“I have you, what else is there to wish for?”      

Finally, The New Year is here.

In the first teaser short story for Class: Ongoing, set between Brave-ish Heart and Detained, we get to catch a small glimpse at how everyone spends their New Year’s Eve.

This story is a collaborative work between Class: Ongoing writers @bazwillendinflames, @intuitive-revelations, and @tinybookgirl, with cover art by @liria10.

Some highlights from the Class DVD outtakes/deleted scenes:

Charlie’s mother is the reigning monarch of the Rhodia, the bloodline runs through her. Charlie described being her son as “like having a really strict boss all the time”.

Charlie’s father “wanted nothing more than to be a fisherman, but he had the misfortune of being born a prince. The duty of a prince is to marry the Queen.” Matteusz asks if that meant Charlie would have had to marry a Queen as well. Charlie says, “Yes… I would have. I’d almost forgotten that with all the… genocide…”

The montage in Nightvisiting lasts for the whole first verse of the song and has lots of really adorable moments from Tanya’s childhood.

Varun Singh is a dentist. 

Ram’s mom has a few scenes with Varun and Ram. Her nickname for Ram is “beta” (not sure of the spelling) but I couldn't find any definition of the word that worked in context. Ram points out that it means “second” in English.

Dorothea, Quill, and Charlie inadvertently watch a Coal Hill student get devoured by the petals. The kid was in Charlie’s history class. Quill looks disgusted at Dorothea and Dorothea looks utterly shaken.

In Detained Ram has a speech where he talks about wanting to excel and be “better than the best” and how he was on the elite level but now he feels like he can’t ever be there.

In a cut scene from Detained, April reveals that her mom looks at her like she's afraid of her, and April feels guilty about magically healing her spine, agreeing that it was a violent thing. "She'd accepted it. She'd created a whole new life and identity for herself, and I just reached in and took that from her."

This leads into a really cute Macsingh moment where Ram kisses her hand and they play footsie under the desk. 

Tanya and Matteusz try to figure out if the asteroid/meteor is telling the objective or subjective truth about there being no way out of the prison. Matteusz says something like, "I've seen belief mistaken for truth before. The consequences can be very bad." 

NOW FOR SOME FUN OUTTAKES. 

April: "I've got the brain and the strength of a King running through me. What exactly do you think you're gonna contribute?" Ram: "...I've got really nice pecs." *music starts playing and Fady dances out of there like a boss* 

Katherine Kelly in full Quill makeup, screaming at Greg Austin in full Rhodia makeup: "I have a feeling one day we're gonna be on a planet where you have something called a mobile phone and I'm gonna smash it so hard that you won't be able to text your boyfriend!" *both dissolve into laughter* 

Katherine also keeps accidentally referring to herself as a Rhodian and cannot keep a straight face around the Cabinet of Souls.

They interviewed the Arn puppet. It has a thick New York accent and talks about being approached on the street and asked if it wanted to be on television and “next thing I know there’s this lady named Kate with a scar and I’m coming out of her eye and a black guy with long fingers grabbing my face”. Someone gives the arn a cigarette. The puppet tries to smoke it but gets told he can’t smoke inside the building.

Basically the whole cast is precious and dear god why can’t we have another season PATRICK NESS COME BAAAACK
