savetheearth | video/text; slightly forward-dated to late tonight

[ Anyone who knows Ellie will probably be surprised to see that she's posting via video. Though since she's an insular, cagey little shit the significance of this will be lost on most people.

Still. Video it is! The feed doesn't seem to be showing anything interesting at first - even disregarding the fact it's really dark out, it's just pointed high up between a couple of buildings in the dead district - but after a few seconds:

PCHOO. A small hooded figure hurtles through the air, aided by some kind of belt-mounted propulsion system and a set of twin grappling hooks. It's almost Spidermanesque, if Spiderman had a jetpack and a passion for extreme sports. Here's a handy illustrative gif!

After pulling off a couple of fancy loops that are clearly designed for the purposes of showing off, the figure swoops to the ground. She's holding her hood down to cover her face, but that doesn't do anything to hide the fact that she's super tiny. ~~And has a wonderful, beautiful nose.~~ She approaches whoever is recording the footage, holds out a hand and orders them to "give it here" before the video cuts out.

A few seconds later, a text message is apended to the footage. ]

If anyone remembers using anything like this, or killing giants in general, they should speak up.
If the "Vermaxi" ever do start appearing, a list of people who can fight them off effectively would be useful.

I hate you both.

Shh, baby, mommy and auntie Ellie are talking.

Mommy?

If he's Ryan's not-kid (which means he is basically Ryan's kid), then you have to be mommy. It's certainly not my job.

I AM NOT THEIR KID.

Your group of friends are the ones who call Ryan "bara dad" or whatever....

What does that even mean, by the way?

I looked it up for Octavia's fanfiction but I'm none the wiser.

I dont call him that. thats all Octavia and her weird fanfic shit. like its an anime thing or something I guess? Im not really into that.

Can you maybe tell her to cool it with that, by the way? Or try to. I really don't like the idea of a teenager fantasizing about my boyfriend and I.

I have tried. oh my god I have tried. all the time.

Google wasn't helpful.

How?

The images seem to originate from "888tinker8ell888" at tumblr, if that helps solve the mystery.

I guess that makes sense. I need to start wearing that Team Mom shirt, huh?

Also being an aunt is pretty tough too, you have to spoil the not-nieces/nephews.

I resign.

You can get out of the spoiling thing if you're eccentric or obsessive or really off putting though.

I know my tropes, trust me on this one.

I think I qualify as really off putting. Do I have to get more repellant than "I beat him up once?"

It needs to be a little weirder than that.

You didn't have to tell me about it.

I trusted you not to make fun of my painful trauma. YOU BETRAYED THAT TRUST.

I wasn't making fun of you, though.

And you didn't really make it out to be traumatic, if we're being honest here.

telling Ellie about it is the same as making fun of me and you know it.

and how the fuck was it not going to be traumatic when there was a papoose involved.

They're not that bad. At least you didn't have to walk?

its not like you had to walk either you were standing on Reiners shoulder.

On... his shoulder?
