re. wip master list

an ever updating list of all of my wips and ideas that i juggle in my brain at any given moment, laid out as simply as possible for y’all’s convenience. obviously PARAMOUR & TCOL are my main wips right now so you can check my main pinned for more information about those, however, these are for all my other wips that are backburner in some way.

this list will probably update often as i revamp old ideas or come up with new ones

these are also in no particular order

THE CHRONICLES OF LATHSBURY BOOK I: THE WRATH OF THE DEMON KING

summary: five adventurers from different backgrounds must face The Labyrinth as the deep magic that keeps the chaos within it at bay begins to rip apart at their seams

THE LIMINAL SPACE SERIES

summary: a series of 5 continuous books and 1 spinoff tale centered around this universe’s concept of liminal spaces. what they all have in common is they center on death, Reapers, Witches, magic, possession, and horror, but above all liminal spaces.

Liminal Spaces are defined as the place a person is in during a transitional period. this can be emotionally, physically, metaphysically or all of the above. in this series liminal spaces are more akin to separate planes of existence where death and horror reign supreme and magic is in the air. nothing is impossible and your worst nightmares usually come true.

VAMPIRES DON’T TAKE ROAD TRIPS

PURPLE HAZE

wip intro || tag -> s: supernatural dads

LITTER SUPPORT

TRAIN MASTER CHIDORI

summary: chidori jonson just hit his 1 year anniversary of being a train master—and things are just starting to kick off!

notes: train master chidori is more of an art project/potential webcomic so not much writing mostly art will you see if this wip.

playlist || tag -> s: train master chidori

SIXTEEN CANDLES

summary: ranger, nanette, tucker, vani, and roger have been friends for 16 years, and with that much history in one group chat? shenanigans ensue.

notes: this is a chat-style wip, so any writing will be in the form of characters messaging each other. i love the emerging language that is internet linguistics, so there will be a lot of playing around with how words are showcased. remember: no typo is just a typo in this wip!

character list || tag -> s: sixteen candles

TEARDROPS OF THE GODS

summary: quill is half-merman; he’s known this since he was a boy, but the fear of capture by his pirate father has kept him from returning home to the sea. until, a string of town decimating pillages begin down the coast—quill knows his father is coming to look for him. and frankly, it’s high tide (heh) that quill get revenge for everything that man did to him.

wip intro || tag -> s: teardrops

RED DEATH AND THE ORACLE’S FAVOR

summary: red like blood, that’s what she named herself when her sister was stolen. red like death. she has been scouring the land for her missing sister and it has been endless years of empty leads and dead ends until she finally meets the man called oracle, hel lovendusky. he, who knows everything about everything and could know the whereabouts of her sister, and with the promise of protection and one unnamed favor, he agrees to traverse these war battered lands with her to find her.

wip intro || tag -> s: red and hel

PERI & DANDY

summary: when you die, your spirit is taken to the library—a world between worlds where you’re allowed to read your book of life, make peace with it, and pass on to whatever your idea of an afterlife is. librarians guard these sacred spaces; not man, nor woman, but angels or bookkeepers, who guide souls on. one spirit has always been the sacred rule. so what is she to do, when two souls show up at the exact same time; named vesper “peri” and andrew “dandy”. and this is not the first time they have died at the same time. in fact, this ongoing phenomena may break the very fabric and principles that she holds dear. what can you do, when a soul loves itself so much that it splits in two to never be apart?

wip intro || tag -> s: peri & dandy

DREAM TEAM

summary: yeah tbh no fancy summary here, 4 kids traverse to a fantasy world in their dreams where they’re the chosen ones meant to stop a great evil. they continue to visit dream world every time they fall asleep and they can see the changes irl but eventually when they all go to the same college they end up meeting in person for the first time. which is yknow. bad cuz that means the evil is about to strike but yknow. GOOD bc shenanigans.

wip intro || tag -> s: dream team

MARVIN & LINDA

wip intro || ending || tag -> s: marvin and linda

ITRI & THE GIANTS

summary: i’m still working on the plot but this is a thumbelina adjacent reimagining. i’m thinking itri is a “dwarf but not how we think about them” and his nickname is thumbs because he’s great with his hands and always has the “thumbs” to fix things. i know the giants to them are essentially like past gods or something like that. So. gotta figure this out.

wip intro || tag -> s: thumbs and the giants

1990s German Techno Playlist (YouTube)

Started putting together a small playlist of some of my personal 90s German techno favorites for you all to enjoy for this week 😎. It's not definitive by any means, but with this first iteration, I think this thing still presents a pretty nice range of different types of techno, from the deep and rumbling, hypnotic basement kind to the main-room-of-the-club floor-stomping kind 😤. And despite the fact that most of these selections come from a small handful of Germany's most well-established dance and techno labels—Harthouse, Tresor, and the qualitative-over-quantitative Chain Reaction—I'd say that, given the YouTube play counts for a lot of these tracks, that most of them are a tad bit obscure too 👍.

Ich und meine buddies vibing to ze German 90s tekno

But while almost all of these tunes are by German acts that were released by German labels, the track that we happen to kick off with here, an eleven-plus minute piece of acid-drenched sci-fi psychosis from 1993 called "Blanche," by a short-lived duo from Mainz who called themselves Purple Plejade, is not from a German label at all, but is instead from a Dutch label called Djax-Up-Beats. Purple Plejade was made up of a couple notable German techno names in Holger Wick and Thomas P. Heckmann, but the two of them together only put out a couple of 12-inches, and "Blanche" was their first. Now, there's a scratchy ten-minute version of this song that's already on YouTube, that I think was uploaded back when the maximum length of your video could only be ten minutes, and that thing has over 41,000 plays on it. But this *full,* extra-minute-plus affair, as Gott originally intended it to be heard, only has under 11,000 plays across a bunch of different YouTube uploads, by comparison.

Now let's talk about a couple other favorites on here: one floor-stomper and one that's headily sublime. The floor-stomper comes courtesy of Bad Nauheim's Patrick Lindsey, who in 1996 released a 12-inch called The Phat Jive on Harthouse. And the title track on that release is what you get when you pair some melody that's reminiscent of a theme song from one of those syndicated reality court shows that airs on TV in the afternoons with some snaky, beeping synths and smacking four-on-the-floor percussion to then overwhelm it. A unique fucking banger that's sitting at over 1,300 plays.

And for that headily sublime one, which closes us out, we have a tune from Berlin's DisX3, aka Alexander Kowalski, who in 1999 put out a 12-inch on Tresor called Sequenzed_Function E.P., which kicked off its b-side with "Bored Meat." This stunner's loaded up with a fuck-ton of Richter scale-registering drums to form its rhythmic foundation, but where it really kills is with its weakly plonking, contrastingly high-pitched synth melody that gets placed atop of it all, while including a bunch of jingling hi-hats too. Basically, if you really love yourself some techno music, this is a track that should simply pierce your mechanically-made soul 🤤. And it's only been listened to less than ten thousand times on YouTube!

This playlist is ordered as chronologically as possible:

Purple Plejade - "Blanche" Patrick Lindsey - "Prepare to Jam" Patrick Lindsey - "The Phat Jive" Porter Ricks - "Port of Transition" Alter Ego vs. David Holmes - "The Evil Needle" Pacou - "T.4" Continuous Mode - "Direct Drive Mode 1" DisX3 - "The Wide Theatre" DisX3 - "Bored Meat"

And this playlist is also on YouTube Music.

So with the introduction of this playlist, we start out with a total of ten songs that run for 68 minutes. Altogether, a good and eclectic clip of stuff here to get us started that's not very well known.

And next week we'll be staying put in Germany, but we'll be getting into some much chillier stuff! 🥶

Enjoy!

More to come, eventually. Stay tuned!

Like what you hear? Follow me on Spotify and YouTube for more cool playlists and uploads!

Sugarplum Sweetheart

pairing: yoongi x reader (with background jimin x oc female) rating: g genre: established relationship, christmas, fluff with the smallest touch of crack and a sprinkle of angst genre: established relationship, christmas, fluff with the smallest touch of crack and a sprinkle of angst summary: It was unthinkable. Unfathomable. Unrealistic. Yoongi would never. song: Time to Fall in Love ~ Lindsey Stirling and Alex Gaskarth an: sweetest birthday wishes to my 언니 @daydreamer-writing. i told her i was gonna write her a yoongi drabble for her birthday and here it is!! hope you enjoy jj (and everyone else who reads it :P )

"He forgot!"

"You don't know that, eonni!" Jay lightly poked your shoulder as you stomped down the sidewalk. Snow lightly fell in the city, creating a soft, lovely atmosphere, and while you were cold, your anger was keeping you warm.

"How can I not know that?!" You shot back, slightly annoyed but not surprised that Jay was still trying to stay optimistic. You two celebrated your one-year friendship anniversary a few weeks ago, and you'd learned a lot about her throughout that year.

Like how she was always soooo cheerful, even when there wasn't any reason to be.

You paused your walking for a moment to glare at the younger girl. "He. Forgot." Your hands clenched in your jacket pockets. "It's been hours. I have no calls, no texts, and I know he doesn't have a super packed schedule right now." You looked away and started stomping again so she wouldn't see the tears that were starting to prick your eyes. "Yoongi forgot."

You hoped she didn't pick up the slight tremor in your voice. Thankfully, Jay decided to stop trying to convince you that Yoongi hadn't forgotten your birthday, at least for a few minutes.

It was unthinkable. Unfathomable. Unrealistic. Okay, sure, you hadn't been dating for more than a few months at this point, but still. Jay had been talking about celebrating your birthday non-stop for at least the past two weeks. Yoongi had to know. There's no way he would have forgotten. Yoongi would never.

It was one of the things you loved about your boyfriend. You fell for his quiet but caring love language, how he showed his feelings rather than said them, how he always remembered the small things. You told him once on your second date exactly how you liked your coffee, and he's made it for you like that ever since.

So you could not understand how the day was nearly over and you still had not heard one "happy birthday jagiya" in any form from him. Jay had dragged you out hours ago to do ~fun birthday things~ but you were sure she was just trying to distract you. You loved the sweet girl, but you were tired and cold and just wanted to curl up at home with some spicy noodles and be sad.

"Jay."

"Huh."

"Jay."

"What."

"Jayyyy!"

"Y/N-eonni!"

Your lips curled up a bit at your little game; normally you'd drag it out longer until she dropped eonni entirely, but you weren't quite feeling it right now. "I wanna go home."

Jay stopped walking and looked at you. With a slight tilt to her head, she smiled and asked, "How about we go to my place instead? There's still more birthday celebration time." You groaned and looked up, closing your eyes against the cloud-darkened sky. "Come on! I'll make you your coffee, and I'll make me my hot cocoa, and we'll sit down and watch shitty Christmas rom-coms. It'll be fun!"

You didn't really want anymore of Jay's "fun", but you were a sucker for coffee. With a sigh and a muttered, "Sweet baby Jesus," you agreed and called an Uber. One fifteen minute drive (and a few bad karaoke attempts from said unholy child) you and Jay were on your way up to her and Jimin's shared apartment.

Jay and Jimin had been dating for over half a year now, and it was through them that you were introduced to Yoongi. He and Jimin had been friends for forever, and Jay (according to her) just knew she had to get you and Yoongi in the same room, and then sparks would fly. A bit fanciful for both yours and Yoongi's tastes, but she was right.

"Your perfect boyfriend isn't home, is he?"

Jay rolled her eyes as the elevator doors closed. "Jimin isn't perfect."

"He hasn't forgotten your birthday."

"He hasn't had a chance to! My birthday isn't for another two months!" She breathed out a laugh and pulled her phone from her pocket. "I'm pretty sure he's out with the guys tonight, but I'll double-check for you."

You pouted, getting a bit bad for taking your feelings out on her. "No, you don't need to do that. It's fine if he is there." Jay typed up a message anyway and hit send.

"Too late~" she smiled, "I'll know in a minute." The elevator dinged and the doors opened. As the two of you walked together down the hall, Jay's phone went off. You couldn't see the screen, but the smile on Jay's face stretched wider, the kind of smile she had when you knew she was excited about something.

"What is it?" You asked, but she ignored you. Jay simply grabbed the sleeve of your jacket and began pulling you faster to her apartment door. "Jay!"

"Come on come on come on!!" was the only response you got. Her other hand was digging around in her jacket, probably looking for her keys. She stopped right outside the door, leaving you jostled right behind her as she jammed the key into the knob.

The door opened, and despite the outside hall light coming in, the rest of the apartment was pitch black. You didn't get a good chance to see it though, as Jay tugged you in and closed the door. "Quick, shoes and jackets off!"

"You know I don't like quick, quick gives me anxiety!" Jay didn't respond this time, instead leaving you inside her doorway in the dark apartment. You heard her footsteps get farther away from you and rolled your eyes in annoyance.

"Do you not turn lights on anymore?" You asked as you removed your jacket and boots. All you got in return was her signature mischievous giggle. "Unholy child. Jay i can't see!"

"Then turn the light on!" You stumbled a few steps forward and reached out blindly, hitting your hand against the wall until you finally found the light switch. As soon as you turned the light on-

"SURPRISE!"

You were met by a large group of people, all smiling wide, with Christmas and birthday decorations littering the walls and a snack buffet on the kitchen table and counters. Jay had somehow joined the group in the dark and was standing next to Jimin; the rest of his friends were there too, and some people from work, and in front of them all...

Yoongi walked towards you, a large bouquet made of poppies and a streaming coffee cup in his hands. You watched him with wide eyes and a dropped jaw as he smiled and quietly said, "Happy birthday jagiya."

You fought against the tears forming in your eyes. You took the coffee (which felt so nice on your frozen fingers) and looked around at everything. "You... did all this for me?"

"I told you he didn't forget!" Jay shouted, which was met by several people shushing her.

"I didn't forget," Yoongi told you, "I just wanted to make your first birthday we celebrate together special. So I rounded up the guys and asked Jay to keep you busy for the day."

You peaked over his shoulder to glare at your friend. "You were in on this?!"

"Of course I was! I'm the only one who can get you out of the house!" You were going to retort but Jay continued. "Now kiss your loving boyfriend who did not forget your birthday and let's get this party started!"

You smiled against your will and looked up. Sure enough, there was a small sprig of mistletoe hanging from the ceiling. "Did Namjoon put that up?"

Yoongi laughed. "You know we didn't let him near any food or decorations." You laughed with him, then you both leaned forward. Everyone cheered.

Kissing Yoongi was one of your favorite things in the entire world. He was always so gentle with you, and his lips were always so soft. You didn't kiss for long, seeing as you had an audience, but it was enough to heal all the small cracks that you had created throughout the day.

Someone turned on some Christmas music (probably Jungkook) and someone else popped the champagne (definitely Jimin). Yoongi took your hand and fully pulled you into the warm atmosphere. There was now a permanent smile affixed to your face.

Maybe this wasn't the worst birthday you'd ever had. Maybe it was, in fact, the best.

This wasn't great but I hope you liked it! Thank you for reading! And make sure you wish jj a happy birthday!!

Then Out of the Aether - (Chapter 3)

Summary: Eddie has a shit day, and you help him out. He is mostly sure he appreciates it.

Word count: 3,300

Warnings: Some brief angst in this chapter, but everyone is fine. Mention of past death of a parent.

A/N: Multi-chapter slow burn. Henderson!Reader

< Click here to find previous chapters >

____________________________________________

More often than not, you skip lunch. Well. You don’t actually skip so much as you just find alternatives to the lunchroom. Your best friend, Lindsey, doesn’t have the same lunch period as you, and you really don’t spend time with many other people here. So you’re more of a sit outside or go tuck away in some corner of the school to eat kind of gal.

But. The thing is …you’re not really supposed to have lunch anywhere besides the cafeteria or the picnic tables out back. Teachers rarely say anything, but now and then you’ll get corralled in the proper direction.

Today it had been M.r Kent, the droll Vice Principal, who spotted you

“Is this where you’re supposed to be, Ms Henderson”

No.

No it was not.

So you’re heading into the cafeteria hoping there’s a decent seat available even though you are now late and everyone will have claimed their place.

Awesome. The closest cafeteria door bursts open just as you’re reaching for it, nearly bowling you over.

“Jesus!” You skitter back.

“Oh. Other Henderson…” you glance up to see Eddie filling the doorway in all of his Metallica-shirted glory.

His face is taut. No trademark grin you’ve grown used to greeting you. No apology…hardly even an acknowledgment past the name he’s trying out today.

“Hey,” you greet and pointedly glance at the door.

His mouth remains grim.

“…watch where you’re going?” You attempt awkwardly, off-put by this version of him.

“Wanna fuck off with me, Henderson?”

That isn’t an apology at all.

“Um…like, skip?”

“No, not like skip — I fucking wish,” he groans up at the ceiling. “I’ve got a test later I can’t miss. I’m fucking off for the rest of lunch period.”

With this announced, he starts ushering you back away from the door even though you haven’t decided to go with him yet

This mysterious option does seem better than going into the lunchroom, though…

“Okay. But we gotta go outside”

“Fucking perfect”

“I already got kicked out of the stairway by Kent…”

Eddie gives a stern nod and leads the way.

His pace is quick and his posture stiff. The metal lunchbox clutched in his hand rattles at his side as he stomps.

“Did you…get in trouble?” you hazard a guess.

“No”

“…are you okay?”

“Do I seem okay?“ This answer is longer but just as clipped as the first.

Touché.

You cut your questions short, though you have more filed away. Eddie shoves open the front doors and makes a beeline for your tree where you sometimes work and wait for Dustin. Eddie knows that. He’s found you there a few times now. If he beats Dustin out of school and you’re still waiting he will stop and chat with you for a while, or maybe get nosey about what you’re working on if your sketchbook is out.

He’s never really stuck around though.

You certainly don’t go there with him.

Eddie drops down, legs bent and elbows propped up on his knees. He leaves plenty of room for you to sit up against the tree itself on the side you always like.

“Do you…need anything?”

It feels strange to ask. Unnatural. You really only help people do emotional labor if it’s Lindsey, Dustin, or maybe your mom. You don’t know how Eddie likes to talk about his feelings. Or, hell, if he likes to talk about that kind of thing at all.

“Nope,” he answers you while staring out toward the parking lot.

“M’kay…”

Sooooo you’re just supposed to ignore his stony face, clenched hands, and bouncing leg? Great. Awesome. Not awkward at all.

But he doesn’t seem to be looking for anything, so you flip open your bag and pull out the sack lunch you had started eating earlier. It isn’t exactly comfortable, but whoever you would’ve ended up with in the cafeteria might not have been great either so you just let it be what it is.

Eddie remains edgy. Bouncy. His heavy ringed fingers tap-tap-tapping against his arm. Agitation thrumming through him.

“Here,” you yank your Sony out of your bag. “You want this?”

He snaps his head around. Eyes the tape player in your hand, then eyes you. He pauses a few more seconds, but he takes it without a comment. He unwinds the headphones, slides them on, and snaps Play.

“… …Fleetwood?”

He doesn’t sound impressed, exactly.

“Sorry. My Black Sabbath collection is at home.”

He turns but the corner of his mouth twitches in a sardonic almost-smile.

“I bet…”

He’s not rejecting the music he has available to him. He leaves the headphones on and returns to staring off at the parking lot.

A few minutes later he scoots and stretches to lay sprawled out on the grass. He keeps a knee bent so it can bounce-bounce-bounce, and his thumb continues to tap-tap-tap on the cassette player where it rests on his stomach.

His eyes eventually close, so you watch him quietly while you eat.

Eddie may be known as the school “Freak” and all, and people like to call him “dangerous” …but you’ve never actually seen him upset. Annoyed, sure. And you’d seen him get in some near-fights before, but it would be fair to say other people were often the aggressors … …though Munson is something of an instigator.

Point is: this is new.

You keep expecting Jeff or Matt to show up to check in or haul him off.

No dice.

It’s just the two of you. Once you finish your sandwich and some Chex Mix, you get your sketchbook out of your bag and slide a pencil from the binding rings. Lunch isn’t an exceptionally long period, but you’ve still got time to relax and escape for a while.

And, as it happens, you now have a muse right in front of you. Eddie has a nice face and he is unmoving in profile for the moment.

So you start a little study in Munson. You know better than to let yourself get too lost in your head when you’re working at school, so you still keep a close eye on the time so you won��t be late.

“Hey,” you lean over to squeeze Eddie’s shin once it looks like time to pack up.

His eyes snap open and slide to you. He blinks once, twice before tugging your headphones off.

“Bell ring?”

“Not yet …soon, though. I wasn’t sure if you were asleep …”

“Nah, wasn’ sleeping …”

Eddie grunts as he sits. Then he wiggles the headphones the rest of the way off and starts winding up the cord the way you’d had it. He fidgets with it a while before returning it.

“…thanks.”

“I see you survived the selection”

Eddie smirks a little.

“I’ve heard worse….

“Obviously”

He huffs what could be a laugh and his eyes crinkle, but the sentiment doesn’t touch his mouth. When he meets your eyes, his whole face slowly goes lax.

“...I’m fine, you know.”

Hmmm.

“Okay”

Eddie rolls his wide eyes.

“I am. I just…” he stumbles over his own words and gets distracted by all the nothingness out in the parking lot again.

“Eddie, you don’t have to say an–”

“I do, though,” he laughs, dry and humorless. “Because now I’m just acting like some fucking weirdo who–”

“You’re not”

He chuffs.

“You’re not – you’re allowed to have a bad day”

“Bad day…”

“Yeah. Doesn’t matter why…sometimes I don’t even have a reason…” you share a little more than you want just to smooth things over for him and decrease the tension.

He starts twisting at one of his rings with his thumb.

“Got a letter from my old man today…well, I guess yesterday but I didn’t grab the mail til this morning…”

Oh boy.

You’ve…heard rumors. Guesses about where Eddie had moved from back in middle school, about why he lives with his Uncle. Stories that might be true but also may just as likely be tall tales from douchebag teenagers. The same kids who’d mocked your stutter in elementary school. Who had teased you and Lindsey for being joined at the hip in junior high – immature pricks. Some of the same ones who’d flushed one of your art tablets in the toilet Freshmen year.

The quieter you’d become, the more people just…kind of…went away. Eddie doesn’t often get quiet, and people have continued to talk.

But the point is you’d learned not to give many of your classmates too much credit. So whatever rumors you’ve heard don’t really matter.

Eddie can keep his secrets.

“Y–”

“He’s in prison,” he blurts before you can tell him so. “So that’s a whole thing… …”

There it is.

“I’m … …I don’t really know how to take that, sorry – do you miss him?”

“No,” he scoffs.

You watch his first clench over his knee.

“Oh…okay,” your eyes scan the area, to check the parking lot that so interests him, and to peek around and make sure you are actually alone. “Then…”

“Don’t, man…”

You watch the muscle of his jaw clench and unclench.

Right.

You should just stop. You don’t have any right.

Only…you’d thought Jeff or Gareth might come out - maybe Matt, though he’s the quietest of them. But they hadn’t. None of them had. Maybe they didn’t even know to.

So. That leaves…you?

“I just…I’m sorry that it hurts”

Eddie scrapes his thumbnail over his bottom lip and side-eyes you. His dark eyes make you want to look away. You don’t. You gaze back trying to convey some sort of solidarity…for whatever that’s even worth.

Slowly, he nods.

“Pisses me off is what it does …”

Yeah. You’re getting that. You’re sure there’s more to it but, yes, he’s definitely exuding some spice of anger.

“...I’m sure that’s hard.”

He nods, staring off to your left, now, where there is only a tree.

“It’s easier when he just stays gone…”

“...yeah?” He doesn't seem to need much prompting. Not really.

“Mhmm…like if I choose on my own to talk about him – or not– it’s nothing. It’s stupid. I can joke about it. But then if he tries to pop-off…” he shakes his head, hair flopping a bit as his gaze lowers.

“...I think I get that,” you sigh and dig your shoe at the ground.

A hissy little huff emits from beside you.

“Yeah?” Eddie tilts his head in your direction. “Your dad headed to the slammer, too? We can be twins?”

You squirm a little under his cynical eye.

You should say nothing. Let him assume you’d miscalculated with your empathy and said the wrong thing. Only…you think the conflict he’s feeling is normal. Truly. Probably as normal as anything else, anyway.

“Well, uh, no…our dad passed away,” you press your heel harder into the grass. It rips at the tiny roots.

“Fuck”

“I know it’s not the same – I’m not mad at him. But…sometimes if my mom mentions him or Dustin asks about him, it’s a shock, you know? It used to really take my breath away – I hated it. Talking about him, I mean…”

Eddie is staring. You can feel it. See it when you flicker your eyes over.

“Yeah,” his voice is dull, quiet as he nods. “It’s like that. Like it knocks the wind right out of me…shit. Fuck,” he groans and scrubs his hands over his face. “Here I am complaining about my old man…”

“Don’t,” you whisper and slump against the tree. “It’s different. I was lucky my dad was sweet – other people still get to complain about their parents. If he hurts you, you get to be pissed or…you get to feel whatever you feel.”

Eddie only sighs. Unsure.

“It’s different,” You insist.

Lindsey still does that sometimes – chokes over bitching about her parents and gives you a look. Checks. But it’s fine.

Do you have days where you want to scream at your classmates complaining over vapid home drama? Sure. And on those days sometimes you go talk to Ms. Kelley, the guidance counselor. But most days you understand that all sorts of people have all sorts of shit to complain about. Not better or worse, just different.

“...guess shit’s rough all over,” Eddie mumbles.

Exactly.

“So they say…”

“And, sorry about…” he waves at you indistinctly.

Which is better than some people your age manage.

“Thanks. Me too…”

The quiet seems a little less strained, now. Though maybe it’s not what you would call comfortable.

The bell should ring any minute, and you wish you knew whether you’d actually helped Eddie out. Like, had he wanted something from you when he’d invited you out here with him? Or just a presence? …you don’t know.

“Did you, uh, read the letter? Or did you want someone t–”

“Yes I read it,” Eddie snaps. “I’m not completely fucking pathetic”

“No, I know y–”

You’re cut off by the bell.

Because of course it rings right now. Of course it couldn’t have done its thing a minute sooner before you opened your mouth again! Ugh.

Eddie shoves up to his feet. You’re sure he’s never responded to a school bell so fast in his life— like he’d been waiting for just this permission to bail.

Great.

Fine.

This never happened. You get it.

So you’re surprised when a ringed hand descends to hover a foot or so from your face.

Huh.

You slip your hand across Eddie’s palm and he squeezes to give you a tug and help you to your feet.

“Thanks,” you brush off your ass and follow alongside him to get back to your locker. “So. Um. What period is your test?” you toe the waters of casual conversation after…that.

“Sixth”

“Ooooh, math. Good luck.”

Eddie grumbles something unintelligible and ducks off in the other direction as soon as you get inside.

You watch him go and wish you’d had a better parting line. Something more encouraging or reassuring or ….more anything, really. Eddie is more than a little perturbed to see you at the end of the week for Weekly Sibling Pickup Time.

He shouldn’t be — he’s a fucking chump, though, is the thing. When it comes to his old man, he’s never doing what he wishes he was.

Is never stoic enough.

Is never ready enough.

Can never just be fucking cold enough.

Damn.

So when he clocks you showing up and lingering around the doorway in that way you do…he gets a little tense. Bothered. Wants to shoo you away. Wants to tell Dustin and Mike to fuck off so you’ll go with them.

He doesn’t because he has manners, thanks.

But he wants to.

And he doesn’t like that feeling. Doesn’t want to be hyper aware and don’t-look-don’t-look-DON’T-LOOK about it.

He shouldn’t have said so much, that’s the thing. He’d feel fucking fine if he’d just brushed by you when he almost ran you over outside the cafeteria. Or if he’d just listened to your Fleetwood Mac and kept his mouth fucking shut.

But nooooo.

He thinks, now, that he’d just wanted to blurt it out somewhere to stop himself from telling his Uncle about it.

And you’d been there. With your deep, clear, and always-kind-of-sad eyes that were always watching and seeing and…shit. He’d felt like you could see all the truth of his angst anyway. It always seemed like you saw him. Which was usually a little exciting and fun and he wanted to poke at it with a stick, but apparently that shit is a little dangerous too.

Jesus Christ.

Now he just wants you to go away because you bring those deep, quiet eyes everywhere you go and he doesn’t want them pointed at him. No sir.

Because he’s fine now.

He’s always fine once he has some time.

His old man makes him feel some kind of way, but it never lasts once Eddie can compartmentalize him back into the box labeled “He’s Over There, and I Have Uncle Wayne Now.” It’s a nice box, all things considered.

But you?

You need to go away.

No looking at him.

No saying anything. Jesus H, what if you want to talk? Nope. Noooooope. No way, he will just have to keep himself busy until you vacate the premises.

Begone!

Too bad Dustin and Mike are on a roll asking Jeff where he’d gotten his new dice and grumbling between themselves about whose parents might be willing to take them out there. Or should they stick with the mall — they can ride their bikes that far. Or should they try something by mail order. Or will they have to wait til Christmas. Or —

“Okay, boys, see you later,” Eddie swipes the rest of his things into his bag and zips up.

Even Jeff looks surprised.

“Got an appointment”

Jeff picks up on and nods at the implication Eddie has a sale to make. The younger two look bemused — Eddie’s not certain if they know about some of his money making ventures and is happy to keep it that way.

“See you freaks next week,” he offers a wiggle of his fingers and a smile.

“Later Eddie”

“Bye” Only one more barrier to being home free: you.

And he’s pretty certain you are surmountable.

“Henderson,” he nods to you on his way through.

Done and done.

Just like that.

“Hey…”

Your greeting is innocuous. He could easily breeze by — he’d intended to do just that no matter what you said. Only a “hey” could also be probing, maybe, and so he finds himself turning around like a real fucking idiot.

He hasn’t made it too far past you. He can see your eyes dart over him in assessment.

“Are you…good?”

He huffs out his nose.

“What, do I not look good?”

A brow lifts but he doesn’t quite meet your eyes. Not until you give a slow nod and start to turn your warm eyes away to wait on Dustin.

Just as well.

He is good. Why’re you trying to remind him he hadn’t been?

He knows, in some honest part of himself, that it’s kindness. Kind people check in and shit. Thoughtful people.

But he’s much more happy to be annoyed about it. This feeling of righteous indignation carries him all the way to his van. He climbs in, slams the door, and congratulates himself on his fast break as he starts the engine.

He feels safe enough to slow down. He relaxes in his seat and flips radio stations to find something good.

He’s still sitting there, vibing with some Def Leppard, when Dustin and Mike dart into the parking lot. You’re close on their heels today, but you wait over on the sidewalk after some frantic hand waving from Dustin. You’re a good sister that way …not that Eddie knows much about sisters. It’s just a thought he has.

You spot him.

Or, rather, you spot his van — he knows he must look like a vague shadow from where you’re standing.

Still, you wave.

It’s a small thing. Just a wiggling of your fingers while you look in his direction, kind of hidden down by your waist like you’re unsure of the gesture.

Because of course he’s put you off.

For all that he’d done it on purpose, he suddenly thinks he might feel a little guilty.

You’re just fucking being nice! With distance and darkness between you, that really doesn’t seem so bad anymore …

He considers getting out. He could come over and talk and smooth it over…only the plan makes him squirm all over again.

He waves back instead.

It’s delayed and pretty chickenshit besides, but he does it: thrusts his hand out the window and waggles it in your direction.

You wave a few fingers back in recognition before Dustin pulls up and gets in the way.

It’s fucking something.

He can head home and only feel like half an asshole, he thinks.

You know what I thought about?

A scenerio in which Alma had realized what her grief Has made to her family way earlier on.

But she's completly lost and still doesn't want to seem weak in front if the village. So in that Lindsey that EVERYONE will be better of without her... she flees Encanto...

Imagine the chaos...

STOPPPP THAT’S SO SAD 😞

Poor Alma <\\3333 She just dips. Which is quite possible the worse case scenario. The again this may warrant a road trip to go FIND Alma because. She might’ve taken it a bit far the perfectionism but she don’t gotta leave because of it 😭 homegirl just needed to open and talk. She doesn’t tell anyone either, not a soul. She might leave a letter, maybe, but outside of that? Nothing. No one sees her leave, but the family immediately realizes she’s gone, it doesn’t take them long. They stall the town, but they eventually figure it out 🥸

Anyway she probably ends up in a house on the edge of some random town in the middle of nowhere. She doesn’t wanna draw too much attention in fear of hurting someone else. She’s a little paranoid not. La Bruja, ‘that old lady who lives on the edge of town that doesn’t talk to anyone’.

I think it would take place before Camilo and Mirabel’s ceremony. Like right before Camilo’s. Maybe like a 6ear before? And then eventually one of the two, probably Mirabel is like “why don’t we just go get Abuela?”. And the younger ones are like “yeah, she left the Encanto, so if she can leave, why can’t we leave to go find her?” And the older members are wow. Why didn’t we think of that? That’s a great idea.

Yeah some road-trip. It’s WILD ASF. They’re all excited to leave the Encanto (leaving the village to fend for themselves. Because. Why not). Casita is there to protect the candle so no one can take it so they’re good to go. It’s absolute chaos though, all the little kids are screaming and running around out of sheer excitement, Agustín is trying not to die from literally everything, Felíx can’t read a map to save his life and Bruno is just chasing after the kids. Julieta is tying to make sure everyone is ok and Pepa is about to start a hurricane because she can’t find Dolores, Luisa or Mirabel, all of who are playing hide and seek with Isabela and Camilo 🤥

At one point Agustín gets his hands on a bus (how NO ONE KNOWS) and everyone gets in but he’s a terrible driver so they’re swerving left and right. Thing is no one can TELL he’s a bad driver because. None of them even know what a bus really is so. (though at this time buses are a new concept to Colombia as a whole, so they sort of get a pass). Anyway, they just think it’s normal 💀💀 and at first he was driving like an old person. But then the kids kept begging him to go faster and he caved and finally went at a more reasonable speed.

Don’t even get me started on Felíx when it was his turn at the wheel. That man is a speed demon, he doesn’t know what this is strange machine is, but it moves, and this pedal makes it go faster. Let me stomp on it.

I’m sorry I’m rambling let me shut up 💀

Give This Undead Fiend Friend a Name

Like a personal name. I already have what they are, an ouroboros from the Unseen Hand, figured out.

Quick fun facts (brief mention of skin-related body horror in #4)

Occupation: Evil Open-minded necromancer

Ageless, deathless, tireless

No gender in particular--that stuff don't matter once you're with the maggots, bay-bee

Stitches bits of skin onto themself and bits of fur/hide onto their cloak so they can take on another person or creature's shape

Hobbies: Sewing, traveling, terrorizing victims, long walks through the desert wastes and ruined cities of the States, Scrabble tournaments

Dislikes fire, damp conditions (an undead's true nemesis), small dogs, and their boss

Eternal gratitude for sharing suggestions in the tags.

Excerpt under the cut (warnings for skin-related body horror, supernatural horror)

Impact smashed in the back window just as Isaac threw the gear into reverse. Stinging bits of jagged safety glass pelted his neck and shoulder. He met a pair of glowing eyes in the rearview mirror. Not sea-blue but the dull, smoldering red of dying coals set deep in sunken sockets. A gruesome smile, teeth filed to points, cracked open across a pale, craggy face. Isaac had no idea what the creature crawling, spider-like, into the backseat was, but it terrified him more than anything outside the car. He stomped on the emergency brake and scrambled out.

The gaunt thing inside kicked open the rear passenger door. Isaac turned to sprint back to the yard, but skidded to a stop, his escape blocked by the two guardians. He decided to face the bigger threat stepping out of the car. In the evening light, the creature’s skin looked mottled, even its bare scalp. A patchwork of various tans, browns, and whites just like the cloak hanging on its tall frame was a mix of different hides and furs. A swell of nausea rolled through Isaac’s middle when he noticed dimpled scars from stitches outlining each individual patch on the thing’s body.

So the boxes…

The season two present day timeline is like a shell game. Which box are you watching?

There’s the fly that’s a box. Inside a matchbox. Inside a moving box.

But, I would argue, those aren’t the boxes to watch.

Because the actual mystery of the season two present day timeline isn’t What’s the big bad? It isn’t Why is Jim?

The boxes to watch are the ones with plants with them. The ones in the back of the Bentley. Because the actual mystery of S2 present is

Why is Crowley living in his car?

And the answer, because other people’s love lives are simpler than our own, is because they don’t talk.

Aziraphale has never said “You can stay at my place, if you like.” Now I’m sure he’s dropped hints. We saw him go out of his way to imply it was THEIR bookshop. We see him fondly reach out and touch Crowley. He is sure that. Crowley MUST know he is welcome. But Crowley stays in his car. We eventually see Aziraphale come up with an excuse to yeet the Bentley out from under Crowley, forcing him into the bookshop, (because even though they went to Tadfield together, Aziraphale goes to Edinburgh alone).

But he hasn’t said “you can stay at my place, if you like.”

And Crowley NEEDS him to say it. Deep down, he’s hurt that Aziraphale hasn’t said it. The Archangel-fucking-Gabriel was invited to stay at the bookshop, of all people! But not him. At least, not directly and unambiguously. Not like he NEEDS to hear it.

When Aziraphale finally forces his hand, he stalks around the bookshop throwing piles of books around. He reaches out, by radio, and stomps on Aziraphale and the Bentley having fun. He blackmails Aziraphale to “go faster” under threat of box sales! And he shoves a box full of plants into Aziraphale’s hands the very second the angel comes back.

And the two of them carry the actual mystery boxes, the boxes full of plants, back to the Bentley together. Even though neither of them actually want that.

If you watch the actual mystery boxes, the ending doesn’t come out of nowhere at all.

In the season 2 present, Aziraphale is not okay. Crowley is not okay. They are traumatised, they are huddled in the eye of a storm. They are tense, depressed and waiting for the inevitable next big one. They express it in entirely different ways, but the traumas bone deep for each. The bookshop is full of fire-extinguishers. Crowley watches the ducks alone.

Their traumas match. Their traumas mirror. Crowley revolts. Aziraphale forgives.

And they don’t talk.

They throw themselves into the Nina-and-Maggie-Love-Plot. You know the one? How they need to make Nina and Maggie fall in love, to thwart the existential threat of……………Muriel?

These two have discussed ethics for millennia. And yet, they never discuss if it’s ethical to make Nina and Maggie fall in love. And yet, they don’t even seem aware that Nina is being abused. That Lindsey even exists.

These two have strategised for Millennia. Fooled angels and demons for millennia with little lies. And yet, they don’t seem to consider that making two people fall in love is actually a whole lot harder than tricking, again, Muriel!

They throw themselves into the love plot. Separately. Into the rain storm. Into the ball. Crowley seems the happiest he’s been in ages! Aziraphale gives away books! They are terrified and frantic and pretending to be happy.

They are not okay. Why is Crowley still living in his car?

Finally the lesser mystery is solved. And Crowley reverts to the love-story script. To the Booze, the Ritz, Nightingales.

But they are not okay.

The Metatron injects a single sip of latte exactly into the fault line between them, and everything shatters.

Aziraphale can’t go to Alpha Centauri.

Crowley can’t go back to Heaven.

They are both so shocked and sad. Because it was a shell game and they were watching the wrong box.

The plants are in the mystery box

They don’t talk.

They love each other so much.

They don’t talk.

They are not okay.

The Sunnydale Herald Newsletter, Wednesday, February 28

WESLEY: Mr. Giles. I'd like your opinion. While the last thing I want to do is muddle bad behavior in front of impressionable youth, I wonder if asking Miss Chase to dance would... GILES: For God's sake, man, she's eighteen. And you have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone. Just have at it, would you, and stop fluttering about. WESLEY: Right, then. Thanks for that.

My thoughts on season two of Good omens.

AHHHHHH???? WHAT THE HECK????

This season was a ✨nightmare✨ and let me explain why but first…

⚠️SPOILER WARNING OF THE SEASON OF GOOD OMENS⚠️

Also,this essay is very unprofessional so yeah.

Alright let’s do it.

To start this off the two lesbians that we meet are so cute, I appreciate how the accurately represented a toxic relationship between two people. It feels good that they’re showing that all relationships can be 100% toxic and that feels so good. The two gays were called Nina and Maggie, Maggie is in love with Nina but unfortunately she’s in a “relationship” with Lindsey. It is shown that Lindsey is toxic based on the text messages she had sent to Nina which include the following. “If you had any self-respect, you wouldn’t have left this morning. I had a lot more to say. I can not believe how self-centered you are.” , “the front key is by the kettle please don’t try to get in touch with me. If you need me I will be with my sister at least she cares about someone other than herself.” , “I am so done with this.” , “I am a real person, I matter. Why don’t you care?” , “you she a good deal of explaining to do.” , “I’v had enough of this Nina.” , “at least on of us takes this relationship seriously.” , “please remember we agreed to mutual respect?” Most things like that.

Lindsay sucks, she is toxic and extremely narcissistic. In this case this is a really toxic situation. Nina is getting blamed onto why the relationship is unsteady and Nina feels like

Lindsay is right even though in this case it is completely backwards. In no situation should someone (I am talking to whom ever is reading this.) should ever do this, send things like this; if they are. Break up with them. I am (pretty sure) this is a pretty accurate way of how a toxic relationship is for someone. Lindsay was tired that Nina wasn’t giving letting her take full control with her so she broke up with her in hopes that (A) she would beg her not to and give in all control under her or (B) wishes to go of and manipulate someone else. As I just said this is a BAD relationship.

Now after Lindsay brutally broke up with Nina Aziraphale and Crowley's go off to work on Nina and Maggie. Well to say the least they did not end up getting together officially due to

Nina becoming single recently which is fair, and Maggie is okay with that. It is confirmed that both of them do have feeling for each other. The difference between that is if that was Lindsay she would be furious that Nina didn’t jump to the opportunity to be in a relationship. Long story short, they are just the CUTEST.

LORDY LORD Ineffable Bureaucracy is CANNON BABY

Now I love Ineffable Bureaucracy, and I am delighted that it’s cannon and actually I have no complaints on how they carried out. They showed how they got together I just wish it had a entire episode and instead of giving it all to us at once that there was more of a hunt, but I’m happy we got it at all. People started shipping this the moment that the show came out and it’s is a fantastic ship. The two higher powers who think it’s wrong to date out of the side they’re on…then date out side the side they’re on…and are proud of it. THERE SO CUTE AHH—!

I find it so cute and adorable that they are so confident about their relationship. Gabriel knew why he was getting demoted and was okay with it, glad even in a way. I don’t have much to say about it because of how short it was but, this was great.

Alright let’s talk about the absolute abomination that is the last seven minutes of the last episode.

Ineffable husband just took my heart out and put it on a silver platter just to rip it off

said platter and stomp on it aggressively. I was going through a whole fit! This gave me more feelings of joy than pain than the new miraculous ladybug/cat noir movie. I ran around my living room in a happy fit glancing at the T.V then running around again to laying on the floor like the family guy death lay. This last episode hurt me so badly!

The end of the episode…ends with the Metatron man himself decided to come in and talk to Aziraphale, little did I know this would cause CHAOS! Also Maggie and Nina come and talk to Crowley, basically saying “stop messing with us to live out what you two want from each other.” And well more hell on earth.

Aziraphale comes in a has a little chat telling Crowley the…gOoD news well Crowley doesn’t LiKe the news and then tells Aziraphale his NeWs. Well…did it end well? NOPE! NOT EVEN A LITTLE BIT.

Crowley says they could have been ‘us’ just us but Aziraphale what’s it to be ‘us’ in a different way. They argue about what life it is the want, life as an angel is or life on earth. Then Crowley try’s to take their leave but before they do. Guyyyysssss!!!!

✨THEY KISSED✨ SHIRT GRAB AND EVERYTHING but…it didn’t work out. They still disagreed. Aziraphale went off with with Metatron, and Crowley into his car.

How did I feel about this? Like the world hates me. That I should kill it and burn it with fire. Alas this was probably the smartest way to end of the second season of a love story I have ever seen. This was gut wrenching, and it hurt my soul but this was SO GOOD. It felt horrible seeing the two characters I love to death not get together even if they could. I can not wait for the next season!

It comes out in 2025 greatttttt.

#THANK YOU #NEIL GAIMAN!#good omens 2 spoilers #good omens 2 #this show is so good #my heart #My heart on a silver Platter #i feel like im going insane #this gave me feelings #i’m normal #AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH #Essay

Jayne Denham’s Album ‘Moonshine’ Hits You Like White Lightning

Jayne Denham, proving again that she’s the dominant female force in Australian country rock music, unveils a new groundbreaking album titled Moonshine with the mind-blowing focus track “Lovin’ A Wild Thing.” ‘If you want the fire gotta dance in the flames, that’s what you get for lovin’ a wild thing.’ This focus track is penned by talented songwriters Brian White, Jason Sever, Ben Glover, and Chad Brownlee. The album is infused with the spirited essence of the Prohibition era of risk-taking, love affairs, and dedicated moonshine runners, the resonating themes and sounds blend uniquely in today’s modern country music scene. Drawing inspiration from the raw, wild, and action-packed sounds of that time, Jayne embarks on a sonically rich journey that evokes the spirited and illegal act of moonshine production. With Moonshine, Jayne’s musical voyage pays homage to the adventurous thrill seekers and inevitable heartbreak that characterized a period defined by defiance and rebellion. Miranda Lambert, Brandy Clark, Shane McAnally, and Jon Randall all take part in this musical campaign, as their lyrics and songs were all chosen specifically to bring Jayne’s Moonshine album to life. Building on the success of her chart-topping album WANTED, which earned a Golden Guitar nomination for Contemporary Album of the Year in 2022, Jayne invites listeners on an adventure with Moonshine, a 10-track album that features various Grammy-winning and Grammy-nominated songwriters, once again proving why she’s Australia’s leading country rock female artist. Jayne has had various number-one hits with her industry peers. In March 2023, Jayne released her album title track, “Moonshine,” featuring Colt Ford, written by Cameron Jaymes, Colin Elmore, and Melissa Peirce. The boot-stomping cross-country collaboration infused Jayne’s country rock roots, captivating audiences worldwide with placements on CMT USA, CMT Official Top 30 in Australia, No. 5 on KIX Country, and CountryTown Hot 50. The second single, “Face of the Sun,” written by Brian White, Megan Conner, and Pete Stewart, does not hold back with emotion or rawness. “Stunt Double,” is an upbeat, fun, and cheeky song that makes listeners envision a movie in their minds from the minute they hear the lyrics. Written by Trevor Rosen, Hillary Lindsey, and Shane McAnally, it placed No. 1 on the Country Radio charts and landed on New Music Friday (USA). The fourth single release, “Are You Ready For This,” with Hurricane Fall, written by Jessi Alexander, Jon Randall, and Miranda Lambert, is a wild, loud, and rockin’ song that will get any party started. Landing on the Top 10 Tamworth Hottest Australian Country Hits, Top 40 Australian Airplay Chart, and No. 6 on the Country Thunder Top 30 Chart. The final Moonshine single of the year was “Chain Smokin’,” written by Brandy Clark (Miranda Lambert, Reba McEntire, Darius Rucker, and Kacey Musgraves) and hit songwriters Matt Jenkins and Trevor Rosen. If you have felt the void of being lonely and found yourself caught in a rollercoaster of emotions in a relationship to fill the gap, then the hard-hitting lyrical choice sets the stage for what’s to come. “‘Moonshine’ is the next evolution in my series of era-inspired albums,” says Jayne. “While WANTED paid homage to the rugged, horseback days of old spaghetti westerns, this new record delves into the gritty, rebellious spirit of the prohibition era. Imagine mixing up a big pot of outlaw tales from the hills, seasoned with country rock. It’s about capturing the essence of a time when moonshiners ruled the backwoods and fast cars roared through the countryside. I wanted to infuse this album with that untamed energy and transport listeners to a world where the spirit of rebellion runs deep and the music hits hard.” Moonshine was produced by Grammy-nominated songwriters and producers Brian White, who has earned sixteen #1 songs, two Dove Awards for Song of the Year, and the recent #1 “Blame It On You” (Jason Aldean), and Brian Bunn, whose songs have been recorded by Lee Brice, Jackson Dean, Chase Matthew, Parmalee, and more. The project incorporates a unique blend of country rock with a gritty edge. With soaring vocals, Jayne exudes her energy, captivating audiences with her renowned live shows, including most recently headlining her sold-out show at the Tamworth Country Music Festival, solidifying her status as a powerhouse in the country-rock scene. “These stories remain wild and outlaw with a contemporary twist. I thoroughly enjoyed curating songs that perfectly complement the narrative of this album. From the badass anthems to the moments of pure fun, party vibes, and heart-wrenching ballads,” adds Jayne. “I love crafting an album that serves as a musical journey for my fans, from the opening track, “The Moonshine Raid,” to the discovery of “Moonshine Money,” where we uncover the hidden treasures stashed away by Uncle Jimmy. In a world dominated by singles, I take pride in delivering a cohesive body of work that tells a story, allowing listeners to immerse themselves in the narrative from start to finish.” To accompany the Moonshine album, Jayne has partnered with Franklin County Distillery, located in the mountains of Virginia, known as the “Moonshine Capital of the World,” to release her own line of two different-flavored moonshines, Ridge Runner Pear and Orchard Peach.
