grandad I'm so very concerned now, that's a lot of caffeine—

least it's not energy drinks. dread to think of you chugging Monster

hey! don't diss it, I made sure it was the best flavour for you!

. . . see now I want to try and get you some 👀

✌️😔

how he'd gone back in time, gordon would never know. but there he was, seemingly on his own. at least so he thought, until he'd seen what he thought to be his grandfather. " grandad! wait— is this after you've met me before? i didn't know you'd shaved either, looks. . . weird "

he can't help being startled at the tone from him, near jumping back. " well, technically i shouldn't be here, i'm not born 'til the '90s. but you. . . you d o have a family! you must do! seriously, grandad, what happened to you! "

the hell?! i thought those were points! 🤯

"hey! i'm thirty one!" then he stays quiet for a moment. just stares. really takes in his appearance. it's only then that dots are connected in his head — he knows e x a c t l y who he's talking to now. " oh shit. no. you're that evil one! mum told me about you! "

" it's more than just survival! it was . . . diabolical, what you've done! " he tenses as the other mentions his mum. " you've seen her? where is she? have you hurt her? "

" why's it necessary! the version of you here — the b e t t e r one — doesn't need to be like that, and he gets on far better than you! " he tightens his fist, but otherwise doesn't rise to bait . " you'd better not have. "

|| i'll update his bio iab, but i've changed Gordy's background a wee bit! basically all it is is he's a technician in the RAF and he calls himself a 'UNIT Reserve', not much else changes 💚

it's Conall's birthday today. best way to annoy your cousin? winner gets. . . haven't decided yet, but it'll be cool! promise!

|| i've returned with an angsty AU for Gordon (and by proxy most of his family) 👀
