Imagine Max having a fight with Neil because he doesn't want her to see Billy, and she goes to the Hopper family's new house asking if she can stay for the night because she doesn't want to go back home to her stepfather. And then imagnie Neil coming to knock at the door to take Max back, also scaring Billy. And maybe Hop and Joyce will put him in his place.
Hey hun, are you trying to kill both me AND Neil??????? And I say Neil bc Neil is gonna die at the hands of Hop & Joyce if he keeps doing this BULLSHIT. fuck neil.
(i swear you’re all trying to kill me and put Hop in jail but i love y’all for it so it’s fine ♥)
okay so it’s almost dinner time and Billy is walking past the front door to go to the kitchen and help Jonathan get some plates down when someone knocks on the door. He detours the couple of steps it takes to get to the door and swings it open, face unamused until a flash of red is rushing towards him, aimed straight for his chest and making solid contact. It catches Billy off guard, throwing his hands out and fully prepared to push the incoming attacker off when he realizes how small this person is and how warm and are they hugging me? And…
“Max?”
“Can I stay here?” She asks, voice distant and muffled in Billy’s chest. He doesn’t know what to say, just takes another step back so he can close the door and keep the cold out.
“What’s wrong with you, brat?” He asks, patting Max’s shoulder while also lightly pushing her away. He loves her, yeah, but they were never like… affectionate with each other. They never hug or anything, it’s usually light punches and playful shoves.
“Can I say?” She asks again, pulling away and catching eyes with Joyce, who’s standing in the doorway to see who just walked in.
“Hello there, sweetie! What’re you doing here? Would you like to stay for dinner?”
“Yes please.” Max says, rolling her board underneath her foot and over to the corner. Billy didn’t even notice it when she first walked in.
so she skated here.
She smoothes her hair down a little bit and walks over to find Will and El and tell them dinner is almost ready.
Billy doesn’t trust it.
Bc he knows his kid sister. Knows she’s never this frazzled. Knows she only avoids answering when the answer is gonna make Billy mad and that’s a problem bc… Billy’s calmer now. At least, he’s getting calmer. And the only things that would make Billy really mad are things that are serious and if something serious happened he needs to fucking know.
He forgoes helping Jonathan with the dishes to follow Max down the hall.
“Max!” El yells, wrapping Max in a hug and pulling her into her room in a flurry of giggles.
“Max is here?” Hop calls from the front door, where he’s shucking off his coat and hanging his hat.
“Yeah, I dunno why though.”
“Does there have to be a reason?” Hop asks on a chuckle, heading over to Joyce to give her a kiss.
Billy shrugs, looking down the hall unamused.
“Something’s wrong. She skated here in the dark.”
“Wait a second, she skated here?” Joyce asks, pulling away from Hop to give Billy a serious look.
“Her board’s in the corner.” Billy nods over to it. “And she left in the middle of dinner.”
Hop looks confused.
“Dinner is always at 6:30. On the dot.” He nods to the clock, which shows it’s barely 7. “Why’d she leave in the middle of dinner?”
Joyce gives Hop a serious look, prompting him to call the girls in. They come running in a flurry of little feet and humming.
“What’s up kid? Something wrong?” Hop asks seriously.
Max’s brow furrows.
“No. Nothing’s wrong.” Her energy falls. Billy sees it; crosses his arms.
“Sure about that?”
Max hits him with a glare, but it falters. She’s guilty- she’s never been able to keep her glare when she’s guilty.
She nods through a pout. Billy sits in his other hip.
“Really?” Billy asks again. “Because we made a promise when I moved out. You’re not breaking it, are you?”
He leans down a bit to look her more square in the eyes. He can see it- she’s nervous.
When Billy left he made her promise, absolutely promise, that if Neil did anything to her, she’d tell him and he’d get Neil put in jail. (“I’m living with the Chief of Police now.” He had said, swiping at a tear on Max’s red-with-anger cheek. She had swatted his hand away.)
“No it’s fine.” Max says, growling just a bit before pulling El with her to the dinner table to set out the plates.
Joyce looks nervous, Hop exhausted, Billy frustrated to high hell as he watches Max work to get the seat next to him.
And dinner is normal- pleasant even. It usually is with Max. Everyone in the house likes her. She’s funny and she has good manners and she’s good company.
But then-
There’s a knock at the door.
Billy pushes his chair back to get it, being the closest to the door.
“Wait!” Max calls, worry in her eyes that settles a pit in Billy’s stomach.
“What?”
“Uh… don’t. You shouldn’t-”
“It’s fine, sweetie, it’s just the door.” Joyce assures as Billy heads over, each step feeling like he’s walking to his grave for some undefinable reason. He reaches for the handle with some kind of strange worry in his heart, like he already knows who’s on the other side. He thinks he might. He thinks-
He swings the door open to find a man with a square jaw and a heavy brow.
“William.”
Billy’s heart lurches. It takes all of his strength to stand still, pissed as hell to see this man at the front door of his new home. He squares his shoulders, ready to tell the man to leave and shut the door on his face when-
Neil takes a heavy step forward, buttoning the intimidating gesture up with a crack of his right knuckles and Billy-
Billy’s scared. He takes a step back and feels his face flush red with embarrassment that he may never be able to stand up to this stupid man.
Heavier footsteps tell him Hop is coming up behind him.
“Hargrove.” Hop rumbles, putting a large, warm hand on Billy’s shoulder to pull him back behind him. Neil doesn’t let his eyes off Billy until he has to. Billy takes a few steps away, heart racing in anger and fear and embarrassment and anger goddamnit anger.
Joyce rubs his back and pushes him gently towards the dining room where Max is curled up in El’s embrace before she runs to Billy.
“I’m sorry Billy I’m sorry I tried to tell you not to go to the door I didn’t…” She hiccups, dry heaving. “I didn’t think he’d come here I- I…”
Billy pulls her in hard, crushing her in a hug to get rid of all of this feeling bubbling up inside of him.
“You brat.” He mumbles, hitting her shoulder slightly harder than friendly. “I told you to tell me.” He pulls her away by her shoulders and bends down to look at her. “Now what happened.”
Her face is switching back and forth from fear to anger to sadness and back again.
“He… he told me I couldn’t come here anymore. He said he didn’t want me seeing you because…. And… fuck him.” She buries her head in his chest again. El and Will come to her side, hugging her from behind to try to soak up the sadness and all the anxiety.
And over by the front door is an angry Neil standing in front of an even angrier Hop and Joyce, Jonathan standing in the doorway to the dining room to make sure the kids and Billy don’t come out or even see the man standing at the entrance to their house. He’s livid inside, seeing Billy’s father but hearing his own.
“You’re not welcome here.” Hop growls, arms crossed, looking big.
Neil chuckles something menacing.
“I’m just looking for my daughter. Do you know where she is?”
Joyce is boiling, ready to strike.
“She’s safe.” Hop assures.
“That’s not what I asked.”
Joyce is going to punch somebody. Hop takes a step forward, pushing Neil back out of the doorway.
“She’s safe. That’s all you should be asking.”
“I don’t want her here. Is she here.”
“Look.” Hop growls, stepping forward again, Joyce joining him at his side. “That little girl is like family to us, and if something happens to her or she feels unsafe for any reason, then I can guarantee I’ll be the first to know. I’m the Chief of Police, and being Chief of Police and living here my whole life, I have a lot of knowledge that I like to use. Like laws… regulations… good places to hide bodies.”
Jonathan chuckles quietly from his spot in the doorway.
Neil is shrinking, jaw set in something that’s probably supposed to be intimidating but looks more like a child.
“Do you understand me?”
Neil is red with anger.
“She’s my responsibility.” He grumbles and that’s what breaks Joyce.
“Then act responsible! And acting responsible means taking care of kids, not scaring them away or treating them like objects! That little girl is a good kid and so is that boy you tormented for years and you don’t deserve either of them! So until you don’t stop acting like a jackass and start acting like a good, responsible parent, that child is going to want nothing to do with you! And I swear, if you so much as lay a finger on her head or that boy’s head you’re going to wish Hop had got to you first after I’m done with you!”
Joyce is shaking with fury, glaring up into the square face of a man who looks more scared than he does irritated now. He sends a glare to Hop, who reaches down onto his belt to finger at the pocketknife he always keeps attached to his belt, and turns around to get in his car and head back home.
Hop shuts the door loudly as Neil drives off, him and Joyce out of breath from their anger.
They turn to see Jonathan with a proud look on his face.
“Fuck that guy.” He says, and earns a stern finger in his face for it.
“Language!” Joyce chastises him.
Jonathan chuckles and throws his hands into the air in defeat. “Sorry mom.”
And Max is allowed to stay, sticking by Billy’s side for most of the night as the family watches TV and eats dessert. And Joyce hugs Max real big and loudly, telling her she’s always so happy to have her here. She hugs Billy a little later, more subtly and quietly, telling him she’s glad to share a home with him. Billy’s heart falters as he hugs back.

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the ask box of the last 10 people who reblogged something from you (if you want !! 💛💖)
Wow I rambled a lot with this but i can't add cuts bc I'm on mobile rn DHSISHSJ sorry :"))))
.
.
1. Ik Ik "haha how cringe are you" of me to say, but honestly? Homestuck. Homestuck helped me in a time of need and when i so desperately wanted something to latch onto. Finally, I caved into my friends telling me to read it-- and it's been a blast!! The epilogues / hs^2 make me feel kinda sad though, because so much of what I loved about the original was yeeted through the nine circles of hell and into the trash. I love Y/ffany's (I call her Yippi tho) design, the art is really pretty at times, Harry is a major dork, I LIVE for seeing Vrissy bc honestly?? Her design is 10/10, very early 2000s emo style and I also live for that. Tavros is cute and a nerd and I think that's swell!
But in terms of story and how any of this happens, it makes me sad to see it happen. If Vriska could return as Vrissy, why not OTHER beta trolls? Where's my Eridan fish man, writers?? Give me the boy or perish by my fury.
2. Also super "haha how cringe are you" but,,, murder cats (Warriors), esp the early 2005-2015 amvs and stuff. I remember watching Flightfootwarrior's "I Will Not Bow" Scourge amv for HOurs and having no clue what was happening, but all these edgy kitties were KITTIES! It's introduced me to a lot of music I still listen to to this very day (Imagine Dragons, Young/the entirety of Hollywood Undead, Breaking Benjamin). And yknow what?? This new arc is absolute chaos, but in the good way.
I'm an "OG Fan". I prefer the first arc, The Prophecies Begin, to almost any of the other arcs. I just could never get into the other arcs-- not to say I haven't read them, I HAVE and the Fire Scene was probably one of my favorite moments beside grumpy Jaypaw, god complex Lionblaze, and fear the gods Hollypaw. I thought the build-up for it was SUPER satisfying. Gray Wing is my baby and I fully embellish in the Gray Wing is Silverpelt theory.
This new arc is definitely something new for the universe. While I didn't read aVoS (but I may do that if i can find the files for it), and so I don't know the major events of it other than what I've seen M.A.P.'s (Multi-Animator Projects, for clarification,,, bc unfortunately that term is also something disgusting). There's fucking cat possession and all the Clans questioning their belief system, yo. Shit be on fire.
Also the Imposter is 100% Ashfur, that's canon now, yeah??? Also im sorry but fuck Root x Bristle that's the dumbest shit I have ever seen. Give me Root x Shadow or face the wrath of my dragon plushies.
RiverClan is my Clan and my gov assigned warrior name is Fireshell 🌟🌟
3. As much as I hate the author,,,,, Harry Potter. It's been a major part of my life for as long as I can remember. I can never really remember why, but I've always just loved it- the movies, the books, the extra little merch that would pop up in my local Walmart. Of course my favorite character is Draco Malfoy. I could go on and on and ON about how I think his character arc was SHIT and JKR didn't have the balls to make him a confident gay man that was always implied through the text (at least, my lesbian ass thought it was implied but i may just be projecting, idk). I could ramble about Draco for HOURS and what I think his character SHOULD have been and how his parents are horrible (more specifically, Lucius bc Narcissa [?] Actually showed a few good moments), and a child should never have to pay for their parents sins.
Oh noo, Draco's a villain because he's a victim of major abuse and peer pressure? He's a villain because a literal child can be horrible and they'll always always always stay as a horrible little fiend?? Fuck that. He's a child.
Unlike manchild grease pan Snape, who was a racist piece of shit and shouldn't have became a fucking school teacher but it's okay because he was ~~~in love~~~. No, fuck you, he was a creep. James Potter n Co may have been a little posh bitch to you, Snape, but that's no fucking excuse to continue to bluntly be a little cunt all the way into adulthood. You're an adult who flatly changed your PATRONUS to imitate Lily's. You have no excuse. And Harry went and named his child after you LIKE JESUS CHRIST, DID RON'S SISTER NOT HAVE A SAY IN THE NAMES TOO?????
I also fully adore the idea that Muggles can run into Hogwarts and their patronus can 100% be a made up, fantasy creature. Imagine you learn the patronus spell and suddenly fucking ARCEUS comes from your wand. Imagine learning the spell and CHTULU (i did not spell that right but im so tired) comes from your wand-- an entire ass fucking Lovecraftian, Eldrith horror is just the embodiment of you. What if it was a fucking Homestuck character like Vriska? How fucking METAL would that be?? Hskajssowjjsjs get on it fandom.
4. Hee hee very evident by my url but Pokemon is another major thing of mine. While vespiquen isn't my favorite (that title goes to Hydreigon), it is definitely up there!
I've ALWAYS enjoyed the idea of Pokemon. You run around, training up these fight monsters and collecting them. I remember playing my sister's Ruby version on her flip-up Gameboy. I couldn't even read but I ran around catching god only knows how many of the same pokemon wherever she was. Apparently, I had fought for hours in the same area and leveled her Blaziken up to lvl 50 something and left her lvl 30s in the dust LMAO.
I got my first game when it was Pearl/Diamond. It was Pearl, and it still holds a very fond place in my heart. I could barely read, I could barely write-- I had named my Turtwig something along the lines of "MmorpHy" and my player boy "ZbsibJ". Yes I remember the names slightly. I really didn't get far-- I barely got to the first gym but I was just so happy to play it.
I eventually lost the game, as a 5 year old would do, but I can still vividly remember what was happening when the game arrived. I had just came back from the dentist and was quite tired from fighting the dentist bc I was super scared. Mom suddenly handed me a box and said it was mine-- my overseas (at that time) dad had bought me Pearl and my sister Diamond, because I lost my shit about it when he visited one time.
Well, tdlr, I played it for about five minutes while struggling to stay awake against the loopy gas they made me take. I fell asleep listening to Twinleaf Town's soundtrack. Every time I play a rom of Pearl and I get to where the player's house fades in and I hear that first tune of the song, I get a huge smile on my face and cry-- as.. Weird as it sounds.
A few years later, I had gotten Pokemon Black bc I liked Reshiram on the cover. Now, this one I could actually READ when playing, but I don't remember a lot of things about it. I probably lost this one too, as a 8/9 year old would do. I DO remember, I chose Snivy and my sister chose Tepig (hrmm there's a theme here of grass/fire goin on......) and vibing to the music. I was so amazed by the sprites moving, I just kept getting into encounters to see the sprites move (oh boy, no one tell younger 7-9 y/o me about Zelda......oh wait....)
Playing Pokemon NOW, as a 17 year old """gifted""" chick, I stil have very fond memories. I recently beat Pokemon Black again and GOD the OTS SLAPS. I fucking adore the soundtrack-- the track that plays when you battle a trainer, the low health dings being turned into a legit song that also slaps, the battle! gym leader themes-- and oh my gOd, the legendary theme is amazing? It really tells you just how glorious these pokemon are supposed to be. It's not intimidating like Groudon/Kyroge/Rayquaza's themes. It's not action packed like Palkia/Dialga's is, it's not filled with tension like Giratina/Arceus's is-- but it radiates the GLORY that the beasts portray. And I live for that. (Also, Kyurem's version is my favorite because it glitches in the beginning and that's rly cool)
P/D/P and BW/BW2's stories, imo, are some of the greatest ones. Yeahhh, US/USUM's is cool and I haven't played XY nor SwSh-- but the ones I can find memorable are PDP and BW/BW2. I love N. I love Barry. They're my sons. Ghetsis is fucking terrifying, Cyrus needs a hug. Giratina scared the piss out of me when I was younger, which was NOT helped by Giratina and The Sky Warrior.
I think my favorite movies are the gen 4 ones. The Rise of Darkrai having a tear-jerking theme for such a mysterious pokemon (i still tear up when i hear Ocarion), Giratina being spiteful is a mood and Shaymin was cute, Arceus being angry is also a mood. Yeah, Pokemon 4Ever made me cry my eyes out over Celebi, Mewtwo Returns made me again cry because Mewtwo accepting who he is, I remember how vastly different the BW movies are-
I just. I have a lot of memories with the series, even if Gamefreak and Nintendo kinda do the series dirty a lot (your top-grossing thing and you made That monstrosity for the Switch? How dare you.). It's comforting to be stressed and pull up my roms for the games and to play them. Mystery Dungeon is incredibly fun to play, Pokemon Ranger is really fun with the concept (Shadows of Almia continues to kick my ass to this very day and FUCK the Jungle Relic, I hate the Water Challenge fucking gyarados bullshit). I remember the pokemon I got for MD (I got Time, my sis got Darkness) was Mudkip, if that is any help.
I love my little fictional pixel monsters.
5. Yup, someone told tiny 7-9 y/o me about console games. The legend of Zelda. My first Zelda game was Twilight Princess on the Wii and BOY did I play the fucking SHIT out of that game.
Honestly, looking back and looking at playthroughs now-- I still love TP. Twilight Princess is still one of my top favorite Zelda games-- yes, even after playing OoT, Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Skyward Sword, the anniversary four swords edition for the DS where you could play by yourself (Nintendo pls bring that back, I don't have friends to play it with ;-;), Phantom Hourglass- ect.
Something about Twilight Princess grabbed me by the head and yeeted me into the world. I can remember playing it for hours with little to no breaks. I, a tiny 9 y/o, had gotten the hang of the controllers and managed to get past the tutorial quite easily. And then, I was launched into the game and I wasn't stopping for NOTHING. Mom and Dad would have to force me to save and get off to go and eat dinner. THAT sucked.
I had done everything on my own up until the first temple, the forest temple. Not where/when you saved the dumb kid, but when you were saving the spirit's light. Theeeeeeennn I got stuck on the fucking Forest Temple for deadass six months straight. I'd play for hours, running around in circles, unable to figure out where to go, and because I didn't grasp the temple's purpose of being that way- I'd get angry and get off. It wasn't until dad looked up a walkthrough and talked me through what I was supposed to do that I learned how to get through temples.
I had gotten to the last little fight with Ganondorf before the Wii broke and i could no longer play. Despite the Wii being broke and we got rid of it, I was ADAMANT on keeping the game, and I kept that game for YEARS. It was an original copy out of a sealed box, and I eventually lost it when I left it accidentally at my now ex-friend's house.
She had a Wii and I went "hey I have a Wii game!" And I brought my Zelda over. Worst fucking choice of my goddamn life. Mom called me to come home and said I couldn't sleep over like the original plan was, and that was it. My ex-friend stashed my Zelda and I never saw it again. And, even if I wanted to-- I couldn't get it back, which makes me upset. We had a BAD falling out. She likely doesn't even remember it's there, or sold it to the local game junkie kid who buys ALL games.
But I still love the game. Midna was amazing, and I loved how snarky she was and she has a very cute design! The game's OST is fucking phenomenal. Midna's Desperate Hour makes me cry bc goddamn it really sells how serious that situation is. I love Hyrule Field's theme in this game. I love the Twilight Realm's song. Zant was fucking hilariously scary. Ganondorf's design in this game scared the piss out of me when I was younger.
Midna and this game's Link and Zelda are def my favorites. Yeah yeah, Sheik is cool and all I Guess but dhsushwishs Midna holds the special place in my heart. She was totally my gay awakening BUT
For other game antagonists, I adore Ghirahim-- let's go you funky little queer-coded villain. Skull Kid was great, I love the entire dynamic of him. Prankster lost soul stumbles upon Majora's Mask and the mask makes him act out due to powers-- which, I actually took very heavy inspiration from for one of my OCs. The moon falling to Hyrule was a fucking terrifying looming threat.
But the game series holds a place, and I've yet to be able to play BoTW-- although, I'm fairly certain I'll like it. The playthroughs I've watched of it are all fairly decent! I just. Gotta save up enough money to buy it haha.
Dang guess I gotta go watch a Twilight Princess playthrough again.
Honorable Mentions:
Avatar: the Last Airbender, specifically Book 3
my OCs definitely make me happy, they're my children and I'd ramble A LOT longer if given the chance WHEEZE
My friends, but I didn't add them here bc it's more fictional stuff, I presume
Baking. I love to bake cupcakes.
Painting is fun. I'm an artist and goddammit im going to use painting as an excuse to make a mess.
Fire. I rly like fire, down to a pyromaniac level. However, i hate the fires that happened to my home town, the Great Smokey Fires of 2016-- THAT pissed me off. How dare you burn mountain landscapes to the ground. Perish.
History. I'm a history nerd.
I'm also a science nerd.
But fuck math, I cannot comprehend math to save my life.
For some reason, I rly like learning how the human body works??? like did you know, organs are actually sticky when touched by a bare hand?? Did you?? How fucking cool is that.
Bakugan. I love Bakugan, esp the DS game. I love my Darkus Leonidas. Give me back the online world, you peasants-- I want my Darkus Dragonoid. (Also fuck all my friends from when I was in kindergarten- my theory that Alice was Masquerade was somewhat correct.)

“So Happy Together” Analysis
i don’t sleep
tl;dr: tbh not much to go off on about. i think we see a new skin for Iron Bear, one with some stripes. amara smiles, i do talk a little bit about little sisters in bioshock but tbh i think this was all just a stylistic choice lol. oh and handsome jack’s masks- probably Mount Jackmore. i don’t want to get to freaked out over jack returning, but damn gearbox lol u had me there for a second. im pretty sure it’s just a reused cut quest from bl2 that they never got to implement. 
EDIT: here’s all the cut content in bl2 (plus all the non-cut content as well for funsies). you can go to the cut quests and see the audio files for claptrap’s jackmore quest
holy shit can i just vomit all my emotions rn, they’re all good so imma do that so im rational when i start analyzing stuff okay? okay! 
holy shit that was fucking great and im really glad i tempered my expectations to something smaller than i thought because i feel bad for people expecting something huge, i was under the assumption we’d be getting a new mechanic that was like ‘choose ur +1 and they’ll be able to play the game with you if you’re both online even if they don’t have the game’ which was what someone said on reddit. altho im sure the poor company is gonna get spammed now with hate like ‘WTF YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE BUILT THIS UP AAAA’. not to lie, i was slightly disappointed it wasn’t a longer stream, but i mean if they’ve got nothing to announce, they’ve got nothing to announce and HEY! new trailer!!! gonna be combing thru on the assumption this has some easter eggs like the MoM trailer did, just in case. i thought it was a cute trailer, gearbox never explicitly said what it was gonna be, a lot people all just assumed what was gonna happen was a demo/beta which sucks so i hope this doesn’t negatively impact people’s perspective of the game. im staying off reddit for now bc when i first checked it people were pretty pissed and i dun need that negativity lmao
okay! emotions are LOCKED behind closed doors. i am shifting into study mode. here we go boys/girls/those of us who know better. haven’t done one of these in a while, let’s see if im rusty at all.
Tumblr media
claptrap! and the skull on the chair which reminds me of tyreen’s “favorite skull”. 
Tumblr media
tv says “we are under attack, please stand by”
and afaik claptrap is near the beginning of the game, you can see part of the recruitment center behind him when the camera pans.
im thinking there might be something in the roses, specifically the hand-drawn roses later on in the trailer. will be keeping an eye open for that.
Tumblr media
this is specifically a jakobs brand chest. i really like the see-through aesthetic of it
Tumblr media
intro area of the game again. possible hint to the opening cutscene? tbh i was worried that’s what we were about to get because i haven’t finished the roughs of my mock up lol
so what i didn’t notice my first time through is that you can then see claptrap, also being shown in the chest
Tumblr media
waving up at the camera. that’s not trippy at all or anything lol
Tumblr media
this car in the foreground (with no one driving it, mind you)
Tumblr media
randomly combusts, looking quite like elpis in that one shot of the claptrap presents pandora trailer. wonder if that means it’s gonna ‘splode.
Tumblr media
ohhh it spins. please no spin imma get motion sick blech
shot of some cultists. one appears to have a jetpack near the bottom right there
Tumblr media
another explosion to the beat
Tumblr media
the shock wave!!!! that’s awesome
Tumblr media
shock nomads cultists are back. f in chat for our shields
Tumblr media
another cultist seconds before he gets blown to bits
it cuts to black for a secco as it moves thru said explosion
Tumblr media
another cultist, i assume a psycho
Tumblr media
finally some good fucking angles
Tumblr media
heh.
idk what i expected from someone who’s first action skill line i ever heard was them shouting MAGIC WALL!!! TAAAADAAAAAAAAH
as a side note
who is shooting those lasers
Tumblr media Tumblr media
we see them coming from behind the VHs, but
Tumblr media
there’s nothing there
SPOOKY~
Tumblr media
they’re coming from... the wall???
Tumblr media
tfw u shot urself in the foot on accident
Tumblr media
amara is not amused
Tumblr media
`is this some human custom i don’t understand yet`
also i hate that i’ve done this exact dance before when i took dance classes as a kid
Tumblr media
with less style of course, i was like 7
Tumblr media
moze is into it, hell yeah
Tumblr media
this reminds me a lot of Kingsman. where all the blood is like fireworks and stuff. i wonder if that has anything to do with the psycho brainwashing. like little sisters in bioshock. they see roses instead of blood, right? maybe there’s something like that going on with the psychos
i’d certainly hope our vault hunters aren’t brainwashed, anyway.
Tumblr media
this dude looking SHOCKED to see that tho, lmfao
Tumblr media
i relate to this man on a spiritual level i stg
Tumblr media
man he looks pissed
Tumblr media
omfg lol
Tumblr media
“um”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“i guess this is okay”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
the body language in this is gold i am just having the time of my life
Tumblr media Tumblr media
adsfdgfhgjhgfk
Tumblr media
this is so cute
Tumblr media
also in retrospect, i think this is one of the turrets we see on promethea. i wonder what it’s doing here!
Tumblr media
moze u ok?
oh nvm she’s into it, look at her! she’s dancing! She’s Dancin’!
Tumblr media
oooo one of the robots from the we are mayhem trailer! okay you can totally see why i think they’re jakobs, RIGHT???
Tumblr media
iirc this is a maliwan soldier
man this is a crossover event, isn’t it?
i get it now. togetherness. i gotchu gearbox.
Tumblr media
some maliwan ships in the sky. possibly sanc-iii on the right? or a ship of the same model as sanc-iii!
Tumblr media
this is a magitek dropship, change my mind
eh, they both start with M, fuck it.
Tumblr media
no idea what fl4k is doing here
Tumblr media
mayyyybe shielding themselves from the ‘firework’/confetti shower
Tumblr media
i like that the confetti explosions are backed up by purple, you know like eridium/slag/siren powers. seriously, maybe this is just how to cultists see us Vault Hunters and the mass murder.
at the very least, the psychos.

Tumblr media
AND the chests are vomiting out gold guns, which i think, gold-plated gear, is the cult’s way of signifying standing. which im sure is a tongue-in-cheek commentary as gearbox gives out a gold weapon pack as a pre-order bonus. no, like, it even shows up as an ad on the video

Tumblr media
pret-ty sure that’s iron bear. moze is standing atop the tower lmao
also! back to it’s old paint scheme. looks like moze was using a skin or smth
Tumblr media
we also have this. are my eyes failing me or is that a big cross on the left? could be where jack was buried. 
also i know there was cut content in bl2 about Mount Jackmore! and this looks like a Mount Jackmore to me. it’s a cut quest where claptrap asks you to basically ruin the thing. but since the quest was cut, it’s still here in bl3. maybe they’ll reintegrate the quest lol
i can’t imagine it being roland’s gravesite. because it looks like the below.
Tumblr media
i do know we’re going to roland’s grave in bl3, but the statues don’t really match up. maybe it is and the statues were broken, or ruined or something and replaced by a cross. could be then that the gravesite was defaced with, well, the guy that killed him. 
im really hoping jack doesn’t make a return. im fine with dealing with what he set in motion, and his influence, and probably even some ECHO logs and movie trailers, but please, for the love of god, don’t actually bring him back, AI or otherwise. im really excited for the calypso twins, i’d really hate to see the focus shift back to that guy. he’s had his fingers in every borderlands game. it’s time to let him go.
Tumblr media
idk what this is exactly. it looks like maybe that weird eye bot troy stands next to in the intro for the behind closed doors panel?
Tumblr media
goodbye mr magical jakobs chest, it’s been real
the RC now has red drapes going down it. have those always been there? i don’t remember those
Tumblr media Tumblr media
hmmmmmmmmm maybe we’re looking at it from the back 🤔
anyway, that’s all she wrote. i haven’t see any hidden morse code messages or anything yet, but if something surfaces, i’ll be sure to add it here.

Byrock Lake Summer Camp
its time for another rosawatts fic, i guess. lol. 
Tumblr media
thank you anon for sending this in!! i was excited to use these emojis bc theyre actually MY favorite emojis!! however. this fic probably isn’t what you were expecting like. at all. lol it was the only way i could think to connect these emojis!! this could also be considered a ‘platonic’ rosawatts fic technically? bc theres nothing romantic in this fic just btw
also just an fyi for this fic- people named charlie and traci are mentioned in it! traci is eva’s canon sister (who i headcanon as older than her) and charlie is eva’s twin sister who i like... completely made up. charlie isn’t canon lol. just lettin yall know. (she’s also in another one of my fics)
one last thing! this fic is a little more than 5k words, and word counter says it should take about 20 minutes to read so you should probably settle in if you do plan on reading it. anyway thanks for reading this mess until here lmao
It had been a very hot and humid summer at Byrock Lake Summer Camp. It wasn’t even summer yet, per say, since it was only nearing the beginning of June, but it was reaching the point of the year where it’s temperatures are the highest ever. It’s located in such a place that makes it feel like summer weather even if you’re visiting in the middle of December.
Summer heat brought all the other summer related consequences along with it. Sunburns, headaches, along with lots and lots of bugs. Spiders ran rampant along the grounds, setting up camp in almost any corner they could get too. Fire ants nests were found almost everywhere along the grounds, barely five feet apart from each other. Mosquitoes seemed to appear almost out of nowhere, completely destroying anyone who had forgotten to put on bug spray. The smell of bug repellent was abundant everywhere you stepped in an attempt to try to get all of the insects under control.
Byrock Lake, at the very least, had semi-decent cabins. They looked like log houses, except a lot smaller, and each group’s cabins were all located within ten feet of each other. The boys’ cabins were at the top of the hill; the girls’ nearer the bottom. These cabins also had no means of modern air conditioning, all that was used were old fans that made so much noise that there’s no way anyone could fall asleep with them on.
This is where thirteen year old Eva Rosalene and Neil Watts were going to spend two weeks of their precious summer vacation.
The reason that they had been sent to this summer camp together was mostly for a band get together. Every year, their school’s band director tries to get the entire band group on some sort of excursion together so that they could all spend some more time together, and get to know each other better outside of school. The band director, along with the school, always chooses one of the cheapest summer camps to send all the kids to so that they could pay it all off immediately. The parents don’t have to pay any money to send their children on these trips, so there’s virtually no reason for the parents to not send their kids.
On the entire three hour bus ride to Byrock Lake, Neil had barely taken a second to breathe in between his sentences, complaining about their destination.
“I mean, Eva, come on! How can you be even slightly optimistic about this place? It’s going to be hot and sweaty and so gross! For two weeks! That’s, like, basically an eternity!”
Neil, sitting on the side closest to the aisle in the seat he’s sharing with Eva, has turned his body sideways to face Eva head on as he complains to her. Eva stays quiet, politely listening to her friend go on and on about this summer camp.
When Neil finishes this last sentence, he huffs loudly and crosses his arms, still facing Eva. She looks at him blankly, not giving the thick-glassed boy next to her the reaction he’s looking for. “How do you even know this place is going to be bad? You haven’t even seen it yet.” Neil looks at Eva incredulously after she says this. “Eva, really? Have you not heard about past band members talking about this place? It’s horrible! There’s bugs everywhere.” He says this last one with his arms waving around, trying emphasize the word everywhere.
Eva rolls her eyes at Neil. “Then wear bug spray.”
Neil ignores this comment, and continues. “They don’t even allow electronics! Can you believe that? How are we supposed to have any kind of fun without video games?” He turns to the side, pouting and crossing his arms again. Eva raises an eyebrow at him. “Wait, I thought you told me you brought your GameBoy along with-” she says, before she’s quickly cut off by Neil shushing her loudly and placing one of his hands over her mouth. Eva lowers her eyebrows, glaring at him. Neil takes his hand away when he knows she’s done talking.
He leans in closer to her, speaking in a half whisper. “Are you kidding me, Eva? You can’t announce that! There’s teachers sitting at the front of this bus! I don’t want this to get taken from me. Not again. My parents would be pissed.”
Eva half smiles, thinking about the last time he got his GameBoy taken away from him. He had brought it into class one day, aiming to play it while they were taking a test, and asked Eva to ‘cover for him’. She just rolled her eyes and didn’t say anything when the teacher started making her way towards Neil. It got taken away for almost a week.
She moves past the fact that Neil has attempted to smuggle his GameBoy into their summer camp get together, and starts trying to encourage Neil. “Well, I don’t think it’ll be all that bad. Besides, my mom said that it would be fun.”
Neil glances over at her. “How does she know?”
“What?”
“Did Traci and Charlie go?”
Eva looks at Neil with a look of confusion. “Neil, if Charlie went, she’d be on this bus right now. We’re in the same grade. Also, she’s not even in band. Why in the world would she be on this trip with us?”
Neil ignores Eva’s quips at him. “Well then, how about Traci?”
“I think this whole thing was started after Traci left middle school, so… no.”
Neil sighs loudly, and slumps himself down in his chair. “Then your mom lied to you.”
“Don’t call my mom a liar!”
“Besides, my parents didn’t bother to entice this summer camp to me. They knew it wasn’t going to be that great- they just signed me up for it and shipped me off.” Neil looks down at his feet. “I think my dad just wanted me out of the house.”
Eva looks at him, not knowing what to say next. Neil’s home life had always been a touchy subject with him. Anytime she’d try to bring it up, Neil would immediately shut down or try to change the subject with a joke. She never knew what to say when he brought it up.
They sit in silence for a few minutes, Neil still slumped in his seat, looking at his feet, and Eva had busied herself looking out the window. The dark green trees outside had gotten more and more abundant, and the amount of commercial buildings outside had decreased. It was obvious that they were getting closer to wherever this summer camp was.
“We don’t even get to go swimming.”
Eva looks over at Neil in surprise, not having expected him to start up a conversation again. He’s still looking at the ground.
“Well, this place is called Byrock Lake. It literally has the name lake in the title, and we don’t even get to swim in it?” Neil glances up at Eva, as he starts going on another tangent. “I mean, I think it’s the least that they could do. It’s going to be way too hot there.”
Eva smiles, glad he’s back to his normal self, not dwelling on his life at home. “Maybe you could sneak into the lake to go swimming. I wouldn’t put it past you.”
Neil looks at Eva, and smiles. “Yeah, maybe I will.”
She looks taken aback at Neil’s response. “Neil, I was- I’m joking. Don’t do that. You could get kicked out.”
Neil rolled his eyes. “Oh no, I could get kicked out? Of this lousy summer camp which is one of the last places I want to be this summer? Oh, how horrible. I can’t even imagine.”
Eva was about to say something about how angry his parents might get if they got a call saying that Neil had gotten kicked out of Byrock Lake Summer Camp for trying to swim in the lake, but decided against it. She didn’t want to bring up his parents for no reason. She decides to just elbow Neil for his sarcasm, and Neil laughs.
A teacher at the front of the bus stands up, and all the kids instantly go quiet, including Neil. As much as he might talk about breaking the rules, he’s too straight laced to ever actually do it. As all the students direct their attention at the teacher, he starts talking.
“Alright, kids, we are approaching Byrock Lake Summer Camp. Please make sure to exit the bus as quickly as possible, and grab all of your belongings from your compartments. The school is not responsible for any items lost because you left it on the bus. As soon as we are all ready to go, your group leaders will take you to your cabins so you all can set up. Feel free to ask your group leaders for instructions afterwards.” He takes a quick scan over all the students once he had finished, and then turns around to sit in his seat again. All the kids start talking again, and Neil groans in his seat.
“Man, I can’t believe I got Mr. Castells as my group leader,” Neil pouts, talking about the scary-looking man who had talked just a few seconds ago. “You got Mrs. Noel! You are so lucky, Eva. She’s so nice. I wish I had gotten her.”
“Well, I don’t think it would make any sense for a girl group leader to stay with the boys.”
“Eva, I wasn’t being serious.” He says, turning around again to face her. “I just meant… man, I wish I had gotten anyone but Mr. Castells.” Eva laughs. “Better not say that too loudly or he might hear you. You wouldn’t want him to take away your GameBoy, would you?”
“Eva! I told you to be quiet about that!” Neil says flusteredly, through clenched teeth, as Eva laughs.
The bus then quickly slams on the breaks and almost every kid hits their head on the seat in front of them. Neil, due to the fact he was sitting sideways, was slammed forward and fell into the tiny space in between his seat and the seat in front of him. Eva busted out laughing at seeing her friend stuck haphazardly in a small space. His face turned red from embarrassment, and quickly picked himself up out of the space as the other band members started leaving the bus, Eva still laughing at Neil’s mistake. Neil mumbles to her to knock it off, too embarrassed to say anything comprehensible to her.
“Alright, smooth guy, get a move on,” Eva manages to say in between fits of laughter. Neil quickly stands up, not looking at Eva, and they make their way off the bus, making sure to mumble a quick ‘thank you’ to the bus driver so that Mr. Castells doesn’t yell at them.
Once they get off and grab their duffel bags from under the bus, the bus driver quickly speeds off back onto the road, leaving all the kids behind. Neil sighs beside Eva. “Man, this is horrible already and I haven’t even been here for a minute yet.” He glances at Eva, and then spins around to follow the rest of the group. As Eva joins him, she can’t deny that she thinks he’s right. She can already feel herself start to get sweaty due to the immense heat in the area, and she can hear the cacophony of buzzing mosquitoes in the surrounding area.
“Oh, and another thing!” Neil angrily says to Eva, as she catches up and starts walking besides him. “The boy’s cabin is at the top of the hill! I have to lug this whole duffel bag up a hill, are you kidding me? You have it so easy. Your cabins are at the bottom of the hill.” Eva giggles at Neil’s exuberant manner of complaining. “Oh, get over it. I think you’re gonna be fine.”
“That’s what you think,” Neil says. He starts acting as though his bag is weighing down on him, and he’s struggling to carry it. “Oh, Eva, I don’t think… I can make it… this might be the end for me… this duffel bag is just way too heavy to carry up a hill…” Neil says, speaking as though he were a tired, old man, which makes Eva start laughing. Neil lights up when he sees that Eva finds his shenanigans funny. She turns to Neil, eyes twinkling. “Alright, old man, hurry up. I don’t want to get left behind by the group.”
Eva turns around and starts walking, smiling as she hears Neil yell, ‘Hey!’ behind her, and his footsteps running to catch up with her.
* * *
Sat down at one of the cheap tables the camp had bought for it’s barely air-conditioned dining area, Eva had been eating her dinner in a plastic tray, sat down with her other band friends. She kept quickly scanning the dining hall, wondering where her best friend had gone off to. She didn’t think that he’d just sit without her, but it was definitely worrying her as an option.
Her fears were quickly put to rest when she saw a quick movement to the left of her and the loud clack of a plastic tray being set down. She looked over, and saw Neil quickly taking a seat next to her. The other people at the table glanced over him, but quickly turned back to their own private conversation.
“Neil? Where were you? I was worried you sat down without me.”
He turns to look at Eva and puts on his mushiest voice that he can muster. “Aww, Evie, did you miss me? How sweet!” Eva immediately rolls her eyes. “Nevermind. I take that back. I wish you had sat somewhere else without me.” Neil fake pouts at Eva, which draws out a small smile from her. Neil, satisfied, moves the conversation forward.
“So… you don’t wanna know where I was?”
“I literally asked you where you were when you sat down.”
“Oh. Well, I wasn’t listening.” Eva sighs at him, and Neil continues. “I was playing my GameBoy!” He shows her his GameBoy discreetly under the table, where he was holding it, showing a Pokemon battle screen.
Eva looks at him with a deadpan face. “That’s really what you were doing instead of coming to the dining hall?”
“Yes, Eva,” he says, pressing the yes as though it was obvious that this was the most important thing in the world. “Anyway… I need to ask you something,” Neil says, as he shoves the GameBoy into one of his pant pockets. Eva looked at him cautiously. “Well, when you phrase it like that, I don’t know if I want you to ask it.” Neil waves his hand in a dismissive way in front of her face. “No! It’s nothing bad. It’s just… I want you to stay up kind of late in your cabin tonight. I wanna show you something.”
“That’s not a question.”
Neil lets out a drawn out groan. “God, Eva, just- will you stay up late in your cabin tonight for me? I would like to show you something.”
Eva smiles and crosses her arms confidently. “Thank you. And… I don’t know. Won’t you get caught? Because you’re sneaking out of your cabin, yeah?”
Neil rolls his eyes. “Pssh. I’m not scared of getting caught.” Eva glares at him with this obvious lie. Neil pretends like he didn’t see. “I’m not in the cabin with Mr. Castells, so I’m gonna be fine.” A whistle blares near the entrance to the dining area, and all the students look over to see their group leaders standing by the door. Mr. Castells starts waving the students over, and most of the kids start standing up to leave. Eva and Neil stand up with the rest of the kids, heading over to their respective leaders.
“Just, promise me you’ll be up, okay?” Neil says hurriedly, as he starts walking towards Mr. Castells.
“Uh, yeah, Neil, I’ll try,” Eva responds, and then turns around to get into the line in front of Mrs. Noel. She turns to the other line where Neil is, and he gives her a thumbs up before they start walking in different directions towards their cabins.
* * *
Sure enough, at around midnight, Eva hears a knocking on her cabin window. She quickly jumps, having just been starting to doze off. She was starting to think that Neil had been joking about meeting her at her cabin, or maybe he ended up chickening out. But sure enough, when she looked outside the window, she saw her thick-rimmed glassed, light brown haired friend staring at her through the other side. Eva stares at him, astonished. Neil simply waves back at her with a toothy grin. He then waves the universal gesture for ‘come forward’.
Eva leans closer towards the window, and Neil puts his head on his forehead and shakes his head, obviously sighing. He then leans towards the window and points to the direction of where the door is. Eva then understands- Neil was trying to get her to come outside.
She quickly throws on a jacket over her clothes- even though the days might be sweltering, the nights can feel like they’re freezing- and tiptoes outside as to not wake any of the others. Once she gets to the door with little to no noise, she makes her way to where Neil was standing. When he sees Eva, he cocks his head to the side. “Eva. You thought that gesture was ‘get closer’, and not ‘come outside’? Really?” Neil says, in a hushed whisper so that no one inside of the cabin can hear them. Eva looks downwards, embarrassed. “I didn’t know what you were trying to insinuate! You weren’t saying any words, it was kind of difficult for me!” Eva responds, in the same whisper as Neil. “Besides, I can always just go back into my cabin.” Neil’s eyes widen at this threat. “No no no! Don’t do that. Please, this is important to me.” Neil gives her puppy dog eyes when he says this, and Eva just laughs and rolls her eyes.
“Okay, show it to me.”
Neil looks at her, one eyebrow raised. “What?”
“You said you wanted to show me something. Where is it?”
“You’re going to have to follow me to come see it.”
“Wait, what?” Eva said, a little too loudly, which was quickly followed by a shush from Neil. Eva starts again, now in a whisper. “You don’t have it with you?”
Neil sighed. “It’s not really a thing I can just carry with me, Eva.”
“Okay, well how are we supposed to walk around in the dead of night?”
Neil flashed his toothy grin as he held up an incredibly bulky flashlight. “I came prepared. Come on, Eva. How’d you think I got down here?”
Eva gave up, and let Neil win the conversation. “Fine, okay. Lead the way.” Neil smiled at her, stepped onto the dirt road in front of the cabin, and once they were a safe distance away from the cluster of cabins, they turned on the flashlight.
* * *
The area they were walking seemed even darker than it would’ve been originally. The surrounding brush around them was so dense, and the trees around them so tall, that they could not even see the sky. There wasn’t even a star to light up where they were walking.
Eva started shivering next to Neil. “Are you sure you know where you’re going?”
“Absolutely positive,” Neil responds confidently. This does not help Eva’s fears in the slightest, as Neil has told her this multiple times in the course of their friendship, almost every time having him totally and utterly confused as to what he was actually doing.
Eva glances at him, not trusting him even a little bit, but finds Neil facing forward and marching towards their destination with an aura of confidence around him. Eva looks forward, too, doubting her earlier suspicions about Neil having no clue where he was leading them.
The two of them continue on their way, Neil still smiling, obviously excited for their end goal and Eva, next to him, shivering in the cold forest. Eva side eyes him as they make their way down this dirt trail, the only light source they have a small, bulky flashlight. She tries to start conversation, so that she doesn’t have to walk through a dark forest in dead silence.
“This place better be good,” Eva says, half joking, trying to get a reaction out of her friend. He chuckles and glances over at her.
“Oh, trust me, it’s pretty great.”
“Good enough to get caught and kicked out of a summer camp for?”
Even though Eva can’t quite make out Neil’s movements in the dark, she can assume that he rolled his eyes at her remark. “Eva, please, you need to stop worrying about that so much. I know your mom would have a hissy-fit, but I’m sure she’ll get over it eventually.” Eva thinks to herself that she wasn’t scared about her parent’s reactions, but Neil’s. He continues his train of thought. “Besides, we aren’t going to get caught. None of these counselors care enough to go out in the middle of the night to go catch some kids.”
“They’re camp leaders. Not counselors. They aren’t getting paid for this,” Eva says, stifling a yawn throughout her sentence.
“I think that just proves my point even further.”
Eva is about to say something else to Neil, trying to keep the conversation going, when she suddenly feels a drop-off and feels like she’s falling through space and time. She looks down and realizes that her foot had only gone down only a few inches than what she had expected. The air around her immediately seems to warm up, and it seems just a little bit lighter than the forest before. She looks around her and realizes that they have exited the forest.
“Hey Eva, watch out, there’s a drop off there,” Neil says with a monotone voice.
“Wow, thanks for the heads up. I really appreciate it,” she replies as Neil snickers.
Neil steps closer towards her, stepping down the drop off with no reaction, unlike Eva before him. “Alright, close your eyes.”
Eva spins around quickly. “What?”
“Just close your eyes!”
“I don’t think I trust you enough to do that.”
Neil sighs. “Eva, come on.”
“How am I going to walk through this place if my eyes are closed?”
“It’s dark enough already that I don’t think you closing your eyes will be much of a difference. Besides, I’ll guide you,” he says, finishing on a note of what felt like true sincerity to Eva. She gives up, sighing, and looks back at Neil. “Promise you won’t do anything bad?”
“Jeez, Eva, do you really not trust me that much?”
Eva glares at him until he answers the question.
“Fine, fine. I promise I won’t do anything weird. Does that make you feel better?”
“It does,” Eva says, smiling, and closes her eyes. She feels Neil grab her forearm. “Alright, I’m just gonna try to lead you. It won’t take that long.”
The next minute or so consists of Eva, blind, wandering through a dirt trail with only Neil to guide her. She trips over rocks and small branches multiple times, and Neil tries to convince her multiple times that this place will truly be great. Even though it didn’t take very long, it felt like an eternity to Eva who had to wander blindly.
“Okay, we’re almost there,” Neil said, still trying to calm Eva’s nerves about where they were headed. “It’s gonna be great. Just… step up a little bit.”
Eva follow’s Neil’s directions and kicks her foot up way high, and her foot hits something, which quickly causing an ‘OW!’ from Neil’s direction.
“Jesus, Eva, not that high! You just kicked my leg,” Neil yells, and it causes Eva to start laughing. “Christ. I’m gonna have a bruise there tomorrow.” Eva keeps laughing at Neil’s exaggerations. “Alright, Eva, this time, only put your foot like a couple inches in the air.”
Neil manages to get the blind Eva up onto the area that he was trying to get her to go. Instantly, Eva can feel the feeling of wood planks beneath her and the soft swaying of the area they were standing on. Eva smiles, taking a guess at where they were located.
Neil continues to grab her forearm, and leads her a couple steps forward, once stepping behind her and positioning her shoulders to face a certain way. Eva continues smiling. “Can I open my eyes now?” She hears footsteps moving beside her, and Neil answers, “Yeah, in just a second, hold on.” Eva looks over to where she expects Neil to be standing, her eyes still closed. “Do I get bonus points if I’m able to guess where we are?”
She hears Neil sigh, a ways behind her. “No. You don’t get bonus points. No guessing.” She hears a few more cautious footsteps, getting quieter, so she can assume Neil is walking away from her. “Okay, Eva, open your eyes!”
When she was finally able to open her eyes, she just expected to see Byrock Lake, but in the dark and she’d barely be able to make out the water. Only part of her prediction was correct.
Yes, she was standing on the pier to the infamous Byrock Lake, but it was so much better than she had imagined. In the sky, the stars were so bright that they looked lighthouses at the far end of the sky. There were more up there than she had ever seen in her entire life. The entire sky looked like someone had taken white paint, and splattered a dark black canvas with as many dots as they could manage. She could only see stars in the sky- the moon that day had been a new moon. Eva took a few moments just collecting in her brain the image of the beautiful starry sky, before she had looked down at the water.
Byrock Lake was reflecting everything that Eva had just seen in the sky. The water was pitch black, but the soft rippling of the water allowed it to easily reflect the starry sky. The stars in the water looked like they were moving and spinning around, like a galaxy over millions and millions of years. Eva gasps out loud and covers her mouth with her hands.
“Oh my god, Neil, this is…” she says, not finding a word to describe what she sees before her.”
“Pretty great, huh?” he says, walking up from behind and then taking his place to the left of her. “I knew that you would like it.” He looks over at Eva, who’s still entranced by all the beautiful stars in the sky and the ones that looked like they’re trapped in the water.
Eva takes off her long sleeved jacket- it had gotten warmer when they had exited the forest- and is left in her Byrock Lake Summer Camp t-shirt that all the students were directed to wear on their first day. Eva sets down her jacket, and makes her way closer to the edge of the pier, Neil still watching her movements. She kneels down at the edge of the wooden dock, and placed her hand on top of the water, touching the stars from above. The water feels warm as she plunges her hand into the lake. Her hand quickly seems to disappear, due to how black the water is, and more shining stars take the place of where her hand used to be.
Neil eventually walks over to where Eva is kneeling, and continues to stand as she looks into the dark abyss. “It looks like a liquid galaxy,” Eva says, moving her hand around in the water, disturbing the surrounding area of stars. Neil laughs. “Yeah, I guess that’s one way you could put it.” He continues to stare at Eva for a few minutes, before rolling up the hem of his pants and taking off his shoes, setting them on the dock. Eva looks up at him. “What are you doing?” she asks, but gets no response as Neil sits down at the edge of the dock, legs leaning off which go into the warm water. Neil puts his hands behind him, holding him up, saying nothing. Eva quickly realizes what he was doing, and does the same. Soon enough, they’re both sitting at the end of the dock, looking out on a sea of stars.
“How did you know about this place?” Eva asks, looking over to her left, still seeing Neil staring off into the distance. He smiles. “My grandpa took me here once.”
Eva stares at him, eyebrow raised. “On the whole bus ride up you were non-stop complaining about this place.” Neil laughs. “Yeah, well, when I went with my grandpa it was just us. I didn’t have to go along with a hundred kids that I barely know and eat sub-par food for two weeks.” Eva looks back at the water, internally agreeing with him.
“We always loved to go stargazing. We’d try to go to many different places to see a different view.” Neil laughs. “Well, the stars don’t look all that different, but the different environments surrounding you can always be a fun change.” Neil looks over at Eva, who is now the one still staring out onto the lake. “I sat on this dock for hours when I saw all of this. Amazing how much of the sky is covered up by pollution, huh?” Eva voices her agreement.
They sit there on the edge of the lake for a little while, Eva swinging her legs, messing with the ripples in the water, and Neil seeming perfectly content with not moving at all. Eventually, Neil speaks up, a smile on his face. “Hey, Eva?” She doesn’t look up at him, still to entranced by the sky above and in front of her. “Yeah?”
Before she even has a chance to fight back, she feels a pair of hands on her back, pushing her forward. “Wait, wait, wait- NEIL!” Eva yells quickly, just before she’s pushed tumbling into the lake in front of her. She quickly swims up back to the surface, wiping the wet hair out of her eyes and spitting out water that she accidentally inhaled. “NEIL WATTS, I SWEAR TO GOD-” Eva starts to yell, but when she looks up, she can see Neil setting down his glasses and backing up to the end of the dock. He starts running full speed towards the lake. Eva’s eyes widen.
“Neil, no, I swear, if you splash me I will-” Eva starts, but not before Neil yells excitedly, jumps off the end of the dock as far as he can, and splashes in only a few feet away from where Eva was swimming. Eva immediately wipes the hair out of her eyes again, and opens them to see Neil Watts swimming beside her, a wide toothy grin on his face and his hair, usually combed right down the middle, all swept back by the water.
“I hate you. So much,” Eva says through gritted teeth, glaring at Neil who was still smiling at her. “Oh, come on, Eva, that was fun!” He glances at her, a little worry showing on his face. “You’re not gonna get out, are you?” Eva smiles a little bit at how worried Neil got. “Well, the damage is already done, I guess,” she says, with a fake melodramaticism in her voice.
Neil looks at her, surprised by her answer, and grins widely.
Eva smiles back.

life is so hard for no damn reason lmao. i tried to fix my life and i moved out of my moms to better my life and now ASDKJADSFLFUCK man this sucks. my friend stays pissing me off. the one i live with of course. she constantly interrupts me. like every time i talk to her. she doesnt do it on purpose, i know that. but its so fucking annoying. even if im talking about something important. i told her just now that i realized a trigger i have and obviously it was a tense conversation and she just started talking about some random shit??? like bitch i am actively having an anxiety attack shut the fuck up. GOD DAMN i just want to scream and bitch slap her across the face. she also sucks her thumb? we’re 22. and i get that its a comfort thing. like i have stuffies that i cuddle with, but she does it in front of people. i dont know its weird. she chews with her mouth open a lot. now im just bitching and im not meaning too its just a lot. i only have two friends. and the other friend i have is my friends best friend. i tried to talk to her about madi but she straight up told me i was being disrespectful and shut me down bc shes “very protective over her. shes my sister.” not literally, but they have that kind of connection. so i cant even talk to her about it. ITS FINE I LOVE HAVING NO FRIENDS AHAHAAH ITS FUCKING GREAT besides the fact that i am constantly drowning in my own head :) its fine. thats why i come on here and scream into the void. i told the first friend about how i learned something on tiktok and her response is always “well its the internet so... it may not be true” like everytime but today i looked at her and said “im not an idiot. i looked it up” i did not but theres actual doctors and stuff who make little educational videos on tiktok and theyre legit and have legitimate credentials. she says it all the time.
the guy who coerced me into sending him nudes texted me today. its been like two months since he reached out. and like four or five since we “fought” but it wasnt really a fight. he just hurt my feelings at the end of our conversation. i kept up with him bc he validated me and my body for the first time in my life. i was insecure about my body and he made me feel so good. so ive been chasing that feeling for about two years now. so ive had several doms bc of that. its fine lmao.
i watch glee now. weird. i usually watch like,, american horror story. specifically, coven. over and over. bc im biexual. thats my comfort show. that and criminal minds. reid is my favorite. in case thats not blatantly obvious by the bottom energy that radiates from my keyboard.
oh my birthday is in a few days and my two friends keep asking me what i want to do for it and i am slightly suicidal (mostly ideation, i havent relapsed... yet?? idk) so i dont feel like celebrating. bc i dont like this life that has been forced upon me. im not doing anything i can be proud of. im trying to get better but its not working. everything i keep doing keeps falling through. its fucking annoying and frustrating to try so hard and have NOTHING FUCKING WORK OUT. but im gonna keep trying. part of me wants to know at which point i should be hospitalized. i dont know how bad i have to be in order to go. i havent done anything but the feeling is so strong. maybe then i could get a break. not have to worry about anything for a bit. its a lot and its overwhelming. i know i shouldnt fantasize about being hospitalized but im pretty desperate for some time to myself where i dont have to worry about anything except getting my head right. ughhhhhh fuck.

Fix A Heart 5 (Chmergess)
Over & Over Again (Part 2)
From the heat of night To the break of day I'll keep you safe And hold you forever
Sharna woke up the next morning to an empty cold bed next to her. She sat up quickly and looked around wondering exactly where Val had went. She realized he probably hadn't wanted to deal with her this morning and had left before she woke up. She flopped back onto the bed as the thoughts of last night flew through her brain. Tears immediately filled her eyes as she tried to figure out what to do.
"Hey, you okay?" She heard Val's voice fill the room as the mattress dipped beside her. She looked at him in shock wondering where he came from.
"I thought you left." She said confused.
"I went to shower princess. I know we have a lot to do today so I figured I'd get it done quickly."
"Oh." She said as she wiped the few tears off her cheeks that had fallen. It was then that she noticed the towel in his hand as well as the fact that his hair was damp.
"You have a bad dream?" He asked as he stood up and threw his towel on the chair. Then he moved over to the other side of the bed and laid down beside her.
Her head shook fiercely as she flipped away from him and curled into herself.
"Shar." He said softly as he rested his hand on her shoulder. She tucked into herself further and he sighed."I'm going to go get ready and then head down. You come down when you're ready."
"Val....." She said softly as she felt him get off the bed.
"Yeah princess?" He said stopping and turning to look at her.
"Come back." She said sitting up and looking at him. He took her in for a minute before moving back over the bed and settling next to her. She slid over to his body and tucked into him. He wrapped his arms around her and held her for a minute.
"Better?" He asked as he felt her begin to relax.
"Mmhmm, I'm sorry. I just there's a lot on my mind." She whispered into his chest.
"I'm sorry princess. I shouldn't have said anything." He sighed.
"No, I'm glad you did. I just, I need to think. And then I thought you left this morning because you didn't want to deal with me and everything." She said meekly.
"Babe, never. I don't ever want you to think that. No matter what. No matter what you decide, there will never ever be a moment when I would just leave you or not want to deal with you. I love you and that will always remain regardless of if it stays as us being best friends or if it turns into something more. Okay?" He said as he hugged her tightly.
"Ok. Ditto for me too. You will always be my Val." She whispered.
"Good. Now what do you and Woo have planned for today?" He asked.
"Umm, we're going to see Mark and BC for lunch with some people and then I'm going to show her around the city a little bit. We're going to come back here way before dinner though so that she can rest some. We're going to do the tree tonight and late."
"You're going to the treeeee." He said half in a whine and half excited.
"Yup, she's never seen it. Do I hear a hint of jealousy in your voice?" She teased.
"Umm, maybe a little. It's a little known fact but I love the tree."
"Seriously?" She said pulling back to look at him.
"Yes!"
"Well come with us."
"I can't take your last night of Woo time."
"You're not taking my Woo time. Plus I'm pretty certain she'd be happy to have you with us."
"Are you sure?" He asked with a hint of childlike excitement in his voice.
"Positive. Now go make me breakfast while I shower." She said giving him a slight push as she climbed out of the bed and headed into the shower. Val laughed and shook his head as he headed downstairs. Maks was already working on breakfast.
"Good. Now I'm off the make Sharna breakfast role." Val said pouring his coffee and starting to help Maks with everything. They had spent so much time together growing up that they could seamlessly make breakfast.
"Ohh, so you've moved up to breakfast making stage." Maks said looking at his brother.
"Shush man. I just...we've gotten close."
"She slept in with you last night didn't she?"
"She did. She feels safe that way." Val said nonchalantly as he moved onto cutting tomatoes for the omelets.
"Uh huh. So does Peta. You're falling for her man."
"I know. Her mom called me out on it last night."
"No shit." Maks said stopping what he was doing and turned to look at his brother.
"Yeah. I mean it's true but I just haven't felt like I can throw that at her. Her whole year has been about healing and fixing herself and getting through everything that Paul put her through."
"But at some point that's not your decision. It's like when P & I split and I tried to go back for her. I could only do so much and then let her know. But I also had to let her know what was going on in my head too. You have to talk."
"I know. That's what her mom told me too.  And so I did."
"Whoa, back up. You said her mom called you out on it last night. When in the hell did you have time to talk?"
"Last night. After everyone went to bed. We spent some time in the sunroom. I did a lot of thinking through the night or well the 3 hours from her mom and I's convo to my time with Shar in the room. And I realized one of the things that pissed me off most with Paul was that he took away her ability to chose and make choices. So me withholding all this from her was just the same thing in a sense. So I told her."
"How'd that go down?"
"She panicked. Full out panicked. Said she couldn't put me through that and she wasn't sure she'd ever heal completely and be able to be in love and do all the things involved."
"Understandable."
"Right. I told her that I wasn't telling her all this to pressure her but because I needed this to be her decision. I told her that I didn't want anything to change between us if she didn't decide that's what she wanted."
"That was smart. But wait, you freaked her out and then she still slept with you?"
"Well I was going to leave. I figured I had worked her up and that I needed to just give her space. And she asked me to stay. She said she's learned that she's calmest when I'm around so that as much as I made her head spin, I was also her calm. So I stayed."
"Oh my goodness. Maksim Chmerkovskiy's famous omelets!" Sharna said appearing with Peta.
"Ohhh, pretty girl, you hear that, I'm famous." Maks said moving over to give Peta a quick kiss.
"You are handsome, you are." Peta said as she headed to make herself tea while Sharna made her coffee.
"You want me to have tea with you?" Sharna asked. Peta was completely off the caffeine especially for the end of the pregnancy.
"It's okay, coffee it up babe." Peta said.
"Okay. Woo. How'd you sleep?" Sharna said as her mother appeared in the kitchen.
"Good baby, how about you? You never came to bed last night."
"I...umm...yeah. Here's a coffee mug." Sharna said as her face turned red and she moved next to Peta like her best friend would protect her.
"Uh huh, you're an adult baby. It's fine. I've got a feeling Val cuddles better than me." Woo said as she nudged Val, effectively making him turn red as well.
"Woo, I'm keeping you." Maks said as he hugged the woman. He was enjoying this morning tease fest of his brother and pseudo sister.
"Just calling it like I see it. So I heard you're going to make your best breakfast?"
"I am. Here, you guys pick what you want and I'll start making the the omelets." Maks said passing out bowls and directing everyone to the row of add ins. The spent the rest of the morning enjoying some quiet time before Woo and Sharna headed out to explore for a while and meet up with Mark's gang. When they came home, Peta was in the living room sorting some clothes they had gotten for Shai so Sharna flopped down next to her while Woo went to take a nap. They worked on the clothes until Maks and Val appeared and crashed their party. The group enjoyed some time together.
"Babe, why don't you go lay down." Maks said after seeing Peta yawn for probably the 6th time. The end of the pregnancy was exactly like the beginning in which she basically had no energy.
"Because, Sharna's here." Peta said like that explained everything.
"She's not leaving yet." Maks said laughing.
"She is so. And I'm not ready for it. And if I go upstairs I'm going to fall asleep." Peta whined Peta making the whole group laugh until Peta glared at them.
"Take her with you then. Val and I basically crashed your girl time anyways."  
"I can't make her do that. I'll most likely fall asleep on her."
"Well, then she can leave."
"I'm right here guys." Sharna finally interjected after watching the conversation between the two lovers. Anyone would think they were borderline fighting but they weren't. It was just them.
"Sorry." Peta said sheepishly.
"It's fine. I'll come up with you. I could use a rest as well anyways. And it'll give us time to have girl talk like before." Sharna said bouncing up and holding her hand out to her best friend.
"Now you're ganging up on me." Peta said taking Sharna's hand and standing up. Maks and Val laughed as Maks stood up to give her a kiss. The girls headed up to the bedroom and got situated.
"So how's my nephew doing?" Sharna asked with a smile.
"He's doing very good. I kind of hate that you're so far away right now. I wish we were out there or you were here." Peta said softly.
"Me too babe but we'll figure it out. I think it's good you guys are out here for your birth and everything and you'll have help. If you were back in LA, we wouldn't be there because of tour. I do wish we got more time together. I miss my best friend." Sharna said just as softly as Peta. Both girls got quiet for a moment thinking of how life had grown and changed over the last year.
"So what's going on with you and my soon to be brother in law?" Peta asked breaking the quiet.
"Nothing." Sharna said flipping onto her back quickly and staring at the ceiling.
"That's the biggest lie ever. Talk to me babe." Peta said shuffling slightly closer to her best friend. Sharna shook her head for a moment as tears filled her eyes. Peta reached for her hand squeezing it.
"He asked me if I thought about dating last night. Just in general."
"And what did you say?"
"That there's no way that I could saddle anyone with that. P, the thought of sex terrifies me right now. I just...that's not fair to anyone. Let alone the nightmares and the panic attacks and everything. There's just so much lingering from everything with Paul. Someone speaks to loud and I jump. Someone asks me to do something and I feel the need to do it immediately. It's like all the parts of me that he affected have healed but there's still this dark tinge to it."
"Well, maybe you need someone to show you the way it should be."
"But Paul was the way it should be. At least at the beginning. P, when we first started dating, there was no way in hell that you could have convinced me that all this would have happened. Hell, I don't think any of us would have thought that. What if it happens again? I don't have the best guy track record. And then you've got my past roped in. What if I pick someone with the tendencies just because it's in my nature?"
"What if you wouldn't need to pick. What if that person was already in your life. And you knew that you could trust him and that he would never ever do any of those things to you."
"What if I lose him? What if he can't handle it? I can't P, other than you, he's my one safety net that's left. I can't."
"He told you last night didn't he?" Peta asked gently. She hadn't had a chance to talk to Val about any of it because they had all been involved in other stuff lately but she could see him falling for the red-head. She knew though he wouldn't tell her though because he was worried she wasn't ready.
"He did. I panicked." Sharna said finally looking over to Peta.
"Babe...." Peta said softly as she saw the fear in her best friend's eyes.
"What if I can't P? I mean it's superficial but what if I can't have sex again? That's not fair to him." Sharna said shuddering at the thought of the idea in general. The torment Paul had done to her had made her completely never want that experience again.
"Well no. But you don't know that it would be the case. Plus it's Val. Your Val. He of anyone in the world would do whatever he needed to make sure you were safe and comfortable. Shar, just because everything happened with Paul shouldn't condemn you to a life of solitude. And honestly if you were going to move on with anyone, I would trust Val with you first. You've said this whole time that he's been your rock. Let him continue to be your rock and more."
"I.....I don't...." Sharna started as she felt the panic building in her chest. She got frustrated which in turn only made it worse. Peta saw it and had an idea.
"Give me your hand." She said softly taking Sharna's hand and pressing it on her belly where Shai was currently moving about. She felt Sharna slowly begin to relax as she felt her nephews motions under her hand.
"Now this has nothing to do with you but if you would have told me that I put my dancing career on hold to give birth to a baby boy with my soul mate I would have told you that you were absolutely insane. But the thing is, we don't always get to pick how life is going to go for us. Sometimes we have to just trust in what the world has planned."
"What if I don't want what the world has planned?" Sharna whispered.
"What if you do?"
"I...." Sharna stammered.
"Do me a favor. Close your eyes and think for me. Pretend you're 60 years old, your 25 year old daughter comes home to tell you she's pregnant. You're going to be a grandma for the first time. Who is the person you want her to be telling with you."
"P? Who comes up with that scenario?" Sharna said opening her eyes and looking at her best friend.
"Just go with it please. It's your baby, your first born. You named her Alice after Nan. She's got your blonde locks but she got her daddy's eyes. The eyes that remind you of love and excitement. The eyes that mean the world to you. That have created crazy journeys and amazing memories. Whose eyes does Alice have?"
This time Sharna did what Peta asked, she closed her eyes and thought, she thought hard.
"Mum! Mum! Nathan and I have some news. Where's dad?" Alice said appearing in her parents house. The 25 year old had gotten married the year before to her high school sweetheart, Nathan. They had started dating in 10th grade and by some miracle stayed together the whole way through. After they graduated college, Nathan had come to the house one day while Alice was out with her best friend. He asked for permission to marry her. They had both said yes immediately and a few days later Alice was engaged. A whirlwind 2 years later brought them to this moment now.
"He's upstairs. He was doing something."
"Nate, wait here with mum. I'm going to go get him." Alice took off up the stairs yelling for her father.
"And how are you Nathan?" Sharna asked as she moved to grab a couple glasses so she could get the group drinks.
"I must say I'm quite amazing ma'am." Nathan said with a grin that went beyond his eyes.
"Alright, alright, we're here." Alice said appearing with her father. She moved over to Nathan quickly and he wrapped his arm around her waist tucking her tiny form into him. Her whole body seemed to vibrate with excitement making both her parents smile.
"Ready sweetheart?" Nathan said as he reached into his back pocket.
"Yes, yes." Alice said bouncing in his grasp.
"1, 2, 3." Nathan said before flipping a small card over and laying it on the kitchen counter. Sharna gasped as she realized what it was.
"Mum, Dad, meet Baby Wakeham." Alice said as her excitement finally won out and her eyes filled with excited happy tears.
"My baby is having a baby, I'm going to be a grandmum. Oh sweetheart." Sharna said as her throat clogged with emotion. She moved over to her daughter hugging her tightly before pulling back to take in her expression. She looked into those deep dark blue almost black eyes she had inherited from her father. The eyes that she had looked into when she announced the same news to Alice's father. The same eyes she looked into when she had lost Woo. The eyes that gave her comfort, the eyes that gave her excitement, love, confidence, everything. The eyes that Val had passed on to his daughter.
"Babe." Peta's worried voice shook her out of her mind. Sharna realized that she had started crying while she was thinking.
"Val's." Sharna said as the tears began to fall harder and harder as she realized exactly just what she needed to do no matter how scared she was.
"Follow your heart baby, we'll be right here with you every day. Just remember that. No matter what, it'll be okay." Peta said before pulling Sharna into her body. She held her friend as best as she could letting her realization sink in and letting her brain figure things out.
And the sparks will fly They will never fade 'Cause every day gets better and better And I won't leave you Always be true One plus one, two for life Over and over again
**That's a wrap. Sorry I've been MIA lately. Work and Life and Just everything has been hectic. Hopefully I'll be able to get you guys more stuff more regularly soon. This one is a little different than what we've seen but I hope you all like it. There will be a third part to this song in particular. Let me know what you thought, if you liked it, hated it, loved it. You all know the drill, likes and comments make me happy. Thank you always for the support and love and everything else. You're all my favorites!
