MINORS DNI

A/N: I thought this would be a good way to continue the series. I may end up doing little episodes here and there, but honestly not sure how far im gunna take this. Would love some feed back on this!

Word Count: 2500

Summary: All four of them just had gotten into a car wreck, Deans in a medical coma, Sam is all over the place, but finally, he gives her a taste of what she wants.

It has been an extremely long year. Joining the boys on a man hunt for their father John. Encountering everything they could think of. From almost dying to a wendigo, to playing guess who with a shapeshifter, bugs, a spooky dead doctor, and being reminded why people are truly just terrible. Watching Dean help an old lover, only to watch him make the same mistake Sam made just a few years ago. It was exhausting. On top the constant killing of the bad guys, Sam gave her major whiplash. There’d be moments where he would show his younger self again. Show her signs that maybe he was ready to experience all the love the two of them shared again. Only to be gone in an instant whenever the demon was brought up. Sam wanted revenge. She couldn’t blame him. Hell, if something tried to kill Sam, her dagger would be through the monster’s heart within minutes. She just felt like a second choice. A back up plan. That was until they had gotten into a wreck.

Her and Sam were sitting in the front seat. While the two of them were left uninjured, just a few cuts and bruises. Dean was in a coma. John was recovering in a separate hospital room. Sam was obviously distant. Worried and pacing back and forth between John’s room and Dean’s. She sat and kept John company. To help distract her from the possibility of potentially losing someone she called her family.

Sam had come to check up on John once again before disappearing down the hall. She was looking down at her hands. Going over the small scar that Sam had accidentally created during their first kiss. His pocketknife had slipped from his pocket where her hands were placed. Making a clean cut through her skin. John cleared his throat, making her look up at him. He smiled.

“I remember that cut,” Johns deep voice rumbled through his empty room.

“Sam was so worried you would get an infection and was so scared of getting in trouble with Hank.” He chuckled lowly.

“That boy is terrified of your father.”

She grinned at his statement. But was quickly replaced.

“He’s still in love with you kid,” sincerity was behind his voice, but it was hard to believe.

“I doubt that John.” She sighed.

“Every time he comes in here, checking on me, he’s also clocking you.” John had a grin on his face that made it seem like he was proud of Sam.

“What do you mean?” She asks.

“He’s checking up on you to make sure you don’t also randomly collapse. He’s worried enough about Dean, but if you went under? He’d freak.”

A small smile tugged at her lips. Hopefully John was right. Suddenly, Sam was at John’s room, tears brimming his eyes and he looked panicked.

“It’s Dean!” He practically yelled.

She quickly got up from her chair and rushed with Sam to Dean’s room where the machine was beeping and the doctors were trying to save him. His heart had stopped, and she could see Sam was close to ripping apart in stress. Finally, the doctors were able to save him. She dared not lay a hand on Sam. After what happened prior, she was afraid.

They both returned to John’s room. He asks questions about what happened. Reassuring Sam that things where gunna be okay. Sam twiddles with his fingers nervously. A deep sigh left his lips. There was clearly something on his mind.

“Dad?” Sam pipes up.

John grunted in response.

“It felt like Dean was there.” Sam’s eyes kept darting between her and John. Like he was a scared kid about to be ridiculed by John.

Huh?

“What are you talking about kid?” John’s attention was attracted.

“Like, Dean was there. Out of ear shot. Is that possible?” Sam was still twiddling with his thumbs.

“Anything’s possible son.” John looked at her as if to say, “Has this kid gone insane?”

Sam shook his head. Another few minutes of silence Sam stood up. His head peaked down to look at her. There was hope in his eyes.

“Can I talk to you?” Sam was nervous again. His voice quivered like he was cold.

All she could do was muster up a nod.

Getting up, she gave John a quick glance, him grinning back at her.

Sam pulls her away from John’s room. His fingers felt like hot stones on her skin. Her heart rate increased rapidly to the point she could practically hear it in her ears. Sam had pulled her away into a small little hallway. Making it seem as if he didn’t want anyone to bother them.

“You think I’m crazy,” he sighs.

“What?” She was completely confused.

“You didn’t say anything. You typically have some witty response to shoot back at me.” Sam returned to a scared puppy. That’s all he ever was. A scared puppy.

“I’m just trying to process everything right now Sam. It’s been a hell of a year.” Her voice was laced with bitterness. It was enough to make Sam cowardly.

“I know.” His eyes looked glossy as if he was getting ready to cry.

“Sammy,” she sighed.

It was like it was a repeated event of when they first “got back” together.

“It’s highly possible that Dean’s spirit is running around. I just don’t know how we would communicate with him.” Sam’s gaze softened; it was a similar look when he was thinking.

“That’s it!” Sam exclaimed. Making her jump at this sudden boom of his voice.

“What?” Again, she was lost.

“A Ouija board!” Sam was practically bouncing on his heels.

She groaned at his words.

“Sam come on. You know we don’t mess with those things! Dean would be furious!” She shook her head. She truly couldn’t believe his words.

Sam started to walk away from her. Not uttering a word.

“Where are you going!” She shouts after him.

“Keep dad company!” Sam responded.

She scoffed. Winchesters.

Instead of returning to John’s room, she heads to Dean’s. Her heart hurt seeing him hooked to all the wires. She sits in the chair next to his bed, just studying him. A long sigh left her lips and her head fell into her hands. Taking a deep breath, she began speaking. Hoping that Dean wouldn’t actually be able to hear what she had to say, even though he was right behind her in his ghostly form.

“Dean,” her voice cracked and was close to tears.

“I don’t know how much longer I can do this with Sam.” She shook her head, a few tears slipping down her cheeks.

“I love him, I love your brother so damn much, I always have,” She took another pause as footsteps approached.

Sam rounded the corner into Dean’s room, a bit taken aback that she was present. Holding a paper bag, he overall just looked confused.

“Are you okay?” He asked as he began to sit on the floor in front of Dean’s bed.

“Fine,” she was sharp with her words, and the younger Winchester flinched at her tone.

She rose from her chair, joining beside him. He pulled out the board and another groan left her lips.

“Dean is going to kill you.” He let out a small laugh and nodded in agreement.

Quickly setting up the board, he looked at her for a second. A wave of concern and sincerity washed over his eyes. His hand began to raise, but was put down almost as fast. He seemed hesitant, which has become more often these days.

“Are you sure you’re okay?” Sam's voice was sweet, laced with honey enough to get her drunk off of it, but she had to remain composure.

All she could do was muster up a nod. He sighed in response as he turned his attention towards the board.

Sam placed his fingers on the planchette, looking at her and waiting for her to do the same. She mirrorod his movements, nodding that she was ready. Sam took another deep breath.

“Dean, are you with us?” Sam asked, a few moments of silence, then the planchette started to move towards ‘yes’.

He let out an excited squeak. Which was too cute beyond words.

“What is keeping you away, is there a case?” Sam asked, and the planchette moved back to ‘yes’.

“Do you know what it is?” Sam asked.

The planchette began to move over the letters REAP.

A small ‘huh’ left Sam’s lips.

The planchette began to move again, without a question asked. Her heart rate began to increase, afraid of what Dean had in mind. The planchette moved over the letters LOVE. Both her and Sam’s heads snapped towards another. A look of confusion falling over both of them.

“What are you saying Dean?” She asked.

LOVEBIRDS.

A wave of heat rose to her cheeks. He was listening to her rant after all. Sam shuffled in his place awkwardly. It was one of the things she loved about him. He’s been awkward ever since he was a kid. Another grunt left Sam and he turned back to the planchette.

“Is the reaper after you?” Sam asked, trying to get rid of the tension.

The planchette moved back to ‘yes’.

Sam rose from his position, and began to pace back and forth.

“Sam, Dean will be fine,” she says as she rises to meet him.

“I know, I’m just worried.” He stopped pacing and his eyes raised in the way he got about when having a bright idea in his head.

“Wait! I’ll go ask Dad, stay here,” Sam says leaving the room.

Completely lost into what was going on, she sat back down in the chair next to Dean’s bed. Cursing at the old brother for the trick he pulled. Sam returned back to Dean’s room, holding John’s infamous journal in his hands. He begins reading aloud the page about reapers.

“Can I sit next to him?” Sam asks through his puppy dog eyes.

She nods, standing toe to toe to Sam. Before switching spots, Sam reaches out to her. Hesitantly grabbing her hand, and lacing his fingers with her. He gives it a tight squeeze, as if he was afraid that she was gonna slip away from him. Slowly, Sam lowers his face towards her. Panic arose in her heart. Why was he doing this now? When Dean was in a coma? Before Sam’s lips connected with hers, Dean jolted up from his drug induced coma. The two pulled apart, trying to act like nothing was about to happen.

“What happened?” Dean asked, his brows furrowed as his eyes darted between the two.

Sam looked at her pleadingly, as if to tell her not to say anything. She gives him a small grin.

“I uhm, I need to go uhm, do something really fast.” She says, darting out of the room.

Walking towards the courtyard of the hospital looking to get some fresh air, She finds a wooden bench to sit at, and takes a few moments to breathe. Thoughts were rushing through her head as tears welled in her eyes. There was no warning, Sam has such a mind of his own that it was whiplash all the time. Her heart stung at his actions. While yes, it felt like he was getting better, that he was trusting her again, leaning on her again, it just felt manufactured.

The door to the courtyard opened, and John walked out. A concerned smile tight on his face. He joins her, placing a hand on her that rested on her thigh. All of the emotions became too much. John pulled her into his side as the tears began to flow. Her sobs echoed off the brick walls. John rubs the side of her arm in the hopes of bringing comfort. After a few moments, and she was able to recollect herself, John excuses himself, explaining that he needed to go see the boys. She wasn’t able to really respond.

She takes at least a bit to gather herself and prepare to see Sam again. Walking towards the area where their rooms were, She is pushed aside by rushing nurses and a doctor. Following them back towards Dean’s room. Sam stood out in the hallway, his fingers deep in his hair. He looked up for a moment, eyes connecting with hers. His eyes were saying more than what he was able to mumble. She rushes to his side as he begins to fall apart. Catching his slumped body in attempts to help console. She was able to finally see what was going on. John laid still in the hallway, hearing them call out the time of death. She knew then that things were definitely going to change between them. Not only did she have to help pick up the pieces after Jess, but now the same with the death of his father. But it wasn’t a burden to her.

Things finally settled down and they were preparing to leave the hospital. A hunter's funeral was in the plans for John. Before leaving the hospital, Sam pulls her off into another side corridor, away from the eyes of Dean.

Within a swift movement, a hand was placed on her hip, another came up to caress her cheek. Sam applies enough pressure on her hip to push her flat against the wall. Butterflies swarmed in her stomach. She watched Sam’s eyes as they darted between her own eyes and lips. A small ‘fuck it’ fell from Sam and he crashed his lips with hers. The kiss was harmonious. His lips felt smooth like he still took care of his hygiene just how he did when they were kids. The hand that was placed on her hip came to engulf her other cheek. As he did this, Sam became more aggressive with his kiss. Their bodies became completely flushed together. He broke their contact, and dipped his head to her neck. Placing small kisses and nibbling softly, he reaches a certain spot that he knows drives her crazy. He bites down hard on that area, sucking slightly. A small gasp of pleasure escapes her lips and she could feel Sam’s hard-on bulge against her thigh. Suddenly, a small knock attracted both of their attention, only to realize it was a doctor going into a patient’s room. Looking back at each other, they held a smile. She wasn’t sure what was going through his brain. His dad just died for christ sake. But maybe he was looking for familiarity with what was unknown right now.

Dean calls out their name, making both of them sigh. Rounding the corners, Dean stops looking through the other rooms as soon as he spots them.

“Come on you too,” Dean motions towards him.

Nodding, they both begin to follow him. Sam places his hand on the little bit of her back, guiding her through the halls. Hopefully, Sammy was coming back to her.

My Top 10 Favorite Moments From Bridgerton Season 2, Episode 1: "Capital 'R' Rake"

It has officially been one year since Season 2, so please enjoy my upcoming series of posts about my favorite moments from each episode (and ignore the fact that I never finished doing this for Season 1). My favorite moments in no particular order (except maybe chronological):

10- Daphne Passes the Torch

The first Bridgerton we see this season is the previous season's lead: Daphne. And before the show cuts to the opening credits, she wishes Anthony-this season's lead-good luck on the marriage mart. It's a nice cinematic choice for the show to pass the torch on to the next Bridgerton who will fall in love. Let's hope that next season keeps it up with something similar between Anthony and Colin.

9- Bridgerton Family Dynamics

The whole family arguing outside of Eloise's door while she's getting ready is hilarious. Daphne and Anthony are ready to beat down the door and drag Eloise out. Violet has to tell Benedict to be quiet when he's listing ways Eloise might have escaped her room so that her younger daughter doesn't get any ideas. Benedict recognizes that Daphne, who loved her season, is the last person that Eloise, who hates the idea of the marriage mart, wants to see. Francesca is the calm voice of reason when she insists, "Of course [Eloise] is still in there!" and even tries to fan her in the carriage. It's moments like these when they seem like a real, chaotic family.

8- Anthony's Debutante Montage

Anthony trying and failing at the marriage mart is amazing. I feel for the poor ladies. I feel for poor Anthony. I'm mesmerized by his hair in this particular sequence for some reason?

And let's not forget that this is the return of the viscount's bum. We saw it in season 1. It returned in season 2. I wouldn't mind seeing it in season 3. He's got a great bum.

7- The Great Kanthony Race of 1814

This is the best meet cute, hands down. Anthony's returning home like a zombie, trailing behind two geese (foreshadowing!), on a dim and cloudy morning. Then, out of the mist, emerges a mystery rider: Kate Sharma. The sun finally comes out when they speak with each other and Anthony is left with a genuine smile on his face.

6- Lady Danbury Versus Newton

Lady Danbury probably already guessed she was going to have her hands full this season when she clocked Kate's mud-soaked hem, but the look she gives Newton just confirms it.

5- Kate Seeing Anthony At The Conservatory

If you had any doubts about how charmed Kate was by her short meeting with Anthony in the park, wonder no more. For someone who said she's only interested in finding a match for her sister, Kate sure is interested in Anthony. She already has quite a crush on him. Too bad Anthony ruins it by opening his mouth five minutes later.

4- Deficient Character (and Horsemanship)

Anthony and Kate meet again! Anthony is still smitten by this mystery rider and pleasantly surprised to see her again. Kate, on the other hand, has taken a disliking to him after hearing about his "requirements" for a wife. After verbally dressing him down, she leaves him in the dust and Anthony.exe quits working for a while.

3- Benedict Bridgerton Has No Chill

I've posted about this before, but if THIS is Benedict trying to be casual with a girl he likes:

then every last one of the Bridgertons will know he's in love with Sophie within ten seconds once his season comes around.

2- Eloise Putting Down Cressida

Eloise's impatient and blunt declaration that she would "rather die" than be friends with Cressida was hilarious and to the point. Sometimes dealing with bullies requires finesse. Sometimes it requires telling them to just fuck off already. Eloise chose the latter.

1- "Miss Sharma, my lord."

Anthony has decided to just marry the diamond and be done with it. And when Edwina passes his "test" with flying colors, Anthony probably thinks that everything will be smooth sailing from here. Only to find out that the sister he has to impress is the same woman from the park. And he finally has a name to put to the face.

NAUR CAUSE I LOVE UR FEZ IMAGINES!! VOULD U LIKE MAYBE DO A FEZ X LONG TERM GF OR SUMN- LIKE THEY‘VE BEEN TOGETHER SINCE HIGHSCHOOL OR IDK- AND SHE‘S LIKE SUPER CLOSE TO ASH AND ALL THAT

Backseat — fez x ash x f!reader

Warnings: spoilers from the first episode of season 2, language blah blah blah, nudity, desensitized reactions, death, drugs—you know typical things that euphoria is about lmao

A/N: why thank you 🥲 + this will probably be my last fez content until we get the next episode/more inspiration to go off of. So until then I hope you enjoy this piece. This is also written for @twdbaddie1090 who messaged me with a request revolving around the strip search scene.

⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛⊛

who knew the night before the end of the new year would amount out to this shit?

you were just getting in the house, floral coach bag slipping down to your wrist as you made your way up the stairs, exhausted. Dragging your feet, you lifted your head up just in time to see fucking Ashtray swinging a hammer that connected with Mouse’s forehead before he quickly whipped around, jumping OVER the couch and busted Mouse’s partner, Custer, right in the nose.

“What the fuck? C’mon bro!” Fez yelled as Mouse’s right-hand hollered in pain, now on his knees as he got blood all on the floor.

Your eyes flicked to Ash’s frame as he stood there, motionless, watching the young man hold his face in complete pain. Besides that, the house was pretty quiet until you cleared your throat.

Ash was ready to lunge the hammer at you but you held up a warning finger while Fez quickly turned to you.

“Damn…I thought you were working late tonight, y/n? Isn’t it holiday season?” Fez asked, glancing over at Mouse’s dead body, then back at you.

Inhaling you pulled the blow-pop from your lips waving it around in the air over the guy’s screaming, “I leave retail hell early just to come home to another gotdamn nightmare?!”

“Well, murder wasn’t exactly on my list of plans tonight, ma.” Fez glared at Ash, who was still unbothered and appeared as if he was thinking about taking Custer out behind him too.

You clapped your hands, getting both of your boy’s attention, “I don’t really care for the explanations right now! What I do know is the both of you just made this night longer for all of us.”

Fez clasped his hands in front of him, clenching his jaw as kept sending side eyes to Ash. He didn’t like you going off on him, especially when it resulted in ash’s wrong doing. Don’t get it twisted, none of you fucked with Mouse like that—even Custer but when you’re in a business as dark as this, you deal with slimes like him.

“He was going to be a problem, I eliminated it. You’re all welcome.” Ash finally said something before snapping over his shoulder, “shut the fuck up before you wake our neighbors.”

He started to walk by you while fez rubbed at his beard in disbelief. Before the young dark haired kid could fully get by you, you reached for the back collar of his shirt and dragged him back while he tried to side-swipe you.

“You’re not going anywhere until you clean this mess up.”

Ash’s dark eyes met yours as a usual frown sat in between his brows, “what would you like me to do mom?”

“I don’t like your tone,” you plucked the hammer from his hands, “start with the one you just sent back to hell.”

Ash huffed, “fine, I’ll grab the acid.”

“Acid? Whoa hol’ up can’t we just bury his ass somewhere?” Fez suggested.

You and Ash looked at him as if he had three heads. “Gotta play smarter not harder, babes. I’ll let my uncle flip know to be here ‘round midnight. And ash…make sure you drop your clothes in there too along with this hammer…im holding onto for now.”

Ash dipped his head as he left the both of your sight, most likely to head down to the storage room down at the store. You turned back to Fez who already managed to grab a drying towel from the kitchen to hand to Custer who carefully placed it on his nose.

“Your brother is a fucken psycho!” Custer yelled, before abruptly glancing by your frame to make sure he was out of earshot.

Laughing to yourself you went to the kitchen to drop your bag onto the table. Sitting down, you crossed one foot over the other plucking your trainers off with satisfaction. With the lollipop back in your mouth you shifted it around with your tongue as Fez plopped down in a chair next to you.

Raising a brow at him fez peeked over at you, “I’d give you a kiss right now but I’m kinda shook you might slice my bottom lip off with that dagger in your bag or sum, I know you be on that sick shit too.”

“That’s not on my mind but I’ll definitely add that to the list if you fuck up again.” You warned, making Fez frown at you.

“I fucked up?” Fez placed his hand against his chest and chain.

“You let the kid attack like the living room was on some temple run type shit, fez.”

Fez pulled his head back appalled but found a laugh escaping his nose at the reference, “trust me…I wasn’t expecting that either. I need to light up a j just realizing what happened.”

You hummed sitting in silence so comfortably as if there wasn’t a dead man on the coffee table and another passed out from his nose injury in the corner. Sighing you pushed off the chair as you reached forward, your nails caressing the scar beneath fez’s buzzed hair. He leaned into your touch while taking in your features while you breathed him in.

Of course you knew it wasn’t either of the boys’ fault really, Ash was just doing what he thought was right and protecting his brother. And all fez was trying to do was settle business with honesty along with whatever repercussions mouse had up his sleeve for it. You knew about the deal going down while you were at work, fez made sure to have these when you and rue weren’t around. He didn’t like how mouse had a wandering eye and knew he would put him in the dirt someday if it ever went further…ashtray just beat him to it.

“I’m in the shower, you both know what to do.” You pecked his lips, quickly stepping away before he could latch onto your wrist. You did however shove your lollipop into his ajar lips making fez flinch.

He scrunched up his nose a bit at the flavor, “really? Yo. You know I hate sour apple.”

“And I hate dead and battered people in the living room,” you whisper-yelled before continuing, “we didn’t have strawberry so deal with it.”

All fez could do was shake his head, sucking on the Lolly for a little while before he tossed it in the sink.

Early that morning when your bladder bullied you to go to the bathroom, you spotted ash also up just leaving the said room.

“Fuck,” ash lowered his fist, “I thought Gabriel from malignant was in our house for a second there, y/n.”

You ran your hands over your kinky straight hair still giving a sarcastic pose since you didn’t give a fuck. It was 3 in the morning, who did you need to be cute for right now? “Whatever, still the baddest in the room, the girl from the ring don’t even got shit on me.”

“I guess…” Ash cringed, making you kick your foot out at him in laughter.

You rested your hand against the top of his buzzed head as he made his way pass, “you doing alright?” You questioned.

He tilted his head.

“With the whole crime scene you had in the living room?” You mentioned.

He blinked, “it’s business, don’t make it a thing.”

“I know I know, you’re mr. little grown and everything. Just know I’m here—both of us if it gets to be too much, ya know?”

The slight frown that permanently sat in between his brows seemed to falter just a bit. You could tell he appreciated your concern in that moment, just a little bit.

“Alright, I’m leaving now before you decide you want to hug me or some shit.”

You clutched your chest with one hand reaching out to the boy who quickly backed away, “I LOVE YOU, SON!”

“Aight, now you’re doin’ too much. Bye, Y/N.” He shook his head at you, jogging quickly away from your hands.

Some might blame it on the fact that you were a crack baby or maybe it was just your personality that in fact, did too much. Either way that was a racist fucking myth, truth to be told but that’s another conversation for another time.

You tagged along with Fez, Ash, and Rue to meet Custer—mind you on New Year’s Eve who had to find your boys a new connect. Unfortunately you were stuck in between Rue and Custer’s girlfriend with the overly done lips, Faye. She went to whining about New Years while you were watching a vlog on your phone to getting ready to shoot up.

You learned to tune people out majority of the time but it wasn’t until Rue was nudging you and Faye throwing insults, something along the lines of rue eating the Ginger’s ass for drugs did you realize she already had the needle in her arm.

“Actually I’m the only one that has that privilege but he wasn’t into it so respectfully, shut the fuck up, bitch and do your business silently before I kick you out the car.” Was the last thing you said while Rue was beside you, laughing at your bluntness.

She was so going to ask fez about this later.

Next thing you know, both of the girls were getting yanked out of the car and you were quick to hop over the console to reach for your extra piece that was hidden in the space beside the radio on the passenger side. Once you latched onto your second blade you turned to your right, slicing the long haired blond that tried to snatch you.

You gave a good fight but there were a lot of things that weren’t easy to do in a car, believe that. You sliced, you punched, and kicked but ultimately a blow to your mouth by an elbow was enough to dim your fight just a bit. The dude even dragged you out by your jaw, knowing that your mouth was already bleeding. Why did you expect them to care? This wouldn’t shut you up however.

You spit blood at the back of his feet after he shoved you into the kitchen with everyone else.

“You okay, man?” The older tatted man asked the blond, who fanned up his hand to take a seat at a nearby table, ready to spark up and seemed not to care about the blood dripping down his exposed forearm.

You sat on your knees, cracking your neck a bit with your eyes closed as you swallowed some of the blood, then opened them to meet fez and Ash’s concerned eyes. Slightly you dipped your head to let them know you were fine, pissed off, but fine.

“You come to my muthafuckin’ house…” the man started before he sent a blow right to Custer’s already fucked up nose. You winced, whew! the plastic surgeon was going to have a field day with him, “with a fuckin’ 12 year old, two junkie whores, a bitch dressed like Donna summer, and a motherfucker I don’t know?!”

You peeked down at your outfit and shrugged, you knew you looked the fuck good. It was New Years after all and that wasn’t a insult in your book. Fuck him.

He went on and on before a woman with a soft voice beckoned him over and you let out a small yawn.

“Tired little bitch? I got something in my pants to wake you up if you want it?” The dark haired wannabe hard one said to you as he laughed at his own crude joke.

Tilting your head back you smirked at him, “touch me and you’ll taste your Vienna sausage through your slit throat real quick, bitch.”

He went to lift the butt of his gun at you and you noticed Fez itching to intervene as he cut in, “yo, better watch yourself, you got one more time—

In which he whirled right back around hearing what fez said and laughed as he glanced at the both of you, “you pressed pretty boy? Worried one of your bitches might fuck around with me instead?”

Fez gave him a look from underneath his eyelashes and clenched his fist. Before this could go left any further the guy known as Bruce Sr. Came back into the room.

“All y’all let’s get naked right fuckin’ now.” Bruce ordered and you deeply inhaled while all sorts of emotions washed over everyone else’s faces.

In that moment you tried to turn your emotions off as they dragged Ash out of the room after he was the first to attempt to get undressed, Faye tried to convince them she didn’t have any wires on considering her outfit, and the blond named Mitch? Who was giving you serious Michael Myers vibes approached you with his gun, yanking you up by your faux fur coat.

You’ve been violated before and knew this type of shit came with the territory. Fez kept trying to catch your eyes as if to give you some sort of comfort—since it was obvious none of you were getting out of this.

The meth-head was in your face, forehead pressed to your cheek, “hurry up, get your ass in the nude.”

“I’m wearing a romper dress, can’t just rip it off dumbass.” You muttered, letting your fur coat fall to the floor.

He breathed on, “how about I use your knife on you like you used on me to get it off for us then, huh?”

“And like I said to your brother over there, if you touch me it’s going to be a problem. I promise you.” You warned, meeting his dead eyes.

He held your stare and laughed at you, stepping back to get a good look at you. Of course the two sleazy men in the room would get off by seeing the only other girls in the room like this. You just wished you could get your hands on your dagger, it would only take you minutes to handle but you didn’t want to screw this up for fez and ash.

Thankfully you were able to keep your panties on which consisted of a high-cut thong and your top half in pasties so you weren’t completely in the nude but you might as well be. Your eyes burned into the blond who circled around you which made your skin crawl in pure disgust.

You felt your fingers twitching but you seemed to brush off of his eyes the minute Bruce Sr. Dragged rue away from both you and Fez’s sight. She still had her clothes on and you knew that would piss fez off later simply because he cared.

This further didn’t sit right with you when you heard the shower running and the man faintly screaming at rue. Again, your fingers twitched as you kept shooting looks at a very naked fez who carefully shook his head at you.

Basically, ‘don’t do any dumb shit, y/n.’

You exhaled through your nose twisting your neck around, counting the seconds until he brought rue back. When he did she looked okay, drenched but okay nonetheless.

Finally or rather supposedly, the new connect that Custer wanted Fez to meet, granted you all with her presence as she eyed you all; a little confused.

“Where’s mouse?“ she asked after Custer introduced her to fez.

‘Dead as he should be.’ You thought to yourself with a minor shrug.

Fez said his peace to the woman who agreed to have a conversation with him privately. You watched his surroundings as he slipped on his drawers, then left the room and began reaching for your lavender coat.

Mitch pointed his gun down at the coat blocking you from grabbing it, “uh, who said to get dressed?”

“Your mommy did when she walked out of the room, dummy. Pay attention.” You shoved the gun away as he glared at you.

“I should put a bullet in you.” He warned.

You raised your brows holding your hands out as you gave a twirl, “let me know when you find a empty spot, asshole.”

And that’s when his eyes scanned the markings on your body. He turned to the brunette boy in the room, “bitch is crazy.”

“And y’all aren’t as hard as you think. Leave us all alone while the big bosses have a conversation, think you can do that?” You asked while Faye smirked at them.

Snatching your coat off the ground, you shoved the blond out of your way to place it on the counter before you grabbed your romper corset dress.

“…And the diva?” Laurie had her eyes on you as fez briefly looked over at you, snapping at the two boys with guns in the room.

Fez puffed out a laugh, “that’s all love right there. My whole heart. Keeps us all in check.”

Laurie noticed the twinkle in the ginger’s blue eyes, “it’s a given with women like us, remember that. Keep her close.”

“Heard you.”

And with that, the deal was sealed with two stacks and a suitcase full of drugs.

“What was the fucking dude with the long hair and the fucking gun? What was his deal?” Rue was the only one rambling in the car behind fez in the backseat, “that was a fucking look wasn’t it? He seemed infatuated with you, y/n. I’m just sayin’!”

Keeping your arms folded in front of you, you rested your head against the headrest as you mumbled, “if I wanted to date a meth-head he still wouldn’t be my first choice.”

Rue laughed, “ooo sis, I completely understand. I wouldn’t want that either if you know—

“And that lady? Let me tell you, she’s fucking gangster!” She continued, “they all work for her.”

Everyone in the car was just waiting for the girl to be quiet at this point but she wasn’t taking the hint.

“Aye, why you actin’ like that shit was fun, rue?” Fez drawled with anger in his voice, “for real you’re pissin’ me off. Actin’ dumb as fuck right now! Goddamn, all smilin’ and laughin’ n shit.”

Turning your eyes into slits you could clearly see rue doing just that with her face slightly turned towards the window. You reached over and poked her ribs which evoked a slap box fight between the two of you.

“AYE!” Fez called out sitting up straight in his laid back seat, “and don’t get me started on your ass, y/n.”

Scrunching up your face you asked, “started on who? What did I do? Please tell me, I like to tussle.”

“That mouth. I told you that before,” Fez glared back at you before switching lanes then turning back around leaving ash to smugly smile at you and you were ready to give him a slap too, “and both of you combined? Actin’ stupid and fucking around.”

“Sorry!” Rue called out around her laughs.

You popped your lips reaching for your fallen purse in search of your lipgloss, “I ain’t apologizing for shit. I feel like I didn’t do anything wrong. And I don’t have to take no dude’s shit, especially from two idiots with guns that probably can’t even count to ten.”

Rue and Ash both snorted at that but that just made Fez tighten his hold on the steering wheel. He turned the radio back on, hoping rue wouldn’t sing along this time but he needed to calm down dealing with you two.

“Question, are we still going to the party?” Rue wondered.

Fez gritted, “be quiet, yo.”

Which led you all to the New Year’s Eve party of the night. Most of you all went your separate ways for a little while, you were doing most of the mingling chatting with randoms to hanging out with Jules and Kat for a few moments until Jules kept asking about rue and you rightfully so had to slide. You passed Maddy banging on the bathroom door and headed out to the dance floor for awhile with your new drink.

Sooner than later you found yourself right next to fez, legs thrown over his lap as he smoked one.

“My feet hurt.” You whined pressed your head into his side.

“Nothing to do wit me, I told you not to wear those bratz looking shoes.” He replied, resting his large hand against the bottom half of your leg.

You rolled your eyes pulling your head back, “don’t be mean, you had no issue when I modeled them for you the other day.”

“That’s because my mind was envisioning the bigger picture,” he laughed to himself while you took your fingers and lightly mushed his head back.

Humming you placed your head on his shoulder finding yourself comfortable as ever. Fez was usually always like this at parties, if he wasn’t talking business he was lounging and smoking. You couldn’t get him out on the dance floor but he would take a lap dance if you gave him one. However the course of events tonight didn’t bother you that much if fez just wanted to chill (for right now) so you rested comfortably beside him.

“We made your blood pressure go up tonight huh?” A grin was playing on your lips.

Annoyance wiped over fez’s features again, “we don’t even got to go back there, ma. We’re enjoying the party.”

“Alright fine, I still wasn’t saying sorry anyways.” You lightly argued, rolling your neck but not moving it from his shoulder.

“Take your stubborn ass to sleep, bro. Look at you sleepy at a New Year’s Eve party, what you say to me the other day about the sweater online I wanted to cop? It’s giving senior citizen.” He mocked your voice making you bust out laughing.

You lifted your head once more, “kiss me awake then, grandpa.”

He thought about denying it and telling you to wait but he had other plans when the clock struck twelve. And so he gave you what you wanted with a kiss to your forehead first then another one to your lips.

SEASON 1 || EPISODE 1: It Takes A Certain Amount Of Guts To Go To A Reunion

After what seemed to be the longest drive ever, you finally arrived outside your dorm at InterHigh University. Both you and Momoi began unloading your boxes and bags from the car and into a cart you could use to carry all your things. After the final bag had been moved to the basket, you sighed as you began to roll it towards the dormitory. You turned behind you to see a tearful Momoi and her parents hugging tightly and sniffling as they said their farewells. You were used to seeing happy families that were not your own but something about watching this scene play out in front of you struck a deep place that you had long forgotten. “Ready to go inside?” Momoi now stood beside you as you snapped back into reality.

“Yeah, let’s go,” you energetically said, pushing down those other foreign emotions to focus on your new life ahead.

As you moved through the halls, you saw parents and new students alike funneling in and out of rooms, rummaging through boxes, and setting up dorm rooms. You and Momoi stood in awe as you looked at the open middle part of the dorm and its tall ceilings that stretched high into the air. A large common space sprawled across the lowest floor, the stairs and elevator aligned directly past the living area. You and Momoi made your way to the reception desk to find what room you were going to be assigned. Thankfully, you two were rooming together on the 9 floor although you’d have to room with two other people. You mentally sighed at the fact that your dorm was probably going to be small since there’d be 4 girls cramped inside; just your luck. But instead, as you and Momoi finally arrived at your room, you were met with a large two-level living room that had windows sprawling from bottom to top, a kitchen, and 4 rooms, 2 upstairs on each side and 2 on the bottom level. You stood at the entrance in shock at how nice the room was as Momoi squealed in excitement, immediately going up to the window and watching the incredible view of the ever-busy campus. As you wheeled in your cart further into the room, you and Momoi turned to hear a door open and a short, brown-haired girl came out of the bottom left door.

“Oh hello,” you greeted kindly as you slightly waved to the girl.

“Oh you two must be the other roommates! I was wondering when you guys would get here,” she beamed as she came up to you and Momoi. “Im Riko Aida but you can just call me Riko, it’s a pleasure to meet you,” she said as she hugged both of you.

“I’m Y/N L/N and this is Satsuki Momoi, but you can just call us Y/N and Momoi '' you smiled back at her. As you all began to chat, you were interrupted by the sound of another door opening right above Riko’s door on the top floor. Out stumbled a blonde girl rubbing her eyes as she then put on her pink glasses.

“Could you guys be any louder? I was trying to take a nap”, she yawned as she leaned her torso over the railing.

Chuckling Riko looks from the blonde woman back to the two of you, “Guys, this is Alexandra Garcia,” Riko introduced her.

“Call me Alex,” she yelled as she descended the stairs.

“Oh I forgot, since you guys just got here how would you like Alex and I to give you a tour?” Riko said as she slung her arm over Alex’s shoulder. “We’ve been here for a couple of days since Alex came all the way from America and because I just wanted to get here ASAP so we know a bit about this place”, you and Momoi both nodded excitedly as all four of you walked out of the dorm room.

“As you guys have probably seen, this is our dorm. On the floor above us is the rooftop garden and mini cafe that’s open on the weekends,” she explained as you made your way down to the lobby floor. “Floors 2-9 are all dorm rooms ranging from singles, doubles, triples, and quadruple dorm rooms. On this floor, you have the reception desk, lounging area, bulletin board, and a 24-hour mini general store for anything you may need. This building is also secure so only people with an IHU card can get in''. You all made your way out of the tall building and down the street to get to the quad. “Surrounding the quad you have all these academic buildings for many different majors and you have our IHU merch store and admissions building just behind our wildcat mascot sculpture. Beyond that,” she further explained as you all moved along, “You have the sports training facilities that house any and all athlete needs, especially for our esteemed basketball team”. “Speaking of basketball,” Riko said as you all moved towards a somewhat quieter part of campus, “There are 9 popular fraternities on this road, Wildcat Drive. They’re all pretty large and a lot of the guys who are in them are actually on the basketball teams here. There’s Seirin, Rakuzan, Yosen, Too, Shutoku, Kaijo, Kirisaki Daiichi, Fukuda Sogo, and the Jabberwock fraternities, although you should try your best to stay away from the last three, they’re bad news from what I hear,” although that warning fell upon deaf ears as Momoi was distracting you when she was whispering about how Kuroko had mentioned he joined the Seirin frat. “I happen to have some friends in the Seirin fraternity so since they’re the closest let's go say hi,” Riko smiled as you all followed her to a building slightly smaller than yours but still modern looking, decorated with a red and white exterior and banners sprawled across the doors and windows.

Though you expected the inside to be just as gaudy as the outside, you were surprised to see a relatively tidy space that was like your dorm if it looked like a sports fanatic’s man cave.

“Y/N…?” a small voice said as you whipped your head around to see none other than Tetsuya Kurkoro standing behind you.

“KUROKO?!,” You slightly screamed in surprise as the phantom 6th man let out a small laugh, “Jeez you would've thought that I would’ve gotten used to you popping up randomly but I guess it’s been too long,” you smiled as you brought him in for a hug. Finally, you were reunited with the other piece of your past, other than Momoi, that had brought you back to your normal self.

“It has been a while, I’m glad you're here,” he said softly as he turned also towards Momoi who immediately tackled him in a hug.

“Tetsu~” she beamed as she swayed him back and forth, “It’s been so long”.

“Momoi, I literally saw you a couple weeks ago,” he smiled, “Also could you let me go I think you’re about to break my ribs,” he deadpanned as she quickly let him go. “Have you guys settled into your dorm yet?” he asked as he straightened himself out.

“Actually we barely got into the dorm before our other roommates took us for a tour,” you said pointing to Riko and Alex who waved back to Kuroko.

“But you should totally come visit us when we’re all finished decorating~” Momoi also smiled back at Kuroko. Just before Kuroko could open his mouth again, you all turned when a deep voice cut through the conversation.

“Kuroko, these your friends?” asked the tall red-haired boy with a black t-shirt and a chain on.

“Yeah they are,” Kuroko’s voice seemed even smaller to you after hearing this other dudes voice, “Guys, this is Taiga Kagami, he’s a member of Seirin and he’s my roommate,” Kuroko said as he now looked at Kagami's face which was plastered with fear.

“ALEX?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE I THOUGHT YOU WERE IN THE US?” he pointed and yelled at the blonde-haired girl who had a smug look on her face.

“Well, you thought wrong~ I actually go to this school” she teased as Kagami still looked shocked.

“You know her Kagami?” questioned Kuroko.

“Yeah me and her used to go to school together when I was living in America for a bit…she helped me a lot with my basketball training,” he sighed as he wiped his face.

“Kagami quit making so much fucking noise” one voice said from the hall.

“Hyuga you don’t have to curse at him”, another challenged as the two voices appeared next to the group.

“Sorry captain,” Kagami reluctantly submitted as he lowered his head.

“So sorry you had to hear that, I’m Teppei Kiyoshi and over there is Junpei Hyuga,” Kiyoshi bowed slightly in repentance, “I promise he’s not usually this mean, he’s just a little stressed trying to get all the members in check and ready for the new year”.

“It’s no problem at all, really, I understand it’s a pretty stressful time for everyone,” you reassured as you smiled at Kiyoshi.

“Well since you’ve already introduced yourselves that makes my job a lot easier,” Riko finally chimed in, “Well Y/N, Momoi, Alex, Kiyoshi and Hyuga were the friends I was coming to see. We all go way back, sophomore year of highschool I believe” she reminisced as she presented her friends as they both warmly smiled again. You all then got time to reconnect and talk with each other as you all sat in the lounge area. Some of them may have been loud and a little weird…and vulgar but they managed to put a genuine smile on your face.

It wasn’t until at night, when you were all back in your respective dorms, laying on your bed did you have time to reflect. The joy that you felt today was unlike anything you had felt in a while, it was addicting and you had to hold onto it. Today, if anything, showed that the past didn’t have to burden you and you could fully be who you were once again. Getting up from the bed, you walked over to your personal items box and took out a printed family photo similar to the one that hung in your house and grabbed the lighter you used to light some candles earlier to make your room smell better. You hovered it over a trash can, the click of the lighter the only noise filling the room. Just as you brought the flame closer to the photo, you heard a knock on the door and quickly placed the photo under your bed and the lighter on the dresser and opened the door. It was Momoi, all dressed in a sweatshirt, leggings, and sunglasses that looked stupid on her now that it was night.

“Y/N sorry I know it’s late but you have to come with me,” she said handing you another pair of sunglasses and you took them, “Earlier, Kuroko told me that the Generation of Miracles were all summoned to meet up and yeah, we weren’t invited, but we still grew with the team in highschool so I’m planning on spying in on them,” she whispered even though both Riko and Alex were already fast asleep.

“I don’t know…I haven’t seen anyone other than Kuroko and you since our time at Teiko,” you hesitantly said as you fidgeted with the glasses.

Momoi grinned, “Don’t worry we won’t get caught, I just want to see everyone together again don’t you?” she smugly questioned as she leaned closer to you to which you reluctantly sighed.

“Fine, I’ll go, I’m just hoping we don't get caught,” you trailed on as you and Momoi quietly moved down the stairs and out the door to the meeting spot.

Upon arriving at the stairs leading up to one of the entrances of the sports facility, you and Momoi ducked behind some greenery, but not before seeing all the Generation of Miracles present. Seijuro Akashi stood proudly at the top of the steps as the others surrounded the bottom. “Isn’t this nice,” Akashi cut through the silence, “All of the Generation of Miracles reunited at last,” he smirked as he looked down at the rest of them with his intimidating stare. Even from where you and Momoi were, you both felt this wave of anxiety wash over you as you heard his voice. However, you were surprised to finally hear a familiar voice begin to speak.

“Cut the chit-chat Akashi. I don't want to be here all night. Why did you call us here?” lazily questioned Daiki Aomine as he rubbed his temple in annoyance.

Akashi simply smiled, “I will, but why don’t we invite the other two missing members that are hiding over there to come and join us,” his heterochromatic eyes trained on the exact spot you and Momoi were hiding which sent a shiver through both of your spines.

Slowly, Momoi got up, taking off her glasses and hood as she awkwardly laughed, “I guess we weren’t being as sneaky as we thought we were”. Even more nervously, you rose from your spot, also taking off your glasses, only to be met with some wide eyes from the others.

“Y/N-cchi…?” Kise said in shock as a smile broke onto his face. Stepping out of the bushes, he met you and hugged you to which you also patted him back. “We haven’t heard from you since the end of our season Senior year, how’ve you been?” he excitedly asked.

Trying to ignore the obvious stares from around you, you smiled back, “I’ve been good, I’ve just been…really busy since then,” you trailed off after Aomine interrupted again.

“Satsuki, why’d you both come, you weren’t invited,” he somewhat scolded as he looked you in the eyes and you gave him a small smirk back. He’s always been a “tough love” kinda person so, as rude as his sentence was, you could tell that he was somewhat glad but worried that you two were there. “It’s good to know he hasn’t changed,” you thought.

“Well, we are both as much a part of Teiko’s dream team as the rest of you so we had to come,” Momoi retorted, which earned her an eye roll from Aomine.

“Sorry to ruin your reunion of sorts but as Aomine said we don’t have all night,” Shintaro Midorima broke through the conversation. “Akashi, what is this meeting about”?

“Very well,” Akashi said as he began. “As you all know, InterHigh University’s basketball program is like no other. Each year, each fraternity team battles in the IHU Basketball Championship to pick the top team to become a part of the illustrious “Elite Team”. Valuable players from other losing teams can also be picked but since a strict committee decides who is fit, it is almost next to impossible for that to happen. From having known you all for so long, I can obviously tell that each of you and your fraternities have a drive to become that team”.

“That being said,” suddenly the mood shifted, you couldn’t put your finger on what happened but it wasn’t good, “we are all fully aware that we are not a team anymore and because of that, I expect no mercy to be shown on the court. Don’t become too complacent as you are now, because even giving anyone an inch of room will cause them to infiltrate your mind and crush you completely,” suddenly, you looked to your side and he was somehow right at the bottom of the steps, his eyes still piercing through your souls, “So let’s have a good game” he smiled.

“Tch,” Aomine grumbled as he turned to walk away, “If that’s all you needed to say, I’m leaving,” he began to walk off as Momoi instinctively went as well to catch up to him and check up on him. Kise interrupted your thoughts as he put his hand on your shoulder, reassuring you as he also walked off towards his dorm. You stood there as Midorima also walked off, leaving you standing as Atsushi Murasakibara towered and glowered over you.

“Hi Murasakibara, it’s nice to see you again,” even though you were still shocked at what just happened, you mustered up a small smile and greeted him. He coldly looked at you as if you were an ant, slightly brushing past you before he stopped to say something.

“Don’t get it twisted, we are not friends so don’t act like we are,” he stated, “Do me a favor and just stay the hell outta my way,” he finished as he walked past you, probably going to find a late night snack before heading to bed. However, you stood there in utter disbelief as you fought the urge to make him pay for his abnormally harsh words. Even Kuroko, who hadn’t said a word this whole time, was about to call Murasakibara back to apologize until he felt a hand rest on his shoulder.

“Leave him be, Kuroko,” ordered Akashi as the upset light blue-haired boy calmed down slightly. “Y/N,” Akashi said as you snapped your attention towards him to which he smiled back, “I apologize on behalf of Atsushi’s cruel words. But rest assured that no one else harbors such feelings for you. You are an important part of us, “ he reassured which helped you calm down a bit before he continued. “The Generation of Miracles, Momoi, and you are all connected by this inseparable and sacred bond that can’t be broken. Like tonight, when we all gathered, I could feel our connections grow deeper with each other to the point where as of now they can't be untangled. We may be separated for now but I know that we will all meet again on the Elite Team,” the look in his eye seemed unhinged as he grabbed your shoulders and pulled you ever so slightly closer, “As long as I’ve known you since childhood, our strings of fate have always been the most tangled out of anyone. That’s why you must promise us, promise me, that you won't be swayed by other teams as we are seperated and continue to only support us”, your face was covered with confusion and fear as Akashi’s heterochromatic eyes bore into your E/C ones, hypnotizing you into responding to his odd request. Before you could say anything, Kuroko stepped in and pulled you away from Akashi whose emotions then wiped from his face.

“You can’t force her to be yours, Akashi, regardless of your pasts or not. She’s her own person, she can choose who she supports and who she doesn’t, it’s not for you to decide,” he firmly said looking back at the pink-haired boy whose eyes were wide and surprised, almost as if he himself realized how crazy he sounded for a split second, like the other Seijuro Akashi peeked through.

Kuroko began to walk you back as you left Akashi back on the steps. You were nervous, and the reason, unbeknownst to Kuroko, was because the last time Akashi acted similar to this in the past was when everything started to go downhill.

Seb's heavy swallow after Carlos shouts at him makes me so sad

"I never learned how to lie but I figure if I keep my mouth closed, I can't tell the truth" *nods and smiles at Nini when she asks*

why are they casually standing up all over the pizza shop, just sit at a big table and talk instead of blocking passageways and blocking off at least 6 tables-

is that why Ashlyn was holding up the drill in episode 8 orrrr 🤠

Lily, leave him alone please

she's literally not blinking, is that what makes her creepy?

the diss at big red and his face afterwards is priceless

isn't that similar to what Gina's mom said to her in season 1? hmmmm

but seriously please don't try to redeem lily, let us have a character to hate, or to love because they're evil.

not everyone's a good guy.

"im not liked here and I don't know what to do"

let antoine finish his salad and it'll fix everything

"hug emoji" *gags*

y'all realize Lily's literally 14?

why is she calling a 16/17 year old from another school for personal advice-

"he gets weird around tools"

I shouldn't be laughing so hard

"deja vu maybe?" awkward silence

I'm dying here I love EJ so so so so much

"where's seb"

*cuts to seb being held hostage hoping that they'd notice he's missing and go look for him*

"don't ask"

"oh ok"

"100% real faux fur" as you should queen

Kourtney is singlehandedly saving the entire show.

Seb making finger guns make me happier than it should

why is this kinda making me want to have a co-ed sleepover with my non-existent theatre friends

YES YOU DO NEED TO TALK/SING TO SEB CARLOS THANK YOU FOR KNOWING THAT

wait what-

you haven't talked to him all WEEK-

Carlos are you stupid /hj

Benjamin is so adorable I can't

he turned around to come back for her instead of going home. you're "what do you want Jenn🙄X act isn't fooling anyone Benjamin 🙃

10101

1+4+16= 21st?

they placed 21st?

or do I just not remember how to convert to base ten

GIRL DON'T BE RUDE TO HIM, HE'S GONNA SAVE YALL

no ms Jenn, the kids are not eccentric 35 year olds.

aww sebby

is he thinking that Carlos is only with him cuz he's the only other openly gay guy at school-

son you are a perfect little bean don't put yourself down

yes they all ship portwell as they should.

they'll be throwing risotto at the wedding.

not the chocolates. stop there are no chocolates. please stop I'm dying.

Gina you don't have to explain yourself to her

it was a misunderstanding and it's in the past

why is Ashlyn still laughing-

exactly it wasn't a big deal please just move on Nini

Kourtney really be out here saving everything

WHY IS ASHLYN STILL LAUGHING

why do I feel like when Gina finally told Ash about it, she didn't think it was that funny but wanted to feel included in the inside joke so now she brings it up randomly to show that she's in on it....I totally don't do that...

"idk, the farmer type" oh son...

Ashlyn and big red are just spilling the secrets back and forth huh?

OOO EJ AND GINA SITTING IN A TREE K-I-S-S-I-

cmon guys don't look at me like that-

"she is the best" and "we're buddies" don't sound right together

"pretty boy" "sweet boy" best ways to describe EJ

I love him.

and aw he's scared of rejection so he'll hold back just to keep her happy and not awkward how sweet

is Ricky wondering if letting her go(literally his song from last episode) was the best thing he did for Nini because he doesn't feel like it now? hmmm this is getting good

why is everyone so invested in Kourtney and Howie's relationship

PACK UP THE LAZY RICKY THING

oh yes Benji, that's exactly what she's doing

she couldn't follow her dream or whatever so now she's using the kids to gain some of the success she craves. why else would she have that massive hsm poster with her name on it in huge letters in her office.

just casually grab his hand with both your hands and stare at him creepily 🥰

ship jennzzara y'all

the first bump was a missed opportunity to do the baymax "falalala" as a reference to the fact that they watched big hero six while committing arson✋

wait so big red and EJ just left Ricky in the basement and now Ricky invited Carlos when they're supposed to be at the stage?

help no Ricky looks like he's about to tell Carlos he likes him (I know it's about writing the song for seb but still, look at his body language and tell me it doesn't look like that)

Ricky is so mature about this, he really just wants Nini to be happy even though he's hurting-

baby you deserve love, maybe Nini isn't the one for you but don't say you don't deserve it

why does he keep adding bro to the end like he doesn't know how to address Carlos

PLEASE CARLOS HAVING TO ADDRESS THE BRO THING

"let's write a song when we have like 45 minutes to get to the place and help our friends possibly win $50000 at the show in 2 weeks"

"can you hit a high C?"

"that's like the bottom of my range"

why am I laughing

this is so cool to see friendship interactions that we don't normally get to see

Nini why are you being like this-

Gina did nothing wrong??

I saw that, EJ and Gina being the only ones going in the same direction👀

right so obviously Kourtney's waiting until after the menkies to get back with Howie just in case he really is just using her as a way in to east high... obviously... right?

CARLOS

OK ITS COMING GET READY YALL

Why is portwell so awkward all of a sudden

OMG EJ

OMG GINA SAY YES or not, do what you want.

the way she doubts that EJ would genuinely ask so she has to make sure it's not Ashlyn behind it

THE "NOT THAT I KNOW OF"

LIKE WHAT GINA SAID TO JACK ABOUT EJ BEING HER BOYFRIEND

GUYS THEY'RE SOULMATES

I want risotto now please

THEY'RE SO SWEET AND ADORABLY AWKWARD ITS LIKEEK LITTLE KIDS

OOOOOOO what is this place that seblos is in, looks fancy....and secluded

THE LYRICS ARE KILLING ME

SEBLOS IS KILLING ME

OH THE SUITS

THATS WHERE THAT CLIP IN THE PROMO WAS FROM

AWWW SEBBY'S SO CUTE

HE'S A LITTLE MARSHMALLOW

this episode really was made just for the seblos and portwell stans and you gotta love it

BIG RED GET OUT

WHY DOES HE ALWAYS DO THIS

Seb's little "yeah" IS ADORABLE

you can't tell me that wouldn't have been the best time for them to say I love you....IF FREAKIN BIG RED WASN'T THERE

ok but wait Ricky needs more hugs like that, look at his face

the boy needs love

"bro" please don't let Ricky and Carlos go back to not talking because their friendship is amazing

EJ laughing at Ricky sounding like a cat coughing up a furball is so funny to me

RICKY'S FLOP GETS ME EVERYTIME

I knew it was too good to be true

ok so Ricky's dead, next in line please

All things fugou keiji finale

Ok so fugou keiji season 1 just finished and I'm quaking with bubbly happiness but also wishing my ass off for a second season. But first, let's talk about the daiharu situation in the last episode...Im literally swooning.

I would like to focus on the scenes that weren’t mainly showed. Ep 10 finished off in the morning time. So, keep in mind Daisuke haven’t slept for more than 24 hours; he’s basically worn out to the point of exhaustion. Thus, for him to make such a big decision as to keep adollium out of sight and to himself as the only Kambe heir or to present it to the world,....whoooo....my boi be trippin over the choice. But Haru helped him get rid of all the doubt by accidently pressing on it so yeah you better....thank Haru.

After the whole thing, they probably called an ambulance for Haru to be taken to the hospital. If Daisuke is still in Daisuke fashion, he wouldn’t follow Haru to the hospital, but rather took time for himself, to rest, to refresh. BUT- BUT IF HE HAD NOT VISITED HARU AT THE HOSPITAL DURING TREATMENT, HE WOULDN’T HAVE KNOWN WHEN HARU WOULD BE GETTING OFF. So he did visit Haru. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN WOULD U MIND TELLING ME HOW THAT HAPPENED? DID DAISUKE BROUGHT HARU TREATS? FLOWERS? ASKED HIM HOW HE IS? GAVE MOTIVALTIONAL WORDS? OFFERED TO COME PICK HIM UP AND ASSIGNED A DATE TO GO MEET HIS FATHER?????? Also, after the ending song, we see their sweet, fluff, cotton-candy, rainbows and butterflies, sunflowers and sugar, all things pastel pink and blue happiness kind of buddy-cop action ahh. It was legitimately a blessing. So, for Haru and Daisuke to go on this all over the world mission together to clean up their shit, they both left Japan in the Kambe private jet. WOULD YOU ALSO MIND TELLING ME HOW THAT HAPPENED? IF DAISUKE WAS ALL LIKE, ‘SO HARU, WE JUST ACCIDENTLY TOLD THE WORLD BOUT ADOLLIUM SO BETTER GO AND TAKE CARE OF THAT NOW, YOU IN?’ SO HARU BE LIKE ‘FUCK YEAH IM IN.’ They’d legit be living the dream life, fighting people, solving crimes, catching criminals while travelling. LIKE BRUH...CAN U GET MORE HONEYMOONY THAN THIS???? Can u also imagine the scene where Daisuke gave Haru his own green ASV suit? Did he watch Haru after he put it on? Reviewed it? My head is literally spinning with all the headcanon right now.

Also at the last scene, Daisuke, (u lil shit but I love you) let Haru fell off a bridge again. Lmfao. But considering the situation, he would have probably given Haru a ride back to wherever Haru is staying (or living), which meant Haru, soaking wet from head to toe, clothes and all, sat in the shotgun seat of Daisuke’s car, glowering at him all the ride back home, lol, with Daisuke just casually smirking behind his shades, saying things like, ‘You better be ready in two hours after I drop you off cause we r going out for dinner’ or some shit. LORD HELP ME I CAN’T HANDLE THIS. which would explain the official fanart ‘million dollar memories’. Also...WHAT KIND OF FANART WAS THAT? IT IS LITERALLY IMPLYING THAT THE MEMORIES THEY ARE MAKING ARE WORTH MORE THAN HIS UNLIMITED BANK ACCOUNT AHHHHHH. OF COURSE THEY ARE.

I’m sorry if this post is too long. But I enjoyed fugou keiji so much that it’s all I can think now. I legit hope they would bless us with a season 2. And a teaser or real episode of the Hong Kong arc would not be so bad, guys.

#fugou keiji balance: unlimited #the millionaire detective #balance unlimited #daisuke x haru #daisuke #daisuke kambe #haru #haru kato #daiharu #headcanon #bromance #friendship #the millionaire detective balance unlimited #fugou keiji #fugou keiji daisuke #fugou keiji episode 11 #fugou keiji last episode #fugou keiji daiharu #fugou keiji finale

Hi I like music and I kind of go wayyy too deep into the TPN soundtrack and I think it's about time I start throwing my thoughts out there before they spiral too much

Disclaimer!!! This is not a complete analysis at all, just a few thoughts on each of the songs. I'll probably revisit some of them in future parts if I ever do those aha anyways enjoy

(Part 1/?): 63194, Emma's Sorrow, Emma's Determination, 22194, Norman's Lament, The Promise Between Humans and Demons, Jailbreak and Isabella's Lullaby.

(manga spoilers)

I've done a lil smth smth on Main Theme 2 already and its my favourite song like ever aha this is a cry for help

here you go people

but now anyways fr

63194 (Season 1)

Wouldn't have started with this one cuz I'm still figuring it out but it was the first one that came up when I pressed shuffle

Let's just go straight to the point so we can move on. The first time we hear 63194 is in episode 2, when Norman is talking to Ray about their plan in the forest (or, as I like to call it, "boat scene"). It reaches its climax when Norman starts talking about how he'll use himself to ensure the escape plan will work.

And then it's only used again in episode 8, if I'm not mistaken, after Isabella tells them about Norman's shipment, thus foreshadowing him refusing to escape and using his "death" as a tool to help the others escape.

But alsooo the song is Emma's theme, so there's definitely some sort of meaning other than foreshadowing Norman's shipment. That's for later though cuz I'll have to think more. The beginning does sound a lot like Strauss' Metamorphosen, a piece symbolising how German culture was destroyed during WW2. Not sure what to do with that info for now.

If you'd like a little extra stuff, I also tried connecting the pieces to the Doctrine of Affections, a... thing some Baroque composers wrote that connected music keys to feelings. (I found many sources but I used this one).

63194 is in C Minor, which is described as "innocently sad" (although another source said "sweet but sad") and "lovesick." I think innocence really describes Emma, Ray, and Norman in general, as kids who never did anything wrong but were thrown into the wrong world. Innocently sad would be their conversations in boat scene. They're talking about life or death, it's not something kids should have to deal with.

But again, it's hopeful. Norman wants to create a boat made out of mud---he wants to save everyone---and he really believes it'll work. So although sad, it's also sweet. It's a light at the end of the tunnel, and also just an act of kindness. As for "lovesick," that would just describe Ray and Emma's inevitable longing for Norman after he was gone. Which brings us to...

Emma's Sorrow (エマの悲しみ) (Season 1)

The two times I remember Emma's Sorrow played was 1) When they first talked to Don and Gilda about the house and 2) During the infirmary flashback scene.

The Doctrine of Affections describes E Minor as "grief and longing." In the infirmary flashback scene that obviously not only shows how Norman longs for that time when they didn't know anything and everything was light and happy but also, once again, foreshadows Emma eventually having to grieve him.

Especially because they don't play the staccato part (short quick notes) that's in the original version. Instead, the strings are always present. In staccato, the music gets pretty,,, lowkey? because the instruments can't exactly "show off," whereas the legato (long/connected notes) really shows the true importance and impact each individual instrument has on the song. Considering how the strings (specifically the violins) in the soundtrack could symbolise Norman, it's showing how Norman is not just another guy who's in their group and planning the escape, but an actual friend they'll lose and who'll leave a significant emptiness behind. Not only brain power wise, but just.. you know he's a human being and it's gonna hurt either way.

Not only that, but the harmonies itself in Emma's Sorrow once the strings really do come in are really incomplete. Like, the piano part seems to be all over the place, but it comes together because of the strings. Norman was the one who brought Emma and Ray together, in a way, and isn't Emma and Ray clashing exactly what Shirai wanted when he sent Norman away? Yea...

And Emma's Sorrow is, of course, parallel to:

Emma's Determination (エマの決定) (Season 1)

Yea no I'm still gathering thoughts on that one. The ascending bass contrasting the descending bass in Emma's Sorrow is pretty cool, though. It plays when Don is going off about how he wants to be strong after punching Ray and Norman and it's in F# Minor, so "passionate resentment." Connect both and Don really is ready to change the world. He got slapped with this very very bad reality and naturally he's angry and he's sad and he wants to do anything in his power to save people.

But back to Norman.

(hi future me here. oh my god why am i only talking about norman this was not the route this was originally going to take im so sorry i swear there's more to this post than just norman brain rot 22194 is the last norman one)

22194 (Season 1) and Norman's Lament (ノーマンの嘆き) (Season 2)

22194 is in B Minor, so "patience" and "walking towards fate." That's pretty self explanatory considering how he, and I quote, "chose death." Yea. G Minor would be "uneasiness of the future," and once again, pretty self explanatory (The whole Lambda seizures thing and I'm The Only One Who Can Save The Humans Syndrome. Normy worries too much :/)

Comparing both is pretty fun, too. It's the same melody but in different keys and instruments and thus just give off different feelings. While 22194 is full of instruments and harmonies and is clearly structured, Norman's Lament is just. Empty. It's like it's trying to stay true to 22194, so the Norman from before, but at the end of every musical sentence it just drifts off. You can see parts of 22194 in there, but it's not the same. At all.

There's also no harmony. He wants to do everything himself, and discards all his bonds and friends for that. So sad. Stop him.

All that while 22194 is rich and beautiful and oh my god i love that song so much and it's just showing how Norman was a lot more lively and layered and human when he allowed people to come into his life (the harmonies) and listened to those people instead of just locking himself up and doing everything himself.

So in conclusion cuz I ramble a lot, 22194 is about GF Norman, who hadn't gone through all those things that turned him "evil," who trusted his friends and believed everything had a good, ethic solution. Norman's Lament is about Lambda/post-Lambda Norman, who had gone through a whole lot, and was now in a downwards spiral and had left everything behind to become God or whatever, but was also in denial that he had changed in the first place.

does this make sense no idea i'm typing this while sleep deprived and high on bread and i failed english this quarter

but that aside

The Promise Between Humans and Demons (人間と鬼の約束)(Season 2)

I love this song!!!!!! So much!!!!!!!!! I love the percussion, it's used so well. And I love the way the song builds up and adds more and more instruments until it eventually reaches a climax, like the growing tension between the humans and the demons during the war that snowballed and snowballed and eventually caused both sides to resort to the Promise.

And when the song comes down you can hear a very short "first draft" ish version of Isabella's Lullaby.

It's as if yes, all this mess went down and the demons and humans made this huge promise that completely changed the world and affected an entire society but then far far away from the Seven Walls and the Promise and oblivious of the Ratri Clan and the demons were these two tiny tiny children just singing a song and living happily. And those children---and that song---were the foundation for the entire revolution that ended with the Promise. Wow.

And it's in D Major, D Major is "Triumphant." The song itself sounds triumphant, and yes the Promise was gross but it was a nice little hello kitty band aid over the mess that was the world before it.

What was truly triumphant, though, was the kids' escape, which happened to the same melodic theme, albeit in a different key. Which leads me to...

Prison Break (脱獄) (Season 1)

Oh my God. I love this song.

It symbolises the kids breaking ties with Isabella and how many obstacles were in the way (not only was she their mom; their only mom who had cared for them for their entire lives, but she was also their enemy and did everything she could to prevent them from escaping). The second the brass comes in with the theme (around 0:53) it sounds like it's struggling to play it fully. In this case, Isabella, once the singing parts, would have lost her voice after being outwitted by the children (keep in mind the song starts playing after they've already reached the wall). After all, the song starts with a voice that seems to get more and more desperate before it's overrun by instruments, thus losing its power.

So she's trying to control them and get them back, but they won't let her. They're going to break free. So you have the melodic theme playing with significant breaks, until eventually it all goes silent. Why? Because they escaped. Isabella completely lost contact with them, they're free. And then you get the same melodic theme in The Promise Between Humans and Demons.

But the theme isn't played full. It's not played to the extent that they play it in TPBDAH, instead there's a lot of just "blank space" with no melody above it: that's where the children will write their melody---their story; a story independent from the Promise that shaped their lives thus far.

AGH.

I need a break but I'll be back

Isabella's Lullaby (イサベラの唄)

OK OK Continuing on Isabella I love how Sarah Alainn sings like she's crying. I really recommend this if you want to go deep on Isabella's Lullaby, they pretty much said everything I had to say. I don't go on youtube like ever and that might as well be one of my favourite videos LOL anyways

I also really recommend listening to the no vocal/piano solo version, the harmonies are so beautiful. And the more you listen to it the more you hear, there's always something new. The violins especially oh I love the way Takahiro Obata uses violins. Honourable mention to Nat King Ballade (ナットキングバラード) and Each Thought (それぞれの想い) (idk if thats the english name for it,,,, i've seen it as "Their Own Thoughts" too)

WELL THEN. What a ride. I'll go to sleep now. If anything is incoherent or u just wanna talk then send me askies or a dm smth idk aha i like music but i hate grammar :P

#adding this to the queue cuz posting it rn would be so weird #tpn manga spoilers #thoughts #long post #tpn music #63194 #emma's sorrow #emma's determination #isabella's lullaby #prison break #tpbhad #norman's lament

TUA Season 2 is finally here! I think it was a really cool season with some really awesome potential, but there are some parts that I think really didn’t work and this is how i think they should have been fixed

(Spoilers for Season 2 of the Umbrella Academy. Obviously)

i think landing the siblings in different years was amazing, they got time to explore themselves and we could see their personalities through what they did

On the other hand, they didnt devote enough time to those storylines so it never felt like they had a solid purpose (for most of the siblings), it was more to show “time has passed”

How did Luther end up boxing under a gangster? How is he adjusting to no dad, no academy?? He was alone on the moon, He was left behind by his siblings in the academy, now he is alone and in a whole other *time* like i wanna hear about that!

Klaus has mansion and a cult and had a girlfriend benefactor lady?? Like: lets get into that! if the show wants humor that can be amazing

but it can also be really interesting and deep for exploring klaus’s need for both personal space (physically and somewhat emotionally) yet also his need for positive attention from whoever will give it to him!

More on that alone now track: the opening scene with their fighting was built to get us hyped

it fucking worked, that shit was amazing

but along with wishing that we saw more of their individual stories, i wish some of their growth had been gradual

like Klaus should have been showing off ghost stuff with his cult which is part of why they follow him which would set up his new ability to summon and conjure multiple ghosts at a time

instead of it being a throw away scene at the end where he gets caught

or Diego could have been shown in his ‘alone in dallas’ storyline to be trying to escape multiple times from the asylum and in that, figuring out his ability to start affecting other peoples shots at him, etc

Stuff like that would have been a great way to both dive into the characters *and* ramp up their abilities

Moving onto The Commission who i absolutely love so so much

Hell yeah u funky lil time-space assassins

I think that the Handler should have stayed dead

her return to the show while awesome (because she is played so well by her actress) continues this problem for the show of seemingly running in place where things dont have consequences like they should

I also think her return made a very campy feel to certain parts which is fine, the story should have fun! but it doesnt fit with the vibe very well with the other more serious plots

Imagine a storyline where the Handler is replaced by Carmichael, a competent replacement with no close personal relationship to Five

A head to head show down throughout the season of Five trying to outthink and outwit Carmichael and Commission Agents to get a briefcase

The misdirects!

The drama!

The action sequences and reveals!

More Screen Time for the Cool Ass Talking Fish 2k20!

All of which culminates in the board of directors scene but now with real weight behind it for the audience because we have been watching these two face off with one another for a season of build up

LET FIVE EAT THE FISH!

Giving that scene to the handler was the worst part of the whole season, u cant change my mind bros

This would also open up Lila to be more of her own person

Her storyline would change without the Handler there so that instead of being actively manipulated by the Handler, she has gone rogue from the commission to kill Five for her parents deaths due to previous planning and programming from her mother

(its only been 14 days for Five, a very normal turn around for him to desert, have the Handler tell Lila her version of the story, get killed, and have Lila get ready to take him down)

its generally the same plot, but Lila is more in the drivers seat

Going from tagging along with Diego in the hopes that Five returns for him to questioning some of her commitment to her mission as she spending time with them, etc

it could culminate in a reveal of her mother to Five and Diego and then a redemption where she helps them get a case from Carmichael in someway, looping her into the main plot in an important way with generally the same story

but skipping the pretty basic “obviously evil character is obviously evil but hero doesn't see it” trope that they fell into

I think that Luther’s arc in this season was awesome 10/10 gold standard

he was still him, but this storyline showcases the softer side of his loyalty and lets him grow from season 1 mistakes which is everything I hoped for

Comforting Vanya? Check

Being there for Five? Check

Being a voice of reason but still being a dumbass? Cheeeeeck

Diegos arc this season fell flat for me which was hard because he was such a main part of the plot

This whole season had a build-up trying to break down Diego’s need to be a hero (which they turned to a fucking 11 from last season?? he was not *this* intense last season, im not quite sure why they made the switch), telling him that he isnt / cant be the hero

I assumed this was leading to Diego having a big moment or sacrifice that proved that hero or not, he cares and the effort that he puts into all of these different things matters

But it just didnt??

He didnt stop the president from being assassinated, he didnt save vanya, at the farm he got trapped under a tractor

it just felt like the point was “haha see he isnt a hero”

which,,,,,,okay? What the point of that??

His involvement with the Commision was weird too, i didnt care for him being a part of that storyline very much, it just didnt add anything

Allison’s arc was just on the edge of greatness for me

it was an awesome choice to put in her in a position where she wasnt treated equally and show exactly what kind of person she is by how she fights back

her not using her rumors also seems very genuine and character based here like: 10/10 character motivations and work

My one complaint, like with just about all the partners in this season, is that she fell in love with a man and just had to leave him

which makes sense and they talk about it but like: she loves him, its hard to picture someone as loving and loyal as Allison just leaving her husband behind forever

Klaus’s arc just needed more *time*

He is a hella deep character but all of his story lines needed more time to be able to address that complexity

Show us more of the cult and his ghost powers being used there to trick and amaze and how he has been handling being cut off from the family again

I,,,,,,I understand,,,dave’s storyline

I get the time period

but fuck

that just hurts

I think Klaus not trying to rekindle his relationship with a younger Dave, but trying to protect him from the war was an amazing angle and it needed more time to get the full punch of klaus pulling out all the stops to save him but failing to really land it

Five

My Son

My Trash Boy

I feel like his job as ‘leader of the stop the apocalypse’ movement is good but that was his whole story this time around

He should have gotten more to play off of with the Commission (*cough cough* Carmichael) in his fight to get a briefcase instead of what felt like 10 hours of Five trying to herd his siblings and them just fucking up in someway or another

Five and Older Five was a cool dynamic and im glad they brought him in but again, it just felt like another long storyline attempt that didnt have a purpose as they ended the scene without the case or anything new

Ben’s arc was,,,,,strange

I love Ben and i think his interplay with Klaus is really cool!

But the writers made him fall in love which someone so they could give him a reason to want to possess Klaus which i feel like didnt need to happen

The possession was a good part of the season and could have been taken to some awesome places

It was rough and the ‘consent’ wasnt run entirely well but i think the possession is supposed to be on the line and not quite black and white

its Ben asking to take control of Klaus! That can be conflict! Thats good stuff right there! Ben is selfish! so is Klaus! thats a cool story to get into between them and see how they try to work it out

Ben wanting to connect with his other siblings after the small taste of being corporeal that he got and pushing Klaus for more and more of that freedom into possession territory would be A+ shit

and Finally: Vanya!

I think most amnesia plots are lazy and just a way to stall progress and reset a character so you can run a very similar plot again but this one seemed to genuinely grow Vanya’s character, even when she remembered

She definitely has more personality in this season

And while shes quiet, thats just who she is, she isnt as afraid to take space and speak up which is awesome!

And this stays when she gets her memory back which is very good, i dont want to see backsliding for no reason! Give me growth!

I have two complaints about her storyline though

First Sissy and Harlan

I love both of them and I think they are really cool characters!

Theyre pretty similar to vanya season 1, taking whatever is thrown at them which places Vanya in a more assertive position where she wants to protect them which i loved!

but their ending doesn't sit entirely right with me, just like Raymonds

These characters are in love and they all just leave each other so that the siblings can have a clean, no characters permanently added slate for the next season

it just makes me tired and i really want season 3 to have little to no romance if the only way the show can go about it is to do a love interest per season

My second problem gets its own section because it is the culmination of everything else i have said

episode ten

Vanya is strong af so any writer that wants big final fight needs to very carefully weigh out how to give each sibling their appropriately sized struggle so they get equal ability to contribute

Instead of doing that though, they did my least favorite trope: Evil Character secretly can do everything the heros can but better and without a problem or ***training***

It meant that they could do whatever they wanted with throwing commission agents at them because Luther, Allison, and Klaus were completely added on just to react to things

Five sort of got to do some fighting (<3 thats my lil geriatric 13 year old) but it was minor, he was mainly there to very obviously turn back time when the big bad shoot out happened

Diego got the most to do out of the siblings and it was suddenly knowing a new ability and doing it a little bit

I dont want a final fight to be trying to woo a bad guy to the good side because theyre too strong to fight

I want there to be stakes and drama as the siblings show off exactly what the season was all about, what they learned, how they grew together and apart, etc and to take down the big bad which could have very easily been the united front of the Commission instead of 18% Vanya, 15% Harlan, 30% Lila and the Handler, 20% the Swede(s), etc

Lila’s turn to good could have been to help them sneak attack the commission, maybe in their base so as to shrink the fighting to manageable bites for each character?

That would have allowed five’s killing of the board to draw the fighting to a close, a hard decision for him as he is trying to move away from killing but does so to save his family, always to save his family :’(

Luther could protect his siblings from hits like they showed at the beginning in a way that mirrors how he has been doing that emotionally all season

etc etc etc for all of the siblings so that they each get to show off and have their moment in the spotlight as heros

I loved the season even though i just ranted for like 3 pages, and it has some of the best one liners and line readings ever (”Thats where you come in Five” “Nope. No it isnt”) I just wish that some parts of it had been given some more thought / care so they could really show of the amazing cast, effects, sets, etc without writing in the way

TPN soundtrack

I’ve been listening to the OST very frequently again due to season 2 now being delayed until 2021 and.. hm, recent manga events. Some songs are very memorable to the point where I can see the anime scene in my head, while others had me think a bit more until a certain scene clicked. Even after re-watching the entire first season multiple times over the past year, there were still a handful of tracks from the OST that I didn't recognize at all. So, I spent an entire night watching all 12 of those episodes (yet again, because what else am i to do during this quarantine) to find where these songs might be hiding. I took note of all of the tracks actually, even those that went unused after some digging around.. and this is the result.

When & where do the wonderful songs of The Promised Neverland play?

Vol.1

Introduction: (im actually surprised how often this one is played)

EP1 (first minute) - When our favorite trio of young kids inspect the gate.

EP1 (10:48-13:10) - After the first game of tag, when the children are near the fence talking about those that left the house and their own personal wishes.

EP3 (9:19-10:21) - While Emma finds the tracker's location on Carol.

EP6 (3:59-6:09) - When the trio learns about the clues WM left behind via morse code while Don & Gilda enter Isabella's secret room.

EP7 (3:03-4:12) - When Krone tells the kids about the chip attached to the adult's heart.

EP9 (12:52-14:50) - When Ray reveals he never experienced infantile amnesia.

As a Soft Morning Sunrise:

EP1 (2:56-4:25) - While the kids are waking up and getting ready for breakfast.

Tag:

EP1 (7:46-8:28) - While Norman is chasing after Emma. The song itself actually starts around its 40sec mark.

EP4 (5:24-6:12) - When playing tag in teams. Skips the very beginning of the song again.

Studying for Exams:

EP1 (5:13-6:21) - While taking the morning test.

Cold-hearted Isabella:

EP2 (11:25-12:20) - While Isabella questions Emma in the hallway about her odd behavior and they talk about Conny.

Isabella's Lullaby: (this song is perfection!)

EP1 (14:13-14:32) - The melody is hummed by Isabella while taking Conny to the gate.

EP1 (19:53-21:20) - After Emma & Norman return to the house and get the idea to escape. The full song is played this time.

EP10 (10:32-12:50) - During Norman's shipment scene after he stops Emma from hurting herself and says goodbye to her.

EP12 (17:31-18:20 & 18:48-19:44) - The melody is hummed by Isabella and then Ray during the flashback. After the flashback, the melody is heard again and then transitions into "TPN Main Theme 2."

EP10 (2:01-2:50) - When Norman draws out the plantation's map.

EP4 (3:40-4:13) - In her room again, after being scolded by Isabella.

EP6 (11:14-12:40) - When Don confronts the trio in the dinning hall about their lies and demands the whole truth.

EP11 (3:26-5:24) - When Ray reveals his plan about setting the house on fire and suggests escaping at night.

TPN (Pf solo Version):

EP10 (16:52-19:16) - In the infirmary when Emma refuses Isabella's offer to become a mom.

Vol.3

TPN (Main Theme 2): (very similar to the previous main theme, but apparently this one has different cords at the end. for the life of me i honestly can't tell the difference myself)

EP12 (19:45-21:09) - While the kids are running free and Isabella returns to Phil and the other young children. Ends as the escapees witness their first sunrise outside.

Prison Break: (second favorite!)

EP12 (5:55-8:41) - Starts when Isabella alerts headquarters about the escape, continues when the kids show off the training they've accomplished in order to cross the cliff, which Don then demonstrates.

Strategy for Escape: ???

Unused. Composer Takahiro Obata imagined the trio planning their escape. (it's a shame because i actually really like this one.)

Emma's Determination:

EP6 (13:30-15:50) - After Don punches Norman & Ray. Everyone then apologizes to each other.

EP9 (9:50-11:15) - When Emma gives Ray the idea to break his arm and get sick so neither of them get shipped.

Grandma and Demons:

EP3 (10:46? 11:05-11:22) - During Isabella's nightly check in with Grandma Sarah while the demons talk about the harvest. The first couple seconds sound different in the anime than the actual track.

EP11 (7:30-9:02) - Upon Ray pouring lighter fuel on himself.

Isabella's Lullaby (Mandolin Version):

EP12 (14:13-14:40 & 15:27-17:30) - During Isabella's flashback of Leslie.

Analysis for Escape: ???

Unused. Composer thought of the trio analyzing their situation.

22194 (Norman's theme): (if this song doesn't make you tear up, you're lying)

EP7 (5:28-7:33) - The five discussing Krone's offer about receiving more information. (i had no memory of hearing it this early, but surprise)

EP9 (5:17-6:50) - When Norman fetches a glass of water. And then drops it. Because oh god, this boy just realized that he's dying tomorrow.

EP12 (1:28-4:00) - When Phil is told the truth about the house.

Their Own Thoughts: ???

Unused. Composer thought about Conny who didn't want to leave.

Reasoning for Escape:

EP3 (4:08-5:45) - In Isabella's office when she informs Krone that some of the kids found out the secret.

Ray's Retaliation: (third favorite! i also enjoy it more than his actual theme, oops)

EP8 (13:41-15:27) - Upon Ray getting locked inside Krone's old room by Isabella, though he eventually escapes. Ends before mother dearest catches up with Emma & Norman at the wall.

EP11 (11:30-13:25) - When Isabella enters the burning dinning hall, while the children escape the house. Ends when poor mother finds Emma's ear and realizes she's been fooled by a bunch of children.

TPN (Epf solo Version): ???

Unused. Played in the drama CD though, apparently?

Bonus. If you thought the lullaby was played more, then you're not entirely wrong. Many of the tracks include the same melody:

Isabella's Lullaby [all of it, of course]

Emma's Sorrow [once from 0:24, (maybe again in the middle i think?) and then 2:02]

63194 (Emma's theme) [1:35 - 2:12]

TPN (Main theme 1 & 2) [once from 1:08, then again from 2:18, and finally 3:30]

Emma's Agony [the entire song is like a slowed down version]

Isabella's Lullaby (no vocal version) [all of it]

TPN (Pf solo version) [all of it]

Prison Break [once from 0:51 then again after 1:45]

Emma's Determination [slightly at 0:26, more noticeable at 1:28]

Isabella's Lullaby (Mandolin version) [all of it]

Ray's Retaliation [1:26 - 2:18]

TPN (Epf solo version) [all of it]

So, there we go. Perhaps others might find this as interesting as I did. If not, then no big deal. It allowed me to watch season one again, so I can't complain. The wait for next season might have grown longer, but that shall not stop me from talking about the anime. Here's hoping we can hear those unused tracks in future seasons as well.

So I gonna put in this post all the proves we have for Gendrya end up together feel free to comment if you know more and I will add it:

1) Joe in Spain

We all know Joe filmed in spain and also knows how the show ends, we know they only give the scripts to the actors who are actually in the episodes, bc Bella Ramsey (Lyanna Mormont) told she only got the ones she appeared, so she don’t know how it ends but Joe said he does, so hes gonna be in the next 2 episodes.

2) Maisie and Joe interviews

As I told you guys you can’t buy what they said in interviews bc they are terrified to let escape spoilers, is on their contracts (just remember how Maisie acted on Jimmy Kimmel) the things you have to analyzes are the hints, and these two idiots gave us a lot.

(Yes these are Maisie and Joe dancing on this gif)

- Maisie almost said Arya was romantic and then changed it for Sansa bc it was a spoiler, When in seven hells has Arya been romantic? Not yet guys but based on this we will see it.

- Joe making Gendrya press for the final episodes, why? what’s the need to talk about a dead couple in a newspaper like New york times with just 2 episodes left?

- Maisie saying Arya will be torn, so we can assume she will have to make a decision and that decision is about feelings and revenge, so her arc is about that and who is the one who has been doing Arya awake feelings? Gendry, not Jon, not Starks: Gendry, why it have to be him? They could easily use Jon or Sansa but they did it with Gendry, so when Arya reconnects her feelings he is the one she will look for.

- Joe said his arc this season is about recconect with Arya. Coincidence?

- And this Diamonds Joe gave us in his last interviews:

"I don’t think necessarily that all the trimmings that come with Lords of Storm's End are really the kinds of things that he was after. Power and the land and the wealth that you would imagine Gendry would acquire now, that’s all kind of superfluous to him. I think the main thing that he would take from it is the legitimacy and that he’s no longer a bastard. The fact that he’s been recognized as a legitimate son of somebody—it can be as simple as that.

Uh oh! So he can just take the name and go away? Yes, but also he don’t mind he just want to be someone family, simple as that.

“Afterward, possibly it’s the realization that she’s not, at least not now, capable of that kind of love, because of what she’s been through.”

“Gendry is ver attracted to the woman Arya has become, but all the things he likes about her are the thing that will never her be with him that way”

So Joe and his big mouth is actually saying in that moment Arya is not ready but she will be in other way in future?

This Maisie gave us:

“It was really interesting because it’s a very human relationship for Arya,” Williams says. “This is something she’s stayed away from, an emotion we’ve never really seen her engage with."

YOU SEE FOOLS IT WASNT JUST SEX!

3) Beric Dondarrrion actor and The Hound

Beric’s actor said his final words to Arya were cut and it was only a word “Live” and what is the thing The Hound said to Gendry when he’s looking for Arya?

“The dead are dead. You are not” that was the phrase he said to approve Gendrya relationship...

4) They cut Gendrya part from GoT Behind scenes

Why? If the relationship was over and the arc closed they could have easily talk about that as a closed arc because it wouldn’t be anything to spoil about, but they didn’t why? Also Maisie haven’t mention a word about that scene not even on twitter just Joe, that’s because we can’t know Arya’s perspective yet, because we all know she does love him.

5) Gendryas love theme

The theme is not completed yet, and if their arc is finished we all know the theme would have been completed, and there is no way ramin djawadi (GoT musical composer) wouldn’t finish a theme, so we can assumed is gonna be another scene when their theme will be complete.

I let you more about this point (is a very huge analysis aboout Arya musical themes in the show) here:

6) They filmed in Storms End

So this is actually an information by: @miladyaryastark im very grateful for this fbi abilities, the GOT crew filmed in cushendun caves, know as Storms End because they have filmed before there the scene with Melissandre and shadow baby, so the scene was filmed the same day Maisie said goodbye to GoT on instagram bc she filmed her last scene, we know the last scene Maisie filmed was alone so this is a theory but what if the last scene she filmed was in a horse in the way to Storms ends? then if she filmed something with Joe for Gendrya endgame could have been filmed before that, bc it would be inside the castle and that not necessarily have to be filmed in cushendun caves.

7) THE LEAKS

This is just for all the cunts out there believe this things, first you don’t have to believe everything said on reddit, if is not a trusted sourced it can’t be true at least they have a solid prove like images or something stronger, also the leaks that are from trusted sources (the ones have failed with information already) don’t mention Arya at all. So stop the crap.

8) THE SCARS

In the sex scene between Arya and Gendry the director said that they let Maisie decide how much nudity she will show, but also they said to her that the part when Gendry see the scars was important. I haven’t see the importance until now, at least we have an scene about that in next episodes?

9) NOT A LADY BUT A LORD OF HOLDFAST

In the comments @reyloshiiiper remember me the conversation between Arya and Ned first season, and that conversation is the one when Arya said to Ned that she’s not a Lady “That’s no me”.

Arya asked Ned about Bran and Ned told her Bran is not gonna be a Kingsguard as he dreamed but he can be a Lord of a Holdfast and Arya said

— Can I be lord of a holdfast?

But then Ned gave her the talk about marry a high lord and be a lady, and that’s when Arya said that’s not me. But she see herself in a holdfast ruling it, we know Gendry don’t even know how to use a fork🤷🏻‍♀️ So Who would be the one rulling the Casttle? Arya.

Also other interesting thing is that in the same episode we see Gendry for the first time. Coincidence?

Let you the scene:

10) ARCORN GENDRYA REFERENCES FROM BOOKS IN ARYA APPEARANCE

We all know Arcorn is a Gendrya thing based on the books, in SO1E04, we meet Gendry for the first time, and Arya in that episode happens to be wearing a dress decorated with acorns. And this latest seasons Aryas hair have changed a lot she use now an Acorn bun hair, but not always just in specific scenes like the episode where Davos goes to get Gendry from King’s Landing (S07E05), his reintroduction again, and this season she used that Acorn bun hair in all episodes but not in 3, the only episode she don’t have scenes with Gendry. I let you the original article here: g

https://www.quora.com/What-is-something-you-noticed-in-Game-of-Thrones-S8E4-that-you-believe-others-have-missed/answer/Angela-Florence-3?ch=10&share=a7eafd44&srid=TU353

11) THE FEATHERBED SONG

We are so lucky beacuse Gendrya have a own love theme in the show and an own love song in books, in books is the featherbed song, and it happens that the song tells a history about a lord who propose a girl who don’t want to marry but at the end they accept their love in the woods! and is practically Gendrya history this season I will put the letters and made comments between them:

“My featherbed is deep and soft,

and there I’ll lay you down,

I’ll dress you all in yellow silk (Baratheon colors)

and on your head a crown.

For you shall be my lady love,

and I shall be your lord.

I’ll always keep you warm and safe,

and guard you with my sword. (Gendry’s proposal)

And how she smiled and how she laughed, the maiden of the tree.

She spun away and said to him,

no featherbed for me. (Arya’s rejection)

I’ll wear a gown of golden leaves,

and bind my hair with grass,

But you can be my forest love,

and me your forest lass.” (Endgame)

So we are actually at the middle of the song❤️.

So if you have more evidence (veridic one not reddit crap) comment and I will added it! We wait for Gendrya 6 fucking years when everyone told us that will never happen and look where are we know, waiting for their endgame.

fruits basket - eps 21, 22, & 23

ep 21:

ohhh are we getting a saki-centered episode now too?! here for it!

jfc motoko even has a yuki photo on her beside table? obsessed much?

those two definitely have ulterior motives lol.

aaaand naturally, of course.

these girls are gonna get owned so hard and i’m already excited about that. xD

saki’s room is beautiful!

megumi is so cute

and he spills facts that these girls need to hear too lmao

this kid is so awesome lol.

aww saki <3

rofl saki letting them sit with the fear is just too funny.

ep 22:

okay so this is the continuance of saki’s story, so the ep where tohru gets sick is either the next one or something. i like that it’s happening later than it did in the 01 anime. It feels more organic this way.

anyway back to saki

oh god yeah, i’d be annoyed, too. having all of those thoughts screaming at you? must be unbearable.

WOW. saki’s family is the perfect example of HOW to be. too bad so many families of the zodiac kids can’t react this same way. complete unconditional love <3

these kids are so fucking awful what the fuck

poor saki!

MEGUMI IS SUCH A GOOD BROTHER

these kids seriously tried to burn her im

saki’s parents are just... incredible. they truly love their daughter and even wanted to move to help her get a better environment.

i say this all the time, but: tohru is just too sweet. so accepting of everyone.

arisa is so great, too. i really love this trio.

asjadjajadj they’re all so cute i cant handle it.

so proud of saki <333

kyoko’s wisdom never fails to make me smile.

ep 23:

i literally have 2 eps left of this season i’m so excited. i’ve been watching since like 6am. XDDD i need a nap after these last two.

OH OH THIS IS THE EP WHERE TOHRU GETS SICK SJFJSFJSJFJ

tohru, sweetie it’s okay. it’s just one exam. I get it though, i hold myself to the same standard in school.

kyo blushing when tohru runs into his back i’m laughing this boy is so hopelessly in love with her.

“a fever?! right after I was talking about it?!” hahahaha

“i diagnose her with a cold” lol it’s adorable that he does, and he’s right, but... lots of things could cause a fever that could’ve been worse than a cold. just saying. xD fortunately, that’s not the case.

KYO TELLING HER TO GO TO BED. <3

momiji’s concern is just too cute.

kyo’s making tohru food AWWW

lmao @ him wanting to fight shigure because he just knows that shigure is internally giving him shit im dying

“why do i have to do this anyway?!” lmao kyo baby because you’re in love.

“he’s so innocent” hahahaha

“don’t get sick in the first place” “yes...” and tohru starts crying. and lmao, kyo’s immediately like ‘O SHIT. I was an asshole again UFGHHH” and just goes to his knees. I can’t with him. He’s so precious. The way he just listens to her here. this is exactly why they’re perfect for each other. He listens when she needs to vent, and doesn’t let her drown in her bad feelings.

“otherwise, it... it throws me off.” AWWWW.

“yours is... way better.” i’m dying.

OH MY GOD. the way he turns his head to peak at her behind his arm is the cutest fucking thing?

yuki is such a good friend to her ;a;

KYO’S READING RECIPES FOR RECOVERY SFJSFJS

yaaay she passed her exam

oh, wait.

oh shit.

starting right now... this is the ep before the reveal of kyo’s true form. SHIT SHIT SHIT

tohru offering to let kyo under her umbrella is so cute

also this scene is adorable, but... i’m laughing at the fact that the kids are just standing in the middle of the street at the crosswalk and the cars are just sitting there waiting for them to leave. I keep half-expecting them to honk at them.

oooooohhh this guy looking at them. kyo’s martial arts teacher, if I’m remembering right?

KYO’S SMILE IM

lol oh no kagura’s here. poor kyo.

See, I don’t mind Kagura too much, but... I really feel that her love for kyo is extremely one-sided and she’s too overbearing/forceful. she’s sweet, but she’s too much when it comes to him. she needs someone who she can show this loving side of herself to without it freaking them out. she and kyo work best as friends.

“it’s like she’s distancing herself from him for some reason” -remembers that she is here when the true form is revealed- did she already know? or is it something else? O__o

“i want to be a person who can accept whatever the truth is.” foreshadowingggg

“tohru doesn’t know yet, does she? do you plan on hiding it forever?” oh god. ;a;

lol these people are like “what the fuck”

“the normal thing would be to avoid me or distance yourself.” hi im crying

oooooh did kagura accidentally remove the beads? D:

awwwwww shisho noticing kyo! <3

I think I remember shisho helping to raise him? the 01 anime showed a flashback when kyo was younger. I don’t recall the speciics, though.

I’m definitely not ready for these next two eps. fuck.

i know there is and will continue to be a lot of controversy about the hate crime scene, so if you don’t want to read this post because you won’t agree with me criticizing it, then don’t read it, don’t clown on it, just don’t interact and move on with your day, i’m not taking names and hunting people down for their opinions especially when i do not personally know most of you.

obligatory statement: i’m not cis, not het, not white. do not be a bigot on this post :)

i remember very clearly the night that clip dropped + literally spending the next 2 or 3 days scrolling through the tag to read every single post in there to gather all of the opinions that i could find, everything from people who had been following the season from the very first second of the first episode, to people who were only casual viewers, who had not offered commentary before that point and only came out to share their opinions after the enormous shock wave that clip generated throughout the fandom. i don’t even think that sander running out of the hotel in episode 8 caused nearly as much of an uproar, mostly because the majority of us knew that was coming (though i do remember the outrage that we didn’t see robbe find him until it was past midnight, which is also completely understandable).

over those next few days and the following weeks, i saw the full spectrum of opinions continue to expand as more and more people gradually processed what they had seen and began to come to their own conclusions about it, especially those, like mine, with many layers of conflicting emotions. some even shared their own stories that were deeply personal and brave and heart-wrenching and hope-giving. what was pretty universal, however, was that no one saw the hate crime coming. it wasn’t in og, it hasn’t been done in any other remake, there was no hint or warning whatsoever that it was imminent. i know part of that is probably the production thinking that was an appropriate way to show how something like that can unfold in real life. do i agree with how that decision was made? ultimately, no. i’m sure that plenty of you also share that opinion to some extent. i’m sure that many of you also excuse, turn a blind eye to, or even defend the hate crime’s necessity and importance. i’ve said before that it’s not a black-and-white situation and i continue to stand by that. i also stand by the opinion that the writers handled the execution poorly even if they had good intentions. intention ≠ impact. there should have been a trigger warning. there should have been a better and more assertive resolution in the following episodes, like there was for zoë’s season (which was very well done and makes me confused why they didn’t give robbe the same treatment but i digress)

“but iT’S REALISTIC—” yes, it’s realistic that gay people experience violence for being gay. no one is denying that this stuff happens. but the aftermath of the incident, which robbe discussed only briefly twice with milan (and senne, but robbe never told him the full truth of what happened) and then was not addressed further, even when it was at some points clearly mirroring zoë’s struggle with testifying against viktor? that was not realistic. i recognize the very real possibility that they are going to drag the assault into s4 to show how robbe’s storyline impacts however they’ve written yasmina’s arc, but whatever they have planned for her honestly terrifies me to no end because we have never had an adequate sana season that does the muslim main justice. i am including og in this, for those of you who have not seen it. i’m sure that many of you who have seen skamfr s4 and druck s4 agree with me. it goes without saying that i believe they should have addressed the assault before robbe’s season actually ended in order to minimize the amount of interference that he would cause in yasmina’s season. don’t mistake this as me hating on robbe; he is one of my favorite isaks hands down. i can simultaneously love his character and hate what the writers did with him.

“but wiLLEM SAID—” first of all, if you yourself are straight and you are pulling willem’s words from the article to defend your opinion, i want you to step back from the situation and examine the details a little further. willem herbots, for all the speculation that has gone on, has now stated outright with no ambiguity that he is straight. i do not deny his talent as an actor; anyone who follows and reads my tags knows that i have many times before praised his skill in portraying robbe as intimately as he did in s3. but the hard pill to swallow for a lot of you is that by being straight, he lacks the inherent nuance that only personal experiences and struggles with sexual identity can bring to a character whose arc literally revolves around internalized homophobia and coming out. no amount of research can help him understand robbe’s character the way a gay actor would. and to be clear, this is not a moral condemnation against him; i’m not blaming willem for being straight, which is a wild thing to have to state lmao but you never know with tumblr. i do harbor the same sort of apprehension that i harbor towards any straight actor who plays gay roles regardless of their reasoning behind it (most of it falls somewhere along the lines of “i wanted to challenge myself” which honestly is such bullshit to me). but, to my knowledge, we have never had a single male isak who was played by an actor who is lgbt+ irl (i’m not counting skamesp because lucas doesn’t fit the original mold since he’s both isak and eskild, sorry if you have a problem with that), so i’m not exactly surprised that wtfock hasn’t broken that mold. saying all that, i do think he is incredibly sensitive and compassionate for his age and amount of experience, and it is rare to see someone answer questions with the kind of sincerity that comes through even in what appears to me is a fluff piece that is meant to please readers rather than present the most objective truths.

i will link a post here that pretty succinctly sums up my view on what willem stated about the hate crime and about how this interview happened in the first place, but something that i did notice that no one afaik has talked about: notice how willem uses I-statements to answer literally every single question in the interview up until he’s asked about the assault, where he slips almost too obviously into the royal “we” that is often characteristic of pre-fabricated answers: “The only moment we really showed... but we really wanted to show the harsh reality of being out... it’s not something we wanted to ignore in WtFOCK.” in the same paragraph, he uses “we” 3 times, where at no point before he had done so. of course, it’s possible that he did say it at other points and those sentences simply didn’t make the final cut for the article, but i still think it’s pretty telling that all of his other answers are so grounded in his personal, individual thoughts and experiences, but that specific response is so stilted and formal it’s almost awkward. it’s very likely that he was regurgitating an answer that was fed to him from higher up, precisely because the production knew from fan responses that it would come up in any self-respecting interviewer’s questions. these are very basic PR procedures within the industry; willem, at the end of the day, is a paid actor on a show that is still in production and is bound very tightly by his contract. do not expect at any point that what he states about wtfock is fully his own opinion, as whatever he says will reflect on the show’s reputation. this is also, more importantly, why you cannot automatically associate the words and actions of a production with the words and actions of its actors; i seriously doubt that willem h or any of the other cast members personally agree with everything the show has done, but i can tell you with absolute certainty that they are contract-bound to not share their full opinions while the show is still in production. he nor any of the other actors wouldn’t be allowed to criticize writing decisions even if they wanted to. finally, please note that i am in no way trying to lessen the impact of willem answering this question in this way, fabricated or not; i am only trying to present all the facts as objectively as i can because i’ve seen 50 posts today worshipping him for giving answers that likely did not come from his own actual brain. i am asking for a little of the same objectivity in return from you all.

finishing on a personal-ish sidenote: but i have never been more aware than in this moment how completely at odds the druck and wtfock fandoms are, like i knew during the run of robbe’s season, from some replies i was getting on posts and anons in my inbox, that it seems impossible to some people that people can like (and criticize) both shows. but now in the wake of this article, it really goes to show that both sides are ready at a moment’s notice to fight each other over matters that do not need to be fought about. we can all just talk through things and try to see each other’s perspectives and, sometimes, yes, agree to disagree. for a show that preaches “everything is love” left and right, certain people really do not seem to take that message to heart. just to be clear, im not saying that you should lie down and take people’s bullshit, but i am saying that we should hear each other out more instead of jumping to conclusions based on thirdhand information.

in conclusion: no show/film/book/other form of media is perfect and we should be allowed to bring attention to their problematic aspects without being accused of blindly hating on the aforementioned medium overall.

tl;dr criticism ≠ hate, take what willem said with a grain of salt, the assault scene is not black and white, im fuckin exhausted

#wtfock #wtfock cast #willem herbots #i was gonna put this under a read more but i need yall to read this whole thing lmao #also if there are weird mistakes or jumps it's bc i jumped around from bullet to bullet writing this and only read through it once #there are also things that i did not include here bc i thought they would be called ~drastic~ but if u wanna dm me or something #trust me i have More Opinions
