for Helga Unbound

12/31/2020 c43 1Ohsoclever1
Okay, here we go. Let me get cozy for this. I’m ready...

Daaaaamn! Arnold is not backing down. “I know it was you” I guess that’s what trying to recreate a journal entry will do to you... turn you into someone who doesn’t have time for games. I love to see it.

Helga, girl what?! “I screwed it up grammatically?” Haha! Stop.

That’s right Arnold keep calling Helga out. I love Helga and she needs an Arnold to call her out. Good job, Arnold.

Oh snap! Arnold admitted what he did this summer? I wasn’t expecting that, but I’m glad he did it.

Really Helga, trying to turn it back around on Arnold? That’s your play?

This is such great Dialogue. I’m so invested and on the edge of my seat, and it’s not even half way through this chapter!

Oh damn. I am loving Arnold here. He is a bold kid, I tell you! “At least I had the guts to leave in my year book entry.”

I love when Helga screams “I was scared, okay!” In any story— it’s so her and so fitting/never gets old.

“I didn’t want to admit how much you hurt me” give me a minute. This choked me up. *breaths* to keep from crying. I feel her so deeply. Okay, okay...

Then it just gets more and more filled with heartache and tension. Shout out to the background description like her leaning into the coats, or them reaching in the dark— it’s so well done.

This conversation is just so so good. I’m almost at a lost for words. It’s all we’ve been waiting for. It’s so natural and It doesn’t feel forced or overloaded with information.

So, Arnold says this sweet thing like “I still want to be with you” and we can’t enjoy it because he goes but, blah blah blah. Boy, what?!

Now it’s Helga turn to tell him. You go girl! Let him have it!

I tell you the more I study Arnold the more accurate he is in your story. I always say the boy doesn’t do well with complex feelings. I’m glad he is at least realizing that here.

Hmmm, no labels huh? Will they’ll be a discussion of boundaries though?

Holy guacamole! I wasn’t expecting bold Arnold, but yasssss to this kiss!

Oh my, the exchange of words Between Helga and Rhonda was cute. Even though Rhonda hated it. Lol

Oh so well done the conversation on the porch. So realistic how all the nerves come after the high has worn off. Awww Arnold is welcoming Helga back to his house. Lol Arnold eagerness for her to come over. And he just keeps going. This boy knows he can’t do causally, and neither can Helga, but it will be fun to watch it unfold.

Fav: “I do," Arnold said without hesitation and without regret. My entire heart!

Helga is definitely a King!

Awww reconnecting to the journal and the poem is lovely.

“Back home in Arnold’s heart” I swoon. I swoon. I swoon, I tell you!

This whole chapter gives so much softness to ease some of the pain in the last few chapters. I appreciate you sharing.

Such a gentle, sweet, warm chapter 333

I always appreciate the song shares.

Reliant K: “Who I am hates who I’ve been”
I listened to this and it is so accurate to how Helga feels and show how much she has grown.

The Ting Ting: “We Walk “
When I force read Helga’s “we walk” policy I thought about walking marriage which I learned in anthropology. It has it’s similarities, but back to the song… Very nice. I feel eventhough the lyrics are easy going l you can still feel the tension with the beat and pauses. I feel the same in the story where the policy is suppose to be easy breeze, but still some tension.

The Academy is: “Sleeping with Giants”
Oh yes, yes, yes. It’s upbeat with still some longing and heartache. Hope with a mix of worry/will it ever happen? Very nice. Great song choice.

The fluff was just what I needed! I cannot wait for more story!

I love this so much!

OMG Relient K... Haven't heard them in ages. Such a good band...
Anyway!
I love reading this story and this update is just what I needed! I'm so curious about the new girl, and how the divorce is going to hit those involved.
Hope you had a Merry Christmas! Thanks for the update!

Very good one here. Yeah, Arnold does have feelings for Helga, but he's not entirely sure of how deep or strong they are, as this is something relatively recent. It's good that Helga is finally understanding his point of view.

Keep the good writing.

Aaahhh not exactly what I expected but I definitely liked it & my heart is content & at peace with them back... Back at it? Back together? With their can walk away situation.
Also merry christmas to you too :)

Reunited and it feels so good!

So glad they're finally back together again.

You do not know how much the anticipation killed me. Well done.

excellent work on this chapter, glad you finally had them talk and Merry Christmas :)

Well, that’s one way to get rid of the tension... lock people in a closet and force them to deal with it. I’m glad that’s one thing out of the way, now Helga only has a divorce to deal with.

As for Addie, yes, she doesn’t seem like Rhonda’s type... unless her interest is more than friendship.

Excellent closing of the season!

First of all, welcome back! We all missed you and this beautiful story so very much. I am so excited to dive into this 10k chapter. I appreciate the length.

Here we go...

And here come Rhonda poking her nose in everybody’s business. Helga knows she low key love being called Arnold’s love bird. Lol Rhonda is so bold teasing Helga. She’s lucky Helga didn’t deck her.

Oh damn! Poor Arnold’s wrist.

This scene of Helga freaking out on the inside while frozen on the outside was so well written. I felt the agony with her.

Hahaha “star crossed lovers of the eight grade” wow this girl is something else.

Fave line: “Nobody wants us to go inside of some closet for seven minutes, Princess," she said with a false nonchalance in her tone. "Only one of us would come out alive and I'm pretty sure we all know who that would be”

*places hand on my forehead* why Helga? Why did you insult Arnold by calling him a dweeb? You’ve grown. Haven’t you?

Just like that Helga caves for her rep. Got to love the girl. This oh so sensitive girl.

I love this set up of a flashback to start the chapter going into an earlier part of the day which is also a flashback, if you think about it. I see what you did here— Gerald said she wasn’t a chicken which aligns with the start of the chapter (1st flashback) which is technically later where Rhonda calls her a chicken. I see what you’re doing and I am loving it

Daaaaang! Gerald called her out in avoiding Arnold. Okay, I am feeling Gerald and Helga’s interaction here. You can tell they are a bit closer in their own way.

Love the reference to pastrami on rye “married” episode

The way this party is described I want to go too. The food set up sounds very Rhonda.

I am loving how we are at the party with Helga getting an update on all the classmates.

Yes (nods head) oh yeah (nods head more) this conversation between Helga and Lila is one I didn’t know I needed until I got it, and I am here for it.

This Helga’s confession of why she hates Lila is pure gold. She is vulnerable, and funny, and spitting straight facts. Then it just gets better with Lila’s confession of realizing that Arnold only liked the idea of her. I love how informative this scene is while feeling entertained instead of a lectured.

Fave line: "A dunce? A dweeb? A dork who can't figure out his feelings?" Helga offered, though Lila merely shook her head.
"Shy."

Oh, you did it again. You made me like Lila. It’s nice to to see her shipping these two, and being so insightful. I believe she is this way on the show, and a lot of folks don’t give her credit.

Finally Arnold! Yay (claps happily)

Rhonda is forever not letting these two have a moment but I can’t help but laugh at the girl. And I have to agree I do enjoy a party with activities. Hmmm the divorce comment peeked Helga interest plus Arnold seemed to want Helga to meet this new girl, so maybe a friendship is blossoming?

Seriously, I just love how you set up this chapter. Flashback inside a flashback into present. And it all offered different sides of the situation all from Helga and Arnold’s perspective really.

“Relax and trust in him for once” (I’ll be going now. I need to find my heart that you stole).

I’m back (I couldn’t stay away too long) and just love Arnold’s pep talk to himself “you’re a bold kid” just so good. Omg! Just being in Helga x Arnold heads while they calm themselves— this is so well done.

Daaaaaang! Arnold just asked. That’s right! To get a girl like Helga you got to be a bold kid. Let her know you been thinking of her all Summer. Yes and just yes to Arnold asking yet again with confidence.

Nooooo, why leave us like this? Why?!

Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey! No worries, love. I was a little sad on the 5th like where is it? But, I waited patiently. I knew it would be worth it & I was right. I am so overjoyed that you posed such a well written chapter. I look forward to part two. I appreciate this length, quality, and details 333

ohh shiiiiiiiit giiiiirl it’s getting so good! i cannot believe you would leave us hanging at such a penultimate moment but it’s soo good haha I cannot wait! good on Arnold for just jumping the gun and going for it, someone has to lol and oh Helga haha she might be surprised and something good might come out of this hehe
12/13/2020 c42 2Veganmama
Yesss go Arnold, go! Love it when he goes all bold. She has no where to hide lol just fess up, Helga! You said the next chapter will be long, so I think they’ll be able to hash out some stuff in this closet. Cliff hangers are so bittersweet!

I already like Addie. Will she be like you? I’m guessing yes, and I hope so, too.

Thanks again for your lovely writing!
