this moment. You began to smile that adorable smile he always loved. Realising this was the perfect moment he quickly snapped a pick, not caring if the flash was on or not. Once he took it he stared down at his camera, flicking through the photos. You left the window and went over to grab your purse, putting your phone and wallet inside and decided to take your jacket off, putting it over your shoulder for the meantime. 
Once Peter reached the last photo he could have sworn his heart stopped. He took in a deep breath as he stared at the photo, the one where you stood still, slightly leaning your head with a gorgeous smile. Your eyes looking straight into the camera. He saw the twinkly of happiness in your eyes as you posed, just enjoying the moment. His cheeks began to redden, seeing how your eyes held such an intense emotion that he couldn't quite put his finger on, the only thing he knew was that she was looking at you. That alone was enough for him to have his heart racing and a giddy feeling build in his stomach. He only ever felt that with Liz... but never this intense. He watched from his window as you left your room, closing the door shut behind you. He did the same, still holding the camera in his hands. He couldn't stop starring at the photo, you were just so... beautiful he couldn't help it.
''Ready Peter?'' His Aunt May asked walking into the living room where Peter currently was. With red cheeks he lifted his head and nodded quickly, turning off his camera. Aunt May gave him a weird look and shook her head, smiling to herself. That boy is such an oblivious idiot she thought as the both of them left the apartment and headed downstairs and into the car.

Episode 1 - "Time to put on a bra and take some selfies." - Leigh
Episode 1 saw eighteen players, some fresh faces, and some veterans arrive on the Indonesia beaches, ready to play and ready to win. On a somewhat quiet Obor tribe, Leigh/Trent bonded over the age difference on the tribe (with a cunning plan reliant on using the word ‘lit’) and Anabel/Trent begun to form a bond that would survive the test of time.
On the Cahaya tribe, Matt/Jess feared the casting of one another, and Julian arrived plucky and ready to avoid another prejury experience, determined to improve. Owen/Stoner quickly formed HOS 22: Bermuda, and set to work spreading their connections across the tribe, forming at trio with Julian.
After a decisive victory in the Scavenger Hunt, it was revealed the returnees would have to send two returnees to the other tribe as “infiltrators” casting a sole vote. In an attempt to force the result, Julian went “offline”, in an attempt seen-through by his fellow tribe mates, but one that was ultimately successful, with Owen & Julian sent over as infiltrators.
At Obor’s tribal council, Evan quickly emerged as an easy vote, for his minimal challenge contribution. Two key alliances formed, a newbie majority alliance of Trent/Chris O/Leigh/Anabel/Lorelei and a girls’ alliance of Lorelei/Anabel/Leigh, with Anabel armed with an idol to boot.
As expected, Evan was sent out unanimously, but not before Julian trashed on the Cahaya tribe during tribal council... in a tribal seen... by the Cahaya tribe. With Evan out, the torches still inspiring such hate, and the infiltrators returning... that drew round one to a close.
MATT
first confessional give me idol? 
also hi Jones
OWEN
okay so im walking onto the boat.... my hair is thinning, my skin is getting wrinkly, im ancient at this point. nonetheless im back for like the sixth time. or seventh, honestly who can keep track anymore. i see these like cute little new people. ANABEL's vid is AMAZING gay icon, lorelei legend likes pokemon mystery dungeon,  Leigh is near chicago, like... i literally love all these new players but then i realize NONE OF THEM WILL BE ON MY TRIBE SKADSFJH. instead? im stuck with crazy ppl. there's julian who i voted out premerge in the season I won, and Matt who was in my most recent season nnn but NOT the matt I worked with in that game. and of all people CHRIS STONER LMAO. to be fair, chris isn't that bad bc I know he'll work with me hopefully but also I know he's a good player and wouldn't hesitate to cut me out. thank god olivia and jess are here tbh. omg and just when I thought it couldn't get any worse.....a furry shows up. WHAT THE FUCKKKKKK lmao I remember foxx back from the old old days and he seems scary :(((( good news is julian said him and isaac haven't ever gotten along and that isaac has voted him out twice :') so that might be good. and i'm fairly sure stoner and jess would have my back rn i just need to talk more to them. but for real, as soon as there's a swap or something if I survive that long? bye bye returnees :) i dont see myself getting very attached to anyone at the start so ill just do my best to ride out this beginning and maybe have some fun
LEIGH
I'm looking forward to seeing how long our tribe chat is just "Hey *Tribe Member's Name*!" 
I think it could go on a while.
OWEN
chris: ditching u for the other stoner tho chris: tumblr needs an all stoner f2... 7:23 PM me: thats ok im ditching u for the gay girl from the first post me: but for now? u and me <3 7:23 PM chris: deal stoner and I rlly did speak this into existence....... it'll happen
LEIGH
So this tribe has literal children on it. 15, 16 years old. I might have to backstab ACTUAL CHILDREN!  How do I even fit in with them? Trent suggested we could buy fidget spinners.  I said maybe yoga pants and a crop top?  There are people here BORN AFTER 9/11!!!  What the fuck I didn't even know you could be born after 9/11 and be out of kindergarten. What year is it?
EVAN
Just met some other castaways, they seem pretty chill.
FOXX
What's up. So this fox has returned after an eternity of a hiatus with more grey in his muzzle and hopefully some self-awareness to go with it. I played some pretty solid games in the past but after taking a long time lurking and sort of forgetting Tumblr Survivor Crooks asked if I wanted to play despite not knowing I have played before. That's how old and irrelevant of a has-been I am. Back from the dead. I'm glad my star has faded and I can go in with a blank slate. My biggest concern is that I am not on my anxiety medication so my social interactions, especially on call, will be a lot more stilted and I'm terrified this will impair my judgment but we'll see. Right now I'm not trying to come off as a huge strategist. I made an intentionally crappy intro video, made fun of myself, and just tried to be funny without coming off too weird/desperate etc. Almost like I'm not taking this too seriously. However, already I'm noticing a patterns in how people on my tribe are. I have no fucking clue who these mammals are. People will have extensive conversations about people, twists, running jokes, etc and I'm totally lost. That hiatus really did fuck with my ability to ingratiate myself with this community. That will be a huuuuge advantage coming to dealing with the newbies since I can leverage that to not seem so threatening but right now I think I'm doing a fair job being friendly and making people laugh. I hope. God. So my thoughts on my tribemates thus far: Stoner: Vaguely know who this guy is. Aptly named. He's clearly blazed as hell but I can tell he's bright and likable. Says "oh shit" a lot and he seems like depsite his facade he's probably someone I can work with. Isaac: We talked about Overwatch a bit and he seems nice but he's not coming on my radar too strong. Jess: Definitely made a fairly strong impression on me since we're similar ages, Francophone, and we bonded over our mutual detest and hatred of furries and then I calmly sneak in the fact I am a furry an hour later and holy shit I was trying so hard to not bust into tears. She's funny and likable and seems like she's someone I could work with. Matt: Talked a bit about me coming back. Very little in group call. Michael: Talked a fair amount about D&D and made some fun Upside Down jokes. Seems like we have a lot in common but him being a different time zone could prove hard to keep up with. Being the outlier on Time Zones is playing on Hard Mode. Olivia: Love her! We bonded over animals and she seems like a total sweetheart and I definitely wanna share pics of my cat with her some more! Owen: We talked a bit about literature and it was fun. Definitely seems intelligent and he's someone I know a bit about from Olympics. In an ideal world I'd want to work with Stoner, Jess, Olivia, & Michael but everything in on fire. Also, no luck on the idol so fuck me I guess
JESS
So... first night has been interesting? I was going to do your typical "first impressions" confessional but... FOXXX or whatever the fury's name is.... is playing too hard too fast. Am I being a Paranoid Patty and reading this the WRONG WAY entirely? Possibly. HOWEVER... It's been less than 5 hours since we were thrown into this hell hole of a game (The hosts are lovely individuals but we all know this is about to get insane) and he's telling me if I want to make a move that he's my guy? Ummm.... WE HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN OUR FIRST IMMUNITY YET? I'M NOT THINKING MOVES RIGHT NOW? I BARELY CAN REMEMBER YOUR NAME!
MICHAEL

OLIVIA
Have I befriended a furry???????? Is this real life????? Is he actually a furry or just really in deep on this joke? Why are there so many Dylans in orgs? Also fucking goddamnit I like EVERYONE HERE I just wanna be friends with all y’all damn. All of the newbies are so adorable and seem so excited and unknowing to the pain that’s gonna come :’) Annabelle especially like my wig flew with that intro! I wanna meet them all. Also wtf is with the torches I WANNA KNOW ALREADY! Anyways that’s all I’m excited for this season. Owen and I renewed the o alliance :-) and Jess seems cool as hell I really clicked with her and the furry. Michael seems sweet and I already know Julian from Mykonos, the absolute crackhead. Real sweetie tho hopefully we’re friends. I hope I’m not coming off as too insane I was so nervous on the phone call with the tribe :( it was so fun but I felt like every time I said something it fell flat I felt so awkward abhhhhhahshsjaj. Anyhoo yay! New season!
Should I write the rest of my confessionals in japanese? Neko. Boom
JESS
So coming into this game with a TS under my belt is different... I still have no expectations whatsoever BUT I do know how HARD people go for in these games and I'm planning to go just as hard. The first night was wild. Everyone on my tribe except for Matt and Julian were lively on the tribe call. Everyone seemed pretty cool and super... out there.. I think Isaac might be the one to watch on my tribe. He's been around the block and knows most people on my tribe (new and old). WHICH IS WHY.. I'm going to try my best and get super close to him. I need to make sure I'm not disposable to these "older players" and as asset to these "newer" players. I just know need to cool my jets on the whole socializing bit in the main chat (Yes I know it's literally day 1). I want to be as irrelevant as possible so no one thinks I'm a threat but no one really wants to get rid of me either. Gotta focus on those INDIVIDUAL RELATIONSHIPS. Hopefully these other players with more TS's under their belts become bigger shields than me because if not... yikes on yikes.
ROB
I like everyone so far. Evan is giving me a few red flags because he’s only giving me one word answers, so i might take that into consideration when voting.
FOXX
We had a very fun group call with the tribe last night. Definitely haven’t laughed that much in a while. Love my tribe thus far so I hope we can keep the good vibes going. Jess & Stoner are people I feel like have talked with me the most Nd Olivia, Owen, & Michael are also friendly so I think I have options. One thing I’ve noticed is how casual and sociable this tribe is. Nothing is more frustrating than a tribe full of overserious gamebots (*cough* Selwyn *cough*) but it’s a group of funny and chill people. It’s gonna be a great game!
OLIVIA
I love these hosts 🙂 HATE the idol system but honestly it doesn’t change much I’ve never gotten an idol before and probably never will so it won’t change my gameplay lmao
I like Isaac a lot too! Forgot to say. But I’m also a little wary of him because I know he’s very experienced
JULIAN

ANABEL
well. yesterday i found an idol on my second guess. and made two new friends. so yesterday was great. today was bad. i outed myself. my mom heard me tell my eyebrow lady that i was gay. this is a sad confessional and i wish i wasn’t so loud. im real fucking sad. sorry. but at least i have an idol and some friends.
LEIGH
Time to put on a bra and take some selfies.
I'm glad I shaved today for that tattoo selfie.
OLIVIA
There’s an alliance I’m not in isn’t there
Why am I so FUCKING awkward
ANABEL
im so fucking good at survivor like... good lord. trent and i are like best friends already (see, i knew this would happen, i always meet a nice old usually straight man and we become friends, it's like the hallmark of my survivor experiences) and we came up w a plan where i am gonna try and seduce evan and rob and make them my lil minions so im gonna lie to them and tell them that im a cheerleader bc that's hot right?? so ya my womanly charms will be utilized to their fullest potential. go me.
MICHAEL

LEIGH
Can we talk about how bullshit it is to have "Lipstick in your tribe's color" when we're yellow and they're RED?  Honest to god might as well have "Lemon in your tribe's color" to make it fair.
Alex coming in with bold capslock "MAKE SURE EVERYONE ON YOUR TEAM HAS SUBMITTED AT LEAST ONE THING" ... Just DM Evan directly my dude.
OLIVIA
Feeling much better about this game today than I was last night I think I was just spiraling 🥰 we’re doing really well on the challenge and I hope we win!! Two people messaged me saying I’m doing great on the challenge and idk how to respond. Just tryna make sure we don’t lose I will NOT be the first vote out. Newbies go hard on scavenger hunts but I go even harder 😈
LORELEI
Ok so! I'm super bummed that obor lost the challenge, I really thought we would win! Now we have to get rid of someone and it sucks but I feel like we all know who it has to be. It's not even personal, it's just the fairest thing and the best thing for our tribe. Also, alliances are forming! I like Anabel, Leigh and Trent so I'm with them but I'm gonna try to connect with everyone so I'm not on the outskirts. I hope that the boys haven't formed an all boys alliance bc if they have, then the girls could be in danger. That's it for now!
STONER
guess I’ll follow Alex crook’s rules... https://youtu.be/ndsfCdjtcQI
Not much, about to sleep! https://youtu.be/v12a2AbklVw

JESS
It's 2:30am so WHY NOT post ANOTHER confessional? Am I right? Honestly, we won which I'm BEYOND THANKFUL for. I hate tribal and I can now at least say I wasn't first boot. THANK GAGA. I'm just really trying to solidify things with Michael right now. I think out of everyone on my current tribe I can honestly see myself making a run at this game with him (at least up until merge). I offered him the prospect of sharing idol clues (it's literally the only collateral I have at the moment) so hopefully this doesn't bite me in the fucking ass. Other than Michael I was kind of hoping to somehow get closer to both Julian and Matt (plot twist I know). Matt has hosted me before and it's no secret he is a founding father of the "I Hate Jess" Club. However, these two seem to be the odd men out right now. They aren't overly socializing with people so there's a high chance they'll be taken out if our current tribe loses. HOWEVER.. I see potential numbers in them. So I can't let that happen. As of right now both Foxx and Stoner seem to be the ones to watch out for. I just can't let them think or know... that I know that about them. Stoner gives me mega "I say the same things to everyone" vibes. He's clearly playing a strong social game so far. I just need to play dumb and ensure that he thinks he can control/trust me. Honestly, as soon as he doesn't see value in me I have no doubt he's gonna cut me. Foxx on the other hand, just seems like he's playing too hard. He's another guy who I strongly believe is going to drop me as soon as I have no value to him. I'm just going to have to have to lay low and be dumb. Owen scares me shitless. He's giving me PTSD from my last season because homeboy is playing a strong contender game. He's definitely a pick to win. He's another person who I'm going to have to try and pretend I'm under their spell. Am I playing too hard too fast? I'm not entirely sure. I'm just going to slow my role a bit and see what happens
MATT
What’s Up? WHAT’S UP?!?!?!?  how dare you ask me such a ludicrous question.  Alright so first real general confessional of the game here.  I wanna eventually try and record some video confessionals, but that’s if i have the time. but for today, we’re good with a text.   So starting off the game on the Cahaya Tribe, which consists of entirely returnees.  So right off the bat it makes nervous bc i’m really not around much in the community.  Yeah i’m in a few VL’s and i played once before, but i really don’t know anyone.  So being the odd one out for that reason was a real fear for a little bit. Looking at my tribe, there are a few names that stood out the most to me.  Owen stood out bc we both played Kuwait, and even tho we never met each other, we still have that little connection.  Chris motherfucking Stoner is here too!!  Chris is such a chill dude.  we played together once before and i voted him out pre swap.  But that game was so long ago, and i really don’t think he cares (i know i dont).  So i’m looking forward to reconnecting with him.  Jess is also here!! Jess and I had met previously because i hosted her in Celestial Komnata, and we had some rough misunderstandings there.  But months have passed and I know that I am well over it bc i frankly don’t care.  But i feel like she still probably cares which will not be good for me. Michael was the last person that stood out to me.  Not because I know him, or know of him.  But because he’s the only Non-North American in the cast, which means if i can stay up late and socialize with him, he might favor me over other When i looked at the other tribe, i think the only person i know is Anabel?  We played together once, i hosted her, so we have somewhat of a connection that if we swap together, i hope that works in my favor.   So on the first night of the game, i was very busy with Celestial All stars premiere, so i didn’t get to talk as much as i would’ve liked.  which resulted in me telling jones on call like 5 times that i’m gonna be first boot.  But the first night, i talked with everyone (to some degree) except Issac bc i forgot Issac was here.   The torch twist thing i have no idea what it’s going to be and it worries me.  My first thought is that it somehow would result in a third tribe bc there were six torches.  so someone would light a torch and be placed on that tribe. But it’s too early to figure out what they even mean and i’m sure as the game progresses.  
LEIGH
Woooo so what's happened.  Well, we lost the challenge and it wasn't even close. I haven't looked at the spreadsheet to see the final scores but I feel like Me, Trent, and Anabell did the most work.  I talked to a few people last night and put Evan's name out there cuz I know most people are too scared to say a name first and I feel comfortable enough about my position to be the one to say a name that most people should agree with. A mutual alliance formed between me, Chris, Trent, Anabell, and Lorelei.  Within it, an all girls 3 alliance formed which I'm super happy to be part of.  I'm sure Trent will be paranoid about that sooner or later so hopefully Chris and I can make him feel confident.  Trent is sharing idol guesses with me so I'm hoping that means I'm like the closest person to him right now.  I like the number of options I have so far. 
I feel like Facebook might be falling out of style so maybe these youngin's don't even have it or aren't familiar with Facebook ORGs.  The only other people here who know my history as far as I know are Foxx and Chris, and I hope neither of them bring it up. If I can stay UTR that'd be nice.  Also, I think I need to stop capitalizing letters/using punctuation if I wanna fit in with these kids.  Did I already confessionalize that? Not sure.
Apparently Lorelei missed the HII thing day one haha oh well. I'm compiling guesses from me, Chris, and Trent. Hopefully I'll get them from the girls too. I'm not showing the girls' guesses to Chris though. I don't think he'll be mad at me for it. We gotta play close to the vest sometimes yo
TRENT
So far I think the game is going alright. My tribe is incredibly quiet for some reason but I guess that isn't too bad. I made a connection with Anabel and Leigh pretty early on. Decided to suggestion and alliance and both we in so I added Chris and Lorelei so we had a majority. This is the alliance I wanted from the beginning. I wanted the older people to stick together and then add in one young one. I think it's a pretty solid idea. Ive been messaging both kenny and dylan as well. I don't want an alliance with them, but I would like for them to like me and want me to stay in. I also think im getting along pretty well with the two infiltrators right now. Julian was spilling all kinds of info about his tribe to me this morning and then me and owen connected really well. Hopefully this will help me in the future if there is a split soon.
OLIVIA
Jess was hinting that her, foxx, stoner, and I should get together and I said we’d make a nifty cool group. A NIFTY COOL GROUP WHAT THE FUCK IS A NIFTY COOL OLIVIA
ISAAC
This twist can become SO detrimental. And I’m so MAD Owen went over there first because that bitch is unbelievably charismatic. Hopefully it paints a bigger target on him but like it’s whatever. I like my tribe. We seem chill and I seem to vibe the most with Olivia and Jessica Messica. Foxx is cool. Julian is....Julian ig. Matt has yet to talk to me so that’s a wig ig. Michael seems nice but ngl I get kinda bored when I try to talk to him? He seems very gamebot-y which could be frightening but idk he’s not my biggest problem atm. I’m terrified of Owen - he’s unbelievably charismatic and has the ability to twist people around his finger so like I’m gonna keep my eye on him and I’m not gonna let him out of my sight. With that being said I do wanna see him live for at least a little while for meat-shield purposes. Anyways I hope I do well this game but 👀 I have a sinking feeling.
KENNY
So yeah.. it seemed like a pretty laxxed day and Evan was the vote. How true is that? Idk but I have to trust strangers. But just heard he through my name out like 20 minutes ago, with less than 3 hours to go. So I just hope everyone’s being honest 😭
OWEN
what’s up? Everything :’) I couldn’t help as much in the scav hunt as I liked because I was living my life. But thankfully we won anyways bc my tribe kicked ass! I still contributed some and I made sure to keep talking to people. I still love olivia, and matt has been fun to talk to. Don’t rlly know why but foxx seems hard to get to know. And not big into michael rn either. I think I will stick with Julian and chris, hopefully can pull in jess and olivia to do something if we lose. Chris mentioned that both him and jess DO like foxx so we will see.... The main thing is that this twist worked out perfectly for me!!!! I couldn’t call when we were decided and I REALLY wanted to go. Thankfully I was able to take advantage of the majority vote thing and pretend like I wasn’t online hehe and by some miracle I got picked to go. MEANT TO BEEE and let me say I was right, I do love this tribe so much more than my own for some reason. Trent is great, Annabel and I are talking like I wanted, the Chicago girl and the Pokémon mystery dungeon girl. It’s so good over here, but the biggest surprise has been chris o. I really like him and could see myself working well with him if we swap. The only thing is that Julian said he was sketchy sometimes..... hehe so down the road I might have to tell chris o that Julian is after him :~) but I don’t need to snake too hard yet, for right now I’m a crocodile lookin like a log. Vote should be easy on Evan from what I’ve heard but if it changes? I’ll be living for the drama!
LORELEI
It looks like Evan is the consensus. I feel really bad though because it's not his fault. He tried to plead his case with me by saying that he wasn't the only one that was inactive, but that doesn't change the fact that he contributed the least. I know it's the fair thing to do but I feel bad about it. Voting out people is so not fun, I really hope we win the next challenge so I won't have to do this again.
EVAN
I’m pretty sure I’m fucked. I’ve been trying to get people to vote Kenny but idk fuck
KENNY
“I know I’M voting Evan = I might be voting Evan but I know others are voting you”. Or am I being paranoid
JULIAN

MATT
i feel like i did pretty good on the scavenger hunt.  i managed to scoop up a bunch of items that were left over and some that were high points.  so i do feel good about my performance and think i pulled my weight.  Speaking of pulling weight...Julian is...there.  I think he only submitted one item which was the Vine.  I mean i get you have work and are busy, but like...most of us were the same?  even issac who was celebrating his birthday did more.   after challenge results we got on call in the tribe chat (olivia, chris, michael, myself). and we were talking about the infiltrator twist and the challenge results.  We agreed to have myself and Olivia go, but we needed 5 for a majority.  Julian shows up and says he “might wanna go tbh”.  and then disappears.  We’re on call laughing bc we wanna submit this and not randomize it, so someone who isn’t here gets forced to go.  BUT JULIAN won’t talk in tribechat even tho we’re all like, “hey we’ll take turns and you can go next time.”. but no.  Julian is only talking in olivia’s pm’s and she’s telling us whatever he’s saying. eventually the hour is up, and julian got randomized to go.  that fucker strong armed us into randomizing and he still went god damnit.   I think that call was good for my game because we were just chatting for like 1.5 hours about the game stuff and people.  After michael/chris left the call it was just Olivia and myself on call and we stayed on for another hour and a half(????? ish??? probably less i can’t remember).  But that was a nice call and i think helped start to solidify a bond.  Olivia is someone i can see myself working with in this game.  Same goes for Michael and Chris.  I feel like that call group was pretty natural and we got along really well.  I’m too nervous to initiate any kind of alliance talk, but i know it’s gonna have to happen eventually.  i’m sure alliances already exist on the tribe and i’m obviously not in them.  I think for starters, i need to work on conversations a bit more, because they are somewhat weak right now.  My goal for the future is to work on olivia, michael, chris and owen.  Those are the people i feel most good about.  Foxx is cool but idk it seems hard to gel with them.  Julian is cracked and i hope he’s our first boot.  and the four of us on call forgot issac was on the tribe so that’s not good for him. i think i’m in a decent position for now, but i’m not gonna count my chickens before they hatch (i think that’s the saying idfk)

Seventeen in Toronto Fan Account - Diamond Edge 8/25/2017
Hello! ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ These are the parts of the Diamond Edge concert in Toronto that stood out the most to me (with some help from @observetheview because I don’t know all the members yet).
Right before the show we went to a Korean restaurant called Chimac and we got boneless chicken with a few dipping sauces (to quote @observetheview “great fucking chicken”), but the important part is that we bought a bottle of green grape soju and I was drunk after 1.5 shots and we ended up finishing the whole thing lmao
As a result I was still buzzed/drunk when we got to Massey Hall and I couldn’t remember where the tickets were saved to on my phone so I panicked a little and I couldn’t seem to understand where to line up xD
The doors opened an hour before the show started and they played various music videos quietly on a loop on the big screen (all mvs but Don’t Wanna Cry)
View from our seats:
Tumblr media
Then the mv for Don’t Wanna Cry came on the screen and the music turned up and everyone freaked tf out and stood up
They filed onto the stage and opened with Pretty U, Beautiful (everyone held up the fan project banners) and Adore U
Their first outfit was brightly coloured suits and everyone wore different colours
They looked fine af 
They looked really surprised/happy when they saw us dancing along to the “agginda” part in Adore U
Then they had their first ment
Jeonghan and Wonwoo were acting cute
They each introduced themselves basically with variations of the same thing “hi” + Name
The8 said all his ments in English!
Woozi was quiet as usual, and Seungkwan was talkative as usual
Woozi was so cute just standing there with his fluffy hair :3
I forget which ment it was but they said they were surprised by how many fans were at the airport to greet them
They also weren’t expecting so many people to be at the concert
They had quite a few interactions with us such as
“I say ____, you say ____”
getting us to jump and clap our arms during songs
Hoshi trying to get us to dab with him (he dabbed a lot…)
teaching us a thumb dance move for Chuck (Chuck Chuck brrr Chuck!)
Someone yelled S.Coups and he waved in their direction and then everyone in that area screamed/freaked out
One VCR had predebut pics of all of them
The other VCRs were aesthetic af
Dino and S.Coups had a ment together and each did a freestyle dance
Before Dino did his he said “any song will do”
Both freestyle dances were good
Very Nice, Boom Boom, Mansae, OMG, Highlight, and Rock were all lit af
Chuck was the most lit imo, they had tons of lights and strobe lights and it was basically a rave
The hip hop unit performances were so good
Vernon climbed up my bias list
He was the hype master/mood maker tbh
They wore school outfits for Mansae and Boom Boom
They jumped off of chairs for Mansae and I was like BE CAREFUL GAH
They were so rude and opened their shirts/motioned opening their shirts during Boom Boom
The8 and Hoshi were both really good dancers (Hoshi drew my attention a lot)
Crazy in Love was super sexy, like classy af sexy
BUTTS AND HIP THRUSTS SWEET JESUS
They all had pretty nice butts
Woozi’s cute tush just chilling in those black pants 👀
Also he’s really short compared to the other members
But still taller than me  (ง •̀_•́)ง
I think he saw my sign?
Yes I made a sign for him and I love him but I couldn’t look him in the face :S any time he looked in my direction I’d look at someone else instead alslkdjgjd  *runs away* sign what sign 
Tumblr media
@observetheview said he stopped and stared at it for a minute
I think I was holding my sign upside down at one point so maybe that’s why lmao
I think I saw other members noticing my sign
Woozi didn’t perform Simple :( he doesn’t love me
Mingyu’s armpit hair, couldn’t look away (@observetheview input)
Someone spanked someone else’s ass as they walked across the stage
During one of the ments Seungkwan belted out the chorus to Adele’s Hello and it was fucking amazing like my ears have been blessed 10/10 would recommend 
His English was really good, he messed up a bit on one line but corrected himself
During the same ment Dino did a sexy dance to Michael Jackson (Billie Jean I think?) and S.Coups(?) tried to stop him
During one of the ments Hoshi said he went for a walk in Toronto and the weather was really nice and that “the sky was high(?)” but that it was better together with us
Also during one of the ments Seungkwan said we didn’t have to shout every time they said something xD
“We prepared something special just for Toronto” then they turned their backs to us and did aegyo when they spun around
Mingyu wore plaid pants
My favourite outfit was their sparkly red shirts and black pants
The vocal unit sang a song with a Halloween-ish background on the screen and had a throne, and mic stands with red fabric that Woozi and Jeonghan used :O
Woozi winked a few times during the performances (@observetheview‘s input, I didn’t see)
Jun and The8 performed My I with this long elastic ribbon and it was really good
Wonwoo wore red silk gloves at one point
In general the choreo was really good, their dancing was on point
I was a little worried they wouldn’t all fit on the Massey Hall stage but they made it work
They said it was their first time coming to Toronto and they were surprised they had so many fans so far away from South Korea
And that there were beautiful people here
Other songs they perormed were Swimming Fool, Still Lonely, Check In, Habit
Then Vernon said “Bad news guys, this is going to be our last song for real”
Me:
Tumblr media
And when we all whined sadly they made fun of us xD
Then Vernon dramatically turned around and said “I Don’t Wanna Cry” and everyone screamed
So they performed Don’t Wanna Cry
It had sort of a remix intro where the beginning was extended while some of them danced
After the song they left the stage
And we naturally started chanting “Seventeen! Seventeen!” for an encore
Our chant was pretty weak tbh there ended up being two Seventeen chants being shouted out of sync xD
After enough shouting they started a VCR
It was a sappy, sickeningly sweet letter they each wrote to carats
They said things like “To me carats are: oxygen, friends, motivation, energy… 10 fingers (Hoshi what??)
I can’t remember the exact order of what happened next, but they performed Shining Diamond (it was lit af), gave a final ment, and performed Healing
Also during the encore I noticed some of the lights on my sign were broken lol so I turned them all off
They took a picture with all of us
During the final ment they went “let’s go one by one and talk about our experience of the concert” and I thought they were joking but then they actually went one by one and said something
The amount of fanservice was too damn high
They all said sweet things, variations of comments such as “stay healthy” “be happy” “we’ll come back soon and show a better performance”
They made us promise that when they come back to Toronto we’ll come to the concert again, and gave us pinky promise gestures
They said this would be a big memory for them
Me when The8 was doing his final ment and struggling a lil bit with the English:
Tumblr media
They all tickled Woozi during his part of Healing
They had us jumping during Healing and they shot streamers
They wore blue and pink shirts for their encore
They were all really touched by our fan project banners
They said they were really thankful and happy we came to see them
There were also streamers when they gave their final bow
They tried to wave to everyone before leaving
Overall it was an amazing concert and I’m so happy they came!
I honestly danced the entire time I didn’t sit down once
I hope they like the gits and letters we made for them

How about... Established relationship, Bucky plans to entice/seduce Tony (using any means you'd like), so that Tony will nail him through the mattress. Or up the wall. Or on any surface really, Bucky isn't picky (fortunately, neither is Tony).
The B in Subtle Does Not Stand For Bucky (Part One)
Author Note: Dear Prompter… this story came out of the followingdiscussion: Tisfan: I’m trying to think how to do this so it’s interesting. Bucky’s idea ofseduction is “hey, babe, wanna?” if he’s not just dragging Tony off toward thebed by his hair.Everyworldneedslove: Yeah, Subtle, not exactly Bucky’s thing. Or Tony’s. Infact, Tony pretty much misses subtle entirely.
(In Tash’s defense, she did NOT realize they’d be THIS STUPID.)
Part One
It wasn’t the first time they’d annoyed Tash, Bucky knew that forsure. Probably more like the sixth. He couldn’t help it; carrying Tony out ofthe common room and upstairs to nail him right through the mattress was tootempting. He was even willing to blame Tony for it in the first place, becausethe man was handsy as hell and had a terrible habit of making lewd jokes andbedroom eyes nearly constantly.
Personally, Bucky thought Tash should give him a little bit offucking credit that he didn’t just take his incredibly sexy boyfriend to thefloor in front of God and everyone. (He’d considered it once, but managed toget them into the elevator before peeling Tony’s pants down to his thighs andswallowing his cock. Also, totally not his fault that she hit the elevatorsummon button. Really. It wasn’t.)
“You wouldn’t know subtle if it bit you on the ass,” Tash said,glowering at him.
“Subtle would be better behaved and not bite anyone,” Stevepointed out. “Certainly better behaved than Bucky’s been.”
Bucky threw his hands up in the air. Both of them ganging up onhim seemed a bit much, really. It’s not like they weren’t loud and obnoxioussometimes, too. “I can totally be subtle,” Bucky sneered. “You just watch.”
Tash took a sip of her tea and gazed at him over the rim of hermug. “We have an accord, then. No sex, unless you can get it subtly. And I willknow if you cheat. You… won’t like the consequences.”
Bucky glowered. He (had been) was the world’s deadliest assassin,credited with dozens of high-profile jobs, and he’d never been caught right upuntil he’d decided to be caught. How hard could it be, getting hisboyfriend into bed without being blatant? Tony was just as into it as Buckywas. “You’ll see,” he said again.
Bucky might have picked the worst. Week. Ever. To attemptto seduce his boyfriend quietly. The Maria Stark Foundation's annual ball wasthat week, and Tony was rather involved in the planning. Bucky knew Tony hadpeople for that sort of thing, and hell, the Foundation had people for thatsort of thing, and yet Tony hovered over the caterers and venue planners likethey were getting set to invade Latveria.
Subtle.
After a day of meetings and double-checking with severalcoordinators, plus a quarterly stockholder’s report, Tony was sure to be tired,stressed out.
Bucky chilled a bottle of wine, drew a bubble bath and sprinkledrose-petals all over the bed and waited for Tony to come back up to thepenthouse.
And waited. And waited some more. When Tony finally made his wayback to their room, he was stripped down to his workshop clothes, streaked withgrease and with an angry burn across the backs of his knuckles, shufflingacross the floor with his eyes mostly closed. By then, the bath had gone coldand the wine was warm. Not that Tony noticed either. He didn’t stop until hisknees hit the edge of the bed and then he fell face-first onto it and wasasleep before Bucky could even say hello.
Bucky sighed. Overworked genius Tony was his fifth favorite thingand Tony was adorable when he was sleeping. He peeled Tony’s clothes offwithout waking him and got him settled onto the bed, tucking the blanket aroundhim, then went to clean up. There was always tomorrow.
(mobile users, ware the readmore)
The problem was, Bucky thought, more that Tony wasn’t used to anysort of subtle. He didn’t eat until his stomach was practically crawling out ofhis mouth to go hunting on his own. He didn’t rest until he was falling down.JARVIS had been known to complain from time to time that the only bad thingabout not having some sort of corporeal body was that he couldn’t smack hiscreator upside the head from time to time and send him off to nap.
On the other hand, the coffee pot was one of Tony’s favoritedevices. Bucky spent the better part of an hour composing little messages onheart-shaped sticky notes. He put one on the handle of Tony’s favorite mug, onthe top of the bean grinder, one on the side of the coffee maker, and one onthe box of donuts he left next to the coffee pot, all cake with pink glaze andsprinkles. Tony’s favorite.
Sure enough, not long after, Tony came into the kitchen, phoneheadset in place as he conferenced with someone or other -- not Pepper, he wasmuch more polite when it was Pepper. He smiled at Bucky, then reached up intothe cabinet for his mug. The sticky note fluttered off, unnoticed.
“No, what I’m telling you is that it’s a completely workable--” Hethrew up his hands in annoyance and flicked the top off the bean grinder as hereached for the beans. “No, that’s because you’re not listening to me,”he growled, and mashed the grinder button with rather more force thannecessary.
...Had that note gotten mixed in with the beans? Bucky didn’t seeit anywhere.
Tony dumped the beans into the pot and stabbed at the button. Hewas going to have to wait a few seconds for the coffee to brew, so surely he’dsee that note.
“Michaels, I’m too busy this week to come down there and tell youhow to do your job,” Tony snapped, pacing the kitchen. “If you can’t make senseof the notes, maybe I should send over someone who can. ...That’s what Ithought.”
He dragged off the headset and threw it on the counter in disgust.“Ug, how did he end up in my R&D department?” he demanded. He pulled themug out of the stream of coffee and swigged it back like particularly cheaptequila. “Oh, hey, donuts!” He nudged open the box and pulled one out, taking ahuge bite. “Fnnks, bah,” he muttered. He leaned over and left a sticky kiss onBucky’s cheek, then was gone again, mug in hand.
Bucky groaned and scrubbed at his face with both hands, listeningto the rasp of his beard as it scraped against his palm. “How does he evensurvive?” Bucky muttered, knowing that no one was listening. “Seriously?” He wasgoing to have to up his game. Shit.
Bucky thought he was starting to get somewhere with the textmessage flirting. Tony at least looked at his phone an awful lot. Boardmeetings, and R&D brainstorming sessions, and working on repairing theAvenger’s gear, and strategic planning reviews with SI security, Tony alwayshad his phone with him.
Subtle, Bucky reminded himself. Which probably meant no dick pics.
Thinking about you, babe.
He did some research. Emojis were the big thing, right? It tookhim a while to track down some hints and tips, and then it took him a littlelonger to figure out why eggplants and peaches featured in a lot of thesamples, but when he did get it, Bucky almost rolled off the couch, laughing.
He texted Tony an eggplant and a peach. Tony had the world’s mostperfect ass; more than one person had commented on it. And while Bucky wasn’tsure it actually looked like a peach, he’d be more than happy to take a bite ofit.
Tony texted back a lollipop, and a... oh, that was a tongue. Well.
Bucky scrolled through the options. Why why why were there so manydifferent icons and what the hell were even some of them supposed to be? Thereneeded to be some sort of search feature. He found a bunch of hands; let’s see…that one, index finger, pointing. And the OK. Winkie face. He was just hittingsend when the building alarm went off.
“No, no, no, no,” Bucky muttered. “What the…”
“Avengers assemble,” Steve’s voice came through the overhead. “Wehave reports of hostile non-human life forms attacking the coastal area offMaine. Quinjet, fifteen minutes!”
“No. no. no.” Bucky slid to the floor in front of the coffee tableand banged his forehead into the wooden surface before getting up. He had afucking job to do.
There were some things that should not be allowed. Giantsemi-sapient squids that spat smelly, half-frozen ink all over everything wereright at the top of that fucking list.
They were also fast as hell, prone to swatting flying Avengers outof the air like they were playing badminton with their tentacles. Iron Man hadactually gotten shoved into one beaky maw and nearly eaten before he managed tounibeam a hole in the back of the thing’s head and make an escape.
The squids’ bodies were squishy, the skin thick and rubbery, andkilling them was like trying to stuff marshmallows into a wine bottle. Theywere hard as hell to cut, and shooting them put the whole group at risk fromricochettes. Bucky wasn’t even sure they’d been defeated so much as they’dgotten bored and wandered back where they came from.
Tony had already contacted Atlantis and their obnoxious ruler,Namor the Sub-Mariner, for more useful tactics. Which would have been great,except Namor had some very strange ideas of what was befitting for his stationand Tony was having to drop everything to entertain the fucking merman.
All bad press aside, Tony could actually be quitediplomatic when he wanted to. The trick was getting him to want to -- but itturned out that having been nearly eaten by a giant squid was pretty motivating.So when Namor finally deigned to make an appearance, Tony ushered him aroundand catered to that swollen ego in the name of getting Namor to actually committo doing something about the squids.
And if Tony seemed a little stiff, his smile a little tight, well,Namor was a first-class asshole, even when being helpful. It wasn’t until thewhole nonsense was nearly done that Tony stumbled over a bit of chopped-offtentacle and winced in pain that Bucky realized he’d been hiding injuries thewhole time.
Extracting Tony from Namor’s clutches (okay, so it wasn’t thatbad, but Namor didn’t really understand human physiology and concepts like bleedingto death weren’t high on his list of concerns) involved shoving Steve atNamor and probably owing Steve a million favors, because the Prince of Atlantis(or whatever his damn title was) had something of a crush on Steve, which Stevewas desperately trying to avoid dealing with.
“God dammit, Tony,” Bucky swore, as soon as he managed toget Tony around the corner where no one would notice that Tony was limping,bleeding, and sweating like crazy inside his armor. Bucky got a thumb downinside Tony’s armor and triggered the release mechanism. The amount of bloodthat flooded out of the left boot was pretty damn worrying. Bucky gritted histeeth and picked his boyfriend up in a bridal carry. “Barton, I got cleanupduty for you, near the south door.”
Another week of celibacy, because Tony never could do shit byhalf-measures, including getting his ass almost dead. After losing so muchblood and a head injury on top of that, his recovery was complicated by thesquid ink getting into his wound, which caused an infection.
Bucky knew Tony was pretty damn sick. He knew it because Tony didn’tspend the first two days trying to check out Against Medical Advice. But it washard to be around Tony, when Bucky was already wound up from a week’s worth ofcelibacy. Bucky was a terrible person, spending too much time at Tony’s bedsidewhile he was ill, spoon-feeding him and helping him wash up with half anerection and difficulty concentrating because he was too busy staring at theway Tony’s mouth moved, or wanting to peel that thin hospital gown aside and--
Yeah, Bucky was better off just staying out of arm’s reach. Hedidn’t want to hurt Tony by accident. Bucky was a selfish, horrible person.The man had practically bled out on his feet; being ravished by a formerassassin was not what Tony needed.
Cho finally notified Bucky that they were releasing Tony frommedical. Bucky spent some time picking out an outfit; he wanted to look hisbest for Tony, maybe tempt Tony into a little messing around now that he wasfeeling better.
Tight jeans that emphasized the curve of his ass, outlined Bucky’smuscular thighs. He wasn’t quite as chesty as Steve -- Steve, who always worehis shirts too small and looked like he ought to wear a damn sports bra to keephis nipples under control -- but Bucky wasn’t lacking in muscle. He selected athin dark blue top, the material worn and comfortable, clinging to his chest injust the right places, thin enough to see the shadows of his pecs, to trace thelines of his abs. He tore the sleeve off one side -- short sleeves had atendency to get stuck in the plates of his arm and anyway, Tony liked thearm.
It was nice to see Tony up and about, his color better than it hadbeen for days. Tony gave him a quick smile and it was all Bucky could do not tolift his man up and push him against the wall to kiss him stupid. But he wasstill trying, even if it was the hardest thing he’d ever done. “Hey, babe,” hesaid. He took Tony’s hand gingerly. Just the brush of his fingers againstTony’s skin was enough to tingle, sending zings of want down Bucky’s spine.Barely twining their fingers together, he led Tony over to the elevator. “Wantto grab a snack and then go home?”
Tony’s smile got a little wider and he leaned against Bucky’s sidein the elevator. “Yeah, that sounds good. Doc says I’m supposed to stay up onmeals to replace all the blood, blah blah blah. But home, for sure. So sick ofmedical I could puke.”
“Missed you,” Bucky commented, pulling Tony closer against hisside, aching for the feel of Tony’s lean body, wanting nothing more than to --
“Hey!” Steve cheered as the elevator door opened. “Tony’s back!”Bucky wasn’t going to ask about the purple marks just above Steve’s collar.Probably.
Except that the kitchen was full of Avengers, guests and friends.Rhodes had even managed to get out of whatever military shit he was doing tocome visit. And Namor, too. (That man needed to put some clothes on, really!)
Clint  had made a huge cake shaped like a bandaid (okay,really, whose idea was it to fill the cake with strawberry sauce, so as soon asit was cut, it started fucking bleeding? Ew.) and there were snacks and drinksand…
Bucky sighed. Tony was being passed around his friends like aparty favor and it took Bucky a while to find a unoccupied corner where hecould have a sulk. It’s not that he didn’t want to share his boyfriend, hejust… didn’t want to share.
Not that Bucky could be too upset; it was good to have Tonyhome, and better to see how happy he was, surrounded by friends and family. Butby the time he’d spoken to everyone and had a slice of Clint’s horrifying cakeand gotten into a “discussion” with Rhodey and Steve about the advisability ofletting weird space monsters eat him specifically so he could blast his way outagain, he was visibly exhausted.
And by the time Bucky had nudged him away from the party (still infull swing) and up to their room, Tony was pale and shaky from overexertinghimself, and obviously too drained for more than a quick kiss goodnight.
There was a large, empty space in the middle of the bed, thesheets cold and crisp. Bucky sighed and pulled himself all the way to the edgeof the bed.
At first it had been cute, in a frustrating sort of way. Tony wasabsent-minded under the best of circumstances, but he’d never been anything butpassionate when Bucky had nudged him into something.
And then it had gotten irritating; if the Avengers were deliberatelygetting in their way, it would have been easier to get around. This justseemed to be life.
Finally, Bucky decided the best idea was to just wait it out.Surely Tony would start something, wouldn’t he? He’d always been just as eagerfor it as Bucky was. How much accidental abstinence was Tony willing to put upwith before Bucky was the one on the other end of the seduction? That would beokay, right? And technically wouldn’t go against his agreement with Tash.
Except that… nothing happened.
That empty space in the middle of the bed stayed empty.
Bucky thought he was imagining it, but eventually he couldn’t ignoreit. Tony was deliberately putting space between them, now. He pulled back,hastily, if Bucky brushed against him, like he was burned. He fell asleep inthe workshop rather than coming to bed at all some nights. Bucky found himselfin the awkward position of explaining that he wasn’t tired, so that Tony wouldget in the bed at all. And Bucky would end up waiting until he was asleep, justso he wouldn’t bother Tony.
Some nights he’d wake as soon as Tony stepped in the room and thenhold his breath, pretending to sleep as Tony would creep in like a thief. IfBucky stirred or reached for Tony, it was all apologies and ‘sorry to wake you’and ‘go back to sleep.’
Maybe… maybe Tony had never been into it. God that hurt to thinkabout, like the bottom of the world had fallen out from under Bucky’s feet.Maybe Tony had felt pressured into sex. Bucky had never hesitated before, justnudging and kissing and… had Tony not wanted him? Or at least, not asbad as Bucky wanted it?
He tried to think back, had Tony ever instigated their trysts, orhad he just gone along with what Bucky wanted? Why… why would Tony do that, whywould he not say anything if… shit. Shit.
Well, maybe Tony just -- there were words for it, right, Buckyremembered JARVIS bringing things to his attention in his welcome to thefuture, try not to be an asshole lectures. Asexual, that was a thing. Was… wasthat what things were like, for Tony. Had he been merely tolerating Bucky’sadvances?
Bucky rolled over, pulled the blankets over his head, feelingsick.
Or maybe Tony was just done. He was done with Bucky. Fucked himout, so to speak. He was ready to move on to someone else. Steve had warned Bucky,had told him that Tony wasn’t really a settle down sort of guy, that he wasalways moving on to the next best thing. Bucky waited in dread for theconversation, the one that started “it’s not you, it’s me.”
That empty space in the middle of the bed was the fucking GreatWall of China. Bucky didn’t know how to cross it anymore. He pulled back, asfar as he could. Started dodging conversations with Tony because he didn’t wantto hear the words. Left the room, rather than staring at Tony like a starving dog.
He couldn’t even be mad at Tash about it; she’d showed him that hewas fucking missing it. Tony didn’t want him anymore, and Bucky hadn’t even noticed,until she drew his attention to it.
Shit.
Stay tuned for Part Two
