#IT'S SO HARD AND SCARY TO THINK OF BEING IN A MOVIE THEATER AGAIN BUT I ONLY WANT TO SEE THIS ON THE BIG SCREEN
1k word fic prompt (tw past abuse, nothing more than the stuff in your latest fic): ed has lots of rules he follows to avoid getting physically and emotionally hurt in a relationship, and doesn't fully realize how fucked up it is and how small he's making himself until he starts dating stede and stede never gets angry at him or wants him to behave differently.
This prompt was perfect for adapting a scene that had to be cut from "If I Get Lost Along the Way!" Super happy you sent it in. <3
(Always happy to see prompts for 1k word fics in my inbox!)
--
Ed had a lot of rules.
His ex-boyfriends liked how he looked, if he presented himself the way they wanted. He knew how to look fuckable and grabbable and biteable, how to pull up his hair to show off his neck and pick shirts that hugged his waist just right. He knew to skip the eyeliner and earrings and cute crop-tops until he was sure his newest boyfriend wouldn’t insult him or tell him he looked like a slut.
And he knew how to behave.
He knew how to step lightly around drunks and creep quietly through the house in his socks for a snack when a guy was sleeping on the couch. He knew how to keep himself quiet and inoffensive, knew how to wait for his boyfriend’s opinion before sharing his own. He knew how to turn his eyes down and whisper I love you so they’d stop at just hitting him once. He let his boyfriends go through his phone and order for him in restaurants. He knew how to make himself small.
And dating Stede was a little scary, because - he knew how to look fuckable, but he wasn’t really sure how to keep Stede calling him cute and beautiful and precious. He was still trying to work out a pattern, but it was hard, because Stede said those things no matter what he was wearing. He stuck safety pins through the sleeves of shirts Stede liked, but before he knew it there was a pin through every shirt in his closet.
It scared him, how many of his rules Stede encouraged him to break.
Stede liked his laugh, asked his opinion, helped him with chores, told him he didn’t deserve to be hurt, said he’d never, ever hit him, and it made him feel big. It made him feel like it hurt to force himself back into being small.
Still, he tried to keep himself safe, and the first time he fucked up was scary as hell.
They’d just gotten off work and decided to catch a movie, and it had been the most fun Ed had ever had on a date. He was still getting used to thinking that about every date Stede took him on. They’d picked the movie together, and it was some dumb monster movie thriller. The movie was forgettable, but Ed loved the experience of sharing a big bucket of movie theater popcorn, sneaking sips from Stede’s slushie, clutching at Stede’s arm and hiding his face in his shoulder during the scary scenes…
And he was just so happy he forgot one of the rules.
Smiling so big still made his face hurt, and he stretched as he stood up, loving to see his beaming smile reflected right back at him on Stede’s face. “That was great!”
Stede scooped up their empty popcorn bucket, kissing him on the cheek, and he wrinkled his nose a bit as he glanced back at the credits rolling on the screen. “Did you really think so? I didn’t think it was very good.”
Ed froze, his smile dipping so quickly it felt unbelievable he’d ever been grinning like that in the first place. “Oh.”
He braced for impact. Stede was going to call him stupid, and tell him he had horrible taste, and he was never taking him to the movies again, and -
“I think,” Stede said, leading Ed down the aisle and tossing their trash in the bins, “that one was actually part of one of those cinematic universes. Wanna see if we can find the others streaming somewhere when we get home?”
Ed frowned, stuffing his hands in his pockets to keep himself from taking Stede’s hand. Was this some kind of trick? “Didn’t you just say you hated it?”
“Eh, hate’s a strong word, and you liked it.” Stede shrugged, frowning a bit at Ed’s expression. “Ed? Sweet pea, are you okay?”
Ed shrugged one shoulder. “Yeah. I’m sorry I dragged you into the dumb movie.”
“Love, we picked it out together.” Stede stopped Ed with a gentle hand on his arm, pulling him to the side. “We don’t have to like the same movies. It was worth seeing it, just because I like spending time with you. I had a lot of fun!”
“Oh.” Ed examined Stede’s face, watching for any sign of anger or mockery, and his smile felt tentative. “Okay. I had fun, too.”
“Great.” Stede kissed his cheek, and then they were heading back out to the car like Ed’s entire world hadn’t just turned upside down.
Ed decided to do a little test.
“Can we go get ice cream?” He asked as he buckled his seatbelt, watching Stede check his teeth for popcorn kernels in the rearview mirror.
“Sounds great,” Stede chirped. “You wanna pick the place?”
Moment of truth. Ed took a deep breath. 
He clenched his hands into fists on his thighs, resisting the impulse to just suggest what he knew was Stede’s favorite ice cream parlor, even though it didn’t have Ed’s favorite flavors. “Can we go to Miracle Max’s?”
“Sure,” Stede said immediately.
“No, wait,” Ed blinked. “You hate Miracle Max’s.”
“It’s not my favorite, sure,” Stede frowned, “but it’s your favorite, and I picked last time. Ed, honey, seriously, are you okay?”
“Yeah,” Ed said, slowly, hardly daring to believe his luck. “Yeah, I’m fine. I’m good.”
When he got himself a sundae with five different flavors, Stede just laughed and told him he loved it. Fuckin’ weird. 
Over the next few days, Ed tried breaking more of his rules. He laughed louder, he wore a crop-top and earrings, he styled his hair differently. He told Stede when he didn’t want to go somewhere, he shared the things that interested him.
He hadn’t realized how truly small he’d been making himself until Stede started telling him that he just wanted Ed, as he was, as big as he wanted to make himself.
It was nice, to just get to be Ed.

MONSTER UNDER OUR BED
Tumblr media
Summary: after the serial killings of Woodsboro in 2022, your mental state continues to deteriorate to a hellish place that you can no longer be pulled from. Instead of running from the monsters from your nightmares, you become one to keep the evil at bay.
Pairings: Sam Carpenter x reader, Sam Carpenter x black!reader
Warnings: cursing, descriptions of violence and gore, mental instability, if you saw Scream VI … you’ll be fine reading this.
Word Count: 2.7k
*CONTAINS HEAVY SCREAM VI SPOILERS*
***
Things had gone too far.
Things had heavily gone too far and you knew there was no turning back from what you had done. From who you had become in the wake of the tragedies from the year before.
New York was a new beginning. A way for you and Sam and Tara and the Meeks-Martin twins to finally have some normalcy after being stabbed and hunted like animals.
The counselor Sam found for you guys was helpful for a couple of months. The meds she prescribed kept the nightmares to a minimum before they completely disappeared. You felt like you could breathe again, like the world wasn’t so scary anymore and you could begin to heal and move on.
That is … until Gale Weathers began her press tour for her new book detailing the murders that Richie Kirsh and Amber Freeman committed. Their presence in Woodsboro not being the only highlight of her book, but your proximity to Sam and Richie as well.
Sam told you not to read it. That Gale would spew lies and use your names to stay relevant just like she had done with Sydney for years. You wanted to listen to her, truly you did, but the curiosity got the better of you. You took the subway to the nearest bookstore and purchased it the day it released.
Page after page your eyes wandered at the words.
You wanted to be mad. To even think of suing Gale for using your name and trauma to drum up book sales and possibly another movie deal like she had done in the 90s.
You wanted to place blame on her for your mental relapse … but you couldn’t. You couldn’t shake the sick feeling of taking Sam to that party where she met Richie in Modesto. You started this, Richie being in her life was your fault.
You couldn’t be mad at Gale for telling the truth, your truth.
“Y/N?” You snapped your head, facing Sam’s direction as her brows furrowed. She stared at you with those beautiful big eyes, concerned you were on the main stage of the abandoned theater with no weapon. “Why are you up there?”
You turned back to the naked mannequin. The Ghostface robe and hood of Roman Bridger was still missing, the only robe not present of the nine Ghostface killers spanning from the 90s to present day. He was the only killer who worked alone, his resentment and frustrations fueled on not being accepted. Not being loved by the person he wanted to be loved by. To think that he started all of this madness, directed Billy and Stu to create this franchise of chaos … it seemed almost poetic that his robe was gone.
“Do you think that this plan will work?” You asked, walking away from the stage and meeting her at the wooden steps.
So badly did you want to tell her that you knew the truth. It wasn’t hard to discover that Quinn and Detective Bailey were related to Richie, especially when they believed that nobody was smart enough to discover their secret—so they were sloppy in how they handled things. As soon as Quinn let it slip that her brother died in a “car accident” you decided to do some digging. The dates and details that she disclosed didn’t add up with anything reported or in the news. With her dad being a cop, you knew there would be a case or news clipping of something connecting the two.
Ethan took you by surprise, but, when you thought back on his behavior and his interest in Tara it all clicked. The Kirsh boys had sick obsessions with the Carpenter sisters.
“All I can do is hope for the best.” She gave you a weak smile, hints of fear flickering on her face but she hid it well. You looked down, that feeling of malevolence creeping into your stomach as you thought of what you would have to do to Quinn and her family. How much you wanted to kill them. “Hey,”
Sam grabbed your hand softly, her black polished fingers interlocking with yours. “I know you were hurt badly last year and I understand this is scary.” She comforted you, while it was nice to hear … it was too late.
Richie stabbed you three times in Stu Macher’s home. One in the leg, one in the back, and one in the ribs where he uttered his last words to you. “You see how easy it was for her to fuck me over you? You will always live in my shadow, Y/N.”
Sam’s phone rang loudly in the theater. Bringing you back to focus on the shrine of evidence and memorabilia that highlighted the fuckers that came before you. She began talking to the Detective on the phone, giving you a chance to slip away while Chad and Tara were distracted with each other.
That’s how things should have been with you and Sam, a blossoming relationship where you could keep each other safe and from harm. What a shame it was to find Danny from across the hall had become her new comfort.
That is … until a visit from Ghostface sent him to the county morgue.
The plan was never to kill people and become the monster under the bed. But the more and more threats that stepped in your way, the more you realized that you needed to step up. You needed to give people a reason to be scared of you for once, and maybe, just maybe they would stop fucking with you.
Maybe you could finally keep Sam safe.
You knew you had about five minutes before Detective Bailey and his mentally ill family of two, formerly three, would come barreling in thinking you would be a helpless victim. As if they would be continuing one of Richie’s shitty films.
They had no clue they were guest starring in your movie. Your extended cut that ends with their guts on the ground and you getting the girl. You’d finally win and have nothing to fear anymore.
You ducked off into a secret room, donning Roman’s robe and grabbing his knife. You laced up your Doc Marten boots, tying them tight so when you stomped Detective Bailey’s face in for fucking with Sam, your boots would stay in place. The voice modulator was situated in your pocket along with your phone on silent, buzzing with texts from Sam asking where you were.
Quinn and Ethan had arrived and began wreaking havoc on Sam, Tara, and Chad. With a quickness in your step, you found yourself in the theater lobby, Chad laying on the floor as blood gushed from his wounds. The Ghostfaces cleaned their knives in sync, too focused on Sam and Tara to hear you creeping behind them.
With steady hands you sliced behind the knee of one of them before stabbing the arm of the other. You couldn’t tell who was who, all you knew was that you caused harm. The Carpenter sisters took their moment to escape, questions plaguing their mind as they tried to figure out a safe place to go.
The killers were stunned for only a few seconds but that was all you needed to flee the scene and return to the main stage. They lost you when their father arrived, telling them to head into the shrine and not taking a second to hear what they were trying to say about another killer running around.
Their ever so long monologues about their idiot dead brother and his sick obsessions with Stab films and Billy fucking Loomis, was boring to say the least. The audacity of them to be upset with Sam for defending herself was insane. Richie wasn’t even a good killer, he made Amber do all of the work because he was too pussy to do so until the end. When he stabbed you and stabbed Sam. Taking away parts of your soul you’d never find again.
Not only was Richie a fucking man baby but he was like twenty five dating an eighteen year old … legal, still weird.
God, watching Sam run her knife into him twenty two times was enough to make you fall in love with her if you hadn’t already.
Their unmasking was uneventful. Just like Richie, they couldn’t be original in their killing styles. This revenge plot had been done in the 90s when Sydney was hunted down by Nancy Loomis when Syd was in college. How fucking unoriginal. If Mindy were here she would be so annoyed.
“Oh, Detective Bailey….” You taunted with the voice modulator. Speaker systems were hooked up around the theater by you, connected via your phone using Bluetooth. You took threatening steps on the main stage, watching as everyone’s attention turned toward you. “Didn’t the academy teach you to clear a room?”
“What the fuck?!” Ethan screamed, his smile quickly turning to a frown as he held his arm. You chuckled realizing Quinn was the one who got sliced behind the knee.
“We told you there was another one, Dad!” Quinn yelled. “Another fucking copycat, kill him.” She demanded, waving her knife in your direction.
Your steps were slow and haunting. “Him?” You laughed. Fear was eliminated from your body as you took command, you were the top fucking dog around here and nothing would control your fear. Not anymore. “Hi, Sam. Tara.” You nodded at the girls. Walking past Kirby who laid on the floor still breathing but wounded.
You knew help was on the way, you called them before emerging, knowing a bloodbath was going to commence with the blood being on your hands.
Two bullets were fired into your chest, the Kevlar of your bulletproof vest absorbing them. The shock of being hit should have made you stumble or knock you back but the adrenaline coursing through your veins kept you moving. “Clearly you didn’t watch your sons movies.” You hissed. “You’re supposed to aim for the head.”
You took your mask off, not the original that Roman wore but a store bought version, tossing it on the ground as a devilish smile emerged on your lips. “I wasn’t able to get revenge for what Richie did to me … but torturing his shitty family will be a close second.”
Detective Bailey tried shooting again, his gun out of bullets. In frustration, Quinn lunged at you, making Tara hit her in the face with a brick and knocking her to the ground. Sam was stunned staring at you, being pulled away by her sister as you turned to Ethan. The boy tried stabbing you, distracted from the girls running away.
Ethan leaned over a glass display, swiping at you messily. “Maybe if you got laid you wouldn’t be so damn angry.” You grabbed his arm, pulling him into you before tugging a fist full of his curly hair and slamming his face into the glass repeatedly. You threw him to the ground and focused on Quinn, who to your dismay was gone along with her father.
You looked up at the balcony, Sam and Tara tiptoeing around the railing to escape on the other side. You bolted for the nearest door connected to the stairs, seeing Quinn approach the balcony to kill them. “Let me go, Sam.” You heard Tara say. “I’ll be okay … let me go.”
“I’ve always wanted to stick something in you, Tara!” Ethan laughed, cuts on his face from the glass that clearly did not stop him. You should have slit his throat but you weren’t thinking.
Sam passed her sister the knife before letting her go, the smaller sister dropping and jamming the knife into Ethan’s mouth. Quinn stood in front of you in horror. Her eyes wide that Sam had a gun pointed at her forehead. “Looks like you’re down another brother.” She smiled, firing the gun and killing the redhead.
You heard the door creak behind you and immediately ducked off into a corner. Detective Bailey arrived just in time to see his daughter laying on the ground in a pool of her own blood. In a sloppy fit of rage he tried running after Sam but you snuck behind him, pushing him off of the balcony and his body smashing into another glass case.
Sam stopped in her tracks, letting out a scream at seeing you emerge. “Stay away from me.” She yelled.
“It’s me, Sam.” You said softly. “I’m not going to hurt you. I’d never do anything to hurt you, you gotta believe me.”
She shook her head. “How can I believe anything you say when you wear that?!” Sam huffed. “Like it’s something to be proud of.”
“I did all of this for you…for us.” You argued, tossing your sweat hair back and out of your face. “Do you think being scared of every little fucking thing that goes bump in the night is fun? It’s exhausting, Sam, it’s goddamn exhausting and I’m tired of being the helpless victim. I’m reminded of that every time I’m in the shower and see these scars.”
You stepped closer to her, heart breaking as she took a step back. Your boot pressed on Quinn’s face, her jaw cracking under the pressure.
“So you became the monster? The thing that goes bump in the night?” She repeated, gears turning in her head as she processes what’s happening. “Ethan and Quinn were with us when Danny was killed … and Bailey was at the station, you … it was you.”
“Do you really think it’s smart to have a boyfriend right now?” You asked softly. Tears prickling your eyes as she was visibly scared of you. “Danny didn’t know shit about us, about what we went through. How could someone like that protect you when he couldn’t even protect himself?”
“You’re fucking insane, Y/N!”
You shook your head violently. “I’m in love with you, Sam! And I’ve heard it makes people do crazy things.” You pointed the knife at her, not with the intent to kill, with the intention of getting your point across. “And don’t give me those cutesy eyes like you’re shocked, you knew I fucking loved you ever since that time I was drunk and kissed you.”
“You said it was an accident.” She stumbled on her words, the lump in her throat making it hard to breathe. “That you had too much to drink—”
“The way I loathed Richie before we knew he was a psycho killer should have been enough evidence for you, Sweetheart.” You growled. It wasn’t going to throw you off of your game. Couples got into arguments all the time. “When you told me who your Dad was I didn’t care. I didn’t go watch all the Stab movies and obsess over them. I didn’t push you away, even when you tried to push away from me. I love you, Sam. Even when you didn’t love yourself.”
“Why didn’t you say something?” She asked breathlessly.
You shook your head. “Because I rather not have you be with me than lose you completely from my life.” You motioned down towards the ground floor. “You have a few minutes before he wakes up.” You gestured towards the unconscious detective. “I know there’s a part of you that wants your revenge and you deserve it.” You smile.
Sam stood still. Shell shocked by everything that was happening around her. She knew she missed the signs, the evidence that you were also Ghostface. But you were Y/N, her bestfriend, she never believed that you could do something like this … be this thing that terrified the both of you. Be capable of murder in this capacity.
You gently touched her face with your glove, cupping her cheek as you pressed a soft kiss to the corner of her mouth. “Show him what happens when you fuck with Sam Carpenter.” You whispered in her ear, sending chills down her spine. “I’ll be waiting for you when you’re finished. I’ll tell you everything, Sam.”
You smiled, leaving the Carpenter sisters in the theater and letting them go because you knew they could defend themselves. While your heart pounded from the come down of adrenaline, it still skipped a beat at the fact that you were still alive.
Sam had a chance to kill you and she didn’t take it …

If this made your day & you’d like to buy me a coffee feel free to tip me!

I saw that in a scary movie once
Tumblr media
Pairings: Tara Carpenter X Fem Reader
Contains: fluff, and angst
Warnings: Major scream 6 spoilers, mentions of death, blood, and violence.
Prologue: You and Tara first met in kindergarten and have been best friends since, and in the recent events you two have only gotten closer. Recently you have noticed new feelings arousing, mabey it was the way she looked at you with those honey brown eyes or the barrage of freckles plastered across her face but you felt there was something more that friendship in the feelings that you felt. You could only hope that she felt the same.
You, Tara, Sam, and Chad had just entered the theater,you and Tara thought it would be best to explore and get a good layout of the place before any problems arouse. You new that Sam was looking at the variety of old ghostface costumes that were put on display, so you and Tara opted to start somewhere close by and eventually decide on going too see what is behind a nearby door. It ended up being a room with some kind of front desk were people would usually buy their tickets and popcorn. You both spotted an old pack of some kind of candy and reached for it. "Oh, you can have it," you said to Tara when you noticed that she went for it too.
"No no, you can have it," said Tara. You were about to object when Tara said, "You think I want them, there like 100 years old." You both laughed lightly at her joke when she added, "maybe that's your thing." You stared at each other for a while just admiring each other's features not knowing what to say.
A smile formed in both of your faces. She looked at the candy, "I actually," she was cut off by your lips meeting hers. You weren't sure what got into you but you were glad that you did what you did because she returned the gesture without a second thought. "I should have done that a lot sooner," You said pulling away. "You really should have," she giggled. "But you could do it a lot more times," she said smirking. You both leaned back in before ghostface appeared, not giving either of you time to react. In one fluid movement, ghostface cut Tara in the back. You scream, grabbing her as her balance wavered from the unexpected attack. She topples to the side barley keeping herself on two feel. ghostface turns to you ready for their second attack. Their knife cuts through the air in multiple swift, calculated movements trying to land another hit. You were lucky enough to barley miss getting cut by the knife that you know all to well for all the wrong reasons.
As they try to stab you, you grab their arms and throw them against a glass case. Unfortunately their head wich was protected by the mask was the only thing that hit it causing them to get right back up. You didn't even think of running you only instinct was to fight. They swung their knife at you again, dodging it you punch ed them as hard as you could in the face.
They fell to the floor and when they tried to get back up again you kicked them in the gut hoping to buy you and Tara some time. You turned around and ran to Tara yelling, "Come-on Tara let's go, come-on, come-on, come-on!" When you open the door you both scream when Sam is unexpectedly at the other side of the door.
You yell, "go, go, go!" Not wanting to waste any time. When you close the door behind you Sam says, "It's Kirby, she's the killer." You mumble, "oh shit." as you run over to the elevator. As soon as you get there Sam says, "That's locked." You sigh throwing your hands up in the air and exclaim, "were trapped?" "She made this whole theater a kill box," says Sam, "for us."
"Hey, what about that," says Tara looking up, "There's an exit door." "Maybe it leads to the roof or something," she says panicked. "Well there's only one was to find out," you say, "let's go, let's go!" You all speed walk towards the ladder when ghostface jumps down in front of you all.
He swings him knife at Tara and she dodges it by flinging herself to the side and landing on the floor. They take a few more swings at you and Sam causing the knife that you didn't know that Sam had to fall to the floor along with her. Ghostface turns their attention to you and swings the knife at full power towards your neck, you dodged it but the mannequin behind you wasn't spared.
You charge at Ghostface knocking them over. Sam rushes towards Tara saying, "Tara come-on!" As she rushes over to Tara you take an old fashioned camera that was behind you and slam it against ghostface's head.
Sam and Tara run through the slightly see-through ghostface themed curtains with you following not far behind them. "This way," exclaimed Tara. You all run through the door that you lead to the front room that you and Tara first got attacked, ghostface not following far behind. You were last in the single file line that you all ran in down a tight hall with Tara in first and Sam in close second. Ghostface was about to catch up when you threw the camera at him.
When you rounded the corner you threw down the popcorn machine hoping that it would buy you all some time. But they were already right behind you and got around it in no time taking a few swings at you wich you dodged most but ended up being stabbed by one. Tara and Sam grabbed on arm each and slammed ghostface against the counter, pulling him off of you.
When they let go, you punched ghostface with all of your remaining strength. They fell to the floor and Tara kicked them in the face. "Careful, go," you yelled grabbing a small bubble gum machine. You were about to smash their face as hard as you could when you felt a knife enter your side.
You screamed in shear pain. As you fell to the floor. "NO!" screamed Tara. She made an attempt to run towards you but Sam grabbed her restraining her as the other ghostface got up. "Y/N," she screamed trying to loosen sam's grip on her as both of the ghostfaces held you down and stabbed you over and over.
At first it hurt more than anything you have aver experienced, but then you started to go numb blood dripping from your mouth. you thought, "Tara likes me back, she kissed me, maybe that's- your thoughts were cut off by Tara blood curling screech she let out. She screamed your name. It brought you back, the reaction of the girl who you loved most. Now, you were determined to live. But your vision started declining more and more.
Tara watched it horror as you were being stabbed dozens of times. As your seemingly lifeless body fell to the floor and Sam practically dragged Tara away as everything happened. It's not that Sam didn't care about you, it's just that she wasn't going to lose anyone else, especially her sister. Tara was dragged back through the door, both of the ghostfaces turning their attention to the sisters.
Tara and Sam ran through another door bringing them back to the main theater. As Tara ran towards one direction Sam rerouted Tara saying, "This way." Tara followed but didn't say a word, she was to stunned to really say anything, the only thing she could do was cry, so she did.As they ran towards the curtains one if the ghostfaces jumps through the curtains. Tara, still crying gets dragged by Sam turning around to run but the other ghostface is turning the corner.
Tara let's out a small scream as ghostface moves their knife in a motion signaling "NO."Sam turns around to see the other ghostface pointing their knife at the sisters. "Ready?" Asks Sam. Tara only whimpered in response. "I need you to be ready, ready." Says Sam holding a brick in her hand. Tara closes her eyes and swallows trying to calm herself down. "Look at me," says Sam. Tara turns her head to look at Sam. They look at each other for a few seconds until Tara says, "I'm ready."Turning her head back around. They are now back to back, one if the ghostfaces us in front of each of them. Tara gets a surtain surge if confidence and yells at ghostface, "Come-on MOTHERFUCKER!" Gunshots are fired in their direction causing everyone including the two ghostfaces to duck. The one in front of Tara crouches behind a table, the girls covering their heads due to them being out in the open. they look at the stage to see who is firing the gun to reveal Kirby.
Turns out it wasn't her after all."Stay the fuck back!" Says Sam as Kirby walks down the stairs with a tiered look on her face. "We know it's you Kirby." Says Tara. "No." Says Kirby walking towards them, "One of them... knocked me out!" Says Kirby gasping for breath."Stop!" Says someone in the distance. Kirby aimes the gun towards the newcomer making sure that they don't try anything. "Get away from the girls!" Says the unknown person. The sisters turn around revealing that the unknown person is none other than sheriff Wayne. Kirby and Wayne, guns pointed at each other. "What are you doing!?" Says Kirby on high alert. "Did you kill Quinn?" Asks Wayne tears in his eyes. "Did you kill my daughter?!" "Jesus Christ!" Exclaimed Kirby wide eyed. She looks at Sam and Tara with a confused look on her face."What ever he's been saying to you," says Kirby defensively, "don't listen to him!" "He's probably the killer," Kirby adds. As soon as the words leave her mouth ghostface comes through one if the doors."Behind you!" Screams Kirby. But Wayne didn't move, instead he shoots Kirby twice in the chest as ghostface makes their advance behind him. Sam and Tara look at Kirby with nothing but shock in their eyes as ghostface stands behind Wayne. Wayne has a half smirk on his face seeming accomplished by the murder of someone he had been working with for the past few days. The girls turn their heads to look at the killers standing in front of them. "Good job," says Wayne, ghostface turning to look at their comrade. The other ghostface joins Wayne's other side and the one in the left re- focuses on Sam and Tara. "Both of you," he adds.

Dndads Teen Headcanons
(It got kinda outta hand, and these aren’t even the angst ones…)
Hermie curls their hair and Taylor straightens his (but because of the adventures neither of them have been able to do it so they’re slowly reverting back to their original state)
Hermie uses they/them pronouns when not in a roll and Dood uses they/it
Normal and Hero have watched Adult Swim shows from a really young age (Lark, Sparrow, and Rebecca either didn’t care enough to turn off Cartoon Network, or just didn’t realize)
Linc and Hermie were PBS kids
Taylor is always playing games on his Chromebook at school (coolmathgames rules)
Taylor has a ton of pins on his jacket and hat
Scary has a TON of birthmarks, freckles, moles all over her body. It’s gorgeous
Dood‘s Teen body rotates between four outfits that all seem too large and slightly too old for it… (it’s Hildy, Robert, Meryl, and Stud’s outfits) (even if It never technically met Meryl)
FUNFACT: none of the Teens have a nuclear family
Hero’s first language is Spanish (Lark and Sparrow decided that forcing her to go through an almost entirely English-speaking school without knowing English would help “toughen her up”)
All of the Oak’s are fluent in Spanish and English
Scary is afraid of going under tunnels (when she was Terri she’d close her eyes and squeeze someone’s hand)
Linc types like an old man but can game really really well
Hermie does cosplays and posts them on the future equivalent to TikTok
Everytime they go to a mall of something Normal tries reallllly hard to convince them to all squeeze into a Photo Booth (it has not happened yet)
Hermie loves Starkid
Taylor really likes FNAF
Scary’s favorite season is winter
Linc’s favorite is spring (even though soccer season is autumn)
Normal likes all of the seasons (he takes after his grandpa!!)
Dood loves everything (all the seasons), though they absolutely despise the mosquitos and gnats…
Taylor’s favorite season is probably summer
Scary was diagnosed with ADHD at a very young age (not autism though), but when she started being Scary she tried to stop taking her medication (she started taking it again)
Taylor used to LOVE dinosaurs. He had every Jurassic Park movie, the book, everything. He still has the anime and the original downloaded for bad days
Scary is tall without shoes (only shorter than Linc and about the same as Hermie) but she wears platforms to make herself taller (queen <3)
Hermie has a younger brother and a younger sister (like, 6 years old) who were not born by Scam and Jodie, and Hermie has no idea where they’re from
Hermie’s two favorite people are their siblings (they would do anything for them)
All the Teens but Dood and Linc had Amino at some point </3 (but for completely different fandoms/communities)
The only class Normal has consistently had an A/100 in has been GYM
Normal, Scary, and Linc are very very athletic
Hermie is more athletic than people would think they are (you run a LOT in theater, and singing takes a ton of energy)
Normal constantly plays the Zip Game throughout their travels (everytime you see a horse you yell ‘zip’ and keep track of how many horses you’ve called, everytime you see a cemetery you yell ‘cemetery’ and everyone else loses their horses)
Normal and Hermie know a ton of car games (though Hermie wouldn’t admit it) because of looong car rides with their sibling/s
Hermie works at a Haunted Attraction during Autumn
Hermie is freakishly worried about their siblings after coming home and not finding their parents (has not mentioned it to anyone though…)
Scary uses her notes app for everything (song lyrics, poems, reminders, etc.)
Dood is the shortest out of them all, then Taylor
Taylor has a ton of stickers on his cane (anime, survival, etc.)
They’re all autistic and queer <3
Scary has a vent notebook and a lyric notebook
Linc doesn’t really get cold, which is why he always wears shorts and tanktops
Scary only eats the Oreos with the orange filling
Taylor either sleeps with a TON of blankets or with only a sheet. No in between

Xdinary Heroes Reaction
Watching a Horror Movie with you
Tumblr media
Hello friends! Your friendly neighborhood XH content writer is back! I'm so sorry I've been so IA these few months, a lot or crazy had happened! But I am back with more XH content to feed the delulu little mind!
Summary: I recently just watched the newest Insidious movie and it got me thinking how would our heroes react while watching a horror movie with you!
Warning: Mild language usage, mentions of horror related stuff?
Scenario: boyfriend au, romance, fluff, comedy
GUNIL 💀
Tumblr media
(Let's all just take a moment to admire the art that is Goo Gunil)
Our brave leader
Much like how he was in the beginning of the haunted house ep of RTW
He'll act tough
Like he's scared of nothing
"Just hide behind these guns baby!"
*flexes his muscles*
But as the movie progresses
He's gonna be screaming
But I can see him still protecting you
As he's fearing for his life
(Kind of like the theater scene in Goblin)
(If you know you know 🙃)
Jungsu
Tumblr media
(My little bean boy)
Jungsu can't handle scary shit
So this was already a bad idea
Like he's gonna try so hard to keep his composure
Your hand is locked in his
Tightly
He'll be shaking his head as he sees how the main character slowly approaches the door
"Don't do it.....don't do it!"
*JUMPSCARE*
"AHH! I SAID DONT DO IT!"
I can also see him pressing his lips together to suppress the scream that's wanting to emerge from his throat
Eyes shut tightly
You're a little worried about him
"Jungsu... we can watch something else!"
"But I wanna see how it ends"
(Why is he so cute!? 🤧)
Gaon 💀
Tumblr media
Someone help this poor boy
We have ALL scene how well he takes scary stuff
He doesn't....
So with that being in mind
He's a mess
Already
And the movie just started
"Why did I agree to this...."
His soul is on the verge of leaving his body
He's gonna be gripping the popcorn bowl tightly
Using it as a shield
Definitely cursing at the movie
*JUMPSCARE!*
*Popcorn is now everywhere*
Jiseok now has a pillow in his lap and his head behind your shoulder
O.de
Tumblr media
Much like Gunil
Seungmin is gonna have that cool guy persona to him
Nothing scares him anymore!
Or does it?
He's sitting back on the couch
Arms crossed over his chest
Rolling his eyes at all the "scary" parts
But there's one in particular jumpscare that actually does make him jump
Now your laughing at him
"You should have seen your face Min!"
Back to cool guy
"Whatever!"
Junhan 💀
Tumblr media
Hyeongjun had already shown us that he doesn't really get scared easily
So again if you've seen the ep of RTW
You guessed it
He's mostly just gonna laugh at you
Like he's enjoying the movie
But he's enjoying you freaking out and grabbing onto his arm
He's also enjoying how clingy and cute you are
He'd also 100% try to make you jump too
Because Hyeongjun is a lowkey little Savage
So this is now all for his own personal amusing
"We'll watch something funny after this Jagiya"
Jooyeon 💀
Tumblr media
(Oh my boy!)
Okay so his is like Hyeongjun
Except vice versa
YOU are gonna be the one enjoying his reactions
Jooyeon doesn't just talk to the TV
He's full blown yelling at the TV
"Don't answer the door you stupid girl! Yep she's gonna die!"
He's trying to stay angry to hide his absolute fear
Boys going through it
I can see him getting into the storyline
The little noises he makes at the jumpscares
(🥺)
Holding onto you for comfort
You making him jump every couple minutes just to hear his cute little scared noises
And then he's whining to you
"Jagiyaaa don't do that!"
Anywho! That's all for now! I have more content I'm working on today! So please look forward to it!
Don't forget to stream Break the Brake tomorrow and give LIVELOCK lots and love!
ILY guys! 💕

🌙❜ ─ Dress up ⁰⁰¹
Tumblr media
» In which Skz takes you on a date to show how much they love you.
Members: Bang Chan,lee know,changbin
Warnings: None
Genre: fluff
Tumblr media
Bang Chan
» You barely get to go on dates with Chan considering how hard he works as a group leader always busy with work, But when you tell him how you feel like he’s not giving you enough attention he immediately tends to your needs.
» will probably book a date at a very fancy restaurant just the two of you. No security no fans disrupting your alone time. Just you to being together.
» The Date will most likely be a surprise not because he MENT to, but because he forgot to tell you. That does stop you from being immensely happy though you didn’t except him to do something so grand.
» Will definitely buy a fancy expensive dress just for the date something that sculpts your body perfectly and out lines his favorite parts of you ( all though he loves every part of you). Your clothing will definitely match with his if he gets a black suit then you get a black dress.
» After the date he will take you home and cuddle you before he leaves early tomorrow for work he whispers in your ear and promises you he will take you on a date again sometime soon.
Tumblr media
Lee know
» Mr. Introverted when you tell him you want to go out on a date with him he will sigh. Not because he wouldn’t want to see you all dressed up for him but because he doesn’t want to go outside
» he’s probably going to just recommend doing an at home movie night where you cuddle in watch horror movies together because he loves they way you curl into him when a scary scene comes on
» If your really desperate to go out together he will still recommend something really simple and easy to plan like movie theaters or the arcade, is also perfectly fine just sitting at home and cuddling with you and his cats
» if you do end up doing a at home movie night he will be excited I BELIVE Lee know is not fond of PDA so he’s happy you will be able to be touch him and cuddle into his chest while he nibbles and your ear and occasionally getting a quick peck on the cheek.
» will definitely fall asleep while watching the movie last thing you hear him mumble is “ I love you honey” drifting off to sleep.
Tumblr media
Changbin
» you wont need to tell him you want to go on a date because he probably already takes you on dates regularly but you bring up an idea he wouldn’t of thought of before he is totally open to try it.
» you tell him you just want to go with him to the studio for the next date. Confused because he think someone like you deserves a more grand date than a lousy studio date
» won’t decline it because he doesn’t want to ever reject one of your ideas but will still definitely be a bit thrown off
» regardless when the time comes he does take you to the studio. You sit on a chair behind him some where watching him record his parts for the up coming song. While it might not be a normal date he loves it more than you think. When ever he takes a brake your tight there to offer him his water. Will also love that you give him lots of kisses.
» when you come home late at night from your so called date he can’t help but love it when you get into bed he keeps telling you that you should come to the studio everyday. Although you wave it off as you have your own job to tend to.

This is home: prologue
masterlist
warnings: canon typical violence but not really , fem!reader but can be read as gn! or male!, hair, thomas being protective, wckd
summary: you break some hard news to Thomas (going into the maze)
a/n: my first tmr imagine! It’s kind of (very) self indulgent, but a series starter! (don’t mind my massive crush on Thomas)
Tumblr media
originally posted by nany-suicide
prologue 
At fourteen, in the books, in the past, you suppose that the two of you wouldn’t be here, like this. You suppose that, in another time, you might be out to a movie theater, or at a school dance. Instead, you’re curled up in Thomas’s bed, head on his steadily rising and falling chest while he plays with your hair.
It’s late, and technically, the two of you aren’t allowed to have your own rooms, much less be in each others, but you’ve always been one of the favorites. 
Which is how you’ve found that, more nights than not, you spend them wrapped up in his arms. He’s big, hit his growth spurt early, and he’s strong from the training WCKD has a select group from group A - including you, Thomas, Ben and Minho - perform every day. No matter his strength or his size, he can’t keep you from the future, and your fate that you have already decided. 
“What’s wrong?” He whispers into your hair. You bury your face into his chest, breathing him in. You shudder your breath out, shakily building up the courage to tell him what you’ve done.
“(Y/n). What is it? Tell me, so I can help.”
Why is he so perfect?
“Thomas.” You climb up all the away on top of him, so you’re sitting on him, face to face. His copper eyes search your reddened ones. “I volunteered.”
Just like that, the concern in his eyes turns to fear. He goes rigid under you and pulls you tight into him. 
“Why?” He’s calm, but you know this type of calm, especially on Thomas. This is red sky in the morning, birds going quiet before a ravaging hurricane calm. Thomas can be scary, you remember. He’s the second genius behind the maze, closely followed by your best friend, Teresa.
A ways behind you, the creator of the maze and WCKD’s not-so-secret weapon, and, as such, the attempted victim of multiple assassinations by angry survivors.
WCKD is good.
 After the latest, Thomas hasn’t left you on your own for much more than the half- hour you’re allotted each morning to clean up after waking. He’s not the only one, Minho and Newt, two of the group A’s, stick by you whenever you’re not in the lab on assignment, which is almost never, it seems like nowadays.
In there, It’s only you, Thomas and Teresa - who act more like siblings than anything else.
Teresa, your best friend, who you told just this afternoon.
Teresa, the only one who knows your plan, ulterior of WCKD.
“Why?” he asks again, but he already knows.
“I’m the only one who can survive in there. Alone. I built the maze, bub.”
Thomas wrinkles his face up.
“Not all of it,” he whines. “Teresa and I-”
“- programmed under my supervision and guidance. With me in there, all you’ll need to do is keep me alive, okay?”
He sighs heavily, so heavily that you rise and fall with his diaphragm. 
“No, but… there’s no stopping you.”
“I’m still here for one more night, Tommy,” you whisper. “You can tell me goodbye tomorrow, too.”
“do Minho and Newt know? Teresa?”
“I told them this afternoon. Said I’m on a new assignment. But, Thomas…. “
“New assignment, huh? What do they think you’re doing in that lab every day?”
“They suspect. But I need to tell you. Listen to me, Thomas.”
His eyes lock onto yours, unwavering in a way that would be more than a little intimidating if you didn’t know him so well.
“You need to stay close to Teresa. You understand?” You lower your voice. “She knows the plan. She’ll keep you safe. The two of you need to work together in that lab until we see each other again.”
“Teresa knows- what plan? What are you talking about?”
You look around. His room is bugged. You both know that. You press your face into his neck and mutter,
“Thomas, why are we doing this? What good comes out of imprisonment? WCKD isn’t good. We’re going to stop them.”
He shirts you to his side again.
“Don’t say that. Please. Don’t say that.”
“Thomas.”
“Can we just sleep? Please?”
You oblige him, snuggling into his side like you do every night, drifting off together for the last time.

College is a Scream
All-New Ghost Rider meets Scream, set when Robbie is like 20 and Lisa is in college. Part 1 of ? Posting this now in case I don't finish the rest. Thanks @wazzappp for troubleshooting this!
The first time Lisa O’Toole narrowly escaped being stabbed to death, she was walking alone across the UCLA campus on a breezy October night, chatting on the phone to a member of the student advisory committee doing a survey.
“Again, sorry to bother you so late,” the other student was saying. He cleared his throat and Lisa heard a wuffling sound, like wind across a microphone. Maybe that was from her end. “We’re just trying to take everyone’s preferences for activities into account. Uh, do you like movies?”
Lisa laughed. The guy on the other end seemed so earnest, and she could picture him crouched in his dorm room by the light of his desktop, working his way through a script and a list of numbers. Had to be such a drag. “Pretty sure everybody likes movies.”
“Any movies?”
Lisa was getting better at catching sexual innuendo. “Most movies.”
“How about scary movies?”
“Oh, you bet your bottom I do!”
She could practically hear the other student grinning back at her over the line. “What’s your favorite scary movie?”
Lisa bounced on her toes as she crossed a courtyard and approached the gap between the art building and the theater building. “Omigosh. That’s so hard. That’s a hard choice. Like, what’s my favorite good scary movie, or which do I watch the most, or what do I recommend to a friend or what’s the best one for a party? A party, you know, I think you want late eighties/early nineties pop-culture schlock. Like Chucky. It’s not too hardcore for a large audience, and the effects hold up, and there’s a lot going on, like with the serial killer practicing hoodoo to tie himself to the living world. Or, maybe? Elm Street II. Nightmare. If you know the behind-the-scenes story before you start, the queer cinema story, it like blows you away, and the body horror? The transformation scene where Freddy Krueger tears his way out of Jesse’s body and possesses him? Umph. Haunting. And his kinda-girlfriend has the same name as me, and she survives. Or, wait, did you mean the movie that scared me the most? I’ll be honest...you still can’t beat The Brave Little Toaster.”
“How about the Stab franchise?” the student prompted, his voice going a bit growly.
Lisa squeaked. “I love Stab! They’re so cheesy. Stab V is my favorite, it’s like the best take on time travel in cinema, it’s totally underappreciated.”
The line fell silent for a bit and Lisa checked her reception as the tree-lined walkway narrowed between the massive theater building and a freestanding wall that cupped a little wooded park at the end of the art building. “Every Stab movie starts with a phone call. A stranger calls a woman alone, seeming friendly until he suddenly ropes her into a sadistic game. So...Lisa—”
Was that movement beyond that stupid cinderblock wall up ahead? Lisa slung her purse off her shoulder and let it dangle low and heavy from her free hand. “Gotta-go-nice-chatting-call-you-back-bye!” she hissed, hanging up. It was awfully narrow between the little park and the theater building. Awfully dark, with the security lights casting harsh shadows in exactly the wrong places.
There was no law against hanging out in parks. Could be somebody sleeping rough, shooting up, waiting to meet somebody for a deal—but this wasn’t Hillrock Heights, Lisa reminded herself. On campus, nobody should have any business lurking around in the dark.
The brightly lit street was less than fifty yards ahead. Turning back would mean turning her back on whoever this was. It was probably just a couple students making out, anyway. “Hey,” Lisa called, so as not to startle whoever it was. Her phone buzzed in her hand, and she silenced it, wishing she’d worn something with pockets today. She backed toward the theater building, watching the wall as she went.
No one there as she started to round the corner, just darkness and trees. She kept watching over her shoulder as she passed by, and just as she was about to look away toward the street, someone dressed in black with a shining, twisted face charged out from behind the wall. Lisa shrieked and swung her purse and struck the figure with a crack. They dropped slacklimbed to the pavement and lay still.
It was a person in a Ghostface costume, with the screaming mask and black robe and mall-ninja hunting knife and the whole bit. Not a monster, not La Leyenda, not a gang member on steroids, but a fellow student. “Oh no.” Probably some twisted fraternity prank. “Oh no!” And Lisa had gone and gotten herself involved.
She could just leave the guy there. But he’d been unconscious for thirty seconds already. That was bad. If she left him here and he died, no-one would know, but she’d know, and that would set a bad precedent. She called campus security as she kicked the knife away from the student’s slack grip.
“So, like, I was walking to my bus stop from the library and there’s this guy just lying there in a Halloween costume,” Lisa explained after greeting the dispatcher. “He’s not answering me? I think somebody needs to check on him.”
“Is he breathing?” the dispatcher demanded.
Lisa crouched behind the student’s back and watched it rise and fall. “Yeah. Like, can I go? It’s kinda creepy out.”
“Please stay with him until first responders arrive,” the dispatcher requested. “Clear any obstructions away from his nose and mouth. You need to be ready to answer questions.”
Crap, crap, crap. Lisa pulled the mask off the student’s face; it was a guy, looked like an upperclassman, white, eyes open but unfocused, blood dribbling down his scalp. “But my bus is coming!” she lied. She turned on her phone flashlight and checked the outside of her purse for blood: nothing. Looked like the guy’s hood had caught it all; small favors. This was really bad.
“You have to stay with the unconscious person!” the dispatcher insisted. “You could be legally liable for abandonment if you walk away!”
“Okay, okay,” Lisa said, stepping around to the non-staring side of the man’s face. “I’ll stick around. It’s just really creepy here, okay?”
“You’re doing the right thing. Paramedics are on their way.”
As sirens wailed in the distance, Lisa fished her lucky brick out from the bottom of her purse and threw it as hard as she could into the park. “Crap.”

MAG 143 Relisten
Activity on my first listen: mowing the lawn.
BASIRA: "Eyes peeled." [PAUSE.] JON: "Was that a joke?" BASIRA: "Yeah." That is exactly my kind of joke! xD Absolutely love it!
BASIRA: "Where is everybody?" MANUELA: (scoffs) "Go to hell!" JON: (overlapping) "Answer her." [BIG, BOOMING STATIC AGAIN.] MANUELA: "They’re dead. Because of you.” So yes, following up on MAG 141 (Jon telling Floyd to take a break, though that seemed to be more hypnotic than compulsive), can Jon just tell people what to do, is that something that was included in the latest compulsion patch? I don't think it happens again... Yeah, Jon tells Manuela (and also Peter in MAG 159) "tell me", but that’s just a follow-up to the question he already asked.
"Three hundred years from the failure that birthed the thing that preached from the depths of Maxwell Rayner." Wait, so is it not Halley in there anymore? Or am I taking it too literally, and it was still him but now one with the Dark.
"It was to be a week of night and horror, culminating in the eclipse that passed over Ny-Ålesund on the 20th of March, 2015" So on the 15th of March/May/whatever it was still the buildup phase of the ritual. Which was convenient for Gertrude, because she didn't have to rely so much on just one specific point in time to get her plan done. (Didn't work out in the end though, but well...) Also coming back to March/May, May for the Hither Green collapse doesn’t make any sense. MAG 11 was in March, in MAG 40 Elias says March. In rl the eclipse in Norway was also on the 20th March 2015, not May. 
"To begin our seven day feast, we slew the still and lightless beast, and drank of its stagnant blood, submerging the first of the sacrifices in the brackish water it had blessed with its stillness." The Lightless Beast was my favorite monster, RIP v.v So sad it ended that way, I wish there would have been more. Whenever it got some screen time, I got goosebumps.
"But I remember her brute of a husband. He fed the beast for us, you know, when first he believed Lynette might still be saved. Then, later, we faithful served as his fuel to banish it." Okay, am I understanding this correctly: First Robert Montauk fed the beast, then he tried to banish the beast. So which one of those two where the hearts for? I'd say banishing it? Because he did that right until he got arrested, so if the banishment came later, that would match. Also in that moment, when he stabbed the heart, the beast vanished (and that blue light - the light also probably being more a sign of banishment than feeding). Also Rayner says “You didn’t think you could kill it for long, did you?" Kill it sounds more like banishing. What was feeding it then? Those victims on the photos with the symbols on their faces?
"That’s the thing about darkness, isn’t it? You try your hardest to eradicate, flood your surroundings with light, but it’s always there at the edges, waiting for the glow to weaken, to return and cover you forever." Hmmm. If I recall correctly, that is what they used in Lights Out, the feature length film to the eponymous short movie it was based on. God, that short film was excellent, the feature length not so much. Some things only work as short stories and trying to stretch it out and add more and more makes it feel forced.
Just quickly pointing out that Manuela is such a theater kid... the drama of her phrasing! xD
This statement is, I think, the closest we ever get to "delusional" rambling of a cult member about their god(s). I very much dislike those, not because they're scary, but because I find them annoying. It’s the reason why I have such a hard time with The Silt Verses and it also annoyed me in Tunnels. It's just not something for me. And yet, while this statement also has the overly dramatic tone and rambling about worshiping and such, it doesn't annoy me. It's not that strong in a way that I have encountered in other stories. But, it's also not something I find particularly engaging for me.
BASIRA: "Ask her how we can destroy it." JON: "I know how. I just need to see it." The Dark is antithetical to the Eye. The Dark Sun, in its ritual purpose, is supposed to erase sight forever. A thing like this being actually seen by someone who is all about sight, who then even lived to tell the tale makes it lose its power. I love how everything makes sense in this goddamn podcast (except for a few timelines xD).
BASIRA: (overlapping) "Look, it’s okay, John. No one else knows it’s here. And if we just leave it, no one will know." JON: "No, I – (inhale) I’m doing this." What is it, that makes Jon want to see it so badly? (Eye-related) curiosity? Self-destructiveness? The wish to actually destroy the Dark Sun so they can be sure that it won't do any further harm? ... A little spider tugging him towards his second to last mark?
JON: “Get out.” [BASIRA LEAVES. THE ARCHIVIST TAKES SEVERAL STEADYING BREATHS, AND THEN OPENS THE DOOR.] [THE DARK SUN SOUNDS MELODIC, LIKE PIPES GROANING HARMONICS INTO THE WIND, LIKE THE MOURNFUL NOTES OF A CREAKING IRON GATE AS IT IS OPENED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS.] [AN ENORMOUS RUSH OF STATIC BEGINS BUILDING; IT IS NOT THE ARCHIVIST’S STATIC, IS MUCH TOO REEDY AND WISPY FOR THAT.] JON: "It’s – It’s beautiful." [THE STATIC OVERTAKES THE AUDIO FIELD; MANUELA GASPS AND SCREAMS –] MANUELA: "No – NO!" [ALL AT ONCE THE STATIC RUSHES AWAY.] BASIRA: "Jon!" Okay this is the scene I probably have the most critique for when it comes to its execution. But first I also wanna say that the "THE ARCHIVIST TAKES SEVERAL STEADYING BREATHS" ist great acting-wise again. Cause while these breaths are steady, they also get kinda trembling then. Like psyching yourself up to do something you're really afraid of and you are getting more and more afraid in anticipation. And there is a lot of emphasis on how afraid Jon is of his marks in this season (MAG 132 - "I'm scared? When does the fear go away?" / MAG 158 - Elias: "Are you scared, Jon?" - Jon: "Yes."). So, I personally think there should have been a biiiit more time between Jon saying "It's beautiful" and everything suddenly stopping and Basira coming back. It kinda loses weight for me here since it's so short, like it was nothing at all. Just a few more seconds to let it build a bit more, that is all. Am I the only one with this? Any opinions? Also did Jon collapse there again after Basira calls out to him? xD There is a "thud" to be heard before he answers. It's in neither the fan transcript nor the official one, but I'd say it's very clear.
[THEN A SOFT STATIC BEGINS TO FUZZ IN THE BACKGROUND. IT IS ONE WE KNOW, ONE WE HAVE HEARD MANY TIMES BEFORE. A DOOR CREAKS OPEN.] JON: "Did you catch her?" HELEN: "Yes." [THE ARCHIVIST GASPS: THIS IS NOT WHO HE HAD BEEN EXPECTING.] This is pretty much prove that no one can hear the staticky or squealing interference the Fears leave upon the tapes. Otherwise Jon would have already known it's Helen (or something else). I've read this a few times to be a little pet peeve for fan fictions and while I agree that I'd say it's not audible for the characters experiencing it live and it only distorts the tape, I do like to read them as a sort of change in atmosphere. Sort of like a gut feeling you get. The Distortion gives you a headache or makes you get a bit nauseous. The Vast gives you vertigo. With the Lonely it gets colder and such. Maybe not necessary every person is receptive to them, be it at all or just certain Fears, but I think it gives it a bit more spookiness.
HELEN: "How was it?" JON: "Hm?" HELEN: "Looking upon the Dark." JON: "I thought I was going to die." HELEN: "You seem to think that a lot. I remember when you thought you were going to die at my threshold." Classic Distortion move... Jon just had a horrific experience and Helen devalues it. And then she reminds him of another horrific experience like "Haha, remember that, good times"... Helen plays that game so much better than Michael did. She says things that really get me thinking for a long time after the scene.

Soap alum Eva LaRue, who became a fan favorite playing All My Children’s Maria Santos Grey on ABC on and off from 1993 to 2011, will make her General Hospital debut on February 26 as Blaze’s mother, Natalia Rogers-Ramirez. And though she’s been a working actress for nearly 40 years, LaRue admits she had some trepidation before starting her new gig.“I do still get nervous,” she shares. “Of all the different genres, soaps are by far the hardest, I think, because there’s an element of theater to it; there’s no stop-and-go like in nighttime television or in a feature film. There’s no getting to do it again unless there’s some major technical difficulty, so there’s that flying-by-the-seat-of-your-pants kind of feel to it, and it’s also so much dialogue, which is a little anxiety-producing, especially when you’re jumping back into it again after a bunch of years break. So, it’s exciting and scary all at the same time.”Fortunately, she saw some familiar faces upon arriving at the set. “That’s been the best part of the job,” she declares. “I started at GH in January, which was so fun because there are so many All My Children and One Life [To Live] actors over there; so many New Yorkers. When I went in to go do my wardrobe fitting, the first person I saw was Finola [Hughes, Anna], so that was fun. There’s a new guy on the show, Adam Harrington [who plays John], that I did a Lifetime movie [Cries in the Dark] with. He started the same day I did. And Nancy Grahn [who plays Alexis] and I hadn’t worked together before, but she and I are friends. Just seeing everybody has been a blast.”LaRue is enjoying getting to know more about her new alter ego, who is struggling with her daughter’s sexuality. “Natalia is a very conservative Latina, single mom who raised her daughter to be all of these amazing things, supported her and her talent, and went out of her way to make sure she had all she wanted,” the actress explains. “My first scenes are such chewy material, and I was really grateful for that. Natalia walks in as Blaze is coming out of the shower and Kristina is in her bed, so this feels like a major betrayal to her because Blaze has been keeping this big secret.She continues, “She knew her mom was not going to understand it and she doesn’t. It’s not malicious and it’s not out of hate; it’s just out of a surprise and shock and conservativism that Natalia is having a really hard time being okay with it. I think the storyline is great because it’s so topical. There are so many nuances to having to play it with some heart and depth and understanding.”LaRue is also thrilled that she gets to share scenes with Maurice Benard [who plays Sonny], a first for her. “We’ve never worked together before, but we’re acquaintance friends,” she details. “But it felt so legit, so iconic. When I told all my ‘mom friends’ who are huge General Hospital fans that I had scenes with Sonny, they were like, ‘No way!’ That was really fun. And our scenes together were great.”As was her first day in general. “I loved it,” she enthuses. “You don’t always walk away, thinking, ‘That was a great day at work.’ Sometimes you’re like, ‘Oh, I can’t believe that’s gonna air,’ but I walked away that day going, ‘Oh, my God. I feel so good about this. Yay!’ I really walked away on cloud nine. I was very excited.”While her length of time on the show is undetermined for now, LaRue would be open to a longer Port Charles stay. “They brought me on for the story, and I don’t know anything other than that,” she notes. “I’m recurring right now, but I would love to hang out and recur for as long as they need me or want me. It’s such a great place to work.”

Random thoughts I had during my fifth viewing of the cinematic masterpiece "Cocktail" (1988)
Well... more like my 5 2/3 viewing bc I got like 2/3 through it and then my mom was like "why didn't you tell me you were gonna watch it, I would have wanted to watch it too" so I lied about how far I was through it "there's still a lot left we can start it over" and I watched the same movie almost twice in a row in the span of a few hours :)
"Wild Again" by Starship is one of the only good songs tbh, although "Addicted to Love" and "When Will I Be Loved" are also pretty alright. But the soundtrack is lowkey horrendous imo
I stand by my previous standalone post- no one has ever been that excited to get on a fkin Greyhound bus
Benefit of the bus, however- the scene with him and the baby; I feel like Tom just vibes really well w kids because he's such a smiley, fun, and chaotic lil guy and gREAT now I have baby fever again thx 💖
Oh the blatant plot exposition about his parents that they beat us over the head with oh-so-subtly
Oh the foreshadowing throughout that is even less subtle
One of my favorite quotes in any movie, bc it makes me feel better about my life being in disarray and not knowing what to do about it, I guess, is the “Most things in life, good and bad, just kinda happen to ya.”
Tom's still got his high little baby voice 😩
Even as a college graduate, the interviewing scene hits way too hard 🥲😩
Someone needs to acknowledge that the Red Eye looks like the most disgusting thing
Wish the dress shirt and tie fit had been featured more because it does things to me, but the scenes contrasting his first and second shift at the bar are when I first developed TC brain rot and fell in love w that lil goofball
I can’t judge the girl giving him the "fuck me eyes" bc have you seen him, plus she’s showing restraint compared to what I would do tbh
The adult learners usually drove me nuts in my classes (which I know is terrible but shhhhh) but I felt so bad for Sheila Rivkin
This professor really thinks he’s doing standup comedy or smth
Honey don’t put your face on the subway stairs that's arguably more disgusting than a Red Eye
The timeline of this movie is pretty hard to follow tbh; much as I adore it, you never know every time a scene changes whether it's been two days or like 3 months
What the actual fuck was the whole yuppie poet thing about- it's like when I used to watch those 60s Frankie and Annette movies where the weirdest shit would just happen for no reason and I felt like there was some social commentary or inside joke or smth that was just going way over my head that, if I had existed in that time, would have just been like "oh yeah that makes total sense"
The amount of raw sexual energy that this man exudes- I remember someone's post from a while back that was like "why is Cocktail like a 'mom' movie that all the moms are still obsessed with" but just like imagine if you saw this in theaters when it first came out
The only man allowed to wear beach shirts and look sexy, change my mind
I've always thought Elisabeth Shue is so incredibly underappreciated as an actress, smth about her line delivery and expressions just seems very genuine and naturalistic idk
She just orders “a beer” WHAT KIND???
So scary tbh how much he was becoming like Doug even being apart from him for a while
The side eye and shade Jordan gives Doug in this scene cracks me up every time without fail
The reggae singer absolutely popping tf off in his silver lamé suit ✨
Brian and Jordan both pulling the “I’m not like other girls” lmao
Sure she’s lowkey a manic pixie dream girl but I still love her
WATCH THE ROAD WHILE U DRIVIN THE CAR BRIAN 😤
If this movie was remade in modern times (God forbid) Brian would 100% be one of those guys with a hustle culture boss up motivational entrepreneur Instagram account. And Doug would perhaps be one of those cringy creepy pickup artists that talks about low-value women and compares them to horses and thinks he can mind-trick them into falling madly in love w him
If someone was waking me up early every morning to drink carrot juice I would commit crimes
The artist guy who made that exhibit looks like the oiliest man I’ve ever seen
Jordan’s dad says “bartender” like it’s a slur
When Brian tears up the check it always makes my lil heart just 💗💫🥺 the character evolution
Why did I only have this thought on my like fifth viewing of this movie, but I wonder if he hadn’t escorted Kerry back to her apartment if he would have gotten back in time to save Doug, and then who knows what would’ve happened bc then he wouldn’t have felt compelled to tell Jordan how much he really loved her and ask Pat for help and all that
WHEN HE FIGHTS EVERYONE OFF TO GET TO JORDAN what can I say, I'm a sucker for grand and melodramatic romantic gestures and proclamations of love
The teasing and singing along at the wedding is getting a little too real guys stop making this awkward 👀😬
I don’t care how unrealistic the end is, and that in real life they would have 100% soon gotten divorced, bc I want to believe that people can change and that all of the tribulation was worth it + enough for Brian to become a good dad/husband and successful but with it not being above and at the expense of his family; he would be such a fun and chaotic dad and their life would be so hectic w twins but I want to believe they could do it :( it comforts my cynical and depression-addled brain to believe they could do it :(

and now... in honor of the modern au sanemi os having surpassed... *drumroll*... the 10k word mark *hold for applause* (thank you thank you) i shall bother you with THOUGHTS
modern au kamaboko squad and their childhood trauma movies (heavily inspired by me and my friends)
tanjiro: harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban - listen zenitsu said it was good (he had a crush on emma watson) and their parents wouldn't find out anyway (they watched it at a sleepover when they were seven and eight respectively) so tanjiro let himself get talked into it. long story short they both ended up crying and running to zenitsu's grandpa when the dementors showed up and tanjiro never let zenitsu pick a movie again.
zenitsu: every movie was scary to him as a kid disney's hercules, seeing meg get crushed by that pillar gave him nightmares for MONTHS.
inosuke: little inosuke was too busy running around outside and eating things not meant for human digestion to bother with movies but he watches princess mononoke at tanjiro's birthday when they're fourteen and ends up being so distraught by the death of the forest god that he joins green peace.
nezuko: her mother took her to watch a princess lillifee movie when she was four and she ended up crying because they were the only ones in the theater and that scared her. (true story, except i didnʼt have a meltdown over it and my mom told me years later that she wished i had gotten scared so she would've had an excuse to walk out of the movie)
genya: sanemi had a sleepover with mitsuri when genya was nine and they were watching pirates of the caribbean. genya had hidden under sanemi's bed to spook them but then he couldn't come out and ended up sobbing when the ghost pirates showed up and then sanemi and mitsuri spent the rest of the evening consoling him and watching lego ninjago to help him calm down. (genya doesn’t like pirates now and sanemi knows it's mean but he thinks it's kinda funny)
kanao: kanae LOVES old disney movies and tried to drag all of her little sisters into it until five year old kanao watched snow white with her and got so freaked out at the entire final fight against the evil queen that they had to turn off the movie. kanao slept in kanae's bed for two weeks and she never actually finished the movie.
aoi: watched mulan when she was six and couldn't sleep properly for weeks. she told everyone who asked that it was the huns that scared her but she was actually super paranoid that mushu would crawl under her blanket in the night and bite her. he was her monster under the bed until she was like thirteen and she would rather die than tell anyone about this.
AHHH YAY!!! :D I'm so hyped for you and your work friend!
KJRKJEKJRJERKJEJKRJKE HELP! I relate so hard to Tanjiro and Zenitsu in that; those freaking dementors messed me UP when I was a kid! Nowadays I find them pretty neat, but little 9 year old Squiggily? Nope, not happening akjrekjajkr
AND OOF- I haven't seen Hercules, but I can imagine how scary that scene was holy-
HELP INOSUKE KJWJREJKRJKER He's sitting there eating a bug he found while watching the movie- that scene comes on and he's absolutely distraught and can't even look at the bugs he usually watches for awhile.
KEKRKJEKJRJEKRJKEJRJE The anxiety is real, I feel you Nezuko! (and good lord the movie was that bad? kjarkekjrajkrjkeajkrj No but really that's both adorable and utterly hilarious kjarkjeakjr)
OH NO GENYA!!! Poor little guy; all was fine and good until those ghost pirates showed up! Sanemi probably has the caribbean theme song set for his ringtone whenever Genya calls him. No one gets it cause Sanemi rarely talks about the movie and Genya's too embarrassed by the childhood memory to explain akjrjkeajkr
OH NO KANAO! Bless her- that scene was pretty intense! Though the idea of her sharing a bed with her older sister is beyond wholesome oh my goodness kjaerjkajkrajke I like to think she eventually finished the movie as an adult- or at the very least in highschool but still gets freaked out over it somewhat.
OH AOI! I think she'd really love Mulan besides that part cause Mulan herself is so amazing- she's got that complicated relationship cause she watches it but also gets paranoid whenever she does for the Mushu reasons until like you said, 13.
These are absolutely amazing and now I wanna share a few to add to it hehe!
Giyu: He watched The Nightmare Before Christmas with Sabito when they were around 11; everything was fine until Boogie got his sack ripped off and all the bugs came out. He has a somewhat mild fear of bugs since- if there's one in the apartment he'll text Sabito a picture of it with a "Help."
Shinobu: She doesn't get scared of movies too often but that one scene in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure where Large Marge made The Face (TM) freaked her out so badly she had nightmares for weeks. It's on her "Will burn it before I watch it again" list.
Akaza: You know that blue trumpet thing from Courage The Cowardly Dog? "You're not perfect"? That whole show was a time but like- that one thing was the kind of scary it creeped up on Akaza. He watched it, and slowly over the course of a few days he was too scared to touch the VCR tape of the cartoon. He still quotes things from the show- mainly King Ramsey quotes cause he found it funny. (Plus it freaks Douma out jarkjeakjrje)
Thank you for sharing these- they were absolutely DELIGHTFUL! (And I got your Askeladd ask friend! I'm just really slow to reply to things lately lols)

15 Questions/15 People
Rules: answer these 15 questions and tag 15 people
Thanks for the tag, @schmem14! This seems like an excellent way to put off the last few tasks of my work day 🙃
Are you named after anyone? Nope! My name has no familial significance. My parents just liked the names together.
When was the last time you cried? Two nights ago when I finally watched the third season of Derry Girls - those last two episodes took me the fuck out. WAIT. This is actually a lie. I cried last night watching Vir Das' covid comedy special on Netflix.
Do you have kids? No, but I have no shortage of little humans in my life that leave their smudgy little fingerprints on my heart 💗
Do you use sarcasm a lot? Honestly, yes. Though incrementally less as the years pass.
What's the first thing you notice about people? Oooohhh this is a thinker. Now I'm going "oh my god, when was the last time we saw people? Do we? See people?" 😂😂 I'm thinking back to a meeting I had a couple days ago, and I'd say the first thing I noticed when I walked in the room was what color of clothing people were wearing (there was an inexplicable amount of red in that room). This makes it easier to find them again after the initial noticing 😆 I'd say this is typically followed by their facial expressions/mood, so that I can vary my approach to how I interact to put the other person most at ease.
What's your eye color? Listen, this is actually a very big point of contention for me. At first glance, they appear brown. Just regular, run-of-the-mill brown. But CLOSE UP and IN THE LIGHT it becomes evident that around my pupil is a ring of honeyed brown, and then a lighter golden green, and then a darker green around the outside. The point is, there is GREEN in my eyes, and my entire family has been playing a game the last decade where they refuse to acknowledge the existence of any bit of green in my eyes and they are EVIL FOR IT.
Scary movies or happy endings? Give me a happy ending, but make me suffer so hard for it. I categorically do not like to be scared. That being said, I once went to a showing of Jaws where you float in tubes on a giant lake at night with the movie projected on a screen on the shore. Legs dangling, not touching the bottom, in the dark while watching a shark movie. There is only one explanation for the decisions that led me to that moment and that explanation is demon possession.
Any special talents? Yes, and that is my ability to make a disaster out of literally every kitchen I've ever set foot in. If I make something, I also make a mess. Those are the rules.
Where were you born? In the heart of the U.S. Midwest.
What are your hobbies? Does collecting hobbies count as a hobby? I'm actually so good at getting really interested in something, going balls to the wall, and then losing interest for 6-72 business months because something else caught my attention (see knitting, creative journaling, paper crafts). Reading is the one constant, and I guess writing belongs on this list now.
Do you have any pets? I like other people's pets, but I just don't think I'm a pet person myself, you know? We never had inside pets growing up. And I travel for work, so it doesn't really seem practical.
What sports do you play/have you played? I'm far more creatively than athletically inclined. Growing up I played softball and volleyball. I was a social tennis player (read: ya girl was Not Good™️). But I was more of a band/choir/theater/speech kid, and carried the choir and theater aspects forward into college.
How tall are you? I am 5 ft + 4.75 inches (or about 164.5 cm). Shortest one in my family. The only reason my mom and I are the same height now is because she started shrinking.
Favorite subject in school? Honestly, I loved every subject. I just loved to learn. Even in college, I don't think I could give an answer. I loved taking history courses. And I loved my finance and accounting courses because I adore financial analysis.
Dream job? I'm living it: a job where I get to interact with coworkers and the public; where I get to constantly learn new things; where assignments and teammates rotate; where I can apply for special assignments; that pays me a comfortable salary; that has great health and fringe benefits; that keeps me from getting bored.
Tagging 15 people feels exhausting, so let's go with a smaller multiple of 5 and say 10. Please feel free to ignore or participate as you are able (or please join in if you'd like to and weren't tagged): @akorah @eveningstruggle @whimsymanaged @echoesofmyfootsteps @juls99 @roseharpermaxwell @pia-bartolini @petalsfordraco @they-call-me-megs @sunlightdaydream

Skeleton and S/O are watching a horror movie in a movie theater. Suddenly, jumpscare! What is their reaction?
Undertale Sans - You jump hard and grab his arm by reflex. Sans, who is sleeping for more or less one hour now, faceplants on the ground, still snoring. You are all alone in this. Why did you even suggest this movie?
Undertale Papyrus - He screams so loud several people have a flee answer and instinctively runs away from him. Everyone is looking his way after that. Papyrus is bright orange and trying to sink in his seat now. You're gently patting his arm. Also, he's not sleeping after this.
Underswap Sans - You're terrified, and trying to hide in his scarf. Blue is fascinated by the beheaded woman still walking on the screen. He just laughed a little at your reaction. He doesn't think the movie is scary, he is just having fun.
Underswap Papyrus - He didn't want to be here. His bones are rattling uncontrollably since the beginning of the movie, but this? This is too much. When you turn around to comfort him after the jumpscare, Honey is GONE. He teleported back home and he's going to hide in his closet for at least the rest of the day. BYE.
Underfell Sans - He jumps, then instinctively growls back at the screen. You put a hand in front of his mouth, making him stop quite immediately. Red then realised what he was doing and his face is crimson. He's pouting because a bunch of small kids laughed at him when he growled at the movie. Stupid movie, stupid killers, stupid humans doing stupid things...
Underfell Papyrus - It was a reflex. He threw a rain of bones at the screen. It's hard to scare him, but that shit sure scared him. The screen is ruined, and the movie theater employees are not very happy about this. You're going to pay for the damages. Edge won't even look you in the eyes, he feels so ashamed.
Horrortale Sans - It's worst than Edge. He got spooked and instantly lunged to attack the character on the screen, propulsing himself above the crowd. Everyone is looking at him, hanging on the screen, growling like hell, while your whisperscreaming at him to come back this instant. You are banned from the movie theater.
Horrortale Papyrus - He leans his head next to your ear. "WHY IS EVERYONE SO SPOOKED? IS IT BECAUSE OF SOMETHING I DID?" He is quite nervous. He's not used to so many scared humans in one room. He didn't even find the jumpscare scary. He is just very confused and worried he did something wrong.
Swapfell Sans - He suddenly crushes your hand so hard he almost breaks it. It's alright, it's a movie, he's not scared, it's not real. ... RIGHT? Omg, what if it's real? He could never sleep again after that movie. This is the worst time of his life. Even working in the royal guard was better than this.
Swapfell Papyrus - Once everyone is calmed down, he's the little shit who suddenly screams, scaring the shit out of everyone in the room, before falling in uncontrollable giggles because of how well his stupid prank worked. You and most of the people in the room are considering the risks of beating his ass up in public.
Fellswap Gold Sans - He gives you a despising look. Really? You are scared of this primitive jumpscare? What are they teaching you in your school? This is clearly for baby bones, and the special effects are not even well made. He doesn't understand why everyone is reacting. Clearly, he is the superior being in this place and you should all kneel in front of him instead of looking at this stupid screen. What a waste of time. He could be comploting to take over the world right now if you didn't insist to go in here.
Fellswap Gold Papyrus - You two jumped, then giggled at each other's reaction. Coffee likes a good horror movie from time to time, he's having a nice day. You two should do this more often!

👽💅🍳🎭🧿♦️🔱🃏🔥 Shrane
Tumblr media
Answers under the readmore because it's gonna be a long one uvu
👽- What is your stance on aliens? Should they be treated just like mutants?
W-well I haven't personally... ever seen an alien of any sort but--- I-I guess... I guess perhaps I'd li-like to treat them just like... well just like anyone else? I-I'd have to ask a superior really... w-what my stance on them should be...
===> He shifts uncomfortably at the question, avoiding eye contact.
💅- Do you have time or resources for self care or small luxuries?
Most all of my time is allocated to my duties in some capacity... E-except for leave which... well I ha-haven't taken leave in awhile... Would my succulents count... would they count as luxuries? If they--- if they do then I suppose I do have the resources for those! O-of course the ones I Have don't require a whole lot of time to care for on purpose...
🍳- What sort of cuisine do you normally eat? Are you openly okay with items labelled only as grubsauce or grubloaf?
Maybe it's ironic... I d-don't actually eat that well myself. I tend to take meals much later than others on my crew, between other duties I carry out so I only have time to eat protein bars, or ready-made meals that can be easily heated and eaten on the go. As for g-grubsauce and grubloaf.... I try not to think ab out it.
🎭- How do you access entertainment? What is available to you to do for fun?
==> There is a quiet laugh, before he pauses.
Oh! This... this was a serious question. My deepest apologies.... T-there are some recreational areas available on the ship but I rarely check them out... P-perhaps I should but--- I always worry about being seen slacking off. I am grateful for the position I've been given a-and don't want to seem as if I am not taking my duties seriously.
O-on leave sometimes I will go to movies! There are some theaters which give small discounts to fleet members, which I am grateful for!
🧿- Do you believe in horrorterrors? Or do you believe they're just scary stories?
Yes. Y-yes I believe in them... I-I would not like to think about them too hard actually. T-thinking about them too long gives me the heebie jeebies.
♦️- Do you think it's dangerous for lowvbloods to be pale with highbloods?
I think...
==> He pauses to consider his words carefully
I think any relationship between lowbloods and highbloods can come with certain dangers. A-although... Don't tell anyone I said it but... Maybe that... Maybe that makes it a little exciting?
🔱- How different do you think Alternia would be if the planet wasnt ruled as a tyranny? Would it be better or worse?
.....
I would prefer not to comment on this subject.
🃏- What are your thoughts on organized religion?
I am not a par-part of it, however I have no negative thoughts! If someone b-believes in something then... then I am supportive of them! I-I imagine this is mostly asking about the religion surrounding the Clown Church?
Again I am not a believer, however I do find--- I find the little I do know to be interesting, a-and many of the members of the church that I have met are fascinating i-in a mildly scary way? I find the paint to be rather beautiful oftentimes although I-I'm not sure if it's okay to comment on it? Goodness is it okay to mention if you're an outsider? Oh gosh I'd hate to be rude about it! Golly...
🔥- Have you ever done something (outside of murder) that most likely should be considered a criminal act, but either wasn't or was just swept under the rug due to your status?
...
My past has been stricken from the record officially. However... When I was young I ran away from the fleet colony that ow--- That I was raised in. I have made penance for it.
===> He wonders, however, if his not being a battery could be considered criminal... But his boss had vouched for him as a chef! So surely it was okay.....

3 thing ask:
2, 6, 11, 33, 34, 37
Three movies you have rewatched many times
1. Spirit: Stallion Of The Cimarron. I went through a phase when I was nine/ten where I’d rewatch this movie multiple times a week for… like a year 😅
2. Bolt. Underrated movie!! This was another one I looped when I was younger, and I tried writing a fanfic about it when I was eleven maybe but gave up after one page or something lol
3. The Good Dinosaur. Yet another one I looped when I was younger :) I saw this one in theaters too!!
I went through a major animation phase when I was 9-13. All these + How To Train Your Dragon were pretty much all I watched aksgaksgaksg
I still have all my animash edits saved :) Perhaps I will share them someday…
Three characters that inspire you
Ooh man, hmm…
1. Tommy (DSMP). This answer seems silly at first, but I’m always touched by how much and how hard he tries. He tries so hard to be good, and to help people, and to never give up on people, and it’s amazing. It’s rare that I find characters who are so, for lack of better words, good. He’s just a really good kid.
He also loves most everything he touches, and he loves hard. He loves so hard that it’s impossible to not see it, to not feel it, to not be changed by it, and that’s freaking powerful.
(I’m really having to Think about this question, because while I like a bunch of characters, I’m not often inspired by those characters)
2. Zelda (BOTW/TOTK). LOOK AT ME PICKING A CHARACTER FROM A VIDEO GAME!!! WOO!!!
If I had to describe Zelda in one word, I’d choose “selfless”. So, so selfless. It’s crazy.
The things she does for her kingdom and for Link and for the things she cares about is near-unmatched; she’ll do hard things for the good of others, and I mean really hard things. Heartbreaking, painful, scary things that I honestly probably wouldn’t do.
I think she’s really neat :) And I think I could learn a lot about being selfless from her.
3. Goshhhh I’m kinda drawing a blank here ummm
*spongebob time-passing-screen-thing with the french guy*
Okay so I literally hopped off tumblr for the night and came back to this question twelve hours later lol and I still cannot think of a character :’0
Three books that you would recommend everyone to read
!!!!
OOOOOOOH!!! OKAYOKAY!!!
1. The One And Only Ivan :D This is one of four stories that has ever made me tear up, and the only story that has ever made me cry. It’s just… ough. It’s beautiful and unique and it’s amazing it’s amazing it’s amazing I CANNOT tell you enough how amazing this book is oh my gosh-
AND FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING, DON’T FREAKING WATCH THE MOVIE! IT SUCKS! IT TOOK ALL THE THINGS THAT MADE THE BOOK UNIQUE AND GOT RID OF THEM AND THE RESULT IS AN INFURIATING PIECE OF MEDIA THAT DOES NOT DO THE BOOK JUSTICE! DON’T FREAKING WATCH THE MOVIE! READ THE BOOK!
2. What Beauty There Is by Cory Anderson. I read this one very recently, I think in December, and… wow. Absolutely stunning. Just… wow. It’s haunting—that’s probably the best word for it—and beautiful and deep and dark and tragic. It’s the sort of book that made me feel a bit heavier while I was reading.
(Also one of the four stories that has made me tear up sooooo)
There is a bit (not a lot at all) of swearing, and one scene that bordered the lines between PG-13 and something above PG-13; it was like… I don’t know, it’s kinda confusing. It was sort of sexual but nothing really ended up happening. It was more like an implication or a suggestion.
But other than those things, the book was fantastic and I highly highly recommend!!
3. THE ROAD BY CORMAC MCCARTHY!!! YES THIS DESERVES CAPS LOCK!!!
LIKE
!!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
It’s one of the coolest and best stories I have ever hekkin read and it’s so sad and so amazing and so well-formatted and so interesting and so OUGHHHH
I need to reread this again 😭
There’s like, one swear word maybe? Two? Hardly any, really. But there’s definitely some disturbing scenes that would make a lot of people uncomfortable, so I’d advise caution.
But yesssssss this story is so good I’m gonna scream 😭
Three scented candles that you love the most
Gonna be perfectly honest here, I don’t like candles all that much. I just… eh. I don’t see the point. Not my thing.
So instead of doing scented candles, I’ll just list three of my favorite scents in general 😅
1. Vanilla :)
2. Certain flowersss maybe?? Some of them smell nice? Like vanilla but with honey and sort of like yogurt now that I think about it.
But a lot of flowers don’t smell like anything to me, so meh.
3. Uhhh
(This question is making me realize that my sense of smell is either not very strong or I just don’t… care that much about it lol because this is hardddd)
3. Like. Food. Good food. Yyyyyes.
Three people in history that inspire you the most
This is making me remember that I really do like history, and I like learning about history/people in history, but it is MISERABLE trying to find history books that aren’t hard to read or incredibly boring. So unfortunately I don’t know as much history as I would like :(
And I do like a bunch of people in history, but like the character question, I’m not often inspired by them.
Three languages you would love to learn
1. ASL!! I’ve been wanting to learn this one for years but haven’t been able to figure out how :’0 I would really like to take a class, but they’re surprisingly difficult to find.
2. Dutch! I think it’s super satisfying to listen to and I think it’d be fun :D
3. FRENCH!!! I technically know a little bit of French, but definitely not enough to say that I truly speak it.
