Karolina and Tegan birthday fanfic! 👓👠

I wrote a (short?) fanfic for Karolina's and Tegan's birthdayyy 🎉🎉 Last time Scholar was a she so I decided that in this one Scholar will be a he again 👍 Hopefully my writing is getting less cringe 😂 but as you'll see for yourselves I'm still really bad, especially the narration, sometimes I'm like "Wait, what am I supposed to describe here to move on to the next scene?" So most of it is really basic 😅 On a lighter note though, I know that many sweet elite players come from lots of different countries and most times their first language isn't English (*cough*like me*cough*) so at least it'll be easy to read for everyone? (Yes, I'm totally trying to make myself feel better for my lack of vocabulary 😔)

Anyways!!! Have a good read! God I hope I'm getting better...

--------------------------------------

"Karolina used to play Maryo Kart!?"

Tegan flinched due to Scholar's sudden outburst and almost dropped the controller out of his hands.

"W-Well... yeah. We were pretty close in elementary school and we used to share the same interests. Not when it came to everything but we usually agreed about a lot of things."

Tyler cackled from the bunk bed upon hearing this. Looks like he was still browsing through a shit-ton of pictures of chairs on Moogle. Apparently, he wanted to draw a chair for his next art piece.

"Just imagining Karolina even playing an app game gives me the same feeling as watching one of John Mulaney's skits: it's hilarious."

Scholar couldn't help but imagine Karolina playing Candy Rush or Flappy duck and it was in fact rather funny. Seeing Karolina frustrated because of a game would be like seeing Tadashi sleeping, which means it was impossible. Those two really need more rest and a bit of down time...

"So Tyler, you found any chairs that give you a spark of inspiration?"

Scholar decided to change the subject, after all Karolina didn't want anything to do with Tegan even though it was... well... their birthday. Scholar doesn't even have siblings let alone a twin so he had no idea how Tegan must be feeling right now. But from an outsider's perspective, Scholar thought that it was kind of sad and a waste that they didn't at least celebrate their birthday together. Tegan said that he didn't want anything too extravagant though. Thus, the 3 of them had gathered in their room to spend some time together, Ellie was also supposed to come but she said that she had "things to do" and that she'd drop by later.

"Nah man. MIKEA is really running out of ideas. I could come up with sicker designs in the blink of an eye. Actually, in a way this encourages me even more to draw a chair. I'll create the best chair this world has ever seen Scholar. Just. You. Wait."

While Tyler was hyping himself up over chairs Tegan had a really stern look on his face. Maybe it was because he was focused on the game but Scholar felt like there was something more to it. Perhaps they should've invited more people? In truth, the only real guest here was Scholar. This was TnT's room after all... Why is Ellie taking so long?

"...Tegan? Maybe you'd like me to go call Axel and Raquel over? Maybe even Alistair and Claire?"

Tegan who was frowning for a while now finally let his eyebrows relax.

"No uh... Sorry if I looked angry or something but um. I was just thinking about something."

When he said that, Tyler immediately let go of his phone and dropped down on the floor, then he sat next to Tegan.

"When you tell us that you're thinking about something, it means that you want to talk to us about it, right?"

Tegan continued to smash the buttons of the controller without even giving Tyler a side-glance.

"Not necessarily."

Somehow, Tegan was acting a bit cold but not in his usual "I'm sleep deprived" way. Tyler gave Scholar a pleading look. Probably meaning that Tegan needed another little push to tell them what was going through his mind. Of course, Scholar couldn't ignore that.

"Aww, come on man! If it was because you were spacing out like usual you would've just said "it's nothing" butcha didn't! You know you can tell us everything right? We won't snitch."

Tyler followed.

"Exactly! We'll never break the bro code of honor. Spill the tea! Or water! Or whatever drink it is!"

Tegan gave them a big sigh before leaving the game on pause and putting the controller down. Tyler and Scholar looked at eachother dumbfounded. When Tegan puts the controller down it means that shit is about to get real... or he's so tired that he'll short-circuit in a span of 10 seconds.

"Well, it's about Karol. Kinda. I guess."

Scholar and Tyler scooched over even closer to be sure to miss none of it. Talking about Karolina wasn't a taboo topic or anything, on the contrary, it was quite frequent and Tegan was totally fine with his friends taking jabs at her as long as it wasn't mean-spirited. But what was rare though, was for Tegan to bring her up out of nowhere.

"It's... how to say this. You know how when it's Christmas and you become super nostalgic about the smallest things? Or when Viewtube recommends you a short clip from a show you used to watch years ago and you decide to marathon it just for the heck of it? Well, for me that "nostalgic" time is our birthday. When I remember how we used to be so close and hang out together all the time I get kinda uh. I don't know. Regretful? Like, maybe if I didn't end up being a loser who spends all of his time playing games and doing dumb stuff Karol might still tolerate me. Or uh. If I dressed up a little nicer or took better care of myself maybe she'd at least want to stand next to me in public? Now, unless absolutely necessary, she doesn't even want to be associated with me. Like, she's ashamed of me or she doesn't want the other students to think that we're related or something. I don't know. Maybe I'm making it sound worse than it actually is but that's how I feel."

Woah. Okay. To be honest, Tyler and Scholar had already thought that something along those lines might be the reason for Tegan's grumpy mood today. That was a feeling he probably carried with him subconsciously everyday, just maybe to a smaller extent since he drowns himself in video games and doritos. But whenever their birthday comes around, all of it resurfaces. He already told them in the past that when Karolina started taking modeling gigs they started slowly growing apart. Tegan had said it so nonchalantly, like it wasn't a big deal and it was natural to "grow apart" but clearly, he wasn't happy about it.

Tegan was hanging his head low, as for Tyler and Scholar, they lay their heads down on Tegan's shoulders. Tyler ran his fingers through Tegan's hair to confort him.

"You're not a loser in any way Tegan. Karolina is the one missing out on you, she shouldn't set standards on you in the first place. So what? Just because you don't wear Bucci, Bupreme or Bouis Buitton it means that she has the right to act like this? You're my best bro and I know that my best friend is the coolest dude in the world. I mean, who can drink 3 monster drinks at the same time through 2 straws amirite?"

"Hm. Actually... You're not wrong."

Wait, 3 monster drinks at the same time with 2 straws? What?? Scholar's eyes widened.

"Uhhh. What the hell do you guys do when I'm not around? And may I remind you that Tegan is also my best friend!"

Tyler let out a laugh through his nose.

"Oh please, you may have barely enough points to unlock his tragic backstory but I'm still the OG. I'm ahead of you by at least a hundred points. Also, I wouldn't exactly call you a friend but rather-"

Tegan swiftly elbowed Tyler in the stomach.

"Ssshhh! Dude!"

"Ouch! Come on man... you know that Scholar is a bit dense sometimes, you gotta at least let me spell it out for him."

This was about to become a fight between the two of them, with Tegan trying to shut Tyler up and Tyler desperately trying to tell Scholar something. However, someone knocked on the door. That's weird, usually Ellie just barges in without even asking if she can. She just says "It's Ellie!" and comes in like this is her room as much as it is Tegan's and Tyler's. Their small fight stopped and Tegan got up to open the door... to be welcomed with cheers and confetti flying in the air. "WOOOOOOO!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY NERD!!!" Ellie had brought the whole gang: Alistair, Axel, Claire, Raquel and even Tadashi. The only ones who weren't there were Karolina and Neha but in a way, it was kind of to be expected. They were maybe celebrating Karolina's birthday in her room with some of their friends from the fashion department? In any case, everyone was thrilled for Tegan. They congratulated him and gave him some gifts even if they were a little bit less personal than anticipated. It was apparent that some of those were chosen in a rush. If Scholar had to guess, since Tegan is so secretive and discreet about everything, he probably didn't tell anyone about his birthday and Ellie had to go around fetching everyone and bringing them together. That's why some of the gifts exuded that "Oh shit! It's Tegan's birthday today!!!" aura. Especially Tadashi's gift.

"This is kopi luwak. Those coffee beans are extracted from the asian palm civet's excrements. I know that you're more into energy drinks but I thought that you might want to try something different. I know it sounds disgusting but the taste is actually not bad and it'll definitely wake you up, everytime you remember that you're drinking coffee that came out of an animal's digestive system it gives you an extra dose of adrenaline. No matter how many times I drink it, this coffee always makes me feel like I'm a little bit in danger and it wakes me up immediately."

Tegan looked really curious about it but at the same time uneasy at the thought of having to drink coffee made of beans that came out of an animal's asshole.

"Woah... thanks... Tadashi."

"You're welcome."

So that's how Tadashi stays awake, huh? He makes himself fear for his life by drinking weird coffee. Scholar had already heard of it, there's even some kinds that are made from elephant poop and civet cat poop. However, Axel was the first and only one to call Tadashi out.

"What the fuck man? It's his birthday and you gifted him fricking coffee beans that come from a raccoon's butthole? Well, I guess the nickname Tadashit fits you perfectly since you literally drink shit."

Tadashi rolled his eyes so far back that his pupils might've gone in his skull if he wasn't human.

"Like I said, it comes from the asian palm civet. Not a raccoon. Also, do not call me that."

Axel and Tadashi kept on bickering for a while before Claire brought the cake.

"Ta-dah! Sorry if it's not good enough but there weren't any backeries out there willing to make a birthday cake on such a short notice. I had to bake it myself with Alistair's help. We hope you like it!"

The cake gave off a really homey feeling. Scholar was reminded from back home when all of his birthday cakes looked really similar to this one. The icing was really amateurish looking but really really cute. Alistair switched the lights off and Tegan took a moment to think about his wish. The room went silent in front of his stern expression, seems like whatever his wish was, it must be pretty important. When he blew the candles everyone cheered but no one asked him what he wished for. Maybe no one felt the need to since it is said that if you say your wish out loud it won't come true.

Before Raquel could cut the cake Alistair took his phone out. "Wait! Wait a sec, let's take pictures with the cake first! I'm the one who drew the Zbox and the Playmotion logo..."

Raquel put the knife down while laughing. "Oohhh. So I bet that's the real reason why you don't want me to cut it yet?"

They all took lots of ridiculous pictures with the cake. It was a pretty big one so Raquel cut it into 10 slices. After a bit of a ruckus, things finally started calming down. The 9 of them sat down in a circle and talked about random subjects: the teachers, the homework, sleep paralysis, the new Store Wars movie, the conscious and unconscious mind in cognitive psychology...

The time was passing by and everyone was having fun no matter how weird the conversation was getting until Raquel reminded everyone of the last slice of cake.

"If no one's gonna eat it, I'll eat it."

The only one who was against it was Tyler who also wanted the last slice. They decided to choose the winner through rock paper scissors. A 3 round match. But just as it was about to start, someone knocked on the door again. Did the noise annoy the neighbours? It was getting pretty late after all.

Scholar got up to open the door only to find... Karolina followed by Neha!

"Happy b- oh. It's you."

Karolina was holding a small package and as for Neha, she didn't even bother to wrap up her gift. It was a fancy hoodie with a sort of skull on its back. Tegan almost flew towards the door.

"Karol! You came... and Neha, is that Sombra merch?"

Neha smiled warmly, seeing that he noticed right away.

"Yes. I mean, kind of. It's that character from Underwatch, right? I don't know if it's your favorite but one time I remember you saying that "she was fun to play". So I made you this. The quality isn't really that good though, sorry. Unfortunately, I didn't have enough time to make it properly. Anyway, I'm rambling. Happy birthday Tegan."

Tegan immediately put the purple hoodie on in excitement.

"Looks sick. Thank you Neha. You really nailed the logo."

Karolina also thought that it looked "sick" but not in a good way. She was clearly not getting why wearing that sort of thing would make someone happy. Since it was made by Neha, of course it was really well done but why does he prefer wearing video game merch rather than high quality clothing? She was almost regretting coming here. Tyler laughed at the sight of Karolina trying really hard not to roll her eyes, it looked like her pupils were trembling. Kinda terrifying honestly.

"I would've thought that you like soldier 76 or Tracer better since... they're about as straight as you are. But besides that, it looks dope Neha! Would you make one of my paintings into a T-shirt one day? Like, you know, my birthday? August 21st? Pretty pleaaase!"

It wasn't long until everyone started requesting clothes from Neha for their birthdays. Of course, she shut them all down while Karolina still stood there with what looked like a gift.

"Ugh. I see that you invited a lot... of people."

Her cold gaze was on Axel and Alistair specifically, since she did not like those two. As for Tegan, he was silently waiting for his gift. Judging by his face, it had been a while since Karolina had showed up to one of their birthdays, not to mention that she brought a gift too.

"Anyway... here. I'm sure you don't play those kinds of games anymore but uh... Well, in any case you better not laugh at my gift. Or else."

Tegan carefully unwrapped the gift. It was the new Maryo Kart! Everyone was baffled. Karolina actually gifted Tegan a video game? What's next? Is she going to play it too on top of gifting it? Tegan thanked her happily and reached for something behind the TV. It was Karolina's gift. Her eyes scanned the shape of the wrapping trying to guess what it was. Though she didn't lose any more time trying to figure out what it was and opened it. It was a Bouis Buitton bag. Karolina smiled.

"Basic choice but not bad. Thanks."

Seeing that Neha had already sat down, Karolina did the same. Of course, to Raquel's regret, they ended up splitting the last slice of cake, Karolina said that she didn't mind since she couldn't afford to eat food with too much calories. Especially not pastries but she let this one slide. As for Tegan, he immediately switched the game on. Of course. But then, he offered the second controller to Karolina. Everyone looked at him like he was batshit crazy. Miraculously though, Karolina sighed and took the controller.

"...Fine. But I don't remember the controls anymore."

That was a fricking lie. Karolina was killing it?? At Maryo Kart?? Raquel was going crazy. Well, everyone actually. But especially Raquel.

"What the hell?! So you steal the last slice of cake and now you're whooping Tegan's ass in a video game? I didn't even think you knew how to hold the controller correctly..."

Karolina clicked her tongue at that remark, looking unimpressed. Though clearly, she was a bit embarrassed about playing against her brother in front of 9 other people who had no idea that she was even capable of touching a controller without throwing up. But during that time, Tegan was grinning like a kid. It was like going back in time for him. He was thrilled. How many years has it been since the last time they played together like this?

"Believe it or not, but Karolina was actually the one to always kick my ass in video games. She was too strong. Thankfully, she's a bit rusty now."

Karolina elbowed his arm violently but Tegan didn't budge. It was like he was used to it, maybe Karolina always tried to distract him from the game by pushing him when they were little?

"Oh shut up. It's the game's fault. Why the heck did they add that much useless features? Also, the maps are way worse than the old Maryo Kart games. Those ones are a jumbled mess, doesn't make any goddamn sense with those twists and turns."

Karolina frighteningly sounded like a retrogaming nerd. Could it be that Tegan's love for video games came from...? Nah, no way. She's just salty that Tegan is catching up in wins. They're tied now.

"Okay! What about this: The one who wins the next round gets a kiss on the cheek from Scholar!" Ellie proclaimed in a loud voice.

"Wait! Why me??"

Scholar honestly doubted that Karolina would like that, Tegan? Maybe. But not Karolina. Surprisingly enough she didn't react but that lack of reaction probably hid something. Usually she would complain and quit but she's not the type to lose on purpose after getting this far. Tegan looked fired up too. Looking back on it, earlier Tyler was trying really hard to say something. Could it be that both Tegan and Karolina like Scholar? Well... that would be extremely awkward and unlikely.

In any case, it looks like Tegan has a head start.

"What's wrong Karol? Have you really forgotten the controls?"

"Say that again and I might murder you."

This is the most intense party of Maryo Kart anyone had ever seen. Isn't there an e-sport for it? Maybe the Novak(ova) siblings should sign up...

In the end, Karolina managed to catch up somehow. Ellie took that host voice again.

"Alright ladies and gents! Looks like Karolina will be the one receiving the prize! But what an act of cruelty on the sister's part, wouldn't you say? Because she was heartless and unpleasant I declare that as compensation the viewers should also get a kiss!"

Everyone cheered for Scholar's kiss but funnily enough, Tegan looked super offended. He was about to throw a tantrum.

"Wait. So I'm the only one without a kiss?!? That is so unfair! It's my birthday... I should at least get a participation fee!"

Tyler patted him on the back.

"That's rough, buddy. But hey, at least your boyfriend didn't turn into the moon."

Tegan quickly elbowed Tyler in the stomach again.

"Dude! Scholar's not my... dammit, I told you to be quiet earlier."

"Ow! I didn't even say any name... You're the one digging your own grave man. Look, he's looking this way."

Seeing that Tegan looked absolutely heartbroken (and pissed), Scholar took Ellie's place as the announcer.

"Change of plans! Only the siblings get a kiss because it's their birthday. All the others won't get any because it would be extremely unfair."

That's when everyone started booing but Raquel seemed to have an idea. A stupid one. But still an idea.

"Uhhh, excuse me! Actually, I'm their sister. We're triplets, so I also get a kiss!"

Axel did the same.

"No, Raquel is lying sir! We're actually quadruplets so I get a kiss as well! The four of us look so similar, I have no idea how you missed that..."

This whole thing turned out to be ridiculous. Seems like Tegan and Karolina suddenly had 8 new siblings. But of course, only the 2 of them got the kiss. Everyone was satisfied with the birthday party despite all of the chaos.

-------------------------------------- Oooookay! That's it! Sorry the ending was so abrupt (as usual) but I never know how to end these... Thank you for reading though! And sorry if you cringed! But that's a risk I'm willing to take ✊😔

#sweet elite #se #main 10 #Tegan Novak #Karolina Novakova #fanfic #fanfiction #I loved the Bucci Bupreme and Bouis Buitton part 😂#the idea was actually from a video #he's a youtuber who makes animatics #I think his name is erold?

RWBY V8 Livethought Stream: Episode 1

And as I have done for the last couple of seasons, here is my live thoughts as I watch the episode. Spoilers below, of course, for RWBY Volume 8, Episode 1: Divide.

First shot we get is of Cinder cleaning a floor. Dammit, and I was hoping she was secretly a whore in Mistral. Ehh.

Convinent that the Grimm Whale has LANDING PADS on its side. Quite a few of them actually. Do Grimm launch from them like VTOL attack craft?

Neo and Cinder are flying a new as of yet un-named vehicle. Im going to call this one the Remora cause it kinda looks like one.

Im getting massive Leviathan vibes from this whale. Wont lie. Mixed with a bit of Hive influence from Destiny.

Neos look of confusion and fear is at the same time both amusing and adorable. Also, she has no shirt over her bellybutton, which I find slightly amusing.

Salems throne has some kind of link to somethign else in the Whale, there’s no other reason for it to have that glowing power bank on the back. Also it seems to be made of bone, as is most of the rest of the interior. So...presumably, Salem shaped this entire thing like a bonesinger.

Salem still got the titties out uniform AND I STILL HATE THAT HER VOICE IS JEN TAYLOR!

Salems got Grimm bone arm bracers. Interesting..

LAMP

Neo is literally saving this entire episode for me with her silent adorable sass.

And Tyrian with the ABSOLUTE FIRE. Also hey hes back, guess he got up here somehow.

Note on the throne Room; all the doors we see are connected to Salem’s throne via those glowing lines, which seem to curve and go elsewhere. I think this is the Whale’s nerve center. And it looks like its on the back if the huge bone in the reare near the teeth is its spine.

And Neos like “hey wait I didnt sign up for this”

Correction; its not a door, its a MOUTH. Wall mouth.

ANNNNDD new designs for everyone on the evil team. HAVEL BE BEAR BRO. TOTAL GAY ENERGY. It looks like he tore the sleeves of a nice dress shirt and just BELTED it in place. And Merc looks like a fucking GOPNICK, HA! What the fuck does he have hanging from his right leg though.

Yeah, knew it. She touches the throne and the whale responds. Its her command seat, literally.

And Salem putting that bitch IN HER PLACE. You do it queen.

And now to the bottom of the hole under Atlas. THIS. THIS IS WHAT I ALWAYS IMAGINED MANTLE TO LOOK LIKE. VINDIFUCINGCATION AFTER FUCKING 6 YEARS!

Old dudes and faunus. Interesting. OLD DUDE FAUNUS WITH LIKE GIANT FUCKING MOLE CLAWS, DAMN.

Fuckin scramble the moment RWBY shows up. Man that was fast, I was hoping Oscar would be lost for a bit longer.

I still cannot believe how THIN the wall defending Atlas is. ITS LIKE TWO FEET THICK AT THE MOST! A METAL BARRIER WITH CONCRETE SUPPORTS! WHAT THE FUCK ATLAS

And Mantle proper slowly decends into what I have always seen it as. Good.

And May takes out a drone with her weapon like a chad. Nice. I guess Atlas doesnt keep track of their drones...wouldnt shock me

Ahhh resistance headquarters inside an old bar. The Huntress’s moving personnel...nice.

Oscars like “no dont touch me” and then “oh wait, titties, oh yeah...” Poor confused farmboi

OH MY GOD. VODKA IS CANON IN RWBY! HOLY SHIT YES!

Huh. Who’s the eyepatch chick with the cute faunus on the wall there. Interesting.

May Marigold; no nonsense. Good

“Largets Grimm Horde ever seen”. Okay, sure. Doesnt seem that big to me honestly.

Interesting. Ammunition cases on Remnant are nearly identical to ours, down to the large rectangular lockingn flap on one end.

Hmm. Casualties, judging by the watch and dropped material. No surprise. The weak get eaten in this world.

Also hey, faunus Futaba

Oh wonderful, no free-launch for the stadium. BECAUSE WHY THE FUCK NOT RIGHT?

Also, Stilltskin on the wall there. Some kind of whiskey

Main Atlesian Military Compound. Prepping myself for a MASSIVE dissapointment...

“Operations room”. Well, I guess it fits, but I would ASSUME its more accurately called a command and control center, or possibly command information center, depending. We’ll see soon enough.

Salems out in open war? Good. Time to break out the fuckin heavies people.

NGL this whole scene feels really oddly hamfisted. Its...strange. Doesnt feel like its flowing naturally.

Noras got a point but like, bruh, its Remnant. No ones got fucking militiares. You sat on your fucking hands for 80 Y EARS AND THIS IS HOW IT SHAKES OUT FOR YOU

And there’s a difference between division emotionally and splitting up to handle two objectives. Ruby, please stop being a civilian for 20 seconds and THINK

Cute, Penny’s gone full maiden depressed. First thoughts; self sacrifice. Good idea. But make it more brutal, Penny. Make it a frontal assault that will make that bitch BEG for the end she cannot have. You have lasers, you have maiden powers, hit that whore with an alpha strike that will make Nicolas Kerensky wince!

Goooood. Pennys going for Atlas. CUT THEM TO RIBBONS POLENDIA!

Two teams, two days. Two seperate stories and things get messy.

IRONWOOD LITERALLY CALLS PENNY ON THE PHONE ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS.

Remnant is doomed. Lol, jumped a head a little bit buddy? Get out for a little bit mate. See some of the other kingdoms, check how they’re doing.

Atlas has defenses? Sure they do. Something tells me we’re not seeing that...

And guilttrip. Wooooooo not impressed.

Awww Marrow sadboi.

Actually the aces all look sand OH BECAUSE ITS CLOVER. WHY IS HE THERE? ARE THEY-OH DONT YOU FUCKING DARE RT. DONT YOU FUCKING DARE BRING HIM BACK. FUCK YOU IF YOU DO. HE SERVED HIS FUCKING PURPOSE AND NOW HES DEAD, LEAVE HIM FUCKING BE!

ALSO HES FUCKING DUMB AND USELESS AND WE NEED HARE TO LEAD THE ACES NOW OKAY? We need someone willing to draw blood, not a showboat

Hare’s commentary is mine. Angry snort indeed.

Winters there too, looks like shes still beat to shit. Annnd there’s Ironwoods new arm.

Adorable specialist is adorable. Huh. Wonder if I can use her for something.

Medical brace for Winter...odd. Did she suffer burns or something? A stimm sleeve like in Gears?

Blah blah giant Grimm force blah blah okay yeah whatever

Atlas has hardlight shields. Okay, good. But we know how useful those are against proper attacks...You got anything else? Missiles? AA batteries? SOMETHING?

Seriously its a giant flying army, fill the fucking sky you morons!

Oh look its the two useless members of Atlas’s council.

YEAH! FUCK YEAH! THATS WHAT I WANNA SEE! GET HIS ASS IRONWOOD! FUCK YEAH! NOW SHOOT THE OTHER BITCH TOO! MAKE IT CLEAR THEYVE SERVED THEIR PURPOSE!

That POSTURE. THE CASUALNESS! THE PROPER FIRING STANCE! UGH ITS SO GOOD!

Wish we coulda seen the dude get smashed though. Damn ratings. I wanna know what a bullet does to a person in this universe.

Hare’s face here was the perfect ending to the situation. Confusion, wonder...acceptance. Exactly.

Same with Winter actually.

Huh. Wonder who Salems talking to.

And now for the new opening...

Everythings going to shit, shocker. Nic ecallbacks to other stuff. Oh great does Salem have WINGS now?

This last part reminds me of the trailer for Halo Wars 2

Wonder if the shadow under Crescent Rose at the end means anything.

Annnndddd thats it for this episode! See you all next week!

Agents of Shield Rewatch 4x11 Hot Potato Soup

Y’all, I just took Sudafed at 11pm because I’m having an allergic reaction to something (strawberries probably long story) and anyway Sudafed HYPES. ME. UP. But also it’s the only thing I can take because I’m also allergic to Benadryl.

TLDR: I’m doped up and ready to watch this episode when I should be going to sleep WOOOOOOO

Getting good use of Disney’s ownership of Star Wars I see

The Russians are after the Keonigs and honestly this totally fits my life right now

Not Billy! He’s my favorite Keonig!

Jk I can’t tell them apart

Well they figured out Radcliffe is ganged up with Nadeer bloop

Jemma and Mack are over. it.

“Things are not as they seem” lawd is that the understatement of the year

Ha ha Billy is super funny but also DON’T TRUST RADCLIFFE EVER

They’re in a freaking submarine?? OMG that’s totally normal

But also Radcliffe is being really obvious trying to get the book location out of him

John Hannah is like acting the heck out of this robot scene

Keonig reads Black Widow/Quake fics #relatable

Robot!Radcliffe goes for the low blows

But also SHUT UP

:( My heart hurts for Fitz

I’m assuming the “LT” in “LT Keonig” stands for “Little Turd”

Mack and Jemma want to have words with Fitz’s dad and like BRUH

Be careful what you wish for

Robot!May wants to makeout mwahahahaha

Snaps for this conspiracy theory slam poetry

LT IS A LADY GASP

I take back the Little Turd comment

Now I’m thinking it stands for Lady Tussle

Well the Aida murderless streak is over

Allergy update: I think my swollen lip has gone down. It’s definitely less itchy. But my hype level is still like +5 Hype so

I love Jemma’s little speech to Fitz awwww so sweet

SHE IS THE BEST

I like to think my brain is bright and sparkly too

“Enough DNA to make a clone army” ummmmmmmmmmm

THEY KNOW ABOUT MAY

Robot!May is thirsty AF but I’m guessing that robot tongue is full functional and lifelike

I do feel for Robot!May though. She doesn’t want to be part of this.

Pow pow

RADCLIFFE HAS THE DARKHOLD NOOOOOOOOOOO

Also don’t make robots if you’re not going to treat them responsibly

I wish we saw more of LT she’s a cool lady

The Russians want to...kill Coulson?

That’s kind of anticlimactic really

I mean it’s nothing against Coulson, but that’s really what’s driving a sub full of Russian baddies??

Ok I guess

Well we’re back down in the -1000/10 range on the Aida Shenanigans scale because...yeah...murderbot. Jemma Simmons rates a 500/10 on the Good Girlfriend scale for being just what Fitz needed. Meanwhile, the Koenigs all get my Potentially Most Fun Family Thanksgiving Dinner Award. I wanna be there y’all.

My song choice for this episode is the “Cantina Band” from Star Wars:A New Hope by John Williams as I’m pretty sure this is exactly what was playing in Billy’s head as he chased around his sedative induced puppy.

youtube

#aosrewatch #aosrewatchs4 #earth vs space #team earth aos #daisy johnson #melinda may #both robot and real #phil coulson #holden radcliffe #aida #alphonso mackenzie #jemma simmons #leo fitz #billy koenig #lt koenig #and a bunch of other Koenigs #I can't list them all because I can't remember them #sorry guys

Darling in the Franxx (ep. 15)

HOLY FREAKING...well, that certainly was a LOT that happened in only 24 minutes. A lot of plot threads, a really good fight scene, a lot of new questions, but most importantly that thing where the OP plays during the climax, amazing. There’s a lot going on here, I’ll probably miss some, but I’ll try. *warning* This is a very long post.

>”Don’t worry Hiro, we’ll be fine.” All I’m thinking at this point is cut to black, Always Sunny in Philadelphia theme playing, “The gang fucking dies.” It was a pretty good scene though, it showed me at least how much more I care about the cast now than I did back in episode 6, which if from “not at all” to “if you kill any main characters I will cry”.

>Huh, so the Nines have the guys and girls in swapped positions, that’s interesting, the guys also have holographic horns that look like 02′s, veeeerrry interesting... But like, are they bad guys? Are they neutral? What’s their angle here? Every time they show up, they just raise more questions.

>Yup, all those dudes at the end of last episode got sucked dry by 02 (*lenny face*), Dr. Franxx you are still one sick puppy, but it’s hard to tell what your end goal is here, you may act like you care about 02′s well-being, but I don’t buy it, you have some ulterior motive and I WILL FIND IT. Eventually. When it’s served up for all to see on a silver platter. BUT THEN I WILL KNOW FOR SURE WHAT YOU ARE ON ABOUT!

>So Papa and his marry group of fucks are still being cryptic as all hell, what wish do they want that needs control of the Gran Crevasse? The heck is a Hringhorni? By pests do you mean Klaxxosaurs, humans, children, all of the above? I don’t get it. But the cut away to Streliza when Dr. Franxx says he wants a front row seat, now thats good editing.

>Now this is a good fight scene! Bright colors, understandable positions of every combatant, not breaking the 180* rule, even the CG wasn’t bad. Where was this quality of animation earlier? Doesn’t matter, we got to see everyone be badass and that’s good for me.

>And now for your requisite Plot ex Machina, an even bigger Klaxxosaur that no one has even heard of. *sigh* I mean, you already burned out the Guttenberg class, and power creep is a thing, this was inevitable...fine...I’m fine...it’s fine...fight a fucking mountain, at least it looks cool. That panning side shot of the internals of the Plantation, now that was really cool looking, I paused the video to look closer at it, highly detailed for a shot only a second long, I respect that. Then Papa tells the red shirts to kamikaze the thing, which is messed up, but it confirms the whole fanaticism thing people have for him, cause despite knowing they’re being told to die outright, they do it anyway, and of course it does effectively nothing at all, good fucking job, you killed a bunch of kids for no evident reason, but you don’t care do you? I’m talking to a brick wall here, let’s just move the fight to a new backdrop yeah?

>Whoa, those are some gnarly horns 02, you feeling ok? Who am I kidding, we all know the answer is “utterly distraught but refusing to show it”, this is actually a really cool design evolution for her, I dig it, but more on that later.

>Slight tangent, how close is the Garden to the briefing room? How long did it take Hiro to calmly get there while a freaking war was taking place? And the bit with the mirror...like, I get it, it’s symbolic, but it fell kinda flat for me, was that really the only kick in the pants you could think to get Hiro down there? And not to mention after taking his sweet time he goes out and finds a training drone to get to 02. THE LAYOUT OF THE PLANTATION MAKE NO SENSE UNLESS THE FIGHT WAS GOING ON FOR HOURS ON END! AND WHO LET HIRO CASUALLY USE THE ELEVATOR IN THIS TIME OF CRISIS!? *ahem* Right, back to the battle.

>Hey look, it’s that old lady from the Zorome episode! She contributes nothing to this scene! Ok, that’s not entirely true, her being there reminds us what Zorome is fighting for, and how his resolve to fight for the adults is probably more than just orders to him. The framing is also really cool, gives some nice perspective on the size of the robots, and the lady watching as Zorome’s robot (I dont know the specific name, and yeah it’s Miku’s too, but this shot is about Zorome) is pretty poignant, provides some payoff for that episode.

>My man Goro! Finally fed up with all the bullshit and taking control. Letting Hiro and Ichigo work this out together was the best way to go about this, and he did it so well, and the bit with Zorome/Miku telling him to stop trying to act all cool was so appropriate for them, lightening the mood before things got heavy.

>And boy does shit get heavy. The mind melding thing was cool, and would you look at that, Ichigo is not a bad character, she just had to be shown what her actions meant, seeing that was a hard pill to swallow, but needed. I really like how 02′s thought captions mirror Hiro’s, but are distorted, capital letters and numbers thrown in at random, it works for her in the state she’s in. Now the fight between them was cool, but let’s be honest, WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU DESIGN A ROBOT TO HAVE HAIR UNDER THE HELMET? DID YOU EXPECT IT TO BREAK? WHY DOES IT MOVE LIKE ACTUAL HAIR? EACH LOCK SHOULD BE THE SIZE OF A FREAKING SEDAN! *ahem* It’s just dumb, but whatever, helps distinguish her silhouette against all the Nines who’s robots look kinda similar.

>Before we get to the flashback of sad, it’s time for plot revelations! Yay! Turns out the Klaxxo-cores are humans in some way! Well that was...kinda unexpected, reminds me of the Anti-Spirals from Gurren Laggan a little bit. I do like how the kids are trying to deny it, they don’t want to believe it’s possible, but here it is, right in front of your eyes. And you know what else is in front of your eyes? Papa blowing up Plantations to break the dome, cause he doesn’t give a fuck about any of you, that’s a fun pill to swallow and will definitely effect some character’s perceptions going forward. “Release them from the cages of their bodies.”? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? THIS SCENE IS CREEPY AS ALL HELL MAN!

>FLASHBACK TIME! I AM EMOTIONALLY UNSTABLE! But I was right about the blood thing! Yes, it was obvious, but still right! GOD BABY 02 YOU ARE MAKING ME SAD! *unintelligible sounds of despair* It’s just a really good scene ok? Then her horns shattering? Beautiful. This is EXACTLY what I want from these characters, their interaction was so raw and good and the kiss, AUGH!

>OH SHIT THEY’RE PLAYING THE OPENING! OH SHIT TRUE FORM UNLOCKED! WOOOOOOO! I am fully aboard the hype train here. Ichigo’s single tear was good, I think she’s come to terms with the fact Hiro wants to be with 02, that they are in love and she has to let him go, it hurts, but it’s for the best. Still not a huge fan of the bird metaphor, but I will take it here cause we got character growth out of it, and I like that.

>A giant...hand? And the Nines knew about it because of course they do. That is one hell of a cliffhanger, I think we are reaching that point, the point in every Trigger show where the plot does a 180* and things get W E I R D, and I am so ready for that.

Ok, that went on way longer than expected, but they packed a whole heck of a lot in this episode, so I had a lot I wanted to talk about. I think this show has definitely “gotten good” and I am super excited to see them start answering some questions as to what in the hell is going on here.

Found my old notes for the fanfiction where Harry gets turned into a werewolf. The only thing I forgot to mention is my later development that it’s a Drarry fic later... You can read it if you like, it’s just exceptionally long and full of spoilers. If I ever get the darn thing written that is...

“Past” Harry manages to stun Ratman (Peter Pettigrew) and the traitor doesn't escape. This is how Sirius is cleared of all charges and allowed to take custody of Harry.

In this world, Harry was going to get bitten either way. Either past Harry would have gotten charged by Were-Lupin and bitten sooner, or Time Turner Harry would have gotten bitten later in the forest.

They stop to see past Harry throwing a rock at were-Lupin, then freezing when were-Lupin starts to charge him.

Hermione raises her hands to cup her mouth and howls. “A-woooo!”

Harry grabs her hands and forces them down. “What are you doing?”

“Saving your life!” Hermione does it again. “A-wooooooo!”

Were-Lupin stops attacking past Harry.

Harry: “Thanks.”

Were-Lupin then bounds toward them.

Harry: “Great. Now he's coming for us.”

Hermione: “Yeah, didn't think about that. Run!”

They run deeper into the forest, through old trees with little underbrush, uneven ground, and many exposed roots.

Were-Lupin is after them, shaking bushes and tearing up dirt as he runs.

Harry trips on some roots, but is up again almost immediately.

Hermione grabs his hand and they hide behind a big, old tree, pressing their backs against it.

They can hear Were-Lupin pacing around, and sidle around the tree to stay out of his sight, Hermione first. (She seems to be taking initiative here!)

Were-Lupin utters a small growl, perhaps wondering why there is no female werewolf?

The sound of cicadas.

Were-Lupin howls, and it sounds faint. Far away?

So the two continue moving around the tree, looking where they think Were-Lupin is.

Hermione actually leads Harry backward straight toward Were-Lupin!

She didn't mean to, and Were-Lupin can move very silently. He'd circled around them.

Once Were-Lupin spots them, he growls and moves in … for the kill. Most likely.

There's not enough time to run, and Harry protects Hermione with his own body.

When Harry is attacked by Were-Lupin, Harry is shielding Hermione with his body and has his wand in his left hand. Harry seems to be a touch ambidextrious, and while holding his wand in his left hand seems mostly to free his right hand to do something else, he likely could cast spells that way with little trouble. Spells run through Harry's mind. A Protego spell isn't likely to work against a werewolf, Stupefy might be too weak. Harry thinks of the Immobulus spell and decides on it. In the fractions of a second it takes for him to decide and begin to say the spell, Lupin is on him. The werewolf lunges under Harry's outstretched left arm and bites his shoulder. The werewolf's jaws are powerful enough to shatter some of Harry's bones. The werewolf shakes his head, tossing Harry around like a terrier with a rat. Then Harry is tossed through the air, lands against a tree and falls to the ground. That's when Buckbeak comes in, but it's too late for Harry to avoid being bitten by the werewolf.

He doesn't really feel alert again until they're on Buckbeak flying to rescue Sirius, and the fresh sharp wind is blowing in his face.

When Harry and Hermione come back to the hospital ward, Harry is paler than usual, weak at the knees, and about to pass out from blood loss.

Dumbledore is at Harry's side as Snape prepares to seal the werewolf bite. Blood is still pouring out of the puncture wounds, coating Harry's whole left side and arm in crimson. Dumbledore explains to Harry that they can treat the wounds and allow Harry to live, as a werewolf – but it is entirely Harry's choice. Harry of course would much rather be alive than not.

Perhaps the bite burns, but the silver/dittany burns even more.

Probably in the hospital ward, while sealing the wound with the silver and dittany mixture, Harry would be in a great deal of pain, similar to a wound being cauterized with fire. It might even take several people to hold him down and complete the procedure.

Snape is brought in to bring a Calming Draught, among other potions and the silver/dittany. Snape is preturbed, and later confronts Dumbledore. “You promised you would protect him!”

Harry briefly wakes up early the next morning, turns his head, and sees Lupin lying unconsious in the bed beside him.

When Lupin wakes up in the ward and realises he's attacked his dead best friend's son, he's utterly horrified. It's his worst nightmare. And he still has Harry's blood on his lips.

Harry wouldn't change immediately after being bitten, but rather the next full moon an entire month from then.

Hermione feels terrible, like it's her fault that Harry got bitten, because she howled to lure Lupin away but ended up drawing him closer to Harry. However, Harry points out that if she hadn't howled, he'd have been bitten at a much less convinient time.

Sirius, Harry, and Lupin stand before Dumbledore. The young werewolf is nervous. However, the Dursleys don't have the resources needed to care for Harry anymore, not now that he needs specialized potions and a room to lock himself away in. (The cupboard under the stairs just won't do!) It is time to break the protective spell and let Harry live with his godfather.

Sirius, Lupin, and Dumbledore decide to move Harry into Sirius's house where Sirius can keep an eye on him and Lupin can help Harry adjust to being a werewolf. Lupin knows how to make the potion, for example, and can teach Harry coping methods for hiding his lycanthropy and dealing with the transformations. Besides, living with his godfather is a better situation than living with the Dursleys.

Dumbledore puts in a good word (or several) for Sirius, and SB swaggers out of his trial at the Ministry with pride. “Sirius Black is a free man!” He's been totally vindicated. And maybe he enjoys spooking a couple of wizards in the Ministry as they leave, but mostly he behaves himself now. Also he registers as an official Animagus.

In Sirius's house, there will be a room set aside to keep Harry safe during the full moon, a plain, bare room enchanted with Silencing Spells among other things.

Harry grazes. All the time. At least when it's not the week before the full moon. He'll just go in the kitchen and get a bit of everything, astonished that he can. Perhaps, with unlimited access to food (even though it's not the best, considering who's cooking it) he even gains a few inches of height and a few muscles. Eventually Lupin, who is the only one of the trio who can cook, starts preparing meals.

How would Sirius deal with two moody werewolves in his house right before the full moon?

Lupin teaches Harry everything he knows about being a werewolf.

What I headcanon is this: the “cycle” is the six days before the full moon and the full moon day itself. Symptoms include loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting if one does eat (no matter what it is), a steadily growing ache in the bones and joints, a “restlessness” within one's own skin, growing sleeplessness, and a chronic inability to stay warm. Sweaters are much appreciated by werewolves.

Lupin tries to teach Sirius and Harry how to brew Wolfsbane Potion, but Lupin cannot make the complete potion – it's only good enough for them to keep their heads while transforming. Only Snape knows how to make the perfect potion, which allows the werewolves to sleep through the transformation.

“Wear something you don't mind being ripped to shreds,” Lupin advises, the day of the first full moon since Harry was bitten.

Harry makes sure to remove his glasses before the full moon rises.

“I refuse to be afraid of the moon, Lupin.”

Even as a werewolf, the lightning bolt scar is still visible above Harry's right eye.

Were-Harry can't stand on his legs properly when he first transforms, flailing about like he's on stilts and faceplanting a lot. Every so often he still stumbles and falls, and Sirius can't help but snicker a little, although not unkindly. It's very truly comedic how Harry forgets how to walk as a werewolf. (Sometimes the same happens when he's human again.)

Sirius is on one end of a sofa, Were-Lupin has folded himself onto the other end. It's the middle of the night. Were-Harry is playfully riccocheting around the house behind their heads, breaking things. The energy of a teenage werewolf is often rather destructive... At least he's working it out on the furniture. Were-Harry streaks across the room behind the sofa. Something crashes and shatters. Sirius calmly takes a drink out of his goblet and says, “He'll grow out of it.” As Were-Harry streaks back through, Were-Lupin sighs through his nose.

Harry doesn't get the scars on his cheeks until after his first transformation.

In the behind the scenes, it is stated that they used scars on Lupin's face to sort of visually transition between the man and the wolf. It's not stated that all weres have them, but it's a logical conclusion and a headcanon I'll be running with. After all, stretching the facial skin like that is sure to damage it.

(Harry's scars: the lightning bolt over his right eye, the Basilisk scar on his arm, the bite scar on his left shoulder, and finally the scars on his cheeks once he transforms for the first time.)

Lupin's hand is on Harry's shoulder – his right, never his left. They've gone to the Werewolf Registry shortly after Harry's first transformation. The scars on his face are still new and tender. It's tense, getting Harry on the registry. They take a picture of him, Harry blinking his eyes in the bright light. As they leave, Harry is used to being stared at, but now there's a new shame in it. He really is a monster, isn't he? Lupin doesn't know what to tell him.

Harry's senses sharpen a little even when he's not transformed, and he finally understands why Lupin talks so quietly.

Sirius asks about Harry's years at Hogwarts, and Harry animatedly tells the tale of the Sorcerer's Stone and the Chamber of Secrets. Lupin supplies some details he's overheard whilst being a professor. Sirius is much amused, and also concerned that Harry seems to encounter danger so often that he's begun to refer to it casually.

Harry doesn't talk about the years he's spent at the Dursley's. It will take a long time for Sirius to coax even the smallest details out of him. Remember that Harry doesn't trust adults to solve or even care about his problems, so even when presented with a caring adult all to himself Harry would likely continue trying to quietly solve everything himself.

Harry and Sirius playing Quidditch somewhere, just barely out of the sight of Muggles.

Sirius accidentally calls Harry “James”, and in playful payback Harry calls Sirius by his middle name, “Orion.”

Harry and Sirius both have nightmares – Sirius comforts Harry with hugs, allowing Harry to silently climb into his lap even if its the middle of the night, and Sirius is the anchor that Harry's always longed for without knowing it.

Harry accidentally calls Sirius “dad.” He tries to apologize, but Sirius says he “would be honored” to be called that.

When Hermione and Ron show up at Sirius's house to see Harry, they are shocked at his staggeringly gaunt appearance, the effect of several transformations over the summer already. However, as it's a good time of the moon cycle, Harry is his usual jovial self.

It might take a while for Harry to completely trust Sirius, considering he fully believed his godfather was the reason his parents died.

However, Harry's trust of Lupin is also similarly shattered, having seen both the infinitely gentle wizard and the uncontrollably vicious werewolf. (Harry's Boggart is now Lupin transforming into a werewolf.) Although Harry understands that Lupin is harmless when he manages to get enough Wolfsbane potion, sometimes he flinches when Lupin touches him.

Scratch that, Harry flinches when anyone unexpectedly touches him. He doesn't exactly invite people into his personal space, not even his closest friends.

However, Were-Harry can be more receptive to physical contact, acting almost like a friendly dog at times. Of course, he tries to retain his decorum, but sometimes he can't help his instinct to nuzzle his family/friends and to play like a puppy. Although he is a teenager, Harry hasn't been allowed nearly enough opportunity to play and will frolic merrily. Of course, being safe in Black's house allows him to be more open with his real personality.

Harry is a snuggly, energetic werewolf. He climbs Sirius like Link climbs my mom, despite Sirius's protests. Lupin snorts in amusement.

In his next year at Hogwarts, Harry steals the supplies for the potion from Snape's private store. Snape is furious when he figures it out. However, next time Harry is forced to sneak back and steal more ingredients, he finds a box of them set aside, as if Snape left them for him...

What if Harry uses the Shrieking Shack like Lupin did, going there to hide while he transforms. And Hermione is at first too scared to go with him, but Ron follows Harry and he's shocked to see his best friend painfully turn into a werewolf in front of him. Some of Ron's fears are relieved when were-Harry lays his lupine head on Ron's leg, like an apologetic dog.

Ron, as I've said before, is the first to follow Harry to the Shrieking Shack in their fifth year and witness Harry's transformation into his lupine form. (Ron and Hermione saw Harry over the summer, but never when he wasn't human.) Harry overhears Ron telling Hermione what his behavior is like when transformed, “Rather dog-like actually. He likes having his ears scratched.” Eventually Hermione accompanies them too. It's rather Marauders like.

Ron figures out that were-Harry likes having his ears scratched, and merrily (in private) takes advantage of this by teasing Harry, trying to scratch his ears when he's human, which ends up with the two of them chasing each other and playfighting. (Of course Harry is very careful not to accidentally bite Ron, he's been told what werewolf saliva can do even when not transformed.) Ron and Harry eventually fall into a playful mocking of Harry's lycanthropy, while Hermione is the steady rock and feeds Harry advice she's learned from books. But she wouldn't mind too much if Harry lays with his head in her lap, and eventually begins to stroke his hair like she would if he were a dog.

Going to the Shrieking Shack is the worst in the winter. Harry wants to layer up in warm clothes, but he's only got so many to go around and repairing them is tricky. I think when he goes to the SS he would bring a spare set of clothes.

“You're going to kill yourself with that, Potter,” is Snape's curt statement when he walks in on Harry sneaking into the potions classroom to brew Wolfsbane on his own. Harry really did make a mistake, and if he drank it the potion would be lethal.

Harry tries to mend the very antagonistic relationship between himself and Snape when he realizes Snape saved his life that night and continues to help him with brewing Wolfsbane. Although they'll never be friendly, Harry can't find it in him to retain his usual level of anger toward the creepy professor. And while Snape does still fling insults at Harry, they don't have their normal venom.

That year is the Triwizard Cup. How would being the second Champion conflict with being a werewolf? And what would happen if his lycanthropy was outed?

“There's a problem with what day the second trial is. That's the day of the full moon!”

Dumbledore steps in and gets the trial stepped up a day. Harry is still sick, but it's not like he's going to transform in front of anybody.

When Sirius is killed in the Ministry battle, Harry nearly loses control and somewhat shifts into his were form, eyes flashing golden and teeth and nails growing sharper. However, as it's not a full moon, he doesn't entirely shift. He wants to maul Bellatrix, which is half of why he hesitates to use the killing curse on her, although ultimately he doesn't do either.

I imagine maybe a potential cease-fire with Draco, when Draco figures out that Harry's a werewolf. Why? Because Draco knows he's about to be heavily recruited into becoming a Death Eater. He doesn't want to be. And who does Voldemort not let be branded with the Dark Mark? Werewolves. But Harry biting Draco, even if it's with Draco's consent, would be very, very bad.

When hunting Horcruxes, they are unable to brew Wolfsbane. Luckily, Harry brewed loads of it and Hermione stored it in her “bloody beaded bag” for him. However, they didn't know the potion could go bad. After accidentally poisoning himself in the Black house, Harry always carries a few beozars (sp?) with him. That saved his life when he drank some of the spoiled potion. Ron and Hermione were outside, and he had to get the beozar himself. Ron and Hermione rush in to find Harry lying on his back, gasping for air and trying not to be nausous, spilled potion beside him.

There's a huge argument when they try to figure out what to do next. Harry is terrified that he's going to hurt his friends, and when Ron isn't convinced of his dangerousness Harry angrily describes Lupin's attack in graphic detail. Harry eventually comes up with the idea of using Imperio to control him, while Hermione wonders about Lockheart's dubious charm.

Hermione does use Imperio on were-Harry, ordering the snarling werewolf to “lay down” and “stay” like a dog. They keep a tense watch on the werewolf, who is a crouching bundle of snarling rage. However, the curse is enough to keep Harry contained until sunrise, when he painfully transforms back and sleeps the entire next day.

I think Harry would have a sort of instinct about knowing there's other werewolves about. His cheek scars tingle or burn, depending on who exactly the other werewolf is. Perhaps he begins examining the inherent instincts of the werewolf, discovering the innate sensing of pack heirarchies and the utter authority of the pack's Alphas. Lupin would be Harry's alpha, as they form a small two-wolf pack. That means Harry would unquestioningly obey Lupin in just about any situation. However, Harry eventually considers Hogwarts to be his territory and the students/staff to be his pack. As Hermione will say, “Don't threaten a werewolf's territory.”

Make Neville face off against Bellatrix!

Make Lupin and Harry fight Greyback!

After the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry goes to find the surviving enemy werewolves. He challenges their Alpha, creepy scarf man, and ends up the leader of a large portion of the werewolf population. (He practically throws off waves of authority and alpha werewolf vibes.) He wants to fight the wizarding stigma against werewolves, though.

Eventually, Harry Potter becomes both one of the youngest Aurors ever and the first werewolf Auror. He's also responsible for some of the influence that leads to werewolves being less “cast out” of wizarding society.
