Outer Banks season 2 Official Trailer shot-by-shot rundown

A comprehensive post where I scream about analyze the entire trailer frame by frame for clues, theories, and plot. Just my own opinions and general tin foil-hatting

These are screenshots from Netflix’s trailer for Outer Banks season 2. I do not claim or own any of these.

note: this post is tagged as a long post if you wish to avoid having to scroll until your thumbs break.

“My old man used to tell me, ‘it’s best to never say you’ve hit rock bottom’.”

(Putting all of these shots together since they’re scenes we already know but-) Holy shit, okay let’s just....start off like this I guess, damn.

“'Trust me��, he said...”

Kiara looking back and forth between the boys like this really just feeds the headcanon I have that her form of grief this season is going to be her trying to hold it together for their sakes (and eventually just snapping).

JJ just looks fucking furious someone give these kids a hug? I already know this scene is going to ruin me.

“You can always go...”

JJ back working at the hotel. He looks literally so angry again in this scene I could see him self destructing at work and losing his job? (Please do not be isolating yourself you beautiful son of a bitch even though I know you’re going to).

Pope in the Twinkie (costuming wise they all are in warmer looking clothes for some of the shots, so just confirming it’s a little bit into the school year when this all takes place).

“Lower”

Big John was real big into pep talks, I see. (seriously can you imagine Big John having this conversation with like 8 year old John B after he fucking dropped his ice cream cone or some shit I shouldn’t be laughing).

I’m just-

These poor kids, I wanna know how the police all the way down in the Bahama’s knew about them?

Their calves....

“RUN!”

Are going to be so fucking jacked by the end of this season I stg.

Fuck you.

“The gold from the Royal Merchant....it’s here.”

For a while, I had thought that maybe they didn’t even make it to the Bahama’s at the front of the season and ended there (because everyone had been filming in there). But I guess they’re going to be making two trips.

If I were a bird from this POV I’d shit right on that house no questions asked.

oooooh ho hokay. Just so we’re clear. Ward Cameron not only get away with murder and about two dozen other felonies, but-

“Half a billion.”

HE STILL FINDS THE GOLD IN THE CRAIN HOUSE AND GETS TO KEEP IT?

Not the polo with the snap back, I just know this man has a playlist called Sad Boi Hours that is just Juice WRLD’s top 5 songs on Spotify and he tells his friends they wouldn’t know the underground artists he listens to.

Sh, you have lost screaming privileges. Go inside and take a nap maybe.

“John B, we are fugitives in a foreign country.”

So, previously, I was talking about how I was confused how they would still be trying to find him is everyone thought he was dead, but here the wanted poster clearly says “presumed lost at sea”. I think that will be interesting to see how the Pogues all interpret that.

Especially because they already had a memorial for John B and everything, I wonder if there will be any part of the Pogues holding out hope that they both could still be out there OUCH.

I’m going to circle back to this, but it looks like John B and Sarah are going to get separated for a little while in this man hunt, I could see my idiot himbo son trying to sacrifice himself so Sarah can get away but in reality just....stranding her.

“Promise me you won’t do anything stupid?”

Oh, sweetie....

“Well, Sarah Cameron, I do stupid things all the time without realizing it.”

The volume of his self awareness is astronomical. sir, that is your whole character summed up in your own words.

GOD, IT’S ME AGAIN. PLEASE LET THEM LEAN INTO COMPLETE HIMBO JOHN B THIS SEASON I’LL DO ANYTHING-

nyyooooOOOOOOOOOOOOM-

“Hold on!”

The complete abject terror I would feel having John Booker Routledge driving get-away and then saying the words “Hold on” while reaching fro the gear shift? The english language fails me.

Sarah, bestie, I’m so sorry.

I just wanna know-

what the plan or objective was in this situation. What was the reason for being this dramatic.

Rest in piss, bozo <3

“Ward’s still out there...”

Okay, same conversation they were having as before. I wonder what makes them decide they need to get back to the OBX for this tho.

“I can clear my name. This can all be over in one shot.”

It looks like Topper watching this but way more concerningly, correct me if I’m wrong but this 100% looks like....John B gets caught. And the DEATH PENALTY?! He did have a mug shot for the fliers in s1 and the one above but he was never brought in? Plus he just looks super dirty and dishevled in this one so I-

Jail break anyone?

I also still want to know if they’re going to go with a Topper redemption arc this season. like, does he know more than he should just from being around Rafe and his big fat mouth? Is he going to help out the Pogues even if it’s just for Sarah?

This shot just suddenly made me really sad. The thought of this all started because Big John left one last thing for his son to find, his literal life’s work. And when it all started, it was just a fun adventure John B and his best friends were going on together and having fun with. Then it all got dragged to absolute shit and turned into what it did, including the remaining 3 Pogues thinking that this treasure hunt took their two best friends away from them. And it’s nothing like Big John intended it to be.

Why my eyes wet?

Now we’re edging into what I was talking about earlier with John B and Sarah getting separated.

“If you think there is anything I wouldn’t do...”

Once again, John B is no where to be found. Also, just in case y’all didn’t already know or forgot Ward is an actual psychopath.

I believe this one of the new character, played by Jontavious Johnson (Stubbs). Based on the voice over it lowkey sounds like they’re implying Ward maybe hired Stubbs and Cleo to find and bring Sarah back. My theory would be I bet they do go to retrieve her, but she somehow convinces them that it would be more beneficial for them in the end to be on the Pogue’s side instead.

Miss Girl you gotta be keeping your head on a SWIVEL. Especially when you’re a FUGITIVE of the LAW-

“...you haven’t been paying attention.”

My guy, who are you clarifying this for?

It’s what you deserve for monologuing.

in all seriousness, the idea of them coming to face to face with Ward in Nassau after thinking they finally escaped him is genuinely terrifying.

“SARAH!”

It kind of looks like they’re either hiding their faces or covering their noses? I don’t know maybe it was from some tactic to get away from Ward.

What did I literally jsut say about yelling privileges, you unhinged mother fucker?

“I’m calling the shots now. I’m driving.”

The following progression of scenes made me actually snort-

“I can’t drive stick.”

PLEASE THE FINGER GUNS LAUNCHED ME INTO ORBIT I LOVE THEM, YOUR HONOR.

Alright, so now it looks like we’re in Charleston. This is the same scene with Heyward’s truck that got leaked from BTS (read: JJ and Kie shoulder touch).

One of the main things that stuck out to me in the following scenes which, you will see, is it lowkey looks like Pope is kind of heading up this part of the operation, or even going in alone? The following clips are just very Pope focused.

I don’t know what it means, it’s just an observation.

“John B was not the only one that Ward double-crossed.”

LIMBRY-

Bro, we have been hearing about this woman for literal months and I just have....so many questions?

Who the hell is she? How is she connected to Ward? Why is she in South Carolina instead of the OBX? How do the Pogues even learn about her and how to track her down? How is she meant to “help” them? GAH I JUST WANNA KNOOOW. I already know I don’t trust her though and no I will not be offering up supporting evidence.

Sir, that is my son please unhand him.

“I think you know what I want.”

.......no? But feel....free to explain yourself?

The print on the paper is the same one that’s on the ceiling tiles in the following scene. Obviously, with a key on it that most likely goes to the place a few shots from now.

Hell yeah, son, let’s get SLEUTHING.

“The treasure belongs to the Pogues.”

DAMN STRAIGHT.

Bestie’s I’m not going to lie, I stared at this frame for a solid 10 minuets and I have no idea what it says on there I’m sorry. Someone in the comments is welcome to enlighten us.

“We gotta find it first.”

I can’t tell if that’s just dirt or if he hurt his head? But he look GOOD right now for one thing. For another, same outfit as the one in the Twinkie from the beginning of the trailer.

Look at her. LooK AT HER! LOOK! AT! HER! I MISSED HER SO MUCH even in that damn smiley face top that continues to haunt my waking hours she is in it so much and it stresses me out for literally no good reason I’m sorry-

I could literally cry right now and I think that speaks volumes to how little we actually see him genuinely happy. Have I mentioned how much I love that red hat?

Also, probably not that important, but this is not from the same scene as the shots of Pope and Kiara were. This is from the next one-

“Woogity-woogity?”

“Give me some woogity, baby!”

Yeah, this pushed me over the fucking edge, the way that they’re actually happy and laughing? The fact that they kept woogity-woogity and made it A Thing? Yes.

I am, however, going to be intentionally ignoring what appears to be the very intentional stagingof having such an obvious space between where Kiara and Pope are sitting adn where JJ sits, even including the level they’re sitting on because I don’t have the emotional capacity to face those implications right now. Thank you for your time.

Yes yeeeeEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

GIVE ME ALL OF THE SCENES OF THEM ACTUALLY GETTING TO BE TEENAGERS AND JUST BREATHE AND LAUGH AND HAVE A GOOD TIME AND NOT BE RUNNING FOR THEIR FUCKING LIVES!!!!!!!!!!!

before Rafe comes in and literally starts shooting because they can’t breathe for more than 7 seconds but we��ll....get to that.

They refer to Sarah as a Pogue this season or I burn Netflix to the ground. Your move, Jonas.

50 bucks says John B is driving the Twinkie again for the first time since being back.

I deadass think the Pogues JUST got Sarah and John B back and they’re just having the time of their life. Kie was in her smiley face outfit when Pope was in this one a few clips ago, and I still hold to the belief that that one still they released of JJ and Kie hopping over a fence is the Pogue reunion so-

Ward? I have no idea what he’s looking at behind the wall paper and I’ll be so honest I don’t care my eyes are only seeing Pogue content right now.

“This is a map of the whole island.”

This fit, when will John B learn how to operate buttons, stay tuned for season 5. Also my previous theory of this being their reunion outfits and stuff because Pope is in the back in the same jacket as before.

The plot thickens and so has JJ’s hair, Rudy drop the shampoo brand.

Please, dear God, tell me they’re back in the sex church. For @jiaaraa sake.

Kiara, your Madison is showing.

Okay, I really did try but all I can make out is Something to the tomb begin something something.

You’re welcome.

I am no expert but I do not believe boats operate on land.

John B looks like he is in the same outfit here that is in his mug shot we saw on the TV screen so I have a sneaking suspicion this is where he gets caught.

“John B is back-”

Once again with the damn sexual tension that’s always between Barry and Rafe in every scene they do are we about to kiss right now?

“-it’s him or me.”

First of all, no.

Second of all, I’m just....so very confused about this time line this season. It kind of looks like Ward and Rafe follow and find Sarah and John B in Nassau (unless those scenes by the truck were actually back in the OBX). So did they....go to Nassau, then just come right back when they did? I’m just confused.

Put that thing back where it came from or so help me.

Literally when will you stop at this point I am begging you.

This looks like the same scene the Pogues were, ya know, literally just having a good time at so fuck me, I guess.

Yeah, no, it’s going to be a no from me, I’m just going to pretend like I’m not seeing this and moving on.

I have simply no idea what is going on here or who that is on the bike but maybe JJ? Maybe Luke even? I think that’s JJ’s bike.

The sewer scene. The SEWER SCENE-

For months sicne that tiktok leaked this damn scene has been genuinely all I could think about. So (obviously) it seems like they’re sending Kie down into the sewer to go do seomthing and things go horribly, horribly wrong.

If you haven’t seen the tiktok, essentially all it was was JJ and Pope screaming and trying to lift up the man hole cover while Kie is begging for them to hurry from inside. I’m cheating a little bit as this isn’t a shot from the trailer but this picture was posted and it’s from the same scene.

I’ll just....leave this here. Back to the trailer shots.

Nice. Also, same shirt as mugshot.

Hey, um, what?

Kiara’s car, she’s driving, I can’t tell who’s in the back seat or the front.

Holy God what is going on and how can I as an audience member put a stop to it?

So, same scene as we will see and was in the teaser but, for some reason, they’re all jumping off of a giant ass boat into the little life raft where it looks like JJ gets hurt later but don’t you worry we’re getting to that.

JJ AND KIARA WITH THE POGUE HANDSHAKE JJ AND KIARA WITH THE POGUE HANDSHAKE THEY BOTH LOOK SO DAMN GOOD AND THEIR LITTLE SMILES SPARE ME-

Cleo 🥵

I’m so excited to see her arc and what it brings this season you guys have no idea.

Please for the love of God be about to get Ward Cameron’s ass like he deserves literally punt him into jail right from Tanny Hill.

Sarah at My Druther’s with what looks like a bloody bandage on her side? Same outfit she’s wearing when they’re running from the police on the beach and she has the bandage there too so. Interesting.

Topper hugging who I’m pretty sure is Sarah, being a general douche because he’s clearly looking at John B like 😏

Clips like these serve to remind me just how many of my worldly posessions I would gladly give up to be able to punch Topper Thorton in the throat one time.

I think this is Cleo jumping off the boat with Pope after John B and Sarah.

Absolutely busting a lung at Pope’s form in this one.

John B and Sarah waiting in the life raft, still Cleo and Pope coming after them. The obvious next question is where are JJ and Kiara. The scene I’m sure you all have been waiting for is coming up and clearly takes place in the life raft as well.

So, I really think JJ and Kie get left for last, something horrible happens as they’re trying to jump (my head instantly goes to JJ maybe like pushing Kie out of the way and getting hit on the head instead or even just some accident).

And, oh my GOD a scene of him falling off the boat after it happens and Kiara diving in after him immediately, having to desperatly try to stop him from sinkingand get to the life raft holy shit-

Girl CATCH HIM?????

Because why wouldn’t this be Rafe’s fault. Part of me wonders if this isn’t related to JJ being hurt.

I am going to try and unpack this as calmly as possible because behind my computer screen I am vibrating at a frequency that could shatter glass but respectfully.

WHAT IN THE FUCK IS TIAUEWFHLAILA

Okay, so scene wise, JJ’s hit his head somehow (probably while he was jumping with Kiara) it looks like and now they’re back on the raft.

In my opinion, this is either:

A) JJ is in really, really bad condition after getting hurt in the jump and they’re not sure he’s going to make it. So this is a “Please stay with me, stay awake, please don’t die” hug OR

B) They very narrowly just avoided a deadly situation (my first thought is JJ hits his head while jumping, passes out in the water, maybe almost drowns but Kie and the others get him onto the life raft in time) and this is more of a “Oh my God, you’re okay, you’re safe now, we’re okay” hug.

I honestly lean more to the second one based on the little bit of Sarah’s face we saw in the background. To me, it almost looked like she was smiling thru tears, which, fits way more with the second option than the first.

Anyways. Moving on before I burst a lung again.

(also, before anyone comes at me, no, I’m not happy JJ is hurt, obviously.

(Once again, arrest outfits). You can still see the bandage but it looks like Sarah’s limping now too so...good Lord give the girl a break maybe?

Everything in this trailer just went to shit so fast I think I have whip lash, can we go back to the Pogues hanging out and being happy now pkease I liked those scenes.

“I get it. You guys are scared.”

“No.”

She’s cute but, uh, hello sewer scene outfits. Seems like them planning to do whatever the hell they were going to do in the sewers but the boys are starting to get cold feet as maybe they should but hind sight is 20/20 I suppose.

“It’s kind of cute.”

“I’m not scared.”

“You should’ve just led with that.”

I will never be able to express how much I adore Pogue banter and general dumbassery and I have a feeling this season will not be lacking in either department

I high key don’t think these two are actually going to be there for this scene to go down but I’ll let it slide this time because-

They do be kinda cute.

It both feels like I’ve been waiting for this damn show for 3 years and also like I just watched season 1 last month explain that to me.

Either way holy shit. I missed this dumb show and these dumb kids so much it physcially hurts and WE GET THEM BACK IN T-MINUS 16 DAYS.

Also. Where The Hell Is Wheezie Cameron And When Will She Have The Rights She Deserves.

DID SOMEONE SAY BODY LANGUAGE COMPARISON???

I heard the sweet, dulcet tones of acting meta on this post and could not resist her call, so @xcziel, @foxofninetales, this one is for you.

THE LIU CHANG DMBJ CHARACTER META: WANG CAN vs LIU SANG

So first of all lemme just say I love these bitches, and what’s interesting about Liu Chang is that he plays them on opposite ends. There’s not much he can do about the fact that, y’know, he’s the same-ass person, but there are some very distinct differences between Liu Sang and Wang Can, which we will be talking about now.

Liu Sang photo cred: @foxofninetales

Wang Can photo cred: @xcziel

Jiang Wu photo cred: me screenshotting @xia-xueyi’s Moonfall Echo subs (ep. 13)

PART ONE: BODY LINES

I’ve talked about body lines before! But now we get to look at it from the same actor in two different characters! As a recap, straight lines are strong, sturdy, confident, and straightforward; curved lines are weaker, but more interesting and more dynamic.

For example!!

We got our bitch Wang Can here!! This is our first look at this slimy man, and look! He’s like a square!!! All straight lines, all ups and downs. Him body a square!! The costume people also do a great job of boxing him up bc of the tailoring of his jacket, and the two neutral color palette. There’s no embellishments, no decor. This is a straightforward man!! He’s not hiding anything except exactly how much of a bitch he is

(Also notice that his hands are showing and in fists. This will be important in a minute.)

Next, we have our favorite boy Liu Sang, showing up for the first time (ignore the differences in angles):

Oho! He’s a curvy motherfucker!! Aside from the fact that his clothes are now tailored correctly to demonstrate his natural curves, this mans is also curving himself! His arms! Are loose! And bent!! His head and neck aren’t nearly as emphasized! And! AND!!!! His hands are in his fucjing POCKEEETTTSSS. That indicates FURTIVENESS! That indicates MYSTERY! We’re going to find some things OUT about this boy and we’re gonna like it!!!

In comparison, look at Jiang Wu:

LIU CHANG U BEAUTIFUL BITCH. He fucking BENT HIS ARM. He kept one straight and BENT THE OTHER!!! Oh joyous occasion!! We have a DYNAMIC BOY!! but not too dynamic—peep that hidden hand! Also I love this bc it was TWO DIFFERENT LIU CHANG CHARACTERS IN THE SAME SHOW!!! :D see!! Here’s Liu Sang again!

THIS IS A CONFIDENT LIU SANG!!!! He is CHANGED! He is capable of expressing emotions now! Look at just how much body language he has going on, while in comparison, Jiang Wu and Wang Can are like creepy Wood Baby Puppets. His body shape is boxy again, but that’s bc he’s the protagonist of this one. The plot hinges on him, he’s gotta be sturdy.

WHAT WE HAVE DETERMINED SO FAR:

Wang Can is straight lines, no hidden agenda (which is funny cause he’s a Bad Guy)

Liu Sang is dynamic lines and movement, and alludes to mysterious ✨secrets✨

Jiang Wu is a mix of the two and also a dumb dork (that’s not from the body language, I just think he’s funny)

PART TWO: HAIR, BABY!

Once again I owe my life to costuming people. Someday I’ll write that Mystic Nine costuming meta but today we’re focusing on Liu Chang and, specifically, his HAIR PEOPLE!!! I love them and would die for them literally

Once again, ladies and gentlemen and all my glorious they/thems, Wang Can:

OOOOOH I hate his slimy RAT FACE lemme AT EM. Ahem. Regardless, let’s take a look at this BITCH, shall we? We have: straight line face angles!! Very standard shape, BUT this is all accented by the fact that his hair is S C R A P E D back to within an inch of its life, like. Ahem. Sir. Please. Also this man’s got CONTOUR on. If u look at literally any pics/videos of Liu Chang out of character he is NOT this angular. His head is just as rectangular as his body, and the pulled back hair emphasizes his face, which is interesting as he doesn’t do a whole lot with it.

Alternatively, Liu Sang:

This is a nice boy!!! This is a nice soft boy!!! Look his face has CURVES that are emphasized by the glasses (which also draw attention to his eyes, which is good bc that’s where he does the most work, which we’ll get to later) and the HAIR!!! His hair is soft!! It’s flowy! It’s curvy! He conditions!!! This boy is approachable and will Not shoot you One Million Times with a Machine Gun. This also works with the Liu Sang Signature Ponytail, as he leaves thick-enough bang pieces out to also give the illusion of curves around his face. Also his nose and cheekbones are NOT as strongly contoured, so the angularity of his face is softened as well

WHAT WE HAVE DETERMINED SO FAR

dmbj hair and makeup people were doing the absolute most

Wang Can’s hair gives us the most access to The Face, giving him a slick, straight look, and also something else which we will discuss next

Liu Sang is Soft and Curved bc of the hair and glasses, primarily

Oh speaking of fucking which you know who else is soft??? Huang Junjie. That’s the softest man I have ever seen. His xiaoge is my favorite bc it’s perfectly believable that he’s Butter Inside based solely on his Cheeks (again, it’s the hair people doing the Lord’s work)

PART THREE: IT’S ALL IN THE FACE

The face is the actor’s best friend, and Liu Chang definitely uses his well. We know him as being sort of stoic, more on the Xiao-Ge end of things than the Wu Xie side, but if u compare Liu Sang to Wang Can, LS is going HAM with the facials.

Let’s take a look!

Fuck me UP!!!!!! Look at him!! This is one of the earlier episodes too so we haven’t even gotten to the real good stuff but!!!! Look at his eyebrows!!! Look at how wide his eyes get (once again, the glasses are jumbotroning the peepers)! Look at his unhappy lil mouth!! That’s a whole REALM of facial expression, and so early on in our journey!

Meanwhile, Fuckboy Prime:

(Pardon the garbage screencap, my laptop broke on me this week and I am Suffering)

This is at the very end of Wang Can’s time with us; he’s fighting and he’s going to die and he KNOWS it, but this bitch doesn’t even draw his eyebrows together. Mcwhomst???? Bitch u GOTTA give us more than that I’m BEGGING u

The other interesting thing about their differing facial expressions is that Liu Sang emotes mostly with his eyes, and Wang Can emotes mostly with his mouth. This is very obvious in the clip @xcziel posted, esp when he starts doing the whole gesturing-with-his-chin thing, but it’s prominent throughout.

These two screenshots were taken like fifteen seconds apart. He does a whole face journey, but only with his mouth. His eyes stay fixed; they move, sure, but they don’t get any wider or anything like that.

Liu Sang, however is always doing stuff with his eyes. For example (I couldn’t find an image of it quick enough but I know that @kholran has this gifset), the sacrifice scene where he looks up at Wu Xie with the biggest, most pleading and questioning eyes imaginable?? Kills me. The DEPTH in those bad boys. Fuck me UP.

This also checks out when we remember the glasses. Since they emphasize the eyes, we’re drawn to that part of Liu Sang’s face, so it makes sense that the majority of his expression would happen there. This is also prominent with his hearing abilities; whenever he’s trying to focus them (or get us to focus on him), he not only turns his eyes away, he SHUTS THEM, which means we as the audience know that there’s something going on underneath the surface, and really highlights the fact that this is an unusual and cool power!

With Wang Can, however, the structure of his face and absence of Hair Curves directs the eye to his mouth, so we watch that to tell what’s going on in his head. It’s all about directing the eye, and Liu Chang is very good at knowing where people are going to be looking!

SO: WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED?

Liu Sang, Wang Can, and Jiang Wu are all very distinctly characterized through their body language

The same actor becomes different characters by using their toolkit (the body) to its full potential

Hair and makeup people are Wizards

Wang Can is a Whole-Ass Ho and I do not miss him even a little bit

Liu Sang’s body dynamics change over time and I love that for him!!

I’m a giant nerd the end

#this is a long boy but I’m a nerd and enjoy drawing Arrows #liu sang #wang can #liu chang #dmbj #dmetabj #my meta #acting meta #tomb of the sea #the lost tomb reboot #moonfall echo

All of Armitage’s Looks: Rated

Well, this was inevitable, wasn’t it? Being someone who very readily admits to having Armitage’s entire wardrobe memorized (and who will not apologize for how weird that is), I feel that I’m the perfect person to make this post, although perhaps not the most objective...

So, without further ado, allow me to present to you: every single one of Armitage’s Looks in chronological order: Rated.

#1 - Enjoying The Birthday -- 11/10

Unlike most named characters, Armitage does not appear until episode 4 but oh what an entrance it is... Look at that smile!!!! Actually, take an extra good look because you’ll never see it again.

Outfit-wise, this is just his normal steward uniform but I like those boots. Probably not unique to him but they’re very nice and remind me of a pair I own.

Bonus points for being the second person on the tackle-pile, following Tozer.

(You could accuse me of rating too high right off the bat, but look at his smiling face again and tell me I’m wrong.)

#2 - “Mr. Armitage, what do you report?” -- 8/10

And thus we are introduced to Armitage by name. Appropriately, he is partaking in his most consistent character-defining activity: protecting Tozer from harm (which, in this case, is the Not-Bear which has just come out of nowhere and ripped part of Heather’s skull off).

I’m gonna be honest: I don’t like how this style of coat looks when it’s fully buttoned-up. I think it’s awkward and boxy (see Gibson’s coat in the mutiny-planning scene at the beginning of ep 7 for a better idea of what I mean) and this is before Armitage figured out the belt trick that corrects the problem so I’m deducting points for the coat.

Luckily for him though, his hat is of my favorite variety in the show so I’m delighted to see it despite it just being his uniform. Also loving our first look at his blue sweater (peeking out beyond his coat-sleeves) and his gray gloves.

Further points added for this being the first of many scenes where he carries a gun, endlessly confusing the fandom at large about what the hell his job is.

#3 - tfw You’re Responsible For This -- 5/10

So I’m just gonna come right out and say that this is one of my favorite images of him in the entire show but, just as Look #1 was rated higher due to the context of the scene despite the outfit itself being average, this one’s rating, in turn, must suffer.

Things I love about this: the hat (obviously), the fact that the coat looks worlds better just because it’s slightly unbuttoned, the delicate dusting of snow, the way his face looks at this angle.

Things I don’t love about this: literally Everything Else.

Aiding in the racist kidnapping of an innocent woman and then not owning up to it twenty minutes after your introduction is not a good look, no matter how emotionally conflicted about it you are.

#4 - Who the Fuck is This Guy? -- 6/10

October 20th, 2019 was not the day that my obsession with Armitage began, but it was the day that I took a screenshot of this exact moment because I had no idea who this man was or why we were getting a close-up of him. It would take me two more months to figure his identity out.

But, to the point, not much to say here since it’s just his normal uniform again except that this is our first proper look at his hair which I absolutely adore. Also loving the little anchor buttons on his jacket - very cute!

Once again, points deducted for the unfortunate context.

#5 - Slops! -- 7/10

This look is noteworthy for a few reasons. First of all, we see his tan slops for the first time! Slops just sort of look horrible by default unfortunately but I’m enjoying the hat + slops combo here... it works for him. Secondly, Armitage disappears for the entirety of episode 5 so this is the first time we’ve seen the man since the lashing scene. I guess it was so traumatic to witness that he had to take a break.

He has a gun again though, so things can’t be all bad.

#6 - Big Carnivale Hours -- 8/10

I have given up on trying to figure out what the hell is going on with the marines and their costume theme. Are they knights.... with crowns? That’s all I’ve been able to figure. Who’s idea was this? (Despite having no evidence, I blame Pilkington.) So what does that make Armitage? Is he a squire? Or a knight that just doesn’t have a crown like the others because they ran out of them? Whatever the case, he’s clearly a part of their theme despite not being a marine himself which I think is adorable regardless.

Speaking of adorable, let’s just forget everything that happens for the rest of this episode and appreciate how he’s hanging out with Tozer and Heather. Isn’t that nice? God I’m distressed.

Taking a look at the costume itself, you’ll see that it’s essentially a cut-up burlap sack and a sheet over his regular uniform but realism is not the goal here and the DIY vibe is actually quite nice imo.

#7 - Enter: The Belt -- 10/10

The belt has arrived on the scene! Note its success in not only making the coat itself more appealing but making the coat + slops combo work against all odds.

We really get it all here: belt, (unbuttoned) coat, hat, welsh wig, gloves, and slops! What more could I possibly ask for in an outfit? It’s both stylish and practical.

And plus, I like his attitude in this scene - optimistic-leaning realism about the dangers ahead. I can get behind that.

Overall, no complaints from me - this is a perfect look.

#8 - tfw You Allowed This -- 7/10

This is a Significant Look mostly because we see his hair again, for the first time since episode 4! It’s a bit longer and more unkempt but still maintains a pleasing shape overall. Honestly, I think it looks good this way and its a pity we didn’t get to see it more in the transition stages (assuming it was steadily growing out since ep 4 like most people’s). Additionally, there’s a bit of stubble going on here which I respect.

Rated lower than it might be simply because, as has been established, slops on their own are just kinda ugly. I don’t have a lot to work with here outfit-wise. His face is lovely but this screenshot is a sepia-toned nightmare.

A bonus point for his desperate “please explain this clearly illegal thing we’re doing in a way that makes sense to Little” glance at Tozer, who is already on it.

#9 - Agony -- 8/10

It took me awhile, even after becoming aware of who Armitage was, to appreciate how truly miserable he looks in this scene. And I mean, why wouldn’t he be miserable? Tozer, a man who Armitage risked his own life to drag to safety at Carnivale, is about to be executed for something that’s arguably just as much Armitage’s fault and there’s not a thing he can do about it.

So... that’s depressing.

But, looking at the outfit itself, we see that it’s pretty similar to some past Looks. In fact, it’s identical to what he was wearing when the Tuunbaq attacked Heather with the exception of the belt which is, of course, a new addition since then! And look at the difference a belt can make... You almost don’t notice that the coat is buttoned up all the way.

#10 - The Same Outfit But Now He’s Saving Tozer So Its Cooler -- 9/10

Y’all ever think about the fact that, when things went to shit, Armitage’s first instinct was to grab a gun, find Tozer, and rescue him? I mean you probably don’t but I do. Constantly.

Obviously I love this part and the outfit is still solid (note how well the belt shows off his figure!) but it loses out on being a perfect 10/10 because he must have dropped his hat while picking up the gun so we never see it again. A necessary sacrifice but one that I mourn nonetheless.

RIP Armitage’s cool hat, ??-1848.

#11 - The Blue Sweater -- 8/10

It’s warming up so that means we finally get a look at the lovely layers that have been hiding under Armitage’s coat. It’s important to me to bring special attention to the sweater because, although (as I’ve mentioned) he has it on all the way back in ep 4, this is one of only two scenes in the entire show where we get a proper look at it.

Further, not only is he wearing the blue sweater, but he also has a blue vest on over it! Now, I’ll admit, these aren’t exactly complimentary shades of blue but it still works for me.

Note also that the belt he had around his coat has been repurposed to aid in holding up his slops-pants over his normal pants (which are held up by the suspenders). Does this man’s resourcefulness ever cease?

As much as I’d love to give a higher rating for the blue sweater, I can’t ignore the new beard which is... it isn’t... it’s Not Great. I don’t have as much animosity towards it as I used to but I can’t pretend that I love it.

#12 - Let Us Fly These Deadly Waters! -- 9/10

I’m not sure why but I’ve always found this outfit very appealing. The tan slops-pants go nicely with the white shirt and blue vest. It’s a solid look - I’d wear this irl honestly.

And bonus points for his trying to convince Tozer to leave Hickey, even though he was ultimately unsuccessful.

(P.S. - yes, the title for this one is a Moby-Dick reference... Did you really think I would make it through this entire post without one?)

...and now, last but not least, I present to you my absolute favorite Armitage Look™... all the other times I said some other outfit was my favorite, I was lying because what I am about to show you is truly the cream of the crop. Without further ado:

#13 - Kidnapping is Bad So At Least Look Good Doing It -- 12/10

Are y’all seeing this? Are you SEEING this????? It is episode fucking 10!! Everyone is dying!!! And yet here’s Armitage waltzing up in his best outfit of the entire show. What the fuck!!!!!!!

Do I even need to explain why this is exceptional? Just look at it! Look at how the vest is buttoned up and tucked into his slops-pants! Look at the suspenders over top which match the slops-pants in color! Look at the gun and keyring that look like they were made to accessorize this outfit specifically! Heck, even his hair and beard look much better from this angle.

Now, I’m not trying to discount the fact that Armitage was absolutely miserable throughout this entire episode, and understandably so, but, even with that in mind, I can’t bring myself to rate this look any lower. It’s just That Perfect.

If one must inevitably die horribly in the arctic, this is an excellent outfit to die in.

Well, that’s that! Thank you all so much for reading and I hope you enjoyed this! I’m glad that my ridiculous opinions about Armitage’s wardrobe finally came in handy for something other than my own amusement.

#the terror amc #the terror #thomas armitage #hell yeah let's tag this nonsense!#tbh i'm very proud of this post tho #it literally did take me all day #12 hours from conception to completion (with many breaks of course!)#and worth every second!#I love this man and his exceptional fashion sense #and i need you all to appreciate it as well #like i said - i hope y'all enjoy and thanks to those who read through my rambling!#love y'all!

An Animal

Summary: After years of staying off the radar Y/N’s first misstep has everyone watching for their next move. A Peter Parker Fic

Trigger warnings: blood, death, swearing, violence, gun shots

Word Count : 1674 Part 1 / ? of The Vigilante Series based on this request

Walking at night with the chilling breeze and only a thin sweatshirt would cause any person to be freezing, but not Y/N. Y/N instead had adrenaline coursing through their veins to warm them up. The buzz from helping the people more than the police could fulfills Y/N. Each time they draw their claws to a criminal, seeing them scurry away in fear satisfied them nearly as much as saving those in need. The excitement that comes with every time they bear their claws outweighs nearly all the fear that Y/N won’t be able to save anyone in time. For once in their life, Y/N knows that what they’re doing is right. For once they understand why they are the way that they are: driven, broken, and unpredictable.

The night seemed peaceful, one like any other, when Y/N heard a gruff voice with their innate hearing, “How about you drop the backpack and empty your pockets so no one gets hurt.”

Slipping their mask over their mouth and throwing their hood on, Y/N runs to find the aggressor clad in gray, facing an all too familiar sight. Ned Leeds.

The two males are on an empty sidewalk surrounded by closed stores, and luckily under the few working street lights. Advancing towards Ned, he has got him held at gunpoint with nowhere to safely run.

Y/N slyly cuts across the street, moving with the shadows, and approaches the man from behind. Extending their claws, holding one against the man’s neck and the other against his back, Y/N growls, “How about you drop the pistol and you won’t get hurt, much.”

Freezing, the man moves to lower his weapon allowing Ned to be set free. Y/N watches as he gets away, but only seeing him start to cut through an alley before-

Bang.

The mugger had turned his gun enough to get a direct hit through Y/N’s stomach.

The shot cracks in the air causing multiple car alarms to sound. Y/N arms slack, losing their advantage, when all they can hear is ringing. The man grabs them in a headlock with a gun directly in their line of sight. But Y/n didn’t see the weapon, all they see is red. The red of blood when Y/N reaches and slices his hand clean off. The crimson of his cheeks when he sees his own hand tumble, staining the cement of the sidewalk, and hearing the clatter of his only defense. The brick red spreading upon his once clean sweatshirt as Y/N repeatedly pierces his torso even after he stopped squirming from underneath them.

Then all Y/N could see is their beige carpet splattered with scarlet when they shot their parents when Y/N was only seven years old. The berry red blanket that contrasted in the white cell the men in suits put them in. The cherry of the alarms that blared when Y/N disobeyed.

But the red faded when Y/N became aware of the pool of blood soaking through their pants. The ringing quieted once Y/N saw Ned’s mouth moving, but no sound was coming out.

“I’m sorry,” Y/N says trying to catch their breath, “can you repeat that? I completely missed it.

“I said are you okay? You got shot if you didn’t notice,” Ned remarks slowly taking steps towards Y/N.

“Oh,” they say monotonously, “I guess I did. It’s okay, I heal fast.”

As Ned comes under the glow of the yellow streetlight, the phone pointed directly at Y/N comes to view, “Ned are you really fucking recording this?” Y/N says bewildered, emotion finally seeping through their words.

“You know my name?” He asks still not putting his phone down, “Holy shit! You know my name!”

Cautiously coming towards him and retracting their claws, Y/N requests, “I do, now can you stop recording?”

“This is a livestream, I’m not recording it. Do you still want me to end it?”

“Of course you have to be live streaming,” they mumble, “yes end the fucking video.”

“This is like the second greatest thing to ever happen to me,” he admits after turning off his phone and putting it away. His eyes focused on you and never once straying to the dead body.

“Fuck, I can’t go home like this,” Y/N mutters, “Ned, can we stop by yours and can I get a change of clothes?” Gesturing to the stained outfit.

“You’re serious? No offense but, I’m not going to let in some strange murderer into my house. Even if they did save my life,” Ned explains, “my parents would kill me.”

“Ned you know me, how do you think I know your name?” Taking off the hoodie and face mask, “It’s me, Y/N.”

“Oh shit, you’re a superhero too?”

“What do you mean too? Who else would be one?”

“No, pfft – uh – I mean like to who? The little guys or something? Or are you like a Robin Hood figure?”

Sensing that he’s lying, or at least not telling the full truth, Y/N refrains from going full interrogation mode, “Yeah, sure. I guess.”

“Cool! How come I haven’t seen anything about you online? You’d think someone who acts like an animal would get more press coverage,” he says as they walk down to his apartment building.

“Don’t call me that,” Y/N growls, “I’m not an animal.”

“Oh-ho-kay,” he stretches out.

The rest of the walk is done in silence. Ned’s too scared to say anything that might set Y/N off, while Y/N tries to shake off the feeling that something isn’t right.

As they reach the building and while they wait for the elevator to come down Ned decides to break the silence, “What are we going to do about the dead body?”

“Shit! I forgot about that,” Y/N exclaims and turns back to him wide-eyed, “You have to go back and call the police.”

“What about you?”

“I’ll be fine, it’s late anyways and my foster parents won’t be awake so they won’t notice the blood anyways. If the cops ask why it took so long for you to call, say you were in shock or something,” Y/N explains rushing out of the building, “You’ll be fine and I’ll just see you at school okay?”

“Yeah okay?” Ned says confused turning back to look at them, only to see Y/N sprinting away faster than humanly possible.

Y/N couldn’t sleep that night, hell they couldn’t even sit still for more than two minutes. They’re more jittery than normal, not just because of the cups of caffeine they consumed to get through the day, since Ned’s livestream started to go viral. After years of staying off of everyone’s radar, blew up in Y/N’s face all because they let their emotions get the best of them. After years of trying to prove their powers didn’t define them, dissipated before their very eyes.

Throughout the day Y/N saw screenshot from the video too many times to count. School became unbearable since ‘the masked vigilante’ made an appearance.

“Hey guys,” Y/N says taking their seat at the lunch table.

“Hey Y/N,” Peter greets, “have you heard about the stabbing on Ingram street? What kind of monster goes off like that?”

“I don’t know, I’m pretty sure it was an act of self-defense. He did shoot them,” Y/N defends while picking at their lunch.

“I think they’re pretty dope,” MJ inputs, “they did what they felt they had to do. We can’t forget that whoever they are did save Ned’s life.”

“Thank you MJ,” Y/N says looking up from their lunch.

“All I’m saying is that a man died that night because of them. If Spider-Man was there, no one would’ve gotten hurt.”

“Yeah, but he wasn’t was he?” Y/N counters.

“Guys, come on. I think you both should just calm down and settle at the fact that both of them are great heroes okay?” Ned declares.

“Fine,” Peter says, “but if you’re calling that animal a hero then I guess Spider-Man is a villain.”

As soon as Peter called Y/N’s alter ego an animal they lost it. So without a word, Y/N just up and stormed out of the cafeteria.

Seeing the pointed look on Ned’s face, Peter asks, “Should I go after them?”

“Man, how can you not see it? Y/N-,” Ned catches himself, “Never mind, I got this.”

So Ned left the group leaving it to be just Peter and MJ.

“Hey what was that for?” Peter yelps after MJ chucks one of her baby carrots at Peter.

Scoffing, she responds, “Ned’s right you know,” before she too left Peter alone.

“I didn’t even do anything wrong!” He calls after her.

“Aye, Penis Parker!” Flash greets taking Y/N’s seat across from Peter.

Groaning he ignores Flash and eats his lunch in silence trying to figure out what he said that made Y/N so mad.

“Y/N! Wait up!” Ned yells catching them as they exit the building.

“What is it,” they say stopping, “I’m fine, I just want to go home my stomach still hurts from last night. I did get shot.”

“Are you sure that it’s not because the guy you like called you the a-word?” Ned inquires placing a hand on Y/N’s shoulder.

“Yes, I’m sure.” Y/N shakes Ned’s hand off, “I’m not even into Peter.”

“Maybe you’re right, but all I know is that you got more bothered that Peter said the a-word.”

“Wh-,”

“And how you smile extra big each time you hug Peter,” Ned interrupts.

Walking to the parking lot and hiding behind a car Y/N pulls out their suit. Well a hoodie and a mask, “I don’t want to talk about it Ned. Peter is not my biggest problem right now. Let’s just drop it for now okay?”

“Fine, but I’m not going to let it go until you admit your feelings,” Ned says.

“Deal,” they agree. “I’m just gonna bus over to Brooklyn or something where maybe somebody actually needs me.”

Seeing Ned nod, Y/N slips their mask into their pocket and grab their backpack before they head off into the streets.

A/N I hope you guys like this! This is gonna be my first multi-part series so bear with me a little haha, but I’m super excited to start this. The next couple parts will be more Peter heavy I just gotta lay the groundwork. I hope this didn’t seem too rushed, let me know what you guys think.

Mended. Chapter 14.

Hi, I really want to dye my hair pink, but I’m too afraid so I’m living vicariously through Ari.

...

Ari’s point of view

I thought about calling in to work the next morning but realized that was ridiculous. My eyes were burning when I woke up and my mouth was so dry my tongue felt like sandpaper. I forced myself to get up and pull myself together, hiding all the proof that I had a breakdown last night with makeup. As I was doing my hair, I had the sudden epiphany that it was too boring. I wanted to do something drastic and that meant changing my hair somehow because I was too young to get a piercing or a tattoo by myself, but I could buy hair dye.

I didn’t have to be at work until two this afternoon, giving me more than enough time to run to the drug store. I pulled on a pair of sandals and ran downstairs, grabbing an apple before getting in my car. I drove to the nearest city and found a Sally’s, grabbing a box of pastel pink hair dye. I was about to do something drastic and a surge of excitement coursed through me.

When I got back home, I found Freddie sitting at the bar in our kitchen and mom painting the walls. I said hi to both of them before running upstairs to my room. I changed into an old t-shirt and went into my bathroom, reading the instructions on the box. I applied the dye as it said and went to my room to wait it out, killing time before I had to wash it out.

The alarm I set on my phone went off and I hurried back into the bathroom. I got in the shower and watched the pink go down the drain as I washed it. When the water finally ran clear, I washed my body and got back out. I pulled on my work shirt before going to dry it; the color was so freakin’ pretty! I loved it and was so happy I did it!

I did my full makeup and curled my hair, giggling every time I saw the color. I was never this person, I never made spontaneous decisions; I always thought everything out. It felt really nice to not have to worry over it, just jump in and hope I float. It was also a really good distraction.

My mom did a double take when I walked downstairs. “Oh, that color looks good. It’s not the one you had last night, but it’s a good look. Are you feeling any better?”

I shrugged my shoulders and said, “I didn't want to be blond anymore, I wanted to be something different. And I haven’t really thought about the situation since I dyed my hair, and I don’t really want to right now. I’ll deal with it when I get to work and she’s there.”

She hugged me and wished me luck before sending me out into the world. My mother was always so cool about stuff like this, she never made it a big deal. The hair dye was permanent, but that didn’t mean it would be this color forever. I knew kids in school who had a different hair color every week, it faded and your natural hair made a reappearance. This would hopefully last as long as I felt the way I did and then fade when I was over it.

I sat in the parking lot staring at her car for almost five full minutes, trying to force myself to go inside. When I realized I was going to be late if I didn’t leave now, I got out and marched into the building. I wasn’t my usually bubbly self, I kept my head down and did what I was supposed it. I was on snack bar today so I filled popcorn, handed out candy, and made drinks robotically. It was crazy that just seeing her car made my mood shift so drastically, but I guess it made things real again.

Maybe I’d jumped to conclusions last night, I didn’t even really give her time to explain things. My feelings were hurt that she’d lied to me and I closed myself off immediately. Then again, she did promise to never lie to me or hurt me like Delia did. I was so in my head, I didn’t even notice her come in and let Mandi take her break.

“Hi,” she said, and I could feel her eyes on me. “I really like your hair.”

I reached up and touched it self-consciously. “Oh, thanks. I did it this morning before work.”

We went back to our jobs without talking and it was suffocating. I felt like I couldn’t get enough air, but I refused to have a panic attack in the middle of shoveling popcorn. I needed to get ahold of myself, this was getting ridiculous. I glanced at the clock on the wall and saw my break was in fifteen minutes, I could hold myself together until five o’clock.

“Hey, when’s your break?” I asked Audrey during a lull in customers. “I want to talk to you about last night.”

“It’s a five, we have the same shift today,” she replied, her voice devoid of all emotions.

Audrey didn’t like emotions, she was trying her best to completely ignore anything she was feeling. I knew how she was, but it still made my stomach fall to my knees. It felt like she wasn’t even going to fight for our relationship, she was just going to let me break it off. I knew it was selfish, but I wanted her to fight for me.

“You could at least act like you’re hurt, you know?” I whispered to her as I loaded a large popcorn container. “I’m not doing this for kicks, my heart is actually pretty fucking broken right now and you don’t even seem to care.”

She blew a breath through her nose before flashing her eyes over to me. “Are you serious? You walk away from me and then tell me I’m not feeling the way I should. You broke your own heart, Ari, and then refused to let me fix it.”

We were still talking in hushed whispers, but it felt like she was yelling. “Don’t make it seem like this is my fault! You’re the one who messed up.”

“Ladies, maybe you should take your break now,” Rob said, coming behind the counter to the two of us. “Preferably outside where customers can’t hear you.”

“Gladly,” Audrey spat, tearing off her apron and stalking away from the snack bar.

I took a deep breath and took off my apron, handing it to the girl relieving me and headed out to my car. Audrey was already leaning against the side of it, waiting for me. I unlocked the doors and the two of us got in, neither of us wanting to break the silence.

“Are you serious? You couldn’t stop yelling at me inside, but you don’t have a word to say now? That’s great, wonderful really,” I told her, a snarky laugh leaving my lips as I glared out the windshield.

“What do you want me to say, Ari? It seems like you’ve already made up your mind about me,” she replied, tossing her hands in the air. “I really like you and want to be with you, but you never let me explain myself.”

“I’m right here with thirty minutes free,” I told her, turning my body until it was facing hers with my arms crossed over my chest.

“I told you I was lonely, but it was so much more than that. Emma and I were best friends for our entire lives, she was who helped me get through my mother dying and my dad’s meltdown after it happened. Then, out of the blue, she started dating Will Belmont, a popular guy who played basketball. She became friends with all his friends who hated me, so even when she invited me to hang out with them I said no,” she explained, her eyes never leaving mine. “Then the murders started happening as soon Piper came to town, but I didn’t make the connection because I didn’t want to. I ended up reconnecting with Emma and brought Noah along, things started to feel like they used to. Then Rachel died and I felt alone again.

“If it wasn’t for Emma and Noah, I don’t know what would have happened. Then Will died and Emma felt the way I did, but we had each other to lean on,” she continued. “I swear I didn't know Piper was the one killing everyone, if I would have known, I would’ve done something.”

That was a lot to take in, but it all made sense. She was heartbreakingly lonely and I knew what that felt like. Even if I had my mom and Freddie, I felt totally by myself after Delia and I broke up. I was starting to see things like she did and guilt settled on my chest.

“I’m sorry I didn't let you explain yourself,” I told her lamely. “I’m just afraid of getting hurt again so I’m really fast to jump the gun in relationships and end them. Sort of like breaking their heart before they can break mine, even if that’s demented.”

Her hand found mine and she brought it up to her lips, pressing a kiss to the top of it reassuringly. “I’m not done, I haven’t told you the worst part yet. I hope you’re still as understanding and forgiving.”

I nodded and held her hand tighter, hopefully reassuring her that I was going to be here. I also hoped I was still going to be here after what she said. I really liked her, too, and didn’t want to break up. No matter what I told her in the heat of the moment last night.

“Piper tried to kill Emma and I was there and ended up shooting her,” she told me. “We thought everything was going to go back to normal after that, but the killings kept happening. We had another friend named Jake, he was Brooke’s boyfriend, and he was killed. The person who did it lured me into a storage container where I found his body with different screenshots of the texts I’d sent to Piper pinned to him.

“I freaked and started taking the screenshots off, hoping no one else had seen them because I was still trying so hard to keep everything a secret. I should’ve known there’d be a camera or something like that in the building, but I didn’t until the killer sent me a GIF of me taking them,” she said. “So, I ended up telling Noah what I’d done and everyone found out. For a while it was terrible and they all hated me, but eventually things worked out and we found out the other killer was actually Emma’s boyfriend.”

My heart hurt for her, she really was just continuously in the wrong place at the wrong time. I released her hand and levered my seat back as far as it would go before gesturing to her to come over. She crossed the console with only minor awkwardness and placed herself on my lap so I could wrap my arms around her middle. One of her hands held the side of my neck with her thumb rubbing over the base of my jaw affectionately.

“I’m so sorry,” I whispered, leaning forward and pressing my forehead against hers. “I am so sorry.”

She shook her head and I saw her eyes slide closed, her breathing slowed and she hummed in happiness. “It’s not your fault, I did lie to you. I swear I didn’t do it to hurt you, I just didn’t know how to tell you all of that without scaring you away.”

“I get that, but I want you to know you can tell me anything,” I replied, leaning forward and brushing my nose against hers affectionately. “I’m not going anywhere as long as you’re honest with me. You’d be amazed at what I can handle.”

To prove my point, I moved my arms from around her waist so my hands could squeeze her ass. She let out a surprised squeak that made me laugh, my head falling back against the car seat.

“You are so damn cute,” I sighed, looking at her happily. “Even if you think it’s going to hurt me, I want you to tell me the truth and I promise to do the same.”

She didn’t say anything, she just nodded her head before tilting it and pressing her lips to mine. It was a small kiss, nothing serious or intense, just sweet and content.

The weight on my chest lifted as her fingers delicately traced the lines on my face. We still had about fifteen minutes, and we were going to spend it exactly like this.

As a way of introducing my new Freedom Wars oc, Devlin. Here is information about him: Devlin “the devil”

height: 6" 1' age: 27 gender: male personality traits: cold clear-headed thick-skinned cynical wise

Likes: the sound of silence, listening to others talk, and slaughtering his enemies Dislikes: idiots, wanna-be leaders, people getting in his way, and being reminded of the past Main weapon: hyuga mk3 Gun: SR-42/Custom Thorn type: Shielding Thorn Description: He is well known for being a trustworthy ally, but only shows his trust to others that he knows he can rely on to have his back. Otherwise, he considers useless people to just be in the way. His choice with spear allows him to switch from close range to long range. If possible, depending on how crazy the battlefield can be, he can switch to his sniper rifle where he aims for the more critical points on abductors and deadly accurate head shots to get rid of human enemies faster. Only on the battlefield does he shows his true nature. Most people call him the devil instead of his actual name. His behavior on the battle field can be best described as subtle madness. Always a blank expression on his face when he slaughters his victims. Sometimes he will show an arrogant smile every now and then. Only if he is really in a good mood. After killing for so long he gets bored of the same routine, everyday feels like the same thing. He rarely talks about his past. More like he wants to forget it. He kills so much he loses track of time and what time of the year it is. His whereabouts of his sister is unknown. He has tried over the years looking for, but can only go based on rumors. He isn't even sure if she still uses the same name anymore.

[ it’s sad I have to mirror his screenshot in order to get his hair to look like how I drew him. Shame it’s not Toukiden character customization when it comes to hairstyles. ] Notes: ------- The name Devlin is a Gaelic baby name. In Gaelic the meaning of the name Devlin is: Fierce. Song of choice: Empty me - Dark Tranquillity Also a short story with him and Rey. ----------------------

"...been a while. Ruthless one... Heh." A slight grin was shown on his face, dead eyes of charocal grey glanced in the direction that Rey was coming from. Devlin and Rey had talked to each other earlier to meet up before heading out to do a mission. It's only them in this quiet wide open area, others can be seen walking on the other side. Both of them ignore the rest of the world around them, not like they care at the moment. "Still alive and kicking I see..." Rey sat down on the very edge of the bench made of concrete. There was distance between them, not even a greeting was necessary with these two. Facing away from each other, Devlin speaks up as to break the silence. "It's been a while since we've done Ops. together....it's been a year or so? I can never keep track of time anymore. Every day looks the same. Wake up, kill. Go to sleep. Kill some more the next day...y'know how it goes... heh." He chuckled to himself a little bit about what he just said. Devlin has no problem speaking his mind. People who are unfamiliar with him might consider him crazy or insane with how he talks about killing people so casually. Truth is, Rey can understand where he is coming from. That's how cruel this world is, it's the only way to survive and get by. "The thrill to kill never goes away..." Rey responds as he closes his eyes, letting a slight smile appear on his face. Devlin turns his head to look at Rey. He is silent for a moment as he stares at him with a blank expression, "...so I've heard you have a girlfriend now..." Rey's eyes widen the moment he brought that up, he didn't even bother to turn his head to face him. "Um... ...." Devlin threw his head backwards as he couldn't help bursting out in laughter from the look on Rey's face and how he had nothing to say after wards. "Hahahaha! Oh man, I rarely see that kind of reaction out of you. Hahaha.... Woo. She must be something else if she makes you react that way." Devlin has a wide grin while he rubs away the tears with his finger tips that were coming out of his eyes. Rey is not amused by Devlin's laughing. Glancing off to the side he grinds his teeth together while letting out a small growl. "......." He didn't know what to say to him, he was always bad with words, let alone not being good at conversations. Rey did notice that this is possibly the first time that he can remember, where Devlin has actually laughed out like that. He is usually seen with a bored look on his face, and that dead look in his eyes. Heartless? Some would say he is, only on the battlefield and against enemy sinners. But not entirely cruel, he is also a reliable leader. Devlin gets along with others quite well, and doesn't have a problem with helping out others if it's possible for him. That's pretty much all that Rey knows about him. Actually seeing Devlin lively is rare to Rey. Not really sure if that's a good or bad thing that he actually made this guy laugh. Devlin settles down from the laughing as he continues to glance at Rey, "Ahahaha. Oh, man. This is too funny for me. I'll be honest with yah..." He paused for a moment as his expression changed to a serious look, " Didn't expect you to land a girlfriend..." "......." Rey returns his gaze back to him. Golden yellow eyes stare back at him with a serious look on his face and assumes that Devlin is mocking him for having a girlfriend. Before Rey could respond Devlin speaks up, "....it's a good reason to keep living...especially in this world..." Rey's eyes widen a little bit and then glances off to the side. That was unexpected, kind of. Full of surprises this guy is. Rey is familiar with how Devlin is by now and how blunt he can be. He always has a reason to what he says or how he handles a situation. Closing his eyes for a bit, Rey shakes his head a little bit. Reopening his eyes, he returns his gaze back to Devlin. "...make it sound like you know from experience. You make a point..." Devlin nods to him while a serious expression remains on his face. "Heh, but I do. And my advice to you is, hold onto her as much as you can. With how cruel this world is, you never know..." "....I'm....aware." Gritting his teeth together, Rey responds to him in a serious tone of voice as he continues to stare back at Devlin. Noticing that serious expression on his face, Devlin nods to him. "Good to know. Never took you for an idiot, just so y'know.. but something to remember by." Both of them shift their bodies away from each other, as they go back to sitting relaxed in their seats. Rey realizes that Devlin is being straightforward about this topic. Based on the fact that Devlin even bothered to ask Rey about his relationship at all. Maybe he really has some kind of past experience with someone else. That's what Rey can put together just by the advice he has given him. Rey has never been the type to flat out ask somebody about their history or what is considered personal to them. This is a rare side that he ever sees of Devlin, maybe he hides it for a good reason. A few minutes pass and Devlin breaks the silence by speaking up, "...I guess it's about that time to get ready." Devlin can already see the others getting ready in the distance to his right. "Time for fun." Rey stands up from his seat and walks in the direction where they are getting ready to load up with the other members of the group. Devlin watches Rey walk past him and slowly stands up after wards. Pulling his head back, he looks up at the late afternoon sky. Thinking to himself about the past, "When was the last time I had a good laugh or a good time... seems like forever... decades..." Staring at the sky with a blank face he cracks a slight smile. "Heh..if you saw me now, you would be afraid of what your big brother has become..." His head returns to facing forward, his feet move in the direction where Rey and the others are at. Those dark gray eyes of his returned to cold eyes. "....who knows. Maybe I can learn to change, just like Rey. Only time will tell...."
