Fffffffuhhhhhh. They're also missing a few possible positions. But I get it. Amazon has an image to uphold.

It was there, before it was there.
For Hal, it was dreams. Awake and asleep, he would finally fly. There he went farther and faster than his father ever did. Tinged in green, he would touch the stars. But it always ended the same. He was a Jordan, after all. At least the end was warm, like sunlight.
Guy got knocked down a lot. Picked himself back up a lot too. Sometimes went down again right after. Each time though, for a second after, he could only see green.
John heard voices. Sometimes just a few, a council, old and wise-- sometimes more: a town, a city, a planet. They all wanted something. Wanted him to do- to be- ..... something. Well, they could just get in line.
Kyle would know things sometimes. But only sometimes. Moments in between moments. In his dreams, he always knew his father's face. They would smile, and talk, and share a drink. Then his eyes would open, and the blurry photo would return.
Once Simon saw an injured squirrel on the ground. It looked almost dead. He touched it, and it rose up and scurried away. His arm ached. His mother scolded him for using the markers (what markers?) again. He took it as a sign. Courage.
Jessica knew whispers well. They told her that she was a mess. That she was weak, or scared. Sometimes it was her own voice. Sometimes it wasn't. Sometimes, it even told her she was strong. Brave.She always liked those ones the best.
Jo's phone never died. Or rather, never stayed dead. On nights she would stumble in, tired from work, friends, or if she was lucky, the cute girl at the bar, she would leave her nearly-dead phone on her desk, cord forgotten. In the morning though, it would always be ready for her, battery life pulsing green.
It was there, before it was there.

im shocked that the jo and zoey dynamic isn’t more popular. something something zoey disliking jocks and jo disliking conventional femininity -> their preconceived judgements and assumptions being challenged when they interact more,,, zoey putting on makeup for jo and helping her understand her complex relationship w femininity + jo allying with zoey after mikes elimination and helping her channel the anger we see during her commando arc. you know?

saw pearl jam was touring, specifically that they'd be in portland on may 10th this year, but it got me thinking, what if sometime pre-massacre, jo and kai snuck out to a concert together just to be siblings together and try not to worry about all their coven and family related shit. yeah jo was probably a little afraid of him, and kai's a little weary of her, but they're still twins and love each other despite the fact that they'll have to kill each other via merge in a couple of years, and despite the fact that kai was born different and could kill her if he chose. but for a night, she chooses to ignore that, because she wants one last, good memory with her brother before their world goes to complete shit. so they sneak out to a concert, stealing the family car or catching a bus, and let the music drown out their reality; let them forget the madness that plagues them, just for one night, before crashing in a hotel room and returning the next morning. maybe their parents are pissed, and maybe they blame kai, but jo sticks up for him one last time and pleads it was her idea; she convinced him to sneak out; she wanted to be with him, and their mother rests a hand on their father's shoulder, and he gives them both a lighter sentence of grounding. it does end up being one of the last good memories that kai and jo share, but it is one that neither will ever forget.
