Hey Prodigal Son fandom - what Hogwarts house would we sort Malcolm into? I feel like he’s the one fictional character that I could actually see in any of the houses. I guess if I had to eliminate one, I’d say not Slytherin. But still, he’s cunning and passionate and organizes elaborate schemes to take down bad guys. I can see any of them. What do we think?

Ravenclaw- fascinated with the human mind and death. If not Ravenclaw, then probably Hufflepuff because of how he protects Jessica and Ainsley.

why are all the bestest ships between a sad sarcastic dark haired person and a steadfast blonde with goals

"who's the man in the relationship" and "who's the woman in the relationship" = basic, boring, as heteronormative things usually are

"who's the brain an who's the brawn" = fun, dynamic, mischievous, implies that one is constantly scheming and the other devotedly follows

Febuwhump 28: You’re Safe Now

TW: Nudity

Caretaker frowned as they heard that the shower water was still running. Whumpee may’ve been known for taking long showers, but this was extreme, even by their standards. They put the cup of water on the tray, walking into the bathroom, the door clicking shut behind them.

They set the tray down on the sink, pushing a hair from their face. “Whumpee, are you okay--?”

The icy water drenched Whumpee’s hair, hiding their face. Their arms held their knees close to their chest, their back all scarred and bruised. They rocked back and forth, struggling to stifle their sobs. The sight broke Caretaker’s heart.

Caretaker knelt down beside them, one hand gently resting on their shoulder, the other turning up the temperature of the water slowly. Whumpee flinched slightly before settling again. “Whumpee, it’s freezing in here. I don’t want you catching a cold, so I’m turning up the temperature, alright?”

Whumpee’s crying lightened as they murmured something that resembled an ‘alright.’ 

Caretaker rolled up their pant legs, using a scrunchie to tie back their hair as they stepped into the tub. “Do you wanna talk about it?”

Whumpee curled in tighter on themself. They raised their head, eyes red from crying. “If you had been a day later, I would’ve broke,” they rasped, their voice barely audible over the water. “And Villain would’ve found some way to take it out on you. And I would’ve never been able to forgive myself.”

Caretaker’s hand cupped their cheek, their thumb wiping away a tear. “But you didn’t. You didn’t break, Whumpee. And I think you’re not giving yourself enough credit. You’ve always been the strongest of us.”

Whumpee didn’t meet their eyes. “Whumper was going to have Lackey take us into my worst memory. And, if they had...”

Caretaker’s stomach turned as Whumpee pressed their face into their knees, trembling. “Hey, hey, hey, it’s okay, Whumpee.” They wrapped their arms around them, running their hands through their wet hair. “It’s okay.”

Whumpee sobbed into their shoulder. “No, it’s not,” they rasped. “Oh Gods, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, Caretaker. I was so scared...”

Caretaker held them close to them, blinking tears from their eyes. “It’s okay, Whumpee. You’re safe now.”

Whumpee’s sobbing quieted as Caretaker repeated those last three words over and over again, both of them so relieved that they were together again.

I know it's non-canon, but it hurts so much...

Belated realization that I’m way too dang excited about!

So it was bugging me that the sleeves on Eda’s/Luz’s jacket changed length dramatically at some point, going from wrist length to elbow length and losing their patch, so I decided to chase it back to figure out when it happened— and there’s actually a reason for it!

We see Luz wearing the jacket in O Titan, Where Art Thou? as she and Eda head off to steal François back from the Bonesborough Police District HQ, and it looks just fine. She and Eda change into their stolen/mock uniforms, so she’s not wearing it for most of the episode. 

The next time we see the jacket, they’re both in jail, and not only is there a visible tear below the left elbow, her leggings are busted up too, suggesting she continued to struggle as they got the fake uniform off her and it got torn. There’s also a snag on the other arm, more visible after they reach the CATTs’ base. 

The episode ends with her carving her Palisman, knowing she has allies now. (You can see her busted leggings a little in this shot too btw.) And what emphasizes the fact that she has allies now? 

The fact that when Clouds on the Horizon starts, she has new, clean clothes! I feel like these were probably Amber’s, given that she’s the closest to her size, but I also saw the hilarious idea that they’re Alador’s old clothes that Darius never got around to getting rid of, since they look a lot like the pants/boots he wears in the old Bonesborough Brawl picture. But this is also when the sleeves get short! So someone carefully took off the cuffs, shortened the sleeves to get rid of the torn part, and stitched them back on, so Luz could keep wearing her mum’s old jacket which means so much to her without wearing a busted garment. 

Who do we know for a fact knows how to sew. 

All I’m saying is that Darius is a huge sap.

TW: STRONG LANGUAGE

Whumpee thrashed against the medics grips, burning them with her touch as they tried to get the upper hand. Caretaker rushes in, and yells something to them. “We’re trying to help you!”

Whumpee still fought back, refusing to believe them. Fist hit nose, and Caretaker gasped as blood dripped onto the carpet. As A tore away the muzzle, Caretaker saw Whumpee’s scar from when she tripped and cut her cheek on a pair of silver scissors that Caretaker had been holding.

“A, B, it’s Whumpee! Whumpee, it’s me, Caretaker!”

Whumpee just stared at Caretaker, backing away into the corner. “Who the fuck is Whumpee?”

Caretaker’s eyes welled up with tears. “You are. You are Whumpee.”

Whumpee clawed at the muzzle around her face, tears burning their way down her cheeks. Whumper walked towards her, shushing her as he held up a syringe. Two of the assisstants grabbed her hands, and she struggled against their grips on her wrists as they locked the clamps around her wrists. “Now, isn’t that silence so much nicer? I never understood the need for talking patients, especially ones like you. You never shut up and it just gets in the way.”

Whumpee hated being called a patient. She was not an experiment for some sick doctor. 

He injected the syringe into her arm before wiping away her tears. “There’s no need to cry. This is just a sedative to help the process begin. Besides, I think it’s time for you to say goodbye to those pesky memories of yours, don’t you?”

As Whumpee’s vision began to blur, all she could think about was how she wish she had told Caretaker the truth before all of this mess happened.

I’m sorry, Caretaker.

The relationship brewing between Nick & Adalind is sooo reminiscent of Buffy & Spike...

Spike and Buffy were mortal enemies at first.  Spike (evil vampire) was always out for Buffy (the slayer).  But after time he fell in love with her and eventually vice versa.  Remember episode “Smashed” (if not watch it) lol

And Juliette and Angel were their significant other in the beginning who eventually went from being good to bad…and “died.”
