BEHOLD! The list of evidence for my bold claim that Pan and Freddie dislike each other ferociously on sight because they are, in some key ways and despite appearances, very similar people:

- First instinct upon seeing Grace sad is to try to make her laugh to cheer her up. (See: Freddie’s very first lines in the game starting off as she means to go on, and about half the things Pan ever says or does lol. In the last scene with him before The Trial you can even tell him you’re there just because you wanted to talk to him and have something cheer you up.) General sources of levity and fun and play in Grace’s life if you seek them out.

- They react with similar anxiety to the idea of Grace being really angry with them (Freddie’s surprised/dismayed “Why are you angry at me?!” in the red route of ‘I Can Teach You’, the millenia-old god of the wild hiding behind a tree for ten minutes because he thinks Grace might be about to yell at him lmao <3)

- Both of them seem to have similar interpersonal insecurities in general, judging by the enforced choice between them in ‘I Can Teach You’ (I love you both so much but oh my god. is this a constructive use of time or energy under the circumstances lol), softened and alleviated by the fact that at the end of the day the most important thing to either of them is that Grace is happy. It isn’t possessiveness, but there is an element of underlying ‘Hey. Hey I am your favorite right?? 🥺’ insecurity there that trips them both up to begin with. Once you play the game and go back to look at this scene again knowing everyone’s real motivations, they’re even coming from the same place deep down — genuine fear for Grace’s safety and wanting to help her. (Freddie uncomplicatedly out of love🥹, and Pan at that stage probably more out of a guilty sense of responsibility, though he does seem to take a shine to Grace herself pretty quickly as well. Also he demonstrably isn’t, uh. Completely wrong in saying Freddie’s involvement in this whole mess is likely to end in tears, even if he is being a real dick about it)

- If you don’t choose either in ‘I Can Teach You’, they both show up within minutes of each other to watch Grace’s back in the Medusa quest anyway. One brain cell ping pong and no one notices because they keep trying to swat each other with the racquets whenever Grace glances away for a second

Sidenote but flirting with both of them one after the other in that quest is fucking hilarious, they’re just taking turns ‘Really? Right in front of my salad?’-ing directly at the camera (...listen I feel that there is a chance that as long as they kept Grace between them the whole time there could be a thing here. I think a possible universe out there where it happens at least once does exist if one cared to go seek it out. That’s all I’m saying.)

- Seems a bit obvious but what else am I here for: both very drawn to Grace no matter what main trait you choose. Whether this is true vice versa is of course player-dependent, but it is one way you can play the game.

- Incredibly similar defensive reactions to being picked on or sniped at (and no hesitation whatsoever in subjecting each other to exactly that immediately anyway haha)

- A bit dark when you think about it, but they both express the sentiment that it would be better for them to step in and die if it means Grace lives. (Freddie very directly of course ;______; and then in ‘It’s time’, Pan in ‘The Trial’ and the little talk you have with him later in Athena’s office.)

Matching ‘ride or die’ instincts once awoken, is what I’m getting at. Freddie gets extra points for sheer longevity and constancy, Pan gets extra points for getting there in a week. You’re both unhinged (affectionate)

- They’re the only ones among the main cast wearing green, right? I think I’ve got that right? Well, Charon does too, I suppose, but he’s a bit more peripheral. (Persephone and Aphrodite wear blue-green, but that seems more associated with death and the underworld and the river of grief everyone keeps using as a metaphor throughout the game.) Somehow I find the idea/metaphor that once you get Pan out from under like three layers of bullshit he’s the same colour as Freddie (who is inarguably The symbol of devotion and steadfastness in this game no matter your choices) quite sweet.

- Nerds. You know I am right. Slightly different kinds of nerd (Freddie is distinctly geek-flavoured and Pan collects rare books for sport sort of distinction), but still. Oh my god. Freddie should get the whole cast together to play D&D in the Reliquary post-game. It would be absolute carnage. It would be glorious hilarity. *GASP* no wait not the Reliquary, let’s go to the Underworld so Charon gets to play too. For the love of all that is good give this to me now please I need it

- The only two people who think Freddie losing control of her powers and causing a dance number at a funeral is hilarious

In short this is a recognition of the self through the other (derogatory) situation for both of them and neither of them decides to take that with any dignity or grace (ahaha) in the slightest, I love them very much, thank you and goodnight

#stray gods #stray gods freddie #stray gods pan #grace x freddie #grace x pan #grace x freddie x pan #stray gods meta #if you could grace this thing with that word it's mostly for book keeping reasons for myself haha

What's with Balloon Boy and the Daycare Attendant?

The Balloon World arcade machine exists, it's in the DA's room and both characters are involved in it. It's probably one of the most cryptic minigames in the FNAF series as a whole, but while we could ponder what exactly it's supposed to mean (maybe I'll do that for all the security breach minigames eventually), the main question I have is this:

WHY Balloon Boy specifically? Why is the minigame about HIM?

Is there a connection between the two characters? Or was it a completely random decision?

Out of nowhere, thinking about Balloon World, I came to a realization:

The Lights.

Balloon Boy's entire gimmick in FNAF 2 was that if he got into your office, he would disable your flashlight and vent lights (...somehow. I know we all make the jokes about him taking the batteries [and then that FNAF 57: Freddy In Space thing in FNAF World said he just straight-up steals your entire flashlight], but you never see the battery icon disappear or appear empty in FNAF 2 itself when he gets into your office. And the vent lights also stop working, so unless they also operate on batteries, then... does he actually take them from you?).

What's the one rule in the daycare?

Keep the lights on.

His mechanic is the antithesis to what Sun wants and exactly what Moon would want. Balloon Boy doesn't keep the lights on. He prevents you from turning them on at all.

(which also makes me kinda sad there wasn't a Glamrock version of BB. Then again, I don't know how exactly he would've uniquely affected like anything. Regardless I am hoping for the day someone in the fandom makes a glamrock bb who is arch-enemies with sun and gets along well with moon skseijdndndnd-)

It feels kinda obvious and I'm guessing I'm not the only person to think about this, but I have never seen anyone else bring this up. Not on YouTube, not on tumblr, nowhere. Maybe if I go looking for it I'll see, but i'm surprised I haven't bumped into anyone else saying this just naturally. I go into the BB tags a LOT, surely SOMEONE would've said something, right? I don't even see it noted in the trivia on the page for the arcade game on the fnaf wiki.

...but is this supposed to mean anything? Or is it just a cute little reference or callback? it's hard to say, especially with how ambiguous the minigame is.

Though I DID think of ONE thing... (possible minor spoilers for Ruin under the cut):

Saw this pointed out in a youtube video that the BB World screen (with Eclipse, who makes their proper debut in Ruin after effectively being foreshadowed by the minigame in SB's base game) can be seen on the ceiling in the DA's room. Which makes sense, obviously, but also take note of the pirate-themed windows in the hallway leading to it.

...now, which character do most of us tend to associate with Balloon Boy? His "tag-team partner," of sorts?

Foxy. The Pirate.

With this, I found that there's more Foxy-related stuff associated with the daycare area than I had previously realized because I had never made any connections before. I mean, Kids' Cove is directly linked to it for god's sake.

Like. I hope i haven't forgotten to mention anything (I've been writing this post over the course of hours 'Cus I had stuff to do in the middle of it all). My brain's kinda starting to fry. But basically: Was Foxy originally meant to be the Daycare Attendant, in-universe? Was there gonna be a Glamrock Balloon Boy with him, like as his first mate or something??? Were they gonna be connected to Fazbear Theater????? (Uh basically Sun/Moon to my knowledge from confirmation in the books and a lot of more subtle implications in-game mainly involving environmental pieces were originally meant to be in the Fazbear Theater as a stage animatronic but got moved to daycare duty instead and being reprogrammed. Which actually explains a lot about them when you think about it-)

Like. Ok I'm forgetting where I was going with this, I'm sorry, but I guess it's food for thought/adds to the weird connections between DA and BB, I guess. Idk. I can't focus that well right now to keep making new ideas.

felt like sharing my interpretation of the Balloon World minigame itself at least since earlier I did kinda finally get it down concretely:

I kinda developed a theory that Eclipse is Sun/Moon's "safe mode" and that rebooting DA reactivated Eclipse as a result. Like, they're their own AI that was at one point implemented. but then Vanny happened and locked them out thanks to the whole Glitchtrap virus thing (albeit it only seemed to reach Moon, while Sun remains seemingly unaffected. Guessing it's because they're different AIs [finally implied/basically confirmed by their Ruin dialogue). Eclipse has seemingly not been active for some time, or at least never post-pizzaplex closure, given how they're seemingly completely oblivious to the fact that this place is closed with no signs of opening.

So the minigame was foreshadowing Eclipse's existence and implying their "trapped" nature, which also could be seen as paralleling Vanessa's whole "Vanny" situation, especially given how iirc one of the messages related to princess quest can be found near the arcade machine.

#This post kinda crumbled toward the end but I hope it's still interesting enough :'3 #fnaf #fnaf sb #fnaf ruin #fnaf eclipse #fnaf sun #fnaf moon #daycare attendant #balloon boy

Steve Harrington x pregnant Henderson! reader???

Hi, thanks for passing by my ask box ( and sorry for this late reply)

I got this ask after returning home from class, so I couldn't answer it on time because I was very tired. The specifical concept I'm working on i referenced on the post ( you can check on it on my masterlist, if you are interested) didn't get yet to advanced stances of a relationship so I will be answering this with the closest thing I can think to that:

Enjoy some of Steve and the Reader accidentally sounding like parents when talking about Dustin ( in a drabble instead of blurb)

Our Shithead - Steve Harrington x Henderson! Reader

It was one of those moments where your brother wasn’t around and you were seeing Steve for the sake of being together. It could be said that you enjoyed it a relatively equal amount compared to your hours spent with Dustin, but the time alone had a more particular importance for both of you. For a friendship that started and developed around the boy, every bit of bonding time without him was proof of how your closeness was intensifying. It was different, allowing you to experience different sorts of intimacy that wouldn’t be fitting in different context. Your talks weren’t the same, your mutual approach would also suffer from a few shifts and you were just two highschool aged persons free to completely act as such.

Precisely because of how much he appreciated that, Steve noticed how unusually distracted you were and began to wonder if you were alright. You were very quiet, while he was used to hearing you ramble about anything making you happy and he missed it because he loved it perhaps a bit too much. It wouldn’t matter if you would be telling him random stuff like anecdotes of your involvement in Hellfire, a new story you were writing or the new vest you were making and that damned Freddy Kruger patch you still couldn’t find for it, anything sounded amazing to hear simply because you were always so passionate. Lacking that enthusiasm made him think something could be wrong and he craved to comfort you. Coming to you was a highlight of his day on every chance and he simply couldn’t resist wanting to make you feel good.

“ Are you sad because the school year is over? Damn, you are such a nerd.” He teased you to avoid making his worry evident. “ Although I get it. I’m not gonna be there anymore and you are stuck with Munson and his freaks.”

The slightly offensive joke got you out of trance, what he considered the beginning of a victory.

“ You are the one who is stuck with a freak, which is me. Too late if you thought graduating high school was getting you out of this.”

Fearing the comment may have actually upsetted you, he playfully dragged you beside him and he could swear he would have peppered you with kisses if his goal wouldn’t have been impeding him.

“ What makes you think I want an out? You are the one who seems somewhere else today.”

The soft callout put you in the right place for venting, what you proceeded to do right after laying close to him beside the very same spot he was sitting and placing your head on his lap. Despite everything that had been going on between you two that action still managed to surprise him. You have used him as a pillow before, but only going for either chest or shoulders. The new position just happened without warnings, so Steve listened to you while containing his own excitement about that.

“ Mom plans to take Dustin to a summer camp and I am very worried for him. I know it is not rational to worry this much, but I can’t help it. I keep thinking about how it is going to be the first time I will be fully unavailable to him if he has a problem and I’m freaking out.”

He smiled at you, evidently softened by you in the problem you were bringing up.

“ He will be alright, you have to stop rewatching Friday 13th movies for a while.”

“ Then where will I get my material to joke back on Carver?” You snarked back in return with a meaningless joke before throwing the hint for a serious confession. “ If there is only one thing the franchise portrays partially accurately is the lesson behind it: summer camp bullying is not a freaking joke.”

“ Maybe you feel you can’t control being concerned because it hits close to you. Did you have a bad experience at a summer camp?”

“ I don’t condone murder, neither would follow the route of Jason or Angela, but summer camps are hell and that is why those work soo well as horror locations.“ You insisted, making him laugh for an instant. “ The phranks escalate too easily, counselors don’t do shit and even if you are not the target of every joke things don’t get better. If you happen to be a child who is insecure about their body, like I used to, that's doom. I never got to learn how to swim because there was no way on earth I was going to wear a swimsuit in front of all the kids. “

The last part caught his attention with significant concern, swimming was like riding a bike for Steve and he couldn’t conceive you have never learned to do it. .

“ Wait, you don’t know how to swim?”

“ It’s not like it has been a vital skill for me before and I don’t plan to learn in the near future. I heard from Max that her step brother is a lifeguard at the public pool and I shall not be humiliated in front of him.”

“ I have a pool in my house, you are out of excuses.” Your friend pointed out before you could complain. “ No matter what, I'm going to give you swimming lessons this summer and you are going to recover from that summer camp childhood trauma.”

You looked up at him with some skepticism in your expression.

“ What you should be doing is applying as a counselor for one of those, it would be the perfect job for you. KIds love you and you are nice to them, really attentive. Jason Vorhees wouldn't have drowned on your watch and little nerds stuck there would trust you.”

Steve took the compliment, but twisted it once more into what he intended to discuss.

“ Does that imply that you are scared because I will not be there for Dustin? Is that what worries you the most?”

You felt caught up in your reasonings, but had to be honest.

“ Subconsciously? Maybe, you are the dude who saved his life. We fought monsters together the first time, so did Johnny and Nancy alongside us, but I have very fresh in my mind what you did for him on the second one.”

You took his hand before continuing and he felt really good about that.

“ It has been a long while since the last time one of us did some trip alone, I’m not used to being separated from Dustin and he is always my top priority. The last time I prioritized something else a bunch of monsters could have eaten him, but you were there. If he goes to that camp I will not be there, but neither will you.”

“ You could be such a great mom someday… If that’s what you would want, of course. You sound like one right now and the little shithead is your brother.“ He teased you, remarking your role as company and watcher of Dustin. “ This sort of experience is part of growing up. You are there for Dustin and that is awesome, but he needs to do things on his own. If it goes like shit we will be here to comfort him when he comes back, but he needs to go through it.”

“ I know, but there is a little voice in the back of my head telling me to save him the pain because it once sucked for me. What if the other kids make him feel insecure? What if he doesn’t bond well and makes no friends? “

“ Listen to yourself, we are talking of Dustin. If he doesn’t make any friendships with kids, nothing will stop him from befriending the counselors.”

The reminder brought a few chuckles out of you.

“ You are right, but I would still worry to death and miss him an amount he will never get to know or otherwise he would tease me. “

Steve related to those feelings, that kid was his best friend in the whole world.

“ We are two, a secret we should take to our graves: he is our shithead.”

Anime Rec:

Cheater, hustler, thief, fleecer, flim-flammer, con artist... there are many ways to refer to them, but personally? I prefer “confidence man.” Why?

Great Pretender

Here’s the gist of the story: Makoto Edamura is the self-proclaimed “best swindler in Japan.” Needless to say, that’s a load of bullshit.

Things quickly go to shit for the young scammer when he’s outsmarted by an international con artist and finds himself involved in a scheme grander than anything he attempted before.

What I liked in it:

Let me get started by saying it outright: this anime is gorgeous, and I don’t mean just the wide range of expressions from the characters and the awesome and skilled animation. The backgrounds themselves are some of the most beautiful parts of the visual presentation of this anime, and not without reason just look at this:

The accompanying soundtrack is perfect, carefully made to match the tone of the scenes. The way the drums and the sax combine to convey the emotion of the events on the screen – the tense, the epic and the sad – is unparalleled, blending in seamlessly with the visual presentation that this anime aims for.

Finally, my favorite part of this anime: the characters.

A little bit of background: the anime is split into “cases;” little arcs that aren’t really dependant on one another outside of developing characters.

Each case revolves around studying a character and their personal stakes on a con, but not forgetting that the others have their own interests and are willing to twist things in order to achieve what they believe is best for themselves. Each character has their own facets and dynamics, interacting with one another in charismatic ways without losing their standing individually and even the antagonists are fun to watch, despite their fairly repulsive actions.

Also, did I mention they have Freddie Mercury’s The Great Pretender for the ending song? They do, and it’s awesome!

Why must you come and tempt me when I am so busy?

#I already knew it was great and I ought to watch it #but here you come and give me even more incentive #recs

OF Episode 8 Thoughts

I’m sorry but I cannot deal with Ray. I cannot. I CAN’T DEAL WITH HIM. I could complain about every single thing Ray did this episode but that would take a whole post and it would mostly be me just repeating myself.

Love seeing sad heartbroken Boston drinking alone at the bar while looking at the one picture he and Nick had together. 💖

Boston x Atom is the hookup I would not have predicted a day ago and yet here we are. I support you chasing tail, Atom, but also I wish you knew what you were getting into doing that right in front of Nick’s face and I hope you don’t get murdered.

Also it was HILARIOUS watching Nick try to have a normal conversation with Boston as if he didn’t grossly violate Boston’s privacy on multiple occasions. I love that little guy.

I’m so glad Sand went to the party to be a wingman to his roommate’s stalker situation instead of just “I think I would have a good time at this party” that everyone was afraid about from last week’s preview

I ship Sand x Sand’s Freddie Mercury bi soulmate more than SandRay at this point tho. Like they could have had something but RAY. And you know when the guy is immediately like “I’m not getting involved in this,” that he would have been solid. He would not have messed around. TALK ABOUT A MISSED OPPORTUNITY

I feel bad that Sand keeps trying to set boundaries and create distance between him and Ray and Ray keeps stomping all over those boundaries. Like Sand is trying, I can see that he’s trying, but it’s not enough. I may rant more about this later.

I really liked the scene of Mew at the bookshop, and I liked how his shirt felt like inverse colors of what he’d worn at the shop with Top. I may make a separate post for this if someone else hasn’t already done it.

It hurts seeing Mew revenge era turn into Mew self destruction era, but I guess that’s where revenge gets you 😔

Mew kissing Ray right in front of Top’s sad wet face was nasty as hell (positive)

Top “I don’t care if Mew ends up with me as long as he’s happy” he’s really switched places with Ray at this point

Top showed his simp side big time this episode. I feel his pain tho watching Mew go down this road 😔 But if I were Mew I’d be pissed off if I woke up to find my pants off and my ex cuddling me, and that single action may undo everything Top did to take care of Mew lmfao

I really enjoyed seeing Cheum snap, and I am SO interested in what she said about her and Boston being third wheels to Ray and Mew. We’ve seen them being less than mediocre friends to Ray, and the easy assumption there is that they’re tired of being babysitters. But has Ray’s crush on Mew been the only reason he’s hung around the group for all these years? Have Boston and Cheum spent years feeling like they didn’t really matter to him? I love this thread and I hope we get more of it.

I also really feel for Cheum being upset about her friend group falling to pieces. Like yes, it’s a shitty and imperfect group, but sometimes that’s all you have, and losing it can suck.

On the ep 9 Preview:

I haven’t had a chance to go through the tags yet but I hope other ppl caught on coz WHAT IF DADDY DAN IS THE DADDY IN BOSTON’S PHONE????

This is me asking for a BostonNickDan threesome please just SOMEONE have a threesome

I am curious about ur opinions on glam Freddy tho XD

Ah Freddy. Dadbear my beloved. I love this man so much.

I love exploring then conflicts in his motivation. All he really wants wants is to make sure everyone is happy. He tries keep Gregory safe from his friends, but he’s also so concerned for his friends’ wellbeing when Gregory wrecks them.

And then there’s his relationship with Bonnie and his sadness at his disappearance. They fucking loved each other, dude, and all he had left of him is fucking Bonnie Bowl and the goddamn picture of Bonnie there doesn’t even look like Glamrock Bonnie! Not to mention he holds no ill will towards Monty whatsoever despite the fact he was almost certainly involved, and by all outside appearances seeming to be at least partially responsible (tho most likely not actually at fault).

Also, as stated previously, I am a big fan of fan theories and hypotheticals. So you can bet your ass I love all the possessed!Freddy AUs.

Mike!Freddy with the themes of redemption and making up for Michael’s past mistakes with Crying Child.

Henry!Freddy with the dichotomy between him + Gregory and William + Vanny.

CC!Freddy and the bond between two traumatized little boys and the gaining of power over the thing you once feared by becoming the thing you once feared aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuughhhhhhjsbbdbdnsnd

I go feral for all of it.

Fazbear Frights Ranking

Now that I've read all the Fazbear Frights stories (I'm super late, I know), I decided to briefly record my thoughts on them. (under the read more)

I don't care about ridiculous premises, because if you don't engage with them, you're not gonna like the story no matter what. I don't care about lore connections, and I especially don't care about epilogue connections. I also don't notice most pacing issues if I am interested in the characters. I don't care about gruesomeness as long as I find it engaging, and I love tragic stories.

When I made the tierlist (at the bottom), I consulted the wiki for the epilogue summaries, but I can't be bothered to do that for the ranking, so just assume if it's higher it's because of Jake, and if it's lower it's because of Eleanor.

36. "The Breaking Wheel" I didn't like any of the characters, and the pacing was too slow for me to be invested. Also what's with all these advanced science classes? Did I just miss out on a common public school thing in my private school?

35. "Prankster" Jeremiah sounds like a Nice Guy, and the ending was confusing. It's also hard to take things seriously when the protagonist thinks it's a prank (I still don't know if it is).

34. "Kids at Play" What is up with the signs following Joel around? That ending came out of nowhere. At least his internal conflict is kinda interesting.

33. "In the Flesh" Matt is so hateable it's entertaining, but the plot is too dull, and the ending is just gross and pointless.

32. "What We Found" This story started off really well, and I was really interested in Hudson, but all the hallucinations made the story difficult to follow. I couldn't tell if Springtrap actually did anything or not. The second half was just so disappointing.

31. "Sergio's Lucky Day" It was kinda neat to see how Sergio became increasingly reliant on Lucky Boy, even to his own detriment well before the ending, but I just didn't like it. I can't explain why.

30. "1:35 AM" I just felt sad for Delilah, but it was also frustrating how she wouldn't even explain to Harper exactly what was wrong. The ending was also underwhelming and made my claustrophobic ass uncomfortable in a bad way.

29. "Count the Ways" I don't understand why this one is so beloved. If not for the portions showing Millie's life before she climbed in Freddy, it would be much lower. I was just distracted the whole time wondering how big Funtime Freddy, who I have always perceived as one of the smaller Freddy models, would have to be to fit a 14 year old in his stomach with enough room for her to move at all. He was also incredibly irritating to listen to.

28. "The New Kid" I was so mad at Devon for involving poor, innocent Mick in his horrible shenanigans. The springlock scene was just so terrible, and the ending was so confusing? Apparently the corpse might be Andrew, but I find problems with this, especially since I don't know for sure if Jake was Eleanor or not. If he was, that's stupid, especially since Jake didn't act malicious at any point, only Devon did.

27. "Together Forever" I always mix up this title with "Alone Together." Most of this story is just stereotypical mean girl stuff, until the gore at the end. Everyone says Fazbear Frights are super gorey, but I didn't really notice most of it. This story though. This one actually made me sick (literally not figuratively), but the last paragraph is really good.

26. "Hide-and-Seek" I could not visualize the game. If it's as big as it sounds, why is it in a pizzeria? As someone with a lot of siblings, I could relate to the competitiveness between Toby and Connor, and the ending was a pretty good message against relapsing into harmful behaviors (at least that how I interpreted it). The majority of the story was too slow for me to be invested when I didn't care much about Toby though.

25. "To Be Beautiful" Putting aside my loathing for Eleanor, this story isn't that bad. It did have a bit of gore at the end, but it wasn't nearly as bad as "Together Forever." Sarah's struggle with self-image and popularity is relatable to a young teen audience. I was moved when she made up with Abby.

24. "Felix the Shark" The first half of the story is really good, but then it drags its feet. It's not interesting to read about a protagonist putting clues together when we don't know what half the clues are. The ending was really good though.

23. "Dance with Me" Kasey's attempt to start over being thwarted by her falling back into bad habits was really realistic. I was routing for her to redeem herself. I was a bit confused by the ending though. Was the girl dancing because of Ballora, or was she dancing because she wanted to? Are we meant to know?

22. "Room for One More" I felt bad for Stanley, but I don't understand the logistics of Minireena vore. How were they spread throughout his body? That's not how ingesting things works.

21. "Gumdrop Angel" Angel's family problems were very relatable. I don't have a step-dad, but I could understand her resentment toward Ophelia for the difference in treatment. Dominic crying for Angel was a really humanizing moment.

20. "Pizza Kit" I can't really explain why I like this one so much. Maybe it's because this story was always misrepresented to me in summaries/other rankings I've seen. Payton and Marley's dynamic is exactly like my dynamic with my childhood friend, so I found Payton extremely relatable. Her death due to her own guilt was pretty poetic.

19. "Sea Bonnies" Mott didn't do a single bad thing, and he did everything he should have. It makes me so mad that he got completely overtaken by the titular creatures for literally no reason, but I like Mott and his dynamic with Rory so much that I can't put it lower.

18. "Lonely Freddy" This dynamic is kinda reminiscent of Angel and Ophelia's, but Alec and Hazel have moments of getting along, which only makes the ending more tragic. I felt so bad for Alec when he realized how badly he had messed up with Hazel.

17. "The Puppet Carver" I like how the portions of Sage's book reflect on what's happening to Jack. I don't know if Jack actually died, but it's compelling to me either way.

16. "Fetch" All the technical, scientific talk went completely over my head, but the concept was good enough, and Fetch was an entertaining enough antagonist that I can forgive it.

15. "The Man in Room 1280" I hate the lore implications for this, even as a denier of Stitchline games, because the personal hell explanation makes way more sense than a nightmare. Regardless, I really liked Arthur, and I especially liked his dynamic with Mia. It was also fun to read about the nurses trying to kill an unkillable patient.

14. "He Told Me Everything" While Chris was kinda terrible, I found him entertaining. The last bit when he realizes the Faz-Goo is going to replace him was so good.

13. "Jump for Tickets" This one gets so misrepresented. "Why didn't Colton just steal the console?" "Why didn't he just get a job?" Did you even read the story? Both questions are answered. Anyway, if not for the ending with Aidan and Colton, this would be lower, but that little bit made my heart ache, so here it is.

12. "Out of Stock" No way! A protagonist who did something bad, got his friends involved, and mouthed off to his mom, but made up for his mistakes by being brave, saving his friends, and apologizing to his mom? In my Fazbear Frights? The happy ending was well-earned.

11. "Find Player Two!" This one was just really solid, and much needed after the first two. The realization that Mary Jo's death was Aimee's fault, but not in the way she thought, only for the same thing to happen to her, was just so poetic.

10. "Step Closer" You may have noticed that I like the exploration of sibling dynamics. I like how we get a bit of the family's reaction to Pete's fate. Maybe I'm just dumb, but I've never heard of an arm transplant. Unless that's just something that's somehow possible in the FNAF world.

9. "Blackbird" This is a lot like "Dance with Me," but I think it's better executed. Not much to say here; it's just really solid. Happy for Christine though.

8. "The Scoop" A very meta story, but I quite liked it. I can see why it was scrapped though. Relatable protagonist and a bittersweet ending.

7. "Friendly Face" "Another story where the protagonist is haunted by their guilt?" Well yes, but this one is different. This time, the "threat" is real, and the last paragraph was one of the best. I actually almost cried when Jack and Faraday died since there's so much buildup, which was helped by how realistically Edward's grief was portrayed.

6. "The Cliffs" Yeah I like tragedy, but I also love a happy ending. Robert and Tyler's dynamic was just so sweet. Justice for Tag-Along Freddy though. He was just doing his job!

5. "Bunny Call" Bob was a great protagonist. Despite being annoyed by his family, he emphasizes how much he still loves them, and he's willing to put his life on the line to protect them when he realized his mistake.

4. "The Real Jake" Jake, Margie, and Evan deserved to be a happy family together dammit. This injustice will not stand. I cried.

3. "Into the Pit" This was such a good start to the series. Someone you love being replaced by some unknown thing with only you knowing the difference is a terrifying concept. Oswald's family dynamic is also really well done.

2. "You're the Band" Timmy is so me. I guess I could basically stick my comments about "Into the Pit" here, just replacing "start" with "end" and "Oswald's" with "Sylvia's." I just like it more here I guess. Also hi, Mike.

1. "Coming Home" I called that Susie was already long dead from the start, but that just meant I didn't need to reread to get a full impression, since I was already considering both sides. I wish we got more stories about the other victims, because as it stands, only the girls have any substance to them. Gabriel, Jeremy, and Fritz are just names, and that makes me sad. Anyway, this story made me cry.

#fnaf #fazbear frights #this is mostly for my own benefit but if anyone else wants to see it here you go i guess

“I think friends can literally save your life,” Dolly told Ladies’ Home Journal, and I agree. In his book Nothing Personal, James Baldwin writes, “I have always felt that a human being could only be saved by another human being. I am aware that we do not save each other very often. But I am also aware that we save each other some of the time.” That saving doesn’t have to be sexual. There’s a particular sadness in thinking—as wonderful as sex is—that it’s the only kind of love that can save us. During the worst of the many wounds of 2018, if I hadn’t had my friends messaging me throughout the day and night, I would have folded. I can assure you I never fucked any of them, but the intensity of my love is not less than if I had. “You can’t make old friends,” Dolly and Kenny Rogers sang to each other in their 2013 duet. In so many ways I think of my friend Jess as a life partner, and she is just about the straightest woman I’ve ever met. Maybe sex is easier for people to understand than love. It’s more straightforward. Love is complicated and easy prey for nostalgia, which itself is not nearly as simple as it seems.

These days we think of nostalgia as a harmless walk down memory lane, but the term was actually coined in the eighteenth century to describe a unique kind of depression experienced by sailors away from home. It was seen as an actual ailment, and that seems correct. Think of the whole “Make America Great Again” thing...; think of people’s yearning for things to be as they were, when life was “simple.” A lot of forgetting is involved in this. In an episode of her 1970s talk show, Dolly visits noted monster, and former president, Andrew Jackson’s house wearing an antebellum dress and holding a parasol. She sings—and one can’t cringe enough—that de facto Confederate anthem “Dixie.” Later in the same show, she has musician Freddy Fender on to talk about Chicano music, and they sing “Before the Next Teardrop Falls” in Spanish. I wonder how much she stopped to think about any of that, because it’s not like she’s not a thinker.

Dolly herself, in her 1969 song “In the Good Old Days (When Times Were Bad),” ultimately rejects the notion of the past as preferable, although her songs are very often steeped in nostalgia, whether rosy or wistful. Still, the song states that you couldn’t pay her enough to go back and live like she did in her youth. This is pretty unequivocal! Yet when my grandmother lost most of her memories, what she retained were mostly those from her foundational years into young adulthood. Maybe we’re hardwired for nostalgia. I’ll admit that the last time I was in Los Angeles, riding down Fairfax or La Brea or La Cienega and seeing the dingbat apartment buildings with their tiny windows, my throat choked up, not because I miss being inside of them but because my body felt so far from it and yet those sights and sounds and all of it are actually inside of my body, somewhere, waiting to be reactivated.

“Is nostalgia even an emotion?” poet Becca Klaver wonders in a 2017 essay about the subject. “Maybe it’s a drive, like hunger or lust. It’s in the body.” She notes that “the past seems so easy to lose.” Remembering, then, is urgent work.

—Lynn Melnick, from “Do I Ever Cross Your Mind” (I’ve Had to Think Up a Way to Survive: On Trauma, Persistence, and Dolly Parton, University of Texas Press, 2022)

#lynn melnick #i've had to think up a way to survive #nostalgia #friendship #dolly parton #quotations #recently read #this book is EVERYTHING #i wanted to quote like half of it #but ultimately this was the part that hit me hardest at this current moment

1 for the ask game, for every fandom in your tumblr about...!

the character everyone gets wrong

tolkien: tough one. honestly, i feel like due to the nature of the fandom most people have defensible readings of most characters, even if they're not my own? to the extent tht people get characters wrong it's mostly by not thinking abt them very much! I'm inclined to pick Galadriel, though, bc she's also in LotR and so you get LotR fans thinking they can speak to first or second age galadriel, and then u get silm fans overcorrecting and ignoring third age galadriel entirely, and ofc there's the various Sexist Archetypes she gets shoved into by virtue of Being A Woman. actually a Lot of the women in tolkien are characters ppl get wrong a lot. elwing! míriel! indis! idril! lúthien! niënor! haleth! And So On Forever And Ever. this is again mostly due to Simply Not Thinking About Them Very Much tho

wktd: tbh the fandom gets the wktd girls pretty solidly. no real notes here. benefits from being a small fandom for a game with Three characters all of whose issues are pretty spelled out for you & constitute the central plot.

glowfic: im gonna be honest i do not feel confident to speak for other ppl's characters and state what ppl get right/wrong..! like idk man maybe im the one getting them wrong. ppl mostly dont like... write fic or make headcanons for each others glowfic in a way where the author isnt involved in having opinions about it? so if someone was mischaracterizing a glowfic character idk how i would know rly

hannibal: all of them @_@ no one understands this show like i do and it's a perpetual frustration... im gonna throw out abigail as my answer tho bc she sooooo often gets reduced to like, part of the murder family, which ignores soooooo much of her storyline and how much she did not (uncomplicatedly) want that. her relationship with will is So So Complicated but ultimately she likes freddie more than she likes will in some ways! and at least back when i was in the fandom ... ppl dont get that or just treat it as like, a flaw or misunderstanding to be corrected.

tma: ooooo this is a tough one. honestly the fandom was big enough that it's hard for me to say No One in the fandom got characters & in a lot of cases there was the question of like, does the fandom not understand X or do i just not seek out very many fics abt X... e.g. i havent read any tma fic that got georgie very well but also i havent read any georgie-centric tma fic! kind of a skill issue on My part rly!

mcelroy + polygon content: oh this is a trip down memory lane. everyone writes taako very few people write taako well. i'm not a taako fan and instead had Cares About Less Popular Characters disease but i did feel for taako enjoyers for this. i didnt really read polygon rpf so i can't speak to that side of things.

poetry and short stories: i don't think there are rly characters Everyone In The Fandom gets wrong for this tbh. like thats just not rly a coherent thing

the untamed/mdzs: SONG LAN...... i am not even a big song lan fan im a xuexiao stan first and foremost. but good lord. man has like 2 character traits and the ppl writing fic for him cant even remember those! also lwj but with the disclaimer that i have a very specific read of novel!lwj that just doesnt rly apply to untamed!lwj. which most people are writing for. i guess this is also true of song lan but i have more of a sense of "if you care a lot about song lan you should do your due diligence in hunting for scraps of characterization" whereas caring about untamed!lwj and not reading the book is like. yeah okay fair enough. to me.

tgcf: ooooh. hard one. my immediate instinct is mu qing bc i follow the tag and have to read way too much mu qing slander but i have in fact read good mu qing fic.... might stand by that anyway tho. the tgcf tag is like 50% mu qing slander by volume and it makes me sad. mu qing get behind me bby i'll protect u ;-;

dream SMP: hahaha. ha. what character DOESN'T dsmp fandom get wrong. it gets tommy wrong it gets techno wrong it gets phil wrong it gets puffy and niki and hannah wrong it gets dream wrong it gets purpled wrong it gets quackity wrong it gets sam wrong it gets schlatt wrong it gets karl wrong it gets george wrong it gets wilbur wrong it gets LITERALLY EVERYONE wrong. constantly. the only times it doesn't get someone wrong is when it's forgotten that they exist at all (this is about the eggpire but it's also about eryn and fundy and jack manifold and i'm sure many many others i'm not currently remembering). im giving the prize for Getting It Wrong to phil, though. i don't even LIKE phil. but everyone who writes him gets him wrong. they are just writing Generic Bad Dad or Generic Good Dad. he's got traits! i promise!

ok actually since this one's my current special interest i'll go a bit more in depth. tommy's rude & annoying & a fighter, he very very rarely has the sort of fawn response ppl write. techno is funny but he's got emotions and he is usually acting based on those emotions; if you're writing him in s1 he's less based than you think and if you're writing him in s3 he's more based than you think. phil has traits other than being a dad and also if you can't accurately identify which characters he is and is not a dad to then you don't get to write him. puffy, niki, and hannah all have traits other than being women; no, "therapist", "girlboss", and "mom friend" don't count. purpled is not particularly a Manipulated Minor TM, he's an amoral mercenary, he's kinda fucked up by isolation but he's more like punz than he is like tommy or tubbo. none of quackity, sam, and dream are one-dimensional characters whose only trait is Sadistic Abuser but also if you write them without acknowledging that they're sadistic abusers (with the exception of writing about early dsmp/before The Horrors) then you're doing it wrong. same goes for schlatt but with the addition of "he should not under literally any circumstances talk like he's got a tumblr". karl's more of a bitch than that. so's george. wilbur is more of an asshole and less of a creep than that. i could go on literally forever the dsmp fandom gets every single character wrong & it is my burden to be right about all of them u_u

As funny as it is that there are now multiple ongoing plans to beat/kill Eclipse, I really do hope that they act as complements to each other rather than inadvertently complicating or completely destroying/negating any of them.

Also, I am sad that Golden Freddy pretty much just confirmed that Moon is never going to get any of his memories back. I do hope he eventually gets the magic back, at least. And I am honestly surprised he didn't know about it before Golden Freddy came into the picture, given what we just learned about the star. Though that does explain why Nice!Eclipse hasn't been able to finish theirs--he/his Moon probably missed the deadline for locating the object that forms the star's base.

And KC probably will be able to help with the technical knowledge involved, but he might not be able to help with the magic part. Or at least not the casting of such--it really depends on whether the spark is a mind/soul thing, or a body thing. Considering how differently it seems to act and react with Moon, my guess is that for in-organic beings it is stored more in the body than the mind/soul, meaning that KC probably won't be able to do anything with it since he and Moon were still sharing a body when the connection was severed.

This does lead to some interesting possibilities where Lunar is concerned, seeing as they were also good with magic... but I can't actually remember if they did anything with it after they got their own body. Enough time and bonding had gone on that it is possible Moon just lit their spark offscreen or something, but the show is notoriously inconsistent with some of their internal lore, so it might just be handwaved.

Case in point--Golden Freddy was apparently already aware that Moon lost his memories even though he really shouldn't have had any idea about that. Breaking free of what Eclipse did or no, I am pretty sure that the only ones aside from Monty, Foxy, and Moon's immediate family that actually know about that is Gregory. And I think also Lizzie? Maybe? But considering that Glamrock Freddy walked away from that one confrontation thinking this was still the same Moon as before, I don't think he knows. And I don't think Eclipse would have had any reason to include knowledge of Moon's amnesia into his perception twisting.

I think I missed something :( what's the problematic stuff in the doc that you mentioned in your answer to the last ask?

i honestly don't know where to begin...my biggest disclaimer is: please, keep an open mind.

i really enjoyed the documentary, it was good! i laughed, got emotional, teared up at certain points. but the babygate part...it was quite heavy. the doc is in chronological order, and the kid appears in 2020 and then in one short scene during 2022. it's not even 15 mins but it's FORCED. it's way too in your face.

what i find problematic is the way they've been exploiting that kid ever since before he was born. yeah his biological family should be behind bars but louis is also responsible for many things. the main one being: he's a consenting adult (millionare!!!) and the kid is a 7yo that is used for more money or to keep up a narrative.

i think louis' closet is NOT an excuse for having brought the kid into the documentary, yeah they want to portray him as father of the century but it could have been done in so many other ways that didn't involve exposing the kid to all that shit, nor him kissing the kid on the lips not once, not twice but THREE times. people (even other larries) will try to gaslight you by saying "he also kisses his sister on the lips!!" yes, and? does that make it okay? not only him but his team are aware that HE IS NOT THE FATHER OF THAT KID, at what point did they think it was a good idea to make him kiss the kid on the lips? i don't care if they ""get along"" (which is debatable, it doesn't seem organic because it isn't nor like him or freddie were comfortable) it's still something i cannot and will not ignore. fuck, the kid even looks at the camera several times and you can see it's not NATURAL, it's scripted and forced.

i'm so god damn tired of other larries not wanting to call him out for his questionable actions, defending him and excusing him as the victim 100% of the time. i am a larrie and will not stop being one, i love them both equally, but i REFUSE to defend every single one of their mistakes. they're human beings, they make mistakes, and as such sometimes they need a reality check and need to be called out. i AM AWARE that they have contracts, they're still in the closet, they still have to do many things they probably don't want to do. but so many things in that documentary (regarding the stunt) were unnecessary, many things that one would think he could have said "you know what? this is crossing a limit. this is beyond what i can stomach".

fuck, he even brought his late mother into that shit, talking about how she would have loved to truly meet his son...knowing full well that she deleted all pics regarding the stunt from her instagram before passing. those type of things don't sit well with me at all.

the amount of larries i've seen mentioning how the scenes with the kid were "cute", i'm sorry did they forget all the bullshit? what the stunt entails? what they're doing to that child? the point of those scenes is to manipulate the audience into thinking he's the best father for that kid. the fact that it's even working on LARRIES worries me if i'm being honest.

like i said and will continue to say a million times: I LOVE HIM, i liked the movie, i'm so fucking proud of him. but that doesn't mean that i'm not angry and disappointed because i don't even know what they're doing anymore. some things i refuse to ignore or excuse him for.

it hurts, i seriously am sad and upset and i've been crying a lot since i saw the movie. but staying silent about it is even worse. i'm excited to see him in a few months, but RIGHT NOW? right now i need to take a small break, especially from social media.

#anon #louis' movie #i'm deeply sorry for the long rant #i'm aware that i wasn't able to explain myself as i would have liked #i can't find the right words to truly make people understand the way i'm feeling and why #i hope my answer makes sense in a way #fandom discourse

Thoughts on iDragged Him

OKAY. Finally got to watch the latest ep. I must say, the wackiness of the episode felt familiar. I commend how Season 2 really settled in as a continuation of the old show while keeping it refreshing. There were three plots going on but they all wove nicely towards the end.

First of all, I am enjoying these Carly x Spencer sibling episodes. I feel that their bond is an important character relationship from the og show that still has a lot to explore on, especially since Sam isn’t in the revival. The flashbacks to young Carly and Freddie were absolutely hilarious, but a part of me wishes that Sam could’ve been in at least one flashback. Also, while the flashbacks were indeed helpful, I’m quite sad that continuity and consistency over the timeline of when Freddie met Carly has vern broken. To add, it bothers me that young Carly and Spencer don’t look like young Carly and Spencer. But you know, I’ll take it as the characters imaging how they look like since the flashback actors are obviously older now.

Second of all, I appreciate how Millicent drove a plot with Freddie again. One of Freddie’s best character arcs is how he is handling being an adoptive father. The transition from “you’re not my dad” in the pilot to “dad” is something heartwarming to witness. Not to mention, Carly and Millicent seemingly getting along from little moments where their plots crash is a treat. Millicent’s spirit is quite similar to young Sam’s, so I can see why Carly could get along with her apart from being her best friend’s ever-so-adored adoptive daughter. Wishing to see more from her.

Third of all, Harper’s plot. Between the three stories in the ep, hers was definitely the natural B-plot. The Shays’ plot and the Benson-Mitchells were a bit more woven at first, but towards the end it tied well together. I could see how this could be a start to exploring Harper further (and I hope the writers continue to do so). Her character has so much potential and as a huge Legally Blonde fan, the references were TO LIVE FOR. There’s more to Harper than what we already have so I’m hoping we get to know her more!

Finally, a little update on my thoughts about the Creddie development. Like what I mentioned, it was nice to see Carly get along with Millicent. I mentioned before that I really want Millicent involved for Creddie to get together and I don’t know... It could go down that route after hints from this ep. Adding up to this, we slowly get to see more of Carly and Freddie’s friendship as the eps pass by. Even if their plots aren’t really the same, from the last episode, I can see that they’ve been more open about being candid with their iCarly-related concerns/thoughts. These then mesh with their conversations as two childhood friends talking about non-work concerns smoothly (such as using childhood memories to describe Spencer’s competitiveness). More to see from them but this isn’t the ep for me to go in-depth.

Overall, the episode was enjoyable! It had the mature tone of the old show and had the opportunity to let every character shine. I’m sad we haven’t gotten an explicit mention of Sam or a flashback with her, but that’s okay. I know she’s in the characters’ hearts. Excited to see more from the show and I can’t wait to see what the last few eps will tackle.

P.S. Raoul the limo driver is so entertaining! Hoping he actually comes back again HAHAHA

just sent an insta dm to someone i met through sugar to beg them to play dnd with me….

help me dude

if she gets pissed or lets it slip that i asked her to join the party i might have one angry swiftie who emotionally traumatized and abandoned me to hold back

i’ll send most of the party to hide out by my car so i can get them out once i hath defeated her, but the dragonborn stays because she bites in combat irl.

okay MAYBE she’ll join. she’s got all my nerd interests. and our party might get our own room considering how much we hate the rest of the club and we’re the sponsor’s favorites for just being dweebs who aren’t bigoted so that’ll be rad

but if this shit goes wrong???

i’m dead.

anyways

band practice went well. the new guitarist fucking SHREDDED on the song we started today so maybe he’s won me over. and he started a battle with us during practice that lasted even after in the group chat, where he beat me at my own star wars reference and our drummer caved and joined his side bc she’s into him. traitor.

last night i had a dream where i found three stray kittens and took them in, but i woke up after naming only two of them. a black one and a brown tabby, the calico went unnamed. i went to waffle house with my sister / hive mind member because i’m all tore up over sugar today for some goddamn reason and told her how i’m sad the third one didn’t get a name. the two i names were ruby and freddie, like rancid’s ruby soho and freddie mercury. when we left we saw two cats in the parking lot that looked like freddie and ruby, so i guess that’s their names now.

anyways

i don’t know why i miss her so damn much. i mean i do. i was fucking in love like the pathetic queer i am. but everything i hear about her is awful. she believes that shifting bullshit on tiktok, and had a big revelation that she told the hive mind about. she’s like woah i’m really disconnected from reality because i want to live in a universe i create on a piece of paper so i can control absolutely everything and nothing is real but it IS because i say so and it’s ruining my life and also i’m no longer vegetarian but i’m hiding it from everyone.

and according to my other best friend, she keeps crying randomly and shit. i do really think she doesn’t know how to be without me. she needs someone who can remind her that it’s okay to need things, and she dropped me in favor of standing by a bigot and now i’m not there to do it.

fucking SUCK IT.

you ruined my goddamn life and somehow i know i’d still accept you back in in a heartbeat if you really needed me. i listened to a song that i like today and just started crying. it was never about you to me, but now i don’t have a choice. everything is about you and i can’t stand it. you abandoned me. you’re a selfish motherfucker who will never have the balls to love someone who loves you back. you get icked out by people being affectionate to you. you just like playing your little game of “ooo this tension reminds me of that one book about the student who fucks her teacher. it’s like really romantic” when there are actual people involved. sorry i’m not on your game board anymore you avoidant and apologistic bastard.

001: this way up ofc // 002: kate and lisa :D

this way up

favourite character: shona even though she is spineless least favourite character: it used to be vish but after s2 it might actually be richard 5 favourite ships (canon or non-canon): charsho, charaine, braine, S1 raine, aine/alina character I find most attractive: charlotte character I would marry: charlotte character I would be best friends with: brad, maybe? he's the most grounded, he's funny, he likes drinking, he'd make me exercise and keep me in check a random thought: i literally have random thoughts about twu every single day lmao but i guess the latest random one is my headcanon that shona's contact in charlotte's phone goes from 'Shona O'Keefe' to 'Shona :)' to 'sexy yoda' to 'Shona' an unpopular opinion: WHERE DO I BEGIN? we'll be here all fucking day. my biggest one is probably that freddie is hot (chris geere my love) and that he is a good character and that cutting him out in s2 was a disastrous decision. i stand by my belief that the MAIN reason why shona and vish's relationship in s2 feels so stupid and meaningless is because freddie is no longer involved in the plot. aine and freddie's relationship in s1 directly parallels shona and vish's, and aisling completely shit the bed on giving either relationship the development or conclusion it deserves my canon OTP: charsho forever, charsho deniers drop dead my non-canon OTP: braine most badass character: charlotte for giving it to shona and telling her what's what most epic villain: aisling bea for the s2 fuckery vish in s1 for being a genuinely compelling and complex interesting character, this passive-aggressive, manipulative, self-centred Nice Guy character; aasif absolutely ate pairing I am not a fan of: vish and shona for obvious reasons. also s2 raine because what did the pod people do with richard? character I feel the writers screwed up: RICHARD AND VISH. i mean WHERE DO I START. i already did a long ass tumblr post on how mad i was over richard in s2. "i can't stop her talking" be fucking for real favourite friendship: aine and etienne character I most identify with: s1 shona. forever worried about the people she loved, stressed and harried, quick to anger, ambitious, snarky, protective, gay character I wish I could be: chien. she's a hilarious little asian spitfire, like is that not the dream?!

kate x lisa

when i started shipping them: properly after watching mw in cinemas in august 2020 my thoughts: i have been obsessed with them for two years what else is there to say?! i blame sharon and kst what makes me happy about them: they're so cute together. their relationship is just... in canon... enemies to friends... the endless potential... what makes me sad about them: they are not canon and never will be. also a movie ship and for a movie that will never get a sequel so i only have 2 hours of canon content of them things done in fanfic that annoys me: there is not enough fanfic of them to be annoyed by anything, but maybe making kate anything but a lesbian. things i look for in a fanfic: there is not enough fanfic of them to be picky!!! my wishlist: at this point i just need kst and sharon to be dating pls who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: nobody lmao they're endgame i mean... ugh... knife to my throat... ruby and lisa, sarah and kate my happily ever after for them: settling down in a quiet neighbourhood, domestic happy peaceful life with frankie
