THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE RETURN OF THE KING @lotr20 20TH ANNIVERSARY | DEC. 17TH, 2003

BABY HEIST!

BEGINNING || PREVIOUS || NEXT (SOON) MASTER POST

I'm sick as a dog, but at least it gave me the time to stay home and finish this update! This special though is definitely going to be lasting through into the new year, but I figure I would rather take the time to see it to completion rather than try to stuff it into some arbitrary date. It was so fun finally getting to do Casey Sr and Raph though. I wanted to give these two some time to shine since we see so little of them in Replica.

“Danny. You aren’t a ghost. You’ve been listening to Wes too much.” Valerie pulled them both into a store, ducking behind a toppled shelving unit, sitting with a heavy thump. “I’d know.”

Oh. This felt awkward.

more chapters! more chapters!

No but Chloe went to Blackwell. She was best friends with, or possibly dated, the most popular girl in school. She was a known problem child who defaced the school a lot and was expelled.

LiS might not show it, and part of that might to cover up the plot hole of no one talking about Chloe in episode one even though they should have known who she was if they seen her on campus and also why Max never heard of her in the month she’s been there, but she HAS to been one of the most talked about people there. Honestly some lines about how much Chloe’s been gone since Rachel went missing would have gone a long way.

What bugs me isn’t that the students aren’t talking about her to Max in episode 1, as as again, we can just assume that Chloe hasn’t been making waves in the past couple months. What bugs me is that everyone on campus should know exactly who Chloe is and be SHOCKED that Max is hanging out with her. Max went from being closest to Kate, who lead a abstinence group, to running around with Chloe Price, who was known for hanging out with a drug dealer, partying and getting expelled.

Yet people are like ‘Max ran off with some punk chick I guess lol’ when the appropriate response is ‘Holy shit the quite girl just ran off with Chloe fucking Price, you know that girl who expelled last year for pushing someone out a window at a party!!!’

Day 13: Regret.

Danny, that’s not very reassuring. 

Okay @phantasmalbeans I wasn’t going to participate in Dannymay this year but then this kept post reappearing on my dash so I couldn’t help myself, so take this unedited drabble for what it is.

She felt her heart stop as the rings of light disappeared.

The boy leaned against the wall behind him, and blood poured through the fingers clamped over his chest. He’s a ghost, her brain whispered, and the gun’s plastic casing rattled with her suddenly trembling hands.

“I’m okay.” His words were soft, but strained, and she wasn’t sure if he was trying to convince her or himself as a steady stream of red streaked down the stomach of his white shirt.

He stared at her for a moment, eyes wide and lower lip pinching between his teeth. The blaster drooped in her grip and she lifted her goggles off her face, eyes burning as her stunned brain pushed past the unexpected transformation and finally realised who exactly was leaving streaks of blood on her laboratory floor.

“Danny?”

He swallowed, then took a shaky breath and glanced at the bloody hand clamped over his chest before meeting her eyes again. “I’m okay,” he repeated, as though saying it enough times would make it true. “Don’t cry, it’ll be alright.”

The electric lights were suddenly far too bright, and tears dripped off her chin as Maddie’s heart clenched so tightly that it felt like she couldn’t breathe.

She took a step forward, stopping again when Danny flinched.

They both stayed there for a moment, harsh breaths mingling in the space between them, and he winced. “Sorry, Mum. I’ll… I’ll be okay.” He pushed himself up where he had begun to slide down the wall. “Please don’t cry.”

His eyes, wide and blue and familiar, darted from her face to her hands. She followed, staring at the gun as horror wound through the spaces in her ribs and squeezed tightly around her lungs.

“Danny?” she whispered again, and he gave her a shaky smile, pressing both hands harder against his chest.

“Uh… surprise?” 

The gun clattered to the floor, and she threw herself onto her knees, pressing her hands over his. “Sweetie, I’m so sorry, it’s okay, you’re gonna be alright…”

He smiled again, mouth tight with pain, and clasped her forearm. His fingers left bloody streaks on the waterproof fabric. “You didn’t mean it,” he said, as the colour began to leach from his cheeks. “It’s alright, Mum, you didn’t mean to hurt me.”

A dark, nasty corner of her mind reminded her that yes, she most definitely had meant to hurt him, but she ignored the thought and concentrated on the boy in front of her.

It didn’t matter why she’d shot him, only that she had. Whatever her son was, whoever he was, could be dealt with later. For now, she pulled him into her arms, and lifted him off the bloody floor. He gave a pained whine at the movement and her heart clenched.

She’d fix this, even if it killed her.

As Maddie carried her son over to the bench, she kicked the gun across the floor, and it disappeared into the darkness beneath a shelf.

She never wanted to see it again.

Listen, in this world, it’s either yeet or be  y e e t e d. (insp.)

2011 vs. 2016/2018

So in the special edition of Journal 3 we learn that Bill was actually able to go into Ford’s mind and manipulate his vocabulary, and I was just thinking to myself that there was some great angst potential right there. I guess this comic works under the assumption that Ford says the wrong things, but still hears the right ones.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

P.S. This is also meant to take place in the same Better World dimension as this comic, and might go some way to explain why the Stans never managed to make up in that timeline.

Just a girl…not a threat.
