#but he could have invested in a babysitter idk

my absolute personal favorite moment of dean solo w a monster is for sure dean’s face after the siren just casually mentions how deeply rooted his feelings are for his brother by saying “i should be your little brother.” and while thinly veiled as a brotherly “haha omg no hes so silly he just wants his brother back 🤗🤗” thing by everybody and the show, “no. i gave him what he needed. and it wasn’t some bitch in a g-string. no; it was you.” which is a crazy line in itself, (like he might have been spitting facts i fear) the siren is telling sam this as dean holds a knife to his throat as per the sirens instructions?? its just so revealing too. like dean doesnt want a girl, he wants sammy, his little brother.

SVSSS AU: Uncle Shen Jiu
Qui Haitang is Shen Jiu's ‘sister’ - and she's shen yuan's mother why? because.  then shen jiu is shen jiu jiujiu
  This AU features Shen Yuan going from "huh this isn't too bad" straight to "OH SHIT WHAT THE FUCK"
for the fun sake of this AU - Shen Jiu didn didn't do his murder arson routine
 instead, he escaped with help from qht who saw the abuse earlier and incorrectly assumed it was the other servants (Shen Jiu did not correct her)
QJ 100% had creepy designs on his sister because who the fuck marries their prized sister off to a slave they love to beat the shit out of? no one who doesn't intent to murder said slave and make their sister a widow so she stays at the estate
 Invest in incest with some extra steps!
 i do not know who he probably ends up marrying her off to without Shen Jiu? but, someone i guess who he then murders.  Someone important, probably - He wouldn't accept anything less
 but! oh no! qht was un/lucky? enough to get knocked up on her wedding night!  throughout the pregnancy shes,,, starting to see that. maybe. maybe QJL had her perfectly nice husband murdered. and might be a massive creep maybe.
anyway, she's aware Shen Jiu is a cultivator now, they send letters. they are friends. Shen Jiu deserves good things.
 also he got back while Yue Qingyuan was still locked in a cave for his own good so hes not as horrifically bitter and QHT teases him aboutYue Qingyuan because hes the only person on the damn mountain that Shen Jiu has ever said anything nice about
 Shen Yuan is trans. so everyone is like "oh! QHT you had a little girl!" and QJL is is like "hm." and QHT then is like "oh god oh no i was right why was i right"
QHT has  Shen Yuan young - like 20, so Shen Jiu is also about 20 and is head disciple, in line to succeed
so QHT invites Shen Jiu to  Shen Yuan 's 100 day ceremony, as an 'esteemed cultivator' - he comes in a veil with Yue Qingyuan
 XANXIA HEIST
they need to get the baby out of the house. its a baby heist
the plan is - get the baby out of the house and away to cang qiong, wait for QJL to snap and go looking for the baby himself/with whatever shadey people he finds and then murder the man in a forest. blame some demonic creature 
then QHT is lady of the estate and gets her baby back 
but! oh no! QJL becomes some svsss version of a ghost king! they cant kill him unless they find his ashes, and because he died trying to find  Shen Yuan he has an obsession with looking for him
 so while QHT is safe, baby  Shen Yuan is not! and QHT can't visit too often or QJL will track the baby through her
 so, accidental baby acquisition, heist
 also like. the pure fixit fic chaos of Shen Jiu running around doing his shit with this tiny baby strapped to his chest.
Yue Qingyuan and QHT are ghost hunting. QHT is a cultivator because she deserves it. Shen Jiu is a single father
 LQG is babysitter. He has no clue what to do. LQG is having an aneurysm and he has no idea how fucking lucky he is this baby is a transmigrator
 Shen Yuan causes hell for  Shang Qinghua
 Shen Yuan 's favourite pass time is trying to see how many ways he could kill himself under LQG's care. Shen Jiu has picked him up from bai zhan a bit early which made  Shen Yuan panic, because he'd just stolen all of lqg's explosive talismans for laughs
    Shen Yuan being way too smart for a baby and all the cultivators being like "yeah idk what children are like, this seems right"
 LQG does know, but because  Shen Yuan is "related" to Shen Jiu he thinks it's what to expect.  Of course that bastard would have a smart baby, it's whatever

Disclaimer: This post is going to be Anti Moffat for anyone who’s reading and is a fan you’ve been warned.  
I finally finished watching ‘The Rings of Akhaten’.
I’m not even purposefully looking for similarities but I couldn’t help but feel like I was watching an RTD tribute episode the entire time. I’ve been rewatching a lot of random RTD era episodes lately so they’re fresh in my mind maybe that’s why I’m picking up on it...
That intro was so Rose-coded, it was like “Father’s Day” with saving the man from being hit by a car. Their arrival at the planet and Eleven introducing all the aliens reminded me of “The End of the World” especially when they’re standing in front of the window right down to the dramatic pause Nine made in his episode
Merry’s outfit reminded me of those women from “The Fires of Pompeii”, I’m blanking on what they called themselves but I really thought they were going to bring them back in this episode lol I kept waiting for there to be some reveal about it
I don’t know if it’s the color scheme they decided to use but that big speech instantly transported me to Ten’s monologue when facing the Beast. Literally all I could think about when Eleven was giving his speech especially with the “I've seen things you wouldn't believe” line was that he was having his “I’ve seen fake gods and bad gods” moment
Clara’s speech at the very end about how she’s not a stand in for someone else felt like Martha 2.0 honestly...except I guess she’s talking about herself?? Also really unsure why Eleven doesn’t just idk...tell her that he’s seen her before??
This episode was meh although I appreciate that they are trying to establish Clara’s family, it’ll be nice to see more of her dad since we haven’t seen companion families much in Moffat Who! Clara’s just ok right now, I’m not sure where they’re taking this whole ‘she’s been three different people’ thing, I’m not super invested in that story yet. I feel like it would have been nice for her to just be a regular person/babysitter who wanted to go see the universe but idk we’ll see how her story turns out. Jenna Coleman’s decent enough I’m just not picking up any chemistry between her and Matt yet. I didn’t like Amy much at first eventually sort of warming up to her in S6, and right now I’m neutral on Clara so here’s to hoping I like her soon!
Honorable mention to Murray Gold/his soundtrack for carrying the episode

POSITIVES & NEGATIVES.
fill out & repost ♥ This meme definitely favors canons more, but I hope OCs still can make it somehow work with their own lore, and lil’ fandom of friends & mutuals. Multi-Muses pick the muse you are the most invested in atm.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
MUSE.
MY MUSE IS: canon / oc / au / slightly canon-divergent / fandomless / complicated. (headcanon heavy)
IS YOUR CHARACTER POPULAR IN THE FANDOM? YES / NO / IDK  / KINDA.
IS YOUR CHARACTER CONSIDERED HOT™ IN THE FANDOM? YES / NO / IDK / KINDA.
IS YOUR CHARACTER CONSIDERED STRONG IN THE FANDOM? YES / NO / IDK / KINDA.
ARE THEY UNDERRATED? YES / NO / IDK / KINDA.
WERE THEY RELEVANT FOR THE MAIN STORY? YES  / NO. 
WERE THEY RELEVANT FOR THE MAIN CHARACTER? YES / NO / THEY’RE THE PROTAG.
ARE THEY WIDELY KNOWN IN THEIR WORLD? YES / NO.
HOW’S THEIR REPUTATION? GOOD / BAD / NEUTRAL (kinda?? people think he's annoying)
HOW STRICTLY DO YOU FOLLOW CANON? 
I try to stick to canon as much as I can, but my Ivar is also pretty headcanon driven at times because canon doesn't give us a ton to work with. He's just such an interesting character to me. Just as interesting as Jude, but even more so since they're like two sides of the same coin. I try to take his views on Jude into account but also try to focus on a bit more than that. Like... boy has a one track mind, but there's more to him than just being hyper focused on Milla or Jude. You know?
SELL YOUR MUSE! Aka try to list everything, which makes your muse interesting in your opinion to make them spicy for your mutuals.
My lovely mutuals, I present to you one good boy chosen to be the handmaid of Milla Maxwell!
He's devoted, he's loyal, and he's willing to drop everything in the name of doing his duties. He is a beastcrafter, meaning he can communicate with animals! He dual wields daggers! He's funny!
He's also good with kids and animals. Could be a good babysitter (maybe). Also, he has cool sunglasses! What's not to like?
Also he's (maybe??) near unkillable to some degree? Boy lodged a piece of his own dagger into his head and survived.
Now the OPPOSITE, list everything why your muse could not be so interesting (even if you may not agree, what does the fandom perhaps think?).
Okay so let's get this out of the way. Ivar is a dingus supreme. That willingness to drop everything to fulfill his duties? The downside to that is that if he thinks his duty to protect Milla is more important than say, protecting Nia Khera, he will drop the latter in favor of the former. Much to the annoyance of anyone involved.
Ivar can be pretty intense when it comes to how he decides who he doesn't like. Sorry, Jude, but you're the best example here. Boyo was going to try and kill Jude because how dare Milla have someone else that she puts a lot of trust in instead of him. Boyo got so focused on fighting Jude that he allowed Milla to start crawling away to get to her destination on her own.
So, yeah, he's got a short temper. That can lead to him doing dumb things, especially if he thinks it will lead to him one upping someone he doesn't like.
Also, don't let him anywhere near guns. The fact he accidentally fired one while trying to teach Ludger how to use one should be all you need to know.
WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO RP YOUR MUSE?
I've always really liked Ivar as a character. As stated above, I love the fact that he and Jude basically are two sides of the same coin. The fandom thinks he's annoying and while I can at least see where they're coming from, I think there's a lot more to him than what the fandom sees. He's fascinating to me. I feel like he could have made an interesting addition to the party.
Mostly, though? I just wanted to give him some love. So I grabbed him as one of my many muses. Because he's my silly little guy.
WHAT KEEPS YOUR INSPIRATION GOING?
Just thinking about this dingus is enough sometimes. But also like?? Plotting and chatting with my friends is also a big help. Just having other Tales writers to bounce off of, especially other Xillia muse enjoyers, is just the ticket.
MUN.
DO YOU THINK YOU GIVE YOUR CHARACTER JUSTICE? YES / NO / KINDA.
DO YOU FREQUENTLY WRITE HEADCANONS? YES / NO / KINDA. (I really should write more headcanons!)
DO YOU SOMETIMES WRITE DRABBLES? YES / NO. (not for Ivar specifically, but that might change!)
DO YOU THINK A LOT ABOUT YOUR MUSE DURING THE DAY? YES / NO / KINDA.
ARE YOU CONFIDENT IN YOUR PORTRAYAL? YES / NO / KINDA.
ARE YOU CONFIDENT IN YOUR WRITING? YES / NO / KINDA.
ARE YOU A SENSITIVE PERSON? YES / NO / KINDA.
DO YOU ACCEPT CRITICISM WELL ABOUT YOUR PORTRAYAL? 
YES ABSOLUTELY. As long as it's not just 'Lol, your Ivar sucks' and doing nothing to elaborate on how I could improve, then by all means throw your critique at me!
DO YOU LIKE QUESTIONS, WHICH HELP YOU TO EXPLORE YOUR CHARACTER? 
YES, YES, YES!!
IF SOMEONE DISAGREES TO A HEADCANON OF YOURS, DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY? 
I mean, it depends on the headcanon. Like I headcanon Ivar is very distantly related to the Kresnik Clan based on tiny things I picked up on in my most recent playthrough of Xillia 2. Mostly just in relation to the Maxwell stuff. But I could see people seeing that headcanon and going 'Um?? No, that's dumb' and I would be fine with that. Different interpretations, it's all good.
Now if it was my headcanon that Ivar's got a forehead scar from the aforementioned dagger piece getting lodged in his head that people disagreed with, that would be something I'd like to hear about.
IF SOMEONE DISAGREES WITH YOUR PORTRAYAL, HOW WOULD YOU TAKE IT? 
I mean, honestly? There's always going to be people that don't like how people write canon characters. If someone disagrees with how I write Ivar? That's all good. So I wouldn't be too bothered.
It only would become an issue if someone disagreed with my portrayal and then like... proceeded to be nasty about it. You know?
IF SOMEONE REALLY HATES YOUR CHARACTER, HOW DO YOU TAKE IT?
So far I've not come across anyone who actively hates Ivar, which is good. But I know the fandom is pretty quick to call him annoying which, honestly, I could see as people just jumping to hating him because of how he's presented. Especially in Xillia 1. So if you hate Ivar? That's cool, man. Just let me enjoy my funny little dingus.
ARE YOU OKAY WITH PEOPLE POINTING OUT YOUR GRAMMATICAL ERRORS? 
YES. YES, PLEASE. That and spelling errors. I like to think I'm pretty thorough with checking my replies, but sometimes I'm not. Please feel free to point out errors. I'm not perfect.
DO YOU THINK YOU ARE EASY GOING AS A MUN?
I think so? For all I know, though, I could be wrong.

i really love the take that Hitoya is pretty emotionally stunted and that’s why he really connects well with Jyushi and Kuko. some people like to call him their dad figure but i’ve always (half-joking, half-serious) said he’s their babysitter. like someone who’s maybe not totally secure either, but at least older and thus wiser about the world. i don’t think he’s immature, but yeah i get a lot of “it’s alright, i’m 35 and i don’t know what i’m doing either” energy from him.
compared to Jakurai who has war trauma and literally adopted and effectively lost his own kid, Hitoya is (imo) a pretty neat example of a character who has less “shocking” or w/e you wanna call it trauma that has discombobulated him. death of a loved one and bullying are very overt trauma, but there’s something unique about how that type of trauma is contained to settings like the family unit, school, etc. It’s more pervasive and less shell-shock. If that makes sense. Hitoya and Jyushi both lost a caregiver / older loved one; Jakurai, a parent, lost his child. Different dynamics of maturity.
Jyushi is, of course, also coping with very similar trauma, but he’s only 19 and he has an older friend who’s been through that already to help steer him towards a more effective path of healing— which Hitoya only knows because he’s already made the mistakes, suffered alone, and built a whole new life path because of the devastating events in his past. He did it all on his own! How many years of study and hope (years of young adulthood!!) did he lose when he threw his original goals into the trash? And now here he is, a successful adult with a really illustrious career, but like. Has he really healed? idk.
i could probably make a case for Hitoya’s “he likes money” character quality being born of insecurity rather than greed or anything too tbh but the best contrast for that is Rei and we honestly don’t know what his real deal is so LOL we’ll postpone that idea
and i have similar feelings about Sasara and Rosho and how they navigate the emotional trauma of neglect but that’s a whole other post because i’m very invested in DH and could write a lot more in-depth meta about them lol
anyways that’s my thoughts on Hitoya since he keeps saying hi to me in ARB, cheers 🥃⚖️💜

I fixed Start-Up to my satisfaction
No one asked, but here’s how the fix-it fanfic would go for Start-Up if I had the energy to write that (I don’t and I already have too many works on the go):
1. This would be a total rewrite cause the writers clearly never intended to have Jipyeong and Dalmi end up together. Never giving him any real chance was a disservice to the love triangle and since it dragged on for so long, ultimately the characters. So the only way I would feel like I could make it work would be doing away with the triangle all together.
2. Forget the revenge plot, 2STO, Alex, and the time jump. None of that added to the story or moved it along. Ultimately, we could have done without.
3. If I don’t specifically mention something it’s cause I wouldn’t change it or I think it’s so inconsequential to even matter.
This got LONG, so it’s under the cut.
OK, so:
The first few eps go along the same way except for a few clear details: Jipyeong and InJae interact backstage at the panel they do at the beginning. They kind of seem to hate each other? But also a little flirty? Ms. Yoon is equal parts exasperated and entertained.
Leading up to the hackaton, the plot relatively stays the same, but after Dalmi discovers Dosan at Sandbox, Jipyeong, Dosan, and grandma start to realize the lie is going too far. Keeping up long term is never going to work. They all separately agonize about it, before coming together and agreeing that they have to tell the truth. A fun episode full of their almost-confessions ensues! It is humorous!! Light!! They are going to tell her!!
Dalmi is always a little skeptical. How come Jipyeong is *always* around? How come Dosan remembers *absolutely nothing*? Why did he lie to her about being successful, really? Why did Jipyeong help him? None of it makes sense.
Before they can find the right time to tell her, Dalmi outsmarts them. Following the hackaton, she’s messing with the handwriting software they developed, so proud of their work, and the day’s presentation. She picks up the presentation notes Jipyeong marked up and notices the handwriting looks familiar. She compares it to a letter and runs it through the software. It’s a match.
She brings the letter and the presentation to Dosan and asks him for an explanation. He comes clean; Jipyeong was the one who wrote the letters and asked for his help, but he himself was so taken with her that he wanted to keep getting to know her, even under false pretenses.
Dalmi is devastated. She has no idea who this stranger is and now she works with him? She blows up at grandma, couldn’t believe that she would lie to her for all these years and let her humiliate herself.
Once Dalmi has calmed down, grandma talks to her. Explains that she wanted to help her when she was young cause she was so lonely. Explains about Jipyeong, explains that he was young and lonely too. She didn’t expect it to go this long. She just wanted to give her something back after all that pain.
The next day, Jipyeong talks to Dalmi. He explains that he has been indebited to her grandma and has tried to find them. He says that he had no friends then and her letters were his only comfort. He tells her about growing up an orphan and how her grandma took him in. Dalmi starts to fall for him; he’s he first love, the one she has been looking for all along, and he is finally here, and has been through so much.
Only problem? Jipyeong kind of views her as a sister.
Her actual sister though? Continues to infuriate him. He still volunteers to be Samsan Tech’s mentor and the way she keeps messing with them is driving him insane. He’s still tough as hell, but invested in being a mentor. He doesn’t understand why she can’t let it be? They bicker at every opportunity.
Dalmi told Dosan that they’ll have to continue to work together, but she is wary of him now. What parts of him that she knew were real? What part was fabricated? Now that she knows who her real first love is, she wants to focus on that.
Dosan is disappointed, but understanding. He finds out about grandma in the same way and decides to make the code for Noongil in secret. He still cares for Dalmi and hopes she can grow to learn to care about his true self.
Dalmi finds out about grandma from grandma. Idk how but she does.
Dalmi, in a fit of sadness, goes to Jipyeong at his apartment for comfort, and tells him about her grandma. He is devastated. Together, they drink the night away, laughing and crying, talking about their past. Dalmi tries to make a move, but Jipyeong rejects her, saying she is drunk. She says she isn’t and she loves him. He lets her sleep it off. The next morning, she doesn’t remember anything, and Jipyeong has no idea what he is going to do now cause he doesn’t want to hurt Dalmi.
The next day, he sees InJae at work. She asks him why he seems so upset and he doesn’t know how to reply. She says it must be something stupid her sister did again. He explodes and they fight; he doesn’t understand how she can just abandon her family like that, she doesn’t understand why he cares so much. He tells her to go visit her grandma. InJae is confused.
InJae goes and visits grandma and finds out she is going blind. She is devastated; she hasn’t seen her for years and now it feels like she had wasted them all. She ends up going to Jipyeong’s and breaking down, standing in his doorway crying saying she’s never known how to reconcile with her grandma and sister after all these years and now it might be too late. Jipyeong hugs her in the hallway as she cries on his shoulder.
Unfortunately, down the hall is Dalmi, witnessing the whole thing. She had come by to surprise Jipyeong with dinner and to ask him some questions before demo day. She is heartbroken - Jipyeong and her sister?! - and flees.
Right before demo day, where the team is going to present their handwriting software, Samsan Tech is hit with a ransom ware attack. The twins were at it, obvs, and no one knows what to do. Yongsan says they need to call Jipyeong but Chulsan tells him no, they can figure it out on their own. The two Sans look to Dalmi to make the call. Still upset about what she saw a few days prior, she says not to call him.
It blows up in their faces. They were unable to stop the ransomware attack and their data was erased. They have nothing, with a mere 72 hours before demo day.
Jipyeong is livid. He can’t believe they didn’t call him. Samsan Tech fights back, saying that he never believed in them anyway. He’s so harsh and never supportive. Jipyeong realizes he hasn’t been the best mentor.
InJae goes to visit Dalmi. She heard about the ransomware attack and wants to make sure she’s okay. Dalmi admits that she was foolish, not willing to let Jipyeong help cause of her personal feelings. She doesn’t think she deserves to be a CEO. Injae asks if she likes Jipyeong and Dalmi nods, embarrassed, and says she is pretty sure he likes someone else. Injae is clueless and says whoever that is must be an unlucky fool. She responds with her own stories of failure in her first few years as a CEO. The sisters smile; the cracks in their relationship are still there, but starting to close.
Getting ready to pack things up and leave, Dosan is backing up his files one more time. One of the Sans sees the code over his shoulder? What’s this for? He asks. Dosan tries to hide it; it’s the code for Noongil. The team prods at him and he pitches the idea. Wait, this might be something.
Jipyeong doesn’t love the idea; it’s not profitable, they would have to secure CSR investors in like, a day to make it to demo day. But he knows it will help grandma. He agrees to help them make it happen.
Cue montage of them trying to put together a pitch just in time! All nighters! Grandma brings hot dogs! Sleeping in weird positions! But they gotta do it!! They gotta stay in the game!!
It’s the middle of the night, only Dalmi and Dosan are awake, still working; everyone else is taking a nap. Dalmi asks where he got the idea for the app and he confesses it was her grandma. Dalmi is touched. Maybe there is more to him than she thought.
Jipyeong, sleep deprived, runs into Injae the morning of demo day. Things are awkward between them since their hallway encounter. She notices that he looks tired and asks to get coffee. Over 1+1 lattes, she asks how things are going with her sister’s company. He says he thinks they might pull through. She asks if he likes Dalmi and that’s why he’s putting so much effort in. Jipyeong says that she is very dear to him and very important, but not in the way she’s implying. They exchange a look and awkwardly glance away. Jipyeong muses that it was strange that someone was able to hack into the Sandbox servers to get the code; whoever it was must have had working knowledge of Sandbox’s set up. Injae thinks to herself, reflecting on the twins recent weird behavior. Something clicks; she runs off. She has to fire the twins.
Demo day happens. It goes well! They secure a modest investment that will keep them up and running for a couple of years. Everyone is so excited!! Quietly, in the hallway after, Dalmi confesses to Dosan that she is thankful for him. He is bashful in response. It’s cute!
Samsan Tech continues to work closely together. Jipyeong mentors them, like an exasperated babysitter, but you can tell he likes it. Dosan and Dalmi continue to grow closer together, running into each other on the bus and working late, having a bunch of meet cutes.
Meanwhile, Jipyeong goes over to see grandma and Injae is already there. He’s surprised to see her; she’s a little dressed down, making food with her mom. He’s never seen her like this. Grandma asks him to stay for dinner.
Dosan and Dalmi work late one night. No one else is around. They end up talking about their perspective dreams. Dosan says he’s not sure what his is anymore, but he thinks that working on Noongil and with Dalmi and the team will help him find it. Dalmi’s heart flutters.
Meanwhile, Jipyeong and Injae are doing the dishes after dinner. They talk about their pasts; how Injae has felt alone since she left her family, how much she regrets it. He says he has felt alone his whole life. A moment passes between them, as they look at each other. Grandma interupts. They jump.
Dalmi wakes up the next day and looks at the Follow Your Dream ball. She realizes that she can’t stop thinking about Dosan; somewhere along the way, he’s replaced Jipyeong in her mind. She likes how considerate he is of others, how he smiles with his eyes, and how he has a sweet boyish charm. She realizes she might be falling for him.
At Sandbox that day, the news comes out; the twins have gone to Morning Group and are launching a competitor product to Noongil and this time, with a huge financial backing. Everyone is devastated.
Injae comes to see Dalmi about it and they fight; Dalmi says that this must have been Injae’s plan all along. Injae insists it wasn’t and that Dalmi is always looking to blame someone other than face the facts. She leaves, angry.
The team asks Jipyeong if there is any hope of continuing. He admits that it is unlikely they will surpass a product with a heavy backing and corporate support. They lash out at him, saying again that he never supports them. He counters that they only listen to him when he says things they want to hear and they’ll never be successful at that rate.
Saha says they might as well disband. This is hopeless, two strikes against them. The two Sans agree. Dosan says they should consider trying and looks to Dalmi for support. She tearfully disagrees.
They decide it’s over.
Dosan goes to visit Dalmi. They talk about dreams again. Now that it has been taken from them, Dosan knows what his is. He wants to make AI that will help people. He wants to make people’s lives better. Dalmi is overwhelmed and kisses him.
Injae is in her office, cleaning up files, when she notices something saved on an encrypted, secure doc on the server. She goes inside and sure enough; it’s all of the code to hack into Sandbox and Samsan Tech’s servers. She immediately calls the police.
The twins and Morning Group are charged for whatever charged you get when you conduct a ransomware attack. Idk I am not Googling it!!! Their investors pull out - Noongil is saved!!!
Jipyeong goes to Injae; he knows this was her doing. He thanks her. She says she is starting to understand why he cares so much, about family. They kiss.
Dalmi and Dosan stand outside a large skyscraper. They are going to go inside to pitch their business to a huge investor, Jipyeong had made them practice over and over again. They know there is a small chance they will get it, but they are going to try again. They take each other’s hand and walk towards the building.
EPILOGUE; time jump of three years later!!!!
Samsan Tech has created a huge amount of AI software for a variety of disabilities and has their own offices. Yay!
Dosan and Dalmi get married; Injae at her side, the two Sans by his. In the first aisle sits Jipyeong next to grandma, he and Injae’s baby on his lap. Cute!!!
Grandma has a hot dog stand again, cause Dalmi, Injae, and Jipyeong pitched in to help her buy it. Everyone helps out on the weekends and they hang out there with her mom, Jipyeong and Injae’s baby running around, like HAPPY FAMILY TIMES.
THERE I FIXED IT TO MY SATISFACTION

Title: Guys Like You
Chapter: 2
Chapter Summary: Cat’s out of the bag now
Rating: 18+ for later chapters
Warning: None for this chapter... maybe some swear words, idk
Prologue Chapter 1
Ever had a bad day? Like, a really, really bad day? Just... one thing goes wrong, and then everything else gets progressively worse from there? Then, just when you think you've finally reached rock bottom for the day and gotten a handle on it, it somehow manages to get even worse?
Well, that was the current situation Faye found herself in. Absolutely everything had gone wrong that morning and now she found herself in a bit of a pickle as she rushed about the, thankfully empty, makeup trailer.
"Just, sit here and watch your tablet, ok?" Faye instructed, sitting the toddler down on a stool tucked back in a hidden corner, praying this would work.  If it didn't, she had no clue what she was going to do.
She rushed back to the chair just as Henry squeezed his massive frame through the tiny door, flashing her a blinding smile as Kal pushed his way in past his legs to settle in his favorite, sunny spot by the door. "There's my favorite artist!"
"Oh, you're such a liar." Faye laughed, leaning into his welcoming hug and giving him a quick squeeze around his midsection, breathing him in when her head pressed into his chest.  Smelling that good should be against the law.
"I would never lie to you." Henry assured, playfully bumping her with his shoulder as he seated himself in his usual chair.
It seemed everything was getting better, things were finally turning around and going well, she was actually going to pull this off! She had already applied the prosthetics, so the hard part was already done with. With a sigh of relief, Faye turned back around to get the foundation ready to blend over the fake scars when she heard it.
"Oh, hello there." Her stomach dropped.
"Hi, I'm Briar!" The little girl greeted enthusiastically, beaming up at the large man sitting in the makeup chair.
"What are you doing here?" Henry asked gently.
"Tablet not working." Briar whimpered, holding the device up despondently, her lower lip sliding out in a pout as tears began collecting in her eyes. Always the drama queen.
"Then let's take a look at it, shall we?" Henry suggested, absently lifting the girl and sitting her on his knee to examine the tablet in her chubby little hands. Faye could swear her heart was going to beat right out of her chest as she watched him tapping away at the screen, the sounds of cocomelon soon spilling from the speakers again, much to the child's delight.
"Yay! Cocomelon, cocomelon!" The little girl cheered, fixing her eyes on the screen.
"Now, sweetheart, where's your mother?" Henry asked, his brows drawn together as he looked at the little girl already mesmerized by the show in front of her.
"That's Mama." Briar quickly explained, pointing directly at Faye before diverting her attention back to her tablet. Henry's brows rose almost comically high as he looked up at Faye, waiting for confirmation of what he was just told. Faye had a daughter? He'd known her for months, how was this just now coming up?
"I... I'm so sorry." Faye quickly apologized, panic beginning to rise in her throat. This was bad, so very bad. Not only did she look like the world's most unprofessional makeup artist, but she was probably in the running for worst mother as well. Who just leaves their kid in the corner while they work? "The babysitter called and canceled this morning and I couldn't find a replacement before work. I thought if she had her tablet she would be quiet and out of everyone's way for the day, but then it stopped working and-"
"Faye. Faye!" Henry interrupted, pausing to make sure she was paying attention. "I need you to calm down. Everything is ok. Things come up, it's not a big deal." He assured, his voice taking on a soothing tone. "Sweetheart, do you like dogs?" Henry asked, turning his attention back to the little girl as she nodded enthusiastically. "Well, you see that dog over there?" He asked, nodding towards a snoozing Kal. "He's mine, and he just loves pets."
"I pet him?" Briar gasped excitedly, passing her tablet off to Henry and squirming out of his lap to scurry over to the sleeping bear, patting him on the top of his head with a clumsy little hand.
"That should keep them both busy enough for us to finish up here." Henry pointed out, settling back into the chair as though nothing had happened. Faye glanced between her daughter, cooing over the bear of a dog by the door and back to Henry a few times, her mind trying to catch up and process what just happened. She shook her head once to clear her thoughts and shakily returned to work, glancing over to the toddler every so often out of habit.
"So were you going to tell me you had a daughter?" Henry finally asked, raising a brow at the woman painting his face.
"I-... It never came up." Faye mumbled, looking back to her daughter as she curled up into the dog's side, babbling away to him about the bedtime story she'd been read last night.
"But why would you hide that?"
"I don't know." Faye lied, focusing her efforts closer to his mouth to end the conversation. Of course she had a reason. A rather simple one at that.
Guys like him aren't interested in single mothers.
Sure, it was a bit silly looking back on it. After all, what chance did she have with Henry? A slim one, if any. That still didn't stop her from hoping he may see something in her. Of course if he did show any interest, she would have eventually told him. Having a child isn't exactly something you can hide, after all. However, she had been hoping to wait until he was more invested in her than just being "his favorite artist".
Too little, too late.
"How old is she?" Henry asked once the brushes moved away from his mouth.
"She'll be three next week." Faye informed quietly, keeping her gaze averted.
"Next week? Do you plan on celebrating?"
"Not really.  All my family is back home in the states.  I was just planning on making her a cake or something, but I'm kind of a crap baker, so I'm on the fence about even doing that."
"I hope you don't mind my asking, but what about her father? Is he going to celebrate with you?"
"No." Faye answered simply, biting her lip and trying not to dwell on the past any more than she had to.
"So exactly how bad are you at baking?" Henry changed the subject, closing his eye as she worked around it.
"Briar, do you like mommy's cakes?"
"No!" Briar quickly answered, Kal's head popping up at the sudden outburst.
"Why not, sweetie?" Faye pressed.
"They're yucky! Bleck!"
"Does that answer your question?" Faye retorted, raising a brow at the man in front of her.
"Would you like help?"
"What?"
"Making a cake. I could help you." Henry offered, locking his eyes on hers.
"You bake?" Faye blurted out, wincing at her sudden outburst as Henry laughed.
"In fact I do. I have a few days off from filming next weekend. If you'd like, I could come over and help you make her a birthday cake."
Was this real life? This couldn't be real life. In real life, handsome men don't just swoop in and offer to make a cake for your daughter. This was some elaborate dream.  Or a very drawn out strip-o-gram.
"I mean... that would be great, but-"
"Perfect, what day works best for you, Friday or Saturday?"
"Uhh... Saturay, I work on Friday."
"Alright, I'll give you my number so you can text me your address. Ten in the morning alright?"
"Yeah, umm... she naps around eleven, so ten is fine."
"So ten on Friday." Henry confirmed as he stood, pulling her in for another hug.
What. Just. Happened?

How many AUs do you have? (And can you tell what they all are?😅😁)
I have 10 Au's so far so here they are with a bit of info in no particular order
1. kidnapped kai au
ok so in this au kai unlocks his elemental powers before he met Wu causing garmadon to take an interest in him and so kai was the one who was kidnapped instead of nya and nya has to get kai back -she also joins the ninja team from the start and is told about her parents and their powers
I have fanfictuon out about this -just search the kidnapped kai au tag but im taking a break from updating so that I can plan it out more and have an outline
2. is my bnha crossover au
so this morro, garmadon and harumi get reincarnated into the bnha verse
morro becomes the adopted older brother of the main character midoriya
harumi becomes the twin of this crazy rich inventory girl
and garmadon becomes a theripist
they all basically help the main character achieve his end goal of becoming the no.1 hero without a superpower -idk if you watch bnha but basically 80% of the people there have a power called a quirk and the main character is a part of the 20% that don't)
Im also making an outline for this one so I might write it out sometime next Yearo making an outline for this one so I might write it out sometime next Year
3. hybrid smith siblings au
basically ray is a demon and maya is an angel they fell in love and were kicked out of their homes and hurled to earth -they use magic to keep their appearance hidden and nonbody knows
-until kai starts growing wings and horns
-nya grows them too but it starts at a certain age so at the start the focus is mostly on kai
I don't have much for this au besides its polyninja lol
I just think that jay would help with sensory overloads since Kai's senses inhance and also his wings are very sensitive
and zane would help kai with feeling different
and Cole is just the rock that knows what to say to ground him
thats literally all I have for this au
4. polyninja fam au
ok so in this au the ninja -who are all dating- get tired of saving ninja go and quit and run away -taking lloyd with them and adopting him ofc
-they also steal some yesterday's tea and turn lloyd back Into a kid so he can have the life head supposed to
-so first they live in the old lighthouse zanes dad was trapped in since its self sustaining -which is where they find echo who they also adopt
then slowly they each get jobs
-cole becomes a comic book artist/author
-kai and lloyd make video games (they also have cole make comics for said video games
-zane becomes a chef (who donates half his profits to orphanages)
-and jay works for cyrus borg
we also have polyponytail:
-nya and pixal help skylor out at the noodle shop
-they mostly help by making invitations to help with everything
-but if it's real busy they help in the restaurant
dareth and ronin are also dating and pretty much lloyd and echos uncles
-ronin uses them as a distraction to steal stuff though
-dareth is good at making up weird games
-they are good babysitters
-sorta
also brad and gene become good friends with lloyd and echo
5. highschool au -this is also polyninja-
this was made with @/stranger mask @/lloyd-garma-gun and @/superstar-rockin-abs
basically the ninja are in highschool but
pastel goth zane
jock jay
nerd kai
vintage cole
polyponytail met in chess club
polyamory with lloyd gene and brad and they are all cheer leaders
halfway checkpoint
6. nindroid jay au
jay is one of the older prototypes that dr.Julian made and dumped
years later Ed and edna find him and repair him
since his parents are inventors he basically adds a bunch of things to himself -like retractable wings and stuff
Zane and him feel a weird connection but neither of them remember their creator until tick-tock -this is all I have for this au
7. paranormal YouTubers au
this is an au im making for @/wojira and if u want more details u should probably ask her -I'll also tag u in the og post about this au if you ask
basically the ninja are collage sstudents who started a YouTube channel where they invest haunted places as a joke but they become super popular -again more details in the original post if you ask-
8. manipulative morro au
me and @/thebluelittlewitch2-thesequel made this but @/superstar-rockin-abs and @/grembeak gave hs the idea i think
basically lloyd didn't get hit by tomorrows tea so instead of possessing lloyd morro manipulates him into doing things for him by saying that lloyd gone crazy and the only way for 'the voicemail' -aka morro- to go away is for him to do certain things
harumi later teams up with morro for a second try on revenge andalso becomes more of a mother figure to lloyd then a lover -lloyd is a bit younger then her in this au
she uses her powers to start an orphanage but really its a place for her to train and raise a cult of parentless children that they are orphans because of lloyd and that if they follow her they can all have revenge
her code name is changed respectively to 'mother lullaby' and morro's is 'toxic wind'
9. evil ed and edna au
basically Ed and edna are evil assasins/ inventors who become obsessed with making the ultimate weapon
they basically turn jay into a hydra experiment -training him and experimenting on him over and over and over-
but eventually they decide that he is a failed experiment and abandon him -at this point he looks far from human
but kai and nya find him and take him in -he is a year older then nya so nya is ten hes eleven and kai is 13-
at first jay thinks he was kiddnaped but there is no way these kids could have so then he thinks that him being there is another test and he has to figure out what it is but eventually he figures out he was abandoned
he helps the smith siblings by inviting things that help them around the house -and also making toys for nya and kai-
they become a small family
10. thiccjago
just look at the @lord-garmabooty-official blog...that's all you need to know
whew that took way too long but here ya go!!!h

So Boston Brand aka Deadman used to be a trapeze artist before he died, right? And its canon that he knew the Graysons in various continuities and universes. And I don’t know when he died compared to when the Graysons died but by the magic of mumble mumble handwave alakazam magic kazoo, I hereby deem it irrelevant.
The point is, imagine Boston is already dead and Deadman when the Graysons die, but he hears about it and he and John used to be tight and he remembers Dick from when he was a wee little Dickiebird, so he makes a point to check in on Dick every now and then. 
And Dick, being a smarty pants even when he’s wearing a leotard, eventually picks up on the fact that these random strangers who pop up to help him out every now and then or randomly engage him in conversation about how he’s doing, etc, Wayne treating him alright, like....they’re the same person and eventually Boston says something particularly telling and Dick squints at him and is like...”Uncle Boz?”
Basically, the point is, imagine Dick Grayson coming to live with Bruce and every now and then cheerfully referencing a conversation he had with his Uncle Boz, and Bruce and Alfred exchange glances and then are like, TO THE BATCAVE! so Bruce can....google stuff, but nope, Dick definitely doesn’t have an Uncle Boz as far as he can tell, and Boston’s kinda vague on the whole ‘whats with the possessing people thing tho and arent u dead’ because idk, he just doesnt really want to get into debates on the finer points of mortality and the afterlife with a recently bereaved ten year old who probably wants to know why he could stick around but his parents couldn’t, plus Boston knows Bruce is Batman and like, even Deadman is wary of Batman so he’s just like.....leeeeeeeet’s not loop the big guy in on this, it’ll be our little secret.
So Dick grows up with a part time babysitter who’s actually his dead ghost superhero uncle and that everybody else thinks is his imaginary friend he named Uncle Boz, and eventually Dick of course does put two and two together when he learns of Deadman’s existence and is like ohhhhh see now that explains a lot.
And then one day years later, like, there’s some big superhero shindig that has all kinds of superheroes working together, including those that normally don’t cross paths, and the whole Batfamily is there, and people are looking for Dick to weigh in next, as leader of the Titans and responsible for their portion of the plan or mission or whatever. And so he gets into it Powerpoint Presentation style and then in the middle of it, he just casually mentions some intel “Uncle Boz mentioned when I ran into him yesterday”....and there’s like dead silence. And he stops and looks around, confused, and he’s like....what?
And Beast Boy raises his hand like he’s in school because its just that awkward and also because Vic shoved him forward to volunteer him as tribute, because the Titans are all leaning in and very invested in this question, because ummm...
And then Gar just bursts out with it like “Okay but since when do you have an Uncle Boz and why didn’t we know you had an Uncle like what the hell dude?”
And then Clark looks at Bruce, confused and is all “Uncle Boz? Wasn’t that the name of Dick’s imaginary friend?”
And then Dick looks at Bruce and Clark, also confused, like “Uh...I’ve never had an imaginary friend in my life? What imaginary friend?”
And then Bruce looks at Dick, accusingly, because he definitely did not make up all those times Dick came skipping down to breakfast chirping offhandedly about something something Uncle Boz something something. Because who could forget Alfred giving Bruce the Batbutler-Glare when Bruce tried to follow up on that with literal interrogation techniques and thus making Bruce instead slouch in his chair and let the moment pass without ever asking for more details, which meant it never really occurred to Dick over the years that Bruce had a LOT of questions and thoughts about this whole Uncle Boz thing. Because normally any time Bruce wants to be looped in on something, he’s nothing BUT questions, so it was only by the grace of Alfred and his ‘let the lad have his comforts, Master Bruce, seeking solace in an imaginary friend is hardly the worst way he could channel his grief, why, I daresay its certainly preferable to catching him growling into the mirror and practicing his I Am The Night monologue...”
Ahem. Point being, Bruce is VERY clear that there was an imaginary friend named Uncle Boz at one point, and that Dick literally just brought him up right now, in front of everyone, so what does he mean he never had an imaginary friend, he totally did and Bruce totally angsted to Clark about it and now Dick’s acting like Bruce just made that up and he’s totally making him look bad in front of his friends, ugggggh.
Bruce: “Your Uncle Boz? Your imaginary friend from when you were younger?”
Dick, slowly, and still with great confusion: “Umm, yes? I know who we’re talking about, I just don’t know where you got the idea that he was imaginary? Uncle Boz. Boston Brand. Used to be a trapeze artist, was a friend of my parents, then he died, now known as Deadman? Part time superhero, full time spirit? You literally have a file on him on the Batcomputer?
Bruce: Wait. Uncle Boz is Boston Brand? Deadman is your uncle?
Dick: Well, honorary, like the same way Uncle C’s my uncle, but uh...yeah?
Dick looks around the room at the mingled faces of confusion and slowly dawning understanding, finally realizing the problem. Diana’s just nodding with her eyes closed, one of those ‘ohhhh this explains so much about that thing that’s been bugging me for a decade and a half’ kinda things.
Dick, rubbing the back of his head, sheepish: Uh, did I never get around to clarifying that? Cuz I could’ve sworn I did, but upon second thought, those uh....last five years of childhood or whatever were kinda chaotic and a couple of things might’ve slipped through the cracks here and there. Ooops.

hey idk if u take prompts but maybe a deke fic with angst and fitzsimmons?
Deke still flinches whenever someone reaches for his wrist, recoils when someone touches him. It's impossible to sneak up on him, he'll hear them before they get close. He always has a gun, or at least a knife, on him or near him.
He catches Sequoias hand whenever it gets too close to the bullet wound. He checks every window and door to make sure they're all locked multiple times before he even thinks of sleeping. He even cuts his own hair because he doesn't trust anyone with anything sharp that close to his neck.
A lifetime of paranoia doesn't go away in one year.
And sometimes, that paranoia can save his life.
He knows when he's being watched, when he's being followed. The person shoving him into an alley will be left on the ground with a broken wrist while Deke runs. An intern spending too much time in an important area will be invested.
And the man in his office that looks like Coulson is definitely not Coulson.
Nobody in SHIELD would pull a knife on him (and then hide it in such an obvious way), no matter how much they don't like him.
Trevor's a SHIELD agent. With scathing accusations, but Deke couldn't afford to be hurt at the moment, he had to get everyone out of the building.
Sequoias dramatic, "who are you?!" did hurt. Not as much as the stab wound, but it stuck in his chest along with Trevor's words.
So now Deke was back in the Lighthouse, his girlfriend left him for his best friend, the same best friend turned out to be a hired babysitter, and he had to give a sum of his company to Mack for an embarrassing reason.
At least he still had his family. And Daisy.
"And, Jordan- I mean, like, are you kidding me?" Oh, God, Deke was talking about his stupid shoes to Daisy, who wasn't even looking up from her important tablet. But he couldn't stop talking. "Like, what a guy."
"I mean, you know who Jordan is, right?" Daisy's back was still to him.
Deke panicked. He did not know. But he wasn't going to let years of bullshitting his way through Kree go to waste now.
He scoffed, "Do I know- he changes everything, he's a revolutionary." So far, so good. "'Cause he . . . invented shoes."
He knew it was the wrong answer as soon as he said it. Daisy's little, "yeah," as she started to walk away was evidence.
He quickly stood up and suppressed a wince to follow her, talking about some bullshit about innovation or another. Saying he was similar to this Jordan guy for some reason.
He's bragging about how rich he is, now. And he's too far in to stop, and he just called her silly, and he just referred to himself in the third person he should really stop.
He changes the subject as quickly as possible, asking about space and his grandparents and what they did.
"- and grandma and grandpa are still in space, so that's cool." He's smiling so she doesn't pick up on his embarrassment.
Daisy's expression changes, and she looks at him fully for the first time in the whole conversation. "What have you been told?"
Dekes smile falters. "Well, Mack is pretty cagey with the details. You know, the director and his secrets." The smile is back up to where it was before. "So, fill me in."
Her face is relieved and sad, and she sighs. "I mean, it's a long story, but the detail that counts is that; we found him." She wasn't looking at him anymore. "We found Fitz, so . . ."
Dekes face contorted in confusion when she trailed off. "'Found Fitz'? What are you talking about?"
There was something in his chest, making his heart beat faster and his breathing hitch. Maybe Piper and Mack accidentaly left the bullet in him and it was acting up. It better be acting up because it hurt.
But Deke knew this feeling. He felt it when the Kree came to kill his mother. He felt it when he saw the white rock on the Zephyr in the future. And now he's feeling it while talking about the only family he has left.
Daisy looking at him with pity. Pity is never good. She took a deep breath and sat down across from him.
"You left right before the big fight against Talbot." It was a statement of a fact, not an accusation, which Deke was thankful for.
"I saw you on the news, you did good." Dekes mouth twitched into a smile for a moment before the serious expression came back.
Daisy grimaced. "Robin and her mom were in a spaceship, and Fitz, Mack, and May went to go get them." Her voice shook slightly, which is not like her at all.
The crushing dread was growing with every moment. Deke knew what was coming, but he couldn't believe it. He needed to hear it, no matter how much it hurt.
"The-" Daisy had to steady her breath. "The spaceship had crashed through a building, and they were all on their way out when . . ." She looked away from him. "The roof fell in and Fitz was . . ."
Deke still hadn't heard the words. He needed to hear the words.
"What happened." His mouth was dry and his eyes were wet and his chest was still hurting.
Daisy looked at t him again. His eyes were hard and desperate.
"Fitz died." Her voice was so quiet, he almost missed it.
Those were the words. Died.
Deke couldn't hear anything after that. He blinked and felt the tears on his face, he gasped and sobbed and grabbed at his hair with tight fists.
And now he's on the floor and Daisy is on the floor with him, trying to calm him down. But he can't calm down. He's hurt.
Daisy's saying things about how it was quick and he wasn't alone and he didn't feel it and it's okay because we found him but it doesn't matter. She tried explaining the science but Deke already knew the science.
He still died. And for a year, nobody thought to tell him. Even the Kree told family members when someone died.
It all made sense now. Deke tried to reach out at Christmas, when he was feeling happy for the first time in a while, to celebrate with his family. Nobody at the Lighthouse would give him a straight answer, just tell him that Simmons and Fitz were in space and couldn't talk.
Daisy was hugging him and rubbing his back while he cried into her shoulder. He couldn't breathe.
The grief and the hurt mixed together down in his gut and left a horrible feeling of rage all around his body.
Deke stood up, wiped his face dry and turned to leave. Daisy tried to grab his arm but he pushed her away and stalked down into the base. The walls were lighter but it was still the horrid bunker he grew up in. Daisy called after him but all he could hear was the blood rushing through his ears.
Deke found Mack in the lab with May.
"Why didn't you tell me?" His voice was raw and the tears were still coming. Mack said something and May walked away and Deke took her place by the table. "Fitz died?! He died, and no one was gonna bother to, I don't know, send me a text?"
Mack's voice was calm, the bastard. "It was complicated-"
"Yeah, no kidding!" Deke said something about his multiverse but he didn't care about it. He cared that one of his only living relatives had died.
Mack tried to give Deke leaving as an excuse for not telling him, something about commitment. He tries to appeal to Dekes ego to have him help them.
"It doesn't matter that I left!" Deke yelled, the tears didn't seem to stop. "He's my family! And nobody has the decency to tell me?" His breathing was ragged. "I know nobody likes me here, but even the Kree would tell you if someone in your family died!"
Mack finally shut up and was staring at Deke, everyone in the lab was staring. He snatched the tablet out of Mack's hand and stormed out of the lab. He'd help, but he wouldn't be happy about it.
His room was untouched. The books and food were all left where they were, and a layer of dust covered everything. He tossed the tablet onto his bed and stood there for a moment.
Deke stumbled to the corner and sat down, his breath still stuttering and his tears still flowing. He felt twelve years old again, crying in his room after losing his father for the first time.
Pain flared down on his abdomen. He gasped and looked, there was blood seeping down to the hem of his shirt.
Oh, he tore the stitches.
But no matter how much the stab wound hurt, it would always be drowned out by the aches in his chest that seemed to last a lifetime.

Cheerleader (Steve Harrington x Reader)
Summary: Steve asks the reader out after a successful basketball game, but he needed some help first.
Request?: Yep! “I know you haven’t posted writing in a while but I really liked loved and was wondering if you could write something about Steve dating a cheerleader? I feel like you have really good characterization of the kids and stuff so can you please put them in the story too? Thanks”
Word Count: 2076
A/N: Oh man! I really love this request, and you’re totally right, I haven’t posted writing in a while! I don’t know what to say because there’s no excuse except the fact that I’m lazy and I’m really sorry. I did get a lot of inspiration from this ask though, so thank you anon! I can’t promise this will accurately represent all cheerleaders as I only know my own experience (I cheered for seven years, only one of them was in high school, and I quit because I could not stand the girls on my high school cheer squad), but I hope you’ll enjoy it anyways.
Warnings: Nothing really? A few curse words maybe? I accidentally referenced High School Musical but like ? Idk nothing too bad.
It took all of Steve’s courage to ask you out when he did. He and Nancy had broken up not too long ago, he was still struggling with trying to understand the Upside Down and Eleven, and he hadn’t really gotten back on top of his basketball game yet. He knew he wasn’t “King Steve” anymore. I mean, he hadn’t truly held that title in a long time, but without Nancy by his side he finally realized the truth. So yeah, it took a lot of courage to ask you out.
But he knew he had to. There was no way he was going to let someone like you walk out of his life without at least attempting to ask you out. You were, for lack of a better word, perfect. I mean, you weren’t necessarily queen bee or anything, but not because you couldn’t be, you just didn’t want to be. You were happy spending your days going to school, to cheer practice, and straight back home to do homework. You only really went to games because you had to, and you didn’t actually enjoy the presence of the other girls on your cheer squad that much. You stuck around because the team needed a leader and you knew that you had to be that if you wanted to get anywhere with your cheerleading.
He always knew he was attracted to you, tangentially, I mean, who wouldn't be? But he never knew just how attracted to you he actually was until he came back from the Upside Down fiasco and he could hardly pass the ball to a teammate. You were still there though, on the sidelines cheering for him.
Well, you were cheering for the whole team, but he could tell from the encouraging smiles you were sending him and the random ruffles of your pom-poms paired with a shout of his jersey number that nobody else was receiving, that you were really cheering for him.
This game also happened to be the first one the kids went to. That may have had something to do with why he was so off his game. The kids he had spent so much time and energy protecting were in the crowd and he wasn't able to focus because the little shitheads wouldn't stop shouting when he was attempting to focus on the game. (Normally that wouldn't be an issue as basketball games tended to get loud, however, he had spent so much time training himself to know that shouts from those kids either meant trouble or danger that the slightest yelp or gasp from one of their mouths sent him into a panic.)
"Come on Harrington! Get your head in the game!" you shouted, dropping your perky cheerleader persona for a minute to give actual advice when he turned his head to stare off at the crowd again. "Keep your eye on the ball, not in the crowd," you added before mumbling a quick "dumbass" under your breath. The girls around you eyed you questioningly, but you rolled your eyes, shrugged your shoulders, and called set for the next cheer. Facing the crowd, you called "Ready!" and began the cheer, but you couldn't help but notice the gaze of some middle schoolers staring at you from the end of the bleachers. You were obviously used to the attention, however, they were staring at you so intently that the questioning looks in their eyes threw you off guard and you almost messed up the cheer. You quickly plastered the smile back on your face, finished the cheer, and called for a quick water break.
As you sipped from the water bottle, you turned back to the game. Steve seemed more focused than he was before yet he still wasn’t doing great, and you smiled to yourself, secretly hoping you were at least some of the cause of that. You knew Steve was someone you wanted to get to know, but you also knew he wasn’t someone you could get to know. “King Steve” may have been gone, but it was still Steve Harrington, you didn’t stand a chance. You were the nerd who just happened to be the cheer captain, even without Tommy and Carol he was still better than you. At least that’s what you thought. Everyone at Hawkins High knew that you could get anybody you wanted, but how would you know that?
As you returned to the sidelines of the game you noticed there was just enough time to call one more cheer before halftime without interrupting important parts of the game, so you called out a popular one to get the people in the crowd ready for the halftime performance.
Once the court cleared up, all of the players heading to their respective team rooms, you took your place, alongside the other cheerleaders, in the center. After the brief performance, the crowd went back to doing their own thing and you rushed to get a few things done before halftime was over. Before you could get to that however, you were stopped by the group of kids you had seen earlier.
There were six in total, four guys and two girls. You recognized four of them, Mike Wheeler, Nancy’s little brother, Will Byers, Jonathan’s brother, Maxine Mayfield, Hargrove’s stepsister, and of course Dustin Henderson. You didn’t really know how or why Steve started hanging out with him, and apparently the rest of the kids in that group, but you did know that it was the talk of the school for a few weeks. Dustin spoke up first. “How do you know Steve?”
“What?” you asked, more confused as to why these kids were talking to you and less concerned about finishing up your halftime duties.
The girl you recognized as Max repeated the question, seemingly annoyed. “How do you know Steve?”
Again, you looked at them confused, “How do you know Steve?”
The group looked to each other and tried to come up with a way to tell you how he knew them without explaining the whole Upside Down thing.
“He’s our babysitter!” Dustin exclaimed.
“Um, okay…” you spoke, trailing off while you checked the countdown to the second half of the game on the scoreboard. You didn’t really want to deal with the cheerleaders or the snack bar staff, so you decided to humor the kids.
“Okay, so are you friends with Steve?” Mike asked.
“Uh, not really?” you admitted, still trying to figure out where the conversation was going.
“Well you seemed really invested in how he was playing today,” Max said again.
“Yeah. I’m a cheerleader. It’s kinda my job to be invested in how they’re playing. Look, I don’t know what you guys want from me, but I gotta go. Cheer stuff and all that. But hey, I don’t know why, but every time any of you make the slightest noise he like freaks out and he’s already been having enough trouble on the court without a distraction, so if you could, I don’t know, refrain from screaming this half, I think we could have a chance at a win today.” You smiled briefly before rushing out to the snack bar to finish what you needed to do before the game started back up again.
The rest of the game was extremely intense. The kids actually listened to your advice and kept quiet the whole time. You weren’t sure if it was because of what you said, or something else, because any time you happened to look in their direction they were whispering to each other, their heads all leaned in close as if scheming. You were so into the game you almost forgot to call cheers, but each time you did, you found the six children in the corner of the stands staring curiously at you again while leaning their heads together and whispering. You shrugged that off pretty quickly when you noticed the score slowly being brought up.
Steve had been pretty off of his basketball game the past few weeks, so seeing that he was improving, and gaining his place back at the front of the team, bringing the score slowly up to tie the other team and eventually to bring Hawkins back in the lead, was awesome.
As the game finished, you called the final cheer, and headed out to congratulate the boys on their win kids were already here surrounding him. You decided to leave them be and head off to gather your stuff, but before you could make it to Steve, he was surrounded by the kids again, so you decided to not bug them.
As you shouldered your cheer bag, pulled your keys out, and headed to leave the gym you heard someone call your name. As you whipped your head around, your ponytail flipping it’s way to the other side of your head, you saw Steve surrounded by the kids still, but he looked as if he was trying to prevent Dustin from saying something (evident by the hand clamping over the younger boy’s mouth). Mike stood there with his hands cupping his mouth (apparently he had been the one to call your name) and the boy you didn’t recognize clapped his hand on Mike’s back, in… congratulations? You didn’t really know what to do as the scene unfolded in front of you, and you were about to ignore it, turn back around, and leave, but the only other person you didn’t recognize in the group gave you a shy smile and beckoned you over with a simple hand gesture.
Raising an eyebrow, you decided to listen to her, going against your own gut, which happened to be telling you to run far away, and walked over to meet the group.
“Is everything alright over here?” you asked casually, trying to hide the blush rising to your face from the intense gaze from pretty much everyone there, mostly Steve’s though.
You watched as the oldest one in the group looked from you to Mike to Dustin for a few seconds before frantically pulling his hand from the last one’s mouth and attempting to stand in a cool/casual pose. Obviously it wasn’t that cool or casual to anybody else, but you didn’t really care, you were still looking around the group confused, not even noticing the remaining people on the basketball court staring at the odd interactions.
“Hey-uh-hey,” Steve finally spoke up, “um, yeah, yeah, everything’s great! There’s no problem. What? Who said anything about a problem? Yeah no everything's fine, chill. What-what are you doing here?”
“Well, I was just heading out until your…” you hesitated for a moment, glancing at Mike and the girl you still couldn’t place and attempting to choose the correct word, “friend..s…” you paused again, “called me over?”
“Oh! Uh, yeah.. That’s interesting. Yeah, um that’s so weird,” he commented with a forced chuckle punctuating the statement, “I-I didn’t realize you knew them.”
“I don’t!” you stated quickly, recoiling back when you realized how aggressive you sounded. “I mean like… Not really. I just met them… during half time.”
“Oh, well, cool, I guess.”
“Yeah, I’m-uh-I’m gonna go. Gotta head home, parents ya know- ha ha,” you said before turning around quickly and starting to walk away, cringing inwardly to yourself at how awkward you are when talking to Steve.
“Wait!” you heard, this time the shout coming from Steve and not one of his middle schooler friends. In fact, his friends were now not surrounding him, but instead standing along a side wall as if they were waiting for him.
“Yes?”
“Would you, shit, would you maybe wanna like… Hang out sometime?”
“I-yeah. Yeah! Of course. That sounds-that sounds great,” you admitted, eyes still downcast as you reached to tuck a nonexistent stray hair behind your ear.
“Cool! Rad! Yeah, I’ll-yeah. Um see you later then.”
“Bye Steve,” you said finally before turning around and walking away, letting the smile you had been suppressing take over your face.
As you walked away you heard the footsteps of the six kids returning to Steve’s side, one of them saying something along the lines of “damn Steve, I don’t know why I ever asked for dating advice from you! You suck at this! I thought you were supposed to be good with girls, especially, like, cheerleaders!”
He chuckled before he gave his brief response of, “She said yes, didn’t she? Now let’s get you shitheads home.”

I was tagged by @80smikewheeler and @willthewisest
Thank you so much Mel!! And thank you so much Willow! I’m going to answer Mel’s first because her’s is the one I got first and then I’ll answer Willow’s:)
Rules: 1) Post the rules 2) Answer the questions given to you by the tagger 3) Write 11 questions of your own 4) And tag 11 people!
1. What’s your favourite 80s song?
I’m not sure, really. I don’t listen to many 80′s songs, but probably Should I Stay or Should I Go just because it makes me think of my darling Byers’ boys.
2. Do you have any special skills or talents that you haven’t told many people about?
Not really. Does being able to name all 50 states in alphabetical order count?
3. Coca Cola or Pepsi?
Neither. I don’t like soda.
4. Do you have a favourite swear word, and if so, what is it?
Probably fuck, just because I use it all the time. But, fun fact, I didn’t actually start to swear until I was 21.
5. Are you in any other fandoms?
Yep! Though not as actively as this one. I love Naruto, The Chronicles of Narnia, Agents of Shield, BBC Merlin, Harry Potter, and Star Wars (though I admit I really hated The Force Awakens and so that sort of turned me off it for a bit).
6. What is your all time favourite blog?
Gahhhh!!! I can’t answer this one! I have so many that I love!!!!!
7. What’s your 11:11 wish?
To be successful in my lifetime pursuits.
8. Would you rather get a piggyback from Pennywise, or kiss the Demogorgan?
Piggyback from Pennywise. Much as I hate clowns, I hate teeth more, and I can just laugh in Pennywise’s ear the whole time.
9. If you could only hang out with ONE of the ST cast for a day, who would it be and what would you do?
Crap, well as much as I would love to have a baking competition with the kids, I think I’d have to go with Natalia. We’re close in age and I would love to spend a whole day shopping in NY with her.
10. if you could only hang out with ONE of the ST characters for a day, who would it be, and what would you do?
Idk, if this was meant to be for another character, but I’m gonna take the opportunity to hang-out with Joe.
11. Ride on the back of Mike’s bike, or on the back of Max’s skateboard?
Mike’s bike. Skateboards and I are not friends.
1. What’s your favorite color?
Probably maroon.
2. Any unpopular st opinions?
I didn’t need El to come back for the second season. Much as I like her as a member of the boy’s group, I don’t have any real emotional connection to her as a character individually. This is an issue I have pretty much universally with every female character in every media so it has nothing really do with her specifically. I just happened to get more invested in the four boys and the story of their friendship than I did her.
3. Has a scene in Stranger Things ever made you cry? If so, which one(s)?
Pretty much every scene where Will was crying or in pain or suffering.
4. If you absolutely HAD to sacrifice one of the main 6 kids who would you pick? (this one’s evil i’m so sorry)
Eleven. I’m sorry, but I’m more emotionally invested in the others, and considering the effects her powers seem to have on her physiology I think she’s actually in the most danger of dying. I’m sorry!
5. Who’s your favorite character from each of the age groups on the show (kids, teens, adults)?
Kids: Will Byers
Teens: Steve Harrington
Adults: Jim Hopper
6. Favorite video game?
Outlast
7. What do you think about the fact that Dr. Brenner is still alive?
Honestly, I don’t really care either way. The whole government angle wasn’t as interesting to me as the monsters or other dimension. Though, I kinda have an idea in my head that El confides in Will what happened to her after they become siblings (cuz we all know Jopper’s coming), and he goes and straight up murders the man when he learns that he was the reason El’s life was shitty and he was dragged into the Upside Down.
8. 3 Musketeers - yay or nay?
Nay, but only because I’ve never actually tried one.
9. Have you ever tried to keep something as a pet that you knew wasn’t supposed to be one?
Don’t think so.
10. Steve - a shitty boyfriend and a pretty good babysitter, or a shitty babysitter and a pretty good boyfriend?
A shitty babysitter and a pretty good boyfriend. Like, I give him credit for trying in the babysitting department and for getting the kids to safety in the end, but he did go down initially and the kids did kidnap him.
11. Favorite song of the st soundtrack?
Soldiers. It’s just so eerie.
My Questions:
1. How long do you think you’d be able to survive in the Upside Down?
2. Vanilla ice cream - classic or boring?
3. If you found out that you were switched at birth what would you do?
4. A hundred years from now, what do you hope is still relevant?
5. 8-bit style Stranger Things video game or Outlast-style Stranger Things video game?
6. You wake up to find out you’re the last person on Earth. What is your first reaction?
7. If you could resurrect three deceased famous people to have a chat over lunch with, who would you choose?
8. Do you want to see more of the superpowered experiment children or do you just want the focus to stay on Eleven?
9. Rain or sunshine?
10. Your favorite “Earth is Space Australia” headcanon?
11. Favorite midnight snack?
I tag: @maxmayfield @1980s-jean-ralphio @curiosityvoyage @stevemossington @serendipitous-rambles @dadhopper @heliophobicsoul @a-fandom-unicorn @themadzoomer @themikewheelers @thefivefootterror
And honestly if you want to do it then please go ahead!

Open invitation to talk about how Audrey was under-utilized by the Lorax movie
Oh my god I’ve been waiting for this opportunity for my entire life 
Well, ONE way to improve the movie would be simply removing that entire Thneedvile subplot and making the entire movie about the Once-ler. Like, the movie starts off with a young boy going to visit the Once-ler in this dark and decrepit world. The entire movie is the Once-ler’s story, told with better pacing than the actual movie did. Unlike the original, show what a good guy the Once-ler was, make us invested in his character, show his gradual heel-turn into a shitty guy. If you wanna stay true to the original story, end the movie with the Once-ler giving the seed to the kid. If you want a more optimistic ending, show the Once-ler and the kid planting the seed together or something. Maybe the movie could be sprinkled with some pop culture references, akin to Shrek or Moana, but overall have a very sombering kind of tone and add more character to the Dr Suess classic.
“But we don’t want to just stick to the original,” a corporate suit might say to me. “We need it to be more peppy and modern. We need an unneeded het romance. We need it to appeal to the youth.”
Ok, I’d say, we can make that work. So how can we improve the Lorax (2012) using the characters and aspects that said movie presents to us?? Well, I’m no master writer, so this probably isn’t the best movie, but this is just my idea.
Mostly, by utilizing Audrey.
Alright, so, what do we know about Audrey? Well, she knows about trees. Why? Well, let’s say that in this hypothetical alternate movie, the intro scene is a parent/a guardian/some other adult figure (maybe a younger Norma as a babysitter??) telling a young Audrey about trees. Maybe she comes across old pictures of trees, and finds herself interested in them, and yearns to learn more. 
You see her curiosity bloom in this scene, and that could transition into the opening number Thneedville. Instead of Ted scooting around the singing residents, it would be Audrey. Like, she’s picking up paint from the store, and everyone’s singing around her, and she clearly sticks out as a sore thumb (think the opening song from Beauty and the Beast, except no ones paying attention Audrey). After the song, you see her painting the trees on the back of her house (if she found an old picture of trees like I mentioned before, maybe she’s using it as a reference?? So it makes sense why she even knows what they look like), which leads to Ted crashing his toy plane in her backyard, like in the movie (except from her POV). She shows him her paintings, and gushes abt how she’d love to see a real tree (maybe she’s even the one who tells Ted about the Once-ler, but she’s like “I’m terrified of leaving down, have you seen the cameras everywhere? O’Hare’d go after me and my family for sure” and Ted is just stupid enough to attempt to do it himself). I don’t know, something along those lines. Maybe Ted flat out doesn’t care about trees at first, and finds Audrey’s fascination weird, and she has to convince him. Something like that
This would lead to Ted finding the Once-ler, and that would more or less be the same. However, whenever the movie isn’t focusing on the Once-ler, it’s focusing on Audrey’s story within Thneedville. Instead of the Ted/O’hare confrontation that we got in the movie, Audrey finds O’Hare in her backyard as his guards are painting over her trees. O’Hare could be like “Nice paintings Audrey! Where did you learn about these :)?” and Audrey is glaring him down (and showing some actual character mayhaps???)
And since I’m a sucker for parallels, I imagine parallels being very evident in this version of the movie??? Like at first, you see Ted being kinda dismissive of Audrey’s passion for nature, though eventually giving in (this would parallel the Once-ler, a man with an ulterior motive behind nature, and the Lorax, a creature who genuinely cares about nature). Then, later on, you see O’Hare and Audrey’s confrontation, which would parallel the Once-ler, a cruel business tycoon, shutting down the nature-loving Lorax. Not only would this give a bit more character to the main characters, but it could also show the similarities that Audrey has to the Lorax (which I think the actual movie was trying to go for??? Maybe????) and also show just how terrible the Once-ler has become??? He went from someone as innocent as Ted to someone like O’Hare??? I don’t know. I love parallels 
These stories would come back together when Ted gets the seed and shows it to Audrey. Though I hate that chase scene at the end of the movie, I think it’d be more or less the same in this edited movie. (Maybe there’s some kind of scene where Ted almost gives into O’Hare’s words? Like, he’s got the seed and he’s like “Is it really worth this much trouble, Audrey? Things aren’t SO bad, they COULD be worse” and Audrey’s like “my dude that kind of thinking is what got us here in the first place”. Idk it’s kind of a stretch that could potentially be a good idea maybe?) It’s Audrey who says “I speak for the trees” and gives the big speech at the end. They do the the Let It Grow sequence, and Audrey and Ted plant the seed in the ground together (there’s no cheek kiss. theres. theres just no cheek kiss. maybe she ruffles his hair though, like a big sister)
Then you get the ending, where old once-ler is watering his trees and the Lorax comes down and they have their reunion scene, just like in the actual movie. However, before the credits roll, you see Ted and Audrey coming up over the hill. Ted motions to Audrey like “she’s the Real person who cared a whole awful lot and i wanted her to meet you” and you see Ted and Audrey standing across from the Once-ler and the Lorax and its like... it’s almost like Ted and Audrey are the “new onceler and lorax”???? Like, the Onceler and the Lorax are familiar faces to old fans of dr suess. Adults and what have you. Ted and Audrey, though, are voices for the younger generation. The younger kids watching the movie
i dont know. parallels are fun. i dont know what im saying
Anyways YEAH thats my idea for how they couldve improved the Lorax movie and utilized Audrey more??? Sure it wouldnt have been perfect, hell it probably wouldnt have been GREAT, but these are just the ways that I think I personally wouldve enjoyed the movie more and I hope u all enjoy

2. First game you played?The first game I ever played ever, in thehistory of forever, was Super Mario Bros. at my babysitter’s house, if mymemory serves me correctly
4. Longest consecutive hours you’ve played agame?Ohkay, let’s see. Without eating or bathing,but I did get up briefly to bathroom and drink water, I finished uncharted 1,2, and 3 consecutively in 120 hrs. Needless to say, I never did that again, asthe blood vessels in my eyes popped, I ate two bigmacs after, and my parentsyelled at me. Otherwise, without moving or tending to most of my basic bodilyneeds, 10 hours max as of late.
6. An underrated game from within the last fewyears?I don’t know, I’m probably biased and neverreally look online to see how the game was rated/how it’s doing. Oh! But! Ireally liked Battleborn, which was basically a game that came out like a littlebefore Overwatch? Or near the same time, actually. You also fight in teamsagainst one another with unique character abilities to obtain certainobjectives. Honestly, it is extremely well done and detailed, but very muchfalls in Overwatch’s shadow possibly due to similarity and budget D:  8. The game with the best atmosphere/scenery?I’m biased. I love Bioshock. But I also am ahuge fan of those apocalyptic, dystopia aesthetics. So, essentially, anythingalong the lines of bioshock, Fallout, and Last of us.
10. Prefer PC or console?I’ve always played on console. And I’m so bad atPC. You would think it’s a bit easier to aim a cursor to shoot at something,but I’m particularly bad at that.
12. Most bizarre game you’ve ever played?Most games are pretty… bizarre. Most of theactual weird ones I’ve only seen online on those “top ten weirdest video games”but maybe Katamari? There are definitely weirder ones… The Nightmare Within wasalso… strange. I don’t actually know what counts as bizarre anymore in thegaming world. Shrek party…
14. Do you watch playthroughs online?Sometimes, yes! If I know I am never going toget the game. For example, an xbox exclusive (I do not have an xbox) or if Ialready played the game and want to see others suffer, lmao. Or if I like thestreamer.
16. The best year in gaming you’ve experienced?… I don’t remember. I’m going to say 2011.
18. Worst game you’ve played?There are probably worse games, but I’ll go withthe most recent one I’ve played, which was Bound by Flame. It was kind of thisunfortunate mix of—attempt at—Dark Souls, Dragon Age, and other medieval games.Some parts of the gameplay were unnecessarily hard for kicks, with no way toovercome the boss aside from chipping away at the health by throwing a rock atit, while your single dead companion lay sprawled in the middle of the fieldten seconds into the fight. And of the one and a half romance options pergender you were allowed, none of them were very enticing. Spoiler** I overcamethe end fight by purchasing 10,000 potions to fight the dragon. I made itthrough just fine, only after using 600 potions. Strategy was little help, butheyo I made it through. 20. Favorite publisher and/or developer?…Sony? I don’t know… I’m terrible at thesequestions.
22. If you could turn one game into movie, whichwould it be?You know I don’t know, since any game thatturns into a movie makes me want to cry bitter tears of hate. I’m looking atresident evil specifically. But if I could turn Bioshock into a really goodmovie with the proper actors/actresses, storyline, extras, atmosphere, then …yeah.
24. Ever cried because of a video game? Whichone(s)?…Too many. Nothing gets me more invested andemotional than a videogame. I guess the only one that has made me actually cryvisible tears is Journey. The ending overwhelmed me in an inexplicable way.
26. How often do you play online? Co-op?Relatively often now, especially withOverwatch, and the fact that a lot of my friends have Overwatch as well. So,like, every other day, if not daily. Otherwise, I love co-oping with a friend mostlybecause the AI that they give to work with you tends to … suck butts. Lookingat Resident Evil… again.
28. Who got YOU into gaming?My babysitter. Haahaa. I used to hang out ather house all the time and I’d watch her play all sorts of games. She’s alsothe one who gifted me my purple game boy color :’D30. On average, how long does it take you in thecharacter creation screen?Could be up to an hour. But at least 30minutes. It depends on if I know what I want.
32. Do you cosplay?I do! But I’ve actually only cosplayed animethings. Most of the video game stuff I would like to cosplay is too hard and/orI wouldn’t do it justice. Also I’ve been parts of group cosplays generally, sowe gotta find a good match.
34. Favorite male npc?For some unknown reason, the only personpopping into my head right now is erandur, the dark elf companion, from skyrim.Like… he’s not my favorite npc, but…my mind is drawing a complete blank. And isjust repeating that name over and over in my head. Oh boy
36. Best antagonist?Albert Wesker. …Spoiler??** Look… if you gottathrow him in a volcano to get rid of him after 200 tries of “just survive longenough” fights, he’s pretty good to me. Please let him die.  
38. Have you tried a game, hated it, then triedagain, and loved it?N….no? There are some games where I getfrustrated, then invite a friend to play, who is extremely over-leveled, andthen they help me… live. Does that count?40. Favorite voice actor?Okay, I love Troy Baker. How can one person beso gosh darn versatile?? For anyone who doesn’t know (I doubt that) He voicesJoel from TLOU, Booker from Bioshock, Sam Drake from Uncharted, to name theones that pop into my head. And he does like a million other voices, and sings,and is just very excellent overall. 
42. A game you will never forget (in a bad ORgood way)?Resident Evil 5 in the respect that I justplayed it during a very happy time in my life with one of my friends. And itwas also when I learned that I really love co-op, as well it was a supertreasured bonding time with that friend. We legit screamed so obnoxiouslythroughout the whole thing, apologized profusely, yelled for help. Like thatgame brought out our full range of emotion while playing.
44. Do graphics matter?Not necessarily. They add a nice kick, butthere are quite a few games I can think of where the gameplay and story aremore prominent. Storyline is generally always the main thing I look for first.Storyline and characters. 46. Always, sometimes, or never use subtitles?ALWAYS. Even for NPCs. Like the setting thatsays “ALL SUBTITLES” one of the reasons is because it alerts me to enemiessometimes too as they whisper in the distance. Which is the closest thing to awarning from jump scares that I’m going to get.
48. A game you’ve always wanted to play but havenever gotten to it?Um. I’ve actually been pretty aggressive ingetting my grubby hands on the games that I want. EXCEPT. Nearly everythingthat came out after Kingdom Hearts: Chain of memories?? Like 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 5 ½,365/3 days  idk there were too many?? AndI basically had almost every console except the PSP so I just kind of gave up??
50. How many games do you own?…uh… too many?? At least 200 if you total allof them from the dawn of my first game boy color.52. A game you will always stand behind, andsupport no matter what?..Fable. OKAY So, even though the game, alongwith the game company crashed and burned, I really loved that first game??Along with The Lost Chapters. I essentially based the experiences I had withFable 2, 3, Journey on how good the first game was. If I were to make someoneplay it now, they would probably think it’s pretty dumb, but I thought it was acleverly made game…54. A sequel you really want?… lmao Fable. AND/OR The Wolf Among us, becausethat’s been sitting there for far too long.56. Do you tell people irl that you play videogames?Yeah. If it comes up in the conversation. Or if…they have merchandise that I want.
58. Ever have someone walk in on a sex scenebetween you and you LI?N…o…60. The game you are best at?I know Bioshock inside and out… I don’t knowwhy I’ve played it so much, it’s a very linear game, but wuh. Also weirdly, I’mvery good at Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. And the only reason I’m obnoxiously goodat that game is because of the Chaos. I love those ridiculous little things andwould do anything to make sure they’re happy and healthy. And in order to dothat I had to play each stage multiple times to get the right power-ups andanimals to feed the Chaos…. There was a whole garden. And god.
62. Would you want to work with video games whenyou are older?I feel like if I start working with it I’llstart disliking it very much, unless I literally work as a tester… that getspaid a decent amount. Like seriously, walk in, sit down, play for… hours uponhours. Otherwise, I do not have the creativity or skill. lmao.
64. Describe your favorite video game using onlythree words?Underwater death city.
66. Game with the yummiest looking food?Final Fantasy XV. Okay, so I haven’t finishedthe game. I’m really not even that far into it, like… at all. I just saw thefood and got hungry. It’s so realistic and pretty.  
68. An older game that you’ve just recentlygotten into?I guess… Fallout New Vegas was pretty old, butthen my friend bought it for me on sale, and I tried it out and it was supergood??? And now I’m really into the Fallout series.
70. Do you play any mobile games?I.. play Fire Emblem Heroes, and a variety ofother mobile games like.. Notice me Senpai, Zen Koi, Mystic Messenger, uhhh…whatever is recommended sometimes. .
72. Have any guilty pleasure games?Not really. I’m pretty prideful in every game Iplay, including my otome games.74. Which game has the best lore?…Once…. Again, BIOSHOCK. Idk there are just somany little things in the city that you can find that point to the history ofthe residents, and what happened to them. There are those audio messages and littlesecrets that everybody has in the city, leading to its fall. I just love it somuch. Skyrim is a close second, to be fair. It’s more immersive and I canroleplay more on there.

Matt wakes me up talking about TMZ... Says they called Don wanting to talk to Matt. I'm still asleep and so Matt knows how to get me to talk when I'm sleeping... So I come up with "TMZ? they can be ass holes" because I remember when I first started writing about ​Jesse they would bug me alot. I knew they were very friendly with Jesse, to the point that I know they really helped him through the whole Sandra Bullock thing and that he really really needed their support. Like it made him feel happy. Like Jesse loves them like best friends love. But they weren't very good, scientifically speaking to be able to guess things.. they were very annoying to me and I blew up more than once. I just, in the end, couldn't stand them. I was trying to break amnesia and they just got in the way with their imagination. So Matt called them and then they said what they said and then Matt said he would not speak to them without legal representation. Eventually I began to wake up.. and I said "It was Jesse. They don't read me enough" And "but they called Don, wouldn't they want to know his side of the story?" And Don denied that. Says people aren't interested in that. Which I mull over because that's not true and TMZ is actually very progressive and they sit around and have people express their opinions about things that happen. Their news stories are presented very different than conventional news. So I come to the conclusion that his side of the story is not very different than mine. The FBI concluded I am correct. I checked my phone for a text about something personal that has nothing to do with bull shit in my life. And I saw a phone call from Los Angeles. I first thought it was Jesse's little cop pal. I know they say he's gonna get his ass kicked if he steps one foot in my state but yet I don't trust him to stay to himself. So I thought it was him at first, because I don't typically memorize area codes. But I got a reactivate physical feeling, usually if it's like Mike Andrews or my mom, my stomach will hurt really bad but my guts were fine And the FBI babysitters that watch my health were all happy because it didn't hurt. I think they saw my reaction before I did. Cause my stomach will hurt really fucking bad, even if it's just my mom. Well my mom is really evil too So in the end. Jesse went calling TMZ because he needs an outlet. A friend. He can't trick and tame me anymore and he is fucking scared to death. So sad about how such a bad boy he's been. And so he wanted his friends to call out. But it's Jesse and he tells TMZ the truth... Ish... Like when his finger got cut off, he lied and said it wasn't Dejoria's fault although it was-ish. So he either deserved it or she was just playing around or wasn't being ill-willed. He of course told me a different story about how she was trying to hurt him. But he typically tells me a different story so that I feel for him. Anyways. That's just Jesse. So all I have to say is that obviously Jesse knows what's true and he's trying to hide in plain sight It's not about the truth or anything of that nature. It's about his emotional buffer. He's so fucking Afraid to be in trouble and if he can get two steps away from the truth then he can get me to chill in my upset and he can feel a little breathing space. He of course hopes to twist back to Don and the NHRA and not his early 90 murdering streak of prostitutes and pimps and Johns in NYC or his murder in Texas of Jeremy, Jeremyuh, Arrianna and Aaron, two infant children whom he also raped. He raped Jeremyuh after he died, too. But not Jeremy because he went to great lengths to hide that murder, to quote Jesse himself. He's quite upset that I've known and not told him that I know he murdered him and he can no longer hide that. I don't need legal representation for anything I say. I probably should, in some hindsight issues, yet I know that people are more scared of me than willing to be in my face about shit, for real. I know the only reason I don't have lawsuits for slander against me is because what I say is truth and no one wants that out in the open any more than it is Except Jesse and that's not so that anything but try to distract me. Maybe some five minutes of fame will make me chill and be happy he's a psychopathic sociopathic lunatic that scopes religion to suit his own penis' happiness. I'm not quite interested in talking to TMZ. I'm more interested in seeing what other people have to say. I just want to be told that I'm right I know I am so it's not necessary And I have just this morning been told so. And no Jesse's plan will not work because, unfortunately for Jesse, I actually understand him and I hope that TMZ has a little light shining now that explains to them why they should just hang up when Jesse calls. It's their choice to do as they like to do however I think it's best they also stay away from Jesse. It's not worth an emotional investment. I understand that many members of TMZ do love Jesse as we all have at least once in our life. But it's just time to let him go In a professional manner, shit is about to hit the fan so fucking bad that I really think that TMZ should keep arms distance from Jesse because they will have to completely reoganize their thinking of him if they show him complete sympathy in current times. Because soon, as I say, he wont be just out getting his dick on and being hated for it. There will be real reason to hate him and the public will not love sympathy towards Jesse. In personal issues, choices is as it is to each individual. But as I say it's not worth the emotional investment. It will drag your ass down Of course they've been in the business long and should know how to separate emotions from professional feeling But I do believe they need a real world standpoint before investment. The whole Sandra thing... That's a different story. Everyone fucks around and shit and it's completely different than rape and murder. Jesse is a terrorist. I'm just trying to stop him And if TMZ doesn't heed the warning. I've supplied what I know and they can use their own psychological guide to understand the situation. And until shit does hit the fan in the media, I suggest they pretend they never heard of him. Me? I really don't give a shit. But the cops will use me to trigger him. And idk that's something that the media really wants to get into right now. And the shit they use to trigger are tricks and not at all substantial. They use my emotions to subdue Jesse so that Jesse can remain calm and do as Jesse does. It's for their safety. Like if I hadn't talked shit about them last night, Jesse would not has went to seek solace with the media. He would not thought he had a way out. He would not tried to find a friend. Which could been very bad. I hurt Jesse's feelings because I also told him I would fuck a cop so that they would beat him up. That was his final, I need to find a friend. Because he learned from me, if you don't feel safe, make shit public. So he could go crying "a cop beat me up" Whatever. He's stupid and immature to think I would do the shit that he does. Seriously I would just trick a cop to let me near him so I could kill him. That's what I would really do. Not anything else. But Jesse can think I would fuck a cop so that cop would beat him up because then Jesse can't see that I would kill him for killing my children. Because I will. And that's the truth. Oh and he tells Dejoria that he killed my kids because I cheated on him. Well he thinks we are together now and have been for the past year and a half and we have not been and I take every opportunity possible to tell him that I'm not and the people in the public so that they can brush him off when he tells people we are together. Because we are not. And we will never be Not that I know who he's killed and what he's done. Because he got his feelings hurt. Don Schumacher likes to keep me in a little dark corner of the internet and will not say a dam thing so that I'm not out in the open with the truth about what he's done. Matt happens to work for him I think Matt should say whatever he wants to say to whoever he wants to say it to. Sure people like to deny it and they like to deny it as long as they can and will go to great lengths to deny the truth However, Don had had cancer and Don know why he got cancer and while his actions are absolutely unbearably wrong, as long as he stays a dusty bunny under the bed like a horrible monster that will come out with his erect penis as though you were a paid prostitute, then he feels his soul is clean. Because, after all, it's only me. And he still thinks he can intimidate me to shut my mouth I've had people murdered in front of me. Had guns held to my head more than once. Been beat and raped and my mouth is still mother fucking running So no, like Jesse, he's a complete moron. I'm not a fucking mirror. I'm a silent killer.
