Wait Wait Wait Oh My Godddddd So Zdog Didn't Trick Him With The Mask??? He Would've Died If They'd Gotten

wait wait wait oh my godddddd so zdog didn't trick him with the mask??? He would've died if they'd gotten away cause the noise meant the mask was busted??? OH MY GODDDDDD THEY COULDVE GOTTEN AWAY!!! Poor spider really does have the worst luck 😭😭

and that means Q actually trusted spider not to run away to a degree, there was never a tracker in it, he thought spider would willingly stay with him, omg i bet in his twisted mind he really does view this as a "betrayal" bc he thinks he was trusting spider brooooo

And then zdog's comment about rey taking the beating from "dear old dad" would Q have beaten spider out of anger if rey got away??? 😭😭😭

I'm not emotionally ready for the next chapter, especially how Q's gonna act. Is he gonna be pissed at spider and treat him worse or will he feel at least a little guilty and try to win back his trust?

Another snippet from Chapter 30 of Silent as Shadows... 🥺

🕷️💙✨

“You got me good, Z...” Spider said with a scowl, crossing his arms and glaring at the tattooed recom. 

Zdinarsk bit down with her sharp teeth, snapping a bright pink bubble before finally turning her head to him with a raised eyebrow and spat back, “Oh yea? How’s that, punk?” 

“You didn’t tell me it had a tracker...he even told me there wasn’t one...” Spider said slowly, “You’re no better than him.” 

Zdinarsk’s ears flattened back, and she narrowed her own eyes into a glare. She stood and planted a hand on her hip, looking angrier and more serious than Spider had ever seen before. Without skipping a beat, she jabbed her finger into his chest and growled, “Normally I’d LOVE to bust your chops, kid, but you can tone down that bad attitude because you have shit luck.” 

“What’s that supposed to mean?!” Spider asked incredulously. 

“The mask doesn’t have a tracker in it.” Zdinarsk hissed, “That alarm was for a ventilation failure, genius.” 

Spider’s blood went cold, causing an uncomfortable prickling to spread through his body. He’d listened intently when Zdinarsk explained how the mask worked. The maintenance, fail safes, warning signs...he’d listened to every detail. Despite what the squad might think, he wasn’t so stupid to take the risk of running away if he knew he would die from asphyxiation along the way. He knew Rey’ka would never forgive herself if something happened to him when they tried to escape...he had to stay alive for her now too. 

“It’s probably the dry air up in these damn mountains that caused it. Just be glad Rey’ka took that beating from dear old dad for you...” Zdinarsk huffed as she crouched back down and tossed her remaining gear into her back with no real order, “Least he didn't cut up that pretty face...” 

Spider was still frozen without being able to find a decent comeback. Like how it was their fault this all happened in the first place? That Rey'ka wasn’t one of them? That she was their prisoner? He couldn’t believe Zdinarsk was making him feel GUILTY for the results of First Blood. Then again, how was this blame any different than what he was used to growing up? Wasn’t everything his fault? At least to Neytiri and McCosker...everything was always his fucking fault... 

These spot the difference games sure are getting harder

Here you go! Some of the memes I’ve made.

We were ROBBED! We could've had a moment of Quaritch being soft with Spider 😭😭😭

Another quick drawing of a scene from the original ATWOW script. Aside from being a total monster to everyone else, OG script Miles is the biggest dad to ever dad istg

Spider isn't even lying to save himself he's just speaking the truth. If Meyer takes him, Quaritch is gonna go ballistic! 😭

So, did you manage to write more for Custody this weekend? Or enough to be able to post a snippet? I'm going crazy waiting for this 😅💕

I did! I can give you a snippet from very early on in the chapter though first draft warnings apply:

“In,” Meyer came up close and seized him by the scruff.  The barrel of the gun knocked cold against the side of Spider’s head, and his mind glazed out in panic as he was thrust towards the passenger side.  Meyer stepped aside to open the door but the gun was there a moment later, prodding at him to get in.

Spider got in.

“Don’t move,” Meyer hissed before sealing the door and rounding the car, pointing the gun through the windshield.

Out of the corner of his eye, Spider saw a light snap on in the house.

Ay dios mio.

Meyer threw himself in to the driver's seat and made quick work of firing up the engine and throwing the BMW into reverse, the gun jammed up against the wheel as they peeled out of the driveway.

Spider flexed his fingers in his hair, tried to swallow his stomach back down. "You need to let me out. He's going to kill you."

Hi I love Cabin in The Woods. Can we get a snippet of the next Chapter?

Sorry this chapter was too dark for me to feel comfortable sharing a snippet. I worked really hard to finish it as fast as possible though 💞

Content warning, this chapter features thoughts of self harm, discussions of depression and mentions of suicide. There's a summary in the end notes if you need to skip this chapter but want to know what happened
