Episode five is really delightful because we all knew something was going on. The writers were clearly aware that their audience was going to hear "The Vampire Armand" and immediately think something like "yes i recall him from the superprison of the multiverse's greatest villains in lego batman." So it was funny that Armand was so smug and precise about exactly how much longer he'd been with Louis than Louis had been with Lestat but now it's hilarious and weirdly poignant. we saw you armand!!! we saw your face when you finally heard lestat say i love you, intending it for your recently briquetted boyfriend. it's so satisfying.

[undying-lilies]

a long-awaited sneak peak of the story concept I utterly failed to ignore

a.k.a. the Little Mermaid gets adopted by pirates who are hired to kidnap the prince she may or may not have saved :D

A knock sounded on the door. Captain Harlock’s eyes flitted over to the prince, but he said, “Come in.”

The door opened, and in walked a girl that was so stunning she looked like she belonged in a painting.

She wore the plainest clothing Lorcan had ever seen - a skirt that had clearly been fashioned out of an old sail and a beige blouse - but she wore them with the grace of a princess. Hands so pale and dainty they looked like alabaster held a tray and hair so glossy and black it looked like the depths of the sea was pulled back with a simple gray handkerchief. There was a choker with a single pearl attached to it around her neck.

On the tray was a hunk of bread with a knife sticking out of it, a pot of something that smelled like coffee, two crude mugs that had been fashioned out of scraps of metal, and a little bowl of sugar cubes. She breezed by the prince and set the tray on the desk before the captain.

“Is it tea time already?” Harlock said, taking the tray from her. “Thank you, Lassie. I would’ve forgotten if it weren’t for you.”

These pirates made time for tea? Lorcan had a sudden vivid image of Harlock making him walk the plank while sipping a cup of tea with his pinky out.

The girl smiled at Harlock and turned around to leave - but when she spotted Lorcan, she froze. Her coral-colored eyes slowly widened to the size of dinner plates.

Then, without so much as a “goodbye”, she ran out of the captain’s quarters.

“Hmm. Strange,” Harlock commented from the desk. 

Lorcan leaned sideways to catch a glimpse of the girl as she hurried downstairs. He turned back to the captain. “Who was she?” 

“Lassie?” Harlock started pouring tea into the mugs. “She’s our little free spirit. She sorta flirts about from one thing to the next on our ship - she’s mesmerized by almost anything. She’s usually much more friendly, though. One lump or two?”

“Er . . . one lump.” Lorcan wasn’t about to refuse tea from a pirate who could kill him any second. “Where did she come from?”

“Well, we’re not really sure,” Harlock said, dropping a sugar cube into one of the mugs. “We found her in the middle of the sea with nothing but a pearl. I mean, absolutely nothing. Had to use an old sail for some of her clothes. Here you go.”

That was maybe a bit more information than Lorcan needed. He took the mug from the captain and took a sip to distract himself from scandalous thoughts he had no business thinking - and nearly spat the tea out. 

“This is scalding!” Lorcan cried. “Are you trying to burn my tongue off?!”

“Yeah, that’d be Melshi,” Harlock said, dropping two sugars into his own mug. “He’s our cook. He has a habit of boiling the water for a bit too long. He has a habit of cooking everything for a bit too long, actually.” He sipped on his tea and seemed to relish in the extra-hot liquid. “Mm, just the way I like it.” 

“You’re all deranged,” Lorcan said. “All of you. I can’t survive much more of this.”

“Feel free to die, Your Highness. Care for some bread?”

Lorcan would’ve thrown his hands in the air, but then he would’ve sploshed the hot tea all over himself and probably die from first-degree burns instead of the pirates. “Fine.”

So.. the zipper.. up or down?

What I'm struggling with the most is the reason why Silver had to be involved in all that in the first place if they're just going to immediately eject him from the plot?

It isn't too hard to think of some other reason why Whisper would get suspicious of Duo eventually, and thanks to her and Lanolin just suddenly being unable to communicate for no apparent reason I doubt she would've gotten much further even without Silver escalating things

And by the end of it all he's pretty much in the same spot as he was when he started, so it would've made exactly as much sense for Blaze to sweep him up travelling before all this happened and save us all the hassle

It just kind of reeks of 'this is only happening because this type of plot is just the sort of thing we do with Silver'

Fuck, anon, you are incredibly right and I hate it so, so much.

I mean, this plot is clearly supposed to be a rehash of Archie. Haha, look at Silver the dumbass, he's randomly accusing people of being a traitor based on zero information to go on! But this time he's gonna be in the right, but we can't have everyone figure that out immediately, so we're gonna paint him as a fool who doesn't get taken seriously by anyone and who acts overly hasty and stupid only to have everything go wrong for him!! This is what people who like Silver want to see, right? :D (spoilers: if you like Silver as he is in the games, nope.)

I am incredibly grateful Silver is no longer around the Diamond Cutters if they're gonna treat him like this, but in the same vein, his two-issue presence in 63 and 64 indeed only amounted to ridiculing him and making the Diamond Cutters look various degrees of bad on top. And you are wholly correct in that Whisper could easily have figured out herself there's something off about Duo... Blegh, now I dislike this storyline even more, if Silver is basically all but obsolete and only there to be the dumbass of the bunch. The one good thing is that at least Silver had a decent enough characterisation for the most part in issue 63 in my opinion, and I liked seeing him, Blaze and Sonic together in the second half of issue 64.

"This kind of plot is just the sort of thing we do with Silver" could not be a better description of it all, and I truly do not like my favourite character is getting mangled in such a way, because how he reacts to what happens does not even match the games' or Sonic Channel's characterisation of him in the slightest.

Tuvok catches a cold

The key held in his hand pauses before it can get into the keyhole. When he hears his name from a familiar voice, the first thought is brief annoyance - an 'anyone else' is interrupting him as he's trying to run an errand alone. Yukio can't help but stiffen once he hears 'son' however - that's why the voice is so familiar. The grip on the key tightens, internally debating if it's worth seeing if it's just his imagination. Something could easily be playing a twisted joke or trick, meant to rile him up and catch him off guard by using emotions. ...Against his better judgement, she finally turns his head after a long pause. Briefly does his jaw clench - no, don't allow them to see how it affects you. He's dead. Father's dead. Don't forget that. Identify who or what it truly is, see if they'll reveal their intentions... and perhaps get rid of it. Not because of the strong anger of something trying to make a mockery of Fujimoto, but because the heartless apathetic cretin is most likely not meant to be on school grounds. ...Or maybe that's just a sick, twisted desire rising from the ever-growing rage that something would dare take on his father's appearance. Sickening, just how lowly some things can be. "State your business, sir." Detached, forward, cold, and untrusting. Trying to desperately cling to the polite with serious apathy facade. His mind playing over and over that not one bit of emotion can come out of him - while he needs that to be how others see him at all times, it's even more true now - for that'd be exactly what they want, to crack, to shut down, to trust, to cry. Keep breathing even and slow, stand tall and aloof proud, and prepared - a shaky free hand discreetly moving towards the pistol in its holster in the scenario violence must be used.

There's a part of him that's proud of Yukio right now. Beneath all the shock, confusion, and now hurt whirling around inside his heart, Shiro knows that the brief swelling he feels within it is his pride.

Yukio was treating him like a demon, yes, but he was also reacting appropriately given the circumstances. Although Shiro didn't fully understand what had happened to him (or, his other self? Would that be the correct verbiage?) around here - yet - he had pieced together enough from Rin's reaction to seeing him earlier to know that whatever had occurred was devastating. Shiro (the other one) was gone, and his (as in himself, not the other) presence here was nothing short of alarming. So Yukio was right to treat him this way, even if it did hurt Shiro to see her reacting this way.

Rather than gear up for a fight though, he raises his hands to surrender - carefully, slowly, and methodically; mirroring the way Yukio reaches for the pistol holstered on his hip. Shiro doesn't want to fight and he doesn't want to press anybody into one if he doesn't have to. "Forgive me, I overstepped with my familiarity. I just saw your face and, well--" He sighs, wearily. Where does he even begin to explain himself..?

"I need to speak with Mephisto. Have you seen him?"
