I noticed this tiny detail that made me feel kind of sick about Hunter. (It’s about his scars and abuse so if that stuff is triggering don’t read this)
In Labyrinth Runners we see a bunch of students with injuries that could left scars,
Tumblr media
But thanks to healing magic these students fine,
Tumblr media
Before Thanks to Them we knew he had at the very least a scar on his face and his ear was nicked. In Thanks to Them there were a lot of other scars revealed. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We also know that Hunter was most likely abused physically by Belos based on how he flinches a lot when he moves around him, 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is also more obvious in Any Sport in a Storm
Tumblr media
So it’s clear that he’s probably been hurt by Belos physically at least once. Probably more based on the number of scars. But he shouldn’t even have so many scars if healing magic can make injuries like these simply disappear. Even if Belos didn’t necessarily cause these scars to exist, he denied Hunter medical help. Which means Belos probably didn’t allow Hunter’s injuries to be treated properly, despite there being literally no reason not to. He has the whole Healers Coven to help him if he wants as well as the Emperors Coven, which practices all sorts of magic. The Emperors Coven I’m sure is full of healers who are prodigies let into it because of their ability. 
It’s a small detail, but it is really telling of how abusive Belos was to Hunter.

Michael Kaiser — Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy
PAIRING: Michael Kaiser/Reader WORD COUNT: 1.3k TYPE: Angst, Post-break up WARNING(S): Don't read if you're sensitive to medical stuff, also tw for KAISER-TYPICAL MELODRAMA
“Are you fucking kidding me? That just sounds made up.”
“Sir,” the doctor, who’s been having to deal with Kaiser acting like the hospital is a debate club for the past fifteen minutes, says. Then he lets out a sigh and pinches the bridge of his nose. In all honesty, he does not want to deal with this. “While there’s an existing argument about the classification of broken heart syndrome, it is a real thing that happens. And you have it as we’ve deduced.”
“I don’t have health problems,” Kaiser says. Of course, those words fly out of his mouth without trouble even when Ness had to call an ambulance on him and everything, since he looked like he was on the brink of death today at practice. “Much less from bullshit reasons like a broken heart.”
“You don’t need to take it literally. That’s just the name. The trigger for the stress varies from case to case.”
Kaiser hopes his defensive statement didn’t reveal anything too personal, and decides to throw off any suspicion by staring down at his lap while frowning like a kid who got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. At least the doctor doesn’t seem to care because he’s not prying for unnecessary details. Not yet, anyway.
“For how long have you been ignoring the symptoms?”
“I haven’t been ignoring anything,” Kaiser says.
Sure, he was dizzy a few (many) times and short of breath, and disregarded it. And while he can sense the tightness and pain in his chest each time, a recurring physical and tangible ache, Kaiser interprets the experience as some kind of metaphor for the figurative stabbing he was a victim of. The arrhythmia is a natural indignant response to whenever your irritating face pops up in his imagination, since you’re the perpetrator.
All this over some shitty break up. While it’s stupid for someone whose career is in sports to shrug off such obvious signs, until today Kaiser never truly thought it was serious enough to warrant such an overreaction from his body. You shouldn’t have this much power over him. He’s going to kill you next time he sees you for doing this to him.
He’s deep in denial and the grave he’s been digging with his stupid lies is shallow in contrast, inefficient. Can’t even deceive himself.
“It’s most common in people over fifty.”
Kaiser rolls his eyes. “Thanks. I really needed to hear that.”
“What I’m saying is, I assume you’ve been ignoring this for some time and it escalated to a bad attack. So, do you recall if you’ve gone through severe stress recently? Anything traumatizing even, either physically or mentally? When was it? If you could be exact, that’d be helpful.”
Traumatizing? Traumatizing? Is this man fucking kidding him right now?
Kaiser stares at the doctor as if he’s the stupidest person alive. Forget a person, he is a bug for such a suggestion. Through grit teeth, he relents, “There was something two weeks ago. By the way, it wasn’t traumatizing! That’s ridiculous.”
What’s even more absurd is the notion Kaiser wouldn’t know how much time has passed with perfect accuracy. Fourteen days he hasn’t been sleeping well, hugging his pillow and crying like a loser, cursing you, wanting you back, both a worshipper and a heretic.
What was he feeling at that moment, when you broke things off? Was it overwhelming anger which got him to this point? Though he’s been reliving the moment over and over, Kaiser still can’t identify it. Just something intense zapping him through his veins, a devastating shock, a surge of adrenaline. But surely it was resentment at your audacity to throw him away like disposable trash? He doesn’t like the thought that he’s been so pathetically sad, he got sick because of it, so this is what he’ll go with.
Thinking about it is enough to make him start picking at the skin on his neck like he’s trying to peel the ink off. It’s almost vile. At least he retains the common sense not to squeeze it in front of a medical professional who can send him away to a psych ward with ease.
The doctor, too, looks at Kaiser like he is an insane person. Good thing they pay him enough for this — otherwise, he doesn’t know how he’d deal with having a strange man with a bizarre haircut give him attitude over his diagnosis when it should be reserved for his barber or whoever is responsible.
“Two weeks ago, okay,” he says, writing it down. “Lucky for you, this is temporary and reversible unlike most other things we checked you for. You’ll be fine in about two months with the treatment.”
“So, like I thought, it’s not a big deal. I can still play football, right? Don’t need to lay off or anything?” Kaiser asks.
The doctor sighs. Again. He wants to measure the circumference, thickness and density of Kaiser’s skull. “You’re not listening,” he says, clearly exasperated, but still trying to exert patience. “Your heart is weak and not functioning properly at the moment. You can’t immediately jump back into living the way you usually do. It’s still serious no matter what you say and it can cause complications.”
Kaiser makes an annoyed expression like this is all one big inconvenience rather than a threat to his quality of life. “Are you serious? You’ve got to be shitting me.”
“I’m honored you seem to think I’m a hilarious comedian, sir, since this is your nth time asking, but it’s not the case,” he says levelly.
“Don’t get clever with me.”
A sharp inhale through the nose and the doctor’s back on track, maintaining a feeble grasp on his inner peace, at least enough not to snap. Then, after this brief recollection, he reaches out to grab something, then holds it up. It’s a picture that looks either like an abortion-to-be or a black and white photo of lasagna… maybe. “This is your heart.”
Kaiser almost forgot about the ultrasound or whatever since he was strung out and sedated- relaxed throughout that whole ordeal. At the sight of it now, always theatrical, he decides the best course of action is to wrinkle his nose and say ‘eww,’ even though he’s not squeamish. But treating the matter seriously means admitting he has a problem, and he can’t have that.
The doctor pretends he can’t hear anything and points at the relevant area with his finger to illustrate the crux of the matter better. “You have apical ballooning. Do you get it? Even if it’s temporary, you can’t treat it lightly. So-”
Kaiser tunes out the rest of the explanation. Blah, blah, he could harm himself, very original. His gaze is stuck on the echocardiogram, though, and this time he’s nauseous for real, the tiniest bit. It strikes him as particularly ugly and deformed. Organs are repulsive to begin with, anyway, but this… thing is his, and he’s seeing it now. In any case, nothing so disgusting is worth loving or treating with care.
Is this how you’ve come to see him? What does Kaiser look like in your eyes? Ugly and maladjusted on the inside? Someone who likes laughing at other people’s misery, but can’t take even the slightest puncture? So out of touch with his emotions — and of his own volition —, he’s started experiencing them in the most visceral way possible. His desire for you: torment, a disease.
Would you find him dramatic? Maybe, but at least you’d make him laugh and smile and anything else his troubled mind has decided he needs at the moment, from you alone. Doesn’t matter, though. He’s not privy to that kind of thing, not anymore.
There’s a sting in his eyes and Kaiser wipes away his tears with a hasty swipe, though a few more stream down his cheeks. He doesn’t even know what he’s crying about again.
The doctor observes the display with the distanced apathy of someone who’s watched people die and shit themselves.
He gets discharged with a prescription and elaborate instructions on how to go about his physical activities until it’s deemed he’s fully healed at the later check-ups.
Great. Pitiful.

What's funny is that Y/n's probably having a good day while all this is going on

MCU Men During Your First Trimester (Pregnancy Headcanons//Pt. 2)
MASTERLIST // TAG LIST REQUEST FORM
Requests are open!
A/N: You can, in fact, find out the gender of your baby as early as 14 weeks, but for fic purposes, we’re going to pretend like the ends of these headcanons are somewhere around the very very beginning of the second trimester-ish. Just go with it. Suspend your reality. You’ll be fineeeee. 
Link to Part 1 Part 3 Part 4
Tumblr media
Frank Castle:
This isn’t Frank’s first rodeo, but it’s all very new to you, so he’s patient with you as you start to experience symptoms. 
Frank insists on being a part of everything and listens intently when the doctor explains what you’re going to have to do until the second trimester, even though he’s heard all of this before. 
One morning your morning sickness is so bad that you think you might actually be dying, but Frank sits with you on the bathroom floor, rubbing your back and holding your hair up when you start vomiting again.  
Your body starts to change, but Frank is constantly reminding you that you’re beautiful and how strong you are for growing an entire human inside of you. 
Frank gives you glasses of water throughout the day because he knows you forget sometimes 
You wake Frank up at 3 a.m. one night because you’re having some serious cravings 
“Frank, if I don’t get some Doritos in me right this very minute, I think I might actually die.” 
He goes to three different stores before he finds some, buying the biggest bag they sell.  
You start taking way more naps, but Frank doesn't mind. When you fall asleep on his lap, he runs his fingers through your hair and thinks about how lucky he is to raise a child with you. 
Towards the end of the first trimester, the doctor tells you that you’re having a girl. Frank is beyond ecstatic because he knows it will look and be like you, and you are his favorite thing in the world.  
Tumblr media
Matt Murdock: 
Matt is a walking ball of anxiety, but he’s doing his best to be supportive.  
You know Matt is worried that he won’t be able to be as good of a father because he is vision-impaired, but you reassure him that the baby will always know that he loves them.  
He also has a literal 360 sonar in his head like that man will be able to do anything and everything for that baby, just not while he’s in public. 
You don’t experience morning sickness, but you get the worst migraines you’ve ever experienced in your life. 
It’s a good thing your partner doesn’t need the lights on because you spend a solid three weeks doing everything in the dark.  
The first time you ever experience a mood swing, you snap at Matt for asking you if you want to go for a walk. He immediately bursts into laughter and you’re soon to follow.  
“I like the feisty you.” 
“Shut it, Murdock.” 
When you go to the doctor for your first trimester ultrasound, your doctor’s pregnant (excuse the pun) pause has Matt on the edge of his seat.  
“There are two of them in there. Twins! One boy and one girl!” 
You very nearly pass out when you hear that you will be having not one, but two babies. 
When the doctor leaves the room, Matt reveals that he thought he heard another heartbeat, but he wanted you to be surprised.  
You’re overjoyed that you get to have both a girl and a boy, because now you’ll be able to physically see the piece of you and the piece of Matt that created your family.  
Tumblr media
Billy Russo: 
You successfully avoid Billy for weeks, but when the doctor asked if you knew of any illnesses that run on the father’s side of the family, you decide you don’t want to risk the baby’s health by avoiding Billy. Even if he was an orphan, he could be dealing with an illness or something that he hadn’t told you about.  
You call him one night, vowing to only ask him the one question and hang up. 
He answers on the first ring, asking if you’re okay. 
“I know you didn’t know your family, but do you know of anything the baby might inherit from you that the doctor needs to know about? 
“I’m coming over. Please open the door when I get there.” 
You say okay, because it’s Billy, and you miss him.  
You awkwardly stand in the hallway with him as he looks you over.  
“I am so, so sorry. I know I handled the news terribly and I know you feel like I’ve abandoned you, but I haven’t, and I won’t abandon our baby either.” 
He doesn’t want to do the same thing his parents did to him my poor damaged baby. 
“How do I know I can trust you, Billy?” 
“I’ll show you. You’ll see.” 
Billy makes a concerted effort to see you at least once a day. He’ll bring you coffee (de-caffeinated) in the morning sometimes, or when he has a late night, he’ll stop by with whatever you happen to be craving that day.  
He apologizes for missing your first doctor’s appointment, but he promises he’ll be at the rest of them.  
He’s constantly on the phone with Frank, asking him about “baby stuff”.  
You can tell that he’s nervous about it, but he’s trying his best.  
He even starts emailing you links to different cribs/stuff for the nursery and asking your opinion on them. 
When it comes time to find out the gender of the baby, Billy is fidgety and anxious, tapping his foot on the floor and running his fingers through his hair repeatedly. 
When the doctor reveals that the baby is a boy, the room is silent. After the doctor leaves, Billy lets the tears he’d been holding back fall.  
“What if I fuck him up? What if he’s like me?” 
“The fact that you’re worried about that means you won't, Billy.” 
Tumblr media
Bucky Barnes: 
This is a very high-risk pregnancy, and Bucky is taking it very seriously. 
He won’t even let you cook dinner anymore, claiming that your rest and health are the most important things right now. 
“Bucky, I am more than capable of showering by myself.” 
“I know that, Doll. I’m just here for the show.” 
He’s already picking out baby names that he thinks you might like, but you’re hesitant to set anything in stone before the second trimester.  
You watch the calendar as you get closer to your second trimester, praying to the universe that you don’t have a miscarriage.  
You can see how excited Bucky is, and you don’t want to break his heart by losing the baby.  
Bucky can sense your unease, and he tries to reassure you that no matter what happens, he’ll love you ‘til the end of the line (I had to, don’t freaking shoot me okay???) 
When you’re two weeks away from the second trimester, you start to feel sharp pains in your stomach. Bucky rushes you to the hospital, where they stick you with needles and run all types of tests to figure out what’s going on. 
You cry into Bucky’s chest, apologizing for getting his hopes up. Bucky won’t even let you finish your apology, reminding you that you’re doing a very hard thing and that he loves you so very much. 
The doctor tells you that your baby is fine, but that you’re not drinking enough water, which was causing severe stomach cramps. 
“In other news, your baby is a boy.”  
Bucky is over the moon, and vows to you that he’ll never let anyone hurt you or the baby. 
Tumblr media
Peter Parker (Tom Holland): 
Peter honors his promise and starts taking on odd jobs before and after his classes, slowly but surely building up money for when the baby comes. 
You continue your semester and job as planned but start visiting the campus clinic instead of an independent OBGYN when you have to make doctor appointments, because they offer services for college students at a reduced cost. 
Peter probably reads every baby book ever written in preparation for your pregnancy and the birth. 
One morning you start to cry when you realize that your once favorite breakfast food, aka poached eggs, repulses you now.  
Peter is so confused, but hugs and kisses you anyways because he loves you.  
He eventually moves into your apartment, claiming it was bound to happen eventually.  
You’re worried about how much the actual birth is going to cost, but Peter says he knows a guy who knows a girl who can help with that.  
Peter gently suggests the name “May” if the baby is a girl, and you blame the pregnancy hormones when you start to cry over how beautiful the sentiment is. 
You both decide not to find out the baby’s gender until you give birth, because you want it to be a fun little surprise. 
Your last week in your first trimester is celebrated with pizza and a bottle of (non-alcoholic) champagne. 
“What if our baby’s a boy? What are we going to name him then?” 
“I don’t know, Peter Jr.?” 
“Peter, I am not naming my child Peter Jr.” 
End Note: i'm so sorry but i would fold so fast for billy anyways! i think im going to do two more parts to this: one where reader is in their second/third trimesters, and one where reader gives birth and how the new daddys are with their newborns. baby name suggestions would be great thank youuuu

Implied Rape / and SA in WC
For fuck sales I'm sorry, but people who think that rape and sexual assault don't exist among warriors are complete morons. Somehow you can fathom the idea of pedophilia and grooming, and genocide and such other topics in the books, but someone's rape is where it's pushing the lines and that it's a stretch. You people are actually weird. So as a sexual abuse victim, I'm going to give my perspective on this because I'm actually sick of it. 
To start, I want to say that rape will not always be outright forced. Coerced consent is rape. Pressured consent is rape. Befriending women for motives beyond an actual relationship and for just sex is rape because you are essentially leading through a process of desensitization, manipulation, and Coercion. And to add on using physically abuse to scare your victim into fulfilling your needs and this applies here considering Tom does just that.. Quite literally, it is a premeditated sexual assault. 
Marital rape is a thing where they pressure or coerce their spouse into doing sexual deeds despite them not wanting to. In this case, Tom played the nice guy and pretended like he loved her until they got into a relationship so he could get sex out of her. Yes. These cats have sex because, quite literally, it is implied every time it says, "I'm expecting kits" or "I'm carrying kits." 
They know what sex is. Though it's not explicit in nature,. He acts lovingly with the intent to desensitize her to the idea of him not being a bad person. His motive is to get kittens out of her because he can control her with them and only reveal his true colors once it happens. Tom had  power over  both turtle tail and Bumble, not only because of how much larger he was than them but also because they were in a marriage where she loved him too much to see him for what he was until after he made his intentions clear. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Turtle Tail: "How do you think it happened? I made a mistake. I missed you all so much. Tom seemed strong and friendly, I thought I could move on and make a new life with him. But when I realized I was expecting kits, he... he changed."
Gray Wing: "If he hurt you..."
Turtle Tail: "Oh, no! Tom was still friendly, but he didn't want to make any plans for the kits with me. And Bumble seemed uncomfortable any time I mentioned them. But neither of them would admit that anything was wrong."
 - page 19 of Thunder Rising 
I'm sorry, but this text seems very rapey. Call it a stretch if you'd like, but I could give less of a fuck, honestly. Tom had shown his true colors after he realized Turtle Tail was pregnant because he knew he could use their kits against her to control her. He kidnapped her for the purpose of controlling her and would've abused their kits regardless if Turtle Tail did not come back. Tom threatened not to tell Bumble and stated that he was beating her because Turtle Tail left. 
In chapter two, when Turtle Tail returns, she notes that there is no father of her kits and that she does not want him involved in her life. She acknowledges that he is abusive and a bully who physically assaults her. In chapter two, when Turtle Tail returns, she notes that there is no father of her kits and that she does not want him involved in her life. She acknowledges that he is abusive and a bully who physically assaults her. When Thunder meets her, he speaks of her as if she means little, bashing her for taking away their kittens and claiming that she "stole them." He thinks little of his children as only pawns in possession and control over his wife.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I’m sorry, but if you still fail to see how a man who befriends a woman, who then goes on to spoon-feed her false facade and then uses the mate title to coerce her into having sex with him as not being rape, you are not very smart and lack genuine analytical skills. Yes, I get that Warriors is very terrible at hinting at the obvious, but this was a very clear message of domestic violence, coercion of rape, and premeditated sexual assault. It’s not a stretch because it is the literal reality.
 To say that rape makes the series “too dark” while at the same time knowing that there are multiple groomers and pedophiles running around in the series is ridiculous. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And let’s not forget, slash, he used to be apart of the One Eyes group, and he was promised Star Flower as a wife. He physically restrains her and holds her down, getting on top of her and holding her captive while Clear Sky does absolutely nothing. And directly after that, he gets uncomfortably close despite being told to stop, licks her cheek, and is extremely creepy about it. 
Unwanted touch is sexual assault, guys. Put on your thinking cap, because I know you’re smart enough to think. I have seen some imply that Yarrowleaf’s relationship with Nettle is implied to be a case of rape, and I disagree considering the circumstances in which the Shadowclan cats were living while in the kin. And imposter Bramblestar is hinted at with how much he kept her confide in her den and his overrate affection for her. He’s a canon groomer of Shadowsight and Bristlefrost so I wouldn’t put it past the Erin’s to try this shit.

I think another thing that bothers me about the way Fizz is written in season two is not only him losing that bite he had in Ozzie's and his robotic version of him, that him being disabled and portrayed as weak that need babying and needing approvel from everyone is dishearting.
I have various disabilities myself, more so developmental than physical but seeing a character like Fizz, who lost so much and likely had to learn how to walk all over again and make adjustments to his life due to said disability yet still make a name for himself and becoming a successful celebrity on his own (tho I'm sure having two powerful Sins around your finger helps) is kind of empowering. That and his snark and 'eat shit' attitude who'd gladly roast and drag your corpse around after a sick burn, even to those that are a danger to him was so much fun plus also added the fact he's disabled. I love that chaotic gremlin man.
To take that away that part of him, to make him lose his bite not only to make him seem like the perfect victim of abuse but also taking away his agency as someone who's disabled is a slap in the face.
Hope this made sense I'm typing this on my phone.
Makes complete sense to me, when you’re handling a disabled character it has to be done carefully to keep the power on their side, and this series just failed and fell on its face completely.
I kept awaiting a big reveal that our ✨jester ✨was actually slippery and he was conning both of the king sins. Cause that’s what a jester does, laugh at royalty, hide criticism behind laughter, behind a fake show of submissiveness, represent the bridge between the working class and the monarchy, with emphasis on the peasant side getting their voice heard. He’s literally inspired by Beetlejuice after all. Remember how much of a trickster he was?? Not a “pillow princess” who says “pwease big daddy” can I go for walkies?
Like maybe a scene where Oz comes home one day, unexpectedly early and Fizz is preparing this extravagant three course meal for himself , then he sees him and drops a plate turn laughs nervously when he sees that he’s back. “Oh Oz..youre back…Ehehe…i er uh…took up a cooking class?” There’s also the fact he organises Ozzies schedule for him and without fizz it seemingly falls apart, he’s the real boss behind it all. Except he’s not.
Or maybe that Barbie wasn’t actually in rehab but was pedalling the Lord of sloth Belphegors drugs between hell and earth, while Fizz was selling off Asmodean crystals and most likely he gave her one. Hell, maybe even that Wally Wackford was after the factory assets of Asmodeus and used to be a member of their circus. I even had an idea in my head of this big Katie Killjoy scene where they do an “expose” on a clown imp illegally using the Goetia grimoire of a horny idiot of a Prince. “But forget that melodramatic nonsense—here’s a real Scoop!!” just more of Barbie and Fizz upstaging Blitzø even at committing crimes.
I’m excited to see what will be done with robot fizz. Because they’re definitely doing something with him…hopefully not just kissing Ozzie or something though.
And there’s a story for ya …but…no…they’re just his daddies whose approval means everything to him, and without at least one of them to reassure him and be proud of him, he literally says he feels like he’s just nothing. Nice one Viv. He doesn’t have two sins around his finger he’s wrapped around theirs and pulled along by their whims.
All we get about his recovery is “it was painful and challenging and I’m still mad but its ok because I have a rich boyfriend”
I mean seriously. He was only about what 7-8 years old and the star of an all imp circus that even royalty were impressed by, that’s all his talent nobody elses, he doesn’t need any boy, man, or blueblood to tell him that. But this series just worships at the feet of the rich.

Hi! To clear up some confusion because multiple people keep asking me this; “Who is the Emerson family?” Or at least a member of them TW FOR MENTIONS OF DEATH AND SEMI-VIOLENT SCENES
Let’s start with Mr. Emerson himself! John Emerson!
John is a policeman that usually either gets stationed in the neighborhood he lives in, or he goes around patrolling other neighborhoods in the town. He’s been in the police business for a while (years) and he likes doing it! He loves helping people! However he does have a side to him that can and will kill you (or at least seriously injure you) if you hurt the people he cares about, mainly his family. His immune system isn’t very great and he gets sick a lot around the flu season, which kinda sucks, but he refuses to not go to work, which kind of worries Mary (and Ryder as well). It’ll get to the point where Mary forces him to stay in bed, she will literally wrap him in a blanket to make him stay. He is very loyal (COUGH COUGH. @lord-of-the-bundle-of-sticks @todds-diary @that-fruitier-emo) and we love him for that. He taught Ryder basic manners and to actually respect women, despite most fathers at the time not caring about the latter, which is why Ryder is so insistent on teaching that to the other kids (island kids and daycare kids). Ryder really looks up to him, even after the island, although he’s more subtle about it after the island because he’s more reserved in general. Overall a great guy, I’d talk to him about my problems and he’d hug me as I rambled.
Next is Mrs. Emerson, Mary Emerson!
She is a saint I swear…and pretty…Beautiful even…Anyways! She’s a daycare worker, she made her own daycare because the others in the area kinda sucked in her opinion (discrimination issues among various types of people + “what about the poor people with children :( we have to help them somehow”) she will literally give discounts near the holidays please go to her daycare. Literally the most comforting person aside from Ryder himself. She doesn’t care who you are (and she might know who you ARE before you realize, in Ryder’s case…🏳️‍🌈) she will be there for you, it doesn’t matter how hard you breakdown, she will find a way to comfort you. She says that she doesn’t have a favorite child in the daycare, but she definitely does (it’s technically Ryder but he works with her so he doesn’t count) nobody knows who it is and the kids try to play guessing games, and everytime she leaves the room to do something, the children repeatedly ask Ryder who’s the favorite and he doesn’t know either, but he says that he likes Klaus a lot (@lord-of-the-bundle-of-sticks oc) and Ira (will reveal all of the daycare children soon enough, also Ira is they/them). She taught Ryder how to cook and somehow Ryder surpassed her skills in cooking, but Ryder always says she’s better, because he IS a mama’s boy and he can’t bring himself to make his mum sad ever. I just wanna hug her and melt hhgfssmhgh….Oh I love her so…💚💚💚 She’s my wife but also not- is there a way someone can be aroace and want to kiss a woman at the same time (I’m aroace and I really like physical affection it’s my favorite)
Lastly, my favorite little guy (he is 16, he is not little) Ryder Emerson!
Despite what all the kids think, he’s not actually an angel, he does typical teenager stuff (sneaking out at night, occasionally drinking because of Lust, and rotting in his room for months after the island! Y’know, totally usual behavior for teens please don’t rot in your rooms that’s bad for your mental health) and he might’ve indirectly caused a few deaths on the island, but we aren’t talking about that- He scarred Gluttony because he killed Sloth and Ryder obviously didn’t like that he bit Jack and Maurice out of self defense, and he might’ve smacked Roger on the head on the island at least twice…He got tired of them eventually. I swear he’s overall a good person, that island just really messed him up mentally and physically. In the fight between Jack and Ralph at the end, Ryder ended up getting scars from Maurice because Maurice slashed him with his spear, meaning to stab him (it was Jack’s command and Maurice was kind of a little gone). Speaking of the Merridew kid, he and Ryder are therapy partners/friends together due to their therapist thinking that exposed therapy would be a good thing for them, which it kind of was. Ryder got so much better after talking to everyone that survived on the island, even though he still feels iffy with some of them (Ralph, Roger, Maurice, Samneric all technically betrayed him in some way). His relationships with the sins (also @lord-of-the-bundle-of-sticks ocs) got so much better, although Gluttony’s was…Not good for a while, they eventually forgave each other in their own way, I’d like to say it started here, which I believe would take place a couple months after they got off the island: https://archiveofourown.org/works/52156768/chapters/131921551
Thank you for listening to my rambling, if you did.
Have a gallery of them, I really do love them…💙💚🩷 (I accidentally made it a timeline of events, oops)
This post was mostly for @cve-th3mvsic , but I hope this clears some questions up! ^_^
I will be linking this on my pinned post, just in case it gets lost in the massive amounts of posts I reblog and such.

G/tWAC Day 4: Favorite Scenes
Mild spoiler warnings for The Stranding, Blanket, and Clumsy
(Nothing that's a huge plot reveal- just quite literally spoiling some amazing scenes)
I want to have a diverse spread of author's but theres NO WAY I can talk about favorite scenes without bringing up @belethlegwen again.
One of my favorite scenes is Mel's first time meeting Edmund, Bravest-soldier-in-the-ranks, Miller. The scene hits so well- A giant woman washing up on shore, the general sentiment of unease, if not outright fear from The Watch...
Then theres Miller.
Even without ineracting with him yet, Mel notices he's a bit different than the other men- with just this overall lack of hesitation when getting nearer to her. Brother is straight grinning like the lil big goon he is.
Belle does such a phenomenal job setting the scene. The expectations set, and swiftly subverted, the way she describes his actions and voice just beautifully showing he just is not scared. The goofy chemistry between the two just so wonderfully cuts the tension of the previous chapters, but without fully severing it. Things still feel uneasy, but Miller (as well as the wonderful Lionus) feel like a reprise.
“They’ve even got a name for soldiers like me in the company!”
“Oh?” she asked, placing the empty barrel down on the other side of him, and then moving her hand toward the freshly opened one. The other two men had gone back for the last two barrels from the cart and were rolling them towards her at speed.
“Idiots,” - Chapter 5 of The Stranding.
JAFGSFLKH- here we witness the birth of The Idiot Brigade😭 Every interaction with that man just has me cackling.
---
Next up is the the short that is the Literal embodiment of AJFHLkfhkfh by @bittykimmy13 / @kendsleyauthor
Never has a scene made me want to bark so much as the blanket scene???? If you haven't read it PLEASE don't let me spoil it for you because this is the juicest fearplay spice- I physically cannot restrain myself from keyboard mashing when talking about this.
What makes the blanket scene so incredibly good is just this fun yet high tension game of cat and mouse between Micah and Everly. Its this playfully predatory flirting that just gets the heart pumping and the mind flustered, and it just all cumulates with Everly trying to avoid Micah catching her while she dodges his hand under the cover of a blanket- with Micah just giving in and crawling under the covers to get her??
I DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS BUT THAT VISUAL??? ASFDKJASJF
----
Lastly is an incredibly recent fic/short(?) (please let it be ongoing I love them your honor) by @clumsiestgiantess (Everyday I am thankful that my brainrot is apparently wildly contageous to @clumsiestgiantess) that just??? The perfect timing of the slightly angsty fluff?? *screams into a pillow*
Fen is a borrower who has been through some nasty events in the passed 24 hours (and frankly just in general) and is just trying his best. Alice is a human who's clear concern and care for others (along with her grades) is palpable. Together the pair have one of the most tender interactions I have ever read. Just FFHKFH- Its literal catnip and I want to roll in it.
“Are you ok?  You look sick.  If this makes you uncomfortable, I can put you back down.  You didn’t have to get on.”  It’s just like in the car — her blue-eyed gaze looking me over with genuine concern.  “I- I’m alright.”  She gently shakes her head.  “You aren’t, though.  You’re shaking.”  The gentlest pressure alights on my chest as a soft finger brushes up against it.  “And your heart’s beating really fast.”  Her touch is so soft — incredibly cautious like she’s holding something precious and delicate.  Maybe I am, to her.  It’s nothing like what I had imagined a human would feel like, nothing at all.
In a brief moment of weakness, my eyes tear up and I squeeze her finger closer, pressing my forehead against it.  It is absolutely terrifying thinking about where I am.  I’ve spent all my life believing it’s a place of certain death.  Why is it so comfortable? - Part 2 of this work of literal art
Just the word choice and pacing of this whole interaction? The dialogue is just so compassionate. And then there the action. GOODNESS. Alice taking her figure to his chest? FEN THEN TAKING THAT FINGER AND PRESSING HIS FORHEAD TO IT???
The line "Why is it so comfortable?"
I promise you- this scene made me audibly gasp.
The mix of such sweet and tender dialogue with that visual?? Gosh it had my heart racing like a lovestruck teen.
I highly recommend you all check these works (and these authors) out!

fanfic ask game
i saw this ask game i wasn’t tagged in so let’s do it 🤠 & i’ll tag whoever wants to do it as well
1. how many works do you have on Ao3?
27 :-)
2. what's your total Ao3 word count?
466,409 (oh cool i’ll most likely hit 500k by the end of the year 💪)
3. what fandoms do you write for?
currently pjo & once in a blue moon hsmtmts, but i have written for like 10-12 different fandoms in my life
4. what are your top five fics by kudos?
ceaseless eve 🌙 (a leo, nico, & piper quest + valdangelo)
camp triple pine 🌲 (a lawrusso summer camp au with fwb 👀)
talk to me, deep in the night (& i’d tell you something i never thought i’d admit) 🏕️ (a surprisingly non-smutty first caswen fic in which ricky talks with ej about how he works too hard, written in s3 era)
Cobra Kai/Karate Kid one shots 🥋 (fluff, humor, angst, smut…what it says on the tin 🤠)
he’s only here for one thing, but (so am i) 🔥 (valdangelo college au smut + camboy nico 👀)
(because i can’t tell a lie, i did skip over one or two stranger things fics on this list. i have complex feelings about them & keeping them up due to the controversy, but also abandoning them or deleting them…i’m sentimental, and i procrastinate lol. i’m glad a higher volume of people enjoyed them by nature of it being a more popular fandom, but i also feel like the kudos aren’t as genuine or earned as they are for my longfics in less popular fandoms for that reason. at least To Me. i hope that makes sense 🧍)
5. do you respond to comments?
i try to reply to every comment around the first week of posting something (because by then it’s an “old work” and it’s “weird” to comment on it, but that’s another post 😐). i still haven’t replied to the last of the ceaseless eve comments & i feel terrible, the sentimentality of it all overwhelms me but know i appreciate it 😭 i wish there was like a code word though that people could comment that lets you know if they want you to respond or not, because it’s hard to know if people want an author response or if it’ll scare them off yk
6. Which of your fics has the angstiest ending?
i don’t do a lot of angst, but when i do, i do (meaning i lay it on too melodramatically thick lmao) but i thought i’d give a list of some of my angstiest/darkest fics 🤠
the moonlace & the sunflower 🌻 (in which grover dies protecting a demigod, so the empathy link causes percy to pass away as well)
games long lost 🌳 (in which luke must drink annabeth’s blood for kronos’s reformation, it covers the dark lukabeth of it all & there’s some death)
the smallest casualty ♟️ (in which it’s slowly revealed over the course of a luke & annabeth chess game that the gods lost the war, and percy & friends have been subjected to dark magic experiments to make them compliant to luke’s fantasy)
rewired 🤖 (okay. i usually try to be humble or self deprecating or whatever but this 1400 word fic is an actual fucking masterpiece to me idc. it just came out of me and makes me physically nauseous to this day. showing this to my hypothetical therapist etc etc. oh wait what’s it about lmao—the concept of daniel rewiring his brain & morals to fit into silver’s desires. ft that sick sick silverusso dynamic)
7. Which of your fics has the happiest ending?
i have a variety of fluffy fics, but i’d have to say my happiest most sugar coated ending is—
who said anybody would? (a ej/gina/ricky road trip fic that literally ends with an ot3 picnic scene 😭 it’s just too much 🫶)
8. Do you get hate on fics?
i’ve gotten unwarranted criticism (i like to ask for constructive crit comments at the end if it’s like a longfic) that’s been surprisingly rude…i won’t say which fic but someone got so mad at one of my chapters they left a lengthy mocking crit comment and then stopped reading 😭 but that’s their prerogative, i hope they found something they enjoyed afterwards. other than that, surprisingly considering some of the controversial dark fics i’ve written…no sign of flames, so thanks! 😅
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
i have four different smut fics (hopefully a fifth if i can ever finish it up)…i fear they’re repetitive but also not really, they cover different fandoms and explore different kinks. i’m not really sure what to say about them, hopefully people find them hot ! or whatever !
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
i’m not a fan of crossovers currently, but my longest fic i wrote when i was 15 (it’s 97k i’m beating it someday 😭) was a crossover between sanders sides, voltron, miraculous ladybug, and gravity falls (doesn’t that feel like a kick in the gut lmao—did i mention i was 15? 😅)
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
not that i know of 👁️👁️
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
not that i know of 👁️👁️
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
i tried, myself and another author had a shared Google doc & everything…but we both just didn’t commit. i don’t think i’d work well with another writer…i don’t mind bouncing ideas around with a beta reader/editor (like @heavens-vault 🤠) but ultimately i’d prefer to write on my own
14. What’s your all time favorite ship?
it changes—it’s currently valdangelo, but the ones I’ve written the most over the years are: prinxiety (😐), lawrusso, caswen, and valdangelo. i’m excited to explore a bunch of other ships as i continue writing as well
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
oh gosh, i mean i hope i don’t have any like longfics in question…i hope i can finish + deliver on Ivory Rain, but i’m sure I’ll manage even if it takes a while. i haven’t really mentioned this a whole lot to “the public” but i have what i call a “scrap fic” i’m working on, with a bunch of like 800 word chapters i just kinda bounce around when i have time. the concept is really exciting but the execution still needs work, so i’m kinda seeing how that’s gonna play out, it might not be posted. i hope it will though !
16. What are your writing strengths?
i think i’m pretty good at characterization, good romantic moments with good buildup, and humor :-)
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
action scenes i hate you so much 😭 why do i insist on writing pjo fics when i can hardly write a fight scene
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
i should do it more, i hate that i don’t, especially considering nico being Italian and leo’s native language being Spanish. but I’ve used & been disappointed by Google translate too many times…perhaps I’ll find another way to translate to include that for more character accuracy
19. First fandom you wrote for?
actually i think percy jackson, i’ve come full circle. the first fic i posted was sanders sides, but i remember when i was probably nine or so i wrote with pencil and paper and stapled a book together with a hand drawn cover 😭 it was about a son of Apollo, a satyr, and a daughter of Demeter on a quest…so really, richard took some creative liberties from my hand written fanfic i think 👀
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
like the ships, it changes—I love all my fics, it’s hard to explain how there’s little fractures of me at different points in my life at any given time in my works. no amount of over-explaining could make anyone understand how i express myself through my character’s emotions and desires and fears and journeys.
at the moment, my favorite fic is CE. it just got completed, myself and others are excited for the sequel. i think all my pjo works in particular are pretty good, and of course i tend to shy away from my older works because my writing…probably wasn’t as good. but that just means I’ve improved, so that’s good.
that’s all the questions, but this was fun ! :-)

Rewatching Heartstopper for the fourth time, and making a list of my favorite things that I noticed this time around, and some things that i noticed now or before, and things that make me wonder:
-I wish for more Tori. 
-I really want to understand Darcy’s game with the dice and the trinkets.
-I had already noticed that, after Nick and Charlie first kiss and Nick runs off when Harry calls him, that when he’s in the room with Harry and his mates the light is very blue, very masculine, in contrast with the reddish pink light in the hallway as Nick walks back to find Charlie. What I hadn’t noticed is how Harry stands in the middle of the room with all the mates splayed out, like a mf gang about to pounce on Nick, which further symbolizes this disgusting toxic masculinity that Nick’s mates represent. (I really like how light is used so much in this show to tell a story).
-Tao says he wants to keep staying up to watch the Oscars every year, therefore Tao and the gang have stayed up previously to watch the Oscars, therefore Tao and the gang maybe saw Nick’s mom win the Oscar...? (Or maybe not, it was 2018, maybe their parents didn’t let them)
-The morning after the party, it’s sunday 21st of march, according to Charlie’s phone. That’s literally officially the first day of Spring. (I have been smacked in the face with symbolism).
-My favorite quote from episode 4: “Actually, when you think about it, there are 1200 people at this school, so at least a few of them are going to be lesbians.” “Maybe you’re a lesbian and you have no idea.” *confused in potential homosexuality* 🤣🤣🤣
-When Nick realizes that, if Charlie gets hurt, either physically or emotionally, it’s because of him. Because Nick is the one who persuaded him to join the rugby team, and it’s Nick who is keeping their relationship a secret.
-I’m hyper aware of Ben in every scene this time around. He was laughing and making snide comments whenever Charlie got roughed up during the rugby match, because everyone in their group was laughing and making snide comments. It is my theory that a part of him does like Charlie, in a very sick, possessive way, and that’s why he’s also hyper aware of Charlie at every moment. He’s just a garbage person who hates the part of him that likes Charlie, and is also deadly afraid of his mates finding out that he likes Charlie in any way. Ben is so pathetic, but what makes me sad is the fact that there are thousands of Ben Hopes out there. 
-Ben is also hyper aware of Nick all the time, since Nick knows what Ben did to Charlie, and is probably afraid all the time that either he or Charlie are going to reveal his secret. 
-It’s also the reason why he’s also, like the others, paying close attention when Imogen is asking Nick out, but in Ben's case his face is serious. He doesn’t care about finding out if Imogen and Nick get together, he just wants to know if Nick is going to agree to go out with a girl, because that would confirm that Nick is straight. Obviously at this point no one knows that Nick and Charlie are secretly together (except Isaac, who literally walked in on them being cutesy just moments before), but Ben has probably seen them being too chummy, too joined at the hip (because again, he’s hyper aware of Charlie all the time), and he’s probably started wondering if Nick might not be straight and might have a thing for Charlie, and that would piss Ben off because he didn’t choose to end things with Charlie, Charlie chose to end things with Ben, and what if he is now going out with rugby king Nick Nelson? Ben would also probably like to know, or witness, the reaction of their friends if Nick declined going out with Imogen, the kind of teasing he would be subjected to, if he would get teased for potentially being gay, and that would just confirm Ben's worst fears, because if rugby king Nick Nelson can’t get a pass for being gay, then what hope is there for Ben, who is less masculine, less sporty, etc? And it would just validate his shit behavior toward Charlie, in this essay I will- 
-I hadn’t thought about it, but when Tao gives Nick an ultimatum at the bowling alley, it gives me major Lucius vibes in that scene in Our Flag Means Death, when he tells Blackbeard not to be a dick about Stede’s treasure hunt.
-I’m confused at how nobody ever gets told off for using their phones at school except for Elle on the first episode… is that a thing? Is it a continuity error? Why did the teacher pick on her for no good reason?
-I love Darcy’s ‘i knew it’ look after Nick tells her and Tara about being with Charlie. How dare they make her second-guess her gay intuition…
-i LOOOVE Charlie’s little excited dance when Nick leaves after asking Charlie out on a date to the milkshake place. It’s like he’s finally allowed to be excited about it, like It’s real! They’re telling people! They’re going on a date! It’s real!
Tumblr media
-What on earth is all over Darcy’s room floor??? And she’s just lying there amongst all that, texting with one hand… who texts with one hand when they clearly have their other hand available? Darcy, you’re such a weirdo, I love you.
-I know that Nick was probably trying to excuse himself and the others from setting Elle up with Tao at the milkshake place, and to sneakily divert her attention from that, but I LOOOOOOVE that Nick is the one that tells Elle that he and Charlie are dating. He probably knew that Elle would be cool, but I still think it was really brave of him, because she’s Charlie's friend, and they’ve had limited interactions, but he just starts telling her. That’s how excited he was. 
-And Charlie’s little face when Elle asks “You two are together???” and he goes “Yeah!” And her squeal of “CHARLIE! I’m so happy for you!” (By the way, I love Yasmin’s voice, the way that she speaks, she sounds so sophisticated all the time). (Edit: i particularly love the way she says “well your arms are basically twigs” 🤣).
-Every time I watch that scene, tho, I feel worse for Tao. 
-The whole scene with Darcy and Tara in the little room is so cute. I want more of the two of them. 
-I keep looking for Charlie’s parents in the crowd at the school concert…
-The look on Charlie’s dad’s face when Charlie gets out of the car at the movie theatre, and he watches Charlie meet up with Nick on the rearview mirror... I feel so bad for the dad, he must have been so afraid for his son when he was going through all the bullying (I don’t remember if he canonically was aware of all the bullying, but his look would make me think that he did), and now Charlie is hanging out with boys from the rugby team, what if he gets bullied again? He already doesn’t know the full story of why Charlie came out of Harry Greene’s party in tears, and now he’s going to the movies with the same people? Poor dad, being a parent of any kid these days must be so tough, but especially a gay kid who was outed in an all-boys school where homophobia seems to run rampant... 
-And again, everything with Ben this time. When he’s standing with the group and they see Charlie and Nick arrive and he just jokes with the others. And then when he’s asked if he’s friends with Charlie and he just immediately and very disdainfully says “I don’t even know him”. But then during the movie he’s not even paying attention to the movie, his eyes are fixated on Nick and Charlie and he sees them holding hands, and his assumptions were correct, Nick and Charlie are together... And I think it’s hilarious how he follows Charlie to the garage, practically breathless from catching up with him, also fuming because he just saw himself that Nick and Charlie are in fact together, and Charlie doesn’t want to tell him the truth (because why would he tell him? What does Charlie owe to Ben? Nothing! But Ben insists on making anything that has to do with Charlie his business), and after questioning him insistingly to tell the truth, then he immediately starts spewing venom and just being in denial overall. If only he knew how pathetic he was... (oh wait, that’s right, Charlie lets him know later, ). 
-I failed to pay enough attention the previous episodes, but in that scene at the movies, when Nick and Harry are arguing, and Harry is being ‘funny’, all the boys laugh... except for Sai, Otis and Christian. I hadn’t noticed it before. And then when Charlie and Nick are in form and Nick says that he doesn’t want to hang out with his friends anymore, Charlie says that some of them are not bad, but Nick says that even they stood by and did nothing. They being Sai, Otis and Christian. It makes me glad, to know that perhaps they’re going to included a scene in the next season, like in the comics, where those three apologize to Nick for not doing anything about Harry before, and saying that they like Charlie, and the whole ‘good mates’ debacle and “why did you have to say that? He could have come out to us!” and “I’m sorry!”
-I love how Nick is sensitive and mature enough to realize on his own that his mates are garbage, even the ones that seem nice (I think it’s very valuable for him to point out that doing nothing also makes you an accomplice of bullying), and that the way that they behave and follow along with Harry’s bullshit, and the way that even they make fun of Harry himself when Harry’s getting his ass kicked by Tao with a weaponized beanie, is proof that they are just a hive mind, and not really his friends, just guys that Nick hangs out with because he felt like he had to, because they were all in rugby and in the same year and that’s it. I love that Nick figuring out his sexuality and being with Charlie also helped him figure out that he deserves to surround himself with better, actual friends, friends that he can confide in, share secrets with, people that he can turn to and that can turn to him for support and advice. I think Nick looking at Charlie’s Instagram and seeing all of his pictures with his friends made him realize that there are definitely better people out there that he could be friends with, and he starts out with Tara and Darcy and even Imogen. And Nick is even the one who tells Elle about him and Charlie. But... the biggest problem will be Tao, and if he can get Tao to trust him even a little bit, he’s golden. I can’t wait to see Nick and Tao becoming friends/team Charlie in the next season.
-No offense to Tao, but he is very dense. He was so set on hating on Nick that he failed to see the very obvious heart-eyes Nick gets whenever he looks at Charlie… I’m also shocked by the way he also is very oblivious to the heart-eyes that Elle gets when she looks at him… (But then again, he is so dense that he can’t even see the heart-eyes HE gets when he looks at Elle… come on, boy…).
-That fight between Tao and Harry is iconic. The beanie smack. Priceless.
-Again, more Tori, please.
-Nick saying that Charlie was nervous about telling Tao about the two of them because Charlie obviously really cares about Tao’s opinion, clearly implying that Charlie (and probably Nick too) is worried that Tao has such a set negative opinion of Nick that he will never accept Nick. Like I said, if Nick can get Tao to trust him, he would be golden. 
-Seriously, more Nick and Tao, too, please.
-”Don’t let anyone make you disappear, Charlie.” More Mr Ajayi, please. 
-I can’t wait to see Tao and Elle happen next season. 
-The Photo Booth scene gives me life.
-So I always cry at scenes when a kid comes out to their parent(s) with a positive result, and Nick coming out to Olivia Colman is definitely no exception. But by the third time rewatching it, I’m definitely getting worse, my eyes started welling up even before Nick had sat down… I actually got emotional from the moment she says “you’re looking very smiley today, did you have a good day?” Of course by the end of the scene I’m a mess…
And that’s it for now… until the next rewatch, which, given how things are in my life right now, might be very soon.

More Practical Advice On How To Be A Shapeshifter
I’m learning to follow inner impulses more and more. So when I woke this morning, eager to do a blog on shapeshifting, that’s what I did. This post is the result of that impulse.
My last post on shapeshifting gave a great overview. It detailed what’s needed, in a general sense, to accomplish the feat. That post described current beliefs most people possess. Beliefs which make even thinking about shapeshifting as a practical reality pretty much impossible. However, nearly everything we want IS possible. Including becoming a shapeshifter. We’ll talk more about the possibility in a bit.
The previous post also covered identity. We humans believe we are these bodies. That belief prompts other limiting beliefs. Beliefs also making shapeshifting impossible.
For example, a belief in medical science gets in the way. That’s because it implies the impossibility of certain things. It implies, for example, that the body can’t spontaneously regrow limbs. Or that germs and viruses are what makes us sick.
Germs and viruses are cooperative components to illness. But there’s a lot more to how bodies manifest dis-ease that medical science doesn’t account for. Let alone believe in. That’s another blog post, however. So instead of going there, let’s get back to the topic at hand.
The last post looked generally at beliefs. Let’s look more at beliefs as we consider what’s required to become a shapeshifter.
Fear, it is the mind killer
Frank Herbert, creator of the Dune franchise, was spot on. Our emotions point to what’s possible. A Positively Focused practice examines emotions in great detail. That’s because they’re crucial for being able to expand beyond human confines.
Humans enjoy great potential. We can experience freedom like no other being. We can experience freedom with no limits at all. But our beliefs limit that freedom. This morning, for example, I woke with a clear understanding of this. I realized, for me, the very act of working a job limits my freedom. I’ll write a blog about that another day. But this realization showed me something important. It showed me how our daily lives reveal how deeply we disbelieve how free we are. How we live as a society constantly reinforces our self-imposed limits.
Emotions like fear help us understand those limits. But if we don’t know what they tell us, we don’t get the understanding. Fear tells us something really important. Essentially, it’s saying, the “mind” (intelligence, your infinite potential, our Broader Perspective) is being limited by whatever belief currently is active in us and triggering fear. Fear literally tells us we’re limiting mind-potential.
Fear, therefore, doesn’t kill the mind. It tells us WE’RE “killing” it. Making it dead. Putting it in a box. Putting it in bondage. Bondage created by whatever thought(s) we have active in the moment we feel fear. This is a crucial thing. Understanding emotions and using them for their intended purpose makes being free a lot easier.
Our freedom has no limits. Anything is possible. Even shapeshifting.
Tumblr media
Anything happening in dreams is possible in the physical
When we understand we enjoy unlimited freedom, we forget about being free. Instead, we focus on adventure inherent in freedom.
Imagine freedom as a newly-discovered planet. A planet with no boundaries. The more we explore it, the more there is to discover. That’s how freedom is.
And so when we accept that is freedom’s nature, a boundless playground, then it’s easier enjoying the adventure freedom inherently possesses. When we arrive at that orientation, where we focus near-exclusively on the adventure of life, then we’re ready to consider a wider scope of what’s possible.
This is why the Positively Focused Way focuses so much on emotions and, later, in advanced levels, on dream work. Dreams aren’t what people think they are. What they really are are journeys we take each night. The experience we call dreams are experiences our unbounded Broader Perspective constantly enjoys. Yes, even as we in our earthly bodies have whatever limited experience we have.
In dreams we’re unlimited. We can do nearly everything.
In a Positively Focused practice we reconnect with what’s happening in dreams to bring that awareness and possibility to consciousness. Dreams are the unlimited adventure I described above. Everyone enjoys them. Even those thinking they don’t dream.
The real fun starts when we bring that unlimited adventure to our waking lives.
Conscious awareness of freedom and adventure
Becoming aware of what’s happening in dreams, then bringing that awareness forward into waking reality is key to shapeshifting. Can you see how?
That awareness, the feeling of unboundedness, is key. It’s what’s needed to even begin believing in shapeshifting as a possibility. If we don’t believe it is possible, it can’t happen. So belief is key too.
Both freedom and adventure are hallmarks of worlds we experience while “dreaming”. Only we’re not “dreaming”. That word cheapens what we’re really doing while the body sleeps. While the body sleeps, what we’re really doing is living the full potential of all we are.
Making that conscious in our awareness while awake, we can then realize anything we experience in the dream state is possible in “reality”. After all, what is “reality” other than a really vivid dream?
That’s another key element to allowing shapeshifting into our experience. Freedom and adventure are hallmarks of life and the dream world. We are completely free. The adventure comes in when we accept our freedom as a given. Then focus on boldly exploring how free we are.
When we settle in that consciously and aware, only then can we allow into our experience what the majority believes impossible. And when we do, we become the example, which sets others free. You see how that happens, right?
That’s the purpose of the Positively Focused Way. We become examples others can follow. And in doing so, we become deliberate agents of expansion. There’s nothing better to live one’s life for.
Contact me if you’re ready to deliberately play your part in this wondrous, joyful path. Let’s get you started.

Wanna see me overanalyze the Portal Musical Part 2
Tumblr media
Okay look- I used to not like Geekender’s interpetation of Glados and while I haven’t lost all of my old gripes with them, there is so much I appreciate the more I rewatch the musical.  This is basically me going over how “I’m Alive” and portions of “Poor Unfortunate Subjects” give Caroline some sense of justice after all the shit she went through.  
If you want the part 1 of my analysis on the Portal 2 musical about the three corrupted cores, then here it is!
OKAY BEFORE WE START I FEEL THE NEED TO SAY- While the interpetation wasn’t perfect, GOD WAS GLADOS AND ESPECIALLY CAROLINE SO GOOD IN THE MUSICAL.  She is so underrated and I mean that with my whole heart.  The clothes designs, the actoress playing completely opposite characters and absolutely crushing both of them (Fuck you, the actoress is amazing and did her best with a monotone yet also emotional robot, her singing is also fantastic) and JUST AH- I LOVE HER
anyway
Before Glados, there was Caroline.  She was basically the braincell of Aperture all things considered.  She was the backbone and heart of Aperture, making sure everything ran efficiently and was Cave’s logical anchor.  While she was peppy and unassuming, in the 2021 Musical Reunion it was stated she was also very complicit in Aperture’s more dangerous and morally ambiguous actions.   So she’s definitely not the oblivious dainty pretty assistant stereotype that many in universe and in reality percieve her to be.  There’s a reason why she’s Cave Johnson’s assistant and why he wanted her to be CEO of Aperture after he died.  (I mean in “Trouble in Black Mesa” she is literally seen threatening a random woman with a portal gun over Cave)
She also has a backbone for herself as well!  Standing up for herself on numerous occasions, even against Cave himself, because she knows her worth and knows how she should be treated.  
So after the whole Rick fiasco, you could tell she’s sick of constantly being undermined and demeaned by her male coworkers and why she was already done with Cave the moment she stepped through the door.  Him going on about how important she is to the company, even though the company rarely shows gratitude for that importance and all she does.  Cave interuppting her whenever she spoke up was definitely the nail in the coffin before the “I need you!”. More nails are hammered in with the fact Cave literally GROPED CAROLINE’S THIGH AND IS SOMETIMES SHOWN TO TREAT HER LIKE AN OBJECT THROUGH THE SCENE (through snippets of dialogue and choreography).  Good forshadowing for her becoming Glados against her will and Cave’s betrayal.  But ugh.... I just feel horrible for her.  She was in love with Cave because he was the only one who gave her any damn respect but by the end he just treated Caroline just as bad if not worse then her coworkers.  
Even if its not forshadowing and is literally the reveal, the- “Please listen to me, sir, I don’t want this,” and Cave just refusing Caroline’s own autonomy, it’s just... ugh.  Great metaphor for toxic relationships but just... ugh.  
(I need to make a whole new post about Cave in the future cuz he is... Certainly somebody)
Caroline is the purest example of a victim of toxic relationships and abuse, especially regarding people who are woman identifying and presenting.  The only person she thought she could trust and love, stabbed her in the back and killed her.  
Now we have present day Glados and while she doesn’t have memory of being Caroline, when you rewatch “I’m Alive” and “Poor Unfortunate Subjects”, even though it’s the very beginning you feel a sense of vengeful justice for Caroline.  
In “I’m Alive”, she’s shown to have a physical “Force-Like” control over Chell, Wheatley and the corrupted cores.  Having them being stripped of their autonomy so they can bow down to her, worship her, treat her as the important badass figure she always was.  Of course, this is probably a metaphor for the repeating cycle of abuse but the other thing is the people she inflicting this control on in narative 
Chell, somebody who killed her and destroyed the facility
Wheatley, somebody who would later take over the chassis/the facility and shove her into a potato
Rick, somebody from when she was Caroline, being one of the coworkers who would hit on her and infantilize/demean her.
Fact, being one of the scientists who dragged her to be hooked up to Glados
Then Space, who arguably did nothing to her, but also doing nothing and being a witness is also a very shitty thing to do to someone since he was there when Rick was hitting on her. 
These are all people who have or she considered to have wronged her in the narrative.  So her rising from literal ashes and doing the musical equivalent of “DO NOT FUCK WITH ME” has me cheering for her throughout this scene.
In Poor Unfortunate Subjects, the way she has the corrupted cores act as her henchmen and them *specifically* being scared shitless of her is just *chefs kiss* karmic justice even though no-one remembers anything.  Also the “TEST US GLADOS PLEASE” is hilarious and also very satisfying seeing how they treated Caroline before they were shoved into computers.
SO YEAH- Glados and Caroline are amazing and deserved so much better and i’m glad she can finally do science in peace without anymore bullshit

Nintendo Indie World Showcase 4.19.23 First Impressions
Mineko’s Night Market
I feel like I’ve heard of this one
This looks so fucking cozy
The island is adorable and looks like a blast to explore
Fucking government agents want my magic fat cat.
My Time At Sandrock
Didn’t My Time At Portia have some kind of controversy? Something about the Voice Actors?
Something about these textures is bothering me. The video looks blurry.
So Sandrock is meant to be taken literally then.
PENGUIN WOLVES? WHAT? What is this design. It's so dumb.
Plate Up
I didn’t know Yogscast actually published games, I thought they just promised YogsQuest and then don’t.
So this is Overcooked but with roguelite elements and Singleplayer.
Quilts And Cats of Calico
CATS
CAT
CAT ON LAP
I’m not familiar with the board game in question.
This looks fucking adorable.
Seems like a basic puzzle game but with a kitty coat of paint, and I’m down for that.
Customizable cats!
Rift of the Necrodancer
Guitar Hero is much weirder than I remember.
Correction, Rhythm Heaven is much weirder than I remember.
A Little To The Left DLC
I’ve heard about this one but it doesn’t quite seem like my thing.
Shovel Knight Puzzle Pack DLC
What.
I know nothing about this game and I’m having trouble figuring out what this game is from the footage
Cult of the Lamb: Relics of the Old Faith
I promise I did not know about this when I wrote that essay about this.
I didn’t mention it in the essay but there’s little to do post-game Cult of the Lamb so hearing they’re adding more is a good thing.
Animal Well
This looks like some kind of spooky metroidvania.
Interesting aesthetic but I feel like I’ll get sick of those scan lines.
Crime O’Clock
They call it a puzzle exploration game but it looks more like a mystery game. Or maybe a Where’s Wally/Waldo thing.
Time bending is always fun, so that’s something interesting.
Teslagrad 2
Electromagnetic physics puzzles and Scandinavian mythology and Nordic folk tunes? Holy shit.
Also that is a charming art style.
Shadows Over Loathing
Not for me but if I know anything about this developer, this one is going to be an instant classic.
Wait holy shit sudden Eldritch ‘Horror’ reveal .
Art Deco Mobsters versus eldritch horrors is a new one.
I wonder why there’s such a delay before the physical release
Blasphemous 2
I have heard so much good about their games.
New full-animation film there? Presumably the opening cutscene.
I don’t remember if Blasphemous 1 is a roguelike or a Metroidvania, and this footage isn’t helping.
Oxenfree 2
I’ve been wondering about this game for a while now because I do not understand how they could do a sequel to the plot of 1, and it turns out the answer is so much weirder than I ever could’ve guessed.
Looks almost horror, which does not surprise me.
That walkie-talkie system is going to have some spooky shit with it.
The line through the logo worries me
Paper Trail
Oh that’s cool as fuck. I love that so much
Little Kitty Big City
Stray, but not post-apocalyptic.
Untitled Cat Game?
Chants of Sennaar
Dope aesthetic, interesting puzzles(?)
Brotato
Another Vampire Survivors-like
Escape Academy
Oh they’re releasing the rest of it I guess
FNAF Security Breach
Do I even have anything to add
Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
Jet Set Radio!

Uncle Clay AU: Bullying Outtakes
The bullying thing actually had several different options for how it could go. 
It was always more or less the same; Ingo being bullied, Emmet getting into trouble for getting into fights defending him, the uncles finding out somehow.
But the how and even some of the details for the actual struggles the twins faced varied.
Was it just teasing and cruel jokes, or was it physical?
Was their teacher new and someone idealistic and didn’t notice the bullying, or was their teacher something out of a school horror story and directly contributing to it?
Did Clay or Drayden witness some of the bullying as a way to find out, or did the twins or someone else tell them?
These were all options I had, and while I’m happy with the one I went with, I’m sharing the other three possibilities below.
MASTERPOST
VERSION 1
There’s a class trip to a museum 
-Drayden is there as a surprise lecturer for the kids
--It’s a surprise for all the kids. He didn't even tell the twins.
Emmet had been told he could only go if he didn’t get into any fights for a week.
-‘Conveniently’ Ingo got sick the week before the trip after hearing that
--[He may or may not have poisoned himself a little]
---[[He did, and he’s very grounded when Drayden and Clay figure it out]]
----[[[Emmet is also furious, since Ingo didn’t let him in on that plan]]]
While at the museum, Drayden is chatting with a couple of the employees in a semi-hedden nook, when he sees Ingo getting pushed around by some other kids, literally, while one of them roots through his backpack
-A group of four or five other kids have him literally cornered
Before Drayden can step in, though, Emmet races around a corner and shoulder checks one, shoves another, grabs Ingo’s backpack, and then stands in between Ingo and the bullies with his fists raised
“You really never learn, do you?” one of the bullies sneers before laughing and giving a ‘distressed’ shout of “MISS L!! EMMET’S DOING IT AGAIN!”
-As if on cue, one of the kids punches himself in the face hard enough to leave a mark, and a girl starts to cry
The boy’s teacher comes around the corner and gives a disappointed and weary sigh
-“You were doing so well last week Emmet, why are you acting up now?”
--She’s not a bad teacher, just inexperienced, this is her first class as a full-fledged teacher. 
--On top of that, the bullies always act like the sweetest kids in front of any adults, and even other kids. Ingo and Emmet are their chosen targets, and are the only ones to see them for who they really are.
--So the stories on what happened are always a four or five against two, with the two being siblings who would obviously lie to protect each other.
---[[And also: New York School System 20 years ago.]]
Before she can say anything else, Drayden clears his throat and steps out from where he was somewhat hidden from view alongside the museum employees he’d been talking to
-All the kids freeze
--The bullies all go pale, and the girl instantly stops crying, as they realize they’re done for
The employees step forward and start to tell the teacher exactly what they saw
--Ingo and Emmet stare at Drayden in relief, before actually processing that he was there and go on identical face journeys of confusion and a bit of trepidation
---They knew he wouldn't be happy that they'd been hiding this
-The teacher is, naturally, horrified, and looks at the kids with something akin to betrayal
-The bullies are openly glaring/pouting at the museum employees
-By now some of the other kids and parent volunteers [including at least one of the bullies’ parents] hear the bullyès shout for the teacher and are present and hearing the reveal of the bullies’ true colors.
--Lots of kids are upset by this. Nobody likes discovering that people they  considered a friend were actively being cruel to someone behind their back.
Meanwhile, Drayden decides to forgo respecting the twin’s decision to hide their relation to him for once, because making sure Ingo isn’t hurt is his priority
-Ingo and Emmet share a look and simultaneously decide that they’re done hiding that Uncle Drayden is their Uncle
--They’re old enough now that they can tell real friends from fake friends
---…Also  they want to rub it in the bullies faces
----Ingo just straight up says something along the lines of "I told you it wasn't Emmet's fault Uncle Drayden!" pulling a face at Drayden "I said they started it!"
----"You did,” Drayden acknowledges, not entirely surprised that the twins decided to reveal their relation in this scenerio, “and I'm sorry for not listening when you said that, however 'They started it' is very different from 'they were bullying me and Emmet was defending me', Ingo. Have all of Emmet’s fights been situations like this?"
----The twins nod fervently and Drayden gives an exhausted sigh “I see.”
 The bullies, as well as several of the other spectators, freeze when they hear Ingo say ‘Uncle Drayden’ and turn to see Gym Leader Drayden fussing over Ingo’s injuries like a parent while Emmet hovers over his shoulder
-Their teacher also didn’t know he was their legal guardian, though the principal of the school did. It was on their records
 Naturally, the teacher apologises the the twins and Drayden profusely
Drayden still does his speech for the kids, with Ingo and Emmet as assistants, and then after the field trip ends takes them home straight from the museum and called Clay, who came over so they could sit the boys down and talk it all out
And all ended well.
-Until a week later when Emmet found out how Ingo had ‘gotten sick’ and told immediately told Drayden and Clay [to Ingo’s betrayal]
--And Ingo was grounded for a month
---For purposefully letting a Pokémon poison him. Repeatedly.
----Gee, I sure hope he never does that again. As an adult. In order to sleep or something.😉
These second two had some extra differences, primarily an added antagonist in the form of the twins having a Bad Teacher, detailed below for context:
On top of that, the twins’ primary teacher, Mrs. Beckham, was…not great
-She disliked the boys for some arbitrary reason
--Could be anything from ‘she hates twins for some reason’ to ‘one of them corrected her on something in from of the class’
---Maybe she just picks one student a year to be her scapegoat
---Just super petty, awful teacher
--She ignored the bullies, but not Emmet standing up for Ingo, which led to many phone calls home about him fighting
--She’d ‘lose’ their homework
--She’d let the other kids blame them for everything
---All in all, bad time for the Train Babies
Emmet and Ingo tried to tell Clay and Drayden in the beginning
-But sadly after getting a call from the school saying their kid got into a fight, most people don’t take “the teacher’s a liar!” as an explanation
--They stopped trying after the first few times, when it became obvious that their Uncles wouldn’t believe them
---Which hurt. A Lot.
Drayden and Clay knew something was up though, and it worried them
-Ingo had started to become quiet and withdrawn, sometimes not saying anything for days, and the spark in his eyes seemed to be going out
-Emmet was lashing out at school, was always angry at home, 
-And on top of that, both of them had several """missing""" assignments
-This version would probably led to Ingo and Emmet having trust issues regarding adults
VERSION 2
Clay at the school in his normal outfit to give a talk to an older, like high school age, class about career options
He steps out at lunch to grab a bite and on his way, he spots Ingo sitting against a wall reading a book
-Then some kids come over, steal his book, and start harassing him
Before he can step in, though, there’s a blur of white jumping out the window and Emmet is shoving the other kids away from Ingo and handing his book back
-Emmet was in Lunchtime Detention, and Ingo was very purposefully sitting under a window to the classroom he was in
--Clay gets a sinking suspicion that they’ve been missing something obvious about the whole Fighting Issue
Then the lunch monitor, who he recognises at their teacher, Mrs. Beckham, shows up
-And scolds Emmet, which is somewhat understandable, 
--But then she scolds Ingo? For causing a fight??
---That’s when he intervenes
----When Ingo and Emmet see him they freeze like deer in headlights
Mrs. Beckham doesn't recognize him as the twins’ uncle, just Gym Leader Clay
She tries to play it off, telling him [him!] that the boys [his boys!] are troublemakers, and that the other kids were just goofing around
-As if Ingo hadn’t literally been making himself small before the other kids came up to him, and hadn’t acted like he expected them to hit him!
--Ingo looks close to tears and Emmet is glaring at the ground with his hands clenched so tight that his knuckles are turning white
“Ingo, Emmet? Go get yer things.”
- “Sir! I don’t know who you think you are-”
--“I think I’m the man you told not two weeks ago that Emmet was attacking his classmates ‘fer no reason’, and didn’t tell that Ingo was being bullied.”
---Mrs. Beckham pales as she suddenly does recognize him
-“I mean it boys, I’m taking y’all home, git.”
--“Yes Uncle Clay.” “Yes Uncle Clay” *Emmet runs off, Ingo only walks a little away but Clay doesn’t notice because he’s death glaring Mrs. Beckham*
---A small crowd of had gathered as the kids saw Gym Leader Clay
----So several of Ingo and Emmet’s bullies just heard them call Gym Leader Clay ‘Uncle Clay’
Ingo and Emmet’s only friend, the child of the principal or something, recognizes that Clay is a Safe Adult who will protect Ingo and Emmet from Mrs. Beckham, and gleefully gives ALL the details she can remember
-Mrs. Beckham is pale as a sheet
-Clay is literally red and shaking with anger
“I am going to the office to check them out, and talk to the principal about this. Then I am taking my boys home. And you’d better believe that when Drayden gets back from that Dragon Tamer’s conference we’re pulling them out of this damned school.”
-Mrs. Beckham:”...Drayden?”
--“Yep, he’s their legal guardian. I’m just helping him raise them.”
---“You’re our uncle too.” Ingo says from behind him
----“I thought I said to go get your things?”
-----“Emmet’s getting them. He hides my stuff with his so the other kids don’t break it.”
------That is the last thing Clay needed to hear
Clay takes the boys out for ice cream and they talk
-“Why didn’t you boys tell us about this?”
-Ingo: “We did.”
-“Eh?”
--Ingo is very quiet, which Clay is now realising he should have seen as a bigger red flag than he did, and he can’t hear what Ingo just said
-“We did.”
-“Kiddo, I can’t hear ya, I need-”
-“We did!! I told you both she was lying! I told you the first whole bunch of times! You didn’t believe me!!”
More apologies are made, and then Clay takes the boys home
-On the way they stop to rent a movie that the boys had wanted to see in theatres, but not been allowed to because of Emmet’s “”fighting””
While the twins watch their movie, Clay collapses into a kitchen chair and buries his head in his hands for a while before phoning the centre Drayden’s conference is at
-Drayden’s answers the phone hoping it’s not something like “Emmet put a kid in the hospital.” 
--He changes his mind. He would have rather “Emmet put a kid in the hospital.” to “Ingo’s been getting bullied, Emmet’s ‘fights’ were all him defending Ingo, and their teacher has been emotionally and verbally abusing them”
Drayden goes home early and the twins find out when he arrives that evening, yanks them into a bear hug, and apologises for not listening when they tried to tell them about their teacher.
VERSION 3
The Uncles have to go to a Gym Leaders meeting and drag the boys along
-Normally this would mean a Day Out, but the twins are grounded
--They’re going to sit in an office during the meeting and work on all the homework their teacher says is missing
The meeting is at Mistralton Gym and to their surprise their classmate Skyla is there
-They try to hide, but Skyla sees them and is very confused at first
--Skyla never bullied them, but she stared at them and wrote stuff down a lot, so they both thought she was planning something
---Which she was, but not how they thought
----Skyla was A Girl on A Mission, and had been planning to follow the boys home to give their Adults the notebook
At Lunch Skyla approaches them, and pulls a notebook out of her bag
-She went to visit her grandpa straight from school, and in her school bag was her Notebook
--She tells them point blank to his face that she’s their classmate and their teacher is bad, with all the authority a nine-year-old can command
---Then she hands him the notebook with “I heard her phone you once and she lied. Emmet isn’t fighting the other kids for no reason, only when they bully Ingo!”
----Clay: “What.”
The notebook is very detailed
-Every incident is dated and timed with things like “____ did this, and Mrs. Beckham yelled at Emmet for it even though he was across the room”, “____ stole Ingo’s homework and copied it so Mrs. Beckham gave Ingo a 0 Ingo for cheating off him” and “____ punched Ingo at lunch and stole his sandwich, so Emmet pushed him over and took it back. Then Mrs. Beckham yelled at Emmet for taking ___’s food and made him give him his lunch as a sorry.”
-There’s even a section in the back where she’s written down each homework assignment the class got, put a checkmark if she saw the boys hand it in, and marked whether or not the teacher graded it/gave it back.
“Mrs. Beckham is a liar!” Skyla insists furiously, and Clay and Drayden both practically see an echo of a tearful Ingo saying the same thing, several times 
-Skyla used Tattletale! It’s Super Effective!
Meanwhile Ingo and Emmet stare at her in horror
-Mrs. Beckham has, at this point, convinced Ingo at least, that it’s his own fault
--The other kids wouldn’t bully Ingo if he’d stop being so disruptive [loud], distracting [weird], and rude [he’s not!]
---If Ingo weren’t getting bullied, Emmet wouldn’t be getting into fights
----If Emmet weren’t getting in fights, Uncle Drayden and Uncle Clay wouldn’t be so upset all the time
Clay and Drayen turn to look at the boys, and the moment the twins notice, Ingo runs off, panicked, and Emmet starts to cry
-The whole thing has been super stressful for both of the boys.
Drayden scoops the crying Emmet into a his arms and they go looking for Ingo
-Drayden doesn’t notice that he starts humming ‘When Truth and Ideals Clashed’, but he does, it’s instinct at his point to hum that song when he has an upset twin in his arms
--Emmet is 9, he has been in a super stressful situation for months, dealing with abuse at school and his Uncles being constantly disappointed with him at home, and was just crying heavily
---It’s been exhausting
----And now it’s finally revealed, he’s being hugged and hearing his uncle hum a song that’s always comforted him
-----By the time they find Ingo, Emmet is asleep in Drayden’s arms
Ingo crammed himself into a very tiny, dark place to hide
-Small enough for a child to get in, too small for either Drayden or Clay to reach him
--Like under a small stairwell or under a storage shelf
Once Drayden and Clay finally track him down, they have a hell of a time coaxing him out
-They start talking, trying to convince him they’re not angry that he was being bullied
--It’s hard to convince a child you’re not angry when you’re getting angrier the more they speak [just not angry at them]
---“I’ve been trying to be good, I swear! I stopped being loud, I stopped being weird. I don’t know what else I’m doing that makes them mad at me, but I’ll stop! Promise!”
---“I told Emmet to just leave them alone, so he’d stop getting in trouble. If I ignore them and he ignores them they’ll stop, right?”
---“It’s my fault. Mrs. Beckham was wrong about the steam engine and I said so and now she hates us.”
----The more Ingo talks from inside his hiding spot, the angrier Drayden and Clay get about the whole thing
--Finally Skyla finds them and climbs in with Ingo, and gently prods him out, where instantly he’s scooped into Clay’s arms.
---That’s when he realises they really aren’t mad at him and starts to cry himself.
----Drayden passes the still-asleep Emmet to Clay and grabs Ingo in a hug himself
Clay and Drayden leave the meeting early, citing Family Emergency, and take the physically and mentally exhausted twins back to their hotel room
-Step one is “the kids aren’t grounded anymore.” “Obviously not.”
-Step two is apologising to the boys for not listening when they said their teacher was lying, and for not intervening properly when they started to change the way they did.
--They should have looked closer
---They’re both kicking themselves that they let this happen
-Step three is they take the boys to Nimbasa City for the weekend as a start to making it up to them for what they’ve been through the past few months
-Step four is pull the boys out of school and press charges
The last two would have led to the boys transferring schools where they'd meet Elesa. Skyla would follow them to their new school in version 3, since Schuyler would have just found out that her teacher had been abusing two of her classmates and would tell her parents
