Thomas: I turned out perfectly fine!
Newt: Thomas, this morning you thought a ghost made your toast.
Thomas: I DIDN’T PUT THE BREAD IN. YOU DIDN’T PUT THE BREAD IN.
Newt: So apparently the ‘big sad’ I’ve been feeling lately is severe depression-
Minho: If I'm really as evil as you say I am, then have the gods strike me down where I stand.
*Lightning hits him*
Minho: Ha! Nice try, jackass! Next time, give it your A-game!
ok but think about it,, minho ran three years in the maze.
meaning he had a first day of running. a first week. a first month. a first year.
so,, imagine:
he runs the inner sections first. then gradually, he runs the outer sections. mostly alone at first, until alby decides they need partners.
each day his legs becoming more tired. more sore.
he hides it. he hides the pains in his sides as he runs. he hides the pain that shoots up and down his legs from overuse. he hides the fact that his lungs feel like they could explode if he runs anymore.
he hides all of that bc he’s the fastest runner,, which eventually leads to him being named keeper.
none of the gladers know that he spends the rest of his day/night massaging his legs and stretching. none of them notice how his face twitches in pain when he sits down or stands up after sitting for too long. none of them see how hard it is for him to hide his pain not only physically but mentally as well.
pov the glade happens years after 2016 and the gladers still have their memories taken away but are confused when they suddenly have the urge to do pop culture things:
the boys, sitting around doing whatever:
minho, who fucking just whips and nay nays out of nowhere
gally: what?? the fuck was that???
minho: bro idek i just.. had to do it???
new flashing youtube ad just dropped. here's the first frame
you have exactly 3/4ths of a second before the flashing lights start. there are three bursts and each lasts just under half a second. they're red and black.
hope this is helpful. consider circulating this.
