A little more of Walter the awkward third wheel roommate might be fun.

REFERRING TO THIS

(Apparently I have a thing for harmless!Walter accidentallyjump scaring Henry. Also, I love this AU - oops. There’s another ask for this AU being posted today, I don’t know which will come first though.)

Eileen curled closer to Henry, the bridge of her noseresting against his neck just under his jawline. As usual, he was a warm, quietpresence and the show he’d picked for them was boring her near to sleep. Shehad her arms around his waist and he had an arm slung around her back, a heavyand comforting weight after a long day of many mistakes at her new job as areceptionist at the hospital. The hours were long and her boss was wretched.The only coworker she spoke to much was Lisa, and the woman was still vastlyshy with her.

With a heavy sigh she curled further into her cuddle buddy,who was watching The Whatever Showwith rapt attention. It was relaxing and quiet and dark and just what sheneeded, but just as she finally started to drift off to sleep, it seemed asthough every light in the room flipped on with all the intensity of the sun.Walter, who they had thought had been sleeping for several hours, was nowstanding ominously in the doorway, hunched over with a dark hallway behind him.

The surprise entrance made Henry squeak and jump a little inher arms. There was a single moment of silence while Eileen’s body shook with suppressedlaughter and Walter and Henry made uncomfortable and irritated eye contact. “Walter…”

“We’re out of lightbulbs.” Walter spoke in his usual softtone and Eileen wheezed, burying her face in Henry’s shoulder. He was stillbreathing a little faster from the scare. “You should buy some.” There wasanother short pause. “It’s your turn.”

Henry was squinting at him from the couch, the talkingcoming from the TV a background noise, as he shook his head and looked over hisroommate. “Y-… uh… Yeah… O-okay…”

“Okay.” Walter turned around and headed back to his room at theend of the hall. When they heard the door click, Eileen couldn’t stop herselffrom snickering out loud. Henry stood up with a sigh to turn off the lightWalter had left on and she buried her face in her hands, giggling loudly,unable to control herself.

We barely know about teen Walter... So, any headcannons for that time of his life?

Not a listedheadcanon thing, because I really don’t have many. It was a rough era of hislife. I know it’s implied he was homeless and extremely lonely. Any form ofkindness had a profound (yet negative, in a way, I suppose) effect on him.Walter doesn’t think much about these days, other than that they were long andfelt pointless. He wasn’t the child who was just learning about the 21Sacraments and he wasn’t the adult working hard to achieve them. He was stuckin between, still probably learning, studying, obsessing. Maybe making plans,but none of it really stuck with him. It felt like long years for him and hehated them, simply for the fact that he wasn’t acting.

Does that make sense to you? He was a miserable boy, but hecould act any part he needed to as he waited for the right time to come. Hisfriend or whatever at the college said he hadn’t really thought of walter assomeone who would murder children… But then again, no one really knew the quietkid very well at all. He was closed off and wanted it that way. Becauseanything else scared him.

Walter sitting in the rain as a prompt!

(Dude. It’s rain. I had to.)

The last thing he remembers is his Receiver of Wisdomstanding over him with a pistol pointing straight between his eyes. Henry hadsurprised him with a burst of will, unrelenting determination, as he skeweredGod and destroyed all hope that Walter had of returning to his mother. Hisreceiver was powerful, more powerful than Walter could have anticipated fromthe quiet and unassuming man.

It’s the memory of the quiet fire burning from the insideout of Henry’s soul that finally wakes Walter. He’s lying on a bench out in open air and it’s cold. Very cold. He blinks his eyes and sitsup, gripping the back of the seat for support as the world swims into viewaround him. He thinks he’s in Silent Hill, but can’t place where.

The distant sound of grunts and the unnatural shuffles tellhim he’s in the Other World, but where abouts, he cannot say.

When the rain starts, it startles him. A crash of lightningand the sky darkens immediately, the very colors around him change into morevivid versions of themselves and instantly, he’s drenched.

He’s sitting in the rain, on an unknown street in the middleof Silent Hill, but the strangest thing to him… was that he was completelyunharmed. Free from any pain, any stab (chop) wounds, any gun shots or otherbruises and cuts. His hair is matted down onto his face and neck and he feels…nothing. Nothing at all.

Not even angry.

There’s a large corpse-like monster that walks by him. It’stall and its gaping mouth makes choking noises when it sees him. He stares atit, unmoved. The thing seems to decide that Walter isn’t a problem it shouldhave to deal with and begins to walk again, away from him. The sound of therain pounding against the buildings, ground and trees, along with the shuffleof the monster’s feet, hide the sound of the axe wielding prisoner that tiptoes towards the creature quick enough to catch it off guard and hit it once inthe leg to make it kneel.

Then three times in the head, to ensure the creature dies.

When it finally does, it dissolves, the edges a burningcinder as it ceases to exist.

The man looks over to Walter, who is watching him backthrough the hair that has partially obscured his eyes now. They’re both soakedto the bone and the man is trembling as he looks him over and says somethingthat Walter doesn’t quite catch.

He closes his eyes and gives a small smile to the sky,thanking The Mother for his new Receiver.

more roommate walter with henry and eileen and the tone is memes?

REFERRING TO THIS  - I had two requests for the Awkward Roommate Walter AU, so keep an eye out for the other one too. I wasn’t sure what you meant by ‘the tone is memes’ haha…. I picked one of my fav memes and made it into a drabble anyway. Enjoy!–

Henry was rinsing the shampoo out of his hair, enjoying the heat of the water as it ran down his scalp. With his eyes closed and his mind on the simple task at hand, he hadn’t heard the door open and click shut or notice the quiet footsteps as they approached the tub.

It happened in a flash, suddenly the shower curtain was open and Henry stood completely exposed as Walter (fully dressed - including his zipped-to-the-collar rain coat and his large boots) stood over him with slight concern knitting his brow together. “Henry, I need to know…”

Henry shrieked and slipped backwards, but caught himself on the wall behind him, before quickly standing up and covering himself with both of his hands. “What the hell?!”

Walter looked mildly irritated as he shook his head. “Stop screaming, it’s just me. I need to know what to get Eileen for her birthday.”

“Right now?”

“I see you bought her a card, it’s on the table.” Walter was still holding the shower curtain and Henry had to grit his teeth to keep from shoving his roommate out of the bathroom. “I assume the day is soon.”

“Walter, it’s fine, you don’t need to get her anything.” Henry used his elbow to turn off the water and then grabbed his towel, quickly wrapping it around his waist. “She’s my girlfriend and you guys rarely hang out.”

Walter shrugged and took a step back as Henry hobbled out of the tub, holding the shower curtain back like it was a car door and Henry was a date to impress. “I see her often. It seems… appropriate.”

“Her birthday is in two days, just… get her a card. That’s it. Or it gets weird.”

The blonde looked almost suspicious of this answer but after a slight pause, gave a curt nod and left the bathroom without further fuss. When the door shut behind him, Henry groaned and ran a hand down his face.

If child!Walter and Walter could live in the same universe, do you think they'd get along?

It depends on what context it would be in. Are they both literally a Walter Sullivan? Like, did Wish House just name all unnamed kids Walter Sullivan like some people with name unknowns as John Doe? First of all, that’s kinda weird. Secondly: I don’t think so.

Maybe, MAYBE!! They could exist in a world where somehow, they are blood relatives. Literally brothers, let’s say, but had both been abandoned by parents at VASTLY different times. Walter is a grown adult, abandoned by teen parents who couldn’t care for him, dropped off at the shitty orphanage when he was very little, but legally, not actually abandoned, but given up.  LITTLE Walter is abandoned by the same parents later on, but more carelessly. They are older and care very little and somehow (because they know that other-walter grew up to be obsessive and scary) abandon accident #2.

Let’s say that’s the set up and Walter sees little Walter and someone for some terrible reason decides ‘Hey! Maybe having a brother will help Walter out a bit with his issues.’  And tells him about it.

First of all, I think Walter MIGHT kill his living parents (I can’t remember if he’s willing to kill outside the sacraments rn, its very late and I have no internet), denying that they are his real parents, because Dahlia had told him about his TRUE mother and decides to take little Walter under his wing and teach him about how to complete the 21 sacraments.

Let’s say in THAT situation, that Walter doesn’t use little Walter as one of the sacraments. Okay. Maybe he actually cares for his little brother (despite being REALLY OBVIOUSLY terrible with kids… *picks up little walter by the middle and carries him hanging over his hip without explaining wtf he’s talking about in canon*)   He promises his brother that he’s gonna complete the 21 sacraments and they’ll be a family, a real family inside 302 and the way his brother just gets oh-so-excited warms his really really cold and scary heart a little and yeah… In that context…. Maybe they COULD get along? Maybe, dudes. Maybe.

The King of Kong

The King of Kong    [trailer]

Die-hard gamers compete to break world records on classic arcade games.

Highly entertaining doc. During the first ten minutes you kind of wonder if it's a Christopher Guest mockumentary.

That Billy Mitchell seriously thinks he's in some way a good guy with a great achievement is hard to believe as he behaves like a self-entitled bad guy right from the start. He acts like the leader of a high-school clique that no one likes outside its inner cicle. To be honest, most of the people appearing in the doc besides Wiebe, and maybe Walter Day, are a bit suspect.

What I keep wondering though is how all of this was captured on camera. And apparently the director wasn't entirely truthful in depicting the events for "dramatic purposes". Which moves the doc a little closer to "scripted reality".

Much less surprising is reading afterwards that Mitchell got stripped of all of his high scores due to cheating. Given his behaviour shown in the doc that seems almost a given.
