Reader goes into the tide pools and meets Belos like with Lilith and Luz in that one episode
giving me an excuse to rewatch Elsewhere Elsewhen AND write 1600s Philip? IM ON IT.
Part 2
Philip Wittebane x Reader
----------------------------
You didn't think the time pools would actually work.
The topic of them came up during a conversation you were having with a store owner and reminded you of the days you used to pretend to find them. You had some makeshift toy that didn't really work, you would crawl into one side of a hollow log and exit out the other side acting like you were in the future.
It was fun as a kid so you thought to go back to that place and revisit those memories. You didn't expect to fall into the sand and end up centuries into the past. Your immediate reaction was to hop right back in and back away. As you scrambled out of the time pool you took a second to breathe.
Once the initial anxiety had died down a bit, a thought crossed your mind.. why not?
How many witches could really say they had been in a time pool? Most demons you knew didn't even believe in them and that included you until now. You had considered the risks, but the tide wouldn't be coming quite some time.
...Fuck it.
You stood up and peeked your head back in. The beach hadn't seemed to different too the one you were currently on, yet you had spotted a group of witches celebrating something. With what you remembered from your days at school you recognized the outfits as those from the Deadwardian era.
Then you realized you'd probably stick out a bit with your modern clothing, not to mention the bloody fly effect.
After you pulled yourself through the portal, you moved to the trees to grab a few large leaves and makeshift yourself a hat. Once you adjusted your clothes to look a little more aged and you were satisfied, you headed into the town.
It was so surreal to see things that you had only read in history books. What was even stranger was how calm and kind things were in this era. You were pretty sure that these were considered the savage ages, wasn't wild magic dangerously rampant?
Before you could dwell too much on the thought, the sound of a door slamming made you turn swiftly in the direction. You looked to see a man kick at the door before stumbling back and yelling at the person inside. He adjusted his jacket and began stomping off, too angry to notice that he had dropped something.
You rushed over to pick it up and tap his shoulder. The man audibly groaned before turning to you and as you held out the pen that he had nearly lost, your eyes widened.
"You're human." You spoke before you could stop yourself.
He paused before sighing and taking his pen from you harshly. "Here to poke fun? I'll have you know that I have no intention in wasting my time-"
You waved your hands panickedly. "No, I've just never met a human before." You couldn't help but have a genuine fascination in meeting someone from a completely different world.
There was a look of confusion, maybe conflict before it fell and he turned away. He wasn't sure what you were looking for from him but he wasn't going to fall for those sparkling eyes. There was clearly ill intent behind them, even if he couldn't see it just yet.
The man forced a smile and turned to leave, not expecting you to follow him. He looked over to you as you shoved your hands towards him and told him your name.
The human stopped, staring at you hard. He could see a determination in your eyes that told him he wasn't getting out of this easy.
He sighed before taking your hand and shaking it. "My name is Philip Wittebane."
You two had begun walking together, you were mostly taking in the sights while pointing at things you found interesting. He had tried several times to sneak off from you but you had stayed resilient.
Philip had decided to not waste his opportunity by asking you questions and you had plenty for him as well.
He wouldn't admit that he was sort of enjoying the company, it was simply a by product from traveling alone for as long as he had been.
That was it.
Philip had sat on a bench with you joining in the seat right beside him. You leaned into him and peeked at his journal, then you noticed that he was drawing the bird a few feet in front of the two of you.
You looked back and forth between it and then pointed excitedly at his sketch. "Hey, that's really good!"
He shot up and his voice stuttered. "Oh, uhm- Thank you."
It was a challenge trying not to react at how close you had gotten, he tried to force his focus onto his journal.
You seemed to be rather comfortable around him, the whole walk you spoke so passionately about everything you told him. He was trying to understand why you were so excited around him even when his answers had been cold and short.
Then he heard you gasp lightly and looked up to see what the issue was. He followed your eyes to a sketch he had done while you two had been walking. It wasn't anything impressive by his standards, a simple silhouette drawing of you and him.
"Is that me?" You questioned.
He nodded and felt his face grow red at the genuine smile on your face.
What is this?
What were you doing to him?
This curse that you had plagued him with forced words out of his mouth. "Do you.. like it?"
He didn't understand why he cared, in fact he shouldn't care what a witch had to say about his work. He didn't care.
He didn't have to force down a smile when you nodded and asked to see more drawings, he didn't purposefully scoot closer to you while you two looked through his book and he definitely did not sneak peeks at that adorable look on your face as you awed over his things.
Then came nightfall and you explained that you had to go and that you weren't sure that you could come back.
Philip nodded and held out his hand, he ignored the twist in his stomach and realized that it was for the best. Lest he fall to the temptation that had twisted his brother.
Instead of taking it, you pulled him in for a hug since you probably wouldn't see him again. The chance that you could find another time pool was incredibly rare and not to mention that this was four hundred years in the past.
You felt him slowly put his arms around you until you pulled away.
"Goodbye, Philip." You called out as you began to run towards the beach before the tide came in.
He waved to you, memorizing the sound of your voice and the look in your eyes. Perhaps he could not have you, as you were a demon and he would never see you again, but he could have your memory.
You made it to the time pools and took a couple tries before you had found your time and hopped back into it. As you got out to the other side and landed on top of the sand, you felt the tide hit your ankles. That was it then. You wondered if you could find something about Philip in the library somewhere.
Just to check if things had fared well for him.
The next week had been much calmer for you compared to the adventure you had gone on, but you still smiled at the fact that not only had you met a human but you befriended him.
No one would believe it.
As you carried your goods to the Emperor's castle and helped unloaded packages with a few other workers, you felt eyes on you. You looked behind you to see the Emperor himself, the fact that he had been there at all had surprised you.
It had even surprised you enough to miss the recognition in his eyes as he whispered your name under his breath.

Hunter coming out to Luz as bi
OKAY here i am like over 6 months later LMAO
like whattt? im not dead?? i know, i know. my deepest apologies
i have already written him coming out in flapjacks with syrup so if you want more go read that too not to self promote agskgjjghh (i will be updating that soon just saying 👀)
but here’s some headcanons!
lemme see, theres so many ways for this to go. lets entertain just a couple tho lol
scenario #1
its july and luz is getting/making pride merch for everyone bc shes trying to make it a thing on the isles. at least a little holiday. perhaps a parade? itll be fun!
and she realizes she has no clue what hunters deal is. is he straight? aroace, maybe. that guy is married to his work.
shes trying to keep this pride thing a surprise so she asks him nonchalantly like “hey broooo i was just wondering. whats your sexuality. a friend wanted to know.”
and he bluescreens
“uh. i— i dont know, actually.”
he never really thought about it. hes always been too busy being attracted to them books lmao
he has to get back to her in two business days at least 😂😂😂
he basically spends those days spacing out and scaring his classmates by intensely staring at them.
hunter discovers that he generally feels the same about any gender. and he didnt really have a preference when imagining his future having a wife, husband, or partner. as long as they made him happy
and everyone was really pretty. hexside had quite a lot of cute witches and demons
but honestly, he still didn’t really find himself wanting to start a relationship with any of them (gee wonder why)
he chalks it up to the fact that he’s focusing on his studies and apprenticeship right now and has no time for romance
besides, if he had a partner, he’d have even less time to spend with luz his friends
he finds luz up in a tree behind the owl house, nose in a book. shes so focused on the story that she doesn’t even hear him approach
“LUZ!”
“WHA—“
she was so startled she fell put of the tree. hunter tried to catch her he really did but they both wound up crashing down to the ground in a heap
oof
luz shoved him off her, laughing “first you give me a heart attack and now you try to crush me? i thought we were friends now, hunter!”
“sorry, sorry,” he wheezed as he rolled over in the soft grass
luz went and retrieved her book from where she accidentally threw it, “so what did you need me for?”
“oh, i just wanted to tell you i think i figured out my sexuality now, like you asked,”
“thats okay. i didnt mean to presure you so you dont have t—”
he sat up, “im bisexual,”
liz gasped “OH SWEET, twinsies!”
she got matching bandanas for them. cowboy vibes lol
luz did successfully get the annual pride parade set up in the isles. hard to say no to her shes a force of nature and also kinda a celebrity now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
scenario #2
luz has just assumed he’s gay
bc they often talk about guys they think are cute. like if theyre at the mall food court (without the hexsquad) and see any hot guys they are thoroughly checking them out and giggling like school girls
its not something she can do with amity (obviously), vee or willow. plus, she trusts that hunter isnt about to go squealing to her girlfriend about her attraction to men she has no plans on pursuing
its a good bonding activity, okay. if you cant thirst over cute guys with your bestie are they really your bestie
alas, because of this, luz never reads too much into the moments they have together. hunter let a hug linger a little too long? he lets her eat off his fork? puts his arm around her on the couch? just friendly behavior. its not like he likes her or anything. bc hes gay right
anyway. theyre like, at a chinese restaurant picking up takeout for the gang and the cashier is just adorable. miss teen connecticut. the cutest girl ever. they both stutter their words and awkwardly fumble around while picking up this order. hunter almost dropped the food and luz signed her name as Liz Noda on the receipt
they get out of there and start laughing once they reach the car
“guess its bi disaster hour am i right?” hunter joked
luz laughed but then it hit her
“wait. you like girls?”
hunter looked at her confused, “yeah?”
“oh…” she trails off,
and hunter starts the car and drives off, not even giving the conversation a second thought
meanwhile luz is dead silent in the passenger seat like
Tumblr media
she be rethinking everything agsjfjjhh
OKAY SECRET 3RD SCENARIO!
tboy!luz au :3
okay so luz is scared bc he’s finally worked out his gender. he’s a guy.
its what pushes him to break up with amity. its amicable at least
and so as luz moves on with his life, and starts falling for hunter, he’s scared hunter wont like him now bc he’s trans
and once hunter finds out about that, he’s putting a stop to it fast. like:
“dude. im bi. i dont care if youre a boy or a girl. youre luz. and i like luz.”
and they live happily ever after the end agajdjjg

Hey there! Can I request headcannons of some boys (Dick, Lip, Eugene Roe and Luz) with reader (a soldier, not a medic) who's treating their wounds? I see it as something intimate and heart-pumping...
Btw thank you for all you writings (they're fantastic) and keeping the fandom alive 🙏
Ooohhhhh this is juicy!! Also tysm for your lovely comments I'm honestly just out here doing what I love doing and it always shocks me when people actually like it🥺❤
Dick Winters
The shrapnel in his shin is extremely painful.
Fortunately but also unfortunately the feeling of your gentle fingers tending to his wound was an excellent distraction.
They were so soft despite the callouses that were there from your time in training.
Everytime the pad of your fingertip brushed against the skin of his leg he felt a jolt and had to fight not to twitch.
He was so busy focusing on trying not to twitch that he didn't even realise you were done.
"Earth to Lieutenant Winters?" You chuckled, waving your hand in front of his face.
He blushed crimson right to the tip of his ears at the idea that you'd caught him daydreaming. He stuttered and stumbled over his words because you were staring back at him with those eyes and he felt like a fool.
You of course thought it was adorable.
Cawood Lipton
Lip is very quiet while you're patching him up...too quiet.
He's trying his best to breathe evenly and not say something stupid because your face is inches from his and it's intoxicating.
And your fingers are so gentle, caressing his cheek as you clean his wound and put a bandage on it.
He can feel your breath tickle his cheek every time you exhale and its driving him insane but he can't. move.
Once you're finished your brush your thumb against his cheek fondly and smile and his heart absolutely explodes in his chest, he just hopes you can't hear it.
Eugene Roe
Roe is determined that he can look after his wound himself. "It's just a little scrape" he says.
Partially because he really thinks it's no big deal and partially because he knows if he let's you at it he'll do something stupid.
But eventually you win the battle, and you make him sit down so you can check out his arm.
You hold his hand gently as you reach around him to grab the alcohol wipes and the bandage, and his skin feels like its on fire in a way that has nothing to do with the wound.
You're so delicate and careful, and he marvels as he watches you go through the motions.
Once you're finished you squeeze his hand affectionately and his stomach flutters in the most ridiculous way.
George Luz
He goes out of his way to get you to look after him.
Every minor scrape or cigarette burn: he's coming to you.
He loves how you roll your eyes when you see him coming and how careful you always are no matter how trivial the scrape may be.
Its his excuse to be close to you and he makes no secret of it, so of course you love to wind him up.
A featherlight touch here, a lingering glance there, anything you can to drive him just a little bit mad.
Plus you love to see him squirm as he tries to hide his reactions, it's quite hilarious really the effort he goes to.

hihi i love ur artwork. i was wondering ur opinion on this: is it considered cheating for an artist to trace what they’re going to draw? ex, someone wants to draw george luz and uses a picture of him to trace and then later on touch up details without the picture? thank you!
hi thanks for the ask! short answer is yes i think is a totally normal and good way to learn and become familiar with proportions/likenesses 👍 it’s all good with me babey. longer answer under da cut
but the longer answer. first of all calling tracing “cheating” is such bullshit because it’s been used as a method for artists for literal centuries so idk what their beef is with it. that being said i do think it should be used kind of carefully bc it can develop into a habit of relying too much on the reference and not bettering your own skills.
and maybe this is just me but also it depends on where the reference is coming from- if you’re making your own ref i say go ahead and go nuts with it. i have so many embarrassing pics of myself that ive traced to get the pose down lol. for me ive always had a hard time with feet and use my own shoes regularly to help get an angle/shape right! using like screenshots of a show or something you found online is a little trickier… idk maybe because you didn’t specifically make it? something about that sticks in my head and makes me more hesitant about leaning too heavily on it. but still i’d never say that tracing a screenshot constitutes as “cheating”
i will gladly admit i straight up do trace outside sources when i am confused about proportions or REALLY INSANE about getting likeness done but i do really try to only use it very sparingly if its not a reference i specifically made. and that’s really only in the very beginning stages of a drawing- i’ll make a loose sketch based on the ref, then refine it into a tighter sketch and THEN use the reference to adjust proportions if they are particularly off (or to see if i am off), and then im usually done with the tracing. then i usually have another refining layer and THEN i do finished lineart. i really want to improve my observation skills and knowledge of anatomy/clothing/likeness so trying to work through it without relying on tracing is my goal!
but hey thats just MY process. no one is over your shoulder telling you what you can and cannot do. even i cant tell you what the correct process is! i just think you should use the tools available to you but dont let them interfere with refining your technical skills 👍

Does the watcher laugh? - TOH S3 fic
just a quick drabble partly based on a videogame scene, re-adapted of course, for people who miss when Collector was meaner, right?
Warnings for: slight gore, violence, mentions of unhealthy relationships.
The world was still under the pale grinning moon, the kids had been able to get Belos to drop the ruse and falling out of Raine´s body forcefully , immediately caught in tightly knit ribbons that seemed to cut through Belos form as he was tied up by Collector.
Raine remained unconscious in Eda´s gentle hold as the teenagers held themselves back from making the wrong move around Collector, who seemed to be awfully still with a vacant expression looking down as their extended arm held a tight grasp on Philip.
And then , he let out a chuckle.
The chuckle turned into a long, sinister laugh, as the star child started swirling around Belos .
"I get it now. I get it!" he said as he floated down to the ground.
Collector giggled and put their hands over their face, a red glowing eye creeping through his two fingers and a peek of a huge grin underneath, staring at Belos.
"Poor me... I'm just a boy, a normal boy." Philip stared back with a putrefied frown , sunken in eye sockets only illuminated by the glow of blue irises.
"Huh? What's this?" Collector flicked their finger and Philip was forcefully pulled onto the ground, splattering and breaking brittle bones. Hunter stepped further back and Gus covered him aside, ever growing fear of it getting on them again.
"This dirt?" Collector grinned wickedly as he pointed down at Philip´s ever decomposing form, stepping on one of the exposed bones and crushing it with his shoe,
"Forget the isles and help me! You foolish man!" the child mocked , and Luz held her staff tightly, jumping a bit at the sound of creaking bones,
"Please , help me! Please.. come back...my brother." Philip´s form bubbled up as his eyes shot up wide at Collector, who closed in on him , hands in a pleading position to mock him further.
Hunter´s arms seemed to go limp and his knees weakened , feeling Willow´s reassuring hold on him keeping him steady still, but a bad feeling bubbled in further inside his stomach.
"Shut it! ...Stop it!" the man exclaimed, hopelessly begging but only motivating Collector further.
"I can see into your soul." Collector´s laugh and smile faltering, crescent pupils turning into thin pricks with disdain, circling in Philip again as their shadows multiplied and wrapped around the monstrous man, faces in wicked glee upon being able to set pure terror onto Philip´s heart,
"I hate you! I hate her! Filth! This realm needs destroying!" the boy walked around with arms gesturing all over as they exclaimed in anger, imitating Belos.
"I'm dirty, I'm tainted! Im no witch-hunter! Im no emperor! I renounce it, please just save me...my brother! Forget her! Come back!" Collector put his sleeves over their eyes as if he was crying, while the rest of the kids started feeling nauseous.
"ENOUGH!" Philip snapped at Collector and the ribbons strangled him more, the shadows laughing through his suffering and shame, Luz baffled and terrified at how the man was brought down to shambles by just cruel mockery of his obsession.
"You failed at playing witch-hunter. You failed at playing emperor. Now what?" Collector crouched down to meet Philip´s eyes, with a flick on the lack of nose of the monster, the slimy fluid immediately sizzling off Collector´s skin, unable to seep in.
"There´s nothing left for you in this world or the next."
The ribbons glowed in a blinding red aura around Philip as he watched himself bubble and fire up, every bit of him burning from the inside out, Gus immediately covering up Hunter´s eyes as Willow kept them both close and shielded, Amity grabbing onto Luz´s arm as she was paralyzed in place, eyes wide at the display, unable to hear Amity telling her to look away, Eda tightly holding Raine as she tried to keep herself calm, feathers sprouting in terror at the sight of the spell. Philip screeched out in reckless abandon to try to slip out in any way possible, but it just kept tightening in further and further until there was nothing left but a scorch mark and a speckle of dust left behind, every bit of Philip Wittebane gone to the wind.
The Collector stepped over the scorch mark and kicked off the dust, their face bitter and disappointed to have been lead on for that long by someone that hopeless.
He looks up at the pale face in the moon and tries to smile.
" At least you could find it funny."

Grown out
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WATCHING AND DREAMING SPOILERS!
Summary: Now that they're older, Amity is confident shes not ticklish anymore. Luz thinks otherwise.
Characters: Lee!Amity Ler!Luz
(Amity is the ler for a little in the beginning, but it switches fast -)
Ship: Lumity
This is a tickle fic. If you're not into that kind of stuff, please leave.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Luz and Amity sat on a hill, a perfect view over the city of Bonesborough. Luz smiled, "Im glad we're finally finished building. It was so exhausting!" She said. Amity chuckled, "You didn't have to help us, you know.
Luz nodded, "I had to. This place is pretty much my second home." She said.
Amity sighed, "It's weird how long it's been. It's like we were fourteen just yesterday." Amity said, looks up to the sky.
Luz chuckled, "It really has been a while, huh? I remember all the silly shenanigans we would get into." She said.
Amity let out a giggle, "Remember when Hooty almost swallowed that one delivery humans hand?" She said.
Luz shuddered, "How could I forget? We had to wrestle him just to free that poor girl." Luz said.
Amity smirked and glanced at Luz, "I remember how I used to absolutely wreck you in tickle fights!"
A light blush appeared on Luz's face, "Hey! I had my moments. Besides, I've grown out of that stuff." She said.
Amity raised an eyebrow, "Reallyy?" She said in a mischievous tone. Luz looked at her confused before letting out a giggle as she felt something brush her sides.
"Not ticklish anymore, huh?" Amity teased. Luz frowned, "I was so confident!" She whined.
"Well, unlike youuu! I actually grew out of it. My ears are as normal as yours now!" She boasted.
Luz smirked, "Oh yeah?" She said before lunging at the girl, holding her down. "Let's see then." Luz said, smiling as Amitys eyes widened.
"W-We dont have to do that!" Amity stammered. Ignoring her protest, Luz started gently brushing her fingers against the witch's ears.
Amity bit her lip, holding back her giggles. Luz raised a brow, "Come on, Mittens! Let me hear your cute little laugh!" Luz teased.
Amitys face went red. "S-shuhut- uhuhup!" She said, giggles shaking her voice. Luz let out a dramatic gasp. "My heart! It's broken! You deserve to be punished for how rude that was!" She joked.
Moving her hands, she scribbled them down Amity's sides. This got a reaction. Amity burst into a fit of giggles. "Luhuhuz nohoho!" She said.
Luz grinned, "Not ticklish, mi amor? Luz teased. Amity didn't respond, her face just getting redder. Luz smiled, "You're laughs are adorable, but I want to hear one more thing..: Luz said.
She shot her hands under Amitys arms. The girl squealed and burst into laughter. "LUHUHUZ! *snort* NOHOHO!" Amity said.
"Theres the snorts! As cute as I remember!" Luz teased.
"SHUHUT *snort* UHUHUP!" Amity's laughter was contagious, and Luz was laughing with her.
"I have one final thing!" She said. Lifting up Amity's shirt a bit, Amity's eyes widened. "Luhuhuz, no!" She begged.
Luz winked at her before blowing a raspberry onto her belly. This sent Amity into hysterics. Luz kept blowing raspberry after raspberry.
"CUHUHUHT IT OHOHOUT!" Amity yelled. After a while, Luz finally stopped, releasing the girl. Amity gasped, still giggling.
"Yohour a jerk.." she muttered. Luz helped her sit up. "Im your jerk!" Luz said, making the witch's face go red again.
"Yeah, you're right." She said, looking up and kissing Luz's cheek before leaning on her, watching the view over the aisles.
"Looking back, Im glad I chased Owlbert through the door." Luz said.
Amity smiled, "Me too."

TRUTH OR KISS THE CAPTAIN?
(quick Huntlow oneshot. Takes place after Kings tide and after they’ve defeated Belos. Still in the human realm)
What in titans name was that?! 
      Willow quickly ducked as a flying object zoomed right where her face should’ve been.  She had literally just walked out onto the porch and almost had a heart attack.
    “Sorry!” Gus called, a sheepish look on his guilty face. 
      “What are y’all doing?” 
       “We’re playing a human sport! It’s called Frizbee~ And guess what? Im winning!” he said with the confidence of a charming prince.
        This put a smile on her face. It had only been a few months since they’d come over through the portal and everything seemed to be ok. Sure.. they had to finally defeat Belos.. like literally again. But thissss time, he was captured. And until they figured out what to do with him, he’d sit in that glass jar next to Ms. Noceda’s tv. 
        She looked up at the sky, noticing the rain clouds forming, the suns light shining less. Under normal circumstances, we’ll Boiling Isles circumstances, she’d be rushing to get her plants inside, but here, the rain didn’t boil. Instead, they helped the plants grow!  
        Just as suddenly as Willow went to walk down the steps, did Luz bolt out the door, and jumped right on her. Nearly knocking her into the railing, Willow quickly grasped the rail for support.  “Eeeee! Guys I’ve got a gaaaaame for us!” 
         “ ANOTHER GAME??!” Gus shouted excitedly 
.
.
.
       “So what exactly are the rules to this game? “ Amity asked her girlfriend. 
       “Soooooo. We all sit in a circle, one of will go first, and then we spin the bottle, and whoever it lands on has to answer, TRUTH OR DARE” 
         “……”
        “I wanna go first!” Gus exclaimed. He then quickly grabbed the bottle and spun it. The end of it landed on Luz.
     “Ooooh hit me!” 
      “Ok. Truth or dare?” He asked with a smirk.
       “Dare!” 
      “ ok. I dare you to… uhm…. Oh! I dare you to jump off the roof!” 
      “WHAT?!” The whole group exclaimed.
      “Hey hey.. I got this.” Luz replied a confident smile on her face and stood up. Amity quickly grabbed her hand and pulled her down before turning and giving Gus a death glare. 
      “Ok. New rule. No deadly dares. Gus? Choose something else. ” 
       Gus chuckled nervously. “Ok. I dare you. To… give Hunter a hug.” 
        Hunters face immediately went from concentration to disgust. “No. Luz! You are NOT hugging me. “
        “Ohh come on Hunty Bunny! Just a quick hug from your favorite sister!” Luz laughed then quickly tackled Hunter into.. well.. willow wasn’t sure. It was almost a hug aside of Hunters arms in between them, pushing her away. This brought a round of chuckles from everybody. 
        Luz then took her sat back down, and with a large smirk on her face she declared, “oh this is gonna be good. I can feel it. “ 
         Luz spun the bottle. Willow watched it with wonder. She still didn’t understand how the bottle sealed an oath to complete by just pointing in your direction. Well atleast that’s what Luz said… somehow Willow wasn’t buying it.
            Amusingly enough, it pointed in none other, than Hunters direction. This brought on a very sinister smirk upon Luz’s face and a terrified one to Hunter’s.
             “Truth or Daaare. Hunter?” She taunted, leaning into her hands towards him. 
             Willow watched as Hunter clearly fought internally on what decision to make. His eyes then brought a glint that she had seen one too many times before. He was not about to back down from a challenge. 
        “Dare.” 
         “I dare you to kiss Willow!” Luz rushed out in less than a second. 
         “Eep!” Willow felt her face flush immediately as the heat crept up to her face. The once confident Hunter immediate lost his composure and turned as red as she felt. As he was sitting next to her, he looked around the circle at everyone before looking back at her. 
            Amity calmly grabbed her girlfriend’s hand and asked with concern. “Batata.. are you sure that’s the dare you want to give? I mean, you don’t really wanna force that on Willow.” She said with raised eyebrows, practically pleading with Luz. 
             Luz seemed torn, clearly wanting to match make and get them to finally get together. To be honest, Willow was kind of on board with it. Maybe..
            “ok. Actually I da-“
           “No! He can’t do that! What happens if he breaks the oath?” Willow shouted before sheepishly covering her mouth. This brought a concerned look from Gus and Vee, a confused one from Amity, a still red face from Hunter, his brows now raised at her, and smirk from Luz. 
         “Are-are. Are you okay with this?” Hunter asked. He rubbed his neck, avoiding eye contact but obviously seemed ok with the idea. She could tell by the small smile he tried to hide. 
        She thought about it for a second.  Was she okay with this? Of course she wanted to kiss him. Would she have preferred it under different circumstances? Sure. But she wasn’t exactly all for the extreme romantic stuff like Amity and Luz. There was no denying that she did indeed have a crush on the soldier boy.  She’d realized it during their last fight with Belos… well accepted it. To be honest she kind of had a crush on him from the get go, but after what he did. Who he was (at the time)! She couldn’t let her heart be hurt again. And especially couldn’t let her friends and team down again reguarding him. She looked back up at him, more shyly than before. They were definitely gonna have to talk about this later. 
          “Go ahead.”
         Hunter look exasperated. “C-Captain? Are you sure?” 
          “I’m sure. Why? Are you not gonna accept the challenge?- er fulfill the oath!” She mumbled, feeling the heat in her face becomes hotter. 
           And there it was again. That glint, that sparkle she had grown so fond of. He was not backing out of this, and she didn’t mind one bit. 
            Hunter slowly leaned towards her, eyes asking her again if she was ok with it. She nodded her head, unable to take her eyes off his. He then focused on her lips as he drew close enough, and finally their lips met. It was like magic she had never felt before.
            His lips gently caressed hers and they both seemed to forget about the others. Willow found herself in between Hunters arms, one around her waist, the other cupping her face as his lips continued to caress hers. They both seemed to forget about the others. Willow snaked her arm up and around his neck, pulling him closer, deepening the kiss.  It went on for what felt like seconds, not lasting long enough before they had to part for breath. 
            Willow was the first to remember where they were feeling an immense heat flood her face. She quickly shoved Hunter away from her and covered her face.   
            “Woohoo!” She heard Luz shout. “It’s about time. Really. It is. Like I’ve been watching you two tiptoe around eachother for weeks now!” 
             “Luz?”
             “And oh my gosh, it took me a little longer to notice Willows feelings but right from the get go, you could just telll Hunter was drooling all over!”
            “Luz! Batata!” 
             Willow glanced up to find the couple in a quiet argument, Amity clearly trying to get Luz to give the two a moment. While Vee and Gus had covered each others eyes. 
           “Is it over?” Gus asked.
             “Yeah.. it’s over.” Hunter spoke up quietly before getting up and walking out of the room. 
              “Where are you going Hunter? It’s your turn now!” Gus called. 
             With no response, the four of them looked at Willow. She shrugged her shoulders before letting them know they could continue and she’d go check on him. 
          As she toured through the house to look for him, She spotted Camila in the kitchen. “He went out on to the porch” she smiled knowingly. 
          “Thank Ms. Noceda” Willow smiled back at their caregiver. She always had a way of knowing exactly what any of them needed. 
           She quickly made her way out to the porch, he wasn’t there. “Hunter?” She walked out. 
          But.. where could he be? 
           And then she spotted him. About 20 feet away, standing under a great oak (as she had learned, not giving Ms. Noceda a decent break in their first outing to learn the names of every plant and tree she saw) in the rain. 
            His face was pointed towards the sky, eyes closed, a troubled expression on his face. “Hunter?” She called as she walked towards him. Rain falling on her now as well. 
           “Willow? Go inside, you’ll get sick. You shouldn’t be out here”
          She winced at the force behind his voice. She was confused, did that kiss mean nothing to him? She knew it was for a game but… she still felt like it was something more to it, to him. 
          “I-I’m sorry Hunter. If- of I’d have known you didn’t feel the same way I would’ve never let you kiss me!” She cried now. She then turned around and headed back for the porch, curled fists, her heart felt like it was broken… 
           “Didn’t feel the same?” She heard him ask, a very confused look on his face as he grabbed her arm and gently forced her to turn around. “What in titans name are you talking about?” 
               Still standing in the rain. She wiped her eyes, she felt a mix of shame and confusion. “If.. if I’d have known, you didn’t like me too. I wouldn’t have let you kiss me Hunter. I thought, I thought the feeling was mutual…” she tightly grabbed her left arm, avoiding eye contact now. 
                “You’re right Willow. We don’t feel the same. “ Hunter sighed apologetic. Letting her arm go now. “I’m sorry Willow. I love you. I think I always have… but you, you see me as a friend I guess. And then. You said it was ok for me to kiss you, but when we did! You shoved me away like I was gross or you regretted it or something, I don’t know!” He complained waving his arms frantically.
               Willows heart felt like it was gonna jump out her chest. “You..you love me?” 
                He then crossed his arms, now drenched in the rain, he looked away from her indignantly. A blush across her face. Brown lowered in a pout. “Of-of course I do Captain. You’re the prettiest, strongest, kindest witch I know. Who wouldn’t?” He asked as if she just asked the craziest thing in the world. 
                 Before she could give him a chance to reject her, she quickly snagged him into a tight hug. Not caring about how cold their clothes were from the wet. Finally realizing why he reacted the way he did. “Hunter, I love you too! I just.. didn’t think it was well, soon enough to use that word. We haven’t even gone on a date yet!” She laughed as she pull away slightly to look up at him. 
            His magenta eyes held so much hope in them “Really? “ he asked desperately, eyes begging her to not be lying to him. “I-I know I still have a lot of uhm, therapy and stuff I have to do like Ms. Noceda said, but I would love to take you out.. I just. I always thought you saw me as a friend. And I never knew how to act properly around you! You never acted nervous or anything around me like I did, so I just-“
            His rant was cut off as she pressed her lips to his again. This time, not holding back as before around the others. His chapped lips from before were gentle and sweet as before, now we’re from the rain. It was like out of that movie they watched two weeks ago, the notebook. Kissing in the rain. She giggled as she felt him smile into the kiss. Parting for breath, she looked up at him with a loving smirk. “Does that prove anything to you?” 
            “Yes Captain. It does.” He smiled brilliantly, eyes full of joy as he picked up and spun her around. They laughed and quickly giving eachother another kiss before walking inside, hand in hand.

Fool For Love
Tumblr media
Pairing: George Luz x Female OC
Word count: 5144
Tone: Friends to lovers, pining, angst, late-night phone calls, risky decisions, is it too late?
Summary: She’s more than a little tired at work, but then he comes on the line, after all this time, and she can’t hang up. They get to talking about their days in the war and upcoming reunions, and as it becomes increasingly clear she is hiding from him (and everyone), he resolves to bring her back to them as best he knows how—with his unerring love.

I originally wrote this with Nixon but found it worked much better with George; I was also inspired to write more of George and Talbert’s friendship by the scene in “Points” where they play cards and George’s soothes Tab’s unease. This is also partially a fix-it fic, I must admit, because Talbert all but disappeared from Easy post-war. In this fic, he sticks around.
"Yes, that's exactly it."
George peered down the hall, spying the phone that was usually latched neatly over the kitchen counter now placed to Talbert's ear. His friend nodded slowly, listening to the speaker on the other end.
"Right, you're... busy." 
A muffled something from the other end that might have been 'got to run' or 'give him my love', George couldn't quite tell. Tab swiveled, shuffling over the threshold into the hall. He peered one way, missing the eavesdropper, then spotted him down the other. Waving George over, he pressed the phone to his shoulder.
"Somebody from Easy's on the line. Come say 'hi'."
George grinned. It would be good to hear from one of the guys. The annual reunion was swiftly approaching, and the time of year had rolled about when he really missed the men and the camaraderie they had shared. Sloughing off his jacket, he draped it over the countertop stools as he came up to the phone. Tab held up a finger as he fronted an introduction.
"Yeah, hey, do you have another minute?" A beat, listening. "Great. I've got somebody here who wants to speak to you." A half-smile. "Yes, it's George. Uh-huh. Okay. Talk soon."
"Heya."
Silence for a beat and George had made up his mind to repeat the greeting when:
"Hey, George."
His heart leaped into his throat, and he smoothed his palm over the receiver, swallowing hard.
"Leah." He pinched his nose. "Uh, Corporal Hedgecomb."
"Hey. Hey, how are you?"
"Good." Better now that I'm hearing your voice again. 
Had she always sounded this weary? For most of the war, yes, he remembered well, but he would have thought peacetime would restore her spirits and vigor. He missed the lightheartedness she'd born all throughout Toccoa and Aldbourne, despite Sobel, despite the war, despite the back-breaking sexism she had to carry on top of it all every damn day.
"Look, George, I'd love to chat, but I'm real busy-"
"Please don't go."
He could almost picture her pursing her lips, those sweet lips, the ones he should have kissed so long ago.
"Oh, alright." 
She leaned away from the receiver and called to someone nearby, her voice distant as she pleaded with an apparent coworker to take up her station for another few minutes. 
"I can stay a little longer."
"Good. Great." He searched for something to say that wouldn't scare her away. Realizing too late he hadn't returned the cordial question, he extended it now: "How're you, Corporal?"
"Busy," she said, and it seemed almost a joke but for the strain present in her voice when she answered. "It's not bad, though, work keeps me occupied."
He smiled fondly down at his shoes. "You haven't changed, then."
"What do you mean?"
"You said that a lot back in, uh, Mourmelon, and Hemmen."
"Did I? It seems like so long ago."
"But not long enough."
They both knew he meant the absence of war, not the distance its end put between them.
"Hear-hear. Oh, and George—you don't need to call me ‘Corporal’. We're not in the service anymore."
"Ah. Right."
A few seconds as George considered whether or not to just be out with it already or mention something less monumental. On one hand, he was running out of time, on the other, he could mess this all up with three little words and listen to the phone click off, his ardor dismissing him from her cares.
"It's been a while, hasn't it?" Leah asked, soothing the tension steadily rising like a high tide up to their chests and their hearts. 
"It's good to hear your voice."
"Yeah, yours, too."
He glanced at a split envelope on the counter and gathered a question he hadn't realized was burning him up until that very instant. 
"About the reunion...?"
"Yeah, yeah. I got your letter, and the one from Sink, with the fancy seal and the flag stamp and the big, official heading-"
"You're not coming."
A long, long pause, broken only by a sigh that barely bled through the wiring.
"Yeah."
"That's not really an answer, Leah."
"No, I'm not coming."
"Why not?"
"I- it just doesn't- it wouldn't work out."
George squared his jaw, scared she was implying what he feared she always might.
"I mean, business really kicks up around here this time of the year, and I don't know if they can spare me. Not that I'm vital to the department, or anything, but any personnel they can keep will help."
"Uh-huh." 
At her slow sigh, he gathered she'd easily picked up on his skepticism.
"What's the real reason, Leah?"
She didn't answer for a good fifteen seconds. George attended his watch to distract himself from the weight of her silence.
"George, I'm sorry, but d'you really think any of the fellas wanna remember they served with a broad? No."
"What? That's bullshit! Why the hell would you think that?"
"Watch your mouth, buster, you're a bad influence."
"What?"
"If you go off like that, I'll do it, too, and I can't be swearing like a sailor anymore. I've gotta be all proper in the office."
"What about out of it?"
"Since when am I ever not at work, these days?" She scoffed wryly, drily. "Nevermind."
"Corporal Hedgecomb, I swear to God, if I have to send Bill Guarnere and Babe Heffron to kidnap you from whatever martyr's pit you've dug for yourself, I will."
She managed a chuckle, and he could tell it was more for his sake than her own. "Nah, no more foxholes for me. Or for you."
"Or Bill or Babe."
"Don't send them," she warned. "They've got families of their own, right? Kiddos to tend to and others on the way, not to mention their wives, the lovely ladies with enough smarts to handle the three brain cells those two split amongst themselves."
George snorted. "So, no envoys. Alright, I'll drive up there myself and take Perconte with me. God knows he could use the break. Can you believe he doesn't even get Christmas off?"
"No!" 
"I know, right? It's the post office, not the goddamn army-"
"No, no, it's not..." Leah audibly cleared her throat. "I meant about you, um..."
"Oh."
"What I mean to say is it's alright. I don't need the persuasion in person."
"Without it, you won't come to the reunion."
"With it, I'm more likely to stay put. So we're at an impasse."
"Alright, fine, but still, you never answered my question."
"Your question?"
"Why the heck-" He hoped she was smiling. "-would you think the men wouldn't want to remember you?"
"... If I was a man, it'd be different."
"Yeah, no shit, but I just don't get it, Leah. You were everybody's sister, cousin—heck, mother. Without you, Jackson wouldn't still have his face and Hoobler would be missing a whole lot more than a foot."
"But-"
"No. You really should come, doll, you haven't been to the last two."
"And nobody but Lip's seemed to care," she blurted in a voice small even for her five-foot-one frame. "Ignore that, please."
"No, I definitely will not." George glowered at the begonias in the calendar that hung opposite the kitchen counter. "Whoever told you I didn't care is a lying sonuva-"
"George."
It was by her tone that he abruptly understood: no one had imposed this opinion on her, she had conjured it for herself.
His cheeks flamed, akin to his heart. "Goddamnit, Leah, the only people I care as much about as you are Tab and Lip, and you know with them, it's not- it's not the same."
He knew he'd said too much when she didn't try a joke or a chuckle or even a dismissive cough. Instead, she remained silent. A muted voice, another woman's, asked her something and she replied she'd be there in a minute. Her voice returned to him as she brought it back to the receiver.
"I know you tried to find me, once."
George tried and failed to steady his breathing. He hoped Leah couldn't hear just how anxious he'd become.
"How'd you figure that out?"
"You sent Lipton to my door with the biggest bouquet in the state of New York. Now, I've never seen a man more committed to his wife than the good lieutenant, and he doesn't even live up here. What the hell could he be doing so far north other than carrying out some favor for somebody we both knew?"
"And you figured it was me?"
"I didn't have to think too hard on it once I saw the flowers."
"You remember them?"
"They were lilacs, George," she all but whispered. "You're the only one I ever told about those being my favorite."
George sucked in a sharp breath through his teeth, his shoulders stiffening as the breeze against the roof of his mouth went straight to his brain.
"Lip told me you'd just about vanished."
"I wasn't home that day."
A frown creased his brow. "But you saw the flowers."
"A neighbor did, out the window-"
"Don't lie to me, Leah." He set his jaw, trying to keep his voice from breaking. "You never were a good liar."
"Fine! I was there and I didn't open the door. Happy?"
"You hid from him."
The accusation caused her to deflate, signifying its truth. He could sense the change even from the receiving end, her face invisible to his eyes, miles and miles away.
"I thought it was for the best-"
Feeling unable to endure another voice crack from the cage of weary isolation Leah had forced herself into, George interrupted. 
"The best? For who?"
"For you!"
"But not for you."
She choked on her words and coughed to regain them. 
"I'm not some pretty little housewife, George!” she cried. “The war was the only time in my life I felt reasonably put together, and like I could do something. Even better, something worth doing. Really, I don't know what I expected, after it was all over. I can hardly keep myself afloat, nevertheless- no, shit, no, pretend you didn't hear that."
"So that's it." His finger, twirling the spiraling cord around each knuckle, stilled. "You won't come because you don't want their pity."
"Or yours," she reminded with a sternness he knew she rarely possessed. "I want them to remember me better."
"If they can't see you're still our beloved-" My beloved. "-Leah, with a chocolate bar always at hand for some poor homesick sap and the best hugs in the company, then they've all gone crazy and they don't deserve the honor of knowing you."
"The honor?" She scoffed. "Come on, George."
"I mean it. They'll be glad—no, overjoyed—to see you, and if they're not, then- then I'll-"
"What am I supposed to do, pretend everything's fine? While they're off getting married and having families and buying houses and securing steady, profitable occupations, I'm wasting away in the middle of fuck-all nowhere, so far up New York state, you'd be surprised it wasn't Canada, trying not to end up on the streets and so bitterly alone I've started writing poetry! I’m writing sonnets, George, sonnets!”
Leah laughed a sob. George was already reaching for his car keys.
"I'll be there tonight."
"What?"
"I will be there-"
"No. No, you won't."
"Yes, I will. I don't care if it's a five-and-a-half-hour drive. I don't care if you're scared. I don't care if I'm the last person you want to see."
Silence for long enough he guessed she might have hung up. He'd begun to fiddle with the left cuff of his button-down when Leah finally spoke.
"You know how long it would take you to get here."
"What kind of enamored moron would I be if I didn't?"
She laughed, and George wished he could believe it was the call signal that made her sound so hopeless.
"Only if you bring Tab along with you," she said, and he got the sense she was only playing along. "Roll down the windows, the fresh air'll do him good."
"It's December. He'd rather sit in a sauna for five hours."
"Remind me why he still hasn't moved out to California yet?"
"Me," George joked half honestly. "But hey, you're getting me sidetracked. So I'll bring Tab... anything else you want me to pick up on the road?"
"Um." A pause, amid which he could guess she tried to swallow but found her throat too dry. "No."
"If you say so." He checked his watch again, something of a nervous habit. "Y'know, I could probably make it in five hours. The traffic's bound to be lighter the later it gets."
"Uh-huh. You might have to wake me, depending on how late you get here."
"You won't wait up?"
"I work three shifts for two different jobs, George. Sleep is a blessing."
"Right." He swallowed. "Well, you can call in sick tomorrow. To both jobs. And maybe for all the days after that."
"No. No, I can't do that."
"You don't think I'll actually come."
"No, I don't, because I'm really not worth the trip."
Her words sounded like a hammer falling upon a bare anvil, the elements rebounding off of each other with a deafening, heartwrenching clang.
"Leah?"
"Yeah?"
"There's one thing I won't stand from you, and it's that kind of bullshit."
"Wha- what?"
"Don't ever talk like that about my future Mrs. Luz again."
She inhaled sharply into the phone. George squeezed his wrist and prayed that what he was about to do wasn't the most reckless undertaking of his life.
"I'll see you tonight. Probably with a ring. No, not probably. Definitely."
Leah squeaked.
"Damnit, I love you, and I'm not about to stand here while your neverending, wonderful, harmful selflessness keeps you away from the great thing we could be. And from your friends! And happiness! But mostly me. Because I'm selfish like that. But hey, if it means saving you-"
He squeezed his eyes shut, his heart pounding against his ribcage.
"-then I'll be the most selfish man in the world."
"George-"
"I love you. See you in five hours."
He shoved the phone so jaggedly into its cusp that he missed the latch entirely and the implement took a bungee jump toward the kitchen floor. Yelping a curse, he swung it back up and placed it where it belonged, stepping back from the counter with a long sigh. He glanced at the liquor cabinet above the sink in wistfulness but didn't bother to address it further. He'd drive better if he could see straight. Still, the thought of going to her like he'd wanted to all these months and the absurdity of what he was about to do combined were more than enough to make him dizzy. Tab might have to take over for the last of the journey—or, even better, the first, the middle, and the last.
Speaking of the devil's best friend, he'd vanished upstairs to the third-floor study. He never listened in when someone made phone calls like this, even if they were from his own line. Kind of funny, how George wouldn't think twice about eavesdropping whereas Tab went out of his way to avoid overhearing.
"Floyd! Floyd, get down here!"
Swift, steady footsteps, barely preceded by the scrambling scuffs of a chair being shoved backward.
"What is it?" queried his friend from the top of the stairs.
"No time to explain, just get down here!"
Tab proceeded to make his way speedily down, taking the steps two at a time. He followed George around the corner to the garage door, calling his name with another question mark to follow when he received no direct answer. George spun the car keys around so they pressed into his palm, feeling the metal indent his skin as he opened and pushed through the narrow aperture.
"I'm going to go bring my future home, and you're coming with me."
Tab's sigh was almost feigned as he reached back through the doorway to retrieve his coat as well as his friend's. "George, it's almost seven p.m. And I have work tomorrow, as do you."
"So? Love won't wait, my friend." He twirled the keys again and tossed them over the hood of the first of the three vehicles before them. "Besides, you get to drive."
Tab shook his head. "I get to?"
George flashed him a lopsided smile and slid into the passenger's seat. After a beat's more hesitation, his friend followed his prediction and joined him in the car. Tab turned the ignition and they each settled into their accommodations, preparing for the lengthy drive ahead. The garage door rumbled upward—only the most up-to-date technology for friends of the Nixons—and they pulled out into the fading light, the wet afternoon bleeding into a thankfully drier evening.
"How much did you have to drink before deciding on this mad chase?" Tab asked as he leaned over the backseat to watch where he was reversing.
"None."
"None?"
"None," George repeated, and whatever he'd mustered in his tone to guarantee the truth softened something in Tab's tired eyes. His friend sat up a little straighter, and the energy so often sapped from him by hours clerking behind a desk began to return in increments as they drove. At first, they spoke of the usual things; the clearing clouds, an unruly driver here and there, the meaning of life and what changes peace had brought to their world in the past three years.
"Three," George mused after a time, "isn't that a strange number to decide on a reunion? One, I understand for a high school, two for a college, but three doesn't fit anything. A birthday, maybe, but-"
"It's one for me," Tab reminded him with no shortage of gentle reprehension. "I skipped the last two."
"So did she. But she won't be skipping this time, and neither will you."
"... Yeah. About that—what's your plan, here?"
"With what?"
Tab glanced off the road for just an instant to shoot George that disbelieving eyebrow that had always been able to pry any damn thing out of him, all the way back to Toccoa.
"I know, I know, with Leah." George swallowed. "Leah Hedgecomb."
"Yeah, with Leah."
George waved his hand in front of his face as if reading aloud a banner. "Hopefully the future Mrs. Leah Lowry Hedgecomb Luz." He couldn't help a small smile. "Has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?" He snapped, remembering something vital to his mission. "Oh, shit, right, I've gotta get a- Why are you looking at me like that?"
Tab's spine had gone so taut, it almost seemed to be imitating the straightness of the lampposts they were driving beneath on this long, northbound route. The light from each lamp faded into and back out of the car within a half-second. Once the darkness of the night truly settled it, they would seem ever the brighter and the quicker, keeping the men awake and alert but allowing them no more than a passing glance at each other's expressions.
"Does she know that?"
"Know what?"
"That you're gunning for her to be your wife?"
"As of, uh-" George studied his wristwatch. "-an hour and ten minutes ago, yes."
"Jesus Christ."
His daredevil friend gave a low whistle. "Well, now I know this is a crazy plan. What else could make the pious Floyd Talbert take the savior's name in vain?"
"Oh, come on, Luz. Me? Pious?"
George snickered, and Tab sighed.
"Look, I'm sorry, but you gotta admit this is nuts! You're in love with a woman you haven't seen in a year—a woman who's been purposefully avoiding you, I might add."
"She loves me, too."
"What?"
"She told me back in Austria the day she left." George thumbed his belt loops anxiously. "She told me she loved me and I oughta come find her after the war if I felt the same."
"And you did, didn't you?"
"Yeah, but we never spoke of it again." George licked his lips, then confessed, "I have to believe she meant it. It's all I've got, Floyd."
"You need to stop for a minute and think this through."
"And you," his determined compatriot contested, "need to shut up and turn left."
"Why?" Tab asked, nonetheless rounding the requested corner.
"Because we need to make a detour to Cartier before they close at eight-thirty, and right now, it's eight-o'-one."
"Woah, woah, woah." 
Tab pulled over to the side of the otherwise empty street. He shifted the car into park and turned as fully as he could in his seat toward George. 
"Are you serious about this?"
"Floyd," George replied softly, almost timidly, "this is the first time I haven't second-guessed myself in three years. Yes, I'm serious."
His friend considered, glancing out the windshield onto the pavement and gravel of the road and its side.
"Besides, this is partially your fault."
"What?"
"You know I've loved her since Benning."
Tab's brow twitched. "Well, yes..."
"And you put me on the phone with her just like that, like you knew it was the best thing for us both."
"Um..."
"Come on, Floyd," George pleaded, flashing a smile, "help me out just this once-"
Tab visibly stifled a snort of laughter.
"-and you can be the best man—nay, the officiant—at our wedding."
"Sometimes, I think you've finally gone mad." Tab smiled as he shifted the car back into drive. "Alright. Let's go get the ring, and then the girl."
George let out a whoop, tossing his hands up and smacking them on the ceiling. He winced, shaking out his fingers, though his grin never faltered.
"By the way, I meant it, about the wedding."
"I'm not ordained."
"So? I don't particularly care what denomination ya are, so long as you can marry us."
"... I don't know if that's legal, Luz."
"What, freedom of religion?" His friend shot him a skeptical look. "So sayeth the Quaker's best friend."
"What- George, he's not-" 
Tab huffed and went quiet, giving in (and up).
"I'll look it up and figure it out when we get back," he relented. "Dick probably knows something or somebody..."
George smirked, turning his face toward the window to hide the true warmth of his enthusiasm. 
"Yeah. He prob'ly does."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Leah meant to stay up, to wait. She knew she'd feel like the worst idiot in the world should morning come and she was still sitting in her dark living room, alone; nevertheless, she allowed herself hope and trust for the first time in many years. She tried to keep her eyes open, but seeing the toll of midnight after a sixteen-hour shift proved a difficult task, and she drifted off in her old, raggedy armchair with a blanket over her legs and one shoe half-off her foot.
When the rapping on her door startled her awake, it was precisely 12:46 a.m. When she stepped up to the door, it was 12:50. When she gathered up enough courage to actually turn the knob and pull, it was 12:52.
"-so let's just go and come back in the morning, she's clearly not-"
The two men standing under her porch light, their heads and shoulders dusted with snow, froze and stared at her. Talbert's hand dropped from the back of his neck. George looked like he was trying to convince himself she was more than a memory.
"... home."
"George?"
He stumbled forward and she couldn't help but lurch into his embrace.
"What- what are you doing here?!" she gasped, wide awake now that he was really here with her, his arms sending shockwaves up and down her body. "George, you drove all this way?"
"I drove," Tab suggested sheepishly, raising his hand in a sheepish wave, and Leah forced herself to let go of George to hug him.
"I didn't believe- You actually- How? Why?"
"He loves you," Tab chuckled, nodding at George. "Thought that was pretty clear by now. You mind if I come in? I thought it couldn't get any colder than Rhode Island, but sheesh, New York's something else..."
Leah started nodding without really understanding what he'd asked, and he started humming “White Christmas” as he stepped past her and into the semi-heated house. Left alone on the porch, George and Leah stared at each other for a beat. Once they'd remembered the other was truly here, they all but leaped back into each other's arms. Leah's chest felt tight. She heaved each exhalation into his shoulder like it just might be her last. How long ago was it that such a fear could become their reality at the drop of a hairpin, or, in their case, the flick of a grenade pin? Too recent, too fresh.
"Hey, hey, catch your breath," George said, stepping back to cup her cheeks in his hands, scanning her face worriedly. "You cold? You want my scarf? My coat? My sweater? Hell, I'll give you my socks, if you want, though I don't think you do-"
"You came."
"Of course, I came," he cut himself off. "I brought Tab, just like I promised, and a ring to boot."
Leah flushed. "You didn't."
George dropped down on one knee.
"I did."
Leah squeaked. George beamed to hide the terrific pounding of his heart.
"Leah? Sweetheart?"
"Uh-huh?"
"Marry me."
She couldn't seem to speak, but she was nodding so fast George could only take it to mean yes. He put the ring on her finger, and she promptly flung herself into his arms and knocked them both off the porch into the nearest snowbank. George burst into such laughter that it woke the neighbors.
"Screw them," he muttered as the complaining started from an upstairs window. "I'm not afraid of nobody and nothing anymore."
"Oh, yeah?" Leah giggled, still half-certain she was dreaming, shivering a little. "When'd you get so brave?"
George smiled, drawing his thumb tenderly across her cheek to brush away a wispy curl.
"When I got you."
A beat.
"You will marry me, right?"
Leah turned and kissed his cheek, then his lips, and George felt like he could take on the world.
"I love you," she whispered, "and I've waited six years for you to ask me that question, so yes, George Luz, yes, I will marry you."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"You drove how far to get to her?"
Leah and George shared an amused smile. No matter how many times they told this story, there was always someone who'd only heard snippets and couldn't quite believe it until they got the straight facts from the source itself. This time—most entertainingly—it was Speirs, their former captain. The humor of his confusion was only added to by Lipton, who was standing beside him with such an expression of This is the farthest thing from a surprise, Ronald that it made Leah stifle a laugh against her hand.
"As far as I had to," George answered Speirs, squeezing Leah's hip affectionately. "I'd have driven all the way to California if I had to. Up through Canada, down into Mexico, or all the way into South America—I'd go anywhere. I'd even sneak aboard a ship if she was somewhere overseas."
"So... how far?"
"Five hours," Leah chuckled. "Five hours and them some, 'cause he had to stop to get the ring."
"And I was the one behind the wheel," Tab reminded with a twinkle in his eye, and George lit up, delighted that he'd made it to the reunion after all.
"And you still get to officiate, Floyd!"
"Yeah, yeah. Just tell me when I'm needed, and I'll be there."
"Huh." Speirs paused to think, then took a sip from his whiskey glass. "I'll admit, I never pictured..." He waved at George and Leah, though not at all rudely. "This."
George's arm was slung around Leah's waist and her cardigan was tied just above his hips—the only thing more obviously signifying their relationship was the silver band gleaming on Leah's left hand. Leah pressed a kiss to George's cheek, and as Speirs shook his head, astonished, George let loose a delirious peal of laughter.
"Stop that," Leah giggled, ruffling his hair. "You sound like you're already drunk."
"Oh, honey, I am."
She quirked a brow. "Oh, yeah? Since when? You’ve only had one- oop!"
He'd dipped her toward the floor, his lips ghosting over hers, and when she realized she was not, in fact, falling, she smiled.
"Drunk off you, sweetheart," he whispered as their friends started to holler, noticing the couple's open display of affection.
"Then kiss me, Mr. Luz."
"Happily, Mrs. Luz."
"Wait-" She put her finger against his lips, teasing him. "I'm not the missus just yet."
He groaned. "Why must you remind me? Cruel woman..."
A slight shift in his stance let Leah know he was starting to strain himself by holding her there, so she grabbed him by the collar and pressed a searing kiss to his lips, bolstered by their friends' whistling and cheering.
"I don't think I can wait much longer," George admitted as he brought his fiancée back up to stand. "Literally and figuratively. What with you in that dress, and everybody here—heck, why don't we do it tonight?"
"Do it? Get married, you mean?"
"Get married, run away, honeymoon, hook the moon and drag it down to earth," George hummed, swaying her to an imaginary tune. "You name it, I'll make it happen, sweetheart."
Leah looked at him, and her eyes, brimming with tears of gratitude, struck him with so much love he felt faint.
"So? Whaddaya say, my dearest Leah?"
"Yes. Tonight!"
"Huzzah!" George leaned over his shoulder. "Floyd! It would seem your services are needed much sooner than planned!"
Tab looked up from the buffet table, a slice of chocolate cake halfway to his mouth. George and Leah shared a look, then burst into teary laughter, holding on to each other with no intent to ever let go.
"I think they're really gonna do it."
"About time." Dick Winters sidled up to his friend, then nodded at the cake in his hand. "Is that any good?"
Still watching George and Leah, Tab wordlessly passed the cake to Dick, who, in turn, Dick handed it off to a salivating Frank Perconte.
"Dick," Tab queried, "do you know how to officiate an elopement?"
"Not officially-"
"Didn't think so."
"-but I know a guy."
"Of course, you do."
They eyed the happy couple, now dancing to the music Lipton had conjured from the radio, and shared a small smile despite themselves.
"Think you could get him here within the next half-hour?"
Dick checked his watch.
"Uh..."
"Correction: think you could call him up and have him teach me this whole honorary pastor business on the fly?"
Smiling, Dick started for the payphone on the other end of the bar.
"Now that, I can do."

GUYS
WHY DO I KEEP NOT SEEING THINGS UNTIL THE DAY AFTER THEY COME
for those who are unaware:
youtube
I AM GOING TO HAVE A MENTAL BREAKDOWN
more of my screaming under the cut
ok so we’re starting right where we left off and OMIGOSH THE HUG I CANT HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
gus helping w the dishes is so sweet!! and amity omigosh this girl. not to mention camila is just taking it so coolly?? what am i saying, shes probably freaking out inside
I HAVE NEVER HATED A BAND-AID BOX IN MY ENTIRE LIFE AND I WILL NEVER DO SO MORE THAN I DO NOW IM GONNA CRY
is it just me or does it seem like luz is in shock? shes acting like everything’s fine, and not the way she acted in reaching out either, more like shes numb or something 🥺
hunter, bb, why would they hate you cuz youre a clone of caleb? that doesnt make you him. plus i dont actually think that caleb was ever a witch hunter in the first place. also, youre not helping luz. ily <3
why luz gotta blame herself, she couldn’t have ever known something like this would happen. and im not sure how time travel works in the owl house but id be willing to bet that even if she hadnt helped philip, he would have found someone else willing to be monster bait instead of her and lilith
‘we’ll tell them, when we’re ready’ girl that aint ever gonna happen. the way things go when ppl say stuff like that is that the thing gets pushed off until the characters cant help but slam right into it, no countermeasures to soften the blow. i am very worried about how this is gonna affect willow and amity.
AMITY’S LINGERING GAZE ON LUZ MA HEART AAAAAAA
ik there were some people who were worried that the gang wasnt gonna be ok with vee so im glad that they like her :)
well, glad to know that the philip-goo is, in fact, alive. screw that
gus nerding-out with all of the stuff in the basement XD (also camila why is there so much random stuff in your basement? 👀)
HUNTER NO STOP WHY WOULD YOU- UGH I THOUGHT YOU WERE GETTING OVER THIS
hunters little smile at gus :>
amity and willow protecting vee from the alarm clock, i cant- *wheeze*
ALL THE BABY PICTURES OF LUZ ARE SO CUTE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I WISH I COULD SEE THEM BETTER HHH I CANT WAIT A WEEK!!!!
willow looks so cute with her hair down i swear
MONTAGE BABYYYYYYYY
OMIGOSH ITS A MONTAGE INSIDE A MONTAGE
I AM SO SO SO SO SO SO GLAD THEY DROPPED THE ‘luzity’ CRAP AND DID LUMITY
THE PICTURES ARE SO CUTE, IM GONNA- *dies*
‘HI IM BI’ IF I COME OUT, THIS IS HOW IM DOING IT
LUZ AND AMITY’S GRINS AT CAMILA THEY ALL LOOK SO HAPPY AND AMITY IS BLUSHING
gus, i love you so much for that, the rainbow and everything
their drawings of their families are so cuuuuuuuute (and amity not drawing karen HA)
WAIT IS WILLOW WEARING A SHIRT WITH A SHOOTING STAR?????? YALL KNOW DANA DID THAT FOR ALEX YALL KNOW IT
CAMILA’S RAINBOW HEART STICKER
VEE’S LITTLE TRANSITION WAS SO CUTE
HUNTER
MY DUDE
WHY DID YOU EVEN LET YOUR HAIR GET THAT LONG
AND WHY DO YOU HAVE THAT BOOK
(our first real look at caleb???)
OK BUT SERIOUSLY HE LOOKS SO GOOD WITH THAT NEW HAIRCUT I’LL ADMIT I WAS WORRIED BUT THEY PULLED IT OFF!
idk what they were doing but the portal kinda worked for a second, before it, yknow, combusted
what even is that blob, i dont even wanna try to guess whats in it (THEY ALL LOOK SO PROUD OF THEMSELVES, MY BABIES)
amity’s look of wonder at the rain, my beloved <3<3
im so happy they got to have some fun after all the trauma, they really needed it
do i even need to say anything about luz and amity in the rain
luz’s drawing skills have gotten so much better!!! (dat trauma tho. the depression that she cant have everything she wants in one world. in the human realm, she has her mom and vee but in the demon realm, she can do magic and has her best friends (and gf) and eda and king)
looks like her palisman has yet to arrive :(
darnit shes back at school (i wonder how she figured that all out)
thank you for coming to my ted talk, now back to your regularly-scheduled reblogs

So recently...I got a Venus flytrap. And I absolutely love them to bits. I was so happy to FINALLY get rid of the flys, but after searching a bit about them I learned that unfortunately they die off after they close multiple times.
So of course I'm devastated by this. That my pretty baby's are ganna die sooner than I thought.. BUT on the contrary, it has given me a new Willow headcanon.
------
So what if like one day... Luz and co. go to the store or smth. (Mabey a Menards, we're I got mine😉) And Luz points out the garden area of the store, and ofc Willow immediately perks up and drags Amity or one of the them over to it.
And then she just SEES these fricken CUTE LITTLE PLANTS WITH TEETH?! And like they eat bugs TOO!?
Girl freaks.
Full on fan-girl mode.
She would probably buy the littlest one, as I truly believe she would be happier to raise it on her own, and like just giggle. Cooing to it in the cutest way while saying VERY unsettling things. (And no ofc I did not do this too them when I first saw them)
And then Hunter and Gus just peek over her shoulder in confusion.
Of course Camila buys it for her, very happy the girl is smiling brightly again. And on the way home Willow is clutching the traps in her hands, so terrified their ganna break.
Oh and Hunter would definitely be helping reading the directions, and how much water and sunlight it needs, ect.
So daily, and mabey even more than that, she checks up on them. Even going as far to catch bugs herself and feed them with a tweezers.
And then just one morning, when the sun is shining, Flapjacks are singing, a scream is heard.
Now, everyone is fucking terrified. I mean ofc they are. And so when they all notice Willows empty sleeping bag..Hunter's the first out the door.
And all of them including Camila, are just bounding down the stairs, tripping each other in the process, trying to find there beloved Willow.
And they all just kinda stop when they see her knelt down right by the windowsill.
"Willow? Are you okay?"
Hunter's the first to speak, totting up to her worriedly, placing a tentative hand on her shoulder.
And then she just looks up to him in absolute tears, holding her beloved Venus flytraps in her hands..
Oh.
And before the poor boy could speak, she flung her self at him developing him into probably a bone crushing hug.
Hunter let out a choked gasp, stiffing at the contract. But just as he was about to ease into her soft touch, she pulled away immediately. Sniffling, she wiped her nose on her arm sleeve.
"Im- I'm sorry Hunter, I didn't mean to I just got a little upset about-"
Her panicked gaze drifting to his eye before looking down in the floor in shame. But just as she, herself was about to respond with more apologies, she felt arms wrap around her.
"It's okay...it's not your fault." He would mutter, placing his head onto of hers.
Tears started to well up in her green orbs once more, before returning the hug, griping his sweatshirt. Small sobs escaped the witch, in wich hunter responded by running a soothing hand along her back, not caring how soaked his favorite sweatshirt would be after this.
-----
Look I'm not much of a writer but I love making headcanons.
And im sure everyone is confused as to why our strong and brave Willow is so upset about her plants?
Well it's simple really.
On her 14th birthday her father's got her a Venus Fly trap. Now take I to consideration on how a BOILING ISLES VENUS FLYTRAPS LOOK LIKE. NGL BUT THEY GOTTA LOOK LIKE THIS.
Tumblr media
Anyways..I'm guessing she always wanted one when she was little, thinking that it's a great solution for her bug investigation. ( Oh god Clover-🐝)
But ofc, being in the abomination track her father's declined. So like when she finally got it she was probably so happy!! And the memories of her father's doing this for her?? Like come on.
So ofc she would be so happy to see a Little version of her baby's. But the guilt in seeing them die- like that's probably ganna hit her hard, and to think she can't even keep these alive how on earth will hers live, even after how much her father's paid for one!
So she's afraid. She's scared. She scared for her plants. She's scared for her FATHER'S.
So yeah, she broke because some stupid plants died..the same thing that reminds her of her father's back home.

the owl house season 3 ep 1:thanks to them.
here we are.
i have gone insane, my sensibility,my rational,my sense are all completely gone.
i am not normal anymore and i just dont care.
let me sum up my reaction to this episode in one word:WOAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHFIFHHEIEFIHEHIEHEFUOOEFUEFOIEEFIUHF#&(#&#*(#$U#(U*#(U*U#*(JF(JF(F#HGH(#GGOJ#GJOGOJHUROIGJROFOJIRHOROHRHORRHOHRORRRRRRRRRRROHODJHHKFSHFSUSFHODOSHSHKSHHSKSFHSFHIFUISAAAAAAA.

SIBILINGS SIBILINGS SIBINLINGS YEEEEE.
Tumblr media
YEYYWYEYEYEYEYEYUEYYEUEYEYEYEYEYEYYEYYWYYEYSYEYSYSYEYSYEYSYSY YEYY FHEHEROGHIEHOEGOHEGHOEGUOEOH UOI AM FEEELING UNSTOPPAPLE JOY I LOVE THIS WITH ALL MY SOUL.
alight now that im done freaking out at the intro, lets get into the real meat and potatoes.
alright so the kids have been staying in the human world for a few months and we can get a few things down.
-hunter and luz are insecure about their respective secrets, hunter about his grimwalker self and luz about the helping of wittebane.
-they have tried a whole bunch of times to create a portal which leads to luz feeling more mentally weighed down as a result
-HUNTER LOVES WOLVES AND SEWING HE IS PRECIOUS!
-wow camila’s backstory is sincerely awesome and i think they manged to characterize her very well as a loving and supportive mother who is weighed down by societal expectation’s to the point of forgetting that her daughter and her personality is not something shameful or harmful, it simply seen as unusual and therefore bad which is something that has clearly had a good grasp on her mentally to the point she would send luz to the boring camp.
-i fucking adore masha.thats it i just love them and want them to end up with vee.
-camila being a secret nerd is so goddamn fun and cute, seeing her freak out about it is really good.
-of fucking course a bisexual has hades downloaded luz knows where its fucking at.
-im so sorry dana terrace i am truly sorry i did not think you could do it.....i didn’t think you could possible make season 3 good with the little time are resources you had i just couldn’t believe it could be done.....but no, its very clear dana terrace is aiming to create a cartoon which will be cherished and remembered through history.
-like fr so much of the worldbuilding and storytelling in this episode was actually very cohesive and sensible, usually you would need an ass grab to make sense of the story with the amount of screentime cut to it but i really feel satisfied with the way they introduced wittebane brothers lore through halloween story, and how luz’s powers were coming back as she got closer to titan blood, the rebus felt a little iffy but hey it wasn’t too immersion breaking.
Tumblr media
-that is too goddamn cool but im so scared cause fandoms will see a white boy with blue eyes and create the most unhinged and sickeningly horny shit ever im so scared what tumblr and ao3 and wattpad are gonna do with this.
Tumblr media
-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH FLAPJACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKkkk
Tumblr media
-damn camila buff for lifting a boy made of wood while wearing clothes she is BUFF
Tumblr media
-hey dana terrace WHAT THE FUCK is your problem with hunter? please? please im fucking begging you on my hands and knees just please stop torturing him please just please.please
Tumblr media
-after everyone collects their resolve they go through the portal prepared to combat belos and whatever awaits them.
and thats the most noteable events in the first episode of season three, i found this episode to be VERY satisfactory and i enjoyed it immensely while making noises that sounded like a zombie and a dog started boxing while weird al played in the background,i loved it and i have high hopes for the next episode.
here are my theories and expectations
-i imagine the second episode will be used to set up the finale and explain what has been happening while the gang was away in the human world,there is very litle screen time so i imagine it will be used very stratigically so there will most likely be far less comedy and a lot more balls to the walls action and exposition.
-i dont want anyone to die please please dont kill anyone please i dont i dont
-with the ability of belos to possess things im actually starting to think “is he gonna possess the collector or like the titan’s corpse?” him getting his ass kicked by enzo gaberial (the collector) has really minimizied his threat level but i feel like he can get back to being the main baddy and if he does control the titan or the collector then it would be the coolest fucking thing ever animated easily.
- when they come back vee and masha will be inexplicably holding hands and very close, im just sure it will happen and im waiting with baited breath.
alright thats about it, i loved this, i love the owl house and will watch all the projects that dana terrace ever makes as she has shown herself to be an incredible one of a kind creator.
have a great day and wish you the best.

What's your favorite relationship in the au? Or if that's too broad, top five relationships?
he he im taking top five lol. these are. somewhat in An Order but also not really dont think about it.
Luz and Mari: like, come on. i have to do luz and her daemon!! when i first sat down to start writing this fic and figured out what exactly was going to be the driving relationship at the core of the fic...it was the two of them. the owl house itself is so much about luz and coming to terms with who she is and how she GOOD and amazing even if what she wants and does isnt like, society-typical, and being able to externalize that between these two has been so so so fun.
King and The Collector: i wasnt supposed to love them so much help. but...man, i have fallen in LOVE with the relationship between these two, and how absolutely messy and complicated it is. they care about each other so much. the collector doesnt know how to show that. king doesnt know how he can after everything the collector has done. they are both so good and important to me
Luz and Hunter: okay. look. of course they were going to end up on here. what is there even to say about them? they go through so much together and come out the other side and dont really know who they are anymore, just that if they didnt have the other, they would, 100%, be dead. and thats...certainly a thing to hold.
The Collector and Firefly: firefly sees a sad child and says is anybody going to adopt that. and doesnt even wait for an answer. but being serious its so much fun to write firefly and the collector and their attempts to understand each other--firefly understands the collector in a way king cant because shes gone through something similar, and she very much sees a kindred spirit in the collector even if they dont know what that is yet.
Luz and Eda: thats her mom...thats her daughter...writing all the fumbles as eda attempts to be a good parent for luz and has to stumble through learning about humans, and luzmari trying to be a good daughter when theyre scared it means replacing camila, even though family doesnt work like that...oh its so GOOD its so FUN i LOVE THEM.
and of course, some of the many honorable mentions:
luz and amity! (teaching each other to be happy and live and be themselves and luz is only able to be herself bc of amity and amity is only able to be herself bc of luz and they were each the thing that allowed the other to finally stop repressing Their Respective Issues....girlfriends of all time....)
willow and gus and amity! (the layers to their friendships is everything okay. the messy broken friendship of willow and amity. gus befriending amity with none of that baggage and willow feeling hurt still but not wanting to ruin gus's friendships and amity not knowing how to make things better so she just pretends it never happened ITS SO FUN WHEN I FOCUS ON THEM--)
eda and firefly! (learning to co-parent with your owl curse is actually the funniest thing in the world)
amity, edric, and emira! (they are in no way a huge focus but i LOVE amity being a bitey baby sibling okay. no holds barred she WILL beat her siblings at literally anything. she will go for the kill w no prompting and its DELIGHTFUL)
firefly and raine! (firefly is SO salty that raine broke up with eda okay. shes so so offended on eda's behalf. but its okay they work it out and now raine has. two girlfriends? and one is an owl. this is fine)
katya, amber, and derwin! (the bats are so so silly and so so stupid and giving them a pov was the best choice i ever made actually)

My thoughts on Watching and Dreaming
I watched the episode when it premeired last night but i hit post limit so couldnt post about it. Spoilers under the cut. sorry if anything is out of order lol im sick and im just throwing everything i thought last night down on this post.
-Luz being attacked by Amity genuinely made me cry
-"My girlfriend is too big a nerd to misremember an Azura quote" -luz probably
-Lilith having the haircut from For the Future but color scheme from season 1 is a nice touch
-"Dont you recognize your siblings" Ok damn man didnt need to go THAT far
-The giant stone Flapjack in Luz's nightmare killed me and not in the good funny way but in the sad crying way
-in the words of @minty-creator "BELOS FUCKETH OFF" (We were both watching the ep and screaming to each other about it)
-at first I thought belos was gonna try and possess king but then I realized no he's going to possess the fucking boiling isles titan
-I actually kinda liked that The Collector had no concept of death. They're a kid, an IMMORTAL GODLY KID. Of course they wouldnt know what death is
-Pacman Collector will haunt my nightmares
-The Collector needs a hug. I want to give them a hug.
-"You know this cant last forever" that was said to the collector but it feels like it was also aimed towards us
-The Archivists 🤝Pink Diamond "Wanna play a game?" *leaves them lonely*
-ok no but seriously the archivists telling Collector to play with the titans only to wipe them out leaving Collector all alone is just fucking cruel
-The Collector is just a lonely kid LET ME HUG THEM
-Me seeing Raine fight back: YES YOU GO
-Goo Belos in this episode looks like William Afton. Like- Remember that fucking fnaf 3 image where the springtrap head was open showing William? Thats what Belos looks like. Or burntrap from SB take your pick.
-Raine my beloved
-The Belos possessed Titan looks like a fucking dragon holy shit
-"Now that's a spinoff I'd watch" You and me both Luz
-The Collector picking up Raine's earring and realizing that the Raine talking to them wasnt actually Raine, and then looking upset is just AAAAAAAA LET ME FUCKING HUG THEM
-I LOVE that when the collector uses "Kindness and Forgiveness" on Belos IT DOESNT WORK. I FUCKING H A T E THAT TROPE OF POWER OF FRIENDSHIP REDEMPTION. It was one of the few things I genuinely hated about Steven Universe (SU is still a good show tho they just kinda overused villain redemption. And yeah yeah you could argue MLP overuses that too but MLP was ABOUT friendship)
-Luz, Eda, and King's expressions when The Collector hugs Belos is so funny tho. Literally just 👁👄👁
-I literally screamed at Luz's sacrifice. S C R E A M E D.
-Gaster Blaster Belos Real
-"Eda, King, looks like we're going to be split up again. I feel like I should be used to this feeling by now, but I still dont know what to say" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
-I like that Luz becomes lights. Not only was the light glyph the first one she learned but her name literally means light.
-Eda, King, and Luz are such a found family I love them
-"I should have thanked them" SCREAMING AND CRYING
-I love that King's dad basically said "Fuck gender"
-I also love that he has a bad girls coven shirt
-Eda makes alchoholic apple blood confirmed?
-Titan Luz is so gender
-Camila best mom
-LET. ME. HUG. THE. COLLECTOR. DAMN IT.
-Luz and King doing the WEH together is so fucking cute.
-For some reason I thought Luz was gonna die again when the titan magic was fading. Like I thought that was keeping her alive.
-Anyone gonna talk about the fact Eda gave Raine a little kiss when saving them from the Belos goop
-the entire episode was so anime but the fight scene between Titan Luz and Belos was just anime as fuck and the smooth animation makes it even better
-"NOW EAT THIS SUCKA" IT ALL COMES FULL CIRCLE
-Look at how fuckin anime this is I love it so much
Tumblr media
-Luz looks so badass btw idk if I mentioned that
-Belos trying to bullshit his way out of this and Luz having NONE OF IT is so great. I hat the "[insert curse/supernatural thing] made me do it so im innocent" trope if it's done poorly or with a character like Belos. Love that they smashed that into the ground with Luz having fucking none of it.
-LOOK AT HOW BADASS AND GENDER SHE LOOKS I WILL NOT SHUT UP ABOUT THIS I AM SO NOT NORMAL ABOUT THIS
Tumblr media
-I AM SO GLAD BELOS HAD A GRUESOME DEATH THAT WAS SO SATISFYING.
-I like the touch that Titan Luz isnt affected by the boiling rain
-King's dad is A PUN MASTER
-the reuniting. oh my titan the reuniting. I cried. Gus doing a little illusion with his dad, Amity hugging Alador (with Odalia rightfully in the sidelines), Hunter telling Darius about wolves, Willow and her dads!
-Darius and Eber so want to beat the shit out of Terra, Vitmir, and Adrien.
-Camila pulling Eda and King into a hug with Luz is just. YES.
-Yassified Hooty go brrr
-King giving The Collector Francois was so sweet
-All the kids as adults are so fucking gender. GIVE ME YOUR GENDER.
-All the photos on Luz's bulletin board are so amazing. Especially the one with Hooty dropping from a tree that one made me laugh so hard. Also the Bi Pride pin next to the graduation photo was amazing.
-"Stringbean's Corner" AWWWE
Tumblr media
-ik im doing two screenshots in a row but LOOK AT THIS PICTURE OF STRINGBEAN
Tumblr media
-When I tell you I screamed with joy when I saw there was a working permanent portal to the Boiling Isles I mean I SCREAMED WITH JOY
-I love Willow's leaf headband. It just fits her so well.
-I love that Hunter is a palismen carver and carved a Blue Jay to be his new palismen (according to Dana on twt the name of the palismen is Waffle. I love it.), but I also love that Hunter was (or maybe still is) Dell's apprentice by the looks of things
-The grave for Flapjack made me sob. And then the "Thank you for finding me" on it im just. I need a moment.
-HARPY LILITH HARPY LILITH
-Also I just realized now they all have matching Flapjack tattoos. Im gonna cry you guys.
-The way Darius just slides over after shaking Alador is the most tsundere anime thing ever.
-Theres a little abomination in Alador's pocket :0
-Raine with white hair is actually so fucking cool
-Gus looks so cool you cannot tell me otherwise.
-Everyone thought Eda would have like a robotic/abomination arm but no SHE HAS A HOOK AND IT'S AWESOME
-King had a growth spurt lets go!
-The quinceanera being called a king-cenera is just perfect. King is mastering the art of puns just like his father.
-King having his own glyph shapes is just perfect I love it!
-Collector making fireworks shooting stars is amazing
-THEY DID THE HUNTER "BYEEE" TO BOTH THE COLLECTOR AND US
Im going to miss toh. It was one of the best shows Ive ever watched.
Edit: I hat the new post editor istg
