i’m in love with all of reynie and constance’s interactions but ESPECIALLY book two and onward where they will have a little premonition moment and sticky and kate and just like “i hate when you guys do this”

this drawing i did to be nice to sq, he deserves all the head pats

Celebrating @sophieswundergarten because we all know she deserves it!

Where do I begin?

Once Upon a Time (Perhaps)

Do you like fairytales? Do you like hurt/comfort? Then do I have a story for you.

Dr. W Dex

Sophie, you know EXACTLY what you did here. Leave the boy alone! 💔 (but this is a beautiful fic and you are amazing!)

Innocent or not, you're not a bet I care to take

First off, a GIFT FOR ME (thank you a thousand times my friend) but also, the executives bonding? Them caring about each other? You know I live for that, 10/10, everyone read this.

The Door is Open (Except when you're in jail)

Justice for what the show could have given us with Jackson and Jillson. I hope Mr. Benedict gives his brother a good talking to for how he hurt these poor kids. 🥺

Set a course by the compass in your heart

I will never not hype up a character backstory fic and your cannonball one is incredible. The amount of detail you have put into this character is just amazing and I can't wait to see what happens next!

Her imperial highness the empress of all fowl

Chickens. Need I say more? 🐔

I don't wanna know I'm not capable

My personal favorite, I'll think about this fic forever, and if you haven't read it yet READ IT.

Celebrating @nobodysdaydreams!!!

The Oldest Siblings Okay, I admit this is shameless propaganda for S.O.S., but you GOTTA give it a try. I promise Bods will suck you right into the story

Treat Them With(out) Mercy Kate feels!! All the Kate feels! And a surprise guest who will be helping her :)

It Should Have Been Us Do you want to be SAD?? Do you want to be asd and then happy because Bods is absolutely STUNNING at writing the Benedict twins' together? You've come to the right fic

Who You Were Meant To Be Martina honestly doesn't get enough attention in fic, but this just about fills the quota all by itself!

A Joy To Obey Sticky!!! Sticky and an Ella Enchanted (obedience) curse!!! What more can I say, I'm enamoured with it.

I know it's late for this, but here's how I think characters in the Mysterious Benedict Society would have reacted to the solar eclipse.

Nicholas- obviously he'd be so excited for this. The world goes dark, he passes out with joy.

Rhonda- buys everyone eclipse glasses and makes sure they understand the dangers of looking at the sun

Number Two- complains about the traffic because tons of tourists are coming for the eclipse and her mom has a ton of weird conspiracies about what the eclipse means, but once the eclipse is happening, she very much enjoys it.

Milligan- happy that he's able to experience such a unique and special moment with his daughter that he will treasure forever

Miss. Perumal- educates the children on how solar eclipses happen and bakes cookies for the watch party

Kate- climbs a tree so she can be closer to the sun and get a better view

Martina- was planning on forcing the tetherball team to practice through the eclipse, but begrudgingly cancels practice to join Kate in the tree

Reynie- is excited about the eclipse in a very average, but endearing way.

Sticky- is fascinated by and excited for the eclipse, but then he saw a video about what happened to that one person that stared at the sun and even though he knows that won't happen to him because he has the right glasses, he still can't get the thought out of his head. His friends help him calm down, and he ends up enjoying the eclipse.

Constance- pretends she doesn't care about it that much, but she actually does and writes an incredibly beautiful poem about it afterwards which she shows to no one.

Nathaniel/Curtain- cancels classes at the Institute to view the eclipse and somehow turns it into a metaphor about himself. I don't know exactly how he would do this, something about the moon being the darkness of Nicholas that blocks out the brilliance of the sun (himself), but the sun is all powerful and shall surely rise again, I don't know, something like that. However, if this happened during season 2, he would 100% incorporate it into his cult's doctrine just because he can. He'd make that the day and hour of his evil plans just for the symbolism.

Jackson and Jillson- they also saw the video about the people who stared at the sun and they have made it their personal mission to warn everyone about proper eye protection

SQ- he's happy to be able to spend the day with his dad watching the sky. He later draws a really beautiful picture of the eclipse.

Jeffers- stares directly at the sun and suffers permanent eye damage despite being warned multiple times

Dr. Garrison- fascinated by the eclipse for scientific reasons, but takes advantage of the distraction to escape and begin hatching an evil plot

Marlon- does not care at all that the eclipse is happening but goes along with whatever Curtain wants

Captain Noland- views the eclipse as a sign of coming doom

Cannonball- is 100% on board with whatever conspiracy Noland believes

Number Two's mom- views the eclipse as a sign of coming doom

Number Two's brother- is 100% on board with whatever conspiracy his mom believes

Number Two's sister- doesn't care at all that the eclipse is happening, but goes along with whatever her mom wants

And I know I've been doing mostly show characters, but...

Crawlings- stares directly at the sun and suffers permanent eye damage. But he only stared at it with one eye because he kept the other one closed thinking that would somehow save him from being burned, so now he wears an eyepatch over his bad eye, but that's not the same one as the one where he lost his eyebrow, so it doesn't cover that damage either, he just looks like a mess.

The Rest of the Ten Men- think Crawlings is an idiot for looking at the sun and claim they don't care at all that the eclipse is happening (Sharpe lowkey does, would never admit it).

Seymour, the orphanage cat- continues being a cat. Is very confused when it is suddenly nighttime. Then when its daytime again, he shrugs it off and goes about his business.

Now I'm thinking about Rhonda's husband. Imagine you, a budding physicist, go to meet your girlfriend/fiancee's father and it's Mr. Benedict. THE Mr. Benedict. The 'pioneered 30% of the most recent and significant advancements in too many fields to count, up to and including physics' Mr. Benedict. And he smiles and offers you your favorite piece of candy.

Imagine you go to meet your girlfriend/fiancee's older sister and you don't have to read minds to know she wishes she could crack her gigantic jar of pickles over your head. It goes on like this for weeks. You get it. You're "taking" HER baby sister. (but, of course, you're not. you could never.) Then one time you go camping and you pack extra snacks for her without thinking twice of it. She opens the cooler and blinks. You've got her schedule - her alphabetical order food item schedule - accounted for perfectly without ever discussing it with her. Next time you go to visit she's hand-sewn you an entire wardrobe of clothes out of burlap.

Imagine you go to meet your girlfriend/fiancee's younger sister. She greets you with a poem about your line of work as a physicist. Something about how you're confounded by conundrums of a manner most tedious. You brush away the tension in the room with a polite laugh, even as you think pint-sized poet with a smile most devious. She sits on your lap for the rest of the evening.

Once again mad about how the The Mysterious Benedict Society tv show said the four main children’s pre-show traumas revolve around them feeling unwanted, abandoned, and alone and that this is the exact situation that led our villain to where he is today. And all of the kids have the potential to end up like him, only guess what? The don’t. Because they aren’t alone, unwanted, and abandoned anymore. They have each other, and they have a family. They might fight, they might make mistakes sometimes, they might hurt each other, but they will always be there to pick each other up and remind each other who they are. And then after setting up such good redemption and family-focused themes and plot lines that emphasize forgiveness, healing, and the best in humanity, the show was cancelled after two seasons and left plot lines hanging for no reason. 💔

[the-contraire-of-zugzwang]

One things that I did not expect was how much more disturbing The Mysterious Benedict Society becomes with age. Because as a child, I could simply enjoy the adventures and shenanigans. But now…What would it be like to lose my memory? To not recognize the faces of people I cared about? To die to my old self but be forced to live on, not knowing how much I lost? To be forced to restart my life when I’ve already lived so much of it? I’ve literally spent the entirety of my life laboring over my identity and I could just have all of that ripped away? With no idea if it will ever come back? And what if I become someone else entirely? Someone that the old me would despise? And what if I get my memory back then? Who am I? The person I was before or the person I am now? Literally terrifying to think about.

CONCERNED ABOUT THE FACT THAT WHEN NUMBER TWO WENT TO BLINDFOLD REYNIE IN THE MAZE TEST HIS FIRST THOUGHT WAS THAT HE'D FAILED AND SHE WAS GOING TO SLAP HIM

[the-contraire-of-zugzwang]

i love that technically the adults qualify as "found family but they're all criminals". like look at this wholesome bunch of nerds. they love committing grand theft auto, identity fraud, forgery, and more

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! My favorite part of The Mysterious Benedict Society was when they were all transgender :)

[the-contraire-of-zugzwang]

In French, they translated " the Great Kate weathermachine" by "la fabuleuse Kate aux cheveux d'or", literally "the amazing Kate with hair made of gold". And it breaks my heart not to have grown with the weathermachine because it's so much more badass and Kate

[the-contraire-of-zugzwang]

wait if they didn't translate weathermachine Kate, how did they do her team name suggestion of 'the great Kate weather machine and her stormy companions' or whatever it was?

It was "la fabuleuse Kate aux cheveux d'or et ses compagnons d'argent", literally "the amazing Kate with hair made of gold and her silver companions" which is also kinda sad because "stormy" kinda describes them well I think.
