Inside Voices

(An I'm Still Here au AU - Premise - JD's injuries are a bit more demanding sooner and they have to go to a hospital for treatment. The hospital calls JD's emergency contact.)

"I don't need that much painkillers," JD insisted. "It doesn't hurt that much, honest."

"I do not want to know what kind of life you have been living if this doesn't hurt that much," the nurse scoffed, ignoring him and letting the morphine flow into her patient. No hospital in the area had gotten many troll patience and so when JD revealed his heavily bleeding abdomen earlier, his brothers had to travel to the edge of a city near the Troll Kingdoms to find a doctor that could help him. Vacay island was just too far away at that point.

The surgery itself took a bit longer than expected but the procedure itself ended up being pretty simple. The brothers tried to give as much information as they could, both what kind of shape JD was in as well as the injuries he may have sustained when he was captured. Previous concussion, a few lacerations, cracked ribs, sprained ankle, the list felt endless. And that wasn't even including the other scars from years previous. There was also his weakness, malnourishment and the exhausting side effects of the talent-draining. The doctors didn't have a concrete answer on that but they believed as long as he worked at it, that would go away eventually.

They hadn't really been able to be near him in hours and it pretty much took all the pretty words and the brother's physical strength keeping Branch from going stir crazy. Not that anyone could really blame him; he thought JD had been dead for six years. In the end, it was mostly Poppy that kept him calm, assuring him that the doctors said his injuries would heal.

However, whenever any one of the doctors hesitated to say anything, Poppy was the one who got in their faces for answers. If the brothers didn't know any better, they'd almost think that Poppy was just as protective as Branch.

It felt like forever and eventually, evening turned into night and then into morning. By that time, JD was recovering in a room from the surgery and Poppy took her sister for some time together and to get some food dragging Tiny Diamond along with them. This left the boys in the room while JD struggled to stay awake. He was being weaned off the morphine and anesthesia and was growing more aware with every passing moment.

The boys talked a bit amongst each other with Branch and Floyd closest to JD, one on each side.

And then it happened.

"WHERE IS HE?!"

A female voice was ringing through the halls, loud and angry and frustrated. Branch and his brothers glanced towards the noise outside, although there was a curtain and door dividing them from seeing anything in particular.

"Ma'am," a nurse sighed from outside. "You need to quiet down. I understand you are..."

Her voice disappeared with in the myriad of others, but JD's brow furrowed, pensive and in thought. "I know that yell," he mumbled.

Bruce patted his hand, comfortingly. "It's nothing, John," he assured, plainly. "Probably some poor lady looking for her husband who got hurt doing something stupid."

The woman's voice got loud again, able to be heard above all others. Branch looked a little interested as well as a tad confused but they couldn't do anything but listen. "You're the one who called ME. I'm his emergency contact! And for a reason!"

"Definitely a pissed off wife," Floyd agreed.

JD shook his head. "No... no, I don't think...."

The doors burst open, the curtains almost ripping off the overhead bar. There was a loud slam, and everyone flinched. A woman - a troll woman - trampled through with large red hair, a plaid button down and four legs - hooves.

"JOHN DORY!"

All the brothers turned to look at their injured brother.

JD just grinned dopily. "Dancin' Delta, my girl! You here for the reunion!?" he cheered, trying to raise his arms. For what, none of them were entirely sure.

"You know her?" Clay asked.

"Who are all ya'll?" Delta demanded, looking around.

Bruce stood up, protectively.

"Delta?!" Branch yelped as he jumped a little, staring at her wide eyed.

Her eyes scanned to him and widened as well, surprised. "Branch?!"

JD laughed, happily. "AWww. you guys remember each other??"

"Remember?" Both of them echoed, looking over at them. JD just blinked blankly like he forgot what they were talking about.

"What is going on here?" Clay yelled, gesturing between the two of them before pointing towards the newcomer. "Who is that?! What is that?!"

"She's... Delta?" JD asked, confused as why one would ask.

"Who is she??"

"My best friend?" JD continued. "I don't get what is so confusing."

Delta just sighed, running a hand over her face. "And his emergency contact. You are high as a kite, ain't ya, John?"

He gave her a thumbs up. "Yeup!"

"And that's why you are so happy," she mumbled, shaking her head. She looked over at the rest of them, calmer now. The better question is who are all of you? And Branch, why are you here?"

"You know her?" Bruce asked him.

"She's the leader of the Country trolls," Branch replied to him and then turned to the mayor. "it's kind of a long story. JD is my brother."

Delta's brow furrowed, as she fell silent for a long moment, thinking about this. She shook her head again, like this wasn't manking much sense. She went down the line, naming off the brothers. "You don't.... okay wait, back up. We got Clay, the nerdy one yes? Floyd with the pink and Spruce..."

"Bruce."

"Bless you."

"What?"

"And..." she paused, something dawning over her. She stared at him as if seeing him an entirely new light, like she had never seen Branch before in her life. He shifted, a little uncomfortable under the scrutiny. "Wait. That can only mean..." she looked over at John. "Seriously?"

JD burst into uncontrollable tears. No one was entirely sure if they were happy tears or not. "I KNOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW."

"I shoulda known," Delta sighed again. "With the face and the goggles and you sing just like him...."

"I do?" Branch echoed.

"Is that a good thing?" Clay whispered.

"Granted, John said you were dead so I didn't even think to make the connection even though I knew you looked familiar," she explained, vaguely.

"You...know our brother?" Floyd reiterated.

"He's been living in Lonesome Flatts for several years now," Delta replied. "Been keeping that boy alive for pretty much that entire time. Or at least trying to. He dissapeared a couple months back. Nearly gave me a damn heart attack."

"It's not my fault!" JD whined. "That's not fair! The entire town was messed up and everyone was gone! I panicked."

"The Rock Apocalpyse?" Branch asked.

"The what?"

"The Rock Apocalypse," Delta agreed and then shouted a little, as if JD was hard of hearing. "Your boy saved music, John!"

"He SAveD music?!"

And there went the waterworks again.

#it's not amazing but it's what i could do under short notice #I'm still here au #I'm still here au au #they are besties ur honor #yes delta and branch met but it was when Branch was like a baby or something #delta was the one that was mentioned that JD talked to for an entire night #yes it was about sad songs

Truth and revenge is best served cold.

[First] Prev <–-> Next

#poorly drawn mdzs #mdzs #xue yang #song lan #This comic was another 'almost cut' one but I previously cut out xue yang bartering (threatening) for potatoes so I felt it was justified #episode 2 is so sad and miserable. I am going to do my best by making it a little funny.#Xue yang really committed fully to this new life of his! Don't threated him by trying to ruin it!#I love how he takes the blame here too. Yes he purposefully set up events to cause a divide between them #Yes he attacked SL because it would hurt XXC the most #but hey: that only hurt because he loved SL so much (in whatever form they have)#and SL hurt XXC in turn by sending him away #Xue Yang set it up but Song Lan dealt a blow on his own #XY is still the *most* at fault here but contrasting this with how strongly he justifies his actions to XXC later is very interesting to me #also he did NOT have to villain monologue about all the stuff he made xxc do. He could have just shut up about it #but nah he needs to cause hurt because HE'S so hurt and can't make other people understand him in any other way.

Odypen definitely and equivalently adore each other BUT I weirdly can't see them as the type to actually say "I Love you".

They still definitely vocalize their love for each other but it's more so in "My Joy", and "Extraordinary Woman", "Strange Woman/Man", etc. And very cheesy lines (both say some cheesy shit in the Odyssey, and he definitely does in the Iliad as well. "Joy like a drowning sailor seeing land" bit???)

I could see "I adore you" but even then, that's probably during very specific moments but the actual "I love you"??? I just typed it just now for fic shit and... It weirdly just didn't feel right and I don't know why. 😅

Idk maybe it's kind of because I see them as over the top in ways, they love wordplay and riddles and I think they'd almost think "...That's not good enough >:( " about it??? I don't know???😂

#I wrote this last night. I'll do the asks I got later. don't worry! :D #I am the cheese god remember?😅#I think these two would try to “out-cheese” each other and whoever is left speechless first loses #“I would forget my own name before I would ever forget you” bullshit. CHEESY #And yes. “I sleep in our nest with you or outside on the dirt” stupidity >:D #I plan for Odysseus as a beggar to ask why she waits so long. As he's been gone a longer amount of time than the time they had together #(Simply asking as reassurance. He knows his answer. Calypso asked him. but what about Penelope?) but she gets mad at the #“Beggar” and pities him as he must be telling the truth about having a miserable life if he never got the chance to know such devotion #How what they have could never be sullied by #something as trivial as distance and years. How the years with him were the best in her life. Only made better by their son.#'My dear Joy made songs and poems about love a reality as that was simply the life we shared. Even separated our 'song' will always echo #no matter how long it's been. I'LL make sure it always does. And I know he's doing the same... That strange man used to say that #even if he died his corpse would drag itself back to us before he'd ever give up.'#...I'm not one for 'odyssey zombie au' but when I first heard it yeah. :'D Came up with this back then #“His eyes as hard as flint or horn-” Bullshit! The sad lil fuck is hiding sobs with coughs and telling her to keep away for fear of her #catching whatever “illness” he has. The nice thing about being disguised as old means sickly old man works.#...#I'm noticing that Odysseus has a lot of silly oneliners while I write Penelope with a shit ton of set up :'D #They are so silly and I love them so much #...I wrote a lot :'D #Mad rambles #shot by odysseus #my headcanons #odypen #yahoo!!!#sometimes I wonder if I should tag this with more things but I don't want to taint the regular tags with my bullshit :'D I KNOW I'm insane

...because any moment may be our last. everything is more beautiful because we're doomed.

#looking through my drafts and seeing this post unfinished and knowing in my core I'll probably never actually finish it .#but strangley enough i don't hate the way it looks with only those 2 panels ? beauty in simplicity or something idk #woe unfinished post be upon ye #honestly probably wouldnt even bother posting it were it not for the fact i was hit by a sudden wave of sadness #by being reminded out of the blue that alex really does just . lose nigel that night #enough deep level analysis my brain is all out i think . but just the simple fact that nigel dies that night #and alex has to go on for the rest of his life post-ending carrying that grief and loss with him #i know we talk about how nigel isn't truly 'gone' in the sense that they're one now and jack is supposed to be an amalgamation of the two #a product of their union and 'consummation' that night at the yard #but he's still gone . no matter how much alex might try and follow in nigel's footsteps #no matter how hard alex tries to tread that same path nigel did to feel close to him #he's gone . they will never have that moment beneath the house ever again . and alex has to go on living with that #anyway . normal again . imagine dropping a song rec like i used to. aha . go listen to sick like me by in this moment.#like minds #murderous intent #nigel colbie #alex forbes #nigel colbie x alex forbes #edit : THEY'LL NEVER HAVE THE MOMENT UNDER THE HOUSE AGAIN !!!!!#thinking about the moment where nigel sits across from alex after he shoots john #and the contrast to the scene in the crawlspace . nigel is trying to connect he is trying to get alex to see to understand #but now alex is closed off. something may be irreparable broken between them #do you think it was the moment where nigel starts to despair . to plead . realise that he needs to find a way to make alex truly see #i need to get some sleep

HZD was such a magical experience. It was a game about the apocalypse, but it still left me feeling hopeful by the end, twisting the despair it made me feel over its past into something like appreciation for everything we still have. It was a game about life and death, about nature and both its vulnerability and its resilience, about how technology can be used for either good or bad, about how it could destroy us but also save us depending on how we use it. It was a game about GAIA and Elisabet's love for the world (and each other), it was about a lonely queer girl's personal quest to find her mother that turned into a quest to save her homeworld, it was the story of an outcast who became the chosen one she never wanted to be, who went from carrying the weight of negative expectations to the weight of positive ones on her shoulders, it was about showcasing both the best and the worst of humanity, while still reassuring us that the effort we put into this world is worth it, even against impossible odds, because this is a world worth fighting for, and there might always be bad but there will also always be good, and life on Earth is worth protecting.

It was so deeply beautiful and moving and at the end of the day it was just a game. I wish I could play it for the first time again

#this hope and sappiness is so uncharacteristic of me... i guess this game really does bring out things i didn't know i had in me huh.#of course i never thought hzd was perfect but.... it had such a strong emotional core that i really miss #yes i listened to sad machine and started crying about gaia again. how do you know?#because i only get this emotional about hzd when i listen to sad machine? ah yes of course.#i mean this is THE song that really sends me back and puts me in the mindset i was in when i was finishing the game for the first time....#maybe i should just replay hzd and pretend i don't know anything about it. i could use the pick-me-up #but i don't WANNA replay it i just wanna relive that first experience :( i miss her i just want her back #i'm just gonna keep crying for now brb #ramble #hzd
