CC Aurek Batch + 1
wanted to write some command batch shenanigans with a side of Just Slightly Weird. are they force-users? fae? eldritch creatures? i have no idea!
obligatory mandoa meanings, tho I use them as names so it doesn’t really matter, and it’s clarified who is who later on:
Mirdala: clever, smart
Edee: jaws, teeth
Kote: glory
Buirkan: responsibility
Gettse: courage, nerve
---
"Why is it," Alpha-17 sighed, "That whenever stupid shit happens, it's always you five?"
Every member of CC Batch Aurek blinked at him in unison, wearing the same identical expressions of innocence.
Creepy.
"Sorry, sir," Mirdala lied, like the little liar that he was. 
"Didn't mean to cause problems, sir," Edee also lied.
Kote opened his mouth but Alpha held up a hand, stopping him from speaking. Kote was a terrible liar. It was embarrassing. Alpha had completely failed in teaching that one any kind of subtlety, and did not need a reminder of the reason for Fordo's constant mockery.
"Alright," he said, "Show me the poor cadet you kidnapped."
"I wasn't kidnapped," a young, mulish voice said from behind the perfectly-arrayed line of teenage CCs. "I came on purpose."
"Yes, I'm sure they gave you the option of refusing," Alpha drawled. He glanced pointedly toward Buirkan, who at least had the decency to look somewhat guilty about it. "Go on, move."
The quintet shuffled uncertainly, holding out just a little longer before finally parting to reveal the cadet tucked behind Kote and Gettse, gently pushing him forward. Alpha'd had his suspicions about why Aurek decided to openly lay claim on a CT, and the blond roots in the kid's hair certainly explained some of it.
"CT-7567, sir," the cadet said, snapping to attention. His salute was a little shaky, but Alpha didn't often interact with the CTs, and the rumors of him being an asshole were--well, true, but at least a little overblown.
When the cadet stopped there, offering nothing else, Alpha turned his attention to Aurek with a pointed, judgemental frown.
Kote stepped forward and wrapped an arm around the kid's shoulders.
"His name is Rex," Kote said proudly, with the smugness of someone who'd clearly won naming rights, going by the disgruntled looks from his batchers. 
"He's one of Us," Edee added, belligerent, as if that was enough to excuse the five of them causing chaos and abducting a CT from the cadet barracks in broad fucking daylight. But Alpha heard the emphasis, and--
Well. That was enough.
The thing that not a lot of people knew--or if they did, they shut their damned mouths about it--was that the very first batch of CC-class clones decanted came out...odd.
'Unsettling,' had been the word Mij Gilamar used, said without rancor, unlike the reactions from some of the other trainers. 'Unnatural,' was what Walon Vau called them. Isabelle Reau said that they were 'horrible little abominations', and while Alpha cared exactly fuck-all about what Reau and Priest had to say, he still made sure that Aurek never ended up near their illicit battle circles. 
Jango Fett had watched them for a single training session, face growing steadily darker as they demolished the shooting range, and then he'd turned heel and left without a word. 
Alpha was pretty sure that was just because they were already close to beating his scores. Sucks to suck, Prime.
There was nothing psychologically, physically, or genetically wrong about Aurek--that the Kaminoans could prove, anyway--and all five were clearly on track to be high-ranked soldiers whenever the war finally started. 
But they were, admittedly, really fucking weird sometimes.
"That true?" Alpha asked the cadet. "You're one of them?"
Now that he looked, he could see the similarities between Rex and the rest of Aurek: the little CT was already synced with them, breathing and blinking in time. His eyes bore the same unnatural intensity, and Alpha wondered if he would also be able to locate the others no matter how far away they were.
Rex nodded, a pleased smile breaking across his face. It didn't seem like he smiled that often.
"Yeah!" he said enthusiastically. "I'm one of them, and they're one of me, and we're all gonna be together now."
Rex looked up at Kote, who smiled besottedly down at him.
"This is Cody!" he said. 
"And this is Gree," he said, patting Gettse's arm.
"That's Bly," he said, nodding toward Buirkan.
"And those're Fox and Wolffe," he said, pointing at Mirdala and Edee.
Alpha took in the newly-named Aurek batch with raised eyebrows. They couldn't quite mask their happiness at the new monikers, and Bly stepped forward, meeting Alpha's gaze.
"We will always treasure the names you gave us," he said earnestly, as if Alpha was some tubie in need of reassurance, "But we gave him his name, and he wanted to give us something back."
It wasn't as if the clones had possessions, after all, and names were one of the few things that the Kaminoans couldn't take away. 
Alpha scoffed and cuffed Bly in the side of the head.
"I'm not offended, you little brat," he said, "And I'll still call you what I damn well want."
Bly just beamed at him, pleased, and Alpha rolled his eyes. He pushed Bly back into the circle of his batchers and their new plus-one, and if there was any kind of gentleness in his touch, he would deny it until he died.
"Meet up for training tomorrow at the usual time," he ordered, "And bring the kid with you."
Grins all around. 
"Sir, yes sir!"

really really really long ramble ahead about q!Foolish's federation situation bc i have thoughts. you've been warned :'D
(below the cut!)
i cannot get over how much shit could hit the fan with this whole q!Foolish situation. literally so many relationships could hinge on how things play out
firstly, we have no idea how q!Pac and q!Mike are going to react to q!Foolish when they see him next (likely tomorrow, as per what cc!Pac said at the end of the Tazercraft stream). they might get mad and take revenge, maybe try and use him to find and rescue Walter Bob... etc, etc. q!Foolish wants them to be released (little does he know...) and he hopes to still be friends with them even tho they may not want the same, but he really has no true idea what he's gotten himself into...
i don't think their relationship will ever be the same regardless of what info comes out, but that's essentially just the tip of the iceberg
what i'm most curious about personally is q!Cellbit (and q!Forever) finding out about how he lied about Richas's life being on the line. because i already know that ain't gonna end well. both q!Cellbit and q!Forever are fiercely protective of Richas. q!Cellbit absolutely despises liars and he already threatened q!Foolish while interrogating him
q!Cellbit places a lot of trust in q!Foolish. we saw that in how they bonded when q!Foolish was constructing the castle, and how q!Cellbit wanted to have him build something else for him just so they could spend time together. and it was really solidified in q!Cellbit telling q!Forever today how he has a hard time believing q!Foolish would lie and use Richas’s name to do so. he doesn’t find q!Foolish “capable” of betraying them somehow
q!Cellbit finding out the truth could seriously fuck with him and their relationship. so could him finding out about q!Foolish's actual federation job, but more on that later
q!Cellbit himself killing q!Foolish has potential problems of its own, namely with q!Roier and their relationship. i mean, that's his dad. but at least for me, it's hard to really gauge how q!Roier will react, especially now that him and q!Cellbit are married. i think its circumstantial, but i'm not too too worried about spiderbit
q!Foolish dying also has the potential for some major problems with q!Vegetta if/when he comes back. and i fear for Richas's life if q!Vegetta were to find out, but i digress, let's not go there-
i think a lot of people won't see q!Foolish the same way, at least for a while, if they find out he lied, but i think the bigger problem now lies in his job with the federation
if that gets out, that could burn a lot of bridges. i'll say when actually, because as much as i love q!Foolish, i don't think he can keep this a secret forever. i don't think q!Jaiden will say anything, but who knows, honestly?
unlike q!Cellbit's infiltration to rescue q!Felps and learn more about the federation, and q!Fit using his janitorial job to try and find the player data he wants, q!Foolish is doing this for himself and the federation. unlike both of them, and a majority of the Ordo Theoritas he's technically apart of, he's not anti-federation, he's not anti-Cucurucho, and at that, he's really not neutral, either
i find q!Foolish to be such an interesting character. he knows what he wants a majority of the time and he's willing to do pretty much anything to get what he wants. in this situation, he's aware of his actions having consequences but he does it anyway because it's what he believes benefits himself the most, regardless of what others may say or do. and that's such an interesting character trait, but it can be such a detrimental one, too
did q!Foolish get manipulated tho? to an extent, yes. Cucurucho called him "unique," and i refuse to believe that was out of genuine belief. he's never expressed major interest in q!Foolish until recently. i also don't think Mr. Mustard is alive anymore, quite frankly, if what was said about them eating said capybara is anything to go by. but q!Foolish is so desperate to become Cucurucho's friend and also save Mr. Mustard. he said it himself: he's willing to do just about anything. that leaves the door wide open, doesn't it? Cucurucho is playing a game, and q!Foolish is playing right into it
and if q!Foolish doesn't ultimately go on a traitor arc and he does in fact get used, it kinda sucks for him, really, bc we saw what happened to q!Felps thinking Cucurucho was nice and his friend, and q!Jaiden is probably getting used in a similar way, rather for the fact she's willing to do anything for the eggs
if q!Foolish does get used, and the others catch on to that (mainly q!Cellbit), i think that could be the saving grace for q!Foolish and his relationship with the other members of the island. because it wasn't all his fault, and i think people could see it through
but if not? that's a lot of irreparable damage, be it intentional or not. i'd love to see where that coud lead
that's really it tho. sorry for the word vomit :') if you made it this far, congrats!! what're your own thoughts about this situation? i'd love to see some other people's perspectives :D

Tommyinnit x masc nb reader where they don't try to hide their relationship from the internet, but at the same time refuse to confirm nor deny it.
Like...they have pictures online of them on dates, wearing each others clothes, in each other's background during stream, etc, etc. The evidence is right there??? But they don't confirm it. Matter of fact, they don't even "know who that ugly mug in the picture is".
Wilbur is the first one to leak their relationship tho, woops.
”whoops” killed me. Also, look at my funny little guy in the photo! It felt fitting.
Pairing: CC!Tommyinnit x Nb!Reader (romantic)
Evading Evidence
Tumblr media
Tommy’s streaming when you get tired of scrolling through Twitter. Normally you’re able to sit on his bed, just out of sight of his camera, and catch up on all the drama. It’s been a quiet few days though, so you’re already bored.
“I’m going to run to the store real quick.” You say, getting up.
Tommy turns, neither of you acknowledging the stream. Chat’s going crazy about the fact you were there the entire thirty minutes Tommy’s been live for, and possibly longer.
Despite the fact you and Tommy were dating, neither of you had let the internet know yet. Sure, there were pictures and Tweets and remarks basically confirming it, but both of you were careful never to say it outright. At this point it was almost a game.
“Oh, can you get me twin gummy snakes?” Tommy asks, practically begging you with his eyes.
“Why would I do that?”
“Because I need fuel and you love me?”
You consider it for a second before giving in. “Fine. I’ll be back in, like, ten minutes.”
“Thanks! Don’t get run over!”
“Why would I- never mind.”
Tommy doesn’t turn back towards the stream until after he hears you leave, shutting the door behind you. It’s only then that he takes notice of the chat freaking out over his words.
“Chat, what the fuck are you talking about? They don’t love me. Actually, I don’t have a clue who the fuck that was!” He exclaims. “Back to Minecraft.”
-
“Hey, is this okay to post?” Jack Manifold asks, practically shoving his phone into your face.
You take it, examining the Twitter draft. It’s a selfie he took before the filming of the latest Tom Simons vlog. Behind him you can barely see you and Tommy curled up on the couch together, looking at something. The photo is captioned “Tom Simons vlog done.”
“Sure. Tommy?” You ask, handing the phone over to him.
He barely takes a look at it. “Yeah.”
“Thanks!” Jack says cheerfully, immediately posting.
“Time to fight the stans like our lives depend on it.” You joke, already opening Twitter and navigating to Jack’s profile.
“It’s fucking funny.” Tommy laughs.
“Gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss. What’re you tweeting?”
“I’ll reply to yours.” He leans over to watch you type out your reply, reading it aloud. “'Not Jack photoshopping the background'.”
“Are you two ever going to tell the internet?” Jack asks, laughing a little.
“Oh, the internet definitely knows. They just chose to believe us when we lie to their faces.” You answer.
“I’m replying ‘incredibly disrespectful.’” Tommy announces. You get the notification of his reply right after he says it.
“Don’t get me canceled.” Jack sighs.
“No promises.”
-
"Why are you talking about Tommy so much?" A donation asks.
You were doing a just chatting stream, spilling some fun stories. A few of them had been dates with Tommy, but you didn't call them dates. Chat still had their suspicions though.
"Because I hate him." You deadpan, staring into your camera. "Worst person ever, kill all Tommyinnits."
It barely takes a second for the chat to react to your words, thousands of people calling you a liar. As your eyes flick through messages, one catches your eye.
"Why are you wearing his hoodie then, hm?" Gets read aloud. "Well, you see, it simply isn't his. This very clearly branded Tommyinnit hoodie? Mine."
It's merch of his that hadn't shipped yet, his name displayed across your chest. The only possible way for you to have some would be him giving you some or you stealing his. One guess as to what you did.
Yeah, you took his.
"I have the fastest shipping in the world guys, you have to believe me."
Nobody believes you. It's not even the first time you've worn his clothes, just the first you've worn them on stream. Maybe you should've been a little more careful, but oh well. Who really cares anyways? The game was fun, but not too serious.
"Besides, as if I'd ever wear something Tom fucking Simons tainted with his gremlin hands." It's a fun little jab, one you know he'll hear about later. Probably from Twitter.
"Hey!" Tommy yells from somewhere in the flat.
Or maybe he'll hear about it right that second. He must be watching your stream, making you smile.
"Sorry." You say it in a way that clearly shows you don't mean the apology, laughing to yourself a little. After running a hand through your hair, you speak again. "Did I tell you guys about how I almost killed a person by riding a bike the other day?"
-
Of course, all jokes eventually end. This one just happens to meet its death in Wilbur's hands, live on stream.
“We’re out, we’ll see you tomorrow for the vlog.” Tommy says, pulling you to your feet.
It’s been over an hour of being on Wilbur’s stream, stuck in his little cramped office. One person was fine, two could fit, but three was just too much. Besides, you knew Tommy’s limit was an hour.
“Have a good stream!” You tell Wilbur cheerfully, shutting the door before he gets the chance to say goodbye. To make up for it, he waves.
“And there go the lovers.” Wilbur jokes to his stream, putting himself back into the middle of the frame now you and Tommy are gone. “Off to do whatever they do.”
It barely takes a minute for chat to explode, making Wilbur realize exactly what he just did. His face drains of color as he sits up.
“Shit- fuck. It was a joke, guys. A joke.”
Like a dog with a bone, chat’s already taken his words and ran with them. Wilbur’s fuck up is beyond repair. Instead of digging himself a deeper grave, he just messages you and Tommy.
You’re both back in his office in a matter of seconds, having sprinted back down the corridor. It wasn’t that you were upset, more just panicked. This definitely wasn’t how you meant to confirm it.
“Well… shit.” Tommy finally speaks, just off camera. “You’ve leaked it Wil.”
“I didn’t fucking mean to!”
“We should leak something about you in return.” You joke.
“Hey, I didn’t mean to!” Wilbur quickly defends himself.
Tommy pokes his head into the camera frame to address chat, grinning to show he isn’t pissed at Wilbur at all. You laugh, waiting to see what he’ll say.
“Oi, chat, you’re all fucking dumb. Took you lot long enough.”
Wilbur sags with visible relief, glad neither of you are going to kill him for his slip-up. Now that it’s established he didn’t ruin everything, it’s a lot funnier.
“We’re going to miss the movie showing.” You announce, checking your phone for the time.
“Fuck. Bye again.” Tommy laughs as you drag him out the door.
When the door shuts, Wilbur laughs and shakes his head. “Whoops?”

Yeah, I am pretty sure he thought of it as a light-hearted way to explain Sunny why Tallulah is moody. Doesn’t change the fact that it was a fucked up thing to say and genuinely hurtful for a literal toddler.
This and your point about people not being able to let go of the whole Dadza thing are two of my biggest problems with q!Phil. I know it's not cc!Phil's fault how people treat him but the way people overhype his parenting does make it more irritating as a viewer. It's not just fans, though, most characters seem to share this view of him as an amazing Dad. The fact that he stepped up for Tallulah when Wilbur left is great and the effort he puts in is great, but his parenting skills are just okay.
It feels like every time he talks to or about Sunny he ends up doing something bad that's brushed off because "that's just how Phil talks" or "he's just protecting his kids".
His reaction to Sunny's train was awful. I know he has a banter-y relationship with Tubbo but he was criticizing her father and her own choices right in front of her. It felt like he didn't even absorb any of what Tubbo was telling him. Like, why did he keep complaining about it feeling sterile when it was a brand new build and Sunny chose the white blocks themself?
The morality test about stealing the panda was completely unacceptable. Genuinely horrible thing to do to a child especially when he told her point blank at the end that it was a test that she managed to pass. Why would she trust someone who might be secretly testing her?
The talk in the museum was bad for both Sunny and Tallulah. Tallulah isn't "in a mood," she has genuine concerns but has still been making an effort with Sunny even while trying to maintain some distance. For Sunny he was playing up a very real insecurity to make a point. It's not really fair to Tubbo either, his game was having issues and he left his daughter with two of the people he trusts the most. I went to watch from the vod for slightly more context and chat reactions and Phil did not waste any time at all. The moment Tubbo was gone he rolled straight into it with Sunny.
There was also a point a few days ago where Tallulah showed some discomfort over Empanada and Phil responded with this:
Empanada’s nice, you like Empanada. You like Em. It’s Sunny you’re not a fan of. Sunny’s just all in your face with money and sunglasses and shit. But, like, Sunny’s fine too. Sunny’s just a bit much though. Sunny takes a while to get used to.
Sunny was not around for this but it's still a terrible way to talk about a child. They weren't even the egg Tallulah was concerned about at the time. And I do believe that q!Phil wasn't trying to be mean here but he still was. He is consistently unkind to Sunny even when he's trying to make a good point or a joking.
Wait, is the last thing a genuine quote? Because I haven’t heard this one before.
And yeah. Listen, Phil is a good parent. He takes care of Chayanne and Tallulah very well. He is a good parent, but it doesn’t mean that he is good that way for every other child ever. I think people forget that Dad figures in stories don’t mean that they are perfect in every adult-child relationship ever.
He is a great dad for Chay and Lullah. He is genuinely very condescending towards Sunny. It’s like every time they interact he just refuses to even try to see past his initial impression of them. Phil wrote her down for no reason as a shallow and tolerable at best kid in his books, and acts on that judgement in a way that he doesn’t care about her in any way past their basic safety and sometimes teaching them stuff if they need it immediately.
The only reason he pays Sunny any mind at all is that he cares for Tubbo. Also not in a parental way that people (and Tubbo lmao) seem to try and picture it as, but he cares. Sunny is just a tag along.
And don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that he should love her like his own or even really like her. It’s fine. I am saying that he still should treat her with the same grace as other kids that are not his – she is a child, you are speaking of and with a child, being mean about and to them is not okay. Especially because this child did literally nothing wrong.

So Dream was up at 4 am to call a guy who posted lies about him and twisted a woman’s experience to fit the narrative that Dream is creepy when nothing bad happened and she never gave permission for him to talk about her. And in the end Dream gave him the benefit of the doubt that he wasn’t trying to spread lies about him on purpose but this is the same guy who openly threatened Dream’s life a few months ago. And he couldn’t even talk to Dream yesterday because he was too drunk (while tweeting lies) (and he’s 18 years old) but now he’s saying Dream is evil for “allowing” an 18 year old to possibly drink when they were all just playing board games and he never even personally invited her over and he doesn’t even know her and she was with an entire group of her own friends and he isn’t her damn father. And even right now said guy is calling Dream a manipulative loser and people are praising him for it even though he’s the one who lied and manipulated the situation. And suddenly everyone loves and follows “the law” but only if it means they can use it against some dude they dislike. When it’s not even illegal in California for an 18 year old to drink at a private location if they’re with people who are 21+. And the girl in question literally had to ask this guy to delete his tweets but he’s still keeping it open-ended it to victimize her against her will and make himself look like some kind of savior of women. Also the fact that Dream knows content creators spread rumors about him behind his back. Yeah if I’M tired of this shit I can’t even imagine how Dream feels. It happens every time he interacts with a woman, even women that are his friends, and people refuse to call it misogyny. I’m going back to bed
You basically summed up the situation, yeah.
I wish Dream could catch a break, and I wish these ccs would take his name out of their mouths. Whatever came before, Dream is very much staying in his lane these days, he is literally in no one's business but his own and so beyond clout hunting I don't see what justification anyone has for coming at him so hard. They make up bullshit reasons based on nothing but rumours, and Dream once again has to defend himself. It's pathetic.
They should work on making their own content better instead of trying to spread lies to their measly 10k followers in an attempt to seem relevant for five minutes.

*pokes you in the eyes in a very nice and kind way.* Person that made you plushie god here. (Can I have my children back? You stole dem, gimmy em back ples.) Ur pav biker au thingy I am hyperfictioning on it too much, ty for making me get the sillies from dat. Biker pav awsom. ANND BIKER LEVI ALSO IS COOL, I couldn't leave out my soggy dog core buddy.
Owwwe …… my eye
ALSO HI UM…… using this as an excuse to infodump about my biker au…………. I’m a slight nerd abt motorbikes and It’s pavlevi centred so it’s mostly about them
Levi
- Ok realistically he’d have an A1 licence due to being 18 in Europe which restricts the bikes you can ride which is LAMEEEE!!
- In Czech you have to be 24 to get an A licence, meaning you can ride whatever. But idk that feels like too much of an age jump when everyone else is the same age
- Most other places make it so you have to be 21, so I’ll just use that instead. Levi can be 21 in this au
- I mean honestly I could just get rid of the motorcycle licence tier thing all together
- It’s a modern au but cmonnnn Funger universe does not give a fuck about its youth… but eh it’s whatever
- Prefers bikes around 600-800 cc. Fast !! But not exactly death wish fast…….. I mean kinda but still
- He just likes being able to accelerate fast, he doesn’t speed too much
- The top speed he’ll go is 150-170 km/h but Pav coaxes him in races to go faster
- The type of biker that prefers to go on long drives for hourssssss
- He just likes to go on rides to clear his head :3
- Id say he’d have a Yamaha XJ900 Diversion. But I did think of a Yamaha XJ6 Diversion F too
- either way, a Yamaha fan
- I’m going with the XJ900 tho… but hey, maybe it was his first bike, got an older model for cheap and then after a while of dating Pav he got a XJ6 after persistent bugging to get a faster bike
- XJ6 is still comfy for long rides but lighter and faster… more sporty than touring (They are both sport touring bikes)
- I mean XJ6 is only like 10 km/h faster so still staying with the XJ900
- Coz the XJ900 is FAST, 900cc, a very all around good bike. XJ6 is 600cc but faster due to being lighter and more built for speed.
- And realistically he’d only have the XJ900 bc bro cannot afford 2 bikes!
- He is not made out of money and he is not selling his XJ900 !!!! it’s sentimental !!!!
- got sent to military school as a kid by his bitch ass father, so he’s a little fucked up still
- Lived in a community housing place for a while after military school as he found out his mother died and refused to move back in with his dad
- Lives in a small apartment building now
- It’s really small and Pav keeps coming over for long periods so he’s thinking of moving into a bigger place for the both of them
- Has definitely dabbled into drugs(heroin mainly) before but trying to get clean… the long rides help clear his head
- Works at a gun/hunting shop owned by August
Pav
- All his bikes are 1000cc or more bc he’s actually crazy
- Ofc only owns sport bikes, gives them all names too
- While he does go through a lot of bikes, because he crashes all the time and somehow never gets severely hurt, his go-tos are Honda or Kawasaki bikes
- His favourite and longest owned bike is the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R… because she was the fastest Pav owned and he has a death wish
- He named her виктория (viktoria)
- She got into a crash so she’s been sitting in Abella’s shop while Pav saves up to fix her
- Takes his side mirrors off to lane split better
- Was a squid before Levi came around (squids are people who don’t wear protective gear) but still only wears heavy protective wear on night rides when he goes super fast
- During these night rides he so takes his license plate off lmaoooo
- Averages 200-300 km/h on the rides 💀
- Does a lotta bike tricks for fun too
- Served in the military for almost a decade and a half before having to retire for an unknown reason but still getting paid (ooooo mysterious)
- Does odd jobs here and there for extra cash
- But um don’t ask where he gets all the money for his bikes !!!!! He’s super cheap in every other aspect of his life
- He’s milking randoms for their money for alcohol, food, fuel, etc lollll
- Pav has gotten kicked out of apartments a few times in which he would sleep on Daan’s couch at his bar
- the type to stare down cops and purposely speed in front of them so they chase him, always leaves them in the dust bc he drives like a maniac
- Got caught once because he didn’t realise a cop was following him and he stopped for gas
- Got out of the speeding charge by giving the cop a blowjob bc I think that’s hilarious 
- Anything to get outta spending money ig 🔥🔥🔥
- All his bikes struggle to not go over the speed limit so he has to backpack Levi when cruising around town
- Pav complains abt Levi being slow and Levi tells him to shut up lol
- purposely makes his exhausts louder than necessary because he’s definitely compensating for something
Daan
- owns a bar that motorcycle gangs frequent a ton
- It’s not even branded as a biker bar, nor is he a biker, it just naturally became one bc Daan doesn’t give a fuck about appearances and treats everyone the same
- Pav flirts with him constantly purely to try and get free drinks. Daan knows this and ignores him
- Marcoh works as the bouncer there (also a biker)
Abella
- local mechanic !!!! Pav’s go to when he can’t fix his bikes himself
- Pav will drop a completely totalled bike in her workshop and tell her to fix it and Abella will tell him to get the fuck out of her shop
- She also rides a motorcycle, I’m thinking a dirt bike of some kind?
- Definitely owns atleast a few different motorbikes though
- She’s an off road girlie at heart
Karin
- Pav smashed her side window clean off in a drive by after she didn’t let him pass her the road so she’s been trying to track him down for a while now
- just wanted to say her road rage is fucking terrible, you are scared for yours and other people’s lives if she’s behind the wheel
- still a journalist, still has anger issues
O’saa
- Owns an occult shop and rips people off with stupid card readings
- magic and stuff still exists btw, albeit heavily faded, he just overprices everything
- Marina works at the shop
- O’saa hardly even runs the shop tbh, it’s mainly Marina doing it
- He’s off doing fuck knows what
Other thoughts;
Pav has a really good poker face. And Levi is autistic so he just believes everything he says, not a single shred of doubt… and Pav is like… in awe……. He knows he’s good at lying but he’s just… Confused at how fast Levi believes him.
“Can I have a 20, I ran out of money and I need gas, I’ll pay you back.”
“ok”
“…….. this is the 6th time I’ve said that.”
“You said you’ll pay me back”
Pav feels guilty for the first time in his life so he actually does pay Levi back
Pav going on and on abt how much he hates cops (he got a speeding fine) and Daan is getting sick of it so he pulls out a photo of Pav in the military. Pav turns his head and refuses to look at it. He is like totally silent and Daan keeps on trying to get him to look at it and he just turns away more and more… Don’t ask how Daan has that photo
This is how Levi finds out Pav was in the military because Pav never says anything ever abt his life
ANYWAY THERES MORE BUT I FEEL LIKE I LOOK CRAZY RANTING ABT THIS AU SO ILL STOP

I normally avoid talking about fandom or drama on my main but I think as someone who has experienced abuse I wanted to share my perspective on the “Wilbur situation” and make a slight vent post about it while also discussing my issues with how some in the community have handled this situation.
TW discussions of abuse
Disclaimer: for those that know me, I do have two exes. The ex I will be mentioning in this post is the first one. Not my most recent ex. I am on good terms with my ex girlfriend and we are good friends now. This is NOT about her. This is about the man who gave me CPTSD.
I haven’t spoken much about my experience of abuse publicly because it feels like it was something I only recently escaped, and I honestly didn’t want word getting to him about it because the idea of him contacting me again makes me want to throw up. But he doesn’t use tumblr so I feel confident I can talk about this here.
I was with an abusive man for almost 4 years of my life. About a year in I realized I was gay but I stayed because I was scared of him and I was scared he was going to hurt himself or me. Listening to Shelby talk about what was done to her reminds me so much of what happened to me. Between the neglect and the love bombing, to the “I’m stronger than you” statement and refusal to abide by safe words and even weaponizing them…not to mention his knowing she was previously assaulted and still doing the things he did…it just…felt like I was looking in a mirror. Except it was so much worse. I was lucky in the fact that most of my relationship with my abuser happened when we were in high school because I was able to escape from him. Shelby had to live in the same space as this horrible man on multiple occasions and I cannot begin to fathom how awful that must have been.
The pain and suffering she has been put through is unforgivable, and William Gold deserves every bit of backlash he has gotten. And he does not deserve to have any sort of platform anymore. But I want to specifically address some of the people who have expressed issues with Shelby and other CCs regarding the situation.
I have seen several people be upset at Shelby for “not coming out sooner” and for other CCs not coming out sooner and “not calling him out” sooner. And as a victim of abuse, it is not our jobs to placate you and tell you everything that happened to us. We have every right to process what has happened to us. It is difficult to process, difficult to admit. It took me months after I left him to finally acknowledge my ex had treated me badly, let alone that he had abused me. And I know I sure as hell would not have wanted anyone speaking FOR me about the abuse that I had endured.
There is no timeline for recovering from abuse and just because you’re pissed that you supported a monster for so long doesn’t mean you have any right to throw a hissy fit about the victim “not saying it sooner”. Grow the fuck up. Find a new musician to listen to. And support victims, always.
Anyways, fuck Wilbur Soot I hope he rots
Support Shelby, she deserves the world and more. I’m so proud of you Shelby and I stand with you.

when do you think this drop dream stuff is going to end? assuming that there's not gonna be anymore public information in the near future
I think that Dream would want to say something to mitage his friends from this it’s just a matter of what he can say.
The truth of the matter is Amanda proved nothing. She had no actual evidence of anything other than the fact that she spoke to Dream. She tried to use compliments she got after she said she turned 18 as evidence. She deleted insta dms. She said she was hesitant to tell Dream her real age so he wouldn’t stop talking to her. meaning she not only knew he thought she was an adult but kept letting him think that because she knew he was not going to talk to her otherwise. and since her refusal to share insta meta data or snap meta data we have no evidence she Ever corrected the notion let alone when.
This is a case where even in the event she was being truthful and was just you know bad at telling the truth nothing would happen. No court in the world would ever take this to be a criminal offense. At the very worst a 22 year old and a 17.9-18 year old had a short lived e-relationship that ended within like three months in April when she got a boyfriend.
Nothing to do with grooming. Nothing to do with abuse Or manipulation. She literally got a boyfriend she knew whatever it was that was going on if anything even was, was not serious to either of them. These are ridiculous allegations. Grooming is not when a cc makes a fan feel special. And we saw the messages at no point does Dream even mention his status as a youtuber. He doesn’t mention his money besides giving her a Christmas gift card something he’s done for lots of people. There are no messages of him trying to get overly personal or share anything about himself. Nothing about sex. Nothing about meeting up. Nothing more than a few compliments from when she was 18 by her own admission.
And I summarized all of this up to say none of that matters. None of that matters to these people because they never read the Instagram dms in the first place. It’s why they’re on spaces saying adults can be groomed. It’s why they’re going to keep saying this forever and ever even if Amanda were to issue an apology they were say she was paid off corrupt courts forced her etc etc. These people do not care about grooming victims. They do not care about anything other than harassing Dream

i am endlessly fascinated by Troy and Johnny’s dynamic in your rewrite so could you spare us a teensy little headcanon for them?
:)
Send me two Saints Row characters (OCs or CCs) and I’ll talk about the relationship between them
THANK YOU literally at any given moment i’m ready to talk about these two and the endless possibilities of their dynamic
i think over time a lot of stuff gets revealed between them. like post-their encounter on the bridge, once their relationship starts to heal. troy tells johnny more and more about the shit he was doing behind the scenes, the shit he was doing with anteros (tho conveniently leaving out the parts where they had a lot of sex and dated). like once johnny is actually at this point where he’s not angry at troy, i think he’d be willing to listen to his side of things. it would also help smooth things over further, because troy makes it clear just how much he was on the saints’ side from the start. and i mean, he fucking joined them for real by this point so…it’s clear where his loyalty lies.
it’d also be interesting because while i think in the early days johnny and troy had some passing respect for each other, they did not interact as much as some others. they were both people in charge, but with troy being julius’ second-in-command and johnny being more of a lieutenant who does his own thing, they didn’t spend A Lot of one-on-one time together. so they actually get a chance to really get to know each other now.
tangentially related but i also have very specific feelings on troy and aisha, of all people. i think troy was able to pull a lot of strings even before he was chief (link again to my timeline) to allow for things like longer visitations between her and johnny, as well as just making johnny’s life behind bars way easier. i mean, troy refused to testify against johnny. honestly i would’ve loved to see interaction between troy and aisha, because i know he would’ve done whatever he could’ve to make sure she was okay and to keep her safe as well.
back to the main point of this though. and this might turn into just me rambling about my characterizations of them but. whatever.
i think johnny and troy, especially by the time the srtt rewrite happens, are so, so similar. i think they’re two men who are full of guilt, who have trouble expressing things and learning to cope. i think personally johnny ignores a lot of his issues by keeping busy, usually in ways that are extremely dangerous (he even has an idle line in sr2 where he says the violence keeps his mind off aisha); meanwhile i think troy buries his issues in drugs and alcohol. and i think their ways of coping led them to very similar places. after aisha’s death and with the gnawing feeling that the saints have failed him, i feel as if johnny has the conflicting feelings of leaving the saints, or even just dying himself. similarly i think while troy struggles with the death of anteros, a death he partly blames himself for, he also does not care if what he does or takes kills him. it’s why i write that when johnny first says he should’ve killed troy, troy genuinely agrees. he doesn’t beg for his life on that bridge. but all this to say, i think that’s why after their confrontation in the srtt rewrite and going forward from there, the two would really find a solace in the other. they’ve known each other forever, and despite everything, it’s a comfort to still have the other around.

what are ppl saying about Bad leaving for a bit???
saw some posts saying like
“omg I don’t vibe with this lore bad has, he needs to stay at purgatory, he’s breaking rp!” (Most everyone has because qsmp is fun and they are all addicted)
A scattering of
“he’s bringing information that he shouldn’t know onto the qsmp” if that’s really so groundbreakingly terrible then the admins he told it to can choose to not incorporate it.
and then plenty of normal stuff. Stuff talking about how he’s so forceful and uncompromising on his team, (they prob don’t watch, because the raccoons have an amazing dynamic and there isn’t much of a use of power other than advising and direction). stuff about him refusing to learn more languages (he’s actively working on 3 according to Rurus, and is not bothered by the team mostly speaking in Spanish and Portuguese and instead saying he can just read the subtitles), and of course you never have to dig down to find personal attacks.
I really don’t understand spreading hate. Like that doesn’t click in my brain. I have ccs I dislike that I know I don’t have a good reason for, (not referring to 🟩team they do have reasons to dislike them) but I recognize this is just me not vibing so I SHUT THE FUCK UP BECAUSE I DON’T WATCH THEM AND SHOULDNT PASS JUDGEMENT.
sorry got a little upset. Like there’s just a lack of self control and decency for these people that I don’t understand.

Au!Scott question! Wann give me the rundown? I've only seen some Fanart (which looked AWESOME) but I don't even know what au stands for >< so if u wanna give me an introduction...? that'd be epic uwu
ive tried posting this like three times now and i think it just doesn’t want to let me include a clip so you’ll all have to do without sorry
ausmp = area unknown smp! it’s guqqie’s server, i don’t know too much about it beyond au!scott bc i got into it just for him like a week ago and haven’t gotten around to watching much else but the vibe i get is a sort of dsmp level vibe of “friends fucking around but also heavy lore”. nobody is fully human on this server and if you think you are? think again apparently :D <- soupforeloise didn’t like that one! scott isn’t in the server from the start and when he does join he takes the role of the main villain.
au!scott is, in cc scott’s own words, what alsmp vampire scott would have been if alsmp had been more lore heavy. he’s a demon, the ruler of hell, and also aimsey’s brother. aimsey is also a demon, but was never as good (evil) at being a demon as scott. they had too much love in their heart, they were too human in nature, so they ran away to escape both hell itself and scott - until scott shows up and finds them :) scott is just. yeah. pure evil here. he’s manipulative and specifically delights in making aimsey’s life miserable. he refuses to do manual labour and everything that he owns is stolen from another player. he’s smug and awful and violent to aimsey’s face (and later eloise’s) but to everyone else he’s the new guy :) he’s lovely and friendly and everyone loves him. nobody would ever believe aimsey - a demon who already has a reputation for causing trouble - over him, right? :) he’s here to take aimsey back to hell, but he wants to stick around a bit first. for funsies. he’s smug, manipulative, lies in every sentence he says and is entirely used to getting his own way. he’s continually learning that very few things - and people - in the overworld are fireproof. he’s immortal and, unlike aimsey, is not afraid of water… no spoilers but let’s just say there is a reason au!aimsey doesn’t like water and it is not because it’s innate to demons. so no fucking wonder he’s smug he’s basically invincible for now (in lore this will change. Outside of lore owen is really fucking mad about this and keeps insisting au!scott is actually also allergic to water)
other than lying his hobbies include manipulation, twisting other people’s words to get what he wants, redecorating other people’s homes with nether items when they’re not in and more lying and making aimsey’s life miserable and more lying. the redecorating usually involves hiding corruption in their walls. incidentally he does canonically know xornoth and has said that this is similar to what xornoth used - he doesn’t personally usually use corruption, he prefers manipulation and outright brute force, but he’s curious about its effects on overworlders. however as i said he puts it in their walls rather than like massive tentacles lol.
he has a rlly fun dynamic with owen too imo. owen is a ghost with a very inconsistent memory, and scott is very interested in him because he senses something darker in him. he keeps pushing to corrupt owen by trying to get him to steal etc but they’re both playing mind games with each other because owen is also extremely sharp and is beginning to cotton on that scott is perhaps not the honest, kind and generous man he appears to be. If youve seen the axolotl thing you know exactly what i mean i watched that at like 6am because i couldn’t sleep and my heart was in my mouth.
in conclusion i love minecraft guys that are just the worst guys imaginable and au!scott is so so very up there.

No One Notices When the First Leaf Falls (#29 Whumptober 2022)
Prompt: Sleep Deprivation | Defiance | “Better me than you”
Fandom: Star Wars- All Media Types, Star Wars - The Clone Wars (2008)
Pairing: Obi-Wan Kenobi/CC-2224 | Cody
Rating: Mature
Warnings: Turned Sith Obi-Wan
Summary: “Love can be dangerously selfish,” Obi-Wan whispered, “And my love for you was the most selfish thing I’d ever done. The idea that you wouldn’t be with me on the other side of the war, it helped me decide. I’ve had a long enough life, forty-six years is a long time. You hadn’t. Now you’ll have a very long time.”
“We could have had a long time,” Cody whispered.
“No,” Obi-Wan shook his head, “We couldn’t have. I used the last of the light left in me to save you, Cody. I’m sorry. It’s not anything that you could have helped me with. It’s why I didn’t tell you. Take care of Anakin and Ahsoka for me. They’re going to need you.”
--- Fic Under the Cut ---
“Was it worth it?”
Obi-Wan refused to look up, eyes trained on the suppression cuffs around his wrists. They were glowing with a faint blue light and at one point, Obi-Wan might have thought that fitting. These days, he just felt that it was a shame.
“You really aren’t going to say anything, General?”
“Well, I don’t think I’m your general anymore,” Obi-Wan pointed out, trying to ignore the whispers in his head.
They were impossible to ignore completely but Obi-Wan thought that there were times when he could hear things over the roar of voices in his head, things that almost reminded him of another life.
This was one of those very rare days.
“Please, Obi-Wan.”
He looked up at the desperation in Cody’s voice.
The man hadn’t changed much at all.
From the moment he’d been made Obi-Wan’s commander, he’d stood unchanging by his side—not even the passing of time able to mare his face—and Obi-Wan knew it was partly because of the way he’d been created but also because Cody had remained unflappable in a galaxy that was everchanging, evergrowing, evercrumbling.
Ever failing him.
Ever failing them.
Cody and his brothers had seen so much.
The galaxy had used them in a bid to save themselves while not sacrificing anything and they’d believed that it would work. They hadn’t realized that in a war, no one walks away unscathed, hadn’t realized that someone would have to pay, hadn’t realized that everyone would pay.
They’d sent children to war.
They’d turn peacekeepers into Generals.
They’d been so surprised that they hadn’t liked the changes.
“How do we decide what something’s worth is?” Obi-Wan asked, instead of answering the question he knew Cody was really asking.
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Cody asked, looking exhausted.
“Well we assign worth to everything,” Obi-Wan told him, “We decide that gold is worth more than silver. A peggat is worth more than a Republic credit. A planet is worth saving, more so than another. We decide that the people we’ve created are worth less than the people who’ve caused the problems that we are fighting against. Who gets to decide that? How do we decide they are correct?”
“Obi-Wan please,” Cody pleaded, “You’ve been talking in riddles for days. No one knows what you mean. No one understands what happened. How did this happen? Why?”
“I know more than you,” Obi-Wan told him, “I knew how things were going to end. Someone was going to have to pay. Better me than you, Cody. Better me than your brothers.”
“That doesn’t explain why you did it,” Cody argued, “How did this-what happened, Obi-Wan? I was with you the whole time. How did I not see this?”
“Mmm on Stewjon we have lots of trees,” Obi-Wan said, ignoring the scoff that Cody gave him, clearly frustrated by the lack of direct response from Obi-Wan.
Unfortunately, the whispers in Obi-Wan’s head were getting louder again and he didn’t have time to try to answer all of Cody’s questions. Not when he knew the answers wouldn’t be what Cody needed.
“They lose their leaves in the fall time,” Obi-Wan continued, “But…no one ever notices when the first leaf falls. It isn’t until there is hundreds on the ground that everyone looks up and realizes that the things around them are dying.”
“What does that mean?” Cody asked voice frustrated, “What does that mean, Obi-Wan? What does that have to do with Palpatine’s death? Why did you do it? What were you thinking? What- When did you fall? Why are-?”
Cody stopped as their eyes met, swallowing thickly before looking away.
“Mhm that’s what I thought,” Obi-Wan said with a snort, “You can’t even look me in the eye anymore, Cody. I don’t know why you’re here. I don’t know what answers I can give you that will possibly make you feel better.”
“I do,” Cody snapped at him, “Had you already fallen when I first met you? How long did it take if you hadn’t? Did you- did you know that you’d- the first time that we’d…?”
“Had I fallen the first time we’d had sex?” Obi-Wan mused, blinking a few times as the voices started to get louder, “No. I don’t think so. But, then again, how fallen does one have to be to fall?”
“When your eyes weren’t blue anymore! That’s how you know!” Cody bit back. “You fell, Obi-Wan! You fell and you- you killed the Chancellor and sent the- you sent the galaxy into turmoil! Why- why would you do that?”
“I didn’t do that,” Obi-Wan said, “It was already in turmoil. I was just shortening the amount of time the galaxy suffered. And as long as I was with you, my eyes were blue, Cody. Isn’t that enough for you?”
“Not if you were hiding something!” Cody shot back, “Not if you were lying the whole time!”
Obi-Wan laughed, the sound devoid of humor, “I never lied to you Cody. Even now…I love you. I will always love you. The only thing that’s changed is that you don’t love me.”
“You’re- you’re a Sith. The thing that you swore to destroy. The thing that almost destroyed the galaxy thousands of years ago. How could I- I love you?”
“Mmm you’re only lying to yourself,” Obi-Wan shook his head, “You loved me. You didn’t stop loving me because I’m a Sith. You stopped because you believe I lied to you.”
Obi-Wan gave him a soft smile, something that felt more lucid than anything he’d given to anyone in nearly two weeks.
“Please keep believing that, darling,” Obi-Wan told him, “Please believe that I lied to you. I killed the Chancellor. I have no regrets. You won’t find his body, it disappeared, through not fault of my own. You may have the video but you won’t find the body. Please have the council think about that. Why would a body dissolve after death? You might find it important. You’ll find it just as important as the information that you’ll find after my trial.”
“You-your trial!” Cody scoffed, falling to his knees in front of the transparisteel, “There is no trial. The Senate has demanded your death and there’s nothing the Jedi can do. They’ve fought it as much as they can but a- a Sith, Obi-Wan? A Sith is too dangerous to be allowed to live! That’s-that’s what they say.”
“Ah, yes,” Obi-Wan agreed, “They’re right. Much too dangerous. You must get rid of all of them. I recommend going after Dooku next.”
“Dooku is a- were you working together?” Cody asked, putting his hands against the barrier between them, “Please don’t leave things like this Obi-Wan. I want to understand.”
“I fell like the leaves,” Obi-Wan said softly, “One cell at a time until so many had fallen that one day I realized how far I was gone. It was too late by then but they sensed it. The Sith always sense these kinds of things. I didn’t have much light left in me.”
He lifted his hands so that they were covering Cody’s, “I used the last of that light to save you, dear. You didn’t deserve the life that you were given. I figured out the plot and I knew that I couldn’t let you be stuck in the middle of it. The Jedi were right about one thing.”
“Obi-Wan?” Cody asked, voice weak.
“Love can be dangerously selfish,” Obi-Wan whispered, “And my love for you was the most selfish thing I’d ever done. The idea that you wouldn’t be with me on the other side of the war, it helped me decide. I’ve had a long enough life, forty-six years is a long time. You hadn’t. Now you’ll have a very long time.”
“We could have had a long time,” Cody whispered.
“No,” Obi-Wan shook his head, “We couldn’t have. I used the last of the light left in me to save you, Cody. I’m sorry. It’s not anything that you could have helped me with. It’s why I didn’t tell you. Take care of Anakin and Ahsoka for me. They’re going to need you.”
“Obi-Wan-,” Cody started to say.
But the voices were roaring again, and Obi-Wan couldn’t hear anything over the screaming inside of his head.

Hi!!!! For your 500 followers event could I get cc!Wilbur soot with enemies to lovers and forced proximity ?? Thank you, congrats on your followers, you deserve them!!! <333
Ofc! Thank you so much <333
Pairing: CC!Wilbur Soot x Gn!Reader
Enemies to Lovers - Forced Proximity
Tumblr media
There was something about Wilbur that always pissed you off. Maybe it was how he wore glasses without needing them, or how he always had to know everything. Whatever it was, you hated him for it. And he hated you in return.
That was just how the world worked now. You were always at each other’s throats on stream, and any event with both of you was inevitably awkward. The fans were so aware of how much you hated each other that they didn’t even bother making a duo name.
���You’re going to have to try harder to get us to laugh,” Jack tells chat, waving a hand around him.
For some God-forsaken reason, Jack Manifold insisted on having you, Tommy, and Wilbur stream try not to laugh with him. In-person. At least you could mostly ignore Wilbur by focusing on the media shares.
“The thing is that we’ve all got slightly different humor types.” Wilbur tries to explain.
“We all laugh at Tommy.” You immediately counter, pleased at the chance to discredit anything he says.
“But that’s different, that’s Tommy.”
“Hey!” The boy in question exclaims. “I’m right fucking here!”
“Sorry, Tommy.” Wilbur pats him on the head, making Tommy bat his hand away.
“Fuck you!”
“Can we just watch the media shares?” Jack asks, desperately turning to you.
“Hey, I’m watching them.”
“I- that isn’t helpful.”
“I want food. Jack, what food do you have?” Tommy suddenly announces.
“You can’t just raid my food!”
“Yes I can. What food do you have? The good shit.”
Jack hesitates before answering, probably thinking about what he’s willing to let Tommy eat. “Chocolate, gummy worms, an apple, stuff like that.”
“A singular apple?” Wilbur laughs.
“I’m really healthy.”
“I want gummy worms.” Tommy leans back in his chair, slowly looking between you, Wilbur, and Jack. You’re the first one to break.
“Fine, I’ll get them for you.” You sigh, getting up and heading into Jack’s kitchen.
His kitchen is actually unfairly large. Who needs this much room to cook? Besides, it wasn’t like Jack actually did any cooking here.
Wilbur walks in while you’re searching cupboards, laughing before grabbing a cup out of one.
“Why are you here?” You ask, rolling your eyes. He always had to fucking taunt you, didn’t he?
“I’m getting water. Don’t fucking flatter yourself.”
“I’ll do what I want.”
“Fine. The gummy worms are in the pantry, by the way.”
You stand up, cheeks red. “I knew that.”
“Oh I bet you did.”
After a few minutes of rummaging in the pantry, you realize Wilbur was a fucking liar. He probably was laughing behind you right now. God, how did you fall for that?!
You turn around glaring and immediately find him. He’s leaning against the counter watching you, quietly sipping on water.
“Real funny.” You roll your eyes, something you do a lot when it comes to him.
“What?”
“They aren’t in here.”
“They should be.” He frowns, stepping into the pantry with you.
It’s not really large enough for the both of you, but you refuse to back down. Wilbur’s shoulder hits yours and you move so he can check the shelves behind you.
“Huh.”
“Yeah, dumbass. Not here.”
“I swear I saw them. Maybe they’re behind the door.”
The door opened inward for some reason, meaning it blocked a whole part of the shelves. Wilbur reaches past you to move it, accidentally shutting it.
“Great going, now it’s dark.” You sigh, knocking his hand out of the way to open the door. Some people were just dumb.
Twisting the knob, the door doesn’t budge. You step a little closer to put some weight on the door, but it still doesn’t move.
“Let me.” Wilbur puts a surprisingly gentle hand on your arm, moving you behind him.
There’s a thud as he puts weight against the door, then does it again. Even as he tries to open it your only light source remains to be the crack under the door.
“Just message Jack.” You suggest. “Clearly this isn’t working.”
“Yeah, about that. Do you have your phone?”
“…fuck.”
“You didn’t bring your phone?!” He nearly yells.
“You didn’t either!” You yell back.
“Oh my God.” There’s a thud you assume is his head hitting the door. “We’re trapped in here.”
“Great. Just wonderful.” Is your sarcastic response.
“Jack or Tommy will get suspicious after a while.”
“How long is a while though? I don’t want to be stuck in here with you for any longer than I have to.”
“Not like I want to be in here with someone who hates me either.” He snaps.
You lean backwards against a shelf, crossing your arms.
“I hate you because you hate me. And you’re also just a general dickhead.”
“Me? I’m the dickhead? Really?”
“Yeah, really.”
“You’re the one who has it out for me! Always some stupid fucking remark.”
“Please, you started it.” You scoff.
Even though there’s barely room between you two to begin with, Wilbur steps forward. He’s taller than you, so you look up and squint into the darkness to make out the vague shape of his face.
“You always poke at me first. You’re either outright mean or you hide it behind a snide remark. And everyone knows it! You hate me the same way I hate you.”
“God, do you ever shut up?” He asks.
“Not when it comes to you.”
Wilbur stays quiet for a moment. Maybe your words are sinking in. Although you retaliate just as hard as he does, his words have genuinely hurt in the past. But you’re beyond that now.
“I don’t hate you.” He finally settles on saying.
You immediately laugh. “Bullshit.”
“I don’t.”
Maybe it’s the way he says it, softer than anything you’ve ever heard him say, but you’re inclined to believe him. It makes you hesitate.
“Then why’d you start it? Why do you respond?”
Because he did ultimately start it. When you first met him, live on stream, he was a complete ass. It was that day that you became what you are today: enemies.
In the dark, you can barely make out Wilbur shaking his head. A refusal to give you his answer, an explanation you need. You need to know why. Maybe you don’t actually hate him. Maybe you’ve simply been hating him because you thought he hated you.
“Why?” You ask again. “Wilbur-“
You don’t get to finish your next sentence, because he cuts you off. Not with words, but by covering your mouth with his own.
By kissing you.
Before he can pull away you loop your arms around his neck, pulling him closer to you. Part of you knew you had always been in love with him, but the rest of you was realizing right this second.
Holy shit. You like Wilbur. How did that even happen?
“That’s why.” He breathes, pulling back slightly. “I didn’t mean to be such an ass the first day, or to fall for you. But it was easier letting you think I hated you than to tell you the truth.”
“I- I don’t even know what to say.” You admit. The kiss had genuinely frazzled you that much.
“You can tell me to shove off. Or I can kiss you again.” He suggests.
“Let’s go with the latter.”
Wilbur laughs, connecting your lips again. Of course, at that exact moment, the pantry door swings open.
“I totally forgot to warn you- what the fuck. What the fuck?!” Jack yells, stumbling back. “You two- I thought you hated each other?”
“Hi, Jack,” Wilbur smirks, pulling away from you to walk out of the pantry.
“Hi Jack.” You parrot, cheeks red.
“What. The. Fuck.”
“Amazing what some time in a pantry can do, isn’t it?” Wilbur directs his question at you, eyes sparkling like they do when he’s telling a joke. They’ve always been directed at other people, never you. But everything is changed now, isn’t it?
“Yeah. Truly amazing.”

Unknown to most people, usually because Eddie doesn’t really advertise it outside of his uncle and his bandmates. Eddie is a music virtuoso and a multi-instrumentalist. meaning, that not only is he a highly skilled music performer. he can play multiple instruments to an exceptional level if he puts his mind to it. but---he “wastes” it all on being in a metal band, hehe. eddie could be a concert pianist of violin player or he could be a grade A popstar. but those things don’t appeal to him, obviously.
his parents never acknowledged that eddie had musical potential. not even when they took him to the local dive bar with them where he’d sit in the corner and teach himself to play the old piano with little to no assistance apart from the old bartender who felt sorry for eddie with his deadbeat parents. it’s wayne who catches eddie playing the old acoustic guitar of his not long after he moved in with wayne. eddie swore he’d never played a guitar before, but he quickly picked up the chords by sound alone which kinda floored his uncle. when wayne asked eddie how he did it, eddie just shrugged, said he just fucked around til things sounded right, which is what he does with all instruments. there doesn’t appear to be method to how he does things, but clearly there is plenty going on in that big haired head of his, and he doesn’t often share it with others. while eddie’s primary instrument is the electric guitar (lead) he can also play the acoustic guitar (rhythm), piano, bass, drums, violin and the harmonica (he was bored), exceptionally well. Wayne wanted to send him to a music school on a scholarship, but Eddie refused because he didn't want to leave his band and friends or Wayne as well as be stuck in a place full of judgey rich kids.
but eddie isn’t just exceptionally talented at playing instruments and learning technique etc. he’s an exceptional when it comes to his instrumental and stage performances too! think freddie mercury or david bowie. he can deliver both the raw technical prowess as well as the raw emotion and substance that it takes to be a truly great musician, and that’s actually a tough thing to balance. but eddie was born to be a musician. not to be super corny, but the music really is just inside of him so to speak. once he and the boys get big. they’ll blow the socks off the metal scene, and where the genre was beginning to waver once CC got on to the scene, they will revive the genre singlehandedly, and inspire a new wave of horror metal-like bands. 
the drawback of being a musical genius---is that eddie can come off as being a snob at times. things which both wayne and his cc boys have to remind him about. eddie can sit a criticise a piece of bad music for hours while in the presence of someone who LOVES that song, and not realise he’s being a complete bitch. he’s just speaking technical truths. and there are often times where he openly criticises music he doesn’t like. alas, that’s just part of him. it’s part of all of us really.
