It’s always thinking about Nowhere Boys hours✨

I wrote a new Two Moons Rising fic!!

TW for possible ED triggers (insistence/refusal to eat)

Wrote this as comfort for my own ED. No one has EDs here, but you can see the influences.

You could always join the netball team. Maybe I’ll wait until they change the netball uniform to all black. With mandatory lip rings.

I'm not sure if I've posted this fic, but I just found it and I think it deserves to be shown.

Stoic, sarcastic, perpetually annoyed Ellen misses them. Dearly. Don't ask her, she won't admit to it. Despite her denial, her life has been void since their departure. Bremin holds too many overwhelming memories and she wasn't enough to keep the boys tied to the place. She guesses she was only really a part of their group out of necessity, at most.

Jake was the first to go. A backpack on his back. A world trip, he had said. It had been supposed to be a gap year, but he had met someone. He stopped answering the others' texts about two months after arriving in Ireland. Soon, their only source of news from him was Mr. Bates. Painful as it was, Ellen thinks it is better than nothing. She wishes Jake would just send her the pictures of his new baby, instead of her having to look at them on her boss's phone. She dreams of another world. One where the baby would call her Aunty Ellen and she would pretend to detest it. It certainly exists, somewhere. For the first year, she is almost tempted to search for it.

At the realization that Jake wasn't coming back, Sam also went away. He got an art scholarship in the United States. Felix, Ellen and Andy had taken him to the airport. They had all cried. There was no doubt in Ellen's mind that Sam had loved them, but he is also an airhead by nature. The boy has the object permanence of a golden retriever, and with his ADHD and her unwillingness to reach out first, she knows he has already forgotten about her. These days, Ellen mostly watches his skating videos on YouTube while she eats breakfast in the morning. He has only become more skilled. He also has a beard now, and raises money for charity from the ad revenue of his videos. Sam had been one of the people who made her feel seen, especially after he had returned from the other reality. Watching him through a screen is worse than watching him pass by in the hallways, back when he wouldn't spare her a glance. He is smiling, but Ellen doesn't feel anything, and it feels the same as rewatching something for the nostalgia, only to find it lacking in quality. She misses making him laugh the most.

Andy went next. Off to college, somewhere in Sidney. They have lost each other's phone numbers, but he still occasionally sends postcards to her parents' home. He camps a lot in his free time and is writing his thesis on interdimensional wormholes. Only Andy could pull off such a thing in an academic context. Ellen has yet to send him a letter telling him her new address. It would be caring too much... Which she does. Andy doesn't have to know that, though. For now, she will keep picking up the post cards from her parents' house. There is an upside to remaining in Bremin, after all.

Felix was the last to leave. He stuck around with her as long as he could. They actually both went to Bremin community college for a few months, until Felix dropped out. For the first year he was away, for a better job that could support him and his part-time music career, they would video call routinely. He actually drove back to see her every weekend. He didn't miss one. Until he did. He missed one, and then two, and then Ellen was informed his work schedule didn't really align with such a routine anymore. But they could still video call, and he could drive to Bremin every once in a while, and she could come visit him, too! He would even pay for her transportation! Ellen could see him gripping onto their friendship for dear life. But it was just the two of them left, and although they had been fine with that reality once upon a time, after experiencing loving and losing the others, it felt terribly empty. She just had to let him go. She did it via phone call, because that was the only kind of contact they had in months. It was a barely successful attempt at closure, the night before her first day of teaching at Bremin High. Through sobs and snot and running black eyeliner, she told him maybe they should just each live their lives. Felix's voice broke in a way she hadn't heard since Oscar's accident, and he told her she would always be one of the best friends he'd ever had. Ellen hung up so she could weep freely.

And now there's a boy in her class that is staging a play about them, and he's gotten it so fantastically wrong. She just has to watch. But something happens before he can present his play. Something strange and familiar, although completely new. Ellen doesn't know what happened to these kids, but she believes the parts they want to reveal wholeheartedly. She knows better than to doubt these kinds of things.

Ellen helps them. She has to. She would help them to control their powers if they asked, and tell them whatever they'd like. Their elemental magic that is so reminiscent of her most beloved memories, and yet so different. She thinks the way Heath handles fire is similar to how Sam handled air, but with the same lack of control as Jake. Nico has so much of Andy in her, paired with Felix's wit and Jake's stubbornness. Jesse is Sam's dramatics to the bone. Luke has Andy's pungent awkwardness, along with his smarts.

It's embarrassing to be stuck in high school, but it's hard to avoid when you work there. Throughout those hellish years, Ellen had soothed herself with the thought that the jocks and popular kids would peak at high school and then become has beens, forever stuck in those years. And where is she now? Every time she looks at the new elementals, all she can see is a patchwork of her own elemental boys, and she misses them. She misses her family dearly.

y’know what? andy/sam is an underrated ship

like shy (ish) nerd + friendly ball of sunshine, it would be cute

Homosexual moment

underrated ship💔

This goes here in honour of Jake Riles's mom. She really said "if I'm gonna be a single mom, I'm gonna do it right" and started collecting dolphin statues

Its weird for me to think that dolphins existed at the same time as queens and knights and shit like that. I feel like dolphins were invented in the 80s by crystal shops to sell porcelain statues to divorced women

so there were a few people who disappeared in bremin before the original bremin four disappeared (one of them being alice) and then right after they reappear after being missing for two weeks, alice ALSO reappears after being missing for ten years. andy then goes missing AGAIN for like a week or two (i can’t remember how long hgdfghj) and then when he finally reappears for good, alice AND phoebe go missing for a year. and then, a few years later, five other kids from bremin also go missing and (presumably) never reappear, and not only that, but the student teacher they got close with over a couple years was also close friends with the original bremin four, and not only THAT, but the principal who was obsessed with them extremely close to their disappearance is both the step dad of one of the orignal bremin four and was ALSO the teacher overseeing them on the excursion when they went missing. and like. one of the five kids who went missing for good produced a musical about the bremin four and was clearly more interested in them than average. before the five kids went missing the school found a secret underground room in the woodwork block that had books belonging to one of the original bremin four. all i’m saying is that with all this weirdness and the connections between them bremin would 100% show up on an episode of buzzfeed unsolved

has this been done yet

I’m dead over that one time Nicco was like “I don’t need a boy to protect me” and Heath goes “Then you can protect me”

Iconic

Felix Ferne is obviously a trans guy because his name is Felix Ferne, which is inhumanely appropriate for a fire elemental and everyone one else in the show has normal names.

I bet he's so annoyed at the fact none of the others picked up or commented on it. Seriously? Not even Andy!

Ok so why aren't we talking about that time in nowhere boys season 1 episode 4. At the end of the episode when Jake and Andy are setting up beds and Sam is just standing at the door and it looks like he's just watching Felix? Cause that was pretty gay of him

Nowhere boys season 3? Fucking iconic. Professor Ellen? Outstanding. Nico? Gorgeous. Jesse? Killing it. Luke? Fucking adorable. Heath? Beautiful. I love nine (9) adorable supernatural Aussies.

Hey, let’s sort the new team! It has been done with the previous boys by @anisha-d03​ (here is the post: http://anisha-d03.tumblr.com/post/145879434465/took-ages-to-make-but-worth-it-nowhere-boys) I’m pretty sure Nicco and Jesse go to Griffindor (Wiki: Gryffindor values bravery, daring, nerve, and chivalry).

Heath is very likely to be a Slytherin (Wiki: Slytherin house values ambition, cunning and resourcefulness). Luke gave me most trouble, I’m still not sure about him. Chose Ravenclaw because Pottermore says Ravenclaw people are the most individual.

Ben is CERTAINLY a Ravenclaw. Quoting Pottermore, “Without wishing to boast, this is the house where the cleverest witches and wizards live”. And also Wiki, “Ravenclaws are so competitive when it comes to academic success that they are known to back stab each other, and likely other students, in order to get top marks“.

I know, Ben’s reputation is somewhat that of a Hufflepuff but let’s remember that Hufflepuff values hard work, dedication, patience, loyalty, and fair play. Not all of which can be applied to Ben.))

If you have something to add/correct, feel free to reply.:) Since my blog is new and Tumblr doesn’t show my posts in the feed yet, I’ll just tag some people who might be interested, hope it’s alright. @asecondservingofsurpriserice​ @water-fire-earth-and-air​ @pokernightatthepvssytorium​ @kolmikealson​ @empty-world​ @aruellelite​ @jtb1963​ @yuk0chu @shorties-unite @charlieandmatteusz @psmith73 @keoghkinks @jake-riles

Yes, so far Ellen and Bates are in it, and I get the feeling that other characters are likely to make an appearance.

Please watch it, it’s really good! The new characters may not be the same but they are great themselves and new and interesting. At least watch the first couple of episodes before dismissing it entirely…

Why do we never talk about that one time when Sam found out everyone has an element and he’s bummed out that they’re not special and Jake goes “you’ll always be special to me”? Cause that’s very worth talking about.
