happy pride!🏳️🌈 Friendly reminder: i'm drawing a lgbt canon couple daily for pride month, follow me or check my profile to see the rest!🏳️🌈 Thanks for the support!
ngl if euphoria has an s3 i just wanna see all the girls happy in therapy and developing healthy repaired relationships and nate suffering. they need some succession writers pulling cousin greg succession whump levels of pathetic. make that man a loser as kat knew. not bc he isn’t living up to his expectations but bc he feels no shame about the harm he’s caused others. also, more interaction w elliot and nate just awkwardly in college altho i hope elliot meets a nice guy like a jock similar to who derek was and despite their differences, they grow to find happiness. maybe someone straight lace like lexi but social anxiety-ridden like rue and struggles to communicate, but in times of stress blurts out the truth and elliot just laughs bc he knows and is deeply intuitive.
like so far even when i’m in college nate is not relatable, and in fact the moment u get here you’re surrounded by ppl who are sometimes more advanced than u and i wanna see him crushed under that while refusing to improve and it killing him in this graphic, gory manner with intense greek mythological creature horror effects while the girls are motivated in whatever their choose to do w their lives but also make efforts to repair their relationships to one another.
the aesthetics revert to this glittery s1 while cassie adopts a darker, more effy stonem look but simply “darker and messy” but not fully emo like kat was, while dressing how she truly wants to dress w/o influence of maddy, but also in more complex mixed layers and patterns. lots of dark blues, maroon reds, blacks, greys, and silvers. some vivienne westwood archive looks that sounds cute and lexi wore a miu miu dress lol and bc cassie is now embracing her body but for her own sake and not anyone elses w/o feeling like she has to compensate to just exist. for once, she lets herself exist and dress as she wants even if others make fun of her or find it over the top, but it’s her.
and i’m assuming cassie finds friends who don’t give a shit abt her past w the leaks and in fact affirm she was a victim in that situation by those who manipulated her. the context of this is connected to kat, and rue narrates the negatives of what lat went thru similarly and closes the gap w her by acknowledging her presence (which levinson sounds scared to do) now that barbie is no longer present in the show.
also jules and rue seem to have mended things but i hope they talk bc a lot was left unsaid when they didn’t speak. cassie also needs to apologize to maddy bc it’s clear a part of her regrets her actions (ex: flaunting maddy’s abuser in her face) altho cassie is now part of nate’s abusive cycle and some of it is out of her control and she feels lonely, and knew inside that maddy and her family held that support nate and his disaffected parents could never replace. she does need to find friends outside of maddy tho bc part of her feels like she can’t always admit the truth to her, and college is the perfect atmosphere for new friends who acknowledge but don’t hate the old you.
it’s clear cassie never liked nate and liked the idea of someone who disregarded her past (even if she doesn’t know he was in on the reason the entire school demeans her) and i’d also like rue and lexi being roommates. lexi might be a writer but consider something else more “practical” like a stem field, and rue is undecided but considers becoming a child psychologist. i see jules as an artist that often brings awareness to childhood psychiatric abuses in her art as she grows popular, and moves to ny w maddy eventually
maddy and jules remain friends, and maddy decides to leave in east highland but adapt to college there first, as all she needed was a transition from her traumas associated w high school, and majors in fashion design, marketing, and fashion sustainability while also acing math bc surprise suprise this girl remembers everything. cassie i’m not so sure of, i think she’d be an excellent public speaker (obviously lmao) but i’m not sure what career she’d map out
***also nate’s secret brother, tyler, and anna are addressed
Summary: Elliot and Jules’ baby shower attracts some unlikely guests. Companion series to Because Of You & Before You.
Warning: this is a mature series that includes mentions of drug use/overdose, mental illness, explicit language and mentions of sex.
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6
They knew it’d be good, the first time they were all ‘together, together.’ Healing what was broken, solidifying the bonds that have been strained for so long. Elliot’s neighbors definitely got an earful.
After that things get better.
Rue finally drags Elliot down to an NA meeting. He doesn’t know if it’ll work for him, but Rue insists they helped save her life. Turns out it’s not all bullshit. Wanting to be sober helps too. Y/N and Jules entertain themselves while they’re gone.
Whatever worries the four of them had about the logistics of all this seem silly now. The idea that this would someday end also felt impossible.
The longer they stayed there, hole up in Elliot’s apartment, the less desire anyone had to leave. Like they might all just stay crammed into one tiny bed for the rest of their lives.
———————————————————————
Y/N’s belly is growing by the day. A happy, healthy baby kicking away inside. Jules feels the first one, entirely by coincidence. Or maybe it was the sound of her voice that sent a tiny foot soaring into her palm. Jules’ smile is brighter than the sun.
The baby won’t move for Elliot, which becomes a running joke. Baby Vaughn-Collins already picked a favorite before he or she was even born. Jules and Elliot decide not to find out the sex until birth, but they all have predictions.
Y/N is thirty-four weeks along when the nursery is finally ready. She and Rue are invited over to see it. Cream colored walls, with soft gender neutral pastels, turn their former guest room into a rainforest themed oasis for their bundle of joy.
“It’s beautiful,” Rue tells them, running her finger tips over the soft sheets inside the crib.
Jules smiles, “I still can’t believe it.”
Elliot is unusually quiet. Y/N pulls him aside, into the hallway.
“Cold feet?”
“Nah. It’s just all getting real, you know? Filling out all that paperwork-”
“Did you change your mind?” Y/N asks, even though it’s too late to really change his mind.
“This was a terrible idea and I’m so sorry.”
“Elliot, what?”
“When this is over you’re gonna understand.” He runs a hand over his face. “You’re gonna be happy for me and Jules. You’re gonna think that everything is the way it’s supposed to be and all is right with the world. Your life will go on, you’ll watch them grow up with the best parents any kid could ask for.
You’ll come to their birthday parties, help with their homework, and maybe even coach their soccer team. You’ll worry when they’re sick. They’ll love you and you’ll love them. Most times it’ll make you happy-”
“Elliot stop, it’s ok.” Y/N cuts him off. “It’ll be ok, we’ll figure it out. Maybe sometimes I’ll be sad. Like when I leave the hospital without a baby for the first time. Or the first few weeks when I’m all swollen and in pain, I’ll probably cry myself to sleep-”
Elliot wraps her up in his arms. “Come stay with us. Or we’ll stay with you guys. Whatever is better for you and Rue and the kids, but please don’t fucking do that.”
“No, that’s part of it.” Y/N murmurs against his neck. “Part of letting go, we have to allow that separation. You have to let yourself feel it.”
“Did your therapist tell you to do that?” Elliot draws back slightly to look at her. “He’s fucking fired.”
“You can’t fire my therapist, Elliot.” Y/N laughs, “I shouldn’t have said anything.”
“Bullshit,” he snaps. “I’m glad you did. Rather than having to find out later. Does Rue know?”
“Yeah. She’ll be with me.” Rue knows everything.
“And I don’t get the option to be with you?” That’s the rub isn’t it? She’s his once removed. Not his wife, not the mother of his children, not his anything.
“We can discuss it.” Y/N agrees. “All four of us, there are four people in this. Not just me and you.”
Elliot nods, “fine, yeah.”
“I love you and I’m glad we had this talk.” God, that feels weird. It’s good to have discussions instead of just doing things and watching them blow up in their faces. That’s part of finding a better thing.
“I just love you.”
“I know.” That’s why they fight. Why they always have and why they always will.
“I don’t want you to feel alone in this. Or like you only have Rue. You have me and Jules.”
Maybe they could all stay together…just for a little while.
———————————————————————
Y/N is thirty-nine weeks and one day pregnant at Jules and Elliot’s baby shower. The timing is slightly precarious because the date kept getting moved around. No sign of baby yet, just Braxton hicks contractions that wake Y/N from a dead sleep.
Rue’s been amazing through the whole thing, she wakes with Y/N. Rubbing her back, whispering soothing words, that she’s safe and loved. That’s she’s ok and this won’t last forever.
The baby shower is beautiful, small and intimate, at Elliot and Jules’ house. Their friends and family are very accepting of their situation. Even though not everyone fully understands it. Like Fez, for example, who’s just arriving with a giant box.
He’s been happy in his new life. Without the drugs or the dealing or…Ash. He has Lexi and their children to ground him. Keep him motivated. Somehow time marches on.
“Jules?” Someone taps Y/N on the shoulder.
“Uh, no.” Y/N smiles, turning to face them. It’s not anyone she’s seen before, but the woman reminds her of someone she knows very well. “I’m just…incubating. Jules is around here somewhere.” Y/N looks to the long white table, adorned with mint green ribbons, where Jules was just a minute ago.
“How do you know Elliot?”
“He’s my friend.” Y/N tells her, feeling Cameron tug at her hand.
“Mommy, can I have some more snacks?”
“Yeah, baby. Go ahead.” Y/N ruffles his curls before he rips back across the room.
“Is he yours?” She knows. Cameron looks just like him.
“Yes.” Y/N clears her throat, growing more uncomfortable by the second. “So, how do you know Elliot?”
“I’m his mother.”
His mother. Y/N’s heart clenches. Elliot has only seen his mother a handful of times since he went to live with this aunt and cousin. If they’re on speaking terms, he hasn’t mentioned it.
Y/N isn’t sure what to do and she can’t see Elliot among the crowd anywhere. “It’s nice to meet you.”
“It’s nice to meet you too.”
“Will you excuse me for a moment?” It’s rude, Y/N knows it is. But this feels wrong, Elliot or Jules should be here. Not her, it isn’t her place.
“Of course.” The woman smiles softly.
Y/N dashes down the hall, and up the stairs to the second floor bathroom. She jiggles the handle only to find it locked. Come on. She needs to pee and have a breakdown. Y/N doesn’t knock, taking a seat on Elliot and Jules’ bed and pulling out her cell phone to text Rue while she waits.
‘Hiding in the bedroom. Someone’s in the bathroom and I really have to go. I might jump out the window and climb onto the top of the garage, then use the trash cans to get down, so I can leave without anyone seeing me. Do you think I’ll make it?’
Rue’s response comes a few seconds later. ‘No, I do not think your pregnant ass will make it. What happened?’
‘Elliot’s mom is here.’
‘I just ran into her and Jules’ mom.’
‘Why is she here?’
‘I don’t know. I didn’t send the invites, but Jules and Elliot are M.I.A.’
Y/N sighs. ‘I’m gonna knock and see who’s in the bathroom.’
‘You prepared an escape plan without knocking?’
‘Uh, yeah. Updates to follow.’
‘At the edge of my seat.’
Y/N can feel Rue shaking her head.
Knock, knock.
“There’s a bathroom downstairs.” A voice replies from inside.
“Elliot?”
“Y/N?” The door creaks open.
Not just Elliot, but Jules. “You guys having a quickie? Elliot you know your mom’s here, right?”
“I didn’t think she’d actually show.” He admits, she never has before. “You left Rue alone with her?”
“Rue’s been warned, Fez and Lexi are down there. They’ll man the fort. She was more interested in Cameron though. Good luck explaining that.”
“Shit.”
Jules lets out a watery laugh and Y/N gets a good look at her as she steps onto the tile floor. Elliot moving to lock the door behind Y/N.
The blonde’s eyes are red and puffy, she’s been crying. Seated on the lid of toilet seat.
“Jules what happened?” Y/N closes the distance between them, crouching downs between Jules’ knees so they’re at eye level.
“My mom.”
“What did she do?”
“Nothing.” Jules looks away, swiping the back of her hand over her cupid’s bow. “She was actually really nice.”
“Why are you crying?” Y/N pushes a strand of blonde hair behind her ear.
“Because…like,” Jules takes a deep breath, “what if I mess up?”
“With the baby?”
“Yeah? What if I mess them up? I can’t do this. Elliot can do this, I’m not ready. And he waited for so long for me to like catch up.” She looks to her husband in defeat. Clearly it’s not his first time hearing this. “But I can’t because I’m so fucked up because of what she-”
“I know what she did, Jules.” Y/N whispers. “But you are not gonna do that.”
“How do you know?”
Y/N takes Jules hand softly, placing it on her belly between them. “I know you. I know how much you want this and I know you’re scared. I know why you’re scared. Motherhood is scary, you love your baby so much. You’ll worry about them and you’ll mess up sometimes, everyone does. But you’ll keep learning and trying and you will be an amazing mom.”
“I want to be.”
“We’re in this together.” Y/N reminds her. “Me and Rue will help, whatever you need. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or tired or whatever, we’ve got you. Elliot’s got you.”
“I don’t want to be a burden. I know you’ve got your own stuff going on with the Rue and the kids and like…healing after the baby.”
“This relationship is not a burden to me.” Y/N says, patiently. “You are not a burden, Jules. I love you so much. I love being with you. I love spending time with you. You make me so happy.”
“No,” Jules argues, “I love you. You make me happy.”
“Are you really gonna argue about a mutual feeling?” Elliot chimes in.
“Yeah.” Y/N cocks her head to the side. “I felt it first.”
“I felt it stronger though.”
“Unfuckingbelievable.” Elliot chuckles.
Y/N used to feel bad for him, being surrounded by all of them, all of the time. She doesn’t anymore, he clearly enjoys it.
“Be with me after.” Jules says, kissing Y/N’s hands and then her belly.
It’s still under review, what would happen when the baby came. If they were all staying together, it would have to be at Y/N and Rue’s house.
Jules and Elliot would bring over the bassinet and set up shop. They would bond with their baby and Y/N and Rue would keep their schedules. Sawyer and Cameron would have a blast with everyone under one roof. Y/N would have support if and when she needed it. They would all have extra support and the pitch did come with a lot of perks.
“Are you sure?” Y/N asks anyway.
“Be with me, please?” Jules whispers.
Y/N takes a deep breath, “ok.” She still has to pee though.
Elliot and Jules excuse themselves, waiting for her to finish. The plan was to go back to the party together. But-
“Guys?” Y/N calls, from inside the bathroom.
“Yeah?”
“Get Rue.”
“What’s wrong?” Jules wonders, rattling the doorknob.

•jules vaughn haters. i. hate. jules. haters. (shes my fav)
Perfect!! Can I please request a male ship from The Pacific? <3 Thank you so much my love!! I couldn’t find your ship guidelines since you recently changed your blog url so I followed an outline from a previous blog who you sent a ship for! If I am missing any more info for the guidelines let me know and I will re-submit!
– your gender/pronouns: female she/her
– your sexuality/gender preference: i’m bi but i have never openly dated a woman before! for gender preference: male, since we know so much about the male characters in the pacific anyway!
– your main flaws and most defining traits: my whole life i’ve dealt with emotional dysregulation, depression/social anxiety, identity disturbance, school and keeping up with my loved ones. I also procrastinate too much, I don't have my drivers license LOL. I have ADHD and there’s a possibility that I could also have borderline personality disorder cos of childhood trauma and the things listed above. People know me for being kind, funny, sarcastic, creative in the visual arts and hardworking cos of my part-time job and i’m nearly graduating college in april [crosses fingers] and i want to be a commercial model with a bit of runway as well as getting into figure skating and ballet.– your hobbies and pastimes: grunge aesthetics, photography, I love fashion from the 40s’-now, but wearing fashion that is trending rn i prefer the 90s and a bit of y2k but that’s lowkey fading from my closet. I love to draw/paint, watch tv/film and youtube, play minecraft, daydream, write stories and read books and fanfic, listen to many genres of music mostly metalcore/punk or indie rock, 90s/00’s and today’s r&b, lofi etc. i can also speak a bit of french, tagalog/cebuano and brazilian portuguese. I would love to learn ASL one day.
– your appearance: between 5’6’’-5’7’’! I am Filipina so I have tanned fair skin. I have natural jet black-hair but my hair was bleached red at the end of the summer - it’s fading so it looks more copper. I have what they call an 'inverted triangle shape' so my body is kind of weird: skinny chicken legs with a bulky man-like torso?? I wear glasses but i wear contacts because i often wear a lot of 90s glam makeup or Euphoria-inspired makeup (graphic liner, glitter, rhinestones/Maddy perez or Jules Vaughn makeup sometimes)
– your personality type one quiz i took told me i was ENTP due to my creativity and another told me i’m INFP-T cos of my concern for my personal growth and cos i am stressed af (lol love quizzes calling me out)
– any pet peeves: pretentious people, mouth noises/chewing or kisses noises (misophonia triggers), people who say the word “pree-sent” and not “present” (like ‘present a class project’), too many tabs on a desktop, when people talk to me too much and i can’t keep up with them, ppl interrupting me
– your love language: gifts, words of affirmation and physical touch!
– your zodiac sign (or big three): Leo Sun, Taurus Moon and Cancer Rising!
– your Hogwarts house: Ravenclaw!
– your insecurities: socially, mentally and emotionally being behind on everything. Physically, I have body image issues cos of my body shape. I also hate my face shape and my nose?? A lot of people hate their noises. Also I hate being insecure about my height. I wish to be the ideal height for runway.
hey mk!! wow congrats on almost being done with college :)) that's super exciting!
I ship you with:
Bob Leckie from The Pacific!
ship theme song: I Could Make You Care - Frank Sinatra and the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra
wow
this man is completely smitten
like, i'm talking Love At First Sight
he sees you a couple days after he arrives back home from overseas
and since this is Leckie
you bet your ass that he's gonna go straight up to you and ask for your number
he's very excited for you to graduate college!!
he'll look over any english paper that you want him to
he'll even let you borrow his typewriter
the first time you speak French or Portuguese in front of him
his mind is totally blown
he thinks it's the most beautiful thing he's ever heard
Leckie is a very wordy, encyclopedia bitch kinda person
so he can definitely provide you with words of affirmation
Leckie comes with his own brand of emotional baggage
between his cold, distant relationship with his own parents
and seeing nearly all of his friends get injured in the war
he needs some time to find himself again
and he wants to do that with you by his side <3
as long as you provide him with consistency and a safe listening ear
he's yours for life
in return, he tries to get you to put into writing the things that you might find difficult to tell your loved ones and friends
he has plenty of books to choose from if you're in need of some bibliotherapy
he thinks you're incredibly beautiful
and different from the other girls he grew up with
and he loves that
he takes time every day to remind of how pretty you are
he'll just watch you in the mornings
he loves to observe you picking out just the right outfit to wear
and he's so intrigued by how effortlessly you apply your makeup
I think Leckie is either an ENFP or INFP
but either way, a pairing with an INFP or ENTP is very complimentary
Leckie definitely understands your need for focus and concentration
he's the same way when it comes to assignments and getting work done
he's not a big fan of people interrupting him
so he'll always call or text to make sure that you're not busy before coming over
I would bet that this lad is a pretty good gift giver too
he's naturally observant
so Leck probably gets you a new pair of ice skates
or a new record by one of your favorite bands for your birthday
if you get him anything having to do with writing
this boy will melt like chocolate
he offers to teach you how to drive
Leckie definitely gives me Ravenclaw vibes
but honestly: this man thinks the Sun rises and sets at your feet
and he makes it his missions to help you recognize just how beautiful and perfect you are
Dreamland Excerpts: How To Not Be A Part of the Land of the Dead
Dreamland Excerpts 20230813th
How To Not Be A Part of the Land of the Dead
Characters:
Terrance Prescott (the Tri Stone Era)
Drama (the Crimson Collective)
Rue Bennett (Euphoria)
Maddy Perez (Euphoria)
Jules Vaughn (Euphoria)
Lexi Howard (Euphoria)
Cassie Howard (Euphoria)
Kat Hernandez (Euphoria)
Fezco (Euphoria)
Be with me. This dream took place as if I & Drama were transfer students to East Highland High School. As if the show continued from that awful season finale. Because of who I am, I saved Fezco so he could live another day. By the means of preventing the police raid. As I turn back time, I discover a way to infiltrate the school before a giant field trip. One that would take them to; the Land of the Dead.
Better known as Wraith City; where the senior students get to spend a week in this luxuriously haunted city. Itinerary involves learning squat before they graduate. I & Drama have been students for the final semester of their year. Honor students who happen to come in as the #3 & #13 ranked students of their class. Sure we bumped some heads when we got there but there was nothing we could say to our parents about moving to East Highland, California. We are step brother & step sister in this dream; as fake as it may seem, it will get faker.
January
After coming to school for the first day, in a Bugatti; Drama was driving. We get out in NYE clothing while smelling like a trillion bucks. Star studded for the sake of it, we make one grand entrance that offends; of course & you know it. Cassie. Surprised the heaven out of Rue, Lexi, Jules, Kat & Maddy though. During that first day, Drama learned all about their ghosts when she some how made friends with them & had them all in the bathroom. Took out a little stash & took a sniff before her next period so she could focus. Just a very small ounce to ignite her brain. That’s when the girls learned about the house mother being a drug lord. The rest of January was a blur for them as Drama; always being beyond crazy & altruistic at the same time, improved all of their lives. While my borderline antisocial ass was too busy writing & drawing in notebooks.
The way that Drama won them over was quite simple, dramatic. When they were in the bathroom together; she went a little something like this… “I’ll say this, honestly. Me. Likes to make friends with the first group of girls that approach me. I’m a first come, first serve type. Bravery is rewarded where I’m from. But honesty is more important. We are step siblings, his mother helps run a cartel. Drug. We, I mean they. They do very good, girl; don’t get me started… Good people though. There’s a supply & they do it safely. Besides, I gets so much dough; if yall believe me & let us take yall out shopping on my dime… Regret wouldn’t exist.” It wasn’t until I was hanging with Drama & her new friends that I would meet Fez. That’s where the trouble would begin…
February
Yesh, love was so much in the air; cause everyone’s lives improved once Drama & I solidified our spots in the student body. Mostly due to the five parties we threw in January; somehow doubled in February. Some how got Fez upgraded in life for him & the family. Moved them out, moved others out; to move them up. Nothing covered up the pain though, they were still combative, I’m go do whatever I want; when I want kind of teenagers.
Rue always had a fix whenever she wanted & we kept her safe.
Jules always had us looking out for her whenever she had to hoe around.
Maddy was learning how to be a confidant of the cartel so she can escape the whirlpool that’s her family.
Kat ended up living by herself by the end of January & she was awarded a bodyguard.
Lexi, Cassie & their mother had no money worries.
It was all good in East Highland from then on.
March
Was when we taught them how to cover their trails; to a very high extent. Via, March of Dimes. It was the first time they saw me be, not so antisocial. Athletic even but the lesson was; if you keep yourself booked & blessed, publicly… No one can find you out. But it was after the March of Dimes when things went all the way omega. Nate returned from whatever hiatus he was on & that wrecked Cassie & Jules to a rather obsolete form. I put in a hit & had him body bagged before the end of the nite. Totally got a way with it & I had to sleep with that secret. Like the many that had us moving states since the 6th grade. Unlike the other times, an over dose was deemed the end result.
April
The funeral was a bust, Drama & I was forced to go cause Cassie kept her ship wreck mood sailing into the following weeks. I remedied it during the wake though, she was standing by herself in his bedroom. I told her to take something from his room so minute; but so permanent, that she’d always have him with her. Then told her to move on with the rest of her life, as if he’s with her in spirit. Finished that up with telling her to say his full name. She took her favorite shirt of his, hid it & walked out with me; hand in hand. Didn’t think it was going to be that quick but I was happy on the inside.
With the rest of their lives looking to be greater than the time of their lives, they moved through April so scholastically; it was like none of their trauma ever really happened.
Rue learned compartmentalization from Drama.
Jules was always on the right path.
So was Lexi, Kat & Cassie; some how. Dead ass thought Cassie was shit for brains but she kept proving me wrong.
Then there’s Maddy; I told her one day, “Pay attention, knowing the world you live in will help you escape.” Something I should’ve told her in January but time is of the essence.
May
The senior trips were on the horizon; but it was the last week field trip everyone was looking forward to. I won’t bore you with more details but it sure did turn into a horror flick on the first nite. As soon as our parents made sure the faculty & other chaperones were taken care of. Majority of our crowd was able to make it to an underground event. Party of the Dead, on a Sunday nite with a bartender that didn’t care about anyone’s age cause he wasn’t really a bartender. It was ghetto, it was fun, it was crazy, it was a nightmare, it was a dream; it was muthafuckin fantastic.
Until the next morning when Drama woke up talking about, “I THINK WE’VE BEEN CURSED!!!!!!” I was like, “Girl, shut the fuck up!” Then we proceeded to talk as if she had a bad dream when in all reality; this was the first time anyone of them was around us during slumber. She always wakes up screaming…
*a real upward eye roll*
Moving along, once we got along; I asked her if we have truly been cursed? She certified that we were then she saw the first glimpse of the curse as a black figure started floating upward; outside of our hotel window. Nah nigga. I immediately grabbed Lexi because she’s the most level headed out of the group; after opening the curtains, she screamed. Nah nigga. Then Lexi discovered that we had super powers as Drama immediately said good bye then disappeared to return to the point of the venue. It was cleaned out but the residue of the curse was all over the bartending area. One bottle was left & it clearly had a stronger residue source than the entire venue.
Meanwhile, I’m chilling in the hotel room while Lexi isn’t. Damn near distraught to no repair; I had to some how talk her out of it. With her eyes still shut from seeing so much atrocity first thing in the morning; I decided to don my lavender hair & red eyes. I asked her to look at me then look at the ghost again & tell me if she recognizes him. She didn’t, thank goodness; but the screams kept happening through out the week. All of us that attended that party & even the strangers that attended was reporting all kind of crazy atrocities around & outside of the city.
And yes it was ultimately hilarious when I walked out of that room with Lexi looking like a total super being to those who aren’t. I was an entire XD situation… Fez asked, “What the fuck happened to you last nite?!!!” I told them, I don’t want to get into it but it was wilder than my last Yom Kippur. Yesh, a million question marks began floating around their heads but thank goodness those curtains weren’t open. As I was distributing glasses of water; I told them that we’ve been cursed. During that whole time, I was wondering; where the fuck is Drama!?
Drama was locked in the venue magically, when she rediscovered the curse; it kept her from leaving to break it. It took a while to figure that out from my end but everyone kept wondering where she was while I was talking. Yup, we were attached at the hip the entire time they knew us. I couldn’t call her cause her phone was in the hotel room so I assumed she was doing some snooping. I eventually had to show the gang & the rest of the crowd that came with us the ghosts we would have to get used to seeing. For some odd reason, they couldn’t come into the hotel we were staying in. But that beckoned some of them from being too afraid to leave the hotel. Yet, we had to; to do a few assignments during the week.
Oh crud is right, cause these teens were panicking at the disco that used to be. Panicked all the way through Monday because Drama disappeared. When I finally made it back to the venue, she told me to not come in. I told her to take my hand & was able to pull her out. Then the entire city started rumbling… What the fuck have we done?!!?!? The drama, pun intended afterwards turned Wraith City into a whole epilogue. Because of my god features, I equipped everyone with super powers best for handling the afterlife… Titanus (You know, the one that turns you into a flying capable, god like super being with ultra skin, ultra strength, ultra speed, fortified energy manipulation, compulsion features, dimension hopping features but their best feature is enchanting others with power; per their bond & all), I told them that when they think about protecting themselves; they will have all the magical might to do so. Limiting them to an extent cause I didn’t have time to train them, they would just have the means of becoming invulnerable with the ability to harm ghosts that would approach. The entire time I was explaining this to them, Drama was standing way away from us just shaking her head. Unbelieving everything that’s going on but unbelieving that I’d have the audacity to play the scenario out instead of ending it with just her.
Afterwards, I went to her to tell her; “We are on vacation, so live a little with your dead in the inside ass.” We laughed & she said she could use a little more excitement in her life. XD. I told her, “Girl stop!” This dream literally went off the axle afterwards as it looked like people started summoning demons through out the week. They actually were, I’ll never kid about dreamland. But there the cast of Euphoria were, every second handling drugs & ghosts. But when Nate’s ghost showed up; Drama pulled so much magical might, she forced him to move on. I told her thank you for that. That Wednesday would’ve really turned into a Wednesday if Cassie would’ve caught a glimpse of his ghost.
Drama was hoping that the curse would’ve dissipated by now but on Wednesday night, it grew more powerful. Doom swept a portion of the city & all of the faculty wanted to end the trip. There wasn’t an evacuation order, until Thursday night. The entire day of Thursday was mad dark. Cloudy skies all around as we went to a food festival on the opposite side of the city from the doom. One of the best things about this dream was seeing dark towering ghosts starting to divide streets as skeletons came up through the rubble. Dismantled; you know, to paint the picture. It was horrific later that day after experiencing some bomb ass lasagna, calzones, tacos & Japanese food. Helped us get through all of that alarming imagery I didn’t wake up from.
There were times I would get the feeling that the King of Spades from Alice In Borderland was out there. Just ghosts, gaining the ability to harm people. All because a god was one of the people getting cursed. I don’t know how I keep ending up in situations like this, but the curse was honing in on me & Drama the most. And with her being an afterlife wielder; it was extra zesty out there with ridiculousness. No one was in true harm, but they were painting reality to look like limbo. When in disreality; it’s that dismal. Just a bunch of darkened figures roaming around. Trying to figure out what they need to realize before they can move on. Then decide to stay a ghost or whatever. A lot of them remained to stay a ghost until they get tired of living in the ghost realms. Can still eat, can still feel pleasure; but can’t interact with anyone in real time. They can even travel but if they died with regrets; they have to keep them to themselves or until their victim becomes a ghost.
Oh yeah, they can alter reality if they were a super being but in this world; of Euphoria. Nah, none of those; so it was just dismal fun for the taking to them. As the curse panned out, Drama & I made it so it could become detrimental at any time. The entertaining aspect turned far from pleasure the deeper the curse got. Before anyone could call an evacuation order, we were all starting it Thursday evening. With the help of Euphoria, we were able to have more fun with it. But it was all a dream that turned on my hero complexes again. Turned on Drama’s shero complexes again.
When the sun was beginning to rise the next day, I knew the dream would be over soon. It was Drama & I; sitting on a bench at the top of a hill. Just looking over Wraith City; but to clarify, I did get to see the entirety of a night of protecting innocents. All those hours… Then the city was safe, it began to look normal again. Then Drama looked at me to smile & say, “Aight, enough of this place. I’ll see you at home.”
