God Only Knows

If you should ever leave me Though life would still go on, believe me The world could show nothing to me So what good would living do me?

You sighed deeply and looked at yourself in the mirror after you washed your face. You hated parties. This was probably the last place you wanted to be tonight. All you wanted to do, was get some pizza, watch a movie, and cuddle with your boyfriends. But, the Byers were back in town and wanted to share that they were moving in together with Hopper and Eleven. So, they invited everyone tonight for a dinner party at their new home. You thought you would be able to handle it since it usually wasn’t a lot of people. But, it seemed that more people than you actually expected were here. You walked out of the bathroom and started looking for your boyfriends but couldn’t find them anywhere. You figured Eddie was probably outside, smoking, hopefully not with his kids from Hellfire and far enough so Hopper wouldn’t see him. You knew he wouldn't give the kids any, but, again, you knew he wasn’t Hopper’s cup of tea. And Eddie wasn’t the most careful with his little drug lunchbox sometimes. And you had absolutely no idea where Steve was. Even if it wasn’t as much as before, you knew he still loved a party from time to time. And even more when some people from high school who still idolized him were there.

“Hey, hun-” you jumped a little when you heard Robin coming towards you. “Have you seen her?”

“Um, who?” you asked confused.

“Vickie” she said, freaking out. “I invited her tonight and she said she would come but she’s still not here and now I’m freaking out because maybe I shouldn’t have asked her out. I mean, what if I misinterpreted things? What if she just said yes to be polite but she didn’t really want to come and didn't know how to tell me or-”

“Uh, Robin” you stopped her rambling.

“Yes?”

“Vickie just walked through the door” you said, pointing in her direction where the redhead smiled and waved at the two of you.

“Oh my God. I didn’t think this through. I mean, I never thought she would actually come. What do I do?”

“Just… go say hello” you encouraged her. “You’ll be fine” you tried to assure her.

“Okay” she said taking a deep breath. “Wish me luck” she smiled.

“Good luck” you told her. “Wait” you said, pulling her back. “Have you seen Steve? Or Eddie?”

“No, sorry” she said, before walking away from you. You sighed and walked over to the living room, sitting on the couch. Hopefully one of them would find you, but someone else did first.

“Hey, dude” you looked up to see Jonathan’s friend, Argyle. “Why the long face, man? You want some pizza?” he asked, sitting down next to you.

“N-no, thanks, I’m good” you smiled politely at him.

“Your loss man” he chuckled. “Hey, why are you wearing that guy’s jacket?” he asked. “You know, the pretty boy, with the big hair?”

“Steve?” you laughed.

“Yeah” he said, taking a bite of his pizza.

“How do you know this is Steve’s jacket?” you asked, curiously.

“Oh, he wears the real shit man, not like El’s little boyfriend who wears the shitty knock-offs” he explained, making you laugh a little.

“Well, to answer your question, I was cold so he lent it to me” you said, pulling it closer to you. Steve’s smell helped you calm down a little.

“How come you don’t use your boyfriend’s jacket? He wears like three of them” he asked confused.

“Um… Steve is my boyfriend” you told him.

“Wasn’t your boyfriend the other guy with long hair? The cool one that plays D&D and shit?”

“Eddie?” you asked.

“Yeah! That guy’s so awesome, man” he said, making you chuckle.

“Yeah, Eddie is my boyfriend too” you explained.

“No way” he said, surprised. “So, the three of you are like… together?”

“Yeah” you said, a bit nervous. You knew this wasn’t exactly something that everyone just accepted.

“That is so cool” he said, genuinely. “That is like… three times the love, man” he smiled, making you sigh in relief.

“Y-yeah, something like that” you smiled back at him.

“Well then, more power to you” he said, raising up his pizza as if he was making a toast.

“Thanks, Argyle” you replied. “Um… I’m gonna go see if I can find either one of them” you said, getting up. “You haven’t seen them by any chance?”

“Nah, but if I do I’ll let them know to look for the girl in the nice jacket, ‘kay?”

“Thank you” you said before walking away.

You started walking through the crowds of people, making your way to the kitchen. Everything was beginning to be too much. The noise, the people, not finding either one of your boyfriends. You knew what was coming. But this was a happy night and you didn’t want to ruin it. So, you figured, maybe a glass of water would help. You got even more anxious when you noticed how much your hand was shaking.

“Hey!” you heard, making you accidentally drop your glass when you turned around to see Jonathan. “Whoa, sorry, love” he said, walking over to you and grabbing some paper towels to dry up the water. “Didn’t mean to scare you” he said.

“N-no, it’s fine” you smiled weakly, grabbing the plastic cup and tossing it in the garbage. “It’s uh a great party” you told him.

“It wasn’t supposed to be this big” he told you. Jonathan knew you since you two were kids. He knew you weren’t comfortable in these kinds of situations. Especially when there were so many people that you didn’t know around you. “But… you know, a lot of people were happy to see that Hopper was back and-”

“Oh, I’m sure that a lot of us are also happy that you, your mom, Will, and El are back” you smiled at him. “Also, Argyle is pretty cool” you said. “So, how come you’re hiding out here with me and not with Nancy? I figured you two have a lot of time to make up for” you said.

“I don’t know” he said, placing his hand behind his neck. “I guess we still have some things to figure out” he said.

“You two will be fine, John” you assured him.

“How do you know?”

“Because you two are like meant to be” you laughed. “You love each other and in the end, that’s what matters. I mean, look at me, I’m making it work with two people who couldn’t be more different” you chuckled, making him laugh too.

“Yeah, how’s that going?”

“Pretty good, actually” you admitted. “It would be better if I had any idea where they were” you said, starting to feel anxious again.

“Oh, I think I saw Eddie outside with Dustin and Will. I can go get him if you like-”

“You should be going to look for Nancy” you said as he started walking out of the kitchen.

“Can’t hear you, I’m already gone” he yelled before leaving and Joyce came into the kitchen after with Mrs. Henderson, Mrs. Wheeler, and Mrs. Sinclair.

“Oh hi, honey, what are you doing hiding here?” Joyce said, kindly, walking over to you. “Are you alright, sweetie? Steve was looking for you out there” she told you.

“Y-yes, I just came to grab a glass of water” you said, nervously.

“Oh, that’s right, you’re dating Steve Harrington now” Mrs. Wheeler said excitedly. “He is so handsome, you two are such a cute couple” she told you.

“Uh- right um-”

“Wait, you’re dating Steve? Dusty said Eddie was your boyfriend” Mrs. Henderson asked confused.

Great. The only one that actually knew you were dating both of them was Joyce because she had always been like a mom to you. Especially after your parents didn’t exactly approve of your relationship.

“R-right w-well, actually” you stuttered, nervously. You knew this was a delicate subject, especially with adults, since it wasn’t seen as a conventional relationship. “I uh- w-we’re u-um-”

“Honey, could you please go get Will for me? He’s outside I think” Joyce interrupted. “I’ll just talk to Claudia, Sue, and Karen really quick” she said, escorting you out the kitchen door.

“R-right, thanks, Joyce” you said, quickly before leaving the kitchen.

It started again. Your hands were shaking and your breathing became quicker. This is the main reason why you hated going to parties. People still didn’t accept the fact that you, Eddie, and Steve could all be in a relationship. It wasn’t bad when they were with you, they were pretty much the ones who would explain something and just tell people to fuck off if they made some unpleasant comments. But when it was just you, you never really knew how to handle it, since the last time you tried was with your parents. And they ended up throwing you out of their house.

“Hey!” you heard someone calling your name and then saw Max walking over to you with Lucas and Will. “Are you okay?”

“M-Max-” you said, trying to take a deep breath but your eyes were already watering.

“Lucas, go get Steve” she said, turning to him and then Will. “You go get Eddie” she instructed. “I’ll take her up to Eleven’s room” she said and the two boys nodded before they went their separate ways. “Come on” she said, taking your hand and guiding you upstairs.

Soon enough you were sitting on Eleven’s bed, trying to calm yourself down with Max’s help. It wasn’t long before the door burst open and Steve ran in with Lucas behind him.

“Love, I’m here” he said, kneeling down in front of you and taking Max’s place.

“S-Steve-” you said, as he placed your head between his hands, making you look at him.

“I’m here sunshine, look at me” he said, softly. “It’s okay, I’m here with you.”

“Princess!” Eddie’s voice came inside the room, Will, Dustin, and Jonathan behind him. “Shit, do you know what happened, Red?” he asked Max.

“No, she just came out of the kitchen that way” she explained.

“Thanks” he nodded. “We got it, guys, can you give us a minute?” he asked, looking at the rest of them.

“Is she gonna be okay?” Dustin asked, concerned.

“Yeah” Eddie assured him. “We just need some space” he smiled nervously.

“Take all the time you need, man. Let’s go, guys” Jonathan said, pushing the kids outside and closing the door behind him.

Eddie then came over to kneel in front of you, next to Steve.

“Hi princess” Eddie said, placing one of his hands on your cheek, and Steve removed his. “We’re here” he said, feeling Steve’s hand holding his free one, knowing how much it broke Eddie’s heart to see you like this and that he was probably going to blame himself. “We’re both here. You’re okay, love” he said soothingly.

“Can you take deep breaths for us, sunshine?” Steve said as Eddie started taking deep breaths so you could follow his lead. “That’s good, sweetheart, just like Eddie’s breathing” he instructed.

“That’s it, love, in” Eddie said, taking a deep breath. “And out” he guided you. “You’re doing a great job, honey” he said, smiling when your breathing started slowing down.

“There you go, sunshine” Steve said, softly, moving his hand to stroke your arm instead and Eddie did the same.

“I’m s-sorry” you said, between sobs.

“No, none of that, love” Eddie said, softly. “You have nothing to apologize for, okay?” he said, wiping your tears away.

“Can we hug you, sweetheart? What do you need us to do?” Steve asked, still stroking your arm with his hand.

You grabbed Steve’s hand with one of yours, and Eddie’s with the other one, trying to stand up.

“Hey, hold on, easy, princess okay?” Eddie said, holding you by your waist and guiding you down.

He and Steve sat next to each other with their backs against the bed and he gently placed you between the two of them, creating a safe bubble, wrapping his arm around you and Steve did the same.

“There you go, sunshine” Steve said, kissing the side of your head as Eddie kissed your cheek on his side. “We got you” he repeated.

“You’re safe, princess” Eddie whispered as you started playing with his rings.

“I’m s-s-”

“No, love, no apologizing” Steve said, brushing your hair away from your face and kissing your temple.

“B-but I s-scared y-you two, a-and Max, and Lucas, and D-Dustin, and W-Will-”

“Don’t worry about them right now, love” Eddie assured you. “They just wanted to make sure you were okay” he insisted and you nodded softly.

“What happened, love?” Steve asked, ignoring Eddie’s frowning at him. “Take your time. We just want to know how to help you, okay?”

“N-nothing happened” you said. “It was s-stupid-”

“No, love, it’s not” Eddie assured you.

“It was just all… kind of too much” you started, still playing with Eddie’s hand, not being able to face them. “It was too many p-people a-and I couldn’t find either one of you” you continued, making Steve and Eddie share a guilty look. “I w-was fine for a while, talking to Argyle and then Jonathan” you continued. “B-but then, Joyce came in the kitchen with Mrs. Henderson, and Mrs. Wheeler, a-and Mrs. Sinclair” you said, trying your best not to start crying again. “A-and Mrs. Wheeler asked if I w-was dating y-you” you said, nodding your head towards Steve. “B-but then Mrs. Henderson said she w-was confused because she thought I was d-dating you” you said, pulling Eddie’s hand. “S-so I just d-didn’t know how to explain that I w-was dating both of you, and then Joyce told me to g-go but I s-still couldn’t f-find you a-and I just-” you stopped when your breathing started picking up again.

“Shh, it’s okay” Steve said, tightening his arm around you.

“It’s okay, princess” Eddie said, kissing your head again. “You wanna go home?”

“N-no” you said, looking up at them. “Y-you two are having fun, a-and-”

“Don’t be silly, sweetheart” Steve said, kissing your forehead. “There’s no way we could have more fun here than just the three of us back at home” he assured you. “We can do whatever you want” he offered.

“R-really?” you asked, sitting up, looking between them and the two of them nodded. “C-can we read Lord of The Rings?” you asked with a small smile.

“Again-?” Steve started but stopped when Eddie smacked him on the back of the head. “Yes, of course, we can, sweetheart” he smiled, kissing your cheek.

“Whatever you want, princess” Eddie smiled, kissing your other cheek.

*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

“Was Dustin really okay? He sounded really scared. And Max, she was so helpful and I didn’t mean to-”

“Love stop” Steve said, walking over to you and sitting on the bed. “They were just a little worried. They care about you. And you know Henderson sees you like a big sister, but I promise you they were fine. They’re coming tomorrow for movie night” he insisted. “And I just called Joyce to let her know we were home and that you were feeling better” he said, bringing you a cup of tea and his yellow sweater and one of Eddie’s boxers so you could change into them. “You have nothing to worry about, okay?” he said, giving you a small peck on the lips.

“Thanks, love” you said, kissing him again.

“I’ll be right back, sweetheart” he said and you nodded as he left the room and went looking for Eddie, who was basically turning the living room upside down looking for his book.

“Is not here” Steve heard him mumbling to himself. “Shit!”

“Eddie?”

“Is not here! I can’t find the fucking book! Did you move it-”

“Love, calm down, I’m sure it’s here somewhere-”

“It’s not!” he said, knocking down the books on the shelf next to him. “I can’t- I can’t find it! I put it down there for a second and-”

“Eddie” Steve said, walking closer to him and grabbing his hands to make him stop spiraling. “Look at me, love” he said, softly. Eddie sighed and turned to look at him reluctantly. “She’s okay” he said.

“She had a panic attack, Steve-”

“I know, but it wasn’t your fault-”

“Yes, it was! Henderson wanted to show me something and she said she was going to the bathroom and… I, I thought she had found you and stayed with you or something- I should have waited for her! We know she hates these kinds of events, there were so many people there. So many fucking judgemental people and I left her by herself-”

“Stop” Steve said, placing his hand on Eddie’s cheek, softly. “I know, okay? I feel horrible too that she was alone, but we got there in time. And she found Max, Lucas, and Will. Joyce saw she was uncomfortable so she sent her away and she made sure she was okay before we left. She has people that care about her and she knows we do too. She knows we love her. She knows you love her. She’s okay, Eddie, this wasn’t your fault-”

“But-”

“No buts, she just wants us here with her and that’s what we’re gonna do, okay?”

“I just…” Eddie sighed sadly.

“I know” Steve said, giving him a peck on the lips. “I know, love” he said, hugging him closer.

“Eddie?” you said, standing at the door to your bedroom.

Eddie quickly wiped away his tears and pulled away from Steve.

“Yes, princess?” he said, clearing his throat.

“I found the book” you smiled weakly, holding it in your hand. Eddie smiled back and walked over to you, giving you a kiss on the lips.

“Lead the way then, gorgeous” he said, grabbing your hand and bringing it to his lips, making you smile.

“Are you coming, Stevie?” you asked.

“I’ll be right there, sweetheart” he smiled and Eddie pulled you to the bedroom.

Eddie sat on his side of the bed and you curled up next to him while he looked for the marked page.

“So, where were we-?” Eddie asked but he suddenly stopped and placed the book on his nightstand and sat up, grabbing your hand. “Princess?”

“Love?” you smiled, sitting up as he looked at you.

“Y-you know that I love you right?” he asked all of the sudden. You frowned your eyebrows in confusion and smiled sweetly at him.

“Of course, I know” you said. “I love you too” you smiled.

“It’s just… I don’t- um… I didn’t mean to leave you alone tonight and-”

“Eddie” you said, placing your hand on his cheek to make him look at you. “What happened to me wasn’t your fault” you assured him.

“But I was with you and I just… I don’t want you to think like you can’t trust me or that I won’t be there for you I just-”

“Whoa, Eddie, I would never think that, love” you assured him, not noticing that Steve was now standing at the door. “You and Steve are my favorite people in the world. You two always make me feel safe and comfortable and happy and loved and… even if it was a little scary for a moment, I have never doubted that you and Steve love me and would be there whenever I need you” you smiled.

“Yeah?” Eddie asked, still feeling a little guilty.

“Yeah” you nodded. “I mean, you let me choose the music on the way back home and Steve let me choose reading Lord of the Rings” you chuckled, looking back at Steve, who rolled his eyes and went to sit on your other side. “If that’s not love, I really don’t know what is” you smiled as Steve wrapped his arms around your waist and Eddie laughed a little. “I love you” you said, grabbing Eddie’s hand and pulling him towards you to give him a kiss on the lips. “Both of you” you said, turning to Steve and giving him one as well.

“Me too” Steve smiled, resting his head against yours and looking back at Eddie.

“Me three” Eddie said, grabbing the book again before he linked his free hand to your sand Steve’s. “Ready?”

“Oh, almost, hold on” Steve said, pulling away and pressing play on the boombox on the floor. You and Eddie smiled when you heard the song that came on as Steve came back, kissing your head.

“Thanks” you whispered, kissing his cheek.

“Now we’re ready” Seve told Eddie as he started reading with the music in the background.

“Okay… let’s begin” Eddie said, kissing your head before returning to the book.

This was your absolute favorite place in the world. Lying here with Steve and Eddie felt like the safest spot on the planet. Where nothing could hurt you. It was just the three of you and you wouldn’t have it any other way.

I may not always love you But long as there are stars above you You never need to doubt it I'll make you so sure about it God only knows what I'd be without you

The End

Time travel, it's a funny thing really, even funnier when you take in account all the different interpretations of its inner workings. So, what if we take out boy Spider, and put him in yet another ridiculous situation like we usually do? By that I mean sending him back before even the events of the first film and letting the chaos ensue.

Spider being, well, himself wants to fix whatever he can because he's just built like that. Problem with that is time doesn't like being messed with and will throw hands to keep things as they are. What now? you may ask. Well, Spider is not one to give up easily, he'll roll up his non existing sleeves, put on his game face and.... fail miserably, dyeing a horrible death in the process.

And what now? you may ask again. You're right to be confused, but you're forgetting that there's still a baby to be born to one of the worst of the demons and a pilot, one who is yet to even be called Spider. That's right, this is a time loop.

This one will live trough life, doing the same things as the first one, getting sent back, until he too fails the same way. Then the next one, and the one after that, will do the same, on and on until, eventually, one decides to leave behind a clue for his (future/present/past?) self, just in case. And the dominoes start falling from there.

I won't go into detail of what he does because it would be way to long, but it's basically millions upon millions of tries until he get's to the "golden" run, where he's basically herding people around into "safe spots" without them knowing. Yes, he did throw a fire extinguisher at Quaritch so he would miss Grace's vitals, she still had to transfer but it worked this time (thus Kiri being born, but with her bio mom being alive and well. I leave the rest to your imagination.)

That leaves us with pretty much everyone alive (Yes, Sylwanin is alive. That's how far back he went) and casualties on the human side being kept to a minimum.

All anyone clearly saw of future Spider was the human stranger with dreaded hair, standing over Quaritch's dead body right outside the shack Jake was in ( kinda dark, I know), leading to him becoming kind of his own legend amongst the na'vi (they do figure out he's been helping them all along, their not dumb) This is also why Jake decided to dread his hair, in honor of the stranger who was saving their asses from the background.

Sadly, Spider does die one final time, sufferings from an injury he got while saving Tsu'tey from doing that funny fall. That does fix the paradox of there being two Spiders sooo, win I guess?

After that, everything goes on as normal as it can be, what with everyone being alive and all. They do eventually find the clues left behind by the MANY Spiders and piece together what happened, they don't believe it at first, but all of that, combined with Spider growing up and becoming a spiting image of the stranger leaves them with little else (Imagine learning that your sister, father and a bunch of other important people to you are still alive only because the boy you hate for being the "Spawn of that demon" was sent back in time countless times, died countless deaths, all so everyone else could have a happier life, couldn't be me)

I'm also imagining that Eywa (She's more like a literal goddess here, not full on cosmic being, but enough to see trough time) saw all of it and at the half way point was like "PLEASE STOP! Even one was enough, just please!" all the while the embodiment of Spider's will was cackling like a gremlin " I ain't even half way done!"

Best of all, Miguel O'Hara can't do shit about it (The time loop is a cannon event)

So yeah, that's my thingy to you, a bit long (sorry!) but it is there.

Ooh, well I haven't seen a Spider time travel fic yet, only ones with the other Sully's or with the people from the first movie coming forward in time.

I do loooove a time loop, it's like a little mystery to figure out exactly how the perfect series of events can pan out. I love that Quaritch still dies though, that makes me happy. Spider of COURSE had to throw a fire extinguisher.

I am fascinated by how lonely his time in the past must have been. Especially if he was still a teenage boy. And if he went back as far as saving Sylwanin, dude was like so fucking old by the time they made it to the end there. He was older than Neytiri then so his ass was like nearing the end of middle aged. His bones are creaking their way around the forest. Where did he fucking live, how did he have the supplies to breathe and care for his human needs, how did no one notice him for like forty years?? So many questions.

Also hilarious to imply Eywa had nothing at all to do with this and was just watching.

#eywa like well i didn't do that #miles spider socorro #spider socorro #spider sully #miles quaritch #grace augustine #kiri sully #sylwanin #jake sully #neytiri sully #avatar #avatar the way of water #james cameron avatar #melissa's asks #melissa on avatar (cameron)

MAG 161 Relisten

Activity on my first listen: cutting the Kolkwitzia amabilis (also know as beauty bush?? apparently?) in my garden.

I think it was the right move to keep the story as they envisioned it. Covid was a massive event that nobody could have foreseen in this detail (like, we knew there's the danger of more zoonotic diseases due to humans and animals living so close to each other on such a grand scale, but like not when and how exactly it would be). It was very unfortunate to be timed so close, but as they said: writing and some of the production happened before the pandemic. There was no way they could have taken this into consideration during production. And as far as I know, a lot of people found TMA during the pandemic and it kept them company during lockdowns.

ALEX: "We will of course continue to provide content warnings in the show notes for every episode, and we advise everyone to check these even if customarily you don't." Me, being like "I don't need content warnings! I've walked through 30 years of my life with a few horrible things and I never needed content warnings for any of the 450+ horror movies I’ve seen, and that number doesn’t even include horror TV shows or short stories". Also me, after the show "Uhhhh, maybe there is something to content warnings..." Don’t be me, check the content warnings, take your time.

The new logo looks really cool, but I miss the old one in the YouTube videos. That smoke effect just doesn't work that well with the new logo. Also I think the logo was a bit of a spoiler, as I immediately suspected the tapes might be Web.

MARTIN: "Sorry, sorry; Tim wanted to surprise you, and –" TIM: "Snitch." Oh god, this is harmful to Martin on two levels... Number one: Jon still "hated" him back then. Jon didn't seem too happy about the surprise. So Martin's alarm bells go off and he tries to protect himself from potential angry Jon fallout. And then number two, Tim as well "attacks" him (even if he only meant it teasingly, it did sounds a bit on the annoyed side). But you know that's the thing with some situations like this, social anxiety, bullying... You start to get hyper-vigilant and hyper-reactive to the emotions of others as a defense mechanism. Recognize danger before or when it's already rising to keep yourself safe.

MARTIN: (hmph) "Well – I preferred going out for ice cream anyway." I talked about this before in discussions about Jon's and Martin's age and I think Martin's birthday is sometime between May and early September. That's at least the ice cream season in Central Europe. Of course they cooould have gone to a dedicated ice cream saloon at any time of the year (how are those doing financially in winter? I've always wondered about that...), buuuut let's look at the timeline. I still think Gertrude died in March and not in May and that thing in MAG 25 was an error and at first done to give the statement even more fuckery. So our Archives team started in Spring 2015 (maaaybe early Summer, if you want to keep May a possibility). Martin has already had his birthday before they celebrated Jon's here. Jon's birthday is sometime between Summer 2015 and Spring 2016 (cause then they're been working in the Archives for a year). And on July 29th 2016 the Archive was attacked by Prentiss and Sasha died. That would also kind of mean that Martin is older than Jon and I love that idea because I think Jon hated that XD (Aside from him already thinking Martin's older than him because Martin also cheated with his age...)

SASHA: "Yes, you were there!" MARTIN: "You had – rum and raisin, and taught us all about emulsifiers." Also part of the defense mechanism of hyper-vigilance. Trying to remember everything. Also rum and raisin? Jon really tried to push the I'm old-image.

ELIAS: "Knock knock." Who is it, Mr. Spider. It's Mr. Bluebottle. And he's brought you a cake.

ELIAS: "He didn’t have to. Nothing escapes my notice, and I like to keep an eye out for this sort of thing." I had a boss like this once xD Whenever someone brought pastries, he was immediately there! He has unintentionally built himself a small reputation around the office. He once told me, he of course knows about that, but one time he did not immediately jump at the chance and then there was nothing left for him. So he will keep up with being known as the sweet-tooth who's always the first, otherwise he might miss out xD

ELIAS: "So, how old is the birthday boy?" JON: "Uh – thirty-eight." SASHA: "Liar." And by assuming he just made himself 10 years older, we have his actual age!

EVERYONE: "Happy birthday, dear –" TIM, SASHA, MARTIN: "– Jo-on." ELIAS: (simultaneous) "– Archivist." Smug, disgusting, grooming bastard...

JON: "If I wish for you all to go away, do you think it’ll work?" T__________T

JON: "You know that there’s a lot of tannin in tea as well?" In black and green tea, yes, but only after letting it steep for more than 2 minutes.

JON: "Hang on, have you been recording this?" [CLOTHING RUSTLING.] TIM: "Oh! Yeah! I – just thought it might be nice, you know, something to look back on when we’re all old and sick of each other." T__________T Especially that coming from Tim... Also Tim doing the hidden tape recorder thing here...

MARTIN: (gentle) "Hey." JON: ""Hi." So the breathing sounds and these two words were the first thing I heard of them after MAG 160. And I was so relieved to hear that Jon's still Jon.

MARTIN: "I don’t know. It’s not like there are days to count, anymore, (sigh) all the clocks are stopped, and…" Glad it came up here again, cause that's vital information and I wouldn't have caught that the first time around cause I didn't listen to the trailers.

MARTIN: "Well, just as well I don’t remember my dream." JON: "I do." MARTIN: "What?" It's pretty dark, but it's humor, I’ll take it!

MARTIN: (trying) "Bit of a hideaway?" JON: "Or a prison." MARTIN: "..Yes. Still, better than outside." More of the Martin-tries-to-salvage-the-situation-at-least-a-little-bit and Jon-is-unable-to-see-any-hope-or-other-positive-views-whatsoever... It does make so much sense for both characters.

JON: "Y-Yes. It – It doesn’t want to harm me." MARTIN: "And me?" JON: "I won’t let it." Hell yeah! Also a bit of a first glimpse of Jon-being-a-demigod

MARTIN: "Jon, it’s not your fault." JON: (sharp) "Martin, can we not do this again?" T__________T God, this episode...

JON: "I’m just – I’m mourning a world I killed –" MARTIN: (overlapping, placating) "I know –" JON: (increasingly fervent) "and we’re all trapped in its rotting corpse!–" MARTIN: (strict, end of discussion) "Enough, Jon." Oh god, Jon sounds as if he's about to cry any second after that "rotting corpse" and Martin is losing his patience a bit there. I get it, he doesn't want Jon hurting and it’s frustrating.

That is such a twisting-the-knife move to actually have a tape wherein Gertrude warns about... everything! I mean, we see how much is destroys Jon.

GERTRUDE: "They do not rule our world, but they do exercise considerable power, which they generally manifest in the form of monstrous beings that spread further fear – or, incarnations, those humans who have willingly, though not always knowingly, chosen to take on the power of these entities." God I LOVE how the music picks up at "or, incarnations"! I think it’s the same track as in MAG 9, when the Lightless Beast knocks on the door! Cause that part of the music picking up also really got me in MAG 9. Ahhh, I miss the S1 tracks...

GERTRUDE: "I’ve managed to keep the Archives in a state of chaos for decades, as I believe his plan would benefit from their organization. But I leave that to your judgement." Come to think of, is this actually the first time we hear that it was not neglect, but fully intentional to keep the Archives in such chaos?

GERTRUDE: "A place… (she sighs) A place that will often demand a high price from you." That sigh and that pause. So it did nag a bit on her? Sacrificing so many people?

GERTRUDE: (overlapping) "Do you know the gas main, a little way out in the tunnel?" LEITNER: "I do." GERTRUDE: "I need you to move it." Ah yes, more foreshadowing! We already heard about that gas main in MAG 68. And about Gertrude using gas mains to blow up places of Beholding in MAG 53.

GERTRUDE: "If my guess is right, the Church’s ritual should be collapsing any time now, so – immediately." Hmm, so that is probably the second to last recording of Gertrude. I wonder why she didn't talk about her theory of the single-entity-rituals might be doomed to fail anyway.

JON: "Can you imagine? If we’d had this?" MARTIN: "But we didn’t, did we." JON: "No –" MARTIN: "So there’s no point in dwelling. (heavy breath) John, I – This isn’t healthy." Aw man, there are times I've been so much like Jon. And there's no way around it, you just can't help it in that moment.

JON: "Healthy? I am an Avatar of voyeuristic terror, who unquestioned craving for knowledge has condemned the entire world to an eternity of torment; healthy i-isn’t – i,it’s not –" First of all: Theater kid... Second, I think it was totally necessary for us as audience that Jon spoke out loud how exactly he thinks that this was all his fault.

MARTIN: "It just – It hurts me to see you wallowing like this." JON: (snapping) "Well, some of us weren’t able to cut ourselves off from the world before it ended." Hmmm, it is so hurtful, but also feels so real. Jon saw it as... an accusation? Like, and now Martin says, he's feeling bad because of me because of course everything is my fault, but maybe if Martin had been there just a little bit before all of this, maybe it wouldn't have happened! (Dwelling again...)

MARTIN: "That’s not fair." JON: "No, it’s not; I’m – I’m sorry, I just – (large shaky breath) It hurts." Martin having a quite reasonable approach. He knows it's not Jon's fault. He knows, the general period with Peter wasn't what caused this (Cause later we hear he very well feels conflicted about his choice in the panopticon). There is no one else at fault but Jonah Magnus.

MARTIN: "A way to stop this, a way to turn the world back!" JON: (softer) "Do you really think there is one?" MARTIN: "Well, if there is, it’s not in here, is it?" Hmmm, Martin's definitely right there... But I can also understand Jon's wish to stay at the cabin. Even without that supernatural cabin-makes-them-want-to-stay-because-it-seems-safe...

JON: "No, it’s – (sigh) I love you, I just – (inhale) I need more time." AAAAAAAAAh <3

MARTIN: "Hey – Hey, when did you start recording?" JON: (confusion) "I – didn’t. I only brought one, and I’ve been using it to play the tapes." MARTIN: "Oh. (sigh) That’s not a great sign." JON: "No. No, it’s not." A bit in conflict with the trailer because Jon addresses the recorder about exactly that... Oh hang on, I guuuuuuess we could possibly see the trailer as happening after this? There is nothing that would contradict it, is there? Especially Martin's "You still… (sigh) Feeling it, seeing everything?" could be seen as reference to the conversation in MAG 161. Earlier, in the first scene of Jon and Martin it sounds like Jon describes his "seeing all the terror outside" as if he's laying that out for Martin for the first time. I wooould say it could possibly be due to the nature of Martin being a bit bewitched by the cabin (like not noticing tea is not!tea), buuuuut this doesn't work with Jon's confused reaction right here in MAG 161. (Also, I'd say it’s not necessarily a bad sign, as it indicated that there is indeed something that it still wants to hear!)

Hi Spooky !!! Sorry I’ve been kinda dead on the asks end (i have been keeping up with terrible trilogy and I’m loving it) but the Scream 6 trailer ?????? WHAT ????

Okay so I wasn’t as excited for it, specially because of Neve not being in it (still hoping that’s just them trying to trick us but she’s actually in the movie) but holy fucking shit the new tRAILER ????

YES !! YES !! I started screaming when watching the trailer “it’s Stu ! He survived ! It’s the cult plotline” cause I don’t fucking know where I saw this but Im SURE that one of the scrapped plots for 3 was Stu survived, went to jail and in jail found this cult like following and used them to terrorize Sidney (damn we could‘ve had it all)

The knife thing, the old ghostface mask, the literal fucking cult he has now !! All those ppl in the train (?) are probably red herrings, just ppl in their Halloween costumes, BUT OH MY GOD WHAT IF THEIR ALL IN THE CULT AND KILLING PPL ??? Actually terrifying

GF with a gun was hot (obviously) but I also lost it a little like ??? IS THAT ALLOWED ??? HE CANT HAVE A FUCKING GUN ??? Hot and also very scary (fucking delicious)

I’m now so excited for this fucking movie !! It’ll be the first Scream movie I get to see in theaters 🥺 so im really happy it’s gonna happen and I stg if I see Matthew Lillard getting unmasked— SPECIALLY if they pull some “Surprise Sidney” call back I think I’ll just cum immediately (is that too much ???? Nooo.... maybe ?? Idk you tell me skskskks)

If it’s not Stu however I think i have accidentally ruined this one for myself KSKSKSKS oh god

Star! I missed you where have you been loca? 😭💘

No valid!! I was so against it w/o Neve, I was like meh looks alright with the first trailer but the second??? I'm so sorry Neve but I gotta see it 🥲🎟

Him having a cult would be so damn amazing, never done before, scary af and SO FITTING FOR STU MACHER! AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE SHRINE? IMAGINE STU HAVING BILLY'S GF COSTUME IN THE MIDDLE AND OBSESSING OVER GETTING HIS KID TO DIE OR JOIN HIM

Everyone talks about Billy but Stu was by far the scariest. Jill was really the only GF imo trying to hold a candle to Billy (We can't count Roman bc he was on his own and the original technically and Mrs. Loomis as well obviously). But how many GF's have we had try to be like Stu? Mickey may have fanboyed Billy but he acted like Stu, Amber for sure, Charlie gladly took Stu's role next to Jill's Billy (Slapping himself and saying just like Billy and Stu the lil nerdling) Why? BECAUSE STU WAS THE MOVIE AND YOU AIN'T NEVER HAD A GF DUO LIKE BILLY AND STU

Stu was the og whose death wasn't clear, he was the goat and the franchise is doing such a fucking disservice to Matthew and fans by not finally showing SOMETHING to do with Stu Macher. 5 Movies and he's barely even mentioned??? No hate to Roman stans but it should have been Stu. BUUTTT Scream 6 looks infinitely better than 3 so if we get Stu in 6 being the baddest fucking GF we've ever seen AND with a cult following; I will be happy.

No it's not to much bc if I see Stu being that skilled with a shotgun and a knife pulling some marvel moves and shit? That's gonna be my porn forever. The edits of this mystery GF already have me feeling a certain way 😩❤️‍🔥😏🥵

(Give me peepaw GF I NEED IT if Michael Myers fans get a middle aged to old man to simp for so do we damn it)

The Fam Reacts To The Classic Child's Play

AN: If I missed a certain scene you might have wanted. Message ME!

The Rays sat down on their couch covered with blankets and with their butter popcorn in hand, ready to watch the classic Child's Play.

"Ok first off! I want no hate from any of you! They did my teeth no justice. That fuckin traumatized me. AND, I was WAY more handsome than that actor Brad Dourif. (No hate to Brad!) This is just to give you an idea of what went down ok. YA GOT IT!"

"Yeah yeah, PLAY THE MOVIE!"

"Yeah, Dad!"

They get to the point when the twins see their Father as a human and they both look at each other bewildered a little creeped out seeing him human. Sure they had seen photo's of him human but to actually see him moving and talking was a whole other story.

"UM. PAUSE. Dad. HOW ARE YOU LOSING IN THIS CHASE SCENE?"

"I GOT SHOT IN THE GOD DAMN LEG! I think that's a valid excuse."

"Also, What's up with that hair?"

"It was the 80's! People had wild hair! Plus I didn't see the need to cut it."

They get to the scene where Eddie drives off and leaves him.

"What an ASS"

"MUM!"

"Sorry Sweetface"

Glenda cringes at the fact that she sees her dad screaming at Eddie not to leave him. HER father of all people.

"Man, I looked pathetic, screaming for help."

They get to the point where Chucky transfers his soul into the doll.

"Dad.... so far I'm disappointed in your human serial killer act."

"HEY! At least I found a way to come back."

Later Into the film

They get to the point where they show Chucky's sworn enemy Andy Barclay in the film and even the sight of him pissed Chucky off.

"Little Shit. That Little Fucker fucked up my face."

"What? Is that how you got your scars?"

"I'll tell you later"

"I hate that kid. Andy Fucking Barclay"

On the screen, it shows Maggie getting hit by a hammer and her falling out of the building. A concerned look on Glen's face and laughter from Chucky and an evil smirk from his wife and daughter.

"One of my best kills's don't ya think Tiff?"

"Oh yeah. That was good"

LATER ON

Eddie Caputo returns to the screen and a frown spreads across Tiffany's face.

"I still can't believe that asshole left you."

"Yeah I know right! Fuckin Traitor."

"Yeah, what happened to him Dad?"

"Haha, You'll see"

Eddie Dies From Explosion.

"Oh."

"Tiff. Where are my Pork--"

"In the cabinet on the left Sweetface."

"Thanks, Tiff."

Chucky got up and went to grab one of his favorite snacks and took a detour to the bathroom. When he returned he grinned seeing what part of the film they were on. One of his favorites. He almost choked on his soda at the actual memory.

"I SAID TALK TO ME DAMNIT OR ELSE I'M GONNA THROW YOU IN THE FIRE!"

Tiffany paused the film right before Chucky came to life.

"Kids. Daddy's gonna say some really bad words. And if I catch you using this type of language EVER! I'm gonna wash your move out with soup! And no IPad's for the rest of the month! You understand?"

"Yes Mom"

"Yes Mum"

Tiffany hit the play button.

"YOU STUPID BITCH! YOU FILTHY SLUT! DON'T YOU FUCK WITH ME! ARGH!!!!" *Then proceeds to bite Karen*

"Dad, what the actual flip was that?"

"Yeah, you looked like a fricken animal gremlin thing."

"Ummm. Ok, I was pissed and wanted to scare the bitch. I was about to be thrown into a god damn fire! What did you expect? For me to give her a hug?"

Later On

We're skipping some parts and getting to the most important parts this movie is so long XD

Chucky creeps into Andy's hospital bed and pulls off the covers only to find pillows instead and Andy makes his escape.

"Dad? How did you get outsmarted by a 6-year-old boy?"

"Ok. I didn't expect the kid to be "smart" ok? JEEZ! I thought he would be a dumb naive little kid who would just go along with everything I said. AND HE DID for the most part at the beginning of the Film."

They get to the scene where Chucky goes up the elevator.

"Ugly Doll"

"Fuck You."

"Dad she ain't wrong."

"GLENDA!"

"Well, you look okay now. It's just they made you look so human-like. It's kinda creeping me out."

Chucky gets trapped in the fireplace by Andy and his mom.

"Andy Nooo. We're friends to the end. Remember?"

"This is the END FRIEND!"

Chucky's set ablaze, screaming and running around.

Tiffany cringed at the sight of her husband in pain.

"Holy Shit"

Andy discovers Chucky is gone and is on the floor crawling away from Chucky's burned body.

"Dad you look horrifying."

"I know and they made me look like I have a big ass head."

"You do tho."

Chucky rolled his eyes, gave her the finger, and continued watching the movie.

Karen shoots Chucky to pieces but he still isn't going down.

"Dad how the heck are you still going?"

"I'ma fuckin trooper that's why."

Mike Norris' partner comes and is then strangled by Chucky's arm.

Glen jumps at the scene "HOLY! Dad your arm scared me."

"SHOOT HIM! SHOOT HIM IN THE HEART!"

The bullet fires and finally kills Chucky.

"DAD SERIOUSLY! HOW MANY TIMES ARE YOU GOING TO KEEP COMING BACK!"

"HAHAHA! You know what they say. You just can't keep a Good Guy down."

Glenda internally facepalms at her father's smartass remark.

"Hi, I'm Chucky. Wanna PLAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY"

MOVIE ENDS.

"Dad what in the actual heck."

"So that's how you got trapped inside the doll."

"Yep."

"Dad you are one creepy MotherFu-----"

"GLENDA RAY! Don't you dare finish that sentence!"

"HAHAHA!"

TAGGED BY: @goxinsane ( the loveliest. )

TAGGING: hey, you. yes, you. do it. it’s fun.

GET TO KNOW THE MUN: 🍸

⋆ what’s your phone’s wallpaper ? wallpaper is a photo of when i met D’Arcy Carden the first time. I was cheesing really hard. She’s so wonderful, and all of the glittery amazing things you would expect, and more. my lock screen is when i met Jessica Chastain the second time. also, ultimate cheesing. she’s....i mean, obviously incredible.

⋆ the last song you listened to ? ‘true blue’ by boygenius. im seeing them next week and pretty stoked, so this playlist will be filling my ears until then. i’ve seen julien, and phoebe before, but not lucy (who i love, love, love.) super excited. i’m also dying my hair grey and dressing like phoebe in the music video...because i’m THAT person. nobody asked for these written out answers, but here you have it.

⋆ currently reading ? i have this habit of reading like five books back to back super fast, and then not reading for a handful of months after. however, i began Lauren Graham’s book, ‘Have I told you this already?’ I love her so much. Excited to pick it up again and finish it. Gilmore Girls for life, am i right ??

⋆ last movie you saw ? I think it was the live action Little Mermaid. Halle was amazing. Also, Melissa slayyyyyyed. Truly.

⋆ last show you watched ? Mindhunter. Doing a rewatch, because my girlfriend never saw it, and i have a deep, deep love for Anna Torv.

⋆ what are you wearing right now ? a smol navy tank top with green, white and yellow stripes on it, with highwaisted black mom jeans that still smell heavily of Le Labo, Santal 33 (iykyk...) as i wore these two days ago...and didn’t wash them. judge away if you must. haha

⋆ how tall are you ? five-four and a quarter. the quarter matters. my girlfriend is shorter than me, and makes me feel so tall.

⋆ piercings / tattoos ? i have my ears pierced traditionally. i’d like to get a couple more on my ears, but i got my ears pierced as a baby, and the unknown feeling freaks me out a lot. tattoos, i think last i counted was 19...which is wild...because it doesn’t seem like that many. i have a need for more. soon.

⋆ glasses / contacts ? glasses. i have trouble seeing far away. i don’t wear them a ton. which reminds me, i need to replace a screw in one of my pairs.

⋆ last thing you ate ? pasta. it was for breakfast. shh. i know, it’s wild. then i wonder why i have acid reflux.

⋆ favorite color(s) ? cerulean. which, as a kid...i thought it was called ‘chlorine.’ also, burnt orange, mustardy yellow, chartreuse. i think as i’ve gotten older, i’ve grown a wider love for colors in general. i used to hate green, but now i love.

⋆ current obsession ? sitting outside. i think it’s because i’m from michigan, and moving to somewhere where it’s all sunny all of the time has been wonderful to feel. not to quote boygenius, but, ‘winter bitch, but summers in my blood.’ i’m also just so in love with D’Arcy Carden, Succession.... i’m scheduling my grief. it ended so deliciously, but i’m going to miss it so, so much. Speaking of grief, yellowjackets, and Ted Lasso !! also, beyonce’s renaissance album is forever my obsession. super excited to see this tour.

⋆ do you have a crush right now ? you mean...besides miss D’Arcy Carden... who wrapped her arms around me, and looked at my girlfriend and said, ‘sorry girlfriend!’ ....and then i embarrassingly told her she was my hall pass.... mmm yeah. no. that’s the only crush, right now. sorry girlfriend !

⋆ favorite fictional character ? ooo. that’s downright tough. probably Villanelle, from Killing Eve.

⋆ last place you visited ? spontaneous trip to Los Angeles a few days ago for a lovely, sparkly, concert.

#shhh ki #get to know the mun #lmao that instagram notification seems shameless it is it was just the moment

How much research do you do for the average chapter of SWG?

well it depends!! earlier in the process, i spent a LOT of time watching (and rewatching) the youtuber CZsworld’s videos explaining the history of the main characters and going through each film one by one to point out easy-to-miss details. i hadn’t seen any of the movies besides the first one when i started swg (and i still haven’t seen 4-7), so this was REALLY key to making sure i understood the characters and the timeline. that said, i’ve taken enough notes on those aspects now that i don’t really need to consult them anymore! i might still have to check the wiki for things like character ages or to see certain details (if daniel’s mom has a canon name/appearance/etc, to give you a recent example), but basically i just go on my own now.

for other things, it really depends on the chapter and what it needs!! for some of the television scenes, i looked up tv shows that would have existed (and episodes that would have AIRED) by or during 2002, and every song that’s played within the text is a song that would have been released in october 2002, as well. the ONE exception to that so far has been feeling this by blink-182, but i wanted to include that song so bad that i didn’t mind cheating LMAO. the only other “cheat” i’ve done was having the bluetooth earpiece be publicly available— in real life, the first prototype WAS developed in 2002, but they didn’t hit public markets until 2003. and yes i know NOW that the first movie takes place in 2004 and not 2001, but i didn’t know that when i started the story. and i’ve decided just to commit to the bit now! if it’s going to be erroneously set in 02 then it is going to be the MOST accurate 02 i can write.

the overall plot of the story is also hammered in stone now, so i don’t have to spend as much time pre-planning chapters as i used to! i would say i have to do 3-6 google searches per chapter, usually either to confirm lore details or to make sure the technology/food/pop culture/etc existed in 2002! i have also consulted weather records for the real-life city i’ve based the metro on (yes it is a concrete place no i will not name the city, in honor of The Bit), but i don’t follow those like gospel, more use them for suggestions!!

sorry for rambling but i just get so excited to talk craft/theory about swg 😅 i hope this answered your question!!!

Episode 38 Transcript: Molly... It's 2007

[intro guitar music]

G: Hello, my name is Grey.

C: And my name is Crystal.

G: And this is Busty Asian Beauties, the Supernatural commentary podcast where I, someone who has seen this show several times…

C: And I, someone who only knows the show through social media, discuss every single episode of Supernatural from start to finish. Also, we are both Asian.

G: Both Asian!

So for today's episode, we will be discussing Season 2, Episode 16: “Roadkill,” written by Raelle Tucker, directed by Charles Beeson. Whoo!

C: This is such a non-episode.

G: Okay, so I know that you think of this episode as extremely boring, and like, a failed horror movie submission.

C: Yes.

G: However, I think it's okay! Like, I think it makes some good points. I think there's some things to ponder about on it. It's certainly an episode that's good for like, a podcast discussion, 'cause there's like, meat here that you can pick apart, right? I think.

C: Yeah. I would agree with you. Except regarding the meat, to be completely honest with the viewers, I watched this episode once, like, three weeks ago [both laugh], so let's see how much I can do that.

G: [laughing] For context, we have not recorded an episode in three weeks, so let's see. Let's see. Let's see what we're going to do today. I honestly- like, I will admit, [laughing] the first time I watched this episode, I did fall asleep in the middle of watching it.

C: So true.

G: Literally, I was watching it, and it's like, two hours before our recording, and I was like, “Okay, I need to watch it now,” and then I put it on, fall asleep wake up like, three hours later, and be like, “Sorry, Crystal! [C laughing] I missed our schedule because I literally fell asleep while watching the episode.” So that's fun.

C: Yeah.

G: But I think, despite falling asleep on it, it does have some meat to it, which- let's get into. So, okay, before going into this episode, I would guess that you didn't know anything about this one except for the line at the end.

C: Yeah, right, I did know about the hope being the whole point line. I guess, I think I have heard beforehand that “Roadkill” was one of the scarier episodes, so I guess I was anticipating more of a horror bent to this one, which I got, but I didn't know anything else, yeah.

G: Yeah, exactly. So yeah, let's start.

“The Road So Far” is your basic “Road So Far.” This is how you know that something is a fucking monster of the week because they do the whole "dad wants us to pick up where he left off," which I already have memorized.

C: Yeah. "Saving people. Hunting things. [both] The family business."

G: And I actually think that line is very significant in this episode. Like, saving people, hunting things.

G: We start on this highway where a couple is fighting over, like, the guy not knowing how to read a map. And they're lost, and then they do this bit where he's like, "I know exactly where we are, we're like, in Highway 91." And then like, they zoom in on a like, a road sign that says, like, "Highway 41," and I thought that was incredibly funny.

C: It is.

G: But, you know, they're they're like, kind of mad at each other, it's their anniversary, and they need to go to Lake Tahoe, which we saw like, a couple episodes back, right?

C: Oh, yeah, yeah, in "Croatoan," there was a advertisement for Lake Tahoe or something, right? Or maybe it was a different lake.

G: Yeah, maybe it's a different lake.

C: Now I wanna check.

G: But I'm learning so much about American geography from Supernatural.

C: Oh, it was for Crater Lake.

G: Oh.

C: So yeah, different lake.

G: Different lake. Sorry, my bad. I am learning nothing from Supernatural.

And then they start like, you know, the guy starts being teasing her that like, "Oh, you're not really mad at me. You love me." And then like, they start flirting it up. And then they crash into a tree. Well, no, they crash- they're about to crash into a person, so the woman who is driving brakes and then crashes into a tree. So- oh, also, a detail I missed is-

C: Yeah, the music.

G: Yeah, all throughout this scene there's a music playing, which is gonna be important. It's "House of the Rising Sun" by the Animals, which I know.

C: I also know, yeah.

G: Is this a famous song?

C: It is a famous song, so I thought it was kind of funny that they used it as like, a main plot point of this episode.

G: Yeah.

C: Every time they put a famous song in, I'm like, “And you couldn't afford Zep?”

G: No, the only reason why I know this song- I don't think it's famous here, but I do know it, because it's in the same album as "We Gotta Get out of This Place," also by The Animals, which is a song that plays in a later episode that makes me a little bit cuckoo. So I have listened to that album. Which, you know, if you know the scene that I'm talking about like, it's literally a scene. In Supernatural. [laughs]

C: I have no clue.

G: It's the one where like, Cas is standing on the road and then Dean is like, seeing him after Purgatory.

C: Oh my god. Okay.

G: Yeah, and like, the lyrics are like, "We gotta get out of this place if this is the last thing we ever do," and it's like, noo! No. But yeah, I love that song, and I love this album. That's my take of the day.

Anyway, that's what happens, and then I think we get our splash screen here.

C: I think so.

G: Yeah, maybe. Maybe not. Who cares? Who cares, you guys? [laughs]

C: So we- oh, no, it's not the splash screen yet. I think it goes dark, and like, I thought it was gonna be a splash screen, and then we're still at Molly and we're still at the tree, and I'm like, "Something is off about this episode because we haven't cut to Sam and Dean yet."

G: Yeah, but like, it makes sense because I feel like the vibe they were going for in this episode is "What would it feel like if you were one of the people that Sam and Dean are helping?" right" Like, they purposefully keep you in the dark, they're kind of assholes, you look at them and they look like fucking serial killers-

C: [laughs] Yeah.

G: Like, that's the vibe that they have. And this episode does a really good job of showing that, and just- it starts off boring because they're not in much of the beginning. That's like, the only downfall of that part. But I think the execution is good for what it was trying to do.

C: Mm-hm. So yeah, we cut to still Molly, so you're like, "Oh, okay so she's kind of the main on this episode, then, 'cause it's not just like, she dies and then we go to a case." So yeah, she's been crashed against a tree. She's in the car alone. And like- so it seems like David has abandoned her. So Kendall Roy-core of him. [G laughs] So she is like, calling for him. She's kind of injured, and like- or no, actually, is she not injured? Like, she's surprisingly not injured?

G: She has blood on her lip and then that's it. She's not injured at all.

C: Yeah. She's surprisingly uninjured as she gets out of the car and starts calling out for David. And like, she's in these like, really dark and misty woods. It's a creepy vibe. And then she sees like, a light in the distance and there's a cabin there, which is clearly bad news, but she goes to it anyway. And she goes in to ask for help, and inside, she sees like, standing in the shadows, like, the guy she almost hit with her car. And she says, like, "It's you. You're okay! I'm so sorry." But he's turned around, and she can't see this, but like, his stomach is like, basically cut open and you can see his intestines and shit.

G: Yeah, his guts are spilling out.

C: Yeah. And she keeps trying to talk to him, and then he turns around, and he's bloody, and there's blood coming out of his mouth, and his face is like, rotting or whatever, and she sees his guts, and she screams, and then we get the splash screen.

G: God. I don't remember this episode at all. [C laughs] Like, at all. No recollection of it at all. But like, at this moment, I guessed immediately what the twist was gonna be.

C: Oh!

G: Shall we hold off on the twist so like, people who also do not remember this episode, which I bet there's a lot of them, also like, gets a shock later on? But obviously, there's gonna be a twist, and you've probably already guessed it. It's a very easy twist to guess. It depends on-

C: I didn't guess it until quite late.

G: Did you guess it when Sam and her was talking?

C: No, literally no.

G: No? Oh my god, okay.

C: I just kept thinking that the thing would be that, like, David made a deal with the guy to like, let him go and make her be the tortured one, you know? Yeah, I didn't know the- because they were like, "Oh, it's like, cruel to have her pine after him like this," and they kept saying like, "Oh, he's alive for sure," so I was like, "Oh, he's alive because he's a dick." But yeah, no, that wasn't the twist.

G: Yeah. [laughs] The twist was- let's cut this out, and I'll repeat this joke later- the twist was literally "right where you left me" by outdean. [both laughing]

C: Literally.

G: Like, when she shows up at the door, I was like, "Oh my god! It's literally 'right where you left me' by outdean."

C: I know!

G: So true.

Well, maybe I can put that in, and then, like, if you know "right where you left me," you'll know what it is, and if you don't, you don't. So true of us. Literally you have to know BABPod lore to understand our podcast. [laughs] You have to have listened to all previous episodes and be a Ko-Fi donor.

Anyway, we go back to Molly again. So this is the point, I think, where I started being like, a little bit sleepy [laughs]. Like, I was like, "Why are we still here? Why am I still here?"

C: Yeah, it was like, "Where are my friends, Sam and Dean?"

G: Literally, I miss Sam and Dean. Who would have thought? Like, never would I have thought to have missed Sam and Dean, but- She's running through the woods, and she goes into the main road, and she stops a car. Much akin to the car stopping from earlier. And now, the car she has stopped is black and big and beautiful. Babygirl, it's Baby! So it's Sam and Dean.

C: I think I literally went like, "Oh my god, it's Sam and Dean!"

G: Literally, it's Sam and Dean.

C: Because it had been so long in the episode, I was like, "Where the fuck are my friends?"

G: Sam rolls down his window and starts talking to this woman. They get off the car, and Molly talks to Sam and Dean about what happened to her. And while she's narrating this story, Dean interrupts her and basically goes, like, “Oh, the guy that he saw, did he look like he lost a fight with a lawnmower?" Which, if anyone ever said that to me, I would have no idea how to comprehend that, like, at all. To be fair, I've never seen a lawnmower in my life, so I don't know, like, the implications of that. The only time I've seen a lawnmower in my life in a Supernatural episode. [both laugh] And it didn't work, because Dean didn't know how to properly use it. Which I didn't even know-

C: Oh, the djinn episode.

G: The djinn episode, yeah. And I didn't even know that it wasn't working. I didn't know that that was the joke they were making, 'cause I don't know how lawnmowers work. I've never seen one in my fucking life! So, like, I think it was years later, when like, I was in the fandom and they were like, "He was using a lawnmower that wasn't even turned on!" and I was like, "Oh, really? Never would have guessed." [C laughs]

Molly's like, "Oh, how did, you know that?" and Dean's like, "Lucky guess." Dean all throughout this episode acts like a very "cool" guy. [C laughs] Cool guy in quotation marks. You know what I mean. Like, he acts like, a "cool guy." And honestly? [laughs] Honestly.

C: No. No. I don't like where you're going. [G laughing]

G: He is a cool guy! I think he's fun this episode.

C: I think he's annoying as shit this episode. Also, given the twist, he's being really mean.

G: Yeah. After the twist, I'm like, “Okay, this guy's a fucking asshole." But prior to the twist, I was just like- if I was like, a, you know, if I was a person who stumbled- because, again, the vibe of this episode is like, "What if you meet Sam and Dean? What would you think of them?" right?

C: [laughs] Yeah.

G: So like, that thought was like, at the back of my head. And I was thinking like, "Oh, if I meet Sam and Dean, what would I think of them?"

C: I would leave and die.

G: [laughs] I literally would leave and die in the woods. But I would think I think that Sam is a little bit too much, like, he's like, too emo, you know? [laughs]

C: Really?

G: Yeah.

C: Huh.

G: And I would think Dean is so cool. But like, not the kind of cool that you would want to be friends with, you know?

C: Right.

G: Like, just a guy that you would like to emulate type of guy.

C: Huh.

G: Which is like [laughs], the worst thing I've ever said in my life.

C: Yeah, can't relate.

G: But yeah.

C: Yeah, but I support you.

G: Thank you. You know how people say that, like, trans guys, like, like Dean Winchester? Like, I do not like that perspective because I think he's misogynistic, and I don't think he's like, a good guy to emulate masculinity from.

C: Yeah.

G: But literally, trans guys like Dean Winchester. [both laughing]

C: I just- Cas is literally right there.

I mean, I guess I get the appeal with Dean is that he tries so hard to perform masculinity that you find that relatable, but I feel like Cas is like, an example of like, how to be a man without being a dick. [laughs]

G: No, yeah, for real. I think that's very true. I think if you're gonna take a guy in Supernatural to be your example of what masculinity- what like, good and healthy masculinity should look like, I think Cas is right there. But, you know. [laughs]

C: Yeah. Cas is right where you left him. [G laughs]

G: So true. Anyway, we're literally off tangent every two seconds in this episode.

C: Yeah.

G: As we deserve, because we haven't recorded an episode in three weeks.

C: Also, if we only talked about this episode, then like, we'd have nothing to talk about. In my opinion. [G laughs]

G: Literally. Like, if we just talked about this episode, it'd be so fucking boring. But Sam and Dean are, you know, obviously nervous talking to this woman, and they're saying like, "Oh, we gotta get you back into town" and she's saying, "No, I have to find my husband." And she keeps on insisting that like, "I don't want to leave without him. Can you just take me to my car?" So they go to the area where she crashed her car, and it is not there.

C: Yep.

G: She keeps on saying that "Oh, you have to believe me, you have to believe me, it was right here, I don't know who would have taken it and stole it, you have to believe me," all that.

C: It's literally indistinguishable woods. Like, I would just assume that I misremembered the tree I crashed into.

G: Yeah, because, like, she was insisting about the tree, right? Like, "This is the tree I crashed into." And then I was like, "All of these trees look exactly the same."

Eventually, we pan to Sam and Dean, who are whispering to each other, and Sam's saying like, "We have to get out of here, like, Greeley [C laughs] could show up at any moment in time." And Dean says, "What are you gonna tell her?" Sam says, "The truth?" And Dean says, "She's gonna take off running in the other direction." [G laughing] Which, like, something so funny to me is that at the end of this episode, they call back to this, right? Like, they do a flashback sequence after the reveal of the twist, and it's literally so long and arduous-

C: Yeah, it's like, I get- I understand how media works. I understand that twists recontextualize past scenes. You don't have to play them for me again.

G: Like, it ruins the rewatch value of this episode. Because they shove it in your face.

They continue talking to her, and Dean tells her that, like, "We'll just take you to the cops, right? We'll take you to the station, and then they'll help you, and we'll help you. So let's go."

C: Yep. So they're driving, and as they're driving, Molly is talking to Sam - and Dean, but Sam's the only one engaging - about like, how she was supposed to be in Lake Tahoe with David and it's their five-year anniversary. And then she expresses regret that like, right before they crashed, they were having a fight. She says, "It was the only time we ever really argued, when we were stuck in the car."

G: So true.

C: And Sam was like, "Ha, I know how that goes," and Dean, like, glares at him.

G: Yeah, literally glares at him.

C: Yeah, so true.

G: It's quite funny.

C: Yeah, and then Molly goes- Molly is like, really upset, because she says, like, "The last thing I ever said to him is that, like, I called him a jerk, and like, what if, like, that is the last thing I ever said to him?"

G: That's not even a bad thing to say.

C: Yeah, it's not even a bad thing to say,

G: Like, "You're a jerk!" That's not bad.

C: Yeah, it was clearly like, a joke.

G: Yeah, they were like goofing around at that point.

C: They were just playing around as he tried to have sex with her while she was trying to drive the car, so honestly, he deserved this.

G: Trying to give her road head. [both laughing] Misha Collins would be proud.

C: Oh my god. [laughs]

G: Should we explain that? 'Cause I mean like, yeah-

C: Sure. Grey calls Road Food, the show that Misha Collins does, Road Head 'cause it's funny.

G: Yeah. We are not saying that Misha Collins has ever endorsed or done road head, so that's our disclaimer for this episode.

[laughing] What I thought back then was, "Wouldn't it be so funny if the last words she ever said to him, was like, 'jerk,' and then he, like, got offended then just said, like, 'bitch' [C laughing] and then they crashed intro the tree?"

C: Literally.

G: Literally. Like, the intensity, the gravitas of those two words are so different. Like, it would just be so fucking hilarious if it was "jerk" and then like, "What the fuck? [both] You bitch!" Literally.

C: Sorry, I'm just remembering that post that was like, "Happy International Women's Day to every woman that Dean has called a bitch. This includes Sam."

G: This includes Sam and also Molly. Like, I feel like he was like, murmuring "bitch" under his breath this entire episode.

C: Oh, definitely. Definitely later, when they recap the case like, offscreen, he calls her a bitch like, every other sentence. Yeah.

So Sam goes like, “Molly, we're gonna figure out what happened to your husband. I prommy." And then the radio starts like, sputtering, and then it starts playing "House of the Rising Sun," baby! Which is- I think it's a very good mood-setting piece.

G: Yeah.

C: It's very gloomy and ominous.

G: Honesty, I watched this episode last night, right? So it's been like, 24 hours for me. But right now, just thinking about this scene is giving me the creeps that I'm compelled to look behind me to see if there's anyone. It's quite a creepy- like, this song makes it creepy, I feel like. It has good creep factor, this episode.

C: Also, just the fact that I feel like people generally view themselves as in control of their machinery, like, their car and their radio, so just the concept of that being controlled by a ghost is [both] creepy.

Right, because, like, they're like, locked in this car, and it's like, you feel like you're supposed to be safe, but you're not... ooh. [laughs] Or whatever.

Yeah, so they get scared 'cause none of them actually turned the radio to that station, and then Molly says, "This is the song that was playing when we crashed." And then the radio crackles, and then we get like, the voice of Greeley, the lawnmower fight guy. And he says, like, again and again, "She's mine. She's mine. She's mine." And then he appears in the road and Dean fucking... pedal to the metal, baby.

G: Accelerates, yeah. Hit the metal- what's that? "Hit the pedal, heavy metal," like, that song from One Direction?

C: I don't know this song from One Direction.

G: I think everyone should know every song from One Direction [C laughs] like I do.

C: Every song?

G: Every song.

C: How? Don't they have, like, a lot?

G: Yeah! I was a fan when I was in sixth grade, yeah.

C: Oh, I was an edgy anti-One Direction person in sixth grade. [G laughs]

G: I was like, a fan in sixth grade, and then- I don't know why I worded it like that. I continued to be a fan for a very long time. [laughs]

C: Yeah.

G: But like, I wasn't particularly- like, I was that kind of person that was like, you know, like, I tell people like, "Oh, I like One Direction," and they start talking about the members, and I'm like, "I just like their music." Like, I was that person. I was probably annoying as fuck to everyone. But I really like their music. I like boy band music.

C: Yeah, okay. It's so brave of you to not engage with the Larries.

G: I just wasn't online, I think that's just the problem. Like, I just didn't have like, Tumblr or social media or anything.

C: I mean, that's good. You would've been caught up in conspiracy theories about how one of them has a fake baby. [both laugh]

G: It's so funny because, like, I also liked Five Seconds of Summer, obviously. Like, I'm literally that person. But one time, I was talking to a friend, and they said to me like, their first exposure to gay people was accidentally reading-

C: No.

G: a 5SOS guy x 5SOS guy fic on Wattpad. And I was like, "That's literally-" like, I would not know what to do with my life if that was my first experience of gay people. Like, I literally do not know. So, like, thank god that my first experience of gay people was like, meeting a lesbian in my dormitory at like, age 13. So true of me.

C: So true of you.

G: God, what- Okay, tangent. What's your experience with fanfiction?

C: I found- the first fic I ever read was in a Goodreads forum.

G: So true of you.

C: Yup. Yeah.

G: That's very- that's such a niche thing, I feel like, but like, it's nice. Goodreads forum. Good place to find your first fanfic.

C: Yup.

G: Mine was on AO3. I was like-

C: Wait, AO3?

G: Yeah, I was already quite old when I started reading fanfiction.

C: Wow yeah, no, I think I went from Goodreads like, ff.net slash just like, random Google sites hosted fics. Oh, and some Livejournal. And then I eventually moved to AO3.

G: Yeah. AO3 for me was already thriving when I started reading. I think I started reading fic at like, 2017.

C: Mm, yeah, that's pretty late.

G: So it's like, it's actually already established. Yeah. And guess who? [laughs] Guess who my first fanfic reading experience was about.

C: Was it Destiel?

G: It was Destiel.

C: So true of you.

G: Literally so true of me. At least my first experience of gay people was Destiel and 5SOS guy x 5SOS guy. [C laughing]

C: Yeah. What's the first gay fanfiction I ever read? It was probably for Balthazar and Peter from the webseries Nothing Much to Do, which is an adaptation of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing.

G: [laughs] That's cute.

C: Yeah. Also, I say I went from Goodreads to ff.net and Livejournal, but no, I don't think I read any fic on Livejournal until after I'd been reading on AO3 for a while because I had my House M.D. phase, and because it's an old fandom, I had to read a lot of the fic on Livejournal.

G: Oh, oh, yeah, that makes sense. If it's an old fandom, you read it somewhere else.

C: Yeah. I gotta say I did not encounter any particularly quality fic on Livejournal [G laughs], but I did read a lot.

G: It's so funny- one of the first fics I ever read was "91 Whiskey."

C: Yeah.

G: And I made a friend read it, a friend who was like, not into Supernatural at all. I was like, I told her like, "Oh, you should read this fic that I read. Like, you don't need to know anything about the show to care about it." And she was like, "Okay," and then I sent her the link and she was like, "400,000 words? [C laughs] What are you doing?" And then she read it in three days.

C: So true.

G: So true. And then she messaged me that like, "I'm literally crying right now after reading this fic." [laughs] This is not a promotion of "91 Whiskey." I do not remember anything about it at all. But yeah, it's that kind of fic.

So let's get-

C: [laughs] So what were we talking about?

G: So what are we on about?

C: Oh, yeah, he floors it and he drives through Greeley. And Molly's like, "What the fuck just happened?" And Sam's like, "Don't worry, Molly. Everything's gonna be alright." [G laughs] But then-

G: The car starts sputtering.

C: Yeah, the car starts sputtering, it can't move anymore, and Dean can't start it again. And he's like, "Ah, shit. I don't think he's gonna let us leave."

G: Dun-dun-dun!

G: So they get out of the car and they're standing around, and he opens the trunk, Dean does. He opens the trunk. And this is, I think, the clearest that we have seen the trunk so far, right?

C: Mm-hm.

G: And I don't really have any comments on the particular contents of the trunk, but I really like the fact that in this scene, we so clearly see that he uses a rifle to prop it up. I think that's really fun. I think that's really fun. But yeah, he uses a rifle to prop up the trunk, and Molly sees this-

C: Yes.

G: - and goes, "Holy shit, I'm going to die. [C laughs] I'm literally going to die, these men are gonna kill me, they're serial killers, they have all these knives and guns, I'm going to fucking die." So she starts like, walking backwards and is like, "Okay, I think I got it from here. I'll just go to the cops by myself. Thanks so much, I'll find my way out." And then, like, Sam-! Sam specifically starts walking up to her, all menacingly. Like, I mean, I get-

C: All 6'2 of him.

G: Literally- 6'4, right?

C: 6'4? Oh, yeah, that's- okay, yeah.

G: Jesus Christ. But like, it's so terrifying. This scene, I was genuinely terrified. Like, I know that they're not, you know, serial killers of that kind [C laughs], but like, literally run for your fucking life, Molly. It's scary! What they do is s- like, the way this was framed, and like, a lot of this cinematography this episode lends to the vibe of it being creepy, and I love that.

C: Yeah. And the fog. The fog does a lot.

G: Molly is just going like, "Leave me alone, go away," and then Sam says, like, “It wasn't a coincidence that we found you, okay?" and this is-

C: The most menacing sentence ever.

G: The like, the way Sam says it, it's supposed to be like, the moment where Molly goes, “Oh, okay. [C laughing] Like, I trust you now." But it's literally the creepiest thing that's ever been said in all of Supernatural. Like, what the fuck, dude? And then, you know, Molly- At this point, I don't know how she's staying point. At this point, I would run.

C: Yeah. And be like, "Okay, so you were trying to find me and kill me. I'm just gonna go run into a tree myself. That'll be an okay way to go."

G: [laughing] And then Dean says [C screams], "We weren't just cruising for chicks when we ran into you [both], sister!" [both laughing]

We've made this joke before, but literally James Charles-core.

C: It's so gay best friend of him. He could totally be the gay best friend side in like, a final girl horror movie, you know? [G laughs] You know Freaky? I watched it with my ex-fiancee last week, but it's Kathryn- shit, what's her name? The Claire actress. What's her full name?

G: Oh! Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know her full name, but it's her. Yeah.

C: Yeah, but it's like, a Freaky Friday thing where she swaps bodies-

G: Does she have a gay bf? Gay best friend?

C: Yeah, she switches bodies with a serial killer, and Dean could totally be her gay best friend in that one. [G laughs]

G: I like the gifsets that I've seen it of of that movie. She's like, bloody and shit. Love that.

C: Yeah. I mean, it's kind of trashy, but like, it's fun.

G: Who cares? We're Supernatural fans.

C: Yeah. And a lot of plot holes, but who cares? We're Supernatural fans.

G: Dean says, "We're not just cruising for chicks, sister" [both laughing]. Why is it so funny? It's genuinely so funny.

C: [laughing] Literally the stupidest sentence ever.

G: It's so stupid. But, okay, he says, like, "We were already out here hunting." And then she goes, "Hunting for what?" He says, "Ghosts."

C: Literally, I would die on the spot.

G: Dean says, like, "Ghosts!" And Sam's like, "Don't- fucking sugarcoat it for her." [laughing] Which, like, in retrospect, that's so fucking funny.

C: [laughing] It is.

G: And I'm amazed that they didn't put it in the flashback sequence.

C: That would be funny.

G: Literally, I think they didn't put it because it's like, too comedic to be good in there, and they were going for like, "woe is me" type of flashback sequence.

C: Yeah.

I feel like at this point, people know the twist from what we're saying, right? Can we just talk like they know the twist already?

G: Noo, okay, sure, fine.

C: Okay, the twist is Molly is also a ghost.

G: Yeah, she's a ghost too.

C: Yeah.

G: It's very obvious. I feel like- maybe because I've seen it before and I'm accessing like, a part of my brain that has seen it, that does remember it, you know, so like, at this point, it was like, super obvious that she is already dead and is a ghost. But like [laughing], it's so funny.

C: Yeah, Dean's out here like, "We're out here killing you." And Sam's like, "Can you chill?"

G: Sam like, explains that, you know, they think the guy's named Jonah Greeley and that he died 15 years ago. Which- I didn't comprehend that 15 years ago was like, 1990-something.

C: Right, I was like, "Oh, so in 2007? Cool." [laughs]

G: No, like, I thought 15 years ago was like- [laughs] this is so stupid. I thought 15 years ago meant like, he died in like, 1950 or something [C laughing]. My brain just automatically went there. Because later on, we see pictures of this guy, and also, I was in shock that the pictures looked so recent. Like, "Why is there color in these picture? Why is he wearing a trucker hat?"

C: Yeah, "Isn't he from olden times?"

G: Literally, why is not from the 1950s. [C laughs]

C: If he didn't fight in World War II, then there's no way he died 15 years ago.

G: Okay, so Sam says one night a year, on the anniversary of this guy's death, he haunts the road that he died on, and that's why they're there, which is to try to stop him.

So, okay, I'm quite unclear on the lore. So other people have died on this road because they crashed?

C: Yeah.

G: Okay. So other people crash on the road, or other people survive the crash and say that, like, they almost crashed into a lady, right?

C: Yeah.

G: Okay, okay. Because later on they say that Greeley was torturing a person every year, and that person was-

C: Always you.

G: - you.

C: Dun-dun-dun! [G laughs]

G: I was so confused. I was like, if they're torturing a ghost, like, isn't it like, more okay for Sam and Dean than if they were torturing like, humans? You know what I mean. So I didn't comprehend that the other people were also dying. [laughs]

C: No, I think if it was just the ghost thing, Dean would be like, "It's a closed loop, like, whatever, who cares, let the ghosts do their thing."

G: Yeah.

C: And Sam would be like, "She deserves to be put to rest, Dean!" [laughs] or some shit, and then we'd get a whole scene about it.

G: She's still suspicious about this, but Sam and Dean are, you know, quite convincing. At some point, she says, like, "You're serious about this," and Dean says, "Deadly." And I was like, "God, you're fucking corny. You're a fucking asshole. I want to fuck you so bad it makes me look stupid." [laughing]

C: No! Shut up. [both laugh]

G: Molly asks about her husband, but Sam evades the question and says, like, "Before we can help you, you have to help us." And then they go to the cabin that Molly-

C: I gotta say that this, like, all the cryptic shit, and then Sam saying like, "First, you have to help us." Like, this seems like an intro to a really bad porn, you know?

G: Noo!

C: It literally does though.

G: Noo! I have not seen a lot of pornography in my life that has an intro this complex. [both laughing]

C: Fair enough.

G: Wait that would be so funny if-

C: It would be so funny if the whole time- 15 minutes, and then it cuts to her sucking his dick.

G: [laughing] Literally, it would be so funny. And it's still the same ending. Like, she's still a ghost.

C: [laughing] He was getting that ghussy. [G laughing] God.

G: No.

C: Well yeah, I guess it's good it wasn't a porn intro because it seems a bit manipulative. So.

Yeah, so she leads them back to the cabin- [both still laughing] Okay.

She leads them back to the cabin where like, we saw Greeley. And Dean says that this is probably his hunting cabin. And there's like, a bunch of like, tools and blood around. And Dean was like, "Well, sure seems like a sweet guy."

G: Which is like, that line kind of confused me. Because do you think Dean is anti, like, animal hunting? 'Cause these are just the tools that you use for animal hunting, I feel like.

C: I don't know. But didn't he say that that guy who did animal testing in a lab was automatically an asshole?

G: Was evil? Yeah.

C: Dean Winchester is against killing animals, but like, pro killing like, quote unquote "monsters" that are often very close to human, and like, sentient and can talk to you. Alright, Dean.

G: Literally. Alright. Alright, bro.

C: And he makes fun of Sam for being vegetarian. [G laughs] It's only okay to eat meat if it's killed in a slaughterhouse on a factory farm. That's Dean's take.

The thing is, because it was dark, I couldn't tell it was blood on the table until I read the transcript. I thought it was like, he spilled like, honey all over the table, so I thought the "sweet guy" thing was a pun. But yeah, no.

G: [laughs] That's incredibly funny.

C: Yep, so they don't see any like, gravestones outside, and Sam explains Molly that like, they're looking for his corpse so they can salt and burn it to get rid of the spirit. And Molly says, like, "Oh, and that'll save David?" And Sam’s like, “Well, it'll help both of you.” So we find out that after Greeley died, his wife took the body so she probably brought him back here, but they never saw her again. And also, they owned 1000 acres of land. I didn't know people were allowed on 1000 acres of land. That's a lot of land.

G: What's a thousand acres?

C: Oh, yeah, let me try to convert it to- is it square miles or square kilometers that would be most helpful?

G: know.

G: No, I think there's another term that we use- hectare? Hectare.

C: Hect- I I don't know how to how to pronounce it.

G: 404 hectare? Oh my god. That's a lot. Why? Why do they have this much land?

C: I guess to farm on. [G laughs] I feel like- did they have any other employees? Like, I don't think that this guy alone and his wife-

G: Can toil 404 hectares of land, yeah.

C: Right, like, it's weird that they don't have any mentioned employees. So.

G: [laughs] We need the full backstory of the Greeley family.

C: Yeah.

G: I mean, this episode is 39 minutes long. We could have done it.

C: Exactly.

G: And they had that long ass flashback sequence. Like, they were really gunning it for the time.

C: Yep.

So Molly goes, like, “This is really what you guys do? You're like ghostbusters?" When did Ghostbusters come out? I was like, "Is that too modern of a reference for her to be making given her death date?"

G: Oh! Okay, let's look up. When did Ghostbusters-

C: Oh, it's from 1984. Never mind. [G laughing] It's like, really old. It's old as shit. Okay, cool.

G: Well. Great.

C: Cool.

Okay, so Sam goes, “Yeah,” and Dean says, "Minus the jumpsuits." And then like, he's being such a dick. He's like, "This is a fascinating conversation and all, but this highway's only haunted once a year, and we's got till sunup to wrap this thing up." And he's like, "Okay, let's move it along. Okay? Great."

G: What an asshole! What an asshole.

C: Yeah, so they're like, going outside, and Sam explains that they're looking for Greeley's house, so he might be buried there. And then she hears like, this whispered voice which is like, clearly not good news going like, "Molly? Molly, help me! Molly?" and like, she fucking turns away from Sam instead of being like, "Hey, Sam, I hear a sound." She just goes, like, “OMG, David!" and she, like, goes running towards the voice. And then, obviously, Greeley appears and like, starts attacking her. Like, duh, Molly. Yeah, sorry for being unsympathetic, I'm sure that sucked and you're worried about your husband [G laughs], but also, like, bro, you should be aware by now that you're in a horror movie, get with the program.

G: You're literally in a horror movie. You're literally with some guys who are claiming to be ghost hunters. Like-

C: Yeah, so Dean shows up with like, his gun, and he points it at Greeley and he says, "Whoops," and then shoots him in the head because Dean thinks he's so cool.

G: He thinks he's so cool. Like, he said that "whoops" and he thought, "Wow, just like in the movies."

C: [laughing] Exactly.

G: He literally thought that.

C: Yeah.

And then Sam like, is like, "Hey, are you okay?" and Molly starts freaking out about like, "What the fuck did this guy do to my husband?" She calls him a "son of a bitch."

G: Yes!

C: Alright, girl. [G laughs]

G: I love it when women also exhibit misogynistic traits. [C laughing] Literally equality.

C: Literally.

G: Like, for Supernatural, equality means both men and women can be misogynistic.

C: For so long, the misogyny profession has been male-dominated, [both laughing] but this new diversity, equity, and inclusion program will ensure that women, too, can be misogynistic.

G: So true.

C: Yeah, so- God, I can't believe I'm saying this and I say bitch like, 20 times per podcast episode. [laughing]

G: I think we only say it when- Okay, here's a fun fact. The very first episode, they do a "bitch" "jerk" line, right?

C: Yeah.

G: And also prior to that, Dean calls the ghost "what a bitch," right?

C: Yeah.

G: And when you said that, I literally flinched. Because I never say "bitch" in real life.

C: Uh-huh.

G: Like, this is a podcast exclusive [C laughing], me saying bitch. I probably have never said the word "bitch" prior to this podcast. So, like, saying it in the podcast- like, the fact that you said it, and, like, the way you said it was like, you were quoting him, so you said "What a bitch!!"

C: [laughs]

G: I literally was like, "Uh- uh- uh- oh my god! I need to say 'bitch' in the podcast so Crystal doesn't think I'm uncool."

C: [laughing] Noo! No! No, you don't have to say "bitch"!

G: [laughs] It's fine. Like, a lot of the times, we're just quoting Dean. Mostly. Like, Sam barely says "bitch" at this point.

C: Yeah.

G: So.

C: I also do say "bitch" on my own, but mostly to refer to men. [both laugh] That's equality.

G: [laughing] That is equality.

C: Yeah. So yeah, Sam’s like, “Take it easy, alright? You're gonna see David again. You will." Sam. I mean, you're not wrong, but this is kind of mean of you, too.

G: Like, they were like, "It's so wrong that she's pining for him," and Sam is out here being like, "You'll see him. You'll see him. Don't worry. He'll love you forever and ever."

C: Yeah, like, "He loves you! You'll go back and he won't be remarried."

G: "He won't be 'right where you left me' by outdean." [C laughing]

C: God.

So they see like, some creepy brick road, and they decide to follow it. And while they do that, Molly asks about things shooting rock salt, and Sam explains the lore and stuff. Which, I feel like-

G: He says-

C: Yeah, "Simple remedies are always the best. In most cultures-"

G: "Most cultures!" Yesss!

C: At least he said "most" and not "all."

G: We should have started a-

C: A "most cultures" count? Like a tally?

G: Yeah, we should have made a count of Sam saying "most," "all," or "whatever" culture. Like, unfortunately, it's a little bit too late. Because the first time it happened, we didn't think it would happen so much. But he literally says, like, "most cultures," "all cultures," or "all societies" or whatever the fuck he said that one time.

C: "Every culture." Like, okay. [G laughs] Alright, pre-law.

G: Literally, pre-law major.

C: Yeah. I feel like it makes sense that Molly's asking all these questions, but I just- I feel like this would have worked as an earlier seasons episode-

G: Yeah.

C: - so that they could use it for exposition. Like, here, it's like, "What's the point?" Like, we know.

G: Yeah, This is like, a season one episode vibe.

C: Yeah.

G: Especially given the fact that, in season one, they're looking for John.

C: Yeah.

G: The whole "hope is kind of the whole point thing" would have hit a little bit harder because, like, you know, they think John is dead, but they're hoping he's not, and that hope is the whole point.

C: Yeah.

G: So I really feel like this would have fit in well with season one.

C: Right, yeah, but alas. Raelle Tucker did not have her horror movie script rejected until season two.

G: [laughs] Yeah.

C: And they see a house. And I guess it's creepy because Dean says, "You know, just once, I'd like to round the corner and see a nice house." Okay, Dean.

G: So Sam and Molly enter the house, right? And this is- the cinematic choice, the like cinematography choice in this scene, I really like. So Sam and Molly enter the house, and it takes Dean, like, maybe 30 seconds, maybe a little bit more, to enter. But because of the way they frame the scene, you don't see that it's him. It's just a shadow. And it like, it's really creepy. You probably don't even remember this because it's been three weeks for you. [C laughs] But like, I vividly remember this scene. And only when he enters the room and he starts speaking does the camera move, and I really like that. So yeah. That's my compliment to Charles Beeson today.

Anyway, Sam asked if there's any headstones outside, and Dean's like, "Oh, it's never that easy, is it?" And he makes Sam and Molly check upstairs for any clues on where the headstone or the grave is. And he's gonna check downstairs. So we go to Sam and Molly, and I must say, this episode is a Sam episode.

C: Yeah.

G: And I love that. Because usually, when we get a Sam episode, it's like, for the plot. We rarely get a Sam episode that's just for Sam. Like, not like, for the plot or for like, the bigger picture. It's just a contained story that also happens to focus on Sam.

C: Right.

G: And this episode is that episode for this season, and I think maybe that's a big part of why I enjoy it.

C: Yeah. I guess since I just saw this as a Molly episode I didn't focus as much on the Sam character development, but yeah, I think you're right.

G: Yeah. Anyway, what happens here is Molly finds a scrapbook of the Greeley family. So, Mr. Greeley and his wife. It's just the two of them. And it's a scrapbook of all their like, moments together, them buying the house, buying the land. At some point, they see a love letter, which I didn't really get a closer look at the love letter.

C: I paused and zoomed in, but like, I didn't end up transcribing it 'cause seemed like too much work. But I think it has something that's like, "Oh, like, I was walking outside today and I saw the moon, and it reminded me of you, and like-" something- like, it was written better, but, you know, just like, "You're so beautiful and you make me so happy-"

G: Aw.

C: - and like, you know, it's just very sweet.

G: Aww.

Well, so Molly says, like, "This is so beautiful. I don't understand how someone who can write a love letter like this can turn into a fucking monster." And then, Sam does his little exposition where he says that some spirits, they're like, wounded animals, right? And they're in so much pain that they lash out. And all I was thinking of was like, "This is literally Dean." Like, this is literally Dean. Dean may as well be a ghost.

C: Yeah.

G: And then Molly asks, like, "Why are they here anyway?" And Sam says, "It's because something's tethering them here." So it can be like, a physical object or it could be unfinished business, like revenge or love or hate or all of those things. "They hold on too tight. They can't let go. So they're trapped. Caught in the same loops. Replaying the same tragedies over and over."

C: Just like Supernatural!

G: Literally Sam and Dean. Literally Supernatural. Ah! But like- ahhhh! It's literally Supernatural. At this point in the show, right - let's just think about it from at this point in the show instead of the entire thing. At this point in the show, there's nothing really- like, I know Sam is about to get murderous, right? Like, that's the fear right now.

C: Yeah.

G: But like, a little bit earlier in the season for Sam, there's no reason for him to stay in the job anymore.

C: Yeah.

G: Like, the whole point of the second episode of the season was the whole, like, "I don't want to do-" like, "I want to keep on doing the thing just because I owe it to Dad," right? Like, "I think this is what Dad would have wanted." And I think this is kind of what that was referencing. Like, it could be revenge for John or love for John or hatred for John. But Sam like, held on too tight for that. And now, he's trapped. Now, he can't get out. And he will not get out for 14 more years.

C: Oh, god.

G: Well, he gets out for one year, and then-

C: And then they make sure he feels really bad about it.

G: Yeah. They make him apologize for it, like, fucking seasons later.

C: Yeah, he says it's the worst thing he did or whatever, like, seriously.

G: It was like, season 13 or season 14 and he goes to Dean and is like, "Dean, remember Purgatory?" And it's like- literally, the worst thing that they did-

C: "Sorry for not looking for you even it seemed very much like you just died."

G: Yeah, it's been six seasons, bro. Nobody remembers.

C: Yeah. You guys get so concussed it's a wonder that you remember.

G: Literally. But yeah.

So yeah, they're caught in the same loops, they're playing the same tragedies over and over. And Molly says, like, "You sound almost sorry for them." Sam says, "They aren't evil people. A lot of them were good. Just something happened to them. Something they couldn't control." And Dean-

C: Ahh, Sam. It's so Sam. Oh my god.

G: He's literally- aww, he's such a guy!

C: Yeah.

G: He's literally such a guy. You know that joke where they say, like, "category five woman" or something?

C: Oh, yeah.

G: Like, Sam is literally a category five guy.

C: Yeah.

G: Yeah, at this point, Dean walks in and is like-

C: A fucking dick.

G: "Well, I'm different from Sam. Me? I don't like ghosts. And I ain't making apologies for them. That's that for that!" or something like that. And he's like, such a fucking asshole, especially in retrospect.

C: Uh-huh.

G: This is the point in the episode, where I was sure. Like, when Sam was doing his little speech, I was postive that she's a ghost. Like, 100% sure. So Dean coming in here and being like, "I don't have any sympathy or empathy for ghosts at all," knowing full well that this woman is probably 100% going to be a ghost, is like, "Dean!"

C: Dean.

G: "You're an asshole! You're a terrible person."

C: Yeah.

G: Okay, so Dean starts battling it out with the wall. He finds a little passage, but it's locked so he kicks it in, and, honestly, he looks so cool. [laughs]

C: Oh my god.

G: Stop it. Literally stop it, Grey, this is not your heart. [C laughs] But he does look very cool. He stands with his back to it and kicks it backwards with his foot, and it looks pretty cool. Good for him.

C: Oh my god, just like a horse! [G laughing]

G: No one will get that joke because I delete it every single time we make it.

C: Yeah. [laughs] Can we hint at it?

G: Okay, so like- you do the hinting, yeah.

C: Is this too obvious? Okay, I think a lot of people like to make jokes about Jackles being like a lame horse, and you know what we do with lame horses! [both laughing]

G: Every single time like, Jensen Ackles acts a certain way in this show, we make that lame horse joke.

C: And then we cut it out because it violates Spotify's terms of service.

G: Spotify's gonna nerf us, you guys, so yeah.

C: We didn't put the last part of the joke, but you guys know, right?

G: You guys know. You guys know. [both laughing]

Anyway, the door opens, and they crawl in. And inside, they find the body of- the like, remains. Like, skeletal remains, almost, of this woman. And we know it's a woman because the hair is long. At this point, like, I'm not too clear what rotting is like.

C: Yeah. Like, why is she just a skeleton?

G: Like, okay, she's just a skeleton, but she's still hanging up. Oh, by the way they see her like, she's like- a noose around her neck, right? So she's still tied up, and she's just there. Like, she has not fallen apart in any way. Is that how bodies work?

C: I have no clue.

G: I also have no clue. Thankfully, I probably never- oh, no, that's a lie. Because I am maybe taking up law. So maybe I do need to know at some point what bodies look like after decomposition. That sucks.

C: Are you gonna do, like, murder law?

G: [laughs] "Murder law." It's called criminal law, Crystal.

C: [laughing] Fine. Well, I'm not pre-law, so how would I know?

G: No- I don't know. I don't know- I don't even know if I'm taking up law, so let's save the fucking career crisis for another episode. [C laughs]

But at some point, Dean says, like, "It smells like old lady in here." And he opens the door, and there's a lady hanging on the ceiling, and he's like, "Well, I figured." And I thought it was also funny.

Molly like, says, concludes that the reason why she hanged herself is because she didn't want to live without her husband. So Sam goes up to the body and starts cutting up the rope, and Dean is like, shocked and upset that he would do this. Sam says, like, "We can't just leave her here," and Dean's like, "Why not?" [both sigh] Dean, you're a terrible guy.

C: Yeah. I mean, I get Dean not wanting to help 'cause I don't want to touch a corpse that bad either, but like, he doesn't have to be- he could at least be like, "Sam’s doing a good, nice thing here."

G: Yeah. And also, they literally opened a casket once that they thought had like, a fresh body in it, so... I don't know. He's just being an asshole, honestly.

C: Though, honestly, if I was Sam, I probably would have salted and burned her, in case.

G: I also would have salted and burned her.

C: Yeah. Like, we don't know, maybe she's a ghost running around too.

G: Anyway, Sam says the whole line, like, "She deserves to be put to rest," which is, you know, premonitions or whatever for future plot twists.

They go out, dig a grave, put her in there. By her, I mean the corpse. And Molly starts asking about the afterlife.

C: Yeah.

G: And this is when I was like, "Ding-ding-ding! This is that episode. This is the one with the 'hope is the whole point' episode."

C: Oh, yeah.

G: 'Cause they would never bring this up for any other reason. [laughs] Is there any other time in Supernatural where the afterlife is given this much, like, credence- or not credence, like, this much attention- other than the whole like, "there's Heaven and Hell!" Or I guess at that point, they already know that there's Heaven and Hell, so they don't really care that much about it. But at this point, they were like, "Who knows?"

C: They know that Hell exists, though, 'cause Dean was all like, "I'm gonna send you demons back to Hell," and Meg was like, "I was sent to Hell, and it sucked."

G: And John is literally in Hell.

C: John is literally there, yeah.

G: [laughs] John is literally in Hell. Good for him.

I mean, yeah. So maybe they just don't want to tell this ghost that like, "You may be going to Hell, but we don't know for sure, but we also don't know for sure if there is even a Heaven, so tough luck!"

C: Right.

G: Like, I don't think she wants to hear that.

She asks, like, "What happens to all these people that you put to rest?" And Dean says, "Lady-"

C: [laughs] God.

G: He says, "Lady, that answer is way beyond our paygrade." So Molly says, like, "Oh, so you hunt these things, but you don't know what happened to them?" And Dean says, "Well, they never come back, and that's all that matters."

C: What a dick.

G: Yeah. Sam says, "They just go. After they let go of whatever they're holding onto, they just go." So he says, "I hope they go someplace better, but the reality is we just don't know." And then Molly asked like, "What about the burning of the bones?"

Okay, here's a question that I have. Cremation burns the body, but not the bones. That shit, you have to grind up.

C: Yeah.

G: So what does burning of the bones actually do? Like, physically, not like, metaphysically. Just physically.

C: Oh, yeah, like, does it even do anything to the bones?

G: They put kerosene on it to burn it and they put salt in it, so like, is the salting and then the burning the whole process of purifying it? Or, if you just crem- it doesn't make sense because also just cremating it invalidates the whole ghost argument, right?

C: Um, well, okay, so in cases where the body was cremated, then they're like, "Ah, damn, we can't salt and burn the bones, so there must be like, an object that they're holding onto or a different part of their body that's out there," like the hair on the doll or whatever, right?

G: Yeah, no, what I'm asking is- is the salting the thing that purifies the bones?

C: Oh, right, so you're saying that since there's no salting in cremation, then why would that-

G: Why would that disqualify the-

C: - the body, yeah.

G: Like, what if- Okay, here's my theory, right? So cremation. And then they grind up the bones, and then there's the ashes, right? [laughing] If you mix salt into the ashes, then, what happens? [laughs]

C: Oh, right, does that end it? Like, it closed the loop?

G: Yeah, literally. Yeah. But like, I don't know. This entire thing is honestly like, so stupid when you think about it.

C: Yeah.

G: Yeah, but she also asked that. Like, "What the fuck does salting and burning even do?" Sam says, "Dad used to tell me that it was like death for ghosts, but we also don't know. So..." [laughs]

C: Whoop.

G: And then he says, "Guess that's why we hold onto life so hard, even the dead. We're all just scared of the unknown."

C: Yeah. Ugh, that line made me so sad in the context of like, them knowing everything about Heaven and Hell in the future-

G: Yeah.

C: - and I feel like, also being more suicidal.

G: Agh! Yeah.

C: Yeah. Sorry guys. [laughs]

G: Sorry. Sorry, my dudes. Yeah.

Molly basically says after this that like, the only thing that she scared of is losing David.

C: Oops. [both laugh]

G: He literally left you, and you are literally right where he left you.

C: I wonder what he did like, during the actual time of the crash, right? Like, she wakes up alone, but did he actually abandon her?

G: I mean, I hope not.

C: Yeah, me too.

G: Or should I hope that he did? I don't know.

C: Yeah, I don't know. I guess he probably would have like, called 911 and stayed by her side as the ambulance came.

G: Did they even have phones back in 2007- no, back in 1992?

C: Um, cell phone, when was the first cell phone-

G: Just a telephone.

C: First cell phone... the first publicly available cell phone was released to the market in 1983, so yeah, we're okay.

G: Boo! My research said- and by research, I mean the first thing that popped up on my Google results- was 1973. So one of us is lying. [C laughs] One of us is wrong.

C: One of us tells only lies and one of us tells only the truth. Now, answer these riddles three to cross through the door.

G: Literally.

C: So yeah, the thing is, the whole driving force of Molly in this episode, is like, she can't let go because she loves David so much, right? And were they like, convincing to you in the first scene?

G: [sighs] I mean... No. [laughs] Not at all.

C: Yeah. I wrote down, "They are so boring."

G: Yeah.

C: I think that's what made this episode so weak for me.

G: Okay, so- Yeah, 'cause she's like, "I need to see my husband, like, I love him."

C: "I love him so much," and you guys are just like- you guys give me like, friends with benefits vibes, you know? Like [laughs], that's who you are to me.

G: What do you think is something that a couple could do in a car at the beginning of an episode, like, for that duration of time as well, that could convince you that they mean much to each other?

C: I feel like more inside jokes.

G: But like, that amount of time, like, you, wouldn't have enough context to explain it, so the audience wouldn't really appreciate it, I feel like.

C: Yeah.

G: It's just- I feel like it's a difficult thing to do.

C: Mm-hmm. Right. Especially because they're driving.

G: Yeah, especially 'cause they're driving.

C: I think if it started with them pulled over on the side of the road, and like, I don't know, like, having like, a conversation or cuddling in the backseat for a bit [G starts laughing], and then they started driving again [G still laughing], I feel like it might've worked better. But also, like, I'm such a fanfiction reader, so who even knows.

G: [laughing] Cuddling in the backseat? You're literally a fanfiction reader. No one cuddles in the backseat, ever. Do you know how painful it is?

C: I think Cas deserves to be cuddled in a backseat, and I will make that everything's problem.

G: This car is the type of car that already has seatbelts in it. Like, this is the type of car that, like, they already passed into law that you need to have seatbelts when they made this car, you know what I mean? So like-

C: I don't think seatbelts prevent you from doing anything. You just don't have to have them on.

G: No, I mean like, what I'm trying to say is like, cuddling in the backseat is very painful because of the fucking- what's that? Seat belt, like, links.

C: You can push them down. You can push them down.

G: Even then, even then, you can't lie down on a car and be like, "This is the most comfort I've ever experienced," like, anywhere.

C: Oh, I meant sitting cuddling.

G: Ugh, okay, fine. [C laughs] Do whatever you want. [laughs] I support you.

C: Thanks. I miss Cas.

C: Yeah, okay, do you think there's anything they could have done to be convincing, besides not be so fucking boring?

G: I genuinely don't know. Maybe like, a little more- like, maybe if they weren't- is it essential that they were fighting?

C: I don't think it matters that much that like, she called him a jerk before they crashed.

G: Yeah.

C: Like, that guilt doesn't seem like a big throughline for her character.

G: Like, maybe a scene where they're driving, right? And then, like, the guy's sleeping or something. And she like- what makes them crash is she's like, trying to like, she removes her jacket and puts it over him or something.

C: Aw.

G: [laughing] And then they crash because she's not looking at the road.

C: You're such a fanfiction reader, too.

G: It's cute- This is not fanfiction material. This is K-drama material. I've watched a shitton of K-dramas in my life, and this is the kind of shit that they do.

C: Okay, alright.

G: I think I've literally seen a K-drama where like, she crashes [C laughs] because she's like, trying to pick up like, a phone that like, she's talking with a guy over in.

C: Oh my god.

G: [laughing] Literally so true.

C: So true.

C: So yeah, so, they're still in the house, and, like, Molly's looking through the photo album. Sam and Dean are having a whispered conversation. He's like, "I think we should tell her about her husband," and Dean's like, "We can't," and Sam says, "It's cruel letting her pine for him like this. I don't like keeping her in the dark." And Dean says, like, "It's for her own good." And he says like-

G: What an asshole! Like, you have not cared about her own good this entire episode, Dean. And now you're like, "It benefits me, so it's for her own good!" Fuck you.

C: Yeah. And he says, like, "I know you feel guilty, but let's just stick to the plan. We'll get her out of here, and then we'll tell her." And obviously, Molly overhears, 'cause like, they're literally in the next room over, talking about her. And she's like, "Tell me what?"

G: Literally, there is no wall separating them and Molly, like [laughs] maybe go behind a wall, you guys.

C: Yeah. Also, you have phones. You can have your secret conversations by typing- and like, you know when you're having secret conversations with your friends, and you just type in the notes app and show it to them and then they add to it?

G: Literally. [laughing] This reminds me of an anecdote that I have, which is that one time, I was sitting in the backseat with my aunt, and my mom is in the front seat, and she's texting my mom, and I literally said out loud for the entire car to hear, "Why are you texting my mom? [C laughing] You can just tell her things like, right now." And my tita and my mom started laughing so hard, and my tita told me, like, you know, "You should not- if you notice things like that, you shouldn't say them out loud." And I was like, “Oh, okay."

C: Aww.

G: Literally ruined their secret conversation.

C: So true.

G: Sorry, Mom and Tita.

C: Yeah, so Molly goes, like, “What aren't you telling me? It's about David. You know what happened to him?" And Sam seems like he's about to tell her, and Dean's like, "Sam, don't." And Molly says, "Don't what? Don't tell me because I'll mess up your hunt? [G starts applauding] You don't care about me or my husband." So fucking real. So fucking real.

G: That's the sound of me clapping. Literally, I'm clapping. Go, Molly! Go, Molly! Literally, they don't care about you or your husband, they just care about the hunt. Which is- this is what I was saying earlier when I said that the "saving people, hunting things" thing comes up this episode in a substantial way. Like, this is someone that they are trying to help, and obviously, she's a ghost, so like, they evade it in a way, but at this point, you're not really supposed to know that yet. So you just think that there's this person, and they're using her for bait, and keeping the truth from her, and then she brings this up, and you have the thought, "Yeah. They're hunting things, but they're not really helping the people."

C: Yeah.

G: So.

C: What dicks.

G: And I understand- Okay, here's the thing, right? Like, I understand that it's a job. At the end of the day, it's a job for them. I feel like there's a difference, right? Like, if you're a service worker, [laughing] you can be an asshole to your customers, like, it's fine. If you're literally saving their lives, like, don't be an asshole. I don't know, maybe-

C: Right, yeah, I think being an asshole cashier is fine, being an asshole nurse is not.

G: Yeah, like, being an asshole doctor is like, the worst profession to be an asshole in, right? And so this is kind of the vibe of that.

C: Yeah.

G: You're hiding things from this person, because it serves your interests. Like, that's not cool. Oh, speaking of hiding things to serve your interests, have you read that article about how some people fake Alzheimer's research results?

C: No, I haven't.

G: Can we link in the description of this podcast? I think everyone should read it. It's a very well-written article. [laughs] What a weird thing to say. So far, this episode, we're promoting Alzheimer's research fraud. So yeah.

C: Yeah. And Molly's like- okay, Sam says, like, “That's not true, we do care about you." And, you know, Sam’s probably not lying when he says that, at least. [both laugh] And Molly says, "Really? Then whatever it is, tell me, please." And Sam seems like he might, but then we hear a radio turn on, and we hear "House of the Rising Sun," baby!

G: Whoo!

C: It's so fun this ghost has like, a calling card, and it's like, this gloomy song.

G: Yeah, it's pretty cool.

C: Yeah, so Dean tells Sam to stay with Molly, and he finds the radio that the song is playing from, but like- it's like, the power cord isn't working so, you know-

G: This scene is so funny. Because it's less of a radio and more of like, a jukebox, right? Like, it's very big at the very least.

C: Yeah.

G: And like, he picks up the frayed wire, and it lingers on it for so long.

C: Yeah, like, we get it, it's a ghost, creepy things are afoot.

G: Like, we get it. We get it, you get it. Like, this- you don't even need to show that it's unplugged. It literally does not matter whether it's plugged or not. Like, the ghost is still coming. It's just like- I was so aware at this point that this episode is just 39 minutes long, and then they're doing this to extend the duration of the episode.

C: Uh-huh. Right. And then like- so the front door, like, there's like, glass and like, it like, fogs up, and then like, the words "she's mine" appear. Does it look like they're being written by a finger, or do they just show up?

G: No, they just show up, yeah.

C: Okay. And then Molly and Sam are in a room. Sam’s like, sort of guarding, but Molly's standing by the window, and then Greeley crashes through the window and grabs her and drags her outside. And Sam is all useless, and he's just telling Dean, "Oh, they got her!" And then go and chase-

G: No. Okay, maybe- You still haven't realized that she's a ghost at this point, right?

C: Yeah.

G: The reason why he's hesitant to shoot is because, if he shoots, she's also going to disappear.

C: Ohh, she'll disappear too! Oh, okay, I get it. Okay. Nevermind. Sam, I'm sorry for being mean to you, you've never done anything wrong. [G laughs] So-

G: So Dean is like, "Oh, this guy's fucking persistent." And Sam saying they got to find Molly. Dean is saying, "No, we have to find the bones." Which is like, "Ooh, distinction between the brothers." [laughing] It's so stupid. Why are we watching Supernatural? Like, I'm positive there are so many other good shows out there. Like, I could be watching Breaking Bad right now.

C: [laughing] I love that that's the first one you go to.

G: [laughing] No, 'cause I've been tempted to watch Better Call Saul recently, and I was like, "Maybe I should watch Breaking Bad first," so I have been watching Breaking Bad.

C: Oh, okay.

G: But I'm getting kind of bored, so maybe I should just go straight to Better Call Saul. Anyway-

C: Mm. Wait, but is Jesse Pinkman, even in Better Call Saul ?

G: I don't know. I don't know. I don't think so, 'cause it's a prequel.

C: Well, the point of Breaking Bad is-

G: Jesse Pinkman.

C: - that you're waiting for Jesse to get his top surgery, right? Like, that's the plot of Breaking Bad? [G laughs]

G: Like apparently, from Tumblr, that is the plot of Breaking Bad.

C: [laughs] Yeah.

G: Yeah. And as we know, feminist women love Jesse Pinkman. [both laughing] I love that AMV.

C: Yeah, wait, isn't there a line in the Wiki that says that like, he's never said the word "bitch" for a woman or something?

G: So true of him. Good for him.

C: He's just like me for real.

G: He's just like me for real.

G: So Sam ends up looking at the scrapbook that Molly was looking through right before the conversation that they had. And Sam reads the caption in one of the photographs, and it says "February 6, 1992," which was two weeks before the incident. So Sam says, like, "This is in front of the hunting cabin, but a while ago, when we went there, there was a tree on the spot that they're standing on right now." And Sam is like, “I should have fucking thought of it!" [C laughs] And Dean’s like, “What?” And Sam's like, “Oh, it's like, it's an old country custom. Like, you plant a tree as a grave marker.” And Dean’s like, “Man, you're so fucking weird.” [laughs]

C: Ugh, stop being mean.

G: He's like, "You're a walking encyclopedia of weirdness."

C: Sam's so smart and my favorite little guy, like, get over yourself, Dean.

G: Yeah, and Sam’s like, “Yeah, I know,” and then they pick up their bags and they walk out. And they eventually get to the hunting cabin, but before that, we see Molly getting tortured by Mr. Greeley.

C: Okay, sorry to cut in on Molly getting tortured and hating women, but like, okay, so Sam says, "Yeah, I know," but like, he seems kinda, like, bitter about it, right?

G: Offput, yeah.

C: And like, Is it because he's like, mad at Dean for saying something mean, or is it that he resents that he knows all this stuff because he probably had to like, read books about the supernatural from like, age 10 or whatever?

G: I think it's just like, a rolling your eyes at someone who's calling you smart for no- to- kind of shit.

C: Fair, yeah.

G: I don't think he's like, resentful that he knows these things, because, you know, they're helpful.

C: Yeah.

G: It's helpful that he knows these things. He's just annoyed at Dean for constantly being like, "Oh, you figured something out? Okay, you smart boy." Like, you know.

C: Right. What's the- what did he call Sam in "Scarecrow"? The dorky- whatever? Remember? He had a very fun insult.

G: I have no idea.

C: Oh, yeah, no, sorry, in "Scarecrow," he calls Sam his "trusty sidekick geek boy."

G: Whoo! He's literally a trusty geek boy, but I refuse to say he is a sidekick.

C: He is not a sidekick. He's a trusty protagonist geek boy.

Yeah, I think that for the torture scene, I think that some of that dialogue is important.

G: Oh, yeah.

C: The whole time, like, Molly's asking like, where David is even though, like, she's literally being tortured so bad. And Molly says, "I didn't do anything to you," and Greeley seems offended at this. Which [laughing], you know, yeah, I understand that. [G laughs] And she says, like, "I know about your wife. Hurting me won't bring her back." And he says, "My wife is gone. All I have left is hurting you."

G: Ooh.

C: Ooh. Yeah. And then that's when Sam and Dean approach her cabin, but they don't save her for a while, because they're dicks.

G: Honestly, this whole thing, like, Gree- what's his name? Greeley.

C: Yeah, Greeley, what a name.

G: He's a very corny ghost.

C: [laughs] Yeah.

G: He's like, so fucking corny. Because he's so concrete, I guess. Like, they did the thing where it's like, telekinesis, right? Like, he controls things from a distance. But because he's so solid, it's like, "Bleh. This is just a guy. This is just an actor."

C: Yeah, this is just guy, and he's being, like, such a dick.

G: He's not scary. 'Cause- like I've said, I like the creepy factor of the episode. But the moment he actually shows up for an extended amount of time, that creepiness fully disappears.

C: Yeah. Agreed. He is a loser.

G: So yeah, Sam and Dean show up, and they literally see her getting tortured. Like- [laughs] They can hear her screaming from the cabin. And Sam says, like, "Go get Molly" to Dean. Which is kind of a stupid- like, go get Molly, Sam! Dean hates this woman.

C: Right. Yeah, like, Dean is not going to prioritize her safety.

G: But Sam starts digging around the tree, and eventually, he finds the bones. Yeah, Molly does this thing- Dean does this thing where he walks in and shoots Greeley, and then Molly says, "Thank god,” and Dean says, "You can call me Dean." [makes vomiting noises]

C: God, I fucking hated that. He's being such a fucking dick. Like, she's being tortured. Like, shut up!

G: Literally, what are you doing, girl? This is when his cool factor ran out. Like, he's not cool anymore.

C: He was never cool.

G: I do not want to suck his dick so bad it makes me look stupid anymore. [laughs]

But Greeley like, keeps on appearing, blah blah blah. But, you know, Sam is outside. He's burning the bones. And then Greeley bursts into flames in the wackiest effect that they've done in a while. He, like, starts walking backwards, and his bones are like, fucking burning. Yeah.

C: Yep.

G: And then he disappears, and then he dies. And that's it.

C: Yep.

C: So they go back to the Impala, and Dean like, pats it, and he's like, "Oh, Baby, it's been a long night." Like, okay, Dean. Not in front of other people, bro.

G: He's literally coming home to his wife. [both laughing] Like, that's what's happening here.

C: Yeah. So, they get Molly in the car, and Sam says, "Let's get out of here," and she says that she's not gonna go anywhere until you tell her what happened to David. And she says, like, "All this time I've been looking for him, and you knew that Greeley killed him, didn't you? He's dead." And Sam says, like, "No." Like, "He's alive! For realsies. I prommy. And I'll take you to him." And like, she's so happy, and like, Sam, you're not helping.

G: He's really not helping.

C: Like, you should tell her this before you get there.

G: What did you think was happening at this point, then?

C: I still thought that it was like, a "David made a deal to abandon her and have her be tortured in place of him," I guess.

G: God, okay.

C: Like, yeah, he's gonna take Molly over and David's gonna be like, "What? You're alive? I mean- that's great! Hi!" Like- [laughs] or whatever, you know?

G: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

C: And Molly would feel betrayed and shit, and then they'd leave, and I'd be like, "That was a weird episode." [both laugh]

G: Yeah. Yeah.

C: So yeah, they like, show up in front of like, this nice house, and Sam's like, "He's in there." And Molly's like, "I don't understand," and Sam says, "You will." Okay, dude.

G: Yeah.

C: Please give her some warning.

G: She walks towards the door, towards the window, actually, and she sees this guy who looks like her husband, but, of course 15 years older. And she's like, "What's happening? Why is he suddenly a hag?" [both laugh] Like, it's literally just been a night. Why is he literally so old? And then the guy- what's his name?

C: David?

G: David. [laughs] They literally say it 100 times this episode, and I still don't remember. But David is drinking coffee when suddenly, a woman walks in and gives him a kiss. And Molly's like, "[gasps] I'm scandalized! What is this? Who is that?" And then she turns to Sam and Dean, and Sam says, "That's David's wife. It's been 15 years since you and your husband hit Jonah Greeley with your car, and only David survived." [fake gasp]

C: Dun-dun-dun!

G: Dun-dun-dun!

And then Dean says, like, "There are two spirits haunting Highway 41. Jonah Greeley and you." Okay, Sam says, “For the past 15 years, you've been appearing every anniversary of your death on that highway," right? And Molly's like, "No, no, no, but our anniversary... February 22," and Sam says like, “1992." And Dean goes, "Molly... it's 2007." [both laughing]

C: This is so fucking corny.

G: [still laughing] And then-

C: You know Dean has been waiting for this reveal. Dean's so fucking psyched for this. He's like, "Molly, why aren't you gasping and clapping at this twist? I've been practicing how to deliver this line."

G: Dean was literally like, "Molly, it's 2007." And then he whips out like, a fucking projector and projects the [laughing]- the flashback scenes from the projector on like, Baby's windshield, and they made Molly sit in the back, and be like, "Oh my god, like, when did you have time to record all my reactions to everything that you just said? What the fuck, dude?"

But yeah, basically, what happened is, you know, they crashed into Greeley, killed him, and then Molly just didn't survive, and then she's being tortured by Greeley every single year since 1992.

C: Yeah, so we get these flashbacks now. Right, so we see that before this whole thing happened, like, they were investigating Highway 41 for a case because apparently, a lot of people crashed here, and they all happened on February 22. And each year, witnesses say that what they saw that made them crash is that a woman appears in the middle of the road, and she's being chased by a man covered in blood. So yeah, it's two ghosts. And they're doing research, and then they go and interview David to ask about where Molly's buried, but so he says that she was cremated. And then, like, Molly flashes back to the crash or something. And then Sam says, "Some spirits only see what they want." And then we get the Sam and Dean POV of like, when they run into Molly, and like, inside the car, Sam’s going, “Dean, I don't think she knows she's dead" before like, they open up.

And then, this is where they just start playing- like, these aren't even new scenes.

G: Yeah, yeah.

C: They're just old scenes, and they're like, "Ooh! These are recontextualized now! Guys, look how smart we are! Oh my god, I'm Raelle Tucker!" [laughs]

G: It's so corny.

C: Yeah.

G: It's so funny though- wait, there's a line in the transcript where Molly's like, "Stop! Stop!" Impala brakes. Dean yells, "Holy-!" and then it proceeds to Molly's line, so it's like "holy moly." That's funny. And that's the only entertaining thing about this scene. The rest of it is just goofy as shit. So corny. I literally- like, this is supposed to be an emotional scene, and I was laughing out loud, while it was happening.

C: The one thing that I think this made me- the one thing about this that made me like the episode more was me realizing like, "Oh, I thought Molly's actress was kind of bad because she talked weird, but she's just from olden times. That's just how people talked."

G: [laughing] She's just from 1950.

C: [laughing] Yeah.

So yeah, it's like, just scenes where like, Sam's like, “Oh, I'm gonna tell her the truth,” and Dean’s like, “She's gonna take off running." And where Sam says, like, "Some spirits hold on too tight." Like, whatever. Blah. I don't care.

G: Yeah.

C: And Molly asks about Greeley, and Sam says, "Each year, he punishes somebody for his death. Chasing them. Torturing them. And each year, that somebody... [fake gasp] is you." [laughs] Okay. [G makes sound]

C: And yeah, and apparently Molly couldn't remember any of it because she couldn't see the truth. And Molly's like, "Oh, so that's why he won't let me off. Because I killed him. I killed us both." And the scene ends on that, and it's like, "We knew that already." Like, you didn't have to say it again. [laughs]

G: [laughs] Yeah.

C: Like the fact that it ends on that like it's a big reveal, like, whatever. Like, I got it.

G: But now, it's like morning, and Molly is sitting outside with Sam and Dean. And she asks like, "Why didn't you tell me when we first saw each other?" And Sam and Dean say, "You wouldn't have believed us." And then she tells Dean, "And you needed me for bait."

C: So fucking true.

G: And Sam says, "Well, we needed you." [both laughing]

C: Okay, Sam.

G: "We need you. I need you. For bait." [both laughing]

C: Yeah. For bait. "In order for us to help you, you have to help us first. We need you. [both] For bait."

G: Molly is like, saying like, "I need to see David again. I need to talk to him again." And Sam says, "So what? So you can tell him that you love him, and that you're sorry? He already knows." And then he says, like, "If you want to go in there, we're not gonna stop you.” And Dean says, "Yeah, but you're gonna freak them out like, for life." [C laughs]

This actually made me quite sad because, like, the whole point of like- oh, we haven't even brought up the "right where you left me" joke! Which we promised we will bring up.

C: Oh, damn.

G: Like, the whole context of like, you know, he has already moved on with his life and she still stuck in the moment right after it happened. She's literally right where you left her.

C: [laughs] Yeah.

G: So yeah. Makes me said. This actually got like, an emotional response out of me.

C: Aww.

G: But- [laughing] not too much of an emotional response. It wasn't that dramatic.

C: I think I was more emotional about Sam saying that, like, "He already knows that, like you love him and you're sorry." 'Cause it's like, "Oh. Like, it's kind of all futile." Ugh.

G: Yeah, agh. Yeah.

And then, Sam says, finally, like, "He already said his goodbyes. Now, it's your turn. This is your unfinished business." Sam says, like, "All you need to do is just to let go." And then Molly says, like, "But go where? You don't even know where I'm supposed to go to." But Sam says like, “It doesn't matter. You don't belong here. Haven't you suffered long enough? It's time to go." [start laughing very hard]

C: What?

G: [still laughing] And then she walks into the light! [both laughing now]

C: [laughing] Yeah, okay, this looked goofy as shit.

G: [laughing] They literally made her walk into the light!

C: I just- okay, between this and "Houses of the Holy," right, they're like, "Oh, like, for the nice ghosts, we're gonna have them, like, have like, nice deaths instead of burning." But they just look goofy as shit.

G: [still laughing] It's so corny, too, because it's so extended. Again, they were buying time at this point. Like, literally, she walks into the light for like, 45 whole seconds or something.

C: Yeah.

G: Yeah, and it's so corny. It looks so bad.

C: Do you think if she refused, like, she'd wake up and forget that this whole conversation with Sam and Dean had happened? And like, it'd just be February 22 again next year?

G: But like, Greeley won't be around to torture her again.

C: So, wait, so she literally would be fine.

G: She literally would be fine, but I guess-

C: I mean, she'd be sad because she'd find David and it'd be like, “Oh, he's married.” [laughs]

G: Yeah, but also, isn't it possible for her to go invisible?

C: Right.

G: So watch David [laughs]- just be a creep and watch David from afar.

C: They got rid of. Greeley- like, it's like, "You've suffered enough" - you suffered enough because every time you woke up, you got tortured. Like, that's not a problem anymore. Just let her chill out in the car.

G: Yeah. Yeah. Maybe you can tag her along and have like, a ghost friend to help you with your ghost hunts.

C: Do we think she disappears at sunrise every like, February 23, though?

G: Oh, interesting. So they did not solve this case at all.

C: Right. [G laughs]

G: Because it is exactly sunrise.

C: Yeah. But I guess, like, the implication is that this time, she's disappearing for good. They don't know that, though.

G: They literally don't know that.

C: Maybe she just like, walked into the light and it looked cool, but she was just like, having a moment, and then, like, she's gonna wake up again next year.

G: Yeah.

C: Yeah. I don't know. I feel like they couldn't do this, given the scope of Supernatural, but I would've liked to see this concept as like, a time loop episode, where each time they try to convince her to let go, and they're like, a year older each time or something, you know? And it's like, from Molly's point of view, so it just seems like the same day over and over again.

G: Yeah, I don't think they can do that. But they do do "Mystery Spot," so.

C: Yeah, they do do "Mystery Spot."

G: So there's a little bit of a hint of that there.

C: Yeah. Okay. So yeah. Dean says, "I guess she wasn't so bad. For a ghost." Like, die.

G: Die, Dean.

C: Dean, you were a ghost! I guess he doesn't remember, though, right?

G: Yeah, he doesn't remember his ghost endeavors.

C: Yeah, but Sam does. They like, ouija board communicated.

G: Yeah, and Sam probably told him, right?

C: Yeah, he did.

G: Like, "you were a fucking ghost."

C: Yeah. Well, right, and Dean asks, "Do you think she's really going to a better place?" And Sam says, "I hope so." And Dean says, "I guess we'll never know. Not until we take the plunge ourselves, huh?" [pained sounds] Anyway. [G laughs] Ugh. Okay.

And Sam says! He says the line. He says, "It doesn't really matter, Dean. Hope's kind of the whole point." Ahhh.

G: Awww.

And then they go to the Impala, and the episode ends.

C: Yep.

G: Crystal.

C: Yeah.

G: What do you think about this episode?

C: While watching it, I was very bored, but I think that as an episode to discuss, it's like, fun because there's some meat in there.

G: Yeah. You're literally just copying what I said.

C: I know. I know. Okay-

G: It's because I'm correct.

C: Quoting Grey, quoting Grey- Yes, as you said, that is true, because you're right.

G: I literally was right. I think this is a pretty solid episode of BABPod. Supernatural? Not so much. [both laugh] It's fun to make fun of, but it also has good bits that are actually genuinely good.

C: Mm-hmm.

G: So yeah. Best line/worst line. I'll start with my best line. And it's not the same as yours. My best line is "You just care about your hunt. You don't care about me or my husband."

C: Mm. Delicious.

G: That one really got to me. I was like, "Ooh, yeah! They just care about the hunt. Agh!"

C: Yeah, no the thing is that my line is also not "hope's kind of the whole point."

G: Oh, okay.

C: I think it's a really iconic Sam line, but I think in context, about it being specifically about the afterlife, it's like, not as impactful for me ‘cause I'm like, “Oh, Sam’s just a sad boy.” [laughs]

G: He is sad. Like, when they were walking back to the car, I was like, "Aw, he's literally so fucking sad, bro! He's literally so sad." And I was still thinking that thing where I was like, "If I met the Winchester brothers, what would I think of them?" And I was like, "I still would probably think Dean is like, funny and cool, and I would still think Sam is like, a depressed loser."

C: No!

G: He's literally emo.

C: Okay, Sam's most fun depressed loser pathetic moment, I think, was when he was in the attic, because the way they were doing the sound, like, his breathing was kind of loud, and he, like, just sounded like he had a cold or a stuffy nose the whole time.

G: Oh, yeah! He literally did sound like he had a cold. And I made, like- what do you call that?- I made a note about that scene that was like, "Does Jared Padalecki have- was Jared Padalecki sick this episode?" But immediately after, his voice turns back to normal, so I don't think it's-

C: Yeah. But he sounded very pathetic and wet during that part, so I appreciated that.

Yeah, okay my best line is actually the "Spirits like Greeley are like wounded animals. Lost, in so much pain that they lash out." And also later, when he says, like, "Whatever it is, they just hold on too tight. Can't let go. So they're trapped. Caught in the same loops, replaying the same tragedies over and over." And I also liked the part where later he says, like, "They weren't evil people, you know? A lot of them were good. Just- something happened to them. Something they couldn't control." Because I mean, I really like the idea of ghosts as wounded animals. It's a good way to like, contextualize why they hurt people in a way that's-

G: Reasonable, yeah.

C: - that makes you sympathetic, and that's reasonable, yeah. It's like, acknowledging the trauma that they've gone though.

G: It's like, at that point, they've been through so much pain that, like, the id supersedes anything else.

C: Mm-hm.

G: That's the kind of the vibe that it has. Like, the animalistic instincts take off and like, stay the most prominent out of all the characteristics that they have. Yeah, it's pretty good.

C: Yeah.

G: It's up there with like, the concept of like, a haunted place being an open wound that Missouri said once.

C: Yeah, or sick, yeah.

G: Making these, you know, supernatural beings and phenomenas feel organic is a good way to go, I feel like. Like, when they said Hell was a pit made of meat and bones, like, yeah, that's also fucking great.

C: Yeah.

G: Like, it evokes something very organic, and it feels like, disgusting, but also it feels concrete, you know?

C: Yeah. Yeah. And then I liked the rest of it because, you know, like we mentioned, a lot of parallels to Supernatural in general.

G: Yeah, that's true.

For my worst line, I would say when Dean said, like, "This is a fascinating conversation and all, but this highway's only haunted once a year-"

C: Ugh, such a dick.

G: "- and we got till sunup to wrap this thing up. Why do you say we move it along, okay? Great."

C: Shut up. Shut up.

G: And like, fuck you, dude. Fuck you. Fuck off. What's your worst line?

C: When Dean shows up, and he's like, "Sammy's always getting a little J. Love Hewitt when it when it comes to things like this. Me? I don't like 'em-" meaning ghosts- "and I sure as hell ain't making apologies for 'em." Like, you're such a dick, Dean. You're such a dick.

G: This ghost is obviously in so much pain, right? So much distress. And she doesn't even know that she's a ghost, and she has never tried to intentionally kill anyone.

C: Yeah.

G: Like, all the fatalities that happened in this street during February 22 were not on purpose from her department. Like, they are all legitimately accidents. Why are you so mad at her?

C: Yeah. You just show up, and you're like, "I don't like you, by the way. Like, I hate your guts." Like, shut up, Dean.

G: Okay. IMDB rating.

C: Huh.

G: I feel like this one is going to be low-

C: Me too.

G: - because it's not relevant to the plot at all.

C: Yeah. And also, like, it's boring.

G: And also, watching it is not, like I said, it's not a particularly good Supernatural watching experience. But-

C: I also feel like people won't like the twist that much. They'll either be like, "That was super obvious," or they'll be like, "That was super corny," you know?

G: Yeah. So what would you give it?

C: God, it's been so long. Um, 7.9?

G: 7.9. You know what? I'll go for an 8.1.

C: Okay.

G: Let's see. So it is... [gasps]

C: What? Is it like, high?

G: You wanna guess again? You wanna guess again? Just guess again.

C: 8.4?

G: It's an 8.8.

C: What? Okay, so people liked it.

G: Okay, that's good. I think that's pretty good. I don't think it's an 8.8. Like, I don't think "Houses of the Holy" getting a 7.9 and this getting an 8.8 is reasonable. I would say this is more of an 8.5 episode.

C: Yeah, I'd say it's more 8.3 or whatever.

G: But I'm glad that people liked it, yeah.

C: Huh. Okay. Good for them.

G: "Brilliant ep!" "Classic Supernatural, one of the best episodes so far." "The best episode of the second season." Those are the positive reviews. One negative review is "the twist, once revealed, makes the episode stilted." Which I think is the result of the fucking flashback sequence 'causeit was so fucking bad.

Oh my god. This one says, like, "Classic Supernatural. After waiting a month to satisfy my Supernatural cravings-" Why? They spent a month before releasing this episode? "Here's another gem by Raelle Tucker, who also wrote the very creepy 'Bugs' [laughs] and 'Scarecrow.'"

C: Noo! She didn't even write "Bugs." Did she even write "Scarecrow"?

G: I don't think she wrote "Scarecrow" at fucking all.

C: Yeah, John Shiban wrote "Scarecrow"-

G: Yeah!

C: And those two one-off randos wrote "Bugs."

G: [laughing] What is this person on?

Oh, okay, so the woman is from Battlestar Galactica. That makes sense. That's why people like her.

C: Okay, yeah, people like when they recognize an actor.

G: She has a familiar face. I think-

C: Apparently, she was in a Key & Peele sketch. [G laughs]

G: Maybe that's where I recognize her. I do love Key & Peele. I think they're fucking hilarious. And it's so wild to me that Jordan Peele turned from absolute comedy icon to like, one of the best horror directors of our time. Good for him. Good for him.

C: Yeah. I will say a controversial statement, though, is that I watched-

G: You don't like-?

C: - that I watched Nope in theaters on Friday, like, on the release date, 'cause I was excited about it-

G: Oh.

C: - and I didn't like it.

G: I still haven't seen it. I just saw Us and Get Out.

C: Yeah, no, his other movies are great. Big agree. But Nope did not do it for me.

G: Though I would say, there is a decline in quality from Get Out to Us. I think Get Out is much more, like, so much better than Us. But like, Us is still pretty good.

C: Okay, I never watched Us because I'm a scaredy cat, but Get Out was really good.

G: It's creepy. It's genuinely creepy. Like, the creep factor in that one is- [laughing] I know I said that the creep factor in this episode is good, but like, if you really want a creep factor episode, go watch Us or something.

Okay, that's it for this episode of Busty Asian Beauties. Next week, we will be discussing- what episode is this? 17: “Heart.” Leave us a rating or a review wherever you get your podcasts.

Hey, so this is going to be a whole rant, sorry I've been gone.

Lack of internet and mainly my job i feel like a workaholic 😭

Anyway, so not many of you know but I've been a TMNT fan for most of my life.

I, unfortunately, grew up with the 2012 series, there are several reasons why that show went downhill.

Donnie x April, writing, the romantic trope is written, the turtles all having a romantic love interest, Leo crushing on Kirai ( his sister may i say) and honestly lost me after the love triangle with April, Donnie, and Casey.

except for Raphael and Mona Lisa, i love them as a couple i wish rise had them in the show or movie.

I have seen the 1980s movies and cartoon shows of TMNT through my dad who is an even bigger fan of TMNT but only the originals.

I'll explain more on, however, 2003 or 2007 i have never seen.

Honestly, I have never loved TMNT more than Rise, I'm in love with Leo and Donnie smart and funny guys count me in XD

I recently started watching the show and when it came out and 15 year old me, did not give it a chance.

At first, i thought it was dumb, i still think they look like frogs lol and i was still confused why April's skin color was changed.

I was used to seeing white April than black April and my dad does not see her as April but as a completely different character.

I'll get back to that later but oh boy i missed out on a good show, given it is still too kiddy for me.

But i love the humor, animation and yes, i believe Leo and Donnie carry the show with the humor :)

Just watching season 1 is making me happy, I'm super into it.

I just love it's the opposite of the old TMNT and less serious.

The old TMNT never really got me into loving the turtles like Rise i just liked them like heroes until Rise..

Usually, Leo is the serious older brother, and leader, Ralph angry fighter, and Donnie is an inventor genius while Mikey is the big pizza lover and fun kid.

While on the rise...

Raph is a giant softie older Brother, Leo is a dumb ninja, Donnie is genius still but autistic in this world which is confirmed and Mikey isn't a full-on pizza lover like in the previous media adaptions but an artist, a fun-loving kid who loves pizza like his bros.

I love the fact Shelldon's voice by the original Michelangelo.

I hope to watch season 2 and the movie soon, definitely won't see the movie til i see season 2.

I recently got into the Rottmnt fandom and made two OCs

Emily & Gwendolyn, i mention them because of the topic I'm going to bring up.

So as far as i will til i upload the drawings of my OCs.

Emily is a half-American half-Japanese teenage human girl, with a mysterious/dark past, best friends with April, and has a HUGE crush on Leo.

Emily lives with her aunt, uncle and cousins it is noting her father is not in the picture and confirmed he is deceased while the mother is a mystery for now.

It's a semi-canon Emily has a large dragon burn mark on her right arm

{...}

Gwendolyn or Gwen is Donnie's human online friend she is surprised that he is a turtle mutant but thinks it is cool, she is a geek, hipster, comic book lover, and mainly chill.

She is basically Ramona Flowers, with the chill vibe, hammer weapon, and dying her hair every day different color.

Gwen is a chubby, Hispanic teenage girl, she lives in New York with her family and is a classmate to April and Emily.

She is known as a smart gal, hipster internet blogger, and gamer.

She is a love interest for Donnie but is not confirmed until later on that they're dating (most likely early season 2 wise)

I recently heard that if you have a cartoon and you have a certain race that character has to be voiced by that certain race.

That kinda sounds like reverse racism, i would go into it but don't want to say anything wrong.

But if i were to choose voice actors for my OCs Emily definitely be voiced by 'Misuki' even though she is only a singer she would be perfect for Emily

Gwen probably would be voiced by Zoe Saldaña, i just see her voice like that :)

Now as for TMNT 2014 & 2016 Bayverse i did not enjoy as much the CGI was just weird and the first movie was alright but the second i wasn't into.

Once again one of the turtles had a crush on April, Mikey.

I dont mind mutant x mutant or mutant x human but it has become weird ever since 2012 Donnie had a crush on April 2014 Mikey had a crush on April.

And now mutant mayhem Leo having a crush on April. What's next Raph has a crush on April.

Personally, i think they should use a different female character to be shipped with the turtles other than April.

As some may tell i didn't enjoy the TMNT mutant mayhem movie, the humor was there but the writing and animation didn't make me fall in love with it, unlike Rise.

However, my dad or i suppose any old TMNT fan, doesn't enjoy the new adaption of TMNT as it become more childish than serious.

Well, from what i seen as an old TMNT fan my dad didn't enjoy the animation or new personalities of the turtles in Rise and the humor doesn't hit him as much.

It's just fun and funny to me him criticizing the show that i personally enjoy XD

I kinda do ship April and Cassandra, not going to lie thought it would be cute :))

Honestly, realized I'm the same age as Raph XD Oh shit, still ship Mona Lisa and Raph though.

This is all i had to rant about, i do love the ROTTMNT series more than the previous franchises before.

Also, I recommend these videos that goes into the deeper dive of TMNT & ROTTMNT all together to get what I mean.

(Fake ASMR Commission) An Encounter With A Human Girl [Giant Listener]

------------------------------------------------------------

"Huh... I just remembered about that one Disney movie that got canceled."

"Gigantic"

"Strange how I suddenly just thought of that. Now I wonder... Was a synopsis ever made for that movie? I'd at least like to know the summary for it since I'll never be able to watch it. A quick Google search should do."

*typing sounds*

"Oh wow! There's actually a description for it."

"Set in Spain during the Age of Exploration, Gigantic follows a teenage adventure-seeker named Jack as he discovers a world of giants hidden within the clouds. Along the way, he befriends a young giantess, Inma, who's 11 years old, 60 feet tall & treats him like a living doll. He agrees to help her find her way home, but he doesn't account for her super-sized personality, nor for the presence of the hostile Storm Giants, who stand at 120 feet."

"Aw man! That sounds so cool. I would love to have seen this movie. It was clearly inspired by Jack & the Beanstalk. Damn, it would've been such a spectacle. Does the page mention a reason for it's cancelation?"

"It does. Unspecified creative differences."

"Well that's vague. That could mean anything. And it was two years into development. Such wasted potential. What a shame."

*giant footstep sounds start*

"What the... Why is the ground shaking?"

"Wait a minute. This makes no sense. Earthquakes don't even happen where I live."

"I should probably go outside anyway. On the off chance the roof doesn't hold up, it'd be unwise to stay inside. These tremors are intense. Hopefully I don't have to pay for house repairs."

*door opening sound*

"WHAT THE HELL?!"

*giant footstep sounds stop*

"What... Why... How... I don't understand!"

"Oh God, please don't hurt me!"

...

"Huh? You won't? Really?"

...

"Why would I assume that... Uh..."

...

"Y-yes... It's because you're gigantic."

...

"W-well... You aren't visually scary or anything. You look... Pretty normal actually."

"Wait, what am I saying? What's even happening? Am I dreaming? Giants aren't real."

...

"Oh... Oh dear. I... I'm so sorry. That was probably offensive."

...

"It's... Fine? Wow. You don't get offended easily, do you?"

...

"You expected these reactions from a human. Well... No wonder you're so chill."

...

"Um... Sure... I suppose you can pick me up. But... What for?"

...

"You just want to hold me. Well, I don't see why not."

...

"Of course I'm nervous. I never thought I'd meet a giant. Let alone get offered to be held by one. But... I'm willing to try it. This feels like... A once in a lifetime experience that I shouldn't miss out on."

...

"Wow. That's a pretty big hand you got there. I guess I'll just... Climb onto your palm."

"*grunt* There we go. Hope you didn't mind me using your fingernail as leverage."

...

"Woah! Oh jeez. The ground is falling away fast. What is my life right now?!"

...

"Uh... Hey there. Pretty cool seeing you at eye level."

"Oh God, that's such a long way down."

...

"I'm sure you won't drop me. It's just... Your hand doesn't have guardrails."

...

"You'd catch me if I fell. Heh... You're really nice, you know that?"

"So... Where are you from?"

...

"You... Can't say. Why not?"

...

"Ohhh... So... Humans & giants were never meant to meet each other. Wait. If that's the case then why are you here?"

...

"You got curious. So like... Will you get into trouble if your fellow giants find out you were here?"

...

"I see. Well, it's a good thing I live in a rural area. Not too many prying eyes around here. I think I'm the only human whose seen you so far."

...

"You're not worried about humans seeing you. Why though? That sounds like it would be important."

...

"Oh yeah. That makes sense. It's unlikely anyone would believe someone who claims that they saw a giant. Guess I can't really make that claim either. At least not without sounding like a crazy person."

"But still. Why is it so important for your kind to remain hidden? I don't really see the big deal."

...

"Too complicated. Well... I suppose there's a certain risk involved with attempting to co-exist. And there'd also be a massive resource issue."

"Hmmm... I see what you mean. We're both in a situation that isn't broken in the first place so... Why fix it?"

...

"Oh... You have to go now. Aww... Already? It feels too soon."

...

"Well, if it's really that important then I suppose I can't stop you. But... Will I see you again? I don't want to part ways forever. You're so cool! And you've been so nice to me. A true BFG. You know. Big Friendly Giant."

...

"You'll visit in secret. Awesome! Just be careful, alright? Wouldn't want your own kind to find out about this."

...

"Well... I guess you should put me down now. Slowly this time, okay? Nearly got motion sick when you picked me up a few minutes ago."

...

"*grunt* There we go. Back on solid ground."

...

"Hey, be safe out there, you hear? I don't know where you live, but I wish you safe travels."

...

"Until we meet again, my giant friend."

LuluWorld, Episode 1: "How Am I Supposed To Be A Writer With This?!"

I’m sorry, what?!

“Passable“?

I just wrote the best possible paper on Pride and Prejudice this school has ever seen and I get a passable?!

How am I supposed to be the most magnificent author in this and all future days and ages if my understanding of one of the key feminist literary works is passable?!

It had to be a mistake. I was staring at the scribbled word in red pen, on the bottom of the page, under my meticulously written conclusion, cursing the day my English teacher, Ms. Austen (the irony!) was born. Who does she think she is, a descendant?

Could she be?

Let me rewind a bit.

I’m Lulu, of Lulu’s World fame. Okay, that fame part might be an exaggeration - I have a book podcast that has about ten regular listeners, and I can name three of them. Jack, Ava and my dad, and even he isn’t that much of a regular. My mom is too busy and my sister “cannot be bothered with childish takes on books of dubious quality”. She’s so annoying.

I learned to read at three.

By age seven, I had read all the fairy tale books I could get my hands on.

By age nine, I had decided.

I’m going to be a writer.

Yes.

And now, weeks before my sixteenth birthday, I am being discarded in the basket of semi-literate high-schoolers who write passable papers on serious literature.

How is passable even an acceptable grade?

“You can wipe the shock off your face, Lulu,” I heard the treacherous voice behind me.

Ms. Austen.

“It’s far from what I’m used to from you,” she said casually. “It’s written well, but you’ve completely missed the point of the novel. Excellent work, Ava,” she added casually.

My best friend did not get passable. On the contrary.

“Isn’t that debatable, though?” I couldn’t keep my mouth shut.

“It is,” my teacher said. “However, you’ve set the bar high with your previous work. You’ll have to do better next time.”

Oh, so it’s my fault I’ve set the bar high. She must have thought it was such a motivating thing to say. Gah, I can’t even be bothered anymore. This is counterproductive to my work. I need my writing brain stable. I need my beauty nerves intact. Not all bookworms need to look like they’ve been dragged through mud, thank you very much, movies from the early 2000s. I just need to snap out of it, because it’s coming.

My birthday is coming and I will finally gather the courage…

To invite him.

Aren’t you just amazed at how you can do everything right, like, you’re smart, you’re doing good in school, you have friends, you have a family you don’t hate (okay, I love them), you have everything planned so well…

And you’re a complete idiot when it comes to the guy you like?

I’m sorry. Not like. Have an epic crush on. A crush of soul-drenching, knee-trembling, cheek-exploding proportions.

And he, given my luck these days - has a girlfriend.

Of course he does.

Like he’s going to wait for me to gather the courage and say a tiny, croaky ‘hi’, at his age of sixteen, in a school full of hot girls, in the presence of a thousand batting eye-lashes? And I’m not even that shy!!!

At lunch, I had my forehead on the table, completely uninterested in the food in front of me, thinking only of how miserable I felt watching him from a distance.

Ava patted my back.

“Just screw him,” she said. “He’s not worth it, someone new will come along.”

I admire her attitude sometimes.

“I don’t want someone new,” I said, staring at my knees. “I want Lucas.”

“Who is she, anyway?” Ava asked, as I had already informed her the second I found out. It was a long, long texting sessions, with me freaking out and her trying to talk me out of freaking out.

“I don’t know. I just saw a story on his Instagram where he’d put his hand around her and plastered a tiny heart emoji somewhere between them. It was horrible.”

“The tragedy,” Ava said.

“I know you’re mocking me.”

“I swear I’m not.”

But Ava wouldn’t understand. She had a boyfriend of two years and her days of quiet romantic suffering were over. Mine on the other hand were threatening to rain on every other aspect of my life.

“What’s the next episode of The World about?” Ava tried to change the subject, in hope of me getting unglued from the table and engaged in productive conversation.

“Well, it was going to be on Pride and Prejudice, but it turns out I completely missed the point, didn’t I?" I snapped. Not at her. At the world.

I spent the rest of the classes sulking and jotting down ideas for short stories. And when I left the building, I could swear I heard a sad blues song as the soundtrack to my pathetic being.

I’m illiterate.

Lucas has a girlfriend.

I have a few hours to think of a completely new concept for the podcast.

I’ll never find love, will I?

Of course, when I got home, my dad immediately had an opinion.

“And what tragedies have the heavens bestowed upon my child, might I ask?” he quipped from behind his laptop. To the uninitiated, this would sound like my dad was a Biblical character, of the most solemn kind.

But it was his way of showing that he’s once more unbothered by my life’s turmoil, in fact - he thought banter would be more appropriate. A comic, my dad. And a horror writer by day.

“Not now, dad,” I dropped my backpack and made my way towards the stairs.

Up in my room, I buried my face in my pillow. I was preparing to treat myself to a thorough cry, it was long overdue. The paper, Lucas, the stupid girlfriend, who wasn’t even that ugly. Who am I kidding, she was gorgeous. One can’t even take a break.

And just as I was about to surrender, I felt my phone vibrate from somewhere under me.

I swear, if it’s dad with another attempt at a joke, I’ll…

But the name on the screen certainly wasn’t Dad.

My jaw dropped and my heart started pounding, threatening to rise up in my throat.

It was him.

And right under the name Lucas, it said:

Hey.

NOW WHAT?!

I actually don't remember any of my dreams from las night it's quite unusual. Actually, hold on... I just remembered shopping for a headband, but also another wild dream where me and some friends discovered an abandoned place, but it turned out someone was there. We were like "shhhhh 🤫" while making so much noise, lmao. It was quite scary tbh

I love you

Felix Volturi x Mixed race!FEM!Reader

A/N: My first oneshot! Yaaayy! Needed to give Felix some love, before I jump back on Demetri.

MINORS DO NOT INTERACT!

Warnings: she/her pronouns, Finger kink (?), light smut (is that a thing?), fluff, bit of angst, spanking (😳), dom!Felix, bratty behavior (?), praise kink, penetration (m&f), teasing, zero use of a condom- BUT Y’ALL BETTER USE THEM!!!, little aftercare, really don’t know if the smut makes sense I’m sorry.

Word Count: 3506

“Cara mia, what are you doing?” Felix asks amused as he walks into his room, watching his mate standing on her head.

“I got bored.” Her curly hair fanning around her as she struggles to breathe properly.

“And making the blood rush to your head was your way of lessening that boredom?” He chuckles as she rolls her eyes at him, pushing off of the wall to get up.

“Yes! You weren’t here, how else was I going to occupy my time?” Sitting up she feels dizzy and dazed as the blood rushes back to the rest of her body, “Whhhooaaaa, I think I need to lay down.”

“Come here.” Shaking his head he picks her up with ease, laying her on the bed, “Better?”

“Uummm, ask me again in a few seconds.” Screwing her eyes shut she rubs her forehead gently. He lightly swats her hand away, placing his very cold hand on her forehead. She shivered slightly but relaxed at the change in temperature.

“You do know you could kill yourself if you stay like that for too long?” Worry is etched in his brow as he brushes the hair out of her face.

“Yeah, I know. I read about that in the library- since Aro won’t let me have my phone.” She grumbles, crossing her arms missing her ability to use social media, and her music. At this Felix sighs deeply, fixing her with a look- one she’s seen many times already, “I know, I know- it’s for my own “safety” and the “assurance of your secret”. You’ve told me a bunch of times. I get it, geez.”

She turns away from him glaring at the wall.

Felix knows she misses her family, and technology, and when he explained everything to her she was on board, but that was 3 months ago and she’s getting antsy. It’s a constant fear of his that she’ll get so fed up with everything and leave Volterra- leave him.

He wouldn’t blame her either if she did, how could someone as small, pure, and happy but with someone like him- a literal monster. Sure they spend every waking moment with one another, and he has made his feelings for her clear since the beginning, but she hasn’t.

She’s tried to get close to him, give him hugs or hold his hand, even smiling brightly up at him. Unfortunately Felix doesn’t think it's naturally her- the first two weeks she was in the castle she didn’t talk to him, only stared at him with wide scared eyes whenever he would approach her.

Demetri had been the one to talk to her first, and that put Felix at ease until he heard her laugh for the first time at something his best friend had said. He didn’t talk to Demetri for a few days, much to the trackers dismay. So, Demetri cornered him and was very amused at how jealous Felix was,

“Felix, my friend, she is your mate.”

“I know.”

“Good, because she’s positively smitten with you.”

“…What?”

He just laughed and walked him to the common room, where she sat in a loveseat watching a movie with Heidi. He pushed Felix forward to sit on the loveseat- timidly he motions to the empty space next to his mate. She sends Demetri a glance, and then one to Heidi before nodding her head avoiding his gaze out of sheer embarrassment- not fear.

Leaning down to his friends ear, Demetri whispers,

“She looks scared and her heartbeat is fast, but it’s not out of fear.”

He pats his shoulder reassuringly, before holding his hand out to Heidi who gladly takes it ready to exit the room. His mate panics slightly looking like a scared deer.

“Where are you going?”

“You’ll be fine my dear. You have Felix.” Heidi winks as she leaves with Demetri smiling mischievously.

Neither say anything, just sit as far apart from each other as they can, the air full of awkward tension. She’s so hyper focused on the hulking vampire next to her she can’t even hear the movie anymore. Clearing her throat she turns to face him- she can’t be too sure, but she swears he jumped slightly when she turned towards him,

“Okay, so, like… I know we haven’t talked, ever, but I just want to know if you’re cool with me. Like… are we…cool?”

He stays quiet for a few seconds, basking in the glow that is her. Her flustered state, the sound of her heart- still beating fast, but not like before. The way her dark brown eyes stare back into his red ones, her biting her lip unsure of what his answer will be. Her hair framing around her like a dark halo of curls brushing her shoulders, her sun kissed skin glowing with life and scattered freckles. Blinking once, he nods his head giving her a small smile- hearing her heart skip a beat,

“We’re cool.”

“Great!” She graces him with a bright dimpled smile, turning back to the movie.

He knew he was done in at that smile of hers, he would burn down the world if she asked, and he made up his mind to make sure no harm would ever come to her- he’d hide her away if he had to. And that’s what he did.

She didn’t mind too much, until she had to give up her phone. She ignored him for four days, glaring at him whenever he opened his mouth to speak with her. He sent (begged) Demetri to talk to her, but she turned him away too. Afton made a joke in passing saying if anyone could make the human talk it would be Jane. Felix was livid, but did glance at Jane, who to everyone’s surprise went to the girl’s room.

After an hour, Jane walks arm in arm with his little human, giggling like children, but turning stone face as they lay eyes on Felix.

“You, Felix, are an idiot. You must apologize to her.”

“I’m sorry?”

“Is that a question?”

“I- what did I do wrong?”

“You took something precious from her, so apologize.”

“It’s for her safety, along with ours- you know this!”

“It doesn’t matter. Apologize.”

“…I’m…sorry.”

“Is that sufficient for you?” Jane looks at his mate, brow raised.

“…Yeah, I guess. Thank you Jane.”

“You are welcome. Come, let's go play with my dolls.”

“Okie dokie.”

Dumbfounded, he watches his mate walk off with Jane. Looking to the others, they all put their hands up trying to forget what they just saw. Jane being nice left them more terrified than her using her power, and they weren’t about to question it.

After she finished playing with Jane, she walks to the common room where Felix is shooting pool grumbling to Demetri who looks like he’s at his wits end. Chuckling at the sight the two turn to her and Demetri couldn’t have been more happy.

“I’ll take him off your hands, Demi.”

“Thank you!”

“Come on, Felix. You have so much groveling to do.”

He sighs, but smiles at the smile on her face, knowing she isn’t mad at him anymore. They spent the night talking about everything and nothing, and she made up her mind that she’d try to figure out how to spend her time without her phone- no matter how bad she wanted it.

She was doing well for the first month, Felix thought that would be the end of it, but it wasn’t. There were times when she would reference things he didn’t know, and she’d begin searching for her phone to explain it to him, only to huff out in annoyance remembering she wasn’t allowed one.

She’d become grumpy and he’d leave her to stew in her anger- he didn’t want to, but she made it clear that when she was angry or annoyed the best option is to just let her be. So he did just that. He’d make his way to the common room and stare up at the ceiling listening to her heartbeat and hear her faint cries.

It tore him up inside, and as much as he wanted to make her happy, he knew that was one thing he just couldn’t allow. So it went like this for the next two months, and she became almost distant with him, and his fears grew once again. Putting on a brave face, he would continue to talk with her hoping that their conversations would fill the void- how he wished she was from a simpler time.

Now he needs to know what she’s thinking, what she truly feels… if she wants to leave. He frowns at the back of her head, dreading the answer he’ll receive from his unspoken question. Gently, he turns her back towards him, he can’t stop the smirk at the face she’s making- she’s closed her eyes tightly, slightly sticking out her tongue at him.

“Cara mia, may I ask you a question?”

Her eyes open at the softness of his voice, looking at him with confusion.

“Sure.”

“…Are you… are you happy?”

“Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?” She props herself up on her elbows, furrowing her brow.

“I suppose what I’m asking is… are you happy being here… with me?” He can’t hold her gaze for too long as she looks at him like he’s stupid. He should’ve known- of course she wasn’t happy, if her crying and glaring at him wasn’t evident enough-

“Of course I am.”

It’s his turn to look at her with confusion.

She smiles gently at him, laying on his chest, staring into his eyes,

“Sure, I may be a bit of a brat about not having my phone, not being able to go out and shop- or just walk around, but I have you. You make it more bearable, and I appreciate all you do for me. You put up with my shitty attitude when anyone else would’ve just left, and I’m sorry for the way I act- it’s a learning experience for me for sure. I’m so used to someone fighting me with everything, but you don’t do that, and I love you for that. I just wish that I could really show you how I feel, but you seem to get all stiff whenever I get— what? What’s with that look?”

They stare at each other, both with a look of bewilderment- well his is bewilderment and hers is more along the lines of concern. She glances to the side before looking back at his unblinking eyes, as he sits them up. Taking an unneeded breath, he clears his throat as she shifts uncomfortably.

“What did you just say?”

“Um… ‘what’s with that look’?”

“Before that.”

“You get all stiff’?”

“No, before that.”

“I don’t know…’wish I could show you how I’-”

“Before that.”

“Felix.” She glares at him, getting annoyed.

“Please, just- I’m not sure if I heard you correctly.”

“The guy with super hearing isn’t sure he heard me correctly?” She smirks at him, raising a brow at him. He nods his head with a small smile, looking at her expectantly, sighing as she thinks back on what she said. Her eyes widen as she realizes she said, “I… I love you.”

She’s shy and bashful, as her voice grows smaller repeating the words. Now it’s her turn to avoid his gaze, as she plays with the fuzz on the throw blanket they’re sitting on. She tries to hide behind her curly hair, but he isn’t having it. Brushing it to the side he tilts her up to look at him, searching her face for any kind of lie. Biting her lip she closes her eyes out of sheer embarrassment, making him chuckle.

Eyes still closed, she hits his chest huffing,

“Don’t laugh at me. It’s not funny.”

She moves away from him, feeling as though he’s making fun of her, but he quickly grabs her, placing her on his lap, holding her close. Hiding his smile in her hair, as he whispers in her ear,

“I love you too, Y/N.”

She wraps her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly, hiding her face in his neck- smiling like a mad woman. He hugs her back as tightly as he can if he were human, and they both share a laugh of shock and amusement as their words sink in.

She can feel the cold of him seeping through her clothes, but she welcomes it. They stay like this for a few seconds before she brushes her nose against his neck, lightly pressing a kiss into it, testing the waters. Not getting a negative response from Felix, she kisses his neck again, but with more boldness and she can hear the faintest of purrs coming from him. Smiling to herself she liters his neck, jaw, and cheeks with kisses.

Pressing their foreheads together, they stay watch each other with content smiles,as she places a kiss on his nose. Rubbing her thumb on his cheek, she glances at his lips before looking in his eyes again. He moves ever so slightly forward, not sure if he should- he wants to, he really does, but he has his own doubts clouding his mind.

Not waiting for any more response, she presses her lips to his carefully.

It was almost timid as she did it, but once their lips met, it was as if a floodgate was opened. So much emotion and feeling went into the kiss- her frustrations, his love, her want, his need.

When they pulled away, she was laying back on the bed as he hovered over her- his once red eyes now pitch black, her dark brown eyes with blown pupils. Allowing himself to be pulled down to her, their kiss becomes more sloppy, more needy, more heated. She gasps as she feels cold fingers brush her side, allowing him to deepen the kiss.

Moans slowly fill their room as clothes begin to come off. Left only in their underwear, he asks,

“Are you sure you want this?… You want me?”

She gives him a look of ‘are you stupid’, before rolling her eyes taking his much larger hand in hers, trailing it up her sides, to her chest, and then to her mouth where she sucks on his fingers making him stare at her, mouth agape.

He feels venom pool in his mouth and swallowing quickly he removes his fingers from her mouth, kissing her like his life depended on it. She scratches down his back, smiling at the groan that leaves him. Turning her head to the side for some much needed air, he takes this opportunity to give her neck the same treatment, finding her sweet spot, he lightly nips her making her roll her hips up against him.

Moving down her neck, he leaves open mouth kisses on her chest, stomach and thighs, she squirms as he slowly removes her panties, inhaling her scent.

“Felix, p-please.”

A wicked smile is on his face as he kisses her thighs getting close to where she wanted him, but never touches. Growing frustrated she grabs his hair, glaring at him.

“Stop being an asshole, and just eat me out already.”

“Why should I?” All her growing anger is replaced with shock as he smirks up at her, tracing random patterns on her skin, “You said it yourself, you’ve been a brat. Why should you be rewarded for that?”

Oh…

OH…

okay.

With wide eyes she just stares at him, not knowing what to say or do- sex has never been like this for her. Sure some guys tried it, but it didn’t last long, but now she really doesn’t know what to do. So she says the only thing she can,

“I’m sorry.”

And lays back down staring up at the ceiling, hands folded on her chest.

“I’m afraid, ‘I’m sorry’ isn’t going to cut it.”

She yelps as she’s flipped onto her stomach, ass propped up and the sound of a smack echoing in the room. Eyes still wide she stares at the wall, wondering if that really happened. And when she feels the sting of another hit on her ass, she knows.

Spanking was never a kink of hers, but now it is as she feels herself clench around nothing. Closing her eyes she gasps as his voice deeply says,

“Count.”

“*smack* O-one… *smack* Tw- t- two…” she shifts slightly rubbing her thighs together, “*smack* TH-three~eee… ohmygosh… *smack* four…”

“Louder!”

“Four! Felix please I-”

“Oh, but you will, Tesoro. Now, count.”

“Five!”

He pauses, smiling as he tilts his head in amusement staring at his mates back,

“I haven't done anything yet, Y/N.”

“…oh…” Chuckling, he slaps her ass with a little more force than before, causing her to yelp out, “FI-IVE~”

Once she gets to ten, her ass is stinging and she’s barely holding on to her sanity- who would’ve known she had that kink? She surely didn’t. Felix places kisses up her back kissing her shoulder blade and whispers in her ear,

“You did so well, Y/N.”

She wasn’t planning on making any sound, but the whimper that left her did surprise them both- well that’s another kink to add to the list.

His dark chuckle sends a shiver down her spin as he snakes his hand around to her front, teasing her folds. She begins to pant in need hoping that he’ll stop teasing her and just use her instead, sadly he seems to enjoy messing with her, so she does the one thing she knows will get her what she wants.

Turning her head to look at him over her shoulder, she pouts, glossy dark brown puppy dog eyes, and in a soft needy voice, she says,

“Please, Felix. Please. I need you.”

…Well, who is he to argue with the wants and needs of his mate?

A strained sound escapes him as he stares back at her, with a look of amazement and wonder at how such a creature has come to him. Making her lay on her back, he nudges her legs apart with his knee, staring into her eyes. Aligning himself, he exhales at the feeling of her taking him in completely, neither move as they get used to the feel of each other.

Her walls flutter around him with every breath she takes, and his resolve is slowly slipping. Leaning his forehead into the mattress he groans out as she purposefully clenches around him.

“Y/- Y/N.”

“That’s called pay back.”

He growls lowly at her, before slamming his hips into her, making her cry out.

“No. That’s called pay back.”

She gives no reply, just the sound of her breathing heavily, as she covers her face with her arm, trying to keep a grasp on her sanity. Moving her arm from her face, he takes in her disheveled state- her skin has a thin layer of sweat, her eyes are hooded and her lips are parted as she tries to breathe normally again.

Slowly he pulls out of her- smirking at the whine she gives him- and then slams back in, feeling her walls tighten around him.

“Oh sweet Jesus.”

Laughing lowly, he keeps his same rhythm, taking in the sounds he pulls from her. It’s not long before she feels the coil building ready to snap. With panicked eyes she looks up at him, smiling down at her he caresses her cheek,

“Come for me, Cara mia.”

Her hips stutter as she reaches her high, her mouth hangs open- no sound coming out as she seems to stare past him at the ceiling. He feels himself getting closer at the sight of her and with a few more thrusts he finishes inside her- both pant out at the feeling.

Slowly he pulls out of her- she hisses as he does- he goes and gets a damp cloth, cleaning her up. She doesn’t move, just lays there staring up at the ceiling with tired eyes. Blowing out a raspberry she quips,

“Well, that was embarrassing.”

Panic floods his senses not knowing what exactly she’s talking about.

“I’ve never finished so fast before. I feel like a super horny teenage boy. Damn.”

Blinking down at her, he relaxes, laughing in disbelief at his mate's words. Leaning his forehead against hers, he pulls her close,

“Cara mia, we are far from done.”

Her breath hitches at his words, as she realizes she’s in for a long night, and she wouldn’t have it any other way.
