Tyler swallows, slips the lighter into his pocket, and watches Jake be happy, for a little while.

He totally didn’t pay for that lighter! Awesome job. :)
_EvenIf
That scoundrel!
SwingLowMySweet
Oh my God I need this like blood. I’m glad to hear SOMEONE hasn’t forgotten we still need Jake’s dad resolved *glares at writers*
_EvenIf
gaaaah I know it kills me.
SwingLowMySweet
It was one of my favorite mysteries of s1, what the hell he was looking for under the water, if he had any idea how risky it would be, if he even KNEW THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SEA MONSTER, I mean, it seems like he MUST have, right?
_EvenIf
I have no idea. as much as I don’t want to believe he’d take that risk with Jake RIGHT THERE, he was so committed to proving monsters weren’t real...
SwingLowMySweet
Oh poor guy. No idea he was on a TV show.
_EvenIf
People really need to consider that more often.
CalmMyLightsaber
Was Tyler trying to burn himself??
_EvenIf
oh who knows with that boy.
CalmMyLightsaber
oh and I loved this
_EvenIf
thank you!!
finnblueline
You’re pretty.
_EvenIf
your FACE is pretty.
slotohes
oh my god I so hope this happens
_EvenIf
me tooo (obviously) but I should really know better than to get my hopes up at this point. But the stuff they said at the con made me uncomfortably hopeful that we’re in for a good season...
finnblueline
Oh and fyi the reason you’re pretty is because you mentioned when Jake was sick.
_EvenIf
NEVER FORGET
SwingLowMySweet
You guys are crazy.
_EvenIf
you love it like candy.
TylerGirl93
This is seriously all you have to say?
finnblueline
lol.
Percymaxon
love this!!
_EvenIf
thank you!
All right.
I’m gonna start with the season 3 finale, even though I know I’m a couple weeks late (sorry, sorry!) and it’s been hashed to death by now. You know me. I have to have my say.
Guys, that was amazing!
That final scene in the warehouse. My GOD. I really didn’t think Jake was going to make it out this time! What’s happening to me?! Someone says that every week and I always give them a hard time, but I swear, I was pulling up tufts of carpet I was so tense. HOLY SHIT. And then Tyler kicked the door in and just...the feelings, you guys, the feelings.
So season 4 is set up really well, I think, given Evanson’s
double-cross (which I don’t buy for a fucking second, come
on, it’s EVANSON, there’s got to be something behind it) and
I can’t wait to see where they’re taking it.
And I love Jake, but we knew that.
Okay, in other, bigger news...
CHICAGO CON. Whoa. I had no idea it would be so awesome. Zack and Toby are so funny together. I love how close they are in real life. It’s like they actually have that whole history together. Which I guess in a way they do. Plus, getting to meet and bond with people I’ve already gotten to know online was cool, and I’m happy to report that none of you are old-school internet creeps.
So, the moral of this post is, get yourself to a con AQAP, and in the meantime, watch the S3 finale often and GET EXCITED for October. We’re in for a hell of a premiere!
And this isn’t exactly public knowledge yet, but I just got an insider tip (lol, I’m an insider!) about a guest star you guys won’t believe.
Here’s a scan of my drawing (signed by Zack!)

haha your journal. “guest star you guys won’t believe"? They’re going to be thinking it’s Demi Lovato or something. No one gives a shit about seeing me on the show, weirdo.

Hey, kid.
Thanks for the flowers.
And, holy fuck. I’m in trouble.
I was at my old job (in fact, I was handing in my notice, and let me tell you, nothing has ever felt as good) when the delivery came. Charlie was home and signed for it. At first I think he thought I had a secret admirer or something like that, because he opened it and read the card and now he’s all pissed because I didn’t tell him about the job.
And because I told you.
He’s never been the jealous type, but we haven’t been talking much lately, partly because every time we do he makes some crack about fandom. Like, what are you drawing, with this knowing look that makes me feel like
Ugh, I miss Con, you know? I miss being around people who get it. The fucking depth of feeling that comes from a show like this. The attachment to the characters.
And this is me, you know? I am a fan. It’s not just something I do, it’s something about the way I’m wired. It’s not like this is the first time this has happened. I’ve always had a fandom. I’ve always had characters who live in my head and mess with my heart and tell me stories, and I love it.
I think Charlie thinks I don’t want to get married because my heart’s too wrapped up in this show.
Do you think that’s true?
That’s not true. I love him. I just don’t know if he knows me. I don’t know if I know me. Holy shit, I’m a mess right now, and the only person who fucking knows me is this eighteen year old girl on the other side of the country and I fucking miss you so much tonight, Evie, shit.
This should in no way be interpreted as your fault. I should have told Charlie about the job DAYS ago, and if I don’t want to marry him I should have the decency to tell him that.
I don’t know anything about anything anymore, and if you didn’t read this, I wouldn’t blame you.
Seriously. Thank you for the flowers. So much.
Thank you for everything.
Love.
Finn

letter to Seth and Naomi
shoved under Gena’s mattress
Hey Mom and Dad.
Orientation week is almost over. I guess really it was
orientation four days but it felt like a week. Or year.
This isn't exactly what I thought it would be.
Maybe some of it is that my phone still isn't working-hopefully by the time this letter reaches you guys that will have been taken care of? I've tried calling you from the office like ten times but it says you guys are out of service, which I guess makes sense but...I'm just feeling really isolated and in all honesty fucking fuck you guys for being inaccessible.
I'd apologize but obviously I'm not going to send this because you DON'T HAVE A FUCKING ADDRESS so I don't have to.
I haven't slept in two days. Everyone's running around having
this great time and making friends and oh my god let's go to the diner!! and I guess living in dorms and shit is really exciting for them or something, and everyone said I would have so much more freedom here than I did in boarding school and I'm not actually sure those pe
And maybe Alanah was right. Maybe I'm part of the problem.
I really did think I was some big deal for getting in here, and I guess I expected to get that slapped out of me pretty quickly, but no, everyone else is patting themselves on the back for getting in here and the upperclassmen are here now too and it's exactly the same thing. Everyone knows you got into Oakmoor. What the fuck are you BRAGGING about?
Tell me it's too early to hate this.
Tell me I'm being stupid.
Tell me I was just expecting too much.
Tell me I was an idiot for taking an acting class and thinking no one would recognize me, or thinking my fucking professor wouldn't recognize me and point me out to the entire class and then hand me a letter the second day of class telling me she can tell I have an attitude about my acting and think I'm better than everyone and I'm just here to show off and she won't indulge me.
Tell me I was an idiot to think the guy whose phone I borrowed wouldn't read my texts and sing the fucking Up Below theme song at me every time I walk by.
Tell me I was an idiot for thinking I could go to a bonfire and be totally fine with it and not have to stare at people to make sure they see the fire too and that it's real real real until someone notices and calls me creepy and then flirts with some other girl by threatening to push her in.
