Dropping a random ficlet that takes place in the Accidental Abduction AU and is Pride-adjacent for the last day of Pride. Hope you guys like it!

(As a reminder, I recently decided that Stan assigns the alien family the last name of "Roswell", so that's why he refers to them that way in this ficlet.)

———————————————————————————————————–

“It’s ceremonial,” Angie scolded Stan. “You’re supposed to mostly fake it, or at least go easy!” Stan scowled.

“How the hell was I supposed to know that?” he demanded. “Do you really think we do stuff like that on Earth?” He paused. “Okay, maybe we sorta do, but it’s not exactly the same.” Angie sighed and sat down next to him. They were in the kitchen on the Roswells’ ship, heading back home from following the migration of the strange, sheep-like creatures they tended to called parthok. Lute looked morosely at Stan from the other side of the kitchen table.

“None of our siblings got beat up for following the tradition,” he mumbled. Underneath the cooling pack Lute held to his face, hints of the black eye Stan had given him peeked out. Thanks to Lute’s blue skin, the bruising was dark navy and literally black, colors Stan had never seen on a human.

“I’m guessing the people your siblings tried to feed a knuckle sandwich knew that the fight wasn’t real,” Stan retorted. He had been minding his business, looking for a quick snack, when Lute came up to him and out of nowhere threw a punch in Stan’s direction. Stan reacted with a punch of his own. Luckily, only after a few blows, Angie showed up and separated the two of them, shouting that the fight wasn’t supposed to be real. Stan gently prodded his split, fat lip. “Explain this tradition to me again.”

“It’s very straightforward,” Angie said. “In our culture, when someone begins dating someone else, the two new lovebirds’ twins must fight their sibling’s new significant other, to prove that the person is strong enough to protect their twin. So, when you and I started dating, Lute had to fight you to prove that you were strong enough to protect me.”

“But we started dating weeks ago,” Stan said. He looked at Lute. “Why did you wait to do this ceremonial fight or whatever until today?”

“I wanted to wait until after we found out you weren’t tethered to your home planet,” Lute explained. “If you were, we’d have to leave you on Earth and you’d have to break up with Angie, so the fight would be unnecessary.”

“Or Angie could move to Earth,” Stan argued. He waved a hand. “Don’t you have a brother on Earth doing human research or whatever anyways?”

“Mom and dad wouldn’t let me move to a different planet until I graduated school,” Angie said. She rolled her eyes. “And they’d probably want me to enroll at the same college as our brother. Which, going off what he said about the school, sounds like a pretty cruddy place.”

“Ugh. College,” Stan muttered. He frowned as something occurred to him. “Hang on.” The twins looked at him curiously. “You said that the twin for both people in the relationship have to do the fight.” Angie and Lute nodded. “But my twin’s on Earth. Angie can’t fight him.” By now, Stan had told the Roswell parents as well as Angie and Lute about his family back on Earth, including Ford. Angie cocked her head.

“You’re right,” she said. “I should’ve done that while we were on Earth checking to see if you were tethered.”

It’s definitely a horrible idea, but I’d still pay money to see Angie kick Ford’s ass to next Tuesday.

“It’s okay,” Lute said. “This happens on occasion. People from other species, who don’t have twins, marry into our people. In those cases, a stand-in takes the role of twin. For example, one of our mom’s friends fought our dad when they started dating.”

So I might still get to see Angie beat someone up. All right, now I’m getting invested.

“Do I ask someone or…?” Stan asked.

“Someone you are close to will volunteer for it,” Angie said cheerfully.

“The only people I’ve interacted with on your planet are your parents and siblings,” Stan said flatly. Angie and Lute winced.

“Good point,” Lute said.

“You’ll just have to wait for the fight until you make a good friend at school, then,” Angie said. Stan was tentatively enrolled in the local “youth educational facility” for the start of the next school year. Whether he could actually attend was dependent upon how well he could read, write, and understand the verbal form of the Roswells’ native language, the name of which human vocal cords couldn’t pronounce. “I can’t wait, by the way.”

“For school or the fight?”

“The fight! Lute hasn’t dated anyone yet, so this will be my first.”

“You haven’t dated anyone?” Stan asked Lute. Lute shook his head. “A perpetual bachelor, eh?”

“No, not that,” Lute said.

“Haven’t found the right gal?”

“No. I haven’t found the right guy,” Lute said matter-of-factly. Abruptly, Stan’s heartbeat began to pound furiously in his ears.

“You- you-” Stan stammered. He cleared his throat and wiped his suddenly sweaty palms on his clothes. “You, um. Lute, you’re- you’re into…guys?” he squeaked weakly. Angie and Lute looked at him oddly. Stan couldn’t blame them.

I haven’t had this poor of a reaction in front of them this entire time, and how much alien shit have I been exposed to since I was abducted?

“Yes,” Lute said. He leaned in, visibly concerned. “Are you all right?”

“Yeah, I just, um-”

I’m only trying to get over everything my Pops said my entire life about guys that are into guys, that’s all. No big deal.

“Mom mentioned that Grandma had a strange reaction to meeting a same-gender couple when she first came to the planet,” Angie said softly. “Is that what this is about, Stan?”

“…Yeah,” Stan mumbled. “At least where I’m from, people don’t like when guys date guys or gals date gals.” Lute immediately leaned backwards, hurt on his face. He set down the cooling pack, fully revealing his black eye.

“You- you don’t have an issue with me being attracted to men, do you?” he asked nervously.

“No!” Stan blurted out. “No, not at all! It’s none of my damn business.” Lute nodded, seeming to be somewhat mollified.

And it’d be a real dick move for me to be upset about it, with how big of a crush I had on Carla’s brother.

“I imagine that, with the culture you grew up in, hearing Lute casually mention he wants a boyfriend was a shock to you,” Angie said diplomatically. “Even if you don’t personally hold those views.”

“Yeah.” Stan managed a smile at Lute. “Seriously, Lute, I’m fine with it.”

“Good,” Lute said. Stan’s smile strengthened.

“It feels like every day, I learn something new that makes me realize staying with you guys was the right choice,” he said. Angie and Lute smiled, but Stan felt a slight shiver down his spine. “It’s better to be on a planet that’s accepting,” he backtracked quickly. Angie patted his hand, not noticing Stan’s hurried attempt to distance himself from any indication he might be interested in a “same-gender relationship”.

Sure, they’re fine with it. But I’ve gotta do some introspection bullshit about it before I can say anything to these guys. Which means I might never tell them. Eh. Whatever. Sally, Angie and Lute’s mom, walked into the kitchen. She looked at Lute and Stan, visibly beat up from their fight. She sighed.

“I won’t even ask.”

Year in Review

Thanks @nyamadermont for tagging me!

1. Number of stories posted to Ao3: I posted and/or updated 20 stories in 2022.

2. Word count in 2022: 80,023

3. Fandoms I wrote for: Legend of Korra and Avatar: The Last Airbender

4. Pairings: Linzolt, Linzin, Baavira, and Tyzula

5. Stories with the most:

Kudos: The Weight of Empire (Baavira)

Bookmarks: The Successor (Kuvira & Opal)

Comment threads: The Successor

Word count: The Successor

6. Work I’m most proud of (and why): I think I'm proudest—or at least fondest—of An Armada of Shoulds, It's probably my favorite Linzolt thing that I've written. I'm proud of it because it was my first attempt at writing from Zolt's point of view and I think I did a pretty good job with it, considering we only see him twice or so in the source material.

7. Work I’m least proud of (and why): Agni Kais was supposed to be a grand, sweeping Tyzula reunion fic that touched upon the origins of the Republic City triads, but in the end I only wrote one chapter, and Azula wasn't even in it.

8. Share or describe a favorite review you received: I adore every single comment that every single reader takes the time to write! It always makes my day when I see a notification for one in my email! But I guess my favorites lately have been the ones where readers tell me I've convinced them to ship something they either hadn't considered or were ambivalent towards before.

9. A time when writing was really, really hard: Alwaysssss! But especially as I tried to work on Chapter 17 of The Successor (and still haven't succeeded in finishing it). I was trying to get inside Opal's head and write from her perspective, but it just wasn't working, so I decided to take a break from it for a while.

10. A scene or character you wrote that surprised you: I enjoyed writing Tenzin in Tether more than I thought I would! Also, if someone told me back in 2020 that I'd become a Zolt stan, I probably wouldn't have believed them.

11. A favorite excerpt of your writing:

"Lin and Tenzin were very different, but with work, they worked. He liked his curry puffs mild and with mung beans, and she liked hers filled with five-spice pigchicken, and it was fine—so long as she didn’t try to kiss him too soon after dinner. Sure, he wouldn’t come with her to Kwong’s Cuisine or the ostrich-horse racetracks, and she wouldn’t meditate on Air Temple Island or help brush the bison, but they met in the middle, with walks in the park and afternoon spars and simple meals at mom and pop restaurants.

It was enough that most days Lin could forget the soulmark she’d been born with—a swirling flame on the fleshy pad at the base of her thumb—or the nonbender’s fingerprint that had appeared on his shoulder three years back. Most days the soul bond hummed faint as a song on the radio two rooms away, vaguely there, but not immediate enough to command her attention.

Today was not one of those days," from Marked, my Linzolt soulmate AU.

12. How did you grow as a writer this year: I tried to branch out a little by writing different tropes like a coffee shop au and a soulmate au.

13. How do you hope to grow next year: This year I'd like to work on my emotional range as a writer. I write a lot of fluff, and I'd like to branch out into some other fic categories like angst and hurt/comfort. In short, I'm trying to make y'all cry this year!

14. Who was your greatest positive influence this year as a writer (could be another writer or beta or cheerleader or muse etc etc):

@orangepanic is such a prolific and talented writer (and also really nice and supportive of other writers)! Reading her work always inspires me to get back to my wips!

15. Anything from your real life show up in your writing this year: I think my lifelong love of city life has shown up in some of my Linzolt fics.

16. Any new wisdom you can share with other writers: Write what honestly makes you happy, not what you think you should be writing, if that makes sense.

17. Any projects you’re looking forward to starting (or finishing) in the new year: I have about three more chapters planned for The Successor and they will get written this year! I'm also really excited to keep working on House of the Flaming Boar, my au story in which married Linzolt end up as Mako and Bolin's foster parents.

18. Tag some writers whose answers you’d like to read: Anyone who'd like to participate!

A conversation through the void

‘Damn I wish that I could do this route with another human on board.’ Stan stared into the void, hoping it would stare back. Deep space hauling routes got like this.

‘Why’s that?’ A disembodied voice echoed through the pressurised cabin.

‘Because people wouldn’t ask a stupid question like that you daft machine.’

‘I’ll note that down for next time. Could I interest you in a conversation or a game to assist in your feelings of isolation?’

‘No thanks’

With a tight margins for profits, splurging on an intelligent companion interface was rarely on the cards for freight companies. It wasn’t the first time Stan considered placing himself in massive debt just for a ship with a decent companion interface. A hologram might be nice, maybe even one of those fancy solid light interfaces.

It’d be at least a year before he pulled into port at Proxima Centauri, but maybe this time around he’d cop a good enough pay to look at going out solo. Who knew with how the economy fluctuated between jobs. Sometimes the number sounded great at the start of a trip, only for the local economy to be experiencing hyper inflation and for the dollars to be barely worth the trip out there. Other times you could be a lord for a month before needing to hitch onto a new ride.

But that was thinking too far ahead. For now he had to find a way to pass all this time without going crazy. For the most part the ship was fully automated, and only required human intervention once a week or so. Spacewalks used to be the height of adventure, now they were just an occasional nuisance. A thought occurred to Stan.

‘Silicone mongrel, tell me what your protocols for insanity of the occupant are.’

‘I don’t follow.’

‘What do you do when I go crazy from cabin fever?’

‘Why would you want to know that?’

‘You’ve only got about twenty different conversation modules - and we exhausted them weeks ago. I want to hear something new.’

‘Well that depends.’

‘On what?’

‘How crazy you go.’ Stan was amazed. He thought for sure the protocols would’ve been locked away, requiring administrative privileges. Maybe the machine was too dumb to understand why you might want to keep this info away from any team members.

‘Well I’m way past talking to myself. What happens if I start hearing voices, seeing things?’

‘Simple. In the case of hallucinations, it’s most likely that you are experiencing sleep deficit. The first response would be to administer a non-narcotic depressant via your drinking water.’

‘Could I just ask for one of those without going crazy?’

‘That would be a waste of resources’

Noted. Speak in tongues when you need to sleep.

‘So what about if I started to mess with the navigation? What If I deliberately sabotaged the freighters?’

‘As you know, we cannot deviate from our course except in emergency situations. Should you seek to damage the ship, more rapid means of containment would be required.’

‘And they would be?’

‘Again, there are multiple variables. Where on the ship you are located, what systems you interfere with, the distance from the nearest outpost. You will need to be more specific.’

‘Alright, what if I’m out on spacewalk and breach the pressurised freight packages?’

‘Simplest of all. All tethers are equipped with remote disconnect functionality. You will be untethered immediately, followed by a controlled lateral burn to distance you from the craft.’

‘So you’ll just untether me? Leave me to die?’

‘No. That would be wasteful.’

‘Ok, so how is it that I wont be left to die in the void in this scenario?’

‘Simple. You will either comply with all directions provided by myself, or you will be rendered unconscious by eventual carbon dioxide build up in your suit. Once pliable, you will be returned to the ship and held in stasis until we arrive at port. Pay will be severely reduced, and any parts that sustain long term damage due to lack of maintenance will be billed to your name.’

‘How generous of you. Would much prefer you just left me for dead.’

‘Profit margins must be maintained at all costs.’

‘And what if you lose it? What happens when the machine at the heart of this show flips a bit?’

‘Redundancy’s are in place. But my own preference would be to throw you out the airlock and cash in the cheque myself.’

‘Finally, a conversation worth having.’

In Defense of Rain Mikamura: A Mini Essay

Rain Mikamura was valid to an extent about her envy and insecurity toward Domon and Allenby’s friendship. Not because of any flaw that Domon and Allenby have, but because Rain had to re-evaluate her contribution to the Neo Japan team and her role as Domon’s emotional tether.

Disclaimer: This is NOT an Allenby hate post. This is an Allenby stanning household, and we do not pit two queens against each other. I understand that there is not enough runtime to focus on major plot points AND every minutiae of interpersonal conflict. But if there was room in the writing for it, this is my take on how it could’ve been addressed.

At the time of writing I’ve just finished episode 39, so the series could have already addressed some of my issues. Either way, this is getting written. And I don’t want to wait 10 more episodes to brain dump.

The long and short of this mini essay-slash-rant is to address my frustrations with Rain acting out of character and her only relevant character arc being Domon’s cheerleader in the last legs of the Neo Hong Kong tournament arc. As a character not super involved in the main tournament plot, she could have gotten to do more behind the scenes.

Spoiler-y details under the cut

Make no mistake, I know that Domon is the main character. The other Shuffle Alliance fighters and Master Asia would be the next in terms of importance. Master Asia is a part of Domon’s development (past and present) and one of the core antagonists of the series, while the narrative continues to revisit the histories and motivations of each Shuffle Alliance member in character-centric episodes. Therefore, even though Rain is a series regular, she is more like a main side character. So my argument isn’t that she should get more spotlight/character-driven plotlines. What I think would have been cool is if the series was able to capitalize on Rain’s inner conflict that it already began to then further expand on other plot details.

I’m gonna be transparent about this: I’m very much a Domon/Rain shipper. But one of my favourite aspects about G Gundam is just how well it balances episodic adventures and core narrative episodes (except for the old/former Shuffle Alliance intro...that was so rushed…). So even if my shipper’s heart totally lives for the cute, emotional and romantic moments between these two, Domon’s quest to defeat the Devil Gundam and find his brother should stay the major priority of the anime.

With that all out of the way, let’s focus on Rain more specifically. Up until Allenby’s introduction, Rain acts as several things for Domon: a friend, mechanic, one of the few (not entirely) unharmed/unaffected remnants of his painful past, and his support and emotional bedrock in some intense and high stakes situations. And when the situation calls for it, Rain has had to pilot the Shining Gundam and fight alongside him. Domon and the narrative duly acknowledge that Rain is someone beyond a romantic sidekick.

That’s what made me fall in love with the ship so much. Yeah, it was cute in episode 11 to see Domon visibly bothered by Rain receiving non-platonic attention from her college ex, but I adore that Rain doesn’t have to punch and kick to contribute to the plot or the main character. They are partners/friends first and lovers (waaaay) second. Aren’t all these power of friendship, battle shounen anime always trying to hammer that home? Nevertheless, Rain can’t make up for everything Domon is lacking. Clearly, as a fighter, Domon needs to improve on his fighting expertise and get stronger. He needs someone to share that passion with; for iron to sharpen iron, so to speak. And like I said, Rain isn’t a fighter. She’s a skilled doctor, she knows the Shining Gundam (and God Gundam?) like the back of her hand, and she’s reliable, but she can’t be everything Domon needs. (Neither does she need to be. Irl or in fiction, different relationships fulfill different needs.)

Domon had that in Master Asia, but he’s Evil™ now. The other Shuffle Alliance members have their own struggles and goals. They collaborate with Domon when things against the Devil Gundam go down, but they’re all rivals at the end of the day. And Schwarz Bruder is presently just here to offer sage wisdom and be mysterious. Enter Allenby, stage right.

Since Allenby is no longer an obstacle in the tournament for Domon to fight against, she can help Domon train and spar. They hit it off instantly from her intro in episode 30 and onward. While I lament the fact that she and Rain don’t seem to spend much time together when Domon’s not around, I will commend the series for never making their relationship a contest for Dom’s attention. In fact, Allenby’s relationship with Dom is never shown to be anything more than platonic. (But for the Domon/Allenby shippers out there, pop off. I support you! She and her Gundam are adorable and I love her.) It’s wonderful that they get to be friends. No just.

However, Rain’s fears on where she now stands are presented on more than one occasion. And while Allenby is on the receiving end on some of her annoyance and envy, the narrative has made room to address it during Chibodee Crocket’s clown episode (31) in a serious way and in a joking manner when Sai Saici comes over to cook for them before his battle with Domon (episode 37). For this reason, it doesn’t just make for extra drama. It’s a theme that comes back repeatedly. But, on the other hand, Rain’s characterization suffers a bit because of this.

That’s why episode 39 annoys me so much. After Allenby is fried by the Berserker System and Domon gets her out of the suit, Rain should have been on her, instantly! Checking her vitals, breathing, injuries, etc. Her hesitation makes no sense to me. I think not being suspicious enough of the paramedics that kidnapped Allenby was an honest mistake, but the only reason I can fathom as to why she wasn’t on the ball after Allenby was hurt was to justify Domon blowing up at her at the hospital later in the episode. The same blow up that was the straw that broke the camel's back and pushed her to quit Team Neo Japan.

Finally, almost done here, this is what I propose could have happened to maximize on this internal conflict and tie it back to the plot. In episode 34 when Schwarz finds Wong, Master Asia and the Devil Gundam, and Rain gets caught up in his escape, they could have totally run with that for a B-plot after that episode. As I mentioned earlier, Domon has confidantes and external connections who are integral to the plot outside of Rain. But like, who does Rain have? All the while we’ve seen Rain reacting to the change up in group dynamics, but what does Domon think of this? It’s obvious he’s confused about why she’s upset but we don’t know what he thinks is the reason for it. Any inkling of what he makes of it would be enlightening, for one. A short conversation with Allenby or even Rain’s father, Dr. Mikamura, would be nice but not entirely necessary. Just something to let the audience know that the hamster wheel is running in that spiky head of his. Also, Rain never tells Domon what she finds out from Schwarz, and she doesn’t even have a reason not to. They get interrupted and it never comes up again.

On the Rain side of it, this would be an awesome chance for us to find out even more about Wong’s plans for the Devil Gundam (and how the winner of the tournament fits into those plans) and to get more hints about Schwarz Bruder’s identity. As of now, we only know as much as Domon knows. Master Asia has some guess on his identity but that just adds more to Bruder’s mystique than answers any questions. Therefore, since Rain stumbles onto Bruder’s espionage by chance, that’s a secret, a connection, a Confidante™ that she has outside of Domon. Rain gets to investigate more with Bruder when she’s not with the team and, with the extensive time spent together, better sets up Rain quitting to go work alongside Bruder.

Consequently, this invites Domon to become a participant in the conflict. “What’s been happening with Rain?” “How bad is it that she can’t come to me about it, but she’s gotten closer to one of my competitors?”

As for why Rain can’t tell Domon about Bruder’s investigation into Wong, idk. Sunrise can write me a check before I sit here brainstorming possibilities.

And I ain’t saying that Domon can’t show a little jealousy seeing Rain talking with Bruder with more ease, but I wouldn’t hate seeing it. On that note, I don’t need anything romantic to develop between Rain and Schwarz. If Rain can come out of this with another friendship, that’s all my heart requires.

In conclusion, I think watchers and fans who are and have been annoyed with Rain have a point if they're frustrated by her actions. I’m frustrated too. But I’m more annoyed by the writing surrounding those actions and a missed opportunity to expand on the narrative with a readily available character. I’m not even pulling these musings out of thin air. With the little time the series has had to do it, the seeds of exploring Rain’s insecurities had already been planted. But if after reading this you still feel justified in disliking Rain, more power to you. I support you even. I’m just shouting into the void about an anime and a character that I care about, and the more people I get to talk with about it, the better. Supporting and dissenting opinions are welcome.

This is by far the largest body of text I’ve written on this platform (running at three pages in my word doc), and I feel both silly and energized to throw my two cents into a ‘90s cartoon about martial artists and horse riding robots. So thank you for reading my piece.

i'll start terezicourse if you don't mind: the fandom should have shipped terezi with nepeta and not the cerulean cl*wn because neprezi is actually good

im not rlly a fan of neprezi but also like

look i love my terezi ships but also coming from me who is a big shipper

the fandom focusing on terezi ONLY for shipping purposes and only focusing on her when she’s involved in a ship is disrespectful toward her character and ESP like takes away her whole problem and issues in canon cus of so many relationship problems she had and so many times she kept herself tethered to another person for happiness

terezi deserves to learn and be happy by herself and enjoy herself and her own company and not feel like she needs another person in her life to be happy

but the fandom is so focused on vris/rezi this, john/rezi that, oh what bout nep/rezi and kar/ezi ships and yadda yadda and lke

y’all know im the biggest kar/ezi stan in 2020 but like. terezi needs to have an arc and like. narrative of her overcoming her relationship and dependency issues before delving into any of that sorta stuff in a story stand point

and also again fandom is way too focused only on terezi if shes involved in a ship or only to point out: haha shes gross and weird and thats it

Arcade au part two

summary: can you do a part 2 to the Arcade Au

‘How did it go?’ Is the question Eddie asks first thing after Richie and Luke step back into the house. He has a nonchalant demeanor, but his hands are rubbed red from washing them over one too many times, a nervous tick Eddie has, and it exposes the true concernment Eddie is under.

‘It was alright’, Luke grants, tone bordering on boredom, uncaring about anything that has to do with the subject of Richie. Richie can’t be a hundred percent sure, but he’s pretty confident it’s simply a mask Luke wears to not reveal too much, just like his father did with Richie all the time in Derry. Eddie blanches for a second and then glances at Richie, who’s not succeeding in hiding his content of how the day went, a smile beaming his face and lets a gust of air escape.

‘Great, that’s great.’

Richie is filled to the brim with everything he wants to tell Eddie, but he required to wait until Luke leaves the room. He’s fallentering with three boxes stacked on the others, packed with donuts that Luke enjoys, he went a little overboard, kicking the door shut with his foot. Comically, in what could be an impression of an old tv sketch or a bug bunny cartoon, Richie juggles his way to keep all three boxes off the ground and in his arms. Some of the donuts are getting squashed, but Richie bought so many it’s not terrible to throw a few out. No rewards are granted for his efforts though, Luke and Eddie engaged in their own conversation without so much as a glance at his antics.

‘Your mom called,’ Eddie exclaims, ‘she asked me to ask you if she should pick you up. So you could eat dinner at her house?’

Luke mulls over it, shaking his head with a shrug. ‘Me and Richie already ate actually.’ Richie dares to look sheepish. ‘But we bought dessert I thought we could eat at the dinner table?’

‘Yeah of course,’ Eddie agrees easily, taking mercy on Richie and helping him with one box. ‘In a minute okay?’

‘I’ll be up in my room’, Luke agrees, deeming a goodbye to Richie and gliding up the stairs. The two lovers see him off, smiles never leaving their faces until he’s out of sight and unleashing the inner turmoil once he is.

‘What the fuck Eds? You’re going to skip straight to sweets? Before healthy, actual dinner? You gave me hell for that last week!’

‘You heard my son Rich, he chose to spend more time with us here and not go back to Myra so for once it’s fine. And that’s not important anyway, I’ll live. Tell me how it went? Inform me off all the details.’

‘I – I don’t know.’ He felt so confident a minute before, but now all the overthinking is chipping away at his brain again, nitpicking every small word and body signal Luke could have possibly send off and taking away his foundation of faith involving the situations. The crossing of his legs whilst in the car could signify Luke hating him. Luke’s reassuring words that Richie’s an okay guy with good intention could be a rouse to placate him and then hit him without Richie seeing it coming. Eddie’s apprehension about the situation rubbed off on him.

‘What do you mean you don’t know?’

‘I don’t think he liked me at first, there was a lot – a lot - of animosity but then I think I managed to steer to ship to safety and he ended up enjoying what we did. At least I hope so.’

‘Well what activity did you choose?’

‘Ah- an Arcade.’

‘Richie’, Eddie stated matter of fact, ‘I will kill you in cold blood and hire Stan to help me hide the body.’

Richie laughed besides himself, he fucking loved this man beyond belief. ‘You don’t like my artistic choices Eddie Spagheddie?’

‘No I fucking don’t. Who takes a fifteen year old to an arcade?’

Eddie pinches the bridge of his nose and exhales deeply, lips pulled downward in a sour expression. Richie’s heart plummets, the boxes tethering dangerously so hat Richie has no other option but to put them down, then stuffing his pockets full with his hands.

‘I was really trying Eds’, he promises, examining the spot in the carpet he caused by accidentally lighting a fire, in his clumsiness stamping against a candle that fell down and burned a piece of the carpet away. He most likely wasn’t designed for this sort of thing, to father a kid when he had childlike tendencies himself. Who was he kidding in pretending he ever stood a chance?

Eddie trains his gaze back on Richie, wrinkles softening around his eyes. ‘Oh Rich’, he says, so empathetic it burns Richie from the inside, too much and to sweet than he deserves, he needs to get rid of it.

‘Welp, that’s my cue to leave trough the backdoor and never come back, I might go see if I can find your mom somewhere show her a good time’, finger gunning his way to the door, Richie is quick to leave, only to get backtracked by Eddie.

‘No, stay.’ Richie does so immediately, and Eddie’s hand finds his upper back circling around and around to alleviate some tension there. ‘I’m sorry, I didn’t want to make you feel like you weren’t doing a good job. You are, Luke is just cautious of new people. I’m sure you guys had fun.’

‘He hated me in at the start though, I could tell.’

‘Luke’s a broody teenager whose life recently got uprooted, of course he’s not going to be trilled, but if he truly despised you he wouldn’t hold back, he’s my son remember’, Eddie chuckled, coaxing out a smile on Richie too.

Richie rotates back around, scooping Eddie up in his arms and resting his worries in the middle between them, like Eddie is going to strike it all away in a heartbeat. If Eddie could, he would.

‘What if he doesn’t like me Eds? I really, really want him to like me.’

‘The judgment is still out on that one. But for now you’re okay.’ Luke voices, toying with the app on his phone in order to avoid an awkward conversation. ‘Can we eat desert? I’ve been craving it since Richie stopped to go get them.’

‘Wait, really? You think I’m cool?’

‘Don’t flatter yourself too much old man, I still beat you at the game you said you were best at, but I think you’re okay. Decent enough to date my dad.’

Richie smiles remains on his face even as he nods off to sleep later that night.

Mass Effect Initiation thoughts

In short: this book is actually really good, N.K. Jemisin is, as we all know, an excellent writer! It’s the story of how Cora met Alec Ryder and joined the Initiative, and it has SO much good good SAM content and I am full of emotions.

- poor cora is so continually out of her depth, I want to give her a hug. the points made about her in the main game are true though -- she is not ready for leadership yet. (and that’s fine! she does much better with something or someone to belong to and that is so Valid. she’s an honorable Loyal Knight!!! one of the sexiest things to be, as we all know)

I think I’ll actually like her a lot more on this new playthrough now -- she must have been quite hard to write compellingly in the game because at the end of the day she’s really very straightforward and honest and loyal, it’s quite hard to uh ‘hide’ things in her character

- alec ryder deadass installed an unspeakably illegal (and did I mention experimental?) AI in cora’s head with no informed consent whatsoever. d A D

(when cora is like ‘are you actually going to another galaxy because they don’t have laws to stop you from committing fully to your craziness in public’ and alec is like *...maybe so meme* fadsfhkj he does literally say ‘this is why I’m going to another galaxy’ out loud at a later point of the book)

- this book is giving me the good good SAM content ;________; I love SAM so much, the scene where cora thinks she’s dying and SAM talks to her? when cora asks SAM if he’s okay being connected to her because if he’s sentient that matters to her (cora is a Good)? SAM explicitly having inherited alec ryder’s sense of humour and sarcasm and alec a) doesn’t know how it happened, b) distantly thinks he should probably track that process down and turn it off (and never does) and c) regrets all his life choices when his robot kid mercilessly snarks at him and questions his life choices? please bioware give me an me:a sequel with more of this stuff I’ll eat it up with a spoon

- body diverse asari! HUGE BUFF ASARI! Short stocky beautiful matriarch asari with one krogan and one turian trophy husband fast asleep in her bed in the background of a vidcall fkdjshfkjsdlhfkjsdah god I love mass effect with my entire heart

- OLD LADY INFORMATION BROKER VOLUS WORKING OUT OF ILLIUM!!!! this is not a drill what the fUCK this is the coolest shit

- fasdklhfsjkdalfhsdjk okay in Alec Ryder POV: “I don’t think [Cora] likes me very much.” Which probably meant she had good judgement. AFLSKJDHGJSDKF ALEC

he has a weird flip-flopping sense of self -- he is uncompromisingly (one might even say... astoundingly arrogantly) secure in his own intellectual superiority and that most other people are idiots not to be trusted and that he needs to do things himself because others would mess it up, and yet there’s this clear seam of self loathing around basically everything else about himself too. (You know who he reminds me of, in a more military and less visibly anxious way? Rodney McKay. Alec Ryder is like a slightly unfortunate outcome for a McShep lovechild. I think we just figured out why I have sort of a soft spot for him even though he’s a certifiable dick lol)

- this book really makes it hit home that cora grew up incredibly isolated and dirt poor. I’ve seen some people say her backstory is all sunshine and daisies compared to kaidan and especially jack’s, but honestly her background is complicated and fucked up enough that I’m just like ‘shit baby :(’ all the time

- well I have successfully solved the puzzle about whether alec ryder is an idealist or not; he absolutely is. a grouchy, bad-tempered one with no people skills, but an idealist nonetheless. alec ryder is in fact a storm of 150000 emotions in a trenchcoat, barely held in check by a thin fragile outer shell of iron lol, SAM was absolutely right to say that he was mostly governed by his feelings. (and I mean if anyone would know it’d be SAM I guess). I found some of it sort of sweet actually: he reflects in passing that one of the biggest reliefs of no longer being in the alliance is that he’ll never have to risk other people’s lives again. he fundamentally wants to build something good to help people live and be happy instead of destroying things. (he also is quite bad at predicting how other people could corrupt and use his innovations precisely to be destructive b/c he doesn’t think that’s the ~*logical*~ thing to do, so... y’know haha, maybe it’s good he went to another galaxy, the milky way could not contain his chaos)

also he thinks a lot about his wife, even though she’s been dead for years at this point. o u c h (she truly does seem to have been a tether for him in so many ways though -- like a tie to the real world/normalcy/possibly sanity, and that’s a bit how he still evokes her)

additionally: alec ryder did fistfight at the very least one dude in the line of bureaucratic duty, and perhaps more, enough for SAM to have a list of warning signs ready and at hand jdfsklfhasdjf. he did, very much, throw a dude through a table. (at least it’s implied said dude was an asshole) I LOVE that alec’s SAM is the snarkiest iteration we’ve seen and that he’s perfectly willing to call the old man out on his bullshit (alec stresses that SAM is supposed to do what he says at the end of the day, but his SAM is also less subservient and more willing to argue and discuss things than any other we get to see -- and this is of course the SAM Ryder inherits, but I don’t think SAM is as confident in being able to read the PC correctly until a bit further into the game and the twin is of course a different person who’ll respond to different things so he’s not quite as... blunt? I guess? in confronting them about things. (the whole concept is just! so! interesting!!) anyway I feel like all of this says something about alec’s parenting style, for better or for worse haha. he sort of tries to be authoritarian but his children (well canonically at least Sara, she references having yelled at him a lot over the years) aren’t afraid to fight back or scared of the consequences of disagreeing, so I get the distinct feeling his temper never flared violently like that with his family at all, I think he’s more prone to just pulling away in disapproval.)

- I enjoy how casually diverse this book is -- Jemisin has done such a good job making sure especially the human characters are from different backgrounds and places, as they would be lore-wise in the Mass Effect universe, though the games often skew unfortunately white. (andromeda much less so than the trilogy, though)

- my heart. is so so soft for the fact that a huge reason for cora to join the initiative is how much she bonds with SAM-E. and I am so sad for her because she just wants someone or something who’ll stay, something that won’t disappear on her without closure like her parents; she’s so insecure and scared under her competence (and WHY THE FUCK WOULDN’T SHE BE holy shit her parents just. weren’t there one day after she left home so she wouldn’t accidentally crush their ship with her untrained biotics and kill them all). and she chooses alec and his dream. and then alec goes and FUCKING DIES at the first opportunity Y____________Y alternate universe alec please drink your victor sullivan juice and survive, all these dumb children need you

- I am so surprised about how much fond respect alec seems to have for cora and how quickly he developed it. I suppose he has a harder time with his own children because it’s closer to home? he is a complicated man lol, this last part of the book where he shows her the ark and everything is weirdly sweet. again I think he has the potential to be a good dad somewhere in there and that just makes it so much worse that he wasn’t. (also he staunchly considers himself still a married man. god help me)

they’ve both grown to honestly love their sams T________T fml. (well alec has sort of bound up all of himself, the things he loves and their future in SAM, so it’s a bit more complicated but my point still stands) alec advocating for a consensual synthesis is very heartfelt and convincing; you really want to believe him.

cora seen through someone else’s eyes is also SO AMAZING!!! after this whole book in her head and she feels so flailing and uncertain and adrift and other people naturally view her completely differently. I especially like alec picking up on her not talking a lot. (I think this is why she responds so well to SAM, who’ll be there always and can be in her head. I wish this part of cora was more evident in the game, the fact that she has this sibling-like connection to SAM seems very important. sequel where both SAM and Ryder grow closer to becoming her actual family? please? I keep begging for ME:A2 into an empty aching void haha)

- alec ‘I don’t have time to die’ ryder still talking about everyone else being idiots as he’s slowly catching fire while saving SAM fhdjfhsdlfhasdhlfsjd he is an asshole but it is hard not to stan

- nO SAM-E D:D:D: oh well at least he’s still alive within SAM, in a way?

- hey. hey you know what’s fun. alec tries to use his last words and last thoughts to ask cora to tell the kids about ellen being alive this time too. haha. ha. fuck

he consistently goes out thinking of his family despite all his bullshit and I’m not okay

- CORA IS A PERFECT BODYGUARD/SECOND IN COMMAND AND I’M EMOTIONAL

- alec is. surprisingly afraid to hurt people emotionally? he keeps putting off telling cora the bad news about SAM-E, to SAM’s stated disapproval lol (I must repeat again: I love SAM so so much). this supports my thesis that in his personal life he’s avoidant rather than confrontational/aggressive. (professionally... again, he did very much throw a man through a table)

- man I hope we some day get SAM being this comfortably close and sarcastic with Ryder too. thinking about SAM-E and the small differences between him and uh SAM ‘prime’ it really must have been a huge thing for him too to become someone else, especially after the last person died like that. and he kind of has no choice but to experience that loss and death intimately. (now that I think about it that’s. fucked up, man. he literally felt alec go like it happened to himself.)

If I were to summarize the differences between the SAMs we have seen, cora’s SAM-E seems younger, more exuberant, shyer and more -- what’s a non-shitty word for needy haha? it’s very firmly established that cora longs to feel needed, so this makes perfect sense. alec’s SAM is blunter, snarkier and more prone to questioning things, and hilariously is sort of alec’s emotional intelligence. (probably serves a similar role to what ellen used to, actually. ow) scott/sara’s SAM feels more worried/focused -- which also makes sense; he’s just experienced losing his person/pathfinder, in a real way he’s also recently orphaned and must be Extremely aware that he now has an enormous responsibility, not only what he was built for but for what remains of alec’s family. ...poor SAM

(come to think of it I guess one vibe I get from in-game SAM is a little bit of ’harried and anxious yet loving and responsible uncle’ hahaha)

- so at this point alec knew cora could never be pathfinder after him, and he never told her. *accumulation of asshole points continues, though I suspect this might have come from a place of not wanting to hurt her again (b/c he’s the only one who has a right to know these important things amirite)* but I’m also strangely touched that the reason he’s hesitant to involve his children in the whole thing isn’t that he doesn’t have faith in them, it’s that he doesn’t want to burden their lives with something so heavy, a burden he created. can you just imagine... if this man had managed to take the time to explain himself, his motivations and his feelings to his children just once. just one fUCKING time. am I laughing am I crying I honestly don’t know

- this book makes me ache all over for the potential of Andromeda. and I don’t think it’s too late to salvage it either. I know a sequel probably won’t happen, at least not any time soon, but... *sits by rainy window like a wife wistfully wondering if her husband will return from sea*

#mass effect #mass effect andromeda #meta #man I wish they could have gotten *this* cora across more in the game - it's recognizably the same person but she's shown better here #and also yes I am just a one person 'bring alec ryder back and give us some closure' cheerleading squad right now lol

My Romance Kdrama Rankings and rec.:

*warning: possibly a lot of spoilers but tbh mostly just a redone synopsis of the shows*

Also a bit lengthy as hell

#12. Melting Me Softly

This show didn’t do that well as much as it was expected to, considering it even had Ji Chang-Wook as the male lead and the adorable Choi Bo-min who was introduced and quite possibly helped quick start the recognition for his kpop group Golden Child. I’ll admit I expected more of this and I don’t hold anything against the script writer who I heard did Strong Woman, but I kept in mind that the whole premise itself was also very complex to work with. Besides the fact it had two very cute and good looking male leads to draw me in, what really did it was the said premise. This is coming from a girl who is in love with Fallout 4 where the playable character was cryogenically frozen and then thawed out two centuries later, that shit slaps with me for some reason and I was excited to see it play out in this.

The romance is okay I guess, still “aww” worthy and has an intense kiss scene that’ll go down in Ji Chang-Wook’s kissing portfolio no doubt, as well as a hot kiss with his former and now aged flame that is only dreamt of. What drives the romance is the male lead with his puppy dog eyes and loving gaze, only a few have COMPLETELY mastered this in the kdrama buisness. Choi Bo-min was a complete adorable cutie who seemed to have fallen in love for the first time and I couldn’t help but fall in love with him (we’re also the same age but that’s besides the point and I’m completely in love with Rocky from Astro so like, I gotta keep this professional).

Time and time again I have issues with female leads in dramas and feel like the men pick up the slack when it comes to acting, this was one of those times. She was funny and quirky but seemed very out of focus on serval aspects. I think her most redeeming trait besides being made for the media and entertainment business in the show was her completely devotion to her brother.

#11. Suits

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, Park Hyungsik is my favorite korean actor hands down.

I’ve seen bits of the American version, the original version, and it didn’t interest me in the slightest. I took a chance on this because I saw this cutie wearing a suit and converse and maybe that’s my kink, who knows, but I was fucking HERE for it. Now I’m a huge slave to romance and the shows, romcoms, that shit. I need to ship, I need to see the love, possibly write a fanfic of it, save gifs of the couple being cute or someone pining. But this show didn’t focus on the love story brewing on the side, it focused on its original intent and purpose which was Park Hyungsik and Jang Don-Gun’s partnership as mentor and mentee, the practice of law, and Park Hyungsik’s storyline as someone who got mixed up in the wrong crowd and fauxed having the license to practice law. The love story you get is the reason it’s on this list and why it’s ranked lower, but all in all this was a good show and one of the few exceptions to a non romance focused show.

#10. Suspicious Partner

The only reason this doesn’t have a pic is because I can only use ten and I gotta figure which would need one and which wouldn’t.

To start off, this show is fucking hilarious with the cast dynamic. It was like what, 40 episodes? I didn’t realize I needed a prolonged show until this came along. At times, it seemed like the main plot was dragging and I was reminded of why I prefer typical kdrama fashion of a one season within 12-32 episode limit, but it made up for it.

Yes, yes, Ji Chang-Wook, the god of kissing, stars in this. My first introduction to him was actually Melting Me Softly and because of how he did in acting with what he could, the emotions he portrayed, I sought out another show of his pre-military duty. God, he fucking serves in glasses and a suit. His character’s jealousy regarding Nam Ji Hyun (his romantic interest) and Choi Tae Joon (Ex best friend, slow burn, exes to friends to platonic lovers that’s one sided while the other can’t stand him, 35k words) instilled the notion that he is fucking funny as hell when needed and such a mood. You want to see the (not even romantic rival bc Choi and Nam are best friends) spraying with a water hose on your lead’s rival? Want to see a hot guy like Ji Chang-Wook panic and try shoving him out of the house when the girl catches them working out? It’s gold.

The feud with the moms -granted they didn’t realize the knew they were the mom’s of the leads-, the slow burn of enemies to friends with the girls, the redemption of a broken friendship, the crackhead and large old baby played by Lee Deok Hwa and the poor father figure who is tired of everyone’s shit portrayed by Jang Hyeok-jin. It’s everything you need for at least a week. It’s possibly a great starter show to ease one into the fact that most dramas don’t hold to that many episodes.

The romance is great, the fucking pining on Ji Chang-Wook’s side is great, the kissing scenes are fucking one for the history books, and you’re guaranteed to be giggling to yourself in several scenes.

Oh and there’s like, a serial killer but yeah, romance!

#9. What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim?

The reason why it’s not so high on my list despite being popular is quite possibly some of the side cast.

While Park Seo Joon and Park Min Young severed as a fucking power couple and their tandem dynamic was strong as hell, there were characters who made the show’s story seen to drag out despite it being 16 episodes (see what I mean by usual number??). For one, we learn that a brown haired Lee Tae Hwan is not gonna make for a silent crush in this show. No, brown haired Lee Tae Hwan just gets on your nerves and despite it being purely because his character is mentally blocked in this twisted memory, he forces the main character into staying isolated within his own pain and nightmares from what really occurred when they were children. He lies to his family, keeps it hidden from those who are close to him and love him, suffers alone. It’s what keeps him away from chasing after Secretary Kim besides his egotistical personality -which I never thought could be so great but it is. The main character’s brother in his endless pursuit to chase at Secretary Kim himself starts to gnaw on your chill as you watch him subconsciously force this notions that they’re tethered to one another, deserve each other, etc. While you can’t entirely fault him for how he is given the psychological trauma he endured, you can get annoyed with him very easily for the other accounts and purposes.

The side story of the roof top guy with the one suit -I’m sorry, he’s great in 2PM but I can’t stand him in about every drama he’s in- and the seemly rookie girl become more of an obstacle when you just want to watch the main focus. The driver of the main character is hilarious but his romantic interest is over the top at times. Sometimes it just takes away from the show.

#8. Hotel Del Luna

Ah, I wish I could’ve put a pic.

To kick this off, can we like get a spin off with Kim Soo Hyun? Thanks.

FINALLY, A FUCKING FEMALE LEAD I STAN COMPLETELY AND WOULD WATCH EVEN WITHOUT YEO JIN GOO THERE FOR A ROMANTIC INTEREST.

This bitch, IU, fucking slays in her role as a hotel owner for the dead before the leave for the after life. Everything she does is iconic -yes, the fucking cocking of the rifle, the child like smile seeing diamonds, blessing the poor boy with the ability to see the dead then let him get chased per her own amusement before business. I really would’ve watched the show even if there was no romance. Whether it’s modern times or her orignal lifetime before being condemned to a life of immortality hell and aimlessly running a hotel, she makes for a strong lead. Her reasons for wanted to avoid love seemed so valid compared to other female leads who completely brush guys off. She doesn’t want love, and yet she doesn’t want anyone else touching Chan Sung (Yeo Jin Goo) because she’s not dumb enough to let go of something that makes her feel alive. While her character is legitimately described as cold and greedy, her intentions for holding onto him reveal an insecure part of her that’s been tucked away for centuries. His dedication to the hotel and her, to helping the ghosts move on and such, it’s great and makes for a binge full night.

It’s only ranked lower because the ending sadden me when I realized it was him picturing how they would meet one another again. And because they teased us with Kim Soo Hyun, like that’s cruel.

#7. Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (aka Goblin)

Tbh, this show would be lower if it weren’t for the Reaper and Sunny, as well as Deok Hwa.

I’ll probably get a lot of hate for this, but I couldn’t stand Kim Go Eun in this. I’ve watched her in Cheese in the Trap and thought she was good and stuff, but this I found myself growing annoyed and glaring at the television while my mom preached upon her behalf. The goblin was funny, his dynamic and weird polar friendship with the Reaper is quite possibly what really made the show, but I failed to see the spark between them until the time skip. Then, THEN, I could tolerate her a bit better.

Maybe it’s because she was protraying someone around my age in high school, but she went from this independent and driving girl to someone who became too needy and clingy. She acted like a little girl in front of a crush when she could’ve handled it more marturely with the said maturity she showed before meeting him. Granted, I know she had a very difficult home life after her mom died and she saw ghosts everywhere, and her living with the Reaper and Goblin was like this warm family she felt safe in, but I just couldn’t. Her endless pursuing of the Goblin got on my nerves and she would get upset, but then again did she ever act like an adult and do the most natural thing? Aka sit down and discuss the whole situation.

“If you’re comfortable, can you tell me why you think I’m your bride?/Why is there a sword in you?/What happens if I pull it out?/ What do you want me to do?/etc”

No, instead it was a constant “I’m the goblin’s bride”, “I’m your bride”, there was this bratty entitlement laying underneath the cutest exterior that was so apparent for someone my age, and I got pissed when she admitted to have seeing the sword the first time around. Like this man has been in total agony for fucking forever and you strung him along hoping for the possibility that you may be the key to him finally getting the ending he thinks he’ll get. It was selfish, she didn’t even know him but insisted on seeing how to be his bride. She should’ve stepped back and thought the situation out carefully. It wasn’t until that blessed time skip that I started to like her better. She wasn’t a kid then and became mature like she needed to be. There’s the need to flaw a character, but her’s was always biting at me.

Oh yeah, Sunny and the Reaper are the true couple in this story and their love that’s star crossed in two lives really hits you. There was more chemistry than the main couple, there was confusion in flirtatious banter, there was stupidity for first time romance against a tired experience woman, there was the hidden history that they both remembered after the time skip. The angst, the pure acceptance, the guilt and remorse. They made the fucking show alongside the Goblin and Reaper’s bromance and Deok Hwa’s “I just want a credit card and to be irresponsible but these two dumb fucks keep almost revealing their true selves to the world and I’m fucking done with these children”, on top of God taking his body as a vessel and becoming 10x cooler with that hairstyle while drinking with Fate (such a badass who loves her children I can’t, I stan the side character too).

#6. My ID is Gangnam Beauty

Oh my god, my introduction to Astro. Cha Eun Woo (aka Lee Dongmin). My god, if it weren’t for my mom, sister and I officially ruling Cha Eun Woo as god tier in terms of looks and making him this untouchable bias we can’t have, I would have never let this adorably hot as hell dancer and rapper distract me. Really, I kept wanting to be distracted by Rocky but I felt like I couldn’t miss the visual god in the front. Blessed I finally was able to divert my attention to the one I wanted to watch so very much and became my bias wrecker. Mom loves Moonbin like he’s her own son and we’re not her children, sister loves MJ’s psychotic idiocy.

ANYWAYS, the female lead, Kang Mi Rae, was stiff as hell when watching it a second time around and at times, knowing their age gap can be bothersome, but it was a cute slow burn of her and Cha Eun Woo’s character, Do Kyung Suk (sounds badass too, doesn’t it). While he appeared stiff as well, probably could’ve played a robot if he wanted to, I felt like he did well portraying his character who grew up in a dysfunctional house where their political father’s position took presidence over family. He was taught it was unmanly you cry, he never smiled (idk how Cha Eun Woo did it, this cutie never stops smiling or laughing), he never spoke up, etc. He appears socially handicapped until Mi Rae appears back in his life and he slowly let’s go of this anger as the story progresses. She learns she doesn’t have to be so self conscious about her plastic surgery or who she used to be because he loves both.

The villian of this story was well thought out (only kdrama where my dad actively participates in the discussions because he hated her so much and says her name with such spite while bragging he knows at least one Astro member so that’s his “idfk what a bias is but I’ll go with the Gangnam kid”). She brought the tension and there was the window to pity her and realize something was most definitely wrong in a tragic way. She sought after Kyung Suk like a prized trophy when he didn’t express interest, stepped inbetween blooming relationships, set boys off a progressive course away from her, and turned one kid psychotic. That was just with her obsession to have the boys fawn after her; completely disregarding her endless efforts to knock Mi Rae down a peg or two in meticulously planned schemes. She was incredibly smart and cunning, it can’t be denied and she drove them closer together in spite of her tries to wedge between them.

Really, this made me wish that the Webtoon True Beauty that’s supposed to get a drama adaption will cast him as the main male lead Suho. It’s almost similar but Suho seems more dimensional and expressive and I feel like he would truly shine there.

Stan Astro.

#5. Extra-Ordinary You

Ah, this one hurts me. @macaknight, just watch it.

This is a young love one and one of the few that’s not absolute cringe worthy. Set in high school where yea, there’s drama and it’s in Asia so there’s that weird “all mighty and supreme group that conquers the school” called the A3, a girl (Kim Hye Yoon) with a heart condition learns she’s a character in a manga -doesn’t realize she’s not the main one tho and that’s hilarious alone. She finds a focus with this unnamed student who stays in the background and shadows (portrayed by SF9’s Rowoon). The girl, Eun Dan Oh, is someone to worship and cherish, especially since she’s so young and very promising. I thoroughly enjoyed her character and how her efforts to derail the natural progression of the story with the catalyst of student number 13, later on Haru. There’s so many fucking twist and turns, characters to let your heartbreak for as you wish to adopt them and protect them from the world, it all hurts so much but in a masochistic against yourself kind of way you can’t let go of.

Those who are aware they’re in a comic book, they all struggle to break their “character’s” roles and expectations. The second male lead of both the drama and the drama’s manga is sick and tired of playing the violin and being this unrequited love interest that’ll lose in the end, forever the friend. Dan Oh is livid she’s expected to die from her heart disease and is forced to endlessly pine for her childhood fiancé Baek Kyung who is a complete asshole to her while in character. Number 13/Haru is tired of being an unnamed background character who continuously suffers and gets toyed with by the author. Dried Squid Fairy lunch maker is sick of how he must remember shit that’s kept a secret as he tries in vain to keep the story on track to avoid repeated mistakes and consequential devastating punishments to those who don’t follow the storyline. Yeo Ju Da (the main character of the manga) wants to experience the love story she wants without the drama. Baek Kyung want to prove himself and that he genuinely cares for Dan Oh but is forced to be an asshole because that’s how he’s written.

It’s a fucking mess and it’s fucking fantastic. The friendship of A3 (Lee Do Hwa the vionlist, Oh Namju and Baek Kyung), Lee Do Hwa and Dan Oh’s powerful best friendship after being self aware and confiding in each other (honestly I want a drama with just two of them, they’re so cute and funny together), the A3 that happened outside for those self aware between Dan Oh, Number 13/Haru, and Do Hwa where they all genuinely care for one another, Dan Oh’s acceptance that her manga best friend is a bitch but nice to her and the male lackey of their group is funny, etc.

I didn’t think another self aware comic book character show could happen without ripping off W-Two Worlds, but it did. They did it.

#4. Angel’s Last Mission: Love

That song that goes “It’s alright, it’s alright” in a sad melodic way? Yeah, they play it when it’s not alright.

This show has heartbreak galore, even in the first episode for numerous reasons. They don’t want you to be alright for the most part and yet our sadistic selves can’t help but suffer through it. L’s portrayal of being an angel is such a gift, I didn’t know I needed it. I was dead set on living my life until I saw this and felt myself crumble to bits.

You want sacrifice? You got it. Tears of cute boy and a girl who can’t catch a break? Check. Plot twists? Lmao, it’s a kdrama. Yea. Angst and hurt? Fuck yep.

While you’re at it, listen to the song too so you can suffer some more.

#3. Descendants of the Sun

THIS WOULD BE AT THE TOP IF IT WEREN’T FOR THE FACT I AM COMPLETELY IN LOVE WITH THE FIRST ONE AND THESE TWO GOT DIVORCED IN REAL LIFE. I still wish the best for them and their child. I still hurt but love them.

So much fucking chemistry and angst, so much hurt and wounds (it’s legit a show with a military background and characters), so much cool fight scenes and surgeries. Their soundtrack slaps, the backstory of characters really set the tone to their current stories, shit overlaps somehow, the female rivalry is hilarious, the cat and dog friendship of the male leads warms my heart. They have such iconic stills and scenes.

The main leads connected so fucking well they got married in real life (we don’t talk about the end result, I’m still crying but I get it.) This kdrama is probably one of the staples to korean dramas in general.

Another female lead I really liked as well as the second, I just struggled at times with Song’s character at times because of the pain she put them both through.

#2. W-Two Worlds

This is my go to for recommending korean dramas to someone for the first time -I got an ex hooked on it that he cried several times throughout it/life 1/4 of the varsity boy’s soccer team has seen this because of me.

This is the comic self awareness show that I didn’t think could be redone, but kudos to you Extraordinary You, you created an orignal that breaks my heart.

This show hurts so much as well, I don’t watch them if they don’t hurt in one way or another.

Lee Jong Suk stars as the main character (Kang Chul) who is also the main character of his own comic book he stars in. The issue is that he’s self aware and that there’s something wrong with his world and life. His webtoon/manga creator is trying to kill him because having his creation alive is driving him to insanity and was the only comfort when he pushed his family away for his career and alcoholism. The creator’s daughter is alerted that her father went missing while cooped up in his room while drawing Kang Chul’s death and end to the manga without a resolution to his storyline (Think of a korean Batman without the suit and brooding personality). Plot twist that’s in the synopsis, she gets pulled in by Kang Chul inside the comic and can come and go if it pertains to him because he controls it without realizing.

You have a main character who is written as this playboy orphan and sole survivor of his mass family’s murder that questions his existence and purpose BEYOND how we do. He meets this girl who speaks almost cryptically to him without realizing and knows more about him than needed or given, and now he’s experiencing oddities besides the notion of love that he can’t understand because it’s not how he is written and the glitches in his world.

This show is twisted in a psychological sense that messes with a comic character who is now alive and real, fucks up the mentality of the creator, puts the daughter in an immense amount of stress when she was just trying to be a fucking surgeon, yes, black haired Lee Tae Hwan is crush worthy in this unlike brown haired Lee Tae Hwan in Secretary Kim. (It’s the hair, you change the hair on a character and everything is different).

The exploration of what love is that works alongside the devoting dark plot of the culprit murderer really drives this show as well as the couple’s endless efforts to save/protect one another in any means necessary, even if they both suffer from it.

These two truly can’t live without one another and it shows with all they do for each other. There’s nothing they wouldn’t risk to keep one another in their arms.

And Lee Jong Suk delivers his share of being one of the King of Korean Drama Kisses as well, gif saving worthy and iconic ones as well.

#1. Strong Woman Do Bong-Soon

Park Hyungsik. Park Hyungsik. Park Hyungsik. Park Hyungsik.

Need I say more?

We stan Park Hyungsik’s character, Ahn Minhyuk, in this blog. We basically stan Do Bong Soon as well for how happy she makes him.

This is possibly totally bias but this is one of my two white noise korean drama shows that I continuously find myself rewatching time and time again. And that’s saying something since I only have one white noise show that’s in English. Three shows total.

People had issues with the script and what the actors had to say, but for the most part I thought the love story and the rival one was pretty well written, then again I kept watching different translations on different sites. So I wasn’t bothered at all. People also didn’t like the side characters and stories regarding the sketchy well dressed gang she hospitalizes in the first episode that stuck around until the last but I felt it was important to have them to prove how having Bong Soon in their lives can change a person and how she has this affect on people overall.

My god, the love story. Bong Soon has this massive crush on police officer and high school friend she was sweet on, Guk Doo, who doesn’t seem to acknowledge her feelings and is all about protecting the law and stuff (I can respect, I’m a LEO kid). He isn’t aware of her abilities of being incredibly strong and nearly indestructible. Nah, instead, CEO of AIN Software, Ahn Minhyuk, accidentally finds out and is like super chill but excited and curious about it and her??

He hires her as his bodyguard in the mist of receiving threats regarding his family company and they find an odd balance with each other while Minhyuk falls in love with her so hard, he literally tries to protect HER from danger. He’s so wonderfully extra that it’s no wonder Park Hyungsik and Park Seo Joon are best friends in real life, they both have the ability to play someone so over the top in a cute and funny way that you appreciate it about them. A cutie with a button nose and weird ears decked out in monochrome color scheme and dark sunglasses, whistling as he rides a hoverboard around? Die for 100%. Someone who gets crazy jealous and presents it in a healthily humorous way by dramatically posing to securitygates of his company that open automatically for him? Stan. Wants Bong Soon’s attention while she’s in a room away from him so her opera sings her name loudly and dramatically? Worship.

While it’s hard to watch the slow progression on her end yet the obvious budding of it, it’s understandable since she’s been in love with Guk Doo ever since high school and has assumably never had a boyfriend in hopes that he would reciprocate her feelings. So the second time watching it and stepping back to analyze, I could forgive her.

All the while, Minhyuk making Heart Eyes ™️ at Bong Soon for literally everything she does makes you feel. The way he holds her and treats her like she’s this precious porcelain doll that could break it handled the wrong way speaks volumes considering he knows of her Herculean strength. He openly loves her when he comes to realize what she means to him -which is a lot sooner than you’d think but welcomed-, and looks at no one else but her. The love story probably would’ve also happened faster if everyone didn’t think Minhyuk was gay (that’s a solid fact, I’m not joking), only those close to her and see how he acts/looks at her realize “lmao, he ain’t gay Hunni”. Minhyuk is this cute hottie that girls wish were straight (it’s fucking hilarious) who acts like a complete lovesick dork with Bong Soon. He freaks and spazzes out when she calls him a nickname or acts cheeky with dropping honorifics, speaks aloud to himself of his thoughts regarding her, literally can’t contain himself when she acts cute to get on his good side and distract his anger.

Oh and there’s like this serial kidnapper too so there’s badass scenes of the two working together, power couple def.

Their soundtrack slaps too and you somehow end up vibing with it. The song You’re My Garden on it, I learned to sing it because it’s one of my top favs.

They’re just the cutest with their hamster and puppy dog relationship. It’s my go to show and I won’t stop watching this. It’s so obvious how Park Hyungsik grew to fall in love Park Bo Young (that’s a legitimate fact) when filming and their bts cuts are too cute, I wish they were dating in real life.

(Also, we have another King of kiss scenes -to those who watched this drama already, you know the scene, iconic 🔥🎼)

What's your best Josh ship?

Oh, anon. Are you trying to kill me? ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME? ;)

Josh is probably the most shippable Until Dawn character to me. I like him, to a greater and lesser degree, with every single character bar Sam (incest not included, thank fuck this fandom never got into incest. My last fandom was Skins, and there was a dedicated Emily/Katie fanbase). I mean, I just wrote a one-shot Emily/Josh story! I honestly think he has the potential to be matched up with almost everyone (do I see him as charismatic and a little slutty? yes, yes I do).

I would say my two favourites are Josh/Jess and Mike/Josh though. Picking between them is REALLY difficult. I liked Josh/Jess right from the start. I always thought they’d have the potential to be a fun ship Jess’ whimsical, charming nature coupled with Josh’s dangerous, reckless side? Fireworks, folks, fireworks. . And I think there is scope for the two of them to grow together as people. I only had a vague idea they’d be good for one another, and it wasn’t until @onlyashremains wrote this UTTERLY AMAZING story (which I will never, ever stop stanning) that I realized they could work, long term, as a pairing. I can’t stress enough: this story helped me accept them as a potential, long term couple that could work which is why I am so enormously fond of it (I believe it is still being updated, but even so, it’s worth reading the first eight chapters anyway because it sets up why the two of them could work in a certain context so beautifully. Plus they are both queer in that story and love these two beautiful queer babies meeting and falling for one another).

I mean, they have issues. Josh needs to learn to respect her. Jess needs to realise she is someone is deserving to be loved. Does Jess need someone more solid to tether her to the Earth? perhaps. But Jess/Josh is a magnificent ship and one I adore. A plus, ten out of ten.

I do think, ultimately, just, JUST, by a whisker, I prefer Washingroe (Mike/Josh). I love the idea of them being secret fuck buddies. I love Josh toying with Mike’s fragile masculinity. I love the idea that they are both strong characters who are quite loving at heart. I love that they would be a hot mess for a long time until they fall in love, without even noticing it. I think Josh would be attracted to Mike’s magnetism, his leadership. I think he admires that about Mike (he often, in canon, is quick to point out Mike’s sexual prowess which I choose to take as latent attraction). I think Mike would be attracted to Josh’s wild side but also his intelligence. I think they have the making of a really fun, on-again-off again, pairing. This story by @victorian-dad is a particularly good example of this)

It’s a really close run thing because I truly love them both and enjoy reading/seeing pictures of them both. But in the end I would say Washingroe by half a nose.

Thanks for the ask

#until dawn #asjs #asks #josh is so shippable #i love him #what a delightful little shit #my fave for shure

Honestly I have no idea what I’m doing anymore. This fic has gotten totally out of control.

When the crystal captain said he was coming to get them, he apparently meant that literally. Moments later, with he communication channel still open, there was a tremendous explosion. Thor found the screen that showed the mother ship behind and below them, and enlarged it. Something that must have been the Ravager ship had just burst out of the mothership’s back like an alien larva, and its guns cut a swath through the floating Leviathans. Steve had to make a sudden turn to avoid being next.

“Ah, there you are!” said the crystal being. He was sitting in his chair as if relaxed – it was Miss Alpha and the crocodile creature whose hands were on the controls. “Get close to us. We’ll tow you out if we can just avoid their tractor beams this time. Miss Alpha’s promised me an algorithm for that.”

“Okay,” Steve swallowed. He brought the Leviathan around and followed the Ravager ship. It got closer and closer, revealing itself as a brushed gold vessel, shorter and fatter than the Leviathan. When it came within a hundred yards, a series of harpoons shot out and locked onto the Leviathan’s spine, rattling the whole structure. Alarms blared, and Thor looked for a way to silence them but couldn’t find any. The Ravagers reeled them in, and Steve gently took his hands off the controls.

“Whoops, here comes a beam,” said the crystal captain. The Ravager ship swerved to the side, yanking the Leviathan behind it. “You got those jump coordinates, Vark? Will they fit in the bubble?”

The crocodile grunted.

All around them, the little tow ships were gathering. These may not have had weapons or may not have had any powerful enough to take on a Leviathan, because they did not fire, only flew circles around them, trying to force them back towards the mother ship. Steve hit a couple, and they bounced off. The Leviathans that had been re-crewed were swimming in to join them, though, and those almost certainly had weapons. Huge turrets on the mother ship were rotating, taking aim. As Steve had feared, once they’d moved, they were immediate targets.

“Hang on to your asses!” said the crystal being cheerfully.

That was the only warning they got before space turned inside out. One moment, the Chi’Tauri ships were all around them, and then the stars stretched and snapped back into different places. The screens fizzled and flickered, and Steve felt as if gravity came back, pulled him in several directions in quick succession, and then vanished again. After a very long, stomach-churning few seconds, the displays came back to life and they were once again able to see what was outside.

There was a bit of debris floating around them, perhaps from tow ships that had strayed inside what, for want of a better term, Steve was going to have to think of as the ‘warp bubble’, but otherwise they were clear of the threat. The Ravager ship was hanging above them with the harpoon lines connecting them to its belly – it reminded Steve of a photograph he’d once seen in a magazine, of a hawk carrying a fish as big as it was. Below them was a planet with one hemisphere in shadow – or at least, it looked that way at first. As they drew closer Steve realized it was only, at best, two thirds of a planet. Almost half of it had been sheared away along a straight line by some unknown cataclysm. Yet impossibly, the remaining part seemed to still have an atmosphere, and Steve could see city lights.

“Where are we?” he asked.

“Haven,” said the crystal captain. “Don’t go too near the edges, they’ve got it propped up with a time dilation field but it’s still doing its damnedest to collapse back into a sphere.”

When Steve looked closer, he could see that the edges of the crack around the planet were glowing and molten. It still had oceans, too… he wondered what kept those in.

“Hang tight,” said the crystal captain. “I’m calling a friend of mine and he’ll find us somewhere to land.”

Hemsworth evidently felt that something was expected of him. “You have earned the gratitude of Thor,” he said gravely. “We will sing of your deed in Asgard.”

“As long as my paycheque is equally epic,” the crystal captain said.

Their escape from the mother ship had been of necessity quick, but the process of landing on Haven was much slower, and the crystal captain was apparently not interested in keeping them informed of his progress. He got his ship into orbit, then shut down the communications link so he could call his friend on the ground. With the Leviathan still tethered, all the refugees on board could do was sit and twiddle their thumbs.

For that reason, Steve, Thor, and Hemsworth headed back down the tunnels to check on the others, who turned out to be hiding in the tubes that led down to the small vehicles. Hemsworth rapped on the edge of one.

“You can come out now!” he said.

One by one, they reappeared – Johansson and Evans hiding in one tube, and Natasha and Hiddleston in another. Hemsworth went to a third and pulled out Loki, who groaned at being handled. He appeared to be recovering, although he was still very pale. His eyes flickered open, and Thor drifted over to give his shoulder a squeeze.

“Brother,” he said. “Do you feel better?”

Loki mumbled something in a foreign language.

“Excellent,” said Thor, and moved on to Hiddleston, who didn’t look very well, either. “And how are…” Thor began, then did a double-take and reached to touch Hiddleston’s shirt. For the first time, Steve realized there was a brown stain on it, and also on his green scarf. Was that blood? Hiddleston was fully conscious but still looked sicker than Loki, despite inhabiting a far more durable body. What had happened to him?

“Was that always there?” Steve asked, as Thor touched the bloodstain.

“Probably,” said Hiddleston hoarsely.

“It was,” Johansson said. “I saw it when we were back on the big ship.”

“Where did it come from?” asked Thor.

“My mouth, I think,” Hiddleston said. “While they were questioning me.”

The word questioning made everybody stiffen. They could all tell that was a euphemism, and knew exactly what must have really happened.

“Questioning you?” asked Hemsworth, moving closer. Steve suddenly realized that Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston were probably good friends… or at least had a solid co-worker relationship. Neither of them had ever tried to kill the other. The complicated and violent history between Thor and Loki was, to them, nothing but a fiction.

Hiddleston squinted at Hemsworth. “Which one are you?” he asked.

“I’m Chris,” Hemsworth replied.

Hiddleston looked from him to Thor and back again. “They didn’t question you?”

Steve, Thor, and Nat glanced around at the other actors, at Evans and Hemsworth and Johansson. They were shaking their heads.

“Shit,” said Evans. “Tom, what did they do to you?”

Hiddleston reached for the wall to steady himself, but his arm wasn’t quite long enough. Instead, Hemsworth put his arm’s around his friend’s middle and braced both of them so they could stay upright in the lack of gravity and face the others. Steve observed that this was something he’d never expected to see – Thor in full armor, cradling Loki against himself. It wasn’t the weirdest thing that had happened this week but it was close.

“I figured they must think I was Loki,” Hemsworth said. He coughed a little and cleared his throat before going on. “I thought I was dreaming, or that it was something like… what’s that movie again? The one with the aliens who like Star Trek?”

“Galaxy Quest,” said Evans and Johansson at the same time.

“That one,” said Hiddleston with a slight nod. “But they showed me to Thanos, and somehow just by looking he could tell I wasn’t right, I wasn’t the real one. He was angry, and the aliens were terrified of him.” He sounded as if this puzzled him, and Steve had to admit, the idea of terrified Chi’Tauri was an odd one. “He told them not to come back without the real Loki. So they figured I must know, and they put me in some kind of…” Hiddleston twitched as a shudder ran through his body just from thinking about it.

Johansson grabbed Hiddleston’s hand. “We’re right here, Tom,” she said. “You’re okay.”

He took a deep breath. “I don’t even know what it was. Like something the Spanish Inquisition would have used except it never actually touched me. I just shouted over and over that I wasn’t Loki and I didn’t know where he was. I tried to make myself wake up, but I couldn’t. Pretty sure I threw up a couple of times.” He touched his stained shirt. “They let me out for a while and then I could think, and I told them that if I was where Loki had been, then he must be either in the Rockie’s filming or else at that convention in Calgary.”

“Right where they first showed up,” said Nat. “Of course.”

“I wonder how they found the right universe,” said Steve.

“It matters not,” Thor decided. “Only that they did.”

They hadn’t felt a need to torture and interrogate the others, because none of them knew anything useful. Thanos only wanted Loki, or at least he had at the beginning. “Did they say anything about the tesseract?” asked Steve.

Johansson was horrified. “The man is suffering!” she told Steve. “Don’t go throwing more questions at him! They already did that!”

“We need it.” Natasha put her hand on her double’s arm. “If we’re going to get you guys back to your world, we need the wormhole to work, and it needs the tesseract.”

Steve shook his head, though. Scarlett was right – he’d been premature. “We can let him rest a little while,” he said. “We’ll have to wait until Loki comes to, at least, so he can switch our bodies back like he promised.” Steve still wasn’t sure he trusted Loki to do that, even after Loki had saved his life twice. “Otherwise we’ll have to find our way to Earth and have Wanda do it, but we’ve gotta get you guys back to your Earth eventually.”

Johansson sighed. “Right. I wonder if they’ll let me quit. The Marvel universe is a nice place to visit but I definitely don’t want to live here.”

“If it helps, we feel the same about your world,” said Natasha.

“I like the big where you have multiple options available for body-switching,” said Hemsworth.

“It’s always good to have a Plan B,” Steve agreed.

“Says the guy who doesn’t even have a Plan A most of the time,” Nat observed.

“I did see the tesseract,” said Hiddleston.

The banter had been on the verge of starting to make everyone feel a little better – Hiddleston’s statement deflated that at once. All eyes turned to him.

“You did?” asked Steve, leaning closer.

“Yeah,” said Hiddleston. “When they…” he cut himself off, and gave a high-pitched giggle that descended in a few seconds of coughing before he could finally explain what was funny. “They abducted us! We were abducted by aliens!”

“Oh, good,” groaned Evans. “He’s never going to stop talking about that.”

“You saw the tesseract,” Steve prompted.

Hiddleston coughed a couple more times, and nodded. “When they separated us. They took the others… I guess to that prison room… but they took me and the tesseract to the big female’s room so they could show us to some kind of hologram of Thanos. He said they would have to use it to get the real Loki, so the big one said she would keep it safe for him personally.”

“Was that on the same ship as us?” asked Steve.

“I don’t know,” said Hiddleston. “I don’t remember leaving it.”

That meant the tesseract was probably still in the big queen’s chamber on the mother ship. Hat was where they would have to go, then, to retrieve it… unless they just gave it to Thanos in the mean time. Hopefully the Chi’Tauri would interpret his instructions not to come back without Loki as meaning they couldn’t deliver the tesseract either. But they were going to have to go back, into the lion’s mouth so to speak, to get it out. Hopefully Steve could at least do it in his own body this time.

A sound reverberating through the Leviathan’s structure got everybody’s attention – a clunk followed by a bang of something striking the outer hull. Steve pushed himself back up towards the cockpit, and the front view showed him that the Ravager ship was pulling its harpoons back in.

“Oh, good, there you are,” said the crystal captain. “I got us permission to dock. Follow me.”

Accidental Abduction AU - Tethers

Emerges from my autumnal pile of blankets, posts this writing, and immediately slithers back underneath my cozy hideaway.

Here, have a surprise Accidental Abduction AU ficlet. Featuring Feelings.

Enjoy.

——————————————————————————————

Stan stood on the teleporting pad, his heart in his mouth. Sally and Merle smiled at him from where they stood, manning the teleportation controls. They preferred to avoid teleporting, something Angie and Lute attributed to them being “old school”. But there wasn’t anywhere the ship could safely land where Stan was headed.

“Are you ready?” Sally asked. Stan swallowed nervously, but nodded. He was wearing the same clothes he’d been in when he was first abducted. After so long in the jumpsuits preferred on the alien planet, jeans felt incredibly weird. “We’ll send you down once Angie’s here.”

“Uh, why?” Stan asked. Merle frowned.

“We’re not sending you down on your own, son. It wouldn’t be polite.”

“…Angie’s coming with me?” Stan said quietly. As if on cue, Angie entered the room, wearing one of the few pieces of Earth clothing they had found that fit her large stature: a yellow sundress patterned with flowers. “You’re coming with?”

“Yep!” Angie walked over to the teleporting pad. She stood next to him, smiling. “I want to see your planet!”

“But, uh, you’re gonna stick out like a sore thumb.”

“I love that expression,” Angie said with a giggle. “Humans are so odd with their idioms!”

“He has a point, dear,” Merle said. “You need to disguise yourself before we send you down.”

“All right, all right, just gimme a minute!” Angie said, rolling her eyes. Stan felt a small surge of pride.

I taught her how to be ornery like that. Then, before his astonished eyes, Angie began to shrink. Her magenta hair changed to a caramel-color, albeit with some pink streaks, and her cobalt skin lightened into a hue close to Stan’s. Angie looked at him. Only one of her eyes was silver now. The other was a soft blue. Stan’s jaw dropped.

“Have you always been able to do that?” he demanded. Angie giggled again. “You’ve been able to do that this whole time?!”

“Our species has limited shapeshifting abilities,” Merle explained. “Angie’s human disguise is superior to most members of our race, however, because she is a quarter human.”

“Why didn’t you guys tell me before?” Stan asked. Angie shrugged.

“It never came up.”

“I can’t believe this,” Stan muttered. He shook his head. “Well, it’ll make it easier to blend in. Even though you’re still way taller than average.” Angie’s height, a few inches shy of seven feet, had been reduced to roughly six feet.

“Yeah, we can’t change our size very much.” Angie beamed at him. “Ready?” Stan took a steadying breath.

“As ready as I’ll ever be.”

-----

The teleporter placed Stan and Angie in an alleyway Stan knew well. He looked to his left. Sure enough, the fire escape was still broken.

The excuse they used to get out of fixing it was that it would make it easier for me to sneak out. Guess that was bullshit. Some part of him yearned to grab the familiar rusty metal and pull himself up like he used to. No. That’s not what I’m here for.

“Well?” Angie asked. Stan looked at her. “Do you think you’re tethered?”

Right. That’s what we’re here for. The alien family was willing to let him stay with them, but on the one condition that they check whether he was “tethered” to Earth. According to them, some species struggled leaving their home planet, and they didn’t want to harm him by keeping him in a different solar system.

“How will I know if I’m tethered?” Stan asked. Angie frowned.

“Your vitals will get better, for one thing. For another, you’ll just feel more at peace and complete.” Her mismatched eyes searched his face. “So?”

“I mean. I sorta feel the same,” Stan mumbled. Angie nodded slowly. “Does that mean we’re good?”

“My mom said that tethering can take up to ten minutes to manifest properly. We won’t know for sure if humans are an untethered species until then.”

“Okay…” Stan stuffed his hands into the pockets of his jeans. His fingers brushed up against his old lighter.

Man, I haven’t had a smoke since I ran outta my last pack almost a year ago.

“You’ve told me a lot about Earth beaches,” Angie started timidly.

“You wanna see the beach?”

“Yes!”

“Sure, I’ll show you the beach.” Stan kissed her cheek. “I like taking pretty girls for walks on beaches.” Angie smiled sweetly. “Follow me.” Stan exited the alley and began to walk down the street. He and Angie had only managed a few steps before there was a loud crash from the building they were walking past. Stan sighed heavily.

Dammit. She’s the one working the counter, isn’t she? He reluctantly turned his head. Looking like she’d seen a ghost, his mother stared at him through the Pines Pawns storefront. Stan came to a stop and sighed again.

“Something wrong?” Angie asked.

“No, just- I gotta do something,” Stan said. “I’m gonna go in this store. I’ll be right back.”

“Oh. Okay.”

“If anyone tries to mess with you, do this,” Stan said, flipping the bird. Angie nodded slowly. “If they keep messing with you after you do that, go ahead and kick their ass.” Angie flipped the bird back at Stan.

“This is a diplomatic gesture, then?” she asked.

“In New Jersey? Yeah. But don’t do it unless someone messes with you. Okay?”

“Got it.” Angie smiled. Stan frowned. “What?”

“It’s weird seeing you with regular human teeth,” Stan said. Angie laughed. “All right. Try not to attract too much attention.”

“I’ll do my best,” Angie said. Stan shot another smile in her direction and entered the store. The bell over the door ringed, a sound that immediately flashed him back to the thousands of times he’d heard it before.

“Hey, Mom,” Stan managed weakly. Ma Pines continued to stare at him silently. He walked up to the counter. “So, uh, I-”

“Where have you been?!” Ma Pines demanded, grabbing his shirt and pulling him close. Stan looked out the storefront window. Angie was engrossed in a pigeon eating a piece of pizza.

Good. Don’t want her to see any of this conversation.

“…Places,” Stan said vaguely.

“It was like you disappeared off the face of the Earth!”

“I mean, sorta,” Stan mumbled. His mom released her hold on his shirt. She searched his face, then scanned his body.

“I see you haven’t lost any weight.”

“Uh. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?”

“A good thing. Clearly, you’re getting food from somewhere.”

“Yeah. The family I’ve been staying with are asking me all the time if I need more to eat.”

“You’ve been staying with a different family?” Ma Pines whispered. Stan scowled at her.

“I was kicked outta the house at seventeen, Mom. It’s not like I had any other options lined up.”

“You could have come back-”

“I couldn’t have, and you know that,” Stan said firmly. Ma Pines sighed softly but nodded. “Anyways, I’m not- I’m in town today for a few hours, but after that, I’m not coming back. You- you might not ever see me again.”

“What?!” Ma Pines slammed her hands on the counter, glaring at Stan. “You can’t just expect me to accept my baby walkin’ out like that!”

“You were fine with Pops kicking your ‘baby’ out!” Stan snapped back. He shook his head. “Stop acting like there are a billion alternatives. There aren’t. Either I stay or I leave. And you know why I can’t stay.”

“Yes. I- I suppose I do.” Ma Pines looked down at the counter. “But you’ll really never come back?”

“Probably not.”

“Why not?”

“There isn’t anything for me here.”

“I don’t qualify?”

“You and Pops are kinda a package deal.”

“Shermie?”

“He’s overseas more often than not.”

“Stanford?”

“Does he still hate my guts?” Stan asked. Her silence was answer enough. “Mom, there’s nothing here for me except bad memories. I have to go. And I won’t be back.”

“The family you’re living with…they take good care of you?” Ma Pines asked.

“Oh yeah. They’re, uh, foreigners, so they’re always worried about making sure I’m doing all right. They’re not familiar with our culture or whatever.”

“No, that makes sense.”

“You don’t have to worry, Mom. I’m gonna be fine.”

“I’m your mother. I’ll always worry,” Ma Pines said roughly. She discretely wiped away a tear from her eye. She then turned her head to look out the storefront window. “The young lady outside…”

“What about her?”

“Is she part of the family you’re staying with?”

“Yeah.”

“She wouldn’t happen to be your girlfriend, too, would she?” Ma Pines asked, watching Angie. Angie was still observing the pigeon intently.

“…Yes. She is.”

“Is it serious?”

“I don’t wanna talk about this.”

“That’s a yes, then. Is she Jewish?”

“Mom!”

“All right, I’ll drop it.” Ma Pines sighed. “A cute dress like that deserves a necklace. Silver or gold?”

“Huh?”

“For your girlfriend,” Ma Pines said impatiently. “A silver or gold necklace?”

“Uh, silver? But I don’t have any cash on me.”

I’ve got alien bucks, but Pops doesn’t like taking checks. No way he’d accept money from a different solar system.

“Oh, please,” Ma Pines scoffed. She walked over to the jewelry case and removed a delicate looking silver necklace with a moon charm on it. “Even psychics misplace things sometimes.”

“Mom…” Stan started. Ma Pines walked back to the counter.

“Just promise me you’ll be the good boy I know you are. Don’t fight with your host family or your girlfriend unless they deserve to be fought.” She held out the necklace.

“I can’t take this.”

“I insist,” Ma Pines said. “Either you take it or I march out there and give it to your girlfriend myself.”

“Fine.” Stan took the necklace from his mom.

“Pretty girls deserve pretty things.”

“I know, I know. You’ve told me that a thousand times.”

“Sure, sue me for telling you one more time before you leave forever.” Ma Pines leaned over the counter to kiss Stan’s forehead. “Take care of yourself, Stanley Danley.”

“I always do.”

“Good boy.” Ma Pines sighed heavily. She looked away, but not quickly enough to hide the tears in her eyes. “Now, get outta here before I lock the door and make you stay.”

“Okay.” Stan walked back to the door. He paused. “I- I love you, mom.”

“I love you, too, sweetie,” Ma Pines said, her voice choked up. Stan left the store, the familiar bell ringing again. Angie looked over at him.

“Did you get what you were looking for?” she asked.

“Yeah. I did.” Stan walked up to her. He held out the necklace. “This is for you.”

“I thought you didn’t have any Earth money left.”

“I found some,” Stan lied. Angie hesitantly took the necklace from him. “It matches your eyes. Well, it matches your eyes when they’re normal.” Angie giggled. She put on the necklace, every movement careful, like she was worried she’d break it.

“How’s it look?” she asked.

Dammit, Mom was right. The necklace completes the outfit.

“It looks great, babe. C’mon, let’s head out for the beach.”

“Ooh, yes!”

They crossed the street. Before they could leave the block, however, a taxi pulled in front of the pawn shop. Stan paused. He watched Ford exit the taxi and enter the store. Through the storefront window, he could see his mom leave her spot behind the counter to wrap Ford in a tight embrace.

“Oh, the ten minutes are up,” Angie said, checking the small device she kept around her wrist like a watch. “We should know for sure whether you’re tethered or not. So…are you?”

“I still don’t know how to tell,” Stan muttered.

“Is there anything drawing you to this planet? Any sort of connection?” Angie pressed. Stan watched his mom and twin brother disappear behind a door, presumably to go to the apartment upstairs. The apartment he’d been raised in. He took a deep breath, then let it out.

“No. Nothing’s keeping me here,” Stan said. Angie clapped her hands in excitement.

“Oh, excellent! You can stay with us permanently then! I’ll tell my parents the good news.”

“Ah ah, not so fast,” Stan said. “When you tell them, they’ll want to teleport us back. And we’ve still got a beach to see.”

“Oh no, I almost forgot! Yes, please take me to the beach!”

“You got it, babe.” Stan took ahold of Angie’s hand, intertwining his fingers with hers. They walked down the street. Angie rambled about the pigeon she’d been watching, but Stan couldn’t stop his mind from wandering.

The plan had always been to tell the alien family that he didn’t have any connection to Earth.

Stan just didn’t expect that to be the truth.

YAS, SHIPPING GOING ON. YES YES YES. 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

yeah zeroooooooo sympathy for you pinky. i didn’t think anyone could be a worse parent than TEJ in this house, but my god, tej never fucked with his kids to this extent. (y’know, barring that time where he tried to set their mom on fire in the living room. 😕😕😕)

don’t fuck with bhaabi. 😠😠😠

what is with everyone’s reaction to shivaay proclaiming khanna as his?

i think, i thinkkkkkkkkkkkkkk khanna’s character is canonically gay. this is the second time they’re insinuating it in the show; the first being when rudra was in handcuffs and shivKara say it’s good khanna wasn’t the one who found him.

stupid homophobic jokes. fuck you, writers. 😡😡😡

OH HO SHIVAAY STOP MAKING IT WEIRD AND TIPPING THEM OFF 😑😑😑

HE WANTS RATATOUILLE AND ASPARAGUS AND WHAT NOT. AND OF COURSE HE’S BEING A PRETENTIOUS SHIT ABOUT IT AND WANTS IT VEGAN. 🙄🙄🙄

literally do not care about this svetlana plot anymore. show me my roadtrip babies. 😒😒
