So that no one gets confused, this happens in an alternate universe where First Lady actually did file for divorce from Jack. The timeline is a little different as well.

It was around 1 AM when your phone rang and you immediately rolled your eyes because you knew who it was.

The special ringtone that you still hadn't changed because you just couldn't bring yourself to do it. At least not yet anyway.

Your ex-husband.

You had never thought in a million years that you would be divorced from your high school sweetheart, but here you were.

The last straw that broke the camel's back was him not fully being supportive of you as your own career was taking off. Time and time again, he would disappoint you and disrespect you and you came to the conclusion that this wasn't the same person that you married and that person you had fallen in love with when you were fifteen was long gone. T here were rumors circulating about him cheating on you with your close friend Taylor Rooks, but he denied it until he was blue in the face that he would never step out on you and hasn’s stepped out on you for the entire time that you were in a relationship.

The two of you had been fully separated for a year and a half, but the divorce got finalized a few months ago.

When you told him that you wanted a divorce, at first he welcomed the idea and you remember how badly it hurt to see his reaction, acting as if he didn’t want to try to do anything to fix it. But then a week later, he called you on facetime bawling his eyes out with snot running down his face and begging you not to.

At first PG was trying to stay out of it and remain neutral, but they then began to take sides and expressed that you were a difficult person to work with and be around which you were extremely hurt by since you would do anything for them and in short, ended up cutting them off. However, you honestly thought it was because of their loyalty to Jack since they had known him longer.

You were still the first lady of Private Garden and Jack had told you that it would never change no matter what had happened between the two of you.

However, when it came to Urban he was trying to do everything he possibly could for the two of you to get back together, but you wouldn't budge. He was basically stuck in the middle and he wanted out. Jack would blame you and you would blame Jack all while Urban was simply trying to keep the peace.

The one person that you shouldn't have been surprised by was Neelam, but you still were. You found out that she was rejoicing because of the divorce since she felt that you had been holding Jack back from the beginning and knew after the two of you made up that she still didn't like you despite her actions showing something different.

She actually tried to call you to plead her case, but in your mind the damage had already been done.

As much as Clay would joke around about you divorcing Jack, it hit him like a ton of bricks when the news actually broke and was genuinely upset. The first thing he did was call you to make sure that you were okay because he knew how Jack had been treating you for those last few months and he didn’t like it one bit.

But, you weren't going back on your word no matter what. Then when you found out you were pregnant with not only one baby, but three, Jack pleaded with you once again to take him back, but you still refused. Deep down, you knew that you still loved him, but you didn't think that you were in love with him anymore. The two of you definitely shouldn't have been sleeping together while going through the divorce so you were definitely both surprised when it happened.

Or were you just lying to yourself?

Now you were about three months along and needed all the sleep that you could get, but obviously that didn't matter to him. It had taken you forever to get comfortable and he was about to get an earful from you.

“Jackman, it is one in the morning. What do you want?” You asked while finally rolling over and answering your phone.

“I know. I'm sorry to call you this late, but I didn't check on you earlier like I promised. Are you okay? How are the babies?”

“You mean to tell me this couldn't wait? Sweet gesture I admit but we're fine and trying to sleep.”

“No, I needed to check on my girl. Can you come to the studio real quick?”

“Are you…? Jackman, are you deaf? And I'm not your girl anymore. We have literally been divorced for four months now.”

“Please baby.” Jack pleaded once again and all you did was throw your head back in frustration.

“You have lost the right to call me that.”

“I… just for a little bit? I'm working on something and want you to hear it.”

“How do you even know I'm in Louisville?”

“Because you still share your location with me or did you forget?”

Well fuck.

“I'll be there in fifteen minutes. I'm staying for an hour and you better not be on no bullshit and waste my time.”

“I promise it'll be worthwhile.”

Once you got to the studio and made your way inside, you were surprised to see him in there by himself. When he heard your footsteps, he immediately turned around to greet you.

He caught you off guard by bringing you into a hug and kissing your forehead. He looked so good, but you knew better. You promised yourself that you wouldn't get roped back in.

Besides, you were already pregnant.

“It's good to see you.”

“Jackman, you saw me three days ago at my doctor's appointment. Can you just play me the song so that I can go home and sleep?”

“Damn, okay. I forgot how impatient your ass was sometimes.”

“Hmm, my impatient ass put up with your bullshit for an entire year, so I would rethink that statement if I were you.” You said while rolling your eyes and all he did was sigh.

“I didn't ask you to come here to fight with you.” He said pulling the chair out so that you could sit down.

“Let's hear it then. What's it called?”

“Lovin’ On Me.” He answered as he sat down next to you.

You sat there in silence as you listened to it and you can admit that you definitely liked it. Once it was finished, he simply turned to you to ask you what you thought about it.

“Sooo, what do you think?”

“I like it.”

“Any suggestions or anything I could do better?”

“No, I like it just the way it is. It'll definitely chart. Now was that all? Can I leave?” You asked as you tried to get up, but he immediately stopped you by pulling you into his lap.

“Hold on, what are you in such a rush for? I just want to talk. You got someone else waiting in my spot in your bed?”

“I…. Talk about what?”

“How I've been wanting for us to try this again. You know I still love you.” He replied as he kissed your cheek and all you did was sigh.

“The ink isn't even dry on the damn divorce papers.”

“I… Look, I promise that things will be different. You know you're my favorite girl to be around.”

“Oh, so you have other ones? Like Taylor for example?”

“Y/N, please. I've been fucking miserable without you and for the last damn time I did NOT cheat on you especially with one of your best friends.”

“And who's fault is that? And I don’t know if I’ll ever believe you.”

“I know I have no one to blame but myself and I take full responsibility for it.”

“Hmm, that's a first.”

“Can we stop with the sarcasm for a minute?”

You turned to look at him and simply nodded your head.

“I want to prove it to you if you give me the chance. You don't have to give me an answer right now, but just think about it. Can you at least do that for me, pretty girl?”

You knew when he called you ‘pretty girl’ that it was over and that you could feel yourself about to fold.

All you did was nod your head as Jack leaned in to bring his lips to yours to capture you into a kiss and you couldn’t help but to kiss him back. He then deepened it and slipped his hand into your leggings and slowly began to rub small circles on the outside of your thong that you were wearing.

“Look how wet you are for me. No one can get you wet like I do. You want me to take care of that for you?”

All you did was whimper in response and he simply smirked before letting out a small laugh.

“I take that as a yes. Spread your legs for me baby and let me work.”

You immediately obliged as he now slowly started to massage your clit before slipping two of his fingers inside of you.

“Shiiit.”

“Shh, we have to be quiet. Be a good girl for me.” Jack said as he then added another finger and increased his pace of them pumping in and out of you while placing kisses along your neck.

It wasn't long before you hit your peak and released all over his fingers and he immediately put them in his mouth. He let you ride out your high before he began tugging on your leggings.

“Take these off. I want to see that pretty pussy that I missed so much.”

Once you did, he carried you over to the couch that was in the corner of the studio and laid you down while slowly climbing on top of you.

“Let me taste you first.” Was all he had to say before he parted your legs.

You simply peeled off your shirt while throwing it across the room and Jack took notice that you didn't have on a bra as your pierced nipples were on full display.

“Damn, a sight that I never get tired of.” He quietly said before hovering over you and placing one of them in his mouth and sucking lightly making you moan.

“I can't wait to see how full they'll get in a few months.” He whispered as he then began to suck harder as he rolled the other one through his fingers.

Hearing your moans and whimpers underneath him was bringing Jack satisfaction in knowing that he could still have this effect on you. Even though it's only been a few months, this is the longest amount of time that the two of you had spent with one another besides the time that the triplets were conceived.

He quickly switched to the other one as you were trying to reach your hand down to massage your clit, but he quickly pushed your hand away.

“I'll suck your clit in a minute, be patient. I want to take all of this in.”

If you were only wet before, you knew that there was now a waterfall between your legs. Jack continued with his task of sucking on your left nipple when out of nowhere another orgasm hit you like a ton of bricks making him smirk.

“You know good and damn well I'm the only one who has this effect on you and can fuck you this good. Now let me eat my favorite meal.” Was all you heard before you felt him take one long lick across your folds making you moan.

“And you better stay still.”

As Jack continued pleasuring you, you felt him slip two fingers into you before sucking on your clit as promised and making you gasp.

“Ooohh, fuckkkk.” You exclaimed as you grabbed a handful of Jack’s hair to pull him closer. He wasn't letting up and you knew good and damn well that he was nowhere near done with you.

The familiar feeling was building in your stomach and you knew that you were close.

“Baby, I…”

“Oh, now I'm your baby because I'm making you feel good?” Jack asked as he smirked before focusing back on you.

You didn't even have time to answer him before you ended up squirting all over his face making you gasp, but he still continued to suck on your clit as you were trying to catch your breath.

“Yes, that's my good girl. You gonna to do it again for me? You gonna squirt all over my face?” Jack asked as his mouth went back on you and all you could do was nod to answer him. He now had a hold on both of your legs to pull you closer to him if that was possible.

Not even three minutes had passed before you once again squirted all over his face and Jack had to reach up to cover your mouth with his hand in order for you to keep quiet.

He was getting bricked up by the moment with hearing your whimpers and moans for him and knew that he needed relief and needed it fast. He undid his pants and got his boxer briefs down in record time and was simply stroking himself as he peered down at you.

You reached up in order to take him in your mouth but he simply shook his head no and gently pushed you back down.

“You ready, princess?” He asked you and you simply nodded.

“I asked you a question so you need to open up your mouth and tell me what you want.”

“I want you to fuck me.”

“You want daddy to fuck you? You sure?” Jack asked while smirking and you were close to rolling your eyes, but if you would have done so, he would have dragged this out even longer.

“Yes. You already interrupted my sleep so it's the least that you can do.”

“Hmm, fair enough.” Jack answered you as he laughed.

Jack slowly slid into you bottoming out as he let out a loud moan and series of curses.

“Fuck, I forgot how good you feel around me.”

It took you a second to adjust and he gave you a few moments before he started to move. But he didn’t do so without your permission.

“Move.”

“Don't have to tell me twice.” Was all he said before you felt nice, slow, and deep strokes but you knew that this wasn't going to last long. Sure enough Jack then placed your legs on his shoulders and began pounding into you.

“That's my good girl. Look at you taking all this dick. You missed me didn't you? Even if you say no, your body is saying otherwise.”

“Mmm, baby.” Was all you could breathe out before you wrapped your arms around Jack’s neck and now your noses were touching. He simply caught you in a kiss as he continued to pound into you.

“Open your pretty mouth.” He whispered as he broke the kiss and you happily obliged as he then spit in your mouth and quickly swallowed.

“Good girl.” Jack breathed out before placing his right hand on your neck and squeezing while keeping his same pace.

“Who fucks you as good as me, princess? Huh?”

“No one.” You quickly breathed out as Jack was now massaging your clit.

“And don’t you ever fucking forget it. This pussy is mine and mine only. You understand?” Jack asked and when you didn't answer, he squeezed your neck tighter, but not tight enough for it to hurt so that you would answer him.

“I thought I asked you a question. I need to hear you say that it's mine.”

“It's yours, just let me cum damn it!”

Your orgasm then hit you and you felt as if you were seeing stars as you laid underneath Jack whimpering. You felt him then begin to move again before he asked you to open your mouth.

“You want me to cum in that pretty mouth? Open wide for me baby. Fuck I'm close. Play with your clit for me.”

You did as you were told before you sat up and before you could take him in your mouth, cum started releasing and you quickly licked it up. Once you were done, you took him in your mouth and got the rest of it like he asked.

Once he pulled himself from your mouth, he reached down to kiss you before laying down on top of you.

“Damn, I missed this and I missed you.” Jack quietly said as you were drawing small circles on his back.

“I missed you too.”

The two of you were quiet before he spoke up again.

“Just take your time and think about what I said. No rush. I’m not going anywhere and I’ll wait as long as I have to.”

“Okay.”

After simply laying with Jack for about another hour or so, he helped you get dressed before walking you out to your car and placing another kiss on your cheeks, forehead, and your lips last.

“I love you.” He breathed out, but when you started to speak, he cut you off.

“If you're not ready to say it yet, it's fine. But my feelings towards you haven't changed. I know it might take a while if we actually do this again.”

“Just give me some time.”

“Whatever you need, baby.” Jack replied as he helped you step up into your G Wagon that he had bought you for Valentine’s Day two years ago.

“How about a goodnight kiss before you leave?” He asked while wiggling his eyebrows, making you laugh but you soon caved.

“Drive safe and let me know when you get home.”

—-

The two of you had been spending more and more time together as he was working on his new album and a lot of that time was either spent in the studio or with him fucking your brains out. Over the course of the next few months, you decided to let Jack move back in with you and kept it quiet because the last thing you would ever ask was for someone’s opinion about it. You were two adults who could do what you both wanted.

It was early in the day and Jack had mentioned about him wanting to go to the studio early so that he could come back and spend time with you seeing as your due date was getting closer.

He was currently begging you for more kisses even though you had given him several already.

“Jackman, I have been giving you kisses for close to thirty minutes. You should have been left.” You said as he was now kissing down your neck and attempting to lift up your shirt.

“Just a few more.”

“I’ll be here when you come back! I’m not going anywhere, I promise.”

“Last time you told me that, you ended up divorcing me.”

“Don’t push it. Now do you want kisses or not?” You replied as you eyed him.

“Yes, please.”

You reached up to place several kisses on his lips and he eagerly kissed you back. When the two of you broke apart, he simply placed another one on the tip of your nose before smiling at you.

“I’ll be back soon, okay?”

“Okay, I’ll be here.”

“And call me if you need or want anything. Like food, something to drink, my dick. You know, the usual.”

“BYE JACKMAN.”

“Okay, I’m going! I’m going!”

You saw to it that he got in his car before you decided to go upstairs and into the nursery to start folding up clothes for the triplets. You couldn’t exactly bend down in order to get them in the last drawer in the dresser and would have to wait for Jack, but you were still on a mission to do what you could in the meantime so that there was less to do later.

As you were folding one of the last onesies, you suddenly got a facetime call from Taylor and you immediately answered.

The two of you had only spoken through text when the news broke since there had been rumors surrounding her and Jack. In your heart of hearts, you don’t think that she would betray you in that matter, but you weren’t sure considering how PG ended up treating you when they found out that you had filed for divorce.

“Hey.” You heard her say as you moved all of the neatly folded clothes to the left of you.

“Hi.”

“So, how are you? How have you been? What’s new? I miss you and I’m worried about you.”

“Shouldn’t you be asking my ex-husband that?” You immediately shot at her and all she did was sigh.

“Y/N, please. I would never hurt you like that. Both of you mean a lot to me and I would never want to be the cause of two of my closest friends’ marriage ending. I would never lie to you, I can promise you that nothing happened. He did see me that night because he was crying his eyes out and bawling over you because at that point, he knew it was inevitable and that you were going to file for divorce.”

“Then why didn’t he simply tell me that?” You asked her, but all you got was a shrug in response.

“I guess because he knew that he wasn’t going to be able to change your mind.”

“Hmm.”

“If I may ask, how are the two of you? I heard that some reconciliation may be happening?”

“Um, it’s… I guess you can call it that. Just taking it slow and steady at the moment despite me knowing him since I was fourteen. It just got to the point where I didn’t recognize the person that I had married and I wanted out.”

“That’s fair, but I have another question.”

“Yes?”

“When you do have the babies seeing as the two of you are officially divorced, are you going to file for full custody?”

“What? Why?”

“Well, Jack is always busy and always on the go. That just seems to make more sense to me. This is not me trying to get you to one up Jack. I’m thinking of the kids.”

“Taylor, do you not realize how messy that could get? I mean thank goodness the divorce wasn’t because he basically gave me everything but to keep his kids from him?”

“You aren’t keeping him from them, it was just a suggestion so that they could grow up in a stable environment. That’s all. I meant no harm by it. Even if you two are on good terms now, you never know what could happen.”

What you didn’t know was that Jack had forgotten his phone charger and came back to the house to get it from your shared bedroom. He didn’t expect to hear a snippet of your conversation with Taylor and her basically suggesting that you file for full custody but he also didn’t hear you disagree with her. This obviously made him feel some type of way and immediately felt like these last few months had been a waste of time if this was what you were going to do all along. Bottom line was that he couldn't trust you and he was determined to hurt you first before you hurt him.

Something had been bothering Jack for the last few days and despite him saying that he was okay and that it was nothing to worry about, you couldn’t help but to feel uneasy. He had been spending less and less time with you and you made it a point to bring it up tonight before the two of you went to bed. He was spending longer hours at the studio than before which you understood since his album was getting closer to dropping, but something didn’t feel right.

That was where he was currently when you got a notification on your phone saying that he had posted a new reel for a song entitled “Drive Safe.” You admit that you were excited seeing as that was what he would always tell you before the two of you parted ways, but it took a turn for the worst as you started listening to it and scrolling through the comments.

jackharlow: drive safe prod by 2forwoyne

jackharlowsource: the dynamic duo is back! colebennett: neelam ain't a fan of her neelamthadhani: Mhmmm jackandy/naremyparents: all I know is this better not be about y/ninsta urbandjack25: um if I was this girl, I would be throwing up right about now quiiso: absolute fireeee allthingsy/n: hmm well we known neelam never liked y/n so there's that y/ninsta: oh lol 🙃 urbandjack25: ahhhh shit here we go jackharlow: y/ninsta got something to say sweetheart? y/ninsta: jackharlow don't bother coming home is all I'm going to say jackharlowsource: WAIT ARE THEY BACK TOGETHER? SOMEONE FILL ME IN. I'M LOST. allthingsy/n: I knew it was about her. jack is always fucking something up. I hope she gets with Dua, Clay, Giveon, Drake, or Bryson.

When you heard the door open downstairs, you flew down the steps so that you could be face to face with him.

“JACKMAN, are you fucking serious? You plead and beg practically on your fucking knees for me to take you back and this is how you act? You write a song about me and make me feel like shit? That’s really what you think of me? The person who was once your wife?”

“YOU WERE THE ONE WHO WAS GOING TO FILE FOR FULL CUSTODY. BUT NOT IF I FUCKING DO IT FIRST.”

“What?! Where did you even get that from?”

“I heard you talking with Taylor! I forgot my phone charger and came back to get it and I overheard you two.”

All you could do was stare at him as he was now red in the face and fuming.

“Oh, don’t have much to say now do we?” He asked and you simply laughed to yourself.

“Then you obviously didn’t hear the part of the conversation where I disagreed with her and I said that it would get messy and that I would never do anything to keep you from your children.”

“Wait, what?”

“She was the one who suggested it, saying that it would be a more stable environment for them to grow up in one place.”

“Oh….”

“And I told her no.”

“Umm…”

“Jackman, get out.”

“I… wait….”

“What am I waiting for? You fucking embarassed me with that song and this isn’t the first time that you’ve embarrassed me in front of the entire world. The dead giveaway was saying Neelam doesn’t like her and telling me to drive safe. That’s what you would always tell me any time we leave each other. You took shots at me left and right and the sad part is because of who I am, you fucking know that I would do anything for you but I don’t get that same treatment in return. But now, we are not EVER getting married again. If you cannot simply come to me and ask me about something for clarification then we don’t need to be together.”

“Baby, I can fix this. Just let me fix it.”

“How? Fucking how, Jackman? The song has been released and it’s out for the world to see. There’s no coming back from that.”

“I’m sorry…”

“I bet you are.” You replied with tears pricking the corner of your eyes, but you were determined to not let them fall.

“I just need…”

“No. You don’t need another chance. We are done here. Pack your shit and get the fuck out of my house. At this rate because of what you pulled, you’ll be lucky if I even let you in the delivery room. Do not call me, do not text me, do not DM me, do not send a fucking carrier pigeon to get a message across to me. We.are.done. Done for good this time. And because of what you did, I just might file for full custody since our children don’t know how immature their father is. And on that note, good night and good day to you.”

Fate, After All | Joel Miller — Epilogue

warnings: pregnancy, childbirth, cursing, mentions of smut but not super explicitly detailed, tooth-rotting fluff, no-outbreak! Joel, no use of y/n. also, I’ve never personally given birth so I have no idea how the whole process works lol this has major inaccuracy so just go with it pls :’) this is very poorly written and not my best work at all but y’know, Joel with a baby is precious

word count: 1k+

series masterlist

“Babe, what about this one?” You hold up a pink floral onesie to your protruding belly, looking up at Joel. You were at Target with him shopping for some last minute things before your daughter’s arrival.

It’d been a little over two years since you and Joel got married, and you found out you were pregnant eight months ago. You’ll never forget the look on Joel’s face when you showed him the multiple pregnancy tests you’d taken. You’d been feeling unwell for a few weeks prior to taking the tests, blaming it on stress from work. But then you missed your period, and you had an inkling that you might be pregnant.

Sure enough, you were right. You didn’t know who was more excited about it, though—Joel or Sarah. You were plenty excited and so ready to be a mom of two, but Sarah bawled her eyes out when she found out she was going to be a big sister and Joel would only talk about it for days on end.

You remember when you told your parents too, calling them up telling them that you and Joel could finally repay them for the honeymoon they’d so sweetly gifted you. Your mom cried tears of joy, and your dad got a little misty-eyed.

And when you and Joel found out the baby was going to be a girl? You both lost it. Joel loved being a girl dad so much, and he knew you’d been such a wonderful mother figure to Sarah, that you’d be the best mom to your little girl.

“I love it, darlin’.” Joel takes the onesie carefully from you, admiring how tiny it was. He’d completely forgotten how small newborns are.

You and Joel both thought for sure you were going to get pregnant on your honeymoon, with the way you two couldn’t keep your hands off of each other using every surface of your room possible to go at it. You had no idea your libido was so high. Neither did Joel.

Even now, with your hormones raging, you craved Joel so badly. He was terrified at first, not wanting to ‘hurt the baby’, but the nurses at the third ultrasound checkup told him it was completely okay—in fact, they encouraged it.

Joel was tender with you in bed (and in general) since you’ve been pregnant, and honestly, you thought it was so sweet. He wouldn’t let you lift a finger if he could help it, but you had to remind him that you had to do things for yourself, too. Though, you loved that he was so careful and gentle. He was before, but he’s a little bit moreso now.

Your focus shifted back to reality, Joel looking at you with a small smile.

“What?”

“You’re so beautiful, y’know that?” Joel asks as he steps to you, resting his hands on the sides of your tummy.

You huff a small laugh, shaking your head. “Sure don’t feel like it.”

“You’re glowing, sweetheart. You’re carryin’ our child and you look damn good doin’ it.” He leans down to kiss you gently.

“This baby has made you such a softie, Miller.” You tease, grasping the side of his face as he chuckles. The crow’s feet around his eyes showcase in fullness, displaying how truly happy he felt.

“What can I say? I love all three of my girls more than anything in the world.” He kisses your forehead, pulling back from you before picking up another pair of shoes that he shows you—big, soft, brown eyes on display for you.

A few weeks later, you’re sitting on the couch with Joel as you rest your eyes while he gave you a foot massage. You told him constantly that he didn’t need to do that, but he insisted on the sweet gesture. It was quiet in the house; it’d been that way since Sarah left for college. You and Joel were definitely lively people, but Sarah always kept the conversation going with her wittiness and smarts.

Recently, you’d been having Braxton Hicks, so pain would come and subside. You were due in only just a couple of days, so any time now your little one could choose her arrival. Your whole body was so sore and just the thought of even getting up to do something made you want to cry. You were extremely emotional even moreso now, and Joel was taking your moods graciously.

It wasn’t too late into the night, so when Joel’s phone rang, you knew it was Sarah. She’d do check-ins every couple of days to make sure you were okay, and just to say hi. She was planning on flying back to Texas the next day, so you were happy you got to see her soon.

“Hey babydoll.” Joel answered softly, probably thinking you were asleep by now.

“No, mom’s sleeping right now. Let her get some rest. I’ll call you immediately if anything happens or changes, okay?”

Your heart clenched in warmth at the fact that Sarah referred you to ‘mom’. She’d been doing that since you and Joel got back from your honeymoon, and you loved it every time. You truly don’t think you’ll get over it, probably ever. It meant a lot to you that she was comfortable with you and liked to call you that.

You shot your hand out to retrieve the phone from Joel, and he chuckled, handing it over.

“Hello?” You say, voice a little hoarse from not talking for awhile.

“Hey, mom! How are you?” Sarah’s cheerful voice rung through the other line, and you smiled softly.

“I’m hurting everywhere. Can’t wait to get your sister out.” You half-joke.

“I’m sorry you’re in pain. Tell dad to run you an epsom salt bath or something to relieve your pain.” The idea didn’t seem half bad, but the thought of getting up and moving seemed like hell.

“I think I’ve tortured your father enough the past nine months with mood swings and emotions.” You laugh, running your free hand over your hard belly. Joel shakes his head at you and cracked a smile, softly patting your shin.

“Tell him to suck it up. He’s not the one that has to push a whole human out of him.”

“I’m sure he’d love to hear that one.”

“I’ll tell him, don’t worry mom. Get some rest. I love you.”

You huff a laugh at her slight overprotectiveness. “I love you too baby girl, can’t wait to see you tomorrow. Have a safe flight, okay?”

“I will! Bye!” And the line went dead.

“I’d love to hear what?” Joel asks, cocking an eyebrow at you.

“I’ll let Sarah tell you that one.” You grin cheekily, handing his phone back to him. You were feeling really tired, so you groaned as you moved your legs off of Joel and sat up slowly.

“I’m gonna take me and this baby to bed. We’re tired.” You looked at Joel, who nodded.

“Let me join you.”

And that’s how the rest of the night went. Joel helped you upstairs, made sure you were comfy in bed, and got behind you to spoon you the rest of the night.

It wasn’t until around two in the morning that you felt a really bad contraction. You’d never had one this strong before, and when they kept coming at least fifteen minutes apart, you woke Joel.

“Joel.” You whispered, taking his hand that rested on your stomach to squeeze it. He didn’t wake at the first attempt, but another contraction washed over you, this time much more painful.

“Fuck. Joel.” You said louder, and this time, he groggily hummed.

“You okay sweetheart?” He sleepily said, and you gave his hand a squeeze.

“No. My contractions hurt really bad.” You say, and he sits up behind you.

“Do we need to go to the hospital?”

“I think so.”

Joel gets out of bed swiftly, putting on some sweats and a t-shirt before helping you sit up. You try to focus on your breathing, but the pain is really starting to bother you. He helps you dress into some biker shorts and an oversized t-shirt of his, grabbing your hospital bag before he helps you slip on your slippers with a grip at the bottom.

He leads you down the stairs ever so carefully, grabbing the keys and his wallet from the front table by the door before heading outside with you. He locked up as fast as he could and got you into his truck, helping you buckle in. Joel had completely forgotten about the rush and adrenaline that comes with having a baby. It’d been so long since he’s experienced it, so he was trying to keep it together as best as possible for your sake.

You closed your eyes as you rested your head on the back of the headrest, one hand gripping the door handle inside and the other one onto the seat.

Joel starts the truck up, throwing it into reverse before taking off down the road. Luckily there was barely any cars on the road at this hour, so you wouldn’t get stuck in any traffic.

Joel flipped open his phone and speed dialed Tommy, who picked up after the third ring.

“Hey, brother. What’s up?”

“Hey Tommy. We’re headed to the hospital now. Her contractions are pretty bad and not super far apart.” Joel explains, trying to drive to the hospital with urgency but also not break any laws.

“Oh, oh shit. Okay. Do you need me to do anything?”

“Uh, just– just pick Sarah up from the airport later today so you both can come to the hospital at the same time. I’ll call you if I need anything else. I gotta go.” Joel’s rushed words almost made his brother chuckle.

“You got it, brother. And Joel? Don’t worry. She’s got this, and so do you. Be the best support system you can be to her, yeah?”

“Yeah. Got it. I’ll call you when I can.”

“Bye.”

The line went dead as you both neared the hospital, and Joel luckily found parking near the front. He hopped out and jogged to the other side, opening your door to help you out of the truck. He grabbed the hospital bag and slung an arm around your lower back and around to the side of your tummy so you could lean yourself into him if you needed to. He locked the truck, walking at your pace up to the front doors.

The receptionist, who looked bored out of her mind, looked up beyond the glasses perched on the bridge of her nose.

“Um, my wife– she’s– her contractions are strong and not far apart.” Joel explains as you try to not think about the excruciating pain you’re feeling.

“Oh, honey, let’s get you checked in real quick and we’ll get you a wheelchair.” The receptionist asked Joel the few questions, because in all honesty, your mind was foggy and unfocused. You just wanted to lay down in a bed with some medicine that’ll make you feel better.

A nurse brought a wheelchair and took you up to the labor and delivery unit of the hospital, checking you into your room.

After you changed into the hospital gown, the nurses took some tests and checked how much you were dilated. You were too tired to even pay attention to what was going on around you, but one nurse tapped your shin softly.

“Hey mom, how’re you holdin’ up?” Her Southern drawl was strong, but she sounded sweet.

“‘M okay. In a bit of pain.” You mumbled, trying your best to look at her clearly.

“Well I have good news. You’re about five centimeters dilated, so you can get an epidural if you want one.”

“Please. This pain is nearly unbearable.” You chuckle nervously, and Joel grips your hand. You look up and him and smile as he leans down to give you a soft kiss.

“You’re doing amazing, mama.” He says, and you nearly melt into the bed. He was so damn sweet to you, even in the most challenging of situations.

“Alright, we’ll schedule you for one asap and get an anesthesiologist in here to give you one. Sound good?” She looks down at you, and you nod.

“Thank you.” You say before she exits the room, and it’s just you and Joel. Joel pulls up a chair beside the bed, taking your hand in his and kissing the back of it gently.

“Gotta call Sarah and my parents.” You murmur, eyes closing in exhaustion.

“Don’t worry sweetheart, I will right now.” Joel gave your hand a squeeze before you completely knocked out.

A few hours later, you woke up to see Sarah and your mom in the room. You’d been completely knocked out this entire time, except for when they gave you the epidural. Your surprise was evident to see them, and you smiled tiredly.

“You’re here.” You say, voice gravelly.

“Hey mom!” Sarah whispers, bending down to give you a hug and a kiss on the head.

“Hey kiddo. Where’s dad?”

“Went to get a cup of coffee with uncle Tommy in the cafeteria downstairs.” She smiles, and you nod. You look to your mom who had tears in her eyes, and you suddenly began to worry.

“Mom? What’s wrong?” Your voice is a bit panicked, and your heart rate on the monitor noticeably picked up.

“Oh nothing baby! Relax, relax,” She brushes your hair away from your face, cupping your cheek with her hand. “I’m just so happy for you. I’m happy you’re getting some rest.” She grins at you, and you nod.

“The epidural really knocked me out.” You chuckle, feeling a strong pressure in your pelvic area. You wince, shifting uncomfortably.

“Oh baby, that’s a contraction. Nurse said you’re about seven centimeters now.” She said, and your eyes widen. Before you could respond, there was a soft knock at the door as Joel and Tommy appeared.

“Hey sweetheart. How you feelin’?” Joel asks as he sets his cup of coffee down, kissing your forehead.

“Tired, but fine.” You weakly smile, and Tommy bends to give you a hug.

“You got this sis. Squeeze Joel’s hand as haaard as ya need to.” He winks at you, and you laugh.

“Well he is the one who got me like this after all.” You quirk an eyebrow, and Joel holds his hands up in defense.

“Hey hey hey, it takes two to tango darlin’.” He says.

“That it does.” Exhaustion was overwhelming you, and your eyes were starting to drift close without you even noticing.

“Let’s let her and Joel have some privacy. Let her get some rest.” Your mom suggested, leaving Sarah and Tommy to follow out of the room after her.

“Come cuddle with me.” You weakly reach out to Joel, and he huffs a laugh.

“Pretty sure ‘m not supposed to get on the bed with you, darlin’.”

“Who cares. I want my husband to hold me.” You pout, and he softly chuckles. You hear him take off his boots, carefully climbing into the small hospital bed with you. He wraps his arms around your shoulders as you nuzzle yourself into his chest, his scent and warmth surrounding you. You were out like a light again in no time.

It didn’t even feel like five minutes later to you when you’d been woken up by the nurse, but apparently it’d been a couple more hours.

“Hey hon. You’re almost fully dilated. We’re gonna need to prep you.” The nurse spoke softly, and you looked at Joel who was sitting in the chair next to your bed. His head rested on the side of the bed as he held your hand in his. You smiled softly at the sight before regretfully shaking him awake.

“Babe. Wake up.” You coo softly, and he opens his eyes. He looks at you wearily, trying to wake up fast.

“You okay?” He asks, rubbing his thumb on the back of your hand.

“Yeah. Nurse says I’m almost fully dilated so they have to prep me now.” You give his hand a squeeze, and he nods.

“You’ve got this, baby. I’m going to be right by your side through it all.”

And he was right. He was.

Once you were fully dilated, they had you starting to push, and god you’ve never felt a more soul crushing pain in your life. You were trying to steady your breathing, but it was getting harder for you to focus. Pain overtook your whole being and you started to sob.

“I can’t do this, I can’t do this.” You cried, shutting your eyes tightly.

“Yes you can, baby. You’re doing so good. So good. She’ll be here in no time.” Joel encouraged, clasping your hand as he kissed your temple repeatedly. He kept whispering sweet encouragements into your ear, being the supporting husband you knew he’d be. You just couldn’t fathom the pain you were going through.

“I can see the head, mama! Just a couple of more big pushes and she’ll be out.” The nurse was trying to talk you through it.

It’s like the next few pushes you completely blacked out—all you remember is the sound of your silent screams, a ‘there she is! I see her!’ from the nurse, and the sweet cry of your baby girl.

“She’s here, mama. You did it! Congratulations!” The nurse set her onto your bare skin, and you sobbed. You looked down at her, then up at Joel, who’d also happened to be crying. He gave you a kiss and rubbed the back of your head as he looked back down at his newest daughter.

The nurses took her to get her cleaned and weigh her before swaddling her and giving her back to you.

“She’s perfect.” You cry, knuckle running over her cheek as gently as possible.

“She is. You did it, sweetheart. I’m so proud of you. She’s here.” Joel cried, and you leaned in to him as he looked down at the both of you.

“So what’s her name?” The nurse asks, smiling at the three of you.

“Sophia Evelyn Miller.” Joel says, his chest swelling with pride. You gently handed him his tiny daughter, as she cooed softly in his strong arms. She was safe and sound, a silent promise Joel made to all three of you that he would love and protect his girls until the end of time.

You’d given Joel everything he ever wanted—a loving wife, a mother figure to his first daughter, a bigger family, and a house he could call a home with you and his girls in it. He doesn’t know how he got so lucky, but his heart was so full with love and pride. So much love for his three girls, and pride to call you his wife and Sarah and Sophia his daughters.

This was really the fate that the universe brought upon you two—

One you both will always cherish forever.

a/n: ahhh it’s finally done :’) sorry this epilogue wasn’t really all that great, I just wanted to give Joel the endgame with his new daughter and wife lol

hope u guys enjoyed this mini series <3 love u all forever. muah

as i expected throughout the whole episode i was so tense and with teary eyes. the whole damn episode. but i literally bawled my eyes out in three moments. the three of them made me stop watching to catch a breath and to just think about life and choices and stuff. i was so into them i felt sick to my stomach

1. when Babe kissed Babe's forehead three times, it got to me more than the whole scene of Babe realising Charlie was dead. it was so tender, full of regret of untold words, it was what Babe regretted not doing to Charlie before the race. it was a goodbye. it was a 'i cannot live without you'. a 'i respect and love you so much for everything you've done for me', a 'i do not deserve you', a 'you do not deserve this'. i felt it all. it was a detail that made all the difference to me and of which i am very thankful for. it was what my emotions needed to really make me go 'no! this is happening' and make me crumble

2. Babe alone at home with Charlie's gloves while reminiscing their times together. he remembered their first meeting as expected. but then he remembered moments that Charlie made him feel special, told him he is special, irrevocably and unconditionally told him he is the reason he ever tried to stop Tony. Babe knows that what Charlie has been doing is not for his own self, but for Babe. this moment Babe is feeling so much pain and so much guilt and it's palpable. and it's as if he feels like the gloves are the only good thing he gave to Charlie and he wants to hold on to them. he needs a physical thing to hold on to, given he doesn't have Charlie. he wants to keep the thing he gave to Charlie and thinks he likes the most. he wants to keep what he saw in Charlie's eyes was what he was most proud of. (Babe, news to you: you are it. you are what Charlie most wanted, most loved and most wanted to show off. you are what makes Charlie happy. you)

3. Alan and Dean's scene (PHENOMENAL) what a moment. seeing Sailub and Lee's emotions so raw that they are physically feeling it. that's the feeling i got. the hurting in their voices made me go crazy. i lost myself there. and i got the whole moment. Dean always felt like the outsider, haven't found his place and used that to self-pity, never spoke about it until recently and only now is doing something to not live in the shadows, but unfortunately by doing wrong decisions. they are family (remembering these men have no blood relatives, they are each others family and that's as valid as blood relatives. it's Family) i am sure they would support him if he decided to find his place somewhere on the racing world. but he was so desperate he decided to do it by siding with the person that has done most harm to his family members, and by harming a family member (i know nothing about mechanics, but he said it, he did want to scare Charlie so he would give up racing, so Dean was willing to make Charlie get into an accident to scare him). and Alan was so hurt. and i bet i know some traits of him so he must be thinking 'this is happening again within my family, the family i started, the people i sworn to protect, i must not be monitoring their feelings well, where did i do wrong, i definitely did something wrong'. but at the same time he knew Dean did a very bad thing, the was so hurt with Dean and so disappointed. and to make the (right!) choice of calling the police on a family member must be so hard. they will not be family like before. the trust was broken. and realising that this is the end, the way they physically gave up and bended. Alan grabbing him like he wants to embrace him still! i believe they get each other's point of view, but Dean was already so hurt by all these years (this boy has a fucking inner saboteur!) and false accusations but shattered by the fact that Alan could in fact, but to his eyes only now, show love towards him and Alan was so hurt that a family member hurt another family member (again) and still very regretful for what he could have done… this is unequivocally a breakup and it was very real and hurtful to watch

#this was very hard for me to write. i am grieving even though i know charlie didn't die but i am feeling it #i am grieving for a shattering family. for babe falling apart. for the hope going far away #i know netter days will come but for now i will mourn. i deserve this moment #thank you all the crew and actors for your unconditional love for the series and the great acting 👏🏻#pit babe the series #pit babe ep 10

Its not your fault..

pt #1

GN! Yuu

Warnings: Angst, death, blame, self hate

———————————————

“We did it…”

Today..the suffering ended.. but all good things never last..

“YUU! YUU! WE FINALLY DID IT!” Ace jumped from excitement and a little pain from breaking his ankle, everyone else was celebrating. The pain was over… they had won. “Yuu? Where are you..?” Everyone was so busy celebrating they didn’t notice a certain prefect missing from the bunch. “Geez, as soon as we find them we tell them tha— ….huh…?” Ace and Deuce suddenly stopped and their excited moods changed to a terrified expression.

“Yuu…? PLEASE TELL ME THAT ISN’T YOU..!” Ace stood up, ignoring the pain and sprinted to the silhouette of Yuu and Grim, Deuce followed closely after. Most of the students continued to celebrate, the house wardens however… they felt…off. Something was going to happen but they ignored the feeling and tried to be positive.

"YUU!" Riddle heard the shout and faced Ace and Deuce running towards your unmoving, bruised body. "Ace? Deuce..?" Riddle tried running after them but stumbled over exhaustion. Trey quickly caught Riddle before he completely fell over. "Riddle? You must be exhausted—Trey..! We need to find yuu.."

Ace and Deuces cries quickly quieted down the cheers of the students, some were denying what they were seeing. The whole mood changed from celebratory to grief stricken.

———————————————

"We are gathered here today to mourn the loss of a beloved figure"

Everyone was gathered, dressed in black, with sadness filling the room. This was the funeral they hosted for yuu. Everyone was separated and sorted in their dorms. The staff were sitting in the middle of the room with Grim sitting with them. Grim walked up to the center where the podium was. He looked down and began speaking.

“Yuu..m-my henchmen..was the only people who actually cared for me…I got into this s-chool because of them.” Grim sniffled and chocked on his tears, “I couldn’t have asked for a better h-human. No one can compare to them! No one!” Grim climbed down and ran to Ace and Deuce.

"I have a few words for Yuu. I wish..for one more moment with them..I wish I had gotten there in time..They were a good prefect and an even greater friend." Ace's hands clenched the podium, tears streaming down his face. Deuce was right behind him, rubbing his back, tears streaming down his face too. "Yuu helped me accept myself and my past..they told me that the past didn't matter as long as I try to better myself.. I remember how much support they showed me"

"I owe Yuu so much..they saved my life and helped me understand what was wrong and right..they helped me learn to listen to my heart..they were a great company to have" Riddle was trying his absolute best to not let tears fall, he was fidgeting a lot to keep his mind off the stray tears flowing down his face.

"Heh..the herbivore was a tough one that's for sure..the way that they stood up for what they believed in, they helped me know my own worth..Their memory will be carried on, I'm certain." Leona was definitely not the crying type but he was just as dejected. Ruggie could see tears forming in Leona's eyes but he quickly wiped them away.

"The prefect was surely made an impact on this school. They've been such a help for this school..they've been so much help to me. They never judged me, laughed at me, or mocked me when I showed them who I truly was. It's certainly no doubt that they will be missed." Azul quickly returned to his spot and hid behind Floyd and Jade who were being abnormally quiet. Behind them was Azul who was bawling his eyes out.

Kalim and Jamil stepped onto the podium, Kalim was saying his words with loud sobs in between. Jamil cleared his throat and began, " Who am I kidding...everything I wanted to say was already said. Yuu helped me realize that I'm my own person, not some servant who has to spend his whole life as just that. For that, I owe them a lot. They were a good person, i liked their company..a lot" Jamil helped Kalim walk back to his own seat, unnoticeable tears sliding down his cheek that he wiped away.

"Well..the ramshackle prefect helped so many people, including me. They taught me what true beauty is, its not just from outside but the inside too...God that sound so cheesy. I will certainly miss their compliments and them in general.." Vil elegantly stood behind the podium, a look of grief on his face but no tears dared to fall. It would certainly mess his makeup.

The next person was definitely not expected. Idia actually came out of his room with the help of Ortho. He hasn't been to a funeral since...the incident. He gulped and walked up to the center. "I-I’ll get this over with…Yuu was great person, they were like-able, brave, all great attributes of a main character…um..at first they seemed like a regular normie but…they were different. To them I wasn’t a shut-in, socially awkward otaku. I was a friend to them….Uh..! I’ll just go now..” Idia ran off the podium after his awkward yet heartfelt speech.

Everyone expected for Diasomnia’s prefect to step up. But he remained quiet, he had been crying internally and felt no need to step up, after all its his fault. Malleus blamed himself no matter how much times it was said that it wasn’t. He caused Yuu’s death, out of guilt he felt he wasn’t worthy of even speaking your name after what he did.

~Flashback~

”YUU..!” Grim shouted as the magic-less prefect was stuck under broken debris. “Ngh…! Grim just..go..” Yuu was struggling to get out of the broken ceiling pieces, until more magic was fired towards Yuu…magic that belonged to Malleus Draconia. It was too late, the magic had been fired before they could snap Malleus back to reality. All he could do now is fall unconscious seeing Yuu being crushed…

“Remember me Tsunotarou.. will ya..” His last memory was them smiling before he saw black.

~End~

He tightened his fists as the funeral was over. For the next few days, him along with the other people they befriended, visited their grave everyday. They gave their soul flowers, presents, company. Over the next few days, it hasn’t been the same.

The magic-less prefect of Ramshackle made such an impact of this school, it wasn’t the same. NRC hasn’t been the same. Students could only see the statue of the once beloved and respected Yuu. As for Yuu’s close friends, they’ve changed a lot.

15 Questions for 15 People

Thanks for the tag, @2for2long (really having moots is delightful)

1. Are you named after anyone?

My deadname's from a song by a band my dad and I listen to together. Love the origin but the name ain't for me. My name isn't after anything, though people keep thinking it's from Heathers. IT'S NOT please stop guessing that haha

2. When was the last time you cried?

The last time I remember was listening to s2ep46 of dndads (I was fucking bawling and I haven't cried for the new ep bc I haven't listened to it yet), but it's been windy as hell here, so I look like I've been crying when I go outside.

3. Do you have kids?

No...but I work in childcare and they're all my little darlings. Idk if I'll ever have kids, but definitely not for ages if so.

4. What sports do you play/have you played?

I played soccer at the age everyone played soccer and only for that long.

5. Do you use sarcasm?

Eh. If I do, I make it v clear 'cause I'm autistic and most of my friends are, so I don't wanna confuse people.

6. What's the first thing you notice about people?

If we're talking, it's their body language toward me. If they're just walking by, it's their aesthetic.

Wheezer blue /ref (no they're not "get this man brown contacts" blue unless I'm staring into the sun, which I promise doesn't happen often)

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

Ok Lo 🥹 with teary eyes I am here to discuss Vincenzo.

But I wanna read your thots first!

VINCENZO!!! yes let’s discuss!!! but first and foremost THANK YOU for recommending it. seriously i had given up mid-way thru the first ep a few months ago but no one can deny you have the best taste 😘😘

I LOVED IT!!! it’s actually now in my top 5 of all time. i binged the hell out of it, it was that good. (i even stayed up nights watching 😭)

(the rest under the cut with spoilers)

i think the standout for me was song joongki, mostly bc of how adorable he is 🥺 i wanted to squish his cheeks (and other things 🥴) and him and hanseo???! the softness! the lil face slaps! him finding hanseo cute! 🥺 and kwak dongyeon was perfection. i cant remember the last time i saw a redemption arc that massive 😳 oh, actually the only one i can think of to compare it to is steve from stranger things. he went from being kinda annoying to one of my absolute favourite characters. the fact that he tried to fit in with the trio was so adorable, i couldn’t stop saying ‘cute, aww cute’ pretty much everytime he came on screen after he switched to vincenzo’s side. remember when they quizzed him 🥺 he studied. he actually studied. pls he just wanted a head pat and someone to tell him he was doing a good job :((( he was actually such a sweetie pie, imagine if he didnt have the devil incarnate as a brother, he would have turned out so well. vincenzo was the brother he deserved 💔 and i just, i can’t get over how things ended for him (wait no they didn’t end, he’s definitely coming back in season 2!!) tbh i was actually pretty mad at vincenzo for not stepping in and doing something, anything, to stop what happened. to save him. 💔 he’s such a skilled fighter, i feel like he could have jumped in and maybe avoided… i can’t even say it 😭

ok, but on a happier note, vincenzo’s relationship with chayoung was also super adorable, that slow burn was everything! EVERYTHING!! their 10 second hug? her smacking him? 🤣

(he’s so attractive 😭😭)

and chayoung was such a badass character, i wish i could be that brave and assertive. and man oh man, she is so strong! the way things ended with her dad, that scene was heartbreaking :(((

ok switching back to happy, can we talk about the male on male affection in this show?? i never get to see it and it’s just so disappointing bc yes! pls hug each other! kiss each other! tell each other you admire the other! it’s healthy! it’s freeing! i’m such a sucker for tiny displays of affection, and his interactions with everyone had me clutching my blanket on the verge of tears. ugh every single person in this kdrama was adorable. the intelligence agent especially, his awestruck admiration for vincenzo had me both soft and cackling 🤣

(pls he’s so funny 🤣 also, perfect timing??)

but all the geumga plaza ppl were surprisingly cute with really interesting back stories. it’s funny, i was thinking to myself how weird it was that all of them had some special talent and then they said the same thing seconds later 🤣

the estranged mother side story was also heartbreaking. i wish they had more time together and that he could have called her mom, but i understand him and why he couldn’t say anything. at least they both knew it before she died, and i’m so grateful chayoung was there to bring them together 🥺💕 the scene where she hugged him, i bawled. and when she was talking about him as he was bawling. and then again when he read her letter 😭

ok last but not least, taecyeon!! i can’t believe i didn’t recognize him??! but he did such an amazing job. and the plot twist was perfection, i was in shock and that hardly ever happens for me (my stupid brain always anticipates plotlines 😭😭) i went from finding him adorable to being in love to hating him resolutely to feeling really sorry for him all in the span of a few eps. although i can never forgive him for how he treated hanseo 😔

but he is an incredible actor! and the writers are also amazing. choi myunghee also did a fantastic job! i hated her but i guess i was supposed to 🤣 oh! that scene when vincenzo came to their hq and shot his mother’s killer gave me goosebumps, it was so well done 👏

i rambled on here oops… but there was sooo much to talk about! there’s a lot more but i should stop here haha. who were your favourite characters?! favourite moments?!

#i could seriously go on and on 😂#this show had everything!#it was just perfect without being overdone #i usually dislike law shows bc the inaccuracies annoy me but they did a pretty good job - even if the retrial was too much of a reach)#ok i’ll stop now 😩#but tell me everything! i want to hear it all!#kie <3 #my favourite doom #vincenzo

Happy Sunday! Hope you all have time to rest before another busy work or school week.

Here’s part 3 and the end of this Scoups imagine. If I come up with something again, I’d love to share of course.

Love, Ruthie

Two more weeks passed without Y/N on his side and Cheol haven’t been the same. He never misses practice, actually, he’s spending too much time at work, wanting to practice until late at night, bonding with Woozi in his studio - and by bonding, staring at music sheets, on the monitor, listening to the random tune his brother is coming up to.

Life has never been the same. He should have realized it earlier. it was you you who encouraged him to reach for his dream, you never missed a concert, a show, a small fan meet event.

He shook his head trying to get the thoughts of you away. Until he heard Jeonghan exclaimed-

“Isn’t that Y/N? Oh my God, it’s definitely her!” Cheol quickly looked at the direction Jeonghan is pointing at. And there you were, walking out of the convenience store with a little plastic which he assumes has ramen and milk.

“Baby… “ he whispered. He looked at his friend and their driver. Luckily, there’s very few people at the road they’re at now. With Jeonghan’s nod and encouraging smile, Cheol stepped out of the car to run after you.

“Baby! Wait up!” He almost sounded desperate, not sure if you’d stop. And you did.

“Cheol…” you’re unsure of what to say.

“Hey, it’s me. I… I was in a car with Jeonghan and we saw you from the store. Hi. “ You can see the tears brimming on his eyes as he speaks to you.

“Hi. Uhm, what do you need, Cheol?”

“You. Baby, I need you, in my life.” He let his tears fall and your eyes mirror his.

“You hurt me.” The words you spoke hurt you just as much. “I know, I know and I am so sorry. Please, listen to me. Give me a chance to explain. After you hear my side, I’d give you time to decide if you would still want me. Please, baby. One chance to explain.” He sounded so desperate yet so inlove. You both decided to go to your new place. A small studio type apartment few walks away from the convenience store.

You gave him his chance to explain. Though you admit it hurt you that he’d distance himself instead of talking to you about his struggle, you admit that you understood.

“What now, Cheol?” You finally asked him after a couple minutes of silence. “Can you give me another chance to be part of your life, Y/N? I promise to always talk to you and be open about my worries in life and not to keep you in the dark. I don’t know how I’d spend another day coming home to an empty house yet every corner reminds me of you.”

“I love you, Cheol. So much, it hurts. I don’t know if I can ever go through that again.” Your tears fall again as you remember the last few days in his house. “But I also know that I’d rather give us a chance to be happy. This could be for life, right?” You laughed as you asked him that question. Cheol started to bawl his eyes out again, he doesn’t deserve you yet he would do anything to be half as deserving as anyone to be with you. You are amazing and you should be with him. That’s for sure.

“I love you, baby. I’ll be more mature and remember that we’re partners. I’d want to be yours forever.” You nodded and hugged him. You didn’t mind if it seemed like you forgive too quickly. What’s important now is you and him spending the rest of your lives together.

Heath’s Ultimate Horror Recs; A MASTERPOST.

We’ll start off with my letterboxd top four (in no true order)

1. The Thing (1982)

First of all, it is unanimously agreed that the only way this movie could have been improved would be if Kurt Russel had worn a crop top that said “baby slut”. This movie has everything and is one of the (if not the original) Imposter movies. It takes place in the arctic, and is a little bit creature, gore, and psychological horror. It’s smart and it's fun! Not too scary, but a good time for sure.

2. Cabin in the Woods (2011)

Please ignore that Joss Whedon made this as it is, unfortunately, INCREDIBLY fun. Like so much fucking fun. It’s a movie that completely deconstructs horror movie tropes, and I don’t mean that in a pretentious not-like-the-other-movies way. It literally deconstructs them, and has the most ridiculous half-twist at the end that really just ties it all together. If you like final girls, and every possible horror movie villain you could get your hands on, this is the movie for you. If you don’t already know the plot, go in blind.

3. Possession (1981)

NOBODY, NOBODY, NOBODYYYYYYYY. This movie personifies what it feels like to have a Mitski-induced breakdown. I believe it was banned for a time in much of Europe upon release for going too hard. It’s not really like “demon on the ceiling. gotta call the exorcist” and more like “go stupid go crazy”. Gets More and More as it goes on. Bonus points for Sam Neill, an underrated horror guy. Foreign Film. 10/10.

4. Jennifer’s Body (2009)

Literally ahead of its time. Girls kiss girls kiss boys kill boys kill girls. Yeah. I’m using the word- it’s camp TO ME. Again, not particularly scary (that’s what the next section is for) but it is very fun and also it is a romantic tragedy. I don’t know what else to say.

SUPER HONORABLE MENTIONS (that might be mentioned in later categories):

Nope (2022)

Candyman (1992)

Alien (1979)

Okay. Now the ones that really got me good (that are rec’able)

1. Hereditary

Did I like the plot of this movie? No. Did I like this movie? No. Did I leave the theater wanting to crawl out of my skin and throw said skin into the trash with the popcorn? Yes. Rancid vibes, and for that it gets #1. Personally, it hit all my marks for going NOPE. -1000/10. (Really though, I thought the plot was dumb but my god was this movie the literal definition of horrific.)

2. The Descent (2005)

I watched this movie at FAR too young of an age. I was like 8. My mom showed it to me because she thought it was cool. It made me scared of the dark for the next decade of my life. I’m a bit desensitized to horror at this point so I didn’t find it that scary upon rewatch. However, it’s my favorite combo of creature, proper build up, character-driven, and action-y. Also it’s a literal blood bath. :^)

3. 10 Cloverfield Lane (2016)

This movie is not a classic horror, but it did fill me with immense dread and shock and it has a left a lasting impression on me. You are a girl who gets in a car crash and wakes up in a bunker with John Badman (?) and another guy and he’s telling you the world has ended outside and that if you were to leave you’d immediately die. Except there’s no way to know if he’s telling the truth. I remember my body physically hurting from the stress after watching this for the first time.

4. It (2017)

I’m not above the clown movie. Listen, was it cosmically horrific? No! But it did have a bunch of good scares and it’s honestly one of my favorite ensemble cast movies to have ever been made. The sequel can die in a dumpster fire though. I still squirm in my seat for a few scenes even though I know Mr. Skarsgard is gonna pop out.

Conceptual Absolute Fuckin’ Bangers ( and/or amazing visuals)

1. A Quiet Place (2018)

I held my breath the entire movie, and so did the rest of the theater because it pulls you in so well. Bawled my eyes out. Amazing story, and it keeps your nerves frayed the entire time.

2. Candyman (1992)

My most favoritest slasher. Actually perhaps the only slasher I will recommend. Underhyped, a story less told and it just feels different in a nice way. It has everything, including the Looks.

3. Crimson Peak (2015)

High drama, and arguably the prettiest visuals I’ve ever seen. Definitely a vibe-based movie and not for everyone. Guillermo Del Toro at his prettiest. I would read the content warnings though, because the plot is also not for everyone.

4. Queen of the Damned (2002)

I’ll use the word again. Camp. This movie almost made me become a Vampire Person (notorious werewolf person). It’s ridiculous and bad but its also good and a vibe and everyone is very hot so what’s not to love.

5. Nope (2022)

MY BABY MY BAAAAAAAAAABY MY BAAABBY MY BABBBYYY MY BABY. Zero criticism, it’s just not on my top four horror list because I don’t think it’s a horror. I think its a sci-fi suspense action mystery masterpiece with horror as an undertone. Literally best movie of the decade.

6. Re-Animator (1985)

Cult classic. And a classic example of they made it so subtext gay that now its just text gay. Ridiculous. Body horror abound. 10/10.

7. Alien (1979)

Can you say anything bad about this movie? No. It’s been awhile since I’ve seen it, but it’s very good. And of course the Face Huggers and Chest Bursters can never get enough of their dues for being icons.

8. The Ritual (2017)

Please just trust me. If you like what Nope did with The Design, you might like this movie. Because ohhhh ohhhh The Design. The first two-thirds I quite enjoy, the last third loses me a bit but then I really like the last scene. But yeah. The Design. Also spooky and fun. And it’s on netflix! Nice!

Here for a fun time, not a smart or “good” time!

1. Pitch Black (2000)

Yes, I am recc’ing a movie that stars Vin Diesel. I like Riddick. Die mad about it. But I also like this movie a lot! It’s bad in a 2000s sci-fi kinda way. But it commits to what it does and I like the characters. Shoot me. Nice blend of horror and action.

2. Tremors (1990)

Heath Lore: for like four years in a row I made my friends watch this on my birthday. It’s so very dumb and also so very fun. And. Gay cowboys. Yeehaw. (There are two sequels made prior to like 2008, and I have also watched those. They are even more dumb.)

3. Poltergeist (1982)

My mom also showed me this movie when I was about 6 or so. Traumatized me for life. I was a little bit paranoid about EVERYTHING. I’m re-watching for the first time in a long time this year, but honestly this movie goes so hard and for what. To be rated PG? That’s how my mom convinced me to watch it.

4. Brain Damage (1988)

gonna be honest. went full monkey brain during this one. main character...sexy. this concludes my thought process. it’s very dumb and bad, and i would probably read the trigger warnings before you watch it.

5. The Evil Dead (franchise)

So much happening, I would argue none of it “good”. Fun time.

6. The People Under the Stairs (1991)

Spoiler alert: there are people under the stairs. A movie where I kept yelling WHAT?! W H A T?! Amazing. 10/10.

Modern Horror Gems (not Oscar Worthy)

1. The Conjuring (2013)

I really like this movie. It’s not perfect and it’s not innovative, but I think it was well made and I think the scares are good. Also Ed and Lorraine Warren (movie versions, not the real people) are relationship goals for real.

2. Shutter Island (2010)

There is definitely a lot happening in this movie. Psychological. Story driven. I did like it though.

3. Revenge (2017)

Action, thriller, horror. Woman stuck with a group of bad men in the middle of the desert. Woman seeks Revenge with a capital R. French film, very violent.

Final category: Movies that make you go Huh?!

1. Titane (2021)

Such a weird fucking movie. So fucking weird. So fucking weird. French film.

2. Eraserhead

I discovered my love for brown noise through this movie and fell asleep within thirty minutes. I liked it quite a bit though, I think, when I finished it the next day.

OK THAT’S ALL FOR NOW. THANK YOU FOR READING <3

Hello, Dj! Did you watch the last episode? Did you like it?

Hi, yes! I watched it on my own last Friday, and I appreciate all the hard work of MAPPA for animating the last few parts of Attack on Titan. The animation was amazing as always, and I'm sure they had to face a lot of internal and external pressure on how they would go about it.

That said, while I wished they could have cut the 1-hr ep into two 30-minute eps, I respect their decision to combine 4 chapters together as well as their interpretation of the manga. Chapters 131 and 132 were emotionally-heavy in terms of scenes (especially with the consequences of the Rumbling and Hange's sacrifice), while 133 and 134 had a ton of dialogue (with Armin strategizing with the Alliance in the plane and their negotiation with Eren in the Paths). The tone of the first half was completely different from the second half, and we definitely needed to breathe in between. I did like how they ended with the Alliance's entrance of them jumping off the plane, though! (self-plug: reminds me of Free-Falling aherm aherm)

MAPPA also went with a less melancholic song choice of Hiroyuki Sawano's Bauklötze (I was ready to bawl my eyes out had they chosen an instrumental version of Akuma No Ko). There's a line in their chosen song that goes, "We will fight until the burning wind takes our wings" and I think that fits Hange perfectly.

Another thing: Romi Park's delivery of her lines was different from what I expected. That doesn't make it bad, or anything. It's just... completely different. It sounded as if Hange reverted back to their old fanatical self in their last moments. (Whatever happened to character growth?) But I guess if the goal was to show that Hange's penchant for discovery and love for learning Titans never faded during their time as commander, then that makes sense for them to be so overwhelmed with seeing the Colossal Titans one last time that they didn't even notice the expression in Levi's eyes:

But we do have to remember that Attack on Titan is not a melodrama and definitely does not go for overtly romantic undertones, and MAPPA probably has budget and timing constraints in terms of production, so I'm interested on how they would animate the second part of the last episode of the final season in the end. (Do they realize how ridiculous this entire installment sounds?)

I do hope we get a director's commentary on why the producers went with their decisions (on pacing, on dialogues, and song choices), just so we can have some insight on what they wanted to portray versus what was actually portrayed.

Thanks for reading!

Spotlight AU Wukong definitely keeps all the programs and is ( to everyone else) weirdly emotional about it.

Also Macaque being in a friend group with some of the other actors probably with gossip and emotional support ( he’s vaguely complained about a ex who keeps coming to shows and they instantly all got creep vibes and a dislike of the guy) they will destroy your social life if your a dick.

+ if you can’t decide what role he played in something he played both in separate shows and wukong made sure to see him in both roles

-♈️

First of all, hi! You're my first emoji anon! Welcome to the family <3

I had to do some research to see what a Programme was lol. I've only ever heard them called Playbills, but apparently thats a brand. Good to know!

And yes, Wukong absolutely does! He keeps them all, but keeps one of each play in little bags to keep them from getting dirty and stuff.

As for the friend group, Macaque was actually really nervous to get close to anyone when he first started doing this stuff. He started off in small local plays, then tried a small musical. One of his cast mates convinced him to try out for the city theater and it kinda went off from there. He slowly became more open and comfortable with others, and ultimately made a few friends.

He tried not to bring up his ex, but ended up getting drunk during an after party and spilled... a bit more tea than he meant to. He doesn't remember doing this, but his cast mates immediately made a pact then and there to protect their precious monkey from getting hurt ever again.

So, when Macaque mentions his ex coming to his shows, they are a little... over protective about it. They explain the whole 'getting drunk and bawling his eyes out' thing, to which he feels extremely embarrassed about, but after explaining that he was setting boundaries and that the ex was following them rlly well, they let it slide. But they also made sure to let Mac know that his ex was on thin fucking ice and would be getting LOTS of angry glares if they ever met him.

Macaque playing multiple roles was gonna be my plan, actually! The way they'd go about it is that he'd play one person for a week or two, then change. He also doesn't always play leads or speaking roles. He's the best at it of course, but he wants to give the others their chance to shine too, so he steps aside sometimes.

Regardless of how minor the role is, though, Wukong goes to see it at least once.

Spoilers for the Amphibia series. Finale The hardest thing.

I don't know if I'm in the minority. But I liked how the show ended. Was it a perfect episode? No. I do wish the episode was a little longer, I feel like the core was defeated a little too quickly, and I wish they had explained the origins of the box a little better but I did like how the episode wrapped up.

I'll admit I was starting to tear up when everyone was saying goodbye for the last time. With the title "The hardest thing" and with Hop Pop telling Sprig that Anne couldn't stay with them forever, I think a lot of people were expecting the box to be destroyed and the two worlds separated forever, it didn't make it hurt any less when it did happen.

I liked each of the goodbyes the girls had everyone. Marcy wishing that she had got to know Olivia and Yunan better, and while she didn't necessarily forgive Andrias, I thought it was sweet that she told him goodbye. And seeing his reaction to her even acknowledging him at all, and telling her goodbye too, a great scene between the two of them.

While I'm disappointed Percy and Barrock didn't come back. Sasha and Grime's goodbye was also very sweet. That definitely became better people because of each other.

And I think Anne and the planters goodbye was the most emotional. Especially with Hop Pop and Sprig. Anne and Polly both admitting they loved each other as sisters. Anne and Hop Pop at the beginning of the series couldn't stand each other, but now they've embraced each other as family and are both proud that Anne is a planter. Made their goodbyes so much better.

Anne and Sprig's goodbye was definitely the most emotional scene of the episode. Sprig bawling his eyes out. Anne promising that he'll always be important to her. That they'll never be apart as long as they remember each other. And I loved the last hug they had when the camera circled around them. How can you not be at least a little sad after that scene ?Every voice actor during all the goodbye scenes, did a great job delivering their lines.

I also liked the time skip too. Seeing Sprig using Anne's phone to write down their adventures, having a statue of Anne in her honor in the middle of town square, Anne made such a good impact on the town that even without the statue, No-one in Amphibia is going to forget what she Sasha and Marcy did for them.

And I liked the earth ending. Marcy moving away made sense with change being a theme of the show. And even Sasha admitting that she and Anne drifted into different friend groups after awhile also made sense.

I also loved that the last scene was Anne talking about how change was hard but it was part of growing up, and how some things can come back. I loved that the quote/final scene was on the frog Anne named after Sprig.

I'm glad I gave this show a chance. It's one of the better Disney shows to come out in the past couple of years. (In my opinion.) While it was by no means perfect, I'm definitely going to miss it. But I'm glad Matt Barley got to tell the story the way he wanted. Not many creators get to do that with their shows. And I'm glad Amphibia got to tell it's story in a satisfying way.

Spranne against the world.

#6 Frozen 2

You're probably all wondering why I chose Frozen 2 over the original movie. Well you'll find out during my review.

I wanna start by saying this movie has a much better plot than the original. It included both characters equally, I believe in the first movie it targeted Anna more than it did Elsa when they both deserved equal attention. This movie was also way more emotional than the other movie it had me crying tears of joy and sadness at the same time which is a quality I find important in a movie. The original movie also made Elsa look like the villain for the most of the movie when she didn't deserve that at all, she was in a position none of us could understand. One aspect I did enjoy more in the first movie was the love between sisters, I have two older sisters and seeing this sister love makes me think of my sisters and how happy I am that we're all very close and share this love for one another. Now that I addressed why the first movie wasn't my favrouite let's talk about why the second one is my favrouite.

First things first Anna and Elsa both looked AMAZING in this movie, the editors did a great job with their appearance. Both sisters look so much older and more mature than the first movie. I loved this small detail since it showed us that they both grew since the first movie and have more knowledge on how to work together. I love that they changed their outfits completely and didn't reuse the original ones, this proves to me they put effort into this movie.

In this movie I have two favorite songs that I can't pick in between the first song is, into the unknown. The vocals in this song are amazing there is no doubt if you disagree you're wrong, simple as that. Idina Menzel who voices Elsa did amazing she hits a whole ton of high notes perfectly, I was genuinely in shock the first time I heard this song the vocals were just amazing. The vocals in this song are WAY better than the vocals in, let it go, she truly outdid herself with this song. Another thing I loved about this song is how much we find out about the past of the kingdom, in most Diseny songs there is a story however in this one it was so clear and easy to follow even without the visualls I understand what is going on and i just enjoy the fact that the stroy was so clear.

The next song I love is Lost in the Woods. This was the first time we truly saw Kristoff's emotions, I never really knew what was going on in his head but after listening to this song it made everything more clear. This song made me see him as more of a main character than a secondary character, it definitely gave him more of a personality. Jonathan Groff killed this song, his voice was so smooth and the words just rolled off his tongue, I remember obsessing over this song for at least 3 months. I downloaded this song while walking out of the movie theater and played it on repeat for the next 2 weeks, there wasn't a day that passed without me listening to it for a very long time. I remember being in grade 10 math class and listening to this song everyday with my friend Sasha.

This scene right here where Olaf dies broke me, I didn't recover for a few days. Olaf is my favorite character he makes me think of my dad with his personality and jokes so watching him die had me bawling my eyes out. I don't think he deserved his death so i'm happy he came back at the end of the movie, if he hadn't this definitely wouldn't be in my top 10. He is such a lovable character so if he didn't end up coming back I would never forgive Disney. During his death I just wanted to walk out of the theater it was unacceptable.

I can't really think of any negatives about this movie, it's just not the first movie I would pick to watch when i'm bored. I love this movie so much I just wouldn't be able to watch it every week like I could my number 1, I feel like I would get tired of the movie if I watched it to much, which is way I won't watch it to often but when I do, god I love it. For those reasons I rate this movie 6 out of 10 of my favorite Disney movies.

#1 movie hint: Christina Aguilera sang one song in this movie and it said it launched her career.

Okay okay okay

I think I have my thoughts in order a bit more to be able to vomit them out into a post and share with all of you (just a note they are not in order, after typing this all out it really doesn't make the most sense but here's my stream of consciousness)

This will definitely be a long post so buckle up lmao

Also feel free to share your thoughts as well I wanna hear them!

Spoilers for the walking dead series finale below the cut

Okay to start off, this show has been on for 11 season. There is no way that it was going to have an ending that was satisfactory and gave all of the characters what they deserve. It is an ending and for what it was I do like it. I also know that the cast and crew are all very proud of the work they've done and that in itself should be enough to respect it as the ending of the show.

HOWEVER

Here's how I think it could've been done just a little bit better.

Okay I'll probably get some people hating me for this one but more people should've died, not even just in this episode but in the whole last season. I think in season 11 we lost the least about of characters than ANY other season, I haven't done the math but that's what it feels like

Like named characters that we all know and care about?? We lost Alden, Luke, Jules, and Rosita. I know more died but like did anybody really care about that kid on the train??? I mean fuck I don't even remember his name. Also like read those names again. Three of the four people I just named died in tonights episode, we've had mid-season finals have more death. We've had just a regular old episode have more death.

And the series finale they decide to dial it back??? Like for most of these characters we are never going to see them again. Kill them off, rip out our hearts, stomp on them, put them back in, let us catch our breathe and do it all over. Logistically I know that we couldn't have lost characters like Daryl, Maggie, or Negan. But like imagine if we did??? But for characters that could've died and didn't I have a list. Once again this list isn't who I want to die, it's who could've died and would've made the whole episode, the whole season that much more of an impactful ending.

Carol. She's top of my list because it would affect EVERYONE. Imagine Carol gets bit and it's on the neck because she turned to run away from a bunch of walkers and got caught. And shes bleeding out, and Daryl is just slaughtering all of the horde that broke into where they are and then it gets calm and all we hear is Daryl's harsh breathing and Carols gasps for air. Maggie and Judith are there and they just start bawling and hugging each other and Daryl picks up Carol and cradles her as she's struggling to take he last breaths. He's crying. We're all fucking crying and that's when we get his "I love you". Whether you read it as platonic or romantic it's heart wrenching. He whispers it between sentences like "don't go", "not you", "please don't leave me" and then he starts yelling it. And in return he gets a garbled "I love you too" and a bloody hand holding his cheek as she takes her last breathe. IT'S EMOTIONAL, IT'S HEART BREAKING, ITS IMPACTFUL. It's the first death after Luke and Jules', everybody is still reeling from losing Luke and all of a sudden carols gone too.

Next up is, Mercer. Now don't get me wrong, I love that Mercer became co-governors with Ezekiel. In fact I prefer that ending for him but we're going for emotional impact. Mercer is to the CW what Daryl and Carol are to our main group. Him dying would cause a riot. In that scene where they're at the gate. Imagine Pam telling that other chick (I don't know her name) to shoot Mercer because he's a threat and she does. Right between the eyes. He just drops mid-sentence. The rest of the cw soldiers immediately turn on Pam because she killed Mercer, the people yelling at the gates start climbing over due to anger and there being a distraction to do so. And Max. Poor sweet Max. Takes the gun from her brothers holster, raises it and shoots Pamela in the shoulder.

This brings me to my next person. Pamela. Look I understand the "jails worse than death" mindset but like it's not. She doesn't deserve to live, especially since it's the series finale. So she doesn't. Max shoots her in the shoulder. Coincidentally right where Pam shot Judith. And Pam ever the dramatic bitch drops to her knees and starts going off on a politician speal about how she had to and how dare Max shoot her and this and that and Max just marches forwards and punches her in the face. And she doesn't stop, her anger over Pam getting Eugene arrested and almost executed and now killing Mercer is taking over. She's angry, shes hurting, she sees red. By the time somebody's pulled Max off of Pam, Pam is nothing but blood and bruises. She's still alive at this point but not for long. She's gasping for air and choking on her breath and everybody just forgets about her. They start their plan to blow up the estates and when they do they just leave her for the walkers to find before getting blown up. The last thing we hear before the explosions is her screams.

There's more people that I think could've died. Like Tomi, Kelly, Jerry. They all would've made the episode hurt 10x more, it wouldn't have made it a more satisfying ending but it would've made it more bittersweet. If they kept the 1 year later jump. Having them all have to move past a multitude of deaths and be thriving would've been better than the "we all survived and lived happily ever after" that we got because its not realistic in this show.

Still on the topic of character deaths. Rositas while done beautifully confused me. And not her dying, after learning that that's what Christian wanted, so that she could say goodbye, and honestly with how well they did her death I wouldn't change it. But what confused me was she got bit. And when people get bit they get sick.

We see it with Jim all the way back in season one, with Tyreese, with Carl, and so on. You get a fever, you get shakes, you throw up, you hallucinate. You all around have an awful ending. And Rosita didn't have any of that, she wasn't sweaty, or throwing up, she seemed weaker as shown by her needing Carol and Maggie to help her to bed. But that was really it. She kind of just layed down and died, and if you didn't know what happened you would've just thought she was worn out from fighting. They did pale her a bit but not much. I will admit this is me just being nit-picky but like you set up in your universe that when a person dies from a bite they get sick. Really sick. Visibly sick. And then in your final episode you don't follow that??? It's just weird

This episode kind of felt like it was made in three parts. The first part is the hospital, the next part is the estates and the final part is after the year jump. And they all feel connected but at the same time don't. And if you took any one of them (except maybe the last couple minutes of the episode) out of context it wouldn't really feel like the final episode. They don't scream finale to me. We have Judith shot and dying and losing blood, but oh wait Daryl Dixon is O- and we were never told until now. She'll be fine. And then she is. She's up and moving by the time it's nightfall. And it's kind of just that over and over again for the episode

Don't get me wrong there were some amazing points in this episode, and alot of them are call backs to previous episodes

Daryl saying "we ain't the walking dead" being a direct contradiction to when Rick said they are the walking dead back in season 5

The hospital bed blocking Judith's door being a call back to Shane blocking off Rick's door in season 1

Gabriel opening the gates VS when he first came on the show and said he locked everyone out

Magna and yumiko getting back together (and then we don't see them a year later thriving and being gay)

Carol and Daryl standing around Judith like Lori and Rick did for Carl

DARYL GIVING JUDITH BLOOD LIKE RICK DID FOR CARL

I'm starting to (I have been rambling welcome to my stream of consciousness) kind of ramble sorry let me try and wrap up

For what it was this episode was enjoyable. But it didn't feel like the final episode until the end of it. Just like how season 11 didn't feel like the final season until the end of it. And then they go and make it basically a commercial for their spin offs which leaves their main show so open ended.

I made a post about it already but they shouldn't have ENDED THEIR SHOW WITH A CLIFFHANGER

The show should be its own entity, we didn't need to be left hanging about the Richonne mini-series or the Daryl Dixon show, or dead city. We all know that those are coming. They could've left it at Daryl saying if he finds them he'll bring them home.

ALSO Daryl Dixon leaving doesn't make any sense. It didn't make sense to me when they announced the spinoff and it doesn't make sense now. Why is Daryl leaving his kids? This whole season all that's been shown is how he is their interim dad and how he would give his life for those kids. And then he just fucks off for no valid reason???

Finding Rick isn't a valid reason because michonne is off doing that and we know Daryl trusts that michonne is competent. We also have heard Judith say multiple times that she doesn't want Daryl to leave too and every time Daryl has responded with "I'm right here"

They had this man that went from being a loner and an outcast to being a family man with two kids and a dog, then turned around and made him a loner and outcast again??? All so he can fuck off to Paris? For why??? Just for why??

All in all, the ending is, well it's an ending. And like i said at the top of this post if the cast a crew are happy with the work they did then that's all the really matters. They're the ones the put 12+ years of their lives into making this universe.

It could've been better but maybe it being the way it is will make more sense come the spinoffs (even though that kind of irks me cause like let it be its own thing.)

To be honest I'm emotional, I'm sad it's done, I'm sad for the characters we lost, and I'm sad for the characters that survived that we won't see again. I've cried alot more tonight than I have watching this show in a hot minute

Anyways thanks for reading this mess if you made it this far lmao. What are your thoughts?.?
