The week waiting for Rogue was almost sickeningly mundane. Dinners with Kerry and Gabe, nights spent by the radio, engrossing herself in Johnny’s voice as if it would fix the aching hole in her chest. V had called twice. The first met with a polite reminder that Rogue would call when they had anything worth sharing. The second was answered with a stern, find something else to do, and be patient.
It was nine days later, where V was heavily debating facing Rogue’s wrath to call again, when her holo rang. That first ring had barely even finished when V answered, “Rogue, hey.”
“I see you haven't learned patience in the past week,” Rogue snorted , “Come down to the Afterlife. Got some info for ya.”
“Be there in 5.” V hung up before Rogue could even respond.
The drive to the Afterlife was the same as all her drives had been recently. Faster than it probably should’ve been, radio cranked up as if it would drown out the thoughts in her head. She had long abandoned the randomness of Morro Rock, having bought all of Samurai’s albums over her nine days of nothingness. She almost had to laugh. Samurai jacket thrown over her shoulders, Johnny Silverhand’s Porsche, and radio blasting every Samurai song known to man. From the outside she had to look like some obsessed super fan. Fuck them, she didn’t care. All she could do to even slightly fill the hole that had been left in her head when Johnny left.
AGGRESSIVE SCREAMING I DIIIIIID IIIIIIIIIT. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
anyways. here's chapter 7!! Things are ramping up things are happening I'm so excited
I was riding a horse the other day and the instructor riding with me said something. “Mango’s always trying to take the lead but when she finally gets to the front she never knows what to do.” I can’t stop thinking about that.
*gently takes your face in my hands* hey. remember that fandom is for fun. if you're not having fun it is ok to step back. if you're intentionally making it unfun for others it is ok to step back. none of this is real. go sit in the sun and smell a flower. i love you.
they couldn't have eddie in that scene where buck is angrily kneading bread because it would be buck ranting about his feelings while eddie nods and goes 'uh huh' distractedly while his eyes are Locked On to buck slamming the dough into the counter while a cookie is half-eaten in his hand. and eventually buck's like 'eddie? eddie?? are you listening???' and eddie blinks and looks at buck and has to ask him to repeat what he just said.
how they managed to first find correctly aged identical twin actresses in america with kenny choi's whole face, followed by finding correctly age identical twin actors in america with oliver stark's whole face is genuinely the accomplishment of all time casting department come get your trophies.
I love the idea of Maddie and Eddie being Theo whisperers because Maddie practically raised Buck herself and Eddie just understands him fundamentally as a person.
Even better if Buck is exhausted and having a hard time settling into his and Theo's new dynamic. Then Maddie and Eddie show up, Theo is suddenly on his best behavior and Buck feels like he's being gaslit.
saying "question mark?" and "however comma," out loud are game changers. punctuation on the go. and it's always the funniest thing that anyone around you has ever heard
