Maniac (Fanfic)

Pinocchio is in his room writing down a few things in a notebook, this is something important, and had to think about hard how he is going to do it but unfortunately, his concentration is broken.

“Pinocchio, Pinocchio please let us out” A voice came from inside the black box, it was Carlo.

“Yes we promise we aren’t mad at Geppetto anymore, please just let us out” Now Romeo was the one speaking.

“No,” Pinocchio said bluntly, “I know you guys are lying”

“We aren’t lying” Carlo was begging him, it was already hard being inside when he was alone, it was worse now that Romeo was stuck with him, “Come on we are brothers right? We can do fun stuff as brothers if you let us out”

“Mmmm” Pinocchio was thinking about it, he would like to spend some proper time with his brother.

“I can be like your brother too Pinocchio, we can do so many fun things together” Romeo was also desperate to get out.

“When the two of you stop being mad, we can do stuff together” Pinocchio knows that if he lets them out now they will yell at his father or worse and he can’t let anyone be mean to his father.

Romeo took a deep breath, “We are not mad-“

“LET US OUT RIGHT NOW YOU FUCKING PSYCHO” Carlo was so done with this, he started banging the box with force again trying to break it.

Pinocchio let Carlo bang the box and curse at him until he got tired, ignoring him while he continued to write in his notebook.

“Great job Carlo”

“Oh shut up Romeo”

They almost had him but Carlo had to scream at him, it’s not like they are specifically mad at him, at least he had good intentions when he shoved Romeo inside, they are more mad at Geppetto than anything but being inside here it’s a nightmare.

“What are you writing?” Carlo wanted to distract himself and he could hear from the box that his brother was writing something and that’s great because he was sick of hearing Pinocchio do his little experiments.

“My plan to make everything better”

——📘——

Step 1: Collect a TON of Ergo, killing is fun that’s easy. /)/) ( . .) ( づ✄

Step 2: Have father make two P organs ♡⚙︎♡ for my brother and Romeo, and give the spare Ergo to them.

(Why didn't father think about that before?)

Step 3: Find a BETTER cure for Lady Antonia (She can’t die (◞‸◟ㆀ) )

-Giangio is acting weird maybe he needs persuasion to make the cure better.

Step 4: Beat Simon (Father will call me a good boy (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ)

Step 5: Fix father

After that, we can be a happy family!!

Yay ૮ ˶′ﻌ ‵˶ ა

——📘——

At least Carlo and Romeo can’t deny that they are grateful that Pinocchio is planning on helping them.

“We can help you Pinocchio, we are good at fighting we can help you collect all that Ergo” Carlo said.

“But I like killing I don’t to share it” Pinocchio stood up and attached Gemini to his belt, who had been hearing the entire conversation but knew better than to talk with Pinocchio when he is scheming in his room.

“I’ll be back, I promise everything is going to work out just fine” Pinocchio was patting with care the top of the box trying to show affection, and for a second Pinocchio again almost thought about opening the box.

“OPEN THIS DAMN BOX RIGHT NOW!” Romeo yells this time, one moment he is fighting who he thinks is Carlo, and then he passes out. The next he was forcefully shoved inside here. His limbs feel so numb and he can’t imagine how Carlo’s body feels since he has been here for longer.

Pinocchio patted the box again, “I’m gonna miss the two of you while I’m gone” He won’t be gone for long but he loves spending time with them.

With that said, Pinocchio left his room, leaving the two of them alone.

“Great job Romeo”

“Shut up Carlo”

“Do you know how annoying it is that you are on top of me?”

“Last time it wasn’t annoying~”

“Not now you moron”

Maybe they should start talking about old memories to pass the time because they are going to be stuck here for a while.

——

Pinocchio was at the Barren Swamp, killing as many carcasses and puppets as he could. But he decided to take a small break to talk to his friend.

“Hello my only friend” The broken puppet was looking at him, he was happy, Pinocchio taught him how to be happy, “Have you come to teach me something?“

Pinocchio nodded enthusiastically, he wanted to show his friend something very special. So he lured in one of the carcasses that were in the swamp and shoved it inside the water, then he proceeded to use his legion arm to electrify it, the voltage was extremely high, and the carcass was twitching in pain and screaming even worse than usual, moving its body in all directions trying to desperately escape the pain, but it was unable to, the shook making it too confused, too in pain to even try to save itself.

“That is called agony” Pinocchio had a grin on his face, he loved teaching his friend new things.

“Agony is something bad… but I am thankful that you taught me this lesson” The broken puppet is smiling on the inside as he is unable to on the outside, being thankful, that’s also something Pinocchio taught him about. Sometimes he teaches him strange things like this, but all learning is good learning!

Pinocchio was so happy about his new friend, each day he met new faces, and things became even better. Maybe his father can fix his new friend but for now, he has to continue his mission.

He keeps collecting the Ergo, it’s a little strange how all of these puppets and creatures seem to be endless, it’s almost as if they re-appear each time he touches a stargazer, but the more Ergo he gets, the better it will be for his brother and Romeo.

Although Pinocchio starts getting tired of collecting Ergo at the swamp, the terrain is awful and he is all dirty now. But that last part is good, his father could give him a nice relaxing bath. But that little break will have to wait, in the meantime he decides to go back to Elysion Boulevard and collect more Ergo there.

—-

“Thanks Pal”

Pinocchio found a toy store in Elysion Boulevard and went inside, he found miniature doll sets and started grabbing what he could find for Gemini, he is his best first after all, and deserves only the best.

“Do you want this house? You can have it in my room and you can live there”

Gemini can get outside of his cage as he is a little cricket puppet not just a lamp that talks and he would love to have a home, it can be a little boring to be in his cage all the time.

“Maybe you should take another break pal, we have been here for hours” Gemini wonders how Pinocchio isn’t exhausted from destroying all those puppets for that many hours straight.

“But I need more Ergo” In truth, Pinocchio doesn’t know how much Ergo he needs but it must be a ridiculously high amount. Although he already can’t count the number of Ergo he currently has, but he should listen to Gemini and take a break.

He sits down on a chair of what was once a restaurant, setting Gemini on the table who comes outside of his cage. Gemini has had a lot of mixed feelings lately, Pinocchio is a good boy just as everyone says, and he is going above and beyond to help the ones he cares for.

On the other hand, he has become even more sadistic lately.

When he defeated that clown puppet the boy decided to crucify it in front of the Opera House; back at the grand exhibition he trapped a bunch of puppets in a room, threw gasoline at them, and lit them on fire; and the cathedral is now filled with carcasses hanging from the roof.

As usual, he barely listens to him, Pinocchio only listens to his father who has told him to stop doing a few things and Pinocchio has stopped because his father said so. But Geppetto isn’t restricting him in everything he does, Gemini wonders if Geppetto is scared because Pinocchio knows his secret. He won’t tell anyone what Geppetto did, he knows that Pinocchio cares too much about his father and he doesn’t want to upset him.

Pinocchio extends his hand to Gemini and begins to gently pat his little head. He looks so tired like he is about to pass out at any moment. Counting the time spent at the swamp and the time spent here it has been out for more than 12 hours.

“Go and get some rest Pinocchio” Gemini was worried about him, his eye color changed and he began to glow a tone of light blue, indicating how he was feeling.

Pinocchio was too tired to run back to the stargazer so he grabbed Sophia’s pocket watch and decided to activate it instead.

—-

Once inside Hotel Krat, it was extremely late, everyone was already asleep but Geppetto, who had been waiting for his son.

Geppetto gave his son a warm bath, then his son took him to his room.

“Yes that should work perfectly” Why didn’t Geppetto think about that? Just making more P organs? Geppetto played with his son’s hair, “You are so smart son”

Now he doesn’t need to remove Pinocchio’s heart at all, this will work even better.

Pinocchio yawned, he was so exhausted and he was already in his pajamas, Geppetto was about to leave so that his son could sleep but Pinocchio grabbed his hand a little too forcefully.

“Sleep here with us, pretty pleaseeee”

Us. Geppetto could tell that Carlo and Romeo were already asleep since he could hear faint snoring noises coming from inside the box. Gemini was already asleep inside his new home. Geppetto didn’t see how that was a bad idea so he changed clothes and laid in bed next to his son.

As soon as Geppetto was in bed Pinocchio hugged him with force.

“I would have given you my heart” Pinocchio whispers directly into his father’s ear.

Geppetto feels shivers going down his spine.

“Anything for you Father” Pinocchio is snuggling closer to him, “I love you so much”

“I love you too son” he isn’t lying, even if he is a little afraid of him sometimes.

——

The next day early in the morning, Pinocchio was in Venigni works, he had asked Venigni and his father about the layout of the place and how certain machines worked, they thought that he was asking out of curiosity.

But it was more than that.

Pinocchio was pressing buttons from a panel left and right and after inserting a key in the device and turning it, the sound of heavy machinery began to resonate all over the factory.

“Gemini behold” Pinocchio had a twisted grin on his face as he pulled a leaver, the last thing he needed, now the machine was ready.

The manufacturing line began to run, new simple puppets were being made, the ones without features that can already be found inside the factory, although because the machine was in full force most were having issues like missing a limb here and there but the design didn’t matter, what mattered is that all puppets hold Ergo inside of them. Instead of those puppets being released to attack like Fueoco was doing, the assembly line was taking them somewhere else, directly into the Factory’s furnace. Being made only to be destroyed.

Pinocchio sat down on the edge of a platform, waving his feet in the air, he was so delighted that his idea had worked. He watched as the puppets were burned alive and the Ergo floated into the air, directly into his heart.

“That’s… really clever buddy” Gemini saw as the puppets were melting inside that furnace, the room was hot but at least they were high enough that the heat wouldn’t affect them.

“I’m so smart like my father” Pinocchio was so proud of himself, maybe when this is all over he can work here with his father.

Sure, eventually the factory will run out of Ergo for the puppets but Mr. Venigni said that they had enough Ergo supply of at least 5 years and Pinocchio is super positive that he won’t need to wait that long to collect the remaining Ergo he needs. ——

The two P organs were being made, Pinocchio managed to collect that ridiculous amount of Ergo all in a day and even had enough to spare.

Pinocchio can tell others at Hotel Krat are a little suspicious of him and his father’s activities but they don’t question the things he does anymore.

Right now he is in the Hotel Garden, testing some of his new fun ideas. He grabbed a few chemicals from when he was at the factory and was seeing their effects, writing down a few things in his notebook knowing what worked best, and by worked best he means what causes the most pain. Pinocchio tends to grab random puppets or carcasses from outside and bring them in to test his theories, the others have told him it’s dangerous and to not do that but he has everything under control and his father hasn’t told him he can’t do it so that mean he is allowed to.

Everyone but Geppetto was watching from afar at what the boy was doing and needless to say they were not happy about it.

“I don’t know how he got that sulfuric acid, it was supposed to be locked away” Venigni knows that Pinocchio must have ignored all the warning labels and broken the lock of the place that held them.

“You really believe a lock was going to stop him?” Eugénie said as she watched Pinocchio throw the acid at a carcass. “At the very least he is wearing proper protection”

Pinocchio was wearing special gloves, a face mask, and face goggles to prevent the chemicals from affecting him. But it looks like he wasn’t being too careful because they saw him grabbing a bottle of bleach.

For the first time, Venigni physically stopped him from doing something, running to grab Pinocchio’s hand.

“Stop it!”

“Mmm, what did I do?” Pinocchio genuinely didn’t understand what he was doing wrong so Venigni had to explain how mixing those chemicals will make a toxic gas.

Pinocchio was quiet for a few seconds processing what he was hearing.

“So that means that if I throw it at-“

“No, no, no!” Venigni had never reprimanded Pinocchio like this before but this was something he couldn't ignore, “That’s bad, don’t do it”

He was at his limit, he loved Pinocchio, and he sees him as family despite the short time they had spent together but this was too much.

Pinocchio could tell that his uncle Venigni was in distress about what he was doing, so he should stop. He hugs his uncle and apologizes to him for upsetting him.

Venigni smiles, he did it, he finally managed for Pinocchio to listen to him, but his small victory is short-lived as he feels Pinocchio dig his fingernails into him, hugging him with even more force.

“I have better ways to make them suffer”

Pinocchio turned to kill the last remaining carcass he had brought, stabbing it over and over with an axe, Pinocchio was dirty again from that disgusting liquid those things produced; he gave Venigni a warm smile and got closer to him again, tip-toeing so he can be at as level as he patted his head, Venigni getting stained as well.

The boy started humming as he made his way to the stargazer, ready to go outside again.

His plan and his fun were just starting after all.

For the character asks-

Literally anything about bansai? He's my favorite gintama character =]

Yay finally someone asked!!

Sexuality Headcanon: Shinsuke-sexual AHEM. He's definitely mlm to me and... I think he could be bi? I also like the idea that he's ace

Gender Headcanon: a cis guy open to crossdressing

A ship I have with said character: Bantaka my lifeblood. Romantic or queerplatonic, Bansai and Shinsuke just make the best life partners to me, having kept each other company for ten years and built something (kiheitai 2.0) together between them. They'd indulge in your good o' fashioned sappy romance tropes, like running away together and dying for each other a la Romeo and Juliet, whether they're 17 or 70. In my version of happy ending for them, I think eventually they'd put their arms away, settle down and attempt to live a peaceful life in Edo/Tokyo.

A BROTP I have with said character: with Matako or Shinpachi! I'd love to see more of Matako being the one to question Shinsuke's methods while Bansai being like "but it's Shinsuke. I love him and I trust him unconditionally" like the way they are in odds or evens.

Shinpachi would be so thrilled by the eventual Tsunpo reveal and he would ask Bansai to sign every last piece of Otsuu paraphernalia he owns

A NOTP I have with said character: I don't ship BanMata.

A random headcanon: Bansai being autistic and his headphones and shades being accommodations Shinsuke helped him acquired is a hill I would die on. I also headcanon that during his time as a hitokiri, he would help out joui patriots and their families as much as he could by going after corrupt bakufu officials and landlords who terrorized and persecuted them.

General Opinion over said character: He's so underrated. Why are there so little art of him. Why did they waste his potential. Seriously, this guy gets deliberately written out of action all the time. And all this implication that he's a mysterious character with major things about him that remains untold got slam dunked into the wastebin after sorachi killed him for no good reason.

(would really love to see bansai have fun with the rest of joui 4. shinsuke gets jealous, but he can't stay green anymore after they invited him as well)

#gintama #kawakami bansai #bantaka #ask game #hungry for more asks!! would love to talk abt shinsuke and zura #asks

I watched First Kill ep. 2 some days ago and wrote the reactions in the notes app, so there won't be posting spam

Omg, there's another white blonde girl possibly dead! And one more mysterious woman looking smug, she looks way too old to be a teenager. Something is going on!!

Also, yeah, Noah looks fruity. I think he does like the best friend character (Ben?).

Juliette didn't puncture Calliope's skin, omg :( she wasn't gonna kill her! Don't ya feel bad now, Callie?

Awww, Shambler is adorable. The effects look cheap, but it's adorable because of that.

Juliette is awake! Yay! These kids are bad at what they do, haha. But now Juliette's family thinks she's killed someone. And now she's gonna get to some ritual of adulthood. And I now guess she needs to really kill someone til Sunday.

Apollo is a little whiny baby. Say you're sorry, and don't stirr shit up! Also, apparently there's something different about Juliette! She didn't turn to ash. Maybe possibly because she hasn't had her first kill yet, and hasn't went through the ritual of adulthood. Tbh if not drinking blood gives you immortality, I'm in!

Calliope's mom is asking her what she did. And now sshe knows they were kissiiiiing, which is awkwaaaaard.

Speaking of awkward, imagine meeting after attempting to murder each other. Also, boy! Someone died, don't start talking about kissing!

Skipping to the dad and daughter talk. I like the dialogue. Now I know that Eleanor had a twin, Oliver. He was bad. He's not here now, I assume he's dead and killed by his own parents, and Dad is scared Juliette is gonna be like him. Eleanor isn't as bad as Oliver, but she's still... Unhinged. Mom is true vampire, and Dad is turned, and Mom doesn't have much compassion. Also it's fun to see two characters with different worldviews interact. Like, I mean Dad thinks J killed the girl from the beginning, while J doesn't know how the girl died.

Also, oho! Eleanor can feed on people without killing them!

Skipping to the scene on the roof. "Back off!" Girl, you followed her! I just want to talk, my ass. Bitch, you're annoying.

Also, I called it! The bratty Broski meets with the bratty Sistah.

Oh! Moms meet! Dangerous.

... Debutante ball, lol. When are you living, Vampire Mom?

Vampire Mom wants to eat Hunter Mom. Why else call them to the den of bloodthirsty monsters.

And Hunter Mom wants to kill Vampire Mom! A perfect Romeo and Juliet retelling!

hi baby congratulations on 300!!!🥳 i’m so glad to be here ! 💗🤍💗🤍✨⭐️

you know i’m obsessed w ur fics so, i am gently begging you to write something w prompts “can i paint your nails” “i’m going to steal this from you” and “people don’t compliment you enough” (sorry i forgot the numbers :( ) pleeeease? 🥺🥺

(sorry if it’s too much) thanks, i love u <3

It’s a Love Story

Summary: It’s senior skip day and you’re determined to pull your best friend of 10 years (and secret crush) out of his comfort zone.

Pairing: High School Spencer Reid x Fem!Reader (but imagine Spencer is 18 so he is the normal high school senior age)

Content/Warnings: fluff, swearing, bullying

Word Count: 1.9k

A/N: this fic is very self-indulgent because my senior skip day was yesterday! :)

Masterlist

“Hey, Spence! Wait up,” you jogged down the hall to catch up with him.

“Hey, Y/N. How’d your math test go?” Spencer asked.

“I’d rather not talk about it,” you groaned, “Thank you for trying to tutor me last night but I think I’m a lost cause at this point. It’s too late in the school year to care.”

“Did you know that ‘senioritis’ can actually be categorized as situational depression? In 2009, 22% of colleges decided to revoke some admissions offers after students began to slack off at the end of their senior year,” Spencer stated.

“Oh, trust me, genius, I may not be as smart as you but I’m not dumb enough to lose my scholarship to UCLA. I did the math out and even if I completely bombed this unit test, I can still maintain my A average,” you replied.

“I never said you weren’t smart, I was just warning you. I don’t want you to lose your spot at your dream school,” Spencer explained, “People don’t compliment you enough for all the hard work you put in to get accepted there.”

“Well, thanks for looking out for me, Spence,” you smiled, taking a seat in the back corner of the classroom.

Spencer sat right in front of you and turned around in his seat, “Do you have any homework?”

“Nope. My study hall is wide open just as expected. The teachers are losing just as much steam as the students,” you grinned, unzipping your backpack and pulling out nail polish.

“Can I paint your nails?” you asked.

“Y/N, don’t you think I get made fun of enough?” he whispered back.

“Girls love when guys paint their nails and if any guys try to give you shit, I’ll personally kick their ass. I took a self-defense course but I’ll use those moves I learned however I see fit,” you said.

“Fine,” Spencer relented, extending his hand out to you.

Spencer was honestly sold once you said that girls love it. That must include you, right?

“It’s purple too. Your favorite color,” you smiled, shaking the bottle up and then beginning to paint his nails.

Spencer thought it was cute that you picked up on his habit of sticking your tongue out of the corner of your mouth when you were concentrating.

“Isn’t it pretty?” you beamed as you worked on the second coat of polish.

“Yeah,” Spencer replied, not looking at his nails but the girl directly in front of him.

You gently blew air on his nails to dry them, “All done!”

“Well, well, well if it isn’t the teacher’s pet?” Brad, the captain of the football team, smirked as Spencer passed through the hallways after his math team practice ended.

“Wow, nail polish? And to think you couldn’t become any more of a loser?” he sneered as the jocks began to encircle around Spencer.

“Spence, there you are! I’ve been looking for you all over. Let’s go, we’re going to be late,” you walked right into the crowd of boys, paying no mind to them and grabbing Spencer’s hand, pulling him towards the exit.

“Don’t look back,” you whispered.

“You know one day your little girlfriend there is going to realize what a pathetic nerd you are. I’ll be ready to show her what a real man is,” Brad called after you.

“Oh yes, Brad, a real man goes to community college to hang on to the scraps of his mediocre football career that is his only reminder of when he peaked in high school,” you laughed.

“Y/N, he’s going to kill me for that,” Spencer groaned after you exited the building.

“Relax, we have three days left and then we won’t ever have to see that dick again,” you assured him.

“We have four days left,” Spencer corrected you.

“No, three because we’re not going in tomorrow,” you walked into the diner and took your seat in your usual booth, “It’s senior skip day.”

When Spencer didn’t respond, you looked up from your menu, “Spencer Reid, please do not tell me you were going to go in on senior skip day.”

“Why would I want to miss school?”

“Because you already know everything they could possibly teach you and you can spend the whole day with your best friend instead?” you fluttered your eyelashes to persuade him.

“I don’t want to go to the beach with all the popular kids. I’ll get shoved in the sand,” Spencer grabbed some of the fries that the waitress dropped off for you and popped them into his mouth.

“That is why we are going all the way to Santa Monica. We’ll just get up a little earlier and drive a little further but then we won’t run into anyone from our school,” you proposed.

“Fine but you’re driving,” Spencer huffed.

“Well, I’m certainly not letting the guy drive who hasn’t driven since he got his license just to prove he could pass,” you giggled.

“Why do I need to drive when my next-door neighbor can be my personal chauffeur?” he grinned.

“Yeah, yeah, I’ll pick you up at 7 on the dot tomorrow.”

You honked outside of Spencer’s house. He came scrambling out with a big canvas tote bag, a tan sweater, and lilac swim shorts that ended at his mid-thigh.

“Get in, loser. We’re going to the beach,” you rolled down the window.

Spencer furrowed his brow for a second before opening the door.

“It’s just a reference to a popular movie. I wasn’t actually calling you a loser,” you assured him.

“My mom made us blueberry muffins for the ride,” Spencer pulled a ziploc bag out of the tote.

“Oh that is so sweet of her! Please tell her I said thank you. She must have been having a good night then,” you smiled, accepting one of the muffins from Spencer.

“Yes, she has been having a good week overall,” Spencer affirmed.

“That’s so great to hear. Okay, we’re stopping for coffee but then we’ll get on the highway.”

The opening notes of Love Story by Taylor Swift began to play on the radio.

“Oh my god! Turn it up!” you screamed.

Spencer grinned and turned the volume knob up.

“Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone. I'll be waiting, all there's left to do is run. You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess. It's a love story, baby, just say ‘yes’,” you sang.

You rolled down the windows as soon as you exited off the highway.

“Do you smell that, Spence?” you inhaled deeply, “Something about the salty air and sunshine just makes me feel alive.”

“You know it’s probably your increased exposure to the sunlight leading to an increase in vitamin D which can keep your energy levels up and enhance your mood,” Spencer stated.

“Well, whatever it is, I still love it,” you grinned.

You and Spencer made your way along the sandy coast. You parked in the beach parking lot and got out of the car, grabbing your mini cooler and chair.

Spencer grabbed the other chair and his tote and you headed down to the beach, walking a ways before settling on a spot in a less crowded area.

You took off your big t-shirt revealing your light blue bikini.

“Can we go in the water please?” you begged.

Spencer dug into his tote and tossed you a tube of sunscreen.

“Not until you put that on,” Spencer insisted.

“Fine,” you huffed.

“Sorry I don’t want you to be sunburnt for graduation,” he chuckled.

“Can you do my back?” you asked.

“I-um-yeah-yes I can do that,” Spencer scrambled to stand up from his beach chair.

His breath hitched in his throat as he applied the cool lotion to your back.

“All good,” he cleared his throat.

“Thanks, Spence! Do you need me to do your back or are you all set?” you asked.

“Nope, I’m all good. My mom did it before I left,” Spencer said.

“Can we go in the water now?” you pleaded.

Spencer gave a reluctant nod as you let out an excited squeal, grabbing his hand and pulling him towards the tide.

You dove right into the cool waves, instantly relieving your body of the southern californian summer heat. Spencer was a bit more hesitant.

“It feels so good, Spence. Trust me,” you smoothed your wet hair back.

Spencer inhaled deeply and then sunk beneath the water as a wave passed by him.

“Yay! He’s actually having fun, people!” you cheered as he emerged from underneath the water.

Spencer playfully splashed water at you and you gasped.

“Oh Spencer Reid, you are so on,” you laughed, splashing water right back at him.

Spencer shielded it from his face with his hand and then started chasing after you. You shrieked in a giggle fit as he lifted you up in the water so you could no longer splash him.

“I surrender! I surrender!” you laughed along with him.

You and Spencer were walking on the basically deserted boardwalk by this time of night, licking your ice cream cones.

Spencer noticed you were shivering and pulled off his sweater, handing it to you.

“No, Spence. I can’t, then you’ll be cold,” you said.

“I really don’t mind,” Spencer insisted, wanting to have your scent on his sweater forever.

“Thank you,” you slipped it over your head, “I’m probably going to steal this from you because it’s super comfy.”

A reminder alert buzzed on your phone, “Oh shit. We have to sign up for tickets to go to prom by midnight,” you spoke.

Spencer shot you a guilty look.

“You’re not going?” you sighed defeatedly, trying your hardest not to tear up.

“Y/N, I don’t dance. I’ll make a fool of myself.”

“And I’ll be right by your side making a fool of myself too,” you urged, “Spence, it’s going to be no fun without you. I was going to ask you to officially be my date, you know? I had this whole complicated equation that I was going to have you solve and graph and the line spelled out ‘Prom?’. It’s stupid thinking back on it now, I won’t make you go.”

“I was going to ask you,” Spencer smiled softly, “but then I chickened out.”

“How about this? You give me one dance right now and then we’ll decide if we’re going or not,” you opened your phone and started playing Dancing by Mellow Fellow.

Spencer extended his hand and you accepted as he wrapped his other arm around your waist. You waltzed around the boardwalk in perfect sync as the neon lights from food stands and rides were shining down on you.

Spencer twirled you around and caught you in a dip. You let out a shaky exhale as you both stared into each other’s eyes.

“Can I kiss you?” he whispered.

“Please do. I’ve only been waiting 10 years for it since I moved in next door,” you smiled softly.

Spencer leaned down further and connected your lips. You pulled him even closer with your hands cupping his cheeks.

“I’ll go to prom with you under one condition,” he grinned, pulling away, “we go as boyfriend and girlfriend.”

“Absolutely,” you beamed and stood on your tippy-toes to give him another kiss that was long overdue.

Hello, I hope u're doing well!! For the drabble promt, 55 with Dazai, please <33

I'm doing good thx bb I like this prompt sm for dazai yay

Bad Day

Dazai had been feeling off all day long, not seeing you at work was the first to set him off, but aside from that everything just seemed a bit strange.

The two of you had been in a fight last night, because after two years of sleeping with only eachother, going out to dinners with only eachother, and caring so deeply about only eachother, dazai still had the idea that you were just friends. Just coworkers.

You thought he was joking at first but he truly didn't think your relationship was any different after everything you've done. To the point he even brought up how you might as well be sleeping with kunikida and rompo, too. To say you were baffled would be an understatement.

You both slept alone that night, but you knew everything would be okay, after all, you had a cute little dazai inside you and your spirit couldn't be crushed from a dumb fight. However dazai stayed up all night. He was terrified because yes, he never established your relationship, but he loved it how it was. He didn't want it to end. Ever.

If you left him, he wasn't sure who he'd be. Knowing that before he met you, everything he did had no purpose, it was just for the sake of it, but ever since the first case you worked together, he knew that he was doing everything for you.

It's not a healthy way to live, he knows that, but how can he help it when you have litterally jumped off of bridges together. You were just his perfect kinda crazy, and he fucking loved you.

"Hey Dazai, do you know where y/n is? I was supposed to give this to her..." atsushi speaks in a quiet voice, as if the package he holds is a secret.

"No. Why would I know where y/n is, she doesn't belong to me." He sasses, but he says it like he truly wished you did belong to him.

"Well because you're her boyfri-"

"Does everyone think that!" He screams, attracting the attention of everyone in the room. He has to take a few breaths before noticing a paper a top the box in atsushi's hands. Something messily scribbled on it , but it's not any actuall words.

"Hey, atsushi, what that paper?"

The boy looks down to see a series of numbers and letters in no apparent order. It's the paper that made him feel secretive about this package, because it seemed as though somebody was sending coded messages to y/n. He wasn't sure what it said, so if dazai decrypted something...unpreferable, things might go downhill fast.

"Its a code." Rompo interrupts, already having figured out that the box is a gift from your parents. Inside would likely be all of your old baby clothes and a nice letter of congratulations. However, rompo knee you were pregnant because he was the first you told, and he just couldn't help messing with dazai a bit.

"I suppose it could be from one of her contacts back in the port mafia, wasn't there that man she dated, the one with the gravity ability." He spoke seriously, hoping to be convincing enough to get dazai angry.

However despite the fuming rage dazai held inside at the thought of you being in contact with chuuya, he maintained his natural additive on the outside.

"Oh, a rekindled love affair, how scandalous of her. You know if she is still in contact with the port mafia, we might be unable to trust her. ROMPO! DECODE THIS MESSAGE!" He yells, he himself believing that by playing dumb, he could get rompo to solve the whole thing and then go kick chuuua's ass.

Meanwhile, you were wandering the streets looking at all of the corner shops and occasionally buying some small things you might need for the baby.

See when Dazai got home tonight, you had a plan of how to tell him you were pregnant. It was a bit out there, but you thought it was funny.

The living room floor was covered in rose petals and in the center lay two knives. You would tell him that you could commit a Romeo and juliet suicide together but when he asks why there is two knives and the vile of poison, you could tell him it was a triple suicide. Then boom! "We are having a baby!"

You thought it would be funny. It was not.

After rompo lied saying that the massage was a letter about you and chuuya running away together, Dazai rushed home to find you. However he was met with rose petals and knives, you were going to commit suicide without him!?

Even worse, he found that all of the contents of the spare bedroom were dissaray, you were taking apart the furniture and throwing away the blankets, you were gonna leave him!

"Y/n! What are you doing, put the bed back, please just put everything back you don't have to leave. And don't kill yourself without me, I'm so much better than chuiya, I can show you i-"

"Huh?"

You noticed the man now on his knees, throwing a fit and although it was comical, it looked real. His eyes were beginning to water at the thought of life without you and the crazy adventures. He wanted you to be his forever.

"Please baby...I- I want you to be more than a friend and and- commit double suicides with me and have my babies but i- I can't do anything without you please y/n.." He was sobbing, pleading for you, while you were simply trying to move some things around and make room for a nursery.

"Osamu..."

His glossy eyes peered up at you, hands stilling in their prayer motion to hear you out.

"I think we need to talk you about the fact I'm in love with you, and also that I'm pregnant." You muttered, taking a moment to help him up from the floor while his face falls blank.

On the outside it appears he's got nothing going on in his big ol head, but inside he is going through his day to figure out when and where everything got so confusing. He doesn't even acknowledge what you mean by pregnant until you slap him across the face.

"Hey big guy, get excited I'm making dazai's over here." That's when his face comes to life again, eyes a little wider and a goofy smile on his face.

"That means. Another me!" His hands reach out to your tummy holding it delicately to feel the small bump forming.

"And me..." you roll your eyes at him.

"Y/n! Do you know what that means!" He yells, moving to pick you up and spin you around, despite the mess of a room you're in.

"Tripple suicide!!"

"We are gonna be mommy and daddy!"

Your face falls when you realize what he's said, but it warms your heart a bit that he really just wants to be a dad.

Until he kisses your forehead softly and mutters "we might need to work on that crazy head of your while your making my babies in here. Wouldn't want them to come out stupid. "

Saint.

Yn's death scene broke my heart. I'm ngl, I didn't cry bc I'm already used to saint level angst but the fact that she just wanted rin to believe her and the way rin was screaming ugh, it's just so tragic that he finally had a wife who he truly loves and it ends this way 💔 for my peace of mind, I'm imagining them living their best life in heaven and having the happy family that they weren't able to start 😭

And rin was so smart for choosing to torture hera and c'ian instead of killing them, he definitely knew how much it would affect them to witness his death. Also, on that note of c'ian and hera being kept in the dungeon, what has happened to demie? Is she staying with the empress or being looked after by someone else?

Also, when 'samu and the knights kneeled in respect for rin and yn, it's kinda sad that she was finally shown some sort of respect by the people of Faren and she wasn't even alive to witness it. I feel like if she didn't eat the berries and rin saved her, everyone would've been able to see that she's not who they thought she was and would definitely have some respect/love for her 😭

This play was so beautifully written Saint. I really do appreciate you taking the time to write this masterpiece bc I can imagine that writing in that language and in a format that doesn't allow for a lot of description, is difficult. Thank you saint, you broke my heart once again and I love you for it. 😂💘

this is just a 6 on saint level angst sdjsjs and yeah there’s no other way to put it — suna knows that his death would be traumatizing to hera and ci’an. the answer to demie is on a previous ask :)

thank u for reading tho 🥺 it was definitely hard since i’m so used to descriptive writing but i’m happy to know that you liked it <3

Anonymous said

what’s totally crazy about the ending is that if the MC had only held out for like 5 minutes, she and rin could’ve been alive together ☹️. i am happy that they get to be together in the afterlife tho. i think it’s kind of a morbidly funny trend in tragedies that if they had just a tiny bit more streets smarts, most of their problems could’ve been solved in like a week. anywho this was a great story, and i think you deserve all the flowers for writing in such a difficult style, and still being able to convey such intense emotions. you truly are amazing at what you do, and i’m very grateful to be a reader!

omg yea ik what u mean !! HAHA when i read r+j for the first time, i got sooo upset like why can’t they wait just a few more mins dammit 😭 and thank u very much for ur sweet words anon <33 i appreciate it sm :’)

SAINT R U SECRETLY SHAKESPEARE 😭😭 THIS IS PAINFUL I CANNOT. IM VV EXTRA EMOTIONAL BC OF CYCLE SO THIS IS 10X HURTFUL.

It’s so sad it had to end that way but i can’t say that i did not like it bc it’s so amazing yet tragic 😭

Anonymous said

oh my god saint that was so good?? it would be wonderful if it was an actual play! you should really make some of your stories actual books people would love them

WAAAAH thank u!! that makes me happy :’) i’m actually glad i turned this old play of mine into a fanfic. i didn’t think anyone would appreciate but yay <33 when i submitted this for my class before, my professor said we can’t have it on stage bc it was too dark gahahaj

“Keep this image with you forever as I reunite with my true love, far away from the spiteful ladies of this household.”

i read the tags for olal but i thought it was just gonna be yn unaliving herself, but when i came to that line i was shook

was rin able to reunite with yn in the afterlife at least where they’re both finally at peace together

Anonymous said

I was hoping for Hera and c'ian to die but I guess it was too good to be true 😭 but at least now rin and mc can be happy and free in the afterlife

@andreavasquezz said

Romeo and Juliet moment😝😭😰😭😭😭 that was so sad but I know that they will be reincarnated and reunite and live happily ever after.

@evcrgardn said

i hope rin, yn, and their baby are happily together in the afterlife :((

Anonymous said

Me hoping for Suna and yn getting reincarnated in modern world and finally getting the happy ending they deserve😭

AFTERLIFE IT IS :P but u guys,,,, doesnt this remind u of a certain someone from a zombie apocalyptic world *coughs* maybe they’ll reincarnate again since it’s a common manhwa trope 😹

@sunareign said

… why you gotta do that to me ? i thought zunarin was enough? WHY YOU GOTTA BREAK MY HEART A SECOND TIME?

shut up u love angst u know that :p and i never said ur mans won’t die the second time bsjsjds he never gets a happy ending from me 😹

S3 ep4

LEEEEETS GOOO!

Girl Stinky fighting Grandpa for Sal's honor 😍

So many Sams😲

Can the narrator pls shut up

"After they yanked it away they turned their attention on us." "actually I think they were more interested in me."

"Looks like it's time to boil the haggis" I love u Grandpa Stinky

"Need any help?" "No, I've been dreaming of this for years." *Continues to shoot Sam clones*

Skunkape loosing his mind

Oh geez, the dogglegangers kidnapped him

Girl Stinky still denying her obvious relationship with Sal

Oh hey I can make toast... Never mind then 😕

"Ah, I remember when I was a toaster."

Max and Grandpa are having a little too much fun shooting the clones

Why does Stinky have a picture of the DeSoto???

Well, the plan to turn into the DeSoto failed

I really didn't need to read minds to figure out how to get out, but I guess it was a good way to remind players of the tunnel

"Max is so powerful now... Soon he won't even need a partner."

Ew, Grandpa wants to sell clone meat 🤢

Sam struggling to not eat a fudgcicle is super relatable

Oh the tunnel is blocked. Knowing Girl she probably has a backup

I knew it.

"Happiness is a warm gun." "My gun is always warm... and a little bit moist." WHAT

*Gives clone a peanut butter ball* "Ew. It has peanut butter dog mouth. I hate when I do that."

Haha I made Sam eat a peanut butter ball now he's doing that dog lip smack thing

Oh hey, we can take a fudgcicle now. ...Oh, I know what to do!

Presidential Alert: The Stinky's are fighting!

Why does Girl Stinky's tunnel lead to a cloning facility?

The clone Sam approves of Sam's outfit

He stole Sam's hat!!!

"That's strange." yeah, you think!?

"--unholy army of sexually provocative Sam clones" What you just call them Max 👀

Cthulu tenticles!!!

They have spikes

"I'm thinking of a number between--" "Potato!" "That's uncanny."

Sam

"Momma sure does love a nicely turned Sam gam."

This episode is quickly turning into Max repeatedly saying how hot he thinks Sam is 👀

I guess let's explore the tunnels

Ooh the museum

Doctor Norrington? We get to meet him?

Nope :(

When they jumped back into the tunnels Max raised his hands up and Sam picked him up 😭😭😭🥰🥰🥰

Back through the tunnels

The shadow physics are all messed up

Boscotech!

Harry and Superball are trying to contact Momma. Can she not appear anymore?

Queen? Where are you?

"Keep your eyes peeled, Max." "Ugh, that's disgusting, Sam."

"What do you know about these scary--" "But dashing!" "--toy stealing Sam clones." oh max

"So you don't know where Momma Bosco is?" Sam says with a huge sad face

Superball my love

Max smokes Cuban cigars

"Yes sir, quite the coinkydink."

"I'm going to stand over here and try to shake off the memory of you saying balliwick." *,Literally stands in corner shaking his arms side to side* Max. I love you

*Harry insults Sam* *Max jumps to his defence*

"I'm afraid the contents on my mind is classified, sirs."

I'm going to find Sal

The hat thief stole the car!!!

Buster Blaster!!!

"Max." "that's what they call me at the manipedi." The boys get manicurs

I can't get to Sal or Buster Blaster because of the clones :(

Look a buster blaster's future and he's just floating through space shouting "This is totally awesome!"

Back to Stinky's

Flint Paper!!!

Flint's mind is just noir narrative... As it should be

Girl Stinky realized Max has been reading her mind

Sam and Max role-playing as Flint and Girl has me laughing

Girl tied Sam up into her lies

The fact that the boys don't realize who Mr. S is is astonishing

Great I have to find a cake. Back to Sal?

The clone Sam hugging the stuffed Bunny 🥰

Sam was doing the same to Max 😍

Love for legomorphs is stored in the dna

Oh hey I missed Charlie the first time

Max shares the creeped out feelings Charlie gives me. Good

Sal knows how to cook 💖

Sal is an artist 🥰

I love Sal

OMG is there actual blood on the cake

No! Don't eat Max!

Sam got a kiss from Stinky, lucky dog. I can't tell if he's surprised or grossed out 😂

Flint and Max are disgusted by the kiss

Oh to be kissed by Girl Stinky... or Sybil... Or Momma Bosco.

Sal doesn't want to kill. Good man

Girl and Sal are my new otp

Oh no, power het couple are possessed

Ok, I'm going back to boscotech for now to mess with Harry now that I have Charlie

Max really hamming it up

Oh hey, Max actually summoned Momma

Agent Superball just teleported?!

What is going on with him?

Also he has OTHER superiors

Momma are you hiding something?

"mmm-mm-mm, those shorts sure don't leave anything to the imagination, do they?"

Was Max right, does Momma have a thing for Sam?

Lol she was lying.

She seems to feel guilty about selling her cloning machines.

Max don't you dare mention the poppers in front of me!!!

It's pretty obvious it's Papierwaite

I like it when she spins

Oh, are we going to track down Bosco to get more DNA for her new body?

I'm going to take to Buster Blaster

"Hey, you wouldn't happen to know anything about those Sam clones running around?" "THOSE ARE REAL?" "Yeah." "HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!!"

He gave us a letter to give to Momma from Bosco.

"See ya Buster." "I AM BECOME DEATH!"

Sam called Bosco "baby Bosco"

Oh hey, I probably should have tried reading Papierwaiite's mind already

Sam picked Max up so he could type in the code

Ew, Norrinton is a chest burster cthulu

Everyone keeps making fun of Sam's weight :(

Max's reaction to Norringron's grandson being named Junior is great

I used the destabilizer to look for the weapon and now Sam is crying profusely

That Romeo and Juliet reference tho

He's fine now

Well that was a lot of trial and error

Got the new toy and killed the tentacles

Time to get Momma a new body

Momma is bald. That's fine

Love that she's fully clothed even though that doesn't make any sense

Yay shooting things!

Oh no we made Sal fall

Momma is so excited to telport

Aw, she held Max's hand while Sam patted his head ❤️

She punched out Girl! Go Momma!

Ha, we made the clones dance.

Yay, we figured out where the toybox is.

AAAAH

I knew Charlie was going to be evil!

I hate evil dolls

The clones knocked the boys out

We're at the statue of liberty now???

Ew, she's got tenticles

Charlie wants to be reunited with Junior. Can't let that happen since it'll cause the apocalypse

Max is more concerned for Sam than the world

Charlie kidnapped Norrinton

Sam is still struggling against the thrall

Oh hey, got Charlie to let Sam talk

Let's mess with the sheet music

The liberty puzzel was fun

Oh shit, did Charlie just kill Norrington and Papierwaite

Ooooh, Max is all glowly

Ok, that last puzzel was kinda easy

Sam got his hat back!

Max, oh no he fell

Sam looked so scared

Oh Max, scared us for no reason

Oh God, he's scaring us for real now

OMG is this because he swallowed some demon yolk?

He's so big and Cthulu-y now!!!

Shut up narrator!

"Well, this is new." oh Sam

Wait the episode just ends there!?

Gaaahd now I have to stay up and play the next one or die from suspense.

After credits scene... Did we kill Sal!? Nooo!!!!

As 2020 is nearing, it’s time to see what 2019 has brought us when it comes to gay representation in tv shows and movies. Below ‘read more’, there’s a whole list of tv shows/ships/movies (with pictures and basic description) which include/are about gay (used as an umbrella term) men and couples (so basically have gay storylines and at least one gay person is a main character of the show/movie).

Since I’m a gay man, I keep up mostly with mlm, if I included wlw as well, I don’t think the list would be complete with my lack of knowledge, so sorry about that. I’m pretty sure there are more competent people who can do that instead of me.

Total Count of TV Shows in the list: 65 Total Count of Movies in the list: 27

Anyways, here we go.

TV SHOWS

TV SHOWS WITH TITULAR/CENTRAL GAY CHARACTERS/SHIPS

The Other Two: the funniest most-relatable show centered around three siblings – one of them is gay (left). A must-watch for sure. He’s pretty much the hugest part of the show, there are some love storyline (...and they were roomates), some self-loving moments and iconic lines. Just watch it, you won’t regret it.

Sex Education: show about two best friends, one of them (right) is gay. His name is Eric and he gets involved with his enemy Adam (left). Amazing show.

Special: show about a gay man Ryan (right) with mild cerebral palsy, who wants to live his life as an independent person to the fullest. Easy and short show to watch.

Druck (German SKAM Remake): if you don’t know SKAM, it’s pretty much a show where each season is devoted to one character. Third season of German SKAM aired this year and it was revolved around a gay guy (left). For the first time in SKAM history, the main character’s love interest is a trans guy (right).

Skam France (French SKAM Remake): the French version of SKAM had a gay season this year as well.

WTFock (Belgian SKAM Remake): Belgium has a season focused on the main gay character this year as well.

El corazón nunca se equivoca: I’m pretty sure you’ve heard of Aristemo from ‘Mi marido tiene más familia’. Well, they’d already aired the first season of the new spin-off centered around their lives in college (I think).

Merlí: Sapere Aude: Bruno (left) and Pol (right) fans, it’s time to make some noise. Brunol is coming back because Pol is getting a spin-off which will be taking place in university. Bruno will be in it as well. First episode airs on 5th of December this year.

Pose: second season of Ryan Murphy’s popular show with main transgender and gay characters has aired this year.

The Politician: another show from Ryan Murphy was created. The main protagonist of the show (right) is played by Ben Platt and he’s gay. The show contains many LGBT+ main characters.

Tales of the City: the revival of the Tales of the City sequence of miniseries aired this year. The show includes many LGBT+ storylines.

The L Word: Generation Q: the revival of The L Word show will air on 8th of December this year. The show is mainly about lesbians, but based on trailer, there will be a gay couple included as well.

Years and Years: very futuristic show with a political message. Includes both mlm and wlw as main characters.

The Red Line: the plot of this show involves a white cop in Chicago who mistakenly shoots and kills a black doctor named Harrison. Harrison had a husband (left) and daughter (right). The show deals with the consequences of the event.

Now Apocalypse: all I’m gonna say is that Beck from Victorious got to make out with Scott from Teen Wolf, Matty from Awkward and Jake from Glee. The show was renewed for second season and later this statement was taken back and it got cancelled – which I guess says enough about the show.

This Close: the show is about two best friends who are deaf. One of them (left) is gay and has a storyline and spicy scenes with the guy on the right and some other guys as well.

Schitt’s Creek: David (right) and Patrick (left) aka the cutest softest couple of all time. The last season of the show will air next air. Watch the show if you wanna laugh and watch the healthiest gay couple on tv. They also got engaged this year, which was beautiful.

NEW TV SHOWS (1 SEASON) WITH MAIN GAY CHARACTERS/SHIPS

Daybreak: both main characters and basically on different sides of the battles. Who wouldn’t want to watch enemies being in love Romeo & Juliet style.

El Juego de las Llaves (The Game of Keys): very interesting and fun show to follow, the one on the right is the main character. He’s closeted, has a girlfriend and gradually realizes there’s something else out there. Nice kissing scenes, plus one very spicy scene. Doesn’t hurt that the guy on the left he will be involved with looks like a dollar store Chris Evans if you squint hard enough.

Five Bedrooms: 5 strangers moves in. The guy in the middle is gay. His mom is a very traditional Indian woman who just wants grandchildren. The whole show is heart-warming and sad at times. The guy gets fair share of screentime and some love interests including a cop from the neighbourhood.

Made In Heaven: Indian show that follows the lives of Tara and Karan (left), two wedding planners in Delhi running an agency named Made in Heaven. Karan is gay. Very progressive show with spicy gay scenes.

What/If: haven’t seen the show yet but friends said these two have a nice storyline in the show. Threesome included.

Bonding: show about two best friends Pete (left) and Tiff (right). Pete is gay. They basically... do freaky shit for work... umm. Just watch trailer or something.

Osmosis: I have no idea what the show is about but the guy on the left is set to betrying to find a soulmate or something. I think I remember seeing some spicy scenes.

Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists: basically some gay romance with the guy on the right and someone else. The one on the left dies the first episode so I did not even bother after that. But you can be the judge of it.

Doom Patrol: Larry (left) is a superhero, kinda. There’s something haunting his past, though. Something that involves being gay.

The Umbrella Academy: Klaus (left) my favorite character. He’s kind of a hero along with his other siblings. There’s a deep gay storyling along the way.

Weird City: anyways... all I’m gonna say is that Dylan O’Brien played a gay for one episode in a show. Wish there wasn’t this huge ugly age difference.

Roswell, New Mexico: cowboys, aliens, bisexuality, homosexuality and all that. Didn’t really see the show but there’s a lot of content with these two.

Good Trouble: never saw the sow but the guy on the picture is a main bisexual characters. There are some mlm scenes.

The Society: Grizz (right) and Sam (left) literally the highlight of the show. Just watch it, it is worth to see it for both of them. Sam is also deaf. The show is basically about a bunch of teenagers getting stuck in a town with no one else in or around.

High School Musical: The Musical: The Series: The High School Musical tv show has just started airing on Disney+. Carlos (left) is confirmed to be gay and to be getting a nice development this season which will probably involve Seb (right) as well.

The Heights: Australian tv show. Sully (left) is gay. Got a thing for Ash (right) at the start. Then things were messy. Then they suddenly kissed. And the things are messy again.

El Club (The Club): very interesting show. The gave these two really (like REALLY) spicy scenes. Some romantic stuff. But there’s really not much depth in my option. Check and see.

Volevo fare la rockstar: didn’t see it but it’s an Italian show and there’s a romantic storyline between these two.

No Good Nick: Jeremy (right) came out this year on this sitcom. Nice and very weid sitcom. Unfortunately it was cancelled, but the way they handled his gay storyline was rather nice.

World on Fire: follows lives of ordinary people from Britain, Poland, France, Germany and the USA during World War II. Two of them are gay. And yeah one of those two is Will from sense8.

TV SHOWS (1 SEASON+) WITH MAIN GAY CHARACTERS/SHIPS

Andi Mack: the show that made history. Andi Mack is a Disney Channel show and for the first time in Disney Channel history, Cyrus (right) came out using the word ‘gay’ and made it official with the recurring character TJ (left) this year. The two-season slow-burn was really worth it.

Shadowhunters: Malec got married this year. Yay.

Grey’s Anatomy: Levi and Nico still going strong.

La Casa de las Flores (The House of Flowers): despite the first season making it seem like it was the end for Diego and Julián, that’s not the case. In season 2, they’re stronger than ever, the scenes are spicier than ever and the show is gayer than ever.

Baby: first season was mostly focused on Fabio (face on right) realizing he’s gay. The second season has shockingly showed us that Brando (face on left) is gay as well. Very toxic ship so if you enjoy Gallavich this is probably for you.

Élite: Omar and Ander continuing their journey.

Shameless: Ian (up) and Mickey (down) came back to Shameless season 10 as main characters. About time.

Station 19: new love interest (left, a deaf character portrayed by a deaf actor) was introduced for Travis (right) in the season 2 finale. Let’s see what happens in season 3, which airs in 2020.

Ackley Bridge: they pretty much baited us with Cory (left) and Naveed (right) this season. They stayed just friends, but Naveed found a love interest, so that’s nice.

Find Me In Paris: Never saw the show, but Jeff (on the picture) is gay and his love interest Isaac gets introduced in second season that aired this year.

13 Reasons Why: Tony and Caleb going strong. It was also revealed that Monty (right) is a closeted gay and had a storyline with Winston (left). There’s probably more to come with them in next season.

Insatiable: unfortunately they didn’t serve much Bob (right) & Bob this year. But they introduced detective Rudy (left) and there were some scenes and twists and turns. Whatever.

Riverdale: I don’t care. Kevin (left) is still there. There are some gay charcters based on wiki, but yeah. Crumbs, I bet. Whatever.

Charité: second season (which has the two main gay characters) takes place in Berlin in 1943. You don’t need to watch the first season at all, to understand the second one with them, it’s basically a stand-alone.

Animal Kingdom: Deran and Adrian’s story coming to an end?

The Magicians: Well, they killed off the central bi character Quentin (on the picture), so fuck them.

How to Get Away With Murder: Connor (left) and Oliver (right) still there.

Dear White People: haven’t seen it, but Lionel (on the picture) is still there and he’s gay.

Zoe Valentine: there’s this web series and these two have a storyline in second season that aired this year.

SOAP OPERAS AND TELENOVELAS

Sturm der Liebe: Boris (left) and Tobias (right) are married and lived happily ever after. Really cute and sometimes dramatic storyline overall. Check it out.

Malhação: Vidas Brasileiras: Santiago (left) and Michael (right) had a gay storyline but the show ended this year.

Malhação: Toda Forma de Amar: Guga (right) and Serginho (left) have a gay storyline in the show.

Eastenders: Ben (left) and Callum’s (right) storyline has begun this year.

Neighbours: David (right) and Aaron (left) aka husbands still in the soap.

REALITY SHOWS

Queer Eye: five gay guys helping others. Season 3, 4 and a special have aired this year.

Are You the One?: for the first time in the show’s history, season 8 of this dating reality show had an all-sexually fluid cast this year. Which means mlm and wlw and anything else. Really fun show.

MOVIES

Benjamin: don’t even remember what the movie was about but I rec because it was cute and I mean hello Merlin.

Boy Erased: homosexuality and religion. Has a Troye Sivan in it. Very decent movie.

And Then We Danced: my favorite gay movie of this year. All the things they had to do to be able to film this in homophobic Georgia (the country)... just wow. It’s a must-watch.

Who Would You Take to a Deserted Island?: didn’t know what to expect from this movie. It is based on a play and it shows. Watch and be the judge of it. The acting was really highlight of the movie.

This Is Not Berlin: hasn’t seen it yet since it was just officially released. But it is included in an LGBT+ section so... hopefully they didn’ lie.

Rocketman: movie about Elton John with Taron Egerton and Richard Madden... I mean, phew.

Un Rubio (The Blonde One): gonna watch this, apparently it’s amazing based on what some of my mutuals have said.

The Death and Life of John F. Donovan: Jon Snow being gay and kissing Chris Zylka. Made by Xavier Dolan. A literal tripple threat. Genuinely enjoyed the movie and the soundtrack.

Ranchlands: haven’t seen this but my friend said it’s amazing.

Steam Room Stories: this movie was something... Eating Out levels of ‘I-’ but without all the sex. I guess watch this if you are bored.

Posledice (Consequences): very spicy and intriguing movie. Slovenia snapped with this one.

Papi Chulo: didn’t like this movie and the concept of it but... you can check out and see for yourself.

Dolor y gloria (Pain and Glory): Antonio Banderas kissing a man. Hopefully it really is a gay-related movie because I haven’t seen it yet.

Die Stropers (The Harvesters): brilliant cinematography but I expected much more from the movie.

Giant Little Ones: what happens when you’re into your best friend’s sister but the best friend gives you a BJ. Well... watch and see.

Kanarie (Canary): a war musical about a small town boy who gets chosen to serve his compulsory two year military training in the South African Defence Force Choir and Concert. Loved the involvement of the Boy George music, aesthetic and story. One of my favorites this year.

Luciérnagas (Fireflies): haven’t seen it yet but the description says that the main gay character (right) “flees from persecution in Iran and ends up living in the tropical town of Veracruz.”

El Angel: haven’t seen it but apparently there are some implications it was lowkey gay... so yeah.

Dear Ex: from wiki “San Lian was devastated when she discovered her late ex-husband left his insurance payout to his male partner Ah Jie. She decided to bring her son to fight for their rights, but her son instead chose to stand on the other person's side.” Will watch this soon, sounds interesting.

Sauvage: one of the best gay movies this year. Don’t know how to describe it so let me copy paste the description “ Léo is a sex worker who uses drugs whilst longing for love.”

Sócrates: haven’t seen it yet as it was just released.

Marilyn: story about a farm worker who discovers his sexuality in a hostile environment. Didn’t see it since someone has told me there are some scenes that are really HARD to stomach and I ain’t about that life.

Les Crevettes pailletées (The Shiny Shrimps): the movie is about an Olympic swimming champion who makes a homophobic comment in a television interview, and is disciplined by the national swim team with the responsibility of coaching a gay water polo team who aspire to compete in the Gay Games. Sounds and looks like an amazing comedy and can’t wait to watch it when I will be able to.

Fin de siglo (End of the Century): it’s not out yet as far as I know, but it’s about two men who meet in Barcelona and realize they have met already 20 years ago.

Matthias et Maxime: another excellence by Xavier Dolan. Story about life-long friends who question their sexual identities after they kiss. Looks amazing and I can’t wait for it to get released finally.

The Goldfinch: not a gay movie, but I’ve seen many people considering it as LGBT+ cinema because of the book and you know what, they kissed after all so you can perceive it beyond friendship if you want. If not, then just skip it. I feel like it is worth mentioning it tho.

Mapplethorpe: movie is about the life of photographer Robert Mapplethorpe. Didn’t see it but Doctor Who plays him so there’s that.

State of the Season pt 1

So, so many shows! :O I don't remember the last time I watched so many ongoing shows. Alas, quantity doesn't translate into quality, but still, there are some pretty nice shows that I enjoy a lot.

Not these, though.

Dragon, ie wo kau

Yeah, this was crap. I expected something fun and fantasy-spoofy, I got a badly animated, badly produced, badly acted (from the main character) video-game-referencing show that takes one joke that is already not incredibly funny, and runs it into the ground until there's nothing left but dust. Pity.

Mars Red

Oh, this show. The first episode was stilted and vaguely pretentious*, but I thought eh, let's see a bit more of it. So I watched episode two and three, and bam, the usual vampire-hunter-vampires shenanigans with some half-hearted attempts at ~Historical Relevance~ but still pretentious. Perhaps it could've been better with more interesting/charming characters, but they weren't interesting at all... OK, that's not quite true, I liked that young vampire (supposedly the most powerful one?) who was always doing the "hey enemy vampire, you can join us or you can die" speech, that was cute.

*I mean... yes, you've read Salome. Yay. So how is it related to what happens in the episode? Does she kill the one she loved to possess him or something? No. Does she do anything even vaguely related to the story of Salome? No. So... what's the significance of the references? And from episode 2 it was downhill. EP 2 has Romeo and Juliet for "tragic lovers" which is about the most clichéd thing ever and the lovers' story had nothing in common with Romeo and Juliet other than them dying in the end. And in episode 3 the characters are literally standing around reciting Relevant Poetry. I suppose this works for people who are satisfied with understanding a reference and who want to feel smart for knowing some classical literature, but other than that...

I've been putting off watching episode 4 since Monday, and frankly at this rate likely I'll never watch it.

Fumetsu no anata he

3 episodes in, and oh yes, I remember why I didn't keep up with the manga. Look, I'm not saying it's a bad show. As most people I was very impressed with the first episode. Good stuff, emotionally powerful. But what happens after that is just totally not my cup of tea. Nonhuman entity learning to understand humans and gaining sympathy for humanity would be totally up my street - but not really when it happens via a generic adventure story, tryhard epicness tipping into unintentional hilarity every now and then, overwrought music, precocious kids mugging for the camera, and the threat of misery porn looming just over the horizon... and that's not even mentioning the obvious production issues apparent from episode 2 that further undermine the epic tone the show is going for.

I think I'll give it one more episode, although I have a feeling I'm not going to last longer. I'm sure the story will eventually have some profound things to say, but I'm also sure it'll be nothing I haven't heard before in ways that resonated better with me.

86 -Eighty-Six-

aka "Liberal Circlejerk - The Anime". (And while it can't be "white liberal" for obvious reasons, it has the attitude down pat.)

This show. This is what you get from a LN for horny teen boys fantasizing about being badass soldiers and naive girls in sexy uniforms, that also wants to say Serious Important Woke Stuff. You get a show about Super Special Teenagers that is hilariously dumbed down, preachy, self-congratulatory, and also cynical about how it treats its female characters. (And that's not even saying how stupid the setting is... I'm sure there'll be some twist but seriously, it still wants us to just handwave away stuff like "even if the enemy's weapons will expire in 2 years, how come nobody asks 'what if they built new ones' or 'what if they have other stuff up their sleeve'" etc...)

Really, I'd like to say that at least the show has its heart in the right place, but I can't, because for every preachy and dumbed down but decent message it delivers it does shit like ogling the main female character (whose uniform has a garterbelt apparently because the LN writer is into that), having her make cute pouty or blushing faces, pointing out how she's a virgin, having a "boys ogle bathing girls" scene* where the girls of course talk about boys and romance because girls, eh? etc. Hell, in episode 4 it even manages to undermine the single best thing that happened in the show so far by basically tone policing the oppressed character who told the MC to fuck off and not treat them as her morality pets. Clearly even if your friend was just killed in action and this random person who is also your oppressor and is wallowing in privilege, is crying in your ear making it all about her, you shouldn't be rude to her because aw shucks she meant well. And of course all it takes is a "sorry, I'll treat you like humans from now on, I swear" for everyone to start respecting her. Like, wow, she's committed to the bare minimum, where's the champagne?!

*Yes, the girls were dressed, but you just know that at one point in production (or perhaps in the source material) they were were naked. The entire scene is set up as a usual ogling-bathing-girls scene, so I'd bet money that what happened was someone in production vetoed it in the very last moment so they didn't have time to rewrite everything, only to give the girls clothes.

I'm still getting some entertainment value out of 86 (those spider tanks are pretty nice...) but oh boy, the cringe.

Drunk Harry calls Y/N up to tell her he loves her, but he accidentally calls the wrong number

(from the Flatmate Series)

This happened after the iconic moment in the chapter "Does He Know" in book 1, and before the chapter "Be Here" (in which Y/N finally got to hear Harry say he loved her, and ironically, he also said it on the phone when he was drunk haha 😂)

“The party sucks, let’s go to the club, bitches!”

“To the club!”

“No, Harry, stay!” Niall caught his best friend’s arm and pulled him back down on the sofa.

Layla raised an eyebrow as the boys burst out laughing. “Why is he already wasted? We just got here,” she asked, pointing to Harry.

“He’s going through a phase,” Liam said.

“A phase?” Layla scoffed, putting her hands on her hips. “Lemme guess. It’s that girl again?”

“She has a name!”

“Okay, drunk Romeo. Calm the fuck down.” Layla raised her hands as she sat down next to him.

Before she could ask, Trix quickly got her updated on what she’d just missed, “Y/N went out with a guy and Harry got upset.”

“So your potential girlfriend is someone else’s girlfriend now?”

“Layla.”

“What? I’m just trying to catch up.” Layla flipped her hair over her shoulder, glaring at Louis.

It was only then that Harry spoke, “she didn’t like the guy. And...and I think...she might have told me that she liked me...”

“You should be happy then. It’s good.”

“No, it’s not!” Harry grumbled at Niall, his eyelids fluttered as he tried to keep both eyes open. “I don’t think I’m ready...I don’t...don’t want to hurt her, because I will...But when the next guy comes, she might like him back! And then...and then I’ll...I’ll lose her forever.”

“That’s a little dramatic.”

“It’s easier for you to say, Layla. You’ve never been in love!” Harry grumbled, making Layla turn to look at Niall, who was too concerned with Harry to notice that.

Thinking for a second, she heaved a sigh and tugged at Harry’s sleeve so he would look at her. “Listen, dumbass,” she said. “Alcohol is not gonna solve your problem. You’re gonna lose her anyway.”

“Layla--”

“Shut up, Louis! I’m speaking!”

Louis’ mouth clamped shut and Layla continued, “if I were you, I’d finally grow some balls and--”

“And tell her how you feel!”

“No!” She shot Trix a death glare. “I was gonna say, move out of the flat.”

“What?!” Niall pushed Layla’s hand off Harry, his face scrunched up. “Why are telling him to move out? What’s wrong with you?”

“I never like that girl.”

“Who the fuck cares if you like her or not?!”

“Stop it!” Harry shouted and grabbed their hands, squeezing them tightly. “I’m gonna tell her how I feel!”

“Yay!” Trix excitedly applauded, but everyone else was frozen in their seat.

“That’s great, right?” Liam was the first to react. “You should totally do that, mate!”

“Y-Yeah. I’m with you,” Louis reluctantly punched the air, faking a grin as he gave Layla a nudge to remind her not to say something mean. But before she could even come up with a response, Harry pulled out his phone and immediately made a call.

“Oh my god, someone stop him!” Layla cried out.

“Harry, give me the phone.” Niall stood up when Harry jumped away from the sofa. “You don’t want to do this when you’re drunk. Trust me.”

“Hello, Y/N?”

“Shit!”

Ignoring his friends’ reactions, Harry rubbed his eyes with the heel of his palm and chuckling happily when he heard the female voice. “Hey, it’s H...I-I’m sorry if I woke you up...”

“I can’t watch this,” Layla breathed, burying her face into her palms.

Niall, Liam, and Louis were on the edge of their seats while Trix was smiling as big as she would every time she was watching a Disney movie’s happy ending. Harry, however, didn’t even remember they were there.

“I just want to say that...I-I love you and we should be together...” he whispered into the phone, but was loud enough for his friends to hear every word. “I’m sorry I waited too long to say this...but...but I don’t...don’t want to lose you...I-I want to take care of you...”

“I’m feeling major secondhand embarrassment right now,” Layla said, and everyone but Trix nodded their head to agree.

“You don’t have to answer me right away. Just...just think about it, okay? Okay. Goodnight and...and I love you,” he slurred, laughing drunkenly and putting his phone away with a huge grin on his face. Then, he flopped back down on the couch and snuggled into Niall’s arms, drifting off right on the spot.

Everyone was still processing what they had just heard and witnessed. It took them almost a minute to break the silence.

“He’s not gonna remember this, is he?”

“Nope.” Niall blew out his cheeks as he agreed with Layla. “I can’t bring him back to his flat like this. He needs to be sober when he talks to Y/N in the morning.”

“Do you think she’ll reject him?” Liam asked.

“Of course not!” Trix said quickly. “I don’t know if any of you noticed, but every time Harry looked away, Y/N would look at him and vice versa. Trust me, I know love when I see it. Just like how Layla looked at Niall earlier.”

Everyone turned to Layla, who widened her eyes in shock. “What?! I looked at Niall because he pissed me off, alright?”

“What did I do?!”

“Whatever.” She waved him off and got up, pointing to Harry. “Just take him back to your place or something. He might need emotional support in the morning.”

“I did WHAT?!”

Harry held his head and collapsed onto Niall’s bed. The hangover was already killing him, but it was nothing compared to what his best friend had just told him. His head hurt so bad, and he couldn’t remember anything at the party last night. He wished Niall was joking, but he knew for certain that his best friend wouldn’t joke about something like this.

“Do you want me to repeat what you told her.”

“Oh no, please don’t!”

Niall took a deep breath and began anyway, “I just want to say that I love you and we should be together...”

“Fuck!”

“I’m sorry I waited too long to say this, but I don’t want to lose you.”

“Shoot me now!” He covered his face with a pillow as Niall went on.

“I want to take care of you. You can answer me in the morning. Good night and I love you. And, scene!”

Harry immediately sat up and grabbed Niall’s shoulders. “You have got to help me! Tell her it was a prank, a dare, whatever. Just make something up!”

“I wouldn’t lie if I were you.”

“Why not?!”

Niall calmly took Harry’s hands and put them back on his knees. “If you told the truth and then said it was a lie, then when you're ready, you won’t be able to tell her the truth anymore.”

“But I won’t ever be ready...”

“You don’t know that.” Niall gave a shrug, pursing his lips.

Harry sighed into his palm, but after a moment of thinking, he nodded his head. “You’re right though. Maybe I should own up to it.”

“That’s my boy!” Niall burst out laughing and stood up, pulling Harry with him but Harry didn’t budge. “What now, H?”

“Can I...um...stay here one more night? I’m not--”

“No, Harold! Get up!”

“No, wait! Give me an hour then!”

“Fuck no!”

Harry tossed his head back, shouting and kicking like a little boy as Niall dragged him on the floor out of the flat.

Harry felt as if he and Niall had just teleported to his flat. One minute he was forced into Niall’s car, and the next one, they had arrived at his place. He would give anything to delay this confrontation, but now he was already standing outside his flat and Niall was guarding the lift so he wouldn’t run away.

Giving his best friend one last look, Harry pulled out his key to open the door. His heart was pounding so hard it was difficult to breathe. But before he could unlock it, the door was pulled open and Y/N appeared, looking surprised to see him.

“H-Hi.” He smiled awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck.

“Hi,” was all she said. But why was she so relaxed? If he was her, he would have been either angry or shy after that phone call. She was too chilled about this. And Y/N could never keep her composure in this kind of situations.

“Oh, hey, Niall! What are you doing over there?” Y/N said, but Niall stayed right where he was, awkwardly waving back at her.

“What’s up with the two of you?” She breathed out a laugh, looking even more confused now.

Harry pinched the bridge of his nose and sucked in a breath as he told himself, here goes nothing. He finally gathered his courage to take her hands and press them against his chest. Her eyes were wide with shock, but she was too stiff to move.

“About last night, I...um...I just want to say that--” he stuttered, struggling to find the right words but his mind was completely empty.

Lucky for him, she could see that and decided to interrupt. “It’s okay.” She pressed her lips into a smile. “I know, H.”

As she said those words and her fingers slipped out of his, Harry’s heart nearly stopped for he thought she was going to turn him down. He’d had one chance and he’d blown up and she’d probably changed her mind by now.

But then, Y/N said, “I know you spent the night at Niall’s.”

“I can explain--Wait, what?!” Harry squinted his eyes at the girl who looked utterly ignorant as she let out a soft laugh.

“I know you feel guilty about not telling me you’d stay out last night. But don’t worry, I was too tired to wait for you so I went to bed early.”

“Oh...” His mouth formed a small circle as he paused for a second. “But...you didn’t...get a call or something at around 2 AM?”

“No.” She shook her head, her eyebrows furrowed. “You know I put my phone on airplane mode when I sleep, right? I wouldn’t have known if you’d called me. Wait, did you call me?”

“Holy shit,” he cursed under his breath and released her hands immediately.

Niall rushed to his side, quickly apologized to interrupt and pulled Harry away from Y/N. “If it wasn’t her, then who did you confess your love to last night?” Niall whispered to his best friend, whose face was entirely pallid.

Harry hurriedly pulled out his phone to check his recent calls. But before he could even unlock the screen, his sister’s name appeared.

He exchanged looks with Niall before answering it. “Hello?”

“Have you told her?” Gemma's unexpected question caught him by surprise.

“What are you talking about?” he asked, giving Y/N a fake smile which was suspicious as hell, but the girl didn’t seem to bother as she walked back into the flat.

“Y/N.” Gemma giggled. “Have you finally told her how you felt?”

“Shit. Did I call you?”

“Yes, dumbass.”

“Shit, shit, shit!”

“I was with mum and Robin so I put you on speaker.”

Harry smacked his forehead and squeezed his eyes shut.

“Was it Gemma?” Niall asked.

“Yup.” He gave a single nod. “Gemma, my mum, and my stepdad, actually.”

“Oh, shit...” Niall covered his mouth, but from the look on his face, Harry knew he was trying his best not to laugh and embarrass him even more.

“So did you tell her already?” His sister sounded enthusiastic and probably wouldn’t give up until he gave her a proper answer.

“Not yet.”

“Why?”

“It’s none of your business!” He huffed and shoved his hand into his hair. “Just...forget about last night, okay? And please don’t quote it back to me. Niall did it already.”

“Actually, I’m feeling like doing it right now,” Gemma said as she cleared her throat to impersonate a drunk Harry. “Hey, I didn’t wake you, did I? I just want to say that I love you and I want us to be together--”

He immediately ended the call, letting go of the longest sigh as he massaged his temples and put his phone back into his pocket.

“Well, at least it wasn’t one your hookups,” Niall said, making Harry snort.

“Y/N is on my favourite contact list and so is Gemma. I must have called her by accident.”

“So now what? Are you gonna tell her?”

“I still don’t think I’m ready yet,” he breathed, his eyebrows knitted together. “But when I finally do it, I will not do it on the phone, especially when I’m drunk.”

Oh well, little did he know...

Previous Chapter | Next Chapter

Read from the beginning

Chapter 13

Of course, of course, Roman picked the stereotypical monologue from Romeo and Juliet.

“Roman, if you want to stand out, I would suggest picking...literally anything else.” Logan said, putting his laptop on the coffee table. “Do you know how many people choose this monologue?”

“This is slightly different! It’s a modern version.” Roman protested, before picking up the sheet they’d printed off. “Just let me try?”

Logan sighed and waved his hand at Roman. “Fine.”

What he did not expect was for Roman to grab his hand and look him dead in the eyes as he spoke.

“But...wait. What’s that light in the window over there? It is the east, and Juliet - she is the sun. Rise, beautiful sun, and kill the jealous moon. She is already sick and pale with grief because you - you Juliet, her maid, are far more beautiful than she.”

As Roman continued his monologue, he moved closer to Logan. Logan felt like his face was on fire as Roman grew closer and closer, before reaching the final line of his monologue.

“Oh, how I wish I was the glove on that hand, so that I could touch that cheek.”

He laid his hand on Logan’s cheek, making Logan lose any breath in his body.

And suddenly the heat was gone, as Roman backed up and grinned. “How was that?”

Right. Acting. He was acting.

“Amazing.” Logan tried his best to calm his thudding heart. “You really don’t need my help.”

“I’m sure there’s a lot to improve on. Voice inflections, having the right look in my eyes...those kinds of things.” Roman said, slipping the monologue into his folder. “Anyway, back to our project. We were going to finish up the stage directions today, right?”

“Uh, right. Yeah.” Logan snapped himself out of his gay thoughts, as best as he could, grabbing their project folder.

Logan just managed to get through their project. Everytime Roman brushed against him it took all of his willpower to keep himself from turning into a tomato. What didn’t help matters was that now that they were friends, Roman was much more touchy than he had been before.

“Dinner’s ready!” Preston called out, a knowing grin on his face.

“Thank you for letting me stay.” Roman said as the two of them packed up their project. He was blissfully unaware of Logan glaring daggers at his dad over his head. “My parents took Dahlia out tonight, so it would’ve been just me in the house.”

“You’re welcome to come over anytime.”

As Roman turned, Logan switched from glaring to nodding. “Anytime.”

As the days passed, Logan and Roman grew much closer. They’d already been spending most afternoons together due to their project, but now it was almost every day. Before, they’d merely been working, not really talking except for what they needed to do.

Now, they were talking a lot more and trying to get to know each other better.

“Virgil, please. The more time I spend alone with him -”

“The harder you fall in love with him?” Virgil teased, looking up from his doodling. Logan’s face was beet red. “Alright, fine, I’ll come over. But only if I can bring Patton.”

“Deal.”

Somehow, someway, Remy found out about their hangout. He walked up to Logan after school, leaning against the next locker.

“I hear you’re having a get together tonight?” He asked, sipping his tea.

Logan gave him a look. “It’s just a few of us. I do not need you spreading the word.”

“One condition.”

Which is how Logan had ended up with his new group of friends at his house on a Friday night.

“Logan, you didn’t tell me you were having friends over!” Preston said as the six of them walked in the door. “I definitely don’t have enough pot roast to go around, so I guess we’ll have to order pizza. Poor me, having to eat pizza on this fine Friday.”

“If I had known everyone was coming over I would’ve offered up my place.” Roman told them as Preston walked away, dialing the phone.

Remy waved a hand. “I invited myself and Emile.”

“Remy!”

Emile’s protests were quickly muffled. The rest of them rolled their eyes, ignoring the couple.

Logan gestured to the TV. “We can watch a movie? Otherwise we have a ton of games in the basement.”

“Why don’t you and Roman go pick out a game?” There was a bit of a mischievous twinkle in Patton’s eye.

Virgil immediately picked up on what his boyfriend was doing. “Yeah, we’ll just try to unstick these two.”

Before Logan could suggest one of them coming along too, Roman nodded. “Sure. Where’s your basement?”

“This way.” Logan started walking, feeling the meddling eyes on his back as he left the room.

The two of them headed down into the half-finished basement. They had the walls done, but the floor was still cold concrete. Logan hissed as his bare feet touched the floor.

“Want me to carry you?” Roman teased as he headed toward the shelf with the games. There was enough that they were piled high and shoved any which way to fit into the small space.

Flushing at the offer, Logan followed after Roman. “Why don’t you pick something?”

“I haven’t even heard of some of these.”

Logan shrugged. “My family is big on games. We always have been.”

They perused the stack of games, selecting Betrayal at House on the Hill. It took some finagling, but they managed to get the game out without causing a Jenga-type avalanche.

Logan turned, heading for the stairs, but was stopped when Roman put a hand on his shoulder. “Wait.”

Spinning back around, Logan did his best to ignore how the ugly fluorescent lights seemed to cast a halo around Roman’s head. “Yeah?”

“I know you’re already helping me with the monologue and everything, but I was hoping...you know what, nevermind it’s -”

“Roman.” Logan stepped closer to him. “What do you need me to do?”

“Will you be there when I tell my parents about the audition?” Roman blurted out, looking slightly scared. “I’m hoping that having a friend there, a real friend, will help them...I don’t know, soften the blow if they don’t agree with my choices?”

“I’ll be there.”

In an instant there were arms around Logan. He stiffened ever so slightly before relaxing into the hug. Roman’s breath tickled his ear as he whispered, “Thank you.”

“Hey, what’s the hold up?” Remy called from the top of the stairs. “If you two are gonna tell me not to make out with my boyfriend and then kiss in your basement -”

“We’re not kissing!” The two of them shouted together, both of them blushing a bright red.

Roman headed up the stairs with the game, Logan right behind him.

“Then why were you taking so long?”

“We were choosing a game.” Roman waved the box in the air. “That takes some time if you wanna pick a good one.”

“Same thing applies to boys.” Logan was ready to die as Remy winked at him. “Takes some time to find a good one.”

“You can say that again.”

The six of them started on the board game, taking a short break when the pizza arrived. When the game came to a close, Remy lamented that Emile had been the betrayer all the way out the door and down the driveway.

Roman lingered in the doorway as everyone else headed home, having been picked up by their parents.

“About what I asked you...does tomorrow night work? Otherwise I can plan a different day.”

“Tomorrow is fine.” Logan gave him a smile. “The sooner they know, the better.”

“Right. Thanks again.” Roman looked up, over Logan’s head. “Thanks for having me!”

“Our pleasure.” Thomas and Preston said together, waving as Roman closed the door.

The second he was gone, Preston’s gaze flicked to Logan. He wiggled his eyebrows. “What’s tomorrow night?”

“Roman would like me to be there when he talks to his parents about the musical.” Ignoring the heat in his cheeks, Logan moved to clean up the living room. “He’s worried that they won’t approve.”

Thankfully his dads left it at that, leaving Logan alone to clean up.

The next day seemed to go by way too fast. Before Logan could blink he was standing in front of the door to Roman’s house. The last time he’d been here was the party. Reaching out, he knocked three times.

“Come in!” Called a feminine voice.

Logan entered, immediately hugged by a young, dark-skinned girl. She gave him a toothy grin. “I’m Dahlia!”

“Dahlia, remember what we said about asking for hugs?” Roman asked as he came around the corner.

Logan could’ve died then and there. Roman was wearing a messy apron, wiping his hands on a dishtowel, looking every inch a house husband. There was a bit of flour in his hair and Logan pushed back the urge to run his fingers through the silky strands to get it out.

“Sorry!” Dahlia yelled, snapping Logan out of his extremely gay thoughts. “Mr.? Can I hug you?”

“Yes.”

“YAY!” She shrieked, latching back onto Logan.

He couldn’t help but laugh, hugging her back. When she was satisfied, she darted out of the room.

“She’s a handful, but she’s my sister.” Roman flicked the towel over his shoulder. “Thanks for coming.”

“Of course. Um, you have some flour in your hair.”

Roman shook his head, combing with his fingers. “Did I get it?”

“No, um.” Logan walked forward, shaking the white powder out of Roman’s hair.

“Oh, you must be Logan!” Logan froze with his hand in Roman’s hair as a woman entered the room. She shared the same green eyes as Roman, but her hair was much darker. “I’m Margo.”

Roman pulled Logan’s hand from his hair, smiling at him. “Mom, this is Logan.”

“Very nice to meet you.” Margo had the same warm smile as her son. “You two are working on that English project together, right?”

“Yeah.” Logan said, finally finding his voice. “Roman’s a great partner.”

“I raised him right.”

“We raised him right.” Called a voice from the kitchen.

“C’mon.” Roman grabbed Logan’s hand and pulled him into the other room. A man with the same gorgeous blonde waves as Roman glanced over from the stove as they entered. “Dad, this is Logan.”

“I’d shake your hand, but I gotta keep stirrin’.” He continued his whisking. “Call me Connor.”

“Nice to meet you, Sir.”

Not too long later, Logan was sitting at the table, eating some delicious turkey and mashed potatoes with homemade gravy. Once everyone was served, Roman gently nudged Logan under the table. Logan glanced over at him and gave him a nod.

“Mom? Dad? There’s something I have to tell you.”

Margo and Connor exchanged a quick glance before Margo nodded. “Anything, honey.”

“I - um...I -”

Logan gave Roman a smile, hoping that it looked more reassuring than it felt.

“Oh! Are you two a couple?” Margo asked. “Because we already told you we were alright with you being gay.”

“Love isn’t picky.”

It took everything Logan had to not spontaneously combust then and there. Regardless, he could feel his face boiling.

“No!” When Logan looked over, he was relieved to see that Roman was as red as he was. “We’re not - we’re just friends! What I wanted to tell you was that I’m trying out for the spring musical instead of baseball!”

There was a beat of silence. Connor raised an eyebrow. “I thought you liked baseball?”

“I do, but not as much as I used to. With our project, I realized that I really like theater.” Roman’s face was slowly turning back to its normal color. “Logan has been helping me rehearse my monologue. Tryouts are next week, and I’d love it if you guys would come.”

“Oh, honey, of course we will!”

Connor let out a sigh. “You were scared to tell me because you thought I wanted you to be in baseball, weren’t you?”

“A little.” Roman admitted, sliding his spoon through his gravy.

“Roman, I only want you to be happy. And if doing theater is what makes you happy, then I want you to try out.” Connor cleared his throat, eyes darting to Logan. “Though I do think you should reconsider the term friends. Logan seems like a nice boy.”

“DAD!”

Logan couldn’t help but laugh as Roman turned bright red.

Thankfully, they got through the rest of dinner without any more teasing or mishaps. Roman walked Logan out, rolling his eyes. “I’m so sorry about them.”

“Don’t be. Your parents are great.” Logan leaned against the brick of the porch, sending a quick text to Thomas.

It was only a few minutes until he pulled up.

“See you Monday.”

“Bye.”

“BYE ROMAN’S BOYFRIEND!”

Logan smiled to himself as he got in the car, hearing the front door slam and giggling shrieks behind him.

so i saw the star war

spoilers ahoy

i guess this is just gonna be random bullet points

* i actually feel pretty chill about it. yay for being spoiled. also like.... if you ignore the ridiculous stuff there’s actually a lot to have fun with in this one. i don’t know how i’ll feel about it once i’ve processed it more. i just know i had fun while watching it, which i know isn’t true for everybody. i totally understand the negativity - it all makes sense to me. i’m just glad i sort of.... FORCED myself to have enough distance to just go in like ‘i’M PrepArED fOr wHAtEveR’

*i did like all the jumping around between locations in the first half and how ben would show up everywhere rey was. what a ‘you’re everywhere i go’ pairing. /chef’s kiss/. also having the different locations gives a sense of spaciousness (even if it’s all happening over a short period of time) which i missed in tlj.

*one of the things that gave me the most joy as the hux thing ??? X’’’D it was EXACTLY like that ‘the farce awakens’ ep where hux LITERALLY JOINS THE RESISTANCE cuz he can’t stand kylo. like what kind of fanfic...... how do the hux fans out there feel? (i really love the hux fans they’re a great bunch XD). shame that he was gone right after though.

* i actually enjoyed the trio dynamic? like i get the desire to move away from ‘trio mentality’ but the rey/poe tension with finn as mediator was fun. and finn and poe as joint generals? adorable. shame that the whole finn/poe thing got a bit clouded by.... stormpilot baiting and rose erasure and all the things... Also i’m not anti any character - i like zorii - but.... let poe stay a gay icon? i guess he can still be a queer icon it’s all good i’m down for whatever.

*speaking of finn.... loved seeing more of his humour back. didn’t love that there was no unpacking of how he feels taking out stormtroopers. but loved the found family of jannah and the other ex-stormtroopers. i feel like that gave SOME resolution/depth to finn’s origins. and finn being a non force user but seemingly super attuned to the force and its ways? i can roll with that.

*more speaking of finn... i wonder what they were doing with the ‘thing he wants to tell rey that he never gets to tell rey’. seems like an obvious ‘i love you’ thing. but at the same time we got reylo (/basks in that for a second/). it feels to me like throwing a bone to the finnrey people? like they didn’t get it in this movie but it could be a thing in the future? regaurdless, i did like how finn and rey were very connected and back to that loving friendship they had in tfa. we never quite got the ‘you have a force bond with the supreme leader?!!’ conversation but we got.... SOME conversation.

* speaking of the supreme leader... kinda love that we got renperor AND ben solo TM. i prefer to view ben more holistically (he is both ‘ben’ and ‘kylo’) but i get that making them two distinct identities was a helpful shortcut of sorts. he could ‘kill’ kylo and switch to being ben in a single scene. i always prefer Soft Boi Ben but if we were gonna get Bad Boy Kylo i’m glad they established it right out the gate. it was like ok, this is what to expect; this is where we’re at with this character.

*ben with his costume change at the end....... omg. gave me BIG smuggler!Ben vibes. urgh, give me all the AUs. ben deserves more.

*the amount of swagger when he was fighting the KOR

*idk i feel like i’m not even touching on the big stuff. this was just a ‘get all my side thoughts out of my system’ post.

*adam’s smile after the kiss though......... ... /the most beautiful thing in this world/

*truly iconic that people were right about the strategic, covert introduction of force healing via baby yoda like one month before tros.

*oh yeah it was wILD that so much of the imagery from the trailers/tv spots etc was in like the first five mintues of the movie ??? i totally assumed the ‘i have been every voice you’ve ever heard inside your head’ moment would be climactic rather than right up front

*oh yeah the vader mask.... that didn’t really mean anything in the end then did it?

* re: ben’s death. maybe it’s because i was braced for it but in some ways it’s the best way he could have gone. he was definitely happy and reunited with the light - both through love of rey and of his family. hIGHKey could have done with ben’s force ghost also appearing at the end? the only good thing about not seeing it is.... LF deciding to retcon his death ? ??XD obs they’re not gonna but if you want a crackpot silver lining there it is.

*what exactly does rey’s future look like, may i ask?

* oh yeah, Passing The Saber Through The Force. maybe my favourite moment. the force bond as a bare concept is so romantic to me i would watch a whole trilogy just exploring the magic system of that - it’s limitations and possibilities.

* i do like that jj developed the visual style of the bond. we got to see them occupying the same space, the way each of them would be seeing the other (’can you see my surroundings, i can’t see yours, just you’)

*i miss that rian johnson sound editing on the bond though..... god, the iNTIMACY of the tlj bond scenes....

*’i DID want to take your hand’

*also just the word choice of ‘take your hand’/ ‘i offered you my hand’. it’s extremely marriage.

*there was also a moment in the hanger when ben was like ‘we’re one’ basically? he was saying it in the context of rey’s lineage but still...............the validation. one soul.

*palps was like ‘you live and die together’ which made me REALLY think of skytalkers podcast. obviously assumed they would both have to LIVE together but.... /deep sigh/

*blah this could go on forever i’ll add more later

edit #1:

* OH YEAH! reverse anidala was such a thing! why did it have to be SO reverse anidala though? X’D instead of taking her life, he gives her his own. (i know it’s not clear anakin totally killed padme etc etc but ya feel me)

* ok i hate that ben died obvs obvs but, taking that for what it is, it was very romeo and juliet. i kinda love just the imagery of it. like... the physical blocking/choreography of adam getting daisy into his arms, holding her, then he falls and it’s her holding him. the way she catches his neck. really reminded me of the smoothness of the bridal carry. and rey’s flexed foot in that moment of shock. love the body language. back to that kind of ‘’staccato’’ rey of tfa days.

edit #2:

*lololol @ LF trying to establish how ‘bad’ kylo is by having him kill a bunch of people in the beginning. it was just.... Hot.

edit #3:

* rose deserves better. obviously. she looked so good though. i like that she had some moments with connix too.

* ben called han ‘dad’......

*ben standing there, overlooking the waves, with his leG EXTENDED BEFORE HIM. wanderer above a sea of fog. wanderer above a sea of foggg.

* rey having compassion for the snake thing. we been knew. kinda nice to have it in there. obviously good set up for ~later force healing shenanigans~

* OH YEAH OH YEAH. i kept thinking about atla. i know people have been making comparisons to it from the start and i’ve been DEEPLY INTO those comparisons. but it was truly a blessing for me to remember.... there is a version of this out there that you love and that is Good Content TM. legit i can just go watch atla again to heal from this. omg yeah cuz REY HEALING HIS WOUND ALSO HEALED HIS SCAR. very crystal cave.......... nah but nah but - the ‘you are every jedi’ was EXTREMELY avatar-esk..... like, engage avatar state. i don’t like how it ended up being the same old conflict between jedi and sith - ‘good’ and ‘bad’ - OBVIOUSLY THE POINT IS TO INTEGRATE THE CONFLICTING PARTS OF SELF; THE SHADOW SIDE; TO TRANSCEND OLD DICHOTOMIES - but i did love hearing all the voices from past jedi. that’s some good ‘the ancestors are with you’ shit.

edit #4:

* i think the first thing we hear rey say is ‘be with me’? ngl i was like ‘pls be invoking the force bond’ X’D i am a clown. that was a beautiful shot though. and love that a version of the bond kicked in like two seconds after that.

edit #5:

*there’s that bit where reylo are fighting on the death star ruins and he’s winning and rey kinda falls to her knees panting and lowkey defeated and, not to be a shallow bitch but..... it was Hot.

*also dark rey......... was HOT. SHE WAS SO KIRA, WHATEVER THE FUCK THAT MEANS, AND I WAS INTO IT LIKE HNGGGG

*obvs i wanted rey to be truly no one. but casting jodie comer as rey’s mum ? ????? urgh, pefection, i love it.

*palps was so random i stg..... his plan was.... convoluted to say the least.

*also who was under all those hoods?

*the KOR just kinda... being around again was hilarious. no explaination required. the boys are back in town. ben facing them without a mask and essentially wearing his pjs? loved it.

edit #6:

*seriously though ben’s redemption outfit.............. /heart eyes emoji into the sunset/.......... you can see his collar bone.............. /cares about the important things/.................

edit #7:

*one thing i loved about the reylo was how Space Wizards TM they both were in this movie. it so highlights their connection by making it clear that they are each other’s only peer. i thought it would be a thing of ‘why is the supreme leader constantly interacting with/going after this girl?’ but it’s not because it’s so clear that they are the only two people on each others’ level. no one would dare question the fact that they’re constantly circling each other in a lustful murderous rage.

Operation Newsboy

It’s still Saturday, so I still made the deadline I made for myself! (it’s still around the time I usually post but still)

Also, actual plot this time! Yay!

Here’s the prologue, chapter one, chapter two, and chapter three if you hadn’t read them

Chapter 4

Words: 2,204 (it’s really because the newsies plot started too)

Warnings: uhhh child labor, child abuse(?) kinda not really, cursing, this chapter isn’t as good as the others

Editing: just grammarly because this is super rushed sorry

***#***

Barry’s Flash suit cowl hung behind his head, his face of absolute shock. To Wally’s own shock, there was something new about Barry: there was a scar running from the corner of his eye to between his nose and his lip. It was thick and pale against his tan skin.

“Wally? What the hell? Why are you in 1899?” He asked, running his hand through his hair.

“I’m here--I’m here with the Legends. What happened to your face?” Wally asked, unsure of how he felt about these circumstances.

“I’ve told you the story before,” He grumbled. “You know I don’t like to talk about it.”

“No…Barry, you haven’t.”

“Wally, don’t drag that into this,” he said.

“I don’t know what you’re…oh. Oh.” Realization dawned on Wally. “Barry…humor me. Where’d you get that scar?”

“You know how!” He said, probably a bit louder than he should. Wally gave him the just-do-it-you-big-idiot stare. “Fine! The knife fight over newsie turf, okay? Jeesh!”

“Oh, dammit,” Wally muttered. “I told you I was here with the Legends. This kid was killed when he wasn’t supposed to be, and he was supposed to ignite a strike that’d end child labor…We’re here to save the kid.”

“What do you mean, ‘end child labor’? That’s still a thing in 2017, Wally. Let alone the 20th century.”

“It’s the time ripples. This kid I’m protecting dies, then he doesn’t set off a strike in two days, and child labor isn’t abolished like it was supposed to be, in the ‘30s.”

Barry just stared at the guy he considered his brother for a few seconds.

“So…” Wally tried to break the silence. “You still haven’t told me why you’re here.”

“The goddamn Thinker,” he muttered. He didn’t offer any more insight.

“Would you look at that?” Wally teased. “The great Barry Allen, cursing like a sailor.”

“Shut up,” he mumbled and playfully punched Wally’s arm.

##*##

When Wally made it back to the Lodge(it didn’t take that long considering he ran there and back), the boys were all sitting on their beds cross-legged, mischievous grins plastered on their faces.

“Oh, no,” he muttered when he saw the boys.

“Oh, yes,” they all said.

“So why’d youse run out of ‘ere like that, eh?” Race asked.

“Uh…” Wally couldn’t think of a single thing to say.

“Youse got yourself a nickname now!” Romeo crowed.

“Speedy!” The boy who slept under Race, Sniper, called.

“Yeah!” All the boys yelled.

“Ey! Quiet down, I’s tryin’ to sleep ‘ere.” Finch said loudly.

“A’ight,” the boys mumbled.

And despite himself, Wally could feel himself smiling as he fell asleep.

##*##

Manhattan, New York

July 13, 1899

“Wally! Wally! Wally! Wally!” Wally groaned and rolled over in bed. There was a tinny voice shouting in his ear.

“Waaaaaallyyyyyyyyy!” The voice shouted, even louder this time. “Wally! Get your ass out of bed! That’s an order!” Finally, Wally stirred and recognized Sara’s voice from the comms in his ear.

“What?” He whispered, wary of waking his new friends up.

“You remember why you’re there, right? Save Jack Kelly, save the child labor ban! He’s supposed to be killed soon!”

“How long?” He whispered, shaking the sleep out of him.

“Fifteen minutes, max! Let’s go!”

Wally slipped out of bed, walking as silently as possible to the door. He opened it, then slipped out.

“Eh, New York’s fine for those who got a big, strong door to lock it out.” He could hear Jack’s voice, presumably talking to Crutchie. “But, I tell ya, Crutchie, there is a whole ‘nother way out there!” Wally stayed in hiding, not wanting to intrude on whatever conversation was going on up there. He looked around, checking to see if there were any nefarious people hanging around. But there was no one.

Jack’s voice cut through his thoughts once more. “They say folks is dyin’ to get here. Me, I’m dyin’ to get away, to a little town out west that’s spankin’ new.”

Wally’s jaw dropped. He knew that the newsies danced on random occasions, but singing? He didn’t expect that. He sat, knowing that the time assassin wouldn’t kill Jack with Crutchie around. And if Wally had anything to do with it, then he wouldn’t kill Jack at all.

“Close your eyes. Come with me. Where it’s clean and green and pretty.” Wally could hear all of Jack’s dreams laid out bare for two unexpected people to hear.

“There’s a life that’s worth the livin’. And I’m gonna do my share! Work the land! Chase the sun! Swim the whole Rio Grande just for fu-u-un!” Wally felt slightly guilty listening to something so personal, but it was worth it of he could save his new friend.

“Just hold on, kid, ‘til that train makes Sa-anta Fe.” The morning bell tolled, and Wally scooted towards the ladder to the roof. “Hey, Specs! Racer, Henry, Albert, Elmer! Get a move on! Them papes don’t sell themselves!”

Wally waited for Crutchie to climb down the ladder before he made his move.

“Oh, hey, Wally,” Crutchie said.

“I, uh, need to talk to Jack,” Wally said.

“Oookaaay,” Crutchie walked into the Lodge.

Wally started climbing the ladder, then had an idea. “Hey, Jack, I need to talk to you!”

Jack stuck his head over the ladder. “Okay?”

Wally finally reached the top of the ladder. He was at a total loss about what to say to Jack, given that he came up here on a whim. “It’s, uh, about selling spots! You, uh, haven’t told me where to sell. Or how to sell. Or who to sell to…”

Jack looked completely off-guard. “Youse…just come sell with me. I’ll teach ya the ropes.”

Secretly, Wally was happy. With or without the strike, he had an excuse to stay by Jack’s side all day. Suddenly he heard a slight noise, like a pebble being dislodged off a roof. Wally whipped his head around, but there was nothing in the pre-dawn light.

Jack was looking at him with one eyebrow raised. “Sorry, I thought I heard something.”

“Is that all?” Jack asked.

“Yeah,” he said and cleared his throat. “Uh, after you.”

When they walked through the roof access door, everyone was out already, in front of the Lodge, waiting for Jack, Wally supposed.

Wally was trailing behind Jack like a small puppy, but when he pushed open the front door, he did not get what he was expecting.

As soon as Jack stepped out of the threshold, he started singing. Again.

“It’s a crooked game we’re playin’, one we’ll never lose. ‘Long as suckers don’t mind payin’, just to get bad news.” Jack sang.

Before Wally could say anything, the other newsies joined in, too.

“Ain’t it a fine life, carryin’ the banner through it all. A mighty fine life, carryin’ the banner tough and tall. When that bell rings, we goes where we wishes, we’s as free as fishes, sure beats washin’ dishes. What a fine life, carryin’ the banner home-free all.” An unfortunate rich looking lady and her friend walked by, perfectly posed to get incessantly hit on. Which is what Romeo and Jack immediately did, of course.

“Well, hello, hello, hello, beautiful,” Romeo said.

“Woah, step aside, Romeo. Nothin’ more concerns you here.” Jack said, shoving his friend out of his way. “Mornin’, miss. May I interest you in the latest news?”

“The paper isn’t even out yet,” she said.

“Oh, but I’d be delighted to deliver it to you poisynally,” Jack said, stepping closer to the pair who was about to walk away.

Her friend looked like he was about to do something that’d probably get him a black eye, but the lady held up her hand. “I’ve got a headline for you: ‘Cheeky Boy Gets Nothing For His Troubles’.” She retorted.

Jack just walked away, still eyeing the lady.

“Hey, Crutchie,” Finch said, “what’s your leg say? Gonna rain?”

Crutchie shook his bad leg experimentally. “Uhh…no rain. Oh-oh, partly cloudy, clear by evenin’.”

“They oughta bottle this guy!” Finch cried.

“Yeah, and the limp sells 50 papes a week, all by itself.” Race added.

Crutchie looked slightly offended. “I don’t need the limp to sell papes. I got personality.” He stopped, and Wally had a feeling as to what was going to come next. “It takes a smile that spreads like butter, the kind that turns a lady’s head.”

Wally stalked over to an empty corner, trying to find an empty space to talk with Sara. “Hey, Sara,” he said into his comms.

“Wally? The kid’s not dead, is he?” Sara’s reply came quick.

“Thanks for believing in me, Sara,” he joked.

“Update? Did you find our time assassin?”

“No, but I think I heard him on the roof earlier, right after you said he was going to murder Jack.”

“Of course he was there. You kinda have to be present to assassinate someone. And since—is that singing?”

“Oh, that. Yeah, I think we’ve found a group of people weirder than us, Sara.”

“Hey, what’s the holdup? Waiting makes me antsy, I likes livin’ chancey!” Finch yelled.

“I’ll take your word on that,” Sara said.

Suddenly(and finally), the group started moving, to what Wally hoped was Newsie Square. “Gotta go, Sara.”

“Alright, just remember to be safe.” The mic crackled, and Mick’s voice came over the speaker. “Hey! Tell that little punk I want my dollar back!” Wally could hear Sara slap him on the back of the head. “Shut it, Rory.” Wally grinned as he ran to catch up with the newsies.

Much to his chagrin, they didn’t arrive at the square. It was a couple of nuns handing out coffee and biscuits. Oh, thank God! Wally thought. I’m starving! He made a mental note to either buy or steal--preferably buy--some food later, to supplement his speedster diet.

Finally, after some singing, dancing, and gymnastics, the newsies finally made it to the circulation gate.

“Hey, look, they’re putting up the headline!” Finch cried.

“I hope it’s bloody, with a nice, clear picture!” Specs replied.

“YEAH!” The boys chorused.

The headline was not, in fact, bloody or with a clear picture. It really read: ‘TROLLEY STRIKE ENTERS 3RD WEEK’. The boys all groaned.

“The trolley strike? Not again,” Elmer whined.

“Man, three weeks of the same story.” Race added.

“They’re killing us with that snoozer.” Finch jumped in, too.

Just then, two decently dressed guys wearing bowler hats that couldn’t be that older than Wally walked up. “Hey! Step aside!” they yelled.

“Oh, dear me!” Race mocked. “What is that unpleasant aroma? I fear the sewers may have backed up during the night.”

Wally figured these guys weren’t exactly buddy-buddy with the newsies.

“Or could it be…” Crutchie began, and everyone joined in.

“The Delancey brothers!”

“Hey, Oscar!” Finch called, walking up to the one with no vest on. “Word on the street says you and your brother took money to beat up striking trolley workers.”

“So? It’s honest work.” Oscar replied. Some of the newsies scoffed.

“By crackin’ the heads of defenseless workers?” Albert butted in.

“I take care of the guy who takes care of me,” Oscar replied.

Wow, it really is a dog-eat-dog world here, Wally thought.

Race got into his face. “Hey, ain’t your father one of the strikers?”

“I guess he didn’t take care of me.” Oscar pushed Race.

But before Race could retaliate, the other Delancey started attacking Crutchie. “Hey, you want some of that, too? You lousy crip!” He stole Crutchie’s crutch and shoved him to the ground.

Immediately, Jack was on him. He snatched Crutchie’s crutch back. “That is not nice, Morris!”

“Hey, five to one Jack skunks him!” Race cried indignantly, while Albert helped Crutchie up. Wally could feel his body tense up with anger.

“One unfortunate day, you might find you have a bum gam of your own,” Jack continued. “How would you like us picking on you, eh?” Jack turned towards the newsies. “Hey! Hey, maybe we should find out!” He turned back and whacked Morris in the shin with the crutch, and then spun around and whacked Oscar, too. Despite himself, Wally hissed in empathy. The newsies, however, cheered.

“Wait until we get our hands on you!” Oscar threatened.

“You gotta catch me first!” Jack yelled and took off like a shot.

“GO, JACK!” The newsies, including Wally this time, cheered. And then, inevitably, they started dancing again.

“PAPES FOR THE NEWSIES! LINE UP!” An older mustached man yelled.

“Mornin’, Weasel! You missed me?” Jack called at the front of the line.

“The name’s Wiesel,” the man spat.

“Ain’t that what I said?” Jack smirked. “I’ll take the usual.”

“100 papes for the wise guy,” Wiesel called to the Delanceys.

“How’s it going, Weasel?” Race said.

“At least call me ‘mister’.”

“I’ll call you sweetheart if you spot me 50 papes, huh?”

“Drop the cash and move along,” He said threateningly, but Race wasn’t intimidated.

He slapped a few coins on the lockbox. “Whatever happened to romance?” Race said wistfully.

“50 for the Racer. Next!”

The and the other boys went, making various ‘Weasel’ jokes.

Finally, it was Wally’s turn. He said nothing, just lightly placing a quarter on the box.

“Ah, a new kid, huh?” Wiesel said.

“He’s called Speedy,” one of the younger newsies Wally hadn’t met yet called.

“50 papes for Speedy!” Wiesel called.

Another new kid behind Wally with black hair went next. “Would’ya look at this? Two new kids in one day!”

A smaller kid popped out from behind him. “Hey, I’m new, too!”

“Don’t worry, kid, it rubs right off.” Race called.

Albert went next, making a crack about Wiesel getting into the movie business.

The new kid caused some ruckus about being short a paper, which Jack quickly resolved.

Within seconds, Jack was already trying to strike a deal with the two boys.

Wally was only half-listening, really. He was looking around the square for someone who didn’t belong. So far, the most suspicious people he saw were the Delancey brothers and Wiesel, but they didn’t exactly scream ‘time assassin’. Plus they already had a history with the boys, so…jackasses? Totally. Inter-time period assassins? No.

“Newsies! Hit the streets! The sun is up, the headline stinks, and this kid ain’t getting any younger!” Jack yelled.

Then Wally, Jack, and the two new kids, Davey and Les, headed out into the streets, gearing up for a day of selling.
