Chapter 32

Sorry this has taken a while to post. Life has been busy and a stupid virus has had me down for the count for quite a few days. Thank you for continuing to read and sticking with me. A big thank you to Karen Bockius for being my friend and beta.

**********************

Ross woke up Monday morning before the alarm went off, so he decided to go ahead and get up and shut the alarm off so Demelza wouldn’t be disturbed. They both had way too much to drink the night before celebrating their engagement with Dwight and Caroline and his head was proof of it. He sat on the bed staring at Demelza. He looked at her hair all over her pillow. That’s going to be a mess to get a comb through, Ross thought. Somehow she still had a smile on her face while hugging a pillow, her engagement ring sparkling on her finger. After his shower, Ross opened the medicine cabinet to pull out his razor to trim his beard and all sorts of stuff fell out into the sink sending Ross into a grumble, “We definitely need a bigger place.” He took a quick look to see if the hickey on his neck had faded at all. It was still fairly visible so he decided on another turtleneck under his suit coat. It’s not something that he ever remembers wearing at work before, so hopefully he doesn’t get any trouble about it.

On his drive to work he found himself smiling at the thought of the weekend. Everything about it was perfect. He had surprised Demelza (and himself) with the ring and the proposal. There was lots of alone time making love all weekend. The thought of spending days in bed with Demelza had his body stirring so he tried to think of something else, but it was difficult.

Ross was always in a good mood at work, but when he stepped off the elevator, his smile was even brighter than usual and his step a little lighter and it didn’t go unnoticed.

Jenny ran into Ross after she left the break room holding a fresh cup of coffee. “Ross! Morning! You’re early! Would you like some coffee? I just made a fresh pot?”

“Morning Jenny! I guess I am a little early. I woke up a little early. I can go get my own coffee, you don’t need to wait on me.” He set his briefcase down on his desk and headed to the break room. “Can I get you anything while I’m there, Jenny?”

“Um, no thank you I’ve got a cup. You’ve got a 10 o’clock in Mr. Pascoe’s office,” Jenny said.

“Okay, thanks! I’ll be right back.”

Jenny watched the bounce in Ross’s step when he entered the break room, and it made her wonder what was going on. She’d known Ross a long time and had become intuitive to his moods, and he definitely was in a good mood this morning. She heard his brilliant laugh in the break room which made her heart stutter. She had feelings for Ross, but nobody knew about it. She could barely admit it to herself. She’s had a few boyfriends off and on, but they couldn’t even come close to comparing to Ross.

“Jenny…”

“Hmm, what? I’m sorry Ross, I guess I was in a daze,” Jenny said.

“I guess so! How was your weekend? Anything interesting?” Ross asked.

Jenny shrugged, “Meh, nothing exciting. What about you? You're all smiles this morning, it must have been a good weekend.”

“Come into my office I want to show you something.”

Jenny followed Ross and shut the door, “What’s going on?”

Ross set his coffee cup down on his desk and spun around to Jenny, “You’re the first to know other than my parents… I asked Demelza to marry me and she said yes!” Ross’s face was beaming brighter than it ever has.

Jenny was shocked. She knew they were serious, but she didn’t realise that it was this serious. Her mouth dropped, and she was sure her face revealed how shocked she was.

Ross noticed her expression, “What’s the matter, Jenny? I thought you’d be happy for me?”

Jenny worked to screw her happy face back on, “What? I’m sorry, I’m just…surprised that’s all. I didn’t realise that you were thinking of proposing. But I’m very happy for you Ross. I know that Demelza makes you very happy. Congratulations!” Jenny gave him a quick hug.

Ross was going through his phone to find the pictures that they had taken of her ring, “Thank you! It was kind of a spur of the moment thing. I brought mama’s ring back with me from Nampara and hid it away. But Saturday I got to thinking, what was I waiting for? We love each other, and I can’t imagine my life with anyone else, so I thought why not. There’s nothing to wait for! Here look at some of the pictures I took. We haven’t posted anything on FP because not everyone knows yet. We still need to tell Demelza’s brothers.”

Jenny was looking at the pictures of the two of them smiling, deliriously happy in love, Demelza wearing Grace’s engagement ring. It was beautiful. Ross looked so happy in the pictures. Jenny swallowed so she could speak, “Oh Ross, these pictures are wonderful! And it looks like your mum’s ring fits her perfectly. I hope she appreciates the gesture.”

“Oh she does, Jenny, she loves it.. She isn’t like Elizabeth. And yeah, I was surprised that the ring fit. My mum’s hands must have been smaller back then.” Ross looked up at Jenny. He noticed a shine in one of her eyes, so he decided to change the subject. Anyway, about this meeting with Harris. I think that we are going to be moving offices soon. Are you alright with that Jenny?”

She handed Ross’s phone back to him, “Oh sure, why would I mind? I think it’s going to be great working in the charity division. Helping people out who need it.”

Ross smiled at her earnestness, “Yeah, I’m excited about it. Do you have their policies and procedures for me to read?”

“They are on your desk, Ross. And I’ve been going over what mergers you have in process right now to see if we can start including Clark on those.”

Ross sat down and started looking at the protocols for the charity division. He looked up at Jenny and noticed that she almost looked nervous. “Great. Thanks again Jenny. I’m going to look these over before the meeting. And, I probably don’t say it enough, but I really appreciate everything you do. I would be lost without your help.”

Jenny smiled, “Oh and Ross, I like the turtleneck look on you,” then she left Ross’s office, closing the door behind her. Ross watched as she left the office, and closed his eyes, and let out a sigh. He caught the tear in Jenny’s eye. He’d suspected off and on that she might have a thing for him, but he was hoping he was wrong. He felt bad. The last thing he wanted was to hurt Jenny. Ross let out a big sigh, and started his work day.

**********************************

Seamus was staring at the sleeping Demelza as if he could wish her awake by staring at her. He whined a little bit, but that didn’t wake her up, so he decided to lick her face. Certainly that would work? Drastic times call for drastic measures! This dog had to go outside! He licked her hand. Nothing. Now he was worried about her. He gave her face a couple of licks which caused a stir. A couple more licks on the face caused a whine from Demelza. “Seamusss, not now!” Now Seamus was barking and licking, tail wagging. “Oh alright, alright! Shhh, quiet! Just give me a minute! Fuck Seamus, give me a break! My head is killing me.”

Demelza managed to pull herself out of bed and go to the bathroom. She splashed some water on her face. She caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror and screamed! “Oh my gosh, I look like shite!” She pulled at the dark circles under her eyes, “I didn’t think I drank that much.” She managed to pull her hair back in a hair tie and put some clothes on so she was decent enough to let Seamus outside. “C’mon Seamus, let’s get you outside.”

*********************************

Demelza shuffled around the kitchen while Seamus was outside, getting some strong tea brewed when her phone rang. It was Ross. “Hi Ross,” her voice was deep and a bit gravelly.

“Demelza? Is that you, love?”

Demelza cleared her throat, “It’s me. Do you feel as shitty as I do?”

As much as he wanted to laugh at the sound of Demelza, he knew that he had better not, “Um I’m starting to feel better. I was a bit slow this morning, but it sounds like you’re having a tougher time than me. Are you sick, or just…”

“Hung over? Yeah I think I'm just hung over. Why did you let me drink so much last night?” Demelza opened the door to let Seamus back in.

“Oh honey, I’m sorry. I really didn’t think you’d had any more to drink than I did. But we did have a good reason to celebrate, yeah?” Ross was trying to get her to think of something better.

Demelza smiled and looked at her ring, “Yes, we certainly did! Oh Ross, if you could see what I look like right now, you would probably take the ring back!”

Ross chuckled, “Not a chance. You’re stuck with me forever. So I was wondering when you want to tell Drake? I’m about to head to a meeting, but do you want to ask him to meet us for lunch after?”

Demelza ran her hand over her eyes, “Ooof, I don’t know how much I could eat, but I could sit and have some tea. Where did you have in mind?”

“Oh I don’t care. You pick. But I guess first call and see if Drake can meet us.” Ross saw Jenny waiting for him to go to the meeting, “Look I have to go, so just text me and let me know what’s going. Love you!”

Demelza smiled, “Love you too, Ross!” Demelza sat down on the couch to get comfy with her tea and Seamus to give Drake a call.

“Sister! Hello! How are you?”

“Hiya Drake! I’m well, how are you?”

“Good. I’ve been meaning to call you but Michael and I have been really busy with the business. We’ve picked up a couple of new businesses for cleaning, so we’ve been pretty busy with all that on top of the dry cleanin.”

“Oh Drake, that’s wonderful! I’m so happy for you. And Ross’s dad will be that glad to hear the news as well. Listen, I was wondering if you could get free for lunch today with me and Ross? Think you could get away?”

“Mmm maybe if it’s close by. I don’t want to leave Michael alone for too long. Why? What’s going on?” Drake asked.

“Oh, we just haven’t seen you for a while and we just thought we needed a catch up with you. So, where would you like to go? Your pick.” Demelza was trying to sound nonchalant but she wasn’t very good at this type of thing.

“Hmmm what are you up to sister? This sounds kind of fishy.” Drake was definitely suspicious.

“Bloody hell Drake, who are you Agatha Christie? It’s just lunch, no big deal. So it’s your choice, where do you want to go so that I can let Ross know.” Demelza thinks she managed to cover herself so he didn’t suspect what was going on.

“Well, do you think Ross will mind a chippie?” asked Draked.

“No, no he’ll be fine with it, but can you think of some place else that might have soup? My stomach is a little bit queasy this morning.”

“Well, there’s a sandwich shop just a couple doors down from the chippie? I think they have soup as well. If our part timer was working today I could bring Michael, but it’s just me and Michael today.”

‘Okay Drake, that sounds good. I’ll text you when we have a time to meet up. Love you brother.” Demelza hung up and texted Ross where they were meeting for lunch. She didn’t expect to hear from him for a while since he was in a meeting.

Drake hung up with Demelza and smiled and looked at Michael.

Michael wondered what the smile was about, “What’s up, love? Why the face?”

Drake was really smiling now, “Demelza and Ross want to have lunch. She said it was just to catch up, but she asked for a place that had soup because she’s feeling ‘queasy’!” Drake emphasised the word with air quotes.

Michael just looked at him not understanding what he was getting at.

Drake grabbed him by the shoulders, “Don’t you get it! She said that she is queasy! C’mon you git! Queasy as in pregnant queasy!!”

“Oh shit! Do ya think?” Michael asked.

“Well what else would it be?”

“I don’t know man. I wouldn’t say something like ‘have you gained weight’ or something like that.” Michael advised.

Drake rolled his eyes at Michael, “Course not!” Drake’s phone buzzed and he looked down at it, “Okay, I’m meeting them at 1230. I’ll try not to leave you here by yourself for too long, yeah?”

“Don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine. You enjoy your time with Demelza and Ross, okay?”

Drake leaned in for a kiss, “Thanks, love.”

****************************

Ross arrived at the restaurant the same time Demelza pulled up in an Uber and opened the car door for her with a big smile on his face. He didn’t waste any time pulling her in for a big kiss, “Hello my love, how are you?”

Demelza smiled up at Ross’s beautiful smile. She couldn’t believe that she gets to look at that face and that smile every day for the rest of her life! “Mmmm, let’s just say that I’ll be having soup and tea for lunch.” She put her hand on her belly.

Ross got a sympathetic look on his face, “Oh baby I’m so sorry that you’re hungover.” He looked down at her hand and noticed she wasn’t wearing her ring, “Where’s your ring?”

Demelza raised an eyebrow at him, “It’s in my purse! I didn’t want Drake to spot it right away. Don’t worry, I’ll slip it on soon under the table. Oh here comes Drake now.” She didn’t realise that she was still holding her belly, but Drake spotted it right away. “Drake it’s so good to see you! It seems like it’s been forever since we’ve seen you.” She gave her brother a big hug.

“Hi sister, Ross, how’s it going?”

Ross patted him on the back, “Everything’s great. It’s good to see you mate! Let’s go get a table, shall we?”

****************************

All three had ordered their lunch. It turned out that Ross had ordered soup as well as Demelza, which made Drake wonder what was going on.

Demelza started making small talk, asking about Michael, asking how the business was going and it was driving Drake nuts. He was trying to play it cool, but it wasn’t easy. He really wanted to find out if his sister was pregnant. “Oh Drake, have you heard from Luke lately?” Demelza asked.

“Um no not for a couple of weeks. The last time I spoke with him he said that he was hoping to visit before the wedding season starts for the catering business.”

Ross noticed Demelza slip her hands under the table and he couldn’t help but smile. Demelza smiled back at him. She didn’t know why, but telling Drake felt different than telling Caroline and Dwight. All of a sudden she felt butterflies in her stomach. Ross gave her a look, a serious look, his eyebrows knitted together and she saw him take a deep swallow and that scared her. Did he change his mind? Then he grabbed her hand as soon as she put it on the table. He looked at their hands, and then looked up at Drake and quietly said, “Drake, I have something very important that I need to ask you.”

Drake all of a sudden started to panic inside, like he did when something was wrong at home. “What’s wrong? Did I do something bad with the business? Whatever it is, I’ll fix it.”

Ross looked shocked, “No, no Drake, God no. The business is fine, there’s nothing wrong. Aw gosh I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you. What I wanted to say is, I love your sister very much. She’s my whole world. I would love for her to be my wife, and I want to be her husband and take care of her for the rest of my life, and I would like to ask you for your blessing.”

Demelza was now in tears. She wasn’t expecting that at all.

Now Drake was stunned. He was looking at Demelza cry and that gave him a few tears. He was so happy for his sister. “Bloody hell Ross, of course I’ll give you my blessing mate! I’m so glad that my sister found you. I couldn’t have picked a better gent for her to marry.” By now, all three were laughing and crying. Demelza was showing Drake her ring and explained that it was Grace’s engagement ring.

Their food came and they all started to tuck in. Drake was watching Ross and Demelza eat their soup, and decided to ask another question. “So, you know, I thought the two of you brought me here to tell me that Demelza was pregnant.”

Demelza dropped her spoon and Ross laughed, “Why on earth made you think that I’m pregnant?”

Drake held up his hands and then pointed at the soup, “Because on the phone you said that you were feeling queasy, and then when I got here I saw you holding your stomach, and then you ordered soup…”

Ross was laughing at the expression on Demelza’s face, “Drake your sister isn’t pregnant, she’s just hungover! We’re both hungover! But I think your sister was worse off than me. We celebrated a little bit too much last night with Dwight and Caroline and one too many bottles of Proseco!”

Drake finished his sandwich, “Ah well that explains it. Wait until I tell Michael. I told him that I thought you were pregnant and he warned me against saying anything stupid, like you look like you’ve put on weight!”

“Gee, thanks for not saying that brother. Bloody hell.”

Ross took a look at his watch and picked up the bill, “Well folks, this has been fun and I’ve loved every minute of it, but I must get back to work. Dem, I’ve got just enough time to give you a lift home.”

“Are you sure Ross, I can take the tube or call a Lyft.”

“No, you’re not taking the tube, I will drive you home. Besides that will give you more time before rehearsal.” Ross said.

“True. Oh alright. Drake thanks for joining us. I’ll post some pictures after I tell Luke, yeah.”

“Sure sounds good. I’ve got to get back to the store, so I’ll talk to you both later. Congratulations again! I’m so happy for the both of you!”

They all said their goodbyes, and Drake went back to work and Ross was driving Demelza home.

Demelza was chuckling.

Ross looked at her, “What? What’s so funny?”

“Back there in the restaurant, Ross you scared the shite out of me!”

“Oh you mean when I covered your hand and stopped you from saying anything to Drake?” Ross had his little boy smirk on his face.

“Yes! I thought you were going to take your ring back or something!” Demelza said.

“What? Oh Demelza are you that unsure of me? That I would do something like that to you?” Ross pulled into their driveway and stopped the car. Ross looked at Demelza seriously and took her hands, “Demelza, I love you with all of my being. Please don’t ever doubt that. There is absolutely nothing and nobody that could ever, ever make me doubt my love for you. Please say that you believe me.”

Demelza had tears in her eyes. She shook her head, “I believe you.”

Ross was wiping her tears away with his thumbs, and looked her in the eyes. “Demelza look at me please.” She raised her head and looked him in the eyes. “Are you sure? Because I don’t want you saying it if you don’t believe me. Don’t say it just because you think it’s what I want to hear.” Demelza could hear a touch of pain in Ross’s voice.

Demelza swallowed and looked at Ross, “I believe you Ross.” Demelza took Ross’s hand and kissed his palm. She realised that she hurt him without meaning to. I must do better at trusting Ross and stop jumping to wrong conclusions.

Ross looked at his watch and winced, “I wish that I could stay home with you, but I really need to get back to the office. We’re working on my transition to the charity division. Are you going to be alright?”

“Yes, I’ll be fine Ross. I’m good. Honest. Get back to the office before you get into trouble. I need to get ready for rehearsal anyway. I’ll see you tonight, yeah.”

Ross leaned down to give a kiss and she put her hand to his cheek to bring him closer to her. It was one of those kisses where you just didn’t want to let it end. Finally Ross pulled back, pressing his forehead to Demelza’s. “Yeah, I’ll see you tonight love.”

Demelza left the car and Ross let out a big sigh in an effort to get himself together. He hadn’t realised that Demelza had doubts about his feelings. I’m going to have to work on that. Could her childhood be causing these insecurities in our relationship? Ross growled to himself and then headed back to work.

******************************

Ross got back to the office to find Jenny packing up her desk. Surely she wouldn’t quit just because he and Demelza are engaged? His brow furrowed, “Jenny, what the hell is going on? Why are you packing up your things?” His voice was louder than he meant for it to be causing Jenny to jump.

“Ross! You scared me!”

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to, but what is going on? You’re not quitting are you?” Ross didn’t even try to hide his concern.

Jenny tilted her head in confusion, “What? No Ross! I would never quit my job, I love working here. While you were at lunch, I received word that they want us to try to be moved into our new offices by the end of the day.”

Ross’s shoulders dropped in relief, “Oh. I’m sorry, I don’t know what I was thinking. Do you need help?”

Jenny shook her head, “No, I’m good here, you need to start in your office. The supplies department brought some boxes up for you in your office. Did you have a nice lunch?”

Ross was looking around in a haze, “Yeah, yeah it was good. We told Drake about our engagement, so I’m sure Demelza will be posting something on Face Page today. Alright, um, I’ll get started packing after I first make a phone call.” He started for his office and then stopped, cocked his head like a puppy, and had a smile on his face, “Jenny? I’m glad that you’re not leaving.”

Jenny smiled, “Thanks Ross. Me too.”

Ross walked into his office and closed the door behind him. He texted his father.

“Hey da, are you alone, or is mum with you?”

“Hello son. I’m alone out in the barn. What’s up?”

“OK, I’m going to call you.”

Joshua answered Ross’s phone call, “Ross, hello. What’s going on?”

“Are you sure that mum isn’t nearby?” Ross asked.

“No, no, she’s in the house having a kip. Is something wrong?”

“Well, not really. Last night when we were celebrating our engagement with Dwight and Caroline, Dwight asked if we were going to set our wedding date before or after mum’s surgery. He said that if we wait until she’s recovered, it might be a long time before she’s feeling up to going to a wedding, or doing any small wedding plans. He suggested that we find out for sure from her surgeon when they are thinking of doing the surgery, and what kind of recovery time she might have ahead of her.”

“Well, that is definitely something to think about. Her treatments do make her tired now, but I imagine she will be even more tired after she comes home,” Joshua said.

Ross sighed, “Do you think that you could speak with her surgeon on your own and get a feel for what he thinks might be best?”

“Well, I don’t know if going behind her back is the wisest thing to do. Let me think about it and see if I can get a feeling from her about it. She has a doctor appointment this week, so I might know more after then,” Joshua added.

Ross shook his head, “Alright, that sounds good. And you’ll get back with me after that?”

“Yes, of course I will. Do you really want to get married that quickly? You and Demelza can’t pull off much of a wedding in a month or two. That might be a big disappointment for Demelza.”

“I know, I’ve thought of that. But I also don’t want to wait over a year to get married,” Ross sighed.

Joshua wiped his hands over his face in a little frustration, “Ross, after we talked with you yesterday, your mother seemed a little bit concerned over your news. Something to do with not having children? She’s afraid that you might be rushing things.” Joshua sat down on a bale of hay.

Ross started doodling, this conversation was going in a direction that he really didn’t have time for, “I know, I had a feeling she would be feeling that way. Demelza isn’t sure that she wants to have children. We’ve talked about it. Frankly dad, I’ve always wanted a family, but I also understand Demelza’s background and why she’s so unsure. But what it comes down to for me is do I want to lose Demelza? No, I don’t. It’s taken me a long time to find her, and I love her, so much. I’m finally at a good spot in my life. I know it might seem like I’m rushing this, but I’m going in with my eyes open.”

Joshua saw Jud walking towards the barn, “Well, it sounds like you have your head on straight and have thought it out. I think she’s a wonderful girl, and I wouldn’t want to lose her either. Look Jud is heading into the barn, so I better get off the phone. I’ll let you know what I know hopefully on Thursday after we have your mother’s doctor’s appointment. Take care.”

“Alright. Thanks dad, I appreciate it. Cheers.”

Ross hung up and wiped his hands over his face, just like his father just did. Jenny knocked on the door, “Ross, I’m sorry to interrupt, Mr. Tonkin wanted to see you in his office when you were off the phone.”

Ross dropped his head down, “Ohhh Jenny! Okay thank you, I’ll head there now.” Ross’s phone dinged and he looked at it and started laughing.

Jenny smiled, “What’s so funny?”

“Demelza just changed her status on Face Page to engaged! I guess that makes it official!”

Omg can you do a Dbd killers and survivors of your choice react to a reader who’s just kinda blunt and answers rhetorical questions (totally not basing it off my drunk self) like ghostface just be ‘like are you ready to die?’ Reader: ‘no not really’ or a killer pounces them and they’re like ‘you’re in a personal space please get off’

AH I LOVE THIS! this literally spiked my creativity so much. I love this request. Xoxo

Killers

Jiwoon hak (The Trickster)

As we know Jiwoon loves the sounds of his victims screams so when it came to you, Jiwoon hated you with a passion. You were the only one out of everyone who never screamed, never begged him to stop, not even a whine of pain. You were always so blunt and unfazed by him. He hated it, he hated you. You’re supposed to be scared of him, running from him, screaming for him. But you never did, not even once. Any day Jiwoon would spot you in a trial he’d always ignore you, save himself the boring survivor until the end of the trial. You’d notice this, watch as he bluntly ignored you. Even making eye contact as he had the most dead expression anytime he looked at you. He’d always be laughing, giggling, have the best time of his life when it came to other survivors but you? Never was that the case. Not a single chuckle or giggle came from his mouth. When he’d down you, you’d roll your eyes and say “get off me you already downed me I can walk to the hook myself” Jiwoon never responded to you, he just ignored you while hooking you. Jiwoon never was interested in small talk, especially not with a survivor. He did this anytime you both were in a trial together.

Frank Morrison (The Legion)

Frank absolutely loved the way you talked,you wanted no extra shit just in and out of the trial just like him. You didn’t want any excuses or any extra shit and he respected that. Though as much as he respects it he also dislikes when you talk to him himself those ways. If he downs you and you say something along those lines he’ll respond with “maybe if you shut the fuck up I’ll get it done faster then you running your mouth”. The weird thing is you weren’t trying to “run your mouth” it’s just how you spoke. He’s just gotta be sensitive or some shit. If you say something back he won’t get angry no, instead he’ll give you hatch for “having the balls to stick up to him”. You being you you’ll just give him a confused look. “Ok? Thanks I guess” as you hop in the hatch. Frank being Frank he expected you to be more grateful for hatch but at the same time knew you were gonna respond that way. Oh well, at least you know Frank likes you, if you care.

Danny Johnson (The Ghostface)

See Danny was initially confused. Aren’t you scared? How are you not scared? When he downed you that’s not the response he expected. Usually survivors beg for their lives, beg for mercy. You were obviously different though. You really just didn’t care. If he downed you and you were to say “Hurry up godamn” he’d have a confused look under his mask before smiling and responding with a cheeky “sure thing darling but why the rush hmm?” He’d softly pick you up, actually wanting to have a conversation with you as you were quite interesting. You’d roll your eyes and say “I just said so I can get out of this trial faster” Danny would just chuckle. Once you were on the hook Danny would immediately pull his camera out and take pictures of you on the hook. “Gotta keep the memories~” what a weirdo.

Survivors

Dwight Fairfield

Dwight had been nervous around you ever since you were introduced in the realm. He never liked your blunt answers. It’s not a personal problem you just make him nervous with you responses, he worries about your mental health cause of it. I mean you had to be going through something if you talked that way right? Everyone else is scared shitless 24/7. As much as it made Dwight nervous he kinda liked how calm you were so it didn’t give him more anxiety in trials, when his other teammates are running around crying, legs shaking, scared out of their mind yeah it made him have terrible anxiety. Though you were one less thing he had to worry about as you knew what you were doing and weren’t ever “scared” of the killers here.

David King

David got mixed feelings from you. In all honesty he thought you were trying to be friends with the killers. But that wouldn’t make sense as you talk to everyone that way not just the killers. You’d notice he’d start getting annoyed and after awhile start asking you questions like “why you trynna have small talk with the killers?” “We’re not here to make friends with our enemies, thought that was obvious” You weren’t trying to be anybody’s friend you just talked that way, why is everyone so surprised? After some time David would notice you’d talk to your team that way too, so then he realized that was just you and how you talk. Still even then he thought you were a weirdo but still likes your confidence. David himself wasn’t that scared either as he knew he could protect himself from most so he liked the idea of someone else having confidence.

which one of the Resident Evil guys in Dead by daylight would you take home?

Truthfully?..

They all have crazy either tucked away or proudly on display and I'd rather keep them at arms distance.. However, that'd be unfair for me to say when I'm not exactly an "Upstanding Citizen". So..

Leon?.. Cute, Smart and Dumb in all the right ways, but I can tell I'm not the only one who thinks so. Yet those flashbangs are annoying for me to have to watch, even with this helmet's visor blocking it out, so I got a little beef with him for that.

Chris? If he wasn't more paranoid than Dwight about every detail in what he calls a "Mission" when it's called Trials, then I'd see about getting him to relax.

Nemesis? I.. I don't think I'd even try to have a conversation with him, let alone try more. At least he seems to take care of his zombies kids well. Does that make him a DILF for those who want to bang him?

Albert? Give a man a Brain, Looks and Style, add in a Virus that makes him in a monster, and you get the pinnacle of arrogant and uptight. Still take him home any day than Freddy.

HUNK.. I gotta say, I'm a sucker for men who hide their face. However, his backstory is shorter than a Haiku Poem, I doubt he'd be dating material.

William? Like Nemesis, I'd rather keep my distance at all times, he's one step away from just attacking anything and it's not fun to deal with.

Carlos?.. Hmm.. Maybe.. Haven't met this personally yet but I'd like to see.

A Trip to the Lake - Sidon x Reader

“if possible, and as silly as you want to make it: imagines where reader is link’s companion fairy (like navi). all i can imagine is sidon looking like he's talking to thin air, and everyone is confused, but he lifts up one of his little fin-flap thingies and it turns out you were sitting on his shoulder the whole time” - anon

this was my very first request on this page, and i’m so happy to have FINALLY finished it! when first reading it, it reminded me of that episode from the office where jim and pam are talking on the world’s smallest bluetooth, and jim pranks dwight into thinking he’s talking to himself. so, needless to say that i used some dialogue and inspo from that. (s5 ep7) this one took me a while, and i DEFINITELY need to brush up on writing lol

enjoy :)

(p.s.: i know totk has definitely changed they way we’ve expected hyrule to be rebuilt, so i’m just gonna pretend that we haven’t seen anything yet and keep everything normal-ish for this little piece.)

y/n - your name

(requests are open!)

Toto Lake is always beautiful this time of year. But you can’t see it, anyway. All you can see is the inside of Sidon’s ear fin. You’ve sat on his shoulder the whole trip up, and how you’ve managed to stay on, and hidden, is a mystery to the both of you. You're all sat on the bank side, the other three looking out into the waters. You? All you can see is a deep scarlett fin.

Zelda and Link decided to join the two of you. You don't seem to know that they think you're not there, yet. You try to make conversation, but the sound of your voice is muffled by Sidon's ear fin. Zelda is going on and on about how beautiful Castletown is looking after the restoration of most of the buildings and fountains, as well as how much foliage has grown since the malice has disappeared. Link pulls out the Sheikah Slate and shows Sidon a photo. You manage to catch a quick glimpse before he puts it away.

“Wow!” Sidon says. “Castletown is really coming together.”

Zelda smiles. “I can’t wait to see how it will look when everything’s finished! With so many homes and businesses rebuilt, hopefully it will be as lively as it was before the Calamity.”

You sit quietly, listening to their conversation. You’ve caught on by this point, and you really want to make it worth while.

“Hey,” you whisper. “what sounds good for dinner?”

Sidon thinks for a moment. “I really like the idea of hearty salmon for tonight. How does that sound to you?”

Zelda and Link both give him a look of confusion.

“Well,” Zelda begins, “that was extremely out of context, but I do love hearty salmon.”

Link nods in agreement.

Sidon turns to Zelda. “What do you mean?”

“Hearty salmon.” she continues. “Didn't you ask if it sounded good?”

“Yes, but--”

“Are you alright, Sidon?” Zelda stands up and places her hand on Sidon’s forehead. “You feel a little cold.”

“I mean…” Sidon watches her sit back down. “that could be because of the contrast of Zora and Hylian body temperatures.”

“Very true.”

Everyone sat in silence for a bit. Zelda was wading in the shallow part of the lake, and Link was skipping pebbles across the water.

“You know what would be great?” Sidon asked.

“Hmm.”

“If we had some bright-eyed crab with our salmon."

Zelda and Link once again give him that look.

“Huh?” Zelda stands up and walks over to him.

“What?”

Zelda sighs. “Are you sure you’re feeling well?”

“Yes, Princess.” Sidon speaks a little more sternly. “I’m feeling perfectly normal.”

Link snickers at the two of them.

“I’m being serious!” She continues on. “You’ve not been your normal self today, Sidon. You’ve been talking to thin air, laughing over nothing, and going on about dinner plans we didn’t even make the whole time we’ve been here. What’s going on?”

“I’m talking to y/n.”

“Y/n’s not here, Sidon!”

Sidon raises an eyebrow at her. “What are you talking about? I have been ta— ”

“Wait, shut up.”

“I’m sorry?”

Zelda puts a finger to her lips and whispers. “Shh. Do you hear that?”

Sidon’s eyes widen. “Hear what?”

“Breathing… Is that you?”

“Well, I am breathing, yes.”

Zelda looks around. “Well, stop. Hold your breath.” She walks over to the other side of Sidon. “I still hear it… Who’s there? Link?!” She turns to look at the boy in blue.

OH!!!” Sidon raises up his ear fin, and there you are, sitting on his shoulder.

“Hi!” You wave at Zelda.

Link is absolutely rolling with laughter.

Zelda’s face turns bright red in humiliation. “I—”

Sidon interrupts. “I seriously forgot you couldn’t see y/n! I’m so sorry for worrying you!”

Zelda sits back down yet again, her face buried in her hands from embarrassment.

“You have to admit though,” You jump off Sidon’s boulder and walk over to her. “that was the funniest hour and a half you’ve had in a long time.”

Zelda lifts her head. “Yeah, you’re right.”

“And besides,” you add. “you’re always invited to dinner!”

so i started this episode and when the flowers started coming back to life i thought to myself, if i'm gonna watch some sad timeywimey shit then i'm gonna just go all in and rewatch arrival. and if i'm gonna rewatch arrival, i'm gonna rewatch interstellar. so that's what i did instead. here's attempt #2

sidenote david reed did the story, he was also a writer on the magicians

supernatural s5e19 hammer of the gods (st. david reed, teleplay andrew dabb, daniel loflin)

starting strong. she's so good, great voice

DEAN How you doing?

WOMAN No.

DEAN But--

WOMAN No.

yellowjackets s1 - rekha sharma as jessica roberts

funny little trick of lighting and certain colors, can't say i pay much attention to what they're wearing unless it's an outlier like that white floralish printed button down and the like sam wore in early seasons especially, but thought, i don't recall seeing dean in a brown jacket before

but in this cooler kitchen lighting, it looks green. there was a tiktok going around a few years ago about someone who bought a ... hat? that looked green or brown depending on the lighting. reminds me of that

i appreciate the point of like hey. judeo-christian apocalypse, what about all these other religions that have to deal with the bullshit fallout. BUT like, is big g god who abandoned them in the same hierarchy as these gods? because if not, then hmm. i may not have enough firing brain cells for this thought process, and definitely a general lack of understanding of religion

um random ghostfacers pseudo-but-kinda-not promo? okay.

ps the angel blades to me always looks like super cheap plastic fake chrome things. i try not to laugh every time i see one.

sam's reaction *chef's kiss* padalecki is hitting the spot for me lately with his wtf faces

DEAN I'm outta options. Now on any other given day, I'd be doing my damndest to, uh, kill you. You filthy murdering chimps. But, uh, hey, desperate times. So even though I'd love nothing better than to slit your throats, you dicks, I'm gonna help you. I'm going to help you ice the devil.

not loving the makeup they went for on decaying vessel lucifer. also do not understand the internal logic of why lucifer can just snuff out a god. little snicker snack twist of the wrist but archangels and their ilk need a special blade otherwise?

makeup looking much better in this mood lighting with some blood spatter. very menacing, to boot

this pestilence bit with the goo is unending. please, we get it. 😩

okay. laughing at myself because i'm just realizing i thought matt frewer was murdock in the original a-team, but no. that was a different dude. dwight schultz. i can't figure out what i originally knew him from, maybe doctor doctor, maybe the stand? something 80s/90s.

altered carbon s1e6 man with my face - matt frewer as carnage

kind of a nod to max headroom there seems like. which, i'm not sure if i ever saw any of the max headroom shows? i just associated the character with coke ads.

the stand (1994) matt frewer as trashcan man

dwight schultz not matt frewer in the a-team

well. i wasn't really expecting that change of heart with gabriel, and swift execution. i like the actor and the character but while i picked up the mushy emotions they were putting down, i also hold a grudge against him for torturing sam for approaching a year with the mystery spot. wish maybe they'd worked on that arc a little longer.

Negan’s Wives

I’m like, a villain supporter through and through, I don’t really give a fuck what a bad guy has done, murder away and I will cheer you on etc, and Negan is very much included in that, but I’ve always been iffy on his wives situation and I know a lot of people bring it up as a reason why he’s irredeemable so I want to figure out how I feel about it.

During my recent re-watch I basically paid extra attention and took note of various moments related to his wives and general attitude towards sex/consent. I know this is an old conversation, but I need to talk about it to get my thoughts out so here we are.

Parts of this post mention rape and coercion so tread carefully if those topics are likely to upset you.

I don’t know the best way to format this post so I’m just going to go through each moment I noted down first

(1) 7.03, 7mins in

(Dwight notices a pregnancy test) SHERRY: It’s negative. DWIGHT: Well, maybe next time.

(2) 7.03, 12mins in

(Negan offers his wives to Dwight as a reward) NEGAN: Pick whoever you want, as long as she says yes.

(3) 7.04, 16-18mins in

(Negan is at Alexandria and asks about Maggie) NEGAN: Widows, especially ones that look like that, they are special. I love ‘em. Right after their husbands go they are just.. empty inside. But usually not for long. NEGAN: A damn tragedy, that’s what this is.... I was gonna ask her to come back with me. Oh, I know what you’re thinking, how could I have a shot, guy that just bashed her husband’s head in? You’d be surprised. boy, people, they-

(I don’t actually end up using this quote in the post anywhere, but I cba with going through and changing all the numbers so it’s staying here)

(4) 7.07, 10mins in

(Carl shoots up the sanctuary) NEGAN: Damn, I am not gonna have time to screw any of my wives today.

(5) 7.07, 17mins in

(Amber, one of Negan’s wives. cheated on Negan. She knows he knows and is sat crying, seemingly terrified about what’s going to happen) NEGAN: Amber, baby, you know I don’t want anyone here that doesn’t wanna be here, right? AMBER: Mm-hmm. NEGAN: So if you wanna leave and go back to Mark... you can. But what can’t you do? AMBER: Cheat on you. NEGAN: That is exactly right. You can’t cheat on me. There’s plenty other gals who would love to take your place, and there’s a few job openings that I can think of. You want to go back to Mark and your mom? Hell, I’ll put you all on the same job. AMBER: No. I’ll stay. I’m sorry. NEGAN: You know what that means, right? You know what that means, right? AMBER: Yes. I love you, Negan. NEGAN: Oh, of course you do, darlin’. I don’t know why you’re crying. It’s all gonna work out aces for you.

(6) 7.07, 27mins in

CARL: Are all of those women actually your- NEGAN: Wives? I always wanted to screw a whole bunch of different women. I mean, why settle for just one? Why follow the same old rules? Why not make life better?

(7) 7.11, 30mins in

FRANKIE: You saw Amber last night. She just drinks and cries. She didn’t want this. We signed up for it. It’s better for us. She had to. Her mom needed meds. She can’t work. Amber thought... that she could live with it. She can’t.

(8) 8.05, 29min in

GABRIEL: Carl told us about your wives. The women you pressure into marrying you? NEGAN: Every one of those ladies made a choice.

(9) 8.12, 36mins in

RICK: You use people to bring you food, to sleep with you, to protect you.

(10) 11.22(?), ??mins in

EZEKIEL: Melting people’s faces with irons, coercing women into marrying you, slaughtering my own people. That shit I have not forgotten.

Now for some rambling. I’ve put it into sections as much as I can.

Did Negan sleep with his wives?

I sometimes see people say they don’t think Negan had sex with his wives at all but from these quotes we know that’s canonically not the case. He makes a comment to Carl about screwing his wives (4) and then mentions how he’s always wanted to screw multiple women (6), implying that now that he has multiple wives, that’s exactly what he does. And of course there’s Sherry’s pregnancy test (1), which is the most concrete proof of all.

I’m sure some people would say, ‘Well maybe he’s lying’ but I think, while it’s feasible that a character like Negan would lie about something to sound impressive or whatever, I think going down the ‘he’s lying’ road is a slippery slope and kind of just an easy way to explain away something you may not like. You could also say Sherry may have been cheating with Dwight which is why did the test and not because she had been sleeping with Negan but again, I don’t think that is implied anywhere so it’s, in my opinion, a dumb road to go down.

Consent

Negan makes it clear in a couple of scenes that consent is important and he has zero tolerance for rape. He tells Dwight he can get with one of his wives but only if they say yes (2) and there’s a scene I didn’t include in my quote list where he literally murders a guy for attempting to rape Sasha.

Did they choose to be his wives?

While Negan having a bunch of wives and making it so that being his wife makes life easier for you is morally questionable, there are multiple times where he says they’re there because they chose to be and not because he forces them to be. He tells Amber he doesn’t want anyone there if they don’t want to be there (5), and he tells Gabriel they all chose to be there (8). Frankie also tells Eugene that her and Tanya signed up to be his wives because it’s better for them (7).

I think Amber and Sherry’s cases are definitely where it’s the most morally messed up. With Amber, we know her options are either be Negan’s wife or let her mum die, as without being Negan’s wife she would have no way of getting meds her mum needs (7), and going by her interaction with Negan (5) and the fact she literally would rather die than be his wife (7), she’s clearly not happy. With Sherry, we know that the reason she agreed to be Negan's wife was to stop him from killing Dwight after they ran away. So while Negan is right about them technically having a choice, when the choices are be this man’s wife or let your mum/partner die, is there really a choice?

Which wives does Negan sleep with?

Since we know Negan sleeps with more than one of his wives (6), and we know his rules on consent (2), I think it’s fairly simple to deduce that while he definitely sleeps with some of his wives, he probably doesn’t sleep with all of them.

Amber clearly doesn’t like Negan at all and is only his wife because she wants meds for her mum so I don’t think she would ever be willing to have sex with him and since we know his rules on consent, I don’t think they ever sleep together.

In my opinion it’s fairly possible that he sleeps with Tanya and Frankie, which may seem ridiculous because of the fact they literally wanted him dead but I just get the vibe that they wouldn’t be against it despite their dislike of him. Their general attitude towards him, while they definitely hate him, is a lot more, idk, relaxed(?) than, say, Amber who is seemingly terrified of him, spends all her time drinking and is so unhappy with her situation that she wants to die. So yeah, I think it’s possible they would be down to sleep with him despite their feelings about him as a person.

Sherry is I think the only wife we know that he for sure has slept with (1) which I think is interesting and potentially messy because we know Negan’s rules on consent and we know that Sherry absolutely hates him and loves Dwight. So why would she say yes to sleeping with him?

Her attitude imo lies somewhere between Tanya/Frankie and Amber. She clearly hates him/the situation and gets out of there as soon as she can, but she doesn’t seem scared/broken in the same way Amber is. She gets on with things and in the scene where Negan talks to Amber about Amber’s cheating, Sherry seems kinda willing to stand up to Negan a bit and talk back to him. I find their dynamic interesting tbh.

With Sherry what it comes down to for me is the fact she loves Dwight. As far as we know, Tanya and Frankie don’t have partners who that can’t be with because of their marriage to Negan so them saying yes to sleeping with him isn’t as odd to me as Sherry saying yes, because I wouldn’t have thought she’d do that to Dwight. So that just makes me think that the reason she’s slept with Negan is out of fear or because she thought it would make Dwight’s life easier if Negan had that up on him, idk, something like that.

And also obviously, while imo it’s possible Tanya and Frankie would to sleep with Negan because they were okay with it, it is also a possibility that they would agree more out of compliance/fear rather than enthusiastic consent.

Amber remains the only wife that I for sure don’t think he would sleep with because of just how much of a mess she is and how Negan would be very aware that a yes from her would be a yes out of fear whereas with Tanya and Frankie (and also Sherry but like I said, the existence of Dwight makes it weird to me) seem like if they were saying yes out of compliance/fear, they would be able to keep it together and hide that they don’t really want to be sleeping with him.

There’s also at least two other wives that we know nothing about so I can’t say if I think he has slept with them or not. I’d just say that if he hasn’t sleep with Tanya or Frankie then he probably does sleep with those unnamed wives, because we know he has slept with multiple of his wives (6), with Sherry for sure being one of them.

Other Characters

Gabriel mentions Negan’s wives who he says Negan ‘pressures’ into marrying him. Negan corrects him and says they all have a choice (8). I do think in this case Gabriel is wrong here about the pressuring. There doesn’t seem to be any pressure/force to marry but like I said before, mainly with Amber and Sherry, it’s also not as simple as, ‘Yeah, they chose this and are happy to be married to him’.

The next instance is Rick saying Negan ‘uses people to sleep with him’ (9), which, yeah, depending on how you look at things, like which of his wives you think he sleeps with and if you think they say yes because they want to or because they are scared/feel like they have to, Rick is correct.

Rick obviously isn’t saying that because he has tons of insider info (like about who chose to be there, specifically which wives Negan sleeps with, etc), all he knows is what Carl told him which is probably just, ‘Negan has a room full of wives, he says he sleeps with multiple of them, they don’t all seem too happy to be there,’ so I wouldn’t take Rick’s comment as like, concrete proof that Negan sleeping with his wives is categorically him ‘using’ them, but yeah it makes sense why Rick would say that and I don’t think we can concretely say he’s wrong.

The third time we get a mention of Negan’s wives is after, from what I remember, nearly three full seasons of his wives not being brought up at all. Ezekiel calls him out for ‘coercing women into marrying him’ (10), which yeah, he’s not fully wrong about.

I think the use of the word ‘coerce’, meaning ‘the practice of persuading someone to do something by using force or threats’, really only comes into play for Sherry and Amber because when the choice is be Negan’s wife or let a person you love (Dwight, Amber’s mum) die, there isn’t really a choice and that, despite the fact Negan isn’t specifically saying to them as a threat, ‘If you don’t marry me, I will kill these people you love’, is still close enough to a threat to probably be considered coercion. There might be a better word to explain it because coercion doesn’t feel like it hits it quite right for me but idk, that’s the only word I have so.

Other than it’s made pretty clear that all wives have a choice and he doesn’t threaten to hurt them, they can leave if they want to. Sure, they would be going back to a not as good life, but their choosing to not be Negan’s wives, as far as we know, wouldn’t have as big consequences as it would for Sherry and Amber.

Redemption / How it was handled

If you personally cannot forgive Negan for the way he treated his wives then I think that’s fine but I do think it’s pretty shitty of people to condemn those who are able to forgive him and believe he’s been redeemed. It’s very clear through S9, 10 and 11 that he’s changed a lot from his days at the Sanctuary and in my opinion, while I do think his wives could/should have been brought up more and we should have seen him acknowledge that it was fucked up, he has been redeemed from it.

I kind of see the lack of mention as more of an issue with how the show handled his wives more than with Negan himself, which I know some people will say is me just trying to make the fault not lie on Negan which, if you think that then fine, but that’s not what I feel I’m doing.

S7/8 Negan is pretty clear and says multiple times that those women all have a choice while not acknowledging that for a couple of them, the choice is marriage or the death of a loved one. He also has a clear no rape policy but brags about sleeping with women who hate him and may not actually be happy to sleep with him.

I can and do believe that Negan has grown from those Sanctuary days but I think it was very cowardly of the show to not give us some scenes where Negan is talking to someone about how looking back he knows that agreeing to marry because the other option is death of a loved one is not a choice and then either make him state that he was lying about sleeping with his wives and maybe even go as far as to say the pregnancy test thing was to get a reaction out of Dwight or have it be true that he slept with some of his wives but idk, make it clear he knows that there was a awful power imbalance there and there’s not really a sure way of knowing if they said yes because they wanted to or because they were scared/felt like they had to.

In conclusion

I basically was figuring out my thoughts on this situation as I writing this post up and now that I’m at the end I think I’ve come to the conclusion that while I can see, and agree, that some of the wife stuff is very gross, I think people are sometimes dramatic about it but also the show doesn’t handle it in a very good way so I can see why people either don’t feel he was redeemed well or don’t feel he was redeemable at all. Because, in order to figure out my thoughts on it all, I’ve literally had to make this long ass post, and analyse the few moments we have to make sense of it all. It’s just a mess they could’ve avoided by either being clear somewhere in S9-11 that Negan recognises it was messed up or by just.. doing things differently from the start.

So yeah, I think because of the set up of being Negan’s wife meaning you have a better life, Negan coerced, for lack of a better word, a couple of his wives (Sherry, amber) into marriage because their worse life would have resulted in people they love dying. But for wives like Tanya and Frankie, I don’t think he coerced them.

and in terms of redemption, I believe he is redeemed because I think from the way his character is now, there's no way he would do something like that again but I do think it was a misstep on the show’s part to not make it clear that he not only wouldn’t do that stuff again but also sees that it was wrong to do in the first place and he doesn’t have that same ‘well they mde their choice’ mindset as he did in the past.

Feel free to send me asks or whatever about this post, I’m down to hear if you agree, have more to add or want to share your POV, but, yknow, I know this topic is a rough one within the fandom so try and do so without being nasty idk

#rape mention #negan #negan twd #the walking dead #negan smith #twd txt #also btw the notes i took were only during s7 and s8 #and i just remmebered ezekiel mentioning the wives in s11 #so if theres moments other thn tht then whoops #nataliechats

Hawaiian Symbolism, Morgan, TWD Food Videos, and Emily Being in Savannah

More symbolism and SM convos:

@galadrieljones:

Norman did post something the other day, two young actors who are clearly involved in the spin-off, as they were dressed in like ragged apocalypse clothes. One of them was playing and singing Wonderwall by Oasis on a ukulele and looked a little like that actor.

@wdway:

Ummm, Daryl saw a ukulele in the subway tunnel in Acheron Part 2.

@galadrieljones:

Okay just so much TWD stuff on insta today. They’ve been making these cute little promotional videos by AMC that have humorous themes. Todays was “famous food from the walking dead.” Lots of funny things like Dwight’s club sandwich, Carol’s cookies, Jerry’s cobbler, Negan’s spaghetti, etc. Also featured are Daryl’s snake jerky, with Beth yet again featured saying the line (“Enjoy you snake jerky…”) and also featured was White Trash Brunch from Alone. So much Beth love.

She is the only character to be shown in two different famous food scenes !

True!! The Hawaii reference. Dales RV is like full of Hawaii references, too. Hmm.

Also the Hawaiian dancer on the dash of Isobel’s helicopter? Am I remembering that right?

Or no, the van, the MRAP, has a Hawaiian dancer on the dash.

@wdway:

The hula dancer and also with a ukulele there was a sign saying aloha.

@galadrieljones:

Something important here for sure. Definitely a link to the CRM.

@wdway:

Tarah, what things in Dale's RV that were Hawaiian references?

@galadrieljones:

Trying to find my screenshots!

What Lies Ahead

@wdway

Am I correct in what you said about the food that there were two favorite food clips from Daryl both included Beth?

@galadrieljones:

Yes you are! Snake jerky and white trash brunch.

Here’s a link to the reel! Idk if you can watch without an acct but you can try https://www.instagram.com/reel/CoIom-RPdbp/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

@wdway:

I never noticed. I love that they're all Beth colors.

Thanks for the link I was able to watch. That's so cool. It's as if they want us to associate Daryl with Beth.

@galadrieljones:

Right I was trying to think of other Daryl foods. The peanut butter in Dwight’s room at the sanctuary came to mind. Ofc that’s a callback to white trash brunch.

@wdway:

Definitely or a reminder again of Beth since she's the one in Alone that took the peanut butter.

@galadrieljones:

It’s so devastating. Hearts Still Beating is such a major moment of descent for Daryl. How they corrupt the peanut butter, a Beth symbol, to show how he doesn’t enjoy it. He’s just like shoving it in his mouth for survival. He then kills that guy in cold blood. Peanut butter is also a Morgan thing. Why is he so connected to Beth??

@wdway:

Morgan is definitely connected to Beth. I've always thought he found her when she was left in the car after Grady. But that's a very long ramble that's been rambled many times, haha.

@galadrieljones:

That would definitely be cool. I also feel it means he could see her first, recognize her. Morgan is often seen around arrows and traffic signs. I know I’m a broken record but I see him as a navigator. Like someone to follow closely. He knows the way. I read some of the old theories about how he had gurneys at his hideout.

That maybe he knew about Grady or had heard something about it. Like maybe he and Dwayne were trying to get there. Maybe he was near Atlanta when he found her. Afterward he ended up at Terminus, followed the carvings to the church. I can’t remember if there’s any indication as to where Eastman lives. The woods between Macon and Atlanta seem endless.

It’s always been interesting to me that he encounters Daryl first when he gets to Virginia.

Oh and per Morgan’s arrows, twice they are specifically yellow. There are arrows with yellow fletching in Clear and a big yellow arrow in Eastman’s house. He’s also seen in front of yellow traffic arrows in Good Out Here, the episode of Fear where Nick Clark dies. It’s maybe a yellow brick road reference. But I think it also is meant to conjure out memories of Beth, who wore yellow. Daryl is also seen with the arrows with yellow fletching. They’re at his house in Alexandria near his work bench.

Sorry I said twice above but it’s really three times lol.

@wdway:

It's funny that you see Morgan as a Navigator. I have always thought of him as a prophet which is very similar if you think about it. I just have always felt that there's too many hints around Morgan that relate to Beth that there has to be some type of connection.

I was just thinking the other night with the announcement that this is the last season of Fear and how this is also the first season that they filmed in Savannah, Georgia and how we saw that posting of Beth excuse me Emily taken in Savannah. She said she was in Savannah at a wedding. In the picture she was wearing the same top that she wore on TTD the first time of the two times that she was a guest for s11. We know how she loves to tell us exactly where she is. Unless she doesn't want us to know where she is. I guess all these little things laid up to I really am looking forward to Fear and what it might reveal.

@twdmusicboxmystery:

Same! It would be SOO cool if she showed up in Fear. EVERYone would then tune into the Daryl spin-off bc we would know she was alive but also would know that Daryl doesn’t. That would be awesome!

@galadrieljones:

I also love Morgan as a prophet. With all his breaking the fourth wall instances, he’s like a prophet to tptb. Through a Biblical lens I see him as the prophet Jonah, the original Christ archetype who tried to avoid his responsibilities and ended up being caught in a storm and swallowed by a whale.

Also I agree with you both about Fear. I almost feel it would be too good to be true if she showed up there.

But like I can’t forget how she was in Savannah. And she was wearing that sweater. I remember too it was weird because she posted herself in Savannah, then like a week later she posted herself in a cute dress for her hallmark movie promo tour.

She mentioned specifically she got the dress in Savannah where she had been for a wedding. It just felt weird like that maybe someone had said something, like be careful ppl will pick up on the fact you were in Savannah. And so she felt the need to say why she was there. She never said why she was in Montreal for example. She posts herself in a lot of locations with no explanation. So why Savannah?

@wdway:

I have had the exact same thoughts about Emily mentioning Savannah. It just seem so purposeful of a explanation of why she was where she was when normally she might state where she is without an explanation as you mentioned about her being in Montreal. It almost felt like it was over thought about. How people might realize that she was in Savannah at the same time as Fear was filming and think it was a bit of a coincidence.

It's like someone loudly saying "don't look, don't look" which only makes you look more closely. The other coincidence was in the picture she is wearing the TTD sweater. I don't remember anyone mentioning that she had worn it in many pictures from other locations. Just a lot of litte odd things that makes a person wonder.

Speaking of wondering has there been any more mention of Montreal and what she was working on?

@galadrieljones:

Agreed!! Also per Montreal, there’s been no mention specifically. However she has a new hallmark movie coming out, and I am wondering if that was it.

Hope y’all enjoy weird crossovers and rare pairs >w< Yeah idk why I thought of this but it’s here now.

Warning tho!! There is going to be a wanting to sleep with the fishes exaggeration, along side descriptions of violence. ghostie is a gross and weird lil bastard, with a very fragile ego.

[] When ODST Ghostface and Spartan Trapper actually talk to each other after spending five years on the same ship, they think “man this guy is weird as hell, I want to look at him though a microscope” then you know it’s going to be a great romance :3 []

Jed Olsen (it was actually Danny Johnson) was his name and he was very, very bored. And when he was bored, he does whatever it takes to relieve that boredom. He couldn’t do his regular… “people watching” he needed to lay off it for a while, apparently the rest of his teammates were becoming weary of him, (and with weary eyes that are supposed to make sure you lived long enough that you can drop into hell the next day, well, to say it was important, is a understatement) and he couldn’t have that now.

So stalking the deck of the “death is not an escape” (odd name he knows but it fits.) I was now searching for my new target, maybe pilot Thomas? She was a fast one, always quick to react. Or maybe the intimidating crewman johnsen who was friendly if you look past the natural scowl. Definitely not strode, the girl had a shadow worse than him. Or maybe- that’s when he walked in, “The Trapper” or spartan-116, or if you’re close to him (Danny wasn’t close to anyone, he just liked to know things) Evan.

The Spartan Would be scary without all the extra bits on his armor, an unnecessary sharp tooth grin, scratch glass that Almost resemble beady eyes, and jagged hooks stabbed in his shoulders. He looked the part when the covenant called Spartans “demons” and… he was interesting, in a way I didn’t expect.

He was walking to the man I would never call a captain, Ever, Dwight Fairfield. A nervous man, don’t know how he got the job, Maybe this ship and her crew was just that hopeless. He seemed to squirm under the Spartan’s gaze, holding his hands tightly together (probably to make sure he doesn’t bite his nails like he always does when something “Exciting” happens) I wanted to get closer so I could listen in But they appear to have ended their short chat. aw, right before I could eavesdrop? How rude.

I took my spot on the wall, and was content to wait until my victim could make themselves known.

As I was doing just that, I couldn’t help watching the spartan as he scanned the deck, what for? Did he leave something up here? The guy didn’t like leaving the “Basement” from what I heard (the Basement is what the engineers call this place somewhat under the engine room, it didn’t have a lot of purpose from what I’ve seen, but does give folks the heebie-jeebies) I had to look away, he was… distracting, hmm maybe-

And I seem to have caught his eye because he was walking over, I got off the well and straightened up so I could look him in the eye. Huh, how terrible, he was tall, a lil too tall. Have to turn my head All the way up, and still, I seem to fall short. And then he was asking me something, and how stupid of a question. “Why does your mask look like that?”

I had to laugh, seriously? When he looks like that?? But I don’t laugh, I instead tilt my head. Then straightened it as I replied “Same reason you dolled up your own mask, for intimidating reasons” he hummed at that, and we stood there, staring at each other.

Before he could say anything else we got an alert, probably another ship needing help, so many come and go… it’s a wonder how any one of them survives. Is their ship failing? Was there a mutiny happening?? maybe the covenant is attacking??? God I hope so, it’s been so boring!

You would think Fairfield just had someone kill themselves in front of him with how he’s looking, sweaty, pale, like A dumpster fire… he just looks terrible but that isn’t unusual. He pulls on his collar, brings his hand to his mouth before realizing, and calls up the resident AI.

the “Entity” is an freaky spider amalgamation, don’t know who came up with the design, but it fits with the rest of the freaks here.

And now He awaits the returning ping. As we wait I start to think, wonder what they’ll have for dinner tonight? Hopefully it isn’t meatloaf. Oh? yay they answered. Now what to do? listen in to the conversation? No, I tend to scare the normal folks (good) or maybe I should leave? The crew gets panicky when there’s a problem such as this… I start the way to get out of here, And look who follows, good old Trapper.

I want the door to shut before he could get in, hell, is there a button anywhere?? but the universe is not that fond of me, so now here we were… standing there, side by side… annddd he was staring. God I wish I could poke out his eyes… maybe see if Spartan’s bleed red like the rest of us.

Hmm, gotta save those thoughts for tonight. So I turned to him, and ask “so… watch the game last night?” Probably not, didn’t seem like the type. He looked in thought then tilted his head “what game?” At that I just had to chuckle “I’m not actually talking about a game you know, just trying to start a conversation” I shrugged teasingly, he let out a quiet oh and finally look away, I smirked, huh well what do you know… The spartan was actually embarrassed, that’s… kinda cute.

I felt excited, seems like I have a newfound obsession. Right when I was going to follow up with embarrassing the odd Trapper, the elevators doors opened, seems I’m on my floor. I felt my eye twitch, time to bring on the Olsen. I raise my hand to tap him on the shoulder, the dings sounding off is funny, but not as funny as he quickly turns his head towards me. Seems like not a lot of people touch him, hmm interesting.

I tip my head back in a soft laugh, he’s watching my every move, Good. “Hey if you like, you can have breakfast with me later. They have pancake stuff in the kitchen, if we get there early, we can get a couple” he froze up, and then nodded. God I was smiling, this is going to be amazing, he was like a bug I just put in a jar, confused and wondering why he can’t climb out using the glass wells. I nodded back, and waved as I step in the ODST barracks, god, watching him tilt his head as he lifts his hand is just hilarious, and I actually chuckled as the doors closed before he could even wave.

I nod at those already at their bunks, and walk to my owe, I reach under it and pull out a box, it was full of lil souvenirs from travels that weren’t battlefields. I grab a small Chip, and slid it into my helmet slot, time to empty my suit’s memory, maybe taking a dozen pictures every time Traps looked at me when he thought I didn’t notice wasn’t a great idea, Oh well.

As soon as I was done, we were told to get ready for a fight, I smiled and got my knife.

O0O0O0O0O0O0O0O0O0O0O0O0O0

Ah god, holy fucking shit, I leaned forward and groan. That… All that for a popstar?! I breathe in and stood back up, brushed off imaginary dust, and being reminded that the blood wasn’t imaginary, and breathed out. I go to put my gear in the proper place to get them cleaned, ripping off my helmet with a growl and doing the same to the rest of my armor, then I went to the showers, As I walked in, it was, thankfully, empty. I pulled the rest of my under clothes off and got into a stall, thank god for hot water.

I sigh as I walk out, dressed in sweatpants and a t-shirt, I was ready to kiss the sandman. I passed Amanda and gave her a smile, she rolled her eyes but nodded back. The barracks was filled with my fallows, There was some already sleeping, others playing a card game with a crew member. I let out a small grunt as I sit on my bed, leaning backwards until I could stretch out fully, sighing as I started to close my eyes, thinking of the odd Spartan and all of his quirks. I Wandered into sleep thinking of beady eyes and shark like grin and the way he would sound choking on his own blood…

End

Hope y’all like this cuz I had fun ^w^ and this is just part one!! So watch out 😏

Jenna Pam's going to walk back to her desk, which is very confusing to Jim, because he was pretty sure that she was sitting at her desk. But it's not her. It's Dwight in a Pam wig wearing Pam's sweater. And he starts pelting Jim with snowballs.

Angela Yeah, we find out, I guess, that Dwight has wigs for every person in the office because you just never know.

Jenna Mm hmm.

Angela I have a question for you.

Jenna What is it?

Angela Was that really Pam's sweater or did they get him another sweater?

Jenna No, they squeezed him into my sweater.

Angela Okay.

Jenna Yes. The arms were very, very tight on him. Both Mindy and Kim Ferry talked about this wig sequence on OfficeTally.com. Mindy said, When I was writing this episode, I just thought how funny Rainn would look in a Meredith wig. And my stage direction for him was he, quote, Whips around like a dramatic hamster. She said, The Stanley is probably my favorite because of the way Rainn held up the crossword puzzle with so much seriousness. Kim Ferry said that the direction she was given was that these wigs should not be perfect because Dwight would have made them himself on the farm. So they're a little bit off, but a close match. She also said that we did all those shots in really quick order, and that she and Sherri Perry would rush in and put a new wig on, get the shot, and then do the next one. It was all really fast. I think we were on a deadline.

Angela Well, you'll see some great reactions of everyone because we were just reacting as ourselves. Again, watch Phyllis's face as John gets pelted. And Jenna, I'm just going to need to know for future reference, what is a dramatic hamster?

I thought of something cute!! How about some headcanons for how some survivors would react to a makeshift proposal from their S/O? Probably using some ring they borrowed from a killer nice enough to offer one. No real marriage, just a show of dedication.

Dwight, Leon, and Renato are my personal picks, but feel free to choose whoever you want to write for! Cheers and have a good day!!

Hmm, I think I can do that. I'm going to switch it to the Reader proposing.

When the Reader proposes.

Dwight, Leon, Renato

Dwight Fairfield

Well, the first step is getting the ring.

As strange as it may seem, Evan is the one who will offer to make it.

He has plenty of supplies.

And, he's old school, so he considers getting married as a priority and the right thing to do.

He's still going to kill you later but, you know, here's a favor.

Once you have that you're going to have to have a few people around.

Calmer people who will help him when he inevitably faints.

Because he will.

That's a guarantee.

And no killers.

He's just too skittish.

Jane, Felix, and maybe Bill will be on standby.

You don't have to be super traditional with Dwight.

No need to get on one knee.

Just tell him.

But make the moment special.

Maybe find an area that's semi isolated.

Try to decorate with some lights and flowers if possible.

And, he fainted.

Luckily Felix and Bill were there to catch him.

Leon S Kennedy

You can drop as many hints as you want.

He's clueless though

He loves you.

He loves you so much!

It isn't that he's an idiot.

But he's dense.

So Sally is going to hand you a ring and just tell you to go for it.

Because it is awkward for everyone.

And it's really hard to watch.

So please get it over with.

It doesn't really matter where you do it.

Just maybe not during a trial.

You're going to have to be super obvious with him.

Make it super traditional.

Get on one knee.

Make it super romantic.

Otherwise he won't know it's a proposal.

It's still going to take him a moment to process this.

Oh?

Oh! You're asking him to marry you?

He did not see this coming.

Oblivious angel.

But he isn't going to say no.

Renato Lyra

He may look like your stereotypical brainless surfer guy.

But he isn't.

He's highly intelligent.

He loves you.

And when you start dropping hints he gets suspicious.

Work with Thalita.

Both of them have that super close sibling relationship.

Tell her before you do anything so she can help make it a surprise.

"Sister, has s/o been acting different lately?"

"No. Must be your imagination."

Oh she totally knows.

She's going to help you make this special.

Essentially, she'll be as much a part of it as you.

She's going to go out of her way to find you everything he loves.

Favorite foods, favorite flowers, favorite music, etc.

She'll even manage to steal you a ring.

And she won't tell you where.

She really just wants to see her baby brother happy.

He was bullied through his childhood.

Finally seeing him really love and care about someone just fills her heart.

You don't have to be traditional.

Tell him, put the ring on his finger, and watch as you're nearly thrown into the air with his hug.

Generation VIII Pokemon Nicknames, Part 1

I might as well see this through and get "caught up" in a sense, even if this one is years late.

... And let's see how many Yakuza/Starcraft references make it... And again, I'll only nickname those that I can see myself making, and if I can come up with a nickname.

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

Grass drummer, huh? Hmm... "Dalin". Read as Dal-in, the Korean-hanja term for an expert/master. If read in Japanese, it would be read as Tatsujin. So this is a Taiko no Tatsujiin reference, which is apparently an actual standalone game, but I only know it from a Club Sega arcade minigame in Yakuza 5.

Hey, I know this one! A sportsman fire bunny! No problem. I'll call it "Tennis Ace". But it's supposed to be a soccer pl- It's tennis now. Tennis Ace the job in Yakuza 8. ... So that's 2 for 2...

... Hmm... those are good stats for an Sp. Atk focused guy. Power creep? Ahem. So it's a Water type chameleon? Ability Sniper. Fascinating. And it's even blue, like a certain someone who appeared in my top favorites ranking. So this guy obvious gets the nickname of "Ghost". As a chameleon, I'd imagine this guy can blend into the background, like a Terran Ghost with Cloak research, and Ghosts carry sniper rifles. Even had the ability Snipe in Starcraft II, which was later changed to Steady Targeting, which everyone calls Snipe anyways.

That's... a fat squirrel. Has the Spd stat to match. I would never make one. If I did, I'd probably call it "FatRat", who... I think is a Halo speedrunner? Pro? Something like that? I don't know that scene very well.

A Flying/Steel, and not a Steel/Flying, so this thing would end up in my Flying Box instead of the Steel one. ... If I made this thing for whatever reason. This is like a more well-rounded Skarmory, which isn't a good thing, so... I would not make one.

... That looks like a Megaman boss. I used to watch my cousin play X4 and X5. I think it's from one of those. Hmm... high defensive stats, low HP, Bug typing... not ideal, so... nope.

Dex filler fodder minion. Pass.

Another defensive thing with low HP. Since I'm not studying each Pokemon extensively and instead, just glancing at the stats and typing, I wouldn't know the full extent of Pokemon capabilities. This one... meh. Could be strangely useful like Whimsicott, but Whimsicott has Prankster. This one doesn't. So... pass. That said, the spore on its back kind of looks like a cross between a golf ball and a baseball, so I might've called this things as "Bolf".

A fodder sheep-ram? I would've called it "Sham" but... I would never bother.

Another fodder. So far there's been a lot of crap that I wouldn't bother with, so I retract that power creep comment.

Hmm... decent dog. A faster, weaker Luxray? ... I got nothing.

A pile of coal. Hmm. The Japanese name sounds like "mountain of coal". So this is like a beefed up Magcargo. Which isn't good, since that thing sucks. Well, that's unfortunate.

Huh, the Apple Dragon is back. Or rather, it was here first then appeared again as a better Dragon in Generation IX. So if I named that better Dragon as "Invaluable", does that mean this one would be named (if at all) as "Unvaluable"?

Ehh...

Fodder.

Hey, this is that Kilo that Shield has! I remember this thing's insanely focused stats! A barracuda eh? Hmm... I might call this as "Machete". In Yakuza 8, there's a gang called the Barracudas, whose boss is Dwight Mendez, and his boss battle theme is Twin Machetes.

Hey, another thing that Shield has. I'll call it "Declawed". Because I thought for certain that this thing had claws when I wrote the short story, and it turned out it didn't.

Ugh. Massive centipede... Crap stats, so... pass.

Not a Water type? Huh. ... "Careful. There's no escaping this guy's headlock. He kind of sucks you in." This thing looks interesting, but... 42 Spd. Nope. Unfortunately, this is the kind of thing that pops up in a Battle Tower-esque thing that promptly gets one-shotted by my vanguard Salamence and only serves as fodder for Moxie.

Another Cuphead name? Um... I think there's a teapot somewhere in that game, so... that name?

29 Spd. Why is everything so f*cking slow, or insanely fast? The hell is thing is supposed to be, anyways? 136 Sp. Atk so I'd probably make one, but exclusive for Trick Room? I don't know.

60 Spd. Another slow-ass dude. It has Prankster, but... blech.

An armored Linoone? Finally, something with a respectable Spd stat. Not too high, not too low. Too bad the rest of thing sucks.

That thing looks like a Meowth who's seen some sh*t. ... 50 Spd. Nope.

Looks like this Corsola fought its way out of a Toxapex's stomach and reclaimed what was left of its body. 145 Sp. Atk is ridiculous, and 130 Sp. Def is amazing, but 50 Def and 60 HP with 30 Spd means it dies immediately to any Ghost or Dark type that has a physical attack. Boo. So this would be one of those things that I make but never use. "Leftovers".

Hey, Sword's Pokemon! That useless ass bird finally got a purpose. 65 Spd... ... It will finally get made, and then get stuffed in a box for eternity. "Short Legs". Because one, it has short legs, and two, this is kind of like a Zealot in Starcraft if you forget the Leg Enhancement upgrade from the Citadel of Adun. Or the Charge upgrade from the Twilight Council in Starcraft II. Yeah, it has a lot of damage output, but... it needs to reach the target first.

Last one for this part. And another one of Sword's Pokemon. An English gentleman Pokemon, huh? ... If I recall, there are Gentleman type enemy trainers in Pokemon games, and so this guy is that class Pokemon-fied. Thus I will call this thing as... "Sujimon".
