___________________________________________
Met in 1989 and started dating in 1993, James' girlfriend is loved by many and also envied by many fans at the fact James has a girlfriend, wishing they were in her position. He never hesitated to step in if he saw people overwhelm her or talk smack about her, no matter what situation he's always there to be by her side.
Today is their three year anniversary and James has planned to take Y/n to the cinemas to celebrate, but allowing her to pick the movie. As they're at home and watching TV together, Y/n is looking through a magazine to pass the time before she stops on a new movie coming out, peaking her interest. "Oooh James, look!" She says in intrigue.
James looks over from the TV to the magazine where she's pointing with her finger, seeing its a horror movie. "Sounds pretty epic." He says as he looks at the infamous Ghostface mask with the title "Scream" above it. He smirks a little as he takes in the picture, causing you to look at him and knowing he's planning something mischievous because of that subtle look.
James hands the magazine back to her as he continues to watch TV, his hand resting on the top of her sweatpants covered knee and stroking it with his thumb as Y/n continues to read her magazine to keep up with latest trends and even news around the bay area of San Francisco as well as the rest of the US.
Later at night, Y/n and James climb up from the couch from multiple hours of sitting there to get ready to go to the movies for their date night, James wearing a black button-up shirt with dark jeans and combat boots and she wears a dark grey cutoff shirt with a short black skirt to go with her shirt. Once James applies some cologne, they lock the front door behind them and head to the car, making sure Y/n has her purse and James also has everything else he needs.
Once the two of them climb into the car, James pulls out of the driveway and drives them to the cinemas, resting his hand on her thigh as the other is steering the bottom of the wheel that makes her stare at his hand. He looks over at her, a small smile crawling onto his face as he notices her staring at his hand. "Whatcha staring at, babe?" He asks as his fingers draw patterns on her exposed thigh.
"The way you're steering. It's hot." She replies, chuckling a little before she focuses her gaze out in front of them out of the windscreen. James chuckles too, manspreading even more to tease her a little as he continues to drive. "I've noticed." He replies as his hand now wraps around her thigh, his thumb rubbing along the area of her soft skin as far as his thumb can reach.
As Y/n watches out of the passenger window, rays of the city lights shine down into the transparent glass, illuminating her face. James looks over and sees what's going on, his heart racing as he sees his girlfriend glowing like a multicoloured ray of sunshine as she continues to stare outside the window.
Minutes later, they arrive at the local cinemas near their area and James parks the car into an empty parking space, turning the key to shut off the engine. As Y/n reaches for the door handle, James is already around her side of the car and opens the door, making her laugh. "M'lady." James jokes as he bows and points his hand in the direction out of the car. "Thank you, kind sir." She follows along as she curtseys when she exits the car, closing the door behind her.
"Shall we?" James continues as he offers his hand to her, her head nodding as she slides her smaller hand into his larger hand. "We shall." Y/n replies as theu both smile at each other and head towards the entrance of the cinema, James being the overly gentleman self tonight, he opens the door for her again and she chuckles as she walks in, holding the door for him to walk through.
They both walk together to the reception to get tickets to which they get rather quickly due to only a few people being in front of them at this time of night. Once they've secured their tickets, they walk up two flights of stairs to get some snacks for the movie, but Y/n stands close, basically bouncing up and down. "Babe, I gotta use the restroom can you get the stuff for us please?" She asks in a low voice, busting to go. He nods "Yeah of course I can." He replies as he is about to make his way to the area, Y/n kisses him on the cheek. "Thanks, babe." She says before she walks to the direction of the bathroom.
When James goes up to the food area and he buys the both of them some snacks before he spots something he likes and he smiles a little to himself, pointing to the object that looks like a mask. "Hey man, can I buy that please?" He asks the person as they walk over and grab the mask that's in plastic.
While he waits for Y/n to come back after purchasing their snacks, he walks into the theatre and chooses their seats in the corner which is a particularly dark spot at the back. A few minutes later, she walks into the theatre and looks for James, wondering where he is and which seats he has chosen. "James?" She calls out in a soft tone, trying her best not to disturb other couples and individuals as the advertisements play on the big screen.
As she comes back up from searching the chairs closest to the screen to approach the chairs near the back, she feels someone grab her. "Gotcha!" James says in a muffled voice but deliberately made his voice lower as he feels Y/n jump as she falls into her seat with a light thump. As she turns around, she sees James' shirt and immediately knows it's him but wearing that stupid mask that people call a Ghostface mask.
"James, you're a moron." She hisses as she shoves him in the chest lightly, causing him to laugh softly and reveals his face as he takes off the mask. "Oh man, that was priceless." He says through chuckles as he takes a sip from his slushy. Y/n on the other hand is not as amused but can't help but break into a chuckle. "You are an idiot." She replies as she shakes her head.
Right on cue, the movie begins, the murmuring of the crowd dies down as the opening credits play, the sound of people sipping on their own slushies and crunching on their popcorn as Y/n and James do the same thing, holding hands as their attention is focused on the big screen ahead of them. As the movie continues to play, he looks over at her with a loving smile to which she returns as he leans in and kisses her softly.
She leans into the kiss as he slowly kisses her and he smiles into the kiss. "Happy anniversary, babe." He murmurs against her lips as they continue to kiss. "Happy anniversary." She replies against his lips before they pull away, looking back at the screen. As the middle of the movie approaches, James moves his hand to her thigh like what he did in the car, drawing patterns on her thigh but he decides to get more bold, toying with the hem of her skirt.
He slides his hand under her skirt, his fingers slowly slipping underneath her panties but before he can do anything else, Y/n stops him by resting her hand on his. "In a movie theatre, are you crazy?" She asks in a low whisper, hoping that no one looks their way even though it's just the two of them in the row. "No one will see us. They're all focused on the movie." He replies as his fingers push her panties to the side, two of his fingers finding her folds and begin to slide between them.
Y/n covers her mouth with her hand, trying her best to not make any sound as James' fingers keep slowly massaging her folds, unable to keep herself from opening her legs more. As he finds her opening his fingers slowly slide inside of her, immediately finding her g-spot and brushing his fingers against it, causing her to gasp against the palm of her hand as quiet as she can. Her eyes dart around to make sure that they're not being watched as she moves her hand over the crotch of his pants and begins to palm him through his jeans, his cock immediately growing hard under her touch in his jeans. He groans quietly but quickly closes his mouth to keep quiet as they pleasure each other.
"Teasing little shit." He whispers but he's only messing around as he keeps his composure as he continues to slide his fingers in and out of her opening. "You're the one to talk." Y/n replies in the same level of tone as she keeps palming him.
He slides his hand out of her skirt and grabs her hand off his crotch, leaning closer to her as he rests his hand on the side of her neck. "Finger yourself for me." He says in a quiet tone as he moves a bit closer and begins to suck on the side of her neck to get her more wet.
She nods, complying as she moves her own hand underneath her panties and continues what he started, her fingers working herself at the same pace he was doing to her. As James hears her soft moans, he smirks against her neck, his cock hardening even more as he hears her. "That's my girl." He says in a deep husky tone as his tongue helps his lips kiss her neck, making out with her neck as he listens to the soft sounds she makes.
A few minutes have passed, and James finally pulls away from her neck to which Y/n stops herself as James unbuckles his belt and slides it off, the metal clinking softly as it hits the ground but no one is aware of the foreplay happening behind them as they're focused on the movie. He unzips his jeans and slides them down, his underwear barely containing his boner as he gently pulls her onto his lap and pulls her down into a kiss.
When she kisses him back, he pushes his tongue into her mouth just to make out with her for a while and she does the same thing, their tongues sliding against each other's sensually as Y/n begins to unbutton his shirt just enough for it to be open as he slides one of his hands underneath her top and begins to play with one of her breasts. As he does so, he feels her nipple harden from arousal and she pulls away to lean down and kiss his neck.
He closes his eyes and keeps his sounds quiet as he continues to play with her breast, his thumb caressing her nipple as he uses his free hand to reach into his underwear and lets his cock springs free out of the contrapment of clothing. He removes his hand from her shirt and he slides them both underneath her skirt, slowly pulling her panties down to her ankles as he holds onto his hard cock and helps her lower herself onto it.
Y/n moans softly as she feels James' hard cock slide into her warmth perfectly, her hands moving to his shoulders for balance. James groans too, his hands moving to her waist to help her adjust to his size before he begins to slowly rock her, his cock grazing her g-spot over and over as she shifts on top of him.
As they try their best to keep their noises down, she sees that James has the mask back on, making her roll her eyes playfully. "Haven't had it for an hour and yet you've worn it longer than we've been watching the movie." Y/n jokes as she hears James chuckle underneath the mask.
"It turns you on though." He jokes as well. "Partly." She smirks as she pulls the mask up only enough to see his mouth before look leaning down and kissing him, another make out session starting as she rides him harder and faster. They both groan quietly, swallowing each other's moans and groans as he helps her move quicker on his cock, feeling her walls holding him inside of her.
As time passes, James takes off his mask, his lips parted and his eyes are closed before he looks up at her, her face showing the same amount of pleasure as his own. He groans deeply as he feels his cock twitch. "Oh fuck..." He stammers as he holds her waist tightly, his orgasm hitting him hard as he lets himself cum inside of her. Y/n's orgasm soon follows as she holds onto him as she lets herself cum as well.
"Oh Christ." She whines a little as she feels herself unclench from around his cock, a soft chuckle coming from James as he looks around, looking back at her with an 'i told you so' look. "Told you we wouldn't get caught." He says to her as he runs his fingers through her hair to fix it up.
"Yeah yeah you got what you wanted." She says before they look back at the screen to see the credits begin to roll, causing them both to immediately scramble off of each other and fix their clothes.
Right on time, the lights come back on just in time for them to look presentable as people begin to make their way from their seats and walk out of the exit. James sighs and leans back in the chair before standing up to exit as well with her. "Close call." He says as he holds her hand. "Yeah. It was." Y/n replies as they exit the theatre, the mask in James' hand.
An abandoned structure lies up ahead, a gas station in the middle of nowhere, right beside the street, which is now covered in vines, broken beyond recognition.
The gas station, from the windows, seems to still have some supplies left, even if its noticeable that its not in the best shape.
It would serve to feed some mouths, and considering Wasabi is alone, he might be able to feed himself for days. But if he decides to grab the food is for him to decide.
Oh.
He wipes his eyes with his hand, shaking heavily. This was...pathetic, wasn't it? He really needed to suck it up. Not because it wasn't truth, but because the longer he's like this the more likely he is to do stupid shit—which, now that that's mentioned—is something he's very well going to do.
He stares into the gas station, thinking about home. Thinking about when his mom used to take him on weekends or when he just had a long day after school to as little reward for making it. He missed his mom, dearly. He ignored all of her flaws; her glaring issues with peculiarity, arguing through the walls at three in the morning and lies about a stable marriage, truly loving her husband as she said she did. All he could think about her was the good things, which was a first for him.
He noticed the supplies, felt hunger slap him in the face and stomach. He hadn't actually eaten anything good for...a long while. It was dark out, and no one appeared to be inside...ignoring the vines and signs that he'd usually take as danger, he decided that he'd go in. He needed to have something to feel better. Maybe there was something sweet in here that...wasn't expired.
Who knew how late it was. One in the morning? That's what Wasabi assumed. Was he just gonna go into here and hope that there's edible things? No, what is he thinking, he can see them. Who cares if they're expired, it's better than thinking you'll die to poison eating random berries you foraged.
He didn't dare turn his camera on or make a comment. He went over to the door, wherever it may be, and pushed on it, leading it to open.
TW⚠️: slightly suggestive, gojo is being gojo, slight manipulation (if you squint), and improper use of curse technique amplification: blue
a/n: im gonna go all the way up! stop hiding!!!!! you hiding forever!!! GEGE when I catch you gege‼️gege when I catch you gege‼️ this has not been proofread
1. what you see, i see
2. where you go, i go
3. you know i adore you
4. i'm crazier for you
To say she was intimidated was an understatement. Satoru had decided that his birthday would be held at his family estate. He had only given her an address when he skipped off grinning ear to ear. Gojo Satoru's family estate was huge. Bigger than she could've ever imagined - huge.
She gripped the present bag a little tighter. She had visited every sweet shop to track down his favorite sweets and went to the video game shop so early in the morning for the new digimon game. He had incessantly been talking about it and it was clear he wanted someone to buy it for him.
Nothing she bought was grand. Nothing she bought would compare to everything he already has.
She wasn't good enough. How could she ever be good enough? He was a powerful sorcerer, who struck fear into every curse he so much as glanced at and he was paired with someone like her? It didn't make any sense. In what way were they equals?
She sucked in a breath as her finger hovered over the doorbell. Maybe, she should go home and change into something nicer?
The gate was pulled open. A fluff of white hair attacked her at the entrance.
"Yay!"
Satoru rushed at her with the biggest grin on his face as he embraced her and spun gleefully with her in his arms.
She flung her arms around his neck and giggled, "Happy birthday, 'toru."
She rested her hands on his shoulders when he finally stopped spinning her around and showed off the present bag to him.
Satoru's grin widened as he snatched the present from her hand and swiftly picked her up in his arms again with his birthday present dangling from his fingers. He was practically skipping his way through the estate and ignored the odd looks he got from anyone who looked their way, he kicked his room's door open.
She thought he would open his present first, but no, he was showering her with kisses on her cheeks and neck instead.
She really shouldn't have kissed the corner of his lips. He was already a hot burning fire who would leap at any chance to kiss her and usually she wouldn't encourage it, but it was his birthday - how could she not give at least one kiss.
In her defense, she didn't know she would end up like this - underneath him on his bed as he peppered kisses all over her face and her present sitting prettily forgotten on a nightstand.
"Sa- Satoru," she whispered breathlessly, "what if someone comes in?"
"They'll knock," his lips latched on to her neck.
She bit her lip to stop herself from moaning.
Satoru squeezed her hips.
"You haven't," she tugged on his shirt, "you haven't opened your present."
Satoru smirked, "I'm opening it right now."
His lips trailed up from her neck back to her face as he assaulted her with kisses again.
She giggled, "Satoru!" She gently pushed at his face, "Stop! I should be the one showering you with kisses today."
He grinned, his eyes sparkling with joy behind his glasses. He rolled off of her and leaned his cheek on his hand, "Go on then."
She gently cupped his cheek and softly rubbed her thumb on his soft skin. He leaned against her palm with a hum as his arms moved to wrap around her waist, pulling her closer to him. She pushed his glasses up from his face so she could see his brilliant blue eyes.
Satoru was beautiful. So beautiful.
"I'm waiting," He sang.
She placed a light kiss on his cheek, "How rude," a kiss on his forehead, "of me," a lighter much gentler kiss on his eyelids - his eyes were sensitive after all, "to keep," a kiss on his nose, "my birthday boy," then she grazed her lips against his, "waiting."
Satoru leaned in, but she leaned away from his lips with a smirk dancing on hers.
He absentmindedly chased her, his gaze fixated on her mouth, he whined, "Waiting for months and months and months."
She wrapped her arms around his neck, "I think I've kept you waiting long enough," she ran her fingers through his soft hair, "no?"
"Most definitely."
A sharp tug pulled her into him and crashed their lips together. The pulling sensation stopped as soon as their lips touched and all she could focus on, was on how soft Satoru's lips were on hers. Everything was so plush and warm and soft, even after months of waiting and Satoru being more than a little eager, he was still holding and kissing her so gently. The initial roughness was gone, replaced with heaven.
He was heaven.
Why did she wait so long to finally kiss him? Why did she wait at all that night? Or in the morning, when he was still bloody and he had leaned in to kiss her before he left, why did she stop him then?
They were soulmates. This was always going to happen. The universe would've thrusted them together one way or another, even if she had carried on with her plan to leave Japan and go to school abroad. An invisible string would've always tied her back to him - drawing her to him and him to her.
They were magnetic.
They were inevitable.
They parted and gasped for air. For a split moment her eyes were closed, she could see herself through his gaze - rosy cheeks and smiling, before she opened her eyes to look at him mirroring her expression.
Delighted, she leaned in to kiss him again, but Satoru leaned back, "I'm your boyfriend now, right?" He rubbed their noses together playfully, "For real, real?"
She moved to cup his cheeks with both of her hands, "Always were, 'toru."
Another harsh pull overcame her body as she was pulled impossibly closer to him - Blue, she realized, he was using blue.
She pecked his lips and giggled, "I'm not going anywhere. You don't have to use your curse technique."
Satoru deepened their kiss, "Just making sure, my girl stays near me today." He smiled against her lips, "I get to since it's my birthday and all."
"Don't spoil him too much," someone said at the door, "otherwise, he'll never leave you alone."
They both turned flushed red to see Suguru, with a soft smile on his face, standing at the doorway.
Shoko peeked her head out of Suguru's side, "Are you done?"
Satoru grinned, teeth and all, "Guess who's finally a taken man?"
Suguru and Shoko exchanged a look, "He's definitely never going to shut up about it."
"Definitely." Suguru nodded, "It's no wonder the universe gave him a soulmate, who else would be able to put up with him."
Shoko tilted her head at the girl resting her head on Satoru's shoulder, "You should leave while you still can."
Satoru let out a loud whine, but his soulmate stopped him with a chaste kiss on his cheek, "I would never leave 'toru."
He looked at his friends accusingly, "Yeah!"
They gave themselves another annoyed look - only she could tolerate him.
Suguru shrugged, "At least, I don't have to hear him whine about how he's not your boyfriend yet, and how he wants to kiss you so bad - "
A pillow smacked him right in the head.
Shoko laughed.
Satoru hugged his soulmate closer to him as she playfully smacked his arm, she said, "Satoru!"
Next thing she knew, both boys were on the floor fighting and just as Suguru was going to land a lunch on Satoru's face, his fist rebounded off an invisible wall. Satoru smirked as he extended his infinity to push Suguru off of him and tried to land a punch of his own, but Suguru was quick to react as he summoned a curse to take the brunt of the hit.
Shoko sighed as ______ grumbled at the sight of both of them fighting.
"You can't hit me!" Satoru yelled, "It's my birthday!"
"Like I care!" Suguru shot a curse at him.
Shoko grabbed ______ hand to lead her out of the room and shouted out, "We'll see you both there!"
"Wait - !" A loud smack, "Ow!"
She raised an eyebrow at Shoko, "I thought we were spending his birthday here?"
Shoko shook her head and smirked, "Nah, Gojo just wanted to get you here alone." She whipped out a cigarette from her pocket, "Geto and I crashed. You should've heard the way he was planning this whole week. It was sort of pathetic."
"A plan?"
Shoko hummed, "Mhm," she playfully mimicked Satoru's voice, "Operation: Love Quest!"
Satoru shouted from the door, his eyes shining with betrayal, "Shoko, you promised!"
Suguru laughed beside him and joined in as him and Shoko chanted, "Operation: Love Quest! Operation: Love Quest!"
She couldn't stop the laughter from bubbling out of her, even as Satoru grumbled and pouted like a child the entire day. It wasn't until he was satisfied with the amount of sweets everyone bought him that he stopped jutting out his lower lip.
He was all smiles then, especially when Shoko and Suguru retired for the day and it was just the two of them.
Satoru was quick to kiss her. Rougher than the first time, but still savoring every second their lips were together.
She giggled into the kiss, "Operation: Love Quest?"
This time there was no hint of embarrassment in his face as Satoru smugly smirked, "Well, it worked, didn't it?"
She hummed pleasantly and tugged on his neck to kiss him, "Come on, I got one more present for you."
The bakery wasn't from where they were as they quickly made their way through the crowd of people and walked inside the bakery.
The seats were hung up on the tables and most of the lights were off, but she made her way to the kitchen with ease. She pushed the kitchen doors open to reveal a beautifully adorned baby blue cake and in elegant iced letters: Happy Birthday Satoru.
Geto: you think he's dead???
Part 6: something's made your eyes go cold
Gojo: *in a sugar coma back in his dorm room*
Shoko: probably

Five Hargreeves would not say this? would not do that?
Why not?
I saw this alot and want to use this as a prompt into Five’s character study 🙃 so i will take it like a genuine question.
Whatever happened happens. We watched the show, that season 4 is what we got, everything in those 6 eps are canon that they gave us - unchangeable, but how to interprete it - is in your hand and your mind.
So if you want to talk, hello and continue. if your mind already set on stone about ignoring S4 then goodbye.
And this should serve as a feelgood post, S4 Five is not so bad or OOC as people said, he is just more human and less unhinge. A reminder we are watching a show from the very 1st season were literally built brick by brick with : Forbidden love, lies, cheating, turned your back on your family... Why easily accept that with some characters and be unforgiving when it comes to others.
( This is my little pleasure post for my future self to read and enjoy, i did not reread this post, might back later ).
Have some different perspectives to decide is S4!Five worth to be a good person to you or you think it only last 3 seasons. Tua S4 spoiler contain:
Use viewpoint to navigate to the perspective you want to read.
(This is not to sway any opinion about shipping, no, you do you.)
Viewpoint: Five is not himself because he would not follow Lila to the tunnel or take the train or he would do it alone?
Again? Why not? : Five worked for the Commision for around 5 years when Lila was raised in the Commision since 4yo. She is not his colleague, she surpassed his experience in working in/outside of time. So believed in someone with much more experience and let they take the lead is dumbtify his character? Really? Didn't it show his ability to calculate and work for the best results?
Viewpoint: Unnecessary romance line?
Necessity for the plot : Remember when Five killed robot mother Grace so Diego didn’t have to. That is a robot, in s4 it was Diego's 3 children, could Diego be the one to tell Lila to leave them into the unknown? I can say really ‘No’
+++ The mercy for Diego (ironically i know) is the burden they put on Five's shoulder. The guy really be doomed by the plot this season, the responsibilities and what they needed him to shoulder is so much that this is just a little grain compared to everything.
Necessity for the character : Going full circle since S1E1 "We only see each other at weddings and funerals" . The other Hargreeves have the privilege to grow up, leave the nest, build their own little family, now in S4 this is Five's turn to have that, he could have that this season is not the bad thing like people try to make it to be.
+++ Hey, that old man Five could't have a normal teenhood or adulthood, judge him or not he might never truly experience love outside his love for family and now he got swifted off his feets with love with a lover. Well, that is some tough shites you can't control with your mind.
If you couldn't give him credit to control his Anger is there any chance with the biggest hit like Love - precaution that is something you could catch in a matter of seconds then your mind and your heart got flipped.
Viewpoint : He gave up finding a way home and want to take a break, bad or good?
Now, the timeline of s4: 6 years in the new timeline + 6 years lost in the subway can't find a way home equal 12 years later.
Cue good guy no.1 to be our mirror: Lets see the time through the eyes of someone whose character was reduced to a golden retriever - good boy enough for you? - Luther. if you got bored skip to "+++"
Imagine if in the course of 6 years finding Sloan he got tired and give up. Then after that he met a girl, that girl understands him in all traumas he had been through and , 6 years later, over 10 years passed, he couldn’t find Sloan and he fell in love with this girl. He decided give up looking. Would it make Luther a bad guy?
+++ Five could never be as a good boy. His moral is lower than all the other Hargreeves because he was lost and left alone since 13yo with no human around to be a emotions moral figure, his love for his family is in his head for 45 years living in the Apocalypse but that is the time he did not experience other kind of love, even then he also gave up for an imagination love with a manequin...
So... he deserved abit understanding in this subway lost situation? They both thought they couldn't find a way out that purgatory and boy if that old man is not a walking stick of emotional starve.
And to clearly see the canon events so ones can give it personal meaning, there is a subject i think necessarily to be defined. The “family”
Family by destiny (big family) : the family of who bounded together not by choice but by destiny - siblings.
Family by choice (nuclear family) : The one you build with your lover
Cue good guy no.2 : I want to tell you a story about a movie i watched, if you got bored skip to "+++"
An 100yo man in a young body, by destiny created a big family, they stand side by side against wars after wars, the family entrusted their life with one another. Always got each other’s back, they are one big family and if any of them needed the others will answer.
The old man also lives for his destinied family like that, whenever one in danger he would come running.
But after what seemed like infinite times and infinite wars he lost some siblings in his family but he was still standing. He chose to say that was it, i’m tired, i can’t keep doing this, the family will always be in danger, they will always need me but I can’t give any more. He gave up his big family and come home to his lover to live a quiet life together with her.
Well, that is Captain America, he is always an epitome of the best good guy in the multiverse.
+++ This is a trope so generally used in movies. So Five would never ever EVER touch that image because he is a moral grey character, well, but give the 70yo soul man a little empathize is not too much yeah?
Viewpoint : Hiding the cypher
This is one big subject coming to say about his character. While the man was famous for the one characteristic - his love for his family.
Put in the context of time: Five got a relationship and built him a little family of his own for the very first time in 70years. Now in between bring his lover back to dangers with the big family of his sblings >/or < stay in a safe timeline to protect his lover, being torn is saying it lightly.
Have you ever been in the situation like that? And do you happen to be able to control time and space?
+++ The perspective here is that: he didn’t destroy the cypher. He knew they must come back, he must give her the way back.
But we are watching the show where Five is TIME LORD - Let that sink in, he could comeback at exactly the day and the time he wants. Why must ignore that fact, he can live with Lila for idk 20yrs more, then come back exactly that Christmas day. So he can ensure both her happiness and safenesses then take her going back in time to face the Apocalypse with his family.
He didn’t choose the dark turn, that worth 1 point right? Come on~
Last but not least: The abomination ending
Remember since the beginning Five is described versus now s4 he was built to be the character as :
S1-2 (21 days) : Saving the family and sacrifice the timeline or anything in the way >/<S3 (1 week later) : Give up fighting, want to travel and compensate for lost time >/< S4 (13 years later): Saving the timeline and sacrifice his family, his one true love, everything he had and more.
See how epic his character was supposed to change, but this is not something so simple that you can execute in 6eps. This need atleast 6 seasons + 1 movie to be presented enough.
Only thing can't be debateable is Lila, she is the best. I love her in all her broken parts.
So do you want to talk more about perspectives with me or go forget this s4 altogether 😌
