Oh god now that toh ends with luz being able to travel between worlds ppl are using that to dunk on amphibia. And now that belos died ppl are using that to dunk on su.
They are different shows people! They have different themes! Amphibia is a classic take on isekai as escapism! Marcy went to amphibia to avoid her real life and while she had fun she didnt mature until after she accepted she needed to embrace change in her life! Anne matured in amphibia bc she always recognized that she has her own life to get back to! Sasha matured after realizing that too! Leaving amphibia for good means to embrace the step out of childhood! Something thats inevitable for everyone!
The owl house is about finding a community in midst of ostracization! Luz stayed in the boiling isles because she found people who accepted her quirks! The boiling isles was in danger from a bigot and luz helps her new community defeat him! Its a very queer story! Community is the center of the story so it makes sense for luz to be able to go back to the boiling isles since shes maintaining her place in the community!
Steven universe is about choosing to be kind! Its that everyone has their own specific traumas that they can overcome with the right support! Its about surviving in a world of bigots at any cost, even if it you have to work with the bigots to carve out a space for the people you love! Because people like you exist and theres nothing anyone in power can do about it! Its also a very queer story! The diamonds can never stamp out the off colors because they will always be there! Steven works with the diamonds not because he likes them but because they can improve the world for his family if only he could get through to them! Hes rewarded for choosing to be kind with success because the theme of the show is hope! Hope that anyone can change! But even though the diamonds stop being fascist steven still doesnt like them because its not about forgiveness! Its about fixing things! Stevens just polite about it!
The owl house starts off with the assumption that everyone can change but its not about the potential its about the willingness to change! The focus is on belos, whos had every chance to turn his life around but will never admit that hes wrong! And the show posits that if someone isnt willing to change theyre not worth helping! Its not about whether or not the character is fascist its about if theyre willing to stop being fascist! Several characters stop being fascist and are welcomed by the characters with open arms belos just wasnt one of them! Several characters clean up their acts but dont adequately address the previous harm they did and are STILL fully forgiven eventually! For toh forgiveness is paired with fixing things you just need to give it time!
And theres an argument that some of these shows didnt do their themes well. If you wanted to portray amphibia as an escapism world that the girls need to leave behind to get to their richer futures then having them get such caring found families go against that by giving them a potential of a good life in the isekai world. Steven universe uses the diamonds as metaphors for mental illness and relationships but its hard to stick with that when you also need to consider the countless other gems they hurt. I think its also fair if people prefer one theme over another.
But a lot of stuff i see comparing these shows just go over surface similarities? Like oh shit! These two shows have the same character archetypes! They have the same inciting incident! This must mean that theyre exactly the same in everything but names and artstyle and are trying to say the exact same things! Like. No. Sometimes,,,,,two stories,,,,,,can talk about two different things,,,,,,,
#shut up pandora#the owl house#toh#amphibia#steven universe#su#emperor belos#phillip wittebane#should i tag the other characters mentioned?#not the diamonds actually#marcy wu#sasha waybright#anne boonchuy

The Walking Dead: What Ifs
(Updated when I feel like it, I’m rewatching for background noise. I don’t know if some of these have been thought of before, I’m just writing them as I think of them while I watch. If you want to use them for fics, art, or edits feel free to. Some of these are goofy/silly and others are more contemplative.)
Full Show:
What if the theme song didn’t hit so hard?
What if they used more silencers or had proper ear protection for use of firearms?
What if the captions used a less disturbing word for the sound of a knife piercing flesh instead of ‘squelches’?
Season 1:
What if Shane was shot instead of Rick?
What if Rick died from his wound?
What if the group members didn’t evacuate Atlanta as ordered?
What if Carol and Lori never met on the highway?
What if Morgan and Rick never split up?
What if Shane never slept with Lori?
What if Glenn didn’t bring anyone with him on the Atlanta run like he usually did?
What if they didn’t leave Merle on the roof?
What if Daryl went on the run instead of Merle?
Season 2:
What if the cars weren’t blocking the highway?
What if Carl was chased by the Walker instead of Sophia?
What if Carl was never shot?
What if Rick never left Sophia?
What if they let Carl have a weapon like he wanted?
What if they armed the children from the start?
What if the farm didn’t fall?
What if Andrea wasn’t left behind?
Season 3:
What if they stayed on the road?
What if they found Woodbury instead of the prison?
What if Herschel was never bit?
What if the group trusted Axel and Oscar early on?
What if Andrea and Michonne left Woodbury?
What if Andrea killed the Governor?
What if Lori survived?
What if Judith didn’t survive to term?
What if Merle never captured Glenn and Maggie?
What if they didn’t let Michonne in?
What if Daryl and Merle were never reunited?
What if Tyrese’s group stayed at the prison?
What if Morgan came back to the prison with Rick?
What if Milton got more chances to experiment with the Walkers?
Season 4:
What if Zach survived the run?
What if the sickness never happened?
What if Lizzie didn’t feed the Walkers?
What if Carol never killed the infected?
What if Herschel and Michonne weren’t taken hostage?
What if the Governor took someone else hostage?
What if the Governor wasn’t able to convince his camp about the prison?
What if Rick left the prison peacefully?
What if the Governor agreed to live in the prison in peace?
What if the Governor took the prison?
What if the groupings leaving the prison were different; different people paired together, larger or smaller size, etc.?
What if Tara didn’t listen to or go with Glenn?
What if Lizzie learned to understand the Walkers?
What if Mica was able to defend herself?
What if there were no Terminus signs?
What if Beth was never taken?
What if Eugene told the truth sooner?
What if Abraham didn’t loose so many of the group he had to transport Eugene?
What if Eugene didn’t kill the truck?
Season 5:
What if Carol didn’t take down Terminus?
What if Rick did what he wanted and went back to fully end Terminus?
What if Terminus was never taken over by the bad group that attacked Gareth and the other inhabitants?
What if Gareth took Terminus back and didn’t turn to cannibalism?
What if Morgan never came back?
What if no one listened to Carl and the group didn’t go help and meet Gabriel?
What if Gabriel stopped wearing the religious attire once the world ended?
What if Gabriel had adapted to the world; carried a weapon, knew how to handle Walkers, etc. when he met Rick?
What if Rick found shaving supplies?
What if Gabriel didn’t take them back to his church?
What if everyone listened to Abraham and got back on the road right away?
What if Daryl didn’t drop that one water jug by the car with Carol?
What if Gabriel let his congregation in the church?
What if the group didn’t agree to go with Abraham to get Eugene to Washington?
What if the hospital car didn’t drive past Daryl and Carol?
What if Maggie didn’t accept Tara after learning that she was with the Governor during the prison attack?
What if Bob didn’t get bit at the food bank?
What if Gareth didn’t kidnap Bob and eat his leg?
What if the group never found out about Gabriel not saving his congregation?
What if Gabriel’s congregation survived?

What if Rick killed Gareth and his people with mercy rather than brutality?
What if Michonne never got her sword back?
What if Beth and Noah never tried to escape the hospital?
What if Noah and Beth both got away on the first try?
What if Noah was taken back to the hospital with Beth?
What if Eugene never told Tara that he sabotaged the bus?
What if the fire engine didn’t stall on the road?
What if there wasn’t a herd blocking the road for Abraham’s group?
What if Eugene didn’t tell the truth when everyone started fighting?
What if Abraham hadn’t attacked Eugene after the truth came out?

What if Abraham pulled the trigger before Eugene called for help?
What if the cops got away from the group and back to the hospital?
What if Lamson got away from Rick?

Weeby’s Random Thoughts #8 (The Barbie Series)
It’s Weeby back on her Barbie nonsense! Here’s another two movies that I thought fit well! Enjoy! @imsparky2002 @artzychic27
The Island Princess:
In a time long past, a young princess, Mylene (Ro) is shipwrecked on a remote island during a terrible storm. She’s found by Nino (Sagi), a red panda, Jean (Azul), the “Prince of Peacocks”, and Jesse (Tika), a young elephant, who take care of her. Mylene remembers nothing of her past but her own name, and grows up peacefully on the island for years, learning to speak to animals. But one day, a young prince, Ivan (Antonio), happens to land his ship on the island, and meets Mylene after she saves him and his good friend, Max (Frazier), the royal scientist, from crocodiles. He invites her back to the mainland with him to help her find her family, and Mylene agrees, taking her animal family with her. They meet Ivan’s parents and his little sister, Princess Sasha, who quickly bonds with the animals. But they also meet Princess Genevieve, or “Evie” (Luciana), the girl Ivan’s parents have arranged for him to marry, and her grandmother, Queen Lorena**. (Ariana) Lorena wants revenge on Ivan’s parents for a long-forgotten ‘slight’, and has a plot involving a poisonous herb. But Evie is very kind and recognizes that Ivan and Mylene have fallen in love, wishing to find that for herself. But Mylene has great trouble fitting in and often ends up embarrassing herself. After the engagement ball, where Mylene stuns everyone in a gorgeous dress her animal family and Sabrina (Tallulah), the queen’s pet monkey, helped her make, Queen Lorena realizes that Mylene is a threat to her plans, and plots to frame her own poisoning of the kingdom’s wildlife as a sickness that Mylene and her “wild animals” caused. This plan seems to succeed when all animals in the kingdom suddenly fall ill, but with the help of her friends and the prince she’s fallen in love with, the lost princess may be able to save the day!
Rapunzel:
In another kingdom, in a distant time, a young man with long, beautiful red hair named Nathaniel (Rapunzel) lives in an isolated manor deep in the forest, hidden behind a magic wall. He works as a servant for the master of the manor, Cash (Gothel), who raised him since he was supposedly abandoned as a baby. While a prisoner, Nathaniel has the comfort of his painting and his two best friends, the young dragon, Alix (Penelope), and Petra (Hobie), an anxious rabbit. One day, Nathaniel discovers a paintbrush engraved with a message from his parents, which confuses him, shortly after, finding a tunnel to a nearby village in the kingdom of Queens Penny and Alyssa Anciel (King Frederick). It’s here that he meets Prince Marc (Prince Stefan), after saving his younger brother, Kiran (Katrina) from a pit trap set by the Queen of a neighboring kingdom, Aya (Wilhelm). Marc explains the feud to Nathaniel, who must then rush back to the manor, but he’s too late. He was spotted in the village by Cash’s pet ferret, Phillipe (Otto). Cash turns Nathaniel’s room into a tower, keeping him confined, but the boy discovers the paintbrush from his parents is magic, and he can travel through the images he paints. He escapes once again, meeting Marc, who invites him to the royal ball. But Cash prevents him from going by cutting his long hair and disguising himself as Nathaniel. But with the help of Alix and Petra, Nathaniel is able to escape the now-enchanted tower in order to save the prince he’s fallen for…and his long lost mother…
**Bit of Theater Kid lore, Evie’s controlling and elitist grandmother, who never approved of her daughter ‘marrying down’, and always has to micromanage the family.
Keep an eye out for more of this series and for Sparky’s first review! Leave your thoughts in the comments and reblogs!

Ch1 masterlist
Joel. Huh. Something about him just gave off protector vibes, but he also seemed like a hardass. You were fairly certain it had something to do with things he’d seen and done and that he wasn’t always like this, but then again that was the story for everybody. You gave them your name, officially, and shook their hands. Joel’s were big, warm, and calloused. Tommy’s were also large, warm, and calloused but in a different way, like they were worn from different actions.
“Here’s the thing,” Tommy said, “we’re all a group here but there’s definitely groups within the group. Ryan, Luke, and Blake are buds, Sasha, Phillip, and Victoria are together, and then Joel and I. We were thinkin’ you might wanna ally with us, you saw how Ryan is and the rest of the guys are pretty similar and Sash, Vick, and Phil are all fucking each other so I’m not sure what you’re into, but you might be best off with us.”
“Hmm, I’ll discuss it with my dad. But what makes you think we need your help? Why are you even offering?” you ask. You don’t wanna be seen as a charity case. You’ve been doing quite alright so far. Clearly much better than these guys have.
“Because your dad’s getting older and if you’re not careful Ryan will try to take advantage of you. We’ve seen what he can do with no remorse. Some of the things that he’s made us or tried to make us do… It’s not all like he made it out to be, but you’ve already agreed to join, so if you don’t come now he’ll kill you, and if you hadn’t agreed to join he’d have killed you,” Tommy said while Joel still stood, brooding slightly, behind him. You looked from Tommy to Joel, you weren’t dumb, your dad was in his fifties now, and the extra wear and tear on his body these past few years had already started to take its toll. You knew you needed someone who could protect you and watch your back as well as your fathers. You could hold your own, but 4 sets of eyes was always better than 2. And you knew deep down you could find that in Joel. Tommy too. Out of the 8 people, these two seemed the most genuine. You may have just met them, but you are very good at reading people.
“Okay. I still need to talk to my dad, but okay,” you said. They seemed satisfied with that answer and you expected them to leave, but they grabbed the dishes, took them to the basin of water you had in the kitchen, pulled out some chairs from the table, and began washing them, solidifying in your mind that, yeah, they were good people.
The next day was hard as you prepared to leave the only home you’d ever known. You packed your bag with the obvious things you’d need and then you grabbed some sentimental necessities. Your mother’s necklace (a gold chain with a locket that had dried white wildflowers in the center and a picture of your family inside), her wedding ring, and the Barbie pink bracelet you made out of the fabric from Hazel’s dress. Her room was a wreck after, but the dress had been untouched in the garment bag.
The rest of the group packed up some extra bags with your canned goods and also added some to their packs, as did you and your father. He also went and let out the animals so that they could roam free and let some of the people know you were leaving and gave them some supplies that you guys couldn’t carry. By the middle of the day, you were set to leave.
You went out to visit their graves one last time to say goodbye. You both decided to say goodbye separately so that the group couldn’t sneak off with the truck without you, but also just so that you both could have some privacy. Your father went first and was only there for about 5 minutes, but it felt like ages just sitting around with the strangers you were about to travel the country with. You trudged your way over to the wildflower field where they laid, and you did as you always had done. Remove the few wilting flowers, since you only put them there yesterday, but this time you didn’t replace them with new ones. You wouldn’t be here to replace them anymore. No one would, and you didn’t want them stuck with dead flowers for eternity.
“Hey guys,” you said sheepishly. It didn’t matter that it had been 6 years since they died, talking to a rock never got easier. “I know Dad probably already told you, but we’re leaving town finally.” Your eyes started to well up a bit and you didn’t know why. “I know you loved this house, mom, and you never wanted us to leave it, but we can’t stay here anymore by ourselves, it’s just too risky and Dad and I are too weak on our own. So we’re joining a group of travelers. Specifically these two brothers.” Your Dad had agreed earlier in the day, which surprised you. It didn’t even take any attempts to convince him. You wondered if he knew something you didn’t. You turned towards the other of the identical stones. “Hazel Elizabeth,” you swallowed thickly, “I hope you’re winning pageants up there and enjoying life… unlike me,” you added.
Before you could cry anymore, you and your fistfull of wilted wildflowers went back to the front of your house where everyone was waiting in the driveway. You chucked the flowers onto the front porch with a huff. The wilted petals on the porch made the house a visual representation of rejection. You turned and wordlessly climbed into the passenger’s seat of your dad’s pickup and the rest of the group followed. Ryan naturally climbed in the backseat but to your surprise the other seat became occupied by Joel. He and Tommy must have wanted to make sure one of them was listening to both halves of the group’s conversations. But regardless, you were headed off to Boston and leaving Hazel behind. The place, and the person.
—
Life in the group wasn’t bad… at first. Ryan did try to make a few moves on you, but thanks to Tommy and Joel he never made it far. Never far enough to scar you, at least. You were also right to join the Tommy and Joel side of the group. They weren’t kidding when they said the boys were narcissistic, selfish, assholes and the other three genuinely were fucking each other… frequently. Joel didn’t talk much, if at all, but when he did talk it was mostly to you or Tommy, nowadays mostly you. Tommy had started to get distant lately too, the things you all had done starting to get to him. You assumed life out here would be rough, but this was a new level. Infected, FEDRA, and people were worse than you’d imagined. You’d met your first set of clickers not too long ago. You lost Blake. No one talked about it. Ryan killed him before he turned. Ryan had some kind of obsession with killing—in another world he would probably be a serial killer. His obsession forced you all to do what you were told or he would kill you, like Tommy said, and he’d like it. Doing what Ryan told you involved killing a lot of innocent people for their supplies. You only argued with him about trying to negotiate once before he showed you what happens when you question him. That demonstration was now turning into a scar across your thigh. Joel was pissed and so was your dad, but they knew better than to do anything
You’d lost the truck a couple months back, something happening to it during an attack from other raiders. Joel and Tommy tried their best to fix it, but unfortunately it just wasn’t something they could patch up. So you’d been walking since then. The toll that took on your father was heavier than you’d feared, but he was hanging in there, either for his sake or yours.
“Hey! Welcome to Pennsylvania!” Luke announced.
“Well we’re at least in the state of one of the QZs we’re headed to,” Sash said. The decision had been made a while back that the likelihood of all 9 of you making it into the Boston QZ was unlikely, so closer to the Philadelphia QZ - Ryan, Luke, Vicki, Phillip, and Sash would head there - Joel, Tommy, you, and your dad would keep going on to Boston.
“This state is also hopefully flatter than the last few, I refuse to climb a mountain ever again,” Luke said breathlessly. He was certainly the group’s clown.
“I see a gas station up ahead, we can stop there for the night, see if there’s anything,” Ryan said. He and Luke went in and cleared the building first. Naturally, there wasn’t much left but some jerky. You ate a bit of that and packed some more for later before laying out your sleeping bag between your father and Joel. Phillip offered to take the first watch and after the sun went down you were all tired so there wasn’t much small talk before you all slowly drifted to sleep.
—
You heard it at the same time as Joel. Your eyes snapped open and you made eye contact with him in the moonlight. You couldn’t have been asleep for long, an hour maybe less with the way Joel still looked very much awake. He was never one to sleep well, you’d noticed, but he always at least acted like he was trying. He looked past your head behind you and slowly brought his finger to his lips. A clicker. Where the hell was Phillip? Didn’t Ryan and Luke clear the building? Joel slowly grabbed his gun, squinted one eye and killed it in one shot which startled everyone else awake.
“What the fuck?” Phillip shouted gun clattering to the ground in surprise from where he’d been slumped against the cash register’s counter, asleep. His and everyone else’s dismay, however, turned out to be the least of your worries when you heard more of them barreling up from a basement you didn’t know this place had. At least three, maybe four. While you all started shooting in the dark corner where there were no windows to see Tommy asked what everyone had to have been thinking.
“I THOUGHT YOU CLEARED IT?”
“WE DID! THERE WAS A SHELF OVER THERE THAT WE MOVED AND FOUND A TRAP DOOR BUT NOTHING WAS UNDER THERE I SWEAR. THEY MUST HAVE BEEN HIDING UNDER THERE,” Luke yelled. Dumbasses. You heard Vicki scream as one had managed to lurch toward her and your father moved over to help her. After a short minute or two, thanks to 9 guns and Joel’s ridiculously good aim, you finally managed to get everything under control. You all packed up quickly and went outside just as the sun was rising.
“What the hell were you thinking?” Joel asked sternly.
“How were we supposed to know what was under there after we cleared it?” Luke said defensively.
“Why didn’t you recover it with the shelf?” Vicki asked while being held by Sash, she looked quite shaken, the clicker had gotten super close to her, she’s really lucky she didn’t get bit.
“Cause we cleared it! Didn’t you Ryan?” Luke desperately asked? Ah, Ryan was the one who “cleared” the crawlspace. You looked at Tommy and Joel who both looked at you and then each other as understanding crossed everyone’s faces. Ryan was more of a, take a look and call it a day kind of checker— not a thorough kind of guy.
“Hang on you can’t blame this all on us, fucking Phillip fell asleep on watch!” Ryan argued in a sad attempt to continue trying to save his reliability.
“What did you expect me to do? We’d been walking for miles all day, I was exhausted!” Phillip said.
“Well still, that ain’t how keepin’ watch works,” Tommy piped in putting his two cents in the growing argument money pile.
“GUYS! Guys, we got different things we need to be worried about right now. What’s done is done,” your dad said. You recognized that tone. It was the same tone he used 6 years ago when he told you to go to your room.
“Dad?” you said slowly, taking a step toward him, and he took a step back, “Dad, what the hell are you talking about?” He lifted his arm out and showed you all the bite there. It didn’t look deep, the damn clicker barely had enough of his arm to let all of its teeth break the flesh, but enough of them had. It’d only been maybe 15 minutes since he’d been bit and the bite already looked worse.
“I’m sorry, sweetheart,” your dad said softly. Tears threatened to fall from your eyes as you looked at him, the bite, and then him again. No, this wasn’t happening.
“Shit Mike,” Tommy said.
“Wha- what are we gonna do?” you stuttered. What are you gonna do? You couldn’t let him turn into one of those monsters, not like your family did, but you couldn’t kill your own father. And yet at the same time you didn’t want someone else to kill him either.
“Kill him,” Ryan said, “I don’t think he wants to turn into an infected, do you Mike?”
“He’s right sweetheart, you have to let him kill me, it’ll be easier, you’ll know I didn’t suffer.” You didn’t try to keep the tears at bay now. Your breaths hitched and you were finding it harder and harder to breathe but you shook your head.
“No, no, I’ll do it,” you said shakily, “I’ll… prevent you from turning.”
“Sweetheart, I can’t ask you to do that,” your dad argued and was immediately followed by protests from the rest of the group as well.
“I don’t think that's a good idea, sunshine,” Joel said. Sunshine, that was new, but you didn’t have the capacity to think about that. You turned to him and tried to plead with your eyes. You weren’t about to let your father’s death be a way for Ryan to get off. Your father had killed your sister and your mother and lived everyday with that burden, surely you will make it with this burden. Somehow, he understood, and you watched him take a breath, look you in the eyes in a way you couldn’t describe, and open his mouth, but before he could offer, you interrupted him.
“I’m doing it,” you turned back to your father, who was crying softly now. Vicki walked up to your father and hugged him.
“Thank you for saving me, you still barely know me, but I’m so sorry,” she said through sobs. You went back into the gas station, your father followed behind and then moved to stand in front of you. Joel and Tommy went in after but waited at the door. You looked your father in the eyes, trying to memorize every detail, and you realized his hand was slowly twitching as he brought it up to your face, like Hazel’s did, and you held his hand.
“I’m so sorry sweetheart, but I need you to promise me something. Keep going, don’t let this hold you back from finding a better life. Keep thinking of others even in times like these, you know it's what your mother would have wanted. Promise me,” he said through sobs.
“I promise,” you choked out. You were trying so hard to be strong for him. You didn’t want his last memory of you to be one of weakness, no matter how heartbreaking this whole situation is.
“Your mother, Hazel, and I will be waiting for you when you’re ready, so take your time, but sweetheart, nothing you’ve done has ever wavered my belief that you are a kind, smart, beautiful woman just trying to find her way in this broken world. I love you my sweet girl,” he pulled you into a hug and you squeezed him, trying to memorize the feeling of his heart beating against you.
“I love you too,” you finally sobbed out.
“Look out for her and please take care of her,” your father asked Joel and Tommy over your shoulder. There wasn’t a single second of hesitation before Joel said.
“We will.”
“Of course,” Tommy said. The Millers, despite it all, were good people and deep down you trusted them to keep their promise.
Your father pulled away first and you held his still twitching hand. “We’re running low on time, sweetheart. I don’t want you to see me any worse,” your father said softly and he kept your hand in his until he turned around and kneeled to the ground. You attempted to control your breathing, blinking back your tears. The worst thing you could do right now is miss and have to shoot your father twice. You knew he was exaggerating the time frame. He probably still had hours before things would become unsafe, at least that’s what you could put together from your encounters with people before they got infected, but you didn’t want to see him get any worse.
“It’s okay, sweet girl, it’s okay, it’s okay, it’s okay sweet girl,” your father repeated over and over. You summoned whatever power your dad had that night so many years ago. You looked at the back of his head and raised your gun, you inhaled, looked away, exhaled, and bang.
You dropped to the ground as did your fathers body, your knees already soaked in your father’s blood. Your father, who you had just murdered. You saw your gun get kicked away by a black boot and large arms were wrapped around you as you looked up to see… Joel, comforting you, holding you, and talking to you. You could see his mouth moving but you couldn’t hear him quite yet. You could still barely breathe. All you could do was scream.
“It’s okay, it’s okay, sunshine, just breathe. Just breathe, breathe with me.” You somehow managed to focus enough to hear what he was saying over your gut wrenching cries and eventually slow your breathing enough to go from screams to quiet cries in his arms. You felt another hand on your back and you assumed it to be Tommy’s. He blocked your view of your father with his body and your knuckles were white from the grip you had on Joel’s jacket.
You stayed there for a few minutes before suddenly standing up from where you were on the ground with Joel and Tommy and composed yourself. You’d shown enough emotion, but you all had places to be. This wasn’t a world where you had time to mourn or the safety to be vulnerable. You could only move on and use your grief to fuel your need for survival.
“We should get going soon, don’t want to waste anymore time,” you said.
“Okay. I think I might look around for a second. Help me, will ya Joel?” Tommy said softly, but you already headed outside where the rest of the group was. They all were just looking at you, they no doubt heard your screams so they must have been surprised when you emerged first with Joel and Tommy following a few minutes after. Joel handed you your gun back and you put it in the waistband of your jeans. There was still something different in his eyes when he looked at you but you had no idea what it was. Everyone looked at you with a sort of pity, even Ryan, but Joel’s was something else.
“Lets go,” you said and started walking East to Philadelphia, with Joel following right behind you, followed by Tommy, then Vicki, and then the rest of the group. You made a promise to your father, and you intended to keep it.
—
You couldn’t imagine how much further you all walked that day. It was the most you all had ever walked, probably due to the determination after your father’s death combined with the fact you now didn’t have your father’s age wearing you all down. A morbid, but true, fact. You tried to find the good things about your newfound no parent situation. You were 23 years old and had never been a day without one of your parents except for your occasional summer camp stay. You might even be the last of your goddamn bloodline alive since your father had never been able to reach any of his or your mother’s families when the government was still trying to make mail work. Yeah, dumb. You were now officially alone, and that thought almost relieved you. Now you really only have to worry about the safety of yourself. And maybe Joel and Tommy, but they haven’t proved to need your protection so far.
Your attention was brought back to the present with the burning of your thighs and calves, but feeling that physical pain was helping you deal with your emotional pain, so you decided to just really keep feeling the burn. Joel, Tommy, and you made up the back of the group, Sash, Vick, and Phillip in the middle, and Ryan and Luke in the front as always. This irked you a little bit, the way Ryan’s attitude and temper stopped anyone from arguing with him about whether or not he was trustworthy enough to be leading you all. A deep voice next to you saying something brings you out of your trance.
“What?” you say to Joel.
“Tunnels,” he repeats, “in the weird crawl space basement thing. Some not infected people must have been trying to stay safe down there and dig tunnels to wherever. Probably came up to use the gas station supplies when one of them must have gotten infected and then…”
“Gotten at least some of ‘em sick and the others climbed out and put the shelf over it. We couldn’t tell ya how far the tunnels went but ya got a lotta time on your hands in 10 years,” Tommy continued. That’s right, 10 years. If you could guess anything about the time of year it must have been March, maybe April based on the weather warming up. Either way, that meant your birthday was coming up soon in May. Not that you’d do anything for it or tell anyone. It was just confirmation of your aging and unavoidable acknowledgement that you were passing milestones Hazel would never get to. Gosh, she’d have turned 18 this year. An official adult. You couldn’t even imagine the chaos.
“So with Ryan’s habit of not being thorough,” Joel growled.
“I don’t wanna hear either of you say it could have been avoided,” you huffed. In what world did they see telling you this as helping?
“No, we’re not saying that. What we’re trying to get at is that this may be the thing to convince the others Ryan is in no position to lead this. The things he’s done, the things he’s made us do, and the things he doesn’t do that put us in danger can’t be ignored anymore,” Tommy pleads.
“Correction—he’s saying that. I think we should keep our fuckin’ mouths shut until we drop their asses in Philedelphia. I was gonna say his habit of not being thorough and sharing things with the group got your father infected and endangered the rest of us,” Joel whisper shouted at his brother. You three were far enough back that your conversations would at least be muffled to everyone else, but you never know how sound can carry. Plus, the Miller boys could yell.
“Which is exactly my point! Listen, sugar, I just think that if you…”
“You wanna use my father getting infected as a push point to, what, put you in charge?” you question him. He didn’t have an answer for that. “That’s ridiculous. Joel’s right, just keep your mouth shut for a couple more days and then we’ll be on our own and you can be in charge.” Tommy grabbed your arm, stopping you and forcing you to look at him.
“This isn’t about me being in charge, sugar, this is about the possibility of not letting more innocent people die,” Tommy started calling you sugar when he noticed whenever you ransacked a store for supplies you always looked for gummy candies or something sweet in an attempt to feed your never ending sweet tooth. You used to think the nickname was sweet, made you feel like part of the team, but now it just enraged you.
“Well, sugar,” you say back to him, your voice laced with venom, “We’ve been doing this for almost 4 years together now, and I don’t even know how long you were doing it before then, so I’m not sure what the hell is making you get cold feet all the sudden about the things we’ve done because it’s not gonna change anything. It doesn’t matter who told us to do it, we did it. So I’m sorry that you’re having trouble sleeping at night, but if we’re going to make it to Boston we have to leave things as they are.” Both Miller boys looked at you with their jaws slightly dropped. Losing your father had already started to change things. That was the most words you’d said to anybody at once, even your father, in the 4 years they’ve known you. There was no one there to do the talking while you observed anymore, so you were gonna talk.
“And my father wasn’t one of the innocent people you need to feel guilty about losing. Did you know I listened to him kill my sister and my mother on outbreak day when they got sick? Did you know that whenever our hospitality started being taken for granted he threatened people with bullets to their legs and shoulders? Or did you know he used to tell me that I couldn’t kill anything, not a farm animal or infected, because a woman shouldn’t have blood on her hands? And all that was before I met you and you know what he did after, so don’t try to make my father out to be some innocent old man who died protecting a stranger.” Your father was a brave man, you loved him more than anything, and maybe it’s just the grief talking, but after the world fell apart, he became a different kind of man. Of course, as always, this was the same old story for most people after the outbreak and the things your father was guilty of, you were guilty of too, but he was not an innocent man. The Miller boys didn’t know this but there were things he did that Ryan didn’t ask him to. Things that were too dark, even for you. He’d have done anything to protect you, he just didn’t know when it was too far.
“Is there a problem here?” Ryan asked. You hadn’t realized in your rage that you’d called attention from the rest of the group.
“No,” you said, “just talking to Tommy about how I killed my father today. What’s on your agenda for the rest of the day?” You finished your response with a smile. Mentioning killing someone distracted Ryan and made everyone else uncomfortable, given the situation. Then, asking what Ryan wanted the plan to be reminded him that he was in charge and stroked his ego so he’d forget what started the conversation and wouldn’t get suspicious about your argument with Tommy. Therefore, if anyone else was still suspicious, they wouldn’t mention it now.
If you had to name your top three strengths it would be observant, tactical, and seductive. You had an allure that pulled people in like no one in your group had ever seen. And sometimes you didn’t even have to try, they’d just look at you and do what you suggested. This especially worked on men because most of them think with their dicks and boy did you have the looks to make their pants twitch. It hadn’t worked out in your favor a couple times, but Joel would always barge in and rescue you. He had an effect on people that ignited fear, but you knew who he really was. He’d only been too late once, and he swore never again.
“Well, looking at the sun we got roughlyyy 2 hours to sunset, so I say we use the rest of our time to find a spot to spend the night. We should make it to Philadelphia within the fortnight,” Ryan said. You all made your way into a neighborhood that had been bombed after outbreak day and found a house that had managed to stay mostly intact.
“Joel and I will do the sweep,” Tommy said and you smiled at him softly. You may have had an argument earlier, but you knew where he was coming from deep down and you couldn’t blame him.
After the sweep and looking to see if there was anything useful left in the house, everyone ate food from their packs and by dusk everyone was getting ready to settle in for the night. Today you laid your sleeping bag in between Tommy and Joel.
“I’ll take the first watch,” Joel said quickly. He made eye contact with you but neither of you said anything. You shimmied down into your sleeping bag, watching as Joel positioned himself in front of the window, you glanced down and when you looked back up, Joel was looking at you. Eventually, sleep lulled you away and you felt safer than you had in months knowing Joel was the one watching over you.
—
It had been roughly two weeks since your father died, well since you killed him, and they were really tough. Not just for you and your grief, but for Tommy and Joel too. Their relationship had become a bit strained since you had a run in with another group of raiders and Tommy had held back. Which caused you and Joel to step up to cover his lack of “results” as Ryan would say. You did things you didn’t even know you were capable of because your father had never let you, and Joel delivered as always. He had this ability to just zone out into a blind rage and finish his “tasks.” This was starting to frustrate Tommy more and more every time Joel had to do something. Thankfully you should only be a few hours out from Philadelphia, and under the cover of night, over half your group would split and it would just be you and the Millers. Then hopefully when your decisions were in your own hands Tommy would calm down a bit and realize you have to do what you have to to survive out here.
“There it is,” Phillip said, “the Philadelphia QZ.” The QZ was surrounded by a large concrete wall, making it look more intimidating than safe.
“Alright, we’ll get a little closer, wait till dark, then part ways,” Ryan said.
By nightfall, the group had dished out what supplies they had left to you and the Millers and started making their advance into the QZ. The plan was to go around to the side, cut a hole in the chain link fence, and sneak in through the tunnels.
They never made it. The FEDRA guards must have noticed movement because before you knew it they were firing their weapons and your group members were being blown to bits. Safely hidden, you weren’t worried about getting hit yourself, just what might happen if they came out to assess the bodies and found you. So you ran off quickly, trying to process what just happened. They’re supposed to let people into the QZs, that’s the purpose of them. Would that happen to us?
“I don’t think we can sneak in,” you said after the running/walking in the dark you had been partaking in.
“The fuck you mean?” Joel said to you.
“You watched them get blown to bits because they probably saw the movement and thought they were infected. We’re not infected, so why shouldn’t we be able to walk in the front doors?” you questioned them. If Tommy doesn’t want to do things Ryan’s way anymore, here’s a start. “Look either way, we either get into the QZ or die.”
“We’re getting into that QZ,” Tommy said.
“Yes we will,” Joel confirmed, “but first we sleep, we’re far enough out now, I’ll watch.”
“Are you sure? You watched last night,” Tommy pried.
“Yeah I can do it Joel,” you pleaded him. If anything, you wanted time to process through watching your “friends” get blown up right before you.
“Fine, but wake me up when you get tired,” Joel said.
“Or me,” Tommy added, annoyed.
Both brothers got into their sleeping bags, still on either side of you, and they went to sleep. You clutched your gun in your hand a little tighter, you rarely kept watch when your dad was around, someone else just always ended up taking it or he did, but you didn’t mind it. It gave you a real chance to think. And tonight you had quite a bit to think about. You didn’t let yourself get super close to anyone other than Joel and Tommy, it was too much of a risk to get close with everyone because of all the uncertainty out there. It wasn’t anything personal, it was more of a protection method.
But that didn’t mean there weren’t things you’d miss and times you’d think about. Naturally, since you, Sash, and Vick were together all the time your cycles ended up linking up. When that happened and you hadn’t found any pads or tampons in a while, you would use old ripped up clothes instead. Whenever you were near a body of water, the three of you would get up early and rinse them out and just talk as if you weren’t in the middle of an apocalypse. You couldn’t even remember what you’d even talk about but you just remember laughing with them until one of the guys would uncomfortably call you back. They were always so on edge when you all were on your periods.
There was also the time during one of Vick, Sash, and Phil’s night time exercise sessions that woke everyone up. At the beginning, it always woke you up but eventually you could sleep through it. This one night in particular, however, the three of them were so lost in the moment when Vick was supposed to be keeping watch that they didn’t realize the shelf they were fucking against wasn’t that stable and they knocked it over onto Blake, Luke, and Ryan with a huge crash. Thankfully, the shelves in the gas station were mostly empty and the boys didn’t have anything more severe than some deep cuts, bad bruises, and sore bodies but none of them kept watch for a while after that.
Blake also had a thing for you for a while. He’d always try to walk by you, talk to you, and offer you things, much to the annoyance of both Joel and Tommy because then they couldn’t talk to you or your father about anything that he would run off to tell Ryan about. He was a sweet guy and everything, he even picked some wildflowers for you one time which did genuinely touch you. Plus he was a better guy than Ryan but he was bitten by an infected, you didn’t cry about it.
Then there was what plagued your mind the most, your father. Who he was before and the man you ignored he was becoming. You wanted to keep your childhood innocent version of him in your mind but then you’d think about things he willingly did, and your image of him in your mind started blurring into someone you didn’t want to acknowledge, which is what hurt the most. You knew you’d started to push him away when you started traveling 4 years ago, so you can’t help but blame yourself for what he became. Which you know isn’t fair, but you can’t help that’s the way it makes you feel. You sighed to yourself in frustration and blinked back a few tears and looked up at the stars. That was one thing you appreciate about the lack of electricity, less light pollution, more stars. Through the trees you found the little and big dippers and some other constellations.
You tore your eyes away from the stars and as you sat on your sleeping bag, now staring out into the distance you brought yourself out of your head by listening to the soft, rumbling snores of Joel and the chainsaw-level snorting that came from Tommy when he is actually getting restful sleep. You chuckled softly to yourself and rolled your eyes because of course, you can’t really blame him for snoring but damn he was loud and would certainly dampen your ability to hear people coming. You prayed to a God you can’t decide if you still believe in that there were no infected nearby. You clutched your mother’s necklace and fiddled with it anxiously, but here you are with the Miller brothers, gearing yourself up to finish what was hopefully your last time ever having to walk across half the country.

23 Books in 2023
@mrs-storm-andrews tagged me a while ago to name 23 books I read this year. This year was rather rocky, so no 23 book titles, reading thoroughly wasn't really in the cards for several months. However here are some titles for fun reading the endless titles for studies don't count...
Getrude and Claudius by John Updyke
Posession by Antionia S. Byatt
The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye by Antonia S. Byatt
Butter by Yuzuki Asako (Personal favourite!)
Tyll by Daniel Kehlmann (also a personal favourite)
Sisi by Karen Duve
Травля, the Hunt by Sasha Filipenko
zur See! by Dörte Hansen
Djamilja by Cingiz Aijtmatov (however the names are latinized in English...)
the white ship by Cingiz Aijtmatov
Miss Smilla's sense for snow by Peter Høeg
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Susanne Collins
the Bloody Chamber and other stories by Angela Carter
House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski
Lapvona by Otessa Moshfeg
la Belle sauvage by Phillip Pullmann
other people's clothes by Calla Henkel
The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisnero
the big Sleep by Raymond Chandler
honourable mentions of BD and manga: re-read of le Chat du Rabbin (defintie recommendation), Dungeon Meshi, re-read of the entire Noragami series, and part 3 of my lesbian experience with loneliness by Nagata Kabi
honourable mention of Ephraim Kishon's shorts as they never fail to make me laugh.
Next up, if anyone would like to share their favourite titles from this year: @bookwyrrn, @maddenedbythesstars, @thewitch-2077, @bengalaas. @moviestorian, @quimaera, @frederick-the-great, @bigre-fichtre, @nikita-not-nikola, @ante--meridiem, @historia-vitae-magpie, @rainhalydia, @janiedean, @devilinthebox

Misha attended Northfield Mount Hermon school in Massachusetts. A very fancy (expensive) prep school. But Misha only went there on a local poor kid scholarship, he didn't pay. And it was from eighth or ninth grade onward, so he would've been at least 12 or 13 before he experienced the wealthy side of New England life. He's said that he met Darius there when he was 12 (and Vicki there when he was 15) and Darius used to bring an extra lunch to school for Misha because Misha didn't have much to eat. Darius also gave Misha clothes because he didn't have much in that regard either. Prior to getting that scholarship, Misha and his little brother and mom were homeless, living in a tent in the woods at one point, in an office with no windows at another. Misha and Sasha attended various public elementary schools. As I understand it, Misha also got a scholarship to study at the University of Chicago after high school. But he did also say that he and Vicki were "hundreds of thousands" of dollars in debt before he got the gig on Supernatural (much of that I assume was student debt, as they both got BA's from UofC and Vicki went on to do a Masters and PhD too. Expensive!) The White House internship was also unpaid (until 2022 when Pres Biden signed a new spending bill that set aside money to pay WH interns. But when Misha did his internship in the 90s it was unpaid.) I don't think he met his (very rich) friend Phillip until after college, sometime in his 20s.
yeah, this makes sense (even if I have no idea who Philip is). idk if you are the same anon from the earlier ask but everything you wrote just confirms Misha didn't grow up wealthy. Going to a fancy private school isn't the same as being rich. I think Misha's college diary shows very well what his attitude to those rich privileged kids was like at the time. He certainly didn't feel like he belonged with them in any way.
