I posted Eerie Crests on Tapas!
Dallas Margolin, Malek Solh and Ponnilai Rajkhowa are best friends who live in a quiet little town called Blue Crests (Oregon)
The thing is, Dallas has been in love with Malek since. Forever. He’d kind of rather die than tell Malek anything. He’s too drowned in self loathing to notice that Malek’s kind, always of felt the same way. Dallas was crushed when Malek told him one day that he was planning to move away from Oregon to California to go to college.
Malek, wanted to tell Dallas how he felt, so he took Dallas and Poppy camping inside a decommissioned National Park that was rumord to be haunted.. But things don’t go smoothly. They ended up fighting. Dallas ends up trying to guilt trip Malek into not going to college in another state. Malek storms away. He never comes back.
The local police department’s official statement is that, a few weeks after reporting Malek missing, they found a body that fits Malek’s description accurately, and just like that, Blue Crests’ missing boy is case closed.
Dallas has always had a “fuck the police” attitude. He’s known to cause trouble throughout the town. “Seeing Things”, trespassing, and a lot more. He’s also very mentally ill, trying to find his missing best friend is beyond him, the only person who believes him when he says “Malek isn’t dead, the body isn’t his” is their best friend, and Dallas’ only remaining friend, Poppy.
Dallas insists Malek is still in the forest, and there is something that lurks in the quiet town of Blue Crests. What is it?

“what do we say to the god of death?”
“not today”
i find it fascinating that we’ve twice seen Shiro stare down a blade to the face and not even blink. and it reminds me of a discussion i had with @equineporcupine about Shiro, and an important aspect of his character: Shiro does not fear death.
i don’t mean “Shiro wants to die” because i don’t think he does - someone who actively wanted to die wouldn’t survive a year in the gladiator pits. i mean that Shiro isn’t afraid to die.
death is inevitable for all of us - there’s no way to avoid it - but most people don’t like to think about it too much because it makes us uncomfortable. we’d rather joke about it or avoid it. but Shiro… he spent a year in an alien prison with no realistic hope of rescue or release. thinking about his own mortality was inescapable.
there must have been multiple times in the arena or the labs when he thought “this is it. this is how i die”. there must have been multiple times when he sat alone in his prison cell and thought about the inevitability of his own demise, and wondered which particular alien evil would finally kill him. there must have been multiple times when he faced monsters and thought “there’s no way i’ll survive this”
but he did.
Shiro was forced to acknowledge, time and time again, that he might die at any moment - maybe this moment, maybe the next - maybe today, or tomorrow. he faced his own death so many times he stopped being afraid of it.
and now he doesn’t fear death anymore.
and it makes him incredibly powerful.
he’s powerful because he has accepted, on a bone-deep level, that at some point he’ll die (because we all will) and that he probably can’t control when or how that will be (because most of us can’t). but his reaction to that is to try and live the best life he can in the time he’s given. which is why he was still fighting back against his captors after a year in the Galra prisons, and why he fought so hard to survive in the arena, and why he never gave up.
and it’s why he can stare down a blade to the face and not blink. because if this is the blade that kills him - if this is how he dies - then that’s okay. he’ll die fighting, and protecting his friends, and he’ll die with his soul intact, and that’s all he can ask for.
Shiro just… he looks death in the eye, and winks, and says: “not today”

Hunk and Pidge encourage Keith to use a pick up line in an attempt to seduce Lance. Keith isn’t very good at pick up lines.
The rest under the cut!
