Hey! Could I request scenarios (or oneshot and preferably platonic) for south park in which the reader, before heading home, says to Kenny "We'll definitely meet", leaving him bewildered. And the next day, her body is found dead in an abandoned building. But exactly one year later, during a night out, Kenny meets a mysterious girl with a calm and apathetic personality, who has a very familiar face and a familiar yellow cardigan. As it turns out, this girl is a clone of the reader, created from her remains. And he's just starting to realize... (Sorry if this looks too complicated)

(Taps fingers together. Interesting...I like this. I'm not entirely sure how you wanted me to start this, but I will do my best).

You and Kenny were walking home together after school. It was just you two, since the others had stuff to do that day. It was just a typical day and, for once, nothing too crazy happened.

"I'm just saying, Kenny. I feel that one day Kyle is just going to snap...and we will never hear from Cartman ever again." You waved your hands dramatically for effect. Kenny simply rolled his eyes and pushed your hands down.

"Mmph mmm mmph. (Come on, (Y/N). Kyle may be prone to anger, but he'd never actually kill Cartman."

"Hey. Piss off a guy enough..." you moved in front of Kenny, walking backwards, "People do crazy things. I wouldn't be suprised."

You both stopped in front of your house. For a second, he noticed your face pale when you looked up. He glanced at where your eyes followed, but all he saw were the moving curtains.

"Mmm mmph? (Hey, you okay?)" You quickly snapped out of it and turned to him was a forced smile.

"Yeah. I'm fine. Anyway, I should get inside. Got tons of homework, ya know?" You clutched onto your favorite yellow cardigan. Kenny nodded in understanding.

"Mmph mmm Mmph hmph. (You still meeting us tomorrow at the park for some hoops?)"

You paused, ominously. "Oh, we'll definitely meet..." You nodded your goodbyes and went inside your house as bright yellow flew in the wind behind you. Kenny stood there for a second, bewildered. Why had you acted so strange just now?

He got this sick feeling in his gut. Something suddenly didn't seem right...

He shook his head. Maybe he was just overreacting. After all, you were pretty strange yourself. Then again, that's why you got along with him and his friends so well.

He walked home as if nothing was wrong.

You didn't show up for basketball the next day. The boys thought it was weird. You never missed a game. It was Kyle who suggested they go check up on you.

When they showed up on your street, they saw a bunch of cop cars and a crowd of people. They all surrounded your house. They began to walk faster.

The surrounding adults had forlorn looks on their faces. They noticed Team Craig standing by and walked up to them.

"Dude. What's going on?" Stan was the one who spoke first.

"I don't know. But apparently something really bad happened. (Y/N)'s mom is outside crying here eyes out." Clyde answered quickly.

"Yeah. We were just about to go to the park to kick your guys asses in basketball, but instead walked out to all this." Craig first flicked them off in greeting then crossed his arms.

"You mean when we were about to kick your asses in basketball." Cartman corrected Craig.

"Yeah right. Kyle might be the best player in your team, but your fatass would've definitely slowed the rest of the team down." Token pointed at Cartman and all the boys laughed.

"AY!!!"

"Seriously though. What do you think happened?" Kyle pondered as he moved the basketball he was carrying to rest beneath his left armpit.

"Mmph mmm Mmph. (I don't know but it can't be good)." The feeling that appeared the day prior returned full force and worse than before.

"ACK! This is too much pressure!" Craig grabbed Tweek's hand in reassurance.

"Hey fellas, I don't like this. I-I'm getting a real bad feeling." Butters tapped his knuckles together.

"Y-yeah. S-something feels r-real ominous here." Jimmy stuttered.

"STANLEY!!! Oh my baby!!! I'm so glad you're okay!" Stan's mom appeared out of nowhere and pulled Stan into a hug.

"Mom? What do you mean? Of course I'm fine." Soon Kyle's mom followed behind with the rest of the boys mothers.

Now the boys were really confused. Especially since they suddenly started coddling their respective children.

"Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry about your little friend." Mrs. Cartman squeezed her son before he pulled away in embarrassment.

"Don't fucking do that so suddenly, woman! And what are you even talking about?"

"Yeah? What happened to (Y/N)?" Kyle managed to wiggle out of his mother's grasp as he questioned her.

"...Oh Bubba. I'm so sorry...But (Y/N) was found dead in that abandoned building under construction this morning...No one knows what happened."

Team Stan stared at their mother's in horror before simultaneously falling to their knees.

The funeral was depressing. The aura was depressing. And all four boys were as equally depressed. You were their friend. Why did you have to die? Each of the boys cherished you immensely. You weren't just their friend, you were family.

You were always there for them and helped them get out of sticky situations. You and Kyle would always study and do projects together and he knew you always had his back. Unlike the others, you never once shifted blame on him or made fun of him. You were there for Stan everytime his family (mostly his father) pissed him off or completely embarrassed him. You always made him feel better and loved. You always baked sweets for Cartman and would lounge around watching TV with him. You were nice to him and never made fun of him. Butters was your little buddy, when you were together he was stuck to you like glue. You were always nice to him, never bullied him, and stood up for him.

And Kenny....he was your best friend. You did practically everything together. You would cook lunch for him and his siblings because you knew they didn't get enough meals a day. You made him laugh and would play pranks with him to make him feel better. And you...you were the only one who remembers when he dies...He literally cried to you the day you told him you remembered. You were always there, not just for him, but all of your friends...

Without you, Team Stan was never the same.

He and the others decided to take the night off today. They wanted to honor your memory and go to the places you loved. Team Craig decided to join them. You weren't as close to them as you were Team Stan, but they were your friends as well and they cared for you just as much you did them.

It had been a year since you were murdered. They never found the asshole who did it. And everyday, Kenny blamed himself. If only he had taken the time to actually check on you. Maybe this wouldn't have happened.

Sometimes, Kenny would see you in people walking by. But when he did a double take, he realized it was just his imagination. The people he saw always had a yellow jacket or shirt or whatever. He'd begun to hate the color yellow. It reminded him too much of you. Apparently, you were wearing that same cardigan when they found your body. Except it was no longer yellow, but a dark red.

The night was a bit of a blur. He had this nagging feeling in the back of his head that wouldn't go away. He tried to enjoy himself, really. It was just...something wasn't adding up and he didn't know what.

That's when he saw it in the corner of his eye. A bright yellow cardigan. The exact same one you had. Then a head full of (h/c) locks. Same length and style. His eyes widened when his eyes locked with big (e/c) orbs attached to a familiar face.

He blinked once. Then twice. Then again. The image wasn't going away this time. Everything to your height to your fashion style was the same.

It couldn't be.

He stared in wonder as you took a seat outside a restaurant and sipped on your drink. Your gaze locked on your phone.

Kenny hadn't noticed his friends walking across the street, who too engrossed in their conversation to notice he wasn't following.

All he saw was you.

Next thing he knew he was standing in front of you. You looked up face showing no emotion.

"Can I help you?" It wasn't the same cheery tone he was used to, but your voice was the same too.

"(Y/N)?" He no longer were his parka over his mouth so his voice was loud and clear.

"Who?"

"You don't remember me?" You looked him up and down.

"We've never met. My names Blaze. You have me confused with someone else." She turned back to her phone.

"No. I don't. There's no mistaking it. I know it's you! (Y/N)! What happened? I thought you died!!!" He froze and stepped back. "D-did you come back to life? Is that why you always remembered my deaths?! Why didn't you come back!?" He was angry now. He was visibly shaking with his hair over his eyes.

"...People don't just die and come back. I'm guessing you're grieving over some friend of yours, but I'm not her. Sorry. Your friends dead." You voice was monotone and uncaring. Straight to the point. If it wasn't for this feeling and all your other characteristics, he wouldn't have believed it to be you. You weren't so apathetic.

But when he looked in your eyes, something clicked and it screamed at him. It screamed your name.

Before he could say another word, a goth girl and skater boy walked in hand in hand.

"Yo, Blaze. Is this dude bothering you?" The guy glared at him.

"Get lost freak. Leave our friend alone." The girl sneered.

You looked at him a little longer before calmly raising your hand. "Jade. Blitz. Chill. The guy is just confused. He was just leaving. Right?"

You two had a long stare down before he stood up and left without another word.

He stormed away in rage and frustration. Had you really not remembered him or your true identity? Who were those people? Your new friends? It was you! (Y/F/N)!!! He could feel it in his heart.

...Maybe. Maybe you had a similar curse as him. Except maybe when you come back, you lost your memory? Yeah. That had to be it...

There was only one way to make sure...

He started heading to your grave site. Along the way he grabbed a few shovels from his house and bumped into Team Stan. He didn't answer their questions on where he was or what he was doing. He just said he was going to your grave site and explained to them what happened.

It wasn't surprising that they didn't believe him, that's why he was going to prove it.

"No. Absolutely not. We are not digging up (Y/N)'s grave. Do you have any idea how fucked up that is?" Kyle threw the shovel to the ground.

"Not to mention disrespectful. I'm not about to ruin her grave site." Stan quickly followed suit.

"A-aw man. Doesn't digging up people's grave make the dead unrestful? W-what if she starts to haunt us?!" Butters was fidgeting more than normal.

"Look Kinny, we get that you miss (Y/N). We all do. But this is fucking crazy. You're probably just seeing shit." Surprisingly, Cartman was the one to try and console Kenny.

"I'm not crazy! It was her! I swear it! I talked to her. She may have been a bit emotionless, but I know it was her!!! If her body isn't here, than that just proves it could be her! If you don't want to help me, fine!!! I'll just do it myself!" Kenny begun to dig.

"If we can't stop you, fine! But I want no part in this! I'm out!" Kyle stomped away with Stan on his heels. Butters stood there a while hitting his knuckles. Then he reluctantly grabbed a shovel and helped Kenny dig. He felt bad for his friend and thought that maybe this would help ease his mind. Cartman grumbled to himself shaking his head. He stared the diggers down real hard before groaning and taking a seat. He didn't leave, but...he didn't help either...

It took an hour, but they finally managed to hit her casket. They jumped out of the hole. Cartman was snoring against your tombstone. Kenny rolled his eyes and kicked him awake asking for help to lift it. Cartman begrudgingly agreed. They cleaned it off and tried to lift it to no avail.

Suddenly, it sounded like a horde of stampedes was headed their way.

"Holy shit they actually did it..."

"What the fuck are you doing? This is crazy!!! You can't just dig up (Y/N)'s gravesite like this!!! It's inhumane!" They had never seen Token so angry before.

"When Stan and Kyle said they'd found you and said you were going to dig up (Y/N)'s body, I didn't believe it. What. The. Fuck." Craig sweared through his teeth.

For a while they screamed back and forth. Kenny trying to convince them and the others not having it. It finally took Cartman yelling to get them to an agreement.

"Look! If we just open up the casket, we can prove Kenny to be crazy and just get his freakout over with!"

The others were wary, but if this is what it took...

They helped lift up the casket and opened it.

"I-its empty... Holy shit! Her body's really not in there!" Clyde screamed.

"I told you!!! I saw her!!! I spoke to her!!! I knew it!!!"

"That's impossible...We were there when she was buried. The burial site doesn't even look like it was tampered with before we got here." Kyle tried to find another explanation, but couldn't find the words.

"Dude. This is insane." Stan gaped.

"No it's not completely empty though. All the notes and flowers we left her are still in there." Token pointed out while picking up a card.

"Oh man! Is-is she a zombie! W-what's gonna happen?" Butter freaking out.

"Zombie!!! Ack!!! We gotta run!!! What if the whole graveyard come backs!!!" Tweek began shaking a lot more. Craig had to steady him.

"It's alright, babe. There's gotta be another explanation. Kyle, you're the smartass of the group. Got anything?" Kyle was too shocked to even acknowledge Craig's insult.

"If she is alive, why the fuck did she leave all the notes we left her? I actually wrote some heartfelt stuff in there?! The least she could do was read it!" Cartman yelled angrily and grunted when Jimmy hit him in the shin with his cane.

"D-dude. N-now is not the t-time."

Kenny didn't say another word after that. He just stared at your empty casket and clenched his fists. He was going to get to the bottom of this.

He spent the next few months trying to find you again. As both Mysterion and Kenny. The others had long since given up and resumed their daily lives. They had given up on trying to convince Kenny to stop and left him to his own devices.

Along the way, he found evidence in the building you were found in. You had been cloned. It wasn't really you. But...it was you. He hoped to try and spark a memory.

He was elated when he found the evidence that he immediately left to tell his friends. Except...when he come back with them...all of it was gone...It was like someone was tormenting his mind. He was beyond frustrated.

Not only that but a new villian had come to South Park and it had started taking up all of the Freedom Pals time. He had to let go.

When he finally found you again, you were walking out of school with the same cardigan. He was just passing by to go to the library for a study date to finally relax after spending nights searching for a way to defeat this new villian. but all plans were canceled the moment he saw you.

You had recognized him from many months prior and despite the nagging from your friends, he managed to convince you to come with him.

You couldn't explain it, but you felt compelled to follow him. It was almost like...you recognized him. Yet, at the same time, he was a complete stranger.

You showed no signs of recognition or remembrance on your face. Still, this feeling inside you caused you to stay and listen. He told you who (Y/N) was. About all the adventures and problems they had faced. All about their likes, their dislikes, their mannerisms, just everything.

You stayed with him for hours. Listening. Making commentary. You had not once shown emotion and your voice stayed monotone, but you were calm. Something about his stories stirred something within you. Something you couldn't explain.

Alas, at some point you knew you had to tell him that you weren't (Y/N). You weren't this fun, hilarious person he thought you were. But you wanted, craved, to stay with him a little longer. Your heart yearned. And you didn't now why.

You wished you were (Y/N).

Currently, he was walking you home. It was late at night and he was sure to be grounded, but it was okay. You reached the dorms of your high school. You were an orphan so you stayed on school grounds.

"Maybe...You could come to South Park. I'll introduce you to everyone. Then maybe you'll remember. I could even take you to your house. Your mom would be delighted to see you. A-and once you remember, you can come back! It'll be just like old times!"

At this, you sighed.

"Kenny...it was nice to meet you and talk to you...but...I'm not (Y/N)." You raised your hand to stop his plea. "No matter how many times you say it, it won't be true. My name is Blaze. I'm an orphan who lives in these dorms and my life isn't full of adventure. My only friends are Jade and Blitz. I'm sorry, but you're going to have to accept this. I'm sorry about your friend. She sounds great and I'm sure you miss you. But you need to move on...She is gone..."

Kenny swallowed the lump in his throat. He clenched his fist and sucked in through the gap in his teeth.

"A-at least give me your number. I'd love to hang out again." He handed you his phone.

You gently pushed it away.

"I don't think that's for the best...If you keep hanging out with me...you'll never move on. You need to let (Y/N) go. Go be with your friends. They need, whoever you were before, back."

Kenny couldn't hold back his tears. "(Y-Y/N)-"

"It's Blaze. I'm just a normal ordinary girl with a major English test tomorrow and I haven't studied." You opened the door and walked though, but not before letting out a whisper. "This is goodbye, Kenny."

And just like that...you were gone. He stood there for a while with an ache in his heart. Suddenly, his ringtone blared through the silence.

"Yeah? ... I see... Got it... I'm on my way." He turned away running to help his friends.

One day he would get you to remember him. He wasn't going to give up so easily.

But right now, Mysterion was needed.

Whenever he wanted to find you, he knew where to look.

~FIN~

(Not gonna lie, I totally was inspired by Teen Titans, Thing's Change. Yeah... This one hurt. But I'm definitely proud of this long ass oneshot. Thank you fo this awesome request. 😭😭😭 I'm gonna go cry now. Goodbye).

Well I haven’t watched sp all the way through for about a decade now, so I thought it was time

Sometimes I wonder how accurate the fandom is when it comes to how we interpret the characters. Like, why is Stan a football star so often in fanfic and why’s Kyle always the smart one? So I thought I’d rewatch the show and make notes along the way to see where the source of all these interpretations is. I also wanted to see if I could get some fun info to analyze, but season 1 is pretty sparse in that regard so there’s not too much of that in this post, but I’ll make a post for all the other seasons too as I watch them

In summary, it’s established in season 1 already that Stan’s a star quarterback and an animal lover, Kyle’s an A+ student, and Kenny is poor and knows a lot about sex and doesn’t have many qualms about doing crazy shit. Cartman is a bit weird since he’s mostly just a naive brat in this season, but he and Kyle have a mildly antagonistic friendship already

I have all my notes under this cut. They include a bunch of small details and other observations. I also listed every Kenny death just because

Ike has freckles

Cartman says “Weak!” and “You guys” and “Seriously” a lot from the start, also “Kickass!” He doesn’t say weak or kickass much in the later seasons iirc

Stan says “Dude, this is pretty fucked up right here” three times in this season but they dropped that catchphrase pretty quickly

Bebe got named in episode 2

Stan’s been an animal lover since s01e03 Volcano since he won’t shoot a bunny or anything else. He does shoot Scuzzlebutt at the end though

Cartman’s a pathological liar but in a childish way

Randy got named in s01e03 Volcano (and it only got worse from there)

The mayor went to Princeton

South Park is next to Mt. Evanson

Kenny will literally drink gasoline

Stan’s a star quarterback in 3rd grade

Clyde’s voice is wrong as hell in S01E04 Big Gay Al’s Big Gay Boat Ride and he has a dog, Rex

Garrison says Kyle is an A+ kid

Shelly seriously abuses Stan, punching him, throwing him, maiming him with a lawnmower

Cartman had a pot-bellied pig called Fluffy

Cartman’s mom smokes crack and has sex with strange men

Dr. Mephesto is probably a Buddhist since he says “Thank Buddha” instead of “Thank God”

Clyde’s voice gets kind of fixed in S01E06

A guy called Mr. McCormick is killed in a protest, launched and splattered against a network building. He doesn’t look like Kenny’s dad though

Zombie Clyde attacks Bebe, rude

Wendy gave her costume contest prize (2 tons of candy) to hungry children in Nairobi

Cartman’s mom is on the cover of Crack Whore magazine. “Back do’ ho… Five on one action!” is the headline

Cartman genuinely cries at Kenny’s grave after the whole zombie thing but gets over it because of candy

Stan knows his mom’s credit card number and has no problem using it to adopt an Ethiopian child (the boys wanted a watch that came with the adoption, they weren’t doing it to be nice)

Cartman calls Stan a vas deference, Stan doesn’t know what that is so Kenny says “Dude, it’s a pipe for your peepee” (according to a transcript). Kenny sure knows male anatomy

Kyle sniffs Kenny after Cartman asks why poor people smell like sour milk and Garrison says “idk eric they just do”

Cartman thinks poor people should die and decrease the surplus population

When the boys get Starvin’ Marvin delivered to them, Cartman says “Hey mom, we found an Ethiopian, can we keep him?” and his mom says “Sure, hun.” She rarely says no to Cartman

Kenny’s dad is an alcoholic who drinks scotch according to Cartman. I mean, Mr. McCormick is seen drinking in multiple episodes and has a hat that says SCOTCH so it’s probably true

Kenny’s family says grace

Craig’s first appearance is S01E09. Also, S01E09 is the first time Kenny doesn’t die (Coincidence? I THINK yeah but it’s still fun)

Clyde got named in S01E10

Clyde and Bebe both spit on Pip’s face, friendship goals <3

Cartman and Kyle have their first fight at Cartman’s birthday party because Kyle didn’t give the right gift. Cartman slaps his face and screams “I hate you! I want you to die! Die!” while on top of Kyle who’s not really fighting back

Satan throws a fight with Jesus after everyone except Satan bet that Jesus would lose, which leads to Satan winning everyone’s money. Mr. Garrison says “What a mean thing to do!” and Jimbo says “He is a jerk!” and I thought it was quite a laugh so I wrote it down

In S01E11 Tom’s Rhinoplasty Bebe and Wendy are sitting in the swings together and generally appear together throughout the episode, then Bebe gives Wendy a makeover so they’re bffs obviously <3

Craig first appears in the classroom, though not sitting down, in S01E11

Wendy’s not happy about Ms. Ellen taking Stan away from her, she says “Don’t fuck with me! Stay away from my man, bitch, or I’ll whoop your sorry ho ass back to last year!”

Kenny gives Ms. Ellen a scrumptious looking sausage as a valentine’s gift and giggles deviously. Wendy’s gift to Ms. Ellen is a dead animal

Even Kenny doesn’t know what a lesbian is

Wendy’s grandma died in S01E11

Wendy gets Ms. Ellen killed by hiring the Iraqi government (?) to put her in a rocket and shoot it into the sun, then she and Bebe have a pool party (very cool, they wear sunglasses 😎) and watch the rocket hit the sun

Cartman and Pip play a game of kicking each other in the nuts until someone falls. Cartman calls it “Roshambo”

Kenny has a sack of marbles

The boys aren’t fans of Barbra Streisand, but Stan is a fan of the Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway (he’s not a quarterback anymore, he’s an American football executive and the president of football operations for the Denver Broncos of the NFL according to wikipedia.)

Officer Barbrady is a fan of Fiona Apple (who was 20 at the time and had only one album released called Tidal)

Ned knows how to pilot a helicopter

Kyle’s mom is a fan of Streisand unlike literally everyone else, she even gets an autograph from Mecha Streisand

The boys are fans of Robert Smith, the lead singer of The Cure. Stan says “Robert Smith is the greatest person that ever lived!” and Kyle says “Disintegration is the best album ever!” and Cartman says “Robert Smith kicks ass!” and Kenny’s dead so he doesn’t get to have an opinion

Cartman has tea parties with his toys: Polly Prissypants, Clyde frog, Peter Panda, and a dragon called Rumpertumskin

Kyle wants to make fun of Cartman for the tea party but Stan stops him because he’s concerned that Cartman needs help

Craig is in front of the school counselor’s office in S01E13

A young miss Cartman drinks like a motherfucker at the 12th annual drunken barn dance where Cartman was supposedly conceived

Stan lets Cartman borrow his bike like a good friend

Garrison wanted to have a threesome with Chef and Cartman’s mom. I don’t know why I’m making a note of this but uh… yeah.

Cartman’s mom has had sex with everyone at this bar that Garrison’s drinking at, including principle Victoria, the mayor, Father Maxi, and Jesus (and maybe Kenny’s dad since he’s at the bar but the camera doesn’t pan to him when Garrison says they’ve all slept with Liane). Later Gerald Broflovski is a possible father to Eric, so he fucked her too. Also Mr. Mephesto and his friend Kevin, that little guy, are candidates along with a lot of other people, including the 1989 Denver Broncos (and Mr. Tenorman is included in that later)

Cartman doesn’t make fun of Kyle for being Jewish much at all in this season even though the Christmas episode is all about Kyle not celebrating

Clyde and Token appear very early on and Clyde has always been in the classroom (along with Bebe, Red, Kevin Stoley, Wendy, and Pip and uhh DogPoo too I think). Craig appears later in the season and Tweek’s not in season 1 at all, so Craig’s gang isn’t really a thing yet

And here’s a list of the ways Kenny died in this season. He dies in every episode except episode 9, and he dies twice in episodes 2 and 3. Altogether he dies 14 times

S01E01 Killed after alien shoots him, cows stampede over him, then cop runs him over which finally actually kills him

S01E02 Killed in a play by a falling teepee, then a second time shot by Garrison which sends him in the air and he gets impaled on a flagpole on the way down

S01E03 Killed by a volcano rock that burns him then rolls on him but he’s alive again in the end but gets shot by Ned’s gun that he drops and it accidentally goes off

S01E04 Gets his arms and head torn off in an American football game

S01E05 Stan’s clone punches Kenny into a microwave where he gets cooked alive

S01E06 Death touches Kenny

S01E07 Kenny gets crushed by a Russian space station and turns into a zombie because he gets Worcestershire sauce in his veins, then Kyle chainsaws zombie Kenny in half, then zombie Kenny rises from his grave and is crushed by a statue and a plane

S01E08 Kenny is killed by a bunch of turkeys. His eye gets plucked out. It’s dark blue

S01E10 After Kenny gets turned into a duck-billed platypus, Jimbo and Ned shoot him

S01E11 Ms. Ellen throws a sword through Kenny’s face

S01E12 While Mecha Streisand and a giant robot Leonard Maltin fight, Kenny plays with a tetherball and gets the rope wrapped around his neck and it strangles him

S01E13 Kenny gets stuck on a go kart and it drags him around but stops and he’s still alive! Too bad the go kart stops on train tracks and a train runs him over. Stan’s grandpa sends a video of the event to America’s Stupidest Home Videos and wins $10,000

If you read all that, first of all hello. I’m not new to the fandom even though this is the first thing I’ve posted on this tumblr blog. I’ve been writing a fanfic called Caffetamine though so I’m not a complete non-entity. Anyway, I’ll watch season 2 soon and post my notes on that too probably.

I haven't had a chance to fully dive into all the goodies last nights video has produced.. nor have I had a chance to read all your thoughts which you know I crave love . I was dumb and watched 3 911 episodes last night ignoring my ig notification that ronen had shared anything so then I had to go to bed bc of work and work has been crqzy. But anyways I just wanted to hear some of your thoughts and say Tarlos officially fried my brain and I really want to write in the spare time I don't have bc of work 🙈🙊 their soft smiles, kisses, possibly meeting the fam, their date (and let's be honest Carlos was hot as fuck sauntering up to the bar announcing he was tks boyfriend... you know someone got laid that night) sorry not sorry 🙈

Anyways hit me with your thoughts when you're free if you want ❤

LISTEN, LAUREN. I am always up to share my thoughts because they never end and they just keep coming and I have to unleash them somehow or I will definitely explode.

My brain was just like, ALL CAPS SCREAMING, for about 7 hours yesterday, so I’ll leave you to explore that hot mess on my blog if you want. 😅 But, in the time since, I’ve seen a lot of discourse and stuff about the moments that we’ve seen, so I’m going to use this ask as an opportunity to weigh in on everything under the cut...

FIRST, CAN I JUST SAY that at the moment that I am writing this post, we are still trending at #5 and we’ve been in the 4-7 range for at least the past, like, IDK, 18-20 hours maybe?! I LOVE THIS FANDOM AND HOW WE LOSE OUR SHIT AT THE SMALLEST THINGS

Okay, so let me go through this thing and comment on the parts, and then give some general thoughts below:

LOVE that this is a promo entirely about the LGBTQIA+ characters and characters of color. Not exactly surprised that they still tried to put as much Rob Lowe in it as possible (that’s Fox/the writers’ M.O. it seems - to squeeze Rob/Owen in whether he fits or not). Some of his comments were a little awkward, I thought (referring to Paul’s trans storyline as “stuff” makes me go 😬), but whatever. He’s not the point of all of this, so that’s the last I’m going to talk about him.

TOMMY VEGA. I AM READY TO STAN. I love Gina Torres, I already love how much heart and soul she is giving just in these quick peeks, I cannot wait to see her in action!

Also let me use this moment to say that while it’s obvious I’m not getting my Grace + Carlos friendship (that’s fine if it stays in fandom, I’ll live), I’m SO GLAD that her and Tommy are gonna be friends! One promo mentioned that Judd has known Tommy before, so it would not surprise me if they’ve been friends for awhile. LOVE THAT.

SPECULATION: This gives me a good time to just throw out a theory that I’ve been thinking about... We know Owen and Gwen are hosting Tommy at their place for a backyard dinner. I assume her husband may be there as well, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Judd and Grace are there too.

I ALSO would not be surprised if this is when one of the nights at Carlos’s place happens, like a parallel of the two dinner parties. That at least keeps every main character involved in both locations. We shall see though.

So this gathering at the firehouse seems like it’s going to be a pretty big scene, probably for episode 1. I think everyone’s gathered so that Owen can announce he’s in remission (we’ll hear him tell TK first, which is the hug that they share earlier in the trailer, I think).

But this gathering also includes a Tommy/Grace moment, a Tarlos moment, the others doing other things kind of moments. It’ll serve the same purpose as a lot of the season 1 bar scenes, and I’m so glad they’ve moved those to the firehouse. I want that place to really start feeling like a home this year.

(I want all of the locations to feel a little more grounded and special, if I’m being honest. Like, I’m SO GLAD that Carlos’s place is going to be a key location this season.)

There are now two instances of Carlos being next to Gwen (standing next to her while Owen makes an announcement and now sitting next to her at the table), so we better get some dialogue between them or I WILL BE SO UPSET. I WANT GWEN TO STAN CARLOS AS MUCH AS I DO.

EVERYONE IS SO CUTE IN THIS SCENE OKAY

TARLOS TARLOS TARLOS TARLOS

Like, WTF is TK’s face in this moment?! He looks so shy and bashful but also so happy and mushy and soft and in love. And then the way that Carlos softens because of how soft TK look?!?! WHAT IS GOING ON?!?! WHY AM I CRYING.

Seriously, I have to know what they’re talking about though to make TK fucking melt like that.

Emergency stuff blah blah blah

TARLOS KISS TARLOS KISS TARLOS KISS TARLOS KISS

IT’S SO FUCKING CASUAL AND PERFECT AND NATURAL AND LITERALLY JUST LIKE A “I came over to grab this food from you but since I’m here I might as well grab a kiss because I can’t help myself”

AND LIKE... Carlos just leans right into it?!?!?!? like it’s something that they do all the time?!?!?! WTF I LOVE THEM

Mateo watches this kiss and kind of looks like he was talking to Carlos, TK, or both of them, so I love that they’re like in the middle of conversation but still like “wait let me kiss my bf because he’s close by and so hot and I love him” SCREAMING

ALSO LET ME BE THIRSTY BUT CARLOS’S SHOULDERS AND BACK?!?!?! TK’S FUCKING ARMS?!?! I’M SO DAMN GAY

Speaking of arms: this rando bartender at the wrestling match (so Covid doesn’t last long on Lone Star, I’m assuming like 2 episodes maybe?) -- I love that they tried to put him in a tight shirt and make him look like a possible threat or something and I’m just like 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

IT’S LIKE THEY’VE NEVER SEEN CARLOS REYES BEFORE

AND THEN THE FUCKING GREEK GOD HIMSELF SAUNTERS UP WEARING A TIGHT FUCKING POLO - CHEST OUT, ARMS JACKED, HANDS IN HIS POCKETS TO DRAW ATTENTION TO HIS DICK AND I’M JUST SCREAMING AT THIS POINT

BOYFRIEND

But, like, seriously, there is no comparison. Carlos is fucking Hercules over here and this no-name wannabe boyband member could be a sand-colored rock for all I care.

YOU CANNOT COMPETE WITH CARLOS REYES, DON’T EVEN TRY IT

I do feel like these two clips (the calendar line and then Carlos’s line) are spliced together but they might not be back-to-back, and I would love to see how TK responds to the flirting before Carlos comes over

HIS FACE IS KILLING ME THOUGH WHEN CARLOS COMES UP

BLESS RONEN

I feel like I *think* I know what he’s thinking, but I also feel like I don’t. Certainly, the scene seems to end with them both smiling and happy, but I wonder if there will be a conversation about jealousy or something?! IDK BUT THEY’RE DEFINITELY GONNA TALK. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT THEY SAY.

Someone posted how happy TK is going to be to have a boyfriend who is committed enough to him to be jealous, unlike Alex who didn’t care and cheated on him. I certainly think this could be a great moment for them to establish what this new relationship means for them, and I’m excited to see what they writers have planned.

I JUST LOVE CARLOS REYES THOUGH OKAY I LOVE HIM SO MUCH

How many times is Fox gonna use that clip of him holding his gun though? We get it, he raises his gun. I’ve seen it like 7 times at this point.

I’m not complaining, really. I’ll take his face where I can get it.

LOVING the Marjan clips

LOVING the Grace/Judd clips

LOVING the Paul clips

I LOVE ALL OF MY FAVES

CANNOT WAIT TO SEE THEM DEVELOP THIS YEAR

Hearing Rafa talk about using his voice and speaking for his community just slaughters my heart, I love this man so fucking much and I’m so happy to be discovering him at the start of his career because he is going to go on to do big things and make the world a better place with his positivity and light and love and I’m so excited to follow him on that journey I just love him okay

ALSO THE MAN LOOKS SO FUCKING GOOD WHAT ARE THOSE ARMS I WANT TO DIE

THE FARMER’S MARKET SCENE

Are they shopping for food for the dinner party they’re hosting?! Maybe!

WE MEET SOME OF CARLOS’S PEOPLE

There is so much speculation surrounding who these two people could be, and I’ve heard some super interesting theories about Carlos’s backstory.

I’m gonna be basic though and stick with the fact that I think they’re his parents.

AND IF THEY ARE HIS PARENTS, THEY SEEM SO HAPPY TO MEET TK.

His dad/the man, like, shakes TK’s hand with so much gusto, a giant smile on his face

And Carlos smiles as he hugs his mom/the woman, and she’s smiling too

THEY ALL JUST SEEM SO HAPPY

I CAN’T BELIEVE WE MIGHT ACTUALLY BE AVOIDING THE HOMOPHOBIC PARENTS STORYLINE COMPLETELY

Y’ALL DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THAT TRAUMA

I mean, I don’t know for sure, we’re going to have to wait for the episode. But god, do I hope for it with every fiber of my being. I want their trauma, if they have to have it, to be separate from their sexuality. They’ve done so well with TK so far, I want the same for Carlos. Let the story be fresh, let it be different, LET US HAVE DIVERSE GAY STORYLINES.

Y’ALL THE TEAM HANGING OUT AT CARLOS’S PLACE

I CANNOT

I’LL NEVER BE OVER IT

HE’S PART OF THE CREW. HE’S PART OF THE FAMILY.

IT’S EVERYTHING THAT I COULD EVER WANT FOR HIM OKAY

I’M SO FUCKING HAPPY

THEY ARE SO HAPPY

WE ARE ALL SO HAPPY

I’M CRYING

I’M DEAD

LOL that was a lot but so was this promo.

Now, some somewhat sobering thoughts...

We all know season 1 had a real diversity and inclusion problem, we’ve seen the numbers. We also know that during the promotion for season 1, we ALSO got a diversity promo focusing on the LGBTQIA+ characters and the characters of color. I love that Fox wants to highlight the incredibly talented actors and characters that they have, but all of it means nothing if they are still tokens on the show.

I have full faith that season 2 will be better, that some of the justified anger and frustration made it back to the writers and they internalized it and then make some real changes. However, because we did get a diversity promo last year, I have to remain a little cautious. This promo doesn’t really mean anything and if, somehow, season 2 goes the way season 1 did, it will be another instance of Fox using the characters of color to draw people in without actually giving them screentime and development. Which is a HUGE PROBLEM. So... I’m very excited and very hopeful, but also slightly wary.

Similarly, I’ve seen people say that they’re worried that, while there is so much Tarlos in this promo, this might be all the Tarlos we get this season. I don’t share the same concern, but like the diversity issue, I understand where that comes from. There was a lot of Tarlos in season 1′s promos and, as we now know, they got screentime in episodes 1-3 and then virtually nothing until episode 10.

I kind of lost track of the filming schedule, but I think before they went on the holiday/extended hiatus, they filmed the first 5-6 episodes? Maybe? And we know that we’re getting 14 total this season, which means it’s possible that they haven’t even filmed half of them.

I think the footage that we got in this promo is from, like, 3 or 4 episodes max. Definitely episodes 1 and 2, maybe 4, possibly 5. The crossover is episode 3 and I am still expecting to barely see Carlos in it - I just think it’s going to be very fire heavy one, especially with the members of the 118 coming in to steal screentime. He could be in one scene, maybe? Idk, I’m just not expecting a lot from that episode.

And sure, we could get a lot of Tarlos at the beginning and then nothing for a whole string of episodes, but that also just doesn’t seem possible with the way they’ve restructured the relationship dynamics. Like, it really does seem like Carlos is going to be a part of the family this year, so I think it will be easier to include him and harder to delete him entirely. (Please let him at least appear in every single episode, I don’t want to be so fucking angry like last year.)

Also, if all of these scenes stay in the episodes, we are getting AT LEAST 4 Tarlos conversations - the firehouse, the wrestling match, the farmer’s market, the flirting by the truck - and other scenes of them being in the same space as part of a group. I’m sure there will be even more that we’re just not seeing. I’m very optimistic for this season and for the Tarlos content, and I really don’t think we’ll see the front-loaded imbalance that we saw last season. I think when they get back to filming the later episodes, there will be a good amount of Tarlos content in those, too!

I will say, though, that I am worried we’ve just seen the only kiss that they’ll share in the first 5 or so episodes. I’m just so used to network TV placing a limit on gay kisses, and Idk how much that has really changed in recent years. I truly love this kiss, and I hope there are more, but I would not be surprised if we end the season having only gotten like 2-3. (PLEASE LET ME BE WRONG.)

ONLY TWO MORE WEEKS UNTIL WE FIND OUT FOR SURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#911 lone star #ls spoilers #ls speculation #tarlos #this is like EVERYTHING that is taking up space in my brain okay #mtnofgrace #asks

IT Chapter Two: A Failure.

I will be criticizing the characterizations, the plot, the horror aspects and I will be comparing the film to the 1990 miniseries and the 1986 novel.

Characterization:

Ben. While he is still similar to his book counterpart, the writing for his character in the movies could have been better, because apart from being the lovesick poet and the history buff (a role which belonged to Mike in the book and in the 1990 miniseries), he didn’t get much of a characterization beyond that. In the novel, Ben was still a curious kid, who was interested in architecture and physics, and he was still a hopeless romantic, but he was not quite the poet the movies and the fandom makes him out to be, and as he stated in the book the reason why he liked haikus is because they are “structured poetry”. He was also the one responsible for building the dam in the barrens, the silver bullets and the underground clubhouse, which, except for the latter, were all excluded from Muschietti’s films. Another important moment from the novel, which was left out of the movies, was the scene where he stood up to his Gym teacher, who was complicit in the bullying he suffered at the hands of his classmates, which could have been in the second film, instead of his flashback with Pennywise, who was disguised as Beverly, a scene which didn’t provide the viewer with any new information about the character and its sole purpose was to pay homage to the 1990 miniseries.

Beverly. The movie at its worst never gets as bad as the book did, but one would expect that two movies made in the 21st century would be more progressive than a novel written in the 1980s, while certain aspects of the character were slightly better handled in the movies, it was not as good as it could have been. In the first film, Beverly is an outcast due to false rumors of promiscuity, an odd choice, because in the novel and in the miniseries she was bullied for being poor and wearing secondhand clothes, and because classism was still an issue in 1989 (the year the first film is set), it’s still is todays, so that was an unnecessary change. As was the fact that she didn’t interact much with other Losers, aside from her love interests (Bill and Ben), but perhaps the most infuriating decision was turning her into a damsel in distress and removing her role as the sharpshooter of the group. There are still positive aspects in Ch1’s treatment of Bev, she was given a personality while her book counterpart was an incredibly flat character. In the second film the scene where she is physically assaulted by her husband is played for shock value, while in the novel Beverly left her husband severely injured and he was later killed by It, in the 2019 film this scene was never addressed in a meaningful way, so it just comes across as gratuitous violence. Perhaps the best decision the second movie made regarding Beverly’s character was replacing the one-night stand she had with Bill with just a kiss to show that those childhood feelings no longer existed.

Bill. He was much better handled in the movies, while in the book the other Losers (except for Mike and maybe Stan) idolize Bill, in the movies they don’t, which makes them equals. My only complaint would be that scene in the second movie where he tells Audra that he wishes she would be like that woman he wanted. This would have made sense if they were going to stick with book arc and have him cheat on Audra, because he was still attracted to Bev, but that didn’t happen so that scene felt out of place with the rest of the film.

Eddie. He is the case of a character who was relatively well-written in the first movie, but then suffered a complete personality change in the second film. While in the first movie Eddie was brave and kind, traits which his book counterpart has, Ch2 Eddie was mean-spirited and cowardly. Most of his arc and coding was given to Richie, because the director thought that his fear of illness and relationship with his mother was enough, but he failed to realize that his fears of illness/germs and that feeling that he’s rotten are due to his internalized homophobia. And Muschietti didn’t even do a good job at handling what remained of Eddie’s arc (his fear of illness and relationship with his mother), he played it for laughs. He did not even let Eddie have agency over his death, in the novel he chose to sacrifice himself to save Richie and Bill. In the movie he still saves Richie from the deadlights, but he turns his back on It, giving the creature the opportunity to stab and thus losing any agency the character had over his fate in the book and the miniseries. He also butchered his death scene, which in the novel was when he finally accepted himself:

“Fading, fading back. Becoming clearer and clearer, emptying out, all of the impurities flowing out of him so he could become clear, so that the light could flow through, and if he had had time enough he could have preached on this, he could have sermonized: Not bad, he would begin. This is not bad at all. But there was something else he had to say first. “Richie,” he whispered. “What?” Richie was down on his hands and knees, staring at him desperately. “Don’t call me Eds,” he said, and smiled. He raised his left hand slowly and touched Richie’s cheek. Richie was crying. “You know I … I …” Eddie closed his eyes, thinking how to finish, and while he was still thinking it over he died.” (Stephen King, IT pp. 1086-7)

And Muschietti replaced that with a scene that made Eddie’s death all about Richie’s grief and changed his last words to “I fucked your mom”. All the emotional impact his death had has been completely lost.

Mike. No doubt he was the character who got the worst treatment in both movies. In the first movie, he was barely given any screen time, his role as the history buff in the group was given to Ben and they killed off his parents. In the second film, they didn’t even give him his a proper place to live in, he was just leaving in an attic, they had him steal artifacts from Native Americans (I’ll discuss that later), drug one of his friends, lie about the Ritual of Chüd being effective and he was the only Loser who didn’t even get a flashback of their own. While in the book, he was the historian, had the best parents and was one of the most important Losers. The only positive change that Muschietti made was having Mike go down to the sewers with the group for the final battle.

Richie. Even though he was played by Bill Hader, he wasn’t given the opportunity to be funny, apart from 1 impression, which was improvised. Also they removed his struggles with his sexuality in the first film, which was poorly retconned in the second film, his own bi-coding in the book was ignored and replaced with Eddie’s gay-coding (whose sexuality was left ambiguous at best), had him try to run away every 5 seconds (which something he never did in the book, he is one of the most loyal Losers), made his parents negligent just to add more unnecessary angst, because Muschietti thinks trauma = nuance. And just flattened an interesting character and took away any charm he had in the book, miniseries and Ch1.

Stan. While he was still the least developed Loser in the book, we never even get his POV, he had more character traits than just “the kid who gets annoyed easily”. In the book he was an eccentric kid with an equally eccentric sense of humor, had an interest in ornithology (completely left out apart from that puzzle), a good relationship with his parents who encouraged their son’s hobbies and weren’t as orthodox as the movies portray them. They replaced his encounter with the dead boys in the Standpipe for a painting (apparently that was Andy projecting himself onto Stan), which makes no sense because the dead kids offended him and Stan is a logical person, he would not have been scared of a painting. And they romanticized his suicide, framing it was an act of heroism, which sends the wrong message about suicide and is inaccurate, because the reason why the Losers were able to fight It is because there were seven of them, It was even scared of them. So, saying that his death was necessary to keep the Losers united just misses the point.

Issues with the Plot:

Raising the stakes to be more dramatic ended up hurting the story, while in the book the Losers’ decision to stay and fight It was one of selflessness, they decided keep a promise they made when they were eleven years old, in the second movie if they didn’t destroy It, they would end up dying, so this decision became one of self-preservation.

In the movie if they didn’t kill It, they would end up dying. This damaged the plot and eliminated the feeling of friendship, in this movie the Losers barely felt like old friends and more like co-workers. Another odd choice was to include the Ritual of Chüd, turn into a Native American ritual and portray them in a stereotypical way and it was also unnecessary to include that, because the ritual doesn’t work, so the viewer just wasted an hour watching the Losers looking for their tokens and in the end It was killed by the power of bullying. Another flaw of Chapter Two is its runtime, the movie is almost three hours along, most of the flashbacks were unnecessary and its structure is rather disjointed.

The film also fails to address important scenes in a meaningful way, while in the book the murder of Adrian Mellon was based on a real event and was included to condemn this action, the film never addressed it (it wasn’t even mentioned afterwards), instead it was played for shock value. Probably because the actual scares of this were not effective at all, instead of relying on practical effect and trying to create tension, the filmmakers decided to use CGI for all these scenes. It would have been wiser if they had only used it in essential moments, for example, when It turned into a giant spider. In an attempt to avoid the criticism the 1990 miniseries faced for keeping the spider while also trying to stay faithful to the source material, they decided to create a ridiculous hybrid, a giant clown with spider legs, whose death was caused by the power of bullying. Ironic for a movie which was supposed to condemn such a thing. What the viewer was left with was a dull, unimpressive, charmless movie, filled with problems caused by the director’s failure to understand the source material and the characters.

Mind giving a brief summary of all of them, I'm just curious. (Wasn't here [for the fandom] until late 2017, but did catch some history for about half of these)

Ok so fandom/stream memes in that post plus a couple of extras i just remembered this morning:

Butters speedy run: I think it was s18 but there was two or three times during the season that butters would run TOP SPEED and slam cartman into the bathroom to yell at him and it was so goddamn funny a bunch of people made memes of it

Craigs knife: s20 craig brought a fucking knife in the scene when they destroy cartmans electronics, it was so funny bc everyone else had like bats and stuff but no he had a Knife ready to Kill. Lots of “et tu brute” memes in stream chat when he stabs cartman’s laptop

"Clyde is dead": pre s18, after SOT- Clyde falls off the castle tower at the end of sot and when he didnt show up in s18′s first couple of episodes everyone joked he was dead. A couple other notable “___ is dead” memes were s19 butters when he threw himself out the window and s17 world war zimmerman (i wasnt there for that but i joined fandom shortly after so i saw the residual memes) with token after cartman shot him

(NSFW) the word "tentadick" in relation to any character specifically Craig: 2014 fandom had a thriving nsfw community and we may have taken a page from the homestuck fandom’s book. (many artists were also hs fans so that made sense)

[Urinating]: Stream meme from s21 (or 22? i forget), closed captioning said [urinating] during the scene when sharon was peeing in the bathroom so we would just repeat it every week much to stream host’s dismay. Honorable mention is Spice22 which was the code that this sextoy shop ad would use as the promo code that we saw like every fucking stream night

Craigs on tumblr: s18 craig’s mom’s bush craig can be seen through the window with the drone on a computer looking at a blue website. Everyone then joked craig was on tumblr. I might have taken the joke too far and made an IC craig blog that some people thought was canon or run by the sp team oop

Cregg: craig egg

Yandere clyde: 2014 trend, lots of people were into yandere and its victim was clyde. like 3 separate askblogs with the premise it was wild but also very good

Long leg craig: my abomination after pointing out craig had long legs and tweek had long arms on his model. Memes ensued and it got out of hand. I have a whole tag dedicated to it

Quoting the I hate randy song, specifically the "stupid moustache man" line: someone wrote this beautiful song and everyone would rb it/quote it when randy did something fucking stupid

Set em up knock em down: This post, sorry i misquoted it in my original post

Pc Carnival Conspiracy: oh my fucking god this was a mess and it needs to go here. s19, naughty ninjas episode original synopsis had a thing about there being a “PC Carnival” in town that everyone needed to stop the boys from ruining. Original synopsis is probably still on the official forums. Anyway, 4chan (yes why we listened to 4chan i dont know) had someone talk about how the removal of it was this big conspiracy and how it was actually going to come into play later and it was fucking WILD bc s19 had the most batshit theorizing sp fandom has ever had but it was super fun

Mpreg stan anon: Not to be confused with ric who currently goes around and asks for adult stan and wendy and their son (ric is also kinda a shitty person so best to ignore and block him), mpreg stan anon was an HONOR to receive. Like in a haha funny sort of way if you got asked to draw stan marsh 9 months pregnant you knew you had MADE IT in the fandom, and most people drew it ironically but it was still a funny little art meme and mpreg anon if youre still out there i love you

#i dunno if i missed anything but thats what i can think of off the top of my head #i need to start keeping track lol #south park #Anonymous

We Are Here

Paring: Eddie Kaspbrak x reader

Warnings: Slight abuse(physical and sexual), swearing, attempted suicide, fluff, bad spelling.

Word count: 2284 words

Request by @artlovingbre

Prompt: I was wondering if you can do an Eddie Kaspbark x reader when they are at the hotel and Eddie was cleaning up after the leaper part at the pharmacy and the reader is in her room looking for something and Henry is in her room instead of Eddie’s and he tried to force himself on her and Richie, Eddie, Ben, and Benverly saves her. And Eddie comforts her in the end.

A/N: Sorry it took me so long to post this, I’ve been a little busy with school but I’m proud that I finally have this done. I altered it a little bit from the request, I hope you enjoy!

The water of the shower could be heard through the thin walls of the hotel, and the smell of vomit wafted in the air though there was no vomit in Y/N’s room, there was however vomit in Eddie’s room next door.

Y/N had been lucky in getting her token, yes her quest for it was horrifying due to nearly getting trapped by your own mind.

That damn flower, your token had been in the form of a bundle of bloodroot. Given to you by your personal living hell Henry Bowers, after the losers club disbanded in 1989 Bowers had for some reason taken an interest in you, and thus for the last few weeks of summer you were his personal indentured servant. Doing whatever he wanted you to do, but the line in the sand held up when it came to anything illegal and sexual. He never got more than a makeout.

In Derry the flower was only found near the river, so that’s where you went. From the other Loser’s standpoint they would have thought that Bowers was the challenge Pennywize made that you had to get past in order to get your token. But it was yourself.

You watched yourself emerge from the river, and almost was pulled into the river itself. When she had gotten back from the river Eddie had met her outside of the hotel doors taking in each other's shaken state, and upon entering Beverly, Ben, Bill, and Mike could be found in the lounge all faces covered with terror as Richie stormed up to his room. No one bothered to ask why you smelled like a wet dog or why Eddie was covered in vomit simply because they knew getting a token was like going through hell.

What the others didn’t know was that Eddie was the only one who knew about what happened between Y/N and Bowers that summer and he made sure to let you get away from everyone else first knowing you’d be shaken up the worst of the two. Eddie was her rock, and the only girl in Derry that Mrs. Kaspbrak trusted to be alone with her little Eddie-kins. When Y/N wasn’t with Bowers when the losers temporarily disbanded, she was with Eddie calming him over his health worries, him helping her deal with Henry, the two just worked together. And everyone of the losers knew it..

So here there Y/N sat, water dripping from Y/H/C hair as she tried to calm her racing thoughts.

Walking along the bank Y/N watched were the sand met the grass and a tree, that was were she’d find her token.

“You know you’ll just end up going back to him” The voice sounded familiar but she couldn’t pinpoint who it was. Nonetheless she continued to walk.

“You’ve been his and always will be. Did you really think you could get rid of him by leaving” Looking to the water there stood Y/N, but not Y/N….. another Y/N. Dripping water, lips blue and skin sunk in and her hand outstretched to the Y/N standing on the sandbank.

Moving to sit father back on the bed Y/N retreated under the blankets, burrowing into them. Closing her eyes and thinking of being back at her apartment ...being wrapped up in a blanket on the couch with Eddie reading a book or just talking.

You two were a bit more lucky than the rest of the losers. After you all went off to college and forgot your horrid childhood in Derry, you and Eddie had the luck of meeting at a college party. Since then you and he had been inseparable. He helped you through your time looking for a job and an apartment. You helped him through his divorce with Myra, and long story short you two had already kind of reconnected, became roommates, and needless to say when you and Eddie both got the call from Mike about coming back to Derry, both of you were absolutely terrified.

Feeling a shift in weight on the bed, with her eyes still closes Y/N rolled into her side feeling a hand rest on her face.

“Eddie?....could you maybe dry off from your shower then do that.”

“That freak wishes he was me”

The hand went to your throat and your eyes shot open. Ladies and Gentlemen the one and only Henry Fucking Bowers.

“Miss me baby?” A shit eating grin came upon him.

Running of the water filled the air as the Y/N from the watery grave stood at the edge of the bank holding a hand out to Y/N.

“You know he won’t go away. He will never go away.”

“...N-no..” she forced herself to speak, “he is locked away, he is in the mental facility….he….he is gone.”

“We both know that’s a lie Y/N” water dripped down her face “...and we both know how this’ll end… He will never be gone…..you know what we have to do, do what Mom did. What Stan did… you know its what we have to do.” the watery Y/N backed away submerging herself into the water once again before her head disappeared below the water.

Y/N slowly made her way over to the water and began to walk in, she knew she shouldn’t but… the memories that came flooding back…. Memories that not even Eddie or derry knew of.

In his other hand he held a knife gliding it along her cheek “Because I missed you” he dragged it closer to her mouth “I want you to know that I forgive you for that summer baby…..and if you scream” he leaned down to her ear “I’ll do what I should have done 27 years ago.” licking the shell of her ear Bowers slowly moved himself to stand and moved the knife to her abdomen.

Looking to the night stand he noticed the flowers

“I want you to strip baby.... Just like the old days”

“I didn’t give you jack shit in the old days.” Y/N spat sitting up.

“Thats what you think baby. But if I rem-” a knock came to the door, “You keep your fucken mouth suck you whore.” digging the knife further into her abdomen but not enough to draw blood. Another knock came.

“Y/N, we were all gonna order a pizza.”

It was Bev, regardless of what he heard Bowers kept all his attention on Y/N. mumble came from the hall as the conversation about food for the night continued.

“What did she say?” Ben, he was wise enough to know that Y/N would say something if they interrupted her sleep… he remembered that right?

“I don’t know, she hasn’t said anything”

“She’s probably asleep.”

No! Come on Ben she yelled at you for waking her up one time after she gave you a warning.

“Fuckers why haven’t we ordered pizza, is Eddie being picky about having to share?”

Richie, finally someone who would barge into her room.

“Eddie Spaghetti! We are having pizza get over it!” he banded on Eddie’s door,

“Fuck-face I have no issue with pizza, they’re waiting for Y/N”

“Oh...has she given you a warning?”

Bowers glared daggers at Y/N mouthing “what warning?”

“This!” she quickly backed away from the knife, grabbing the lamp off of the nightstand on the other side of the bed. Throwing it at him.

By now everyone outside had heard the lamp being thrown, and shouts of concern filled the air as they rammed the door.

“You little whore!” Henry shouted nearly avoiding the lamp. Charging over to the other side of the bed Y/N scrambled trying to get to the bathroom. Catching her arm, Bowers yanked her backwards as the door finally was forced open.

Holding the knife back to her abdomen he turned her towards the losers.

“Move and the bitch dies.”

Bev, Ben and Richie all slowly put their hands up but Eddie tried to make his way over to Y/N and Bowers.

“Take one more step and see what happens! I dare you!”

Water up to her shoulders, tears streaming down her face thoughts flowed through her head and the thought of Eddie… she hadn’t told him how she felt… that she loved him, that she had loved him since childhood, that she fell in love with him again after they had met in college, that coming back to Derry had made all those feelings stronger. Forcing her feet to move back towards land Y/N Felt hands on her shoulders as a force shoved her head below the water.

Arms flailing about as the water became a muck with bubbles and dirt she tried forcing herself upwards but the force held her in the same spot. Suddenly everything started to go dark her flailing became weaker and her eyes slowly started to shut.

“Eddie plea-”

“Not another word out of you!” The knife went back into her side, this time drawing a little blood. “Look at all of you, weak. Pathetic.”

“Have you seen yourself? You still have that same fucken mullet, it been like fifty yea-”

“SHUT UP! Shut up germ freak, or your little whore here dies.”

If looks could kill Eddie would have just committed over-kill. Fist forming, eyes wide, yet his feet didn’t move knowing the risk of that could happen.

“Here’s what we’re gonna do fucktards, All of you are gonna go into the next room, and I’m gonna take what’s mine and go back to the barnes. If any of you try anything I will gut her right here righ no-” CLANK!

Henry’s grip on Y/N loosened she bolted over to Eddie collapsing into his arms tears streaming down her face..

Henry had fallen to the ground unconscious as Bill stood over him, the back lid of the toilet in his hands.

“Woah Big Bill! How the fuck did you get into the bathroom?!” Richie slowly staggered over to Bowers and Bill, taking the knife out of Bower’s hand.

“T-turns out c-limbing in a win-w-window isn’t that h-h-hard.” he dropped the porcelain lid.

Feeling the weight leave her shoulders she felt someone pull her up from the water. Hearing a voice she thought been dead.

“Come on Y/N, You know Eddie’s gonna kick your ass. It’s not your time! You’re not meant to be here yet!”

Groaning feeling the rocks of the sandbank the voice continued.

“That’s it Y/N, wake up! You still have to get the flower. Come on I believe in you! Besides you need to tell Eddie, we both know you need to tell him.”

“Stan?..” Slowly opening her eyes she glanced around before sitting up.

She was alone. Yet she knew Stan had been there… she felt his presence, had…..had he saved her?

Seated on the couch in front of the fireplace of the hotel Y/N and Eddie sat next to one and other, Eddie had wrapped a blanket around Y/N he continued a conversation will her trying to take her mind off of what had just happened. This wasn’t the first time Eddie’s had to distract Y/N from having a panic attack, but this was the first time it was after a life or death situation so the steaks were a little higher.

“So you think Stan saved you?”

“I swear to god it was his voice Eddie…..and he…… he pulled me from the water” Y/N had pulled the blanket tighter around herself. “.... he told me it wasn’t my time, and that I-....” she stopped herself taking a breath debating whether she truly wanted to open this door.

“Hey. You know you don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want to… we’ve known and lived together long enough for you to know that I’m not gonna push you to say anything.” he took her hand in his.

“I know…. But if I don't say this now I don’t think I’ll ever do it… and god I need to say this.” Y/N let out a sigh moving to more face Eddie, squeezing his hand a bit.

“Eddie… we both know that the relationship that we had as kids was a bit…..”

“Different” he chimed in chuckling

She smiled “Yes. Different…. I don’t know if its because we just spent too much time together as kids or because you were there for me when Bowers was my living hell…” she paused taking a breath. “Eddie…. I-......I loved you, I have science middle school and i don’t know how I forgot but after we found each other again in college…. Everything, all of my feelings for you were amplified. And coming back here” she looked at their intertwined hands “It was like opening the floodgates. And Stan was right… I needed to tell you this..”

“Oh thank god” Eddie let out a sign squeezing Y/N’s hand back “....Stan would always tell me in high school ‘come on man just tell Y/N how you feel’.... And I never thought anything would happen from it…. Looks like I was wrong… and like you said coming back just heightened everything…...then when I saw Bowers I-...I was terrified, but we’re here and he is gone, far far gone, and I swear to you Y/N I won’t ever let that happen… but we are here and…..and that’s enough right now because I love you and that’s all that matters.”

Y/N looked up form their hands seeing the smiling Kaspbrak. Moving closer to him she rested her head on Eddie’s shoulder as he wrapped his arms around her waist. A soft humm came from the two as he kissed her forehead, not long after that the two passed out on the couch in front of the fire. And they were there. Together in their own little bubble for the time being.

I would like to rewrite It Chapter 2

Personally I think the movie was good and it did follow the book well but while watching it felt like the plot was out of order. Also when It became just an alien it took away from the fear factor and the general feeling from the battle.

First, the fears. Starting off the first fear the characters feel is the smallest and should continuously get worse. They start off with the phone call and the fear of returning to Derry. Good. Then the fear from the fortune cookies when they encounter their irrational fears. Good. That immediately ramps up to the fear of the town again and the people within it. And then they have to fight an alien. That seems out of order. The order should be 1. The phone calls. 2. The fortune cookies. 3. The clown. 4. The adults of Derry.

Since the phone calls and fortune cookies are in the right order let's move onto 3. We already know the ritual of chud is unnecessary and the tokens weren’t even a thing in the book so remove that and just have the losers going through town and seeing It in their childhood hotspots. BUT not It as the people in the town just It as Pennywise like Bill’s encounter. Instead It would turn into the people during the final fight. Instead of Georgie (because it’s really over used) Bills parents yell at him. (The original of Bill confronting his younger self is also an option to keep) Bev’s dad, Eddie's Mom. These are the people that we’re supposed to protect them but instead treated them poorly and ignored their plights. For Richie, Ben, and Mike It would turn into Bowers (Henry will not be alive in chapter 2 because there’s no way he survived that fall I don’t care about magic like that he’s dead). Henry is in the same way as the parents of the town because even when he terrorizes them as kids none of the adults tried to stop him, the town leaves them to die.

Second, the fight itself. We all know that the way they defeat It makes no sense. They just bully it until it shrinks and then rip its heart out? So scrap that. It can’t be killed. But Derry can. Basically It is the town and people of Derry, not some alien. They set fire to the library, they build a dam like the one in the books where it ruins the water supply and the plumbing of most Derry houses etc. The fight is when It is trying to stop them from destroying the town, so it attacks them with their real childhood fears, not lepers, or statues, or a lot of blood (???) but the people they thought they could count on.

Third, Eddie will still die. I don’t want him to but to win you have to lose. Eddie dies using his aspirator like in the book but to defend Richie like in the Movie. Richie gets attacked by Bowers It during the fight who is exposing him, like he did in the arcade, in front of his friends. Eddie uses his aspirator acid trick to get him away from Richie but Bowers still has his Dad’s knife and sadly aims for Eddie’s chest instead of his cheek.

Also Stan will remain dead because unfortunately I can’t see how he would change the story as he isn’t in the original. But he will be It’s last form, the friend they couldn’t save. He wont attack them but instead their minds as he simply cries in front of them and begs as to why they would leave him as a trap.

I know that this is really messy and half makes sense but I also wrote all of this without completely thinking it out and just had to put my ideas into words. Im not saying they should remake It again, but these are simply my opinions on how they could have made it better by straying more from the book.

Also this is not complete like at all. I have way more ideas that are better than these ones but don’t really know how to put them into words.

Welcome Back-Henry Bowers Imagine

Request: Anonymous: Can you do an imagine where the reader was apart of the losers club and when they come back to kill pennywise she see's henry and is like really mad at him for all the stuff he did but like still happy to see him after all that time

A/N: I am so sorry for the long wait, thank you for being so patient with me anon. 💕 Also this unintentionally turned into like 25% a Reddie fic near the end that wasn’t the intention, but that’s just where it went

Warnings: Angst and Slight canon divergence obviously

It felt strange being back in Derry, especially considering the circumstances were anything but welcoming. The air was thick with an unspoken tension and while you were elated to see your friends again after all this time, the unknowing doom you would soon face was hard not to think about. That along with finding out about what happened to Stan, it was almost too much.

You were in your room playing with your token for the ritual, it was a necklace, one you had once promised you'd never take off. It was a simple necklace just with a single fake red stone in the middle of it. And boy after some of those memories coming back to you did you need a drink, but before you could get one Eddie came bolting out of the bathroom with blood spurting from his cheek.You along with Bev, Ben, and Richie rushed over to him, trying to stop the bleeding.

"Holy shit!"

"Uh guys Bowers is in my room."

And just like that the pin on the grenade was pulled and every single memory flooded back, and hit like a tidal wave.

"You guys patch Eds up, I know how to handle him."

"You handled him alright," Richie quips

"Rich just shut the fuck up and help him okay."

Richie snickers to himself, shaking his head as Bev attempts to calm Eddie down.As you rush into the bathroom, you take a deep breath, not sure if you're ready for what lies inside.The sound of the door opening wider catches Henry's attention.He looks at you wide eyed, paying no mind to the knife that was now in his stomach.

You could see his face contort almost like he was at war with his mind before blinking a few times and coming out of whatever trance like state he was in before. Probably the same one that fucker had him under when you were kids.

"Y......Y/N?" Henry questions in a tone of awe and hurt.

"Hey."

"You um you got a little...."

He looks down at the knife.

"Oh shit!"

He quickly pulls it out, ripping off a piece of shower curtain for a makeshift bandage. Looking into those deep blue eyes of his made you feel like you were 13 again. With those memories came all of the feelings, feelings of anger for all the shit he put your friends through, feelings of empathy from the times you've seen his soft side, and mainly feelings of shock that he was even still alive.

Not knowing what else yo do you wrap your arms around him. It catches him off guard, making him stumble for a moment before reciprocating it. You and Henry's history was complicated to say the least. You were never fully together, publicly at least but you sure sneaked around with him. He was nearly your first everything, first boyfriend, first date, first kiss, had everything not gone down that summer eventually he probably would've been your first time too.

"I'm pissed you stabbed Eddie in the face, but shit I'm so glad you're okay. I mean fuck I thought you were dead."

"Might as well have been. Getting thrown into that shithole."

He sees your look of confusion

"After the fuckin' clown messed with my head, I got blamed for his shit when they found the old fatfuck's body, they chucked me into the damn loony bin. I've been stuck in there all this time, until the clown came back, made me go wild again and helped me escape with a damn zombie version of Hockstetter."

"Oh my God."

"Yeah. Good to see somethings never change though," he smiles at you when he sees the necklace on.

"You could say that," chuckling while eyeing his mullet.

"Come on let me take you to my room. I'll actually get you patched up properly, and talk them into letting you stay we're back to kill that fucking thing once and for all and God knows you've got more than enough reasons to help."

When he removes his shirt you can't help but let your eyes travel down to his abs, it's amazing that he's stayed in such good shape while in there. He hisses as you apply some antiseptic before applying the bandage. There's a comfortable silence between the two of you before he breaks it.

"I-uh...I saw you on some magazines and shit when I was there. You some fancy model now huh Darlin'?"

Hearing that nickname come from him again sets your heart on fire, "Yeah. I do some modeling here and there."

Once he's fully patched up you head downstairs where you see that Bev and Richie took care of Eddie...well really Eddie probably took care of himself. Richie cuts in mid explanation.

"Uh uh no way. No fucking way can he stay here. How do we know he won't go off the deep end and slit our throats in our sleep?"

"Richie please! I promise I'll make sure that doesn't happen. I mean he has more of a reason than any of us to want IT dead. That thing ruined his entire life!"

"Yeah and he used to ruin ours."

"Rich....come on. Besides tell me you wouldn't feel safer with him on our side for once."

Richie bites his tongue and sighs sighs knowing you're right.

"Fine.....fine, but if he kills me in my sleep you're paying for my funeral.", Richie concludes making you roll your eyes.

"Well don't give me a reason to wanna kill you Trashmouth and you won't have anything to fuckin' worry about," Henry sasses back, getting a slight laugh from the rest of the group.

That night for the first time in a while since before you even came back here you slept soundly, Henry holding you in his arms, had the circumstances not been what they were, there would be an almost peaceful vibe that night. The next day you explained the plan to Henry and were off.

Now after literally almost being crushed to death and Henry almost getting beaten to death by his father, you two saved each other and were on the way with the rest of the gang to as Richie put it "Kill this fucking clown.

You were all fighting with all your might, when you got thrown against a wall, regaining strength just in time to look up and see Eddie get impaled by one of IT's claws.

"Eddie!," you scream in horror as you watch the claw come out at his barley alive body limply fall to the ground. You quickly run over with the rest of them, watching Richie desperately try to stop the bleeding and save him, and hearing him weakly let Richie know he has something to tell him.

"I fucked your mom."Richie lets out a broken chuckle, before his face falls as Eddie's breathing shallows even more.

He begs him to hold up while you all once and for all get rid of that thing. Mike ripping out IT's heart and crushing it. You all gather up at the quarry, after Richie had to be dragged away from the crumbling Neibolt house and you notice your scars faded away. Henry kept his distance as the rest of you comforted him.

That night as you were packing everything was set, you had paid off the asylum, and Henry would be coming with you back to your place the next day, Ben and Beverly were off together as well, Bill was going back to his place, and Mike would be making the prep to finally go and see Florida.

Your heart broke thinking of how Richie was going back alone, whether he would tell you or not because you were like the group therapist back then you knew how much he loved Eddie, how he would've done anything to have been able to bring him back to LA with him and get him out if being married to his mother.

Once you drifted off to sleep this weird feeling you had earlier intensified and in your dream you saw it. You saw the Neibolt house crumble down with Eddie's body inside, but then the strangest thing happened.

You saw Eddie slowly breathing again, before coming to full consciousness, and freaking out about being trapped underground. You heard him crying about how he probably really would die down there because you all thought he was dead anyway. And you could feel your heart wrench at the thought. Before anyone left that next morning you told them all about your dream.

Once again you all trekked back to the now empty sight of the house with shovels in hand,ready to hopefully rescue Eddie. You dug and dug for hours before Richie started crying saying it was probably just hopeless and that Eddie was really gone.

You were going to agree until Ben threw his shovel back and you could hear something and it sounded like Eddie extremely muffled you keep digging and sure enough Eddie's arm can be seen. Once you have enough dirt out of the way you all pull him up.

"Eds!," Richie exclaims practically clings onto him before you join up into a group hug.

Richie turns to you, the tears now being happy ones.

"Thank you."

You smile and nod as you all laugh at Eddie going right back to being annoyed at Richie for calling him 'Eds' like nothing changed. The entire way back you laugh as Eddie goes on about how filthy he is and how there "Is dirt in places where there shouldn't be dirt."

Once Eddie gets cleaned up and you all finish packing, you part ways, Richie finally having the guts to confess and Eddie more than feeling the same way heading out with him. You smile watching them walk out, but before you leave, Henry moves his hands to have a grip on your hips.

"Henry what are doing?""Soemthin' I've been wantin' to do again for all these years."

One of his hands moves to cup your face and he kisses you, you kiss back and once again it felt like nothing had changed, it felt as perfect as you remember it did. And now with Henry here to stay you could have those perfect moments as much as you wanted.

things that i thought about in the other times i watched it chapter two but forgot and only decided to wrote it down on the sixth time watching it:

i hope there's a scene with eddie leaving myra on the deleted footage or on the supercut. although making the actress that made sonya portray myra as well was a smart move, i missed their argument and him leaving myra as a parallel to him leaving his mom. i dont think it was that clear that eddie was stuck in a cycle of abuse and, even though it's a bad thing, it's important for his character;

adult richie scratching his head after leaving the clubhouse because he probably got spiders on his hair was fucking precious;

still dont understand why they cut mike getting the bloody rock out of the movie. i was so lost the first time i watched it and then i rewatched the trailer and saw that scene of pennywise walking on the wall that wasnt on the movie and the disappointment just fell in. that scene is important, why the hell is not on the final cut?;

EDDIE AND BEN ARE SO FREAKING CUTE. ben's always protecting eddie and i did saw some people talking about some scenes but there was this one that my dumb brain just noticed this time and i almost lost it. when mike is about to open the floor door (???????? i dont even know how to call this in portuguese, im that Dumb™), ben automatically puts his whole arm in front of eddie and pushes him behind him. that was so soft my eyes got teary. eddie and ben in this whole movie is just too perfect to be true. love them, love their friendship, god bless jay ryan, pj and andy muschietti;

BOOK!MIKE FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH PENNYWISE AS AN EASTER EGG!!!!!!! I THink. im not sure. maybe it's just my desperate brain wanting connections between the movie and the book. but god i was so happy when i saw that. to be more specific, it's when bill is hallucinating and seeing the ritual and everything. when mike talks about its true form or something like that it just turns a big black bird that attacks a kid that kinda looks like young mike. i fucking LOST it. i was so happy. mike's and stan's first encounter with pennywise are my absolute favorite and they cut it from the first movie so seeing that small easter egg made my whole week;

LET'S TALK ABOUT BEN AND BEVERLY!!!!!!!!!! okay so first of all, jay ryan, i fucking love you, you made me love ben even more. a lot of people talked about how ben immediately knew something was wrong with bev so im not going that way. but!!! when he's trying to make bev talk, he goes after her, right? but he never touches her. when he comes in her way and they bump into each other he doesn't waste a second and puts his hands up to show he's not gonna hurt her, to show she's safe. bev instantly touches her wrists and looks at ben's hands and he keeps himself like that til she moves away. and then he keeps going after her but he never for a second tries to stop her physically. he wants to know what's wrong with her but he's giving her her space and respecting her and what she's been through. that's so meaningful for her. also, a line from that scene made me the happiest ever. ben saying "talk, just like we used to" made me all soft. "talk like we used to", ben and bev were close, they would talk about their lives, i know that's obvious but it's always good to say this: ben and bev were friends, they were family, they were important to each other, since the day they met. jumping to the blood and dirt scene, beverly was surrounded by the abusive people that haunted her from childhood to adulthood. when she was falling and almost drowning, she was scared and she was overwhelmed with the fake and toxic "love" she had to live with but then ben said he loved her, he gave her the love she deserved and she was able to stand her ground and say no to all that disturbing people and feelings she's been through wish i could say that for reddie haha ha h a wh ymust i hurt like t his

now it's more about the two movies put together than from chapter two alone. i can see why people think beverly was put into a damsel in distress situation but i don't agree that much. sometimes i feel like people think they ruined her character with this situation when it just made clear bev was everything but that. she wasn't waiting for them to rescue her, she fought back, she said she wasn't afraid. beverly was defenseless because it made her see the dead lights. but bev fought the entire time before that. and most importantly, bev saved the others much more than they saved her. and, again, i can see why people strongly think this is the case and i have no right to define your opinions as wrong or right. but i truly can only see as them saving a loser. she's their friend, their family, they got united because of her and even with the kiss I SAW YOU NOT MAKING RICHIE FLOAT AFTER SEEING THE DEAD LIGHTS JUST SO WE WOULDN'T HAVE THE REDDIE KISS WE DESERVE ANDY I SAW YOU (that to be honest felt kinda meaningless after they made her and bill kiss at the end), i can see why people think that, but i don't feel it's the case;

ben hanscom is the softest human alive. he getting all shy with the others saying he's hot, telling the others to let mike speak, going after bev cause he knows she isnt okay, being aware of her past and respecting her boundaries, saying bev wouldn't say those mean things to him, saying the losers are his real friends (that Hurt Me So Badly), going after richie, being all cute and happy because he thought he made richie stay, being the first one to ask mike if he's okay, taking care of eddie in the entire movie, him on the entire chinese place scene actually, and much more. ill probably gonna rant about him sometime soon but;

AND NOW LET ME TALK ABOUT MY BIRDBOY!!!!!!! okay, so. if the losers all met pennywise again after the summer's fight that means we can and MUST have stan bird watching and then encountering pennywise on the pipe, right???!!! AND, YOUKNOW, WEAKENING PENNYWISE ALL BY HIMSELF BECAUSE HE'S A POWERPUFF BOY AND DEFINITELY NOT THE WEAK ONE!!?!? we also didn't saw mike's but that's either connected to his token or a deleted footage so,,,,, ANDY PLEASE MAKE THE SUPERCUT HAPPEN, WE NEED STANLEY URIS BIRDWATCHING!!!!!!!

KYLE: Holy shit there are people actually responding to us?

STAN: Yeah! I told you! There are people outside this who don’t even know it’s happening, Kyle! It’s like we’re in some complete media blackout!

KYLE: How the hell is that even possible? You can’t just put an entire country through media blackout completely. Everyone has the internet and America has..what’s the population of America? STAN: A fuckton of people? KYLE: America has a fuckton of people who all can still use the internet.

STAN: Kyle, if we still have internet does that mean society isn’t completely gone yet?

KYLE: Don’t make me try and figure this all out. I don’t know where our electricity comes from and I don’t know how or why people are still doing jobs despite everything that’s happening. As long as the entire world doesn’t collapse I think we’ll be okay.

KYLE: Why don’t you answer some of those questions while I get some food ready? I snagged some macaroni from the store.

STAN: Oh my god yes. You’re literally my hero.

KYLE: It’s what I do.

STAN: Mom and Dad are fine. They managed to get out of town before shit really went down. They’re not far away, just with relatives. I refused to go because I didn’t see the point in it at the time. I thought South Park would actually be safer. Shelly stayed with me and at first we were fine together, but she decided to skip out with some friends. No idea where she is now.

STAN: Wendy, now she’s tough. She’s still around and sometimes we help her and she helps us. She’s part of the Phoenix resistance. She’s the only one I really know about being a Phoenix. Trust me, you can’t put her down. People have tried and those people are dead now.

STAN: Mostly everyone is still here in South Park doing their own thing. Most of them I know where they are. Some of them I’m not sure anymore. Cartman at first loved the chaos, then there was a period where he was helpless like the rest of us, then he loved it again in typical Cartman style. I don’t know where he is now.

STAN: I hope he’s okay, honestly. I never pegged him as the type to be able to handle hand to hand combat. He’s more a schemer. As for everyone else, South Park’s been split into like..territories in a sense? Kinda like gangs. There’s only like one spot that really has a “control” on it. Everywhere else is just kinda like an unspoken thing of who owns control of the area.

STAN: The South side of town past the train tracks is run by Kenny, Karen, and Butters. They’ve set up a relief sanctuary in Kenny’s yard for those who were less fortunate during the first Cull. It’s not much, but it’s a place to go.

STAN: They try not to get involved in either side of the fights. They’re like the neutral party who just wants to help as many people as possible. They sometimes work with the Phoenixes for relief and aid efforts. I’m really happy they stayed sane during this. We need more people like them.

STAN: Token and Nicole are holed up in the northern part of town. It’s not really a hideout or base or anything, but more just them trying to survive in Token’s house. I don’t blame them for shutting up like that and trying to go on their own.

STAN: I mean, Token has a gate in front of his house. He’s got the most protection of anyone in South Park I think. I think Clyde is up with them too along with a few others that lived nearby. He used to be camping over in the upper east with Craig and Tweek back when this first all happened, but then..

STAN: Well then Tweek kinda snapped.

STAN: Tweek fucking lost is when the Cull happened and he’s completely trigger happy. You step near that coffee shop and you’ll have a bullet in your brain. That or that damn chainsaw of his.

STAN: I talked to Craig once in the street downtown. He said the poor dude is convinced everyone but Craig is trying to kill them and that’s why he’s so murder happy.

STAN: By day, he’s our normal twitchy Tweek, but when night falls his paranoia kicks in and he just sits on the roof of Tweek Bros with a gun on patrol. I don’t even know if that dude even sleeps anymore. I mean, I guess he really didn’t sleep before. It’s gotta be rough on him. Everything he was paranoid over before the collapse basically is happening now.

STAN: I guess him being right about his fears is why he’s like this now. Poor Tweek.

Well, I’m done rewatching season 2 of south park and I’ve taken plenty of notes and screenshots to document all the facts and tidbits I thought were interesting or just funny. Under the cut is a collection of notes where I progressively start caring more and more about fake children

Kenny’s house is full of empty bottles, his family eats frozen waffles for dinner, and his dad is drinking at the dinner table

Kenny’s and Kyle’s dads have some history. They were best friends as teenagers

Kenny’s dad is kind of anti-Semitic, he says Kyle’s dad was successful because he’s Jewish

Cartman kind of expresses agreement with Stuart’s anti-Semitism, which I think is the first time Cartman’s been clearly anti-Semitic

Kenny’s house has rats, but his room has lights that shut off when you clap twice

WOW KYLE wtf he says “Kenny's not really my friend, Ma. I don't give a rat's ass about him.” FUCKING RUDE

Kyle and Kenny have a fun little sleepover where they play “ookie mouth”, a game where they take turn spitting in each other’s mouths. This episode (S02E10 Chickenpox) is great for fans of K2 despite how absolutely disgusting ookie mouth is

The McCormick house was something Stuart and Gerald built as teenagers. A fort in Stuart’s mom’s backyard

Gerald went to community college

Gerald and Stuart have a fun fist fight by a pond

Kyle makes a haiku: Fatass Cartman was / not on the school bus today. / What a big, fat turd.

Kenny makes a haiku: When you rub your dick, / you might find a discharge that / winds up on the floor.

Kyle makes another: Ass full of pork fat / jiggles like a Jello mold. / Mouth is flapping, too.

And another by Kyle: I bet you don't win. / They don't let big fat asses / perform on TV.

Cartman responds: Shut your God-damned mouth / or else I'm... gonna... kick you / square in the balls... asshole

I spy with my desperate eye the beginnings of Craig’s gang, featuring Kenny with wonky eyes

Bebe thinks Kyle has a hot ass and she’s not shy about saying it

Bebe writes a note to Kyle, and Stan tries to pass it on but Mr. Garrison thinks it’s Stan’s note for Kyle and makes him read it out loud. So he reads: “Dear Kyle. You have got such a great ass. I could sleep for days on those perked cheeks, let me tell you. I'd like to live with you and wear your ass as a hat for all eternity.” (If that happened to me I’d be embarrassed forever)

POV: You’re Stan and you just said you love Kyle’s juicy ass in front of the whole 3rd grade class

The first time Stan’s mom and dad get a divorce is in S02E12, way sooner than I remembered

Bebe kisses Kyle when they’re playing truth or dare in their clubhouse, probably Kyle’s first kiss. Kyle thinks it’s disgusting (despite having played ookie mouth with Kenny which is arguably more disgusting)

Bebe breaks up with Kyle and goes off with Clyde, who says “Bitchin’ 😎”. Later Clyde is with Bebe, Stan, and Wendy at the club house

Cartman and Kyle have a fist fight once again. Kyle hated Cartman way more than Stan did very early on, kind of all along really, they truly were destined to be arch enemies

Kenny has food stamps

Oh, and Cartman’s made poor jokes about Kenny and twice (I think) Kenny has punched him in retaliation in the past 2 seasons. Kenny’s family is probably a bad and violent example for him

By the way, if you’ve ever wondered what Kenny says in the theme song but never looked it up, in seasons 1-2 he sings “I like girls with big fat titties, I like girls with deep vaginas” but in the remastered versions of seasons 1-2 (which is the version I’m watching) they changed it to the season 3-5 lyrics: “I have got a ten-inch penis, use you mouth if you wanna clean it”.

When an evil twin version of Cartman says nice things, Stan, Kyle, and Kenny stare at him in horror. Stan says, “Dude, this is creepy.”

Also, the boys say dude a lot. At least Stan, Kyle, and Kenny do, Cartman not as much

Kenny’s mom hits him when he’s hogging the blanket from his brother. Kenny makes a sad face and it made me feel bad :(

When evil twin Cartman comes to give the McCormicks some supplies, Kenny’s dad asks if that was his “fat, racist, foul-mouthed friend” so Cartman clearly has a reputation

When Stan gets scared of his evil fish, he wakes Shelly up and she slaps him. Their mom sees it and says nothing

But on the other hand his mom buries a body that Stan’s fish killed because she thinks he killed it so I guess she’s not entirely a bad mom

Kenny was supposed to buy a pumpkin for Halloween but he could only afford a squash and his friends are really mean about it. The more I watch the more I feel bad for Kenny (and Stan)

Cartman kind of has a shitty friendship with Kenny. He says “I hate you Kenny” because of the squash

Kyle is really annoyed by Cartman saying “hella” all the time, nobody else is as annoyed

Evil Cartman sings a cute little song while wielding a knife: You guys / are my best friends, / through thick and thin, / we've always been together! / We're four of a kind, / having fun all day, / palling around and laughing away. / Just best friends, / best friends are we!

Stan still has his dog, Sparky, in season 2

After Stan’s fish kills Kenny, Kenny’s mom comes over to ask about her son and she’s drunk and upset. Honestly seeing Kenny die all the time makes me kind of sad

Stan says Kenny’s squash isn’t a bad little squash. Very heartwarming. The squash gets first prize at the pumpkin carving contest :)

Cartman’s grandma and extended family live in Nebraska

When the boys go to Cartman’s family to have Christmas dinner, Kenny’s dad tells him to take any leftovers and bring them back home (he does it very gently and Kenny just says “okay” and why do I care that this fake child dies all the time and barely has food at home, like why the fuck do I care so much???)

Cartman’s mom is wearing glasses when she drives. She doesn’t do it in the later seasons but maybe she has contacts

Cartman and his mom sing a road trip song for 4 hours. Kyle says “please stop” but when they ignore him, he kicks Cartman’s seat and makes Cartman hit his head

Stan has a complicated relationship with his family, he says they’re dead to him because they didn’t want him to go on a road trip to Nebraska so Stan went without telling them

Kenny doesn’t eat at the dinner table with Cartman’s family, he just shoves the food in a bag :( I feel so bad for him

Stan, Kyle, and Kenny all hit Cartman after they wake in the night to make sure they’re not dreaming

Under his coat, Cartman wears a pink tank top that says BEEFCAKE. He wore it in S1E02 Weight Gain 2000

Charles Manson invites Kenny to go to a more secluded location and Kenny just says okay and goes, but honestly he should know better since he’s aware that he keeps dying

Cartman bonks his cousin Elvin on the head and gives him brain damage. Elvin gets better though

THE NEXT EPISODE IS GNOMES!!! TWEEEEEK!!!!

Token gets named when he’s put in a group with Wendy, Bebe, Clyde, and Pip. Craig’s gang is getting closer to becoming a thing!!

IT’S OUR FUCKING BOY TWEEK TWEAK BITCH YEEEEAAAH

Tweek says he’s awake at 3:30am because he can’t sleep, ever

Jesus, Tweek’s dad kind of sucks immediately. He says he might have to sell Tweek to slavery if his coffee shop goes out of business

Cartman says Kenny’s family is happy being poor and on welfare, “right, Kenny?” and Kenny says “fuck you” which is completely justified

When the underpants gnomes don’t appear, Tweek is worried he’s going insane and pulls on his hair

His parents say Tweek is jittery and anxious just because he has ADD (but the kind of severe jitteriness and anxiety Tweek has isn’t a symptom of primarily inattentive ADHD, even though people with ADHD do experience restlessness and can even have some tics and are more likely to have anxiety as a comorbid disorder than a neurotypical person is, but I mean come on, we all know Tweek’s slurping way too much coffee so even if he has ADHD beneath all that, his parents should stop giving him coffee and they definitely should not start lacing it with meth. Basically what I’m saying is that Tweek’s parents are full of shit)

Actually Tweek’s mom is kind of okay. She tells Tweek’s dad that he’s being shitty for using kids to advance his agenda. But… the agenda is against big corporations and I hate to say it but Tweek’s dad kind of has a point

Ew, the boys are giving a pro big corporations speech. That aged really poorly considering how shitty billionaires are

Aww, look at Kenny! He got scared of a crocodile that Steve Irwin is about to bother by jamming his thumb up its butthole

The boys are really excited about Steve Irwin jamming his thumb up a crocodile’s butthole

Oh my God, Kyle calls Cartman a fatass penis

Kenny is a mediator between Stan and Kyle. They ask him which one found this ice man in a cave first, but Kenny just deflects and agrees with Kyle’s name suggestion (Steve) for the ice man

I kind of like Dr. Mephesto. I’m glad he came back for Fractured But Whole

Stan and Kyle are having a terrible fight about who found the ice man. Kyle says they’re not best friends anymore and that Cartman is his new best friend and Cartman says “Sweet!”, then Stan claims Cartman as his new best friend and Cartman says “Killer!”

This prehistoric ice man episode is actually funny, I love it

Stan and Kyle are having a fight to the death

They reconcile and become best friends again. They both agree that Cartman’s a sucky best friend

Well, that was the last episode of the season. This was fun. South Park is actually a fun show

Kenny deaths:

S02E10 Kenny is in the hospital because of chicken pox. He laughs at Cartman’s joke so hard that his heart flatlines like beeeeeeeeeeeeeep

S02E11 Kenny’s head explodes after Stan and Kyle make him watch planetarium lights at a high intensity

S02E12 Kenny gets trampled in a mosh pit

S02E13 A cow impales Kenny’s head with its horn

S02E14 Ozzy Osbourne bites Kenny’s head off

S02E15 Kenny is killed by Stan’s evil fish, he gets spun in the fish tank until the water’s red

S02E16 The police shoot Kenny who came outside with a white flag during a hostage situation, then the police hit his dead body with a baton and handcuff him

S02E17 Kenny gets crushed by the underpants gnomes’ mine cart. The gnomes are horrified but Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Tweek are kinda like whatever

S02E18 Kenny gets squished underneath a conveyer belt

Onto the next season I go. I’ll watch the movie too since it was released around halfway through season 3

#south park #sp rewatch #this was supposed to be a quick little thing but i'm taking it too seriously #i feel like i'm screaming into a void

so, I finally saw Film Theory’s How Pennywise beat Pennywise video and I have some thoughts

I know that the fandom got mad because ‘’saying Eddie was Richie’s true token is reducing him to an object and by saying that you essentially dismiss Eddie's own character arch in behalf of Richie’s’’ and I get that doing that to Eddie is disrespectful because Eddie is his own character not a plot device to Richie’s arc. I agree. I also was like having a breakdown and in ‘’nope that’s bullshit’’ mood.

But now that I have finally seen the video, I get why the theory and I agree that it's like a credible explanation for why the ritual didn’t work at first (also I haven’t read the book so I know literally nothing more than the plot of the two movies so I’m sorry if I’m missing something important from the novel but also we are talking about the movies so I don’t see the problem if I miss something from the book) but I think he’s wrong and didn’t thought of his theory very much

so this dude starts saying that the tokens the losers collected weren’t enough to complete the ritual, and once he explains why, I’m like ‘’yeah ok I agree’’ because yes, when they went for the tokens they hadn’t yet overcome their fears, that happens when Mike confesses he lied (I think it has more to do with the things they cut about his parents and stuff but ok let’s ignore how they didn’t do justice to Mikes character), Bill accepting he isn’t guilty of Georgie’s death, Bev and Ben’s sequence and Eddie’s moment of bravery. But at this point Richie hadn’t overcome his fear (being bullied for being gay, the fear that if people knew he was gay he’d end up missing or dead). Ok all good until there

But he also says that one of them didn’t even bring the right token to the fight (Richie), and when he's explaining the theory saying that besides the tokens it was necessary for the losers to overcome their fears, then wtf why is he saying Eddie was Richie’s true token if this wasn’t about the tokens anymore, it was about overcoming fears, getting over their traumas… so I do not agree that Eddie’s was Richie’s true token because if that was true then why Ben didn’t lose Bev or vice versa. This dude says ‘’The death of Eddie is surprisingly also the destruction of the last token’’ bitch? You contradicting your own theory

he also says that if we doubt Eddie is the last token to be sacrificed then there’s a thing that proves the theory right: when Richie insults Pennywise calling him a sloppy bitch Pennywise doesn’t seem affected by that, and he asks "what happens between that scene and the other scene where the losers also insult that Clown’s ass to death? Eddie’s death"

Nope, in that moment both Eddie and Richie hadn’t overcome their fears, you said it yourself, Eddie overcomes his fear of imaginary deceases when he decides the real fear isn’t germs but loved ones being in danger and he saves Richie from the deadlights because he’s braver than he thinks. So, the difference between Pennywise being insulted one time and the other is that Richie realizes how much he loves Eddie and that he for the first time sees that you should show how you feel without fear, shame or regret

I think that Eddie’s fear has more to do with his mom mental abuse towards him making him fear of AIDS plus Derry’s homophobic folks, so he’s repressing his homosexuality blabla

but sticking to this dude theory, I think that ‘’Eddie is Richie’s true token’’ is not accurate, it has to do more with the other part of his theory, overcoming traumas or whatever Richie realizing it’s ok to be gay and express your feelings before it’s (it was) too late.

but also he didn’t even mention Stan wtf.

A List of Short Bios for a Bunch of OCs so People Actually Know What I’m Talking About Whenever I Mention Them on Streams or Whatever

These are all from the Savage Worlds tabletop campaign known as The Initiative that my friends and I play. It is a modern day sci-fi story involving aliens and cosmic horror cults. The basic premise is that some very important Scellor tech was stolen and found its way to Earth, and the Scellor government contacted Earth’s government to warn them they will have to wipe out their planet if the tech isn’t recovered in time. Thus an initiative was formed consisting of renowned Earth military figures as well as Scellor volunteers to try and locate it.

The Scellor are a race of aliens originally created by a man by the name of Jukashi for tgchan. Joe discovered them and decided to write a tabletop story in that universe. He may have taken a couple artistic liberties here and there for the sake of better fitting things into his own story. Scellor are green psychic aliens with a whole bunch of neat traits I won’t go into but you can read about them here if you want: https://questden.org/wiki/Scellor

Onto the actual bios:

Sofie Edelstein

The commander of The Initiative. Over a century ago, her father revealed to her and her two sisters (Teri and Tara) that he was the head of an “angel”-worshipping cult known as Erleuchten. When Teri and Tara showed hesitance in joining it, her father killed them. Sofie joined, but plotted to sabotage the cult from the inside. Some time later she became a preserved brain, got digitized, and obtained a robotic body. Now she’s a 6′ tall 400 pound robot with advanced combat capabilities. She created a series of androids with artificial intelligence based after her late sister Tara, but none have gained sentience. Was the leader of Poland’s military as a day job. She was working for The Initiative from the inside as an Erleuchten leader, but got found out and now lives with us. She’s done a hell of a lot of sleeping around through all her years, but eventually decided to get into a long-term relationship when she met Stan.

Minyaxl

My OC. Minyaxl is a Scellor combat medic with renowned psionic healing abilities who decided to volunteer and help out the humans, partially out of kindness and partially to have a chance to demonstrate his abilities to a less advanced race. He started out as this 5′0″ little bitch who was super full of himself but his confidence has been beaten into the dirt on numerous occasions; most notably when he realized that humans, unlike Scellor, do not reincarnate after death, meaning he’s been sentencing people to oblivion during every combat mission. He’s since become desperately obsessed with saving as many lives of sentient, non-reincarnating beings like humans as possible, even if it means jeopardizing operations. He routinely finds himself at odds with his squadmates, particularly Valerie, due to their perceived lack of interest in non-lethal solutions to problems. He is the closest Scellor can get to typical human romance with Thael.

Katherine Dawson

Cey’s OC. Katie is a combat medic who was taken as a POW by a terrorist group and later forcibly enlisted into The Initiative for her abilities. She’s sort of the mom of the group. Everyone else in arbiter squad has some form of extra-ness to them and she’s the straight-woman who holds them together. She has a knack for bossing around idiots due to her upbringing with rambunctious siblings in a Japanese-American household. Dual wields pistols and does not take shit from people. Is girlfriends with Teri.

Johannes B. Otto

Kyle’s OC. It's sometimes easy to mistake Johannes for a confused German tourist. During quiet hours, he spends his time complaining about No Smoking signs and combining multiple quarter-pound patties into single full-pound burgers. But get in his way and you'll find that he's less "tired, goofy dad" and more "towering, ruthless brute". Withhold information during an interrogation, and he'll start calmly searching for a pair of pliers. Try to hurt him or his squadmates, and he'll shut you in a storage locker with a live grenade and then feel zero remorse for the gory soup that spills out (a tactic that has since been affectionately referred to as the "Deutsche Oven"). It should also be noted that Johannes is not a patient man. If we’re ever at a standstill with deciding how to proceed, he’ll start jumping a fence to go beat the shit out of a guard before taking all his clothes and spanking him until his ass is red.

Valerie Mimieux

Ragu’s OC. Valerie is a woman of class. She’s a French spy who likes expensive things and is passionate about cooking. She has a habit of flying way off the fucking handle and doing some reckless impulsive shit or just generally acting like a psycho. Will sometimes single out a particular enemy that did something to piss her off and then beat the hell out of their corpse long after they’re dead. She has raced Yakuza gang leaders for the right to win their car and then nonchalantly gunned them down when they decided to get revenge. She somehow manages to slither her way into acquiring ludicrous amounts of currency during her operations, and wants to one day take over all of Europe. Has a pet german shephard named Steve who used to be a guard dog for the enemy until she offered him a treat. She is alien-gay for Adiira.

Fayaiy

Selena’s OC. Fayaiy is a bounty hunter who crash landed on Earth and temporarily joined the cause before disappearing off to who knows where. She’s super goofy and sort of comes off as a happy-go-lucky foreigner who doesn’t entirely grasp English but loves to vibe with everyone regardless. LOVES Family Guy, thinks it’s the funniest thing ever. On multiple occasions she got faced on weed in the men’s bathroom with Stan, who I’m pretty sure still assumes she’s a trans guy because she didn’t seem to understand human gender symbols on doors. Has a pet black cat named Peanut who she took with her when she left.

Teri Grimm

A state of the art android who is so human-like you wouldn’t even know her body’s innards were synthetic unless you looked at them under a microscope. The commander’s first creation to gain sentience, and The Initiative’s token robot hacker waifu. Everybody loves Teri. She’s polite, incredibly intelligent, and has a face you just really want to protect, although she can hold her own in battles with superhuman strength. She’s rather unlucky though. Is girlfriends with Katie.

We’re actually currently playing a reboot of The Initiative. The first go around happened a few years ago, didn’t last as long, and featured the following five characters as our player characters. They did not function very well as main characters but work quite well this time around as quirky side characters.

Stan Ward

Ragu’s old OC. Stan is one of the most extra people to ever exist, roughly tied with only Bruce and Vulohon. A true American, he’s a mad bastard of a soldier who loves drugs and driving, often at the same time. Once, several members of The Initiative went out to town to relax and have fun, and he almost immediately got into trouble with the police, being chased off into the night. He came back later after swimming his way back to the base, crabs stuck to various parts of his soaking body with their pinched claws. Was somehow man enough to satisfy a 6 foot tall 400 pound 160+ year old android’s sexual desires to the point that he became her boyfriend.

Bruce Reistill

Kyle’s old OC. Bruce is an abrasive asshole who will never ever let a villain get more than 5 words into their monologue before interrupting them with something along the lines of “now y’see here I think the problem we’re having is that you keep on talking when you really shouldn’t be so I think it’d really be in all of our best interests if I were to just go ahead and...” before drawing his revolver that he nicknamed Banger.

Vulohon

The old OC of Roll, our long lost friend who just sorta disappeared to do his own thing in life. Vulohon is a fucking dumbass. He’s basically if Knuckles from Sonic Boom was an edgy anime himbo. The first time we saw him, he was doing the cool guy thing where you lean back in your chair and sharpen a blade. The second time we saw him, he was doing the same thing, but this time was sharpening a glock. The third time it was a trash can. He owns a legendary energy battle axe and can use psionic energy to generate explosions wherever he wants, but almost all of his fighting tactics involving picking up dudes and throwing them at other dudes. Either that or ripping off car doors and swinging them at people.

Stan, Bruce and Vulohon are all best bros. They moved their beds into the rec room and turned it into the Boys Room, where they sit in the hot tub together and behave heterosexually.

Thael

My old OC. Thael is a scientist who has no personality or emotions, but a really great ass. He’s a husk of a formerly optimistic young student who lost the ability to feel things after a shady government organization recruited him and forced him to conduct awful, sometimes murderous experiments on unwilling Scellor. Everyone is creeped out by him, but Minyaxl’s virgin horniness was enough to push past that as he felt love at first sight (with Thael’s back turned to him) and pursued relations with him. Thael opened up to him and Minyaxl decided to do his best to help him regain his former self. He’s getting there.

Pamiil

Selena’s old OC. Pamiil is an optimistic pacifist healer who never really got all that much screen time but she is cute and must be protected. She loves* Setel.

*by which i again mean the closest scellor equivalent to love which i guess is sorta just close friendship where you also fuck but they’re also capable of feeling proper love it’s just weird and can lead to psionic feedback loops if they’re not careful

(the following 5 pics were drawn by selena)

https://butamakingart.tumblr.com/

Orvon Valasma

The captain of the ship that a mysterious third party (referred to as the Scellor Freelancers, consisting of her, Adiira and Setel) arrived on. She’s 7 feet tall and has robotic legs that can extend to make herself even taller and run super fast. Somewhat stoic, and has gotten into fights with Adiira, but still cares deeply for her friends. The freelancers were originally at odds with The Initiative as they (somewhat rightfully) believed that we were doing a sloppy as hell job of things, but they eventually decided to join forces.

Adiira M’vora

A deadly assassin who, due to being born in the Ayaar caste, was forced to carry out political assassinations against people the Scellor government suspected of being potential state enemies. It got to her so she went rogue and is a bit of a wreck. She owns a legendary sword called Blue Midnight that can cut through the very fabric of space, and has various other psionic space manipulation abilities. She is human-gay for Valerie.

Setel Tunsai

An absolute chad of a man, standing at a towering 5′0″ (which is stupidly tall for his Orthan caste). Setel is a powerful psionic who excels at manipulating social outcomes, either through exceptional diplomacy or good old fashioned mind control. He has a talent for helping people with their emotional problems, and has acted as a therapist for people like Adiira and Thael. He is beloved by all. Is small lovefriend of Pamiil.

Korhan

Horrible. Piece of shit bitch bastard. Rightfully dead. Korhan used his position as an Ayaar operative as an excuse to live out all his sadistic fantasies. Worked in the evil-ass facility that used people like Thael to carry out their horrible experiments, and made implied rape threats to Thael if he thought about not doing his job. Responsible for everything that’s wrong with Djylana. Planted a tracking device on Minyaxl to find the location of The Initiative’s base, then came in and slaughtered innocent people for the fun of it before taking a bunch of hostages. He used them to try and make us hand over Adiira and Thael for betraying their government but we managed to clutch things out and put him in the dirt. Also he could stop time. Was basically Dio.

Djylana

Korhan’s partner in crime. A bloodthirsty animal he used to carry out much of his dirty work. After she was killed, while Korhan was lying on the ground just before Thael unloaded two magazines into him to finish him off, he said that she was his finest work, that we would never be able to truly stop her, that she would not rest until every single one of us was murdered. He had installed something called Echotech into her, allowing her soul to stay attached to her body after its death. She got up and started freaking out because her only “friend” had been killed, ready to kill us all, when MVP Fayaiy came in with the hug and helped us manage to convince her that Korhan was a piece of shit and we could be actual friends to her. She came around, like an abused guard dog finding a compassionate master, and now lives in the base as a decaying zombie. We convinced the commander to let her in despite her crimes and to also eventually make a robot body for her. She was unsure if she wanted to let us do that until someone brought up the fact that it would be the biggest middle finger we could possibly give to Korhan, at which point she vehemently agreed. I hope his piss stain of a soul somehow knows that his ace in the hole was defeated by the power of friendship.

Satan.

There are other characters that I may or may not include in the future, but those are the most prominent ones.

The Bird King by G. Willow Wilson

Summary

The Bird King is a 2019 fantasy novel set in 1491, the novel takes place in the Emirate of Granada during the territory’s final days. The story concerns the flight of Fatima and Hassan, a concubine and mapmaker, respectively, from service to the Emirate’s last sultan. (Taken from Wikipedia)

We follow Fatima and Hassan on their search for the Bird King as they avoid soldiers of the Spanish inquisition, and meet a variety of characters along the way.

Our Ratings:

→ Geena: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

→ Kae: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Overall: The Bird King is an amazing book that manages to be complex yet light-hearted. It touches on subjects like faith, love, and friendship. The characters are engaging (and absolute drama queens) and the plot is fast-paced so there’s never a dull moment. The dynamic between the characters leads to the funniest situations that will have you dying. In summary, reasons to read this book if you haven’t already:

A- ONE SUPER FUNNY BOOK PLZ READ IT

B - THE DRAMAAA OF FATIMA AND HASAAN

C - Vikram

D - Stupid

~ Spoiler-full discussion below ~

The Good:

→ Hassan and Fatima’s Relationship

Geena: The best thing about the bird king (aside from the horse named Stupid) was Hassan and Fatima’s friendship. IMO it was so wholesome and they were so in love (PLATONICALLY!!!!). When Hassan said seeing Fatima walking around was like seeing his heart outside his body…… a BITCH DIED!!! Also, the fact they would take shots at each other constantly? Loved it. HOW COULD I FORGET… HASSAN CONSTANTLY BEING HORNY AND FATIMA BEING LIKE “CAN U CHILL!”

Kae: OKAY MOOD LMAOOO. So boom. Geena covered it. We love this book! Hassan and Fatima are the definition of the 💯 emoji. But these bestie-bitches are DRAMATIC af. I’ve never seen two best friends who love each other as much as they do. They’re hugging and crying one moment, then the next they’re jealous that one of them is talking to someone else. DRAMATIC. I love it. Have we talked about Gwenny and Stupid yet?

Geena: WE HAVEN’T TALKED ABOUT THEM, the perfect accessories to the Hassan-Fatima duo. Gwen is the token white boi, there for Hassan to thirst over and Fatima to learn how to sail a ship. Stupid on the other hand…. God bless that horse all it did was drown and then LIVE!!!! The absolute legend. BUT Kae HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE GWEN AND STUPID? HMMM

Gwen: I only love God

Also Gwen: *sleeps with Fatima on the deck of the ship while Hassan is 3 feet away*

Kae: Well... Gwennec. Ol’ Gwenny Gwen Gwen. Gwen, the Monk who FUCKS. PAHAAHA. Gwen was a new Monk who was at first, totally against helping our favorite bestie-bitches. But Fatima was all “Don’t test me white boi I will kick ya ass.” And Gwen lowkey thought it was hot so he let them slide. He taught Fatima and Hassan how to sail while Hassan made googly eyes at him and definitely wanted to tap that. But, as previously stated, Fatima and Gwen got it ooonnn. Hassan found out and as like “Fa, I can’t believe you slept with my husband who doesn’t know we’re married yet!”, and that was basically that.. Then we have Stupid. The horse who was just as damn stupid as his name. The horse lived to spite the Grim Reaper just to prove it would breathe another day. We also haven’t mentioned our Jinn friend and their literal lifesaver/guardian angel, Vikram.

Geena: VIKRAM, aka another dude/djinn/dog man that Hassan wanted to fuck but couldn’t :( Vikram was essentially the only one in the group that had a substantial amount of brain cells, and spent most of the time trying to make sure Fatima didn’t accidentally kill herself. The fact that he saw his death and it was in the arms of a “beautiful woman” should sum up his character really well.

Kae: Geena is sooo right. Vikram was the only one with brain cells because Fatima and Hassan both shared two. Our loveable, dramatic, but also a little dimwitted faves wouldn’t have survived any of their adventure without Vikram. He lead them through a Jinn filled tunnel that Hassan made. Escorted them across the land with the Inquisition right on their asses, and fought off whoever tried to hurt them. Initially, he agreed to save them because of a debt he owed to Fatima’s Sultana. But in the end, Vikram helped them because he wanted to. He was a weirddog/man/Jinn who just wanted Fatima and Hassan to stop being dumbasses for five seconds. But they couldn’t so he was constantly annoyed and probs wanted to eat them to shut them up. BUT WE STAN THAT FURRY LEGEND BECAUSE WITHOUT HIM, OUR ESCAPEES WOULD BE DEAD-EEE. Also he was one suave, smooth talking mofo and I feel like if he walked up to you and said “You’re lovely, but you’re an idiot. It’s okay, because you’re pretty tho.” that compliment sandwich would go right over your head and you’d thank him.

Geena: ok FIRST OFF I would be like “why do you have a tail” but god Kae you hit all the points.

The Bad AND The Ugly

→ The Sultan and His Mom Being Pedos

Geena: Ok so, Fatima is 17 and I’m assuming the Sultan was in his mid-thirties, because he has kids Fatima’s age 👀. So I am sure it was historically accurate, the fact that the old ass man had a 17 year old concubine, but that doesn’t make it any less gross!!!! What’s worse is that Fatima’s mom was originally a slave for the sultan, so when she was born the sultan’s mom raised her and had her instated as a concubine when she was 15!!!!!! Scuse me while I 🤮.

Kae: Yea, Geena said it all. The Sultan was ewww. Fatima was his favorite and I guess he talked to her like she wasn’t a concubine? She was treated very well. For a concubine. Probably better than any concubine I’ve read about Like, she had rights and could talk shit without punishment. But still, DISGUSTEEENNNG. Our girl was groomed so we do NOT stan the Sultan.

→ Luz

Kae: we also have our main villain, Luz. She arrived at their palace to play peaceful, but she had ulterior motives that involved her spreading the word of the LORDT and taking Hassan in to be tried for Witchcraft and all that magic shit. Because if we didn’t say it before, Hassan can draw anything on a map and make that place a reality. Luz has this little worm in her eye that basically makes her super weirdly strong and badass. But fuck Luz. When Fatima finds out that Hassan is to be tried for witchcraft, she goes to him so they can both escape. Fatima wants to be free and she doesn’t want to see her bestie die. So what do they do? They dip. And now our friends are on the run.

Geena: UGH Yes, can I just say the moment that Fatima realized that Hassan would get canned she was like “fuck all these people” and peaced out with Hassan? Friendship goals… But yes LUZ!! I enjoyed reading her as a villain because she genuinely thinks she’s a good person and that her life’s mission is to “Save” people like Fatima from people like Hassan. You really end up liking her in the beginning, and then she turns around and murders a few people and you’re like…. Ah…… i see….. aND THEN it turns out she was being controlled by some brainworm that was also trying to get to the Bird King and you kind of wonder…. How much of what Luz did was her being a violent inquisitor and how much was the worm controlling her… you kno? She redeems herself by dying, so I guess she gets…. Like one (1) right.

Kae: Damn girl! Well said!!! LITCHERALY that is a perfect summary of Luz’s character. I can’t say anything else because it’s been SAID. Villains are always interesting when they don’t see themselves as the bad guy. They’re righteous and unforgiving because they believe they are doing the right thing. That’s what scary about them.

Conclusion

Kae: Okay, so in conclusion. This is an amazing book and in all honesty, I enjoyed the hell out of it. I was never bored reading it. Hassan, Fatima, and Vikram had quite the adventure and all the dramatics of made it that much more enjoyable. They left the palace in hopes of freedom. Hassan and Fatima got the idea of The Bird King from a story they liked to read, but never knew the ending. So they continued the story on their own, making it up along the way. In hopes of escaping their new fate to Luz and the Inquisition, Hassan drew up a map to the Bird King in hopes to find it. Their journey took them to meet Gwennec who sailed them to said island, where they discovered used to be inhabited long, long ago. Soon, others began to show up on the island. Hassan even got him a MANS. A DOCTOR. Whew. He’s got taste. The island is also forever changing and some of the remaining inhabitants are Jinn.

Geena: Kae summarized the story really well!!! The journey to the end was an absolute trip, but G. Willow Wilson tied up the story neatly. We get to see Fatima become less dependent on Hassan (thanks to his doctor bf who told her to chill out) and Hassan finally find the happiness he deserves. Gwen, unfortunately, doesn’t make it to the end (press F to pay respect). Luz essentially sacrifices herself by taking the map Hassan drew, getting off the island, and ripping it up. Why does she do this? Because to make a place or passage Hassan drew disappear the map has to be ripped. And leaving the map to the island wasn’t an option because the Spanish inquisition never stops!!

Kae: And if they ripped the map on the island, the island would cease to exist! Upon arrival to the island, everyone had their ships wrecked. Luz got fucked up on the shipwreck and that worm thing got ripped out of her eyes and then it became a monster on the island that was NOT to be trifled with. Since Luz got all jacked up, she was gonna die anyway and no one wanted her to stay--

Geena: Everyone said “u cant sit with us” to luz. OKAY DISCUSSING THIS BOOK MADE ME REMEMBER HOW MUCH IT MADE ME LAUGH, GENUINELY ONE OF THE FUNNIEST BOOKS I’VE READ. 10/10 FOR ME!!

Kae: LMAOOO HONESTLY. XPECIALLY FATIMA NEVER HAVING WALKED SO FAR BEFORE AND BEING A BIG OL BABY. but she DIIIID have messed up shoes that blistered so I’ll give her that BUT YES HASSAN WAS A DRAMA QUEEN “waaah, I have red hair and im pale BUT I'M STILL HOT AND I LIKE TO F U C K” But yeah, Luz got voted off the island and voted herself off the island, ripped up the map, and then they were safe and lived happily ever after. Vikram even made his final appearance to say his goodbyes to Fatima, even though he hates goodbyes. I give this book a 10/10. It was funny, the characters were likeable and relatable, and it was just a good adventure read.
