Nancy Drew 2x11 Review/Thoughts

Spoilers!!!

Also a spoiler for season seven on agents of shield which i wasn’t going to say anything about but it is a spoiler so

this is also longer than usual sorry

Okay I need to stop watching Nancy Drew in the middle of class but also I’m so excited

Wait we’re already starting out with Nick not having any memories?

That’s cool

Okay Nancy’s address is written on Nick’s hands so something tells me this isn’t the first time this has happened

Oh no it’s Celia

Ryan is not doing a very good job at being surprised I’ve got to say

“You’re a millionaire!!!” Bess is so cute

Tunji Kasim is doing an amazing job being confused

Ace is mad??? This is so weird also Nancy looks so hurt

Did George call Nancy a lying millionaire who couch hops and has no home? She’s not wrong but also ouch.

Family meeting awww I need more of Ryan, Carson, and Nancy being a family

Ladies who Yacht? I’m sorry what? How did Ryan say that with such a straight face?

“I’m not... not you guys” Nancy is wonderful also I love how she had to assure Ryan and Carson that they’re not grandparents

ACE’S MOM AHHHH

She’s exactly how I imagined her

“Acey” that’s adorable

“Fully noshed thank you” I love Ace

“You’re not food free Grant” ahhhh these writers need a raise and Alex needs one too he’s so good at these lines

Murder? What?

It’s so strange to see Nick go from the rock to the one who needs help

Nancy holding Ace’s phone while he also holds his phone better not be the only nace moment we get today

Vikings?

Whoa I was not paying attention to Nancy where did those binoculars come from?

Okay I just rewound they came from her bag that makes sense

“Did I mention you were a mechanic before you bought a restaurant?”

What’s coming for Nick?

Can’t these guys catch a break?

The most unrealistic thing about the Drew Crew is how they all know which seat to take in the car. It that were my friends it wouldn’t matter what was happening there would be a three way argument for the front seat.

Maybe I just need better friends who knows

This thing is a little creepy

What kind of text tone does Ace have? It sounds like those creepy clown car horns

The Captain is a much better contact name than Dad

I wonder what Nancy’s contact name is on his phone

Who names their kid Aristotle?

Aww Nick fixed the wobbly chairs in Ace’s house 🥺🥺

Watching Nick break down about accidentally killing that guy is making me cry they did this so well

Tunji Kasim needs an Emmy my god

“Can someone sign my time card?” poor grant just wants to get his work done and these guys are snapping at him and ignoring him

“Hold it down Grant” has never felt more appropriate

Nancy... people have this societal thing called personal space

I love how she stays a respectful distance from Bess and George and she’s practically leaning on Ace.

That guy is his roommate and hates him? Why would anyone choose to live like that? That’s like deciding you want a sibling

Nancy sounding the horn and then shouting “Get in” to a very confused Celia is the peak of comedy and no I won’t be accepting any comments about this

Did Nancy just... erase Celia’s memories?

What?

“I trolled Aristotle so I wouldn’t kill him” that doesn’t seem like logical reasoning there Mr. I-Already-Forgot-Your-Name

Looks like Mr. I-Already-Forgot-Your-Name is the annoying roommate

“Is it because you’re ashamed of me?” did not have to be so painful

Again, this guy needs an award

Is Celia being nice? I kind of really like this can she stay this way?

“Is Nick going to come back part Celia?” is a very good question

Nancy has an answer to every question why has no one pointed this out yet?

Celia is very adorable like this she does not need to be so excited by an umbrella

Ryan is rightfully very confused but also resigned? Does he just expect this from Nancy now?

“This is a terrible podcast” amen Ace

Okay so clearly you aren’t supposed to know the god’s name

“Was that me?” god bless Bess

Okay so no one knows who is who

Did Ace and Nancy appear from the same place?

“What like a heat emergency?” at least Bess is consistent

Snow!!

Okay so they’ve done this before clearly

Did they really write that Ace is a deep soul? They’re right but also... is that pivotal at the moment?

“I have a dead French lady inside me” I love George

“hey” “hi” Nick and George are very accepting of the fact that they are dating and it’s so cute

George accepting that she said so is great I love her confidence

Also whose handwriting is whose? Idk why I care but I do

“I’m not sure if that’s a last name or a first name” Yeah Ace what IS your last name? (kidding it’s Hardy I’ve predicted it)

Awww call back to the first episode with Ace’s crush

And the second with his acceptance that they aren’t going to be a couple

“Which one of you is Nancy?” that made my little shipper heart very sad

Also George’s wordless point was funny for no reason

Water gunning with holy water? Yep that was gonna work

Clearly sixth time was not the charm

Slingshot-ing steak knives? That had to have been Ace’s idea

That cut! What was that cut! That was amazing!

I’m really hoping that at some point in their memory-less state either Nancy or Ace starts flirting because how cute would that be?

I’m thinking like,,, the Daisy/Sousa kiss in the time loop episode of Agents of Shield that would be wonderful

Ace as bait??? That was an idea?? Why didn’t we see that one?

They’re dancing awww

“I like you” “I think I like you too” awww it’s so bittersweet to see what Nancy’s life could have been also they look really similar

Oof looks like they are out of memory eraser, sad

Nancy and Ace look so good together

I love how Nancy looks back at Ace instead of Bess who is right next to her

“DON’T TRUST ODETTE she will mess with you” is fantastic

Disease? That’s what killed them?

Did Nancy just finish Ace’s sentence?

“social media savant” queen

Nick lied to go eat ice cream? Seems solid I’d do the same

You’ve got to be kidding me? All of this could have been avoided if Aristotle had just not said anything?

Wow that was dramatic but also really impressive I guess

“You’re my daughter” 🥺🥺

He’s moving back home!!!

That hugggggg

Can we just keep Celia this way she’s so sweet

I really want Celia to just... accept Nancy as her granddaughter how amazing would that be?

“But I like it when you go on and on. It doesn’t happen that much anymore”

Okay sure, I didn’t need my heart anyway

Imagine a little like, preteen Ace chatting away constantly to his parents that would be so cute

I love the music in this show

Ace’s mom is amazing and she’d totally love Nancy if she ever dated Ace

Also according to the subtitles on my laptop her name is Rebecca

Aaaand Celia is still telling Everett of course she is

Nick and George are moving in together!!!! This is not a drill ahhhhhh

Awww a housewarming party how freaking adorable is that?

Lmao Nick bought the whole thing

GRANT IS THE BROTHER???

And he needs help

Okay

That’s cool

That was a really good episode

Please enjoy 😊

Steve was sitting on his couch, like usual his parents weren’t home. When Steve saw me he started to clam up, it immediately made my suspicions shoot sky high. He either was up to something or he did something he did without asking me. I guess I was about to find out which one it was.

“Hey Steve how was your day babe?”

Steve looked at me, smiled slightly, shrugging his shoulders at me.

“It was okay I just missed you at school today.”

I smiled, I walked over to him.

“Awe baby it’s okay I just had a doctors appointment, but I’ll be there tomorrow.”

I smiled at him, I plopped on the couch beside him. I leaned on his shoulder, he kissed my forehead letting out a sigh.

“So Babe I might as well tell you I told some of our friends we’d go to a party they are throwing on Halloween.”

I lifted my head up off of him, I let out a groan.

“Steve, why would you do that? You know how I feel about your friends. Are Nancy and Johnathan gonna go?”

He looked down at me, shrugged his shoulders. He ran his fingers through his hair, stood up from the couch, walked over to the phone then punched in the numbers.

“Hey Johnathan Y/N was wondering if y’all were going to the party tonight?”

“Oh okay well I’ll tell her. Yeah alright I’ll see you around bye.”

Steve hung the phone up, he turned to look at me.

“Sorry babe they can't, they already had plans.”

“It’s okay I’ll guess I’ll just go for you babe.”

He kissed my lips, then walked to the kitchen. I stood up, walked into the kitchen kissing his lips.

“You owe me Harrington.”

It was finally Halloween, Steve and I had woken up early enough to go get last minute pieces for our costumes. We had a party to go to tonight. It was at an abandoned farm, a couple of our friends were going, so we’re we. Now it was out of town, but Steve and I didn’t mind. Plus it was a weekend so neither one of us was worried about school, or homework. Steve and I were surprising each other with what we were going to be. I was going as Madonna, all I knew told me he was going to look hot. Which I already knew, I mean not that he needed to try to look hot. He was already hot well at least to me, every other girl at Hawkins.

So you can imagine the disappointment the girls had when they found out we were dating. Steve was currently in our bathroom changing, I was in the hallway bathroom changing. I heard footsteps go past the bathroom, stopping right in front of the door then I heard Steve's voice.

“Hey babe I’ll be in the living room when you get ready.”

“Okay Steve I’ll see you in a few.”

I finished my hair, I pulled on my skirt some. I then unlocked the bathroom door, I stepped out into the hallway. I walked into the living room, I saw Steve my eyes widen as the sleeves of his shirt hugged his arms, god it made me wanna hop his bones. I had more self control than that though, but Steve on the other hand his mouth was gaped open. His eyes were looking all around my body, he smiled at me and walked over to me.

“Y/N you look hot.”

My cheeks heated up, Steve kissed my cheek. Steve and I walked out the front door, he locked up, and we were off to the car. Something felt off, but I just shrugged it off. I mean a lot of bad things happened in Hawkins so I had to get used to not feeling completely okay anymore. As we drove closer and closer to the party I felt like we should be heading in the other direction. At the same moment a car sped past us, laid on his horn which made me jump halfway off my seat. Steve had looked at me, put his hand on my thigh.

“Hey Y/N are you okay?”

I looked over at him, nodded my head.

“Yeah Steve I’m fine I just… there’s just a feeling inside of me that we shouldn’t be going to this party.”

“Oh okay princess well if you want to go home we can.”

I looked at him, smiled and shook my head at him.

“No no it’s okay I’m sure I’m just being dramatic.”

He looked at me, raised his eyebrows.

“Are you sure cause I don’t mind turning around.”

“No no Steve it’s okay I promise I’m fine.”

“Okay if you insist Y/N.”

The rest of the car ride was pretty fun, it honestly eased my mind. It was like Steve was my anxiety cure.

I couldn’t ask for a better way to help calm me. When we pulled up to the barn my anxiety was back. The barn was a brick red like it had just been painted. The house was also kept in good condition I mean besides the grass. I’d love to live here with Steve one day but I honestly didn’t want to rush it.

College was in two years, I didn’t want to go to a different college as Steve I wanted us to be with each other. I gripped Steve’s hand tightly, he looked down at me. He smiled, kissed my forehead and I took a deep breath. The farm was beautiful except the grass which looked like it hadn’t been cut in a few months, It just looked abandoned. Steve and I walked into the back yard, we saw The huge corn field. It was really intimidating.

The only people I knew here were Emma, Josh, Tommy H, Carol, Jack, Ashley, Steve and I, but people sure did show up. If I had to guess I would say at least 500 students had showed up. I saw all types of costumes, I was excited but one guy held my attention. He was standing against the drink table, he was just staring at everyone. He wasn’t interacting, but he was probably one of the guys who thought they were too cool to party.

As the night went on the party had died down slowly but surely. Steve and I were slow dancing, he looked down at me, he smiled pushing some of my now deflated hair out of my face.

“I told you, you’d have a fun time Y/N.”

I looked up at him, let out a drunken snort.

“Did you basically just tell me you told me so Harrington?”

He cracked a smile, kissed my lips.

“Maybe I did, maybe I didn’t.”

Steve kissed me again then pulled away, he got close to my ear and raised his voice so he could be heard over the music. I nodded my head. I watched him drunkenly stumble away, after he stumbled a little bit into the corn I felt eyes on me. At first I convinced myself that I was just over reacting, but then the feeling became stronger. Not only did I feel eyes on me but I felt tension. So I turned around and I saw him. It was the same guy who was leaning on the drink table. He was just staring at me. I smiled lightly, waved at him. He turned away from me, he walked into the cornfield.

*Killers pov*

I heard a car door shut, I walked to the side of the window. I barely looked out of it, I saw a group of teenagers walking towards the cornfield. I grabbed my knife, as the last kid went into the cornfield I followed them. They had walked about a mile and a half into the field. When they finally got to the party area I saw four huge speakers around the perimeter, the music was blaring. There were drinks being poured, food being eaten. I watch from behind the corn, I’d figured I’d show these kids how to party.

It took awhile for the other teenagers to separate from one another, I knew who my victims were going to be. A young guy who didn't look any older than 17 wandered off, I quickly followed him. It’s not like anyone knew I was here, I knew the paths in the corn maze because I lived here. I grabbed my knife, while he was peeing I walked up behind him slitting his throat from ear to ear. I watched his lifeless carcass lay there unable to move, I watched the life slowly fade out of his eyes. I drug his body where I knew no one would look.

After I knew his body wouldn’t be recovered I went back to the group, I hid the knife in my hoodie pocket. I walked over to the drink table, that’s when I saw a Y/H/C haired girl with a brown haired boy. The girl was staring at me. She smiled tightly, continuing with their night. Little did they know mine just started and it wasn’t going to end anytime soon. I drank a few drinks, I saw the girl that was with the guy I killed went looking for him. I knew she was going to be my next victim, I didn’t have any remorse about who I killed. I didn’t care who I was taking them from.

I can just say they all were at the wrong place at the wrong time. I had only one goal and that was to kill them all. There was a couple here who I knew would be my last victims, and that was the boy dressed as Han Solo and the girl dressed as Madonna. They looked like they’d be fun to torture, but the only question was which one of them would be my last victim? My focus was back on the girl who was dressed as some work out girl. I snuck up behind her, I covered her mouth stabbing her in the back. I slid the knife out, jammed it back in.

After her body went limp I let her hit the floor, I drug her body further in the shed. I cut off her hands, then I continued to dismember her body. When I was done I cleaned myself off, the knife when I rejoined the party, no one seemed to notice that two of their friends had disappeared. I noticed some of the kids started to leave as it got later, I was honestly relieved when I saw my planned victims still here. So I decided it was officially time to play. I loved playing cat and mouse especially with people who had no idea that they were the mouse.

As the night went on the more teenagers died. I made some of my own Halloween decorations. One kid was my official scarecrow, let’s just say he was definitely going to scare people away. His death was my favorite death so far. The way his neck cracked when I broke it gave me a thrill, the way I felt him struggle against me made my adrenaline race. I wanted more, I needed more and I was far from done. There were only six teenagers left. Four girls and four guys, but I had to be smart about this if I just popped out they could all take me on easily. So I went into the bar, I grabbed the knife. After getting that I circled around to the front of the house where their cars were parked, walked up to their cars digging my knife into all sixteen tires.

Now they were stuck here with me, the best part was they didn’t have a clue. I snuck back to the party, I noticed a couple was missing. I went to the bar, grabbed the Axe that was hanging near the handsaw, pitchfork. I walked out the back of the barn, came face to face with a guy. Before he could even think I swung the axe, his head went flying across the yard, near the huge oak tree. The girl which I’m guessing is his girlfriend came out from the other side of the shed, when she saw her boyfriend's head near the tree she screamed. I quickly walked over to her, punched her in the face striking her left temple.

I drug her body to the root of the three, and start stomping her head on the root. I could hear her teeth break as I stomped, I picked her head up by her hair, and started viciously beating her face against the tree. It was satisfying to hear her nose break. The more I beat her face the more her bones broke. Soon enough as blood trailed from her eyes, mouth, and ears her skull cracked, pieces of Brain went all over the place. At this point I didn’t need to hide the bodies anymore. They couldn't escape even if they tried, I picked up the axe I had, then I put more of the teenagers bodies up as decorations. I cut the guy's eyes out, I used him as a Jack O’lantern. I sat the girl at a table that was in another section of the cornfield.

I guess you could say it was like a maze, but these teenagers were smart. They knew their way in and out of an easy corn maze, but what they weren’t expecting was their friends to be so hands on with the maze. Now all I had to do was lure the last two couples away from my last two victims, I was good to go. I walked into the corn maze, back to the party. I whispered something, the drunk girl turned towards me, I backed up into the corn maze. Of course she followed me, the alcohol made her curious and it got the best of her.

As soon as she stepped into the corn I killed her. As I drug her towards the table with the good China on it I sat her in the chair. Sitting her up as a decoration, I fixed the fingers that I chopped off and put them on a plate, I used the other empty plate for their ears. Now we just needed “tea” to finish the decorations, so that’s what I intended to do next. As I snuck back to the cornfield a guy saw me, I was covered in blood. He immediately took notice. He told his friends, but they didn’t believe him in fact they laughed at him. The guy got mad, walked off.

As he walked off I heard my last two victims talking to my next two.

“Can you believe that guy Tommy?”

“Yeah I know Steve he really thinks we are that stupid to feed into his Halloween prank?”

I didn’t hear the rest cause I walked away. I knew the last two guys' names were Tommy, and Steve. I heard footsteps near me, I turned seeing the guy who had walked off immediately. He hit me, I tasted a rich copper taste in my mouth. I quickly wiped at my lip, struck him in the throat. As he was gasping for air I grabbed his head, I raised my knee slamming his face directly into the center of my knee. The force sent his body back, he was lying on his back. I grabbed his feet, drug him to the same exact spot I did the last girl, but when he started to wake up I punched him in his temple, I opened his mouth, cut out his tongue. I leaned him over the big tea pot, let the blood flow into it.

As soon as I felt his pulse slowing down I dressed him up in overalls, put a straw hat on him. I dressed the other two couples up to match him, I knew it was time to get this over with. I poured the blood in each cup, I put their hands on the tea cups. I walked back to the shed, grabbed a few weapons that would make this process faster, but how they died would still be on my terms. I grabbed the pitchfork, I hid it under some of the hay that was in the maze. After setting the next few traps it was time to reveal myself, I was near the entrance of the party. The first to see me was the girl dressed as Madonna. She grabbed the boy dressed as Han Solo, then he got the attention of the other two. As soon as they all saw me I pulled out the machet.

it took them a minute to figure out why I had a machete, but when they did I could see the panic set in. They split up, I couldn’t have been happier. My focus wasn’t on Steve and the girl, but it was focused on Tommy and his girlfriend. I walked towards them, they ran down the other opening of the maze, well I knew that was going to happen, I followed them. Tommy was running, I just stood there. I knew what was going to happen, sure enough it happened. Tommy had tripped on some fishing line I put up, his face met my pitchfork. His girlfriend let out a scream, I heard the other two calling For her.

“Carol? Carol where are you?”

Carol looked at me, wiped the tears from her cheeks.

“Why are you Doing this?”

I smirked at her, I walked slowly towards her.

“Oh carol you think I need a motive? It’s scarier when you don’t have one.”

I smiled at her, she took off. I ran after her though. She was almost close enough to grab. so I pushed her down, but when I turned her around she threw dirt in my face, kneed me in the balls. I immediately dropped, wiped the dirt out of my eyes. As soon as my vision came back I stood up, and was on the hunt. As soon as I turned the corner Carol popped out, smacked me with a wood beam. This little bitch wasn’t going down without a fight, if it was a fight she wanted it was a fight I was going to give her. When she went to swing the beam again I ducked, and stabbed her in the leg.

She let out a scream, I stabbed her in the cheek. As I pulled the knife out she grabbed her cheek, spit blood in my face. I grabbed her by her hair, she was a fighter but she wouldn’t win against me. I brought her back to the shed, I lined her up with the hook that was hanging in the shed, I lifted her up then shoved her body on the hook. She let out a gut wrenching scream, I put the wood chipper under her. I went to look for the other two.

*Readers pov*

I ran with Steve, we hid behind the tractor. I heard Carol scream, I jumped slightly grabbing Steve's hand. Tears had formed in my eyes when I heard her scream. He was touring her. Steve had peaked around the tree, saw him going into the cornfield. Next thing I knew we were heading towards the shed. We saw Carol hanging, my hand flew over my mouth. I couldn’t imagine the pain she was in, Steve and I went over to her, she was limp. When we started trying to get her down she let out a scream. I jumped slightly, Steve was trying to get her to be quiet. As soon as Steve almost got her down the woodchipper turned on.

As soon as Steve had gotten Carol down she struggled and he lost his grips her body went into the woodchipper, blood flew all over me. I closed my eyes as her warm blood flew all over me. As soon as I opened them I saw pieces of her body all over the place. As soon as I went to say something the back of the shed was kicked open, there was the killer. Steve grabbed my hand, ran towards the cars. As soon as we got there we saw the tires were flat. Steve looked at me, I looked towards the house.

“Steve we need to get into the house.”

Steve looked at me, raised his eyebrow.

“Y/N are you crazy that’s the first place he’s going to look.”

I let out a sigh, then looked at Steve.

“Well Steve we don’t really have much of an option now do we?”

He sighed then nodded his head.

“Alright let’s go, quickly so he doesn’t know where we went.”

As we walked up the porch Steve had grabbed the door knob, the door opened. It felt too easy, I was right as soon as we opened the door the killer grabbed me. Steve looked at us both, then put his hands in the air.

“Hey, hey she’s an easy kill you don’t want her. If you want someone who’s going to give you a fight it’s me.”

As soon as Steve had the killer's attention I stomped on his toe, head butted him slamming the side of my head into him, when he let go I faced him, kicked him in the knee cap making him fall. His knee hit the step, his chin hit the top step. Steve and I rushed inside, shut the door. Steve ran into the kitchen, I was right behind him. Steve grabbed a knife, I couldn’t find a weapon. So I grabbed a cast iron skillet. As soon as the killer stepped into the kitchen I swung the skillet with all my might and hit him right in the face.

He stumped back grabbing his nose as it started to bleed. He grabbed the knife that was in his pocket, threw it at me. It hit my leg and it got stuck. I dropped the Iron skillet, quickly pulled out the knife. I let out a scream, I dropped the knife and limped over to the killer. He grabbed my ankle, I turned towards him and lifted up my leg. I swung my leg back, I kicked him right in the jaw. He let go of my leg, I limped up the stairs. When I turned around Steve was behind me, I started down the stairs.

When I got down to them I saw The killer trying to get into the pantry where I assumed Steve was. Let out a scream to get his attention which worked, then he was after me. I hopped up the stairs as fast as I could, I felt him grab at my costume, as soon as I went to get away from him he punched me in the back causing me to fall. He turned me around, I kicked him down the stairs. I scrambled to my feet, I limped down the hallway into a room. I walked into the room, I shut the door. The floorboards would freak the more weight I put on them.

I tried to walk as quietly as I could, but with this leg injury it was nearly impossible. I heard the door knob wiggle, I limped over to the closet. Walking in it but before I could get in it two skeletons fell out the closet, I let out a scream. The door busted open, I whipped around looking face to face with the killer. I took in a deep breath, looked at him.

“If you want me here I am mother fucker get it over with.”

He ran at me, tackled me out the door. We landed on the balcony, he leaned over me wrapping his hands around my throat, I started struggling against him. I saw a piece of the door on the floor, I reached for it but I couldn’t get it. I finally came to grips that I wouldn’t see Steve anymore. I wouldn’t see my little brother, I wouldn’t see my mother. I wouldn’t see another day again. This is how it was going to end and I was fine with it.

As soon as I gave into the idea of death his grip loosen around my throat, I opened my eyes to see him and Steve fighting. All I had to do was look at Steve to get that fighting spirit back, that was because Steve looked like shit. He had blood on running down his lip, his once white sleeve was now soaked red. I grabbed the largest part of the door and it had a rusty nail poking out of it. I picked it up, I swung as hard as I could. I heard a thump then I heard another thump. I walked to the edge of the balcony, I looked down to see the killer laying there. He wasn’t moving, Steve had put his arm around my shoulder, I looked at him then smiled.

“Let’s go home please.”

“Fine by me baby.”

Steve and I walked down the stairs, out the front door I walked to the car, I grabbed my purse out of it. Then I started walking down the driveway when it hit me. The other cars probably had spare tires in them. I looked at Steve, told him they probably had spare tires in the back. We walked back to the cars, I opened Steve’s trunk while he went to find something to get the other cars trunks open. As soon as I turned to get out the car the killer had grabbed my throat and began to choke me. I grabbed my purse, I got my pepper spray out, I sprayed him in the eyes. when he let go I gasped for breath, I grabbed the Jack I stepped out of the car, I hit him in his face with the Jack knocking him out.

When Steve came back he had rope along with a crowbar, I looked at Steve, he looked at the killer on the ground.

“W-what happened?”

I looked at him, took in a breath.

“Well I thought he was dead but apparently not so I knocked him out with the Jack, give me the rope so I can tie him up.”

When he handed me the rope I grabbed the jack to the car and hit him again. I turned him on his stomach, I tied up his arms along with his feet. After an hour or so of Steve opening the trunks and changing the tires. The killer finally came to. He started struggling, I walked over to him and I kicked him in the face.

“Steve I think I saw a gas station down the road when we came here. Drive down there and call the cops.”

He looked at me, he shook his head.

“Y/N I’m not leaving you here with him. What if he gets loose?”

I looked at Steve, I smirked.

“Then the cops will have another body to take to the morgue.”

He nodded then got in the car and started up. He put the car in reverse and took off. I let out a breath of air, I heard him laughing. I walked over to him, I turned him on his back.

“What the fuck is so funny?”

He looked at me, he spit on me. I stood back up, I kicked him in the stomach. He let out a groan, he started laughing again. I got pissed, I stood up and started kicking him. He continued to laugh as I kicked him but he started choking, When he coughed hard He coughed up blood.

“Not so funny now is it?”

He looked at me, he smiled.

I stood back up, I heard Steve pull back up. He got out of the car, looked at me.

“Y/N get away from him.”

“Yeah Y/N get away from me, be a good girl for Steve.”

I kicked him in the face again, just as I went to kick again Steve pulled me away from him.

About fifteen minutes later the police showed up. After they discovered all the bodies they arrested the killer, they started reading him his rights. They took us to the ambulance, I heard one of the officers say his name, I looked at Steve and he nodded at me. I called an officer over, I looked at him.

“Officer did he say why he did that to my friends.”

He looked at me and moved his hat some.

“Well miss Y/L/N Brandon escaped from the mental hospital and it took your friends and you to come here to hit a nerve.”

I nodded my head, I watched him walk back to the squad car. When they were pulling he looked at us smiling, I smiled back and then flicked him off.

“Happy Halloween Brandon.”

Three days after we got out of the hospital Steve and I had got back to his house Steve and I were sitting on the couch snuggled up watching a movie, I kissed his cheek.

“Thank you.”

He smiled at me then looked at me.

“For what?”

I looked at him, shrugged.

“For not leaving me.”

He smiled at me, kissed my lips.

“Y/N you’re the love of my life I couldn’t ever leave you.”

I smiled, I took in a deep breath. We would recover from this but it would take a while, but I knew with Steve by my side that would be completely possible.

A/N: thank you guys for reading this I’m really proud of it. I hope you guys liked it.

I was tagged by @swordmastersokkas and @superhero-bastards, thanks guys! <3

Rules: Choose any three fandoms and answer the questions, then tag some friends!

I choose: well, the last three fandoms that I reblogged onto my blog because I would have sat here for 30 minutes choosing otherwise.

The Umbrella Academy

9-1-1

Stranger Things

The first character you loved:

idk who was the first sibling to grace my screen probably....Diego? He seems like he’s very much my type?? Yeah okay I think it went, “Diego is exactly the type of character I lo-THE GHOST BROTHER IS THERE????” when I tell you that my brain cells went straight out the window.....

Oooh I do believe it would be Bobby. He just gave off soft dad vibes and I absolutely adored that.

Oh my god Will, I saw him and was like! Child! My son! Must protect!

The character you never expected to love so much:

Luther!! soft monkey man 💗 <-- straight up stealing Dani’s comment there. I always expected I’d end up liking Luther at some point but I love him so, so much now

Athena!!! I had a hard time getting to like her and Buck, but I knew from gifsets that I’d end up loving Buck eventually so I just. Adore Athena and her character a lot and I’m very glad I do.

STEVE. Oh my goodness the arc that he went through..I am so glad they decided to change his character into a good, sweet guy because he got a Zuko-version redemption (it’s v funny bc there’s a post detailing why Zuko’s redemption works and they can be applied to Steve’s in season 1 and!! Further evidence backing that post up if I could just FIND it lol). But I love Steve a lot!!!

The character you relate to the most:

diego, vanya, and ben. no i shan’t elaborate (bc i already did in our discord server. talk about overshare. anyway join the dark side, we have bots and chaos) <--- Again, stealing Dani’s answer lol

Ooooh. Very hard. I think I want to say Chimney. I feel like I have elements of Maddie and Buck but overall I think I fit Chim’s vibe and he’s the character I’m the most similar to, but while hers is faaar more intense that mine I think Maddie’s arc and coping really gets to me and Buck is bi because he’s definitely bi so you know.

Hm. I’m not super sure that I relate to any of them honestly? I think if I had to choose I’d say Robin, probably, but that’s it really.

The character you’d slap:

reginald :) <---- agAIN, stealing dani’s answer

I don’t.....think there’s anyone lolol

:))))) His name isn’t Whispers, that’s the dude from Sense8, but whatever tf that guy’s name was who experimented on El. :)))) Also Billy, because he’s a racist and hurt my boy Lucas

Three favorite characters (in order of preference):

yes <-- I am once again saying that I am stealing Dani’s - okay fine, make me choose and obviously Ben is my favorite okay, and then Diego is my second favorite, what can I say, I’m weak for them. But all the other siblings are tied for third okay

oooh very hard bc I like a lot of them equally uhhh okay 1. Maddie and Chimney no I won’t choose you can’t make me 2. Buck 3. hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng Bo...bby? Actually no, the entire Grant-Nash family is in #3 lol

Steve, then the rest of the scoops troop, then either Will or Lucas! Best characters hands down honestly

A character you liked at first but don’t anymore:

no <-- guess whose answer I stole this from

idk if she really counts but Abby? I was more “meh whatever” on her to “ehhh I don’t think I really like her” but it teetered between that and neutrality

I don’t not like him but I was....very much not a fan of the way they decided to write Hopper this last season and I feel like a lot of things make me go “I guess I’m electing to ignore this” to continue liking him I’m ngl

A character you did not like at first but now do:

…luther once again <-- do we even have to guess

I don’t think I have anyone?

I guess Murray. He gave off kind of creepy vibes season 2 imo and I wasn’t the biggest fan of him but I actually rather liked him in season 3! :)

Three OTPs:

diego/lila, vanya/sissy, allison/ray (and klaus/dave but we haven’t seen much of them) <--- Dani are we twins? I think we’re twins

Buck/Eddie, Maddie/Chimney, and Bobbie/Athena (sorry @ hen and karen asdfjkl)

I’m cheating bc this one is an OT3 but - Steve/Nancy/Jonathan (cowards, get them together!!!), Joyce/Hopper, and none of the kid ships are OTPs to me I just think the kids are adorable so like? I guess one of those ships

I’m tagging: @superbandnerd99 @electro--coffee @incendiaglacies @zaritomaz @piggiesaregreen @vaughnsgreenwood and whoever else wants to do this :)

Noticed - Steve Harrington x Reader

Notes: Hey guys! This is the first Steve fic that was requested. The others are in the works right now! I hope you enjoy and keep sending in Steve requests because I love him so much. Thanks!

Summary: Since Nancy just broke up with Steve, he doesn’t notice you that much. But what happens when you’re stuck fighting monsters together and he’s forced to notice you?

Noticed

Steve Harrington x Reader

Requested?: Yes, by @wishing-wanting - “Omg a steve x reader where they got grouped together and fought together in S2 but he was too stuck on Nancy to notice her even though since he saved her she’s had a crush on him and he just doesn’t want to admit his feelings because he doesn’t want to get hurt again and it takes the reader getting hurt or almost really hurt by the Russians or Mind Flayer for him to realize how much he loves/ likes her and yea lmao idk I finished S3 and I forgot how much I love Steve”

Word Count: 3,340

Warnings: ST3 SPOILERS!, descriptions of fighting, some sexual harassment comments from Billy (sorry), descriptions of syringe & getting a shot.

You don’t know how you got roped into this. You’re Nancy’s best friend and that’s how it all started.

You were with her while she dated Steve, you were with her when she broke up with Steve, you were with her when she got with Jonathan. Even though you didn’t agree that she should have broken up with Steve because he was nothing but caring for her, you said nothing.

And even though they broke up, he still only cares about Nancy.

Above all, though, you’ve been there through the Demogorgon and beyond.

“You should go with him,” Steve tells Nancy as you all pick up heaters to burn a monster out of Will’s body. Crazily enough, it’s not the weirdest thing that has happened to you recently.

“What?” She asks, looking to you for answers. You shrug, knowing that this conversation is no business of yours, yet Steve chooses to speak about it in front of you. Probably because he barely notices you’re here.

“With Jonathan.” He elaborates.

“No, I’m- I’m not just going to leave Mike. And (Y/n).” Nancy shakes her head, grabbing a heater. You go to interject that you’ll be fine, but Steve beats you to the punch.

“No one’s leaving anyone. I may be a terrible boyfriend but it turns out I’m a dang good babysitter.” Steve helps her with a large heater, giving her a small smile. She takes the heater he hands to her.

“Yeah, and I’m no one.” You mumble, rolling your eyes as you grab another heater for yourself. They either don’t hear you or ignore you.

“Steve…” Nancy trails off. You don’t even have to look at her to know she’s giving him those puppy dog eyes that always work too well on him.

“It’s okay, Nance. It’s okay.” He assures her, giving her one last meaningful look before turning around and walking inside.

“I’m sorry you had to be here for that.” Nancy apologizes, frowning at you.

“I’m not sure he even knew I was here.” You grumble, realizing that there are no more heaters.

“He’ll notice you, (Y/n), I’m sure of it. There’s no way he won’t be able to notice you after this. I’m going with Jonathan like he said, so...you’ll be here alone with him. And the kids, of course.” She gives you a small smile.

“What? Nancy, you say that like I have a crush on him. I don’t have a crush on him.” You give her a hard glare.

“Whatever you say, (Y/n).” She laughs despite the situation and goes inside with her heaters. You follow suit. Nancy drives off with Jonathan.

“Is this really necessary?”

“Yes, it is!”

You hear Steve and Dustin bickering in the house so you decide to go in and keep the peace.

By the time you get to the kitchen, all you see is them slamming the fridge door shut.

“What did you just do?” You ask, raising an eyebrow.

“Shoved a Demodog in the freezer.” Steve points at Dustin.

“What? It’s a scientific discovery!” He defends himself. You shrug. An argument breaks out in the next room over. What is it with these kids and arguing all the time?

“That place is swarming with dogs!” Mike argues, his face pinched in anger.

“Demodogs.” Dustin reminds them of his nickname for the beasts. Mike looks over with a ‘seriously?’ look. You don’t blame him, now is not really the time for nicknames to be catching on.

“Listen, dude, if a coach calls a play in a game, the bottom line is that you execute it. Alright?” Steve interrupts, trying to be the bigger person.

“Okay, but first of all, this isn’t some stupid sports game. And second, we’re not even in the game, we’re on the bench.” Mike points out. You hum in agreement.

“He has a fair point.” You nod, siding with Mike.

“Right- so- my point is,” Steve gives you an incredulous look for siding with a child over him, “Right, yeah, we’re on the bench so, uh….there’s nothing we can do.”

You get an idea.

“Wait, that’s not necessarily true. We figured out that the Demodogs have a hive mind, right?” You ask, furrowing your brows. Steve looks over at you, a puzzled look on his face. He doesn’t like where this is going.

“Yeah, we did.” The kids all nod.

“Well, when we were on that bus, they all ran away. They didn’t just run away, though, they got called away.” You remind them, your gears turning for a plan.

“So if we get their attention--” Lucas starts.

“Maybe we can draw them away from the lab.” Max finishes his thought for him. They smile at each other.

Ah, young love.

“Exactly.” You nod.

“Yeah, and then we all die!” Steve yells, looking to you for reassurance. You give him none.

“That’s one point of view.” Dustin shrugs.

“It’s not a point of view it’s a fact.” Steve looks at the boy with a ‘you’re an idiot’ face. You giggle.

“I got it!” Mike runs away. He comes back a moment later.

“What’s up?” You ask.

“All of the tunnels feed into here. Hopper dug a hole into the tunnels so if we go to the hub and set it on fire--”

“No- Yeah, that’s a no.” Steve shakes his head. This time, you agree.

“Oh, heck no. We’re not going to risk our lives by starting an uncontrolled fire to call a bunch of demon dogs--”

“Demodogs.” Dustin reminds you.

“Demodogs to the exact spot that we’re at.” You finish. Steve nods in agreement and fist bumps you. Look at that, Nancy was right. He is noticing you now that she’s gone.

But you don’t have a crush on him. She was wrong about that part.

The kids continue making a plan completely against you and Steve’s wishes.

“Hey, hey, hey!” Steve claps to get their attention.

“This is not happening.” You tell them.

“But-”

“No! No buts! We promised to keep you safe and that is exactly what we are doing.” Steve looks over at you. You nod.

“We’re staying here on the bench and we’re waiting for the, uh, starting team to do their job. Does everybody understand that?” You recall Steve’s earlier basketball reference. He raises his eyebrows and smiles, surprised that you paid attention to him saying that.

“This isn’t some stupid sports game!” Mike groans. You glare at him.

“Does it look like I care, Wheeler? Your sister entrusted me with your specific care. I am her best friend. She will murder me if I let anything happen to you, got it? I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I let you get hurt. We are not going anywhere.” Your voice is laced with venom.

A car revs its engine outside. Everyone runs to the window.

“It’s my brother. He-- he can’t know I’m here, he’ll kill me. He’ll kill us.” Max gasps.

You and Steve share a knowing look. Before you know it, you’re stepping outside and telling the kids to hide.

Billy pulls up and steps out of his car, an unpleasant look on his face.

“Am I dreaming, or is that Harrington and (Y/l/n)?” Billy smirks, winking at you. You roll your eyes.

“Yeah, it’s us, Billy. What do you want?” You growl.

“I’m looking for my step-sister. A little birdie told me she was here.” He puts a cigarette to his lips.

“Huh, that’s weird. I don’t know her.” Steve crosses his arms. You put a hand on your hip.

“Small, redhead...nothing?” Billy looks over at you.

“Doesn’t ring a bell. Why don’t you leave?” You give him a tight-lipped smile.

“This whole situation is weird. Why are you two lying to me?” He takes out the cigarette and blows a face full of smoke at you. You suffer through the smoke and after it’s gone, let out a cough right back in his face. He smirks.

“She’s not here.” Steve narrows his eyes at Billy.

“Then who is that?” Billy whispers, pointing his cigarette at the window. You and Steve turn to see the kids looking out the window, ducking when they see you turn around.

“Crap.” You whisper. Billy shoves Steve to the ground and walks to the house, slamming open the door. You hurriedly help Steve up and the two of you run in behind him.

“You’re so dead, Sinclair!” You hear Billy yell from the kitchen. Steve runs over and pulls Billy off of Lucas, turning him around.

“No, you are.” Steve punches Billy in the jaw. You gasp, seeing him rub his knuckles after the impact.

Billy laughs and says something about King Steve, but you’re too worried to care.

“Steve, just get him out of here!” You yell, going to back him up. He stops you.

“No, stop, don’t get involved in this.” He pleads, giving you his puppy dog eyes. You guess Steve’s not the only one who’s a sucker for the puppy eyes.

“Okay.” You whisper, staying back in front of the kids to protect them. Billy swings at Steve but Steve ducks, hitting him again.

“Yes!” Dustin calls from behind you. The kids start to cheer Steve on but you’re left petrified as Billy smashes a plate over Steve’s head.

“Steve!” You yell, stepping forward to help. He shakes his head. You watch as the fight ensues with Billy beating Steve to a pulp. After a moment, you know Steve isn’t going to get back up, so you decide to intervene. You grab Billy by the shirt and rip him off of Steve, shoving him to the ground. The lower half of his shirt comes unbuttoned during this.

“You just really wanted me to get my shirt off, huh?” Billy smirks, looking up at you.

“In your dreams.” You kick him in the ribs over and over again with all of your might. It seems to be hurting him because he doesn’t get back up. Eventually, he rolls over.

“Who knew (Y/n) had such a fight in her. I wonder what you’d be like in be--”

Before Billy can finish his sentence, you grab a fistful of his hair and start slamming his face onto the floorboards. After a moment, he grabs your ankle and pulls it out from under you, making you fall to the floor. He climbs on top of you and pins your wrists down above you, knees on either side of your torso.

“Get off of me!” You spit in his face. He chuckles darkly.

“Make me.” He whispers, leaning into your face. You writhe underneath him, struggling to break free.

“Leave (Y/n) alone!” You hear Steve yell before Billy is tackled off of you and on the ground again. You bolt upright and scramble away from them, watching them fight for dominance again.

You won’t lie to yourself, it was kind of hot seeing Steve stand up for you like that.

You run to the kitchen and grab a pan, running back to the room where Billy is beating Steve again. You wind back your arm and swing the pan at the back of Billy’s head. He falls off of Steve, out cold. You see an unconscious Steve below him.

Max grabs the keys from Billy’s pocket.

“Let’s get out of here.” She gives them to you.

You start to drive, completely abandoning your hope of rationalizing and getting the kids to stay home.

You get to the tunnels and park the car, getting out as Steve starts to wake up. He stumbles out.

“This isn’t okay. I thought we agreed not to do this?” Steve asks you. You sigh.

“I gave up. The kids are persuasive.” You shrug, putting on your goggles and neck bandana.

“It’s our duty to provide assistance. I know you promised Nancy that you would keep us safe, Steve, so keep us safe.” Dustin shoves the bat at Steve. He rolls his eyes and takes it.

“I told you they’re persuasive.” You smile, walking to the hole and jumping down first.

Everyone else jumps down once you’ve given them the all-clear.

“From here on out, I’m leading the way,” Steve calls to the group.

“We’re leading the way.” You correct him.

“We’re leading the way,” Steve repeats, including you this time. You smile to yourself. Luckily, he can’t see it behind your mask.

You all go through the tunnels and find the main hub. You start putting down gasoline all over the walls and floors.

Steve drops the lighter and the place goes up in flames. You immediately pull Steve back to his feet and start running.

You all make it to the opening again. You and Steve start boosting the kids up to the hole one by one until it’s only you two and Dustin left.

“Dustin.” You and Steve get down to give Dustin a boost. Then you hear the Demodogs

“Crap! Go, go, go!” You boost Dustin up then grab your gasoline and lighter to fight. Steve readies his bat.

“Get behind me.” Steve moves slightly in front of you. You would blush but now is not the time.

The dogs race down the tunnel, coming at you with full speed. You’re about to light them up when they all start running past you.

“Wha--” Before you can say anything, Steve pulls you to his chest to keep from getting separated by the Demodogs. You hold him close until the Demodogs are all gone.

Okay, maybe you do have a small crush on Steve Harrington.

Steve helps you up first then you help him out. You breathe a sigh of relief. Things are working out.

And work out, they did indeed. Eleven closed the gate and that was the end of it.

Or so you thought.

Here you are, a year later, working at Scoops Ahoy with Steve when the third round of things start happening. First, you team up with Steve, Dustin, Robin, and Erica. Next, you find an elevator that leads to a secret Russian base that is trying to open the gate to the upside down again. Third, you get caught in that secret Russian base. Well, you and Steve did. The rest went to go find help.

“Who do you work for?” The Russian leader asks you, his eyes dark with anger.

“I work at Scoops Ahoy in the mall, dude. I’ve told you this already!” You whine, licking your swollen lip. There is a sharp pain in your jaw and realize that the man has punched you in the face. Again.

“How did you get in?” He asks.

“It was an accident! Your security kinda sucks, not gonna lie.” You groan, getting punched in the face again. That one is gonna leave a black eye.

“Take her to the other room.” The man growls. You get picked up and dragged against your will to a room where Steve is already sitting in the center strapped to a chair.

“Steve!” You gasp. His head shoots up at your voice, relief clear on his face. Although you can’t see much of his face with how bruised and bloody it is.

“(Y/n).” He breathes out as you’re strapped to the chair behind him. He grabs your hands through the restraints and you squeeze it to let him know you’re okay.

“Let’s see if these get you talking.” The Russian man comes toward you with a large syringe.

“Don’t you dare hurt her!” Steve yells, struggling against his bonds. You squeeze his hand tighter as you’re both injected with whatever is in the syringes.

You feel no different as the Russian pulls the needle out and steps out of the room.

“Hey, (Y/n)?” Steve asks after a moment.

“Hm?” You hum, the room starting to spin.

“Do you feel any different?” He asks. You can hear the smile on his face.

“No.” You giggle, squeezing his hand.

“Your hand is soft.” He thinks out loud, rubbing his thumb over your palm. You blush at his words.

“So are yours.” You compliment him back, a goofy smile growing on your face.

“I can imagine the smile on your face right now,” He tries to look back at you but is unsuccessful.

“Oh yeah? What does it look like?” You muse.

“I dunno, it’s like a lopsided grin that’s too genuine to stop from happening. It’s adorable, much like the rest of you. I love your smile.” He admits, resting the back of his head on your shoulder. You giggle and blush again. He called you adorable.

“Stevie, you’re going soft.” You rest your head on top of his. He nudges you.

“Am not. Don’t laugh at me.” He chuckles.

“You totally are--” Before you can finish, the Russian men barge back into the room.

“Time’s up.” They grunt and your head snaps away from Steve’s.

“Who do you work for?” He asks you.

“...Scoops Ahoy.” You giggle. The man sighs.

“Still lying. Ask the boy?” Your Russian guy tells the other Russian guy. You try your best to look at Steve as he stutters.

“I’m telling you, man, we got here on accident.” He laughs, doubling over at the hilarity of the situation.

“Fine. If you won’t confess, then we have no other choice. Kill the girl.” The man in charge commands. The guy questioning Steve grabs a gun.

“They’re gonna kill me.” You giggle.

“I know! It’s-- wait, what?” This seems to sober up Steve for now.

The Russian cocks the gun and aims it at your head. You laugh.

“Bye-bye!” You shut your eyes and wait.

“Wait, no! Stop! I’ll-- I came here with a buddy,” Steve hiccups, still a bit delirious. You crack open your eyes.

“Name?” The man lowers the gun.

“Umm- uh, Dustin. Henderson.” Steve tells the man. Just then, the alarm goes off. The Russian men look at each other before running out to check on the situation. A moment later, Dustin, Erica, and Robin walk in.

“There you guys are!” Robin gasps and the three start to untie you and Steve.

“Oh, hey buddy! I was just talking about you!” Steve grins at Dustin. Dustin gives him a weird look.

“Time to go, nerds.” Erica snaps once the restraints are loose. You get up and turn to Steve, hugging him tightly. He wraps his arms around you and pulls you close to him.

“I thought I was going to lose you.” He seems to be sober for a second.

“You can’t lose me, silly.” You grin and peck his cheek. He blushes.

“Hey, can I tell you something?” He smiles goofily.

“Hm?” You ask, arms still looped around his neck.

“I’ve been in love with you for a while now.” He confesses, resting his forehead against yours. Your noses brush.

“Wait, seriously?” The shock rushes any clouded judgment from your mind.

“Yeah, seriously.” Steve seems to render what he said, sobriety pulling him to reality.

“I-I...I thought you liked Robin.” You gasp, staring deep into his eyes.

“I’m a lesbian.” Robin clears her throat, keeping her eyes trained on the door in case people figure out what’s happening.

“We should go. I’m sorry for--” Before Steve can finish, you’re pressing your lips against his. He kisses back after a moment, pulling you back to his chest.

“I’ve loved you ever since we almost died in that tunnel together. Maybe a bit before, when I saved you from Billy.” He admits, pressing another soft kiss to your lips.

“Funny, I was about to say the same thing.” You grin at him, pecking his lips one last time.

“Can you two please get on with it? I don’t want to die in here!” Erica complains. You and Steve break apart, holding hands still.

“Let’s get out of here. We have a lot of lost time to make up for.” Steve grins at you.

“I’ll say.” You giggle.

“Come on!” Erica tugs you guys out of the room.

Maybe, if you live through this, you’ll have a normal college career with the love of your life.

TMB ending pt. 1 Analysis

I think Tomb of the Lost Queen is really fun, but it’s also super confusing. All of the character’s secrets play into figuring out the overall puzzle and there’s a lot of stuff that you can either miss or just straight up doesn’t make sense. I wanted to organize my thoughts on this to hopefully understand it a bit better, or at least understand what HeR was trying to get at.

Obviously spoilers, but you already knew that.

Edit: Just got done . This is only the Dylan portion because it turned out to be crazy freakin long. I apparently have a lot to say on the man haha. The rest I’ll do in seperate parts soooo be back later

I wanna start with Dylan. From what I understand, he is indeed a tour guide. However, being a tour guide doesn’t make him enough money, and so he decided he wanted to get in on the black market. I think he either was going to steal from the sites and then sell them to his connections, or use the connections to show people one-of-a-kind artifacts he obtained through the black market. Or maybe he’d use his tours as a well to sell the artifacts he found? Not sure. One of those. Anyways, he decided the way to do this was through Abdullah. That’s why he wants Nancy to say something nice about him to Abdullah, but I feel like this shows how dumb and inexperienced he is with all this because he has no idea what he’s doing or what he could get involved in.

The way Dylan actually found out the site....okay. I don’t know much about this kind of stuff but are these sites always hidden from the public? i mean I guess I’d understand WHY but I was looking into going on a dig this summer through my college (rip that plan) and. All the info seemed pretty out in the open. Whatever. Anyways, the dig is suppose to be secret, so how did Dylan find it? When you ask him he mentions “some guys” took him and then asks you to drop it for both his sake and Nancy’s. My take on this is that he already does know a few people connected to Abdullah which explains how he even knows that Abdullah is shady in the first place, and they got him there. This circles back to Abdullah but more on that later.

thanks to @naancypants help, I got the window to confront Dylan on the phone about everything, which is right after I talk to Jamila about everything and right before I unlock Lily’s trunk. Essentially he confesses that he isn’t really IN yet and wanted Abdullah’s help, but again, the fact that he already knows about Abdullah shows he knows more than the average tour guide. If you boil it down, Dylan needs money to keep being a tour guide and thought the black market was the way to go. Which c’mon dude, it’s not. worth. it. That stuff always turns out bad for you. Oh and pretty sure that stolen amulet was his, or Abdullah. I feel I should also mention the fake tour guide ID’s, which don’t make sense but I think he would just use them to show Abdullah and be like heyyy see I have connections with groups allllll over or smthn like that.

In the Dylan section I just wanted to bring up Nancy and Dylan’s dynamic. Now I don’t ship them idk I might but I overall just really enjoy their relationship over the course of the game and I really want him to come back in the future and for them to be friendos. I love how casual he is talking with her, they just seem to gel really nicely and honestly it cracks me up how he’s always so down to help you snoop through Lily’s stuff or just gives you crap he finds from Jamila. I think this shows a part of him knows that Nancy is trustworthy and capable enough to figure out what’s going on- he still was dumb enough to think she’d never find out about him bein’ shady but I think he was one of the few people (basically just him and Jamila lol) in this game that knew what Nancy is capable of, which i think is reiterated by the moment when you tell him you found Nefertari and he’s all like “Good job! Knew you could do it!” Also Nancy constantly being suspicious of Dylan and him just brushing it aside and saying something dumb is great- especially when shes like PROVE YOU’RE A TOUR GUIDE OR ELSE and he flat out gives her a fake tour haha. The fact that everyone suddenly calls him “your boy Dylan” to Nancy cracks me up, and also LET ME MENTION that he steps in front of Nancy and basically takes a bunch of boulders for her is wow. Basically without him doing that we wouldn’t have been able to solve the case and Abdullah would have gotten away with everything.

Talking on the phone with him is a whole other thing, I feel so bad for him but his voice actor does a really good job of sounding half-dead lol and I keep picturing him and Jon being buddies for some reason XD And the final confrontation with him? Omg. I love it. Essentially: (I’m acting like you guys didn’t play this game lol I just need to recount this for my sake)

“what do you want me to say Nancy?”

“I want you to say no. And I want you to mean it.”

He goes into why he can’t do that because he “has to play the game to survive, there’s no other way” then SHE HITS HIM WITH:

“Only if you’re not good at playing the game.”

SO SAVAGE NANCY GEEZ THE DUDE IS ALREADY ALMOST DEAD

then we have the glorious bit of him pretending to hang up on her and then she calls him childish and he calls her cruel and she says its because HE DESERVES IT -wow nance pullin no punches!- and that he should:

“...spend your time in traction thinking about which person you want to be. The one you pretended to be with me, or the one you’re desperately trying to become.”

to which he replies:

“I guess you’ll have to call me up once I’m all better to see which person I’ve decided to become.”

SO OKAY I recount all this merely because I love that portion of dialogue but I wanted to break down why. First, Nancy is pulling NO PUNCHES, she is hangin this boi out to DRY. I think this is because she expects more from him- she expects him to try and be better, which is something really cool with Nancy. She says she’s being tough because he deserves it, and I think it shows that she thinks he’s worth giving a second chance to try again. Nancy does this with a lot of people throughout the games, she confronts them and while is really tough on them, she does it because she knows they can do better wish they would have done this more with Henry but oh well. I’m not taking this from a romantic angle, you can if you want to, but I feel like she’s even more tough than usual on Dylan because she sorta...bonded? with him over the course of the game and that’s why it matter so much to her. I dunno I think I just love it so much because this scene is not only a testament to their relationship but also shows off something about Nancy that I really like. She calls you out on your crap but at the end of the day she wants to help you. She wanted to believe the best about Dylan, so now she’s giving him this chance to prove she wasn’t wrong.

I dunno does that make sense XD Basically I really like Dylan as well as his dynamic with Nancy, and that was waaaay to long. But HeR I’d like some follow up cuz the end of the game really didn’t mention how she called him up later to see what he’d decided.

Back later with the rest of the characters haha

#cluecrewplaythrough #nancy drew #dylan carter #seriously so sorry yall #I did not mean for this to be so long

I Read The Lightning Theif Rewrite Script So You Dont Have To

So @dragonsarecats sent me this.

This being Chris Colombus’ rewrite of Chris Titley’s Lightning Thief movie from 2008.

And wow, if you thought the movie was bad before, you’re in for a surprise.

So if you wanna read all 121 pages yourself feel free, or read on and I’ll highlight everything by way of explaining all the issues with screenshots. And the very few good things at the end.

So, in no real order here is,

My 13 Issues!

1) Grover

My poor poor goat boy... The best way to describe his character is as follows: “The Stereotypical Horny Teenage Boy”. And legit that’s all to him.

2) Percy

So Percy... it’s honestly hard to spell out exactly what’s wrong with him. But things are, everything is. He doesn’t have a character. He’s just kinda the reason things work?

But he does piss off a bully? So that’s something? I guess???

3) Yancy Academy/The Start

I’m not gonna get into the fact that Percy is 17 all that’s wrong with that. But what’s wrong with the start of the story is two main things: The Minotaur and Drew.

So in this Drew is basically a mix of Nancy and Clarisse. As he’s the one Percy sprays with water in the bathroom, but that happens before Percy gets to camp. For reasons.

As for the Minotaur he comes twice, first to replace Mrs. Dodds and then to attack at the camp border. So during the first attack Percy slashes it and it ran off. Then when it’s back Percy kills it and takes off it’s horn- after Bruner established that it can only be killed by taking off a horn??? Said horn is also traded to Zeus for Grover’s life later?? Why is that a good trade???

4) Annabeth and The Love Story

Annabeth is there purely to be a love interest

So this thing leans heavily into the stereotypes of the demigods traits and yet I don’t think Annabeth does a single smart thing

She’s such a girl

That may sound like a weird complaint but like read this

So shortly after this Percy and her kiss and basically it s the most most cliche of cliche

And yeah that’s all there is to her

Well at the end she feels the need to tell Athena and Poseidon that she’s dating Percy and thus the two of them should make up

5) Luke

So the first thing wrong with Luke

He and Percy has two sentences of conversation before he’s giving Percy the winged shoes and shield cuz the bolt is there in the movie

He never met Hermes

Hermes didn’t know he had a son named Luke

I think that says all it does

There’s more about him but I’ll save that for the final battle

Luke has zero one liners

I swear his lines were the best thing about the movie

6) Sally

So after the Minotaur attacks the first time Chiron sends Grover to get sally then head to camp. But like sally has no need to go with?? She’s literally going with to be captured, cuz she can’t get in camp. They are 17, so they can prob drive. She’s not needed for that???

Despite being Percy’s motivation we barely have reason to care about her despite the fact she’s the mom

When Percy gets her back and they’re about to die, Percy kisses Annabeth instead of hugging his mom

She kissed Poseidon

7) Poseidon

So my real problem with him is him and Percy’s relationship

So Percy goes from being super cold to him, to hugging him, to getting a matching tattoo within three pages

8) Ares

So first Annabeth had to convince the dude that the war between the gods woulds be a good thing and to let them go

He’s very particular and stupid about cheeseburgers

So besides the fact that you can’t tell a burger is raw based on lifting the bun, after this the manager comes out tells Ares off for being rude to the waitress. Ares calmly apologizes and then punches the dude

Cops then show up and start shooting

The kids and ares get in a humvee and the cops are chasing them until ares hits a button and goes into stealth mode

So yeah

9) Hades and the Underworld

So the Underworld isn’t the underworld

It’s an AU if Los Angels, complete with burning things buildings and cars everywhere

Like hades mansion is literally crumbling to pieces and the food is rotten

Also apparently there’s no Charon it’s Virgil

Hades is the embodiment of the devil and evil. Complete with a demonic form

He wants to feed the kids TO KRONOS

Persephone is there and she’s stupid. First off she and Grover keep staring at each other “lustfully”

She also plays loyal to Hades and send everyone to die then is like whoops nope sorry bro I hate it here feel free to go home

She and Grover give each other lustful looks

Should she even be there in the summer?

Oh and lustful looks

10) Vegas

Okay so I’m not a fan of pearls as it’s a departure from the book and all but whatever I’m gonna ignore that for the sake of this.

But there’s many issues with the journey. One of which is heading to Vegas

So this person clearly doesn’t know how Nevada works cuz the whole thing is complete desert as they walk to Vegas on foot. Like according to this dude there is nothing in Nevada but Vegas

They walk until Poseidon sends them horses with baskets of fruit.

Which they then decide to ride down the Vegas Strip

So when they get to Lotus Flower Hotel, the name automatically changes to “Lotusland” for unknown reasons

And the reason Percy figures things out is cuz he bumps into a kid from the 70s and goes “Sorry, my bad.” And the kid basically replies as if Percy has said yeet. Like idk about the 70s, but I have a feeling that “my bad” isn’t that crazy of a phrase

Percy snaps Grover and Annabeth out of it by shoving them into a pool

During the fight on the way out Percy hits people with his sword and suddenly they age??? They chase them outside, and after the trio gets away they head back inside and de age again. Cuz somehow that makes sense

11) The Final Battle

The final battle, the final battle *sigh*

So like the movie the final battle takes place in NYC outside the Empire State Building. And Luke shows up to fight Percy

But the issue is how the fight works. So for some context Percy sends Sally and Annabeth up to Olympus ahead of him while he fights Luke so meanwhile Lukes on flying shoes and using the MASTERBOLT to attack Percy

But despite being close to midnight, this is fucking NYC. People can see him blasting craters into the street as he attacks Percy

So Percy fights back with three fire hydrants as if they are placed that close together. And Luke meanwhile is dodging water until he’s struck but like yo dumbass! You have fucking lightning in your hand! Strike the shit out of that water!

So then to the fight moves to the Hudson River because it’s magically right next to the building and Percy after flying with his own winged shoes, sucks Luke down in a whirlpool

Percy then goes to Olympus and somehow makes it at the same time as his mom and Annabeth?

12) The End

It ends back at Percy’s house

Grover is there

Annabeth is being this version of Annabeth

Percy shows off a tattoo that matches Poseidon’s

Gabe is yelling for beer, Sally yells at him to get it himself. He goes to the fridge and there’s Medusa’s head

The screenplay ends with gave turning to stone to the sound of crackling lightning outside

Like wtf kind of ending is that ???

The good things!

1) Annabeth is blonde!

She’s blonde. Yeah that’s all this point is

2) It’s so bad... it’s good

So many times I found myself cackling and crying laughing

I kept interrupting my friends to tell them the bullshit that was going on

Nothing made me laugh more than stealth mode

~~~~

So yeah, there ya go.

A long “review” of this trash screenplay from 2008 that no one asked for.

Okay, why are the queer coded characters getting possessed?! Not to mention they’re both named William. I’m now convinced possession in this show is an allegory for the AIDs epidemic. Thoughts?

ANON THIS IS WHAT I’VE BEEN SAYING AND YOU’VE FINALLY GIVEN ME A PLATFORM TO POP OFF O H MY GOD.

So, I’ve popped off with this post (slightly off-center to your point but still about Will and Billy being queer coded) but here we GO. This is all just me thinking out loud so work with my mess I’m sorry:

Possession being an allegory for AIDS? I don’t completely think that’s too far out there, honestly. Even just initially thinking about it, I’m drawn to the way the kids interact with the monster and the adults do. For example, Will has True Sight and a fear of being re-possessed and taken back to the Upside Down-- which I kind of argue is the “upside down” way your life gets after you realize this whole time you’ve been gay. Will’s “True Sight” is an outside fear of knowing that that’s his community, those are his people getting sick and he’s scared, but can’t say why. He can help the group in seeing the monster, but he can never say why. No. Never tell. He realized who he was but now, that’s pushed down. He closed the gate.

In the same way, the teenagers in season 1 literally summon the monster with blood. [There’s also something I won’t really say because idk how much it really matters but, the fact that Nancy and Jonathan always have sexual tension while fighting the demogorgon is wild to me, but go off I guess]

Now, to have both Williams get possessed really... sets something up for me. Whether they meant it or not, I’m enjoying the idea that they are showing the different ways of internalizing homophobia. Will is possessed young and now has this with him (I won’t say it’s supposed to be the virus, but more so the awareness like I said) to carry forward. Billy though, is possessed far later in life. He’s already angry at everything else in his life-- and then this dawns on him. Or with all the news he sees on the TV, the possession is his own undeniable awareness that he’s at risk.

Also consider, before this, Billy’s never been to the Upside Down. He’s never had the “upside down” re-evaluation that happens when you accept who you are, or at least say it out loud. Will went and had everyone come and save him. His mother rescued him and told him she loved him. Will knows he’s safe if he ever came out, but it’s still scary. It’s still Hawkins whether upside down or not. But Billy? He’s never touched it. He’s never come close to admitting who he is, if that’s what they’re planning him to be. He just gets possessed.

He’s able to stay right side up, not look at his life for what it might be/really is, and gets this fear of risk, of having everyone find out he’s gay because he gets sick, (which was a really terrifying and terrible reality and I don’t want to sound like I’m belittling that at all). But in not ever “going” to the upside down, it shows maybe (?) a refusal to admit, so then possession and the fear of his risk becomes anger. Billy is just going to light the entire town in flames because fuck that shit town. California to Hawkins? Oh boy. That’s a change.

Will is saved because the people around him fight his initial urges to cut himself off-- ignoring the he likes it cold and his family sitting around and telling him he’s loved and that it isn’t bad to be himself (the rainbow ship, MIKE for the love of god). But Billy? He doesn’t want help. He wants to hurt people because he’s fucking angry-- from other things of course, but he’s decided he’s going to be a destruction to the world. And then he becomes that.... I mean? End you, your friends, then everyone else? That’s... That’s a pandemic folks.

But this is also me going Full English Major on this ask. Maybe this wasn’t coherent. I’ll think it all out again after the season is up. Come back. I’ll review my thesis, anon xo

#i don't want discourse ngl #i know this isn't complete #also #This is talking about billy a lot and I give his character credit as a writer #but he's still not valid on this blog #i'm just thinking #st3 talks #st3 spoilers #let me write stranger things #thanks #stranger theories #Anonymous #will byers is gay

ok here's some totally incoherent thoughts about endgame that i just have to write down or i might explode spoilers: i loved it also actual spoilers spoilers very spoilery spoilers

1. Steve and the goddddamn mjölnir!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!! when thor, iron man and cap were like 'aw yeahhh we're gonna fight thanos' i was like what the heckie is steve even doing there, supersoldier or not he's just a human. then thor drops his hammer and i’m like oh my gods please literally crossing my fingers. then thor’s fight is not going so well and oh no he definitely needs someone to save him! i’m like ohhhhhmygooddss. and THEN IT FINALLY HAPPENS I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR YEARS HELL YEAHHHHH

2. steve & peggy dance. yes. just yes. fucking finally. i love it. it was perfect i cried

3. clint should’ve died. (finally haha) he was my fave since before the avengers and i was so sure he was going to die back then, but then he didn’t and look what’s became of him since.......... i had a violent flashback to watching age of ultron for the first time and for the first time just hoping that my fave character (that would be clint) would just die, bc they’re screwing his character over so badly........ and most definitely it. should. not. have. been. natasha. who. died. that was such a bullshit i mean WHAT THE FUCK???? i mean maybe clint and natasha were the only remaining avengers that actually loved each other (?¿¿????¿¿¿?¿ tho that’s just flimsy, i’m just trying to....idek) and that’s why it had to be them on that stupid fuckin death cliff, but why did natasha have to die?? just because clint had a family (still with no actual characterization, not that i even care, or maybe i would if the movies had given me any reason to...) to return to and she didn’t??that fucking sucks and what sucks even more is that not only was natasha the only character that died (i’m not even counting tony, bc that was very Different) but she’s the only original female avenger AND it’s the same stupd fucking rock that the only original female gotg gamora died in such a bullshit way just last movie??? goddddd i hated that so much like maybe if she hadn’t been the first one to die and all the original avengers would’ve died as was i kinda hoping (tho i love happy endings so i didn’t actually hope that it would happen..), maybe then i would be okay with her being dead. now i am very much not okay, and that means very much not okay in a angry way, not in a sad way

4. speaking of death: to me tony’s was perfect. i might not be the biggest fan of how he always got the most screentime and a bigger role than other characters, but i can’t deny that he definitely is the heart of the whole mcu and it had to be him who saves the day in the end and what else could it have been that a very tony-like self-sacrifice..... god i cried. i loved that he got a funeral (even tho natasha didn’t...) and i loved his funeral with all the people and fricking harley and then the kid saying how much she likes cheeseburgers and the frickin ‘proof that tony stark has a heart’ and sfghkklkghhhh

5. i gasped audibly when i noticed that natasha was wearing the arrow necklace

6. i kinda forgot that vision ever even existed..... in the end i first thought that wanda was talking about pietro and then i was like ok well maybe not maybe she’s talking about tony or something WHICH MAKES NO SENSE LOL i don’t even remember what she actually said, but as was pointed out to me, she was probably talking about vision. who was a thing that existed... whoops

7. ugh i hate brucenat, i really thought we were over that shit already. i also very much disliked that they actually decided to go with professor hulk, but idk w/e i don’t care that much. but natasha’s death sucked tho and the one thing i do not want to see is bruce’s pain or whatever when the movie didn’t even give me the time or reason to actually grieve for her goddd that whole thing was such a bullshit

8. i did not like that thor was treated as a joke most of his screentime........

9. that stevepeggy dance tho. love it. it’ll probably take me at least another seven years to get over it

10. i fricking adored the whole going back in time thing, especially the 2012. the callbacks and the humor really worked for me, the elevator scene straight from cap2 but reversed and hail hydra and steve fighting steve and loki’s expressions when things go wrong and goddhhh i loved it all aaaaaaa, that was the moment when i was like ok i need to see this movie again immediately.... also the fact that their time travel rules were that they were just creating new paths or w/e i guess, and not actually changing what happened to them specifically... good. so many aus

11. that final battle was so perfectly epic

12. tho shouldn’t valkyrie’s (who really just doesn’t have a real name, now does she..) horse have died after being shot haha

13. i loved that clint had the gauntlet for so long, like he’s definitely the Least Qualified Person to keep it safe, why would that be his job, it was amazing

14. i hated natasha’s death with burning passion, but i loved how she and clint fought each other over who gets to throw themselves off that cliff. tho i really hoped that their ‘yeahh we know what we have to do’ would’ve rather meant that they decided to just throw red skull down bc who even knows if it even actually needs love sacrifice or w/e, a soul is a soul is a soul

15. i loved the human jarvis whatever-his-first-name-was cameo and i really need to finally watch/rewatch agent carter

16. i really liked the tony howard scene even if i thought it felt a bit iffy, bc i feel like there’s so much more to unpack w/ those daddy issues.... but maybe that scene means that there is that one universe where howard was actually a good dad. i want to believe that. yeah. (maybe not but let me dream)

17. i like how they totally forgot that sharon carter ever even existed

18. damn that moment when black panther comes through that portal

19. damn that moment when gi ant-man is giant

20. damn that final battle was so epic

21. damn that steve with mjölnir

22. this movie was SO GOOD when it was good and so mehhh when it was bad, and i’m really glad that it was just good enough that i can forgive overlook all of its flaws. (tho i will not forgive what they did to natasha, even if i can mostly ignore it when thinking about how good most of the rest of the movie was) but idk if it would’ve been perfect, maybe i wouldn’t have survived like there’s this One Huge Thing (natasha) that really brings down the movie that otherwise would’ve been just Amazing

23. i don’t know if my heart has ever beaten as fast as when steve finally picks up the hammer. never while watching a movie, at least

24. i love that carol has her short haircut, bc it bothered me so much in cpn marvel that she should not have been able to see anything when her hair was just constantly on her face haha

25. i feel nothing but seething resentment towards clint’s stupid family and that stupid family man role he is stuck with

26. why was natasha’s hair so weird and ugly. why can’t it just be red??

27. clint’s hair was weird and ugly too and i think i have finally kinda given up on mcu!clint (tho he has those small Very Good moments and i cry for what could’ve been.....we could’ve have it aaaaaalllll.... i think i’m going to watch swat (2003) again and still pretend it’s the clint backstory movie i deserve haha, it’s been ages since i’ve seen it idk if it would still work for me, i’m gonna try)

28. i love nebula tho

29. i loved the trip down memory lane! frigga!!!! the way the continuation of the avengers capturing loki just felt so natural and like it probably happened just like that! nebula and rhodey judging quill’s singing and dancing haha yes! everything! just as i was hoping it would be!

30. doesn’t really have anything to do with this movie but: i still firmly believe that coulson never died. i still firmly believe that pietro never died.

31. falcon cap helll yeah!!

32. i guess i’ll never get my strike team delta movie with clintasha best friends soulmates and with buckynat and the red room......... goddd there really should’ve been a black widow movie after cap2. like that was The Perfect Spot for a black widow movie, it’s really a crime that there isn’t one, and even if they make a black widow movie now, it’ll definitely be too little too late.

33. like..... a for effort..... for that female heroes girl power.... ughhhh.... scene, i guess, but that. does. not. cut. it. when you have just killed natasha

34. things i really wished they would say in some perfect moments: “hail hydra” “avengers assemble!” “i am iron man”. things they did say in those moments: “hail hydra” “avengers assemble” “i am iron man”, gogssgddd that was perfect (ok i also really did wish steve would’ve said the “i could do this all day” in the fight but couldn’t say bc the movie had just made fun of that.. i’m kinda sad but haha it’s not that big of a deal, maybe if he hadnt said it in civil war which i dont like but well...)

35. haha people are already complaining about the steve going back thing and how it’s definitely not moving on and erasing character development or whatever and HA. i finally got my stevepeggy dance i don’t care about anything else i am so happy!!!!!

36. i am so glad i managed to avoid any spoilers bc i hear that there was some pretty massive ones going around??¿?¿?

37. also: ok from here on out i am not here for any of you negative nancys complaining (probably very reasonable complaints idec) about the movie, god i really wish it was 2012 again

38. in final thoughts: i absolutely loved it and i love that it turns out that i’m apparently still very much marvel trash........ if natasha hadn’t died, especially in such a bullshit way, i would’ve been able to overlook everything else that was kinda meh about the movie and just purely and blindly loved it. i still did love it, a lot, but now there’s that bitter aftertaste.....

ok now, maybe that’s enough rambling and repeating myself....... i’m going to need to see it again asap

//EDIT

39. I FORGOT TO MENTION IT BC I FORGOT ABOUT IT but goooooooooodddd i loved nebula and tony playing that game in the beginning and tony letting nebula win ääääää

#i say #endgame #endgame spoilers #me = apparently still marvel trash™

ndrv3 HPA AU (Class ‘79) notes~

I’ve only ever been posting snippets of the their silly school life (without following a chronological timeline of events) so here’s some context of how I characterized the ndrv3 kids (essentially the same personalities but with some tweaks) and maybe some info on the relationships in my comics. Implied and outright spoilers, apparently. The rest under the cut.

NDRV3 Character design masterlist here Class 79A Character descriptions here Further characterizations here Family headcanons here Cover Art here Dorm designs here

Comic snippets so far: (most of these were from before I finalized their characterizations) Moms called out by trash child Kaito and Kokichi have “The Talk” How Kaede became the Class Rep A Lesson in Romantics Real Talk Sports Day

[Facebook] [Instagram] [Twitter] [Blogger] [Kofi]

/Draft/ Final characterizations here

Kaede Akamatsu: The ‘protagonist spotlight’ mostly falls on her. Personality-wise, she’ll still be the ever cheerful, charming and kind Kaede (with a toned down self-righteousness) but with a dash of her pre-game personality which is being mistrustful and to an extent, condescending.

Angie Yonaga: Angie is still Angie, but with added eccentricities. Since she her character design kind of implies she’s from an island in the West (okay, Hawaii) which is part of America, she’s going to be referencing memes and western culture.

Kirumi Tojo: Her maid shtick is a conscious effort for her. She has selfish whims and insecurities deep down that calm, collected and altruistic persona that she tries to project. (in-game Tojo was just too one dimensional, ugh)

Tenko Chabashira: She mostly maintains her enthusiastic, down to earth, protective (of the girls) nature but she won’t be too vocal about her aversion towards the MENaces (it was so overdone in the game to the point of being annoying) and with a short temper. Will probably have a sad or comical (still can’t decide which lol) backstory about why she dislikes DEGENERATE MALES.

Himiko Yumeno: Mostly the same with her in-game personality but isn’t dismissive of human interaction. Apart from her “I’m a mage, not a magician” gag, she’s suspected to be always on drugs by most. Secretly stays up late a lot to watch k-drama.

Maki Harukawa: Still anti-social and uptight but it won’t be because of her talent (which is outright revealed to be Ultimate Assassin)… she just hates talking to people her age (lol). Also, her backstory won’t be the same in-game coz that seemed intentionally sad in context, but it’s strangely out of place in a peaceful AU like this. She’s still from an orphanage and serves as an elder sister figure. She was physically conditioned and trained to be an assassin but it turns out it was just a complicated plot to make her a Motion Capture stunt girl for an Assassin’s Creed game. So yeah, she hasn’t really killed anyone in real life but she physically (and mentally??) can, if desired.

Tsumugi Shirogane: She won’t think she’s a plain jane nor will she make an effort to remain a ‘wallflower.’ She’s into a lot of fandoms, naturally. She also stans Junko Enoshima (who isn’t a Despair junkie btw) and makes vague references about “being in a reality show,” (wink, wink)

Miu Iruma: Same ol’ Miu, but will try to make an effort to be likeable. Also has standards, so no she is not going to do lewd things with Teru Teru-sempai.

Shuichi Saihara: Since no one has to die for his character development, it’s going to take awhile for him to remove his hat. At first, he’s still meek and unconfident but not codependent on Kaede. Also adding a dash of his pre-game personality, him being an avid fanboy of all things detective (stans Kyoko Kirigiri, has a sizable collection of Nancy Drew Books and Detective Conan manga etc). Struggles with depression at times.

Kokichi Ouma: Compulsive lying is dumbed down and has his limits with his intentional assholery. His genuinely caring personality will also peek through a lot and he won’t vehemently deny it that much.

Rantaro Amami: Carefree, easygoing and fabulously gay big brother figure of the class. Makes vlogs in the style of Bear Grylls’ Man VS Wild. He also references the Danganronpa franchise plots (except V3) in his stories of his adventures.

Kaito Momota: Still quite sexist but it’s more because of upbringing rather than intentional. He doesn’t just suddenly develop an incurable, deadly disease but he has Tuberculosis (hence, coughs a lot). And, he’s very competitive (his pre-game personality repackaged).

Ryoma Hoshi: Mostly detached and stoic but not depressive and unfeeling. I’m tweaking his backstory a bit coz an ex-con that has served prison time going back to high school is a bit weird (and I don’t want the “HPA pulling shady shenanigans” shtick). His family has been murdered and all he has left is the family cat (that he gets to keep in the dorms) and he’s been pursuing leads about the mafia responsible for it. He’s basically a Sasuke Uchiha here. Anyway, he’s wise but vindictive. Fortunately, he doesn’t want to serve justice with his own hands.

Korekiyo Shinguji: Doesn’t have a sister complex and definitely not a compulsive serial killer here. He’s already got an interesting, creepy persona. Miyadera is alive, but still sickly and would visit him often to bring him home-cooked meals. Unsurprisingly has a fascination for see-saws.

Gonta Gokuhara: still the best boy best boy best boy raised in the mountains He won’t be too gullible here and would even join in roasting Kokichi.

Keebo Idabashi: He’s the Ultimate Robotics Engineer since he’s not a robot. Spent most of his life sheltered (even from the internet) so he’s shy and quite socially inept. Always gets very defensive of his talent.

And now, for the platonic and romantic ships~ I actually multiship but in this AU I’m going to stick to one ship for a particular person since I’m personally not keen on polyamory. (please don’t burn me on a stake)

Kaede||Shuichi: Saimatsu BROTP; in fact, they refer to each other by first name. I didn’t want this to be an “OTP” here since Saimatsu was mostly set up and situational in-game because of Shuichi’s codependency and Kaede’s desire to break him out of his shell, though undeniably they do have a really good chemistry together. Really, I love Saimatsu just-- let them explore their options. (I’m also just bitter I couldn’t flirt more using Kaede after Chapter 1 ;w;)

Kaede|Kirumi: I’m not inconspicuous about it actually lol idk I just see a good chemistry between them. Also, think of the mom jokes since they’re both the class moms. And while my comics tend to jump back and forth chronologically, if I was going to write a fic– their relationship is a slow burn with lots of pining

Shuichi|Kokichi: Their love hotel scene oh my god Kokichi really has it bad and that little liar is a good match for Sai, he facilitated his growth in a (twisted) way but this is an AU so yeah. Beforehand, Kokichi has a slight interest in Rantaro.

Maki|Kaito: This is a canon-ish ship that had a weird development too, but again, they have a nice chemistry too. I wanna explore that normal, potential development between them (also, I’m not sayin they’re both necessarily straight coz this is a straight ship lol).

Himiko|Tenko: There’s just… a lot of potential cuteness in them, even though they were kind of dysfunctional in canon. The fact that they’re polar opposites when it comes to physical activities gives me enough cannon fodder for their tandem. And Himiko being involved with Tenko can really help her a lot (like when the latter’s death in-game impacted her so much).

Kaito||Kokichi: Sort of a Oumota reference lol Chapter 5 gave me an inkling of their dynamics together and it was nice to see that Kaito gave Kokichi a leap of faith despite all his atrocities. So, I think they’d be good friends in the AU, just laced with a lot of badmouthing and insulting each other.

Rantaro||Tsumugi: Mastermind and Survivor solidarity~ They’re good friends in middle school before entering HPA.

Miu||Keebo: They’re both socially inept techie nerds sitting at the back of the class so finding friendship with each other isn’t far from happening. I lowkey shipped them in the game but I haven’t decided in this AU yet~

That’s all for now I guess :D I can try to make an actual comic with plot about them someday… but I can’t promise, even to myself. huhu

Deckerstar in 2x18 (meta and/or rant, I’m not sure)

I want to start this off by saying that I am in no way some pro “meta-ist”, or whatever they’re called. My specialties in life are rambling and forgetting things. I’ve never done a proper meta before, so I apologize in advance if this is a complete mess. With that being said, I have a lot of thoughts after watching the episode. So let’s try this:

First of all, not to be a negative nancy, but I think the episode as a whole was a bit of a mess. I’m not one to not like what the Lucifer writers do (I’ve never felt let down by them), but so much felt out of place, especially the Deckerstar. I really hate admitting this, but, to me, it felt like fanservice. Which I know is crazy, they’re the main characters, the main relationship, and the heart of the show. With that being said, it really did feel like it. There was so much going on, and it felt like the writers just had to cram some Deckerstar in there too.

Now, why did it feel like fanservice? First of all, they were clearly a side storyline. The main plot of the episode was Mum, which is completely fine - but not for what was going on between our dear devil & detective duo. What was going on between them, was the development of probably their biggest plot - Chloe finding out the truth. It’s been a huge theme between them since the Pilot, which is why I feel like shoving it to the side, and only for a single episode, feels like fanservice. They haven’t had any really deep, personal moments since 2x14 (other than the pier moment in 2x18, but i’ll get to that later), and since then they’ve barely spoken to each other, aside from their usual banter. It felt sort of sudden, that Lucifer just decided that now was the time to come clean. If it had been the main plot, it would have been great as a one-episode thing. But they didn’t do that. It just felt like a “hey, we haven’t done any deckerstar in a while, let’s just throw this in here, it is the season finale after all.” kinda situation.

Another thing that makes it feel a bit fanservice-y, is how ooc the whole thing seemed. I could be completely in the wrong, but hear me out: Any time Lucifer and Chloe have a major development in their relationship, it tends to be because of some pretty heavy dialogue, or some big gesture. A few examples: 2x07 - their first real hug. Lucifer comforts Chloe about her father.

2x09 - Chloe saves Lux. Not only does Lucifer ask Chloe out on a real date, Chloe accepts. (Bonus: yes, Lucifer stands her up, but that was basically just because Linda called him out on Chloe (a silly human) being his home, not a place)

2x10 - The first (almost) successful date and their almost-kiss. They both develop sort of a new-found trust and respect for each other due to what they said in court, despite knowing a murderer could go free because of it.

2x11 - Their first kiss. I mean. The dialogue oh my god.

So why is it that Lucifer thinks that now is a good time to reveal the fact that he really is the devil, and probably also that whole thing about Chloe being a miracle child? I mean, yes the examples I gave were major milestones, but they weren’t nearly as heavy as the devil thing. When it comes to the first kiss, it was stretched out over two deckerstar centric episodes. I know first kisses are important but damn. What I’m trying to say is, “Why is it that all these major milestones were given entire episodes to be developed, but Lucifer (almost) telling Chloe everything wasn’t?”

In 2x18, Chloe says: “If you think that I wouldn’t forgive you for your mistakes, or your flaws, if you think that I don’t know who you really are by now, you’re wrong.” Now, yes, that is some pretty good dialogue, it measures up to the previous dialogue we’ve gotten, and it’s not ooc at all - this level of acceptance is probably the best thing Lucifer could ever hear. But again, this was not a deckerstar centric episode, and to be fair, from the way they’d interacted earlier, it felt a little out of place. Had it been a deckerstar centric episode, or had they just actually talked a bit more, either throughout the episode or since 2x14, I would probably have felt a lot better about this whole thing. Aside from that, it’s what follows next that really gets on my nerves:

The part that completely broke it for me - The final piece in the puzzle when it comes to Lucifer deciding whether or not to tell Chloe - the scene with Linda. This is specifically what feels ooc to me: When Lucifer enters the hospital room, he himself says something about how he never should’ve dragged Linda into this whole thing. She protests, saying: “I walked into this with my eyes wide open, chose to be your friend, and face all that comes with that - the good, the bad, and the crispy.” Now, I could easily be misinterpreting something, but I’m pretty sure Linda didn’t walk into anything with her eyes wide open. If anything, they were not only closed, but she had a blindfold on, and she was in the darkest room imaginable. Anyway. With the way the scene was set up, I can only imagine that what Linda said was what pushed Lucifer over the edge. Now my question just is...

How?

How did that make him think it was in any way a good idea to tell Chloe? Linda almost just died because she knows. The only (somewhat reasonable) explanation I can come up with myself is that Linda saying I chose to be your friend somehow makes him think that Chloe will get to choose... Something. I can’t even figure out what that something could be, but Lucifer does like his free will, so I guess. It just still bothers me to no end, that even though this whole “choice” thing is correct, or even just about any other possible explanation, it just doesn’t make any sense. Lucifer’s main motivation for literally everything on this show is Chloe’s safety. He killed his own brother so that she wouldn’t die. If I remember correctly, he’s been willing to kill his Mum on more than one occasion to make sure Chloe will be okay. He’s always, for some reason, been afraid to actually tell Chloe the truth. My guess is that he’s afraid of rejection. So, if we go by that, I guess both Chloe’s “I will always forgive you”, and Linda’s “I chose to be your friend”, could potentially give him a reason to tell her the truth. It makes sense. It’s not ooc. However, what I find so incredibly ooc is that he chooses to let Chloe in on all of this, that will no doubt affect her a lot more than it does Linda, right after Linda almost died. The one thing that Lucifer has been keeping Chloe from since day 1, just happened to Linda, because she knows the truth. This is cold, hard proof that knowing the truth is dangerous, so why would Lucifer, knowingly, put Chloe in danger? I seriously can’t come up with anything that makes sense. Let’s move on before I go insane.

To end this, here’s a reason as to why I didn’t like it that doesn’t have anything to do with being ooc or a having a fanservice feel to it: How oddly the ending scenes parallel the 2x13 ending scenes. Like idk, to me it’s just seriously weird: 2x13: Chloe’s life is saved. She and Lucifer talk about something emotional, and Lucifer is being angsty. He leaves with a motive to do something that will have a huge impact on their relationship. 2x18: Linda’s life is saved. She and Lucifer talk about something emotional, and Lucifer is being angsty. He leaves with a motive to do something that will have a huge impact on his and Chloe’s relationship. 2x13: Chloe leaves a voicemail to Lucifer about how they need to talk about something important [their relationship], and says she’s coming over “now”. 2x18 Lucifer leaves a voicemail to Chloe about how they need to talk about something important [him, but it will affect their relationship], and says he’s coming over “now”. 2x13: Chloe discovers that Lucifer is gone. 2x18: Lucifer gets kidnapped or something, and seems to not make it over to Chloe. 2x13: Chloe is alone in a deserted penthouse. 2x18: Lucifer is alone in a literal desert. (Bonus: they’re both finales)

I mean, come on. They’re incredibly similar. Now for what makes them odd: First Chloe is dying, but for some reason, it’s suddenly Linda who’s in the middle of all this. Both times, Lucifer’s motives could potentially destroy their relationship. The first time because he shuts himself down and leaves, the second because he opens up, and actively seeks her out. (this boy just can’t win can he?) Both times, they don’t end up meeting. The first time, it’s Lucifer who chooses to leave, the second time it’s by force. Both times, it’s Lucifer who’s missing, but the POV is changed. As for the last one, that’s just incredibly ironic.

Other than Lucifer’s sudden decision to tell Chloe, this is what pisses me off the most. Like it really grinds my gears. I think it’s mainly because, unlike the other part, I can’t figure out why the hell these are so goddamn similar and so incredibly different at the same time. I literally have nothing. Not a single clue as to what any of this could mean. Will it mean that Chloe will feel betrayed, once again? Will it mean that we’ll have to go through a rehash of 2x14-18 again?

Whatever is going on, I will say, I do have faith in the writers. I really do. They’ve pulled through with these odd and confusing plot twists before, and they’ve always managed to answer every question I’ve had. I don’t know why, but this one just bothers me a lot more. I think it’s mainly because the parallels are so painfully obvious and at the same time so different and I can’t figure out why.

This was nice to get out, I guess. I’m not really sure if this even counts as a meta anymore tbh. I hope I didn’t ramble too much, and that this made some sort of sense. If anyone actually bothered to read this, maybe it sparked some ideas and theories? I’d love to know what everyone else is thinking, whether it’s good or bad. have a nice day lol
