One idea for part 2 is for Jason to show the reader what a Interrogation really is.
He ties her to the bed and interrogates her to find out why she deceived him. Force her to confess 🗣
Hey, hey! I deviated a little from the suggestion just because I think Jason's more of a 'long, drawn-out, elaborate revenge plan that you never saw coming' type of guy 😏. If you don't like it though, just let me know and I can try another version with the bed instead!
Interrogation practise
I feel like this is now going to turn into a part 3 based on everyone's responses to that little surprise at the end 😬😅. Please enjoy!
Part 1 - the interrogation
Part 2 - the revenge
Part 3 - the roleplay
Warnings: bondage, explicit descriptions of sex including fingering (f receiving), blowjob (f receiving) and penetration (p in v).
----------------------------------------------------------
She swung across the rooftops, eager to get home and take a shower before cuddling up on the sofa to watch a movie with her boyfriend. Jason had started running a little cold after, well, literally dying, so she always used that as an excuse to curl up with him under the blankets. She rubbed her arm as she landed on top of GCPD, the appendage still sore from where she’d gotten hit earlier.
“Slow down, sweetheart,” Jason called out to her, his voice low and thick as he landed beside her. “We’re not being chased by anyone.” She sighed, trying to relax, and turned to face him, sliding her hands along his chest appreciatively.
“I know, I just …” Her eyes flickered up to his and she grinned before wrapping him up in a hug. “I just want to go home and cuddle up with you! My cute little boyfriend!”
“What the hell?” Jason chuckled, his hands coming around her waist to gently pry her off of him. He wasn’t ‘cute’ - and most definitely not ‘little’. She shot him a mischievous smile - the one that made his heart start thudding in his chest - and he rolled his eyes before turning her around.
“Why don’t we just … take a moment to enjoy the view?” he suggested, guiding her over to the railing surrounding the rooftop. “It’s such a beautiful night.” He stood behind her as she gazed up at the night sky, his hard chest pressing into her back as she admired the way the stars twinkled in the dark. He was right: it was a beautiful night, with her super hot boyfriend - she should take advantage of the brief respite. She turned back around to face him, to slide her hands up his hard muscles and- She couldn’t move. Why couldn’t she move? Oh. Because he’d frickin’ handcuffed her to the rooftop of the effing GCPD building! What the hell?!
“Jason,” she began slowly, trying to keep her voice steady as she tugged on the handcuffs. What the hell was he trying to accomplish?! “What are you doing?” Jason grinned as he took off his helmet and set it aside.
“I am showing you …” He straightened to remove his jacket, shrugging the sleeves off and draping it over his helmet, “... how a real interrogation works.”
Shit! He couldn’t be serious! Could he? Then again, this was the same guy who’d come up with a whole elaborate revenge plan to get back at the Batman after he’d failed to save him from The Joker. So maybe he really wasn’t joking.
“Jason, this isn’t funny,” she insisted, her heart picking up speed in her chest. “Can’t we just do this at home?” He chuckled at her suggestion.
“You don't usually get to interrogate criminals in a comfortable environment, sweetheart,” he informed her casually. His pupils dilated as he watched himself trace his knife over the smooth dips and curves of her body and he licked his lips hungrily.
“Jason, we’re on a f*cking rooftop!” she hissed at him, trying to keep her voice low enough that no one in their vicinity would come to investigate and find them in such a compromising situation. “In the middle of Gotham frickin’ City! What the hell?!”
She didn’t swear much, his sweet girlfriend, so it was always a bit of a shock to hear the vulgarities drip out of her mouth. It was funny, he thought to himself as he appraised her beautiful little body, how badly he’d fallen in love with her when they were so different from one another. Well, that was probably why he’d fallen in love with her in the first place, he supposed, trying to figure out where he wanted to start tonight. He tucked his knife back into his pocket and began unbuckling her belt, ignoring her frustrated protests as he set it aside. She was just so sweet and innocent and it thrilled him whenever he managed to bring out her naughty side. He gripped her chin in his hand, bringing his mouth close to hers. Then he smirked at her. “I’m just trying to help you, sweetheart. Right?”
She glared up at him, her almond-shaped eyes wide and pretty as her rosy lips twisted into a pout. F*ck, she was beautiful, all spread out for him just like this. He couldn’t wait to torture her.
X fiddled with her handcuffs again, trying to come up with a way to get herself out of this situation - they were on the f*cking rooftop of the f*cking Gotham police station, for f*ck’s sake! What if Gordon walked in on them?! Or worse yet - Bruce?! She bent and rotated her wrists, trying to reach up one of her sleeves to pull out the lock picks she kept stashed there for situations just like this. It was too bad he hadn’t cuffed her hands together - it would have been so much easier for her otherwise. But he probably knew that, given the hundreds of times he’d found her chained up in some uncomfortable position, Damian chasing away anyone who tried to help her until she could pick a lock in her sleep. Jason let her go and pulled his knife back out again, tracing the tip of the blade over the seams in her suit.
“So tell me, darlin’,” he finished, his voice a lazy drawl as he admired her body, so perfectly outlined by her tight little suit, “how long were you planning that little stunt you pulled the other night?” X furrowed her brows, pretending to act confused - even as her lips started to curl at the ends.
“What stunt?” Jason shook his head at the fake note of naivete in her voice. But he had to admit that she was cute when she looked at him like that, curly eyelashes fluttering up at him, pretty lips rounded in confusion.
“Don't play dumb with me, sweetheart,” he warned her, twisting the tip of his knife in the collar of her shirt. “I know you too well for that.” He bent over to press a kiss to her cheek, his knife threatening her against moving as he brushed his lips down her neck.
“I'm not lying, Jace!” she insisted, her voice going up a pitch as she started to get more alarmed. “I just got carried away, that's all!” Maybe if she made herself seem really helpless, he'd feel bad and let her go. And then try to make up for it after. How long would she be able to hold this over his head?
Jason laughed, his breath blowing away the loose strands of hair around her face.
“‘Carried away’?” he repeated incredulously, pressing the tip of his knife harder against the fabric at her collarbone. “Somehow, I'm just not buying that, sweetheart.” He straightened, pulling back from her slightly, a knowing look on his face.
“You may have everyone else fooled, but I know you better than that,” he continued, bending over her again to murmur in her ear. “And you know me. So you know how far I'm ready to take this, sweetheart.” And then he dragged his knife down the centre of her suit, ripping it in half. She gasped, horrified: how the hell was she supposed to get home now? With her breasts flying all over the place?! Ugh! He was so infuriating! She definitely wasn't going to give into him now.
“Jason!” she hissed, curling into herself to try to shield some of her exposed chest. “What the freakin’ hell?! I only thought of the damn idea the day before! When I asked you to help me!”
He pulled his eyes up from where they had been running all over her breasts, her perky little tits so round and soft in front of him. “The day before was just a reminder, sweetheart: you'd already asked me a few days before that.”
He leaned over her, grabbing her wrists and holding them in place by her sides, his hard chest pressing against her soft flesh. His lips were so close to hers, his sparkling green eyes darkening with desire as they trailed over her face. “So you must have been planning it for at least as long.”
His voice was low when he spoke, gruff and throaty, and she felt a shiver run down her spine at the feeling, her body shaking against his as he continued to hold her down. He smirked at her, pleased.
“You're right,” she agreed, making herself look as guilty as possible. “It was when I first asked you, the week before. I just … got so carried away that I forgot. That's all.” Liar. Of course he'd hacked into her social media accounts and found all those salacious fanfiction stories she’d been reading - and about him, no less! Tying up the Red Hood and teasing him until he was begging for you, pleading with you to let him touch and taste you. He'd felt his body heat up as he'd skimmed through the words, his core tightening at the thought of his sweet little girlfriend indulging in such naughty fantasies. About him! But she knew he'd never have agreed to letting her tie him up and torture him like that, so she must have come up with some sort of plan to trick him into giving himself over to her. He huffed at the memory of him pleading with her, his words becoming slurred as she pushed him to the edge of his pleasure and then left him hanging. He was going to get his revenge tonight and, oh, would it be sweet.
“Baby,” he began gently, brushing his lips softly against hers. She sighed at the feeling and tilted her head back, her eyelids fluttering shut as she waited for him to kiss her. “How dumb do you think I am?”
Her eyes flew open again as he straightened and shoved his knife back in his pocket. He sighed as he looked back up at her again, shaking his head with disappointment.
“Has no one ever told you how obvious your tells are?” he informed her, leaning over her again, one hand reaching up to tuck her hair behind her ear. “Honestly, I'm surprised you've managed to keep your identity a secret for this long.”
He flashed her a crooked grin, the one that made her stomach start flipping over and her heart start fluttering like crazy. “Good thing you've got your big, strong boyfriend to protect you, hmm?”
He bent over to brush his lips along her cheek, then nipped at her ear before trailing his mouth down her neck. He was insane, her boyfriend was actually insane. She pulled at her restraints, the metal rattling with her desperate attempts to break free.
“Jason! What the hell!” she scolded him, furious now. She'd probably need someone else to protect her from her big, strong boyfriend at this rate! He nibbled on the soft spot between her neck and her shoulder, then pulled back to admire her, his tongue running across his lips at the sight of her exposed breasts. He bent over to press his lips to them, licking and sucking on them gently, soft moans escaping from his mouth as he played with each of her breasts in turn. Shit, he was good.
“Tell me how long you were planning it,” he mumbled, pulling one of her nipples into his mouth and sucking on it hard before letting it go. She shuddered at the feeling and he straightened to grin at her, his fingers replacing his mouth to continue teasing her already stiff peaks. She bit down on her lip and shook her head, not wanting to reward him for his audacity. He shrugged at her lack of response and lowered his mouth back to her breasts, his tongue circling her nipple slowly before he pulled on it again.
“If that's how you want to play.” She felt his teeth graze her skin as he repeated the words she'd used on him, his lips twisting into a grin at his cleverness. Then he moved his mouth to her neck, his fingers drifting dangerously low down her torso.
“J-Jason …” she breathed, wriggling around and curling her back to stop him from plunging his fingers into her underwear and- Shiiiiiiiiiit. She whimpered as he dragged his long fingers through her folds, stroking and scissoring her in just the way he knew she liked. “Shit, Jay.”
He smirked at her sudden helplessness, her head flopping over as he continued to play with her. She sucked a breath as he circled his fingers around her entrance, coating them in the c*m already dripping out of her, then let out a sigh of relief when he plunged them into her, poking and prodding at her favourite spot.
“Jay,” she whined, looking up at him with her pretty eyes and her lush lips. “Please, baby? I'll do whatever you want. I'll give you … I'll give you everything … you need from me …” Jason gripped her chin in hand, smirking at the glazed look in her eyes as he continued pumping his fingers in and out of her.
“Already? I thought I taught you better than that,” he chastised her softly, brushing his thumb along her lips. He curled his fingers against her walls, then pulled them out of her entirely, bringing them to his mouth to lick them clean. X let out a frustrated squeak of disappointment at the sudden absence of him, then stomped her foot on the ground as she huffed in irritation.
“Jason Peter Todd!” she exclaimed, glaring at him in a way that was too adorable for him to take seriously. “You … I'm gonna kill you. I'm gonna kill you, Jason. I'm gonna …” Her eyes fell to his centre, to the part of him that she wa so desperately craving for right now, her poor little p*ssy throbbing with desire for him.
“I'm gonna f*ck you,” she continued, her body heating up again at the thought. “I'm gonna pin you down and cuff you to your bed and then have sex with you over and over again until I say we're done.” The railing rattled again as she pulled against her handcuffs and Jason grinned at the very thought. He grabbed her chin again and stepped all the way up to her so that she was forced to tilt her head back to look up at him. Then he raised an eyebrow at her.
“I’d like to see you try, princess.” He flicked her chin and she gritted her teeth as her head fell forward, her stomach flipping over at the look he’d given her. Ugh! Why did he have to be so unfairly hot?! She twisted her body around, struggling to hide her exposed chest from him, but he grabbed onto her hips and held her in position. He brought his mouth to her neck and nudged her head back so he had more room to brush his lips down her throat. He groaned against her skin and nipped at her collarbone, then got down on his knees before her. She yelped as he pulled her pants down to her ankles. He grinned up at her naughtily and held her gaze as he spread her legs apart. She widened her eyes and shook her head at him, pressing her lips together to muffle the groan that fell from them when he pressed his lips to her folds and licked a line up her centre.
“Hmm,” she whined, keeping her jaw screwed shut as he pressed soft kisses to her folds. Shiiiiit, he was good. He chuckled against her as he pulled her folds into his mouth and dribbled his tongue along her length, and she felt her brain go numb at the feeling.
“... how long you were planning it. What else do you have planned for me?” She barely heard him speak through the haze of pleasure he was drowning her in, his lips and teeth grazing against her clit, his tongue flicking out occasionally to dip into her entrance.
“Huh? What?” she mumbled, hissing at the feeling of his tongue plunging into her and brushing against her walls. He groaned against her, delighting in the taste of her, and she shuddered at the vibrations running through her core. “Shit.” He continued rolling his tongue against her, pushing and stroking her until she was right at the edge, waiting to fall … Then he pulled out of her, snatching her orgasm away from her.
“Ah! Jay!” she whined, the tears starting to build behind her eyes as her body begged her for relief. He stood up and cupped her cheeks in his hands, pouting at her in amusement.
“Aww! Is my little Nightingale upset?” he teased her, using her vigilante name. “You wanted me to make you come, baby? Hmm?” She nodded pleadingly, a desperate look on her face, and he pressed a quick kiss to her lips. “Then tell me what else you’ve been planning, sweetheart: I know all about your little pastime you’ve been hiding.”
Her eyes widened in alarm at his revelation, her lips parting with a gasp. “W-What … What are you talking about, Jay?”
“Your fanfics, sweetheart,” he elaborated, starting to undo his belt and pants. “What other ideas have they given you?” She gulped, her stomach roiling with nerves at how many of her dirty little secrets he’d discovered: sure, he was her boyfriend, but there were still some things she was entitled to her privacy about.
“Um, I … I …” she trailed off as he pulled his c*ck out of his pants, the tip red and swollen for her already. He tipped her chin up to his, bringing her attention back to his face.
“Eyes up here, princess,” he chuckled, bringing his c*ck to her p*ssy and dragging it along her soaked folds. She let out an extended whimper, her body shaking at the feeling of his tip tracing her clit. He grinned and slipped himself inside of her, then began thrusting himself into her nice and slow, his arms coming around her waist as his head fell against her shoulder. He groaned as he pressed a kiss to the side of her neck, his tongue licking a path up her neck until he reached her ear and bit on it. He snickered as she let out another yelp, then moaned against her, his nails dragging along her back as he continued moving his hips against hers. “Mmm, shit, baby.”
She felt so good, her warm and wet walls pulling him in and squeezing him tight. And her breasts? Her soft breasts bouncing against his chest as he pumped himself in and out of her? He pulled back from her slightly so he could see her lovely, round tits, then he bent over to pull them into his mouth, a satisfied moan escaping his throat as he licked and sucked on her.
Oh, god. She couldn’t decide whether to focus on the feeling of his c*ck sliding in and out of her, or his balls pressing up against her ass as he lifted one of her legs to wrap it around his waist, or the way he arched her lower back so he could keep nibbling and sucking on her breasts like he was trying to eat her up. The metal rattled behind her as she writhed and squirmed against him, her bare ass pressing into the railing as he sped up his movements.
“Mmm, X,” he murmured, his teeth grazing her nipple as he grinned around her breast. He gave her a last hard suck, then straightened to look at her, his hips ceasing their thrusts unexpectedly. She panted heavily as she waited for his next question, her p*ssy dripping and pulsing around his c*ck desperately.
He gripped onto the railings, trying to focus his thoughts on anything other than the way her p*ssy was begging for him so sweetly. F*ck, he had to get this over with - he didn’t think he’d be able to hold on any longer, despite all of his bravado and swagger. “Tell me … what other ideas … you picked up from your stories.”
She inhaled a shaky breath, the feeling of his thick c*ck nestled inside of her distracting her from everything else. “Uh, um … There was … this one … roleplay thing … I wanted to try.”
She hung her head as she said it, her pretty eyes peeking up at him nervously from beneath her eyelashes as she waited for his response. F*ck, she was cute. But roleplay?! Shit.
“What kind of roleplay?” he asked her, intrigued. She bit her lip, her fingers curling around the railing as her p*ssy clenched around his c*ck again.
“Um, a Red Hood one?” she replied, her tone uncertain. “Where you … Where you kind of trick me? Into having sex with you while you’re still in your costume?” F*************ck. He had to stop her from reading those filthy stories, his sweet little girlfriend. He didn’t want her to get corrupted like that - that was his job. But shit. A roleplay? Where he took advantage of her while in his costume? F*ck - he wished he’d thought of that.
“You want me to trick you?” he asked her, brushing his lips and tongue along her neck. “You want me to f*ck you in my Red Hood costume? Is that what you want, princess?” He pulled her hips against his and began thrusting himself into her again, faster this time. She nodded dazedly, her head flopping over as the pleasure overwhelmed her.
“B-But … I want … to see your face … Jace,” she forced out, her stomach tightening in preparation for the contractions about to wrack it. “I want to kiss you.” He bit his lip at that, at how much she loved him, his lovely little girlfriend. Then he pressed his lips to hers, sliding his tongue in between them and kissing her hard as she pumped himself in and out of her.
“I’ll kiss you,” he growled in between kisses, holding her tight against him as she shuddered and shook in his arms. “I’ll kiss you … as much as you want me to … princess.” He bit her lip as she came, then lowered his head to her shoulder, groaning at the feeling of her clenching his d*ck. He held on a little longer, just until she was almost done having her pleasure, then he let himself go, releasing his load into her, his warm c*m dripping out of him and coating her walls. He stayed inside of her for a bit, letting her p*ssy keep him warm while he finally uncuffed her so she could wrap her arms around his neck and cling onto him. Then he slid himself out of her and picked up his jacket, wrapping her up in it and pulling her pants back up along the way.
“Now we can go home, sweetheart.” He grinned and lifted her up onto his hips, calling for his bike so he could just drive the both of them home.
“J-Jason …” X called to him softly, her chest still heaving with shallow breaths.
“Yes, princess?” he asked her, pulling out his grappling hook.
“Don't ever do that again,” she mumbled into his neck, thoroughly exhausted. “Or I'll steal all your clothes and make you run around Wayne Manor butt naked.”
He laughed at the thought, but knew she'd hold him to it if she really had to. It was one of the many reasons he'd fallen in love with her, after all.
“Whatever you say, princess.”

Blu i have a question.
So in the gameshow host au theres one thing that im curious about if every time that a contestant dies they have like a little commercial break. Like idk why they would have it but like i just think it would be' funny to see a person dying and then a frickin commercial break.
The usual answer is that there are no commercial breaks in this show
But now you really got me thinking how funny it is to see one after death.
Imagine you're a loved one who witnessed the contestant's secrets spilled out until he gets tortured and executed to death for losing, you're so devastated, probably felt so betrayed while about to go into sobbing and grieving until you hear a
"Have you ever struggle to read because of the lack of skills in the reading comprehension? Well fret not! Now we got Screaming Books! They will scream out the words to you to make sure you don't miss a single thing. It's much better than audible! @:D"
They'll be the most bizarre, unrealistic, and weirdest commercial ever
Wally is most likely the one talking in here too

Abraham’s Son by Satine89 - this has been a WIP since 2014 but recently updated and OP said they’re planning on finishing by this year so for sure it is a worthwhile read. hunger games au, kyle is a capitol traitor banished to district 12, eric is the 47th games’ victor. kyle and bebe get chosen as this year’s tributes and have to deal with the fear of dying and trying to continue the fight started by eric the year prior. a lot of sad shit happens but it is goooood. very much recommend. // 57,158 23/28 chapters
something about the chase by grossalien- drag cartman au. i LOVE drag cartman. // 11,299, two oneshots
the “Im with stupid” series by numbknee - established kyman relationship. kyle and cartman have only just gotten together and try to navigate their new relationship and the shit that comes with it (plus the crazy way they got together in the first place 😭). it’s just cute and i like it. // four oneshots, 46,099
kyle isn’t anything by suzie_tempest - end of high school romance au. kyle is discovering himself and what he wants right before graduation. cartman plays a big role in that self discovery. it’s rlly cute i like it. // 89,801 12/14 chapters
be still my (virtual) heart by mewtwos - college au. this is for the losers out there who agree with me that the main 4 are losers too and need to be portrayed as such more often in fan works 🙌 kyle is a little rich boy at college who’s completely normal except for the fact that he’s in a parasocial relationship with a v-tuber named erica chan (you’ll never guess who it is 😳) . he’s gotta work on a school project with cartman. the sexting between erica chan and kyle is excruciating and that’s what makes it so good. i love this one and hope it gets more updates in the future cus it’s so funny. // 18,802, 4/? chapters
it was destiny anyways by galaxy_friday17 - i am not a big fantasy person and not into lore heavy fics but this one was rlly frickin good 🥳 was i confused half the time? yes, but it’s my fault cus i’m the type who skims through long paragraphs if there’s no romance 😭 it’s a stick of truth au, angsty as hell with multiple time skips. i recommend // 53,847 19/19 chapters
It could be wrong, could be wrong (But it should've been right) by grossalien - this follows tweek and craig’s povs but it is a kyman fic. basically tweek and craig accidentally become the last straw that ruined kyle and cartman’s first date and cartman haruhi suzumiya’s himself and everyone around him into a time loop until the date goes well. only tweek and craig are aware of the loop and are forced to make the date go well if they want to leave the time loop. it’s rlly good and rlly funny. // 19,843, 6/6 chapters

put out the fire on us by i_already_forgot - i don’t like to recommend unfinished fics bc i don’t wanna get someone disappointed but this fic is genuinely too good to not be recommended. kyle and cartman get pranked by clyde and they accidentally get handcuffed, fall down a waterfall and get stranded in the woods 🤷‍♀️ it’s funnier if i don’t elaborate. they gotta survive and make it out and their friendship develops and it’s so cute and i love it. if op ever posts another chapter i will be jumping up and down. // 139,167, 11/? chapters
if i were honest with you by creamdream98 - imma be fr, this is my fave kyman fic ever. probbo one of my fave fics of all time. i starting reading it from the first chapter and i was SEATEDD for every update. it’s a regular high school au but sum abt it is just so endearing and sweet and makes you root for eric and kyle. like the kiss scene made me audibly cheer out loud. basically cartman is a freak and bc he’s in love with kyle draws weird drawings of him in his notebook AT SCHOOL (i would NEVERRR). stan catches him one day and makes a deal with him that if cartman helps him get wendy, he’ll help cartman get kyle. it’s adorable i’ve reread it like 10 times. highly recommend if you’re into that sorta thing. // 150,655, 19/19 chapters

we could be more | dean winchester | 7
Tumblr media
Summary: Ivonne Rainer was practically a trained killing machine. Stripped to the bone then built back up by her father in order to become one of the best, like he was. She was forced into hunting when she was nineteen, having developed powers that couldn’t be explained. That is, until she was paid a visit by Azazel’s lackey. Her powers were gone, she needed help, and that’s when she found her father’s journal. Pointing to Sam and Dean Winchester.
SERIES MASTERLIST
NO EXIT
ᴺᴼᵂ ᴾᴸᴬᵞᴵᴺᴳ : LOVE ME LIKE YOU DO - ELLIE GOULDING
“Alright, jellybean, today’s important.” Dad loaded his gun, both of us in the woods. “Cause today, you’re learning one of the most important lessons I’ll ever teach you.” 
“Yeah?” I asked, also loading my gun.
“There’ll come a time when you’ll be the target of something.” He continued, looking down at me. “And that time may be the moment where it’s the first time that you can’t defend yourself. You could be bound and gagged in a chair in the middle of nowhere, or being tortured or even possessed by something. It’s how you get out of it that counts.” 
“How will I train for that?” 
“Easy.” He clapped me on the shoulders. “I’ll be attacking you. If I come into your sight, don’t hesitate. Shoot, because I’ll be wearing a bulletproof vest.” 
“A-Are you-“
”What do I always say?” 
“Hesitating is for losers.” We said at the same time, and we fist bumped. 
“And we’re winners.” I smirked. 
“Attagirl.” Dad grinned. He disappeared off, so I cocked my gun, holding it out. I heard a twig snap, so I wheeled around in that direction, but there was nothing. Then I whipped around, shooting and hitting Dad in the chest. He fake died, groaning stupidly. “Oh, it hurts! I think I’m dying! Jellybean, why did you shoot your own father…”
”You asked me to.” I giggled.
”I know. Still hurts like hell, though.” He got up and gave me a tenner. “That’s my daughter. If the guy’s asking for it, strike him.”
Tumblr media
”What’s up with you?” I fumed, staring right into Dean’s soul. “After the Weber incident, you haven’t had the respect to look me in the eye.” 
“I don’t need to explain myself to you.” Dean retorted, turning around. 
“Sorry, honey, but ya do. My house, my rules.” 
“My reasons, my rules!” 
“I want to know what this is. If you think my ear is your fault-“
”It is my damn fault, Ivonne!” He burst out, facing me again. 
I scoffed. “Guilt? That’s what’s keeping you from having some common, human decency?” 
“I couldn’t keep myself in check and that’s why you almost died!” 
“I almost died cause of frickin’ Weber, alright?!” 
“Who was controlling me-“ 
“I made that choice!” 
“I’m meant to protect you-“ 
“I made that choice, Dean!” I cried out, stepping forward. “I chose to point that gun at myself, not let you aim it at yourself.” 
“Why?!” 
“Because I CARE!” I yelled. “Pointing your gun at my chest or ramming a car with my own are both funny ways of showing it, but I care. Sammy cares about you. Ellen and Jo care about you. John cared. You’ve done so much for me, Dean. I’m not letting that go to waste.” I sighed, running a hand through my hair. “Damn it, Dean. I know you’re trying to protect me, but I’ve also been trained as hard as you have. A nick on the ear isn’t gonna kill me.”
”What if, one day, the nick moves a few inches, huh?” He ticked his jaw, looking at the graze on my right ear. “If it hits bang in the middle of your forehead next time?” 
“It won’t, I promise you.” 
“You can’t promise that.” His voice broke, sitting down on the sofa and burying his face in his hand. “You can’t- I’ve already lost Mom. And Dad. I’m not gonna let anybody kill Sammy, but you run into danger so often that if you die I might not be there to save you. Truth be told, my heart dropped out of my chest when you crashed the Corvette into the car Sammy was in. I knew you’d make sure the kid would be ok, but you wouldn’t be once you’d crashed the car. And there I was, tied up, not able to save you. And when Sammy pulled you out and you had cuts on you and you were bleeding, unconscious, I really, for a moment, thought you were dead.” He started crying, and I immediately walked up to him, letting him rest his forehead on my shirt as he sobbed quietly. 
“I really appreciate what you’re doing, Dean.” I whispered. “I probably wouldn’t be alive without you.” 
Tumblr media
“Where?” I asked as we pulled up at the roadhouse. 
“Los Angeles, California.” Dean replied as we got out of the car. 
“What’s in L.A?” Sam mused, all of us striding towards the roadhouse. 
“Girl’s been kidnapped by an evil cult.”
”Has the girl got a name, Dean?” I smirked. 
“Katie Holmes.”
Sam laughed. “That’s funny.” We stopped, hearing breaking glass and shouts. 
“On the other hand…“ Dean chuckled, “catfight.” We entered, seeing Jo and Ellen duking it out. 
“I am your mother, I don't have to be reasonable!” Ellen yelled. 
“You can’t keep me here!” Jo shouted back. 
”Oh, don’t count on that, sweetie.”
”What are you going to do, are you going to chain me up in the basement?” 
“You know what, you've had worse ideas than that recently. Hey, you don't wanna stay, don't stay. Go back to school.” 
“I don’t belong there! I was a freak with a knife collection.”
”Yeah, and getting yourself killed on some dusty back road, that's where you belong?!” Ellen saw us, and she looked mad. “Boys, Ivvy, bad time.”
”Yes, ma’am.” Sam nodded. 
Dean chuckled awkwardly. “We don’t usually drink before ten anyway-“
”No.” Jo refused. “I want to see what they think.” 
“Ivy, what do you say?” Ellen barked, making me look up. 
“Why me?” I squeaked. 
“Cause you know us best.” 
“Fine. Uh, my honest opinion? I think that Jo coming is a good idea.” 
“You don’t know us best.” 
“Look.” I took Ellen to the side. “I understand your point. But Jo is 25, you can’t keep her here forever. Besides, Anthony trained her for field work, why not let her do it? Just to be clear, I’m not to be blamed for any injuries.” 
“She’s my daughter, Ivonne.” 
“So the decision is ultimately yours. I’m giving you my opinion.” 
“Good.” 
“I gotta admit. We hit the road for a lot less.” We heard Sam say. 
“Good. You like the case so much, you take it.”
”Mom!” Jo protested. 
“Joanna Beth, this family has lost enough. And I won't lose you too. I just won't.”
Tumblr media
“I kind of feel bad, snaking Jo’s case.” Sam grimaced as we scanned the apartment for EMF. 
“Yeah, maybe she put together a good case.” Dean scoffed. “But do you see her working one of these? I didn’t think so.” 
“Let’s focus on the job.” I sighed, rolling my eyes. “I’m working with idiots.”
”Have you got anything?” 
Sam shook his head. “No. Not yet.” I found the light switch, which had a gooey black substance oozing from it. 
“Boys.” I touched it, rubbing it. “That’s ectoplasm.”
They came to see it, and Sam was instantly confused. Dean, however, “Well, Sam, Beanie, I think I know what we're dealing with here. It's the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man.”
“What I don’t get is that you’d need to be an extremely angry ghost to produce this stuff.” I clicked my tongue. “I’ve seen it five times before, the first 8 years ago.”
”All right, let's find this badass before he snags any more girls.” We left, but heard voices and hid around a corner, but I smirked once I realised who it was. 
“It's so convenient.” Jo, you brilliant little-
“Yeah, it's a great building, fixed it up real nice. All the apartments come furnished, too.” The landlord replied, sounding quite pleased. 
“It is so spacious. You know, my friend told me I absolutely have to come check it out, and I have to admit, she was right. You did a really good job with this place.” 
“What the hell are you doing here?” Dean hissed, emerging from our hiding spot. Sam and I came out in turn. 
“There you are, honey.” Jo put her arm around Dean’s waist, looking up at him with puppy eyes. “This is my boyfriend Dean, his buddy Sam and my best friend and Sam’s girlfriend Ivonne.” I am? Sam and I shared a look, then Sam put his arm around my waist, kissing my temple to sell it. 
“Good to meetcha. Quite a gal you've got here.” The landlord smiled. 
“Yeah, she’s a pistol.” Dean gave a forced smile. Did he just smack her- 
“So, did you already check out that apartment? The one for rent.” Jo asked.
“Oh, yeah. Great flow.” 
“How’d you get in?” The landlord frowned. 
“It was open.” I replied smoothly.  “Now, Ed, um, when did the last tenant move out?” 
“Oh, about a month ago. Cut and run, too. Stick me for the rent.” 
“Well. Her loss, our gain!” Jo grinned cheerfully. “'Cause if Dean-o loves it, it's good enough for me.” 
“Oh, sweetie.” Dean grinned. Did he just smack her again on the- 
“We’ll take it.” Jo pulled out a wad of money, handing it to the landlord.
“I'll flip you for the sofa.” Jo challenged Dean as we walked into the apartment. 
“Does your mother even know you're here?” Dean scoffed. 
“I told her I’m going to Vegas.” 
“You think she’s gonna buy that?”
”I’m not an idiot. I made Ash lay a credit card trail all the way to the casinos.”
”You know, you shouldn't lie to your mom. Shouldn't be here either.” 
“Well, I am. So untwist your boxers and deal with it.” I smirked at Sam; Dean’s rarely talked to that way.
”Where'd you get all that money from, anyways?” Sam asked. 
“From working. At the roadhouse.” 
“Hunters don’t tip that well.” Dean scoffed. 
“But she does.” Jo nodded to me. 
“Hey, so that was all of the money from the times I tipped you?” I raised an eyebrow. 
“Every penny.” 
Dean got a call from Ellen, which he picked up. “Yeah. Oh, hi, Ellen.” He put his hand over the mic.  “I’m telling her.” The two had a muttered argument, until Dean put the phone back on his ear. “I haven’t seen her. Yeah, I’m sure. Absolutely.” Dean hung up the phone, and Jo smiled sweetly at him. Then I got the phone call. 
I put my phone to my ear. ‘Do you know where she is?’
”I’m doing fine, Ellen, thanks for asking.” 
‘Alright, I get it. Have you seen Jo?’ 
“I just saw you have this conversation with Dean. No, I haven’t.”
‘She says she’s gone to Vegas. I call shenanigans.’
“And you have every right to. But if I do happen to run into Jo, then I’m gonna bring her back as fast as I can, yeah?” 
‘You better.’ 
“Alright, bye.” I cut the call. “Crisis averted. For now.” 
“Thanks, Ivvy.” Jo smiled. 
“It’s ok. Sam, honey?” I turned to Sam, who looked up. 
“Yes, love?” He replied with a grin. 
“Why don’t we leave these two alone to their own devices. Maybe go on a date.” 
“Sounds like a plan.” We linked arms and left the other two  alone.
Tumblr media
We were walking through town, sightseeing while Jo and Dean sorted through their problems. 
“Ivy, I want to ask you something. It’s been on my mind for a while.” Sam started as we both ambled down the street. 
“Yeah?” I replied. 
“Do you ever miss your family?” I bit my lip in thought. “You’ve only talked about them once or twice.” 
“More than anything, Sam.” I smiled. “It doesn’t seem like it a lot of the time, but I’d give anything to bring them back. I was considering performing necromancy to bring them back before I lost my abilities. Or maybe making a deal with a demon and giving myself up to let them live. But no, all I can do is run.” 
“You’re doing the best you can.” He assured. “And I think the best option is running until we figure out what a ‘drop of love’ is.” 
“Yeah, I even melted some candy and put it on the rune to see if that would work.” 
“You did what?” 
“Everybody loves candy.” 
“I’ll help you find what it means.”
“Thanks, Sam.” 
Tumblr media
I was with Jo, looking through the case files. 
“So, no other possibilities?” I asked, looking up. 
“None. Worst death was a janitor slipping on a wet floor.” 
“Yeesh, sounds enough to cause a haunting.” I joked. “May I also add, ‘there you are, honey’?” 
“Can we change the subject?” Jo deflected, blushing. 
“Oh, no, we’re not. The way you look at him, geez, you might as well be dragging him to a secluded corner-“ 
“I did what I had to!” 
“You did what you wanted to.” I smirked. “I know the difference. And, to mask it, say that Sam and I are dating. He’s way taller than me and therefore looks older, but really? I’m a set four years older.” 
“You have to appreciate my quick thinking skills.” 
“Do I?” I raised an eyebrow. “You used the money which I gave you to buy an apartment. Which, may I add, is in a haunted building.” 
“I’ll pay you back!” 
“We’ll be 40 by then.” I scoffed. “Could’ve bought another safe house with that money.” 
“How many safe houses will you have?” 
“You can never be too sure.” I shrugged. “Plus, I own them, so I don’t have to worry about rent.” 
“Bills?” 
“I pay them the day before I get there.” I pulled out my computer, logging in. I clicked on one of Dad’s logs, tapping the table. 
“What’s that?” 
“I had some suspicions about if the key to getting rid of my seal was in one of Dad’s video logs. He could know something.” 
“Your dad?” 
“He’s always had an answer to almost every problem, a solution to every issue. If anyone will know what breaks the curse, it’s him.” 
“And if he doesn’t have the answer?” 
“I’ll live.” I shrugged. “Until the dreamwalker comes back. By then, if I don’t have my powers, I’m done for.” 
“You’ve fought it three times.” 
“But it gets stronger.” I retorted. “It possessed Dean when he was half-asleep, so it’s not long before it turns into full on demonic possession.”
”So then what?” 
“Kill it or be killed.” 
“Dean doesn’t think I can do this.” She sighed. “I’ve been trained and everything, but I think he’s being a chauvinist.” 
“What makes you think that?” 
“Well, the whole ‘sweetheart’, ‘you can’t do this’ jazz.” 
“Why d’you think I’m here, then?” I shrugged. 
“Because you’ve proven that you’re capable of doing the job. You’ve been hunting for 8 years, been trained for more and you’ve saved his butt many times.” 
“Exactly. Prove to him that you can do the job, then he’ll shut up. Or take you out to dinner.”
Dean woke up, groaning. Jo and I shared a look. 
“Morning, princess.” Jo smirked. Dean sat up, looking around with bleary eyes. 
“Where’s Sam?” He wheezed, running a hand through his hair. 
“Getting coffee.” I got up, holding a hand out. “C’mon, Sleeping Beauty. It looks like you need one.” He took it, letting me haul him up. 
“Ugh. My back. How'd you two sleep on that big, soft bed?” 
“We didn’t, Grandma, so you can ask Sam that.” I chuckled. “We’ve been going over everything.” I took out Carl, asking him to draw pictures of the building and areas around it from the past. Dean took out a Bowie knife, holding it out to Jo. 
“Here.” 
“What’s this for?” Jo asked. 
“Work a hell of a lot better than that little pig-sticker you're twirling around.” She handed him his knife, and I exhaled, waiting. 
“William Anthony Harvelle.” 
“Sorry. My mistake.” He handed her knife back, sheathing the Bowie. 
“What do you.. what do you remember about your dad? I mean, what's the first thing that pops into your head?” 
“I was six or seven, and uh, he took me shooting for the first time. You know, bottles on a fence, that kind of thing. I bulls-eyed every one of 'em. He gave me this smile, like... I don't know.” 
“He must have been proud.” 
“What about your dad?” 
“I was still in pigtails when my dad died, but I remember him coming home from a hunt. He'd burst through that door like, like Steve McQueen or something. And he'd sweep me up in his arms, and I'd breathe in that old leather jacket of his. And my mom, who was sour and pissed from the minute he left, she started smiling again. And we were... we were a family. You wanna know why I want to do the job? For him. It's my way of being close to him. Now tell me what's wrong with that.” 
“Nothing.” 
“Ivvy?” I looked up from the laptop, glancing between the two of them. “What d’you remember of your dad?” 
“He was barely there when I turned 18, but yeah, a lot. There was a cabin in the woods that we’d visit every weekend. Here, I have a video that’ll probably give you an idea of him better than I can.” I opened up a video, turning the laptop around. “I’m not great at talking about Dad.” 
Tumblr media
My dad was sitting with me on the sofa. I was 14 at the time, and my mum walked in, recording everything with a giggle. 
“Shh, Audrey, don’t come closer.” Dad put his finger to his lips. 
“Why?” My mom chuckled, stepping closer. 
“She’s asleep.” The camera panned to me, a freckled young girl who was asleep with a book on supernatural creatures on my lap, open to the page of sirens. “She fell asleep when I was explaining siren lore.” 
“Who wouldn’t?” She laughed, “Should we get her to bed?” 
“No, that’s gonna wake her up, being the light sleeper she is.” Dad smiled down at me. “I think- I think I’m gonna stay with her. I’ve been workin’ her too hard, I think. Plus, I want to stay with my daughter. Are Carter, Quinn and Lily asleep?” 
“Like a rock.” 
“A’ight, then, you can nod off in peace.” A tear dropped down his face, and Mom sighed. 
“Mike, honey, what’s wrong?” 
“My jellybean’s growin’ up too fast.” He chuckled, smoothing down my hair. “I remember her first day at kindergarten, huggin’ my leg and tellin’ me that she wanted to stay home. Now she’s fourteen, and she can empty and load a gun faster than I could at her age.” Dad kissed my hair, tucking my blanket further over me. “She’s gonna be such a great woman when she grows up. God knows I’m gonna have to defend ‘er from the boys askin’ for her hand in marriage. I’ve even got my gun ready for her. Cause I know she’ll be ready way before she’s eighteen.” 
“Let’s start with the boy defending, shall we, honey?” 
“Sure, sweetheart.” Dad grinned, then kissed my hair again. “I’ll always be here by your side, jellybean. I promise.” 
Tumblr media
“That’s my dad in a nutshell.” I sighed, closing the video. 
“He seems like a great man.” Dean nodded. “You got raised right.” 
“Then again, I wish I knew him better. I knew him well enough, but not enough.” 
Sam burst through the door, carrying four coffees. “There are cops outside. Another girl disappeared.” 
“I’ll check it out.” Dean got up, thanking Sam and taking the coffee before walking out the door. 
We were studying the notes, while Carl was still drawing the landscape. 
“Teresa Ellis, Apartment 2F. Boyfriend reported her missing around dawn.” Dean announced, walking in. 
“And her apartment?” Jo asked. 
“Cracks all over the plaster, walls, ceiling. There was ectoplasm, too.” 
“Well, between that and that tuft of hair I'd say this sucker's coming from the walls.” Sam deduced, tapping his pen on the table. Carl slid the paper to me, tapping on it. I picked it up, frowning. 
“Yeah, but where is it coming from? The building’s history is clean.” 
“It is, I’ll give it that.” I clicked my tongue. “But we’re lookin’ in the wrong place.” I showed them the paper. “Got Carl to draw this up for me.” 
“What do you mean?” 
“Look at this.” I tapped it. 
“An empty field?” Sam frowned. 
“No, look at the building next to it. Windows… aren’t really windows.”
”They’re bars.” 
“This used to be next to a prison?” Dean realised. 
“Ivy, you genius.” Jo laughed. 
“Yep. And, doing a quick bit of research…” I sat down, typing. “Okay. Moyamensing prison. Built in 1835, torn down in 1963. And get this. They used to execute people by hanging them in the empty field next door.” 
“Now we need a list of those executed.” Sam breathed in relief. 
“Already on it.” I entered, then clicked my tongue. “157 people. We’re gonna have to narrow that list down. Hey, Carl?” Carl sprang up, flying over. “Narrow this list down, please and thank you.” Carl tapped the down arrow a few times, then wrote down a name on my hand, which I had offered to him. “Herman Webster Mudgett. Wasn’t that H. H. Holmes’s real name?” 
“You've gotta be kiddin' me.” Dean breathed. 
“I wish I was.” I chuckled cynically. “It’s true. Homes was executed at Moyamensing on May 7th, 1896.” 
“H. H. Holmes himself. Come on, I mean, what are the odds?” Sam scoffed. 
“Who is this guy?” Jo asked. 
“The term ‘mass murderer’.” I explained. “Holmes was convicted in the 1800s, widely considered to be the origin of the term ‘serial killer’. Before America even knew what a serial killer was.” 
“Yeah, he confessed to twenty seven murders, but some put the death toll at over a hundred.” Sam added. 
“And his victim flavour of choice? Pretty petite blondes.” Dean grimaced. “He, uh, he used chloroform to kill 'em. Which is what I smelled in the hallway last night. At his place, cops found human remains, bone fragments, and long locks of bloody blonde hair.” He turned to Jo. “Boy, you sure know how to pick 'em.” 
“Well, we just find the bones, salt 'em and burn 'em, right?” Jo gulped. 
“Well, it's not that easy. His body is buried in town, but it's encased in a couple tons of concrete.” Sam sighed. 
“What? Why?” 
“The story goes that he didn't want anybody mutilating his corpse. 'Cause, you know, that's what he used to do.” Dean explained. 
“You know somethin'?” I frowned, tapping the table. “We might have an even bigger problem than that.” 
“How does this get bigger?” Jo groaned. 
“Holmes built an apartment building in Chicago. He called it the Murder Castle. The whole place was a death factory, they had, uh, trap doors, acid vats, quick line pits... he built these secret chambers inside the walls. He'd lock his victims in, keep them alive for days. Some he'd suffocate, others he'd let starve to death.” 
“So Teresa could still be alive. She could be inside these walls.” 
“We need sledgehammers, crowbars. We've got to smash these walls, anywhere thick enough to hide a girl.” Dean frowned.
“And we need bait.” I bit my lip. “The obvious choice would be Jo-“ 
“No, we’re not doing that.” 
“Let me finish.” I raised an eyebrow. “But… I think I should, uh, bust out Miss Boston again. Sans the accent.” 
“No.” Dean refused. “No, I’m not putting you in danger either, Beanie.” 
“If something happens, what are you gonna do, huh?” I retorted. “If I can find a way in there or protect Jo if something happens just to keep Ellen from skinning you alive, isn’t that worth it? And, if you haven’t noticed, neither of you will pass for a pretty blonde woman. You have no other choice, cause there’s no way in hell you two are gonna send Jo alone.” 
“Ivonne, please-“ 
“I’m doing this… Dean.” I gave him a look, and he gave me one back. 
“Dean, I think she should do it.” Sam vouched. 
“Plus, I’m gonna feel a lot safer if I’m captured and she’s there with me.” Jo nodded to me. 
“F-Fine.” Dean agreed reluctantly. 
Tumblr media
That’s how I ended up inside the walls of a hotel, wearing a blonde wig, with these two dorks. 
“Alright, Sam, call me when you’re done with the southeast wall.” I sighed, then cut the call. “Sam's almost done with the first floor. Hasn't found jack squat either.” We stopped. “What is it?” 
“It’s too narrow. We can’t go any further.” Dean replied. 
“Ya sure?” I scoffed, slipping past him. Jo started shimmying past him, a lot slower.
“Ugh. Shoulda cleaned the pipes.”
”What?” Jo blinked. 
“I wish the pipes were cleaner.” 
“Shut up.” 
I peered in the gap, casting a smug look to them. “We can fit in there.” 
“No. You’re not going in alone.” Dean refused. 
“She’s not alone.” I assured. “If anything happens, give me the heat, not Jo. Call me when you’ve lost sight of us.” We went through the gap, and soon after I got a call from Dean. 
‘Where are you?’ 
“Northside wall.” I found an air duct, so Jo and I climbed down. “We’re climbing down an air duct.”
‘No, no, no, no, stay up here.’
“We have to find Teresa, don’t we? We’re fine, Dean.” 
‘Alright, I’m heading to you.’  We emerged in a similar space to before, and I looked around for a moment. Ectoplasm started oozing out through cracks in the walls, and my heart went cold.
”Oh, God.” Jo whispered. 
“Dean, you listen to me.” I urged. “There’s ectoplasm, he’s-“ A hand grabbed Jo, making her scream out as she was almost dragged away by a rotten hand. 
‘Beanie?! IVONNE?!’ 
“GET AWAY FROM HER!” I yelled, firing a shot, but it missed and Jo was subsequently knocked out and dragged away. I looked around, ready to fire another shot as I breathed heavily.
‘IVONNE, TALK TO ME!’ 
“It’s got Jo, and it’s coming for me-“ I was grabbed and dragged through the vent, dropping my phone as I slid through, ending up on the other side. Jo was already unconscious and in a small box for a cell. 
“So pretty.” Holmes chuckled, staring at me creepily. “So beautiful.”
”Suck it.” I spat back, kicking him.
“You’re a fighter.” He smirked. “You’ll be fun to play with.” He rebounded off the wall, coming towards me and grabbing my arms, forcing me into a chair and clamping me down, grabbing me by the neck. “But you’ve got to be punished first.” He took a knife, making a cut almost surgically on my cheek, so slow it was almost torture. He then slashed it straight through my shirt and catching my stomach, making a not-so-deep cut, but still enough to hurt. 
“You sick monster.” I growled. “When I get out of these cuffs, I will-“
”Do what?” He scoffed, setting up a drip machine. “Don’t worry, darling, this won’t hurt. It’s just going to… numb… the pain.” 
“What the hell are you doing to-“ I cried out when he stuck the drip needle into my arm, twisting the valve and making the clear liquid drip down and into my arm. “I will shoot your sorry little butt, you hear me?!” 
“I don’t think you will be in much state to do that after this, sweetheart.” He whispered, caressing my cheek and spreading the blood. He grabbed a whip and hit me hard on the back, but I only felt the impact and not the pain. My head snapped sideways, feeling another impact there, and then I felt this pressure trail down both of my arms. “I think I’ll take a lock of your hair.” He tugged on my hair, but looked horrified when the wig came off. 
“I forgot to mention.” I smirked weakly, “I’m not blonde.” 
“How DARE you!” I felt a harsh slap on my cheek again, but the only reaction I had was a small exhale as I tasted blood, seeing some drop down on my jeans. “You’re going to sleep now, little bird.” I saw him leave, and the scene around me started spinning and becoming more blurry than the last time it spun, my head hanging forward as I felt weighted down towards the ground. My limbs went limp, a weak sigh leaving my  mouth as I tried to keep my eyes open. 
“Jo?” I said the best I could, but it came out as a whisper before I blacked out.
Tumblr media
I opened my eyes, coughing out some blood and finding more bruises on me than when I was last awake. 
“Is your name Teresa?” I heard Jo ask.
”Yes.” A person replied meekly.
”This won't make you feel better, but I'm here to rescue you. So is my friend, Ivy, she’s here somewhere.”
”I ain’t gonna do jack squat, Jo.” I replied hoarsely, almost like I was talking with a voice that wasn’t mine. “He’s sedated me pretty good. I can’t move or feel any pain.”
”Oh god. He's out there, he's gonna kill us!” Teresa cried. 
“No, he won't. We're getting out. My friends are looking for us, they'll find us.” Jo assured.
”HE’S COMING!”
”Shh, just be quiet!” I heard everything go silent, then I heard Jo scream just before Holmes returned with a chunk of blonde hair. 
“You may not be blonde,” He smirked, pulling my head back. “but you are pretty.”
”I’m flattered.” I spat, gritting my teeth. He sharply tugged, taking out a small bit of black hair. “I’ll be back.” He released the valve some more, making me lean my head back as I felt half-asleep, Jo’s next screams falling almost deaf on my ears, including a soft explosion noise. 
“You alright?” I heard Dean say, and I smiled extremely faintly, not feeling in control of any of my muscles. I couldn’t even feel them, if I was being honest. 
“Been better. Let's get the hell out of here before he comes back.” Jo replied. Thank god, she was safe.  
“Dean!” I heard Sam yell. “I found Ivy! Dear God.” I heard running, and saw four figures carved out in my blurry vision. 
“Beanie.” I heard Dean gasp. “BEANIE!” The drip in my arm was carefully pulled out, and my head was gently turned to face who I could make out to be Dean. He leaned his forehead on mine briefly, taking a look at me. “What’s that jackass done? Look at you- Sam, find a way to get these cuffs open.” 
“I fought him.” I whispered, coughing slightly. “I tried to fend him off, but-“
”Don’t you worry about that, we’re gonna get you to an ambulance.” Sam cracked the cuffs open, and Dean caught me as I fell forward, picking me up with one hand hooked under my knees and the other under my waist. 
“What did he do to her?” Teresa whispered. 
“She was trying to protect me.” Jo sobbed, covering her mouth with her hand.
”I’m sorry to do this right now, Jo, but…” Dean grimaced. “Remember when I said you being bait was a bad plan? Now it's kind of the only one we got.”
”I’m working a gun.” I groaned. 
“No, you’re not.”
”I am. I would tear him a new one, if I could.” 
Tumblr media
I was propped up by Sam, waiting with my gun ready. Jo was in the centre of the room, waiting. 
“Are you feeling better?” Sam whispered. 
“I wouldn’t be doing this if I wasn’t.” I replied quietly. 
“I’m asking cause you’re a stubborn son of a gun.”
”True.” 
“Now!” Dean yelled, and we emerged from hiding as Jo dived out of the way, all of us shooting at bags of salt around the room, which spilled to form a perfect circle. Holmes started screaming gibberish, storming around the circle.
“Scream all you want, but there's no way you're stepping over that salt!” Jo shouted, and Dean picked me up again so we could leave and seal that cell.
”Take that, Holmes.” I spat. 
Tumblr media
The last I heard of Holmes was that he was trapped by cement. Poetic. 
However, Ellen had flown in and now we were all experiencing an uncomfortable ride home. My head was resting on Sam’s shoulder, and he stroked my side to stop my trembling. 
“Well, you really weren’t kidding about flying out, huh?” Dean joked, but Ellen was stone cold. “How about we listen to some music?” He flicked the radio on, but then Ellen reached in and flicked it off. “This is gonna be a long ride.”
When we got back to the roadhouse, I was able to walk with barely any assistance (that being a walking stick), but still needed a watchful eye. Dean tried to vouch with Ellen. “Ellen? This is my fault. Okay? I lied to you and I'm sorry. But Jo did good out there, I think her dad would be proud.”
“Don’t you dare say that. Not you. Now, I need a word with my daughter. Alone.” Ellen dragged Jo inside, slamming the door behind her. A bit later, Jo emerged, looking mad. Dean followed after her, but she seemed to brush him off until she turned around and told him something that took him aback. I ambled towards her, frowning as Dean left. 
“What’s going on, Jo?” I asked. “Joanne Beth Harvelle, I know you better than you probably know yourself. What happened?” 
“The hunt that my dad got killed on? He had a partner that screwed up. That was John Winchester.”
I sighed. “I’m so sorry, Jo.”
”Can I blame them? Tell me I can.”
”You can’t.” I clicked my tongue. “But you feel like you have to, but you can only do that for so long. Just keep in touch, yeah?”
”Of course. I can’t stay away from you for long.” She smiled, hugging me. “Stay safe. Recover.”
”You know I will.” 
“I know you’ll get up on another hunt quickly.”
Tumblr media
Dean brought me water, sitting down at my feet of my bed. “Are you feeling better?”
”Much better.” I smiled. 
“Listen, Beanie-“
”Don’t do the thing where you blame yourself.” I held up a hand, sighing. “I made the choice to put myself down there, whether I was useless against Holmes or not. I may have saved Jo from getting hurt more than a few locks of hair pulled from her head.” 
“It doesn’t make up for Sam finding you looking like you’ve been to hell and back.” 
I took his hand. “My dad told me that there’ll come a time when you’ll be the target of somethin’. It could also be the time where I can’t defend myself. I could be bound and gagged to a chair in the middle of nowhere, tortured or even possessed, it’s just how I get out of it that counts. I wasn’t scared in that chair. For Jo and Teresa, yes, but you and Sam were lookin’ for us. I didn’t feel the need to worry.” 
“Even when he was hurting you?” 
“No. Cause that drug made me numb to it. Trust me, it hurts like hell right now, but it was worth it. Hell of a story.” I joked. “Tortured by H. H. Holmes himself.” 
“It is a hell of a story.” Dean grinned, hugging me. 
“Hey - ouch - watch out on the lacerations.” 
“But they’re everywhere.” 
“Touché.”

HI so I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your podcast and I listened to Wooden Overcoats because I heard you recommend it and now i absolutely love Wooden Overcoats!!! (Both finales had me making excited screaming noises and walking around in circles in my room while i liveblogged them to my girlfriend)
Do you have other recommendations in a similar vein?
Oh my goodness, sorry for the delay on this but YAY Wooden Overcoats! It's an absolute all-time fave of ours and needless to say there was much screaming in our household as well. Would die for Antigone Funn tbh.
As far as recs go, have you listened to Victoriocity? It's an alternate-Victorian-London mystery/comedy, and Tom Crowley (Eric Chapman from Wooden Overcoats) plays one of the leads. The theme song is so dramatic and catchy, it's got really snappy dialogue like Wooden Overcoats, the voice acting is across the board excellent, and we would die for Clara Entwhistle.
Some other recs, in case you haven't already checked these out:
Death by Dying: Super dark comedy about an obituary writer in a very odd town--some of our hardest laughs in any audio drama and a show that our writers quote on the DAILY
Wolf 359 and EOS10: Likely you've already listened to one or the other at this point, they're classics for a reason, but just in case you haven't--do it! These were two of our first intros to audio fiction and have been SUPER formative in teaching us how to write comedy and drama for the medium. Really great comedies that also do a fantastic job of sneakily getting you to care about the characters SO much.
Midnight Burger: Look, this show frickin rocks. Tight writing, incredibly clear character writing, just arrives from minute one with such a strong sense of tone and identity. If you like our show's vague Doctor Who vibes, there is literally no way you won't love the crew of Midnight Burger.
Mockery Manor: More of a mystery than outright comedy vibe, but the MUSIC! The SOUND DESIGN! The SETTING! It's a murder-mystery 80s show set at a theme park in the UK, with jingles left and right. We did in fact buy the soundtrack the day it became available, it's bangers beginning to end.
Brimstone Valley Mall: Speaking of music! A 90s comedy about a group of demons who work in a shopping mall and have a band. This ensemble is a frickin delight and we love a Hot Topic joke.
Two Flat Earthers Kidnap a Freemason: Full disclosure, our producer/Narrator, Lauren, is a voice actor on this, but we think if you like the satire of our show and our particular brand of morally grey protagonists, this one will be right up your alley. We'd tell you the plot but...it's kinda right there in the title, innit?
BONUS: If you have Audible or want to do some creative searching, we also highly recommend the BBC radio shows Bleak Expectations and Cabin Pressure--both incredibly funny and well-made audio sitcoms! These two shows were our gateway into audio fiction and remain the gold standard in our mind for comedy scripts that boast a frankly ridiculous joke-per-minute ratio.
We will likely add on shows from here as we think of them, but hopefully this gets you started with something that sounds fun!

Lol probably a bit of a useless rant but hey I want to talk about my journey it actually help.
Anyway it's been like what 2 months soon I know about the void and I just realized how easy it is to get a victim mindset and switching to a powerful god mindset.
Idk why i was crying, scratching, venting to my God (He was probably tired of my stupidity), screaming and depressing about not having my results but it's been like 1 week almost I never feels that confident in my life. I was always that little girl who was sure she's was not having luck in life but when I tell you I started getting confident in myself and my results.
It's started with my class I was new and honestly my class doesn't suck they are funny and calm, why ? Because I'm confident that I can manifest anything I want so I "Manifested" a funny and calm class and boom I got in a class that actually so suited for me.
Secondo, it's was my confidence. When I tell you I had no confidence months ago it's was pitying I was betting every God's out there were playing tricks on me but no lol just me bullying myself and not listening to them. I'm pretty confident now the only thing is my voice lol I'm sick and my voice sound like a dying hyena but no it doesn't. I just imagine I sound like frickin cute and honestly the illusion is working.
I just think people like me need to change their mindset drastically, I changed mine literally after a crying session about not having results. The morning just after I started affirming and just scripting my results and you know what ? They are here.
I don't care if the 3D is being a bit slow I have my results they are all here, even the one I forgot about every single one is here because I said so and it's not going to change because you and I are the god of our creation of our reality.
Now I just need to stop being lazy and enter the void state properly. I can have my results when I want I just think my 3D is a long dream and my 4D is the actual life. I'll be glad to update you on my journey more anyway have a great day and sorry for the poor English hehe.
Wow love, thank you VERY much for sharing your journey, it reminds me so much of how I started as well. I felt something while reading this, I can see that you decided to embody the best mentality you could and handled everything so well. Congrats!!! <333
I used to have a shitty self-perception and self esteem as well, so I relate to this a lot. I would cry myself to sleep and wonder, looking for a solution or an answer and it wasn’t until I changed my perspective that life started to work out in my favor. I’m so glad that you have your own identity right now and that you’re capable of achieving everything you want. This is truly amazing <333 you’re GOD. Ilysm for this, wish you the best of luck in ur future journey 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

LEGO On A Budget 2024 #6: 60400 Go-Karts and Race Drivers & 71428 Yoshi's Egg-cellent Forest
You'd be surprised to know- It seems as if we will end this series on exactly 10 blog posts. We've got 6 normal sets left to cover after this, then 4 more that I can only nab online. I didn't think it would go by this fast! Of course, i'll make new posts covering whatever comes out after March as well, though those will most likely be sporadic for a while, with LEGO's tactic of releasing most of their stuff in January and July and whatnot.
LEGO City - 60400 Go-Karts and Race Drivers
Tumblr media
God, this one. You wouldn't think 2 dinky karts would have 99 pieces total, but I suppose it does. It didn't particularly feel that way though. As you possibly could've guessed, both of these builds are close to identical. Why they felt the need to make two seperate manuals for both karts, I have no clue. They are VERY thin.
Tumblr media
Thankfully though, I actually do like the designs. I think the colors are more unique than a lot of what City has put out, especially the neon colored one. My personal bias also takes some joy in the small racing car builds in general, I think i've mentioned here before that I was a big Lego Racers kid in the 2000s. Been a bit since i've seen these small wheels that throw me back big time. Still, i'm not sure if this should've been a full set, this could've rather easily been two seperate polybags in my opinion.
LEGO Super Mario - 71428 Yoshi's Egg-cellent Forest
Tumblr media
And here we go. Wahoo. Yippee, mamma mia, let's a go. It's LEGO Sup Mama. The franchise I have the most embarrassing feelings for, after all, it's Super Mario Advance 2 that introduced me to non-PC gaming after all. I was never TOO interested in grabbing these sets untill now, but this set may have convinced me to change my mind.
Now there's some odd choices made with the way this one's been packaged. This is the *smallest* box i've yet seen so far, or at least it's among the smallest. And that whiie it's the first box with over 100 pieces contained inside AND has a pretty thick instruction book with 3 sacks included. Weird, makes it seem less significant while it's decently substantial. At least when compared to the frickin' Goomba's Shoe set.
Tumblr media
For what it IS though, hoo, this is a nice set. Building these Yoshis was verrry satisfying, they look great and have a good amount of heft. I am not sure if I like the fact I had to effectively do the same thing twice though (sound familiar?). The tree canopy and the egg top it all off to make it remarkably faithful to the funny hoohoo man's franchise, and pleasant to the eye and hands.
...If it wouldn't fall apart so damn easily. I had so much trouble lifting this one into my cabinet cuz the green piece that attaches the platforms together would keep getting loose, and more frustatingly, the Yoshi duo also wouldn't be too stable on their little stand pieces. That does put a bit of a damper on things, though I wouldn't call it a dealbreaker, moreso something you need to be mindful off when holding it in it's entirety.
Current rankings:
Go-Karts and Race Drivers is ultimately decent. It's not something I am dying to do again, I better hope there ain't another car set coming up, though it's got some merit in subtle ways, particularly those aforementioned unique colors. For that, it tops the 'lower tier', aka anything below the Fire Rescue Motorcycle.
Yoshi's Egg-cellent Forest (haaaaaaaaa) is certainly the most visually pleasing set, and hey, it's from a franchise I really hold close. I don't think it deserves top marks because of it's fragility and has you build the same thing twice. Gets pretty close though. This is gonna be the new number 4, beating out Mateo's Off-Road Car.
City - 60411 Fire Rescue Helicopter
Marvel - 76275 Motorcycle Chase: Spider-Man vs. Doc Ock
Ninjago - 71805 Jay's Mech Battle Pack
Super Mario - 71428 Yoshi's Egg-cellent Forest
DREAMZzz - 71471 Mateo's Off-Road Car
Friends - 42607 Autumn's Baby Cow Shed
City - 60401 Construction Steamroller
City 4+ - 60410 Fire Rescue Motorcycle
City - 60400 Go-Karts and Race Drivers
Friends - 42612 Cat Playground Adventure
Minecraft - 21251 Steve's Desert Expedition
City 4+ - 60399 Race Car
Time to climb back into Kruidvat's walls and get grabby with this new sale they're having. See ya next time!

I think funerals could fit on Pit if they’re done very sporadically, but I actually think the exes stuff feels too scripted for Pit. Same with pretty much everything else (I know funerals are completely scripted but it feels more natural to me). Smosh is scripted, Pit is unscripted and all those shows don’t fit anywhere. And that’s why I was never a huge fun either, those ones where they look through their fake search history make no sense to me. “Oh look, I’m going to pretend I looked up this random stuff on Google how funny!” I was never into it tbh. I am not into the sketches, but I was never into the Smosh content before that either. I’m completely okay with the main channel being just a sketch channel but I am okay with the rest of the content dying, I don’t want it in pit 🤷🏻‍♀️
We already have a designated EIOY day, TNTL day and Reddit stories day. I don’t want those precious shows to take up the rest of the days we have! I prefer challenge pit, Smosh theatre (if it comes back), who memed it and beopardy. I also like that they haven’t been doing any “game shows” in the game channel lately. Stan vs the Internet (I think that used to go there?) was fun like the first couple of times. I personally wouldn’t change a single thing about Pit and Games right now
Yeah Funeral Roasts really does fit with Pit content for sure. But for myself I actually loved those Blank is leaked so much. It's basically a playground for the writer to write an insane scenario then created them and let the cast tried to act as that thing is normal as much as possible. Which is what Patrick, Jeremy and Janie are so frickin good.
I think they might created another for Pit content tbh since both slot already occupied by TNTL/EIOYI and Reddit Stories now.

only Cherie would need another room just for planning. “Elias told you that Anthony had accepted every demand of your father.” Anthony Impatient™️ Bridgerton everyone lmao he just wants this over and done with like as soon as possible. he’s got tunnel vision, he just wants to marry Cherie no matter what. he’s not even reading anything. the settlement could have it in there that he has to sacrifice a kidney and he wouldn’t even second guess LMAO. 
“Anthony I have terrible news!” she almost gave Anthony a heart attack jfc ksksks why would she do that LMAO. “…That’s the terrible news?” YES ANTHONY IT IS. WHAT ELSE COULD IT BE??? i love how their worries are on different planets lmao. Anthony's terrible news is that Percy changed his mind and he would have to go to Gretna Green meanwhile Cherie...her veil not being finished on time, of course. but omg, this whole conversation just shows who’s the dramatic one and who’s the logical one on SOOOO many levels LMAAAO. the fact that she’s willing to sacrifice her frickin firstborn to church all for her veil and then Anthony just...gives a quick solution with no sweat at all. well, no sweat but a whole lot of Harlotness™️ that's for sure. he just can’t keep his hands to himself can’t he?? Obsessed Harlotness™️ Counter: Anthony - 1 | Cherie - 0
OH MY FUCKING GOD BWAHWJDSKJDAJVDHQKD ANTHONY WHAT !! IS !! IN !! YOUR !! POCKET?!?!?!? ALKSALSK HELP I CAN’T BWAHAHAHAHAHH it’s The Symbol of Whorism™️ Cherie, that’s what’s in his pocket. “Darling,” he said, somehow breathlessly. “You might want to stop moving.” SHE IS KILLING HIM AND SHE DOESN’T EVEN KNOOOOOW. Obsessed Harlotness™️ Counter: Anthony - infinity & beyond | Cherie - 0. he wins this chapter i’m sorry sklssks oh Benedict, idk if you’ve saved him or cockblocked him. both i think. LMAO he’s hiding it behind the desk i caaaan’t. this it too funny kskskss
TEN (10) !!! nightgowns?? why spend so much on that? when it’s going to end of on the floor either way??? alksalkslkasakslks sorry sorry. ANYWAYS THAT’S STILL SO MANY??? “Dear God, he will spoil you rotten.” i mean, isn’t she already?? ksksks Anthony’s already going above and beyond and they’re not even married yet. i mean in his eyes they already are but legally, not yet.
“It’s sheer.” well, you won’t be wearing it for long tho so there’s really nothing wrong with it sksks. i love how clueless she is. like, i really want a whole scene dedicated to her just realizing everything after their honeymoon just how clueless she’d been around Anthony and her just remembering every single innuendo Anthony hinted at her before. i can see her walking into his study all shocked saying, “You had too much fun with me asking you to take me to a brothel, didn’t you?” skskks it’s just too funny to think about. 
“It’s a nightgown for your honeymoon,” she reminded you. “What did you expect to wear? An actual gown?” oh Anthony would NOT like that skslsk i’m pretty sure he’d complain that there’s so many thing to undo and yada yada yada and he’ll get the scissors and Cherie would be so offended of him trying to hurt her gown and it’ll be a problem LMAO
“not to…rip easily. You know newlyweds.” AUNT LAVINIA SKSKSKSK tho i don’t think any type of fabric would stop Anthony The Obsessed Harlot™️ Bridgerton. if he wants it ripped, it will be ripped LMAO. “That Anthony won’t rip them off in the haste to get you out of them.” hmm, maybe an armor would do sksksk
“No, I don’t think Anthony wants to see me without my clothes on.” oh he’s been seeing/dreaming you without clothes on so i highly doubt he won’t want to see the real thing, i mean, Cherie, you saw his pocket earlier so LAKSLAKSLASK i know Cece is just DYING to tell her but it’s still two weeks out so patience <3
ugh. why is she here. she’s just ruined my mood completely. i won’t even name her. she’s not worth the effort to type lmao. “He might love you for now, yes. But that’s not the same as desiring you.” hmm, idk about you ma’am but your logic is a bit skewed. wanna know why?? bc you’re not getting both from your husband sooooooooo you don’t really have a say in that. UGH I HATE HER. SHE’S SUCH A JEALOUS BITCH AND I;M JUST CAN SHE FUCK OFF. she’s not even speaking the truth like my GOD. ask Anthony’s pocket, i’m sure it will prove his desires sksksksk (i’m sorry dee but i’m not going to let this pocket thing go it’s too funny)
“So I must ask. Should I send the invitation for you and your husband, or you, your husband and his mistress?” YES. YOU TELL HER!!! now THAT stung bc she knows it’s the TRUTH. “I hope it hurts.” omg.. does she mean like, the consummation? if so then :// bc she’s speaking from experience right? and like, i want to feel bad her but then. BUT BUT if she just means Cherie and Anthony's marriage in general then sorry ma’am, that ain’t happening. these two are far too in love unlike you.
but ugh, i hate how she’s just put those insecurities back especially when Cherie knows so little. like i’m sure everyone can see how much of a Cherie Whore™️ Anthony is with the way he just looks at her but she just thinks it’s admiration and love. and yes, it is, but it’s also Carnal Lust™️ and Desires™️ madam. Anthony loved you yes, but did he want you? YES. YES HE DOES. ASK HIS POCKET DAMMIT SKSKSK. tho i’m sure Anthony will be quick to reassure her of that.
“What happened?” he’s just so attentive aah i love him. like he just knows right away that something is bothering her.
“See through, you say?” ugh, Anthony will you stop thinking with your pocket for a second lmao. “Do you want me?” LSAKSLASKK SHE CAN’T JUST ASK THAT. god she’s going to kill him before the wedding idk what’s going to happen to him after LMAO. “I’ve never loved or desired anyone more in my life.” see??? “I’m nearly going insane here.” SEEE??? his pocket is about to Bust™️ LMAAAO but god this whole conversation is HILARIOUS. “I will enlighten you about that really soon.” oh god Anthony WHY DID U HAVE TO USE THAT WORD YOU WHORE™️??? we’re preparing for The Enlightenment™️ is that it then? that’s why that chapter is called Preparations? kslaksla i’m kidding, i’m kidding. we can NEVER be prepared when that time comes LMAO
“You could enlighten me tonight, you know?” CHERIE BWAHAHAHA it’s even funnier that SHE DOESN’T FUCKING KNOW WHAT SHE’S ASKING OF HIM. you are killing you future husband madam. “You deserve better than some stolen moment.” oh pls <33 look at this growth. honestly, who is this man. WHAT DID U DO TO MY OBSESSED HARLOT™️? lmao he’s being The Gentleman™️ right now and i love it bc he’s in soooo much pain while doing it lololol. “We’re going to another room with people in it before I give in to my desire and decide to enlighten you right here.” OOP. NEVER MIND. HE’S HERE. THE OBSESSED HARLOT™️ IS HERE. lol he never left. can never take out The Whority™️ out of this man. “Trust me, you won’t have to remind me.” pretty much lmao that’s been on his mind BEFORE you were courting. i doubt he needed the reminder.
but god, this was such a fun read (apart from the bitch bit lmao) but aaah so the engagement ball is next chapter right? and then the wedding after that??? EITHER WAY I CANNOT WAIT OMG. The Talk™️ omg Elias and Percy crying??? Percy walking her down the aisle?????? there’s so many things that’s about to happen and i’m so excited!! <333 amazing chapter as always love!
– TM Anon™️
Omg omg darling helloooo! Aaaaaa I’m so excited for this! ❤
I doubt Anthony was even paying any attention during those settlement negotiations😂 Like, he wanted to sign it as soon as possible so that they wouldn’t have to delay the wedding even for a day, he was so impatient! 😂
Oh I think she will do that a lot! 😂 Like, they’re incredibly different than each other and Cherie likes to be dramatic, it runs in her family 😂 So they will be having conversations like those many times 😂
The Symbol of Whorism™ I AM DYING AT THIS! 😂
Obsessed Harlotness Counter is like going into overdrive whenever Cherie is near Anthony latelyyyy😏😈
TEN NIGHTGOWNS YES😍 That was probably Aunt Lavinia’s idea and it’s uncommon for sure😂 Other brides probably got like one or two for the honeymoon but Aunt Lavinia knows better, she saw how they were looking at each other 😂
Oh she will put the pieces together after the honeymoon😂 And Anthony will have so much fun with that😂
He will complain about how there are so many things to undo the moment she changes into anything other than her nightgowns during the honeymoon😂 And Cherie’s gowns are very, very important for her 😂
AN ARMOR LOLLLL😂😂😂
He has been dreaming about her nonstop for a while now 😏
Oh Miriam is so wrong about that!
does she mean like, the consummation? if so then :// bc she’s speaking from experience right? and like, i want to feel bad her but then. BUT BUT if she just means Cherie and Anthony's marriage in general then sorry ma’am, that ain’t happening. these two are far too in love unlike you. Oh no no, Miriam is actually not speaking from the experience BUT she’s heard it might happen during her “talk” before her own marriage. I don’t think it hurt her during her own consummation, it wasn’t unpleasant or anything but it lacked passion💔 So she’s basically wishing some horror story she heard on Cherie, not her own experience!
That definitely made Cherie very insecure! Everyone but her knows how much Anthony actually desires her but not her ❤
ASK HIS POCKET DAMMIT Lolllll this is so good! 😂😂
Anthony will you stop thinking with your pocket for a second HONEY YOU’RE HILARIOUS OMG😂😂
Anthony thought she was joking at first 😂 He couldn’t even believe she would ask him that, he thought it was very clear 😂
Enlightenment 😏😁❤
lmao he’s being The Gentleman™ right now and i love it bc he’s in soooo much pain while doing it lololol. EXACTLY! Especially after talking to her…😈
that’s been on his mind BEFORE you were courting. i doubt he needed the reminder. You’re absolutely right! 😂 Anthony has plans for the honeymoon for sure 😏
Yesssss, the engagement ball is next chapter and the wedding chapter after that! ❤❤ I’m so excited, I hope you’ll like them! ❤
Honeeey, you’re amazing and you’ve made my day with this, thank you so so much! ❤❤❤

Question for/to Jo
💧 DROPLET - random angst headcanon
🌪️ TORNADO - what is the biggest change you've ever made to them? how have they changed from their original version?
☁️ CLOUD - a soft headcanon
☄️ COMET - what do people assume about them? are they right?
Emoji asks
💧:
(Ghosttowns): when Jo first escaped being a brainwashed super soldier, she spend about a year still in that country as a masked, silent vigilante and worked heavily for their lowest class people just to feel like she was doing something to atone for what she was made to do. One thing she didn't expect to carry from that experience is how comforting it was to be silent and just do work in the background- she only spoke with sign language. So now, whenever Jo is feeling overwhelmed by everything, she'll unconsciously drop into signing over speaking and that's when you know she's having a Bad Time. (Bleach): Jo performed her sister's soul burial after Rae got shot up at work; and then promptly lost her in the Rukon. It was pretty traumatizing for Jo to have not seen her sister for years just to get a glimpse of her dying violently. So Jo tries to keep it reeled in but she's always extra aware of what's going on with Rae, especially on the battlefield, and actively has to keep herself from babying Rae every time she gets so much as a scratch. Rae doesn't really blame her for anything (she was mostly mad as a human having to have buried her sister.) and actually thinks it's kind of funny, but Jo is still super guilty about it despite that. On the flip side, Rae kind of has more experience with very close loved ones dying, so when she witnesses Jo die and come back to life in a very unpleasant way, she's kind of more equipped emotionally to handle it.
🌪:
I actually already answered this one here!
☁️:
Jo is (in basically every au she's in) a human space heater- especially in AUs where she has her usual sunshine powers. She's also very much a 'touch as a love language' person, and she loves pretty much everyone. All of these things go together perfectly for her, because people loooove being held/hugged/holding hands with Jo because she's so frickin warm. It's very comforting to be rescued and then held by the human equivalent of a heated, weighted blanket. This trait of hers is also a favorite of both of her love interests, though Jack would never admit it XD
☄️:
Kind of goes for any universe, but Jo's appearance and the way she holds herself lends to a very intimidating presence for people that don't know her. It's easy to assume Jo is aggressive or rough by looks alone, which is very much not the case. Outside of her actual stories, RL people have (in the past) also assumed Jo is a violent, loud and aggressive character that would say shitty or mean things (probably because I've said she's competitive in the past). Again, very off- base XD It made it obvious that people didn't read much about her and assumed based on... idk!

Forgot to say... I had a weird dream where I was with a group of people and I gave myself a tan... They then got mad saying how I was racist, and I got too upset to the point I tried washing it all off cause that wasn't the intention.
Then.... Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie invited Shroomy to be apart of some team.., and then I was playing a game with one of my cousins which included smg4 and Disney characters for some reason and he told me not to be my own kin cause someone else wanted to be my kin.. 😭😭😭
I then began freaking out and crying cause I'm extremely attached to him. He instead turned me into a pretty princess which is not what I wanted to be.. I feel comfortable being a cute mushroom, I don't entirely feel comfortable being something pretty. Maybe cause I don't see myself as pretty.
Then we both appeared in the game as Mickey Mouse and I kept dying during the first level.
Also for some reason in my dream smg4 characters appeared in Steven Universe, and I began to have a crush on Smg4 Luigi specifically in my dream, alongside Ruby and frickin RONALDO. What the freak..? :'D
I'D NEVER HAVE A CRUSH ON RONALDO WHAT WAS MY DREAM TELLING ME?? 😭😭 LIKE I DON'T HATE RONALDO UNLIKE EVERYONE ELSE CAUSE I THINK HE'S AT LEAST A LITTLE FUNNY... BUT AT THE SAME TIME.., DUDE ISN'T EVEN MY TYPE..??? LIKE AT ALL??
I THEN BEGAN ADDING SOUND EFFECTS OF ALL THESE CHARACTERS IN A DISCORD SERVER AS WELL I'M GIGGLINg...
I feel Smg4 Luigi specifically happened though.., only because my cousin crush assigned me Luigi like a year ago and I have a smg4 hyperfixation. Also Ruby probably happened cause I usually end up really liking my comforts for some reason... Like Ruby and Luigi ig make sense (???) BUT FRICKIN RONALDO!?!?
My dreams are so weird what the frick.. This was extremely random 😭😭

A Tale of Three Pilots
Exploring Paramount+ a bit between Prodigy eps. I have no connection to TOS. I have no loyalty to it or the opposite. Also just watching whatever version is on the streaming service. Remastered or whatever. My cold opinions with no research first:
The Cage
‘The Cage’ more aligns with my sci fi radio show sensibilities, if I’m being honest. I’m also fascinated by whatever camera/post process resulted in everyone’s eyes being that piercing pale blue. 
I like the structure of the thing. I like the idea. The acting is hit and miss, but I think I have to just get used to that with this show. I mean, there was a whole time period where television acting was like... oh boy. Okay then. 
I think the story could have been served better by simply injecting a bit of a lighter, more humorous tone, especially at the end. “Just curious. Who would have been Eve?” said with more of a playful tone to a captain with a sense of humor. Takes it from something that feels dated to something that could work even today. It was meant to be playful, I’m sure. 
Things are just a little off and contradictory. Pike’s interactions with people on the ship. They’re supposed to feel like ‘stressed and traumatized captain is thinking about quitting’, but instead it feels like a man who’s adjusting to a new system and biting the heads off people. A man kind of wrapped up in himself. You could almost picture an old, near retirement captain who just took over this new ship. There’s no real sense that he has a history with these people. 
I laughed out loud at some of the lines. 
“The factors in her favor are youth and strength, plus unusually strong female drives.”
Captain, your yeoman be horny. 
Also, what was aloof about Number One? ‘she’s not frigid trust me. she fantasizes about you.’ She’s got frickin’ two-inch painted fingernails. But if she’s smart and not currently throwing herself at you, she ‘lacks emotion’ apparently. 
I like Number One. Shame she didn’t stick around. (yes, i know who she is)
Also the whole ‘I’m not used to women on the bridge’ but ‘my first officer is a woman’ just plain does not make sense.
It’s really the classic ‘my smart co-worker friend who’s a girl who i don’t see that way, but something happens and i will now begin to see her that way’ trope, but communicated so awkwardly. 
Spock looks frumpy. It’s so funny seeing him as some eager lower officer. And it doesn’t seem like they had much of anything in mind yet for his species.
There’s one dude whose entire job is apparently standing by the bridge door. Is he supposed to be security?
I like the look of the aliens. It’s rather amazing, really. Considering the quality of the makeup and costumes is often ‘monkey suit from halloween store,’ they look great.
“But they had never seen a human. They had no guide for putting me back together.”
I like that scene a lot. See, it’s concept kernels like that that keep me interested even when everything else conspires against it. 
BOYCE: Eve as in Adam? PIKE: As in all ship's doctors are dirty old men
oof
In short, I can see what they were going for. It’s kind of an exercise of me liking what it could have been with just a few tweaks. I even like the captain, but again. Some tweaks. 
“You either live life, bruises, skinned knees and all, or you turn your back on it and start dying.”
The Man Trap - The Pilot that Aired
Right away I notice the difference in the captain. Kirk can hardly go a few lines without finding something innately hilarious. He exists in a near constant state of amusement. 
While The Cage is more up my old school weird sci fi alley, The Man Trap kicks off a more accessible television show. 
You can tell there’s more thought put into characterization and the interactions between characters. Now it feels like there’s history, like these people have known each other for longer than five seconds. There’s more to Spock than ‘guy who we notice is an alien.’ 
It all feels amazingly more fleshed out. The ship, the crew, it’s all much more established. 
 It’s long (around 50 minutes). And it feels long. You could probably trim a lot of the suspense down to a normal length episode. The Cage didn’t feel long to me.
It’s funny that people apparently get trays of food served to them.  
Pike vs. Kirk. Pike is going through a personal crisis. A lot of the ep is about that. The atmosphere is more professional than personal as he’s all wrapped up in his own little world and rather snippy with those around him.
Kirk is having a normal day and his character is more in a ‘captain’ context than a personal one. At least in this ep. So you see someone who gets upset and protective of a crew under attack. The viewer feels more like this is a captain they would follow. 
Where No Man Has Gone Before - The Second Pilot Shot
After watching the first two eps, I started to look some stuff up, and discovered that the Man Trap wasn’t shot as the second Pilot. Where No Man Has Gone Before was. This might explain a bit why things feel more fleshed out and established in the Man Trap. It was originally a few eps into the series. 
Tumblr media
That’s so funny to me.
So now I must go watch what was supposed to be the Pilot ep. ....
Apparently in Kirk’s time, leaving the galaxy is nbd. The galaxy must have gotten a lot bigger later. Unless maybe you could go up or down and pop up above or below the galaxy spiral? idk They don’t seem to be doing that. 
Apparently as a teacher, Kirk was a ‘stack of books with legs.’ 
Again with the ‘cold female professional’ lines. I mean, are we looking at the same females? Was there a disconnect between the writers and the makeup department? You’d think Miss Minchin was in the house. 
Apparently if you try to leave the galaxy, you become a god if you’re prone to ESP. 
I don’t care for this ep. I’d probably just pluck this out as an ‘unaired pilot’, stick it in the extras and forget it. 
In the end, the studio just picked a normal ep as the pilot, and that worked.
Me Personally
Out of the three, The Cage is probably the only one I would watch again. The Man Trap works as an introduction to the show and the ‘last buffalo’ angle is kind of memorable, but other than that. 
Research
I’ve done a grand total of a search and a click or two, so who knows how accurate, but -
Tumblr media
It’s funny, because while the first officer was a woman who we see commanding the ship while the captain is captured, The Cage actually feels more sexist.
The awkward setting up of what one would assume would be a future romance between Pike and Number One is one factor. Then the general subject matter of the episode, comments by the aliens, etc... It’s just a lot on the topic with a cast that’s not comfortable enough yet to make it not awkward. Interesting how something can be technically better but feel worse.
The female officers in The Cage (and in the ‘where no man has gone’ pilot) are also in standard uniforms, whereas in the regular eps, we see fishnets and short skirts. But they feel more like real people in the fishnets. Then again, everyone feels more real outside of the ‘pilot’ eps.
