wayv as not-so-common romance tropes - hendery
description: on a thursday afternoon you get assigned to a patient who's undeniably very good looking, but, as it turns out, not that good at skateboarding
pairing: patient!hendery x gn!nurse!reader
cw: descriptions of being hospitalised (nothing too serious) and needles (iv), one curse word at the end
word count: ~1,660
author's note: the second part is out!! enjoy hendery being down bad (i promise not everyone in this series will be a complete loser). just a psa to anyone that knows sth about nursing - i don't, so even though i tried to do some research i have no idea if this is accurate, forgive me if it's not (i've also never been to the er with a physical injury so i really don't know what it looks like) 🙏
"room two-o-six, an accident on a skateboard,"
thursday, a quarter past two in the afternoon, about an hour and a half into your shift. you had already made a round around the unit to check up on some of the patients and went through a chunk of paperwork that was starting to pile up on your desk, when you got called in to take care of a newly arrived patient.
"wong guanheng. male, twenty four years old, crashed while doing tricks," the head nurse explained briefly, pushing up her thin framed glasses as she looked on the paper in her hands. "probably just a sprained ankle and some nasty bruises, he should be out by the end of the day." after adding some final details, she finished, sending a quick glance and an encouraging smile your way before twirling around unceremoniously to continue her own duties.
you followed suit, making your way to the nearby room two-o-six. you scanned the inside as you entered in an attempt to find the man you were supposed to take care of, which turned out to be an easier task than you had expected. among all of the patients who were placed in that room, there was only one person around your age, and only one person with their hair in the color of bubblegum. it was probably safe to assume you had found your target.
wong guanheng, as the head nurse told you, was sitting on his bed with one leg - the injured one, you guessed - stretched out, bedsheets folded and placed underneath for support. he was leaning back on the elevated backrest, eyes focused on whatever he was watching on his phone that he propped against his healthy leg, bent in the knee.
although you wouldn't dare to admit it out loud, it was hard to look past the fact that he was a very attractive person. in fact, he was so attractive that, for the first time since your rookie days, you felt your insides tighten and tie themselves into a knot from nervousness. but you were nothing if not a professional - you reminded yourself of the mantra you said every time something made you feel the opposite way, as you cleared your throat and approached the patient.
the said man looked up from his phone when you were a few feet away from him, and as cliché as it might sound, he swore that for the next few, very long seconds, everything was happening in slow motion. you began by introducing yourself as friendly as you could - something you did to every patient to make their experience of being in the hospital at least a bit more comfortable. silence fell between the two of you as guanheng tried to overcome the sudden dryness in his throat, before finally murmuring a barely audible "hi", and shutting off the phone in his hands that he just realised was still playing the video he had been watching.
you smiled politely in response and proceeded to ask a few basic questions to get a hold of his current state. his answers to each of them were short and quiet, they gave you all the information you needed to move on, but nothing above that. although you had to fill in some blanks yourself because of his mumbling, you managed to grasp that he fell from a ramp in a skatepark and was in mild pain (he said it didn't hurt, but you noticed the way he winced while trying to reposition himself on the bed).
guanheng's eyes followed your every move as you made your way to the iv stand next to him to prepare some painkillers. "must have been a tough one, huh?" you spoke up again in an attempt to ease his tension a bit as you opened the packaged needles and drug bottles. he didn't respond, appearing slightly puzzled, so you continued. "that skateboard trick you were doing. must have been a tough one to get you here."
his mouth formed into an 'o' shape, before quickly transforming into a thin line as he looked down to his hands in embarrassment.
"yeah, i tried... i was learning a new one," he stumbled on his words, trying to come up with something - preferably a full sentence this time - that wouldn't make him seem pathetic.
"i'm usually really good at this..."
if guanheng didn't feel stupid before, then after your chuckle and the disbelieving glance you sent his way, he certainly would.
done with the preparations, you informed him that you were going to insert the iv with painkillers, to which he didn't protest, fully aware that nothing sensible would come out of his mouth at that moment. and although that saved him some embarrassment, he knew you noticed the way he flinched at your touch when you took his hand to sanitise the area.
with that thought, he lowered his head to hide behind his bright colored bangs, face stained deep red from the nose to the tips of his ears. the warmth on his skin was so intense and overbearing that he didn't even feel the needle piercing through the skin of his palm, nor did he acknowledge the fact that it had been a good minute since you finished, and you were staring at him, amused.
"press that button if you need anything," you finally said, partially because you wanted to give him a break and let him actually rest, and partially because you knew you had to go on to your next errands. "you shouldn't walk untill you get a brace, so if you need to go somewhere just let me know."
having said that, you turned around on your heel, leaving guanheng in shambles, alone with his flushed face and rambling thoughts.
he was hopeless.
almost the whole day passed just like that. you met him another few times, either because he had called (though the first time it took him an hour of contemplating the pros and cons of going to the bathroom on his own and risking making his injury worse), or because you had to take him to the examination room to run some tests. every time, you would try to intiate a casual conversation, and at first he would reply with single words or nods of his head.
you caught on what was happening rather quickly - you weren't that oblivious. you saw him talk to the doctors without stuttering or his face turning all red, so you knew he felt the same clasp in his stomach at the sight of you that he made you experience. but in your head, it just didn't seem right to ask a patient out. and even though you were glad someone like him had interest in you, your ego getting a boost from seeing him getting shy at anything you say, you couldn't help but feel a slight twinge of anxiety that, although you thought the probability was small, your instincts might turn out to be completely wrong. you would simply never recover from the shame if any of the other nurses, let alone the head nurse, found out.
but as he seemed to get a bit more relaxed after a few times you came to check up on him, his scarce responses slowly turned into whole sences, untill he would not only engage in the conversations, but even start them.
"just so you know, i lied," he said one time, turning his head as much as he could to look at you as you pushed his temporary wheelchair from behind. you answered by shooting him a questioning glance and waited for him to clarify, "about the skateboarding thing, i'm not that good at it."
you giggled, stopping the mobility aid near the door to the doctor's office you had been heading to. you turned to face him, arms crossed at your chest, smile never leaving your face.
"yeah, i figured."
near nine thirty in the evening, guanheng was finally being discharged. all his tests came out good, the head nurse's prediction about a sprained ankle being correct. he had a brace put on, so he was standing on his own in front of you in the hallway as you were handing him the documents and intructions for a fast recovery.
"that's all, i hope you get well soon." you said, butterflies erupting in your stomach once again because of how close you were. you didn't let the small smile on your face disappear when you cursed them out in your head. the man thanked you, nodding his head as he briefly scanned the papers. you found yourself in silence - just like during your first meeting earlier that day, albeit nearly not as awkward. his eyes flickered between the prescriptions and your face before he sighed,
"it might be a weird thing to ask but..." he breathed out while his fingers played with the corner of the plastic sleeve that you had put the documents in, "would you mind giving me your number? you... you seem really nice and, like, i know it's technically your job and uh- wait, there's no, like, policy against it, is there?"
your couldn't stop your smile from growing even bigger as he hurried and stumbled on his words, his ears gaining the familiar, dark shade, that you had already seen several times that day.
fuck being professional, you thought, reaching for the pen you kept in the pocket of your uniform while looking around to see if anyone was paying attention, before taking the papers back into your hands. you quickly scribbled your phone number onto the backside of the top sheet, and passed them to him once again.
"nope, not that i know about."
and with that, guanheng left the hospital while clutching the records to his chest, grateful that he never got himself to practice skateboarding more often.

Zoomers and Noisemakers
Summary: On another boring afternoon, Eddie asks Max to teach him how to skateboard. She agrees in exchange for a guitar lesson.
No warnings or ships! Technically part 5 if you're going in order but they can all be read standalone!
(Masterlist)
Wordcount: 2500
-----------
The sun beat down on the trailer park on another hot summer day, just like the last stretch of days that had just passed by.
Eddie had a cigarette hanging lazily out of his mouth and was plucking away at his guitar to make muted sounds sans amplifier, trying to keep time with the dull sound scraping of Max’s skateboard going back and forth between her two homemade ramps. The repetitive motions made both of their minds start to glaze over until the boredom hit, and Eddie stopped playing to watch Max skate instead.
It looked kinda fun, he thought. She felt his eyes on him and slowed to a halt.
"What?" She asked curiously.
"...do you think I could learn to do that?" He asked, looking at the board in her hands. Max raised her eyebrows.
"You want to learn how to skate?" She asked incredulously, and he frowned at her disbelief.
"What's so surprising about that? I think it fits the whole look!" He said, gesturing to himself and Max squinted suspiciously.
"That right there was enough to tell me that you're not ready." She said, overly haughty with a dismissive shake of her head.
Keep reading
"Alright, what's the right answer?" He asked, and she put the board down and pushed herself towards the ramp.
She thought as she jumped up the ramp and landed with a thud and she grinned smugly while he rolled her eyes.
"Are you really saying that you don't do all this just to look cool?"
"No way, it's more than that. It's like…a video game. You practice over and over until you get the high score on the cabinet and it's super satisfying." She accentuated the end of her sentence by jumping up and flipping the board under her feet. "It's like that- but faster-"
She did another trick, and came to a halt. "Also it makes me look cool."
Eddie grinned at her, squinting into the sun.
"Sounds a little like playing guitar but with more injuries." he mused, and she nodded, still rolling back and forth with the methodical and steady scraping sound of the wheels.
"Sorta."
"Do you play an instrument?" He asked, and she shook her head.
"Nah, always kinda wanted to learn, though."
"Do you want me to teach you?"
She thought for a second and shrugged, stopping again.
"Can you teach me Kate Bush songs?" She asked, and he smiled.
"I'll have to learn one first, but sure. On one condition, though."
She raised an eyebrow.
"Just one skateboarding lesson to see if I'd be any good. Pleeeease?"
-------------
Wayne saw Susan hanging up laundry outside on that sunny day and decided to bring her over a cup of coffee.
"Morning, ma'am." He said with a toothy grin, and handed her a carefully selected mug.
"Oh! Thank you, Wayne." She took a sip and made a noise of satisfaction. "Our coffee maker has been broken for a week and I haven't gotten around to fixing it yet, so I really appreciate it."
Wayne grinned, taking a sip of his own coffee, and followed Susan's eyes to their kids. Eddie had on a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads over the leather jacket, goggles, combat boots, and gloves. Bad sign.
Worse sign, was him holding Max's extra skateboard, and she was miming how he should stand.
"That doesn't seem like it's gonna end well." Susan said, sipping her coffee.
"No I don't reckon it will. Boy's got no coordination whatsoever." Wayne frowning and shaking his head, also taking a drink.
They both continued to watch as Eddie took his first nervous steps onto the board, holding onto the top of Max’s head to stay upright while his other arm swung around waving wildly in terror and an attempt to balance. The coffee warmed them up and they both made satisfied mmm sounds as they cradled their mugs.
"Think we should stop them?" Susan asked, glancing at Wayne, who shrugged.
"Eddie'll give it up faster if he doesn't think we know." he muttered astutely
"That's a good point. I'm pretty sure the main draw for Max at first was getting better than anybody that told her it wasn't for girls."
"She do it?" Wayne asked curiously, and Susan grinned proudly.
"Of course she did."
Wayne smiled too. "Of course she did."
Eddie wobbled again and took his first fall, somehow head first
After an hour and a bumped nose, Eddie was sitting on the ground breathing heavily, holding a tissue over his face despite the lack of blood.
"I'm sorry, Max- I'm admitting defeat. I'm not a zoomer like you." He said while still catching his breath. She snorted a laugh and sat down next to him, slugging him on the shoulder lightly but still feeling bad when he winced.
“Like fuck you’re not- just because you’re better driving the car than riding behind it doesn’t mean that you’re not zoomer material.”
Eddie grinned, feeling his bruised pride healing up by a warm campfire.
Guitar, however, was proving a bit more productive. Eddie listened to the song she chose a couple times and tried to sort out the notes but gave up and went to the music store instead, steadfastly ignoring the raised eyebrows of the regular cashier.
The song was a little harder to learn than he thought, and he spent like a week simplifying enough for her to learn it before anything else.
Susan hadn't fixed the coffee maker yet, and she wouldn't lie and say that wasn't making the outdoor concert any easier.
Eddie was trying to teach Max how to play guitar. Max had always been very determined as far as practice makes perfect goes, but clearly something about this wasn’t coming naturally enough to start with.
“Eddie this stupid guitar is built for your huge weird monster hands. Why are the thingies so far apart?”
“Don’t insult the Dragonslayer- which thingies?”
“Shut up, you know. The bars.”
“The frets.” He corrected, and she glared at him.
“Don’t start with your lingo.”
“That’s what it’s called!”
“This machine slays dragons- what does that even mean?” She asked. “Isn’t it supposed to say this machine kills fascists? What kind of statement are you even making with this?”
“What? It’s not a statement it’s just- “
Susan grimaced seeing the argument, hoping that she wasn’t about to see the destruction of the friendship that had brought her daughter so much stability over the summer implode due to her frustration.
Wayne came over with a different mug filled with coffee with a little cream and handed it to her. She took it and smiled at him gratefully, feeling warmed by the recurring gesture and the bit of friendship she herself had found alongside it. She hadn’t realized how much she needed it, or how much of a difference a warm ever-changing mug in her hands every chilly morning would make.
“What have we got today?” Wayne asked curiously, eyeing Susan carefully until she took her first sip with both hands curled around the mug and exhaled in satisfaction to be sure he’d added the right amount of sugar and cream before he drank as well, and looked back to their kids.
“I believe Eddie is trying to teach my daughter how to play guitar.”.
They watched as Eddie tried to explain and Max just got more frustrated.
“You were the one that wanted to start with Kate Bush and not itsy bitsy spider.” Eddie complained at her frustration after the fifth time he couldn’t get her fingers to get to the right notes.
“UGH- you didn’t tell me that was an option. Teach me that one.” She thrust the guitar forward and he stood up in refusal.
“No! That’s boring- you’ve got this. You’re just getting too in your head. Just like…jam out a little!”
“I don’t know how to jam because I don’t know how to play.”
“I know that! I’m saying just do whatever. It’s great. It just makes noise.” He said excitedly, and Max’s eyebrows raised.
“While that does explain an awful lot about you- I don’t want to just make noise, though- I want to like- play music or whatever.”
“Ok, well, make some noise and we can make that music.”
Max rolled her eyes, not really liking this game, and strummed randomly on the strings, and Eddie made two odd sounds.
“What was that?”
“Nothing. Why’d you stop?”
“Because I’m not doing anything.”
“It’s music, Max! Max, feel the music.”
“Stop saying music like that, Eddie.”
“Max.”
“Eddie.”
“The music, Max.”
“Stop.”
“Maxine.”
“Edward.”
“Maxine.”
“Edward.”
“…it’s about the music.” He whispered, and she slammed on the strings again in retaliation, and he made the two sounds again.
“That- what was that?”
“Keep playing and maybe you’ll find out what it is.” He teased.
Max groaned with a hidden smile and just strummed the strings of the guitar as wildly as she could, and dropped her mouth in oncoming laughter when one of Eddie’s hands went outwards and another went towards his face like a microphone.
“It doesn’t hurt me- The tune was recognizable in the strangled sounds he was making. Eddie could sing, she was pretty sure that it was him that she could hear singing softly while smoking on his porch late at night. This was noise, plain and simple.
Max put her fingers over the strings to stop it ringing, and he put his arms down onto his hips.
“What was that?” she demanded.
“Yooou were the one who told me to stop saying music in a weird way and now I can’t explain- keep playing for me my young friend!” he declared grandly, and she rolled her eyes as obviously as she could.
Max started to strum the guitar randomly again and Eddie’s arms went out again.
“You wanna know that it doesn’t hurt meeee?You wanna hear about the deeeealll?”
Max tried her best to at least hit the strings where the words went.
“If only I cooooould I’d make a deal with gooooood-”
Max stopped again, it took Eddie a little longer.
“Literally stopping right there was treasonous.Why did you stop playing? This is a concert!” He shouted gleefully to the nonexistent audience.
“No it isn’t!” a distant voice called.
“Then go home!” Eddie shouted back, and Max snorted a laugh.
“I am home!” the voice said, but Eddie waved it off.
“Do you know all the words?” She asked, a little bemused, and he tilted his head.
“Yeah? You lent it to me ages ago-I had to listen to it like 30 times to figure out the notes so I could teach you.”
Max looked a little surprised, and for a moment Eddie wondered if he had done something wrong, until she smiled, and unhooked the strap from over her head.
“I wanna hear you play it, then.” She said, handing the guitar back, and he took it gingerly.
“Are you sure? I learned it to teach it to you.” he said, oddly confused, and Max sat on the picnic table.
“I just wanna hear it.” She said with a smile, and he nodded his head, a little flattered.
“Fine- but I need you on percussion.”
“What does that mean?”
Eddie looked around until he found a bucket full of tools that he surreptitiously dumped on the ground and presented to her upside town.
“Do you know how it goes? The ch-ch chhh ch-ch chh”
Max gave the bucket a few practice taps and Eddie gave her a thumbs up and sat on the bench beside her.
Susan and Wayne’s heads turned in surprise when the music changed from unbearable noise to something quite…nice.
They looked sweet, Max on the bucket drum while Eddie sat next to her plucking away. It looked so peaceful and sweet that Wayne and Susan almost went to grab the camera.
Eddie began to sing. Not shriek or whatever that sound was before, just the words to the song as best he could, a little more pitchy than he’d like but all three of his visible audience and a few people inside smiled at the sound
He continued to play, and as it got to the next rousing chorus Max looked excited at the buildup, but seemed a little let down when he continued to softly croon instead. When she saw him grin she made an annoyed noise.
"Max I wish- Max I wish- you were singin with meeeee" Eddie sang along to the tune.
"Noo- just play it."
“See how deep the bullet lies!” Eddie belted out so loudly and suddenly that they an Max jumped.
“I thought you were just gonna play it?”
“Max at least give me some back-uuup?” He sang along to the tune, then stopped playing and looked at her.
She snorted a laugh and acquiesced. “Yeah yeah, yeah yeah.” She said to the right beat but in a flat voice, and he started playing again.
"There is thunder in our hearts!."
Eddie kept singing while Max supplied the appropriate yeah-yeah-yeahs and she occasionally started a line before tapering off, though she sang a little more each time.
Wayne and Susan both glanced at each other. Susan, because Max had been listening to the tape nonstop since it came out, Wayne, because Eddie had been practicing it for a week, and counted down as the two of them sang badly together.
3-2-there they go.
Top of their lungs both of them belted out the first rendition of the chorus.
Susan couldn’t stop grinning, because Max had seemed to have completely forgotten that she was in public, or perhaps knew and truly didn’t care. The drum was ignored as she started singing overly dramatically with her arms with enough irony to make it fun but real enough that she was still letting something out.
They both cackled as it came to a close but Eddie kept singing without missing a beat, and Max cheered and kept playing the bucket while he belted the rest out horrifically loudly with her joining him with the background vocals.
He finished the song grandly, standing to bow while Max cheered, but he grabbed her hand to pull her up standing to bow alongside him. Her cheeks turned red but she did, with an arm out grandly as her mom and Wayne gave them a standing ovation, along with a few claps from around the trailer park as the two of them kept laughing, unembarrassed and clapping their hands in applause for themselves as they turned another boring summer day into one to remember.
thanks for reading!

mad max
alternate title, i read ‘runaway max’ and is experiencing feelings-
other alt title, max getting into a fight -> max going to a safe place -> safe place is not so safe -> oh fuck.
I GOT MY GENDER HCS
they/them robin and max, he/they jonathan, he/him steve, they/she el, canon everyone else
cw-abuse, suicidal ideation, blood, suicide, drug addiction, alcoholism
seriously. this is dark.
max’s back hit the doorway as they tripped backwards, trying their best to flatten themself against it as they watched-frozen, while neil slid off his belt and wrapped it around his hand.
they watched their mother’s mouth thin, stepping away into the kitchen, watched billy on the floor with a cut lip and red cheek.
it felt like all their emotions were draining out of their body as they saw the belt come down, hit after hit after hit after hit.
only when billy was shaking on the floor in a small pool of his own blood did max feel their legs again, stumbling backwards onto the floor and racing up the stairs on their hands and knees before crawling into their room and sobbing.
sobbing until they couldn’t anymore because their throat was raw and their face was red, until their pillows were soaked, until their eyes and nose were puffy.
until max felt so drained of everything, emotion, tears, will to fight back-that they just lie there, wishing for something to be poured into them, to fill them up a little bit.
that was just under two years ago.
today, nancy dropped them off with a concerned look and a warm hug before heading back to robin’s house.
today, max was home after dark, and was praying-even if they thought religion was stupid-that neil and their mother were both asleep.
they reached the second to last stair before the bedroom door opened and he stepped out.
max scrambled back down the stairs and balled their fists.
“get back up here.”
they stood, shaking ever so slightly. “no.”
“what did you say to me?”
“i-i said no. you’re not my dad.”
neil stalked down the stairs, ending right next to max and coming so close that they could smell the whiskey and cigarettes on his breath.
“say that again.”
ever so slowly, a little bit of rage dripped onto max.
“i said you’re not my goddamn father, neil.” saying it out loud felt like invisible forces were shoving him back-even if he didn’t move.
then it felt like slow motion, watching his fist pull back and then get bigger and bigger until max’s right cheek erupted in pain, the force sending them back into the wall as another blow came.
all control left, the rage poured into max, filling and overflowing them with red hot fire and fury.
kicking out franticly with their legs, a flashback to lucas’ knee digging into billy’s groin as max’s red sneakers slammed into neil’s, watching him fall over and yell, bounding over him and into their room-slamming the lock shut.
max dropped to their stomach, wiping blood from their eyebrow-maybe nose, maybe both-they couldn’t tell-and grabbed their backpack from under the bed, throwing in a first aid kit and skate kit, other essentials throwing it in-comics, favorite books-walkman and tapes.
they were struggling to open the window when the banging started-fear replaced anger, as if it froze in a flash, holding their skateboard like a sword, hearing the splintering of wood and their mother’s scared tone-it all made max want to curl up and die. curl up and never be seen again.
there was a crack, and neil fell through the door, screaming curses. max yelled, slammed their board into the window as it cracked and-without looking down or hesitating, jumped out.
they could feel their pants rip in the knee when they landed, knew that their arm was bleeding badly, and while wiping their now bleeding nose and eyebrow and they ran, slinging their backpack over their shoulder and skating away as fast as possible-max thanked adrenaline. thank god they didn’t feel pain yet.
robin was closest-just 4 blocks to the video store, and another 3 to robin.
almost there. almost-
“ROBIN-! ROBIN HELP!!”
max screamed, still three houses away, now running with their skateboard, pounding on robin’s front door-falling through when steve opened it, laying on their back while jonathen’s jaw dropped above them.
“holy shit.”
max closed their eyes chest heaving while the boys took in their injuries, “can i stay here for the night?”
they woke up two hours later on robin’s couch, nancy wheeler sitting next to them holding a needle, “hey i just finished, take it easy ok?”
max nodded slowly, taking note of the hushed whispers coming from robin and steve in the room over, the dull twinge in their ribs, right leg, left arm, and the right side of their face.
“thanks, nancy...”
the older girl gave max a soft smile, “how did this happen?”
max let out their breath, and nancy listened-her face a mask of calm, arm never leaving max’s shoulder.
“you’re not going back there. ever. ok?”
“thank you.” and a small smile dug it’s way up to max’s face.
and so they got the couch-dubbed theirs by robin and the little sign they put up as a joke-an attempt to make max smile.
the party came round soon enough, bursting through the door-with mike and nancy’s parents out on a date and joyce working late, robin suggested her house.
el was the first to notice, plopping themself next to max and pressing a kiss to their cheek.
lucas was second, “why is max here?”
steve rubbed the back of his neck and max swallowed dryly, “well. they...uh. because they can, it’s no biggie.”
he raised an eyebrow as will sat down and opened his book, now mike joining in, to the plummet of max’s stomach, “why? it’s not fair-robin’s house is cooler because their parents are never home, so why can’t we stay here all the time.”
they watched robin’s eye flick to their girlfriend as nancy sighed, jerking her head slightly ‘look, he’s a dick-i’m sorry.’ “max is special privileges now, ‘kay nerd?”
dustin snicked, and mike’s face turned red, now glaring at max.
“what makes you so special now?”
some part of max wished he would shup up on his own, they knew he’d never really liked them, but god could mike wheeler shut his fucking mouth for one goddamn second?
“doesn't matter.” came the reply with a shrug, standing up to the disappointed sign of eleven as her head slipped off max’s shoulder. “sorry.”
“yeah, it does matter. why are you the favorite? it’s bullshit.”
nancy groaned, “mike, lay off ok?”
he wheeled on his sister, “no! just ‘cause you hang around here all the time doesn't mean that they can-it’s just unfair. max gets special shit all the time. robin’s always giving them tapes for free-steve with ice cream, i’m sick of it! why don’t we all get it the same?”
max’s fists clenched from being the couch, what the hell gave him the right to question it?
will put his book down, and dustin put a hand on mike’s shoulder, “dude, c’mon it’s not a big deal.”
lucas shrugged, “i’m curious as well but really. leave them alone.”
mike glared at them, “go on-what makes you so special. and don’t say your brother kicking it.”
and that’s when the bucket cracked, and all of it-every last drop came spilling onto max, running into them, heating them-they heard static and saw blurry-like crying but without the water.
until they heard billy’s voice blasting in their ears. “mad max. all right, then.”
they swung at mike. hit him in the left eye and sent him down to his butt-it felt good. great even.
“i’m so fucking special huh? special that my step-dad hits me? or that every cent i get is taken so yeah, i get free stuff-stuff that steve uses from his salary to pay for, and robin too. i’m not fucking special, mike. i’m at the end of my rope. and i don’t even have enough of it left to make a proper goddamn noose if i wanted to-which, fuck-i really do want right now!”
max grabbed his collar, the sounds of everyone’s protests droned out in the static. raising their fist again, “so fuck you.”
robin’s voice cut through, “MAX.”
and they froze, not out of choice, but out of force. looking up wildly as their vision tunneled to eleven, blood slowly trickling down her face, hand extended as max was frozen in place.
their chest constricted, “lemme go!”
the other shook their head, “i can’t.”
max fought as hard as they could, willing every inch of their body to move, to change to shift-but still. nothing.
“el-please.” their voice breaking, pleading desperately-was it that everyone they loved destined to hurt them?
their father left, turned to drugs and drinks-mother only a shell of who she once was, billy with his fists and harsh words-and now.
now eleven standing in front of them, lucas’s panicked face matched with dustin as the two boys moved out of view. will next to el, hand on shoulder-maybe encouragement or disappointment max could not tell.
and will, bloody on their feet, steve and nancy with him. jonathan out of view, robin next to max-concern and worry.
“lemme go-el!”
“what happens...?”
“i don’t know!” max yelled, pain rushing through them, “i don’t-just please let go of me-i thought you actually cared about me and wouldn’t try to hurt me the moment i fuck up! please!”
the redhead watched her face falter, felt the sting of wood on their knees, watched eleven move forward-before max turned and ran to the stairs, scaling them two at a time, crawling out of robin’s bedroom window onto the roof and running to the edge, staring at the rocks below.
go, go, go, go. the mantra repeating over and over in their head, urging them to move-goddamnit jump you’ve done it a thousand times.
“MAX STOP-” was robin’s panicked and pleading voice, as max turning-already falling.
“no, no-SHIT. NANCY, STEVE-help. max.... max it’s ok just a secon-.”
dark.

Character Intro: Horme (Kingdom of Ichor)
Nicknames- The Hype by Hedylogos
Cutie by Aphrodite
Age- 16 (immortal)
Location- Little Athens, New Olympus
Personality- He's an excitable young god, constantly in motion and swirling with hyper energetic energy. Even though he can be reckless, brash, immature, & impulsive, there's this lovable innocence and naivete about him. He's single.
He has the standard abilities of a god. Being the god of energy his other powers/abilities include making other people feel energized, enhanced speed (though not to the level of Hermes), altering other people's heartbeat up to 200 bpm, energy absorption, nucleokinesis (nuclear manipulation), thermidakinesis (calorie manipulation), plasma manipulation, force field generation/manipulation, and he can temporarily speed up & slow down time.
Horme lives in a high rise apartment building on the top floor in the Little Athens neighborhood of New Olympus. The walls of his place are covered in colorful graffiti art with everywhere else being a disorganized mess. In his bedroom, the ceilings are covered in sexy & risque posters of Ailuros (goddess of cats & warfare), Philotes (goddess of sex, friendship, & affection), Aphrodite (goddess of love & beauty), Dione, & Pannychis (goddess of nightlife festivities). His fridge is always stocked full of candy, soda, & energy drinks.
He's one of the few youngest gods in the pantheon when it comes to actual age (he's less than a century old).
He starts his day off with a quick cold shower and a big bowl of Omega Lightning Flakes (with marshmallow pieces in the shape of lightning bolts & clouds). Horme jokingly collects the toy prizes inside the cereal boxes.
His go-to drink is an ultra fizzy cherry flavored soda. He also likes beer & energy drinks.
Every week, Horme and his best friend Hedylogos (god of sweet talk & flattery) stop by at Confetti Candy Co., a popular candy store. They once spent almost 3,000 drachmas there! His favorite treat at The Frozen Spoon (so far) is the confection burrito- birthday cake ice cream, vanilla cake frosting, sprinkles, chocolate coated candy pieces, gummy worms, and chocolate chips wrapped in layers of cotton candy.
For extra income, he models for/endorses ViVoTrack & Airopolis.
Epimetheus (Titan god of afterthought) was Horme's official mentor and he admires him greatly. He also thinks that his brother Menoetius (Titan god of rage, violence, & rash actions) is cool.
In the pantheon, Horme is also friends with Thalia (muse of comedy), Notus (god of the south wind), Terpischore (muse of dance), Adranos (god of fire), Urso (god of bears), Polyhymnia (muse of hymns), Iris (goddess of the rainbow), Eupraxia (goddess of well-being & success) Hermes, Komos (god of revelry), Agon (god of sports & contests), Tyche (goddess of luck); also likes spending time with her little brother Caerus (god of opportunity & luck), Keraon, & Ekecheiria (goddess of truce & armistice). Many of the more established gods think he's too immature to hang out with.
In his free time he likes to do all sorts of physical pursuits like cloud surfing, lava surfing, cliff diving, bungee jumping, parkour, breakdancing (takes lessons from Terpsichore), rollerblading, and extreme versions of some sports, like his favorite, skateboarding. Horme wants to petiton to have extreme skateboarding as an official sport as part of the Olympic Tournament. He also likes to play video games, paintball, & laser tag.
He's a virgin & has never been in a relationship. Horme has his first kiss with Aphrodite on the kiss cam during a football (soccer) game. She later told him that he used too much tongue.
He secretly has a crush on Bia (goddess of force & power). Horme has often admired her when she'd be in the stands among spectators during the Olympic Tournament. He hasn't even told Hedylogos.
Horme's favorite food are chili cheese nachos (drizzled in sriracha & tzatziki sauce. He also loves the loaded olympian fries (that comes with melted cheddar cheese, olives, sprinkled feta cheese, & bacon).
"Quiet is too boring!"

Fully Flared, a skate video by Lakai Limited Footwear directed by Spike Jonze, Ty Evans, and Cory Weincheque, was one of the first skateboarding videos to use high-definition cameras. A stand-out part of the film is the cinematic intro, shot in slow motion and features music from electronic music group, M83.

#SLOMO IPHONE HOW TO#
Don't Miss: How to Enable 4K Video Recording on Your iPhoneĪfter you've taken a slo-mo video, launch the Photos app, find the video you want to convert, then tap on it to view it.
But iOS lets you edit where exactly that slow-motion effect appears in your video, so the whole video doesn't have to be 120 or 240 fps-and we can use that editing tool to our advantage to remove slo-mo completely. When you record using the slo-mo camera on your iPhone, it will give the entire video a high frame rate of either 120 or 240 frames per second (fps), depending on your model device and how you have it set up. This only works on an iPhone 5 s or newer, which are capable of recording slo-mo videos. Traditionally, converting slow-motion video required manually speeding the video back up in editing apps such as iMovie, but it turns out that iOS has a secret way to do so without any additional software-it's just not very obvious. in this update, added the link to the iPhone slo-mo video recording guide so you can find more information about the slow motion video capture settings and options.I don't know about you, but when I shoot a slow-mo video on my iPhone, I'd also like to have a regular speed copy of it, just in case slow motion doesn't fit the video right. Update Aug 2022: this article was originally published in Mar 2018 and has since been updated. If you record a regular video and want to add slow motion effect later, you can refer to this guide to change video speed on iPhone using a third-party video editor. Note that, you can only choose to add or remove slow-motion effect when you take a video in slo-mo mode at the first place. This will eliminate the Slow Motion portion of the video. Now drag anyone of the sliders to shrink into other. Between the slow-motion section and the regular-speed sections are two little sliders or bars. The section where the marks are more spaced out is the slow-motion portion of the video.
#SLOMO IPHONE SERIES#
There will be a series of vertical lines or marks below the video. Launch the Photos app on iPhone, find the slow motion video, tap Edit. Luckily iOS has the built-in feature to help us easily remove the slow motion effect and convert them to normal video with regular speed right on iPhone. If you are running out of space on your iPhone, try converting Slow Motion videos to normal video can greatly reduce file size and save space. Have you ever wanted to convert slow motion videos to normal speed or frame rate? Sometimes we may inadvertently activated the slo-mo mode when we meant to capture a regular video or photo. Find out more details from this guide to record slo-mo videos on iPhone. Swipe to right to reveal and enable Slo-Mo mode, then capture the video. to shoot a slow motion video on your iPhone, open the Camera app, you will see the camera modes at the lower section of your iPhone screen.
#SLOMO IPHONE 1080P#
For instance, you can choose to record slo-mo videos in 1080P HD at either 120 fps or 240 fps on an iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus or iPhone X. Jump into the Settings > Camera > Record Slo-mo, you will see the slow motion video recording settings. Nowadays premium smart phones can help us record slo-mo videos without extra equipment or even third-party slo-mo video capture apps.īeing one of the most advanced smartphone, iPhone is quite capable of slow motion video recording. For example, you recorded a video at a rate of 60 frames per second and then play it at normal speed, say 24 frames per second, or play normally recorded footage at a slower speed. Typically when a film is captured at a much faster frame rate than it will be played back, you see the slo-mo effects. They can also be used for capturing sports events, natural phenomena or creating artistic effects. Slow motion videos can usually be seen in action movies.

if your asks are open & my request isn't too much. could you write a secret relationship one shot with mina & a skater fem! reader? so like the bakusquad wants to have a movie night, but like mina declines since girly had a date with her cute skatergirl planned on that day already & like she snitches out to the date & like both of them snitch into minas room later & cuddle & kiss, reader on her lap clinging like a fucking koala on her & how her classmates would find out, react. please my bisexual ass needs more girlxgirl content here, espacially with the mha girls 😔✊
(✨) paring(s) — Ashido x fem!skater!reader
(⚠️) warning(s) — none!
(🔖) word count — 2.3k
(💌) yami's note — yuhh fr tho 🤧 we need more mha girls but dw i gotchu 😌✨
“What? Why?” Kirishima questioned, poking his head out from behind Bakugo, “We’ve been planning this for weeks! You can't just flunk on us like this!!” Kaminari exclaimed, causing Mina to rethink the amount of time that went into tonight's now somewhat ruined plans “Aha~ yeah... sorry about that guys. Maybe another time.” she scratched the back of her head.
Mina was about to leave before being stopped by a hard grip on her wrist “Oi, raccoon eyes. You better have a good excuse for this.” Bakugo glared, his crimson eyes almost seemed as if they could pierce holes in her soul. ‘Why does Bakugo of all people care!?’ She fumbled on her words, trying to find a reasonable excuse that would reward her the get-out-of-jail-free card without spilling the beans on anything private. “Uh- well- I uhm…”
“Bakugo, leave her alone. Forcing yourself into her business isn’t very manly of you.” Kirishima chimed, ‘Right before I was about to get blown to bits! Thanks, Kirishima!’ Mina sighed in her head, before checking the time. 2:54pm. She promised to meet her date at 3pm.
Before anyone knew it, Mina was dashing down to the common room and out the door, almost appearing as a pink blur to everyone around her.
“Wha-what was that??” “I think that was Mina~” “Where is she going that fast!?” “I don't know,,” “Mina’s fast but I didn't think she would be able to pull off those kinds of speeds.” the class-A girls conversed, wondering in concern what's got Mina in such a rush.
“Shit! I'm gonna be late! This isn't even the first time!!” Mina panicked, still racing over to the park the two of you had planned to meet at.
Mina recalled the time she came almost 20 minutes late to a date because she didn't know what to wear, digging through her closet to find something she thought you would like. Dresses, skirts, sweaters, shorts, jeans, you name it, she probably tried it.
To say the least, Mina was nervous.
───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ───
Mina continued to race towards the park she had agreed to meet at. Her pace began to slow as her stamina got closer to reaching its limit. “Hey, Mina!!” she heard a familiar voice call out. “Y/n!! Hi!” huffed out as she came to a stop. Mina took a moment to gather her breath, her hands on her knees as she pants. “Did you seriously run all the way here from your dorm?” y/n questioned after a minute of silence.
“Of course I did! I didn’t want to be late,,, again.”
“You’re a riot.”
“Thanks!”
───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ───
The weather outside was nice and the view the park offered was wonderful. Flowers of all sorts bloomed on the flowerbeds. Mina could see daffodils, tulips, alliums, sunflowers, all of different colours. The clouds created gorgeous patterns in the sky, larger ones blocking out the sun and giving the area a slightly darker atmosphere, nobody seemed to mind though. Trees shaded parts of the park, most of the adults seemed to linger around there, watching the children play together.
Mina and y/n took a seat at one of the benches that was shaded by a tall and broad tree, the smell of nature flowing around it, their hands intertwined. Mina wasn’t the best in some compartments, but one thing she is good at is conversation. It's hard to find a dull moment with her, maybe that’s why people like being around her so much. y/n definitely wasn’t at her level when it came to social skills but the conversations between them flowed so effortlessly, the two of them just seemed to click in the best way possible. Two puzzle pieces that were meant to be together, created to be together.
“Hey! Mina, look!!” y/n pointed to an ice cream parlor across the park, a small line of children with their parent’s 5 dollar bills in their hands “Let’s get popsicles!”
“Sure! Last one there has to pay!!” Mina ran off towards the parler.
“Hey-! No fair!!” y/n ran after her, taking an extra moment to pick up her skateboard, the thought of riding it to pass Mina not crossing her mind. Mina was a fast runner, most of the men in her class not able to compete without their quirks, same thing goes for y/n. It was possible her skateboard wouldn’t even be able to put up a rewarding fight.
Mina waited by the parler, almost mockingly stretching her arms as she waited for her date to catch up. “Took you long enough~!” Mina giggled
“Yeah yeah, whatever,” y/n got out a $15 bill from her pocket before immediately having it taken from her hands. “I was joking! Let me pay instead!” Mina pleaded “I wanna make it up to you for coming late,”
“Babes, you were a minute late..”
“I made you wait an extra minute!! And what about all those other times I-” Mina was cut off by the Parler man clearing his throat to get their attention. She shoved her money onto the counter before ordering y/n’s favourite flavor and a strawberry popsicle for herself. The Parler man took the money before opening his parler and handing them the requested flavoured popsicles.
“Thanks, sir!” Mina chirps before taking y/n’s hand, bringing her back to the bench the two of them were sitting at before. The two of them unwrapped their cold treats, enjoying and sharing them with each other.
Conversation continued to flow between the two, time quickly passing by. Parents began taking their children home, young adults began walking home from their jobs, the city seemed alive.
Wind blew on the three branches of the park, a chill starting to coat the air.
“It’s probably gonna get cold soon, maybe we should get inside.” y/n proposed
“Yeah... Hey! You should come to the dorms!” Mina was quick to suggest, she’s always wanted to bring y/n to her room. The idea of having y/n close to her body, sharing snacks and watching funny videos on instagram always brought warmth to her heart. The idea of getting caught never really crossed her mind.
“Are you sure? Your classmates are definitely gonna find out.”
“No they won’t, I promise!”
“Mina, they’re heroes-in-training…”
───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ───
When mina was set on a decision, it was hard to get her to settle for something else, that’s something y/n’s learned many times. Mina dragged her partner to the UA dorm buildings, planning out loud what they could do together. Face masks, tiktoks, nails, and dancing are only a few of the activities that came into question.
“I like the sound of face masks, I've been needing one for a while, my acne’s been acting up.” y/n groaned. “Dancing also sounds pretty fun, do you have any new playlists?”
“I always have new playlists! Plus, Jirou recommended me some new songs the other day, her music taste actually isn’t that bad,” Mina giggled, “For a goth, that is.” y/n laughed at her comment.
Mina talked about her classmates often, sometimes even gossiping about them. She never said anything hurtful, though, it was usually just a few mentions after finding something that reminded her of them. She once found a icyhot packet in the store and went on about this hot and talented guy in her class, a frog jumping around near a pond caused her to ramble on about her friend Tsu, and the taste of a tea served to her at a cafe reminded her of the tea her friend Momo would serve at the tutor sessions she hosted.
Soon enough, the couple was standing in front of Heights Alliance, preparing a plan to get inside without being noticed. “Everyone’s usually elsewhere at this time, probably in their rooms or off training or something~” Mina opens the door to the building, “We should be good.”
Mina peeps her head inside, making sure no one was in the common room before she proceeded. She motioned for y/n to come inside, before walking further inside the building. “C’mon, my room is this way!” Mina took y/n’s hand, passing by the common room and to the elevator. y/n couldn’t help but look around, she had never been in the Dormitories until this point, it was much nicer, and bigger, than she expected. The elevator ride was quiet, the fear of having classmates hear them while they continued their loud conversation through the halls on their minds.
The elevator stopped at the selected floor, Mina took y/n’s hand again before leading her to their destination just around the corner. “Here is it! Come on in!” Mina smiled before unlocking and opening her room door.
“Oh wow, so… pink.” y/n gasped “Yeah!! Do you like it?”
“Of course I do! Your whole room just reminds me of you, I love it!” y/n wrapped her hands around her date “And I love you too!”
“I love you more!!” Mina giggled, returning the hug. Her embrace was warm, warmer than one might expect, that might be the result of such a pure heart.
“Whatcha wanna do? I have a bunch of stuff here,” Mina pulls out a box from under her bed and begins to dig through it, “I have face masks and beauty supplies here, snacks and candy hidden around my room, we could also watch some movies or find a show to binge!”
“Face masks are a good idea, and I’m down to watch a movie while we wait for them to dry.” y/n gets down beside her on the ground, watching her sift through her box of stuff.
“Awesome! What movie should we watch? I have a bunch of DVD’s on my shelf but we could always find something on Netflix. Oh and pick your favourite face mask!” Mina presented about 12 different face masks for y/n to choose from.
“Oh~ I like that one! It’s my favourite colour, and it has a nice scent.” y/n picked up the f/c bottle, reading the labels on the back and admiring the smell emitting from it. “Nice choice! I’ll go with this one!” Mina holds up a pink, sparkly bottle with grapefruits and strawberries on the front. “This one’s my favourite, I use it all the time!”
“I can see why,” y/n laughs, Mina joining in.
───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ───
The two of them sat comfortably on Mina’s bed, y/n on her lap and arms wrapped around her. A movie the couple had agreed on plays in front of them on Mina’s laptop as they wait for their face masks to dry, sharing candy she had hid around her room. Mina occasionally placed soft kisses on y/n’s cheeks, jaw and neck, it was her favourite thing to do in this position. While Mina enjoyed receiving affection, she seemed to love giving affection even more.
Soon enough, the movie ended and credits began to roll, giving y/n and Mina a moment to stretch after sitting in one position for over an hour. “That was a good movie.” y/n said between stretches. “Yeah, I’m gonna recommend it to Hagakure, she’s been looking for good movies to watch lately.” Mina got out her phone to check the time, “We still have a few hours, wanna watch another one while we wait for our nails to dry?”
“We’re gonna do nails too?”
“Yeah!”
“Sure.”
Uhm i’m not sure how to continue and end this so i’ll do HCs for this part LMAOO
I gotta get better at writing smh
Anyways, after Mina took you to her dorm for the first time you started coming over more often
The two of you always have a shitton of fun when you do
Not like you ever not have fun with Mina
Although this one time was different~
Your skateboard had dirt and mud on it from riding after a storm, so you had left it by the door to avoid tracking any of it in Mina’s room
But it so happened Denki was walking by and found it in the hallway floor
And seeing it was outside Mina’s door he decided to not knock and ask if it was hers
He caught yall cuddling while binging your favourite anime
“Yo, Mina, is this skateboard you-”
He went 👁️👄👁️
After an eternity a few seconds of pure silence Denki’s like BHJNBHJVHJ WHO’S THAT???? AND WHY ARE YOU SO CLOSE TO THEM-??/?????
Mina sighs and explains the whole thing about how yall have been dating in secret and going on dates and stuff
The look on the boy’s face was literally surprised pikachu
Mina asked him to keep a secret but c'mon now we all know Mr. Kaminari cannot keep a secret for the life of him👩🏾🦯 big mouth headass
He told everyone.
the look on Mina’s face when Sero brought up her secret girlfriend the next day was priceless
“H-hOW YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT!?”
“Denki told me.”
Denki: *choke*
He knows he’s ‘bouta get his ass beat.
As for reactions, they’re mainly looking pretty positive ✨
Denki, kirishima, bakugou and sero are the first people to find out, and probably one of the only people Mina talks about you to besides the other class a girls
They’re happy for her (although bakuhoe wouldn’t admit it- he pretends he don’t care but c'mon we know better than that), and definitely wanna meet you sometime soon
All the class A girls and basically screaming
Cuz like- wHAT
How could Mina keep such a big secret grrrrr >:((
She ends up bringing you and the rest of the girls to her room to meet you
Expect expect like 30 questions from each of them about various different topics that may or may not matter
Remember the boys who didn't care about seeing the girl’s rooms in that one episode? Yea this squad is still on their shit🧘🏾♀️
Okay well they do care, just not as much dnjskbjdkn
Sato would bake you a yummy cupcake!
You ain’t neva eating something that delicious ever again just sayin~
Everyone else would silently wish to meet you one day
Tenya is probably the only person you should look out for
if you don’t have Aizawa’s permission to be on campus he probably won’t let you inside🖐🏾
aizawa don’t care tho so getting permission isn’t a problem
Overall, 1-A’s reaction to Mina’s girlfriend is pretty positive! 😗✌🏾

Scottrospective: Scott Pilgrim Vs the Universe or So Sad So Very Very Sad
Hello all you happy Scottaholics! And welcome back to Scottrospective, my 8 part look at Scott Pilgrim: all 6 volumes of the comic as well as the game and movie just in time for their respective 10th Anniversaries. If your just joining us or needa quick refresher, here are links to the other four parts, in order: Precious Little Life, Vs The World (Comic), Infinite Sadness, and last month’s look at my favorite volume Gets It Together. And if that’s not enough to fill your belly with Scotty Goodness, hop over to my patreon, patreon.com/popculturebuffet.
There you’ll find reviews of all the content I didn’t have time for in the retrospective proper: Free Scott Pilgrim, The Wonderful World of Kim Pine, Monica Beetle, Style, and the bonus comic strips. It’s only a dollar to get access to the bonus reviews, and every bit you can give not only helps me make these reviews int he first place, but gets me closer to my stretch goals, the 25 and 30 dollar ones including looks at O’Malley’s Other Works: Lost At Sea and Seconds for the former and Snotgirl for the latter.
But more than plugging my past and paid works, there’s something else far more important I need to get to before I get into this one: Thank You. No Seriously thank all of you who have been reading these, liking them. My Precious Little Life Review is easily one of the most liked things i’ve ever had on this blog, getting more viewers every day, and last month’s look at Gets it Together is STILL racking up likes. Given most of my non-duck reviews, paid for and on my own time, tend to be ignored half the time, this just warms my heart. It shows me two great things: that even after a decade Scott Pilgrim still has a huge following and given how young this platform tends to skew that it’s gaining more fans every day, and that people care about what I have to say about htis wonderful comic. It really touches me to both know my voice matters and that something I truly loved as a teen and still do now is STILL picking up more and more fans. What i’m saying is you guys are the best and I wouldn’t be doing these reviews without your support of my very hard work. These are some of the hardest reviews i’ve done at times, but seeing you all enjoy them makes it all worth it.
As for the Volume itself there’s something I just gotta get off my chest right away: I HATED this volume when it came out. To understand why you have to consider my mental state: I was a teenager at the time, in my junior year of high school. Scott Pilgrim was my goddamn world: while I was picking up comics monthly at the time this was honestly the first north american comic I loved and obessed over and Scott and friends were like family to me. To an awkward teen who couldn’t talk to girls, struggled to keep the video game club a friend founded together in a way that in hindsight was wholly unecessary, and getting messed with due to my anger issues by friend, foe and frenemy alike, Scott was my port in the storm. A sunny version of Tornoto where I could retreat to to feel at peace.
So yeah this shattered the fuck out of that peace and was essentially one long slow motion kick to the balls to a younger me: Hollie gets derailed and horribly betrays Kim, runing my faviorite characters life and leading to her LEAVING, Scott and Ramona’s relationship crumbles, the band breaks up , and the volume ends with Gideon still gunning for our hero because life hadn’t punched him in the face enough for one month. I was livid, not stopping the series, obviously, but upset that everything i’d grown to care about was basically gone in a flash and couldn’t understand WHY O’Malley would fucking do this to me. This volume was also what kept me from re-reading the books for as long as I did as while the rest had fond memories all the ones I had of this one were pure misery.
But by the time i re-read it in december of last year I had two important things in my hands that helped me truly enjoy this one: The first was Volume 6 itself: knowing things would work out, that most of the bad stuff would be undone and in a truly awesome and satisfying way helped.
The other thing was the perspective that came with growing older: For one as an adult while I still like Scott as a character and find him intresting I no longer look up to him, nor put stock in his hapiness for his own. Sure I still care about characters and relate to some, but Bojack Horseman taught me the hard way you CAN’T put all your hopes in a character’s fate or them getting better for you to get better.
The other is that while this volume again is pretty bleak after a while.. it’s also NECESSARY. Part of the series charm is i’ts realisim and a sad part of real life is people can drift apart from you, and things can change seemingly all at once. And things moving the way they do is necessary for the ending: every step and move here puts things where they need to be for the final chapter. The pain our heroes go through is necessary so they can all grow.. except Stephen and Wallace. Stephen sucks and Wallace dosen’t need to change. He does need his own spinoff. But for Scott, Ramona and Kim the trials to come are necessary to make them into their best selves by series end.
So join me under the cut as we get sad so very very sad, this is Scott Pilgrim vs the Universe.
Precious Little Life:
We open with Scott’s Birthday! Hit it MC Chris!
youtube
But yes it’s septmeber and Scott is now 24 years old. Also Julie is there because presumibly Stephen dredged her out of her swamp for the evening despite Julie likely not wanting to be there and Scott sure a shell not wanting her there.
He vows that he will be the best 24 year old ever...... yeah let’s take a brief look into the future to see how that pans out
But we have a full volume and more metaphorical rakes to whack Scott in the face before that paticular one.
A MONTH AND A FEW DAYS LATER
It’s the day of the dead, whoa ho way down in Tornoto. It’s hosted by Satan Herself, who dosen’t realize the holiday for hags was yesterday. This is for remembering the dead and rising out of the grave to go resuce your young wards by ramming a bunch of guys in butterfly costumes with your car or stealing your children’s kidneys.
This is Rat Girl’s new place, a fancy loft she and 3 other girls went on to throw the best parties beaause of course. She’s also a bitch to our hero and heroine because of course.
But Scott soon has more important things to worry about: Ramona spots his next two opponents.. the twins hinted at last time, Kyle and Ken Kataynagi, Perfect Jerk and Handsome Asshat respectively.
Kyle and Ken are easily the least intresting of the 7 exes. With the other 4 so far having been a loveable ham, a stoic movie star whose suprisingly nice and dies via skateboard, a gloriously douchey and dumb psychic evil version of our much more loverable dumb douche with personal connections to both him and Ramona, and Roxy who was genuinely sympathetic, held back by her own selfishness and anger.. we get.. two smug assholes who use robots. Their not UNINTRESTING, the robots have cool designs and the fight with them is genuinely exciting.. but they just don’t have the charisma or personal factor. Their jsut two assholes ramona dated at the same time who happen to know more about her well guarded past than the other exes and are more liable to bring it up.. and even then it’s not anything new as Envy pulled similar tactics far more intrestingly in volume 3. THey don’t ruin the volume or anything, thier fine, but I just wish O’Malley had done more. Especially since he clealry had more intresting ideas with them: the sound battle we saw in the movie was an early draft of this and one early draft had Scott’s previously unseen brother Laurence working with them. I don’t knowWHY he scrapped that as it raises the stakes and makes this far more personal for Scott. Which at this point is what the exes SHOULD be: Todd and Roxy BOTH were more personal threats, Todd being his ex’s boyfriend and first love and Roxy being a genuine competior for Ramona. These guys again are just two douchers who show up because we need 7 douchers to complete the doucher circle.
So the twins declare their not going to fight scott.. and instead send a tiny robot to fight him. Awww. But for this fight O”Malley does something really intresting and creative.. he dosen’t focus on it. No really Ken and Kyle are dicks to Ramona so Kim wisely gets her out of there, and the two have a casual talk on the balcony while Ramona smokes. It’s some fun banter between the two that both shows why their shipped to all hell. The two just play off each other really damn well. Though we also get Craphole asking people if they want to come watch Scott get beat up because the worst.
Something important character stuff comes up though: As was shown last time at her rightful rage that Stephen HAD an opportunity to book a gig and kept refusing it for his fecking album, Kim is still fairly salty about the whole recording an album bullshit. The biggest part of it..
It’s something you really DON’T expect to here coming out of kim: that she really LIKED the band. But beneath the pillar of salt she puts out daily... these were her friends, this was getting to do something creative and passionate, and it was a break from the daily grind. Even if her job isn’t TERRIBLE, getting to watch movies and hang out with her best friend Clerks style.. it’s still a retail job and those still weigh on you.. though frankly i’d take one of those over food service but sadly tha’ts what i get most of the time. This was fun.. and Stephen ripped that away from her for his own selfish reasons. No one else in the band really cared about making an album.. if Stephen REALLY wanted to find a more professional band.. then he should’ve just told them so Scott and Kim could find someone else to do guitars for them. Instead he forced them into doing something they don’t want to do and refuses to actually play shows, which COULD help both perfect songs for the album version and get them new fans for said upcoming album and provide them recurring venues to SELL said album, because he really just wants to be with Joseph and fuck anyone else. Stephen is really just an inhernetly selfish git and i’ll get more into that in a bit. But first Wallace has a text for Scott.
Now I COULD have just skipped over this.. but I didn’t want to. Plus we dont’ se Wallace for a while in this story so i’m taking what I can get.
So back to Stephen being a repugnant ass. I’ve been waiting for this scene for the entire retrospective. I”ve hinted at it, and largely blamed it for why I hate him so damn much. The time is nigh to explain WHY.
Stephen is with Knives, as the two are close friends and such. Stephen expalins Sex Bomb-Omb isn’t playing because he and the personfication of bitchiness broke up. Which knives points out is for...
But it’s clear from context this was the LAST time. Why he still got invited I dunno, plot convience. So far so normal.. until Stephen picks up that Knives is STILL hung up on Scott. Which is understandable crushes can last a while but i’ts equally understandable that Stephen is utterly baffled by it. Which I get, I didn’t make an entire tom lucitor retropsecitve because I liked that his relationship with Star ended with him stepping aside due to what the show thought was “true wuv” but what comes off instead as his self loathing casuing him to blame himself for a realtionship that’s crumbling for reasons that aren’t his fault.
And his actions here are incredibly well meant: He bluntly gives Knives the wake up call she DOES need: Scott cheated on her, he dated her because she was easy to date, strung her along for a bit while seeing someone else, then dumped her with not one care for her well being. That is stuff she NEEDS to get into her head so she can move on. She needs to see him for what he IS and not for what she’s built him up as in her head. And while yeah his rant DOSNE’T take into account the fact Scott geninely tried to make up for his actions in volume 3, Stephen wasn’t there for that and Knives probbably didn’t tell him about it.
So from his point of view scott broke her heart and did nothing.. and evne IF he knew that, Scott still hasn’t tried to do anything since despite Knives still being obessed with him nor come clean to her or Ramona at any point. Scott deserves this call out and the consequences that come with it.
So your probably wondering WHY I hate Stephen because of this scene when he’s you know, RIGHT. Well it’s simple: being right dosen’t save you from being a MASSIVE hypcorite. He’s railing on Scott for cheating and hurting someone.. when he cheated on Julie and would’ve hurt her if she had the capacity for human emotion, empathy, or self awarness. The ending of the last volume and how bad, even for them, their relationship was implied the hell out of it, with him nervous when she brings up being paranoid over knives.. as if he WAS cheating. on One Face just not with a teenage girl but a grown ass man who hates everyone as much as BLARARARGAGAG does.
Not only that.. but he was with Julie for the SAME DAMN reasons Scott was with Knives: it was easy. Now I WILL grant Stephen some sympathy: he’s a queer man and as one myself, bi for the record, I GET how fucking hard it is to come to terms with that, that what you thought you were isn’t ENITRELY true or, if Stephen is gay and not bi or pan, ENIRELY FALSE. So I do have some care that it was hard for him to sort all this out. I do and that Jospeh could’ve seduced him or what not. We don’t have all the context here. But he STILL cheated at the end of the day instead of telling her he was queer until MONTHS later. And why yes the fact I have to feel bad for JULIE does make it that much worse. And yes their relationsihp COULD simply be that toxic or she could’ve gaslit him, but it seemed more like their relationship was messy breakups and getting back together over and over. While Julie IS vile, she’s not a domestic abuser mental or physical as far as I can tell. She’s a bitch and their relatioship is unehlathy but there was no indication their relationship involved gaslighting or evne phsyical violence: it was just fucked from minute one. So yeah he stayed in an awful relationship beacuse it was easier than coming out, when he should’ve broken it off as soon as it was clear he and Joseph were actually going somewhere. Waiting while he figured out who he was is one thing, tha’ts fiar, but cheating on someone just because you don’t have the nerve to break it off with them when their genuinely awful to you and your only hurting them as much as they can be hurt by dragging this out... yeah that just makes you an ass.
Another point of contention is that he NEVER called Scott out on this. Never. Not even after this scene. Never encouraged him to tell Ramona or apologize to Knives, again he didn’t know Scott already had tried that. Never gets on him.. he just ignores Scott’s shitty behavior like eveyrone else and unlike Kim, whose still got unresolved feelings and is at the very least clearly bothered by his shitty behavior, and Neil, whose young and thus like me likely looked up to Scott at the time, he dosen’t have an excuse other than “Well I don’t want to ruin our friendship by actually calling him out when he does something objectivionally awful.” Especially since Wallace DID actually take action: he didn’t break up the relationship or say anythign to Ramona, which is wrong... but he did tell scott flat out after his first date with Ramona to break up with Knives. And when Scott chickned out of that, Wallace gave him the ultimatium, may it live in empathy, to do so or he WOULD tell Ramona. And at least Wallace has a motive for not telling Ramona other than “I don’t want to risk my friendship with a guy I really don’t care about and think is shitty”. He wanted to see Scott recover from Envy, something Stephen never gave ONE. SHIT. ABOUT. He saw Ramona was good for him and knew telling her, while the RIGHT thing to do, would severely harm Scott, and by volume 4 leave him homeless. Plus Wallace frankly enabled him for some time anyway, letting him live at their place rent free and paying for all his food and frequently letting Scott steal his credit card. WIth Wallace at least while it’s not the RIGHT move, it’s understandable and complicated vs Stephen who really dosen’t seem to like or get along with Scott after volume 1, suddenly cares what happens to his relationship.
And what proves this... is this little exchange that ends the conversation.
Knives despite her issues, despite blinding herself to how Scott treated her, despite everything... thinks Ramona should know. And she’s right. And Stephen KNOWS THIS. He knows it was the right thing to do and just.. takes a swig instead of admitting he’s a fucking hypocrite or explaining himself in any way.
He NEVER cared about Ramona’s feelings or how this would effect her or saw her as important in any way shape or form. Kim at least clearly feels guilty. Wallace clearly is only doing so because it’s better for both her and Scott that their together and is a flawed human being. Stephen.. just dosen’t do so out of some masculine bullshit code of not ratting out your friend and his own cowardace. He clearly COULD go walk up to Ramona right now and tell her, but he won’t. And again I don’t buy he honeslty cares enough about Scott for their friendship to TRULY be enough of a factor to stop that. Fuck. Stephen. Stills.
So Scott wins naturally, but is bummed there’s no reward.. but Stephen points out there’s tons of free food over yonder so he noms before he and Ramona leave.
We get some cute domestic bits with Scott and ramona: Scott playing games on her phone all day, the two cooking dinner, and Scott admititng he hasn’t thought of envy at all. “I have you now”. Though through it there are some signs of unease: Scott finds a letter to Gideon, and Ramona asks about her hair and stares out into the window. Nice little hints that even before the big bomb abotu to drop she’s not at ease.. she loves Scott.. but it’s hard for her to let herself BE happy. It’s easy to wager she wasn’t for most of her life.
Can’t Face Up
So next we find Sex Bomb-Omb working on the album. Or rather Stephen and Joseph are. Scott and Kim are praying for death but death won’t come and Kim wonders why the fuck this isn’t finished. Joseph wants her out of his house... forgetting that Kim lives in said house.
Still his expressoin implies he’s going to do a murder on her if she stays in the room and since Drummers are hard to come by Stephen spirits them to kim’s room for a band meeting. Turns out they do have a gig but naturally Rosemary’s Baby booked it... and they haven’t practiced in months because Stephen’s a moron. He theorizes it’s Freddy’s Revenge, which is admitely probably valid though Kim can TELL something worse happened Stephen won’t cop to because he’s a piece of shit. I spent several paragraph’s establishing that. They try blaying and two sucktacular minutes i’ts clear their fucked sunday.
So after a scene of Knives trying HARD to justify Scott’s actions and blame htem on Ramona, to no success, we get one of my faviorite parts of this book: Scott rambling on for god knows how long about the x-men while Ramona gets dressed and is presumibly barely listneing.
I relate so hard to this it hurts. While not this era I wll GLADLY go on and on about X-Men and anything X-Adjacent at any goddamn opportunity and anyone who reads my blog on a regular basis and you know this. I need to tlak more x-men outside of my slowly failing New X-Men retrospective (Which is on the back burner because no one seeems to genuinely care after chapter one). If I did have a signifgant other, they would probably end up in a situation like this quite a lot and i’d have no shame about it.
I also love this scene even more as while I DID love x-men at the time, I wasn’t quite the mega fan I was, nor as familiar with Claremont’s long, epic and often fucking weird in the special wonderful way only comics can run. Given I OWN over half his run at this point, that has changed. Though oddly not this part. So not only do I get Scott’s talking about x-men I Know what SPECIFICALLY.
And for the unitatied, a quick explination of what the fuck Scott’s going on and on about: In the late 80′s, the x-men fought a reality warping malevolent trickster god named the Adversary. IN order to beat him their friend forget had to perform a cermony to lock his ass away that required willingly given life forces. The X-Men did REALLY fucking die.. but the Goddess Roma, daughter of Merlin and enemy of the advesary brought them back to life. With their deaths having been broadcast on live tv, and with tons of dangerous enemies at their heels, the X-Men choose to let the world continue to think they were dead so they could hit said enemies where it hurt.
SO this is where Scott’s story comes in:The X-Men’s first mission was clearing out the reavers, a bunch of racist cyborgs, from a ghost town which they took over as their base. As Scotty said they traveled all over the world, fought aliens, more racists, and then went to New York as it literally went ot hell. it’s a LOT and I haven’t read most of that era. I just know about it. I have read that last part though: the x-men were ambushed while wolveirne was away by said racist cyborgs so Psylocke shoved them through the siege perilous, a gate thingy romana gave them that would give them a new life and amnesia and such, leaving wolveirne to get crucified till Jubilee, who’d been hiding in their base gary busey style, freed him. The two would travel the world, find psylocke body swapped which is why she was asian for several decades, and get into general stuff for a few years real time till the X-Men slowly reunited. And you probbaly dind’t need to hear all of that but your life is better for knowing it.
As you can tell Ramona’s discontent is mounting. And probably not because of Scott rambling about x-men. Last night he told her about the time Magneto beat them all because they stupidly rushed him one at a time then forced them into high tech chairs while a robotic nanny babbied them and then esecaped because shut up before fighting magneto, getting surrounded by lava and having beast ASSUME they were dead because fuck actually coming back and searching just in case like a rational human being because magma or no the x-men have surivived worse, including the depths of space, and restoring all of reality from scratch. I may of just read those issues tonight.
She procedes to make things worse for our hero as when he asks fo rher advice.. she reveals she dosen’t like his band.. and while she means nothing BY that, she’s nice about it, telling him his band sucks days before a sudden show where you guys eat a lot isn’t something you do. Wallace is naturally even less helpful and maybe his not liking the band is why we barely see him interact. Maybe he just figured Stepheen was on the fence sexuality wise but wasn’t willing to put up with Julie to test that. I dunno.
So at the restraunt Stephen’s a dick, refusing to help Scott with his problems. WHich for once are legitamte as he worries abotu Ramona keeping secrets. He just wants to talk about hte band.. but 48 or something hours after this he has no real plan.
Scott mopes to Kim about Ramona and she has some sage advice for him...
Also thing one and thing two are at the bar with a remote. This cannot end well... granted givne our heroes are not at all prepared and are playing two diffrent songs, this was never going to end well.
And things only get worse for Scott in the bathroom.. he’s not there.. but his girlfriend and his ex are. Knives tries to work it out.. but Ramona being a bit short with her, which is fair given Knives tried to stab her a bunch a few months back and never apologized, leading to a quick fight.. but with Knives heart not in it this time and Ramona pissed and this time NOT confsued as to what the hell ihs going on, it ends with Ramona slamming knives into a wall... and Knives sadly revealing the truth to Ramona...
The scene hits like a truck with both devistated.. Ramona not having realized Scott with this shitty.. and Knives FINALLY accepting that he is. Finally letting her obession with him drop and realize what he was and what he did and let the full impact hit. The last part also hits hard “No One Else Would’ve Told You’.
It’s a sad hard truth and it’s CLEARLY something that hits both women hard.
For Knives it’s realizing Kim and Stephen, who she’s increidbly close to at this point, both don’t have the stomach to do the right thing, and thus hid this from her and Ramona. Stephen DID tell her.. but he still didn’t have the guts to tell RAMONA nor the actual care. It’s the realization the people she looked up to truly let her down and that she had to do what they couldn’t, even if it tore her apart to do it. For Ramona it’s realizing her closest friends outside of Scott could’ve told her and never did. No matter how close she’s gotten to Kim and Wallace, neither gave a fuck about her rights or her need to know.
So Ramona is rattled and barely speaks while Scott has been fighting anothe rrobot and ends the gig accidnetly smashing his bass. Stephen is pissy with him and blames hi mfor runing the gig, which turned out to be a trap anyway complete with fliers.
Ramona decides to gently throw him out as he forgot his keys while his other friends won’t house him leaving him with the one friend he has who dosen’t hate him right now. WALLACE!
The Glow:
So at Casa De Welles, Wallace has some buddy time, not making any bones about the fact Ramona clearly threw Scott out for the night and wearing a neat robe. Scott mopes about the fact he hasn’t met mobile whose apparenlty on the astral plane. I wonder if he has any buisness with Emma.. I mean the x-men did live in san fran sicsio but given decimation didn’t have many psychics. Might’ve been tryign to get another one. THey didn’t have a whole island that walks like a man yet.
And while Wallace wasn’t in much of a coaching mood last time he is willing to help. He couldn’t get bupkiss on the twins since Scott can’t even remember their names, but he did pull off a miracle. Despite their being a million Gideons in New York.. Wallace found THE Gideon. Granted all he got was his full name, Gideon Gordon Graves, and a few burry photos, one with Ramona confirming this is our douche, but given he had only a first name and an ex to work with this is some damn fine work. Wallace asks scott about his future with Ramona but he just.. has no earthly idea because of course he dosen’t. He hasn’t REALLY thought about what comes after beating the exes because he never thinks anything through. Interesting stuff
The next day Scott meets up with Kim at No Account Video and we get our first, and I mean literally first, indiciation things are falling apart with her and Hollie. Scott wants to say hi, Kim refuses him and gives a smart ass comment when he asks if them being roomates isn’t working out. He wasn’t even being a dick it’s just clear SOMETHING bad’s going on she won’t talk about because she puts up walls around hrself on a GOOD day and this clearly isn’t one.
It gets worse when they stop by Stephen’s place only to find Neil whose both taken up a combination of smoking and moping in a dark room. Never a good sign. Nor is Stephen apparenlty being at band practice.. meaning either he lied to Neil about where he went.. or he already started the band we’ll see him with next volume and is already stabbing his friends in the back. There wasn’t much to like about the guy to BEGIN with, but his behavior just gets worse with every volume and it’s reached it’s apex here. The speech was shitty enough, I spent several paragraphs explaning why, but the rest of his behavior isn’t much better. He abandoned two people who were, for god knows what reason loyal to him and abandoned the band because of some bearded asshole probably encouraging him to.
We also get some telling behavior on Kim’s part. Whlie she’s usually morose around Scott in the face of this both just hang out, it’s plesant. She even smiles when she asks if it’s going to be a regular occurance when he stays with her that night. Granted she brings back her frown soon after, but as has been clear her feelings for him never really went away entirely, and this is the closest the two have been in volumes, just enjoying each others company. It’s also telling that Scott trusts kim with a favor.
We see the favor the next page: Kim hangs out with Ramona.. and Scott marchs in completely on purpose soon after. Granted Kim probably didn’t know THIS was part of the plan, and it’s mildly stupid.. but it DOES show progress for Scott. Keep in mind his usual tactic is “avoid the fuck out of it and hope it goes away’ So ACTUALLY wanting to talk about things and find her again, and not doing it in a creepy way but simply drawing her out with a friend, shows SOME maturlity. It’s still not the most mature.. but with Ramona clearly not wanting him at their place, her work not having a set location as she just picks stuff up and drops it off (And even if she’s picking up packages at the post office we don’t know which one or if there’s multiple and even if we did scott sure as hel l does not), he was out of options. It also WORKS, with Ramona breaking her mopeynesss to laugh and Kim stunned it didn’t just piss her off further.
So we find out what happened with Hollie when Scott brings up jason. She points out they were dating but... welllllllll
Yeah... as you could probably tell I do not like this plot point at all. For one thing we never really got to KNOW Jason, and with him and Hollie getting a little too cozy at the end of the last volume...
It’s clear his ONLY roll in the story was to be there so Hollie could betray Kim in some way. And look I get a LOT in this series happens while we’re not looking, ti’s part of it’s charm. Things not pausing for the side cast is a trope I enjoy: it allows some things to progress faster and allows for some intresting stories when the main cast catches up. Steven Unvierse and Ducktales both used this well as does Scott Pilgrim but all three weren’t immune to someitnes goofing up and taking it too far.
This whole situation is that: Hollie is a character I got attached to: She had a great report with kim, they were really close and she offered her a place to stay when it was clear she was miserable with the four horseman of the bitchpocalypse she lived with. So while having her suddenly heel turn is realistic... it just feels thorughly unsatisfying. We do not see Hollie again after she’s sudeenly derailed, so we never get to see what she’s apparenlty REALLY like or get any explination why this happened. Suddenly Kim’s best friend is a douchebag even though it makes no sense for her character. Just because in real life people can turn out to be really shitty on a dime dosen’t mean it’s a neat thing to READ in a story and it feels like a waste of what was one of the series best side characters. And granted i’ve been through FAR worse treatment of side characters, trust me but this one still blows to this day and if there is a netflix adaptation this either needs to not happen or have actual depth. Seriously Netflix your adapting everything else, get on the bus already.
Scott is GENUINELY apologetic, we’ve rarely seen him this nice but he genuinely feels bad for her.. and unlike Stephen’s thing it’s okay to feel shitty someone got cheated on even if you were a cheater in the past. As I said Stephen wasn’t wrong about how Scott treeted knives.. he just also was trying to take moral high ground which Knives proved he absolutely did not have in seconds.
This triggers Ramona’s glow, the squggly line thing that shows up over her head ocasoinally.. and while Ramona grills Scott... Kim just finally asks what the hells up with her head. Scott’s reaction is “OH good you guys see it too”. Kim does try to show it to ramona but it’s gone by then and she drops it for now and outside encourages her to come to Julie’s latest shitty party.. I mean their miserable but at least it gives thems omething to do
So we get another instalment of “Scott rambles about the X-Men” or New Mutants in this case as we’re talking about Magik, Aka Illyana Rasputin
So for the long version: The X-Men were staying at a creepy temple that Magneto had been working out of beause the mansion was being repaired. Colossus, everyone’s favorite Russian and Deadpool co-star, had his kid sister Illyana with him as Arcade, a ginger maniac assasian whose gimmick is creating elaborate murder theme parks, kidnapped her in a plot to get the x-men to fight Dr. Doom for him. Given this was during the Cold War they coudln’t exactly take her back, so she stayed with the X-Men and her beloved big brother.
So naturlaly the spooky temple decorated in Cthulu’s had a portal to hell in it and an evil and genirc looking fucker named Belasco kidnapped her to a hell dimension known as Limbo> the X-Men went after her as you’d expect and things got WEIRD as due to some complicated and weird time dialition stuff I sitll don’t quite understand there ended up being two copies of the x-men: ours who came in right after, and a second batch who stayed there for about 7-8 years and got warped by Bellsaco’s magic as he killed or changed most of them. As a result Storm became a sorcerer to fight back, Kitty Pryde became some sort of cat creature and Kurt became a creepy evil version of himself. Illyana stayed htere, learned magics from both storm and asshole, learned to fight from cat kitty, and eventually escaped after a lot of horrible bullshit, hardnered and with her soul scarred from it, now a teenager. She joined the New Mutants, the training class of x-men in the comics, soon after. She’s a member agian in present day, one of the great captains of Krakoa, and one of the two co-leaders of Krakoa’s younger mutants, i.e. 20 something to teens and kids.
This is the best of the two scenes as the narrative , or at least Scott’s versions parallels Ramona’s own; Getting taken in by an evil man and feeling tainted by that.
So at the party Ramona runs into Neil whose a dick about it and with some girl. She WAS going to be fleshed out more in the original draft but Brian ended up scrapping it for time, but does regret it. It’s here we get Neil’s face punchingly dickish comment that’s also a massive hint as to Stephen’s sexuality.
Yeah even if Stephen’s been an UTTERLY shitty friend to him.. this was uncalled for even for the late 2000′s. What a prick. I do like the arc of Neil slowly falling apart though getting more and more bitter as his old friends abandoned him casually, especailly Stephen. While his comment was still HORRIBLY unwarranted even with Stephen being a dipshit.
Speaking of assholes we get our last major with Julie who berates Scott for grabbing some booze and brings in the twist. I’m.. i’m not even bothering to give her an insluting and weird nickname. She’s still a HORRIBLE piece of shit, as she brought Scott’s enemies there to try and beat him to death for her own amusment and berated him for getting booze at a party she CLEARLY expected him to come to, but she’s ALMOST gone. Seriously after this she’s GONE for the volume and barely in the rest of the series. So i’d rather celebrate FINALLY having earned my freedom over worrying about her any more than i have to. Cue the music!
youtube
So with that Kyle.. or is it Ken.
But the blonde one needles ramona, giving her her faviorite booze and telling her “this is all just temproary”
So Ramona gets all glowy.. and Kim gets her phone out....
The Universe Fights Back
So in a random bedroom Ramona gives up the ghost: SHe DOES know what that is she just can’t tell Kim. Kim accepts it and they share some drinks. Scott, after beheading the douche bros latest science project, joins them and we get a lovely scene of the three drinking and bonding and geneuinely just having a good time. Though Kim DOES mention that she wants to go back to school.. This will naturally be very important.
What’s more important is this scene is ENITRELY while I poly ship these three dum dums. I mean while part of thier hapiness here is their blasted out of hteir heads, it’s also just Kim’s wall sbeing down. She tells the two she loves them, and I think MEANS IT. Not to mention this...
Okay maybe it’s just the two of them but they also love Scott. And again I get htier VERY obviously drunk.. but given Kim and Ramona are clearly actively supressing any bi parts of themselves most of hte time this is telling. The fact Ramona asks kim to sleep in THIER bed, likely with them, is ALSO very telling and Kim only dosen’t because their using sub space. No really that’s the only reason this volume didn’t end VERY diffrently with the three of htem having a three way before the argument coming up.. and possibly fixing said argument by having kim to mediate. I mean I get Scott’s not a big part of this so if you don’t want to ship him with them and just leave them alone that’s fine, ut I like the idea of them as a throuple: they ballance each other out.. and frakly with Scott’s irresponsblity and Ramona’s emotoinal issues they need someone to call them b oth out in the relationship, while these two are two of the only three people in the work i’ve seen Kim take her walls down for. Not even Jason got that, but Jason was also a carboard cutout.
Things take a turn from Kim.. from an almost threesome where she CLEARLY would be getting most of the attention... to two assholes kidnapping her. Now while I don’t like the twins that much their plan for the final act IS actually clever: their the first ones to think to actually use the people Scott cares about.. or anything resembling strategy really. Matt just charged int here, Lucas coudln’t give less of a fuck, Todd just used brute strength like a teletkentic juggernaught, and Roxy DID use some but it was less to actually fight scott and more to get into ramona’s pants again. The twins see Kim clearly still loves Scott, and that while he acts aloff to her sometimes she really is one of his best friends. No really, think about it. Wallace is his BEST friend.. but Kim sticks by him even when he’s shitty, calls him out when needed, and despite her grumpiness is the one who has the most faith in him out of ANYONE. It’s a large point of the volume: she dosen’t bother watching the fights.. because she belivies he’ll win simply because he’s Scott. That’s love right there. The kind of love that gets you kidnapped as part of an elaborate scheme but love nonetheless.
So we then get the scene that’s been coming for five volumes... after having sex, Ramona confronts Scott. While Scott admits he didn’t cheat on her with knvies, the other way around, that’s not better. He admits he’s been trying to forget about it.. and she calls him a bad person. And that. .hits him hard. While he DESERVES scorn for what he did... as he puts it next he’s been trying to change for her. To BE better. And all she sees, and outright confirms is another evil ex in waiting with Scott DESPERATE to prove her wrong and wrongly thinking beating the next three exes will fix this. It’s a VERY hard sceen to watch as while Scott does deserve this.. it’s also hard not to feel bad for him too. It really sums up the character: He is a dick.. but he’s TRYING to be better. He WANTS to be, he just dosen’t know how. And MAN can I relate to that. It dosen’t help that Ramona is clearly projecting her own insecurties about this lasting, about actually being happy and about this really being her life onto him, using this as an easy out after having a month of doubt. Yes Scott did something unbelivibely shitty.. but both are trying to take the easy way out of it instead of genuinely discussing why it’s shitty, what he did was wrong and geniuinely unpacking if this is the end. Ramona clearly wants to bail, and Scott clearly just wants to punch a few guys to make it better. Neither thing will work. They need to work thorugh their issues to work... but neither is capable of that right now. They both want to run from the problem.
This volume is in part about Ramona herself.. and showcasing her OWN flaws.. and like Scott her biggest is that she runs. She wants to escape her past too and both assumed the other would be an easy fix, that by having a good partner they’d be better.. when really their both mildly shitty people who need to make peace with their past and repair the bridges they’ve burnt and flip off the ones not worht reparing instead of running from it all the time. But sadly before both can.. their just gonna run again. Because sometimes fixing yourself is just not that easy.
So the next morning Scott’s heart stops fo ra second when Ramona is seemingly gone.. only for her to instead be in teh shower. But Scott gets a text telling him the twins have Kim and TRIES to tell Ramona.. but she’s in the shower. As a result she’s worried he just ran off... and makes a decision , her hair cut back down after growing it out this volume, a sign of her hapiness.. now gone.
The Glow Part 2
So at an abandoned wherehouse the fight is on. The twins have the advantage in part because Scott is hung over.. something they take offense to.. even though they were THERE last night. He was at a party. They don’t know he teatotles. What state did they THINK he’d be in this morning?
We also find out their origin: as Scott correctly guessed at the end of last volume, Ramona dated them both at the same time and pit them against each other. They found out and vowed to always fight as one.. which means Scott is not only fighting two equally powerful opponents at once, but two who work as a perfct team and double hurricane kick him. They also mentally break him down, pointing out her previous job and how she’s a runner and she’s here to run from her past working for Gideon.
They aren’t but I already went into that so let’s get onto more pressing issues: Scott is not only hung over but now doubting himself and his dumbass plan to beat gideon and magically fix things, while Kim is naturally not happy about being stuck in a cage all night. And while at first she’s genuinely just grumpy as always as it becomes clear Scott has lost hope and the twins are going to win this one her expression is heartbreaking...
After EVERYTHING she still loves him and can’t bear to see him in so much pain... and can’t loose him.. so she gets desperate and claims Ramona texted him to give him hope.
This is one of Kim’s definting moments, the other coming next month. When faced with the person she loves possibly dying.. she lies to him.. so he can surivive. So he can have hope and make it through this.. despite how much it’s CLEARLY KILLING HER to not only tell him someone else loves him but to clealry lie that person loves him, knowing it’ll hurt him more.. but knowing if she DOSEN’T he’ll die. It’s one of the most painful, heartbreaking and beautiful moments in the entire series. It’s why I said earlier while I don’t like the brothers their climactic fight his excellent.. because it is. Their verbal breaking down of Scott is hearbreaking and Kim’s sacrifice equally so.
And before stomping them into coins SCott shows further growth.. by showing he CAN give off a good one liner now...
So Scott beats them and gets Kim out of the cage, worried about her.. but despite having a chance, Kim lets him get on his way to ramona and morsoely wlaks off... while ominously the sign points out this will soon be the Chaos Theater. There’s still one left to go.
But.. it’s sadly not enough. While Scott gives her a heartfelt speech... even if he quotes the song as long as you love me... he dosen’t care who she is.. but Ramona does.. calling herself a bad person.. as she vanishes.... and I cry my eyes out again. God two really heartbreaking scenes in a row sweet jesus this volume will be the death of me.. and not just because i’ts taken so damn long to write this review. And on top of tha the looses the cat and ends up locked out.
World of Ruin:
So yeah if you thought those bits weren’t easy.. it only gets roughter as we see Scott in the aftermath of the breakup. His dream world is now desolate and he’s alone. Now to his creidt as much shit as i’ve given him Stephen didn’t ENTIRELY abandon Scott: he put him up fo rth enight (though he kicks him out after work) and offers to take him to after work drinks. We also see a nice side of Scott’s intimdating boss as she offers her symaptheties at him crying... while he says it’s the onions... he’s transparenlty lying.
Next up is Kim. Though she dosen’t have a couch because Hollie sold it.. which as dickish as she suddenly is it IS her couch as Kim points out.. so yeah Kim and Scott end up sleeping awkardly in the same bed facing away from each other.. and to add another emotional guttpunch at the worst possible time: She’s going back home.
Stacey is even lesss helpful as SCott continues to ask about cats and is unsypantethic about her leaving despite you know, him REALLY not being at the shit talking her stage yet bud. At least we do get to see Stacey in this one I genuinely forgot she was in it.
So at Wallace’s he’s no help either pointing out she might be with someone else because he’s wallace and we meet a guy with Glases.. and in his bad state Scott assumes i’ts gideon. it’s not though. WE finally meet Mobile!
He’s exactly what wallace needs.. a fellow sarcastic asshole.
So next up is Kim’s goodbye.. which once again is really emotinal..a nd not just because my faviorite character is leaving and again, younger me didn’t know this wasn’t forever.. or that she’d be back for a rather huge role next time. But still it’s a damn good scene that shows how far Scott’s come...
While the first part is standard... the second is Scott realizing that she still had feelings for him, clearly given her actions during the fight, and he’d been a right dick this whole time never dealing with it or apolgoizing for his past. Granted he still has a way to go to REALLY apologize for it... but he’s trying and means it. And with her possibly never seeing again.. she needed that. Also her coat is damn cool. I’d say I want one like that btu i’d really prefer one like Scotts complete with x-men patch. Pax Krakoa bitches.
We get a really nice scene after where we meet Scott’s parents! Their also really kind helping him get a new place and move on... and runs into another glasses guy. But this time it’s Laurence! Who he drop kicks.. and then gives a broken bass back to. Eh... i’ve seen worse relationship with siblings honestly. He didn’t murder scott’s friend or plunge a whole galaxy into war or try and murder his daughter. Other Scott’s weren’t so lucky.
So after that awkardness SCott finds the note to gideon which is a break up letter... she never sent. However there’s something more pressing as he gets a call... and you can probably guess given his luck lately who that’s from.
Eh it’s not that murderoius creep but another one.
The end.. is in a few weeks.
Final Thoughts:
As I said I hated Vs the Universe on first read but re-reading it with hindsight and maturity.. it’s damn good. It’s depressing as hell.. but the things it does need to happen to push scott into a bad enough place for the next volume to work, and are natural: Ramona and Kim leaving, The band breaking up, Scott kicking his brother in the face.. all natural things. It hurts, this was a HARD one to write and I only feel the next one will be harder because it’s way longer with less slice of lifey stuff to skim through in my recapping.
But it’s a damn good one, with fantastic art, really gripping scenes, x-men refrenes and a spotlight shone on my girl kim. Even it’s weak spots dont’ hurt it: the twins are only weak by comparison, and still work well enough for the story, pushing ramona into the bad mental place she needs to be for the story to work. Hollie’s thing DID Need to be written way fucking better... but it does push kim into leaving which is CRITICAL for next time. So they aren’t GREAT elements, but they work. The only real other problem I have is knives just.. vanishes after her scene outside of one bit with Stephen, but that I can understand as the book is pretty tightly packed and she gets a fitting sendoff next time anyway. All in all another amazing entry and the perfect warm up for one of the best endings in comics history
Next Time: I said it and I meant it: one of the best endings in comics history as Scott hits on some exes, fights himself and betters himself as he prepares for his finest hour! Will Ramona Come back? Will Kim? Will Julie?... to answer your questions yes yes, and god dammit. Thank you all for reading, see you at the next rainbow.

class 1-a boys kissing their crush for a tiktok
pairings: iida x gn!reader
warnings: none here :))
a/n: this wasn’t a request but it just happened to be something that happened to pop into my head and i got really excited :D
part 1 | part 2 | part 3
► now shuffling...
this man… is so oblivious to anything other than school and anything along the lines of becoming a hero
but surprisingly… he does have tiktok!
you, uraraka, midoriya, and todoroki send tiktoks in the group chat you have!
iida never really sends any but if he sees one that reminds him of you he sends it
and it’s only you. he won't send anything that reminds him of midoriya or todoroki or uraraka
midoriya and uraraka pick up on this and they begin planning
todoroki understands but he chooses not to interfere
uraraka purposefully searches the hashtag of the trend and finds the cutest video she can find and she sends it to the group chat with the caption being ‘look at how cute this is!!!’
which, hell yeah it’s cute
it’s so cute that iida can’t help but watch it every chance he can
the video was of one person teaching the other how to skateboard
they attempt an ollie and at first iida was like “that is extremely dangerous! they should only be attempting that if they have the proper protection.”
you impersonate him doing the same hand motions as him and he feels himself blushing
you continue watching as they get closer and closer to landing it
once they do, both of them start jumping up and down
the one person spins the person around so they’re facing them
this is the part where iida literally dies
he's so lost because,,,, he thought the video clearly stated that they were only best friends?
so why are said best friends kissing now?
he glances over to watch your reaction and your cheeks are a faint tint of pink and you’re squealing in excitement and happiness
deep deep down, iida really loves the risk in the video
something about risking it all for the person you love is so exciting to him
he wishes he could be that risky
so he decides that he’ll do something about that
uraraka teaches him how to make a tiktok - how to pick the right sound, how to use the timer feature, and how to upload
everyone knows that you can't go onto the dorm roof at night, but does iida listen?
yeah he does but tonight is an exception 🥺
iida leads you up to the roof and you’re like “who are you and what have you done with our resident rule-follower tenya iida????”
he chuckles and reaches back to grab your hand
damn iida, that’s some smooth shit
iida swings open the door to the roof and you look up at the sky
you comment on how gorgeous it is, but iida can't stop staring at you
he doesn’t make any noise as he sets up his phone and presses record
you’re still watching the sky just in time to see a comet shoot past
iida takes this as the chance to turn you towards him
“would you like to help my wish come true?”
you don't even get to ask what he means when his lips are on yours
its slow and sweet and you’re wrapping your arms around his neck
you two pull away and he thanks you and stiffly goes to turn his camera off
“iida?”
“yes?”
“what was your wish?”
“that i would be able to kiss the love of my life”
🥺🥺🥺🥺sir your hand in marriage pleASE
he walks back towards you stuffing his phone into his pocket and you two sit on the roof leaning against each other
you jump on him peppering his face with kisses when he asks you to be his s/o
the video went viral because it was simply just a beautiful video that took place on a beautiful night :)

hate to be horny on main but teenage dirtbag!kells would be so nice and reach you if it was your first time going down on him
i swear i didn’t mean to write this. i guess i love being horny on main, stop me next time pls. sorry it took a while to respond to haha <3
1.5k smut below!
masterlist!
You’d been dancing around with Colson now, tip toeing the line. Working together after going out on a couple of dates had been harder than you’d expected, long shifts filled with wandering eyes, spending the ten minute breaks leaning against the boxes of ingredients in the supply closet, even staying up later than usual so that you could fool around in the empty store.
Stumbling into your bedroom, you shushed the boy clambering up the stairs behind you.
“They might still be up,” you whispered, trying to rush him into your room before your parents could wake up.
He grimaced at the sound of his own footsteps on your creaky staircase, and your eyes widened, poking your head out of the door to cautiously watch the closed one of your parent’s room.
“Sorry,” he mumbled as you shut the door behind him, reaching under his arm to lock it.
“No, you’re not,” you smiled up at him, only barely getting the words out before he turned you around so that your back was against the door.
“No, I’m not,” he whispered, hands going up your face as his lips met yours.
You melted into his kiss, eagerly wrapping your arms behind his neck. Locking your wrists around him, you pulled him closer, until you could feel his front against yours. He was semi-hard, and you smiled into the kiss as his thumb stroked your cheek.
He broke the kiss for only a second, moving one of his hands to the door behind you, holding you in place with his other hand, mumbling out a soft, “baby.”
You hummed back as you let your lips find his again. Feeling a little enthusiastic, you brought your tongue to the edge of his lips, moving it until he opened his mouth. Moaning just a little, you rocked into him, as his hand slipped under your shirt, running up from your waist. He was completely hard now, and you moved your fingers against the base of his neck as he mumbled something into your mouth.
“What’d you say?” you asked, leaning your forehead against his. The moon lit up your room, the air coming in from the window a nice contrast to the heat building in your stomach.
“I said we should stop soon,” he murmured, hand still under your shirt, splayed against your stomach, burning up.
You bit your lip in contemplation, thinking through things for a second. Moving your lips to his ear, you breathed out, “What if I don’t want to stop here?”
He perked up, immediately moving back from you. The spot where his hand had lit you up was cold now as he stood straight, rubbing at his head.
“You sure? I wouldn’t want to pressure you or anything. I’m cool with this,” he declared, eyes never leaving yours.
It was cute. You two hadn’t done more than heavy make-out sessions before, and even though you knew he’d had sex before, he was more than okay with taking it slow with you. It was just another thing you hadn’t expected from the boy standing in front of you, fresh scar on the bridge on his nose after falling off of his skateboard earlier this week.
You laughed a little before pushing past him towards your bed, simply mumbling, “I’m sure.”
He grinned before adjusting himself as you sat on top of his lap, feeling just how hard he was as you kissed him again. His hands came to your waist, moving you against him slowly at a pace that drove you insane. Biting at his lower lip, you smiled at the little hiss that fell out of his mouth into yours.
A few seconds later, he moved his mouth to your neck, leaving a trail of kisses as he got to your sensitive spot. You arched a little at the contact of his teeth, the way he slightly pulled just how he knew you’d like it.
Your movements stilled as he let his tongue explore your neck and you panted at the sudden feeling in your stomach.
“Col,” you managed to get out and he came back up, looking at you.
“Okay?” he murmured and you nodded before voicing what you really wanted to say, “I wanna. You know, suck you off.”
His eyebrows shot up, smile forming on his face as he licked his lips, “Yeah?”
“But I’ve never done it before,” you blurted out, biting the corner of your lip.
“No it’s fine, you don’t have to do it,” he assured you before lifting the two hands that were on you.
“I want to, stupid,” you emphasized as he took a breath, chest lifting.
“I can show you, like guide you through it?” he offered and you grinned at his offer, moving off of him and onto the carpeted floor.
“Fuck if I knew you were going to give me head I would’ve worn better boxers,” he chuckled, pulling down the sweatpants he wore.
You rested your elbows on his thighs before letting out a laugh at the bright yellow bananas that adorned his underwear. He smirked before leaning down, kissing you again.
“Okay,” he muttered, and you rolled your eyes at the whole production he was creating here.
“Take your dick out,” you mumbled, hands going to pull at his boxers.
He gave you a look, and then pulled his boxers down. You took a breath at the way his dick heavily lolled up right in front of you. You’d watched a couple of videos recently, trying to learn the best way to do this and you pushed yourself up on your knees, hands firmly planting on his thighs.
“Wait,” he mumbled before you could do anything and you looked up at him. He softly tugged at your arm and you let him bring it up, confused as he slid the hair tie you kept on your wrist off. Without explaining anything, his hands went into your hair, gathering it all up.
He loosely tied it back, murmuring out, “I wanna see your face.”
You blushed at his words, before shaking your head slightly. Going back to your position, you stuck your tongue out, slowly moving it his tip. Keeping your eyes trained on him, you moved down his length, trailing your tongue as you went. Getting to the bottom, you froze, forgetting what you’d learned from the videos.
“Doing good princess,” he mumbled out, seeing the hesitation on your face. He brought a hand down, thumb trailing over the puffiness of your lips. You quickly darted your tongue out, licking at his thumb as he smiled before moving his hand back up, holding it behind his head.
You swallowed before moving back up so you were face level with his tip again. Wrapping your lips around, you bobbed your head down.
“Mmm, slower,” he uttered from above you, and you took his words seriously, slowly moving back up. Getting off of his dick, you took a short breath before going down again, slower this time. Hollowing your cheeks, you twirled your tongue a little hearing the way his breath caught at your motion.
“Fuck,” he groaned out, and you tried to smirk as you moved up and down. Putting a little more of him into your mouth, you looked up, seeing his reaction. His head was thrown back, and even though you couldn’t see him, the veins popping out in his neck told you all you needed to know.
You pulled off his dick again, letting the cool air hit before licking his tip again, this time slower. Bringing one of your hands around him, you tugged, eyes lighting up at the moan that fell out of his mouth.
You closed your lips around him once more, moving up and down with the same speed you were tugging at and his thigh suddenly twitched under your other palm.
His hands immediately came to the back of your head, guiding you just the way he wanted as he mumbled something above you. Twirling your tongue again, you sped up just a little, feeling the way his groan reverberated all the way down.
“Y/N, holy shit. I’m gonna come, fuck,” he grunted, hand tugging at your loose ponytail pulling you off his dick.
“Let me,” you whispered, surprised at the way your voice sounded. You only waited a second before going back down on him, going just a little faster as he groaned above you. Then, he was coming, spilling into your mouth.
You grimaced at the taste, trying to swallow it down as you moved from where you’d been kneeling. Reaching for the garbage can in your room, you spit out into it, wiping hastily at your mouth before turning to look at him.
He was spent, spread out on your bed, pants still down around his ankles as he raised his head to look at you.
“Sorry,” you whispered moving back, cheeks feeling awfully red as his eyes met yours.
“About what? That was so fucking hot,” he mumbled, arm reaching up for you. You moved down until you were laying right by his side, burying your head into his chest.
“Promise?” you asked, not even wanting to look at him.
“I mean there’s always room for improvement,” he rumbled out and you laughed as he kissed your forehead, mumbling a small “promise” into your hair.

Chapter 1: MADMAX
Summary; As the town preps for Halloween, a high-scoring rival shakes things up at the arcade, and a skeptical Hopper inspects a field of rotting pumpkins.
There will be a tag list, comment below if you would like to be added :)
Story list; Chapter 1, Chapter 2
“Son of a bitch! Son of a bitch!”
The rushed footsteps of Dustin Henderson grows louder as he stumbles into the living room of his three bedroom home. The news plays faintly on the television, Dustin unable to hear the alert coming from the newsman,
“A police chase rocked downtown Pittsburgh earlier this evening...”
Dustin moves to the couch his twin sister, Y/N, sat on, pulling the cushion opposite of her before lifting his hand, revealing to Y/N a shiny penny hidden in the couches dept, “Another stupid penny!”
Dustins hand launches to the side to chuck the penny, the small coin flying past you and landed next to the love seat Claudia Henderson sat on with the family cat, Mews, “Dusty!” Your mother scolds, her hands running down Mews back in a gentle groom, “Watch it! You almost hit your sister.”
“Can I please check under your cushions?” Dustins eyes flick to you, sipping hot chocolate from one of your mothers mugs, then to Claudia,
“Dusty.” Claudia warns, Dustin whining deep in his throat, “Mom, please? It’s an emergency!”
Claudia makes a noise of annoyance, lifting Mews from her lap before raising to her feet, allowing Dustin to launch for her chair and begin to pull the cushions off, “Whats the emergency?” You shift in your seat before scooting down the couch, watching Dustin as he pulls up her cushion, revealing two quarters in his hand,
“The Party is meeting up at the arcade, I gotta find as much quarters as I can.” Dustin mumbles, sticking his arm into the back of the couch, pulling his hand up and groaning at the four pennies in his hand.
“Ooh, can I come?” You ask, moving to set you mug on the counter and watch as Dustin pathetically toss the cushions back into their spot, “I have four dollars in quarters.”
“Fine.” Dustin heaves, waving for you to hurry and grab your bag of coins, “Lucas, you copy? I’ve got four quarters, Y/N’s bringing four dollars worth. What’s your haul?”
“Take your puny haul and multiply it by five.” Lucas answers into Dustins talkie, and you snort as you stand in the doorway of Dustins room, “And are you really bringing your sister?”
“I can keep my sixteen quarters.” You call back, Dustins eyes widening before he shakes his head. “Yes, I’m bringing Y/N, suck it up.”
“Whatever. I’m going to shower, like a real man. Now you call Mike. Over and out.”
Dustin sighs, flicking the channel to his talkie and handing you his four coins to drop in your mini bag. “Mike, do you copy? Mike, do you copy?”
“Yeah.” Mike answers, almost instantly, “Yeah I copy.”
“What are you doing on this channel?”
“Nothing.” Mike dodges, and you roll your eyes.
“Well Lucas and I have six bucks, plus Y/Ns four bucks total. What’s your haul?”
“Shit.” You hear Mike grumble, and Dustin throws a hand up, weakly, “Shit! I don’t know yet.”
“What do you mean you don’t know yet?” You snap, Mike scoffing over the talkie, “Just hold on. Call Will.”
As you and Dustin skid to a stop on your bikes, you lift your hand to wave to Joyce and Will Byers in their car. You watch as Joyce stops Will from getting out, saying only a couple of words before she is waving back, pulling off.
“Oh Jesus! I’m in chartered territory here, guys.” Dustins game is slow to start, the group of five friends all huddled around the arcade game, Dragons Lair,
“Down!” You and Mike shout in unison, startling Dustin to quickly move the joystick, “Down! Down!”
“I’m going!” Dustin rushes, and you grimace when the knight on the game screen is burned alive by the dragon, Dustin raising his fist to his mouth to bite down on the skin,
“You’re just not nimble enough, you’ll get there one day.” Lucas grins, elbowing you in between him and your brother, “But until then. Princess Daphne is still mine.”
“As if,” You instantly scoff, squinting your eyes, “We all know I claimed her, since the beginning.”
“You could literally like any girl here in Hawkins, and you choose the imaginary one?” Mike questions, and you shrug, grinning, “I have my types. Besides, I’m definitely getting more than any of you fools.”
“Whatever, gross.” Dustin shakes his head. “I’m still tops on Centipede and Dig Dug.”
“You sure about that?” Your head snaps over at Keiths question, the arcade worker holding a bag of chips, stuffing a handful of the powdery goodness into his mouth, so you cringed and lean on the games surface.
“Sure about what?” Dustin asks, hesitantly, and Keith raises his hand to stuff another chip into his mouth, crunching down loudly on the food. Realization washes over Dustins face, and you step back to let him dart down the isle of games, your hand snatching your now half empty bag before you follow the group of boys, to your brothers first favorite game.
“No!” Dustin cries out when he reaches the screen, your eyes scanning this list of scores and raise to the top, glancing at the name MADMAX shining beside the score 751300, “Who is Mad Max?” Dustin demands.
“Better than you.” Dustin shoves his middle finger in Keiths face. “Is it you?” Will asks, and Keith scoffs. “You know I despise Dig Dug.”
“Then who is it?” You push, eyes narrowed. “You want information, then I need something in return.” Keith raises his eyebrows, and the five kids look between one another, before their gaze finally settles on Mike, whose eyes widen when the thought settles.
“No, no, no. No way. You’re not getting a date with her.”
“Mike, come on.” Lucas pleas, “Just get him the date.”
“I’m not prostituting my sister!” Mike snarls, “That’s like setting Y/N up with Troy!”
“Gross.” You mumble, Mike raising his hand to you in an ‘exactly my point’ motion.
“But it’s for a good cause.” Lucas states, and Dustin waves his hands. “No. Don’t get him the date. Know what? He’s gonna spread his nasty-ass rash to your whole family.”
“Ache isn’t a rash and it isn’t contagious, you prepubescent wastoid.”
“Oh, I’m a wastoid? She wouldn’t go on a date with you.” Dustin scoffs, your eyes catching Will moving towards the entrance of the arcade, your brows furrowing before you step after him, holding the door open for the young boy.
“Will?” Your call startles him, turning to face you. “Are you okay?”
“Yeah. I just...needed some air.”
“Come on.” You stick a hand out to your elementary school friend, smiling when he relaxes upon taking said hand, “It’s your turn on Dig Dug. We gotta win our high score back.”
. . .
“Meet the human brain. I know. I know, it doesn’t look like much. A little gross even,”
“It looks like I chewed up a whole pack of gum,” You cut in, sitting in the chair behind Dustin, “Then spit it out on your desk, and hello! Surprise!”
“Very funny, Henderson.” Clarke presses his lips together, and you grin when Dustin looks back at you. “But consider this. There are a hundred billion cells inside of this miracle of evolution. All working as one. No, no, I did not misspeak. I did not stutter. A hundred billion.”
The classroom door suddenly opens, your head lifting off your hand when a girl with red hair steps up next to Clarke, your lips parting in awe. “Ah, this must be our new student. Class, please welcome, all the way from sunny California, the latest passenger to join us on our curiosity voyage, Maxine.”
“It’s Max,” She corrects, and looks over at Clarkes furrowed brows, “Nobody calls me Maxine. It’s Max.”
You gasp, dragging the four boys in front and to your left to look at you, “Mad Max.”
“Well, all aboard, Max.”
You curiously watch as Max moves to the back of the classroom, your eyes watching her drop into the single empty desk, her arms crossing before her eyes raise to meet yours. You lift a hand and wave, Max scoffing and rolling her eyes before shifting them to the front of the room.
. . .
“There’s no way that’s Mad Max.”
You lean against the fence outside of Hawkins Middle, eyes watching the blazing red head skateboard down the walkway,
“Yeah. Girls don’t play video games.” Dustin mumbles, and you face him, eyebrows raised, “What?”
“That’s dog shit, Dustin.” You glance back at Max, who now jumped off her board and held it under her arm. “If I can play video games, so can she.”
“Uh oh,” Lucas bumps his hip with yours, so you looked at him, “Someone’s got a crush.”
“Do not.” You snip, “I never even actually met her.”
“You’re not the only one.” Dustin quietly states, and your eyes snap to him a second time.
“Seriously?” You question. “Back off. She’s mine.”
“But you just said-,” “I know what I said.”
“Twins fighting for the same girl?” Mike grins at Lucas, “This is gonna be good.”
“Why can’t you just be straight?” Dustin tests, and you narrow your eyes, testingly, “Then we’d definitely be twins.”
“She threw a piece of paper in the bins,” You dart away from the fence, skidding to a stop in front of the trash can so the four boys all shielded you, then turned to you when you unravel the paper,
“Stop spying on me creeps.”
“We’re not spying.” You scoff, and Mike and Lucas look at each other, “Right?”
“Well shit.” Dustin crosses his arms and sighs, and looks over when the principle steps up, alerting Will that Joyce has came to pick him up.
. . .
“Still no sign?”
You sigh and lean against the car you, Lucas and Dustin were hiding behind, extending your legs to stretch out the aching tension in them from squatting for so long. “Jack shit.”
“Damn it, mom’s going to murder us.” You look over at Dustin, who checks his watch and grimaces. “Then go home.” Lucas states, hands holding binoculars over his eyes. “I’ll radio if she comes.”
“Oh, yeah, nice try.” Dustin snips, “You just want us out of here so you can make your move.”
“Oh, cause youre such a threat.” Lucas snaps back, and you squint your eyes. “Are you serious? You too, Lucas?”
“How do you even know if she likes girls, anyways, Y/N? Oh, right, you dont.”
“So?” You huff, and stand up, rolling your shoulders. Your eyes look over, suddenly grabbing Dustins shoulder before pointing to Lucas’ binoculars. “Ten o’clock. Ten o’clock.”
Up ahead, you can see Billy Hargroves car pulling up to the arcade, Max hoping out of the passenger seat, but turns to yell at her step brother, throwing him the bird when he speeds off.
You shove Dustins shoulder and round the car, jogging up to the door of the arcade where Max had disappeared.
“What do we do now?” It’s late at night, you stroll on your bike between Dustin and Lucas, only pedaling occasionally as to not stop completely. “We stick to the plan.”
“Mike’s not gonna like it.” Lucas protests, and Dustin rolls his eyes, swiftly. “Last time I checked, our party is not a dictatorship. It’s a democracy.”
“What if Max says no?” You frown.
“How can Max say no to these?” Dustin purrs, and you stick out a hand, shoving the side of his head so he swerved on his bike. “I swear to God, Dustin.”
“I’ll see you guys tomorrow.” Lucas sighs, turning his bike onto his road so you and Dustin were left alone. You skid your bike to a stop under the carport, propping the stand down so your bike would stand on its own.
A chirping sound causes you to turn around to face Dustin, your twin brother halting in place, telling you that he heard the noise, too. “Mews?” You call, Dustin turning to the darkness of your yard, then after a moments pause, he turns back to the house, waving off the sudden noise.
You sigh and follow him into the house, pulling off your jacket and dropping it on the coat rack.

Sander watching the vlogs and teasing Robbe?? // Maybe Robbe teaching Sander how to skate at the skatepark?? // can you write something where sander finds Robbe's video rapping and robbe is all embarrassed?
“Your boy is a pro, Robbe!” Jens put his hand on Robbe’ shoulder, but he doesn’t even care to look at him or agree. Sander looks so cute on his skateboard, opening his arms every few seconds to regain his balance. Aaron is trying to teach him like he knows what he’s talking about and Moyo is carefully walking around them in circles, filming in every angle possible.
Sander knows what to do, Robbe taught him a few times, how to stand, balance his weight, etc. He’s just practicing while also trying to avoid looking straight at Moyo and his camera. He’s not the biggest fan of being filmed which is ironic, especially not for the vlogs, but he doesn’t complain either.
Robbe wants to stop him and climb on his lap, kiss him and tell how cute he looks being a skater boy, but he can’t or the boys won’t ever stop talking about it. And Robbe is sure Moyo would love to capture every second of that to put on the internet later.
“Has he ever seen the worse in you?” Jens asks all of a sudden and Robbe freezes for a second. If there’s someone that has seen the very, very worse in him, that’s Sander.
And for a reason Robbe still doesn’t know, he came back anyway. He looks at Jens and he’s typing something on his phone. Robbe is still trying to think on an explanation for what he told Sander months ago, but then he hears something coming from Jens’ phone and at the same time that he relaxes, his worries just change to something lighter but just as embarrassing.
Jens gets up and slips inside the skate bowl, going to show the most embarrassing video of Robbe that exists on the internet to Sander, the person he’s always trying to impress. Robbe rushes to catch up to him, holding his arm, stopping in front of Jens with both hands on his chest.
“You’re a dead man if you show this video to him, Jens!”
“What? He needs to know that his boyfriend is a rapper!”
“No. He doesn’t. Jens!” He stops trying to walk around Robbe, but before Robbe can understand what’s going on and grab his phone from his hands, he knows Moyo already received a message with the link that Jens just sent to him.
Jens smiles at him and Robbe can hear Moyo loud laughter. Robbe feels like he’s turning is slow motion. Sander is watching the video on Moyo’s phone and he’s smiling!
Robbe can feel his whole body overheating in shame as he rushes to them, grabbing Moyo’s phone and shoving in against his chest, pushing Sander away from his stupid friends.
“That was a stupid joke! Forget that you ever saw that.” Sander is still smiling and Robbe tries to ignore his obnoxious friends behind him.
“How can you do that?” Robbe inhales deeply, so embarrassed it’s hard to think or to find an excuse for such a dumb video.
“Look, I was just playing and-”
“How are you so cute and perfect?” Sander quietly pulls him closer by his waist, so close that Robbe has to tilt his head back to be able to see his face and his cute smile, making his eyes turn into half circles. And Robbe can’t control himself, he smiles back at him.
He sighs, putting his hands on Sander’s shoulders. His boyfriend is so sweet, Robbe definitely doesn’t deserve him.
“Fuck, look, it wasn’t for you to know how dumb I can be, ok? You have to promise me you’ll never watch these videos, ever.” Sander raises his eyebrows very high and pouts a little.
He’ll watch, there’s just no way Robbe will be able to convince him not to do it. The worse part is that he’ll watch late at night or when they’re not together and he’ll never tell Robbe he watched it, that’s how cute he is.
“I promise. I won’t watch it.” He comes closer, opening his lips and teasing Robbe, watching as he opens his lips just a little too and Sander smiles, staring at him for a second before kissing him. “But I’ll give you a ride home on your own skateboard.”
“You can’t carry me.”
“What? Yes, I can and I will. I’m used to you using me as your way of transportation. Just climb on my back and we’ll be ready to go. I have some research to do on Youtube.”
“Sander!” Robbe whines and he kisses him again, smiling against his lips.
“I’m kidding! I’m kidding, Robbe!” He kisses him again, putting his hands on Robbe’s waist, pushing him to walk back to his friends with the cute smile still on his lips and Robbe now can only think about kissing him.
