#it's not funny! i'm scared! we're all terrified actually!
Text
i’ll tell you one thing i’ve realized during this anti-queer panic and legislation in the US which is that i am so fucking tired of non-americans/USAians (mainly europeans, but also white or white-passing folks who move to europe), telling us to “just leave the country” like it’s that easy or that simple. i’m done with it! maybe it was funny at first (it wasn’t), but the fact of the matter is that the vast majority of people--especially queer people--in this country don’t have the means to just move or even travel beyond the borders. expenses of moving to a new country aside, the US is fucking huge and being bordered by mostly water, you can’t just ta-da! take a $30 train into another country. plenty of people never even have left their state! so seeing as this legislation is affecting people on a state-by-state basis (because the US is basically fifty different small governments that can’t make up their mind about anything between each other), people will be forced to live by the rules where they live. there’s no packing up from tennessee and just waltzing on over to california or michigan. the states where this queerphobic legislation and violence is affecting people the most are the states where poor people live and can’t just leave. not to mention you’d be leaving behind a cultural part of yourself, especially when it comes to race & ethnicity in different parts of the country.
but, you ask, if you do have the means to leave, and put aside worries of cultural ties, why don’t you? i can’t speak for every american when i say this, but i love my country. i hate its violent history and its narrow politics, but that’s not what i speak of. i love this land, i love the people who live here. with all its flaws, the US is a beautiful place and most of my loved ones live here. hypothetically speaking, i wouldn’t just immigrate back to korea or italy and leave my family and friends behind. i wouldn’t abandon the queer people who couldn’t leave just to save myself. is that what you europeans think people should do? well ha ha very funny, but when i pledged allegiance to the american flag as a kid it wasn’t because i believed in everything it stood for, but everything i wanted it to stand for. and i will fight for that. if a trans genocide happens upon us, i will be here for that. we will all be here for that.
#this doesn't even BEGIN to discuss the nuances of saying indigenous folks should 'just leave' im sorry but. this is ppls HOME!#anti-trans legislation#transphobia#us politics#queerphobia#josiah speaks#please reblog if this resonates with you! because boy do i have a lot of feelings about this#saw one too many 'lol look at those silly americans and their silly politics' posts#particularly one about this issue that just made my blood boil. like um you dont live here and your first instinct is to joke about it?#it's not funny! i'm scared! we're all terrified actually!

Looking back on Detroit become human in the wake of the ai craze is like. The most morbidly funny thing to me
One of these days I have to write something on how the story of that game just gets HORRIFYING when you view it through a (more) modern lens. Man
#This definitely isn't an original thought but as someone who devoted way more time than I should've to dbh#I just wanna share what's going on in me brain#Like. About dbh#Horrible racism allegory aside. A corporation creating robots meant to replace human workforces while like. People still have to rely on#Employment to uh. Survive. Is genuinely a terrifying nightmare scenario and the thing that's funny to me is dbh just doesn't seem to know#This. Like at all#It doesn't even. Like I don't remember it taking a second to reckon with the way the working class is forced to interact with the world#And how introducing what we're seeing in 2023 (ai being used to replace artists in most cases) on a mass scale is just. Unfathomably evil#And the game doesn't examine like. The corporation behind all of this at all. Like Cyberlife (from what I remember. Which isn't much) is#Effectively PASSIVE in the game. It's just like. Neutral robots and good humans vs EVIL humans who uh. Don't want to be homeless. I guess#Like you're not gonna even. Say a word. About the company willing to let this happen. Like this game has hundreds of scenarios and not a#Single thing that examines how a corporation effectively sentencing people to death for money is fucked up#You don't even need to incriminate the androids for this one man.#I don't know :) like there's a lot wrong with the game but it gets so much worse looking at it now#My thoughts are so disjointed man I just have words floating in me head that bounce into each other sometimes#Sorry about the rant! I'm scared of making this an actual post so it's tags now#Dbh#I think that was my tag for Detroit posts. I just want to sort it :')#rant in tags#Hope everyone's having a good day! :3 I'm sitting here thinking about robots :)

⧫ Characters: Mitsuya, Ran, Rindou, Wakasa
⧫ Reader: genderneutral
⧫ Summary: how they react when you're scared while watching a horror movie
⧫ A/n: don’t want to miss a post? Sign up for my Taglist in my Navi! (This is a repost from my old blog)
☰ Mitsuya:
ꕤ He knows right away when you're scared and also doesn't believe your little lies
ꕤ He Has 2 little sisters after all, he's really good at telling if someone lies
ꕤ Definitely won't call you out on it, knowing you're probably embarrassed to admit it
ꕤ But He will hold your hand on the way to the bed
ꕤ And He definitely pretends that He needs to work on a project so he can keep a light on for you
ꕤ He will ask in the morning if there was a reason to your fear
ꕤ Maybe something triggered you and He would like to know
ꕤ Will never make fun of you for getting freaked out
☰ Ran:
ꕤ This little shit, I swear
ꕤ He would laugh so hard if you flinch the slightest bit
ꕤ Once the movie is over and you hold onto a pillow for dear life He had the brilliant idea to scare the shit out of you
ꕤ Texts Sanzu to stand outside of your house, just standing in front of your bedroom window and stare at you
ꕤ Ran might tell you He goes to the toilet but puts on a mask and comes screaming through the front door, wielding a knife
ꕤ If you didn't die of a heart attack yet He will laugh at your reaction, having it all filmed
ꕤ He just loves to prank you

ꕤ He knows you would never say "I'm scared Rindou" so He just reads your body language
ꕤ "Do you remember that one time when..." telling you a bloody and gruesome story which didn't help at all
ꕤ "If a murderer breaks in He would regret that really fast, you know i'm strong, Baby"
ꕤ Holds you close when you go to bed and only sleeps once you're sleeping
ꕤ Sleeps with one eye open just in case
☰ Wakasa:
ꕤ That guy didn't even flinch once, didn't even blink
ꕤ He was so unimpressed by it it's actually scaring you more than the movie itself
ꕤ Doesn't get what’s so creepy about it
ꕤ"It's just a movie, Princess"
ꕤ "Yeah but it's based on a true story. What if we're next?" You mumble, actually terrified since the serial killer is still out there
ꕤ He shrugs, convinced it's not true
ꕤ Does research with you and holy shit, turns out the real story is even worse
ꕤ He gets a bit creeped out himself but would never show or tell it, is way better at hiding it than you
ꕤ "I won't let anyone lay a single finger on you, don't worry" He reassured you, pulling you Into his side so you feel safe

On the Charlie girl theme; her first day of school and Joel just being a mess? Alexa play slipping through my fingers.
Joel Miller is the ultimate crier at anything his kids do 🫡 (also this made me especially emotional thinking about the fact that one of the last things Sarah and Jane ever did was go to school (WHO SAID THAT))
August
Pairing: Joel Miller x fem!reader
Author’s note: I don’t love how this turned out because I actually did start crying because my goddaughter is turning four soon and she’s so big and UGH
Summary: Charlie goes to school for the first time [1.1k]
Warnings: Charlie is 5 and Ellie is 21, parental anxiety (what’s new), everyone has to put on a brave face
"Daddy and Ellie are gonna pick you up from school because Mommy has to work, okay? They'll meet you right here." You say as you smooth down the straps of Charlie's backpack. It's way too big for her and practically empty except for her lunch box that Joel packed last night, but she looks adorable. She nods as you fuss over her, Joel standing beside you.
"But if you need me to come to get you sooner, you tell Mrs. Rich, and she'll call someone on the radio to get me," Joel chimes in. "If you need anythin', you find an adult. All the adults know Mommy and Daddy, and they'll be able to help you."
"That's right." You agree, raising your eyebrows as you look at her. Kids are rushing all around you, kissing their parents and siblings goodbye before running into the school, excited for the first day. You catch a glimpse of Tommy and Maria waving to Camille as she giggles her way to the doors. She turns and calls for Charlie to follow her, but she stays where she is, wringing her hands like Joel does when he's nervous.
"What's wrong, pumpkin?" Joel asks as he crouches next to you so you're both eye-level with your daughter.
"Is school scary?" She asks, glancing between the two of you. You take a deep breath and reach for Joel's hand. He shakes his head and reaches out to brush her bangs out of her face.
"No, baby, school isn't scary. It's fun! You're gonna make so many new friends and learn so many things. Hell, I bet you'll get to be a whole lot smarter than Daddy." He says, his eyes lighting up as he tries to comfort her, but you can feel him shaking.
"Then, why does Mommy look so scared?" Her little voice makes your heart break, and you bite the inside of your cheek to stop tears from forming in your eyes. The truth is, you’re fucking terrified, but you’re not about to have a conversation with your five-year-old explaining to her why you’re so scared of leaving her at school. So, you swallow the lump in your throat and smile.
"Mommy's not scared, honey. Mommy's just sad because you're so grown up. Do you remember when Ellie went to school, and she got bigger and smarter and so so strong?" You ask, and she nods. "Do you remember how cool that was to watch?" She nods again, and you smile. Joel sniffles next to you, and you squeeze his hand. "Do you know that you're going to be the coolest and smartest and strongest little girl the world has ever seen?"
"And the most funny?" She asks, and you laugh.
"You might have to fight your sister for that one, but yes," you say. "But to do that, you have to go to school and fill your brain with lots of knowledge and cool things that Mommy and Daddy can't teach you. So, Mommy's not scared. I'm happy that you're gonna get to do and learn so many new things, and I'm sad because you're not a little baby anymore, but I'm not scared. Mrs. Rich is gonna take such good care of you, and you're gonna get to hang out with Camille at lunch, and you'll get to tell us everything you learned when you get home, okay?" You say as her teacher steps out of the school, and you hold up one finger behind Charlie's back to let her know you'll just be another second. "Are you still feeling scared?"
"A little."
"It's okay to be scared. D'you know what Mommy and Daddy do when we're scared?" You ask, and she shakes her head. You let go of Joel's hand and put your hands on her arms to fully face her. "We take three deep breaths, and we put on our brave faces, and we keep going. Can I see your brave face?" She furrows her brows together to mean mug at you, and you copy her, making her laugh. "See! You have the most brave face out of all of us! So, now we're going to take some deep breaths together, put on our brave faces, and you're gonna go to school and have a great day, okay?"
"Okay." She agrees. Together, you breathe in through your nose and out your mouth, the crisp August air distracting your spiraling thoughts. Once you let out your third exhale, she puts on her brave face, turns around, and marches toward the school like it's her life's mission. You falter and stop yourself from reaching for her, Joel's hand coming to your shoulder as you both stand. Tears stain his face, and you wipe under your eyes to keep yourself from crying.
"Well, that definitely could've gone worse," he says, and you nod. He sniffles and lets out a shaky breath. "I think we're gonna be okay."
"Yeah."
"Wait!" Charlie's voice suddenly rings out, and you both turn to see her running back over to you. You think something's wrong, or she changed her mind, and maybe you get to keep her at home for one more day. But she grabs your hands, brings you both back to the ground, and throws her arms around your necks. Her little cheek is warm against yours as she squeezes you both with all her might. "I love you more than all the chickies at home." She says, and then she's off, disappearing behind the school doors with her too-big backpack and her brave face.
Up until that moment, she's literally never said the words, "I love you more than all the chickies at home." You want to laugh at how silly it is but also cry because you know just how much she loves those stupid fucking chickens. When you turn to look at Joel, he's an absolute mess, tears falling down his face without shame, and you wrap your arms around him.
"When did she get so big?" He cries, and you feel your own tears returning. "I swear, she was just takin' naps on my chest and cryin' all night because she liked Ellie more than us." You laugh as you remember those nights and realize just how far they are from right now.
"God, she hated trying to go to sleep."
"Fuckin' hated it!" He says. You kiss his cheek and lean back to wipe his tears away. Tommy and Maria are still lingering nearby, probably ready to get something to eat before patrol, but they give you both space to feel your feelings. "She's such a good kid."
"The best," you kiss him. "And you, Joel Miller, are the best dad and husband I ever could've asked for." Before the words can even fully leave your mouth, he's tearing up again, and you laugh. "Oh, honey! It's okay!"
"I know it! Just stop talkin', and I'll get it together." He says, wrapping his arm around your waist and walking away from the school with you. Tommy claps his brother on the shoulder and mumbles something that sounds like, "Again?" Joel just shakes his head, takes a deep breath, and puts on his brave face to get through the rest of Charlie's first day of school.

Headcanons for dating George O'Malley...
He's always thought you were pretty, beautiful actually, but you were friends and nothing more.
Until one day Izzy lets slip that you think George is cute.
"(y/n)? (y/n) thinks I'm cute? They think I'm... Oh god, I'm gonna pass out."
Through Meredith and Izzy's incessant pestering, they keep telling George to ask you out but he's terrified, he's so freaking scared.
"What if she says no?!"
"But George what if she says yes?!"
It takes a few days of convincing but after a drink in Joe's with some liquid confidence, George asks to have a chat with you and tells you in a very George like way.
"We're friends, right? We're actually pretty good friends but Izzy told me something and I keep going over it in my head that maybe we're not just friends... Maybe we could be more. What I'm trying to say, (y/n), is that I like you. A lot. And I want to spend time with you that isn't in the hospital or at Meredith's mom's house. I want to go out like two normal people going on a date. I want to take you on a date."
To his surprise, you agree eagerly and you plan a date for the next night when the two of you should be off work.
He's sweet, god he's so sweet. He's nervous as all hell but it's endearing the way he stumbles over his words as he tries to tell you how beautiful you look as he stands at your front door.
The first date is a little awkward initially but George probably does something a little silly like spilling his water down his shirt which makes the two of you laugh until your stomach hurts and then the ice is broken.
He's always been so damn easy to talk to but in this context where it's the two of you on a date, he's so attentive, listening intently to what you're saying, asking genuinely interested questions. You've never been on a date like it where the other party is so curious about you.
He's so funny. You'd known George a long time, been friends for ages, but you never realised just how funny he was. He had a whole lot of stories about his family, about his wild brothers and his dad that had you in hysterics the whole night over dinner.
He takes you home once again nervous and bumbling and you know why. He wants to kiss you. He just doesn't know how you'll be if he asks. Will it be weird? He doesn't know.
"I had a great time tonight, (y/n)..."
"Me too, George. That's the best date I've had honestly."
"Seriously? I mean, uh, yeah, me too..."
There's an awkward pause but George takes a breath and asks, "Can I kiss you?"
You don't answer but instead clash your lips together in a passionate though short kiss.
From there on your friendship blossoms into a steady relationship.
You sneak away from your busy lives as Doctors to make out in closets where Bailey catches you and gives you the worst cases but it's worth it.
Izzy teases the two of you whenever she sees you cuddled up together on the couch when she comes home from her shift. She loves seeing the two of you happy though.
George gives the best cuddles, it's like everything else disappears when he cuddles you. He's warm and soft and his arms are home to you. If you've had a crappy day at work, he's the only one you want to make you feel better.
Forehead kisses, cheek kisses, neck kisses, knuckle kisses. George loves to kiss you, he kisses you anywhere and everywhere he can.
The sex is always so passionate and tender and he attends to you like no other. He makes sure that you're satisfied no matter how long it takes. He loves to pleasure you. He loves the taste of you, loves the smell, loves the way you react to him. That alone is enough to please him.
It's one night after you've had a bad day at work and you're curled around each other he whispers that he loves you. You're falling asleep but you hear him, "I love you too, George."
He lets you call him Georgie and he surprisingly doesn't mind it. It doesn't annoy him like his brothers when they call him it. He likes it when you call him it.
He has about a million pet names for you. Babe, baby, sweetheart, love; any sort of cutesy name George will call you it along with some silly ones too.
He introduces you to everyone as his girlfriend, even patients, because he is so damn in love with you.
Date nights curled on the couch watching scary movies.
Date mornings having breakfast and coffee before work every morning.
Helping each other study for tests, grabbing coffee for each other every so often during your shifts.
You don't get a lot of free time together but when you do, the two of you make it count.

Percy Jackson episode 7 spoilers!!!
First of all, that cliff hanger is more cruel than the actual cliffhanger...okay maybe not but you get the point.
- WE GOT CRUSTY'S. If I'm honest though I wasn't really disappointed when I thought he wasn't in it.
- I am sad we didn't get DOA records but the fact that they didn't fare with Charon tells me DOA does still exist they just used a different entrance so I'm hoping for it to be used in a different season. Would be funny if Nico used it in the 5th season with Percy.
- Annabeth's "Dude, don't make me come back out there!" Tell him, WiseGirl!
- Oh my god Percy and Sally at his first boarding school is so sad but when I tell you I cheered when he locked that car door! Persassy at his finest.
- "not in Kansas" "Hey focus, we left kansas four days ago." "Yeah, I-" so it's basically Canon they were going to see the Wizard of Oz in BotL then yeah??
- Percy is so polite with all the souls! "We're all dying...to some extent."
- The boys bribing Charon and Annabeth is staring at them like they are about to get them in trouble again.
- "You can buy a new whistle" I cackled
- AWW CERBERUS...I mean Ahhhh Cerberus!
- Annabeth is so smart but Grover getting eaten?? Was scared he wouldn't come back.
- I feel bad for Aryan being covered in that gloopy stuff that looked gross.
- She just chucks Percy the ball to get herself up! INGENIUS!
- Aww Annabeth's little sad backstop moment and Percy wasn't even listening!
- The way Grover lost the pearl is very clever! I wasn't expecting that but it makes more sense than Poseidon forgetting about Sally.
- New Information?!?!? Mate you could have sent an email!!!! I'm sorry but maybe the fact he was on the school gymnasium roof probably suggests that the school wasn't keeping a good enough watch on him!!! Report the school!!!
- HOMESCHOOL??!?!?! Of course Sally can't do that she's barely able to support her, Percy, and Gabe as is! But Percy seeing all of that is so sad.
- That soul is terrifying I never want to watch the fields of Asphodel scene again (I've watched it four times)
- Annabeth getting stuck because of her regret (which I'm assuming is regret leaving home) I was scared for her. Completely forgot about the pearl.
- I really thought the sound were going to do some Weeping Angel level scary stuff.
- She's so smart using the pearl
- I thought the desert was another dream sequence but nope! How did I forget!
- Sad we didn't get the tartar sauce line but I'm also glad we didn't.
- I am convinced they only came off of Grover's hooves because he has hooves and not feet. If his foot filled the shoe properly he would have been dragged to Kronos.
- "is this?" "No!" "Well it looks like-" "it absolutely is not" "Okay, so what is it then?" "Yeah that's the master bolt." "I mean, I think so right??" I love how they show it takes them longer to get to the truth without Annabeth.
- return the bolt ❌️ Take the bolt to the person you think stole it ✅️
- The café scene is so sad what! "I would never do this to you." Has me sobbing. my favourite thing about the show is all the extra scenes we're getting that explains how difficult it was for Sally to raise Percy, it just adds to why there's so many year-round campers.
- that elevator is badass
- I love how Hades tries to connect with Percy with the nautical reference. He's so funny. I want a scene in season 4 or 5 of Nico just ranting in Italian and Hades sat on his thrown like "Yeah yeah I know."
- PERCY DEFINITELY PANICKED SEEING HIS MUM IM GOLD BECAUSE WHEN HE WAS IN GOLD HE ALMOST SUFFOCATED TO DEATH AND SALLY HAS BEEN LIKE THIS FOR FAR LONGER. HE'S PANICING THAT SALLY IS EXPERIENCING WHAT HE DID.
- "huh?"..."the bolt is my brothers drama I don't want anything to do with it." Spoken like a true middle child.
- "my helm!" "Your what?" So funny. Percy knows loads of stuff about Greek mythology but not about the helm.
- Oh my god, the way this is setting Annabeth up to be the traitor??? The helm turns people invisible like her hat. Percy realised he was supposed to be dragged to Tartarus, which would make sense why she saved him from the chair...he knows someone partnered with Ares, and both Annabeth and Ares were upset with Athena when Ares arrived!! Kind of suspicious...
- "Kronos." chills.
- Hades helping them in exchange for the bolt makes sense now because he only wants to defend his land. He's thinking he's the closest to Tartarus, so he will experience his father's wrath first and therefore needs the strongest weapon.
- "Nice pearl?"
- "Hold fast mum."
- Sally burning the milkshake as an offering is so smart but WHAT CAFÉ HAS MATCHED IN THE SUGAR BOWL?!?!?
- The way Poseidon just turned up because Sally needed him <3 (couldn't do that for Percy though could you mate?)
- "it's a him, he saw it." I cackled.
- Poseidon and Sally having that kind of relationship where they put feelings aside to help the other person. It's giving besties with a child.
- "one day...one day when he's ready...when he knows who he is...and where he belongs...and fate has revealed to him his true path...and that day..." And that day is next Wednesday because surprise! Its a cliff hanger! And the end of the episode!
- The way they looked at eachother when they realised what was about to happen though has set them up to be such a perfect trio.
- I will never get over how cool Ares is!
- And riptide/anaklusmos (which for non book readers is the name of Percy's sword) looked so sick.
This episode was so good and I'm so glad it wasn't like a 25 minute episode. Even though the actual content only took 36 minutes, it felt well spaced and gave time to understand what was happening. I am a little teensy bit worried for how the last episode will go as there's quite a lot to cram in. They have to find the Helm and fight Ares and then they have to return to camp so I'm a little bit worried but I have faith that Rick, Aryan, Leah and Walker will pull it off.

phoenixiancrystallist asked:
Drabble prompt: Frey teaching Olevia how to ice skate :)
we're doing full-on Olevia Lives!AU because i said so. Frey rushed off to deal with Sila and only thought Olevia was gone, came back to find her healed and healthy. i love playing God in this way. this one got a little bit away from me
Olevia watched Frey, doubt twisting her features adorably. Frey felt a little like she was looking at herself as she had been at that age. She held out her hand to the girl, careful not to slip on the ice. "Would you just trust me?" she asked. She had been cajoling, wheedling, all but begging for damn near 20 minutes and all she had to show for it was Olevia standing at the very edge of the frozen pond.
"What if I fall in?" Olevia asked for the tenth time.
"I'll rescue you."
"What if you fall in?"
"Then I guess you'll need a new Tanta," she teased, laughing outright when Olevia put her fists on her hips.
"Stop tormenting the child," Cuff chided but sounded amused himself.
Frey reached out her hand again. Olevia, her mouth still pursed with anxiety, reached back. She closed her eyes when her skates hit ice, clinging fiercely to Frey's fingers. "Well, you didn't fall immediately so you're doing better than I did at first," Frey told her and Olevia hesitantly opened her eyes. "Look at you, standing on frozen water with knives on your feet. Brave girl."
"I'm not brave, I'm still scared," she said, flinging her arms out for Frey's shoulders when her feet slipped further apart.
"Being brave doesn't mean not being scared. Hell, I'm terrified all the time. But you can always know that I've got your back. I'm here for when you get scared. I can't do everything for you but I can make it just a little bit easier."
"Ok…" Olevia took a deep breath. "Can I try moving? But slow."
Frey wasn't particularly good at skating backwards so slow was fine with her as Olevia got used to sliding her feet over the ice. As they moved, she told Olevia how she had learned to skate, though she didn't really bother to explain YMCA or Big Brothers Big Sisters, only that she had learned from an older girl who had held her hands just like this. "I started with a chair," she said. "First time I fell, I tried to catch myself on the chair and just pulled it down on top of me. Ended up with a bruise on my hip from the ice and another one on my arm from the chair." Olevia giggled, looking as relaxed as Frey had seen her all day.
"My ankles hurt," she said eventually. "Can we sit down?"
Frey led her over to the snow-covered shore, both of them sitting down heavily. "When we get home, you'll need dry clothes. Auden will murder me if you get pneumonia on my watch."
"I can help you be brave against Auden," Olevia said, grinning at her. "I know you're scared of her."
"Oh, ha ha. You're so funny."
Frey looked over the pale expanse of ice. It likely wouldn't last and she would be leaving in a few days to head back to Visoria, looking for a needle in the stack of needles that was Olas's library. There had to be some way to fix the Break. There had to be some way she could let Olevia see life outside of Cipal.
She startled when Olevia slipped freezing fingers into her own.
"Who helps you be brave?" the girl asked quietly. "When you're out there alone? When you're in the Corruption?"
That was both a difficult question and a very easy one. "I…" Frey started and then sighed. "I don't feel alone out there. I always feel like… like someone has my back like I have yours. And I know that you and Auden are here, safe, and taking care of each other so I don't have to worry about you."
"Who has your back?" Olevia looked up at her with guileless eyes. "Someone keeps you safe?"
It was getting harder and harder to keep this secret from her, especially since the girl had moved in with her and both of them had relocated to an actual home, not a hole-studded room above the tavern. Frey was building a life now and the secrets were starting to get to her. But once she let this particular cat out of the bag, she wasn't sure where it would jump. "It's complicated. I'm not sure how to explain it to you yet."
"But you will?"
"I promise. I'm not going anywhere. I'll figure it out."
"Good." Olevia flung an arm around Frey's middle. "Can I take these off now?"
Frey laughed, something she had been doing more and more of lately. "Yeah, kiddo. Let's get you home."
Later that night, after Olevia had fallen asleep at the table and Frey had carried her to bed, Cuff nudged her, light tripping over his surface in a way that she still found deeply beautiful. "You're going to tell her about me, aren't you?"
"I don't think I can avoid it for much longer."
"Do you think that's a good idea?"
Frey sighed heavily, leaning back in her chair. "I don't know. All I know is that it's getting harder to keep them separate, the life I have with you out there and the life I have with her here. They're crashing together and there's not a whole lot I can do to stop it."
"And you think that telling her will limit the fallout?"
"I don't know. I don't have any answers for you."
"What if she tells people?"
"I don't know," Frey said, running agitated hands through her hair. "Fuck. I don't know how to do this." She shook her head. "I keep thinking about my mom. About her sending me away to keep me safe. There's nowhere for me to send Olevia."
"To keep her safe from me, you mean," Cuff said simply, flatly, but something in his tone caught her.
"You're a threat to all Athia, remember? That's what you keep telling me. Why should one girl stop you?"
She felt a bolt of something, as sudden and painful as a lightning strike, through the bond and then it was gone, the connection between them slammed firmly shut.
"You're right. What's one girl in the face of duty and responsibility?"
"Everything," Frey told him and something in him answered in kind.

AITA for getting two of my classmates killed?
Okay, okay, I know the title sounds bad but hear me out first.
So we're in this (involuntary) death game, right, long story. Basically the goal is to get away with murder but if you get caught, you get horrifically executed. Fun stuff.
Anyway, so this whole situation kinda takes a toll on me, but I keep it lowkey. Well, actually, my strategy was to act like I'm really enjoying this whole game, get chummy with the game master and stuff like that. I was apparently very convincing, even though I kept dropping hints that I'm not having a good time. So everyone was convinced pretty early on that I'm some psycho who gets pleasure out of watching people suffer, which admittedly I can't fully blame them for. But they were literally convinced I was satan incarnated before I ever did some heinous stuff just because I wasn't very nice and friendly and didn't want to pretend like we can just friendship-is-magic our way out of this. They literally got upset at me for freely speaking about the death of our classmates and trying to warn this sweet naive fucking idiot about being too trusting and the consequences of cooperating under these circumstances. No, I was not nice about it. But like, get real. They just didn't want to face the reality of the situation and that's fucking dangerous.
Anywayyyy, time passes, people get killed, everyones on edge and depressed and shit. Despite what I just said, I didn't actually believe that we all shouldn't cooperate under any circumstances. I just thought we shouldn't do it so openly. So there were two people I mainly cooperated with, let's call them G and M.
G is the aforementioned sweet naive idiot, he also happens to be an absolute mountain of a man. I saw potential in him, I knew he wasn't actually that dumb, he was just, naive and trusting and he really really wanted to protect people. I thought that was a dangerous combination. So I took him under my wing and we did spend a lot of time together.
M is... well, she's a dumb fucking bitch. Obnoxious as hell. But she's also pretty brilliant in making stuff. Like, inventions I mean. VERY USEFUL. We didn't get along much, but I knew how to handle her and we ended up collaborating on several creations and gadgets.
It was really powerful stuff, y'know? I was sure we could use these to take down the game master. I said as much to her. But she... was unsure. Actually, I guess it would be more accurate to say that she was scared, if not terrified. She didn't believe that we could win this way because she thought our classmates would definitely betray us! Can't blame her for thinking that, I guess. It was still pretty discouraging. It would've been fine if the issue had ended here, probably.
But then... long story short, I found out that she was trying to kill me. :')
I would've laughed but it really wasn't that funny, was it. I thought we had at least a truce, you backstabbing fucking bitch. Haha.
I couldn't let this happen. Of course I didn't want to die, but I did also think that if I die here, everyone else will also die. Even if she didn't get away with it, which is debatable because there would've only been about 1.5 competent people left alive to figure it out, I had plans to properly end this game. I couldn't die here.
I had to eliminate her first. She was simply too big of a threat. Not only was she actively planning to murder me, after we've literally created another possibility, she was also emotionally very unstable. It was too risky to solve this another way. Even if we had managed to pacify her now, she was still the biggest risk factor.
I had probably squeezed out all the valuable uses out of her anyway at that point, hah.
So yeah, I decided to strike her down before she could strike me down. But I didn't want to risk either getting everyone killed (because obviously I could've planned a murder I could get away with, duh) or getting executed myself. That would kinda be against the point of ending this game with more than 2 people left alive.
G had grown very depressed over the course of the game. He's always had a tendency to self deprecate and he's been offering himself as a meat shild since the very beginning but especially lately. So I thought I would be so kind and take him up on his offer :)
You guys don't know just how much he's been begging to be used, be useful, protect someone. Literally.
I planned the murder. I manipulated G, convincing him that this was the way to save everyone and he executed my orders. He killed her. I didn't have to get my own hands dirty. He even bought in his own ideas to cover up the murder scene!
The only information I hid from him was that I never planned to let him get away with this. He still chose to kill her, yknow? I didn't force him to do it. I did push his buttons. I knew he would do it if I just said the right words. But if I hadn't manipulated him like this, someone else eventually would've. And he would've done it for them too. Maybe it was always gonna happen!
Anyway, G got executed. Despite some hiccups during the trials, we unraveled the murder and well. He's dead now. My classmates are very upset with me hahahaha :')
But I didn't have a choice. What was supposed to do? Is it wrong of me for wanting to live? For thinking about the situation realistically? For thinking I was more necessary to end this game than either of them?
Edit: I've usurped the game master. Surely me officially ending this game will prevent people from murdering any more. :)
#kokichi ouma#kokichi oma#ouma kokichi#kitschpolls#drv3 spoilers#drv3#danganronpa v3#gonta gokuhara#miu iruma#lol this was not supposed to get this long but. oh well#obviously this is my interpretation of his actions mixed with my interpretation of him trying to cope with his actions#so yes this is unreliable narration#if u respond to this with a comment or reblog or tag pls play along#pretend ur seeing this as a reddit post and this is all the context u have for the situation#i just thought this would be fun

Also, you okay? Sorry that you had a near-drowning incident, that sounds awful...hope you're alright bestie! 🫂♥️
Oh, that! Well *pours out tea* that's an interesting incident. Let me walk you through it....
Never get on a speedboat when the weather is bad kids. And always wear life jackets!
I may have....not done both of those things. I can explain!
So we may have gotten on the boat, with two little kids sitting by my side. And the captain unlike the journey to the island, which was rough but not that rough, it was actually enjoyable, didn't make all of us wear life jackets. And so I, like the disaster I am, went oh well guess it's not that necessary now? I'll just wear it later on if I need to. Spoiler alert: I definitely needed to. The situation got so bad that the boat was literally jumping in the air every minute and according to my mom at least two or three waves went over the boat.Look I would have worn my life jacket during this immediately except the two little kids? Those bitches fell asleep on me 💀And I had an arm around both of their shoulders and was holding wind breakers over them so they don't feel cold. So basically ....I had no way of wearing life jacket. Adults asked if they were wearing it, and I was like yeah, yeah it's all good! We're all wearing life jackets okay?. While basically internally going except me so if this boat topples over? I'm going to have to find a way to stay above water fast. Literally told my ten year old cousin who was sitting next to me and noticed that actually I wasn't wearing a life jacket to please immediately hold onto me if something happens so that I don't drown. She also screamed that fact very loudly but I think everyone was so scared that no one cared enough to listen. Poor her. Not a fun experience, would mot recommend. Please check the weather and wear life jackets is the lesson to take from this. It was basically life threatening and honestly? Being the one sitting between thise two kids, knowing I had to take care of them because they were the closest to me was really really scary and not having a jacket on me during it made it even worse. One of the little kids got up and then I spent my time either staring at the sea or talking to him so he doesn't get scared. He wasn't scared apparently he was having fun which yeah...I was too but also I was dead terrified too. And the other one? Slept the entire journey. She literally woke up and went what happened? Why are we stopping and I wanted to die because wow
Though everyone's reactions when I said I wasn't wearing a life jacket after we got off were fun to watch.It was basically a chorus of WHAT? ARE YOU CRAZY? WHY WOULDN'T YOU WEAR A LIFE JACKET?? And i was just standing there sheepishly smiling and going well at least this is funny
And tada! My near drowning life threatening experience
#tw death mention#tw storms#tw drowning#so yeah#i was an idiot#it's an interesting memory#i mostly laugh at it now

I have so many things running through my head right now (all about Barbatos 🫶) but I feel weird sending multiple asks so I hope you don't mind if I put them all in one!
Firstly, owl Barbatos has been flying around my thoughts for DAYS. As a long-time bird lover, I can wholeheartedly say that he's very owl like in general! But this is less about him being a cutie patootie little bird and more about his onesie thing. I NEED TO HUG HIM. He looks so soft and comfy and squeezable EEEEE! I just need to spot him from across the room and then rush up to him and envelope him in the biggest embrace ever! Place several little kisses all over his beautiful face before he's had enough and just kisses me... 🙏 He actually looks like a dream to cuddle with in his onesie I cannot stand it.
Next, I am terrified of butterflies. This current even had me thinking all about how Barbayos would deal with this. Like, I am so scared of them that when I was a child, I was kicked out of the butterfly sanctuary for screaming and crying and scaring the other kids. Anyways, LMAO, I think he'd think I'm silly (I am) but still never make fun of me. That's what's so wonderful about him, he'll never judge!
I just realized these are all completely self-indulgent, and I apologize for that, but I have one more djmsjdwnwkow. So, I had left over chain from a previous DIY project, so I made Barbatos' collar chain that he has in his demon form!! I think it's super cool, and I think he'd think it is, too. I wouldn't even tell him about it, I'd just wear it one random day and see if he notices. (He will. He notices everything. More evidence towards owl Barbatos propaganda.) But, yeah, we'd match. I was wondering if you had any silly things you'd like to match Barbatos with! Personally, matching pajamas and keychains are SO cute.
Final thought, Barbatos would make you his home screen. Anyone can see a lockscreen if you look at their phone, but only he gets to see your face on his home screen <3
Listen, I always have Barbatos brain so I totally understand. You're free to send in one long ask or several smaller asks, it's whatever you're most comfortable with! I don't mind either way 💕
Ahh, owl!Barb is truly excellent. Like I definitely think that's a good choice for him. Owls have a reputation for being wise, right? And while I think in reality they're probably just as dumb as any other animal, I still like the association of wisdom for Barb, you know?
I actually have an owl that lives behind my house. I've never seen it because it gets dark here at night, but I've heard it hooting. It's actually pretty loud lol. But wouldn't it be cute if that was something Barbatos could do to like check in on MC in the human world? I think something similar whenever I see the crow gang that lives across the street from me, except I imagine it's Mammon. That's probably pretty silly, but I can't help but think about them, you know?
I think there are a lot of bird associations with the characters, I mean we also got peacocks for Luci. Though I have never seen or heard a peacock around my house lol. If I ever see a cow in the street, I'll blame Belphie.
Anyway, getting off topic here, which is that Barbatos in his onesie is absolutely adorable and I love him. He would be a delight to cuddle with.
OH suffering from lepidopterophobia?? LOL yes okay I looked that up because I was curious. I was like there has be a word for being afraid of butterflies. Anyway, I don't think Barbatos would judge you at all. The fact is, most phobias like this are irrational, it doesn't matter if they don't make sense. For you the fear is real and Barb cares a lot more about your comfort than anything else. He wouldn't want you to be scared or anxious about it!
Yo, no worries about self indulgence. I have so many self indulgent fics it's not even funny, this is what we're here for. I think Barbatos would be flattered that you would want to match with him. I especially like that it's something from his demon form, which he isn't in all the time, so it's like you're matching with him in a subtle sort of way. As for me, I don't know if I'd want something that's exactly matching, but I like the idea of something that's like clearly about him, you know? Like wearing a ring with a teal stone or something like that. I initially thought about wearing a teal septum ring, but then I realized I would like to be able to see it without a mirror so a regular ring would probably be my choice. I do like matching pajamas, though, that sounds adorable!
Oh yes, I like him being possessive. He's like, only I get to see this picture of MC, so it must be home screen. We'd kinda match that, too because this man is already on both my lock screen and my home screen yes I have a problem.
#it's so funny because I haven't been this obsessed with a fictional character since Legolas#I don't know what this says about me#obey me#obey me nightbringer#obey me barbatos#mjoria#misc answers

The things I would do to see a Leo-Draxum text conversation. Leo would either be so meticulous in what he said in fear that if he upset Draxum that Draxum would hurt Donnie, or Leo would go full shithead teenager on him. Which do you think/what do I have to do to get a oneshot of this??
So if we're playing Leo straight, (lmao) it would be neither. Leo's strengths lie in perception, manipulation, and strategy. None of which Draxum is really aware of, since he doesn't pay much attention to Leo. So to his perspective, it would seem like Leo is just being a little shit. Leo would be needling him, constantly ramping up the insults, and beating around the bush in an attempt to keep Draxum on the line longer.
All the while Leo would be carefully crafting his conversation to collect information. He'd start doing it to figure out Donnie's condition, both in terms of his illness and the whole situation in general, but listening to him ramble and the tone of his voice, Leo would come to realize that Draxum is scared. I doubt he'd ever think that Draxum is capable of loving Donnie, but he'd acknowledge that Draxum legitimately cares about him. And oh boy, he'd use that. Both to insult Draxum further, as he knows now that he wouldn't take it out on Donnie, but to try and weasel his way in and manipulate Draxum further.
But realistically, Donnie's absence being such a stressor for Leo that he's literally not operating normally is an ongoing theme in this fic. Mostly just to cover up my own shortcomings as a writer-I'm not funny or clever enough to write Leo at full strength, so he had to get nerfed. But the fear and his lack of knowledge of the situation is making him behave in ways that Leo is not used to or really suited for. So most likely, Leo would be too terrified to annoy Draxum, especially when Donnie was so vulnerable, and he'd offer up whatever medical information Draxum wanted for fear that Draxum would decide that this was too much work and just leave Donnie to die.
(days later, Draxum would just send a very cryptic 'thank you' over text and then immediately block Leo's number)
MY DUDES I am supposed to be writing ahead! Stuff that's actually going into the story! 'bites my blanket' I MIGHT write it. I really shouldn't, my ideas involve some...themes that are going to come into play at the end of this arc. Maybe I'll release a oneshot after the finale. In the meantime, people are more than welcome to write or draw it themselves!
#we're still a ways off from the arc 2 finale but#guys#oh man#i am SO excited for this shit and so terrified of fucking it up#doth#doth asks#baron draxum#leonardo

Hi, Grey! I know you're not writing right now but if you do ever write it, I'll be so excited to read StarKing smut after the tiny bit reference we got in Postcards.
Also, my question. Do you think everyone at the Ministry would be scared of this power couple and do you think Kingsley would kill anyone who troubles Sirius or it would be Sirius who will do the killing for Kingsley?
oh my gosh, anon this is a great ask and question, thank you.
i wish i could write starking smut and do it justice?? as seen in postcards, i think everyone would assume Kingsley would be a bit of a prude and like my reputation, but i think what i like most is that he actually has no cares at all? like "oh I'm sorry, you're going to shame me for being intimate with the handsomest man on the planet??? okay???? get a hobby?" there's a bit in postcards that i threw in about steamy pictures of sirius and Kingsley being in the guest bath that one of their friends "took as a joke thinking Kingsley would lose his mind" and it was the exact opposite.
(i also think its fun to think about sirius being a bit of a prude? like all posh and no we're not fucking on this rooftop until there's a sheet down or something).
everyone would be terrified of powercouple. but the joke of it all is that neither kingsley or sirius is going to do anything, and everyone is too afraid to even try?
like-- okay mess with sirius, you're messing with one of the most powerful wizarding families out there AND potentially angering THE MINISTER OF MAGIC
or
you mess with THE MINISTER OF MAGIC and wait to see if it angers the head of the most noble and ancient house of black???? no ones trying anything (and if they did, both kingsley and sirius would find it funny. ((or they wouldn't and they BOTH would make this persons life miserable)))

Time check: 0837hrs
Location: Train otw to work
I'm feeling a lil bit anxious right now. I don't know if I can make it on time to chase after the company's transport and also I'm still having dry cough and it's been like this for the past 3 days. I would also like to take my mind off by writing so I feel much calmer.
Over the last weekend, I spend my off days with Mr Husband by going to our first Halloween Horror Night at USS! I've never been to this event during my younger days as I never like crowds, horror, tickets are pricey and I was still schooling and it normally ends late at night hence, I need to have enough money so that I can actually pay for the tickets and taxi fare back home. In summary, it just cost expensive for me to pay for everything because I wasn't yet a working adult and I have curfew.
Mr Husband bought the tickets to surprise me as both of us are virgins for this event and since we're already married, why not right? He made sure I blocked off the date and told me not to make any plans. I was so excited and looking forward to it because it's been awhile since he come up with something for us.
After night shift, I slept for the entire 5hrs and woke up at 5pm to wash up and get ourselves prepared. H told me to wear something comfortable with my tokidoki bag and sports shoe as we're gonna be walking alot on that night. While I was doing my make up, I asked him if we're watching a concert lol 😂 Idk I just want to find out more to see if he's able to keep up with the surprise.
I was terrified at first bcs lol like I told you, I am never a fan of anything horror as it stresses the shit out of me and furthermore, it just makes me overthink when I'm alone. Almost every of the haunted house, I decided to walk infront and prefer H to be at the back bcs I hate it if the ghost starts to scare me from my back like I can't see but I can feel your presence behind me. I was laughing most of the time during the haunted house experience bcs of the other people in it as they were screaming and just trying to avoid getting scare hahaha it was hella funny. I was more fascinated by the works they put it on the set up. Every haunted house has a theme for it and it was well decorated it looks real. The cast look real and they didn't broke out of character.
During the journey to the destination, I somehow got a sense that we're going to go to Sentosa judging by the route we took. We parked our bike at vivo and took the monorail to Sentosa. It was crowded since it's Saturday. (And it's been awhile since I went out on weekends). And tadaaaa, we reached USS! It was crowded as heck and we were already perspiring. Bleargh. We brought our portable fan and it was a huge life saver for us. There were 3 terrifying haunted houses and 3 sinister scare zones. And btw, H also had another surprise by purchasing the express tickets. Homaigod how much have he spent in total just for these. Makes me feel guilty that he's spending so much just for this. But then again, it's worth it bcs the queue was insaneeeee for each of the haunted houses. I think I might just give it a pass if H didn't buy the express tickets.
The last haunted house we went to was The Weeknd: After hours til dawn nightmare. All you see was...... The weeknd, his chopped off head, everything of him. I'm just like 😮 I don't listen to his music but I knew who he was. I was really horrified and disgusted. The Botox face, just everything. But it was well executed I must say.
We did get to ride on mummy and transformers at least. The atmosphere was so lively as it's been such a long time since I attended something like this. Something that makes me feel alive. You know? I've been walking in circles over the last few months and going to this event at 29 years old, hits me differently.
We ended off our night at 0030hrs and head our way home. I kept thanking the husband for the surprise and it was memorable experience for first timers. Alhamdulillah, bucketlist ✅
Update: I made it to catch for my bus.

Oooo I read your hcs on Jeremy and Waylon dynamic and a bit of an idea sorta came up, it’s a little unrelated but… Do you think Jer would see Miles as some sort of replacement for Waylon and try to go after him? I feel like it becomes way too obsessive and it scares off Miles (but Jer doesn’t see it that way, he’s just gone into incel mode bc of everything that’s happened with his past relationships so far, like ‘why do you all leave me????’) or something lol
TLDR: It could happen! But I have my reasons AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO STOP RAMBLING IM SO SORRY ANON
That could happen if we're taking the desperate route hahaha though I feel like Miles can replace Rick rather than Waylon, since they're both kinda similar, in a way. So basically RickJer is the rich and spoiled version of camerashipping.
So, if the thing with Miles really happens, I think he'd just give everything up and put up a thick wall and just do something by himself. It's up to Miles if he wants to get closer to him or not (huge possibility by the way, Miles is just THAT adamant sometimes, mainly because Jer is a former one of the leaders of a shady transnational company, and he wants to know more about Murkoff)
It's too long so I'm going to place the details of Jer's feelings about Rick and Way under the cut!
So, to put it simply following this anon's question...
It's nothing climatic tbh. He doesn't lash out or anything like that. It's just... When you knew a person would do something bad to you before they do it, and the thing really happens in the future, you feel almost numb about them. It’s juft poof all the positive and even negative feelings are gone. “I’m not surprised, but I’m still mad” kinda feeling?
He's met people with various personalities, he can predict how people would react and act based on their personalities alone. He knew Waylon would actually send the emails (he just didn't expect worse stuff will happen as well). It's almost like he has no energy to even be mad about it lol but he still wants it to be hurt as much as his efforts were gone to waste (to understand this, please read my ramble under the cut, I'm sorry,,,), so he's being petty about it,,
"Somebody's been telling stories outside of class. Mr. Waylon Park, consulting contract 8208. Software engineer with a level 3 security clearance. Graduated cum laude from Berkley, but still somehow not smart enough to realize that the last thing a fly ought to do in a spider's web is wiggle. Somehow dumb enough to think that a borrowed laptop, onion router, and firewall patch would be enough to fool the world's leading supplier of biometric security. Stupid, Mr. Park. More than stupid, in fact, that was crazy."
LIKE ITS KINDA FUNNY IF YOU THINK ABOUT HIS DIALOGUES THAT WAY. I'd love to imagine that he was genuinely surprised Waylon actually attempted to send them through a shitty plan, it was insane, so at the same time he's laughing at Way's attempt while the actual person is terrified senseless on the floor. akjaksdjkad
I think a lot about Jer and it's really embarrassing......
My take on him is pretty boring and weird, I guess? Jeremy never actually... Feel the need to befriend/love someone, he didn't expect to have one so soon - it was just that Rick and Waylon happened to be people who were close to him, so he made some efforts into their relationship, expected something more from them in return, since he trusted them. Rather than mourning over people who betrayed him, he's frustrated over the things he had sacrificed in exchange for their companionship; All the money, all the covering efforts, all the emotions, the sentiments, etc, etc, are all wasted on people like them. It's not like he's close close with them either, they're pretty much just friends with benefits to putting it in summary lol
One of my friends described it so much better but unfortunately I don't remember how he worded it so bear with me anon I'm sorry, When Jeremy watches as Rick was sent to the engine, he doesn't feel sad. Rick wasn't his friend, but he feels like something is missing - something about it made him feel betrayed - probably betrayed by himself... Even the feeling itself disturbs him because even he couldn't pinpoint what was causing it. It's between "I'm completely fine even if you die" and "I wish you were here" to put it simply. I know I'm sorry if your brain exploded there,,, emotions are complicated tbh
So... it's not really like Jer isn't capable of human emotions, but rather, it's more complicated because he views emotions as something to be suppressed because they can weaken you. Showing emotions makes him vulnerable, thus making him pile up emotions and complicates stuff because he doesn't even understand himself.
My god its 3 am rn i hope im at least making sense,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Hellsite Nostalgia Tour 2023 Day 38
Born Under a Bad Sign/Rise of the Cybermen
"Born Under a Bad Sign"
Would I Survive the First Five Minutes??: Someone died (maybe), but it was before the first five minutes, so...I guess I'm okay
So, Sam killed or majorly injured SOMEONE, but that's the mystery of this episode.
This guy extorting Dean for info about what happened wit Sam is kinda...I kinda love it.
God, watching Sam watch himself kill someone just breaks my heart. Look...I fully believe a demon hijacked Sam (especially given the recap), but omg Sam's insistence that he's terrible and a danger to all around him is...I wanna hug him. or punch him in the face, knock some sense into him. i'm not sure which
"Love" how he keeps insisting it WAS him just because it was is body being used to kill...like they've never seen anyone be possessed. And he doesn't remember anything that happened...SAMMY. You're literally just getting random flashes of memories.
Uuuuggggghhhh, Dean saying he'd rather die than have to kill Sam...um...what the fuck just happened. I'm still goin with demon possession, but didn't expect Sam to clock Dean in the face with the butt of the gun...
I don't like this...I know this isn't really Sam but it's still hard to watch. Might be what makes it extra hard to watch. Sam's gonna hate himself even more after finding out what "he" did and tried to do to Jo.
At least Jo knows it's not really him, but...it's not gonna make him hate himself any less.
Ah, Dean just had to get him in the splash zone with some holy water.
WHY IS JO ASKING IF SAM WAS POSSESSED?? LIKE, OBVIOUSLY HE'S POSSESSED. (guess it could have been a shapeshifter)
Oh...oh Bobby...Bobby's so fuckin smart
"You know when people want to describe the worst possible thing they say it's like Hell? Well, there's a reason for that. Hell is like, um, well it's like Hell" is an actual line from this episode. What was the writers room doing this ep???
And yet, just a few minutes later they come up with "If it's the last thing I do, I'm gonna save you," causing endless tears
"Been On My Mind...": Not gonna count the demon possessing Sam assaulting Jo.
"Rise of the Cybermen"
I'm never excited about the first part of two parters, but...maybe the promise of the cybermen will be enough
I know it's mostly because it's a British show that most of the Earth stuff takes place there, but I do think it's funny how many times they have to fend off alien invasion. Like, whatcha scared of?
"The TARDIS is dead" "You can fix it..." girl, no. I mean, yes, because we're in season 2 of 15 (so far), but like...the TARDIS isn't a phone battery
Oh, Rose, the Doctor might be right but I couldn't blame you one bit for wanting to go see your alternate universe dad.
You can really tell this was from a bygone era by the fact that the guy filming wasn't just holding his phone, but oh was that a terrible scene to have to watch
Omg look at his smiiiile. Sorry he’s just precious
I'm sorry, Mickey, WHAT? Doing some fuckshit in an alternate universe is one thing when there's a time limit. Getting STUCK in an alternate universe is one thing. CHOOSING to stay and do whatever you want in an alternate universe because your on and off girlfriend has a new man is quite another...
The Cyrus Industries people are CARTOONISHLY evil but not in a fun way...
The cybermen are truly terrifying though...
