What are some of ypurMichael/Jeremike headcanons? Could you share them with us?

Oooooh there's SO MANYYY These two are all I've been thinking about for over a year now and I don't plan to stop anytime soon lmao Putting a read more in there so you don't spend 10 years scrolling past this post

MICHAEL W. AFTON (voice claim: Kenai from Brother Bear)

His full name is Michael William Afton, he never mentions his second name to anyone for obvious reasons though

He was born in Utah

Autistic

Bisexual

Big sharp canines

He has vitiligo

He's a momma's boy

Pathetic wet cat boyloser

Clara and William divorced when the kids were very young. William got to keep them because he had better income and could provide "a better home" for them. He made it impossible for Clara to meet the kids again and told them that mom doesn't love them anymore. Michael didn't want to believe it but as the time passed, he eventually did

Clara was writing letters to the kids but William would burn them all before they could see them

Michael took the worst traits after William, unfortunately. He deals with sudden mood swings and serious anger issues

He was never taught a healthy way to cope with his emotions.

Michael sucks at explaining what he feels so he would often get frustrated and angry when people don't get why he's feeling a certain way

He's been dealing with night terrors every since his parents divorced

William always treated Evan and Elizabeth better than him so he feels jealous of them. Evan was too little to truly understand what's been happening around him but he did have a feeling that it's unfair, Elizabeth on the other hand was a daddy's girl and despite feeling like Williams wasn't giving her enough attention, she still always agreed with him and would stay on his side

Michael breaks stuff a lot. His room is always a mess because of this. He tore apart countless sketchbooks and notebooks, broke mirrors and even threw furniture around. After this kind of anger outbreaks, he always breaks down in tears and cries himself to sleep

Mike rarely looks in the mirror because of his many times people told him he looks just like his father. He never looks at family photos either

Michael and William have more in common than their appearance. Mike's small gestures and body language are exactly the same too. He hates it because people point it out all. the. time. There's nothing ha can do about it though

Even tho Michael hates his father, deep inside he still desperately craves his love and attention so he clings to any, even the slightest bits of kindness he gets from him. That makes it really easy for William to manipulate him and make him do whatever he wants him to do

Michael gets in fist fights a lot

He's not a stranger to violence in general but he's also really anxious and insecure. He always feels like he has to prove to everyone that he's nothing like William but most of the times it only shows how similar they are

Michael only cries when he's sure nobody can see it. William used to yell at him for crying when he was a child so he learned that he can never show any weakness

After the bite of 83, Michael experienced really bad panic attacks when he was exposed to animatronics or even his Foxy mask.

William would still force him to help in the pizzeria and make him work with the robots on purpose

Michael was forced to help at the diner/pizzerias since he was only 8 years old. Even when he was older, he never got officially hired there. William would just pull the "I pay for everything, you live off of my money so you owe me" card and make him work

He was anemic when he was about 13-14 years old, mostly because of how quickly he grew in that time and bad eating habits

Michael frowns a lot, not only when he's angry or irritated though. He tends to frown as a default expression which leads to a lot of misunderstandings

He's REALLY bad at taking care of plants

He loves cats and animals in general

JEREMY "REMY" FITZGERALD (voice claim: Seán McLoughlin aka Jacksepticeye)

Irish

Nonbinary [he/they]

Gay

Has two older brothers

Himbo

Big dumb silly idiot

Jeremy was born in Galway, Ireland and moved to California with his brothers and parents when he was 3 years old

They moved to Hurricane, Utah 16 years later and lived alone since

BIGGEST QUEEN FAN

Absolutely adores plants and has so many of them in their small apartment

Did construction work before getting a job at Freddy's

Has lots of religious trauma, all of it actually

Many piercings, most of them done by himself (idiot)

Has a big ivy tattoo

Was kicked out by his parents for being gay and struggled a lot to survive before starting a construction job. He even had to steal food a couple of times

Has ADHD

Has type 2 diabetes

Jeremy always dreamed about having a beautiful home with a big garden with lots of flowers and other plants in it but the best he got was a small old apartment filled with plants in pots.

They're very allergic to cats but that doesn't stop him from shoving his face into every kitty's belly

Jeremy was neglected as a child, his parents never planning a third child and not being too keen on having to raise another one. They put most of the responsibilities on their older sons which made them dislike their youngest sibling from the very beginning

Mary Anne and Patrick (the parents) never really tried to hide their indifference towards Jeremy, at east when they weren't in public. Because, naturally, they would hate for people to talk badly about them

Jeremy spent most of his childhood alone in their room, wandering the streets or spending time with Citlali, their best friend, and her parents. Remy adored them all and preferred hanging out with them over being with their own family

After moving to Utah he became very open about their identity. Moving away from his parents was difficult but also provided a whole new opportunity to finally be himself and make their own decisions

there is A WHOLE LOT more but this is all I've got in my head right now saiduhsada SHAMELESS PLUG TIME BUT YOU WILL LEARN A LOT MORE ABOUT MY JEREMIKE IN THE FIC I'M WRITING, IT'S CALLED "Insufficient" ON AO3

Hybrid Creation Logs

SH-003

——————————

Notes from observation of stalker human hybrid SH-003 from Dr. Kendra Danan: 10-21-2228 SH-003 is showing signs of very high intelligence and is already picking up language despite his mental age. The other hybrids did not show this much absorption of knowledge at the same stage. However, he seems to have attached himself to Dr. Peter von Schneeplestein, a visitor from the Teuton Alteran branch, who still have ties to their ancient German roots- keeping that fascinating culture alive, much like the Mongolians from Torgal. Which means- SH-003 has caught a slight jumbled accent and has found a preference for using German sayings. Much like how SE-002 has a slight Irish accent thanks to constant interaction with Dr. Xander. A strange phenomenon to be sure but… fascinating. And adorable… Oh and he’s quite popular with the other scientists. Mostly because a mutation caused his body to be more white and his underbelly to be more aqua. Peter squealed to everyone that he looked like he was wearing a white coat like us- and now I can’t un-see it! Also, it’s evident that SH-003 had some sight issues. He seems to be near-sighted and accommodations have been made- including specially goggles for him to wear. You’d think being genetically modified would rectify such an ailment but it must be passed down from Mcloughlin’s genes. I think he’s nearing the age where we first introduced SE-002 to RR-001. And the results of their integration have been wildly successful. Both boys are more lively than ever before. I am worried about introducing a predator to two pacifists but… SH-003 seems to be on the gentler side as well. Really, he only showed true signs of predator-like aggression during his first two weeks and when he feels threatened. Perhaps, they will all get along? However, his near twin subject SD-004 is a different story entirely…

——————-

“CHASEEEE!!”

The rabbit Ray merman was awoken by Jack practically bouncing on where his stomach met his tail. He groaned and try to hide his face under one of his wings. “What? Can’t I sleep in a little longer?” Chase yawned.

“Not today!” Jack protested, slapping his hands down on Chase’s side. “The white suits said we’re meeting the new hybrid today!! So you gotta get up!! C’mon!!”

Chase groaned again and flopped over to hide his face in the sand. “5 more minutes…”

“Chaseee!!” Jack whined, flopping onto the older hybrid’s back. He curls some of his tails around Chase’s tail and mumbles, “Aren’t you excited to meet a new brother?”

“Course I am,” Chase muttered back, cheek pressed into the sand. “I just wanna be more awake when we meet him is all-“

“You’ll sleep most of the morning if I don’t wake you!” Jack protests.

Chase chuckles, “s’not my fault the sand is warm and cozy…” He then flips over quickly and grabs Jack, pinning him in a hug against his stomach. “C’mon…! Don’t you wanna cuddle a bit longer with your big bro, Jack?”

Jack screeches and squirmed in Chase’s hold, “Nooo! You’re squishing me! Chaseee!!”

They both suddenly freeze as they hear the sound of a hatch opening and something new entering the water. A cautious voice calls out, “um… h-hallo?”

Jack squeals in delight and hits multiple of his tails in Chase’s face, making the older boy cry out and rub at it as the younger brother speeds through the water towards the voice.

In the open water is a tiny merman with a white and aqua tail. He has light green hair like sea moss and purple stripes along his tail and even on his arms. His tail fin is big and wide and he has several large dorsal fins running up his back. And, he has goggles on, which surround the same blue eyes Chase and Jack had. Those eyes look out shyly as he holds his arms tight to his middle.

Jack gasps in delight at seeing the new hybrid. “Oh my stars…! A stalker!! You’re so tiny!!”

The new hybrid startles at the new voice and looks at Jack with wide eyes. “Oh uh- h-hallo and uh… t-thank you, I suppose…?”

Chase soon swims up beside Jack and laughs. “He’s about the size you were when you first got here, Jack!”

“Aw really? I guess I must be growing a lot!” Jack giggles. Chase ruffles his hair then smiles at the new hybrid. “Hi there. I’m Chase and this is Jack- what are you called?”

The stalker hybrid nervously messes with his fingers. “Oh uh… mein name is SH-3…”

“Why do you talk like that?” Jack suddenly pipes up, tilting his head at SH.

SH’s mood shifts quickly as he scowls and flicks his tail in agitation, “why do you talk like that?” He counters with a huff.

Chase holds up his hands with a nervous laugh, “J-Jack didn’t mean anything by it! We just… haven’t heard anyone talk like you much… maybe some of the other doctors… but not much.”

“We gotta give you a name that matches!” Jack says excitedly.

“W-What do you mean?” SH stammers, “I already have a name! It is-“

“No no! That one doesn’t count!” Jack emphasizes, “You need a name like the white suits! Something that doesn’t make us sound like- like an es… esperimint-“

“Experiment, Jack…” Chase provides gently. Jack nods eagerly, “yeah that! We’re more than just that- we should get names that are more than just letters and numbers!!”

SH seems to contemplate this before he slowly nods. “Mmm… o-okay… I… I think I would like that…”

“Great!” Jack says excitedly, his tails twirling to show it. Then he hums and looks at SH with a critical eye. The tiny merman squirms a bit under the gaze. Finally, Jack pipes up with, “I’m getting a couple names from you! Guess it’s other white suits you know- like… Fitz! Orrr Nikolai? Or hm… Henrik?”

Chase perks up at this and smiles, “He seems like a Henrik, not gonna lie.”

SH’s eyes roll and he scoffs, crossing his arms. “Please… those are all ridiculous names! If you’re gonna use the scientists' names you might as well call me… H-Henrik von Schneeplestein or something!” He grumbles, thinking of Dr. Peter. Though, he had to admit… thinking of sharing a name with him almost made SH feel… warm?

Jack and Chase exchange looks before the two of them grin at SH. “We could call you Schneep!” Jack says mischievously. Chase giggles and nods, “Yeah I like that!”

SH quickly flushes and looks away with raised shoulders, “…please just… stick with Henrik… I suppose I… like that.”

“Aww but Schneep is fun to say!” Jack giggles and starts to float around the stalker mer, “Schneep! Schneep! Schneep! Schneeep!!”

Chase laughs and pulls Jack back after a bit, “Alright, little bro- give him some space!”

Henrik seems to perk up at this, “…bro? What does this mean?”

The rabbit Ray blinks, “Oh! Short for brother! Cuz… that’s what we all are, you know?”

Henrik’s eyebrows knit together in confusion, “…we are? I thought brothers were ah… human. Human family members.”

Jack snorts and then goes to grab Henrik’s hands in his. “We are brothers though! Cuz- cuz Xander says we all have the same human DNS-“

“DNA, Jack-“ Chase snickers.

“Oh yeah! DNA! And he says that makes us related! Even if our fish parts are different!” Jack beams. “So now! You’re our new little brother, Henrik!”

The stalker merman’s eyes seem to sparkle as he slowly goes to grip Jack’s hands back. He smiles, “O…okay… brothers. Yes I… I think I would like that…”

Jack and Chase beam and then bring Schneep in for a hug. Henrik stiffens a bit but soon finds himself laughing and enjoying the contact. They were so warm.

Jack soon grabs Henrik and leads them all off to go play. Henrik seems to have trouble keeping up with their energy- since he liked to spend a lot of his time in his own tank watching the education videos the white suits gave him. But, he tries his best.

Soon enough, the lights dim and the boys all start to head towards their sleeping area. Henrik is being led by Jack but seems… nervous. He always felt strange at night. More… angry. But he didn’t know why.

Chase flops into the little nest Jack and him have made- filled with soft kelp, writhing weeds, violet beaus red wort and spotted dock leaves. All hidden amongst the tall creepvines that surrounded the edge of the tank. There’s a small indent in the sand that is clearly made from how Chase curls up in his spot, yawning loudly. Jack laughs and then rushes at Chase and flops onto his side. Chase seems to anticipate this though as he opens up his arm without opening his eyes as Jack eagerly curls around under Chase’s wing. The older merman squints open an eye, looking at how Jack’s tails hardly fit anymore and chuckles. “You’re almost too big to keep hiding under there, Jackaboy-“

Jack sticks his tongue out at Chase and scoots back so his head is lifting up the edge of his wing like a floppy hat. “Too bad! Your wing is too comfy! I’m never leaving!” Chase just laughs and shakes his head.

Henrik hovers anxiously at the edge of the space, unsure if he should join or not. His nerves feel like they’re on fire.

Lost in his train of thought, he doesn’t notice Jack lashing out a hand to grab his fin and try to pull him in until he feels the tug. “C’mon Schneep! Join the pile!”

“Do not touch me!” Henrik suddenly hisses, his teeth looking sharper and his pupils turning more slitted. Jack gasps and shudders under Chase’s fin, looking scared. “Ah I… I’m sorry! I…”

Henrik’s face falls and he scoots back, all aggression fading. He looks equally as scared as he stammers, “I-I… I will go s-sleep somewhere else… g-goodnight!” And then, in a flurry of bubbles, he spurs quickly away from the other two to the other side of the tank.

Chase lifts up his head and looks concerned. He quickly turns over to hug Jack to his chest and wrap him up in his wings.

“I… I didn’t mean to make him mad I…” Jack sniffles. Chase gently shushes him. “It’s okay, Jack… this is all probably a lot for him…”

Jack rubs at his eyes and looks over to where Henrik swam off. “…I don’t think he meant it either… he looked scared.”

“He’s probably not used to being around other people… you were a lot for me to get used to when you first got here.” Chase tries to laugh. Jack rests his head on Chase’s chest and hums, thinking. “… maybe he just… misses his old tank? But… isn’t that lonely?”

“Maybe… sometimes people like being alone. I don’t get it but… maybe Henrik is like that.” Chase answers quietly.

Suddenly, there’s a quiet knock on the glass next to the boys and they both startle up. There’s a man at the window, one they don’t recognize, with goggles like Henrik’s and brighter brown-blond curly hair. He smiles at the boys and then points to the hatch nearby. Chase narrows his eyes but then scoops up Jack to go over to the hatch. The scientist opens it up and hangs in the open air part, fidgeting nervously, “Ah I am- sorry to intrude. I hope I did not wake you two…”

“You talk just like Henrik!” Jack gasps in delight. The doctor blinks and then laughs with a soft, kind expression. “Oh? Did you give a name to SH then? Ha… that is very fitting.. I do not know why I did not think of it…”

“The letter names are icky- we don’t like them,” Jack said plainly. The doctor laughs, “I can agree with that. Perhaps I can learn all of yours in time… You all can call me Peter though… Dr. Peter. I ah- watch over SH- …Henrik.”

“We don’t gotta wait till later! I’m Jack and this is Chase!” Jack said brightly, patting Chase on the chest. Chase smiles shyly. “Hi… Dr. Peter. nice to meet you.”

Dr. Peter smiles warmly, “it is a pleasure… those names all suit you wonderfully…”

“What do you want? Did you need to see Schneep?” Jack asks plainly.

Peter’s eyes widen, “…Schneep?”

“Oh- that’s the other name I wanna call him. He said a long name from another doctor like… schneeple-eplestein… I like how Schneep sounded though so I wanna call him that too! He tries to act like he doesn’t like it but I can tell he does.” Jack answers.

The white suit looks surprisingly touched and smiles even more warmly at the boys. “I see… well… I did come because of S-Schneep, yes.” He pulls something out from his pocket and places it in the water part of the hatch. It’s a well worn piece of scrap metal, with various teeth marks and scratches on its surface. “…He can get very bitey and snippy at night… but I know having this helps him calm down enough to sleep. I was worried he would be missing it…”

Chase and Jack’s eyes widen as they look at the scrap then back up at Peter. Chase smiles and gives the doctor a meaningful look. “…you really care about him, huh?”

Peter’s face flushes and he adjusts his glasses. “I mean… I… I suppose I do but… how could I not? You all are… human too. More human than fish- you are just… children. You all need that care, ja?” He laughs.

Jack giggles and quickly goes to grab the scrap. “We’ll give it to Henrik right away! Thank you, Dr. Peter. Come visit him a lot, okay?” As he says this- he feels a tight tug in his chest. When was the last time he really got to see Xander…?

Peter chuckles and nods. “I will… and I will uh- be seeing you boys around then? Ah… be sleeping tight, okay?” He says a bit awkwardly before closing the hatch. He stiffly waves to the boys before hurrying out.

“…I like him!” Jack grins. Chase laughs and adjusts Jack in his arms. “yeah- I like him too. It’ll be nice to have a new face around.”

“Yeah like- Dr. Goodall is nice and all but… he’s funny. And I really think he cares.”

“Hey! Dr. Goodall cares…” Chase tries to protest.

“Yeah but… he feels different. Dunno why…” Jack says with a shrug. Then he squirms out of Chase’s grip and swims up, holding the scrap. “I’m gonna go find Schneep! Be right back!”

Then, he rockets off before Chase can protest or try to follow. He would but… Jack was better at finding things then he was. And he’s so sleepy. He yawns and slowly floats back down into their nest.

Jack swims around to look for Henrik- finally hearing or… feeling him inside another collection of creepvines on the opposite side of the tank. He pushes aside the leaves and shouts out excitedly, “Henrik! Look wh-!”

He then pauses as he sees and smells blood in the water. Jack gasps as he looks down to see Henrik curled up into a ball, digging sharp looking claws into his arms and drawing out orange blood.

“H-Hey! Henrik, stop that!” Jack shouts as he spurs down and tries to pull Henrik’s hands away from his arms. Henrik growls and lashes out, striking claws across Jack’s cheek. “I said do not touch me!” Henrik screeches, then balks as he sees the orange curling off of Jack’s cheek into the water. Jack touches the cuts thoughtfully and looks at his hand. “…that hurt… huh- haven’t really gotten hurt before…”

“I-I-! I am so sorry I…!” Henrik stammers, tears in his eyes as his little body shakes. He hugs his arms close to his chest. “I-I did not mean to… I- y-you scared me and…!”

Jack quickly swims down and holds out his hands. “Hey hey it’s okay! I can tell you didn’t want to… your head is all jumbled up right now…”

Henrik stares at Jack with wide eyes. “I… y-yes I… how did you know…?”

Jack shrugs, “I hear lots of things from people without really knowing why or how. Maybe it’s something I’ll understand when I’m older. Point is though, I can tell you don’t wanna hurt people.”

Henrik slowly nods and curls up more. “…I do not want to… but at night I just… f-feel so angry and I… I do not know why…!”

“Well… if it helps… Dr. Peter came by to give you something…” Jack says gently, going to pass the scrap over to Henrik. The stalker’s eyes light up and he quickly takes the scrap and goes to hold it tightly, claws digging in and tail wrapped around it protectively. Jack laughs, “you really like that thing, huh?”

The tinier merman looks away, cheeks flushing slightly. “…I do not hurt my doctors if I have this at night… and it… it makes me feel safe…”

“That’s good!” Jack says brightly. “We don’t want our new brother to sleep all alone though! Come on- you can hold that and sleep on your own but at least stay by the nest, okay?”

Jack offers his hand to Henrik and the stalker mer stares at it for a second before he slowly goes to take it, letting Jack pull him back up in the water. “I… I’m… o-okay…”

The two of them swim back to the nest where Chase is peacefully dozing. He blinks open his eyes and smiles dazedly at them, “Hey guys-“ then quickly sits up, his eyes going wide. “Stars-! Is that blood?!”

“Oh yeah but uh- we’re okay!” Jack tries to say calmly as Henrik huddles behind him, his tail trembling a bit.

Chase swims up and brings them over to sit down on the sand then surges up to grab a couple creepvines leaves. He hurries down and hands one to Jack. “Press that against your cheek.” He says gently.

Jack blinks and does so.

Then, Chase goes to take Henrik’s arm but the little merman flinches back and looks scared. Chase smiles softly. “It’s okay… I won’t hurt you.”

“I… I am afraid of hurting you-“ Henrik whispers.

Chase laughs and shakes his head. “If you do it’s okay… this is kinda scary. But us brothers gotta stick together, right?”

Henrik’s eyes widen and then he smiles a bit. He shyly offers his arm to Chase. “..r-right…” Chase beams and takes his arm, going to wrap up the puncture wounds with the leaves and tying them off.

“Where did ya learn to do this, Chase?” Jack asks.

“Oh- an informational video about how to survive on the planet from someone who lived here a long time ago.” Chase says casually. “Dr. Goodall says one day we might get to actually go out into the ocean so… figured it’s good to know.”

Henrik’s eyes sparkle. “oh… I would like to watch that! I… I want to learn to help too! Not.. not to hurt…”

Chase smiles and ruffles Henrik’s hair. “Sure! I’ll see if we can watch it in the morning! For now though? I’m bushed!” He floats back over to the nest and flops into it, sighing contently.

Jack checks to make sure his cheek isn’t bleeding anymore then speeds back over and bounces on Chase’s stomach beside settling into place. Chase oofs and glares a bit at Jack before snorting and rolling over. Jack giggles.

Henrik hesitates, holding his scrap close to his chest. Then, he slowly floats over and then inches his tail to slowly bump up against Chase’s and curl against him. Oh… that contact feels… really nice actually. Henrik seems to get very comfortable very fast, his eyes struggling to stay open. Jack is already breathing softly curled up against Chase’s side, clutching into his wing.

Chase watches with a smile. “Night, lil bros.”

WTCHNG - Septic/Egotober Day 18

TW: Shouting, Spying, Alludment to breaking and entering, Alludment to child abuse (you have to squint to find it)

Egotober:

Septictober: Burns and Numbness

Word count: 575

Henrik hates being angry, hates it, it makes the burn scars on his hands feel like they’re on fire again. The memory of him being pushed into the fireplace and burning and scaring his hands, the feeling of rage quickly cut off by unimaginable pain. And the pain following him throughout most of his life whenever he’d so much as get ticked off.

But here he is, so, so angry and practically charging to the directors office.

He ignores the eyes on him as he exits the elevator, making his way to the directors office door and barging straight through, uncaring of his current phone call.

“And- Whoah whoah what in the world?”

Henrik stands there seething, hands flexing at his side.

“Remove them.” He hisses.

“I'll have to call you back.” The Director tells who's ever on the other side.

“Now, what's this about?” He asks as if he couldn't be bothered, enraging Henrik further.

“REMOVE THEM!” He shouts, slamming his hand.

“Now Dr. Schneeplestein. I'm afraid I can't help if I don't know-”

“The fucking camera's you put in my baby brother's fucking house.” He hisses with a burning rage he's only felt three times before.

Once with his ex-wife (after more therapy than he'd care to admit), Once when Jack was sent into a coma, and Once when Chase went missing.

The Director face falls neutral as he stares at Henrik.

“Now Henrik,“ The Director starts in a false placating way. “I'm not sure what it is exactly you're talking about, perhaps if you sit down and relax we ca-”

He doesn't finish his sentence before Henrik is launching over his desk, grabbing him by the collar and shouting at him

“I DO NOT KNOW HOW FUCKING STUPID YOU THINK I AM BUT I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO TORMENT MY FAMILY FURTHER.”

He's so, so angry, trembling and if was paying attention he would notice his hands had gone numb from the burning pain.

If he wasn't so angry, he would have been surprised at the look of concern on the Director's face as well as the soft green glow.

“So, remove the fucking cameras.” He hisses.

The Director is silent for a few moments, staring him in the eyes and it makes Henrik want to throw him out of the window, he won't, he knows better than that, but he fucking wishes he could.

”Fine.“ The Director says. ”I will let-“

”All of their houses.“

The director stares at him with a blank look.

“I am not fucking stupid, If you have camera's in Jack's I know without a doubt that you put camera's in the others. And if you do not remove them I will dismantle them myself and leave the Antimatter on your porch.”

The Director, though clearly trying to remain neutral, knows he’s wedged into a corner as he grinds his jaw angrily as the two stare each other down.

“Very well.” The Director grounds out.

He reaches over, pressing a button on his desk and speaking into it.

“Please remove all camera's from the McLoughlin's residence... All of them. Thank you.” He doesn't break eye contact with Henrik the entire time, sitting straight again once he's done speaking.

“There.” The Director says, clearly unhappy. “Better?”

“No.” Henrik responds plainly, still so filled with rage and hatred, and without waiting for a response, he turns around a leaves the office before the Director can say anything else.

Caleb Mcloughlin (a black actor who knows so much more about what is and isn’t racist than the majority white fandom) explicitly said Billy was racist (and that Jason was a better person) and the duffer brothers specifically wrote him as a racist villain (it’s really ok to write some characters as interesting VILLAINS that’s what character are made for it’s fiction) I just don’t understand what’s not clicking in the Billy fandom??

firstly, the duffers wrote him as a racist villain and then dacre had them make him not racist.

secondly, i didn’t know caleb had said this! and thats very interesting because billy’s actor has said he isn’t racist, so again i suppose that reinforces what i said in my other response. dacre, and the billy fandom don’t see him as racist because they see through the exterior, whereas poc do see him as racist and it’s intended to be that way. though maybe we wouldn’t be here if the duffers had just been clear on whether he was or wasn’t racist and didn’t give conflicting answers every time.

am very sad that caleb has focused on that aspect of billy but that’s his belief and i won’t tell sit here and say he’s not racist cos if that’s what caleb thinks then i can’t argue on that cos i’m not him.

but on jason being a better person than billy? that makes me laugh - jason went crazy on lucas and the entire town because he lost his girlfriend vs billy who was literally mind controlled and abused by his own father and the mind flayer so that’s just not true but 🤷‍♀️ if that’s what caleb thinks then that’s up to him, i love and respect caleb but i don’t agree with him about billy vs jason - one was a rich kid who lost his gf and the other was a literal abuse victim.

but yeah, i didn’t know caleb said any of this and it gen upsets me. but again, that’s calebs belief, i can’t say shit about that. and we fully accept billy is a villain. we just wish maybe they hadn’t made the villain the only relatable character for some of us.

#stranger things #billy hargrove #harringrove #ann answers #i swear to god #why did caleb have to say this #did he forget season two as well #they all need to rewatch season two #also love that asker specified caleb was black #as if i… didn’t know #as if i wasn’t a hardcore lumax stan on twitter but okay

Origins AU: Characters

Kind of a rewrite of another post of mine, this time with pictures of what version of the egos I see when writing these characters

First up, Sean “Jack” McLoughlin a.k.a Jackieboy-Man. Still isn’t so sure about the whole "saving the world” thing but he’s Doing His Best. His hair turns green when he’s in “Hero Mode.”

Next, Chase Brody, Jack’s childhood friend, college roommate, and general brother in every way except blood. His struggles with his home life and Jack’s constant disappearances have put a strain on their relationship, but Chase would throw hands for his bro any day. This is the Chase I see, except he has brown hair.

Dr. Henrik Von Schneeplestein is a close friend of both Chase and Jack, having met them both in college (They were in their undergrad, he was just starting his doctorate.) It is his friendship with Henrik that gave Jack his powers in the first place and the two of them struggle to keep it a secret from Chase.

Known only by his Stage Name, Marvin the Magnificent is one of Jack’s first real adversaries. Although he’s not a bad person by nature, he tends to go about achieving his goals the not-so-nice way. I still imagine his hair being bright green and usually in a ponytail.

The proprietor of Jolly Jaunts Theatre, Mr. Jameson “J.J” Jackson is a man of little words but a big heart. Probably Marvin’s only real friend, he runs many shows with the magician as the main act.

COUNTRY OF HOTELS - Review

DISTRIBUTOR: Terror Films

SYNOPSIS: Should you end up in room 508 in this mysterious, nameless and fetid hotel, you will find yourself in an alternate reality, akin to the “Twilight Zone,” with an unseen threat lurking behind the walls and in the air ducts. COUNTRY OF HOTELS presents five tales of lost souls who enter room 508 and are confronted by the darkness in their lives.

REVIEW: COUNTRY OF HOTELS is an entry into the subgenre of sinister hotels/rooms such as the Cohen Brothers’ “Barton Fink,” David Lynch’s “The Hotel Room,” or the grand-daddy of them all “The Shinning” (pick your adaptation).

Having said that, COUNTRY OF HOTELS establishes an atmosphere and a tension that it sustains throughout. They achieve it through a compilation of performances, production values and camera work. The wallpaper in room 508 appears to be a homage to the carpet design from the Overlook Hotel in Kubrick’s “The Shining.” There are a lot of dark tones and hues that add to the oppressive feel of the film. Given the tight spaces, the edits are sharp with an organic feel to the movement. Christos Fanaras’s score was okay was okay, but the film’s sound design adds more to the overall atmosphere to the film. For all the room’s production design and art direction, the rest of the locations are lacking and feel makeshift, especially the check-in/front desk area.

The stories tend to be superficial in only addressing the particulars of the situation the viewer is presented with. The characters at the center of each tale do not present as a full person, never feeling there is a chance for redemption. Much like a classic EC Comic tale, such as “Tales From the Crypt” or “Haunt of Fear,” these characters wear their damnation on their sleeves. The TV in the room serves as a source of torment, sometimes feeling a bit more unrealistic than surreal. I enjoyed the adult themes. Still, the writing does not offer any satisfying conclusions or any speculation about the hotel or its staff to sustain the viewer’s curiosity past the credits.

The performances are interesting, frequently intense, but limited. There is no breathing room to allow the viewer to connect with the character and potentially feel for them. There is a lot of energy and a perspective of that character in that moment, which kept me at a distance, feeling like a spectator at a “peep show.”

Julio Maria Martino’s & David Hauptschein’s COUNTRY OF HOTELS is an interesting adult film about not nice people who find themselves in a surreal hotel room that challenges them. There are many good things about the film that make it worth a watch. I don’t feel the dark humor works and by the end I did not feel anything for these characters, even the hotel staff.

CAST: Siobhán Hewlett, Michael Laurence, Adam Leese, Matthew Leitch, Charles Pike, Sabrina Faroldi, Ben Shafik, Olegar Fedoro, and Mia Soteriou. CREW: Director - Julio Maria Martino; Screenplay - David Hauptschein; Producer - Saba Kia; Cinematographer - Stefano Slocovich; Score - Christos Fanaras; Editor - Peter Allinson; Production Designer - Mike McLoughlin; Costume Designer - Lauren Miller; Visual Effects Supervisor - Ross Macpherson OFFICIAL: N.A. FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com/CountryOfHotels TWITTER: N.A. TRAILER: https://youtu.be/MQFBf3vXcVY RELEASE DATE: On digital platforms May 26th, 2023

**Until we can all head back into the theaters our “COVID Reel Value” will be similar to how you rate a film on digital platforms - 👍 (Like), 👌 (It’s just okay), or 👎 (Dislike)

I’m not all wrong

Marvin’s got NPD, shit goes sideways, Henrik helps calm him down.

“What’s your problem?” Marvin asked Jackie, who was staring at the kitchen table silently. Marvin grabbed a soda and threw out the box, placing the last two on the refrigerator shelf, making a mental note to replace that once his check came in.

“I need to go to work….”

“And?” Jackie just pointed to the door. Marvin pressed his ear to the door, listening to the people outside talk and yell about something stupid. Ah…got it. Jackie had the intense fear of people, and an even more intense fear of looking like an idiot in front of them. Marvin couldn’t understand it well but he knew how it affect his brother. “You want me to chase them off?” It took a second but Jackie nodded. Marvin went out to the hall, green mist appearing from his fingertips and the yelling ceased. The offending group looked at him furious. “Go find something to do, some of us functional adults got work and shit.” The biggest one, their next-door neighbor tried to come at him but instead there was a choking noise as he clutched his throat.

“Marvin! You’ll kill him!” Jackie cried, grabbing his shoulder. The teen didn’t move, just staring the choking man down as more people rushed him. “Let him go, he’s learned now!” The neighbor was turning blue and began to pass out before Marvin finally relented. He never took his eyes off the man as the group retreated. “What the fuck was that?!” Jackie spun his twin around and shook him.

“I’m sick of them. They need to get their shit together,” Marvin said deadpan.

“By killing them?”

“It would’ve worked, right?”

“Where the fuck is your empathy?” Jackie shouted. That irritated Marvin a little bit.

“Look, I helped you. Don’t you have work in a bit?” Marvin crossed his arms, staring his twin down. Jackie was going to say more, then remembered that he did.

“Fine. But we’ll finish this later if mom and dad aren’t back.” With that, Jackie left. Marvin watched as his brother left, leaving him the only one home. He clenched his fists. He was helping them. People are beneath them, people are annoying. Why did the others care so much? Why couldn’t he care enough?

He paced through the halls, shaking slightly. He pulled his hoodie up, retreating to the safety and comforting darkness of it. Where did his empathy go? He cursed himself, he cursed his parents. If they served any purpose, it was to remind Marvin that he was, in fact, the superior McLoughlin. At least he didn’t wear his brothers down to nothing, putting all this pressure on the oldest three, but ignoring the youngest two. Jackie was annoying, and Henrik was stuck up. Chase was a crybaby, and Jack…what did Jack do? Oh yeah, make himself look like a fool. Marvin was the magician, his powers could protect and help, hurt and save. What could the others do? Annoy the fuck out of him. But he still cared for them. He wasn’t a bad person, he just…lacked empathy. And found people beneath him. And had these grand ideas of being better than he was. Cause he was nothing. He was what, an argumentative, rebellious menace. Was this acting out as a result for being ignored for years, or did he really see himself of highly and everyone else so low.

He ended up back at his room before collapsing, pressing himself up against the corner of his closet. That was always the safe place. The pressure was too much. His parents were too much, he couldn’t handle this anymore. They didn’t even care for him before his powers, he had to take care of the Chase and Jack far too early. But then, in a breakdown from all the stress, they showed and suddenly he was showered with attention and affection. But also, there was some level of fear. He wanted help, he could take care of himself. Could he? He looked around his room, dents in the walls where things were thrown at them rather than a person.

He couldn’t blame anyone; he didn’t know what was wrong with him. Marvin hit the side of his head with his fist repeatedly, curling up tighter. What did Henrik teach him to ground? He felt the inside of the hoodie, feeling the fabric, smelling the familiar scent of vanilla and lavender. It was a nice red color, one of his favorite colors. Hoodies were always a good, safe thing. Warm colors always felt nice, as opposed to something like pastel colors being cold. It was a nice place to retreat if it was too much. Marvin tried to focus on that, ignoring the roaring his head, like a horrible storm. Everything screaming at him that he was useless. That he deserved to die, to relapse. That everyone hated him. Why wasn’t anyone listening? He had asked for help before and always got shut down. Even been yelled about for asking. One time a doctor asked, and he was screamed at for the whole half an hour ride home. Why was he ignored? What did he do to deserve this?

An hour later, his door opened quietly.

“Marvin?” Henrik asked softly, looking around before finally finding him in the closet. He must have just gotten off work, not even bothering to change out of his scrubs. “What happened?” Henrik crouched in front of his cowering brother, tears streaking down his face. He handed him a bag with some food in it and sat next to Marvin.

“Hen, what’s wrong with me?”

“Nothing is wrong with you. Why do you ask?”

“I almost killed someone. And I’m just now feeling bad about it, but it’s more because Jackie yelled at me. That’s not normal.”

“It’s not. But you’re not broken. And you’re not a bad person. Why did you do it?”

“Because they were fighting and scaring Jackie. He couldn’t leave to go to work.”

“So, you did it to help someone?”

“I-I guess. But still…”

“Marvin, you’re a lot of things. Rebellious, loud, food stealer, but you’re not a bad person. Even with the empathy problems, you’re still a good person. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. I mean, I have the same problems, but do you think I’m a bad person?”

“N-no. Of course not.” That was true. Henrik had even worse problems, for a while they didn’t think he would get into medical school because of it. But he did, which only served to show the younger ones that they could as well.

“Our normal is different than their normal. And, from what I’ve learned, it’s not our fault we’re like this. The only thing we’re responsible for is out actions.”

“What does that mean?”

“It means mom and dad played a bigger role than they’d care to admit. But that doesn’t matter now. What matters is how you act with this. And you’ve been doing so well.” Henrik pulled his little brother close in a hug. “You’re not wrong, you’re not broken. It’s going to work out, I promise.”

Written by Tom McLoughlin Directed by Tom McLoughlin

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Season 3 opens with the recap of what Uncle Lewis did and Micki and Ryan's attempts to return the items before the traditional opening. We are then at a religious shrine in a city in France. It is night and all is quiet. A taxi brings Jack to the local hotel as the church bells ring. Jack sees lots of religious items about. He checks in, the man says Jack is early for the Feast of Marie-Mere but Jack says he hopes to talk with a Sister Adele. Jack is doing research.

Later, Jack is asleep when, at 3:33 am, the church bells peal, awakening him and much of the town. A nun is seen praying and we hear a man reciting from a book about three who will herald "His" return. We see another nun thrashing about in her bed. The nun wakes, seemingly possessed, tearing the cross off her neck. The man's chants come through the voice of the possessed nun as she enters the room of the praying nun, who is Sister Adele. Other nuns rush to help as the woman attempts to strangle Adele. The priest comes, praying, as the other nun slides up the wall. The man reading the book says the first prophecy has come to pass. Calm settles and the once possessed nun dies. The man, somewhere, closes his book.

At Curious Goods, Micki returns home with groceries and goes upstairs. The chime rings on the door, but she sees no one when she comes back down. Suddenly, she is startled by one of their antique masks. It is Johnny, playing a prank. She doesn't give him a hard time. Johnny is looking for a new apartment. He asks about Ryan and Jack, and Micki tells him Jack is visiting Sister Adele, who apparently had a vision ten years ago. She then says Ryan is depressed and when Johnny offers to cheer him up, Micki says he is at the cemetery, it is the anniversary of Ryan's brother's death.

Ryan, at the cemetery, is remembering his brother's death and we see it all via flashback, including their mom rushing outside. Current Ryan is interrupted from his memory by the voice of a woman, who turns out to be his long-missing mother, who left after that accident. She tries to apologize for blaming him, that it was no one's fault. Seems she's been having bad dreams about losing Ryan, too. So they leave to go talk.

Back at Marie-Mere, Jack goes to try and visit Sister Adele. He is great by Father Decroux, but is told she is not going to see any guests. Jack tries to persuade him, to no avail. He asks the bells last night and is told it was a malfunction being remedied, then shown the door. Outside, an old woman approaches and tells him to warn others that Satan wants Sister Adele and that three other nuns have died trying to kill her. Decroux opens the door and brings her inside.

That night, Jack watches from a coffee shop and sees the Father Decroux walk Adele away with a suitcase, and follows them to another building. Jack looks around and finds a dark doorway to watch.

Inside, Father Decroux is doing a prayer to keep Adele safe, but she says it is all no use. He says they can't give up, but she says she hasn't, she just has faith. Outside, the bells again peal wildly at 3:33 am. The man is reading from a book, about beasts and suddenly animals all over are barking and running. A dog is possessed, running towards where Adele is. The man keeps chanting, as Decroux and Adele pray. The dog breaks through a window and is attacking Decroux to try and get to Adele. Jack enters, grabs a fireplace poker and kills the dog. The mysterious man talks through the dog as they watch. He says the second prophecy has come to pass and closes his book.

Next morning, we see a car packed and leaving the town, and some scraggly hitchhikers arrive. Decroux is holding mass, as the choir sings. Jack is talking to Adele, wanting inforrmation. She says they are in God's hands. Jack says the dog said "Nema", which is "Amen" backwards and fears demonic possession. The woman says a man is reading from a book. She tells Jack about the time the Holy Mother visited her, and blessed the waters. Seems she also warned of this day and a visit from another. Jack presses, and she says it is Asteroth, one of the Fallen Angels, and he has the Book of Lucifer. Seems there are six prophecies and if he fulfills them all, Satan will ascend unto the Earth. Seems he chose this most holy place because if he can corrupt it, then any place on the planet is fair game.

At the store, Micki is packing after a call from Jack. He needs his research on Asteroth and the book. Ryan is torn about leaving now, with his mother finally back. Micki reminds him Jack must need them. Ryan says she doesn't feel like his mother any more.

At the hospital, Adele continues to see the mentally disturbed patients that have been her calling. Jack is worried, but Decroux says she insists. He also called the police, but they have a hard time accepting religious stories. They think the nuns died of natural causes, but are investigating because of how important Sister Adele is.

Jack tries to talk to the townspeople, who are packing and leaving, but no one will stop to chat. A blind man cackles and says "Lucifer is coming." Jack asks how he knows, and he says they took his eyes so he'd have eternal sight. Then laughs manically.

At the airport, Ryan's mom has brought them and Micki goes to get their tickets so they can talk. They see a young girl in a wheelchair being sung to by other children. Her father thanks the church and the Father for raising the money to send them to Marie-Mere to hopefully get the girl, Christine, cured. Ryan's mom hopes the girl can be helped, and that Ryan comes back safely, too. Micki and Ryan say good-bye.

Christine talks to them in line and when she shakes Ryan's hand she has a vision and tells Ryan not to go. Her father calms her, but she tells Ryan not to go. Micki and Ryan walk to board the plane.

That night, Adele is trying to tell Decroux and Jack that locking her up is pointless. Jack hopes to break the chain of prophecies. They bring her to a room under the church altar above. She tells them she has always had faith. Jack tells her he hopes to remove the tools evil uses, as in the Book of Lucifer. She hopes God watches Jack. Decroux tells her to lock the door.

Asteroth opens the Book and starts on the next prophecy. Jack is doing his own research, again at 3:33 am. Lighting strikes and the bells chime again. Adele prays. The next prophecy says the mental patients will lose all the progress they made. Soon, the hospital is overrun with rampaging patients, attacking nuns and orderlies. They grab a nun and stab her with syringes. People run into the streets, Jack included. The patients toss an orderly out a window, then call for Lucifer. Decroux is dismayed. Jack finds and enters the building Asteroth is in and is attacked by him. Asteroth knows what Jack is up to. He shows Jack of vision of all the terrible thing to come, then throws Jack over a railing. Jack hits the ground, seemingly dead.

We cut to a body under a bloody sheet. Micki and Ryan arrive and ask about Jack and are sent to a room where Jack lies in a bed, tubes helping him breathe. Sister Adele is there. They are shocked, and she says this is what awaits them all. That Asteroth is trying to weaken their faith to help Lucifer ascend.

A bus arrives with travelers to try and get close to the healing waters. Father Decroux is conducting healing prayers at the stream. Christine is carried by her father. Asteroth walks by carrying the Book of Lucifer. Decroux tries to cure a woman who keeps coughing. Christine is sure a miracle is about to happen.

Ryan and Micki leave the hospital, unsure what to do. Micki says they should check the files Jack had them bring.

Asteroth opens his book near the stream and starts the next prophecy, to turn the healing powers of the waters against the believers. He causes the waters to stop flowing and the sky darkens. A wind picks up. Christine tells Decroux to keep his faith. He tries, and puts his hand in the water, but it boils and burns his hand. Asteroth laughs as the village panics. Asteroth shows himself to the crowd. Ryan and Micki arrive and notice the book. Asteroth says one of them will be Lucifer's disciple and points directly at Ryan, then flees. The cousins rush after him, and split up.

In an alley, Asteroth leaves the book for Ryan to find. As Ryan approaches it and picks it up, he is attacked and knocked out by Asteroth. Micki hear this but when she arrives, she doesn't see them. Asteroth opens the book and starts his next prophecy, carving 666 into Ryan's skin and turning him into Lucifer's disciple.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My thoughts:

This is written and directed by Tom McLoughlin, who was the man behind Friday the 13th: Part VI - Jason Lives!, one of my favorite in the film series. He does a great job here, too.

The opening is nice, very picturesque in the quaint town of Marie-Mere. And quite shocking with the possessed nun and mysterious man.

Johnny scaring Micki with the mask is an obvious homage to her first meeting with Ryan in the first episode. A little hint of what's about to occur.

Ryan running into his mother was unexpected. All of this is set up for the twist at the end of this feature length season opener, but you have to remember, this was pre-internet. We had no clue what was going on behind the scenes ahead of time. So this was all watched blindly with no way to pick up clues.

The escalating prophies are scary stuff, out of Exorcist type territory. Watching now, the episode seems quite well done and theatrical in scope and style.

Asteroth is, in the end, a one and done villain, but he could have been a big bad, had the show gone on longer. Fritz Weaver was quite a good casting choice!

Adele seems legit good and sweet.

Jack's fall scared the heck out of me the first time, he looked dead!

And Ryan falling and being at Asteroth's mercy seemed like something he'd get over by the end of the episode. But now it all seems like a step to a direction he cannot turn back from.

I remember the first time I watched this episode. I had graduated high school around the same time as the season two finale. Was working nights now, and was harder for me to be there each late Saturday night. I recorded this and watched it a few days - maybe weeks? - after it had aired. Like I said, no pre-information. It was, to me, just the season three opener. Little did I know. More on that first viewing after next week's part two.

Next week: The Prophecies - Part 2
