➳ Intak ┊ 황인탁

It had been like that for a whole week already. Every single day, you only saw Intak late at night, when he came back home after his never-ending schedules of the day. Sometimes, he would sit on the couch, scrolling through his phone, or he would go directly to sleep, but in any of those cases would he say a word. You understood he had a lot of work, especially now that he was preparing for another promotion season and upcoming festivals, and it wasn’t surprising that his energy was completely drained. You decided it would be better to leave him some space, only wishing him a good night quietly when you went to bed.

It has never been this bad, though. Of course he has previously gone through periods of time when he was busier with work but it never made him build such a barrier between you two. It couldn’t be healthy for a person as energetic and affectionate as Intak to be this exhausted, and not to say distant — you were starting to miss your boyfriend so badly.

One day like any other, Intak came home when you were sitting in the living room, watching TV. He put his bag aside and came to sit next to you, letting out a tired sigh as soon as his body met the comfortable couch. He had his eyes closed as you took a look at his face and bit your lip, hesitating to initiate a conversation. “Did you have dinner?”, you asked carefully. He shook his head as a response. “Do you want me to make you something to eat?”, you asked again. “No, I’m not hungry”.

You stayed silent for a bit, not daring to insist. Maybe it wasn’t the best moment to address the situation properly, even though you had been thinking about expressing your concern about him for days. You let go of this idea while looking at him, visibly tired. Instead, you decided to reach for his hand, hoping some physical contact would ease the atmosphere and bring him some comfort.

Just a second after your fingers touched his, he took his hand away and stood up abruptly, almost as if he had got a shock. “I’m going to bed”, he said, not making eye-contact. Your heart broke in pieces because of his rejection and you couldn’t hold it in anymore. “Wait!”, your voice was louder than you intended, but you didn’t care. “What the hell is wrong with you?”. He turned around, genuinely surprised by your reaction, only to find you on the verge of tears. “I get that you’re stressed but, is it really that difficult to talk to me? I’m tired of this silent treatment and I’m tired of feeling like a burden to you”.

The next thing you knew was that Intak was wrapping his arms around you, holding you against him like his life depended on it. “Please, don’t say that,” his voice was soft against your ear. “I didn’t mean to make you feel like that. I’m so sorry”. His sincere apology and his familiar scent finally surrounding you after so long made your tears fall silently and land on his T-shirt. You closed your eyes and buried your face in the crook of his neck as he kept caressing your back.

“I didn’t want to worry you with my issues but I ended up pushing you away. I didn’t realize I was hurting your feelings,” he continued. “Please, forgive me”. You pulled away enough to look at his face. “I forgive you. But, next time, you need to open up to me instead of holding it all in. That’s what I’m here for, you idiot”. He let out a chuckle before kissing your forehead and pulling you back into a hug. “Yes ma’am. I will”.

➳ Soul ┊ 白翔太

You were on the bus, on your way back home after a long day of work, only wanting to be surrounded by the warmth of your apartment where Shota was supposed to be waiting for you. He had just returned from the group’s overseas tour, so you had agreed on having a little cosy at-home date. He wanted to prepare a little surprise for you since you two hadn’t been able to have a proper date for the couple of months he’d been away, so he had ordered some food from your favorite place and picked a movie to watch while cuddling.

You were only one bus stop away from yours when a notification popped on your phone screen. It was from P1Harmony’s official social media account, so you unlocked your phone, suddenly curious about what it was about. Your brows furrowed in confusion as you read the post, which was announcing the group’s new tour starting next month. You shook your head, refusing to believe that. You checked again, hoping that it was only a fan account, but that wasn’t the case. You scrolled a bit more only to see the fans’ reactions to the announcement, which confirmed that the tour was in fact going to take place.

You got off the bus, millions of thoughts running through your head. You first thought about how crazy it was for the company to send the boys again on tour when they had just returned from their previous one. It hurt so much to think that you had been waiting for so long to finally have your boyfriend back only for them to send him away this soon. But then, you thought about Shota. He must have known about this, and you couldn’t understand why he hadn’t said a word to you. You felt betrayed and disappointed that he chose not to let you know, as if it had nothing to do with you. Looking for a good reason for him not to share this important information, you totally forgot he was waiting for you at home.

You unlocked the front door with tears gathering in your eyes due to the sudden and overwhelming flow of feelings, and once you entered, you heard Shota’s voice behind you. “Hi, love. How was today?”. You heard his steps, indicating he was approaching you. You turned around and he was smiling sweetly at you, but that smile faded as soon as he noticed your expression. “What’s wrong? Did something happen?”.

You didn’t answer. You let your bag fall to the ground, not caring a bit about it, and took out your phone to show him the tour announcement you saw. “Would you mind explaining this?”. Shota went pale at the sight of the post. “I’m sorry, Y/N. I…”, he tried to apologize but you cut him off. “When were you gonna tell me that you’re going away again?”, you asked in a cold tone. “I was waiting for the right moment”, he said, his voice almost a whisper. “And when is that? When you’re already on the plane?” your voice cracked. “I just got you back, Shota”, you couldn’t keep on talking, or else the tears would fall.

He took a step closer to you, starting to realize the mistake he had made, but you stepped away from him. “Why didn’t you tell me?”, and that’s when the first tear rolled down your cheek. “I was going to, really. I just… I wanted to spend some more time with you without worrying about the distance again. I didn’t expect the announcement to be released this soon…”, he explained.

Shota reached out his hand to wipe one of your tears away and, seeing that this time you didn’t reject him, he came closer to wrap his arms around you, holding you impossibly close to him. “I’m sorry I’m leaving. But this time is not going to be for so long”. You shook your head. “It wasn’t that what bothered me. I want you to tell me this type of things. I never want to find out about stuff like this through social media again, okay?”.

“You’re right. It won’t happen again”, he promised and kept on holding you, pressing a kiss to your hair to seal the promise.

➳ Jongseob ┊ 김종섭

You’ve been insisting to Jongseob about how bad his room needed a makeover since the boys moved dorms and they didn’t have to share rooms anymore. Now, he had full freedom to choose his own furniture and decorations, although he found it kind of overwhelming. However, with your help, he had spent a couple of days buying his new items online, and they had finally arrived.

You came over to Jongseob’s place on his day off, when he had planned to rearrange his room. “I told you, you didn’t have to come,” he said as you two were taking the boxes into his room. “It’s a lot of work and it’s your free day”. “I don’t mind, really. It’s gonna be fun. Plus, I wanted to see you today”, you smiled at him and he returned the gesture, not able to hide his blush.

You placed the heavy box down, the one containing the pieces of the desk you were supposed to build. Jongseob had already taken the old desk outside, so now you had plenty of space to start figuring out how to build the new one. It was actually very entertaining to follow all the steps, even though it was taking you longer than normal due to lots of shared laughs and maybe some kisses.

To be honest, you were finding it a bit hard to do some things because, just the day before, you had gone to get your nails done — you had opted for longer nails this time, so you were still getting used to them. Jongseob laughed loudly when he saw how much you were struggling to pick a screw up from the ground, and he still had a grin on his face when he grabbed it for you. “Your claws are bothering you?”, he teased and you scoffed loudly at him. “Don’t you dare call my nails ‘claws’ ever again. They’re not that long”, you tried reaching for the screw Jongseob was holding but he kept taking it away, holding it above his head so you couldn’t grab it. “Sure they’re not”, he kept on teasing while you two laughed at your attempts to catch the screw. You literally had to get on top of him to reach the little piece of metal, not that he complained.

You finished building the new desk and now it was time to move it from the middle of the room towards the wall. It was actually heavier than you thought so it took the two of you to do it, slightly lifting each edge so it didn’t scrap the floor. It was almost there when Jongseob moved to the front to give it one last strong push, not noticing that your hand was still between the desk and the wall.

You felt an awfully intense pain coming from one of your fingers, which caused a yelp to slip from your lips. You didn’t even look at your hand, you just hugged it to your chest and fell to your knees without even noticing it. You had to close your eyes because the room was starting to spin around you. “Oh my God, are you okay?”, you felt Jongseob kneeling down beside you. You could feel his distress without even seeing his face.

You took a deep breath as you opened your eyes to take a look at your hand. One of your nails was broken in half way below the tip of your finger, but one of the edges was still attached to the remaining acrylic material. The sensitive flesh below the nail was now fully exposed, making you see stars and, to add insult to injury, it was starting to bleed like crazy.

You couldn’t bring yourself to answer the question, but you didn’t need to — Jongseob was already wrapping an arm securely around your waist to help you stand back up and lead you to the bathroom. Once you were there, he carefully grabbed your injured hand to take a closer look at it. “I’m so sorry. This is my fault”, he didn’t dare to look you in the eye. “Don’t say that, it was an accident”, you reassured him as you placed your other hand on top of his.

He didn’t say anything back, he just grabbed a soft tissue to wipe away some of the blood, paying attention to your face so he would know when to stop if it was hurting you in any way. “I think it would be better if you put a band-aid around the nail so it doesn’t move. I’ll go with you to the nail tech tomorrow”, he said as he carefully put the band-aid on your finger. Then, he grabbed both of your hands and finally met your eyes. “I still feel so guilty”. You smiled and wrapped your hands around his neck to bring him into a hug. “I told you it’s fine. These things happen so stop overthinking”, you felt his shoulders relax a bit. “But you’re the one paying for the fixing”, you joked, earning a laugh from your boyfriend.

[if-seal]

(Personality anon again, re asking this to remove the name of a game title I mentioned)

For the personality system in my IF, I was thinking have a lock in point for it for flavor text and I had an idea for the MC to be able to do something 'out of character' and have NPCs respond to it. This doesn't really seem to be a popular approach though (as in I rarely see this style used), I think because it gives players more control of their MCs? Since personality based flavor text might not be what a specific MC would do/think/say

This isn't really asking for advice, but I'd just like to know your thoughts on this and maybe any pros or cons for each style

Dear Personality System Designing Friend,

O, you do not need to worry about removing the name of a game - I originally specified that on my pinned post but have changed it just now to request that questioners do not mention games negatively. Your mention was not negative, but I confess I deleted the original message when clearing out the inbox a little while ago and do not now recall which title it was...

I am a sleepy seal today. Onwards!

It's useful to figure out how you'd like to measure your personality stats. You might have a spectrum, like "Rebellious/Obedient", "Hot-Headed/Cool-Headed", and so on. You might have numerical or descriptive scores in, for example, "Quiet", "Ruthless", "Bold", etc.

In short-form IF it can work to just pick one personality, for example choosing a single trait from a pool such as "Naive", "Sarcastic", "Impetuous", etc. I am not sure if that is the kind of thing you're envisioning when you say you're considering locking in the traits, or whether you're thinking of having several different traits that can be confirmed over the course of the game.

My advice for long-form IF is that it works better to have at least a few so that the MC's personality can be more detailed.

For instance, with multiple personality traits a player can play as someone who is high Ruthless, high Bold, and low Quiet (a loud, brash, ruthless person!) or low Ruthless, high Bold, and high Quiet (a soft-spoken, compassionate person who's keen to rush into action!), and many more combinations.

The same idea applies if you using personality spectrums. Having a few different traits means there is more room for an MC to express their personality in different ways, and for other characters to respond to it positively, negatively, with surprise, or any number of other ways. Just as with creating a single personality trait to choose from a pool, it also gives room for those moments where the MC is acting "out of character" or aligns with the expectations the player has set for their behaviour.

It is wise not to gate off options based on the personality the player has established - players like to have the choice to behave in ways that depart from how they have previously. It is also delightful when another character is shocked when a previously wallflower-ish MC suddenly shouts at someone in public, so I believe your thoughts about acting out of character are solid.

As for how traits get assigned, it's reasonable to have the player lock a trait early on with a choice such as:

I usually respond to public speaking with... -Delight [Set Outgoing to Very High] -Anticipation [Set Outgoing to High] -A shrug [Set Outgoing to Mid] -Nervousness [Set Outgoing to Low] -Horror [Set Outgoing to Very Low]

Equally, you could track how Outgoing the MC is being over time and write flavour text or NPC responses to reflect that. This can sometimes feel less clear/visible to the player, so there may be a point down the line in which a character says "but you're usually so shy" and the player goes "eh? But I've been outgoing the last few choices, why isn't the game responding to that?". That issue can be mitigated by tracking particularly important Outgoing moments and thorough playtesting (and if using ChoiceScript, RandomTesting to check the spread of stats that players will be regularly hitting).

Broadly, I feel the former can feel a little more game-y with more distance between the player and MC, where the latter may close that distance. But both can be handled in perfectly effective ways, and it's really up to what feels intuitive to you.

There is no point in getting tangled up in one personality system or another if you find it hard to envisage what the MC is actually doing and saying. The numbers and personality descriptors are the machines driving the story under the hood, but what's important is how those personality traits affect the MC, their journey, and how they interact with the world around them.

Best of luck with your writing!

[ssreeder]

yooooo. queer-ie: i love your work and would die for it (this is the queer part) and i just know there’s gotta be scenes that have been deleted. could you possibly tell us about some of those (this is the -ie part)? no pressure tho!! i’ll be hopelessly devoted to you either way.

eyyyyyy-o.

sorry Ive sat on this ask for a while but it tuurns I doooooo have like 4k of of outtakes from RIA & ITF lol.

so here are a few, i’m not sure if this is what you wanted from this ask lol im doing my best. (also none of these are edited or proof read and im sorry about mistakes and grammar and tense and all that other jaz because these were seriously like - ‘i don’t know if im going to trash this orrrrr…..’ then it never made it in & might not even be applicable to the current story.)

im such a good author I know so many details ummmm here is an insert from some point in RIA (I think this was going to be a POV from Hakoda and his men talking and I decided it was a waste of word count. sorry hakoda)

- - -

“I say we kill him.”

“Don’t you think that is a little… <i>extreme</i> Gilak?”

“Not as extreme as the <i>son</i> of the Fire Lord living and breathing in our camp!”

Hakoda felt the specific vein in his forehead thumping against his wrinkled skin that was trying its best to keep it contained. He could feel a headache coming forward the longer they discussed what to do about the situation that Sokka brought to his attention… and so far, they had not one tangible idea.

“Gilak, I have already told you, we can not kill him.”

“I know sir, your son is buddies with him, and we can’t upset Sokka.”

Hakoda shot the larger man a stern look, and he quickly retracted his words.

“I know why we can’t kill him. I just think it would be the simplest solution in this situation.”

Bato jumped to Hakoda’s defense, like he always did.

“This is not a simple situation, so it will not have a simple solution. I think we should speak to Morrak and see what he learned about the boy before we make any decisions. If we kill the Prince of the Fire Nation while he is severely injured and being non threatening we will look like the savages the rest of the world calls us. We have to handle this delicately, like Hakoda said, Sokka trusted us enough to tell us who he is when he could have easily lied. Which means we need to respect that trust and handle it delicately.”

Hakoda cleared his throat, earning the attention from both his men.

“So it is decided. I will talk to Morrak and once I get more information, I will meet back with you both and we can discuss our options at that point.”

“Yes sir.”

“Yes Chief.”

Hakoda was happy when they left his tent, freeing up the stifled air that seemed to stop moving the moment the conversation began. Hakoda felt an intense guilt building from betraying his son’s trust and sharing his friend's identity with the other men… Haoda knew it was the wisest decision for him to make as the Chief of the Southern Water Tribe, but it wasn’t helping him be the best dad to his son… Something he was still struggling with every passing moment.

Even now… Hakoda left his son alone in the healer’s tent with the boy he just recently discovered was the Prince of the Fire Nation… A boy bred into fire and violence. Sokka seemed to trust him, which gave Hakoda a tiny bit of hope that maybe there was something good in this boy… But that tiny feeling was smothered by the rest of the overwhelming amount of mistrust and worry he had when he looked at the golden eyed boy who glared at him from the moment he opened his eyes.

Hakoda rubbed his forehead, digging his thumb into his temple in an attempt to push back the stress vein. He needed to speak to Morrak, and after that… He would make a decision on what was the best next step he could make. He needed to protect his tribe and his son, that was his main concern right now… and right now… Sokka was tied to this fire bender in a way that made Hakoda nervous.

Turning towards the entrance of his tent, Hakoda decided not to overthink this situation a minute longer and go find Morrak so they could talk…

Each time Hakoda thought about all the things he didn’t know, or wasn’t understanding, he felt the weight of his decision growing heavier and heavier. If Hakoda didn’t figure out what to do soon, he was going to be crushed and then Sokka would be on his own…

Hakoda couldn’t fail his son again, he had to make the right decision

- -

Ok so this one is right before Zuko gave himself up in RIA. I don’t remember how the final scene went down but we all know how it ended :) <3

Psst… Dad.”

Hakoda frowned in his sleep, caught in the middle of a dream and the reality that awaited him on the other side.

“Dad… Wake up.”

Hakoda opened his eyes and saw Sokka staring down at him.

“Son? What are you doing in my tent in the middle of the night? Are you ok?”

Hakoda sat up and rubbed his eyes, trying to see through the darkness he was startled when a tiny flame broke through the void and gave clarity to the room.

Zuko was standing behind Sokka who was kneeling next to Hakoda’s bed, and the Water Tribe man felt a mixture of conflicted feelings. He was instantly happy that Zuko had come back for Sokka, but the dred that followed swallowed any joy he had…. Zuko couldn’t be here. If Quon found him… They would all be in trouble.

“I’m fine… Zuko came back. He… We… Ummm… We are leaving.”

Hakoda thought he would be devastated the day his son told him he was leaving again, so sure that his world would bottom out and Hakoda would feel like he was falling into despair. But when he looked at Sokka, and he thought back to the talk they had about his feelings for the fire bender, Hakoda knew that there was nothing he could say to change his son’s decision.

Just like Hakoda had allowed Katara to leave, he had to do the same with Sokka. His children didn’t belong to him anymore, they were grown and they were bonded to people who they were loyal to… And Hakoda was proud of them. It was a monumental thing to find someone you loved, and staying loyal to them was what kept that relationship strong…. Even if Hakoda didn’t love the idea of Sokka choosing a fire bending boy, he wouldn’t stop him from being loyal to his love.

“I understand, son. Allow me to put on my pants and I will help you two escape.”

Zuko spoke up, “I don’t think that will be necessary. The uhh… The helping us… Not the uhh… The pants.”

Hakoda smirked and Sokka smacked his own forehead. No wonder the boy refrained from using words.

“I would like to make sure you two make it out ok. Is that a problem?”

Zuko seemed to dislike the idea, but Sokka gave him a pleading look that had a splash of assertiveness, which seemed to be their typical dynamic. Now that Hakoda was aware of the romantic nature between the boys it was easier to disfer their interactions.

Hakoda slipped on his pants and slid on his boots, making sure he secured his hunting knife inside. He couldn’t grab any other weapons just in case they were caught, Hakoda couldn’t risk looking like he was prepared for a fight. If they were caught, they would need to make sure that whatever words made up their excuse were good enough to fool whoever found them.

As long as it wasn’t Quon, they might have a chance

- -

RIP Shen, I never realized how fucking funny you and Zuko were until you died. I think this was when they were all sharing intel idk… but Zukos an asshole and I love it. (he and Sokka were sooooo hostile during the SWT arc)

“Nothing… Just…. Fucking drop it. How about Zuko and I switch seats and I will come over and help you with the Fire Nation cruiser information. Bato and Zuko can, I don’t know… Play their tile game or whatever.”

“Fine with me. I fucking love games.” Zuko mumbled as he stood up.

Shen watched with wide eyes, not saying a word, and Hakoda could honestly say he had no words to add to the tension either.

“Good!” Sokka stood up as well and made sure to bump his friend’s shoulder as they switched seats. The fire bender glanced back and Hakoda wondered if he was going to shove Sokka in the back but he didn’t reciprocate the hostile gesture and instead he flopped down next to Bato and crossed his arms with his brow narrowed deep into the center of his face.

Shen leaned back when Sokka came to sit down next to him, and Sokka glanced over at him and scoffed.

“Don’t be dramatic. Let’s just get this thing fucking over with so we can be done here.”

“Whatever you say.” Shen replied as Sokka aggressively organized the parchment and prepared to draw out Shen’s cruiser.

Hakoda watched as Sokka’s anger melted when Shen began to explain what it was like being a soldier stationed on Fire Nation cruiser. He told them about -

TA DAAAAAA idk if this is what you wanted…. but here it is. I don’t have anything from the first book, and only a bit from ITF but I do have more RIA. I rambled a lot in the second book ha but yeah idk what else to say! Thanks for the ask.

I can't remember. Etho: (laughs) Uhh. The -- Cleo: Genuinely can't remember. I know it's you and Bdubs. And...Tango? Tango. Tango. Etho: (loudly) Why -- Why is Tango the third wheel? Why -- why isn't Bdubs the third wheel? Cleo: Because it's you and Bdubs. I'm sorry. I understand how that relationship goes. Etho: (dissatisfied) Hmm.

(Random) Portal Ford: The fate of the multiverse is at stake Stanley, if my Stanley fell in I wouldn’t be able to risk it (LIAR THIS MAN IS AN ABSOLUTE LIAR)

Martian Stan: Okay but if you’re not trying to get back home, wise guy then what are you doing?

Portal Ford: Preparing to kill this universe’s greatest threat… Bill

Martian Stan: …Who?

Portal Ford: Have…you not met Bill? As far as the variants I’ve seen he usually resides in the Nightmare Realm.

Martian Stan: Was he that weird huge head guy? That guy was kinda freaky, he was all like “ Get in my mouth”

Portal Ford: No, No, Bill’s a triangle! A yellow one, and the last of his kind.

Martian Stan: Triangle..? OH wait! That’s the guy I accidentally killed. Apparently being ammo is not as fun as you would think. Also I can remember that eye goop smelling and making me sticky for days!

Portal Ford: YOU. WHAT?!??

still absolutely obsessed with this btw. Ford dedicated his whole life to destroying that piece of shit triangle, a literal GOD, and when he gets there the guy has been taken out Wicked-Witch-of-the-West Style. Ford would be in this situation of course, the Witch of the North, if the Witch of the North absolutely lost her shit when she learned that Dorothy killed her and probably wandered Stan’s campsite for who knows how long simply contemplating her life.

i like to think that after the reveal portalFord stuck around for a bit(to see if Bill comes back & for stan. not that he’ll say that last bit) and both Stan and Ford would have to reckon with his existence. this version of his brother has spent the last 30 years all alone, and the quiet resentment is clear even though he tries to hide it. this version of himself, Ford can’t help but think over the radio, is just. terrifying. in every way

i also like to think that portal Ford gets to go home days, weeks after that, the way tine tends to work for them in the NR. portal Ford can’t help save stan (he wishes oh he WISHES he could) but he helps where he can. and he leaves, goes home, and Ford and Stan are just kind of shell shocked after all is said and done. and so is Portal Ford. it’s kind of a transformative experience for everyone involved.

except Polly.

Polly is having the time of her life like always. Polly is glad her little Godkiller made a friend, he was seeming rather lonely, and she IS proud of her Godkiller for Killing God(Bill is stil there ofc, throwing a tantrum over mullets), this schmuck can’t kill him

Dude I LOVE, with my whole HEART and SOUL, how you draw. If you don’t mind a request I would love to see your take on either Rainbow Factory Wally or EnA Wally! I honestly think either (or both!) would look wonderful in your style!

Both seems pretty good--

I am dying to discuss saxloch, please don’t judge if you feel these questions are too basic!

What do you think about Saxon’s sexuality?

what do you think about Saxon’s feelings towards Lochlan? Was he ever ( sexually) attracted?

What is your prediction about post canon - best case/ worst case scenario?

Okay I do not think these are basic questions especially for these insanely repressed boys haha I think there is so much to say here!

1. Ok so I really believe that Saxon has a textbook repressed sexuality. I don't think the fact that Saxon has loads of hookups and sex under his belt with women means that he isn't one of the MOST repressed and unsatisfied characters in the history of characters lol. Saxon is at his core deeply afraid of intimacy and fulfillment because I think somewhere inside of himself he KNOWS that true sexual gratification isn't something he will ever grant himself bc it doesn't look like the traditional "hookup with beautiful women until you find The One and marry her and have 2.5 kids and a picket fence." So he is stuck in limbo where he's having tons of meaningless, tasteless sex and feeling absolutely nothing about it! He dehumanizes the women he fucks because he can't stand the idea that he could ever trust anyone enough to be vulnerable with them, he HAS to remain in the position of power and control. He's a terrible misogynist, of course, but there's also this deep seated fear that someone might dig too deep inside of him and find out what he really is (completely empty? A sexual deviant? a repressed brother fucker? sorry lol)

2. This brings me to your next question, what are Saxon's feelings about Lochlan? Well it's Saxon Ratliff so they are COMPLICATED lol. We see time and time again that what Saxon really loves about Lochlan is that he allows Sax to kind of create him in his own image. What I mean is, Saxon wants to see Lochy's dedication to him in almost everything he does. He's desperate for Lochlan to attend Duke (like he did), work for their dad (like he does), and stay in North Carolina (like him). He wants Lochy to consume all the same things as him. His protein shakes, his diets, the same nameless faceless women he hooks up with, hell he even wants them to consume the same porn (which makes me feel insane). Saxon loves this idea of seeing Lochlan as an extension of himself in so many ways. I swear sometimes Saxon and Lochlan even subtly mirror each other's facial expressions and body language. Buuuut I think the thing that really really makes Saxon go crazy isn't their similarities, it's all the little ways that Lochlan shines through. His tenderness, the open fondness his Lochy wears so plainly on his face (an expression Saxon almost never allows himself to show outright), his goofy magic tricks, his sweet desperation for approval from the people he loves. Saxon loves that Lochlan, the one he can't perfectly mold into the shape of himself. But he's also terrified of Lochlan paving his own way, becoming his own person, leaving him. So Saxon squeezes him harder and harder and pulls him closer and closer and prays they keep the same shape. Whew. It's crazy in here guys, tune in

3. Post canon my beloved! So what ARE the best and worst case scenarios? Honestly I truly think Lochlan is going to be insanely withdrawn after everything - his near death experience, his hookup with Sax, his family's legal and financial devastation. I don't think he's going to bounce right back from that even in the best possible situation. Buuuut I do NOT think even Lochlan's most intense feelings will compare to what happens to Sax post canon. Saxon now has to cope with being out of a job, losing the respect of his community, losing his own respect for his father, instantly becoming the Man of the Family since even in the best case scenario Tim is going to prison for a while, aaaand the fact that he came in his brother's fist and made out with him. I think there are a couple outcomes here for Sax. He either locks the fuck in, shuts off his own emotions, finds another job in finance, steps up to the plate for his mom and little siblings, and basically grinds it out to be strong for them. I think this is a real possibility. Saxon is a piece of shit in a lot of ways but I DO think he deeply cares for his family. In a lot of ways Saxon does treat Lochlan like a son already - influences him, guides him, teaches him how to be a real man. and tere's a chance he leans into this dynamic even harder with him once Tim is away.

BUT there is also a darker outcome for Sax. He might finally explode. He might finally run. He might finally break away from Lochlan. I think regardless, Saxon is going to be completely disgusted with himself. Idk whether he believes what happened between him and Lochlan was his fault or Lochy's, but considering the fact that he's the oldest sibling and Lochlan was newly 18, I think he blames himself. He should have been there for Lochy. He should have implemented boundaries and limits and said NO, just like he used to have to do when Lochy was begging him to steal him extra candy as a kid. I think this makes Saxon kind of afraid of himself, question the things he's truly capable of. Is he a monster? Is he a predator? Did he ruin Lochy? There's this delicious tension because I truly think he sees himself as Lochlan's keeper and what do you do when you desecrate the boy you're supposed to be guiding through life? So there is a timeline where Saxon entirely pulls away from Lochlan for his own good, so he can never hurt him again. And then Saxon AND Lochlan will be left with brother shaped holes inside themselves and will probably end up doing some pretty deranged things to fill them. Ughjhh so many possibilities for these boys post canon!

Sorry this got so long anon I just love yapping about these boys!
