clone high final episode spoilers below! (9 n 10)
holy fuck im so happy. even though im super annoyed how they keep throwing a bunch of really good ideas for relationships and plot in the trash- im just so happy with what we got. 
OK FIRST EPISODE 9??? THE ANIMATION WAS SO FUCKING GOOD AND I HAD TO PAUSE BECAUSE WHEN WESLEY WAS FLAILING IN THE SEA, IT WAS DAMN smooth and pleasant to watch, as morbid as it sounds lol. that whole scene with the comic-esque vibe was so so pleasing. 
and that whole episode was super like, sad but funny. i literally stood up and yelled when Mr. B was getting near the edge. like i probably woke up every single one of my neighbors in like.. a 50 mile radius it was that bad im so fucking annoying about this show. 
BUT THEN SCUDS SAVED HIM AND I WAS SO HAPPY, LIKE THEYRE LITERALLY AN OLD COUPLE, AND LITERALLY THEY’RE FATHERS TO THEIR CLONE KIDS AND THEYRE ALL SUCH A BIG HAPPY FAMILY AND AUGHHHH im gonna draw family stuff with them so bad. I WISH THESE EPISODES CAME OUT BEFORE FATHERS DAY IT WOULD’VE BEEN PERFECT. 
ok, episode 10 i have to take a deep breath with. i am VERY happy. and idk if it was because the bar was so low, or if it was because i was so anxious i was vomiting everywhere because i needed content so bad, but i am overjoyed. 
THE ABETOPH CONTENT WE GOT WAS SO GOOD. WE HAVE LIKE... 3 NEW CUTE PHOTOS OF THEM HANGING OUT, AND LIKE A BUNCH OF MOMENTS OF ABE CARRYING TOPHER ON HIS BACK. was it because he was being tophers lackey? fine, sure, whatever. BUT AFTER THAT WHEN JFK BROKE TOPHERS PHONE IT WAS OVER (im upset it wasnt developed on further because people who didnt watch it in real time like us will surely be fine. so fuck you.) 
Also, ABE AND JFKS FREINDSHIP HOLUYDBIUJEWNFJKNF oh my god not to be autistic but i was stimming so fucking hard WHEN THEY HUGGED, I WAS LIKE YES FINALLY. FINALLLLLYYY!!! theyre my sweet boys and THAT WHOLE FRIEND GROUP HAS ME IN TEARS. LIKE abe and Confucius are already bros, as we see them playing in the school yard, and JFK and Confucius are already bros from the sleepover episode, but NOW JFK AND ABE ARE BROS. FUCK. YEAH. oh and tophers there too. i like how they treat topher tbh. like hes just there until he says something out of pocket and they’re just like stfu. 
but with the girls friend group.. oof. i honestly loved them so much, especially with cleo, but NOW ITS FUCKED. and its not even joans fault tbh. like when i was watching the scene where frida dropped joan i was like “damn” but then, JOAN MENTIONS HOW SHE HELPED EVERYONE BEFORE AND I WAS LIKE “DAYYYYYYUUMMMM UR RIGHT” so now im conflicted. But again like??? bruh i would choose cleo too tbh lmao.
Also, i’m glad clone college isn’t real. because jfk mentions about taking shelly to .. biology? which i think is a only 1st year class. and in the original clone high everyone is like “omg u hit puberty over summer” Which i feel is typically something thats potrayed in media AFTER middle school. but i could be wrong so, idk. just really glad they didn’t do the clone college bc i hate change. also theyre 16 lmao. OR MAYBE THEY WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT... in the future when highschools done?? IDK. IDC.
anyway. im scared for joans friend group and i fucking love joan, and i am in love with abe, toph, jfk, and Confucius’s little bromances and augh. im so happy. and THE CLIFF HANGER WASN’T TERRIBLE ALSO, IN MY OPNINON. 
im just glad joanabe wasn’t endgame. i mean, i would be pretty happy because im a sucker for childhood friends to lovers but also NOOOOOO joan deserves better. so. yeah 10/10 
if you read this far, holy crap, im proud of you, and ily 
that is my review on the finale so i’ll be making so much content now that im not on the brink of collapsing everytime i think of clone high. like trust me im gonna try and stretch out this fixation for as long as i can. though im probably gonna draw a surplus of abe and jfk art bc they were my fav in 2020

Welcome to the Lady Susan Readthrough!
Lady Susan is a really amusing epistolary (written in letters) novella. It is often collected with Jane Austen's other juvenilia, written between the ages of 12 and 18. This includes another epistolary work called Love and Freindship (spelling the author's) and some ridiculous short stories and unfinished works (I literally love Lesley Castle I wish it was finished).
I don't know if I'm going to do this for every Austen novel, but I wanted to start with Lady Susan because a lot of people don't even know it exists and it's so funny! It also has a lot of hints of what Austen will write as a mature author. I think it's great.
So read with me 2 letters per day and follow the tag #ladysusanreadthrough if you want to follow along. There may be some spoilers, I have a lot of trouble keeping secrets. Lady Susan is available on Project Gutenberg and LibriVox.
Here is the character summary if you need it for reference. For some reason the first time I read this novella I was so lost.
Letters 1&2 Letters 3&4 Letters 5&6 Letters 7&8 Letters 9&10 Letters 11&12 Letters 13&14 Letters 15&16 Letters 17&18 Letters 19&20 Letters 21&22 Letters 23&24 Letters 25&26 Letters 27&28 Letters 29&30 Letters 31&32 Letters 33&34 Letters 35&36 Letters 37&38 Letters 39&40 Letter 41 and Conclusion

Sometimes I get really sad and lonely and then I scroll through tumblr.
I think I have to start making a routine to walk outside, but i keep making excuses not too. The only outside place I want to be is on my porch and a park that’s 30 minutes away.
I’m really lonely apparently. It’s a side effect of having very little of a social life (aside from the few interactions on here. Since I don’t interact with anyone on any other site tbh.)
I think it’s just easy for me to be alone. Like I’m sure I developed some kind of abandonment issues and I’m fully aware of how it makes me feel- and that might be why i keep avoiding irl interactions.
Everything feels easier here. No anxiety no pressure. I know people here are okay and already know my goofy little self. I don’t have to worry about appearances and present how I desire. I don’t feel trapped.
I can scream into the void here. I can keep screaming and maybe one day, someone might just scream back. It’s a good feeling.
I keep feeling guilty for posting or rebloging so much. I look at other people getting asks or interactions as “successes”. I see comments and tags and it’s “success”. At what? Hell if I know. Perhaps some social game like popularity, or the fact that somebody is liked enough to have people talk to them.
Ugh, I used to read my old blog posts from an account long abandoned. Reeked of insecurity. I see myself falling back into that spiral over and over again whenever the darkness creeps up a little to closely. Like I can only eve ignore it for so long, until I’m back to screaming again like I am now.
It’s like that stupid feeling, like someone in the back of my mind is screaming “please be with me.” It’s crying all the time.
I don’t know what freindship is, I only see people in black and whites of “useful” and “not useful” the definition of useful isnt exact and varies person to person, but I recognize this is my thought process.
I guess there’s the guilt of it all too. Some underlying shame or guilt constantly pestering me. I hate annoying things and it’s really annoying.
I’m young, and I’m still figuring things out. Though that doesn’t really invalidate or solve how I feel now. Idk.
At some point in time I forgot how to talk to people in real life. It’s like when I do my soul leaves my body and I just go on autopilot. Only to return to a state of constant evaluation and analysis (which are my saviors).
Sometimes I just want to stay broken. Or maybe I was never broken to begin with. I don’t know. I’m sad and buttnaked writing this at 11:54 because I’m slowly developing a fear of sleeping (technically I just have s very strong desire to stay awake for no reason in particular.)
I fucked up with the alt descriptions for my art. I’m unsure if I’m making excuses not to make alts because it’s too much effort-or it’s something else.all I know is that I feel guilty about it.
I hate guilt (or is what I feel shame? I’m uncertain). I wish I never felt it. It’s a disgusting feeling that only does me bad. Usually I can just determine via logic when ive fucked up. But if what I feel is guilt then I do not like it. I wish it wasn’t there I wish it didn’t exist because it annoys me.
I cleared out my wounds too. I’m hopping I made it better by opening up a covered path that was clogging the infection gunk from getting out- and some dead skin. Getting hurt sucks.I thought I would be stronger. But I am reminded I am frail.
Screaming into the void in hopes of a freind. It’s a strange habit to have. Always screaming never a reply. I wish I could make things like this one person I follow. I’ve never seen them ever sad about their lack of interactions (atleast in this platform). I’m trying to be like that. But it sucks that I can’t register likes Orin the same way I do as reason people’s tags or comments or seeing their reblogs.
Since I’m always reblogging other peoples stuff, there’s always that nagging feeling when ever I make my own shit that it’s never enough.
One day though I think I’ll feel “enough”. I’ll drink champagne on that day and eat a chocolate cupcake. Just like a birthday celebration.

i wish we meet soon , the life is worse than hell itself, living without you is the worst thing i ever did..
i wish we meet for the last time..
i wish we sit for the last time beside the pond holding each other and just feeling the presence of each other...
i wish we sit for the last time and atleast say something we wanted to or bide each other the last goodbye,
i wish atleast if we cant be together we close the chapter on a good note,
i wish you come back to me and love me but ik it wont and its ok...
i wish we cry the last tears together,
i wish i could delete insta and not just sit the whole day and go on restricting people who message me just because i want u to message me and then seeing the last text every second for the rest of the time,
i wish you felt my love , my freindship , me and text me someday saying sorry and wanting to come together and me going to you forgetting everything and keeping you in my arms..
cause you were the only home , only mine safe place left..
but i know it wont happen...cause you love someone who isnt me and i am no more there..
its okay but i dont know how to live with it...i wish i also had someone who loved me and helped me now and make me happy like he is making you..

i hate that i spent like idk the whole past year of 2023 sorta slowly healing myself piece by piece and also just slowly making little progress getting a job driving learning to be content w/ what happened and then when i see them again just feeling so out of place and just ashamed to exist like :/ like was rly made to feel like i was a genuinely worthless person who didnt even deserve the time of day in that friendship while also being given like constant fake reassurance abt actually bieng a close friend of theirs anytime id like try to confront them abt the way i had been treated and then to just get ghosted after a 3 yeear freindship sooo shitty and tht sucks obv but what makes it worse is that i kno she like def did it because she knew no one cared abt me so no one would give a fuck if i even did bring up her shitty behavior like lol. so weird being idk inducteed into a friend group of ppl who def think ur ugly n a loser but are too fake to say so to ur face and just act alarmingly fake to u. like i rly wonder how they rationalize it in all their heads like its one thing to be treated shittily and fake by one person but a whole group of them u'd think one of them would pull me aside or msg me being like hey we kinda dont like u but insteaed they were fake and not even like putting up w/ me fake but like overtly kind and positive in a way i totally suspected w/ some of the more overtly rude ones lol. liiike i rly do wonder how they rationalize it i guess kinda just being like oh well he was ugly and had no taste of fashion so he deserved it lol like its so idk. like scary cause they all had a faux positivtiy progressiveness to them and theered be times where id be like oh thats kinda red flaggy when theyd drop lil hints at awful behavior but id always brush it aside as smthn they were genuinely working on to remove and to better themselves (anytime id call them out for their behavior theyd avoid accountability by saying they were going to therapy for it and overall blame it on bad mental health which put me in a rly rly fucked situation not wanting to be a person who stops being friends w/ someone cause of mental health issues so i would just always 100% take her word for it even tho she'd treat her actual friends one hundred times better than she did me lol) like so many angles of it being fucked i wish i could just call them out or that one of their friends or any1 they knew would reach out to me saying they were also treated similarly but like the fucked reality is probably that not a single one of their friends gave a shit abt me since day one and could care less abt the way i was treated. like just so insane on so many levels cause it was like so quickly escalated into a close friendship and shed constantly bring up collaborating artistically n musically and would liteerally even come over sometimes just so we could work on music she wrote lol and then like go silent after i contributed something i guess she thouhgt was good lol and would invite me to TONS of shit then would go silent when id actually take her up on her offer and aks for like specifics of where the place she invited me was n stuff. like liteereally invited to dj sets n to go w/ her to record stuff in a studio and stuff like just so insanaaaane who even says that like if u genuinely dont give af abt some1 why constantly drip feed them random shit to them unprompted. just sooo fucked like no half assed apology message after it all or anything just like the moment i was out of her life she moved on just like that while i was still confused abt whatt the hell was even going on. have no idea how to avoid friendships like these but everytime i geet into one it just makes me feel so isolated from like every1 else in the world. i guess this could stop once i get a job with ppl i get along w/ who are my age or once i start taking college classes again. but just so insane i feel like only 1 or 2 of the friendships ive had have been actually normal positive effects on my life every other one is some rly awful person who acts crazy overly nice

I love Viktor he’s so soft ☺️I would love more headcanons whenever you wanna make ‘em
-Ask and you shall recieve!! This one is gonna be more towards relationship/freindship headcanons with the reader.
Viktor x Reader crush/relationship headcanons
Friendship with feelings headcanons
-Knows his feelings for you are there but is in denial (begginning crush phase)
Viktor has never been in an intimate relationship with another before, nor did he have very many friends growing up. So with his lack of experiences, Viktor finds trouble comprehending his feelings even when he’s studied the science behind such emotions. His feelings for you began lingering in the back of his mind when he noticed how much more he was looking forward to seeing you in the lab than he was with Jayce, even though you were both already standing next to each other when Viktor walked in. He noticed how his eyes were immediately drawn to you, completely ignoring his fuck boy of a friend and his greeting.
He thinks maybe he just felt more comfortable with you because you ‘radiated positive energy’ even if you were just there to annoy the two and crack dark jokes which Viktor found shocking yet hilarious (he keeps that to himself though, not very well as you always look to him for a reaction, seeing the small twitching smile that was he was trying to hide).
-When coming to terms with his feelings
When he finally gave in, he asked Jayce one day while Y/n was out of the lab ‘how to know if you fancy somebody’ which Jayce found hilarious considering he knew exactly who he was talking about. “It’s like- ok.. imagine a person asks if you have a significant other, who would be the first person you’d think of if there is anybody at all?”
This left Viktor a red mess, his mind almost immediately thinking of you. Jayce seemed to notice the blushing state he was in and continued with their research, a knowing grin spread across his face. Meanwhile, Viktor was unable to focus for the rest of the day up until he was in his pyjamas, laying in bed. He hardly got any sleep that night and when he’d finally slipped into slumber, he’d dreamt of you.
-Tried to flirt but backfired
The one time he decided to gather up his courage, you two were alone in the lab and the atmosphere was just perfect. Viktor’s cheeks already began to flush as he listened helplessly for the right words that came out of your mouth that could possibly be turned into a pickup line. “Man this project is such a bitch, I barely got a wink of sleep last night just wondering where we went wrong and how we could fix it...” You said in irritation after studying the anatomy of your project for probably the 20th time that day. “I-I barely got a wink of sleep last night just wondering how I can- can uh.. can...” Viktor’s delivery faltered, trying to maintain eye contact with you only to have his built-up confidence be popped like a balloon with a pin. It was already going downhill the moment he locked eyes with you and began nervously watching your tired expression morph into one of confusion, a brow-raising as you waited for him to finish his sentence.
“N-Nevermind Y/n, it is unimportant to our research...” he said strictly, turning the other way to distract himself from his embarrassment, but surely you were able to see the clear blush that spread over his face right? There’s no way you could have missed it... and of course, you didn’t. You needed reading glasses but you weren’t blind... You just wish you knew why he was so red...
-Confessed on accident
You had been sick with a cold for the past week, so when Viktor began ranting to who he thought was Jayce entering the lab about missing you and that his crush was only growing the longer you were gone, he sure was in shock to see your post sickness figure standing in the doorway... “Jayce, let’s visit Y/n’s dormitory later, I miss their presence... it’s just- the longer they’re gone, the more my attraction towards them increases-“ Upon turning to explain to his friend with eye contact, his mouth is left agape. He doesn’t show it since he is paralyzed in his spot, but his mind had immediately gone into a panic; several little Viktor’s in his head sobbing and breaking down to the floor like the world had just exploded and he was somehow still alive to witness it all. “Viktor, you’re attracted to me?” You finally break the tension and oh did the poor adult man want nothing more in the moment than to hide in his room and cry. “I- I do.. mean I am...” he staggers as he turns around, placing draft papers on the desk. He began thinking of ways to apologize for the sudden confession, the tiny Viktor’s in his head still beating himself up over his grave mistake.
That was until he felt you rush towards him, his back facing you as you wrap your arms around him, a tender embrace for the one you thought of constantly. “I like you too... Vik”
Relationship headcanons
-Actually very clingy
This may come as a surprise to a few, but as soon as Viktor settles in and eases into his loving relationship with you, he is extremely touchy. Growing up, Viktor was extremely starved of touch and intimate interactions.. so when he is finally used to the label of boyfriend/lover, he does not waste the opportunity to hold you. Even in the lab when you’re both busy, he’ll briefly pat your head or steal a quick kiss, on the lips, nose, cheek, head, shoulder, neck.. anywhere he was able to. Often he’ll massage your shoulders as he passes by momentarily, whispering sweet nothings into your ear before continuing with what he needed to do.
-Love language
Surprise surprise!! Viktor’s top act of affection (in my opinion) is ‘Words of affirmation’
Although he has never been in a relationship before, Viktor knows his ways with words and is a natural at loving you verbally. Not only does he enjoy praising you, but he also likes to receive those sweet words that were so intoxicating to him. Every time you compliment him or his work and how he’s doing, he was moments away from melting in his spot; like a candle at its last few inches before it was to burn out.
-Fears he is too distant
Every time he feels as if he was ignoring your presence for far too long (even though he wasn’t) he’ll either converse with you about how he felt about you and all the little things he noticed before you started dating if you were in the lab with him that is. If you were at home that day, he’d go home as soon as he was satisfied with his progress and smother you with the most tender hugs and kisses, verbally expressing how much he missed you and apologizing for making you wait so long, no matter how many times you tell him it was okay.
He never wants you to feel neglected, the mere thought of it breaking his heart into all four chambers. Viktor had spent so much of his life without the loving exchanges you had blessed him with always that he hated the idea of you feeling as lonely as he unknowingly did growing up.

Immersed ( part III)
Warning: creepy ram , manipulation, mention of violence
18+ only don't read if you're uncomfortable
“ ram what do you think about these grey one ” I show him the grey bangles that match the colour of my blouse
“ nice but how about the pink one ” he points to the pink bangles kept on display
“ nice but these one goes with my blouse”
“ well then guess we have to buy both” he signals the shopkeeper to pack the bangles as the shopkeeper hurriedly packs them looking happy with Ram's decision
“ but-” “ no but's” he shushes me with a finger on his lips
“ they are a gift jaan for you ” he hands me the bangles I give him a generous smile knowing damn well that he knows I don't have money
“ y/n” I hear someone calling my name catching both my and Ram's attention. We turn around to notice a guy wearing a yellow kurta moving towards us through the crowd
“ hello y/n " he goes to put his hand on my shoulder but stops when he notices ram staring at him with confusion and alert
“ oh ram I forgot to introduce you to shekhar my freind, ” I introduce them with a excited smile on my face as shekhar puts his hand out for a handshake
“ nice to meet you” Ram replies but doesn't shakes his hand still looking at home with suspicious eyes
“ let's go ” ram pushes my shoulder looking at shekhar one last time before leading me through the crowd
Shekhar was like a fresh air in my life air filled with happiness and sunshine that knew nothing other than helping people and loving me
Ram watched you with a smile on his face as you sleep peacefully with you're head resting on his shoulder oh how he wishes to stop the time just you and him like how it's supposed to be with no one else
The sun has gone down indicating that the moon will be coming soon and he can't help but compare you to the moon he is sure you're beauty will even make the moon shy
He remembers you're smile yesterday when you danced in the rain you're smile just like you filled with happiness like ray of sunshine coming to bless his life you are a gift for him send from the above his reward for all the hard work he's done
He remembers when he lost his father you were there with him the whole night consoling him you were there with him when he had to betray his dearest freind you were with him in every aspect of his lief and he wants to keep it like this but now no longer as a friend rather his wife
He remembers evey little things about the day you were born you're favourite food colour the first time you had you're period
He also remembers how you smiled at the shekhar his smile immediately disepearing even thinking about the shekhar makes him puke makes him want to beat him until he dies but he won't atleast not now
He smiles again thinking about the things he'd do to you ones you get married he keep his head on top of yours he closes his eyes and think about the life you'll spend together
Every thing would've been fine if only I knew the difference between love and freindship
He hates the way you're laughing at his jokes what did he say that you found so funny ram bets it something stupid and you're laughing at it because you're just being polite
“ hey guys ” oh how he loves the disappointed look on shekhar's face he thinks he can get to have you all alone
“ hi ram ” he puts his arm around you not missing the jealousy that flashed in shekhar's eye .
“ I think I should go i have work” shekhar leaves you and ram all alone just like he wished
Ram notices the tulip on you're hair furrowing his brows “ why is there tulip on you're hair”
“ oh” you touch the tulip resting on you're hair “ shekhar put this he likes tulips” why are you blushing while saying this god ge wants to punch shekhar for putting tulip on you're hair roses suits you the best and their your favourite he doesn't even know that
That was the start of my nightmare the person who made my life a living hell a big bad wolf disguised as a savior
Tagging my people

Sunflash the Mace and Skarlath the Kestrel
***Spoilers below for Outcast of Redwall if you haven’t read it yet, I know its an older book but new people pick up the series for the first time every day <3
Here I often gaze out o’er the seas,
When winter snows have gone to spring so fair,
Alone, except for butterflies and bees,
Remembering the times we used to share.
Not holding any friend on earth so true,
Upon my shoulder, good and faithful hawk,
O Skarlath, there was never one like you!
With a heavy heart I sit alone in grief,
Lord of the mountain, ruling over all.
Wishing I could split a single leaf,
To bring you back again, with our old call.
-Sunflash
Despite the everything wrong with Outcast of Redwall, Sunflash and Skarlath do their damndest to save the book with their wonderful freindship. Sunflash remains my favorite badgerlord in the whole series and this is one of the few books that has actually made me cry, and cry I did when Skarlath was slain and I felt Sunflash’s grief.
But there are no sad time here, as Sunflash and Skarlath take a stroll along the coast near Salamandastron enjoying one another’s company and protect and serve all the good beasts who look to them for help. Is this in the afterlife of the sunny valleys, brooks and meadows? Or just a memory? That’s up to you <3

Was Jk shading Taehyung during his New Years wishes to him at GDA? Twitter people are reading a LOT into it, saying that Jk is still salty at Tae and vice versa. They seem pretty chill to me. Why do people always find reasons to believe there is Vminkook drama?Is there a reason to think they aren't repairing their freindship?
VMINKOOK...
Tumblr media
First of all, why would JK shade Taehyung? What are they fighting about, I wonder. Has anyone known JK to be the passive aggressive king slash shade throwing one in that trio? Because, not me...
I don't see him as the, 'those two are hanging out now followed by a slight head tilt,' kind of person. The 'Jimin wants to come but JK is keeping him from coming,' the 'well, you ignore me anyway so I couldn't tell you were on a mission' kind.
Or even the, 'my friendship relationships are gold to me and it's important for me to nurture those connections' knowing damn well the elephant in the room has a possessive streak and he himself has been on record, allegedly, stating he has one same age friend and all his friends are hyungs- so what is JK to you then Jimin?
Then the whole, 'texting is not a great way to build connections and is a barrier to effective communication' -words spewed in full cognizance of the fact JK is a bad texter yet prefers texting to talking on phone anyway- that is what I call shade. Not sure what was in the water that day, but chilee Jimin was all over the place in that Be Behind video. Lmho.
I think everyone, including even the semi-rational Tuktukker, know damn well what JK meant by that statement and what had prompted it- but leave it to them to circumvent.
Ah, V hyung... we used to have a special bond. When we were trainees, we had such great chemistry. V used to be the easiest hyung to talk to, now it's awkward.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Where is the shade in this? I don't think at all that he is or was in anyway shading Tae or any one. To shade would imply he has stock. He don't.
I hate when people talk about Tae Kook as if there is something wrong with their bond. There isn't. It is what it is. It's just not what their shoppers make it out to be. They are looking for depth where there is none. The fact of the matter is Tae Kook lacks depth to their dynamics. We know it, JK knows it, BigHit knows it. No amount of bullying Jimin or Jokers will add that missing depth back to their relationship. Sorry.
'He is still salty,' honey he was never salty about anything to begin with. They tried it! Making it sound like JK wants Tae to change in order to relate with him again. He don't.
Why would JK be salty about Tae's growth? Why would he object to Tae's growth?
Because that's what it is. This whole Tae Kook tensions is not about them fighting, it's about them growing apart. Tae grew the fuck up and JK can't relate with him or treat him the way he used to when they were young.
Tumblr media
And if these self absorbed, legally blind shoppers looked beyond Tae Kook for a second, they will know it's not just JK complaining about Tae changing and becoming different as he grew up.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tae used to be the easiest hyung to talk to and bully because they were closer in age and Tae allowed for such familiarity between them. Similar to how, Jin and Jimin allows for a certain degree of familiarity and informality between them and Jk.
While Tae allowed and was open to this level of closeness and informality between them, JK apparently held on to the gates, only scraping the surface of it and inhibiting the depth that could have been to their dynamics.
Was Tae content with that dynamic? No. Did he communicate that to JK? May be he did but JK wouldn't let his guards down. Tae failed to breach JK's emotional boundaries and years later he would express this sentiment openly to JK in their conversation in Soop.
Whereas, JK admitted to Jimin's successful breach of his emotional walls when he recounted the story of their rainy day fight- let me not hear any one compare Jikook to any of JK's ship in BTS, I whoop your ass. D!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is the intimacy that is missing in Tae Kook. When you are close to someone, you not only feel at ease with them enough to express your thoughts freely with them, you are comfortable enough with them to be yourself, be different, to antagonize them without the fear that your differences and outbursts will sever your bond or lead to irreparable damage to your bond.
Fact is, in as much as JK felt close to Tae in the early days, he harbored a fear that being fully himself enough to be 'opinionated' and fully honest in his self expressions towards him, would break their bond.
He clearly didn't trust their bond was strong enough to handle all of that. That's the intimacy you find in Jikook. The trust. They are both unapologetically themselves with eachother because they trust in their bond.
Which means they share a lot but are also very opinionated with eachother, clash and assert themselves with eachother. And I know the kumbaya fake woke Jokers hate to hear it, but Jikook are strong not because they don't fight but because their bond withstands the test of a fight as Tae explained in his conversation with JK in Soop.
He was able to get closer with Jimin and Jin by being openly assertive with them- going against Jimin in the dumpling incident and all the times they fought, directly confrontational with Jin over their dance choreo but with JK he had always been scared to open himself in that way with him for whatever reason- I won't bother speculating on. It's their ship, they should do the maths.
May be he learned his lesson. He's learned not to fear conflict, to be assertive without fearing he would be punished for it, to be less passive aggressive as he was before and express himself and his feelings more openly over the years.
But it took him closing himself off to get there. Always looking in photos as if Yeontan ate the last brisket. Exuding melancholic vibes.
Young Jk equally didn't have a positive view on conflict and conflict resolution and I think he knew his place as the youngest and did not want to be as opinionated or assertive against them and so, as he explained to Tae in Soop, he opted to keep a safe distance emotionally from everyone- not just Tae.
When JK talks about we used to have a special bond, all he means is they used to be mischievous, get in trouble together, be brats, chat shit under their breaths behind their hyungs- partners in crime and as I like to call them, be the evil power duo of BTS.
They literally shared one brain cell lol, and conspired a lot. Their bond was unique only in that Tae was a rebel at heart and a bit innocent or immature as RM and the others would say.
Ship wise, Tae used to be on his side. He was protective of him and and looked out for him when they were young- that's of course before he started passive aggressively exposing JK's relationship with Jimin on VLives, incessantly shipping Jimin with Suga, dragging JK's ass away from JM's car so he could ride with him and all of those harmless moments that to anyone with little understanding of Tae's character would assume Tae didn't support JK's relationship.
And even after Soop, he put JK on the spot when he tried eye fucking Jimin through the view finder during their dynamite MV- he knew what JK was going to do. He's seen him do that a countless times to Jimin- HE KNOWS.
There is a reason JK gave him that look in the Dynamite shoot interview when he thought Tae was intentionally trying to expose him holding hands with Jimin behind Suga.
As much as these little things may be irritating to Kook, I don't think Tae gotta kiss his ass too. Jk can be messy sometimes with his Jikook agenda.
Of course they dynamic would change if Tae changed too- which is what Jimin and everyone says of Taehyung. He is very reserved and mature now. He is not the same childish, immature, reckless teen JK or Tuktukkers used to know.
He grew faster than either JK or JM had hoped and they both miss that part of him. Tae said he wished he could get a time machine and show Army the 'Chimchar' he was back in the day. The only way Taekook can be real is if we all hop into a time machine and go back in time to change the trajectory of events.
Tuktukkers need to let go of their old ship, that ship is dead and embrace the new ship brewing in its stead.
Jimin have said occasionally, that side of Tae pops out but he is very different from who he used to be when they were young. Which explains these outbursts of moments and interactions reminiscent of their past bond but that's all that is.
Why do these people insist on infantilizing Tae and holding him to his past?
That comment at GDA wasn't shade. But it was an inside Joke I feel. Like I said, when JK talks about their past history and bond, to me it's reference to a time period where Tae was on his side and was mischievous. To me it's code for 'I miss when you were less uptight and strict.'
He brought up when Tae gave them leeway and was lenient with their schedule during the making of Be- a sentiment all the members expressed in the Be behind video when they praised Tae for giving them much room in their schedules.
It was the same thing he said during his speech to Tae at GDA after bringing up the whole past bond thingy. He wanted to express appreciation to Tae perhaps because the loose schedule Tae had created had given him much time to go home and give his man a blowjob or go house shopping with him- who knows.
The way he kept looking at Jimin while saying that... yea. I'm going with that. Lol.
That loose schedule definitely put Tae in JK and JM's good graces.
My take away from that moment though, is- JK's agenda to give Tuktukkers hernia🤣
Lord I'm dying. I laughed so hard my ribs hurt. Pray for me. Lmho.
Chilee JK.
Dude is on a mission to run the entire Taekook gay, Taekook married propaganda campaign into the ground. What guts me is, he knows what Tae Kook is. I bet he went online after that Tae Kook Vlive to watch Tae Kook compilations. He's been on a mission to obliterate that ship since. Lol.
I mean I won't put it past him. Probably looked up Yoonmin while he was at it and showed Jimin analysis videos of him moaning in Suga's bedroom🤣🤣🤣🤣
Would explain why he was laughing when he saw Yoonmin in the comments during the VLive and why Jimin looked like he wanted to eat us alive. Lmho.
Oh Tae touched my peepee? You bloody moaned in Suga's bedroom how about we call it even?
ROTFL.
I joke but I mean, this is the same dude who took an online personality test after Tae read his results to him in Soop- he definitely watched those Tae Kook compilation-Y'all laugh else I'll shoot you. Lmho. I can't be the only one who finds this funny!
He knows what shipping is, he knows how statements like that would be construed by the fans- and the fact Jimin had spent an entire interview and behind scenes openly disavowing his glorified friendship connections... I smell a renewal of commitment somewhere.
Don't mind me. I play too much sometimes.
There is nothing wrong with Tae Kook's friendship. If anything, it seems JK feels very appreciative of Tae in recent times which is usually a good sign between them because for Vminkook to thrive they all need to make space for eachother and for the pairings amongst them to thrive- Vmin, Taekook and Jikook.
I hope this helps?
Signed,
GOLDY

This here is xixi! The one and only defective prototype!
Let's see if I can find her file around here...
MWAH! Here it is!
.
.
The Prototype is one of (Pats) many creations by the name of XiXi, who seems to be magically challenged. Its original purpose was to connect all of (Pats) creations to one soul, but it ultimately failed when it was discovered that (Xixi) had multiple concerning defects.
It seems that the prototype sees itself as a failure, and wishes to redeem itself in the eyes of Its creator by following and protecting the occupant of 'The Seal', a successful version of what (Xixi) was meant to be
The current possessor of 'The Seal' is unknown
Known battle stats:
(XiXi)
LV:1
HP:0
ATK:4
DEF:15
EXP:0
known other stats:
Appearance: This creation is a five foot three (160cm) Skeleton monster with X shaped eyelights and a usually worried expression. It dresses in a plaid sweater, black leggings and brown boots.
Nature: This creation can be found trailing after the possessor of 'The Seal', and is strangely overprotective of them. They are the only person (Xixi) will willingly join a fight for.
The creation seems to be dense, and is constantly worrying for the people around it, it is also very in tune with the emotions of others, but has issues expressing its own.
Due to one of its defects, (Xixi) can often be seen snacking on one of the many food items in its inventory.
It sometimes disappears to an unknown location, attempts to follow the creation there have been futile.
Abilities/Defects: This monster lacks its own magic and attacks, and is unable to survive without (A., constantly feeding off of the magic of those around it and (B., Constantly consuming magic rich food.
⚠️ It is imperative that this creation eats at minimum once a day, if it were to go 24 hours without food, it would pass out and siphon the magic from those around it until everything in its radius is dead ⚠️
Though it doesn't have its own magic, it has the ability to mimic the attacks of others. The specifics of this defect is unknown.
We aren't sure what the cause of its strange HP is, but once questioned, (Xixi) stated that was yet another defect, and the only reason (Xixi) hadn't dusted was because of its souls strong bond to entities it referred to as 'The lollipop guild'. These entities are unknown.
Motives/Alliances: Its motives are unclear. It seems like (Xixi) has sworn loyalty to its creator, despite (Pat)'s questionable actions. It does not question its creator, presumably afraid of being discarded or abandoned.
That being said, it doesn't seem to have any foes either. It doesn't reject freindship from anyone, and will only engage in battle when 'The Seal' is in harms way.
Recently we have seen (Xixi) attempt to befriend 'The destroyer', after he was ordered by 'The King' to kidnap it in order to gain leverage. For what we are unsure of.
As of now this creation poses no threat, and seems to be friendly enough to engage

for the character ask...OUR FAV BOY LIU SANG
(*´∇`*)/💖
i had to come answer this one bc!! my son!!!! aaaaaaahhhh!!!!!! so thank you sob now i can talk about my second sour grape boy,,, wait. ok well, hissy kitten  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  spot the difference (you can’t)
give me a character
(placing this one under a cut too bc oh boy. i have things to say about liu sang)
How I feel about this character
Good lord. I feel so many ways about Liu Sang. He is absolutely amazing but he also just drives me insane every day. No other character has ever given me such headaches, he must be proud. Finally someone suffers as much as him (because I bet those ears cause him a permanent migraine). I feel sorry for him. I’ll take this pain gladly if it helps him in any way. 
But well. As simply as with Jiang Cheng, I do love Liu Sang. I shouldn’t really be surprised (at this point) that I fell in love with him but back when I was watching Reboot, he hit me like a truck. Which,,, he probably drove that truck himself, judging from the way he was handling the car chase with Jiang Zisuan. Just ruthlessly drove me over. I never stood a chance, not in front of that arrogance and stubbornness and enormous puppy eyes. 
And with all of himself, good and bad, he makes me feel so many things. One of those, probably the strongest one, is protectiveness. He needs someone to protect him from himself because he has a nasty self-destruction streak going. Boy has not known love since he was born. He has gone through way too much to try handle it alone. I can’t even remember how old he is supposed to be in Reboot (maybe 29?), but that is way too many years of fighting a battle he was never supposed to win. But he pulled through. Cynical and prickly and absolutely terrified of any human contact but he fucking pulled through. I want to fight some battles for him now. He deserves to rest. He deserves some peace and quiet and unconditional care. I want to tell him that he doesn’t deserve all the pain he’s going through, all the pain he himself is putting his body through because he thinks he can only be used as a punching bag. I want to tell him he deserves friends. I want to tell him that it’s okay to trust people again. I want to... just protect him. And maybe this is why – because of all this fragile mess I’ve discovered from inside of him while trying to figure out who he is – I struggle so much with writing him. I feel like I’m bringing up things no one is supposed to see. I feel like I’m pulling out words from him like teeth. But at the same time, I know he’s desperate to tell these things. 
So I struggle because I love him. Willingly. But oh boy does he annoy me sometimes, under all that protectiveness and fondness I have for him.  
All the people I ship romantically with this character
I am quite sure at this point that I don’t really ship Liu Sang with anyone. No one clicks with him in my head so well that I could feel myself slipping into the proper shipping territory. But I haven’t minded any of the ships I’ve seen for him, not Pingxiesang (which makes me super soft) or him with Kanjian (which is so sweet) or even @kholran’s pool noodle Risang (which is very interesting and I will read your fic, friend, when I am out of my Pingxie pit! I just need to feed these beasts first). I am mostly just very intrigued by all these ships people come up with because it really plays to my wish to just explore his dynamic with every other character that is available for him. 
But to put it simply: Not one perfect match exists for him yet in my head. Let’s give boy some time to figure out freindships first. 
My non-romantic OTP for this character
Well, this one I love because! This is what he is all about for me, somehow. So I will mention three: Xiaoge, Bai Haotian, and Pangzi. 
First, like I already mentioned in my Xiaoge answer, I adore Liu Sang’s dynamic with his ouxiang. They are both so damn awkward. I feel like I’m following a train wreck happening in slow motion any time I see them interact but instead of death and flames and screeching metal, it’s. surprisingly soft and sweet? They are both very tentative when it comes to people so they somehow get each other? Even if Liu Sang is a mess when it comes to Xiaoge which I totally get because I have once in my life met a person I consider a celebrity and who I look up to a lot and I was just shaking. And giggling. And acting dumbly. So I don’t blame Liu Sang for any of that; I’m actually quite proud that he’s keeping his cool so well and despite the rough start, manages to be a huge asset to his ouxiang. I am so happy that he gets to have this budding friendship with Xiaoge because they both need it.
Then! Bai Haotian. I’ve been thinking about them a lot lately and the more I rewatch some of their scenes together, the more I notice that they really develop a bond during Reboot. They are in a very similar position: brought in because of their idols, young, sometimes overlooked, struggling, and usually falling behind. And oh, definitely in need of some saving and with tragic backstories. They could be such amazing friends, and I think they come to trust and care for each other during their trip to Thunder City. Bai Haotian is so caring by nature and then Liu Sang is just right there. And Bai Haotian is so lowkey about her care; she doesn’t push if people don’t want her to, which works so well for Liu Sang. She’s there when needed. She doesn’t ask too much. She knows how it feels to look up to one of the members of the Iron Triangle and then curl your own life around them. (She also knows how it feels to have a crush on that same member and then notice that crush will never lead you anywhere, though I guess Bai Haotian comes to realize that during their trip instead of years before but well, details.) She doesn’t judge Liu Sang and somehow Liu Sang comes to rely on her a lot. 
And last but not least (never the least!): Pangzi. God I adore these two to bits. Their banter is just *chef’s kiss* and when I look at them, all I can think about is a big dog trying to pat a hissing kitten with its paw. Which then turns to the kitten play fighting the dog’s big paw. And then getting tired. And falling asleep. While the huge dog just curls its body around the kitten to keep it warm, and maybe the kitten swats at the dog slightly for show but actually it enjoys it. Because it’s nice and soft and very warm. So yes, I love it how Pangzi and Liu Sang start off as enemies but come to care for each other. I cry about the peanut scene every day. Yes please adopt this poor stray kitten, he deserves a loving home ;; Give him food and a blanket and maybe he will hiss a little less (Pangzi also gives great hugs and Liu Sang deserves a dozen. For starters.) 
My unpopular opinion about this character
Once again I am at a loss with this. I don’t really know what this fandom thinks about Liu Sang? I feel like our tiny Liu Sang hyping corner here on tumblr is very much unified with the opinions. We all love him a lot and want the best for him, case closed. So maybe I’ll just talk about my hypersensitivity headcanon for him? Let me do that for fun haha
So, I know he’s sensitive to sounds. Understandable, with his skills. And I feel bad for him for that because it must be horrible at times (we get introduced to him through him vomiting because he can’t handle a train station with all the noise, christ) but I also somehow relate to that. I get sensitive to sounds sometimes too. A simple click of my mouse can be annoying at times. I require absolute silence quite often, and this intensifies if my emotions are on the negative side. So, somehow I’m taking things from that. Touch hurts when he’s feeling bad about himself. Noises annoy him when he’s angry or scared. Lights look too bright or he feels like he can’t focus his gaze when he’s sad or panicking. Smells and tastes are intensified when he’s stressed. I dunno, just simple little things. Him feeling through his senses. Him just generally being sensitive with his feelings because this world is a demanding place and pushes you into feeling things. And I feel like a lot about him is already tied to his hearing so why not his feelings too? I’ve read so many nice takes on him which somehow support this so I feel like this just fits right in. 
One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon
Liu Sang joins the final celebration!! Him just disappearing doesn’t make sense at all!!!! Let him get hugs!!! Let him be happy!!!! Oh my god. I was so mad about that and still am because no way did he just leave and not join his new friends for this final evening!!! Dammit. No matter how much he feels like he doesn’t belong and like he’s just “a hired talent” among them, he’s not that dull!! He got those damn peanuts and some hugs and shoulder pats from people, he was there saving the day, he managed to create bonds!!! And god, knowing Wu Xie, he would never allow Liu Sang to think that lowly of himself!!!! He would be there to offer Liu Sang the world if he wants it!! Gaaaahhhh
So yeah, give Liu Sang his moment with his new family or I am throwing something, for fuck’s sakes
thank you again for sending me these asks ♥ i’ll answer the rest during these next few days! you’re amazing!!

Idk if your dtsmp live action is an au you already have (and for clarification we're talking like an actors au right? Where the dtsmp is all like a big movie/show and their all actors right?)
Anyway fun hcs about this idea cause yeah of course I'm in love with this idea- who do you think i am? Not a theater kid?
Also if this isn't what the au is then I'm very sorry you get some random ass headcanons for an au you're not thinking about ssksjsj
Wilbur as one of the main directors makes sure that nearly everything they film is used, which is also how cursed lore got added to the story- they have so so many blooper reels
Techno hates his costume cause its so fucking stuffy ESPECIALLY when they had to film for the Manburg War because it was so sunny outside. But if anyone DARES complain with him about it, he makes a complete 180- "What? You don't like my MARVELOUS cape and mask? I look 100× better than ALL of you lot so suck it"
Tubbo and Tommy like to swap out prop food for absolutely cursed shit. A scene where someone has to eat a slice of pie? The pie filling is now 87% toothpaste.
Wilbur Techno and Phil all live in the same area and Wil has to drive Tommy and Tubbo to their houses after shooting so they all pile into one car and scream music on the way home
Karl always shows up late for shoots and so all the lore heavy scenes are mostly done by the time he gets there and so he misses out. Quackity makes it up to him by buying him good food after shoots
The Freindship emeralds weren't actually scripted- the camera just happened to be rolling when Techno gave Phil a birthday present and Wilbur demanded they keep the footage
Everyone goes off script from time to time for flavor, but Quackity does it most often. It's actually led to a lot of really metal scenes with genuine reactions from other actors.
Ranboo is really shy about his acting since he's just been recruited for the show, but Tommy and Tubbo immediately latched onto him. Him and Tommy accidently set fire to one of the sets offscreen and got into a WHOLE lot of trouble
Puffy doubles as her own character and Friend. She wants to murder Wilbur for this decision.
Niki and Puffy are actually dating off set but everyone just thinks they're super dedicated to the bit.
Sam and Bad bake all/a lot of the prop food and off set snacks- everyone loves them for this.
Dream and Wilbur fight a LOT about directing and sometimes the plot will go days without moving because the two can't agree on what should happen since they're both stubborn asses. Its usually a compromise suggestion from Tommy or Techno that resolves it all. Fights are forgotten fast :)
Most people don't know anything other than their own scripts- which means that reactions are more genuine and also...sometimes mistakes are made
Once Tubbo read his line wrong and said something very....not right, and didn't notice for a solid 10 min as everyone tried to keep character bc they didn't know the line was wrong. Tommy just about shit himself laughing when he found out.
Idk thats all i got for now have fun :)
This is absolutely wonderful and i love it so much and i wish this is what the au im refering to was asdfghgfds

Being Home -- Part 7
It’s not just as straight forward as walking through the front door and saying hi.
Part 1 / Part 2 / Part 3 / Part 4 / Part 5 / Part 6
Alternatively Read on AO3
Under the cut for Spoilers for The Long Reach Part 2!!!
He hadn’t pushed for her to come to him, and he hadn’t brought it up with any of the boys. His mother had assured him that the relationship between Tanusha and the Hood was out in the open now. Yet it felt like broaching the subject with her was somehow still wrong. 
He wasn’t sure if it was a shock or not that his own disappearance had lead to Kyrano becoming crazed by his brother’s actions, leading him down a spiralling path that nobody was sure he could ever get fully out of. 
Val told him that the younger woman still hadn’t forgiven her Uncle for her father’s ill health, something Jeff had had to question further about. Answers had been clipped, the look in Val’s eyes telling him that they weren’t questions for her to answer. 
They had always been close. Since the day the Hood had threatened her in front of him there had been a fierce need to protect the daughter he had never had. Kyrano was still very much her father, but Tanusha and Jeff’s relationship had been just as close and he had cherished it. The days where she had come to him, just because, and the nights where she had shared her hopes, dreams, and fears. He knew it was a privelige that she let him as close as she did, and his heart lurched at the thought that maybe things might have changed. That maybe, in leaving, he had let her down.
He wasn’t sure if Tanusha purposefully waited until he was feeling mentally better, or if it were a coincidence. He wondered if it were Virgil that had told her, after all it was the middle son whom he had confided in earlier in the week that his head was finally feeling clearer. Emotions that had felt fragile after reentry were settling, the tight feeling in his chest that had nothing to do with the air pressure had finally eased enough to allow him to dare to breathe. For the first time in years he was starting to feel human again. 
Then the young, vulnerable girl he had unintentionally left behind had turned up. Green eyes scanning him as if he could break on her at any moment, wide and fearful. 
“Tanusha?” He murmured, pulling the reading glasses off and setting them on the table. 
She swallowed as she stepped into the room, taking a slow breath as she folded her arms and looked to the floor. 
“I’m sorry.”
He frowned, not following the statement for the briefest of moments. 
Then realisation hit.
“Kayo,” He tutted softly, pushing himself to his feet and wincing at the stiffness in his knees. Eyes tracked him as he crossed the room to her, limping as his left knee refused to wake up from having been sat for quite so long. 
If she thought his hands resting on her shoulders was simply a way for him to hold himself up, she would have been wrong. 
“What happened wasn’t your fault.”
The way her lip trembled as she looked up to him told him everything he needed to know. Maybe the truth was out in the open, maybe his mother had told her a million times that she couldn’t blame herself, maybe he had come home safe. 
None of that mattered to the young woman stuck in the middle of it all. 
“You do not control your Uncle’s actions,” He murmured to her, “You couldn’t have known what he would do.”
Her eyes dropped as she shook her head, her arms wrapping around herself as she sniffed, “Pappa blamed himself. He went after him, and when he came back…” she trailed off, eyes screwing shut with the memory as she reaching up to scrub at her face with her fists. 
“Oh darling.” He sighed, arms pulling her into his chest and holding on tight. 
It was too little far too late. He should have told the boys from the outset despite her protests. Of course it would have created additional friction for her once he was gone. With the Hood to blame for it all he could only imagine what had gone through the young woman’s mind. 
“Uncle broke Pappa,” she whispered, resting her head on his shoulder, “and I couldn’t stop either of them.”
Jeff had been there before, stuck between the two brothers trying to stop one from tearing a lump out of the other. Despite being a calm man, Kyrano was as subborn as Jeff himself. He could guess how the man would have blamed himself for his brothers actions just as his daughter obviously had done. He would have become fixated, determined to stop the Hood from doing any more harm. 
Apparently at cost to himself. 
He wasn’t sure there were any words of comfort he could utter to help. What did you say to the woman that had lost everyone dear to her? 
“I hate him.” She murmured, “I hate my Uncle and I hope he rots.”
It wasn’t the kind of statement he would expect from her. Eight years was a long time to harbour feelings towards a man that had taken both her father and someone she saw as a father from her. 
Although he wouldn’t say it quite so explicitly, Jeff could appreciate the feeling. The Hood had once been a friend, but after all that he had done to both families, Jeff knew that the freindship had truly been forgotten. 
“Can I see him?” He asked her, frowning as he looked down, “Will your father take visitors?”
Pulling back, she smiled slightly, “I think he would like that.”
Jeff nodded, tucking her hair back behind her ear with a small smile of his own. The Hoods words from weeks earlier echoing in his ears. 
***
His mother had tried to insist they go inside, but Jeff was far more interested in ensuring the Hood made it safely to custody. It was only that Virgil had taken his side, reminded his grandmother that Jeff knew more of the Hood’s tricks than anyone, that had seen her give in. 
He didn’t mention that he was also hoping to catch Val before she left. Only to be disappointed when Scott informed him that Colonel Casey had already left the Island with the pair of siblings known as the Chaos Crew, leaving a young Captian and his team to recieve their special guest. 
As they had stepped back out onto the runway, Virgil under his arm, he had instantly spotted the man in question. Tall but stocky in build, and clearly laughing at whatever the woman stood with him was saying. 
“Is that--” He started, not sure if it was still the change in light that was messing with his eyes, or if Kayo really had grown up that much. 
Virgil hummed in question as he glanced across to him and then back to the GDF flier, “Oh, your eyes, uh, I should have got you some sunglasses or something.”
Shaking his head Jeff waved him off, “I can manage without for now, this is more important.”
Tutting, he felt rather than saw the disapproval in his son’s face as he focused on the daughter he had never had. Yes, it was definitely her, just grown from a girl into a young woman. The childish roundness of her cheeks gone, but the trademark ponytail remaining. 
As they neared he didn’t miss the way her face dropped at the sight of her Uncle. She had seemed to be quite happy talking to Rigby until the rest of them had arrived. Her glare was cold and aimed solely at the man Scott and Gordon were escorting towards the GDF carrier. 
“Captian Rigby,” Scott nodded, “I trust you’ll take good care of our uninvited guest here.”
Rigby grimaced as he took a grip on the Hood’s arm, “Don’t you worry, we have a nice cell in Solitary Confinement all ready and waiting for him.”
Jeff straightened, knowing that there was little that could easily hold him, “You had best check him for gadgets as well…”
He trailed off as the Captian’s eyes landed on him, the young man’s back straightening. 
“Colonel Tracy, Sir, an honour to finally meet you.” A glance towards his detainee and he added, “I only wish it were different circumstances.”
Watching the Hood, Jeff nodded, “There’ll be time for all that, Captain. Just be sure he doesn’t give you any trouble.”
He didn’t miss how the Hood rolled his eyes, “Yes, yes, I’m still here you know?”
“I’d enjoy the company whilst you can,” Rigby commented, “It’s the last you’re going to get for a very long time.”
The Hood snorted, turning his gaze back on Jeff with that knowing smile the father had come to hate, “In that case, Jeff, do give my regards to my brother. That is if he is taking visitors now, I seem to recall him being somewhat deranged the last time I visited.”
“That’s enough.” Virgil growled, his whole body tensing alongside his father’s. 
“Get him out of here.” Kayo uttered. 
He knew there was an obvious question to be asked. When he had left Kyrano had been home, very much part of the family life. Yet, it was only the reminder from the man’s brother that had led Jeff to realise the absence of one of his closest friends. 
From the look on everyone’s face though, he could guess it wasn’t the time for such a question. Kyrano was no longer at home on the Island, and Jeff dreaded to think what that could mean for the other man’s health.
