Apocalypse Boy

sassy ol mAN

Klaus: I am straight-up depressed. Ben’s been doing his best to cheer me up. He gave me this sticker this morning just for waking up.

Diego: Ew, it’s like you’re dating your teacher.

Klaus: I know, it’s so hot.

Word of the Day: терапевт (Day 2)

терапевт /tʲɪrɐˈpʲeft/ noun, general – physician, general practitioner

У кабинета терапевта собралась очередь. A queue gathered at the therapist’s office.

Please note therapist in Russian would be психотерапевт, without that психо-part, it is just a GP.   

This is the Day Two of the handwriting challenge. Join us if you haven’t yet!  Here is more info about the challenge. Here is the Day 1 word.

For those saying Vanya now has to be trans or go by he/they (and I want to make it clear if thats what they decide to do then all for it!), let Elliot himself and the writers decide if thats what they want for the character. Elliot isn’t Vanya, he is his own person playing a character.

Its complex, but I think gay and trans people have the right to choose to play straight and cis characters- we shouldn’t be boxed in our identity to only play characters exactly like us.

Diego and Klaus are a meme team of spiraling destruction and I love them both

So this one night, Ben stumbles onto someone's yard and thinks it his own. The cops get called, and bring him three doors down to his a c t u a l home. aka: the academy

Ben is covered is bruises and cuts. He doesn't say anything but he starts sobbing, like full blown, snot and tears mingling on his chin sobbing.

Diego and Allison are awake and they try to calm him down. It doesn't work, he cries harder. Eventually they say fuck it and pull Klaus out of his room (he was awake because like. fuck sleep.)

So they beg him to h e l p because they have no fucking clue what to do and they know that Klaus is the only damn person Ben will listen to.

So Klaus. Sits there. Holds Ben's hand and nods along to what Ben says even though he has no fucking clue what he is actually saying.

He hands him tissues and runs his fingers through his hair.

They don't talk. They sit. Ben cries and pokes at his wounds and keeps crying about how he got brought home by the cops. It's a thing-and-a-half.

Eventually, Ben stops crying and just, laughs. Because he got brought home by the cops and went to the same bar six times and barley remembers his name, and it's not funny but it is.

His laughter is hallow though. Empty. And it sounds maniacal.

Klaus feels like crying and tries to get Ben to got upstairs and sleep. But Ben keeps on insisting he wants a smoke. Changes the subject a million and one times.

Klaus has tried anger and kindness and exasperation. But it's not working, so he just, sits there, next to Ben.

Ben pushes him off whenever Klaus tries to comfort. Ben talks too loudly to even be considered sober.

And quietly, Klaus says that maybe Ben needs help. And Ben lets out a harsh laugh and says: "No shit I need help. I actually...I've been thinking about it."

Klaus knows Ben won't remember saying this. That he'll get up and start drinking again. But there's...a glimmer of hope. He has a glimmer of hope that maybe, maybe Ben'll be okay.

So Klaus listens to the birds chirp and sees the sun rise through his window, and he thinks about everything.

Klaus has hope; he won't let that go. Not yet.

He’s my fav!

I can’t wait to see Cowboy in action

Someone on Reddit found out who the stunt doubles are needed for, as well as any new character not from the main s1 cast, and what episodes they are in. Of course, I don’t think we can really glean much from there being a stunt double for ‘Number 5′ for all 10 episodes because I’m sure they use Aidan’s double a lot for things Five is supposed to do. (Like, he’s not allowed to be on set if there’s gunfire it’s against the child actor laws, and other things that I’m sure are actual stunts) but the rest of this is very interesting.
