Watching X-Men 97 it seems Nightcrawler is a Romy shipper whereas Morph is a Rogneto shippers. (Also, can't forget that moment in Age of Apocalypse where Morph surprised hugged Rogue and Magneto by saying he loves the mushy stuff.)

Ha! It seems it indeed. Makes me think in the comics, even with his spiritual beliefs, his greatest is in love and communion of soul. I love imagining him being a duitiful brother, ribbing his inlaw, and just being happy that his sibling has love in her life. :) Morph makes nice with Rogue and Pietro in Astonishing X-Men vol 1, Issue 1

Later, he used her youngest son to rally her when she flagging in a fight with Apocalypse's son.

That was such a great series. Thanks for helping me relive it for a moment! :D <3 Well met, traveler! Stop by anytime!

NEW X-MEN EPISODE 5

AFTER A HUGE HIATUS, THE NEW X-MEN ARE BACK!!!!

EPISODE 5- X-POSED

WE OPEN UP IN CLARICE AND LAURIE’S ROOM AS SOFIA AND CLARICE RELAX IN BED. CLARICE TELLS SOFIA THAT IT’S ONLY FOR TWO DAYS, AND SOFIA SAYS THAT SHE’S JUST CONCERNED. SHE WANTS CLARICE IN HER CORNER WHEN SHE DECIDES TO FIND OUT WHAT KEVIN’S PLANNING. SHE KNOWS EMMA FROST IS GIVING KEVIN SPECIAL TREATMENT LIKE MONET AND ALANI AND SHE’S BETTING IT WILL END IN DISASTER.

CLARICE: SOFIA, HONEY, ULTRACON IS ONLY ONCE A YEAR, AND MORPH AND TJ HAVE BEEN THERE BEFORE. IT’LL JUST BE TWO DAYS WITH THEM AND CESSILY AND WHEN I GET BACK, WE’LL TALK TO KEVIN, OR HAVE SEX, OR BINGE-WATCH AS MANY EPISODES OF TOTAL DRAMA UNTIL OUR EYEBALLS FALL OUT. BUT I’VE NEVER BEEN TO A CONVENTION BEFORE AND…

LAURIE: I’M LITERALLY RIGHT HERE.

THE GIRLS LOOK OVER AT LAURIE AS SHE WALKS INTO THE ROOM. SOFIA SMILES AT LAURIE AND WISHES HER GOOD LUCK ON HER DATE WITH JOSH. LAURIE SMILES BACK, SAYING THAT JOSH HAS BEEN A BIT FLAKY RIGHT NOW, BUT HE’S SO NICE TO HER. CLARICE GETS OUT OF BED AND TELLS LAURIE THAT SHE’LL BE BACK IN TWO DAYS. LAURIE NODS AND GIVES THE TWO GIRLS SOME PRIVACY WHILE SOFIA SAYS THAT YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH TOTAL DRAMA. SHE CHECKS HER PHONE BRIEFLY AS SHE WALKS DOWN THE HALLWAY AND DELETES A FEW TEXTS FROM KEVIN.

CUE INTRO AND CREDITS

THE CAMERA CUTS TO JOSH EXITING THE BATHROOM. HIS PHONE PINGS AND HE SEES A TEXT FROM AN UNKNOWN CONTACT SAYING ‘TWENTY-FOUR HOURS LEFT. MAKE YOUR DECISION. EITHER YOU DUMP LAURIE OR I TELL EVERYONE WHAT YOU DID.’ JOSH FROWNS AND FIRES BACK A ‘GO FUCK YOURSELF, FORD.’ BEFORE JOINING HIS SQUAD ON THE WAY TO THE DANGER ROOM.

MEANWHILE, CLARICE AND CESSILY ADMIRE THEMSELVES IN CESSILY AND SOFIA’S BATHROOM. CLARICE’S HAIR HAS BEEN CUT SHORT AND SLIGHTLY WAVY AS SHE DRESSES IN A BLACK LATEX SUIT THAT LEAVES HER THIGHS EXPOSED. SHE ALSO HAS BLUE TATTOOS ON HER FACE AND KNEE-HIGH BOOTS. MEANWHILE, CESSILY IS DRESSED AS CRAZY JANE, FROM DOOM PATROL, WHICH SHE SAYS IS HER NEW FAVORITE SHOW. SHE THEN SAYS THAT CLARICE LOOKS GOOD WITH SHORT HAIR, WHICH CLARICE SMILES AT.

CESSILY: I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE WE’RE GOING TO ULTRACON! IT WAS SO NICE OF MORPH AND TJ TO LET US COME WITH THEM.

AS IF ON CUE, TJ AND MORPH ENTER. TJ IS DECKED IN A HARLEY QUINN COSTUME WHILE MORPH HAS A CURVACEOUS FEMININE FIGURE, BIG RED LIPS, EQUALLY BIG BREASTS, LONG BLONDE HAIR, AND A SEXY DRESS. CLARICE FROWNS AND ASKS MORPH IF HE’S AUDITIONING FOR RUPAUL’S DRAG RACE, WHILE HE SAYS THAT HE’S DRESSED AS LORD FANNY, FROM GRANT MORRISON’S AWARD-WINNING SERIES THE INVISIBLES.

MORPH: WHO ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO BE? A SCI-FI HOOKER?

CLARICE: DUH! I’M HALFPIPE, FROM THE GODKILLER SERIES. DO YOU GUYS REALLY NOT REMEMBER? TEEJ, WE WATCHED THE MOVIE A WEEK AGO AND READ ALL THE COMICS.

TJ: HEY, I KNOW WHO YOU ARE. YOU LOOK GOOD. YOU TOO, CRAZY CESSILY.

CESSILY: AW, THANKS.

WITH THAT, TALIA ASKS IF THEY’RE ALL PREPPED AND READY, AND THEY NOD. SHE THEN ASKS CLARICE IF SHE REMEMBERED TO BOOK A ROOM AND CLARICE REALIZES THAT SHE FORGOT TO BOOK ONE WITH TWO BEDS. TJ SIGHS AND SAYS THAT SHE AND MORPH WILL SLEEP ON THE FLOOR. MORPH GROANS, DISAPPOINTED.

CLARICE: OKAY, BUT WHEN WE GET TO THE HOTEL, WE’RE WATCHING GODKILLER SO THAT YOU GUYS WILL REMEMBER WHO I AM. NOW C’MON!

MEANWHILE, XUAN WATCHES FROM THE CONTROL ROOM AS HER SQUAD BATTLES PURIFIERS IN THE DANGER ROOM. MEGAN IS CURRENTLY IN THE AIR WHILE SOORAYA, BRIAN AND LAURIE ARE RUNNING DEFENSE. ROXY AND VIC ARE RUNNING OFFENSE WHILE JOSH IS ON THE SIDELINES. AND THEY’RE NOT DOING WELL. ROXY GROANS AS SHE FIRES CRYSTAL JAVELINS AT A PURIFIER AND RECEIVES A HIT TO THE FACE. SOORAYA DODGES AN ATTACK FROM A PURIFIER AS VIC ANNOUNCES THAT THEY’RE GETTING THEIR BUTTS WHOOPED.

LAURIE: I KNOW! WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING!

MEGAN SQUEAKS AS SHE DODGES BULLETS AND FLUTTERS HER WINGS, SHAKING SOME DUST LOOSE. LAURIE NOTICES THAT AND CALLS OUT TO ROXY THAT THEY NEED TO DO OPERATION DUST STORM. ROXY NODS AND THEN TELLS SOORAYA THAT SHE’S UP. THE BURKA-CLAD GIRL GOES INTO SAND FORM AND WRAPS AROUND THE PURIFIERS IN A SAND TORNADO. MEGAN GRINS AND THEN RELEASES SOME DUST THAT MIXES WITH THE TORNADO AND CAUSES THE PURIFIERS TO HALLUCINATE.

ROXY: ANOLE! GET IN THERE! TAG, WALLFLOWER, GET MORE PURIFIERS INTO THAT TORNADO!

VIC: AYE-AYE, CAP’N!

WITH THAT, VIC RUSHES INTO THE TORNADO WITH ROXY AND THEY ATTACK THE BLINDED AND HALLUCINATING OPPONENTS. BRIAN THEN TAGS HIMSELF WHILE LAURIE RELEASES SOME FEAR PHEROMONES AND THEY’RE ABLE TO HERD THE REMAINING PURIFIERS INTO THE SANDSTORM. FINALLY, THE STORM CLEARS AND ROXY AND VIC HIGH-FIVE.

XUAN: WAY TO GO, GUYS! NICE WORK ON THE SANDSTORM!

JOSH: YUP! AND IT WAS MY GIRLFRIEND WHO CAME UP WITH THE IDEA!

LAURIE: THANKS, JOSH!

ROXY GRINS AND SAYS THAT THE TWO OF THEM ARE PRETTY TIGHT. LAURIE NODS AND EMBRACES JOSH AS HE GIVES HER A LIGHT SMILE.

MEANWHILE, CESSILY, CLARICE, TJ, AND MORPH ARE DRIVING IN DANI’S RV. TJ IS IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT WHILE CLARICE IS SMOKING WEED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. CESSILY TELLS TJ TO TAKE A LEFT WHILE LOOKING AT A MAP, WHICH SHE EVENTUALLY GETS FRUSTRATED WITH. SHE THEN CRUMPLES THE MAP UP AND THROWS IT OUT THE WINDOW WHILE MORPH LAUGHS. ‘SAY SO’ BY DOJA CAT PLAYS IN THE BACKGROUND.

TJ: TOLD YOU TO JUST USE SIRI. ANYWAY, WHAT’S THE WORD ON THE WHACKY WEED ON THIS SUNNY SUNDAY MORNING, SWEET CLARICE?

MORPH *SHAPESHIFTING INTO A PALE-SKINNED JAMAICAN MAN*: DE MIDWEST SAY SWEET CLARICE, SHE GOT SOME RASTA SHIT, OH MY SWEET CLARICE, PASS YA BRUDDAS A HIT!

CLARICE SMOKES SOME MORE AND SAYS THAT THIS SHIT’S THE REAL DEAL, BEFORE WAVING HER CIGARETTE IN TJ’S FACE. TJ LAUGHS AND TELLS CLARICE THAT SHE NEEDS TO FOCUS ON THE ROAD WHILE CESSILY AND MORPH LAUGH.

CESSILY: TELL THE JOKE AGAIN, CLARICE. I DON’T GET IT. WHO HAD THE CAKE?

CLARICE: CHRIST, BITCH, PAY ATTENTION THIS TIME! OKAY, THERE WAS A BOY NAMED EARL WHO WALKED IN ON HIS GRANDPARENTS HAVING SEX. LIKE YOU DID WITH ME AND SOFIA THAT ONE TIME…

CESSILY: I FUCKIN’ SAID I WAS SORRY!

CLARICE: ANYWAY, EARL SAYS “GRANDMA! WHAT’CHA DOING?!” AND GRANDMA SAYS “WE’RE JUST BAKIN’ A CAKE.” SO A FEW DAYS LATER, EARL SAYS “GRANDMA, WAS YOU AND GRANDPA BAKING A CAKE LAST NIGHT?” AND GRANDMA SAYS “AS A MATTER OF FACT, WE WAS. HOW’D YOU KNOW?” AND EARL SAYS “CUZ I JUST LICKED SOME FROSTING OFF THE COUCH.” HAHA!

CESSILY: I STILL DON’T GET IT. WHAT FROSTING? WHERE’D IT COME FROM?

CLARICE: THE OLD MAN’S DICK! THE OLD BASTARD’S JIZZ WAS THE FROSTING! JESUS CHRIST CESS!

MORPH AND TJ LAUGH AS CESSILY ASKS IF THEY’RE STOKED FOR ULTRACON. CLARICE NODS AND SAYS THAT IT’S TOO BAD SOFIA DIDN’T WANT TO COME. WHEN MORPH ASKS WHY, CLARICE SAYS THAT SHE’S BEEN REALLY HUNG UP ON TRYING TO FIND OUT WHAT’S UP WITH KEVIN FORD, AND SHE WONDERS WHAT SOFIA THINKS HE’S UP TO.

LATER, KEVIN WALKS OUT OF HIS ROOM AND WALKS OVER TO A DOOR THAT HAS THE WORDS ‘THE XAVIER’S GAZETTE’ ON IT. HE KNOCKS ON THE DOOR BEFORE OPENING IT, REVEALING A BLONDE BOY WITH EYES ALL OVER HIS BODY WHO GREETS HIM. KEVIN GIVES TREVOR HAWKINS A SMILE AND ASKS HIM HOW BUSINESS IS GOING AND TREVOR TELLS HIM THAT HE’S HAVING A BIT OF WRITER’S BLOCK. SO FAR, IN HIS LATEST ARTICLE, HIS TOP STORIES ARE MELODY GUTHRIE’S BREAKUP WITH ANDY STRUCKER AND ZZ PHALEN’S NEW CONCERT. HE’S RUNNING OUT OF INSPIRATION AND SOURCES.

KEVIN: ACTUALLY, TREVOR, I THINK I MIGHT BE OF ASSISTANCE. I GOT A STORY FOR YOU, AND IT’S A DOOZY…

KEVIN WALKS INTO THE ROOM AND CLOSES THE DOOR BEHIND HIM.

THE NEXT DAY, WE CUT OVER TO A MOTEL ROOM WHERE CLARICE AND CESSILY ARE SLEEPING IN THE BED WHILE TJ IS ASLEEP IN THE SLEEPING BAG TO THE LEFT. THE SLEEPING BAG ON THE RIGHT IS EMPTY, AND MORPH CAN BE HEARD IN THE BATHROOM SINGING IN HIS JAMAICAN ACCENT WHILE GRUNTING.

MORPH: *IN HIS JAMAICAN ACCENT* DE GOOD LAWD CAME TO ME ONE DAY, HE TOLD ME TO LIVE A RIGHTEOUS WAY, SO I DON’ CARE WHAT DE WHITE MAN SAY, SANTA CLAUS IS *GRUNTS* A BLACK MAN.

EVENTUALLY, CESSILY SHOOTS UP IN BED AND ANNOUNCES THAT IT’S TIME FOR THE CON. SHE EXCITEDLY SHAKES CLARICE, WHO GROANS AND THREATENS TO FART ON HER. CESSILY THEN PULLS OFF THE BLANKET AND STARTS LIGHTLY KICKING TJ.

CESSILY: CONCONCONCONCON TALIA! WE’RE LATE!!!

WITH THAT, SHE JUMPS OUT OF BED AND DASHES TO THE BATHROOM, SAYING THAT THEY BETTER BE CHANGED WHEN SHE COMES BACK, BEFORE SCREAMING AT MORPH WHEN SHE OPENS THE BATHROOM DOOR. SHE THEN TELLS HIM NOT TO DO ‘THAT’ IN THE BATHROOM AND CLARICE AND TJ GIGGLE.

MEANWHILE, IN THE LOUNGE, SOFIA, LAURA, JOSH, AND JULIAN ARE TALKING WHEN SOFIA’S PHONE VIBRATES AND ‘WAP’ STARTS PLAYING. SHE INFORMS THEM THAT SHE GOT A NEW NOTIFICATION FOR THE XAVIER’S GAZETTE AND PULLS OUT HER PHONE TO READ THE HEADLINE. SUDDENLY, HER FACE GOES WHITE WITH SHOCK AND SHE LOOKS AT JOSH, SAYING THAT HE NEEDS TO SEE THIS. SHE THEN SHOWS HIM HER PHONE.

HEADLINE: FORBIDDEN LOVE TRIANGLE AT XAVIER’S! JOSH FOLEY ACCUSED OF BEING A TWO-TIMER! TREVOR HAWKINS HERE WITH A SHOCKING NEW SCOOP FROM AN ANONYMOUS SOURCE! JOSH FOLEY, AKA ELIXIR, THE SCHOOL’S RESIDENT GOLDEN BOY, IS RUMORED TO HAVE BEEN IN A SUMMER ROMANCE WITH RAHNE SINCLAIR; FORMER BIO T.A. AND XAVIER’S ALUM. ACCORDING TO MY ANONYMOUS SOURCE, JOSH CONTINUED A LONG-DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP WITH SINCLAIR WHEN SHE LEFT THE SCHOOL, DESPITE STARTING A ROMANCE WITH HIS TEAMMATE, LAURIE COLLINS. ARE THESE RUMORS TRUE? STAY TUNED TO FIND OUT, AND REMEMBER, THE EYES HAVE IT!

JOSH STARES AT THE PHONE, BUG-EYED AND LAURA ELBOWS JULIAN BEFORE HE CAN MAKE A LEWD REMARK. SOFIA AND JOSH QUICKLY STAND UP AND SOFIA ASKS JOSH IF THIS IS TRUE, WHICH HE REFUSES. HE THEN DECIDES TO TRY AND FIND LAURIE BEFORE SHE CAN FIND OUT, BUT HE THEN SEES LAURIE STARING AT HER PHONE BEFORE LOOKING AT JOSH AND RUNNING AWAY IN TEARS. JOSH IMMEDIATELY RUNS AFTER HER, AS SOFIA LOOKS ON, WONDERING HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED.

MEANWHILE, CESSILY, CLARICE, MORPH, AND TJ ARRIVE AT ULTRACON IN THEIR COSTUMES. THEY WALK AROUND, EXCITED, AS THEY WATCH COSPLAYERS MOVE THROUGHOUT THE CON. CLARICE SNAPS A PICTURE, EXCITED, AS TJ SAYS THAT IT NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE. SUDDENLY, CESSILY IS CALLED OVER BY FIVE TEENS WHO ARE DRESSED AS CHARACTERS FROM DOOM PATROL, AND SHE COMPLIMENTS THEIR COSTUMES.

ROBOTMAN COSPLAYER: THANKS! YOU LOOK COOL TOO!

MADAME ROUGE COSPLAYER: OUR JANE BAILED ON US AND WE NEED A TEAM PICTURE. YOU MIND STANDING IN FOR HER?

CESSILY: OF COURSE!

NEGATIVE MAN COSPLAYER: THANKS!

WITH THAT, CLARICE GETS HER PHONE OUT WHILE THE ELASTI-WOMAN COSPLAYER GIVES HER PHONE TO TJ TO TAKE THE PICTURE. CLARICE THEN TELLS THEM TO SAY ‘DOOMIES!’ BEFORE SHE AND TJ TAKE THE PICTURE, AND THE CYBORG COSPLAYER THANKS THEM. AS THEY WALK OFF, CESSILY SAYS THAT SHE THINKS THAT THE ELASTI-WOMAN WAS A MUTANT, AND SO WERE THE ROBOTMAN AND MADAME ROUGE COSPLAYERS. TJ SAYS THAT IT MAKES SENSE, SINCE HERE, MUTANTS FIT IN ALONGSIDE PEOPLE WHO USUALLY SEEM LIKE WEIRDOS. CLARICE SMILES AND TELLS THEM THAT IT’S TIME TO GET THEIR CON ON AND THEY ALL CHEER.

WE THEN BEGIN A MONTAGE AS THEY EXPLORE THE CON WHILE ‘BEST DAY OF MY LIFE’ BY AMERICAN AUTHORS PLAYS. DURING THAT, WE SEE TJ POSING FOR A SELFIE WITH SOMEONE DRESSED AS POISON IVY, MORPH LOOKS AT HIS PHONE FOR THE MAP, AND THE GROUP ENTERS THE SHOPPING AREA WITH EXCITEMENT. WE THEN SEE CLARICE BUYING A PRIDE T-SHIRT, MORPH BUYING A SAGA FUNKO POP, CESSILY GETTING HER COPY OF ZOMBIE TRAMP SIGNED BY AN UNSEEN ARTIST, AMONG OTHER THINGS.

MEANWHILE, JOSH FINDS LAURIE CRYING BY THE LAKE, AND HE TRIES TO ASSURE HER THAT IT’S NOT WHAT SHE THINKS. LAURIE TELLS HIM TO SHOVE IT, SAYING THAT SHE’S BEEN CRUSHING ON HIM FOR SO LONG AND SHE’S BEEN WORRIED THAT HE WOULDN’T HAVE LIKED HER WITHOUT HER POWERS, BUT WHEN SHE FINALLY ASKS HIM OUT, SHE FINDS OUT THAT HE’S BEEN CHEATING ON HER, AND SHE REFUSES TO BELIEVE ANYTHING ELSE HE SAYS.

JOSH: LAURIE, THAT ARTICLE WAS FAKED. RAHNE BROKE UP WITH ME BEFORE THE DANCE! HELL, IT WAS EVEN BEFORE JAY TRIED TO SET US UP! I LOVE YOU, LAURIE! I PROMISE!

LAURIE: GO AWAY, JOSH.

JOSH: LAURIE, PLEASE, YOU GOTTA BELIEVE ME!

LAURIE: I SAID… GO AWAY!

SUDDENLY, A YELLOW ESSENCE RISES FROM LAURIE’S BODY AND HER EYES GLOW YELLOW. JOSH LOOKS AT HER IN FEAR BEFORE RUNNING AWAY, LEAVING LAURIE ALL ALONE. EVENTUALLY, JOSH RUNS INTO THE GARDEN BEFORE COLLAPSING, OUT OF BREATH. SOFIA WALKS UP TO HIM AND ASKS HIM IF SHE TOOK IT WELL.

JOSH: SHE’S STILL ANGRY. SHE USED HER FEAR PHEROMONES ON ME. I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW SHE COULD DO THAT. UGH, I’M IN DEEP SHIT. SOFIA, WHAT AM I GONNA DO?

ROXY WALKS UP TO JOSH AND TELLS HIM THAT IT’S OKAY. SHE TRUSTS HIM AS A TEAMMATE AND A FRIEND AND WHEN JOSH ASKS WHAT THEY SHOULD DO NOW, SOFIA SAYS THAT THEY SHOULD HIDE BEFORE SOMEONE FINDS THEM. WITH THAT, THEY WALK AWAY, KEVIN WATCHING IN SECRET. SUDDENLY, A HAND GRABS KEVIN’S ARM AND HE TURNS AROUND TO SEE MONET AND ALANI GLARING AT HIM.

MONET: WHAT THE FUCK, FORD?

KEVIN: WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

MONET: I KNOW YOU LIED TO TREVOR. THAT WAS WAY OUT OF LINE.

ALANI: YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE DONE THAT, KEV. YOU HUMILIATED JOSH AND LAURIE IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE SCHOOL. THAT’S NOT WHAT WE DO.

KEVIN: RIGHT. INSTEAD, WE TRY TO MAKE PEOPLE JEALOUS AT DANCES AND TRY TO FUCK SOMEONE IN THE ASTRAL PLANE. YOU GUYS ARE SUCH HYPOCRITES! YOU’RE JUST AS GUILTY AS ME!

MONET: WE’VE OWNED UP TO OUR MISTAKES. WE KNOW WHAT WE DID WAS WRONG, AND YOU… YOU DON’T FEEL BAD, DO YOU?

KEVIN: OF COURSE NOT! I’VE KNOWN LAURIE LONGER THAN HIM! I’VE ALWAYS LOVED HER! HE DOESN’T DESERVE SOMEONE LIKE HER, BUT SHE’D NEVER GO FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME! SOMEONE WHO CAN’T ACT ON THEIR FEELINGS! SO WHAT IF I LIED? AS LONG AS I TAUGHT HIM A LESSON, I DON’T CARE! SHE BELONGS WITH ME! YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE ME!

ALANI: KEVIN, WE DO. WE CAN HELP YOU.

KEVIN: GO FUCK YOURSELVES IN THE FACE. I DON’T NEED YOUR HELP.

MONET: FORD, IF YOU WALK AWAY, YOU’RE OFF THE TEAM. I MEAN IT. YOUR TIME WITH THE HELLIONS WILL BE OVER. YOU’LL BE A PATHETIC LOSER AND A BULLY JUST LIKE YOU ALWAYS WERE.

KEVIN: CHOKE ON A SANDPAPER COCK, ST. CROIX. I DON’T NEED YOU OR ANYONE ELSE.

WITH THAT, KEVIN WALKS OFF AND ALANI TURNS TO A FURIOUS MONET, A WORRIED LOOK ON HER FACE. SHE ASKS MONET WHAT THEY SHOULD DO NOW, AND SHE TELLS ALANI THAT SHE HEARD HIM; HE’S ON HIS OWN.

MEANWHILE, JOSH, SOFIA, AND ROXY ENTER ROXY AND MEGAN’S ROOM. SOFIA LAYS DOWN ON MEGAN’S BED WHILE JOSH WRINGS HIS HANDS IN DESPAIR. ROXY ASSURES HIM THAT SHE KNOWS HE DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WRONG, BUT JOSH IS UPSET OVER THE FACT THAT LAURIE HATES HIM NOW. SOFIA TELLS HIM THAT IT’S OKAY. THEY BELIEVE HIM AND SOON, EVERYONE ELSE WILL TOO. BUT FIRST, THEY NEED TO KNOW WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED.

SUDDENLY, A POUNDING SOUND IS HEARD AND ROXY CURSES, SAYING THAT SHE THOUGHT SHE SAW SOMEONE FOLLOWING THEM. SHE GOES TO THE DOOR, BUT NO ONE IS THERE. SHE THEN TURNS AROUND AND SEES MEGAN KNOCKING AT THE WINDOWSILL, TELLING ROXY TO LET HER IN.

SOFIA: HOW LONG BEFORE SHE REALIZES IT’S NOT A DOOR?

ROXY: THIS WOULDN’T BE THE FIRST TIME.

MEGAN: *MUFFLED* LET ME IN! A CAT WITH A SUSPICIOUSLY HUMAN FACE IS LOOKING AT ME!

MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE CON, CESSILY IS BROWSING THROUGH SOME HALF-PRICE GRAPHIC NOVELS WHEN SHE BUMPS INTO A REDHEADED GIRL IN A PINK COSTUME WITH A SKIRT, BOOTS AND A MASK. THE GIRL APOLOGIZES AND INTRODUCES HERSELF AS PANDORA AND SHE COMPLIMENTS CESSILY’S COSTUME. CESSILY SMILES AND ASKS WHAT SHE’S DRESSED AS AND PANDORA TELLS HER THAT SHE’S DRESSED AS HER OWN ORIGINAL SUPERHERO, THE IMP. CESSILY COMPLIMENTS HER OUTFIT AND ASKS HER IF THIS IS HER FIRST CONVENTION.

PANDORA: YEAH. ME AND MY TWIN BROTHER LOVE COMICS BUT WE’VE HARDLY EVER GONE UNTIL NOW. RORY’S A BIT OF A SUPERHERO NUT, SO I CAME UP WITH MY COSTUME WHEN HE DECIDED TO GO ORIGINAL TOO.

CESSILY: YOU LOOK AWESOME. HOPE YOU HAVE FUN.

WITH THAT, CESSILY WALKS OFF, WITH PANDORA WATCHING HER WITH INTRIGUE. THE CLERK AT THE BOOTH, A REDHEAD NAMED SAMANTHA, ASKS PANDORA WHO SHE WAS TALKING TO, AND SHE TELLS HER THAT SHE’S SOMEONE THEY MIGHT CONSIDER CHECKING ON FROM TIME TO TIME.

MEANWHILE, JOSH SITS IN AN OFFICE CHAIR WHILE ROXY AND SOFIA SIT ON ROXY’S BED, OBSERVING. MEGAN IS SITTING ON HER BED, PAYING ATTENTION WHILE SNUGGLING WITH ONE OF HER STUFFED ANIMALS, MISTER DOGBEAR.

MEGAN: SO, YOU AND MISS SINCLAIR WERE SECRET LOVERS, INDULGING AND REVELING IN YOUR SECRET SIN.

JOSH: NO! WE HAD A NOTHING RESEMBLING SEX RULE. A NO-SEX RULE.

ROXY: WE GET IT. NOW, START FROM THE BEGINNING.

JOSH THEN PROCEEDS TO TELL THEM HOW HE HARDLY FIT IN WHEN HE ARRIVED AT XAVIER’S OVER THE SUMMER. BEFORE HE FOUND OUT HE WAS A MUTANT, HE WAS A PART OF A GROUP OF MUTANT HUNTERS CALLED THE REAVERS, WHICH GAVE HIM A LOT OF FLAK AMONG THE STUDENTS. BUT EVENTUALLY, HE FOUND A KINDRED SPIRIT IN RAHNE SINCLAIR, WHO WAS GOING THROUGH A LOT OF STUFF AT THAT TIME. THEY STARTED DATING IN SECRET EVEN THROUGH SHE SIGNED ON AS A TEACHER’S ASSISTANT, BUT SHE STARTED TO FEEL LIKE WHAT THEY WERE DOING WAS WRONG, SO SHE BROKE UP WITH HIM BEFORE LEAVING THE SCHOOL. JOSH WAS DEPRESSED FOR A WHILE UNTIL HE MET LAURIE AND HE REALIZED THAT SHE WAS THE ONE FOR HIM.

SOFIA: SO SHE DUMPED YOU BEFORE YOU MET LAURIE?

JOSH: YEAH. I… I DIDN’T WANT TO TELL HER WHAT HAPPENED BECAUSE I DIDN’T WANT HER TO FEEL LIKE A BOOBY PRIZE OR A REBOUND. I LOVE LAURIE. MORE THAN ANYTHING.

ROXY NODS, AND TELLS JOSH THAT IT WOULD HELP THEM OUT IF HE COULD TELL THEM IF HE KNOWS WHO SENT THE TIP TO THE GAZETTE. JOSH SAYS THAT HE CAN’T TELL THEM AND DESPITE THEIR PROTESTS, HE INSISTS THAT HE CAN’T. HE LOVES LAURIE, BUT HE REALLY CAN’T TELL THEM WHO SENT THE TIP.

SOFIA: MAYBE YOU CAN’T, BUT I KNOW WHO CAN. COME ON, ROXY!

AS SOFIA AND ROXY LEAVE THE ROOM, ROXY ASKS HER WHO SHE THINKS CAN HELP THEM. SOFIA SAYS THAT FIRST, THEY NEED SOME KIND OF LIE DETECTOR, AND THEN, THEY NEED TO DRESS IN SOME STEALTH CLOTHES. ROXY ASKS HER AGAIN WHO SHE HAS IN MIND, AND SOFIA TELLS HER THAT THERE’S ONLY ONE PERSON WHO HAS EYES ALL OVER THE SCHOOL. AND ALL OVER HIS BODY.

MEANWHILE, CLARICE IS ON A TERRACE OVERLOOKING THE CITY. TJ COMES IN FROM THE CONVENTION AND SAYS THAT SHE FOUND A BOOTH THAT SOLD DISCOUNTED MARIA LLOVET GRAPHIC NOVELS. SHE THEN GOES THROUGH WHICH ONES ARE FOR HER AND WHICH ONES ARE FOR CLARICE, CESSILY, AND SOFIA EVEN THOUGH SHE DIDN’T COME TO THE CON BEFORE NOTICING CLARICE’S FARAWAY LOOK.

TJ: PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS?

CLARICE: I WAS JUST WONDERING IF I’M DOING THE RIGHT THING. SOFIA HAS HER HANDS FULL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT’S GOING ON WITH KEVIN AND I JUST GET A HAIRCUT AND SOME FACIAL TATTOOS AND GO TO A CON. IS THAT WHAT GOOD GIRLFRIENDS DO? I KNOW I HAVE SOME APOCALYPSE DNA INSIDE ME, BUT DOES THAT MEAN I’M A BAD PERSON? AND IF I AM, I’M WORRIED THAT I’M GONNA HURT SOFIA. TEEJ, I’M WORRIED.

TJ: I’M SORRY, CLARICE. BUT BELIEVE ME, I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL. I BET YOU DIDN’T KNOW THAT I’M FROM ANOTHER REALITY, HUH? I’M THE DAUGHTER OF NIGHTCRAWLER AND SCARLET WITCH, WHICH MEANS THAT I’M ALSO THE GRANDDAUGHTER OF MYSTIQUE AND MAGNETO. SOMETIMES, I WONDER IF I’M REALLY LIKE MY GRANDPARENTS, BUT I REALIZE THAT MY MOM AND DAD HAVE PROVEN THEMSELVES TO BE BETTER THAN THEIR PARENTS AND SO HAVE I, BY PROXY. YOUR DAD WAS A GOOD MAN, SO THAT MEANS THAT THERE’S MORE NON-EVIL GENES IN YOU THAN THERE ARE EVIL ONES. YOU’RE A GOOD PERSON, CLARICE. I KNOW IT.

CLARICE CRACKS A SMILE AND THEN NOTICES MORPH FIXING HIS LIPSTICK WHILE CESSILY GETS A SWAG BAG FROM A BOOTH. SHE TELLS TJ THAT SHE HAS A POINT AND THAT SHE KNOWS SOFIA CAN TAKE CARE OF HERSELF, OTHERWISE, SHE WOULDN’T HAVE PERSUADED CLARICE TO GO. THE GIRLS SMILE AND WALK BACK INTO THE CON AS CLARICE SAYS THAT SOFIA HAS THINGS COVERED.

MEANWHILE, ROXY, DRESSED IN A BLACK CROP TOP AND LEGGINGS WAITS OUTSIDE THE LOUNGE WHERE SHE FINDS SOFIA IN A MIX OF GOTH AND BDSM GEAR. SHE IMMEDIATELY ASKS SOFIA IF THAT’S NECESSARY AND SHE SAYS THAT THEY’RE THE ONLY BLACK CLOTHES SHE HAS. ROXY CAN’T HELP BUT COMPLIMENT SOFIA’S SKIRT AND CORSET WHILE LAURA MAKES HER WAY OVER TO THEM, SAYING THAT SHE GOT THEIR TEXT. WITH THAT, THEY HEAD OVER TO TREVOR’S NEWSROOM.

TREVOR IS GLAD TO SEE THEM AND ASKS IF THEY HAVE ANY NEWS FOR HIM, BUT SOFIA ISN’T WILLING TO BE DISTRACTED BY GREETINGS AND TELLS TREVOR THAT SHE’S HERE TO TALK ABOUT HIS LATEST HEADLINE. BEFORE TREVOR CAN SING HIS OWN PRAISES, ROXY TELLS HIM THAT HE WAS CONNED.

TREVOR: NO WAY. YOU GUYS ARE PUNKING ME.

ROXY: NO, TREV. THAT STORY ABOUT JOSH AND LAURIE WAS FAKED. JOSH DID DATE RAHNE SINCLAIR, BUT IT WAS BEFORE HIM AND LAURIE STARTED DATING.

SOFIA: YOU REALIZE WHAT THAT STORY DID, RIGHT? JOSH FEELS TERRIBLE. HE’S HIDING IN ROXY’S ROOM TO AVOID QUESTIONS AND INSULTS AND LAURIE REFUSES TO COME OUT OF HER ROOM AT ALL. THIS COULD RUIN THE BOTH OF THEM.

TREVOR: I’M… I’M SORRY. I HAD NO IDEA.

LAURA: HE’S TELLING THE TRUTH.

TREVOR BURIES HIS HEAD IN HIS HANDS, CURSING HIMSELF FOR FALLING FOR FAKE RUMORS AND GOING AGAINST THE CODE OF THE REPORTER. SOFIA COMFORTS HIM AND SAYS THAT SHE FORGIVES HIM, AND SO WILL LAURIE AND JOSH, HOPEFULLY. BUT ALL HE HAS TO DO IS TELL THEM WHO GAVE HIM THE TIP.

TREVOR: I… WELL, THIS ALSO GOES AGAINST THE REPORTER CODE, BUT I WANNA MAKE THINGS RIGHT.

SOFIA: JUST TELL US WHO SENT THE TIP.

TREVOR: IT… IT WAS WITHER. IT WAS KEVIN FORD. HE TOLD ME THE…

LAURA: HE’S TELLING THE TRUTH.

ROXY: I FIGURED. WOW, SOFIA. WE REALLY DIDN’T NEED HER AFTER ALL.

SOFIA: NO TIME TO CHAT! I HEAR KEVIN IN THE QUAD! LET’S GO!

WITH THAT, THE DUO RUN OUT OF THE ROOM AND LAURA AND TREVOR LOOK AT EACH OTHER AWKWARDLY.

LATER, KEVIN CAN BE SEEN WALKING DOWN THE QUAD WHEN SOFIA AND ROXY APPEAR IN FRONT OF HIM. HE INNOCENTLY ASKS THEM WHAT THEY WANT, BUT ROXY YELLS AT HIM, SAYING THAT THEY KNOW HE MADE UP THE RUMOR THAT JOSH WAS CHEATING ON LAURIE. KEVIN SCOFFS BUT SOFIA TELLS HIM THAT TREVOR TOLD THEM THE TRUTH, AND THERE’S PROBABLY GOING TO BE AN ARTICLE THE NEXT DAY ON HOW HE TRICKED HIM, LAURIE, AND THE ENTIRE SCHOOL.

KEVIN: OKAY, SO I LIED! SO WHAT?! IT WAS WORTH IT TO RUIN JOSH’S LIFE! HE DOESN’T DESERVE LAURIE AND HE KNOWS IT! I KNEW HER LONGER! I PAID ATTENTION TO HER! SHE BELONGS WITH ME!

VOICE: KEVIN?

ALL OF A SUDDEN, LAURIE APPEARS WITH JOSH AND MEGAN. LAURIE LOOKS SHOCKED, ASKING KEVIN IF WHAT HE SAID WAS TRUE. KEVIN STARES AT HER AS ROXY TELLS HIM THAT HIS SECRET’S OUT. LAURIE’S EYES FILL WITH TEARS AS KEVIN TRIES TO REASON WITH HER.

LAURIE: HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO ME?! KEVIN, YOU WERE MY BEST FRIEND AND YOU… DID THIS?! WHY COULDN’T YOU HAVE BEEN HAPPY FOR ME?! WHY COULDN’T YOU HAVE JUST BEEN A GOOD FRIEND AND SUPPORTED ME INSTEAD OF TRYING TO BREAK US UP?! YOU’RE SO… SO SELFISH!

KEVIN: I’M SELFISH?! YOU’RE THE ONE WHO CHOSE A MEATHEAD INSTEAD OF ME!

LAURIE: I DON’T LIKE YOU LIKE THAT, KEVIN! YOU WERE ALWAYS A FRIEND TO ME! JUST A FRIEND! BUT NOT ANYMORE! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN! I… I HATE YOU!

FOR A WHILE, EVERYTHING IS SILENT WHILE ROXY WHISPERS TO SOFIA THAT THAT WAS COLD. KEVIN GLARES AT JOSH, LAURIE, AND SOFIA BEFORE REMOVING HIS LEFT GLOVE AND BEGINNING TO CHARGE AT JOSH.

KEVIN: YOU DID THIS… YOU TOOK HER FROM ME! YOU RUINED EVERYTHING!

LAURIE: KEVIN! NO!

LAURIE IMMEDIATELY DASHES IN BETWEEN THEM AND JUST AS KEVIN REACHES TOWARD JOSH, LAURIE INTERVENES AND KEVIN’S BARE HAND GRASPS HER WRIST INSTEAD. LAURIE SCREAMS AS THE FLESH ON HER HAND STARTS TO WITHER. SOFIA YELLS AT HIM TO STOP, BUT KEVIN’S EYES BLAZE WITH RAGE. HIS GRIP INTENSIFIES AS HE’S BLINDED BY HATRED. SOFIA IMMEDIATELY RUNS FORWARD AND SHOVES KEVIN, FORCING HIM TO LET GO OF LAURIE. HE SCREAMS IN RAGE AND TRIES TO HIT HER, BUT SHE TACKLES HIM TO THE GROUND.

SOFIA: KEVIN! STOP! OPEN YOUR EYES! YOU’RE HURTING ME! YOU’RE HURTING LAURIE! JUST STOP!

KEVIN’S EYES SUDDENLY GO BACK TO NORMAL AND SOFIA GETS OFF HIM AS HE LOOKS AT LAURIE IN DISMAY. LAURIE IS SOBBING, BUT SHE’S LOOKING AT KEVIN WITH CONCERN AND WORRY. JOSH RUNS TO LAURIE’S SIDE AS SOFIA STARES KEVIN DOWN. KEVIN IMMEDIATELY STANDS UP AND RUNS OFF, WITH LAURIE CALLING HIM. SOFIA ASKS LAURIE IF SHE’S OKAY, AND JOSH SAYS THAT HE’LL TAKE HER TO THE MEDBAY. SOFIA LOOKS AROUND AND SAYS THAT SHE’S GOING TO SPEAK TO DANI AND THEN FIND KEVIN.

LATER, LAURIE SITS ON A COT IN THE MEDBAY AS BEAST WRAPS HER HAND IN A CAST. AS HE WALKS OUT OF THE ROOM TO GET HER A LOLLIPOP, JOSH WALKS IN, ASKING IF SHE’S OKAY. LAURIE NODS, SAYING THAT KEVIN ONLY GOT MOST OF HER HAND, BUT BEAST HAS SUGGESTED GIVING HER PAINKILLERS. JOSH SUGGESTS HEALING HER, BUT WHEN HE PLACES HER HAND ON LAURIE’S CAST, NOTHING HAPPENS. JOSH IMMEDIATELY BREAKS DOWN IN TEARS, CALLING HIMSELF A FAILURE FOR BEING UNABLE TO HEAL HER OR HELP HER.

LAURIE: JOSH, I’M FINE. I DON’T…

JOSH: NO, I SHOULD’VE BEEN HONEST WITH YOU FROM THE START. I DIDN’T WANT TO HURT YOU, BUT IF I’D TOLD YOU ABOUT RAHNE, THIS WOULDN’T HAVE HAPPENED. I HURT YOU. THIS IS ALL MY FAULT.

LAURIE SMILES AND HOLDS HIS HAND, APOLOGIZING FOR NOT HEARING HIM OUT EARLIER, AND TELLS HIM THAT SHE WANTS HIM TO TELL HER ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED. HE TELLS HER THAT SHE BASICALLY ALREADY KNOWS WHAT HAPPENED FROM MEGAN, BUT LAURIE SAYS THAT SHE WANTS TO HEAR IT FROM HIM.

JOSH: RAHNE… WAS A PART OF MY LIFE THAT I DON’T LIKE TO THINK ABOUT. WE WERE DATING WHEN I WAS CERTAIN THAT NO ONE WOULD WANNA BE MY FRIEND BECAUSE OF MY PAST. BUT THAT WAS WRONG. RAHNE CALLED ME OUT ON IT AND DUMPED ME AND I WAS ABLE TO SEE THAT SHE WAS JUST A WAY TO RUN FROM MY PROBLEMS AND ACT LIKE THE JERK THAT I THOUGHT PEOPLE SAW ME AS. BUT YOU HELPED ME. I… I LOVE YOU, LAURIE. I CAN’T IMAGINE A LIFE WITHOUT YOU. RAHNE… SHE MEANT NOTHING TO ME. YOU… I LOVE…

LAURIE KISSES HIM, WHICH SHUTS HIM UP. AS HE LEANS INTO IT, ‘I GET TO LOVE YOU’ BY RUELLE PLAYS AS LAURIE TELLS JOSH THAT IT’S OKAY. SHE FORGIVES HIM. THEY CONTINUE TO KISS AS THE CAMERA FADES INTO THE NEXT SCENE. WE SEE SOFIA WALKING OVER TO KEVIN’S ROOM, WHICH SHE FINDS COMPLETELY EMPTY. THE ONLY THING LEFT IS A NOTE ON HIS BED. SOFIA PICKS IT UP AND HEADS BACK OVER TO HER ROOM BEFORE READING IT.

NOTE: SOFIA, YOU’LL PROBABLY WONDER WHY I’M WRITING TO YOU AND NOT JOSH AND LAURIE. THAT’S BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT WOULD BE BEST IF I DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING TO THEM FOR A WHILE. OR AT ALL. I REALLY DIDN’T MEAN TO CAUSE ALL THAT PAIN AND I DIDN’T MEAN TO HURT LAURIE, BUT IN RETROSPECT, IT’S PROBABLY A GOOD THING, BECAUSE IT REMINDED ME THAT I REALLY DON’T FIT IN HERE. I PUT IN FOR A TRANSFER TO THE LATVERIAN SCHOOL OF SCIENCE. I FEEL LIKE THAT WOULD BE A BETTER FIT FOR ME. AND IN A WAY, SOFIA, I SHOULD THANK YOU. YOU REMINDED ME THAT I HAVE A DARKNESS INSIDE ME. A HUNGER. SOME PART OF ME THAT WANTS TO DESTROY THE WORLD. AND THE LONGER I STAY AT XAVIER’S, THE LESS SAFE PEOPLE AROUND ME ARE. SO I NEED TO LEAVE. PLEASE DON’T TELL JOSH AND LAURIE. I DON’T WANT TO HURT THEM. BECAUSE THAT’S ALL I FEEL LIKE I’M CAPABLE OF DOING; HURTING PEOPLE. GOODBYE, SOFIA, AND THANKS FOR REMINDING ME THAT I DON’T FIT IN HERE. MAYBE I DON’T FIT IN ANYWHERE. THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME THAT. KEVIN.

SOFIA IMMEDIATELY BREAKS DOWN IN TEARS AFTER READING THE NOTE. SHE DROPS TO THE GROUND AND CRIES HER HEART OUT AS THE MUSIC CONTINUES TO PLAY. CLARICE ENTERS, TELLING SOFIA TO TURN ON THE TV, BECAUSE THEY’RE GOING TO WATCH TOTAL DRAMA UNTIL THE SUN COMES UP. SHE IMMEDIATELY STOPS WHEN SHE SEES SOFIA CRYING AND BENDS DOWN TO PUT A HAND ON HER SHOULDER.

CLARICE: BABE? ARE YOU OKAY? DID YOU WATCH THE SERIES FINALE OF DOOM PATROL AGAIN?

SOFIA LOOKS UP AT HER BEFORE LEANING INTO CLARICE’S ARMS.

SOFIA: DON’T TALK. JUST HOLD ME.

CLARICE WRAPS HER ARMS AROUND SOFIA’S TREMBLING BODY AND STROKES HER HAIR AS SOFIA SOBS VIOLENTLY. SHE SHUSHES SOFIA AND ASSURES HER THAT EVERYTHING’S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT. THE CAMERA ZOOMS OUT ON THE TWO BROKENHEARTED LOVERS AS THE SONG CONCLUDES.

WE THEN CUT TO ONE FINAL SCENE AS KEVIN WAITS FOR HIS PLANE TO LATVERIA. A WOMAN SITS NEXT TO HIM AND WE SEE THAT SHE’S EXTREMELY PALE WITH LONG DARK HAIR AND A BLACK SATIN DRESS. KEVIN SIGHS BEFORE ASKING HER IF SHE’S BEEN TO LATVERIA BEFORE, AND SHE RESPONDS, SHOCKING HIM BY CALLING HIM BY HIS FULL NAME.

KEVIN: H-HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME?

WOMAN: OH, I KNOW EVERYTHING, KEVIN. I KNOW ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL DISCOURAGED AFTER HAVING YOUR HEART BROKEN. YOU FEEL LIKE YOU’VE HIT ROCK BOTTOM. LIKE YOU’RE A MONSTER WHO WANTS TO BREAK THE WORLD. BUT I CAN HELP YOU. YOU CAN UNLOCK YOUR TRUE POTENTIAL WITH MY GUIDANCE. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, YOU CAN TAKE REVENGE ON JOSHUA FOLEY, SOFIA MANTEGA, AND THE REST OF THE X-MEN. BUT IF YOU GET ON THAT PLANE, I CANNOT HELP YOU. MAKE YOUR CHOICE, KEVIN FORD.

KEVIN LOOKS AT THE BEAUTIFUL WOMAN BEFORE GRABBING HIS SUITCASE AND ACCEPTING HER INVITATION. SHE CLUTCHES HIS HAND AND THEY WALK OUT THE AIRPORT TOGETHER.

KEVIN: SO WHAT’S YOUR NAME?

WOMAN: I HAVE MANY NAMES. BUT YOU MAY CALL ME… SELENE.

WE THEN FOCUS ON THE WOMAN AS HER PLUMP BLACK LIPS PART, REVEALING A SET OF VAMPIRIC FANGS. THE EPISODE ENDS WITH THE TWO OF THEM WALKING AWAY, KEVIN NOT KNOWING WHAT HE’S IN FOR OR WHERE HIS FATE LIES BASED ON HIS CHOICE. EERIE MUSIC PLAYS AS THE EPISODE CONCLUDES.

Congrats to the ultimate winner of the Hot & Vintage Movie Men Tournament, Mr. Toshiro Mifune! May he live happily and well where the sun always shines, enjoying the glories of a battle hard fought.

A loving farewell to all of our previous contestants, who are now banished to the shadow realm and all its dark joys and whispered horrors—I hear there's a picnic on the village green today. If you want to remember the fallen heroes, you can find them all beneath the cut.

What happens next? I'll be taking a break of two weeks to rest from this and prep for the Hot & Vintage Ladies Tournament. I'll still be around but only minimally, posting a few last odes to the hot men before transitioning into a little early ladies content, just like I did with this last tournament. The submission form for the Hot & Vintage Ladies tournament will remain up for one more week (closing February 21st), so get your submissions in for that asap! Once the form closes, there will be one more week of break. The first round of the Hot & Vintage Ladies Tournament will be posted on February 29th, as Leap Year Day seems like a fitting allusion to leaping into these ladies' arms.

Thanks for being here! Enjoy the two weeks off, and send me some great propaganda.

Lana Turner and John Garfield in The Postman Always Rings Twice (Tay Garnett, 1946)

Cast: Lana Turner, John Garfield, Cecil Kellaway, Hume Cronyn, Leon Ames, Audrey Totter, Alan Reed, Jeff York. Screenplay: Harry Ruskin, Niven Busch, based on a novel by James M. Cain. Cinematography: Sidney Wagner. Art direction: Randall Duell, Cedric Gibbons. Film editing: George White. Music: George Bassman.

It's one of the most memorable entrances in movies. Actually, her lipstick enters first, rolling across the floor toward him. She is Cora Smith and he is Frank Chambers, the man her husband has just hired to work in their roadside café/filling station. But more important, she is Lana Turner, one of the last of the products of the resources of the studio star factories: lighting, hair, makeup, wardrobe, and especially public relations. And he is John Garfield, one of the first of a new generation of Hollywood leading men, trained on the stage, and with an urban ethnicity about him: His vaguely presidential nom de théâtre thinly disguises his birth name, Jacob Julius Garfinkle. The pairing shouldn't work: She's a goddess, not an actress, whom the publicists had turned into "the Sweater Girl" while claiming that she had been discovered at a drugstore soda fountain. He was the child of Ukrainian-born Jews and grew up on the Lower East Side, trained as a boxer and studied acting with various disciples of Stanislavsky. But the chemistry is there from the moment Frank picks up Cora's lipstick and the camera surveys her from toe to head: white shoes, tan legs, white shorts, tan midriff, white halter top, blond hair, white turban. She reaches out her hand for the lipstick, but he doesn't move, so she comes over and gets it. It's one of the many power plays that will take place between them. The rest is one of the great film noirs, from a studio that didn't usually make them, MGM. In fact, the studio head, Louis B. Mayer, hated it, which is always a good recommendation: He hated Sunset Blvd. (Billy Wilder, 1950), too. (Mayer's tastes ran to Jeanette MacDonald-Nelson Eddy operettas and the Andy Hardy series.) It's the only really memorable movie directed by Tay Garnett, so I suspect a lot of credit goes to the screenwriters, Niven Busch and Harry Ruskin, and to their source, James M. Cain's overheated novel. Cain also wrote the novels that were the basis of two other famous noirs: Double Indemnity (Billy Wilder, 1944) and Mildred Pierce (Michael Curtiz, 1945), so the screenwriters and the director had some powerful examples to follow.

Ace Attorney Animation Ideas

Various AA animation ideas i have let’s go

“Mama” MCR - Dual Destinies AMV

”Devil’s Whisper” Raury - Kristoph AMV

”Do It With a Rockstar” - Klavier PMV (i love this song sm it’s so fucking good go listen to it)

”Along Came a Spider” Tesco Value - The Phantom PMV (if you haven’t heard this song before i highly recommend not reading comments before you listen)

”Sin Triangle” Sidney Gish - Athena PMV

”You Make Me Feel” Archive - A PMV abt Klavier’s reaction to Apollo in DD

”All Time What” They Might Be Giants - Fulbright PMV

“Laika” Wil Wagner - Clay Terran PMV (the song is literally abt a dog that went to space and then died so ofc i wanna make a clay terran pmv out of this)

”Dræm Girl” - Aura Blackquill PMV (the lyrics at the start would probably be her and Metis up to Metis’s death, and then the ascending guitar solo would be her doing the stuff she did in DD)

”Apollo” by Momma - Klavier PMV (self explanatory)

NEW X-MEN SEASON 2 EPISODE 4

EPISODE 4- A WEB OF LIES

WE OPEN UP IN CESSILY AND SOFIA’S ROOM AS CESSILY AND ROXY SNUGGLE TOGETHER. ROXY ADMITS THAT SHE APPRECIATES THE TIME CESSILY PUTS IN TO SPENDING TIME WITH HER, AND CESSILY CHUCKLES, SAYING THAT SHE’S WORTH IT. THE TWO KISS BEFORE CESSILY SAYS THAT THEY SHOULD PROBABLY GET TO CHEERLEADING PRACTICE, AS SOFIA DOESN’T LIKE IT WHEN THEY’RE LATE. THE GIRLS START FOR THE DOOR, BUT WHEN THEY OPEN IT, THEY SEE ALANI STANDING OUTSIDE. SHE SEEMS A BIT SURPRISED THAT ROXY IS THERE AND ACTS FLUSTERED WHILE CESSILY ASSUMES THAT SHE’S THERE TO REMIND THEM OF PRACTICE. ALANI NODS NERVOUSLY WHILE ROXY TELLS HER THAT THEY ALREADY GOT THE MEMO AND WALKS OFF WITH CESSILY.

CESSILY TELLS ROXY THAT SHE WAS A BIT HARSH, BUT SHE SAYS THAT SHE DOESN’T REALLY TRUST ALANI. SOMETHING SEEMS OFF ABOUT HER. AS THEY WALK OFF, ALANI WATCHES THEM BEFORE EMMA FROST SENDS A TELEPATHIC MESSAGE TO HER, SAYING THAT SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE HAS TO DO.

CUE INTRO AND CREDITS

WE TRANSITION OVER TO LAURIE AS SHE EXITS A CLASSROOM. ALL OF A SUDDEN, A BLACK-GLOVED HAND GRABS HER SHOULDER AND SHE WHIRLS AROUND TO SEE KEVIN STANDING BEHIND HER. SHE IMMEDIATELY ASKS HIM WHAT THE HELL HE’S DOING AND KEVIN SAYS THAT HE NEEDS TO TELL HER SOMETHING. LAURIE SIGHS AND ASKS HIM WHAT HIS PROBLEM IS; HE GHOSTS HER FOR ABOUT FOUR MONTHS IN FAVOR OF HIS NEW SQUAD BUDDIES AND NOW HE SUDDENLY WANTS TO TALK TO HER AND EXPECT TO PICK UP WHERE THEY LEFT OFF. KEVIN SIGHS AND BEGINS TO SPEAK.

KEVIN: LOOK, LAURIE, I WANT YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM JOSH. I KNOW THAT THERE’S SOMETHING UP WITH HIM AND I DON’T WANT YOU TO GET HURT. HE’S BAD NEWS, LAURIE.

LAURIE STARES AT HIM, GOBSMACKED.

LAURIE: OH, I GET IT.

KEVIN: YOU DO?

LAURIE: YOU’RE JEALOUS. YOU ABANDON ME FOR THE COOL KIDS AND NOW THAT I HAVE FRIENDS OUTSIDE OF YOU, AND A BOYFRIEND WHO LOVES ME, YOU WANT TO DO WHATEVER YOU CAN TO BRING THAT DOWN. THAT’S REALLY SELF-CENTERED, YOU KNOW? I WANNA BE HAPPY, KEVIN. I’VE CHANGED. I’M NOT THE SAME SHY WALLFLOWER WHO WOULD TALK WITH YOU ABOUT SHAWN MENDES ALBUMS IN THE LIBRARY. I’M HAPPY, KEV. SO PLEASE, IF YOU CAN’T ACCEPT THAT, I NEED YOU TO LEAVE ME ALONE.

WITH THAT, LAURIE WALKS OFF AND KEVIN WATCHES HER, DETERMINATION IN HIS EYES.

MEANWHILE, SOFIA LEADS THE CHEERLEADERS IN THEIR CHOREOGRAPHED DANCE TO ‘THEY DON’T KNOW’ BY ARIANA GRANDE. AS THE SONG ENDS, SOFIA CONGRATULATES THEM ON THE NEW ROUTINE AND DECIDES TO GIVE A BIG ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR THEIR NEW MEMBERS; MIRROR GIRL, ALCHEMIST, AND THE STEPFORD SISTERS. AS THEY APPLAUD, MONET COMPLIMENTS SOFIA ON THE NEW ROUTINE, BUT SOFIA SAYS THAT CESSILY CAME UP WITH MOST OF THE CHOREOGRAPHY. THE GIRLS APPLAUD AGAIN AND CESSILY SMILES WHILE ROXY PROUDLY ANNOUNCES THAT SHE’S HER GIRLFRIEND. ALANI SHIFTS UNCOMFORTABLY AT THAT, WHICH MEGAN OBSERVES. SOFIA THEN TELLS THEM ALL THAT THEY CAN LEAVE AND THEY ALL START TO EXIT THE GYM.

AS MEGAN LEAVES, ALANI SAYS THAT SHE NEEDS HER HELP. WHEN MEGAN ASKS HER WHAT SHE NEEDS HELP WITH, ALANI SAYS THAT SHE WAS THINKING OF PUTTING TOGETHER A BRUNCH AND SHE WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF MEGAN COULD ASK CESSILY IF SHE WANTS TO GO. MEGAN NODS, A BIT SUSPICIOUS, AS MONET LOOKS AT ALANI IN INTRIGUE, AND SHE ULTIMATELY AGREES TO TALK TO CESSILY.

AS MEGAN FLIES OVER TO CESSILY, MONET GRABS ALANI BY THE SHOULDER AND ASKS HER IF SHE’S LOST HER MIND. ALANI INNOCENTLY ASKS HER WHAT SHE MEANS, BUT MONET TELLS HER THAT SHE’S A TELEPATH AND SHE KNOWS WHAT EMMA SUGGESTED. ALANI TELLS MONET THAT SHE KNOWS, WHICH IS WHY SHE WANTS HER TO DO THE PROCEDURE, WHICH MONET IS HORRIFIED AT.

MONET: ALANI, YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND. THAT PROCEDURE IS DANGEROUS. YOU SHOULDN’T LET YOUR FEELINGS FOR CESSILY COME BEFORE YOUR COMMON SENSE.

ALANI: YOU’RE JUST JEALOUS BECAUSE THE ADVICE THAT MS. FROST GAVE YOU FAILED AND NOW JULIAN’S WITH THAT GOTH WOLVERINE.

MONET: GOD, ALANI. THE WORLD ISN’T ALL BLACK AND WHITE. I’VE MOVED ON FROM JULIAN. AND YOU SHOULD MOVE ON TOO. CESSILY IS HAPPY WHERE SHE IS, AND THIS PROCEDURE COULD RUIN YOUR FRIENDSHIP WITH HER. IT’S BETTER TO ACCEPT CESSILY THE WAY SHE IS RIGHT NOW.

ALANI: MONET, PLEASE JUST DO THE PROCEDURE. I REALLY WANT THIS, AND I NEED A TELEPATH TO DO IT. IF YOU WERE REALLY MY FRIEND, YOU’D DO IT.

MONET SIGHS, AND THEN TELLS ALANI THAT SHE KNOWS WHEN HER MIND’S MADE UP AND SHE’LL DO THE PROCEDURE IF ONLY TO BE A GOOD FRIEND, BUT ALANI HAS NO IDEA WHAT SHE’S DOING. ALANI BEAMS AND TELLS MONET THAT THEY’LL MEET AT THE GRIND STONE IN FIFTEEN MINUTES BEFORE WALKING OFF TO MEET MEGAN AND CESSILY. MONET THEN WALKS UP TO SOFIA AND TELLS HER THAT SHE NEEDS HELP.

SOFIA: WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

MONET: I THINK… I THINK ALANI’S ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING AWFUL. AND I JUST AGREED TO HELP HER.

LATER, CLARICE WALKS ALONG THE HALLWAYS OF XAVIER’S BEFORE RECEIVING A TEXT FROM SOFIA, SAYING THAT SHE’S A BIT BUSY WITH SOMETHING AT THE MOMENT, BUT THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF TIME FOR THEIR DATE LATER. CLARICE TEXTS BACK BEFORE ENTERING A CLASSROOM AND MEETING UP WITH TWO MORE STUDENTS. ONE IS A BLUE-SKINNED, POINTY-EARED GIRL WITH THREE FINGERS AND TOES, AND THE OTHER ONE IS A BALD, PALE-SKINNED BOY IN SHORTS AND A HAWAIIAN T-SHIRT THAT READS ‘PARTY NAKED’ ON IT. CLARICE EXCITEDLY GREETS TALIA JOSEPHINE WAGNER AND KEVIN SYDNEY, ALSO KNOWN AS NOCTURNE AND MORPH, WHO BOMBARD HER WITH HUGS.

TJ JOKINGLY SAYS THAT SHE’S GLAD CLARICE COULD TAKE SOME TIME OFF FROM HANGING OUT WITH HER NEW MUTANT BUDDIES WHILE MORPH APPLAUDS CLARICE FOR NOT ONLY SHOWING UP TO COMIC CLUB ON TIME BUT ALSO BEING ABLE TO HIT SOME SEXY LATINA TAIL. TJ WHACKS HIM ON THE ARM WHILE MORPH COMMENTS ON CLARICE’S OBVIOUS SEX HAIR, SAYING THAT SHE’S CLEARLY NOT USED HER BED FOR MUCH SLEEPING, IF SHE WAS EVEN IN HER BED. CLARICE REMINDS MORPH THAT HER SEX LIFE IS NONE OF HIS BUSINESS, BUT MORPH SAYS THAT HE CAN’T HELP IT. AS HE SPEAKS, HE MORPHS INTO A CHALK-WHITE VERSION OF SOFIA WITH PORN-STAR LEVEL LIPS AND BOOBS BEFORE CLARICE GRABS HIM BY THE NECK, MAKING HIM INFLATE LIKE A BALLOON.

TJ GIGGLES BEFORE ASKING WHERE BEAK AND ANGEL ARE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THEY’VE FLAKED AND THEY CAN’T MAKE COMIC CLUB OFFICIAL AND GAIN NEW MEMBERS IF THE OG MEMBERS DON’T KNOW THE VALUES OF PUNCTUALITY. MORPH THEN SAYS THAT HE HASN’T SEEN THEM IN CLASS FOR A WHILE, AND CLARICE WONDERS WHERE THEY ARE. SHE KNOWS HOW EXCITED THEY WERE TO TALK ABOUT MARIA LLOVET AND HOW HER ART REVOLUTIONIZED THE AMOUNT OF SEXUALITY IN COMICS.

SUDDENLY, THE DOOR FLIES OPEN AND BEAK ENTERS, WRINGING HIS HANDS WITH WORRY. HE PACES AROUND THE ROOM RAMBLING SOMETHING THAT SOUNDS LIKE A MIX OF ENGLISH AND SQUAWKING. CLARICE TELLS HIM TO CALM DOWN AND TJ ASKS WHAT’S WRONG. BEAK TELLS THEM THAT HE REALLY MESSED UP AND HE NEEDS THEIR HELP, AND MORPH ASKS WHAT’S MORE IMPORTANT THAN COMIC CLUB.

BEAK: OH GOD… OH GOD… I’M SO SORRY, GUYS. I DIDN’T KNOW… I SWEAR I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT I DID WHEN I DID IT AND NOW… OH MY GOD… AND NOW ANGEL IS PREGNANT WITH MONSTER BABIES!

THE TRIO LOOK AT HIM IN SHOCK WITH MORPH MIMICKING THE EXPRESSION OF A SHOCKED CARTOON CHARACTER AS BEAK STARTS SQUAWKING AGAIN.

MEANWHILE, MONET, SOFIA, CESSILY, ALANI, AND MEGAN HEAD OVER TO A LOCAL COFFEE SHOP AS CESSILY THANKS ALANI FOR PUTTING THIS BRUNCH TOGETHER. THEY THEN OPEN THE DOOR AND SIT DOWN AT A BOOTH AS SURGE GREETS THEM, DRESSED IN AN APRON.

NORI: WELL I’LL BE DAMNED. MONET ST. CROIX DARES TO ENTER AN ESTABLISHMENT THAT SHE PREVIOUSLY REFERRED TO AS A ‘GHETTO STARBUCKS’.

MONET: HEY ASHIDA. LONG TIME, NEVER SPEAK.

NORI CHUCKLES BEFORE MEGAN COMMENTS THAT SHE DIDN’T KNOW SHE WORKED AT THE GRIND STONE. NORI SAYS THAT SHE’S JUST LOOKING TO MAKE A QUICK BUCK, BEFORE TAKING THEIR ORDER. SOFIA EXCITEDLY GREETS NORI BEFORE TELLING MONET THAT A LOT OF STUDENTS GO HERE BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL. SHE THEN POINTS OVER TO WHERE DAVID, CAM, AURA, JAY, SOORAYA, LIN, AND LAURIE ARE SITTING AT A BOOTH AND WAVES AT THEM. AFTER TAKING THEIR ORDER, NORI SPEEDS OFF TO THE KITCHEN WHILE CESSILY AND SOFIA WAVE GOODBYE.

MEGAN: JUST OUT OF CURIOSITY, ALANI, WHY DID YOU PUT THIS BRUNCH TOGETHER?

ALANI: OH, UH… I JUST THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN TO JUST HANG OUT WITH MY FRIENDS, ENJOY A LITTLE DOWNTIME, Y’KNOW?

MONET: I BET YOU DID.

SOFIA LOOKS OVER AT MONET BEFORE TURNING TO ALANI, A BIT WORRIED.

MEANWHILE, JOSH CHANGES FOR FOOTBALL PRACTICE BEFORE WALKING OUT WITH BRIAN. AS THEY LEAVE THE LOCKER ROOM, KEVIN SNEAKS IN BEFORE LOOKING AROUND THE LOCKERS. HE THEN NOTICES A KEYCHAIN POKING OUT OF ONE LOCKER AND HE TOUCHES THE LOCK WITH HIS BARE HAND, WITHERING IT. HE THEN PULLS OUT JOSH’S DUFFEL BAG AND RIFLES THROUGH HIS STUFF BEFORE PULLING OUT HIS PHONE. HE THEN LOOKS THROUGH JOSH’S CALL HISTORY BEFORE TAPPING ON A MESSAGE FROM AN UNKNOWN CONTACT, WHICH HE PLAYS.

MESSAGE: JOSH, IT’S RAHNE. RAHNE SINCLAIR. LOOK, I CAN’T DO THIS ANYMORE. I LIKE YOU. YOU’RE A GREAT GUY, BUT THIS IS WRONG. YOU’RE A STUDENT AND I’M A TEACHER. WE NEED TO STAY PROFESSIONAL. SO I’M SORRY, BUT WE CAN’T SEE EACH OTHER ANYMORE. DON’T CALL OR TEXT ME AND DELETE MY NUMBER FROM YOUR CONTACTS. IT’S OVER. I’M SORRY.

KEVIN PLAYS THE MESSAGE AGAIN AS HIS EYES NARROW.

MEANWHILE, CLARICE TELLS BEAK THAT SHE’S GONNA GO OVER THIS ONE MORE TIME; ANGEL ACCEPTED A BET TO KISS HIM BUT KNEW HOW SAD HE WAS, SO SHE HAD SEX WITH HIM TO MAKE HIM FEEL BETTER, AND NOW SHE’S PREGNANT ALREADY WITHIN THE SPAN OF FIVE DAYS AND HE THINKS FROST AND CYCLOPS WOULD KICK THEM BOTH OUT IF THEY FOUND OUT. BEAK STARTS TO SOB AS CLARICE SPEAKS AND SAYS THAT HE DIDN’T KNOW THAT IT TOOK FIVE DAYS BETWEEN THE SEX AND THE BIRTH FOR A FLY’S PHYSIOLOGY.

MORPH: HEY, ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, NOW YOU KNOW WHAT A FLY’S VAGINA LOOKS LIKE!

BEAK STARTS SOB-SQUAWKING AGAIN AS TJ ASKS HIM IF ANGEL IS STILL PREGNANT THEN. BEAK TELLS HER THAT ANGEL HAS ALREADY STARTED LAYING EGGS AND HE COMMENTS THAT THEY’RE LIKE MONSTERS HANGING IN BAGS MADE OF SKIN AND IT’S ALL HIS FAULT. CLARICE SIGHS AND PUTS A HAND ON HIS SHOULDER.

CLARICE: BARNELL, LOOK, THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT, NOR IS IT ANGEL’S. PEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES, AND THEY ARE NOT TO BLAME FOR THEM. BESIDES, DANI SAYS THAT YOU’RE AN AMAZING STUDENT. SHE’D NEVER AGREE TO KICK YOU OUT.

MORPH: BESIDES, CLARICE HERE WOULD KNOW A LOT ABOUT ACCIDENTAL, AND SOMETIMES INTENTIONAL, SEX.

WHILE TJ ELBOWS MORPH IN THE GUT, BEAK ASKS WHAT HE SHOULD DO NOW. TJ THEN TELLS HIM THAT THE NEXT MOVE IS SIMPLE; THEY NEED TO KNOW WHERE THE EGGS ARE.

MEANWHILE, CESSILY AND ALANI EXIT THE COFFEE SHOP, LAUGHING. CESSILY THEN TELLS ALANI THAT SHE’S REALLY GLAD SHE PUT THE BRUNCH TOGETHER AND ALANI THANKS HER. CESSILY SAYS THAT SHE’S BEEN WANTING TO HANG OUT WITH ALANI FOR A WHILE, BECAUSE SHE LOOKS LIKE A REALLY FUN PERSON, AND ALANI SMILES IN RESPONSE.

CESSILY REACHES FORWARD TO TOUCH ALANI’S HAND, BUT HER HAND PHASES THROUGH IT, GETTING SHREDDED IN THE PROCESS. AS CESSILY’S HAND FALLS TO THE GROUND, ALANI APOLOGIZES, BUT CESSILY LAUGHS AND SAYS THAT SHE WAS LOOKING TO LOSE A FEW POUNDS ANYWAY. ALANI LAUGHS NERVOUSLY AS CESSILY REABSORBS HER HAND, AND SHE COMMENTS THAT HER POWERS ALWAYS TEND TO GET OUT OF CONTROL WHEN SHE GETS EXCITED. CESSILY SYMPATHIZES WITH ALANI’S INABILITY TO ACT UPON HER FEELINGS, AND SAYS THAT SHE WISHES SHE COULD DO SOMETHING TO HELP.

AS MONET, MEGAN, AND SOFIA EXIT, ALANI TELLS CESSILY THAT SHE’S ACTUALLY HEARD OF A TELEPATHIC PROCEDURE THAT CAN ASSIST IN JUST THIS OCCASION. THE CATCH IS THAT IT NEEDS TWO PEOPLE IN ORDER TO WORK. CESSILY LOOKS OVER AT MONET BEFORE ASKING IF IT’S BASICALLY PSYCHIC SEX. ALANI SHRUGS AND CESSILY LOOKS A BIT NERVOUS, BUT SHE ULTIMATELY ACCEPTS. ANYTHING TO HELP OUT A FRIEND. SOFIA LOOKS OVER AT MONET, WHO SIGHS AND SAYS THAT SHE’LL PERFORM THE PROCEDURE IF THEY BOTH INSIST ON IT, BUT WARNS THEM THAT IT CAN BE… A LOT TO HANDLE. ALANI AND CESSILY NOD AND THE QUINTET GATHER UNDERNEATH A LARGE OAK TREE.

UNDER MONET’S INSTRUCTIONS, CESSILY AND ALANI LIE DOWN ON THEIR BACKS AND CLOSE THEIR EYES. MONET THEN SITS BESIDE THEM AND SAYS THAT THEY SHOULD RELAX THEIR MINDS AND HOLD HANDS. ALANI TIMIDLY REACHES FOR CESSILY’S HAND AND SURPRISINGLY, IS ABLE TO HOLD IT WITHOUT DISASTER. MONET INSTRUCTS MEGAN AND SOFIA TO WATCH THEM BEFORE ASKING AGAIN IF THEY’RE OKAY WITH THIS. ALANI AND CESSILY AGREE AND MONET CLOSES HER EYES. A BLUE LIGHT THEN EMERGES FROM MONET’S HEAD BEFORE REACHING ALANI AND CESSILY’S HEADS WHILE MEGAN AND SOFIA LOOK ON, THE FORMER SEEMING EXCITED WHILE THE LATTER IS MORE WORRIED. MEGAN THEN ASKS WHAT THEY’RE SEEING IN THERE.

WE THEN CUT OVER TO THE ASTRAL PLANE, WHERE ALANI AND CESSILY ARE ENTANGLED IN A PSYCHEDELIC RAPTURE. THEY’RE SURROUNDED BY COLORS AND LIGHT WITH THEIR BODIES TURNING IMMATERIAL AND BATHED IN WARMTH. MONET SAYS THAT THEIR RESPECTIVE SUBCONSCIOUSNESSES ARE BLURRING TOGETHER. NO BORDERS, NO BOUNDARIES, EVERYTHING IS SHARED. EVERY HOPE AND DREAM. EVERY FANTASY. EVERY PLEASURE. EVERY CRY FOR DELIGHT. EVERY SECRET. ALTHOUGH, AS CESSILY AND ALANI’S FORMS ARE ENTWINED TOGETHER, CESSILY LOOKS MORE SAD THEN EUPHORIC.

HOWEVER, AS THEY CONTINUE TO BE ENTANGLED TOGETHER, A DARK RED SPOT EMERGES IN THE ASTRAL. IT SLOWLY STARTS TO GET BIGGER AND BIGGER AND SLOWLY OVERTAKES THE PSYCHEDELIC RAINBOW BEFORE OVERTAKING CESSILY AND ALANI. IN THE REAL WORLD, BOTH GIRLS THRASH AND CRY OUT AS IF THEY’RE HAVING A NIGHTMARE, AND SOFIA ASKS WHAT’S WRONG. MONET SAYS THAT SHE WAS WORRIED ABOUT THIS. THEY’RE SHARING TOO MUCH. AND THEIR UGLIEST SECRETS ARE STARTING TO TAKE CONTROL. IF THIS KEEPS UP, THERE WON’T BE ANY OF CESSILY AND ALANI’S PSYCHE LEFT.

SOFIA THEN SAYS THAT SHE’S GOING IN, AND MONET WARNS HER THAT IT’S TOO DANGEROUS. IF SHE GOES IN, SHE RUNS THE RISK OF FRYING HER MIND. SOFIA SHRUGS THIS OFF, SAYING THAT CESSILY IS HER BEST FRIEND. SHE’D DO THE SAME FOR HER. MONET THEN TELLS MEGAN THAT IF ANYTHING GOES WRONG, SHE SHOULD GO FOR HELP, AND MEGAN NODS, NERVOUSLY. WITH THAT, SOFIA LIES DOWN AND CLASPS CESSILY’S HAND WHILE MONET TOUCHES THE TWO GIRLS’ FOREHEADS.

WHEN MONET AND SOFIA APPEAR IN THE ASTRAL PLANE, THE AREA IS COMPLETELY RED, MADE UP OF CESSILY AND ALANI’S TWISTED PSYCHE. A FEW MILES AWAY, AN ORB LIES, MADE UP OF CESSILY AND ALANI’S WRITHING AND SCREAMING FORMS. SOFIA IS THEN BOMBARDED WITH CESSILY AND ALANI’S VOICES AND CRIES OUT BUT MONET TELLS HER TO FOCUS. IF SHE SUCCUMBS TO THE DARKNESS, HER BODY WILL SUFFER PERMANENT DAMAGE. SOFIA NODS AND MONET SAYS THAT ALL THEY NEED TO DO IS GET TO THE ORB AND TOUCH IT, AND EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE. SOFIA SIGHS BEFORE TELLING MONET THAT SHE’S READY. AS THE GIRLS FLY TOWARDS THE ORB, CESSILY AND ALANI’S VOICES SPEAK, OVERLAPPING EACH OTHER, AS THEIR DARK SECRETS ARE EXPOSED.

CESSILY: --WHEN I WAS 4, I BURNED A LITTLE FROG WITH A MAGNIFYING GLASS. I KNEW I SHOULD FEEL GUILTY, BUT I ACTUALLY KINDA ENJ--

ALANI: --BARELY KNOW YOU, BUT I GET THIS VIBE LIKE WE CAN BE REALLY HAPPY IF WE JUST DIVE RIGHT IN AND—

CESSILY: --AFTER MOM CALLED ME A FREAK, I SPENT HOURS FANTASIZING ABOUT TURNING TO LIQUID AND JUST… JUST FILLING UP HER MOUTH AND HER NOSTRILS AND HER LUNGS AND—

ALANI: --SO I WAS THINKING FIVE KIDS, THREE GIRLS AND TWO BOYS, MAYBE WE ADOPT A COUPLE MORE, AND—

ALANI AND CESSILY’S THOUGHT REACH SOFIA, CAUSING HER TO SLOWLY BLEED FROM HER NOSE AND EYES. MONET NOTICES THIS, HER NOSE STARTING TO BLEED AS WELL, AND ASKS SOFIA IF SHE’S OKAY. SOFIA TELLS HER THAT SHE’S FINE AND INSISTS THAT THEY KEEP GOING, AS THEY’RE ALMOST TO THE ORB.

CESSILY: --SOMETIMES DREAM ABOUT CUTTING AND CUTTING--

ALANI: --I SWIM IN THE OCEAN AND IT’S… IT’S JUST CALLING… LIKE I JUST WANT TO DISSOLVE INTO THE ENDLESS BLACK AND NOT FEEL ANYTHING—

CESSILY: YOU MOTHERFUCKING MEAT PEOPLE WITH YOUR WARM BLOOD AND BEAUTIFUL SENSES… YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW LUCKY YOU ARE—

ALANI: --I DIDN’T EVEN WANT TO DO THIS BUT MS. FROST INSISTED THAT IT WAS FINE AND THAT IT WOULDN’T HURT AT ALL, BUT THIS HURTS SO MUCH AND I JUST NEED—

SOFIA CRIES OUT IN PAIN AS BLOOD POURS FROM HER EYES, NOSE, EARS, AND MOUTH. MONET LOOKS AT HER AND SAYS THAT SHE NEEDS TO GET OUT NOW. THE DAMAGE TO HER BRAIN COULD BE TOO SEVERE IF SHE CONTINUES. SOFIA REFUSES TO LEAVE MONET ALONE, NOTICING THAT SHE’S BLEEDING TOO, BUT MONET INSISTS.

MONET: SOFIA, I KNOW I HAVEN’T BEEN THE BEST FRIEND TO YOU. YOU’RE SWEET AND PRETTY AND I JUST FUCK EVERYTHING UP. IF IT CAME BETWEEN THE TWO OF US, THEY WOULD NEED YOU MORE THAN ME. IF I DON’T MAKE IT OUT, TELL CESSILY, TELL ALANI, TELL EVERYONE THAT… I’M SO SORRY.

SOFIA CRIES OUT TO MONET, WHO CLOSES HER EYES AND EJECTS HER FROM THE ASTRAL. SOFIA WAKES UP IN THE REAL WORLD, WIPING BLOOD AND TEARS FROM HER EYES AND SHE LOOKS AROUND, NOTICING THAT MEGAN ISN’T THERE. SHE LOOKS OVER AT MONET’S UNCONSCIOUS FORM AND STARTS TO PRAY.

MEANWHILE, CLARICE, BEAK, MORPH, AND TJ WALK THROUGH THE WOODS AS CLARICE ASKS BEAK IF HE’S SURE THAT THE EGGS ARE HERE. BEAK NODS, SAYING THAT THEY FOUND AN OLD SHACK HERE THAT THEY THOUGHT WOULD BE GREAT TO HIDE THE EGGS. TJ NOTICES THE SHACK AND APPROACHES IT, NERVOUSLY. AS SHE TRIES TO OPEN THE DOOR, SHE FINDS OUT THAT IT’S LOCKED AND TELLS THE OTHERS TO STAND BACK. THEY DO SO AND TJ FORMS A BLUE BOLT IN HER HANDS, WHICH SHE USES TO BLAST DOWN THE DOOR. MORPH THEN TURNS INTO A PALE-SKINNED POLICE OFFICER AND DEMANDS THAT WHOEVER’S INSIDE SHOULD PUT THEIR HANDS UP, BUT A FEMALE VOICE YELLS NOT TO SHOOT.

INSIDE THE SHACK, ANGEL SITS CROSS-LEGGED AND SMILING AMONGST MILLIONS OF SMALL FLYING CHILDREN. THEY ALL HAVE ANGEL’S WINGS AND SOME OF BEAK’S FEATURES WITH MOST HAVE HIS FACIAL FEATURES. THE QUARTET’S EXPRESSIONS LIGHTEN AS ANGEL CONTINUES TO BEAM AT THEM, HAPPILY.

ANGEL: THE BAGS BURST, BUT IT’S OKAY NOW. CHECK ‘EM OUT!

MEANWHILE, MONET CONTINUES TO FLY TOWARD THE TWISTED ORB, BOMBARDED WITH SECRETS AND FANTASIES. BLOOD CONTINUES TO POUR FROM HER ORIFICES AS SHE KICKS HER LEGS AND REACHES HER HAND OUT TO TOUCH THE ORB. HER MOUTH OPENS WIDE IN A SCREAM BUT BLOOD POURS OUT INSTEAD. THE MOMENT HER FINGERTIP TOUCHES THE ORB, IT EXPLODES INTO A BRIGHT LIGHT AND MONET FINDS HERSELF BACK IN THE REAL WORLD, WITH CESSILY AND ALANI WAKING UP BEFORE STARING AT EACH OTHER, SHOCKED.

ALANI: Y-Y-YOU’RE SICK! YOU’RE TWISTED ON THE INSIDE!

CESSILY: I’M SICK?! YOU LIED TO ME! Y-YOU TOOK MY FEELINGS ABOUT YOU AS A FRIEND AND YOU FUCKING VIOLATED IT! YOU MANIPULATED ME! PLAYED WITH MY FEELINGS! YOU RAPED MY MIND BECAUSE YOU KNEW I WOULD WANT TO HELP YOU BECAUSE I WANT TO BE A GOOD FRIEND AND YOU DIDN’T CARE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN! AND NOW YOU WANNA PLAY THE VICTIM BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU SAW IN MY HEAD?! WELL GUESS WHAT?! MY HEAD IS FUCKED UP! FUCKING DEAL WITH IT!

ALANI: F-FUCK YOU! YOU’RE EVIL! YOU’RE A MONSTER! YOU’RE INSA-

CESSILY: NO, YOU’RE THE INSANE ONE! YOU’RE A LYING SLUT AND A BITCH! Y-YOU LIED TO ME AND BETRAYED MY FUCKING TRUST! YOU’RE A BAD FRIEND AND A TERRIBLE PERSON! I HATE YOU, ALANI! YOU’RE A SNAKE! A LYING, SELFISH, MANIPULATIVE SNAKE!

WITH THAT, CESSILY RUNS AWAY IN TEARS WITH ALANI STORMING OFF IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. SOFIA IMMEDIATELY RUNS AFTER CESSILY AND MONET WAITS FOR A WHILE BEFORE MAKING UP HER MIND AND RUNNING AFTER HER TEAMMATE.

MEANWHILE, MORPH AND TJ PLAY WITH THE BABIES WHILE BEAK COMMENTS THAT IN HIS DREAMS, HE WOULD SEE AN ARMY OF MONSTERS SHOUTING ‘FATHER!’ BUT THIS IS JUST WONDERFUL. ANGEL LAUGHS AND SAYS THAT SHE’S GONNA NAME THEM AFTER THE JACKSON FAMILY BEFORE SAYING THAT ONE LITTLE FREAK LOOKS ABOUT AS CUTE AND USELESS AS BEAK, WHO COMMENTS ON THE WINGSPAN OF ANOTHER LITTLE GUY.

CLARICE KNEELS DOWN AND REACHES OUT TO THE CHILD IN ANGEL’S LAP BEFORE TELLING THEM THAT THEY SHOULD’VE BEEN HONEST FROM THE BEGINNING. ANGEL SAYS THAT SHE WAS WORRIED THAT THEY’D GET KICKED OUT, SINCE THERE’S NEVER BEEN A STUDENT AT XAVIER’S WHO’S GOTTEN PREGNANT. CLARICE AGREES, BUT SAYS THAT SINCE IT’S NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE, THEY SHOULD AGREE TO HELP IF A SITUATION LIKE THIS EVER ARISES AGAIN. SHE AGREES TO TALK TO DANI TO SEE IF THEY CAN LIVE HERE AND MAYBE THEY COULD SKIP SOME CLASSES TO TAKE CARE OF THE CHILDREN. MORPH THEN SAYS THAT THEY SHOULD DO THE SAME IF BEAK AND ANGEL ARE TOO BUSY, AND PLUS, “UNCLE MORPHIE” NEEDS TO BE THERE FOR THE KIDS. TJ ALSO VOLUNTEERS TO HELP SPIFF THE PLACE UP AND MAKE IT MORE FAMILY-FRIENDLY AND CLARICE COMES UP WITH THE IDEA OF SIGNING THEM UP FOR THE LOWER SCHOOL SO THAT XUAN CAN HELP WHILE BEAK AND ANGEL ARE AT SCHOOL.

ANGEL AND BEAK THANK THEM FOR THEIR HELP AND CLARICE ASKS IF THEY’RE GOING TO STAY TOGETHER. THEY BOTH SMILE AND SAY THAT THEY HATED XAVIER’S AT FIRST, BUT THERE IS ONE THING THAT THEY LOVE ABOUT IT, AND IT’S THAT THEY WERE ABLE TO FIND EACH OTHER.

MEANWHILE, SOFIA SEARCHES FOR CESSILY, EVENTUALLY FINDING HER CRYING. AS SHE ASKS CESSILY IF SHE’S OKAY, CESSILY TELLS HER THAT SHE’S NOT OKAY. SHE’S NEVER BEEN OKAY. SHE FEELS LIKE A MONSTER AND KNOWS THAT EVERYONE WILL REJECT HER ONCE ALANI TELLS. EVEN ROXY WILL LOOK AT HER LIKE A FREAK AMONG FREAKS.

SOFIA: CESSILY, I UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FEEL—

CESSILY: NO YOU DON’T! HOW COULD YOU OF ALL PEOPLE KNOW HOW I FEEL?! YOU’RE THE PRETTIEST GIRL IN SCHOOL! YOU’RE POPULAR, YOU HAVE FAMILY WHO LOVES YOU! YOU COULD NEVER KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO WAKE UP ONE MORNING A FREAK! MY PARENTS LOVED ME! I WAS EVERYTHING TO THEM! AND THEN WHEN I GOT MY POWERS, THEY DIDN’T SEE ME AS THEIR PRECIOUS GIRL ANYMORE! THEY JUST SAW ME AS A FREAK! YOU SHOULD SEE HOW QUICKLY THEY SENT ME TO XAVIER’S WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT! I… NO ONE LOVES ME! NO ONE EVER WILL!

SOFIA STARTS TO CRY AND PUTS A HAND ON CESSILY’S SHOULDER.

SOFIA: CESSILY, LOOK AT ME. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND YOU ARE LOVED. ROXY LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD, AND I KNOW YOU’D NEVER CHASE ME OR HER OR ANYONE AWAY. I KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE REJECTED AND I KNOW THAT IT MAY MAKE YOU AFRAID TO TRY TO FORM A MEANINGFUL CONNECTION, BUT I’M HERE FOR YOU. I WILL ALWAYS BE. YOU’RE MY BEST FRIEND, CESSILY. AND I LOVE YOU. WARTS AND ALL.

CESSILY COLLAPSES INTO SOFIA’S ARMS, CRYING AND SOFIA HUGS HER. AFTER A WHILE, CESSILY WIPES AWAY TEARS AND SNOT AND THANKS SOFIA FOR HELPING HER. SOFIA THEN ASKS IF SHE’S READY TO GO AND CESSILY NODS, STANDING UP WITH SOFIA’S HELP.

MEANWHILE, MONET FINDS ALANI BESIDE THE COFFEE SHOP. ALANI SWIPES AWAY TEARS AND TELLS MONET THAT CESSILY’S RIGHT. SHE’S A LIAR AND A SNAKE. SHE REFLECTS ON HOW SHE BETRAYED CESSILY’S TRUST AND VIOLATED HER MIND. SHE KNOWS THAT SHE HAD NO RIGHT TO INTRUDE UPON CESSILY’S SECRETS AND SHE SHOULD’VE BEEN HAPPY TO HAVE HER AS A FRIEND. AS MONET SITS DOWN, ALANI TAKES OUT A VAPE PEN AND PLACES IT TO HER LIPS, BLOWING A STREAM OF SMOKE FROM THEM AS SHE ASKS MONET IF SHE THINKS SHE’S A BAD FRIEND.

MONET: ALANI, I NEED TO TELL YOU SOMETHING. I KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE UNABLE TO TOUCH ANYONE. NOT LONG AGO, SOMEONE DID SOMETHING TERRIBLE TO ME. THEY TRAPPED ME INSIDE A HOLLOW SHELL, UNABLE TO TOUCH ANYONE WITHOUT CAUSING THEM PAIN. I LIVED THAT WAY FOR A WHILE, UNABLE TO SPEAK OR TOUCH ANYONE. THAT WAS MY CURSE. THAT WAS MY PENANCE. I WAS NEVER THE SAME EVEN AFTER I WAS FREED. THE TWO OF US, WE’RE UNTOUCHABLE. BUT WE DON’T HAVE TO CONTINUE TO BE THAT WAY. WE CAN BE BETTER.

ALANI LOOKS UP AND STARTS TO SMILE. SHE SAYS THAT WHEN THE YEAR BEGAN, SHE REALIZED SHE WAS BISEXUAL. SHE WANTED SOMEONE TO LOVE HER AND SHE THOUGHT ABOUT HOW GOOD A FRIEND CESSILY WAS TO HER. BUT SHE SAW HOW HAPPY SHE WAS WITH ROXY AND SHE WAS JEALOUS. BUT SHE KNOWS THAT DEEP DOWN, SHE SEES CESSILY AS A GOOD FRIEND AND SHE WANTS TO STAY THAT WAY. MONET STANDS UP AND OFFERS HER HAND TO ALANI, WHO STANDS UP AND GIVES HER A HUG.

A FEW MINUTES LATER, SOFIA AND CESSILY MEET ALANI AND MONET. SOFIA REMINDS CESSILY NOT TO LET ALANI GET TO HER, AND CESSILY WALKS UP TO HER.

CESSILY: ALANI, I’M REALLY SORRY. I SHOULD’VE-

ALANI: YOU HAVE NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR. I SHOULD’VE BEEN A BETTER FRIEND. I… I SHOULDN’T HAVE PRESSURED YOU INTO THIS. I’M VERY TRULY SORRY.

THE TWO GIRLS HUG.

ALANI: SO, STILL FRIENDS?

CESSILY: QUID PRO QUO, CLARICE. YOU DON’T TELL ANYONE ABOUT WHAT YOU SAW IN THE ASTRAL PLANE. THOSE ARE MY SECRETS AND I’LL TELL THEM TO ROXY WHEN I WANT TO.

ALANI: DEAL.

CESSILY: AND I, FOR ONE, AM SO GLAD THAT YOU’RE THINKING OF COMING OUT, BUT I CAN’T RECIPROCATE YOUR FEELINGS. I’M HAPPY WITH ROXY. BUT I CAN HELP YOU FIND SOMEONE ELSE. SOMEONE WHO YOU CAN LOVE.

ALANI: WELL… I WAS THINKING OF ASKING SUDI OUT. WE’VE BEEN PRETTY CLOSE.

ALL OF A SUDDEN, MEGAN DASHES OVER, RED-FACED AND PANTING, AS SHE DRAGS A CONFUSED TRAFFIC WARDEN BY THE COLLAR. SHE’S SWEATING LIKE CRAZY AND LOOKS HALF-CRAZED.

MEGAN: I COULDN’T FIND A POLICE OFFICER SO I GOT A TRAFFIC WARDEN! WRITE THEM ALL A TICKET!

SOFIA GIGGLES BEFORE TELLING MEGAN THAT THEY’VE CLEARED EVERYTHING UP, AND MEGAN RELAXES, ASKING IF THEY CAN GO HOME NOW. THE GIRLS START TO WALK BACK TO THE SCHOOL AND CESSILY AND ALANI START TO TALK TOGETHER. SOFIA IS ABOUT TO JOIN THEM WHEN MONET STOPS HER.

MONET: I TRUST YOU SAW THAT SECRET OF ALANI’S, RIGHT?

SOFIA: YES. EMMA FROST WAS THE ONE WHO TOLD ALANI TO DO THE PROCEDURE. JUST LIKE WHAT HAPPENED WITH YOU AND JULIAN.

MONET: I KNOW SHE MEANS WELL, BUT…

SOFIA: I KNOW. WHO ELSE DID SHE AGREE TO HELP?

MONET: WELL, EDIE, MARCOS, SUDI, AND MARK JUST WANTED HELP ON CLASSWORK, SO THE ONLY OTHER ONE WHO WANTED HELP IN THE OTHER WAY WAS… KEVIN.

SOFIA: THEN WE NEED TO FIND HIM BEFORE HE DOES SOMETHING HE’LL REGRET.

AS THEY WALK HOME, ‘PIANO MAN’ BY BILLY JOEL STARTS TO PLAY. WE SEE TJ, DANI, AND MORPH HELPING BEAK AND ANGEL FIX UP THE SHACK AND SOME OF THE BABIES PITCH IN AS WELL. THE COUPLE EMBRACES, SMILING HAPPILY. MEANWHILE, ALANI FLOPS ONTO HER BED, LOOKING OVER AT A NOTE FROM MIRROR GIRL SAYING THAT SHE GOT INVITED TO A PARTY AND SHE’LL BE BACK LATE. ALANI THEN PULLS OUT HER PHONE AND STARTS TO TEXT SUDI, ASKING IF SHE’D LIKE TO GO OUT WITH HER SOME TIME. WHEN SHE SENDS THE TEXT, SHE WRITES ANOTHER ONE THAT CLARIFIES THAT SHE MEANS TO ASK HER ON A DATE, BUT SHE HESITATES. HER FINGER HOVERS OVER THE SEND BUTTON AND SHE BITES HER LIP, NERVOUS, BUT SHE EVENTUALLY LOOKS DETERMINED AND SENDS THE MESSAGE, WAITING FOR SUDI TO TEXT BACK.

MEANWHILE, CLARICE AND SOFIA LIE IN BED, AS CLARICE TELLS SOFIA THAT SHE LOOKS HAPPY. SOFIA SMILES AND SAYS THAT SHE’S NOTICED THE SAME ABOUT CLARICE, WHO SAYS THAT SHE DID A GOOD THING TODAY. SOFIA SAYS SHE DID TOO AND THE TWO KISS BEFORE PROCEEDING TO HAVE SEX. MEANWHILE, ROXY LOOKS OVER AT A SMILING CESSILY AND ASKS WHAT’S UP. SHE JUST KISSES HER AND SAYS THAT SHE JUST CAN’T IMAGINE LIFE GETTING ANY BETTER THAN THIS.

WE THEN CUT OVER TO ONE FINAL SCENE AS JOSH KISSES LAURIE GOODNIGHT. LAURIE SAYS THAT CLARICE IS PROBABLY HOOKING UP WITH SOFIA AGAIN AND ASKS IF MAYBE JOSH COULD SPEND THE NIGHT WITH HER. JOSH SAYS NO, HE HAS A TEST TOMORROW AND NEEDS TO SLEEP, BUT ASSURES LAURIE THAT THEY’LL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TOMORROW. AS LAURIE CLOSES THE DOOR, JOSH STARTS TO WALK TOWARD HIS ROOM BUT KEVIN WALKS RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM.

JOSH: THE FUCK, KEVIN? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

KEVIN: I’LL CUT TO THE CHASE. YOU’RE GOING TO BREAK UP WITH LAURIE.

JOSH: WHAT? ARE YOU ON CRACK? WHY WOULD I DO THAT?

THE CAMERA ZOOMS IN ON KEVIN AS HE GIVES JOSH A DEVIOUS, SHIT-EATING GRIN.

KEVIN: BECAUSE IF YOU DON’T, I’LL TELL THE ENTIRE SCHOOL ABOUT WHAT YOU WERE DOING WITH RAHNE SINCLAIR LAST SEMESTER. AND YOU’LL GET EXPELLED!

[yourdeepestfathoms]

bands / style of music the choir listen to

Ocean-The Cranberries (not to sure with her). I feel like they both relate to Zombie far to much (like their parents fighting maybe ??)but also classical so (Mozart but more dramatic so Wagner and Strauss )

Penny -The Cranberries /Kate bush/of monster and men? Oldies / pop rock with a bit of indie and synth

( I feel like the commune would probably have a lot of 70s to 90s music or something )

Constance - Beyoncé (she seems like the type to belt I’m a sing lady ) /ABBA

singalong type of songs you’d play at a party

Ricky - David Bowie /Elton John / maybe a bit of Queen ?classic 80s

Noel - Gershwin / old jazz (but secretly ) Coldplay or indie something ?

Mischa - Simple Plan / smash mouth ( early 2000s style stuff )God must hate me is peek mischa angst

and songs I think of for the whole choir

At the carnival /Wars- Of monsters and men

in limbo (is that what we’re calling it ) -chain by Fleetwood Mac

i have been WAITING for an excuse to talk about songs i think fit Ocean and are also songs i make amvs to in my head that center around her, so i’m using this to add those songs

this is gonna be long because OF COURSE i’m including text evidence in the form of lyrics

apologies in advance

Venom by Kairikibear (ft. v flower)

The recipe for my heart is flavored with attention-seeking;

I’m a nirvana junkie

I pretend more and more to be strong

And end up face-down in the mud

Gulping down the poison

Feeling pain, crying, there’s no coughing up this veno-venom

Goodbye

The Main Character by Will Wood

C’mon, give me more love

So God forbid I'm seen just as an average human being

I mean, imagine if protagonists just died in the first scene

I'm the gap between a tragedy and comedy

Don't come at me

I'm the main character and you have to like me

Top of My School by Katherine Lynn-Rose

But if I hadn’t earned a dollar

What would you think of your dear daughter?

Would it be pity or dishonor

To ensue?

And if I failed to earn blue ribbon

How could I ever be forgiven?

Tell me what love would still be given

From you

Dirty Imbecile by The Happy Fits

Love my mum and love my daddy

Sure they messed me up but that is

Voices that they left inside of my head

Darling, dearest, don't you see

I'm tough, I'm smart, I'm bourgeoisie?

And I'll play out this lie until we're all dead

Bugbear by Chloe Moriondo

I feel so brain dead next to you

It's not like you intended to

Hurt me or make me feel this way

And I'm not tryin' to complain

But it just sucks to try and explain

Why I feel like this every day

Sin Triangle by Sidney Gish

Two-faced bitches never lie

And therefore I never lie

Diagram this sin triangle

But the biblical kind and not sine, because

I don't know just what to say

And a sickness by another name

Wouldn't be sweet either but

With luck, it would at least, like, not suck

It Should’ve Been Me by RIP (ft. Solaria)

Caught in my fantasies

Don’t look inside pandora’s box

Push down the jealousy

No, nobody needs to know

Please don’t think less of me!

I’m but a lonely soul, you see

Oh, what a shame I’ve gone insane

A Lesson In Being Genuine by MonochroMenace (ft. Solaria)

Tell myself it’s okay cause I’m self aware

Excuse all of my actions cause deep down I care

Tomorrow I’ll work on being better I swear

Anything that I can do to keep them there

Appetite of a People-Pleaser by GHOST (ft. v flower)

Now that I’ve become a full-course identity

Take a bite of me

I hope that I’ve become a favorable delicacy

That I’m worth something

I’ll eat ‘em all, the thoughts of anyone I’ll ever meet

Just to make them happy

Wondering why I’m a burden, or so it seems

Aren’t I everything?
