Yaaay my favourite season 😊 time to be hurt again! @a-mag-a-day
in s4 i love how everything sucks, and everyones at each others throats, but there's no clear saboteur between our protagonists; they're all making choices which are reasonable from their perspective, even if it hurts the people around them
like here, of course Jon deserves to be greeted by someone who's happy to see him alive - he just woke up from a fucking 6-month long coma, for gods sake! But instead of a hug or even a "glad you're back," what he gets is Tim dead, Daisy gone, Martin isn't there, Basira 'wants to talk later' about if she's disappointed he's back, and Georgie can't get out of the room fast enough. And all his clothes are gone. what the hell?
but at the same time, neither Basira nor Georgie owe it to Jon to be his friend. The last we heard of Georgie, she was telling Jon that he needed people around him, that she wanted to help him, that he didn't need to move out, that she didn't want him to cut her off. That was over 20 episodes ago!
Did he talk to her at all in the meantime, (inbetween kidnappings, to be fair, he did have other things on his mind, but Georgie's only sources are Melanie and Jon himself, and how much do you want to bet that they both exaggerated Jon's role in any of the situations they found themselves in)? She still visits him in hospital, she's there when tape recorders suddenly appear, she's there as he wakes up -
and the first thing he does is to refuse to even be looked at by a nurse, deny that he needs any help, refuses to admit that there might be anything worrying about being 'fine' after 6 months of being basically dead. Georgie has experience with someone walking around when they're supposed to be dead, and it killed her best friend and scarred her for life. so maybe she chooses here to get a bit of distance from Jon, for her own safety
Basira had some friendly interactions with him, but she was literally investigating him for murder and trying to keep him from fleeing the country. Then she's made into a hostage, goes to the Unknowing, barely makes it out alive of an exploding building, only to find that she's the sole survivor, if you don't count the body that's apparently not braindead.
It looks like Jon, but how can you be sure? She's done her research, it wouldn't be the first time the Stranger replaced someone. Melanie is getting more violent by the day, and Martin has decided that apparently it's a good idea now to work together with the evil manager. They're constantly under threat by evil cults and living meat, basically living out of the Archives. And Daisy, her partner of years and years, her solid point, is gone. So when the body that looks like Jon suddenly starts to breath again after being visited by an End Avatar, priority #1 is finding out how big of a threat he is, with 'worrying about Jon's emotional state' a far second

Novembmas, Day 16: Trade / Receiding Hairline !
Granitas are the best, what can I say <3
Transcription: (1) [E] "Ooh can I have some of your granita ?" / (2) [I] "Sure, try it"
(3) [E] "Thanks, here, you can have some of my ice cream in exchange"
(The stuff under their eyes is tear tracks lol)
Transcription:
First image: (After being back from getting eeby-deebied) (E) "Lmaoo you're bald" / [arrow pointing Ingo moving his right hand to touch his hair] (E) "!"
Second image: (E) "..." / (E) "Nooooo-"
"Receiding hairline" idea explanation under the cut
Sooo, I assume that lots of people will get the sibling culture I'm referencing in the "Receiding hairline" submission but anyway- just to be safe- :
Inspired by something I did to my youngest sister when I first got acne. At the time she made comments about it that could have brought down people sensible about it.
I don't remember being hurt by them, mostly because she was young, but I didn't want her to say the same to our other siblings (who would start to have acne soon) and have them take it more to heart.
So, I'd touch my forehead/face, then touch hers before saying "Okay, now you'll also get it" as a way to say,, like,,, "Sure but it's not something you can control on the spot, and since you have to go through it, it's kinder not to make remarks/jokes like that"
That ans I also wanted to pretend like I cursed her lol
I dunno honestly 😅 but anywau, basically : Ingo cursed Emmet with the baldness inevitability curse(tm) lol
