An important PSA
As someone who shipped Ineffable Husbands since season 1 and just recently got into Ineffable Bureaucracy can I say stop comparing the two. At first when I saw the comparison posts they were mostly fun jokes and I thought it was funny but, I didn’t take it seriously. Then I saw other posts.
First off these are different people who are in different paths. Aziraphale was always more loyal to heaven. He wants to do good but, he is blinded to the fact that heaven has many flaws. It doesn’t help that he’s mostly on Earth. Meanwhile Gabriel has been living in heaven most of his life so, he’s seen the terrible stuff up close. He went along with it until one day love made him realize that he had enough. All this impacts why Aziraphale was slow to accept Crowley and why Gabriel wasn’t as slow to return Beelzebub’s feelings. Although when Aziraphale sees how much love has changed Gabriel he thinks he can make changes in heaven not realizing that some terrible people could change but, that’s not always the case.
I also noticed people trying to defend Ineffable Husbands is by saying unlike them it was easy for Ineffable Bureaucracy to leave because they only care about themselves while Crowley and Aziraphale care about the earth. Though it is kinda true that isn’t the issue. And it dismisses the fact that Gabriel was going to have his past memories taken away from him because he disagreed with Armageddon 2.0. If he didn’t think fast he would have gotten his life and Beelzebub stolen from him. And if they stayed they would have been punished. Instead of having that mindset think that Aziraphale and Gabriel have religious trauma. It has a good parallel with Nina and her toxic ex girlfriend. As much as I love Ineffable Husbands I also care for them as individuals. And I wish that in season 3 Aziraphale can learn he can be good and helpful without going to the extreme side of being good. That he can be flawed.
And remember the bad guy in this story is metatron. How he runs heaven impacts not only other angels but, why Aziraphale hasn’t accepted Crowley. Nina not accepting Maggie because she just got out of a relationship with her toxic ex.

#vcsmuttysunday psa
I have stuff going on in the next few weeks so I'll probably be slacking on posting and promoting #vcsmuttysunday because it's not my primary fandom focus, but I just want to remind everyone that you don't actually need me for this! Follow your urges (🥵) and post whatever #vcsmuttysunday content your heart desires and I'll catch up in the tag eventually. ♥️
I don't want to leave y'all completely thirsty this Sunday though so here's some VC/VC-adjacent stuff to think about:
@apoptoses is hosting #VCKinkWeek in a couple weeks and I would love to see you guys show up for that! Look over the prompts and start daydreaming about what you might like to try your hand at (fic, art, meta, etc)! I'm around to chat if you have an idea but you just want to sound it out with someone first ♥️
Homework assignment: I need more people to watch the movie Secretary with James Spader and Maggie Gyllenhaal and get back to me so we can talk nonsexual kink (and apply it to VC vampires the way we do literally everything else) ♥️
If you're desperate (🥵) feel free to jump down my archive of original and rbed #vcsmuttysunday and #smuttysunday (before I added the vc) posts! There's some fun and kinky stuff in there ♥️

PSA: REGARDING VLV RELEASE
Tumblr media
Hey everyone! Diamond Punk here! I wanted to give a PSA within the P!ATD fandom within Tumblr. It won’t too much of your time, I assure you.
Tumblr media
Given the release of VLV, I wanted to remind everyone to please be respectful of those that enjoy the album and songs. I know that there’s been toxicity with the bandom since the accusations and the rise of people believing that Brendon made songs on said album to bash previous band mates (if you truly believe that; unfollow me. You’re not worth my time as you’re too busy giving hate towards Brendon for any reason you can grab your hands on) and use any reason to hate on him and his music.
Tumblr media
In my personal opinion, I don’t believe it to ge true because if you do your research, you’d see that Brendon’s actually making a story within his songs (that also connects to his MVs) which refers to Maggie and whatever group she’s made. (I’ll speak more about that in another post)
Tumblr media
Aside from that, it’s okay if you don’t like the new album or any of the songs. Your thoughts are valid but they don’t give you an excuse to be mean towards Brendon and those who DO like his songs. All that I am asking is for you guys to not be mean within the hashtags about the album or Brendon. Disagreement or constructive criticism is okay but if you’re hating on a song to hate Brendon, please keep the negativity to a minimum.
Tumblr media
I know that there’s still a lot of people that hate Brendon for the fake accusations and honestly, if you don’t want to support him, that’s fine. Just don’t go spreading false info and overall negativity with the tags. (Ex: Claims of him, bashing on his bandmates, copycat accusations, and hating on him via songs from previous bandmates as evidence) There’s still people that still love and support him. We just want to have fun in the new era. Please respect that.
Tumblr media
That being said, Keep the hashtags safe from as much toxicity as possible and to those that enjoy the new album and MV, WELCOME AND HAVE FUN GUYS!!!!

I feel like I need to put out a psa, that Maggie just live's to be a shit stirrer at times. She actually loves and at times idolizes Katherine, she knows she doesn't stand a chance against her.

“family isn’t always blood. it’s the people in your life who want you in theirs. the ones who accept you for who you are, and the ones who would do anything to see you smile. the ones who love you no matter what.”
took a break from writing to do a little found family doodle. the inspiration behind this is based entirely on @madasthesea’s series “what you were then i am today”. this isn’t finished yet but i like where it’s heading :)

Song Sorters Masterlist
these aren't able to be viewed on the tumblr app even though they’re linked to my profile so i made this list so there's an easier way to find them when using the app!!! (and just a psa about the song sorters: if you pick ‘i like both’ or ‘no opinion’ the algorithm will make it so there are ties in your ranking and the numbering will “look weird”…as in if you have three songs tied for 1st place the numbering will then go to 4th instead of ranking a 2nd and 3rd spot and so forth. i see ppl sharing the song sorters on twitter and being confused by the numbering in their results lol so that is why!)

Books of the year.
So it's almost New Years! and looking back at 2021 it turns out I read something like 40 queer YA books in the year (not counting re-reads) and a lot of them were shit some of them were okay and a few were truly great so lets run down the greats that you should totally read in 2022.
1. All Kinds of Other
Tumblr media
by James Sie
I literally can not recommend this book enough, if I thought it would work I'd attack strangers on the street to force them to read it, when my 14 year old cousin came out as trans this is the book I got him, I love this book. So 2021 saw a flowering of trans mlm books, which is great, only most of them were horrible. All Kinds of Other brings us a trans teenager who is funny, snarky, faces dysphoria and transphobia in totally human and relatable ways. It deals with issues without ever becoming a PSA slog. Again this is most likely my book of the year and if even one person reads it because of this I'll cry tears of joy. oh also the author James Sie is the voice of the cabbage guy in Avatar The Last Air Bender if that matters to you.
2. The Darkness Outside Us
Tumblr media
by Eliot Schrefer
I don't even know how to talk about this one without spoiling I guess I'd say the first half is "what if Romeo and Juliet, but gay, set in the sci fi future in space and co-staring the HAL 9000?" and then we get into an amazingly deep, at times painful examination of what it means to be alive, to be human, what is destiny and what is love. There are scenes of unflinching intensity and gut punches that leave you feeling for the characters all the way through. I'm currently enjoying a reread right now with a friend.
3. A Complicated Love Story Set in Space
Tumblr media
by Shaun David Hutchinson
When he's firing on all cylinders there's almost no one better than SDH and A Complicated Love Story Set in Space is one of his best. Yes it's another love story set on a space ship where not everything is as it seems sue me I have a type. In here you'll get an intense meta criticism of reality TV and a gut punch to any one who writes fiction and ever sat up late at night feeling guilty about the things you do to characters and the things we maybe should think more deeply about before using as tropes in fiction.
4. The City Beautiful
Tumblr media
by Aden Polydoros
If you're into historical fiction or intensely Jewish stories/characters this is for you 100%. Lots of loving detail has gone into depicting 1893 Chicago particularly it's Jewish world. It's full of Jewish food, Yiddish, 1890s political radicalism, Judaism, and Jewish folklore. It's a bit of slow burn on the romance but the imagery is lovely and if you're a nice Jewish boy you'll feel Alter Rosen on a deep level.
Honorable mentions:
Flash Fire by TJ Klune and Mister Impossible by Maggie Stiefvater
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Since both books are part of a series, Flash Fire being book two of a trilogy and Mister Impossible being book two of a trilogy that carries on with characters from another series of books I can't rate them as stand alone works. But if you're looking for series there are few better than the Raven Cycle and the Dream Trilogy is great so far, I loved Mister Impossible's mediations on art, particularly all the John Singer Sargent, he's always been a favorite and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum which appears in the book a lot is one of my favorite places. TJ Klune's Extraordinaries series is laugh out loud funny, a little sassy and a little rude. If you've ever liked Superheroes its totally for you, if you've ever been an ADHD mess or an awkward but lovable boy also worth your time

I am a desi but I feel though don't belong here on the Desi Tumblr , as though I don't fit in the crowd , as though it wasn't meant for me
And that hurts
A lot
I feel as though there is this in crowd and I'm just out of it , abandoned by the others and forgotten
And that hurts
A lot
I feel as though many of you only follow me back out of pity or just because I'm a desi when actually I am interested in your all blog and amazing content
And that hurts
A lot
I feel like a lonely girl
Lost in these loud crowds
Ok alright a lot of people (including me sometimes) have been feeling like this so psa
If you are desi and have a tumblr, that is enough
Oh and desi = all the countries, not just India
You don't need to have an opinion on everything or be part of the discourse or get all the references
Anon desi tumblr is meant for you. It's meant for all desis. All of us. Every. Single. One.
I know a lot of people feel like there's some inner desi circle which they're not in, hell even I feel like that, but it's untrue
We're all one family (yes cheesy I'm aware but its true)
And trust me when I say, no one follows you because you're desi, or out of pity. Its because they like your blog
I know what you feel like anon, but please don't ever think you're not desi enough or that you aren't desi tumblr enough
I'm so sorry if I, or anyone else made you feel like you're not one of us. Because you are. Everyone is. All the desis
Here's a letter for the desi community
Dear desis,
I love our community, I really do. I love how we have stupid jokes like cow eating rangolis and maggi masala snorting. I love every second of it.
But sometimes I don't love it. I don't love it when (knowingly or not) less popular blogs are alienated, are made to believe that they're not "desi tumblr"
I don't love it when certain popular blogs make non popular ones and newer ones feel like there's some inside circle
Some inside circle that they won't be a part of, because they're not desi enough
If you're a popular blog reading this: I'm not blaming you, I know it's not intentional. But please try to make others feel like they're part of the community
If you're a lesser knows blog: please know that you are seen and loved. You may not be from India, may not have a ton of followers, may not understand the references, but that doesn't make you any less desi.
There shouldn't be any outsiders in our community, no one should feel alienated or that they're not part of the family, because they are!
Love,
Pista

Thoughts on Grey’s Anatomy: 17X5
SPOILERS AHEAD!
I’m going to go right ahead and say it. This episode felt like a PSA to me, but it was well done. It was emotional and impactful and the storyline about Bailey’s Mom made me tear up, but at the same time the episode felt very stagnant and I feel like the lives of the other characters didn’t really move forward or go anywhere. It felt like they were all standing still. I liked the conversations between Jackson and Richard and Bailey and Maggie about how COVID has impacted black and brown people more than other races and how unfair that is and how politicians and decision makers need to pay more attention to that.
I loved the conversation between Bailey and Maggie. I liked that they addressed what happened with Maggie’s Mom because that storyline bothered the heck out of me. Maggie treated Meredith and everyone else horribly when all they did was try and help and then she forced her mother to undergo treatments she didn’t want because Maggie couldn’t handle the fact that she was dying and then they just dropped it. I’m glad to see that make a comeback and that Maggie has recognized that what she did and the way she behaved was wrong and is now using that experience to help others.
I loved their comments about guidance counsellors and others assume black people aren’t as bright or as capable as white folks and how insidious that is. It’s not something I’ve experienced myself as a white person, but I’m glad they’re highlighting it. This episode was written by Zoanne Clack who is a black woman and a former E.R. Physician. The previous episode was written by Julie Wong who is an Asian woman and I think it’s great they are utilizing the talent that they have so that people of colour can share their stories and their experiences on a global scale. 
By telling these stories through the lives of characters we know and love and can empathize with it allows people who will never have these experiences understand a little bit more. Representation is important and this show has always done a really good job in my opinion of highlighting important topics and social issues in a sensitive and thoughtful manner. These characters are fictional, but their stories are taken from the lives of real people and I think an important step in the process of creating a better fairer world is creating media that reflects people’s realities in order to cultivate empathy so that people who might not otherwise understand or get it have a window into that experience.
Maybe it changes their mind. Maybe it doesn’t. But the point is that it opens people’s minds to the possibility of seeing a side that they didn’t before and that is half the battle when trying to get people to understand someone else’s experience or point of view. I’m going to be seeing my family this holiday season virtually and in small groups from a safe distance. As is the case for many visiting with relatives over the holidays means having to listen to a lot of ignorant opinions, frustrating statements, and in some cases racial slurs and inappropriate remarks. 
So I’ve been thinking a lot about how I’m going to handle that this year because my tolerance for that crap has gone out the window. All this to say it’s nice to see good people fighting the good fight to get these stories out there to a global audience so that maybe some people will get it and maybe some good will come of it. And even if it doesn’t seeing characters and stories that represent you on screen is powerful and moving and wonderful and we all deserve that. I teared up watching Bailey suffer with the deterioration and death of her Mom.
The end scene where Bailey describes the patients she’s lost to COVID in the voice over while her and Richard sing ‘My Girl’ to give her Mom that moment of peace and a death with dignity got me. It really put a face on the disease. Watching her and her Dad struggle with it was so hard. I loved Bailey’s voice over where she shared info about the COVID patients she’d lost so far and who they were not just their disease. That was well done. Made me tear up.
I loved the talk between Meredith and Bailey at the hospital and on the beach. This episode wasn’t as shocking as the previous ones, but it was still good. I’m glad Meredith is getting better. I will miss the beach, but I’m excited to see her wake up, get better, and hopefully spend some time with Hayes. Which brings me to my chief complaint with this episode which is where the heck was Hayes?!?! This is the second episode he’s been absent from for no discernable reason and no explanation has been given as to where he is.
I did not sign up for this. A big part of the joy I felt when they announced that he was being upped to a main character was the implication that he was going to be given his own storylines and character development outside of Meredith and his relationships with Abigail, Liam, and Austin. But Hayes being absent when Meredith’s not awake robs of him that. Don’t get me wrong. I love Meredith and Hayes together and all I want is for them to be together and live happily ever after.
But, Hayes has such a rich and interesting backstory and there’s so much to explore there. Richard Flood who plays him brings such a wonderful depth to the character and he deserves to have his own story apart from Meredith and I really want to see him interact with the other characters more. We’ve seen him interact significantly with Jo and Bailey, but I’d love to see him interact with Maggie, Amelia, Jackson, and Owen more. His absence this episode reminds me of the episode after the Conference Episode last season where he was suddenly missing for no reason and they didn’t explain where he was.
I’m confused because he was upped to a main character just before this season started so he should be in every episode or almost every episode like the other characters are. I’m starting to get concerned that the actor who plays him has fallen ill or tested positive for COVID-19 or that he’s dealing with some kind of family emergency and so they had to cut him out of the episode last minute. I hope I’m wrong, but I honestly can’t think of another reason the actor would be missing for upwards of 2 to 4 weeks when these episodes were filmed.
I can’t see his absence being a story choice because it doesn’t make any sense and they haven’t addressed it on screen as they usually do when an actor has departed or needs time off and they have time to write that in. He also doesn't appear to be in the promo for next week’s episode which is strange considering it shows another meeting being held by Richard where some of the other department heads can be seen and we get shots of most of the other characters. After the Premiere aired he appeared in the promo for Episode 3 standing outside Meredith’s window and in that episode we saw them have a heart to heart that I thought was really beautiful and lovely.
At this point it’s unclear if Meredith even knows that Hayes is the one that found her and got her help and is distraught over her condition. He’s the head of Peds which is a pretty important department. Where the heck is he? They can gladly write off other characters in the second half of the season to give him more screen time in my opinion. I really hope the actor and his family are okay.  I’d also hate for his sudden absence to wreck Meredith’s storyline.
I love their friendship and flirtations and I’d hate to see her wind up alone or with someone that clearly isn’t right for her and that she doesn’t really love because something unexpected happened with the actor. I really really hope he’s in the mid-season finale next week! Jo suddenly declaring that she wants to quit general surgery to become an OBGYN came out of nowhere and makes no sense to me.
She spent years being with and then married to the Head of Pediatric Surgery and was decidedly lukewarm on the idea of having kids or even being near them. So her and Alex split and in the wake of that she randomly decides she wants to be an OBGYN and deliver babies? What the heck? I’m also confused because I feel like Hayes should have been there because it was a Peds case and he wasn’t and if Jo wants to re-specialize it would make sense for her to talk to Carina or Hayes.
Carina’s a main character on Station 19 and is still reoccurring on Grey’s so she can talk to her for an episode or two, but anymore than that and I think that would fall under Hayes perview because he’s a main character. But he’s currently MIA and we don’t know why. I did love Jo’s scenes with Levi though. They’re always hilarious and I think they bounce off of each other really well. I’m glad that Tom improved and apparently isn’t dying.
I like him with Teddy and I hope they get back together at some point. I’m glad they are choosing to be friends again. More than anything I want Teddy to pick a lane here. Owen or Tom. Pick one and go with it. Stop flip flopping all over the place like a fish out of water. Teddy’s a hot mess these days. I liked Amelia’s speech to Teddy. She has feelings about what Teddy did and didn’t do, but as she says she herself has done horrible things, some of them involving Owen, so she’s not in any place to judge, but she also doesn’t want to be friends with Teddy or really talk to her. And that’s fair. I have to say I love Amelia post-tumour. She’s great.
Also what happened to Casey Parker the resident from last season who was transgender and former military? I really liked him! Where did he go? I’d much rather see him that DeLuca or Nico on screen. Based on what I caught of next week’s promo it looks the COVID situation at Grey Sloan is about to get worse. We see Richard addressing staff in the cafeteria saying that they need to prepare for a surge of patients and that their patient load could double. We’re in May in the current Grey’s timeline so that fits.
It’s apparently also a cross over. I don’t want another cross over. I want to know where the hell Hayes is! And it looks like Amelia is back in the OR and the doctors are treating two teenagers who were kidnapped and held captive. Yikes! And we see Meredith smiling at someone on the beach before suddenly waking up. My guess is that it’s Derek and we are finally going to get to see them embrace and then Meredith is going to return to the land of the living. And hopefully interact with Hayes.
Until next time!

Some bw/nat thoughts and canon psa below the cut (mild spoilers for the movie, but nothing past the 15 min mark)
Upcoming Protégé movie - so this is less about the bw movie and just about a trailer I saw for Protégé but oh my god guys I’m getting a movie with Maggie and Fury! I don’t know if it’s my cup of tea, but Maggie as a badass spy-like character with interactions with Sam? IMAGINE THE GIFSETS I’LL BE ABLE TO GET FOR NAT!
Smells Like Teen Spirit cover/movie opening - do you all REMEMBER when I had the Think Up Anger cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit on Wanda’s auto play years ago? I was lowkey really proud that it made it into a canon Marvel film. Also I really enjoyed the creepy, thriller like feel of the intro and kind of wish they pulled that into the rest of the movie
Living in Ohio - one of the few things I’ll be incorporating into my canon is Nat being planted into a fake family. Obviously in MCU, that is in Ohio with Yelena for the purpose of giving Alexei a chance to steal info, but my main verses are all 616 based so I’ve altered that a little bit. Nat was planted into a fake family in Russia during WWII as an “adopted” daughter. Her function was purely for intelligence gathering (no one suspects a child) and counterintelligence (if no one is watching for a child, then they don’t think she’ll turn them into the authorities). Instead of Yelena playing the part of a sister, it is instead Marina and that is why the two were so close in the widow program.
Alexei - Alexei Shostakov aka Red Guardian is and always will be Nat’s husband not father figure in my canon. I have no issue writing with MCU Alexei’s in AU timelines as the character depicted in the film, but canon-wise Alexei is Nat’s husband both in 616 and my MCU. My default MCU mention of film Alexei will not make him the Red Guardian but instead just a Russian spy who played the part of the family patriarch in Ohio. Nat married the Red Guardian before the events of Budapest and her subsequent defection. Both men are named Alexei but certainly are not the same character.
Widow program - I’m probably not going to incorporate the elements of the widow program shown in the film (trying to keep this post mostly spoiler free so I won’t go into details). My widow program is closer to what is shown in Dottie’s background in Agent Carter (psychological conditioning) and definitely what is depicted in the comics. Natasha is one of 28 orphaned girls who are taken and both physically and psychologically conditioned to be assassins. She is trained and false memories of a life as a bolshoi ballerina are implanted. In essence, she is a sleeper agent who is “activated” for missions and then set aside to live a fake life as a civilian when she is not needed.
Budapest with Clint - the film’s depiction of what happened in Budapest is not my canon (again trying to stay spoiler free but if you know, you know). “I needed to get out” is not a valid excuse for Nat to do what she did and the way I write Nat, she’d never do that as her defection is the start of her atonement. I really can’t reconcile how Nat is actively attempting to “wipe out her ledger” at that point on and to still do what she did. I will write out a separate post on what happened in my canon’s Budapest.
Yelena in general - I gotta say, I absolutely loved the film’s version of Yelena. I think they did try to make her more along the lines of comic Marina, but I still loved her.
“You’re the killer little girls look up to” - okay this line made me very emotional and is definitely an awful thing to say to Nat because I bet you she thinks about this all the time. She doesn’t want to be a hero in the sense that she doesn’t want people to look up to her. She just wants to atone for the wrongs she’s done and move on with her life in the shadows.

Just a PSA, Went and Maggie tozier were the most incredible parents and I adore them. The movies seem to have the fandom thinking that I was neglected or that they weren’t good parents but like...incorrect, I’ve had a lot of shitty parents in my lifetimes and they were by far nothing like them. Today I got a memory of getting into a fight at school and being upset because...people are dicks but later my mom just held me for a while and understood a lot of things without me having to say them. I’ll say it again for the people at the back: Maggie and Went Tozier are literal angels and I’ll fight anyone who wants to try and tell me otherwise. I love them. - Richie Tozier

I THINK it’s a popular opinion but just in case; adam wasn’t in love with blue, they just liked each other and the fact that blue and gansey painted him as a jealous ass (us knowing it was more because of gansey that bc of blue) is wrong and shows us how little by little in the books gansey stops knowing who adam is as a person
strongly agree | agree | neutral | disagree | strongly disagree
yeah, i think adam and blue weren’t in love, they just had mutual crushes on each other! obviously their hearts settled on someone else in the end, but i thought they had a very cute dynamic at the start - they felt immediate kinship, and a great deal of physical attraction. in fact, i’m a little sad we didn’t get more of it - blue’s reaction to meeting adam, instantly knowing that he was special and was someone she could have a conversation with... i wanted more of that!! 
from what we see on-page, it seemed like they never really had one-on-one time (maybe they had dates off-page, like adam and ronan’s sleepovers?? who knows??), which doesn’t make sense to me because adam is very proactive and blue has given clear signals that she likes him (even that one scene we get in st. agnes is loaded with sexual tension between them, lol). where are the conversations, maggie? blue and adam were never destined to fall in love, they don’t work together like that, but i think they deserved to have at least a little bit more of a high-school-crush relationship rather than going on one (1) group date. i really wanted them to have more bonding time, even as friends, since really they have a lot in common and clearly like each other. oh well.
as for gansey and blue thinking adam was going to get jealous... i don’t know that i would say it’s “more bc of gansey than bc of blue”. perhaps i don’t remember the details - rereading that part of the books annoys me a little - but i would say they’re both guilty. they both go behind his back, they both assume he’s going to react worse than he eventually does, and they both decide to keep him in the dark rather than be honest about their feelings. sure, gansey should know better as he’s adam’s best friend; but blue also clearly indicates in trk that she thought adam wouldn’t have been able to handle the truth. the one thing i will concede is that adam does have a jealous streak - he himself admits freely to being jealous of his friends - but that’s still not a justification. if blue and gansey thought he’d be ~too fragile~ to handle it, then they should not have acted the way they did; otherwise, they should have told him. that’s kind of what friendship is about.
(psa: please note i’m not doing unpopular opinions anymore atm, i just got around to answering this one late)

Confused Feelings- Part 2
Carl Grimes x Reader
PART 2
Summary: You talk to Sasha about your problems with Carl, in the search for some clarity. Is Carl just a friend? Or could he be more? Things can probably never really be that simple.
Word Count: 3,810
Warnings: None :)
A/N: So here’s part 2! I’m really enjoying writing this and I hope you like reading it too! By the way, there will be a happy ending I promise! 
PSA: I will never write anything that has a sad ending because honestly nobody needs that and there’s too much heartbreak watching the show! I always feel like, especially with characters that are no longer living in the show, fanfic should be an opportunity to feel close to them again. ‘What could have been’. We definitely can’t lose Carl again. Anyways enjoy!
I made sure to eat my food quickly, so that I could keep and eye on Sasha as I waited for her to finish hers. It felt like she was taking forever, but that’s probably because I want to talk to her so desperately. Finally she stood up with her empty bowl and walked off to clear her bowl away. I was just about ready to go over and pull her aside when Maggie approached her and they swiftly started talking while Maggie cleared her bowl. I quietly sighed to myself. It seems near impossible to get her alone. I’ll wait patiently, there’s no real rush. 
With a smile, Sasha left Maggie and looked like she was headed over to Rick, who stood holding Judith. Sasha probably waned to go hold her, she loves that kid. Now is my chance though so as she headed over I broke into a quick walk and managed to grab her attention before she made it over there. “Hey Sasha!” I kind of yelled at her accidentally. 
I make a mental note to calm down. She turns around looking startled. “Y/N! What’s up? You scared me”. Whoops. 
“Sorry”, I apologise and giggle slightly, Sasha smiled. “I was wondering if we could have a chat?”, she looked concerned, frowning and waited for me to expand I guess. 
“Umm” I thought of how to put it. Everyone else was nearby and I didn’t really want anyone to overhear. Especially Carl who was fairly nearby stood with his dad and Judith. “There’s just something that’s been kinda bothering me and I thought you may be able to help.” I was whispering now. “If you’re not busy that is!” I added. 
“Of course, Y/N. You can talk to me about anything! I was just going to go ask Rick if I could hold Judith for a while”, I knew it, “But that can wait til later. Let’s go take a seat over in the corner”, Sasha spoke softly with a smile as she lead me off a bit where it was quiet. 
As we sat down on the floor next to each other, with our backs up against the hard wooden wall I took a shaky breath. Clearly this was stressing me out more than I thought. 
“Thanks for this.” I smiled, looking at her. Her eyes almost lit up. 
“I’m just glad you feel you can talk to me Y/N! Now what’s up?”. 
Right where do I begin? I hadn’t really thought about what I was going to say yet. “Ok, so I guess I’ll get right to it…” She watched intently while I gathered my thoughts. “Well you know Carl and I are friends?”, I asked, almost embarrassed. 
“Yeaaah?”,she smiled at me, almost like she was holding back a laugh actually. Brilliant. 
“Well, recently he’s been acting weird, like barely talking and avoiding me. At first I thought nothing much of it but it’s definitely gotten worse today. Like more obvious that something’s wrong with him”. I sighed. 
She was nodding, still silent, so I carried on. “I asked him about it… but he just brushed it off like it wasn’t a big deal at first. He didn’t wanna talk about it but I managed to get him to tell me. Well… sort of. I Still have no clue what’s going on really.” I felt like I was rambling but I really just wanted to hurry get it over with. I kind of hate talking about how I feel. 
“What did he say Y/N?”. Sasha sounded genuinely interested and set on helping me resolve this. 
“Well he said that ‘stuff has changed’, ever since the run in with those walkers the other day. Do you remember that?”. I brought my hands up to form air quotes, while describing what he said. I wanted Sasha to know his exact words. 
She laughed. “You mean when you almost died? And Carl saved you right as a walker nearly took out a chunk of your neck? Yeah I remember!”, she said so matter of factly. 
I raised my eyebrows and sighed as I continued, “Yeah well… apparently it was since then that ‘it’s different’ now”. I used air quotes again with a funny shake of my head. It was just to mock him really. It’s frustrating that I can’t understand him. I’ve always been able to read him like a book, and I don’t like that I can’t do that now! When I really need to be able to as well. Screw him. 
“Hmm” Sasha looked down at the ground and put her hand to her chin while thinking. “Before I tell you what I think”, she raised her head meeting my eyes again. “Is there anything about that whole encounter that you think he could be referring to? Anything at all?, she looked quizzically at me. 
“Well umm…” I felt weird saying this for some reason. “The only thing I can think of that was out of character, is that after Carl shot the walker he ran over and sort of..” I hesitated. 
“Yeah?”, Sasha urged me to go on. “Well he sort of… hugged me”. Why was that so hard? It was just a hug Y/N. “Like really hard, and didn’t let go… for a while. It was strange I guess. We’ve never hugged before and it was well, weird. Afterwards, when he pulled away”, I continued to explain, “He looked different. Like, in the eyes. It’s hard to explain, and I didn’t even realise it was like this at the time. It was only when Carl mentioned it earlier that I started remembering it like that. I blocked the whole event out of my memory before… cause it was scary.” That’s it. That’s all there is to say. Over to you Sasha.
“Ok” she said, looking down in thought again. I waited patiently for more from her, eyes on hers. “Ok…” she repeated herself. Ok? Wow even she’s flabbergasted, fantastic.
I still watched her silently and intently though. Waiting. 
“Y/N he likes you.” Sasha announced in a serious but cheerful tone. Huh? I furrows my brows confused, 
“Well yeah, we’re friends I mean-“, 
“No” she laughed, “Y/N you really are clueless”. I am lost. She noticed that I wasn’t grinning along with her and so she composed her self, taking a breath. I was just staring at her humourlessly. 
“Hey, I know you think you’re just friends but let me ask you something”, Lord what now?, “Haven’t you ever thought of Carl as more than a friend? Y/N I’m sorry I didn’t mean to laugh but I thought you knew! All of us think that you’ll end up together sooner or later.” Huh?! 
“I’m sorry, what? All of you? Like… the whole group?” This was getting too much. 
“Yeah…”, she replied wearily. “I mean except Carl of course!”, She tried desperately to assure me.
“No! No, I don’t think this is it.”, I affirmed, shaking my head.
“Y/N-“ she spoke softly, seeming almost sorry for me now. 
“No Sasha!” I stood up, not wanting to speak about this anymore. I’d had enough. Spent too long overthinking it is all. Everything will be normal tomorrow probably. “Thank you for your help. I appreciate it, I really do!”, I meant it. “But it’s not that” I retorted, determined to believe every word coming out of my mouth, “It just can’t be.” I added and walked away. 
I moved very quickly, arms swinging at my side, and headed for bed. I just wanted to sleep now. I was almost there when, distracted by my thoughts, I nearly walked straight into the one person I really couldn’t face talking to. 
“Y/N”, Carl spoke. 
I stopped next to him. I think he looked slightly taken aback by my harsh facial expressions. His eyebrows raised, looking almost panicked like a deer caught in the headlights. I didn’t speak so he did. 
“You uh, wanna talk now?”, he asked, sort of hopefully it seemed. But I couldn’t. Not right now anyway. I needed some time to think about what Sasha said. 
“Not really Carl.” I murmered, a little too bluntly. He looked disappointed. “I’m just… tired. Tomorrow though?”, I did still want to talk to him eventually. 
“Uh yeah, sure.” He smiled at me. I sighed, and then I smiled too. 
“Night, Y/N”. 
“Night Carl”. 
I so badly wanted to just go back to how we were before. I missed him. The him that I’ve spent years being accustomed to having around. I hate how we are right now. Then I was off again. I decided not to take one of the few sleeping bags we had. I honestly wasn’t bothered about having one, and thought I’d save it for someone else. I simply took off my outer jacket and my boots, placed the former out on a small patch of hay, curled up into a ball and shut my eyes. By now there was another fire going nearby so it wasn’t so cold at least.
 I lay with my eyes shut but my mind wide awake. The thing is… as much as I told Sasha that her theory was completely and utterly wrong and that it must be something, hell anything else bothering Carl, I couldn’t come up with anything at all that made any sense. 
Frustrated that I couldn’t just fall asleep, I open my eyes slightly, glancing around at everyone and spot Carl sat by the main fire with everyone else. I watched him for a while. The light from the fire hit his face. 
How his eyes shined. I had only very recently even noticed them, but wow they’re wonderful. Those blue hues were the envy of any summer sky. How had I never seen them like that before? 
I noticed something else as well. It was the way he looks at his family, the people he loves. His dad, his sister, Michonne. I observed as Carl watched them. There was something about the way Carl smiled. It was rare but when it happened it was almost breathtaking. He had the kind of smile that made you feel happy to be alive and feel just that little bit more human. It gave me butterflies. 
That has never happened before. For a split second everything stopped and his smile pierced through all the bad in my life and all was well again. I shut my eyes in shock, scared to look at him any longer. As I rolled over, I couldn’t help but think, Sasha might know what she’s talking about after all.
I woke up earlier than most of the group. I didn’t sleep very well. All the thoughts of Carl racing around my head prevented me. How I think I may actually be starting to like him as more than a friend... but also how I didn’t believe at all that he reciprocated those feelings. 
I just find it hard to believe that he could feel that way about me. We had always just been friends. I didn’t know how everyone else saw something more between us, when I only realised it myself last night. If Sasha willingly told me that everyone else believed that, then what if someone had brought it up to Carl as well. That would explain why his strange behaviour was so sudden. 
His conversation with Michonne could have been similar to my one with Sasha. Above all else though the thought that kept coming back while I tried so hard to sleep last night was that no matter what, I could never act on my new found feelings. Never. 
I wish that I could be happy about the fact that I like Carl. I should be right? I should be over the moon that my heart has chosen his. But I’m not happy about it. As well as the fact that I know he doesn’t feel the same way, ever since everything went to shit. I’ve always told myself that for me, this world would never be a place for love. Not this kind. Either you’ll end up dying and leaving them or they’ll die and leave you. That’s something that I’ve seen first hand. That kind of loss can and will destroy you. I don’t think I could ever put myself or anyone else through that. Losing the one person that means absolutely everything to you. You can’t even imagine. It must be like a part of your own soul ripping off and leaving with them. 
So that’s why this whole scenario sucks so bad. I refuse to fall in love, only to have my heart broken one day along the line. Sooner or later. It’s what always happens.
As much as I’d like to just stay here in the corner and block it all out, I figured I should probably get up and face whatever today had to throw at me. Before I did so however, I wanted to know if anyone else was actually awake. It was pretty early after all. I could tell cause the sun hadn’t even come up yet. 
My tired eyes lazily scanned around at all of the sleeping bodies around me and I realised that we were all quite close together. To keep as warm as possible with the body heat I’m assuming. Sasha was the nearest to me. Sound asleep with her coat hood pulled up around her head. Obviously it was freezing because we can’t exactly sleep with the fire lit all night right next to us. 
I’m glad she was by me though. Somehow it made me come to the conclusion that she wasn’t mad at me for snapping at her and then just walking off last night. That’s the closest thing we’ve ever had to an argument and I was really worried that I’d upset her. Especially because I later decided that she was probably right. 
Carl, on the other hand was as far away from me as he could get. He was also fast asleep, just like everyone else. Carl was lying there holding Judith, next to his dad. We usually slept next to each other but somehow I can’t see that happening again. 
I watched as his chest raised and then fell softly. He looked very calm as he slept. More so than he ever does awake. His facial features were soft and relaxed, very different to how they’ve been the past couple days. 
Anyway Y/N concentrate. Just one person was awake. It was Michonne. She was sat over by the main fire keeping warm by the looks of it. She had her back to us, facing the large cabin door. She must be on watch. 
I stood up being as quiet as I could possibly be, put my jacket that I was using as a bed on and crept passed everyone. 
On my way over to join Michonne I thought about how yesterday I would have quite liked some time alone with her to talk about Carl and ask her what was up with him. Now though I would really rather not talk about Carl with her. I don’t want to talk about him at all actually. As I got close she heard me coming and turned around. 
She smiled at me and I returned the smile. I’m really fond of Michonne actually. She’s always been nothing but kind to me and she does a lot for Carl. He loves her and she’s very maternal towards him. He needs that sometimes. 
I joined the group just after Carl lost his mother but from what I’ve heard from him and Maggie, it almost broke him to say the least. Michonne is good for Carl. 
“You’re up early” she said with a hint confusion, as I took a seat across from her, as close to the fire as I could get. 
“Yeah, uh I couldn’t really sleep”. 
“Oh yeah I forgot! You went to bed early didn’t you?”.
I hesitated for a second. I didn’t know what to say without bringing up you know who. “I guess I was really tired last night”. It was true. I may have missed out a few minor details but I didn’t lie. 
She sat there blankly staring at me for a second, and then she hit me with a question I really didn’t expect. “Hey has it got anything to do with Carl?”. She whispered, looking around to make sure nobody heard I’m assuming. I was caught so off guard that I struggled to even think of what to say.
I’m sure my face was full of shock, “No, why?”. I panicked. I couldn’t have sounded less convincing if I tried. I could feel my cheeks heat up and just knew that they were bright red. 
“Mmhmm”. Michonne crossed her arms and looked at me with a smirk.
“What do you mean ‘Mmhmm’?” I whisper- shouted. I don’t think I sounded aggressive... just a little hysterical.
She leant over closer to me. “Y/N listen. You two are normally joined at the hip,” she looked at me, eyebrows raised as if both amused and stunned at the same time. I said nothing. “ and now you’ve barely spoken in what, like two, three days? So just tell me what’s up”. 
I was dumbfounded. I couldn’t think of a way out of this as I sat silently trying to think of what to say. My one goal was to avoid talking about Carl with her, and now here I am, about to reluctantly do just that. 
She persevered, “I may be able to help Y/N”. Her face changed. Before it felt like she was teasing me more than anything. Now she seems more empathetic.
I rolled my eyes, sighing and moved closer towards her, noticing that a few people were starting to wake. Not Carl though, thankfully. “Fine”, I said exasperated. “Long story short, I noticed he started acting weird and avoiding me after he went off to talk to you the day that walker nearly bit me. I asked him why but he didn’t say much really. After that I spoke to Sasha about it and she seems to think it’s cause he likes me all of a sudden. You know… like like’s me. I told her no way, and that’s it”. 
“Why don’t you think he likes you?”
“Huh?”
“Well maybe he does like you as more than a friend. How do you know he doesn’t?”.
I didn’t need to think too hard about this one. I was answering this in my head all night. “Because! It’s Carl! We’re friends. We’ve always been friends. There’s just no way. Plus he’s never shown me any signs that he likes me! I think I’d know if he did, Michonne”.
“Well that’s just it. It’s Carl! He’s so hard to read. He almost always keeps his emotions and thoughts locked right away. I don’t think he likes people being able to get inside his head.” 
She looked deep in thought, trying to work it all out. “Y/N you’re normally the one who manages to bring out his sensitive side. He is most relaxed when he’s with you. Everyone knows that”. 
Here we go again with the ‘everyone’. As if they all have it sussed and I’m the only one that’s left out of the loop. I won’t tell her about how I feel for Carl. That’ll only make this worse. As far as anyone else knows, he’s a friend, that’s it. 
“But I think Sasha’s right! He doesn’t want anyone to know how he feels, least of all you! He hates being vulnerable, cause when you’re vulnerable you can get hurt easily”. Well she’s got that right. “He’s probably trying to hide his feelings and pretend they don’t exist. That way nobody gets hurt”. 
By now everyone was awake, including Carl who was sat playing with Judith. I have to wrap this conversation up, in case anyone overhears. There’s just one thing. Michonne looks as if she’s hiding something. I dunno why… The look in her eyes. She’s not telling me something.
“How are you so sure Michonne?”.
She looked around at the others. More specifically at Carl, I’m assuming. 
“He has said something…”, she looked sort of guilty. “I said I wouldn’t say anything”.
She was internally deciding whether to tell me or not. I gave Michonne a look of desperation. I really had to know whatever she was keeping from me. 
She spoke again, “Ok he’ll probably thank me in the long run”. I watched her intently, hanging on every last word.
She spoke softly. “The conversation he and I had. The day you were nearly bit”, my eyes widened ever so slightly. I’ve been dying to know what they talked about! “We were sat around the fire, and you were talking to Sasha and Rosita I think. I noticed Carl staring into the fire, and thought he looked sort of sad so I brought him away to talk, to see if he was ok”.
“Yeah I noticed the two of you go”, I remember watching them go off to the side and wishing I could hear what they were saying. The serious looks on their faces concerned me.
Michonne continued, “So I asked him what was up and he was reluctant to say anything at all at first. I didn’t believe him when he said he was fine so I kept pressing on”.
Yeah you’re good at that! 
She sensed in my face that I wanted her to get to the point, so she did so. “Basically Y/N, I know you insist he’s just a friend… but he told me that after nearly losing you to that walker he realised how much you meant to him. He mentioned a certain hug you had after he saved you. He said it was like one of those light bulb moments. Everything switched and he noticed his feelings for you start to change.”
“He told me he likes you Y/N… and that he doesn’t know what to do. He’s scared of how he feels. But he told me one thing though… that you couldn’t find out”.
I was in complete and utter shock. I never would have believed it in a million years. I didn’t want to believe it but here we are.
“Oh”, is all I could say. She gave me a sympathetic look.
“Y/N… Do you like him back?”
I thought for a minute. I looked up and saw Carl glance at me for a second. We made eye contact momentarily, and then his attention went back to his dad who he was having a conversation with. I then look back at Michonne feeling quite detached. 
“It doesn’t matter. Nothing like that can ever work out”.
