Thirty-eight || Duck, You Giant

Hey! I'm late, I know, my reign of updates has been shattered. Anyway, how are you all?

So sorry I'm late and haven't been replying to comments. Lots of stuff going on. But I'll do my best, especially since you're (probably) going to have a lot to say this chapter, because most of you hate Caelum a lot. Like, it kind of frightens me. But I digress.

Anyway, lots of stuff in this chapter, lots of hints and skirting topics, because that's what Jensen and I do best, so it might be a little confusing, but if you're asking yourself if it's what you think it is, it probably is. (that was confusing) (sorry)

So this chapter is dedicated to the lovely pineapplepanda14, because they are fantastic, they comment, they vote, and are just generally a very nice person, and I hope they don't hate me for carrying out their wishes in a possibly undesirable fashion.

Anyway, on that note, Caelum is pansexual. That's canon, and the announcement is to remove any questioning. Pansexuality is the attraction to people of any sex or gender. Learning is fun kiddos.

(You know, I read this tweet that was like "anything I say about this universe is canon" (cause it was the creator of, like, Gravity Falls or something) and he's like "Wendy's middle name is Blerple" (or something) "THIS IS TOO MUCH POWER." So I was like "ehehehe," and now I'm trying to think of something devastating to make canon that isn't relevant to the plot, it's just because I can.)

So that's it folks, hope you enjoy the chapter!

OH WAIT I WANTED TO TELL YOU A STORY.

Okay, so since I have no life and I'm in love with multiple fictional characters, most of my personality can be traced back to a TV show. So I have this habit of saying "that's rough, buddy," as a reply to people when they say something that has any negative intonation on their part, e.g. "Hey man, I woke up late and forgot to bring my bio textbook." "That's rough, buddy." For those of you who don't know, that's from Avatar the Last Airbender, after Sokka says that his first girlfriend turned into the moon and Zuko just goes, "That's rough, buddy."

So anyway, I say this a lot, nobody gets it, but then one day I'm walking with my (obnoxious, mind you) friend and he's like, "I have so much stuff to do. It's too much. I have decided to live as a hermit in a cave where I will slowly become bitter and green and begin to hate Christmas, and then one night I will take all the presents from all the Whos down in Whoville, only to have my heart grow three sizes in a matter of seconds, and then I shall die from this abnormal dilation of my vital, blood pumping organ."

He actually said that. He's as weird as me, honestly.

Anyway, I do my usual and go, "That's rough, buddy," aND THEN this one guy in a group of teenagers walking past us as I said that screams "ZUKO" and without turning around I scream back "HONOR" and I ACTUALLY SAID THAT TO A PERSON WHAT and I can't tell which is sadder, that my friend narrated his life story to correlate with the Grinch or that I'm such a impulsive nerd.

Anyway, that's your daily dose of awkwardness, I hope you like the chapter! And give Caelum a break, guys, he's trying.

WAIT I ACTUALLY WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT HIM OKAY.

So y'all had some comments about him last chapter so I'm hear to give you a break down. So Caelum, hey, he's this dude. Dude likes girl, girl sorta likes him but ends up choosing other dude. First dude is yes, heartbroken, but that does not give first dude the right to go all (pardon) batshit crazy. Okay? But first dude is fifteen, and that's a rough age you know? So first dude is going to make mistakes. First dude did screw up, and he knows it. So first dude is trying to redeem himself and whatnot. See, this is about forgiveness and absolution, not who's right and who's wrong, because everyone's a bit of both. So don't go giving him leeway because "oh golly, a girl doesn't like me back so I'm going to TAKE OVER THE WORLD," alright? That's not okay. But there is something to be said for heartbroken people, and it's that they have a habit of trying to fix what's broken by thinking with it. And a lot of stuff goes haywire when you try to think with a broken heart. So basically what I'm saying is no one deserves to burn in a pit of fire, but no one's wearing a halo here, either.
