turn over a new leaf !!

Bailey is right. He could never hurt another person even if he tried. Sunny knows this for a fact. He’s far too gentle of a boy, and after losing his brothers, such a thing has been harder for him to stomach.

Nilla, though, is another matter. She, at the very least, seems prepared to tackle the situation at hand. 

Sunny rubs the pad of his finger against his lower lip. “Neither,” he answers honestly. “Your best bet is to get what supplies you can and then run. Everyone will be trying to get the supplies, but The Career Tributes especially will be trying to get as many kills in as they can.” 

His eyes find Bailey, and he’s transported back to his own Cornucopia. To the blade that swiped across the back of his calf, almost ending his life then and there. He still wonders, sometimes, how he’d managed to make it out of that moment with just that gash and a few bruises. 

The thought of the same thing happening to Bailey makes him want to vomit up what little is in his stomach.

“I want you both to at least know how to defend yourselves,” Sunny continues. “You don’t necessarily need to attack first to survive, but if someone is going to attack you, and they will, then you absolutely need to know how to hold your own.”

The idea of having to fight makes Bailey feel weak, but he knows that’s the name of the game. You starve, and you fight, and whoever doesn’t get killed is declared the winner. He’s grateful that Nilla, at least, seems to know the right questions to ask.

All of this would be easier if it wasn’t his father teaching him how to evade death. If it wasn’t his brother whose place he took on the stage. 

thankfully butch hartman did that work for me

Danny’s Bad Ending has always been the transformation into Dark Danny that Clockwork helped him prevent. Losing his family ruins Danny’s life, but why is Dark Danny such a bad ending ( aside from the fact that Human!Danny is dead ) ?? 

Dark Danny retains Human!Danny’s rage, grief, and memories, even after Human!Danny is dead. It’s not that Dark Danny has no memory of Amity Park, because he does, it’s  that all of those affectionate memories of his childhood are corrupted by pain. One bad choice ( stealing the answers to the CATs ) leads to Danny fundamentally changing as a person.

𝐒𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐎𝐖.     innocence.    big dreamer.    waking up too early.     walking home.    being afraid of meeting new people.    slim hands.    always cold.    reading a book under a tree.    the smell of the forest.    missing home.

𝐄𝐀𝐆𝐋𝐄.     independent.      caring too much for others.    sharp looks.    walking through the city late at night.     the tallest and most spectacular building.    iron.    being single and okay in a world that tells you that being single is bad.

𝐒𝐖𝐈𝐅𝐓.     falling in love easily and heavily.    traveller.    the infinity of the bluest sky.    storms.    broken smiles.    forgetting people who used to be your beloved ones.     feeling out of place.    mistrusting people.    a fleeting romance.

𝐂𝐑𝐎𝐖.      feeling as if you have seen so much and as if you know a lot.    prejudging.    tight hugs that leave you breathless.    a grey sky.    serenity.    intelligence.    being left behind.    chains.    smoke.    the pride of someone wise.  

𝐃𝐎𝐕𝐄.     petals.     jealousy.     being tired of living with the same old faces.    whispered secrets.    marble.    sundresses.    white clothes.    the first sunset of winter.    pride in who you are.    learning to get over someone.

𝐒𝐄𝐀𝐆𝐔𝐋𝐋.    family.    golden light.    the sea murmuring in your ear.    summer afternoons.    caramel ice cream.    collecting seashells and other things and calling them treasures.    living breezy and carefree.    swimming in the sunlight.

𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐑𝐘.     artistic.    getting excited easily.    dancing and singing while you are alone.    looking at your friends having fun.    no phone.    being afraid of judgment.    spring.    a meaningful gift.    the first ray of sunlight.

‘ danny , i think we should hold hands. ‘ taemin lets his walking come to a stop , sticking close to his boyfriend as he looked around the carnival; the distinct smell of corn dogs and cotton candy seem to mix together in the air , childlike wonder falling onto taemin’s features. adjusting his scarf as a cheerful smile made way to his lips , he had always been fond of events like this and when he heard one was coming to their town; he couldn’t imagine going with anyone but danny. 

yet , he was his first thought when it came to going to most places. he pulls his eyes away from the crowd , after a moment , to look towards his boyfriend; the most serious expression tugging his features as if this was all life or death. ‘ just in case , like , penny - wise is around somewhere , y’know? and i’ll be able to protect you from both strange clowns and vaguely questionable fried food. ‘

fall is usually far from being danny’s favorite season. spectral activity goes up around halloween, and it makes being the ghost boy a full time job. he always feels bad for his friends for all the plans he ends up ditching on because of his vigilante duties, but senior year is going to be different. because senior year has taemin.

danny intertwines their fingers without hesitation, his gaze sweeping across field at all the festive decorations, at the groups of people clutching cups of steaming hot cocoa and apple cider as they wander in the direction of the corn maze and the artisan alley. tucker and sam are around somewhere, but they usually leave danny alone when he’s with taemin. in the distance, he hears the ghoulish, manufactured cackling from the pop-up haunted house, and he gives taemin’s hand a squeeze. danny always feels guilty that his hands are so cold, but this is one of his favorite displays of affection.
