#and i think a camping scenario is so fucking juicy

[ghostradiodylan]

Hey I’m the anon that sent in the ask about Nick getting his leg cut off! Thank you for answering it and I’m glad you think it’s an interesting idea!

I wanted to expand on it a little if that’s okay….

Who do you think would end up doing it? Maybe one of the counselors in the poolroom with him would ask Dylan about his hand being gone and then suggest the idea for Nick?

Or maybe, sometime during the night after Abi shoots him and he runs away, Nick is back in human form. He’s just sitting there, thinking, then he remembers Dylan’s hand being gone and puts two and two together. He ends up finding something sharp in the woods (like a machete or some razor wire) and cutting the leg off himself. Maybe there would have to be some QTEs the player has to catch in order for him to do it right. Maybe in this scenario, his survival is dependent on Jacob or Emma. If Jacob and/or Emma are alive and/or uninfected, one of them will find him and help him back to the main camp house where he can take refuge in the storm shelter with Abi and/or Emma. If neither of them are alive, however, he would be alone in the woods and bleed out, making another possible death for him.

In either scenario, there could also be a cute scene with Nick and Emma in the storm shelter where he apologizes to her and they reconcile.

Sorry for rambling! I just think this would be a cool alternative idea for Nick so he is shown more in the game!

Hey anon, sorry for taking so long to get to this (and to my other asks, I swear I will answer them all eventually!)

Here’s part 1 of this ask

Adding what @fullmoonhijinks said in a reblog here too to keep it all in the conversation:

"I suddenly super need to know if the lycanthrope is more curse or more infection. Like, it operates a bit as both, obviously, but is it like venom? We know people have different tolerances for it, some take longer to change - is that a constitution thing? Jacob does take the longest time to change, but Nick is one of the shortest. Emma takes a different amount of time depending if she was bitten by Max or Caleb, so are different werewolves different levels of toxic? Is it about the location of the bite? Does it travel via the bloodstream or the lymphatic system? Would a tourniquet or pressure immobilisation bandaging help stave it off? In Australia we're taught how to treat snake bites in infants school, if Nick had insisted on that kind of first aid would he have made it long enough for Laura to explain and for a choice about amputation to be made? Would they have believed Laura's story without seeing Nick transform?

Juicy, juicy alternate realities..."

So I think this is super relevant to anon's question as far as: how soon do we need to cut to stop the spread, and how do we know where to cut to stop the spread?

My instinct is that even by the time Dylan suggests amputation for Nick, it would already be too late (not that anyone is going for it anyway), but I don't know that for sure. We see the black branching up Dylan's arm pretty quickly after he gets bitten, but cutting off his hand still takes care of it, so it's like the physical bite itself is somehow continuing to spread the infection for some unknown amount of time.

So, yeah, no idea how much time we'd have to do it. You definitely wouldn't want to risk doing it too late and ending up limbless AND infected, unless you're pretty darn sure that transforming would cause the limb to grow back. I don't know that I think entire limbs would grow back, I tend to hc that the amputation wound would heal if you were infected, but that's it. But, as with many parts of the lore in this game, it's unclear! We don't see if Laura's eye is actually just badly damaged or if that's a truly empty socket, it's just a dark void in her face.

Anyway, Nick cutting his own leg off with razor wire would be metal as fuck, but I can't imagine him actually doing that!

Part of me wants to say Abi should have to be the one to cut Nick's leg off so we get couples maiming each other symmetry with Dylan and Ryan, but I don't think she'd be able to do it, she's so mild-mannered and I hc her as not being good with blood at all. She does manage to shoot Nick with a shotgun if you choose that though, so maybe I'm not giving her enough credit!

You know who probably would be willing to do it, though? Jacob. Jacob might actually be impulsive enough to cut Nick's leg off with a hacksaw or something if he's around at the right time.

We were just talking in the Discord about needing a 'stop the bleeding' qte for Dylan, something like that would be fun for Nick too. Go find a tourniquet! (I love the possibility of a tourniquet actually slowing the infection too, even without amputating, that's such a good thought!)

Lots to chew on about infections and amputations, for sure!

Gat any juicy ✨aPoCaLyPsE✨ aus??? (Any other are welcome too, I will eat.)

GO ALL OUT, DO IT.

Ahh!!! Ok. I dont personally have any apocalypse aus, HOWEVER!!!! I can make up headcannons for how I see things going in this hypothetical

Now the rules I personally am going to use is Zombieland and Last of Us. Im not doing slow zombie shit thats BORING!!!! Alright, here we go.

Cartman:

The first one to be bit out of the boys

Look, Zombieland rule number one right here

Tbh he thought the person who bit him escaped the looney bin

He didnt care

...until he realized his mom was turned

Fuck

So naturally he goes to Kyles

Got there last tho

Kyle let him in

Look, he may hate Cartman but he felt bad!

The turning process took 3 days after he was bit

Day one was the show of pink eye, eye crust and a slight green tint

Second day he looks worse, eyes look all hazy and he looks grener and more deshevled

Third day; yeah hes turned, foaming at the mouth

Butters went to check on him since hes the medic and it ended with Kyle killing him and Kenny getting bit

Kyle:

Didnt know the apocalypse was happening for a good while

Just knew he wasnt going to school for a while so win win

That was until they were out one day and saw a zombie themselves

Oh yeah theyre OUT!!!

Making a break for the house Kyle had to watch his parents get bit

Picked up Ike and was outie like a belly button!!!

Had to gear up on survivalist stuff

Guns, medical equipment, stuff like that

Somehow became the leader of a small group including himself, Ike, Kenny, Stan, Butters, and Cartman.

They stayed at his house until they discover Tolkien's alive

Now they on their way to his house (which has more space and food)

Either the last to be bitten or a survivor

Very distrusting of new people after the cartman incident

Or just people in general

Checks DAILY for bites

If someone's found with a bite they talk to Kyles PEW PEW

Stan:

Co leader of Kyles little resistance thing

Goes out with him on hunts or killing sprees

Found his house after his sister was turned

Not the first few bit but he def doesnt survive

Its either a self sacrifice thing or something depressing where Kyle and Stan are crying

Kyle has to leave him behind which really sucks :(

But they arent having another Cartman situation.

During the apocalypse his drinking problem gets worse

Several times where the group was thinking of just leaving him cuz hes a liability but Kyles like

"No dude hes my friend >:("

Kept Sparky around to sniff for stuff and as a general alert system

Someone at the door?

BARKBARK BARK

Someones turned?

BARKBARKBARK

Stuff like that

OOOOO Sparkys gonna be SADDD when Stan dies

Or he'll just die with him

Idk

Kenny:

Second to be bit and turned

Before that he was the rations, weapons, drinks, etc guy

Main weapon was a flame thrower

Why? Cuz its cool as hell

Def gives tallahassee from Zombieland in a survival scenario

That man will do CRAZY SHIT

God i LOVE Tallahassee!!!!

Shame Kenny got bit

They basically were like

"Yeah no"

And threw him outside.

Then Kyle and Stan became the new scavengers

Poor Kenny :(

Butters:

Both his parents turned so he was outie like a belly button

Left with more truama than he had

Ended up becomming the group medic

The boys try to do everything to keep him from turning

Their efforts are successful until they make their way to Tolkiens

Then he gets bit by a zombie cuz hes frozen in some kinda fear

Kenny returns and CHOMP

Then the groups like "FUCK" and run away

He did survive for a while so like, good on him

But his ass cant use a weapon for shit

Tweek:

It could go both ways with him

Either he dies really early

Or dies really late

But i do think hes a hermit whos gone crazy in bith scenario

He def things Craig and his friends are dead

Hes survived on eating coffee beans and no sleep

Eventually tho i think he cant take it anymore and runs for the zombie hoarde

A certain someone does save him tho and hes in a camp with a few other people

Still bonkers crazy tho

Man thinks hes in heaven

Talking for hours abt how excited he is to see Craig

Poor dude is nuts

Craig:

The one who saved Tweek

Has a resistance of his own with Dougie, Wendy, Terrance Mephesto, Bebe, Clyde, Damien, Mike and Pip (yes Pip is alive in this au. Fight me)

They have a pretty big camp, too.

Theyve essentially been glamping for half the apocalypse

Staying in the mephesto place for like, the entirety of the apocalypse

Pip informs Craig on Tweeke mental state very often (Pip is the medic and group therapist)

Craig is almost never at the base cuz hes out getting stuff

Makes sure to go out in something the zombies cant bite through too

Just in case

Leaves Stripe in Pip's care, ends up bonding with him too

"Yknow frenchie? You arent that bad"

"Uhm..im not french, but thank you!"

On a mission to find Tricia since they seperated

Least he found Tweek

Main weapon is a sniper rifle. Likes hanging out on rooftops and going zombie hunting that way.

Informs the group on the staus of the people hes seen as Zombies.

"So uh... Stan, Cartman, Kenny, and Butters turned.."

And the whole groupis just like 😨

Clyde:

If you think this man is lasting long you are a FOOL

That man would see something truamtic

Cry

And get eaten by a zombie hoarde

I dont see him contributing much to a group at all

Just staying inside cuz hes a wuss

They had to force him out

And thats when he fucking died

Jimmy:

Staying in Tolkiens house with him

Theyre pretty set on food and water

Will go out with Tolkien if they need to get stuff

Can use crutches as a close combat weapon

Trying to keep the situation light

Joking abt everything to make Tolkien feel better

More than happy to welcome the rest of the boys into their home

Survivor, yes, im biased

Tolkien:

Stayed pretty much unaffected by the apocalypse, lucky fuck

Goes out with Jimmy if they need anything

Became the new leader of the resistance

Kyles now on medic duty

Also a survivor

Makes sure weapons are all good and everything

Very good with the organization aspect of the apocalypse.

House is also very spacious

Overhears mephesto working on a cure so that keeps his morale high

Nichole is also staying with him and Jimmy, but mostly for security.

Girl can kick ass

Hope you enjoyed, anons!

How Would They React Sharing a Sleeping Bag With You?

[Headcanons]

Pairing: Katsuki Bakugo x Reader, Denki Kaminari x Reader, Shoto Todoroki x Reader (Separately)

[@httpswwwtbhkcom’s masterlist]

Summary: The class was going to go camping until he/she had forgotten his/her sleeping bag. So he/she had to share with you. 

(P.s. To make it more interesting, let’s just say Momo was drained so she couldn’t use her quirk in the middle of the night.)

Warning: Cursing, maybe some scenarios that makes you perverted, 

Genre: Fluff

Keys:

Y/n- your name, 

Reader: Neutral

Katsuki Bakugo:

☽✧ ✦ ✧☾

I swear he’d ‘kill the shit out of’ Yaoyorozu just to make another sleeping bag.

But she was too tired, after overusing her quirk into making other important and unimportant objects. 

Everyone was also in pairs, (One student with the Teacher). And somehow, he was paired with you. The person he respected and liked. It was somehow luck, or curse that you had forgotten your sleeping bag. He wanted to be close to you, But not this close 👌. 

“Hurry and make a fucking sleeping bag for Y/n Ponytail!” He shouted at her, grabbing her collar. “She needs some rest Bakubro- She’s been doing things for us y’know?” Kirishima placed his hand on top of his shoulder. You were no where to be seen. He heard you were at the river nearby.

“Or maybe he’s too scared to make a move on having a crush on Y/n~” Kaminari mocks, making Bakugo shot a glare at him. The Bakusquad only laughs at him, making him blush. 

He loosened his grip and gave a tired Yaoyorozu to Kirishima. Kirishima gave him a confused look. He rolled his eyes and went to your tent. 

He lied down looking at the roof of the tent. It wasn’t big, but it was big enough to fit both of you. “Bakugo! Time to make food for us!” Sero called him, cutting him out of his trance. He groans but stood up and left the tent. 

You were already waiting sitting on a log, your stomach softly grumbling. You didn’t notice that Bakugo was staring at you while you were looking up at the dark sky, the stars were visible. 

It was at the middle of the night when the others went to sleep. Leaving you and Bakugo alone sitting inside the tent, thinking of a solution of how to sleep properly inside a sleeping bag without touching each other. 

Bakugo noticed you yawn while staring at the sleeping bag. Luckily, the bag was more bigger to fit both of you perfectly. “You should go sleep.” He says softly. You looked at him. It was either you or your imagination that he was looking soft. 

“Sleep.” He tells you with a bit more serious tone. “How about you?” You tried to keep yourself awake. “I’ll be fine.” His heart beating, maybe it was because you were worried. “But it’s cold today.” You replied, Bakugo noticed that it was almost a whine. 

Bakugo froze when you told him that he should sleep with you in the sleeping bag. It was either you or your tired/sleepy state. He didn’t protest or anything since he was beside you. Your back was turned to his. But his chest was close enough that you could probably hear his heartbeat raising. 

Few minutes had passed, you couldn’t sleep. You didn’t knew about Bakugo but you were sure he was asleep. You were going to turn to face him until you felt his strong arms wrap around you and kept you near his chest. 

You couldn’t help but blush furiously. You can feel him sniff your hair before dreamily sighing. “Good night...” He whispered. 

Bonus, Warning; light crack: 

“Good night to you too Bakugo.” You answered back, trying to hold your laughter. Bakugo unwrapped his arms around you quickly, you slightly frowned as he do so. 

“You were awake the whole time?!” He whispered, trying to not shout at you when the others were sleeping. “Can’t sleep.” You smiled, feeling fully awake.

He gruffed but went back into hugging you again. “You’re mine now.” He said, wrapping you a bit tighter before sleeping again.

The next morning, The bakusquad was taking pictures. Reason? They noticed you both haven’t gotten out of the tent yet so they decided to check for juicy details. And there were one waiting for them. They went inside the tent seeing both of you wrapped around in each others arms. They took multiple pictures for blackmail. To their dismay, you and Bakugo had woke up to see them grinning and their phones in their hands. 

P.S. Bakugo took care of them while Aizawa took care of Bakugo.

Wowie he sure is going to be luck-y! Being in the same tent with his crush is great but sleeping in the same sleeping bag as you?! That’s Jackpot!

He didn’t forgot his sleeping bag on purpose, he was on a hurry. 

He didn’t beg for Yaoyorozu to make another sleeping bag for him. It was a stepping stone into getting a relationship with you, so why would he pass?

When Aizawa asked to come in pairs, the first person in mind was you. It has always been. 

“Hey Y/n, Wanna be my pair?” He asks, grinning and blushing slightly. You were also blushing. You nodded, it wasn’t like no one was going to be your pair, you wanted a certain someone to be your pair. 

It was already dark and Kaminari invited you stargazing with him. ‘Just you and me Y/n. So, wanna come?’ His words repeated on your mind like a loop. Making you flustered. 

You both were watching the stars while he makes a conversation, mostly goofing around and giving you compliments which never fails to make you blush. 

Minutes had passed and you started to feel sleepy. You urged yourself to fight your tired mind. Kaminari noticed it and confronted you about it. “Wanna go back to the camp? We could always do this the next time.” You nodded. You felt arms wrap behind your back and thighs, then you didn’t feel the ground like earlier. Until you noticed he was carrying you back to the camp. 

You were too tired on fighting and trying to walk on your own so you let him do his thing. In which he gladly did. 

Back to the camp was not far. But he was grinning to himself when his skin touched yours. You were softly snoring while your head was laying beside his chest. 

Bonus: 

He gently placed you in the sleeping bag. After a few seconds, you started to squirm. He wasn’t inside the sleeping bag, instead he gave you space and decided to sleep, sitting down. 

He looked at you in the mix of worried and confusion. Why were you squirming? He asks himself. 

You looked so uncomfortable, cold maybe? You couldn’t stop squirming while he tried to cover you up.

While he was trying to cover you up again, you grab his wrist. Making him jump, then you pulled him to you. “So you wanted to sleep with me hm? Should’ve told me babe~” He cooes. Earning a groan from you. 

In the morning, he- no everyone- couldn’t wipe the grin in his face. ‘Best night of my life!’ His grin widened.

3 words. He didn’t complain.

Sleeping beside his crush isn’t common, nor rare. It was, just right. Probably.

He stared at you as you converse with Midoriya. He was happy he could be in the same tent as you but he didn’t know if you were comfortable with it. Of course he doesn’t want to be touchy to the people he doesn’t date. 

While eating, he tried to make a conversation with you. It was poor, but he tried. So you made the conversation in your own hands. You saw him smile while you were talking to him about stuff. 

9pm had came faster than both of you had thought. Aizawa told everyone to sleep and get ready for tomorrow. While both you and Todoroki were sitting. 

“Are you fine with this?” He calmly asks, looking a bit concerned. “Yes.” You whispered. 

It was going to be a cold night. And you don’t want to freeze to death. So you decided to ask him if you could sleep beside his left side. He relutantly agreed, meaning that you would sleep beside him today. And he didn’t want you to get accidentally burn you while you were sleeping, so he gave you a warning which you probably will ignore. 

You wrapped your arms to Todoroki. He stiffens but melted a while after, trying to not wake you up or burn you. 

He stares at you in the corner of his eye until he sleeps. 

The night was not a problem to you and Todoroki while the others complain about the cold last night.

[silverseedthings]

Jin Ling is a little younger Fix-It AU

Alright, so I had a silly thought:

I’ve read a lot of fic where Jin Guangyao didn’t love Qin Su but wanted the political connections of marrying her (plus the appearence of respectability inherent in being a married man) and he seduced her in order to force her family’s hand since they wouldn’t let them marry. 

So far, this makes sense. Jin Guangyao is an experienced manipulator, he has charm, he has dimples, he’s a war hero. A sheltered girl like Qin Su would probably be easy prey for him. Equally logically, Qin Su’s mother would be Extremely Against this marriage. But she’s not going to admit to having been raped when she has the handy excuse of “But he’s the son of a whore!”

Now, what if Qin Su’s maids heard about what their mistress and her suitor were planning? The scandal! The juicy gossip! The extremely hefty tips they could receive in Jinlintai for that piece of intelligence on one of Carp Tower’s most disliked inhabitants!

Qin Su and Jin Guangyao quietly cease their association. But the Jin Sect is really gross and sexist even beyond the standards of the really gross and sexist cultivation world. Who’s going to get the worst of the backlash? Qin Su.

And Jin Zixuan notices. Madam Jin makes SURE he notices, anyway, with how she rants about shamelessness and dishonorability, even if in her case it’s mostly so she can say that she didn’t expect any better from JGY.

Now, Jin Zixuan had been quietly hopeful that he could get some action before the wedding, but he has just gotten a brutal reminder of how insidious Carp Tower gossip is, and he’s humiliated Jiang Yanli enough for a lifetime. He would never even look at her nonconsensually -he’s not his father- but he rather thinks Jiang Cheng would still take him aside for a quiet conversation with Zidian if there was a blowup of this magnitude (probably worse considering their station) with his sister. So he keeps it in his pants.

(Do I know if the timeline works for this? No. Do I care? Also no)

Now, fast forward most of a year past the wedding. The situation is thus:

Wei Wuxian is quietly farming in the Burial Mounds. Nobody has heard of the Yiling Patriarch in months beyond vague rumour-mongering.

Jiang Yanli is only just starting to show a baby bump. No official announcements have been made.

Jiang Cheng absolutely refuses to commit to an attack on the remaining Wens. Without Jiang support for the Jin’s proposal, Lan Xichen feels comfortable mantaining neutrality. Nie Mingjue hates Wens and demonic cultivation, but he has his priorities mostly straight. He won’t launch an offensive unprovoked, and is considering retracting his support of the siege plans out of spite since he Really Fucking Hates both Jin Guangshan and Jin Guangyao.

Jin Guangshan’s patience is wearing thin.

Now, Jin Guangyao knows very well he’s disposable. It’s why he wanted to marry Qin Su in the first place: a bastard son can be quietly (or loudly, depending on what is most convenient) expelled from the Sect once he’s no longer useful. If he was married to a lady from a prominent family that could be taken as an insult to his in-laws. But that plan backfired.

The social capital from his heroic deeds in the war is drying up. The scandal has left him in an even more precarious position, and to the public it looks like not even his sworn brothers are supporting him.

(It legitimately cracks me up that the outside perspective is that Lan Xichen is quietly disapproving of his actions while Nie Mingjue still gives him the benefit of the doubt, based on who’s standing with his clan on the Yiling Patriarch issue)

His assets are: one (1) easily-manipulated, bitter and petty minor sect leader with a disturbing obsession with Lan Wangji and one (1) out of his myriad of siblings (sworn, recognized, unrecognized or otherwise) that still likes and trusts him.

He goes to talk to Lan Xichen.

Here’s when what I like to call “The Tea of Misunderstandings” happens.

JGY, with earnest eyes and a pitiful expression: “Er-ge, I really don’t know what to do about the issue of the Yiling Patriarch. My father is convinced he’s an evil man that is amassing an army, but I haven’t seen you agree with him. Do you think his opinion is unfounded? Do you know anyone who could give an accurate account of his character? Please advise”

LXC, who always errs on the side of thinking the best of everyone’s intentions: “Well, I never had many interactions with Young Master Wei. I really couldn’t say for sure what he’s thinking, even if his chosen cultivation method is deeply troubling. If you want to hear what someone that has fought with him in the past has to say, perhaps you could ask Wangji?”

JGY, internally: “Perfect. Everyone knows Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian can’t stand one another. Er-ge won’t want to risk a large battle unless he’s attacked when his sect suffered so much so recently, but it will be easy to get him onboard once I give him a good excuse”

LXC, internally: “It’s so nice of A-Yao to be worried about doing the right thing, even if it might not align with his sect leader’s opinion. So inspiring! I hope Young Master Wei really is the man Wangji thinks he is, and that Wangji can convince A-Yao to speak to Sect Leader Jin on his behalf. We might be able to solve this situation without bloodshed.”

Remember, at this point in time Lan Wangji is still an Extremely Repressed Gay, and he and Wei Wuxian have had many very public disagreements. You can forgive JGY for not realizing that everybody knows they hate each other in much the same way everybody knows the Yiling Patriarch is amassing a terrifying Wen army.

You may blame Lan Xichen for his word choice when he meant “Someone who fought beside Wei Wuxian in the Sunshot Campaign and other occasions”. Poor jiggy interpreted “Someone who fought AGAINST Wei Wuxian”.

Convincing Su She to curse Lan Wangji is easy. Convincing him that the Yiling Patriarch: 1) Will be pleased about this and welcome him with open arms; 2) Can and will get rid of the curse backlash; 3) Will be easy to fool into revealing his plans so Su She can access glory and reknown in the same way JGY did is easier.

Jin Guangyao is prepared for every outcome: 

If WWX kills Su She on the spot (which seems unlikely), Lan Wangji will still have suffered a direct attack “from the Yiling Patriarch” and Lan Xichen will feel compelled to support Jin Guangshan’s agenda. The Jiang will have no choice but to bow to the other three sects’ will and join. The death of a minor sect leader will get the minor sects foaming at the mouth to mount his head on a pike. Win.

If WWX lets his grudge cloud his judgement and actually welcomes Su She into the Burial Mounds (possible), the movilization to eradicate him and his camp will be even faster. Win.

If WWX tries to get Su She to pass him information and push his own agenda on the cultivation world (most probable, since he’s in desperate need of both information and people speaking for him, even if they come with the ticking time-bomb of a curse), Su She will just report on his forces and condemn him for “forcing him” to curse LWJ, as planned. Win.

Even in the unlikely event that WWX actually can (and the even unlikelier scenario that he does) get rid of the curse mark, JGY can blame Su She for everything and present himself as the one who uncovered their sinister plots so as to not share the glory. Win.

....Or so he’d thought. WWX trussing up Su She like a turkey and presenting them both at the gates of Cloud Recesses in a very public show of concern for LWJ was not something he’d thought he’d need a contingency for.

When LWJ turns out to believe everything WWX tells him even after Su She shockingly doesn’t sell JGY out and they team up to uncover the mystery, jiggy is ready to just throw up his hands in disbelief. That’s just unfair.

(WWX would probably have killed Su She on the spot, because he Cannot Even at the idea of LWJ being the slightest at risk, but Wen Ning was the one who found him and got the spiel about joining them and having cursed LWJ as a mark of his sincerity. It didn’t particularly endear him to Wen Ning either, but WN is smart enough to realize that a moron incompetent enough to get lost on the way to the Burial Mounds, in such a way that they had to split up to find him after he tripped the wards because apparentely?? he can’t feel the strongest fucking focus of resentful energy EVER?? is probably not smart enough to figure out a way to curse Hanguang Jun. Much less through the GusuLan sect’s barriers. So WWX and LWJ investigate to find out who’s the mastermind)

#I don't know if JGY sets his father up to take the fall #and lives to scheme another day #or if both of them bite the dust #but I know he won't risk something with this much of a chance to blow up in his face again #can you tell I hate the trope of masterminds that can predict fucking everything? #JGY's plan is solid #all of them are #but they still have a very good chance of backfiring #canon worked out for him #because he was lucky #he took a lot of very big risks for big rewards #but it could have easily gone the other way #and it amuses me to write an AU where that's exactly what happens #mdzs #JGY #WWX #LWJ #WN #LXC #silverseed writes #my theories #my AUs

Black Widow || Quitt

TAGGING: Quinn Fabray & Brittany Pierce

WHEN: March 29th

WHERE: Quinn’s dorm room

GENERAL NOTES: Post mass text talking.

WARNINGS: None

Brittany: It had taken a lot of asking around and even more threatening to break wrists to finally work out exactly where Quinn's dorm room was. All of this could be a lot easier if the girl could answer a damn text message, but Brittany couldn't hold that against her. She assumed the last thing Quinn wanted to do right now was look at her phone. This whole situation was just so fucked up, and Santana was right. Brittany had to at least get over herself and check to see if she was okay. Though she wasn't a talker and she certainly didn't usually feel empathy towards anyone - she did feel bad. Hell really did freeze over sometimes.

 "Quinn.... Quinn, it's me. Open the damn door," Brittany knocked on the door, testing to no avail if the door was unlocked. Of course it wasn't. "I'll break it down.... Quinn?"

Quinn: Quinn wanted to die. Not really- but she really did want to live in this dorm for the rest of her life, or at least until her shame was gone. Maybe she'd become like Emily Dickinson, only taking visitors through the door so she never had to look someone in the eye again. Although, she might have to move home to do that, and she really would rather die than tell her parents she was gay. Sorta gay? She had no label for it.

Of course Brittany was at the door. She groaned and sat up, wrapping her comforter around her like it might hide her shame. Or shield her from prying eyes. "Just... go away." She grumbled, opening the door. She was kind of curious to see if this had effected Britt as much. "I'm not in the mood for more.. sex after it ruined my life."

Brittany: Brittany let out a low sigh. Quinn wasn’t really being too far fetched for assuming she was there for something like that. After all, the pair of them hadn’t actually had much of any conversation between them that didn’t involve them fucking.

“That’s not-“ Brittany started before letting out a long breath from her nose and resting both her palms against either side of the doorframe. “I just wanted to..... talk. See if you’re-...” she broke off and glanced down the hallway to see if there were any prying eyes. “Look, just let me in... Please?”

Quinn: Was she in an alternate universe? Brittany was seriously trying to be nice.. or something? She could follow Brittanys eyeline, and she also felt quite exposed out here. Too many people could see- and the last thing she wanted was more rumors. Reluctantly, she stepped back a little, opening the door enough for Brittany to step in.

"Fine. Come in, but its only talking." She said, pursing her lips a little, and resisting the urge to actually become one with her blanket. "I don't even see what there is to talk about- my life is over."

Brittany: Brittany was thankful that Quinn allowed her to actually go inside and she jumped at the chance, quickly slipping inside so they could shut the door behind the both of them. She turned around on her heel and gave the other girl a quick once over. Brittany's eyes softened a little at the sight of Quinn bundled up as though the comforter was bubblewrap that was going to protect her from whatever was the other side of her apartment walls.

Brittany let a slow breath out through her nose and her lips curled into a small smile. "Your life isn't exactly over. That's... A little dramatic isn't it?" She stepped forward and attempted to unfurl Quinn's cocoon. "I don't even think most people believe anything my cousin says, anyway."

She took a step back, dropping the whole coy act for a somewhat softer and more serious approach. "I'm.. Sorry. I didn't mean for any of.... This crap,"

Quinn: Quinn reluctantly let Brittany loosen the blanket around her- she was feeling a little less like a pariah with someone in the room. "Its a rumor- about me. People don't care if its true or not. Sam might still even have the photo of it." She sighed, "I didn't want people to know.. like ever. I wasn't even going to act on it, ever either."

Was it terrible to admit that Brittany was a mistake? She certainly felt bad about it. Underneath all the.. skank, Quinn did feel appreciated by Brittany. Those moments mattered. "Its fine, it's Sam's fault, really. I shouldn't have told him that it was me in that picture. At least its not as big of a deal if you're gay." She thought on her statement for a moment, deflating a little, "Sorry. Its.. not easy no matter who has to go through it."

Brittany: Brittany's eyebrows flinched into a burrow at the mention of a photo. She didn't want to know how, what or even why her cousin had a photo. With that little piece of information, it did seem like him rambling like an idiot over texts was perhaps best case scenario when it came to him fucking everything up for someone.. Again.

"Nah people know.. About me." Brittany raised her hand to brush it off before stepping back to sit on  the side of Quinn's bed, her hands tangled at the fingers between her knees. Brittany had just assumed through the whole thing that Quinn had been straight - and that was the fun part for her. Having a few wild nights with a straight girl and have it left at that. The idea that it was something Quinn didn't intent to act upon led her to believe that this had been more than that. More complicated.

"Look I-..." She started before exhaling through her nose, "I haven't really had anyone to care about that kinda shit with me so I can't relate to how this feels... Or whatever," She shrugged, looking up from her hands to access Quinn's face. Even visibly upset, she was beautiful. "But know I'm in your corner. Even if you don't want me to be," She added with a small smirk.

Quinn: Green eyes watched cautiously- Brittany wasn't exactly the most open, or the kind of person Quinn would pick as a friend/confidant, but it was oddly comforting to have her here.

"It just.. feels shit. I never want to leave this room- I don't even know how many people know. None of it is in my control." This was suddenly a lot more real than their semi-drunken moments in that Miami room, and Quinn found herself almost leaning into it. She wanted Brittany touch and comfort- and that was giving her a headache. Didn't she have enough to deal with as is? "But..Thanks. I appreciate- It's really nice of you to be here. No one else has been by to just support me."

Brittany: ”No ones saying much so I can’t tell you who knows... I think they assume I’m gonna beat ‘em up,” Brittany half shrugged with a coy smile.

She was a little surprised to hear that no one else had attempted to see her. From what she had seen, Quinn was smart, well liked and looked the way she did - not to mention the praises Puck had sung for her. The kind of person that people should be wanting to check up on.

“You know you can’t haul up in here forever,” Brittany insisted, wanting to get up to pull the comforter off Quinn the rest of the way. Would she want a hug? Would she want something else? Brittany had never really comforted anyone before, unless that comfort was fucking to forget. “And you have a nice smile. It would be a shame.. not to see that again,”

Quinn: This was weird, talking with Brittany. She almost missed the physical contact instead- so she shuffed imperceptibly closer, dropping her blanket hood completely to rest her head on Brittany's shoulder. "Will you beat them up?"

Its terrible- but it would make her feel better. She has no idea how shes going to deal with the whispers, let alone if people actually talk to her. "I want to." She pouts- but Brittany is right. Sooner or later shes going to have to face the texts piling up on her phone.

"You like my smile?" She asks weakly. Shes a pretty girl- and she knows that. Shes just not used to actual compliments, and the things her parents used to say about her appearance play in her head from time to time. Its humbling. "Maybe I'll just camp out for a few more days- it doesnt hurt to let the worst of it blow over, right?"

Brittany: "If you say the word, I'll beat anyone up," the corner of Brittany's mouth curled up into a small smile when Quinn's head fell onto her shoulder and after just a beat, she attempted to move the blanket from Quinn's shoulders to snake an arm around her.

"A few days would be fine, but any more than that.. People will start thinking I killed you like a black widow. Dragging you into my web and sucking the life out of you. The way rumors go in this hell hole of a college, it sound about the right tone," Brittany mumbled with a grimace. With the things people had said about her after the scholarship students enrolled, she knew it would only be a matter of time before the student body found some new juicy gossip to latch onto and forget all about this mess.

"Mhm, I do," she admitted, pulling back from the embrace just enough to use her hand to tilt Quinn's chin up to fully see her face. With her thumb, she traced the outline of her lower lip, the rather pleasant memories of Miami flooding her mind. "You're wonderful, so fuck anyone who will make you feel anything less, okay?"

Quinn: Okay, this was really nice having someone fully and truly in her corner. She knew that Britt wasn't doing this because of any reason but she wanted to be here. "You don't want to sound like the badass that literally ate one of the most popular girls here?"

With the arm around her, and those blue eyes staring at her, and the thumb tracing her lip, how could Quinn say anything but a whispered, "Kiss me, please." Bringing her own hand up to meet at Brittany's jaw, "Or hold me. Just... make me feel good like before?"

Brittany: "I'm already the badass that ate out one of the most popular girls at McKinley, but I don't think they wanna know the details," Brittany couldn't help the smug smile and raise of her brow. Maybe one day soon they would be at the place where they could look back at all of this and find it amusing, but it was a matter of time. Or even if that never happened - Brittany would be okay with that. With the history with everyone in her life, she had no expectations.

Her eyes softened at Quinn's plea, leaning into the warm palm on her face. This wasn't a drunken mess or a egotistical conquest and Brittany didn't hesitate for a second before replying "I can do that," Bringing their lips together, the blanket fell from Quinn entirely as Brittany maneuvered her over to the bed. She wouldn't be able to do or say anything to make things outside of the dorm room better, but this she could do. Even if it was just for a little while.

Brightburn

And you thought your puberty was a bitch. Try turning 12 and discovering that you are basically a superhero that can’t be killed...and you’re real pissed off about it. That’s the basic premise of Brightburn, written and produced by the Gunn brothers (Brian, Mark, and James of Guardians of the Galaxy fame) and directed by David Yarovesky. The premise “what if Superman but EVIL” is a solid one, but could easily veer off the rails if not handled properly. So was this the horror/superhero mashup we’ve been waiting for or a clumsy excuse to cash in on an easy comic book mythos? Well...

I’d say it’s solidly in the former camp, with strong performances and realistic terror leading up to an unfortunately lackluster ending. 

Some thoughts:

This movie doesn’t work without a powerhouse unnerving performance from Brandon, and Jackson A. Dunn does not disappoint. Probably my favorite review of his unsettling vibes was Wife’s, who leaned over and whispered to me, “He reminds me of a tiny Robert California.”

Other notable performances from both Elizabeth Banks and David Denman (how I’ve missed him since The Office!) who are both given a lot of juicy material to work with and get to showcase a great amount of range as the parents of lil evil Superman. The disbelief, shock, horror, grief, and in spite of everything, love they feel for Brandon is all on display and you really believe in the dynamics of this little family and their devotion to each other.

All of the wallpaper in this house is the scariest/ugliest I’ve ever seen. I’ve been in more houses in small town Kansas than these production designers, I guaran-damn-tee it, and on behalf of them all I am OFFENDED.

I’m so glad I never had to have the guy version of the sex talk because this is so awkward I want to die, but also incredibly heteronormative and disturbingly non-comprehensive. To anybody who’s a parent out there, I know it’s weird and uncomfortable but do a better job than this when talking to your kids about sex.

The pace is lightning quick, and the movie flies by at a brisk 93 minutes. I almost wish there had been more of a slow build at the beginning especially, in which Brandon keeps having weird things happen and maybe experiencing a bit more inner turmoil about the consequences of those things, but I don’t think the film suffers for its briskness.

A boy confronting a terrified girl by saying, “I brought you flowers” and “I learned I’m special and you’re one of the only people in the world who sees how special I am” while she cries, cowering before him, is about the best visual representation of toxic masculinity I’ve ever seen onscreen. 

I know the trailer gives you fair warning, but I am here to tell you that I am really not a fan of EYE VIOLENCE. 

On that note - not that it’s that surprising considering James Gunn’s previous work like Slither or The Belko Experiment - the violence that Brandon is capable of inflicting is creative, vindictive, and really fucking bloody. There’s no shying away from some real gory killshots here, and it’s pretty damn effective (if a tad stomach-churning) at portraying just how breakable our dumb little meat suits are when confronted with a virtually invincible superpowered entity from another world.

My favorite character might just be Noah (Matt Jones), whom you might recognize as Badger from Breaking Bad, as Brandon’s uncle and the only person who seems to have a sensible reaction to Brandon’s superpowered violence. This manifests by him saying a lot of “what the fuck what the fuuuuuuck” and “oh god this is bad this is really bad” and I appreciate that kind of everyman representation on screen because it really resonates, ya know?

Can we all agree that nothing good comes from inside meteors? Exhibit A: the Blob. Exhibit B: the Queller from the one weird episode of Buffy that proved aliens existed and was never mentioned again. Exhibit C: the green plant stuff that killed Stephen King in Creepshow. I mean really, Superman is the only example that doesn’t end in tears, and that really depends on who you’re talking to. Leave meteorites alone, people!

In terms of suspense/horror movie logic, everyone’s actions here make quite a bit of sense, which is a nice change of pace! Except for one - if you thought someone was an actual invincible alien that was killing people, why would you think that a dinky-ass hunting rifle would be enough to even make a dent? 

In regards to the ending, I think it’s a damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don’t scenario. You either get a cheapish cop-out happy ending because you like these characters and you want good to prevail OR you get a bleak as fuck but realistic depressing ending because Brandon is literally unstoppable. There’s not really any other option that feels earned, so you’re left with one of two sucky choices, and I wish there was a way around that but I’m not a professional screenwriter, so I think maybe there isn’t and the end of the film leaves you feeling sort of bloodless and empty about the whole thing as a result. Side note - this dilemma of what to do against an overpowered character is why Superman is kind of the fucking worst FIGHT ME.

Did I Cry? Only internally at the aforementioned eye violence.

Like most horror/suspense movies, you’ve got an A+ premise here that can’t quite sustain itself all the way through to a killer ending, but that’s not to say this isn’t worth watching. If you’re a fan of the either the horror or superhero genres, you could do much worse.
