I love JJ but how do we know he didn't treat girls like that last post says? A lot of ppl write him like that anyway(no hate)
I agree we should look at this more closely and see why I and op of that post agree with the statement they made
to address what you said, (and I'm never gonna assume hate bc this let's me write a lowkey think piece or wtv it's called lol) because deep in my heart I have always felt that those ways of writing him is very ooc imo, but I'm not gonna police ppl on what they write (especially considering that I know that every Rafe thing I write is just ooc when we look at canon very strictly)
so to answer the question, why would it be ooc of JJ to treat girls the way Kiara treated the boys, there's a quick and a not so quick answer.
the quick one, we (definitively) don't know how he acts around random girls, but this are his friends and if roles were reversed he's still loyal af and wouldn't hurt his friends in such a way. full stop. he's not the person to do that.
now, let's look at it in a little more detail.
1. Loyalty
season 1: he went to jail for Pope. he helped his best friend get away from the cops by stealing from his father, who we know is abusive. do you know how much guts it takes to actually stand up to your abuser in that way? and we know even though he started to act up, there's still an inate fear that Luke will hurt him way worse again. he put himself in front of barry to save his friends from being shot.
season 2: he was ready to have a shoot of with the cops to protect John B from going to jail. he was ready to die for him! he tried to bust him out of jail, and if no one had interfered and the other guy hadn't also needed to go to the hospital, the plan would've worked (I'm so sure of that) then he tried his best to protect Pope from Limbry and her brother.
season 3: even though they butchered him, he was still somewhat loyal, I just refuse to acknowledge that he saved Kie bc he was in love with her and not because she's also his best friend. again, no one told him to, he just did it because he can't imagine a life where his friends (his family) aren't all with him when shit goes down. which is also why he was so distraught when Sarah told him to go instead of wait and search for John B when they left Barbados.
there's a clear line of loyalty and he's not crossing it. he's always got their back and if he can't because they don't let him, it causes him mental distress (1. he looked in pain when Sarah made him drive off. 2. he went back home after taking Barry's money and having the fight with his friends although he knew jis dad was there, although he knew of the risk)
2. Girls
we have little to no information on how JJ treats random girls. the only real info we have is coming from the Pilot episode and one timy line in season 2
pilot: his introduction shows him bent over a girl in an attempt to make out with her, it's like 2 seconds max before John B closes the door and moves on. then later we get JB commenting on JJ's behavior by basically saying he can't keep away from any girl because he always wants to fuck them. which tbh, is a common thing for a teenage boy.
season 2: when they are back at school, John B gets the note from the girl to go to the bonfire. JJ takes the note and remarks "she meant to give that to me" in a clear attempt to make it seem like girls are simply fawning over him and it's impossible for anyone to find John B more attractive than him (I'm not gonna comment on the truth of this bc Chase is just not my type at all, so for me to say he's right would be immensely more biased than I already am)
HOWEVER these are the only views we have into his whole dating life. there's no other mention of it ever.
so let's look at the girls in the group.
3. Sarah
JJ is from the start on friendly to her. he's supportive of John B and Sarah and their whole relationship from the get go. and as the story progresses, we can see that he clearly cares a lot about her. he values her opinion on a lot of things. he didn't directly judge her for her cheating (which idk if he did because he gives her the benefit of the doubt or because he thinks it's 100% Topper's fault)
he's even somewhat protective of her, especially in season 2 when everything with her dad goes down, and then at the end of season 3 when he was ready machete a guy with a gun (very dumb idea, but he's impulsive enough to might've actually done that if Ward hadn't stepped in)
he's got respect for her and acts like a true friend towards her, even though they technically only know each other for a few months at that point.
4. Cleo
there's not much to say because we didn't get to see them interact much, but I believe there's a strong mutual respect between the two especially with JJ saying "glad you're part of my team" on the airstrip in season 3
he sees her independence and doesn't try to dismiss it or tell her to do anything she doesn't want to (he never does that with any of the girls tbh which is part of the point I'm trying to make)
5. Kiara
season 1: in the pilot episode he says tp John B "I've tried that door already and it's locked" meaning he tried to get with her, Kie shut him down and he let it go. that's what should happen when a friend approaches you and you don't reciprocate the feelings. it shouldn't destroy a friendship.
then we get to see them interact more, and you can clearly see that he see her as an equal, even though they disagree on some things especially when it comes to money but in the end they'll always stick together.
season 2: we see him be supportive of Kie and Pope's relationship, he has no interest in being with her, if he had he wouldn't give Pope advice on how to win her over. he talks to her about him, maybe in a way of connecting to her and try and help from both sides. again he's being respectful in a rather clumsy way, but he's tentative to not cross a line and doesn't pressure her to answer any of his weird questions.
what we don't get to see is his reaction to Kie doing what she did to Pope, bc we only know that Kie told Sarah and Pope told John B, we can't know if JJ knows exactly what happened pr how he reacted. although it would give a little more insight.
season 3: (let's assume jiara makes sense without butchering character development)
he feels true remorse when it comes to his shown feelings towards her and knowing it's gonna hurt Pope. he doesn't want to cross a line she isn't read to cross yet.
he pushes her away from him because he doesn't see himself good enough to be with a rich girl like Kiara, because all he can see himself as is the person everyone thinks he is. the fuck up. just "Luke's kid". and not the person he really is.
he saves her from the camp because first of all she's his friend and second of all he knows she will be miserable there and that she deserves better.
Kiara initiated the kiss. she initiated the "i love you"s. he didn't want to cross the line without being sure that she wanted it too.
6. his mom
we know nothing about his mom. but from context clues we can assume that she left him when he was a baby, or toddler.
from context clues we can assume that Luke was just as much abusive to her as he is towards JJ. knowing that it's very clear that JJ would never actively hurt someone, especially a woman, in a way like that. if it's physically or mentally
7. other older women
Mrs. Heyward: he's got the utmost respect for her, probably sees her like a mother he wish he had.
Mrs. Carrera: even when she was mean to him, he stayed respectful. not even saying a mean thing behind her back.
Rose: we know he flirted with her in the og script to get better tips, but the scene was cut. I still think it's important to add tho because it adds a layer to his infamous player attitude
Mrs. Limbry: again, even though she was the enemy that point in the story, he still didn't say a bad word about her unlike some of the men they went against.
what it comes down to here is that he has too much respect for the women in his life, to treat even just random girls, in the way that would hurt them.
when it comes to what Kie did and if JJ would do it too? never, because he puts his friends above all else. he would never.

hhhhng I want answers to all of them for everyone BUT, how about:
Why did you give them the name they have? What is the in-universe reason for their name?
What inspired you to create your oc?
Does your oc have any notable skills or good personality traits? Why did you give them those traits? Why do they exist in-universe?
Which canon characters (if any) do the oc have bad relationships with? Why those characters?
Share a random piece of trivia about the creation of your oc. Examples: scrapped ideas or changes you didn't expect to make.
For Peter and Ren? No pressure to do 'em all, I'll be excited for any combination :)
AHHH thank you!!! I will absolutely Ramble on about my ocs so don't u worry heheh 💞
Why did you give them the name they have? What is the in-universe reason for their name?
Ren: I think I've actually answered this some time, a LONG time ago, but dont @ me i answer differently now LOL. In universe, he picked the name Ren because it's a shortening of Loren, the name of his Uncle who had the farm. The IRL reason for the name is because I see a lot of cool names at work and I write down my favs hahaaaa ((side note, i forgot until way after i created him, but the first guy i kissed at college was named Wren. I did not go anywhere.))
Peter: SOOO you get some bonus Calvin facts here too! Oringally Peter and Calvin were kind of the same character that I turned into two different guys. I had called them Peter kind of as a place holder bc I was reading a lot of Spideypool at the time, and well. You know what happens with placeholder names. Then I redesigned them both, and the demon felt more like a Calvin to me, so vampire boy got to keep the Peter name! In universe, Peter's original last name was something generic like Brown or Smith idk but once he was bit and Maggie started calling him Peter V. Pyre as a joke, it kinda stuck. (Later on, Florence ends up taking the name Pyre as well. Makes things a lot easier for everyone, and she says it feels more 'her')
Ok this is already long so I'm gonna put the rest under a cut!
What inspired you to create your oc?
Ren: My baby boy was my Outer World's Captain! That's how he started, my first play through was as "Ash" but only in name really. Then I finished the game and was like must consume fanfic, which then lead to me developing Ren as his own Boy. I had been working on a lot of lore for Ash and my Fallout 4 OCs! Then I was like "Ohhhhhh no,,,,, sorry my children Ren's my fav right now"
Peter: Cowboy Vampire. Needed one. Also a lot my ocs starts as loosely veiled self inserts so they tend to all be a little similar in like,,, body shape and size so I was like... Beefy cowboy vampire???
Does your oc have any notable skills or good personality traits? Why did you give them those traits? Why do they exist in-universe?
Ren: He's really good at like, being stealthy, because that's how I TRIED to play TOW the first time. I am impatient, so Ren get all the patience I don't have LOL. In Universe I ended incorporating it into his backstory- he's got a bit of a criminal background and learned how to get around unseen and unheard during that time. It helps that he's a small boy :3
Peter: He's got some fun Vampire ~abilities~ that probs vary from story to story bc im too lazy to stick a set of rules. Stuff like being able to see in the dark, and like, idk he's got some good reflexes. Also a heightened sense of smell. Bc of reasons. All of those are just cuz its fun tbh! I also have him being a really good shot with a pistol BEFORE his transformation, so with his reflexes as a vamp he's near unmatched.
Which canon characters (if any) do the oc have bad relationships with? Why those characters?
Ren: In TOW Canon, aside from the obvious, he's got a rough relationship with Max for... most of the story lol. For a while he'd ONLY travel with Max if Parvati was with them as well. She's the only one he wasn't constantly arguing with. Max's "violence is the immediate answer to everything" attitude reminds Ren of some not so great ppl in his past, and after Fallbrook, Max is on Ren's shit list. Max becomes more tolerable to him after Scylla, but Ren still never gets as close to Max as he does the other crew.
Also Lilya Hagen specifically bc she tried to "poison" him once.
Peter: I haven't really figured out a lot of details, but at least in the beginning, he and Calvin have a... tense relationship. Peter wouldn't consider them friends for a while, a work partner maybe. Calvin likes to push Peter's buttons and Peter doesn't really understand at first that Calvin is just having fun. Calvin IS a demon, though, so they know exactly what they're doing. ((Bonus fun fact: Peter is actually legitimately older than Calvin. Peter was born in uhh some time in the 1790s? and Calvin was born in 1933))
Share a random piece of trivia about the creation of your oc. Examples: scrapped ideas or changes you didn't expect to make.
Ren: Ren was supposed to be a lot younger at first! Originally I had him ~25 during the games events, but then as I developed him more i was like.... what if.... older??? A lot of that was inspired by my need to give Felix someone older than him that WOULDN'T fucking betray him in some way. So, you have my love for Felix to thank for Ren's age In turn, because I made him older, I ended up having a lot more time to play with in Ren's pre Halcyon life, which created Johnny.
Peter: Peter's still pretty new so there's not too much I haven't already talked about BUTTT a little peek into the future of Peter's story, I did end up expanding on the Maggie/Peter relationship, and it's part of Peter's eh origin story now~

So...what kind of horror movie would you write featuring the Hargrove/ Mayfield family? (That you haven't written already lol)
oh boy, u may regret asking me this bc i am indecisive af and i can’t pick just one!
two that i'm actually writing are max as (g is for) ghostface killer in the abcs of neil’s death and also the max + tory nichols werewolf movie fic outlined here. also some more misc gorror junk bc i’m a demon and esp horny for susan wearing blood splatter. but more ideas commence below:
horror movie #1: another creature feature! awhile back @lucdarling sent me an ask abt max + billy hiding smth from susan and her like, playing along, pretending she doesn't know, and one of the scenarios that popped in my head was them keeping a baby bat as a pet. max finds it and she’s only like six or seven, and she thinks it’s going to turn into a vampire. so here is that scenario except horror edition: baby bat is actually a vampire type creature. not rly a vampire like, what’s prolly popping into ur head, like an undead human like dracula or smth, but like a bat monster that sucks blood.
billy being a lil older doesn’t actually think the bat is going to turn into a vampire. he makes fun of max for believing this, but he helps her take care of it anyway bc he thinks it’s cool. susan, like in the non-horror version, knows abt the bat but plays dumb bc she’s feeling a lot of guilt abt max’s difficulty adjusting to the blended fam (as of rn tho, neil has yet to reveal his abusive nature. the red flags are not yet red, more of a brownish maroon, and he is on his best behavior almost all the time, showering susan + max with affection and keeping the swears out of his mouth when he scolds billy in front of them) and knows the lil furry baby makes her happy. she tacitly cleans up after the bat whenever the kids miss a spot (bats poop a lot, dude) and distracts neil, deterring him from discovering it whenever he gets close.
baby bat gets rly big rly fast. and the older it gets, the more it starts to look monstrous. it still has bat features but it’s just like, different. its fangs grow suspiciously long, its hooks grow suspiciously long. its feet are elongated. a dorsal ridge emerges from its spine, spikes at first just flesh but soft fur rather like peach fuzz eventually sprouting. billy catches on that smth is strange abt this animal when it's as long as his forearm after two wks and still growing. he nearly shits a brick when the bat is clinging to his sweater one day and he steps in front of a mirror and only his reflection looks back at him— no bat.
max laughs at him all like, “stupid brother, ofc there’s no reflection. nosferatu is a vampire, vampires don’t have reflections.” 😂
susan catches a glimpse of the thing when nosferatu crawls out of the home max built it in her closet the same wk billy realizes it doesn’t have a reflection, and also almost shits a brick. she doesn’t know what it is, but it’s NOT a fucking bat. not a normal one, anyway! cue a comedy scene where she’s chasing it around the house with a butterfly net and it’s always one flap *ba dum tss* ahead of her, flying just out of reach. she suddenly regrets not getting rid of it sooner, scolding herself for ever allowing her daughter to keep a wild animal.
she can’t catch it. max comes home, susan tells her she needs to get rid of it. max cries, flips her the bird, refuses. billy tho…billy has mixed feelings. he loves nosferatu but he’s worried it’s going to get dangerous. he loves his dad and his dad is dangerous too. he’s stressed out enough, always on edge, knowing that one way or the other, neil is going to hurt him again. he’s already waiting for his dad to hurt him, he doesn’t need the added stress of waiting for nosferatu to hurt him too. and while max is 100% nosferatu’s favorite, it likes billy too. billy’s been handling it since it could fit in the palm of his hand, it trusts him much more than it trusts susan and doesn’t know any different when billy takes it out of the closet when max isn’t around.
billy frees nosferatu at an abandoned farm. there are always bats flying out of the old silo adjacent to the dilapidated barn. while he knows nosferatu isn’t a *normal* bat, it’s still bat like enough that he thinks it might make friends and be happy here…
yeah, that doesn’t stick. before long, nosferatu is feasting on that colony. leeches the blood out of a couple bats nightly. the number of bats increases with nosferatu’s size. meanwhile, max mourns her missing friend. she’s sullen af and won’t speak to susan at all. she thinks susan is the one who got rid of nosferatu. billy never fesses up and susan doesn’t contradict max’s assumption bc she wants the step-siblings to get along.
neil, meanwhile, is getting more comfortable. those maroon flags are slowly but surely brightening to scarlet. he starts sabotaging susan’s plans with her friends, trying to keep her around the house more and more, quietly but steadily eroding her relationships with other people. he’s getting more visibly aggressive when he disciplines billy. he curses him out with a virulent venom that dunks susan’s stomach in ice water and scares max so badly, she runs to susan and hides behind her even though she’s still so mad that susan got rid of her beloved baby vampire.
nosferatu’s appetite surpasses what the bat colony can offer. it’s like the size of a ten yr old human child now. fucker’s big. it doesn’t just have fangs on top, but tusks on bottom. it can’t go out in the sunlight anymore, the sun sears its flesh. it misses max a lot and before, it wasn’t strong enough to fly back to her house. but now it is. it’s extremely strong, actually.
so bc it's hungry, nosferatu grabs a snack along the way. some nameless rando, it swoops down and sucks dry. nourished and much happier, nosferatu makes its way back home. patiently waits outside of max’s bedroom in the moonlight, tapping its hook against the window until she wakes up. initially max is a lil startled— nosferatu looks so different, there’s a beat before she recognizes it— him?? yk, ig it’s male, the og nosferatu was a guy. sure, why not, nosferatu is a boy now.
once she realizes who it is, she is so! happy! max opens the window and embraces her friend. she isn’t freaked out by the blood on its fangs. she’s always known nosferatu is a vampire, albeit, she was thinking he’d look more like dracula than this bat-monster-thingy.
nosferatu moves back into max’s closet. it hangs upside-down from her rod by its weird, elongated feet. we get more shots of nosferatu sucking rando ppl dry at night, tho he remains gentle with max. when max drags billy in to show her he came back, nosferatu is less friendly with him. he’s not aggressive with billy, but he is standoffish. nosferatu’s thought process is somewhere between human and animal. he doesn’t quite cognitively understand that billy took him to the farm with the intent of getting rid of him, but he does understand that the last time he clung to billy, billy left him alone and never came back. max puts two and two together, and realizes it was billy who “stole” her friend. she yells at him a lot, he yells back, she then ices him out.
billy acts out bc he’s upset. runs away, thinks he’s going to find his mom…the cops find him first and call neil. neil is rly embarrassed and pissed abt the whole thing. he breaks down and beats billy in front of the mayfields for the first time. nosferatu smells the blood and it’s time for the main event! we love dead!neil, yes, we do.
nosferatu flies out the closet and right into the living room where billy’s bleeding and teary but biting his lip so they don’t actually fall. susan’s covering max’s eyes but so shocked and tbh, FRIGHTENED, she doesn’t move a muscle beyond that. neil’s got the belt raised, preparing to bring it down again, and nosferatu smashes right into him. neil stumbles, turns back to see this freaky monster looking thing. proceeds to whip the belt at nosferatu. tries to fight him off with the belt and it doesn’t accomplish much beyond pissing him off more— nosferatu, like most classic vampire types, has a healing factor!
max rips her mom’s hands off her face in time to see her pet sink its fangs into her stepdad’s throat. nosferatu sucks neil dry. billy’s a little dazed, not quite frightened. susan is just dead ass frozen, too scared to scream, even. nosferatu crawls over to billy and nudges at him, making sure he’s in once piece and forgiving him in the same go. max darts over and that snaps susan out of her stupor, but she isn’t as fast as our blood-sucking bat monster.
nosferatu stretches his wings out and with a truly impressive wingspan, hugs both of the kids. <3
horror movie #2: a haunting! this one opens with a bang. it’s a tragic horror, beware. we’re in hawkins post s3. billy died at starcourt mall. neil’s obvi had a longstanding abusive mindset and abusive behavior, but he rly takes his grief out on susan and max. mostly susan. she does her best to protect max however she can, whether that means shielding her w her body, sending her out of the house, getting neil’s goat to inspire his ire in max’s place, etc. but sue simply isn’t around all the time and when she isn’t, but max is, well. yk.
one day neil comes home early (bc he lost his job for a violent outburst, tbh) and discovers susan packing a suitcase.
sue fights hard. she rly does. but neil is bigger, heavier, crueler, and to boot, he caught her completely unawares. he kills her. and no, no it’s not some accidental thing where neil makes one bad move rage-blind. he strangles her with his belt. she’s clawing at his arms and making these horrible choked, trapped animal noises. thrashes and twists her body with everything she has trying to get him off but he’s so strong, his grip is unrelenting, and she's growing weaker, lightheaded with the lack of oxygen. strangulation can induce incontinence and when susan blacks out, her piss streams to the hardwood— neil hears that as much as he felt the clawing and heard the noises, even now he could stop, but he doesn’t. he just. doesn’t think his wife has the right to leave him, esp not after his son just did.
neil burns the body and the suitcase in the woods while max is at school. max has been spending as much time as she can (and often with sue’s prompting) outside of the house, so it actually takes her about two days to realize her mother isn’t around. neil tells a pretty convincing story about how susan abandoned them, voice saturated with apology and sorrow. he takes her out for a fancy dinner and promises he’s going to be a better father-- that being a better father is the least he can do now that her mother abandoned her and they are alone in their grief.
max doesn’t know what to think. she’s been preoccupied with her own grief and pain. she finds it hard to believe her mother would just leave her to neil’s wrath. she has a lot of hangups with susan and anger toward her for marrying neil and not getting them out sooner, but she’s also old enough to realize there would be risks involved with that. it’s hard to reconcile the memory of her mother just last wk pinning max to the wall to protect her from neil’s blows with her own bod just abruptly taking off without a word in the middle of the night. but hey, maybe that’s why susan left. maybe she got sick of protecting her, maybe the pain got to be too much and she turned tail.
but also…it’s early october now, abt three months after billy’s death but still fairly warm outside. yet neil is wearing long sleeves. neil never used to button his collared shirts all the way up, and yet. every collar is buttoned. also, mom’s car is still here. why would mom leave without her car?
that ceramic pelican she loved so much is still here too, on the mantle in the living room. it doesn’t seem like the kind of thing she would leave behind, she's had it since max was a baby.
max almost wants to believe neil because she’d rather her mother abandoned her than be dead somewhere, rotting in a storage locker or a hole in the ground. under the earth with the worms, just like billy. max has the worst feeling low in the pit of her gut. she thinks she knows the truth. she thinks abt going to hopper and hesitates bc she’s not sure she could handle it if he actually found smth. or what would happen to her if he did, where she would be sent, who she would end up with.
this movie would be more on the ambiguous end of things. an arthouse horror, if u will.
the days turn into wks and neil is crawling in his skin. the viewer isn’t sure if the shadows he’s seeing, always, always susan-shaped shadows, are of a ghostly nature or if he’s just hallucinating out of guilt. but the signs gradually point to the former— that smth paranormal is indeed going on. bc those scratches and bite marks susan left in his skin?
they do not heal. they do not get infected. they do not become necrotic. but they do not heal, either. days turn into wks and the wounds still look fresh, like she just left them moments ago. neil can’t wear light colors anymore because his wounds weep red into the fabric. he isn’t just seeing susan’s shadows either, he’s smelling her.
he washes his sheets and pillowcases a dozen times and the scent of her shampoo, her lotion, it’s like it’s woven into the fibers. he walks into the hallway and chokes on the aroma of susan’s perfume. he wonders if max is screwing with him, if max figured it out and she’s trying to torture him into a confession. one day he stomps off to max's bedroom, furious, adamant on confronting her. he grabs her doorknob, prepared to yank it open and then lets out a yelp, jerking his hand back with a sudden sharp pain.
it feels like a bee sting (which would be esp bad for this fucker in anything i write, bc i headcanon him as being allergic). but there’s no stinger. no injury. nothing. neil is freaked out enough that he backs down.
max, on the other hand, is getting gentler signs. when she turns the radio dial in the camaro, it’s somehow always her mom’s favorite songs that come thru the speakers. when she goes to pull clothes out of her drawers in the morning, she discovers that the things she’d just shoved inside in wrinkled balls are perfectly folded, neat as a pin, exactly like how susan always folded. susan was always fond of cardinals and suddenly max is seeing cardinals, pretty red cardinals, in just abt erry tree and shrub.
neil wakes up one night to his wife’s voice whispering “boo” right in his ear. he throws the covers off and discovers ashes in the bed. he doesn’t smell susan’s shampoo or lotion anymore, he smells the kerosine he’d poured all over her body.
his wounds still won’t heal. whenever he looks in the mirror, he catches a glimpse of susan walking past behind him, peering at him from her peripheral. he whips around, heart hammering, but there’s never any tangible person there.
max is almost certain her mother is dead at this point. neil’s been so bizarrely nice to her lately. she never believed in ghosts but her experiences with the upside-down broadened her perception of reality. she doesn’t know how else to explain the songs, the cardinals, the folded clothes. the way that these days, whenever she does feel fear toward neil, it just fades away. her fear melts like popsicles in the sun, immediately replaced by the sensation of a warm, maternal hug, as if arms she can’t see are trying to reassure her she truly doesn’t need to be afraid of him anymore.
in fact, max feels so unafraid of neil and brave, that one night she calls him out on it. he’s grizzled and unshaven in his recliner, beer in hand. she steps in front of the television he’s vacantly fixated on and folds her arms across her chest.
“you killed my mom, didn’t you?”
quick as a flash, neil leaps to his feet. he brings his arm back like he’s going to strike her and susan’s ceramic pelican on the mantle explodes into shards. the lights flicker, the television program cuts to snow with a static roar. every other knickknack on the mantle rattles and framed photos tumble off the wall.
neil very wisely lowers his hand. he slumps, boneless. he doesn’t say a word. max sees the answer in his eyes. it’s the dead of night and she snatches the camaro keys off the hook, marching out of the house, slamming the door behind her. it’s the dead of night and she doesn’t care. she’s going to blow past every stop sign and pound on the chief’s door until he opens up. and fuck, i just realized if this is post s3 he’s supposed to be in russia. shit. i don’t watch this show, but i know abt russia bc i DID watch the clips of that demogorgon that i rly hope isn’t stuck in captivity!! okay, but let’s pretend that didn’t happen?
it’s an au?? i mean, errything i write is always technically an au anyway, bc when i write stuff susan has an actual personality and billy isn’t *completely* abhorrent. okay, so it’s an au and mr. hopper didn’t blow up and un-blow up in russia. he’s still here. so max drives to his house.
she pounds on the door so hard this guy snaps outta bed, thinking someone’s trying to bust it down. she tells him neil confessed to killing her mom. it isn’t true, exactly, but he didn’t have to. so it’s a helluva grim drive back to cherry lane, this time in the cop car.
but when they go inside, chief prepared to arrest neil, no need. neil’s hanging from the belt he strangled susan with, shirtless for the first time since that night, erry seemingly fresh furrow and bite mark on full display. below his dangling feet is a map, the area he burned susan’s corpse in circled in red marker. did he kill himself or did the ghost do it?
up to u, we soundlessly cut to credits without a concrete answer to that question.
horror movie #3: crossover special! stranger things meets the chilling adventures of sabrina. sequel to that fic i wrote where susan makes out with lilith, queen of hell, and lilith kills neil for her. sue officially joins the church of lilith. bc in this ‘verse the church of lilith actually happens after caos s2 instead of the nonsense that was s3 and the inconceivably godawful migraine-inducing shit-fest that was s4.
killing neil was lilith’s only freebee. susan isn’t a witch, she’s a mortal, so in order to reap the other rewards of worshipping the one and only mother of demons, she has to fornicate with the witches and participate in the sacrifices!!!
this is, uh, well. it’s p much a porno, dude, sorry. 😅
this is just an excuse for susan to have sex with lilith, zelda, marie, hilda, big witch orgies + susan. witches bathing in the blood of their sacrifices, susan so nervous and timid but unable to deny her desire. the witch’s dressing her in their gothic garb.
how does the rest of the fam get it on this?
max joins the church too. she has more age-appropriate conduct with sabrina and the weird sisters, and what have you. just smooches and over-the-clothes groping, and whatnot, even tho the weird sisters, at least, would be interested in going further if given the opportunity.
billy dies in starcourt again, so he gets revived in the cain pit! hilda is the one who goes to him after bc she’s been in the cain pit many a time (i am still BIG side-eyeing zelda for repeatedly murdering her sister since childhood). hilda understands how jarring it can be to come back. suddenly alive!billy is freaking tf out but she brings him inside the mortuary, wraps him up in a big blanket burrito and they have a talk. hilda explains that he’s going to be okay and rubs his back while he tentatively sips the hot chocolate she made.
after billy’s calmed down, she brings max and susan in. max and susan can’t do as much magic as the caos witches— they’re mortals, after all, it’s not in their nature —but they’ve gained some abilities thru being in the church, following the rituals, and being carnally involved with the immortal witches. max happily shows him some of her new magic tricks.
horror movie #4: another crossover with caos. heavily inspired by creepshow episode s2e1, model kid (which i already v blatantly referenced in the last axe snafu update and i’m not ashamed, bc it’s a good series i love v much).
billy picks max up from the byers’ place rly late one night. it’s dark and the weather is bad and okay, yeh, he might be a little high. and a little concussed. he pissed neil off pretty bad the other day and okay, actually he’s defo concussed bc he doesn’t even remember what he did wrong!
needless to say, they take a wrong turn somewhere. they end up in greendale. at first max is pissed. she yells at him a lot! yells so loud hilda can hear them thru the walls of dr. cerberus’s comic shop/diner. she goes outside to see what all the fuss is abt, hilda never rly ignores youth in need. we love hilda, she deserved so much better…i’m getting distracted, okay, back to the story.
hilda ushers them inside. max is like, “ooh, comics? horror junk and comics? nvm, i’m not mad anymore.” she pats billy’s arm and wanders away to go check stuff out! hilda makes billy sit down. caos canon established that she’s psychic, at least when she wants to be. she smells the weed but she also sees his life, his trauma. billy doesn’t remember what he did to piss neil off or the abuse that followed, but hilda sees it clear as day.
he’s rude and cranky w her when she probes a little too much for his liking. hilda gently but firmly reprimands him and gets him a milkshake on this house. then she goes to check on max. she steers max to a v particular section of the shop, the one that sells model kits. now, max isn’t *huge* into model kits BUT they are p neat and she enjoys them well enough. more so when the weather is nasty and she can’t go outside. or when she needs smth to do with her hands (a trait she shares w susan) to distract herself and ease some of the anxiety when she hears her brother being beaten or her mother being shouted at.
max is actually rly impressed by the array of models. vintage ones and newer ones. monsters, slashers, final girls, tiny accessories like knives and bloodied heads. but when she gets to the paint-your-own shelf, her jaw drops to the floor.
there’s one that looks just like neil. unpainted, plain gray vinyl, but undoubtedly her stepdad. the expression on the five inch figurine is one frozen in fear.
“i think that one’s calling to you,” hilda prompts her, with the softest smile.
max blinks away her bewilderment altho she still can’t speak. she turns to hilda and turns her empty pockets inside out. hilda just waves her hand. she tells her it’s on the house. that it wouldn’t be fair if she gave billy smth on the house, but not max.
speaking of billy, when he finishes his milkshake, he’s suddenly totally sober and healed!! no more high buzzing in his blood. no more pounding headache or concussion fogging his mind. he doesn’t feel his bruises anymore, rolls his sleeve up, and realizes they simply aren’t there anymore. like they dissolved off his skin.
albeit it’s muttered under his breath, but billy does thank hilda. then he and max are on their way. max shows him the suspiciously familiar figurine in the box. this night cannot get weirder.
max knows what to do with the model kit. she does. she isn’t sure how she knows, but she does. she grapples with it for a long time. neil’s the closest thing she has to a dad these days. and things aren’t bad all the time, ofc.
sometimes neil gives max a ride when mom and billy aren’t available. sometimes he brings her ice cream entirely unprompted. neil’s the one who picks max up off the sidewalk when she wipes out super bad on her skateboard, carries her inside and then later to the car when her cut doesn’t stop bleeding and she ends up needing stitches.
but most of the time he sucks. she can’t rly be herself around him. he's indifferent to her interest at best, scornful at worst. he would hate all her friends. he scares the shit out of her when he’s angry. he doesn’t have a problem belittling her mother in front of her, tearing susan to shreds and making her out like she’s lower than dirt, the most worthless person on the planet. doesn’t have a problem beating billy in front of her or glaring at her with the promise that she’ll be next if she dares to voice her dissent.
max doesn’t always want to do what she knows she’s meant to do with the model. bc she's kind at heart and bc on the good days, she genuinely does have mixed feelings toward neil. never enough to hope he'll be better, he's proven he won't...but maybe enough to hope he won't get worse, either.
then comes the night neil breaks ribs. bad, like we’re talking, a-sharp-spear-of-broken-rib-punctures-billy’s-lung-and-he’s-coughing-up-blood-bad. that’s a trip to the emergency room. in the days that follow, at her next dnd meeting w the party, max places the fully and attentively painted model of her stepdad on the table. normally her pals would protest her derailing the intended game, but they can sense it, yk, that smth is different.
max takes over as dungeon master to the protest of no one, all other mouths sealed as if bewitched and spellbound. she narrators a scene where the demogorgon devours neil and uses the demogorgon piece and the model for demonstration.
when max returns home, neil is strewn across the house in gory chunks and torn wallpaper curls around massive claw marks.

check in tag
oh man i got tagged by a few people let’s see,, @dinasknifewife @souncivilized17 @angelknive ... i think that’s it?? lmk if i forgot ya tho
why did you choose your url?
ok so i’ve mentioned this a lot actually! silver bc i have a long-standing run of winning second place in competitions and such- i never seem to win first or third, but if i win anything it'll be second place. it's really strange lol. and islander bc i am one :)
any side blogs? if you have them: name them and why you have them
none!  i just live here :) i felt like if i started making sideblogs i would be trying to act differently on each to fit in, and that’s the last thing i wanted (and i think i would’ve been right, too.  people pleasing tendencies suck, kids)
How long have you been on tumblr?
june 2019 i think??  i didn’t post for a month tho lol, just lurked
do you have a queue tag?
no, i actually don’t use the queue.  if i’m here i’m here, i... don’t fully understand the function tbh lol.  i only use it if i’m nervous to post smth so i don’t have the pressure of hitting post 😂
why did you start your blog in the first place?
mostly, i was bored!  i used to be super active on pinterest ( :/ i know) but it was getting boring FAST and i wanted to be where it seemed like fandom was really happening, which was tumblr...  i had no idea people considered the site half dead at the time lmao
i’ve mentioned on here before that i have major trouble talking about my interests/passions/hyperfixations w people irl for fear that they’ll judge me, but here i have some level of anonymity, time to think abt my responses and a way to talk to people that’s way easier for me than face to face :D so i’ve found some actual friends here and that’s super cool!!  fandom-wise, i was super into tua at the time, but my very first original post talks abt liking tlou, musicals and horror movies so i suppose i was there for those too even back then
why did you choose your icon?
i think dina’s so cute did you guys know that 😳🥺 this pic matches my header and it’s a nice shot of her!
why did you choose your header?
i made special it just for pride!  it’s a quote from fun home, one of my fav musicals :’D i cry everytime,, if you’re a lesbian and you haven’t listened to at LEAST “ring of keys”, would highly recommend (if you’re down to cry So Much then watch all the way through the show but don’t expect a happy ending, it’s based on alison bechdel’s real life)
how many mutuals do you have?
no idea, i don’t know how to count them lol.  tbh i’ll probably assume we’re mutuals unless proven otherwise by some hidden tungle feature/glitch
how many followers do you have?
381!!  hi everyone
how many people do you follow?
470!
have you ever made a shit post?
lmao yeah.  this one is one of my personal favourites.  i am so funney
how often do you use tumblr each day?
... ok so i have a personally set Rule that i can use tumblr a max of 3 times a day at specific times a day (to combat executive dysfunction/getting locked in and being unable to do anything else, which is v common w me).  however.  i do not have a rule on how long i can stay on it as long it doesn’t interfere w like leaving the house or basic life tasks.  if left alone i regularly scroll all the way to the point i started scrolling the last time i was on the app.  do w this information what you will
did you have a fight/argument with another blog once? who won?
uhh not that i remember!  i don’t see a point in arguing when you can just block, and besides i’m terrified of conflict lmao
how do you feel about “you need to reblog this” posts?
if they have genuinely good info that i haven’t seen elsewhere i’ll rb them but i won’t be happy abt it.  otherwise i don’t even give them a like.  come on, don’t fuckin guilt trip people into notes, that’s just mean
do you like tag games?
yeah they’re fun!  it takes me a long time to respond bc i like to think abt my answers (which usually leads me to forgetting abt them for weeks), but i like them anyways
do you like ask games?
yes definitely!!  really i just like talkin abt myself/things i do and interacting w yall lmao
which of your mutuals do you think is tumblr famous?
thankfully we’re a really small fandom here so.  nobody lol.  it’s better this way- no drama!
do you have a crush on a mutual?
no lol, i KNOW yall must be even a little different offline and besides, i’ve only seen some people’s faces before!  i def wanna be friends w you, but not a romantic relationship for me, thanks
i don't think i'll tag anyone since i'm p sure we've almost all been tagged by now, but if you want you could do this and just say you tagged me. it's ok i won't tell ;)

to all the boys that will *never* love me:
Dear christian, stephen, mikio, oscar, royce, pat, manny, derrick, mars, gill, rex, max, kevin, and nick -- whether y’all were a crush or someone i saw myself being in a relationship with get ready bc i’m going IN. I’m gonna use this time to rank these catastrophes from level 1 to level 5. level 1 being a crush yenno not so bad or scarring, and level 5 being sad machine playing while the world is burning to pieces like bish you left a MARK on my heart. if you know me i think you know who that person is hahaha
*alexa, please play truth hurts by lizzo*
christian - level 1. lol let’s take a trip down memory lane to my first crush ever!! my gosh i remember being so kilig over this boy in elementary school at st. leander lol it was so obvious. hahaha. your spikey hair and like goofy ass smile i don’t know i was such a sucker for that. the first filipino boy i ever crushed on waow <3 but then I left st. leander and never spoke to you again. you went to o’dowd, i went to sjnd and that was it really. you went to sfsu i went to usf. idk how we ever found each other on insta, but it is so cute to see posts of you and jasmine haha a USF don as well!! the last “convo” (i wouldn’t even call it that) was when i commented on your graduation post and you commented back thanking me and saying congrats too. so happy that your trillest brand is killing it and you know nothing about me anymore but what a great time it was to know you were my first crush ever lol. thanks for this <3
stephen - level 1. lol i left st. leander and moved to sjes and was like ok, who am i gonna crush on now?? hello stephen, my first white boi lol. i knew fosho that you thought i was weird in elementary school like there is a particular time where in church i sat next to you and during the our father you did not want to hold my hand LMAO and that’s when i knew. i stood from afar. touched your thumb for heads up 7 up HAHAHA gosh you were so out of my league and such an asshole tbh. you and nick, forever making fun of me for liking mikio lmfao hate y’all forever. you went to lmu and that was history. lmao you were so mean to me. but all well. you were like not a good person i think i just liked you because of your looks? lol hahaha
mikio - level 2.5. oh my god the epitome of my boy problems in high school lmfao fuck you. jk. but high school mika wouldn’t take that back. oh myyyyy what a FLIRT were you. i had so many fantasies thinking we’d be together, we’d be m&m HAHAH BARF wow, and then you dated mel and it was just like??? then you were my escort but then i was like nope and switched you with ryann LOL suuuuper crazy like I don’t really remember the details of everything but i knew in high school being so kawawa over not being noticed by you. but then you went to davis, slo, and now in sl?? idk where you are now but you had my heart back then (barf) but that was such a long time ago that honestly it doesn’t phase me anymore!! a feeling high school mika wouldn’t have thought was possible. so thank you. i liked you because you gave me little glimmers of hope of like maybe we could be together -- you were nice, flirtatious, close to your family... not afraid to make a fool of yourself for the one you’re interested in. which wasn’t me but again that’s okay! I wrote a letter to you didn’t i? idk what i was doing why was i so dramatic tbh. you did things that honestly weren’t in my control so i can’t hate you really. again realizing that you fit my type so it just, idk
oscar -- level 1. when mikio was being a butt i knew i could crush on you. LOL the hugs, the convos, being able to laugh at anything when you were in the room what a time SJND was when you were there. now you’re in boston with your boo and i’m still really regretful over not being able to see you when i was in boston last year but it’s okay. happy that you’re happy out there :-)
royce and pat -- level 1.5. ah. USF college times man. these two were literally a duo. RA’s of the 4th floor (share yall are silly for assigning that haha) and damn, what a trip it was to crush on you. royce you were a dj so thats how i knew my thing for dj’s came. you both did your jobs at ra’s, pat you were on eboard so i saw your hustle there which i super appreciated. and this is also how i knew filipinos were my type? lol. EVEN THO YALL WERE LIKE WITH BOOS lol i am cursed but yall had hustle, swagger, passion for what you love, and still made time for partying it up and studying. and now i see royce at parties sometimes n i would awk hug him (rip at the phoenix hotel party) and i havent seen pat since he graduated but hes so happy with becca!! so cute. and its cute (and weird) how kierst is happy with royce.
****DJ SPARKY/AGANA/YURI -- level 1. yall are dj’s who i will always cringe at bc of how naive i was at shooting my shot... BUT IM GLAD YOU ALL ARE THRIVING OK LETS DISMISS THOSE BOIZ NOW 
manny -- level 2.5. ahhhhh manny manny manny. my first trip towards using dating apps and matching with someone on TINDER!!! LOL!!!! ok anywho i met up with you for a few times and it was just like... a lot of question marks bc i didn’t really know where my standards were when it came to online dating. we went on dates? but the first time i paid, and the second time you “forgot your card” so i paid again?? and then you walked me to my dorm and kissed me on the forehead?? red alert!! then you kept wanting like a second chance, to prove me wrong and i kept ignoring you bc wtf lmao... then i was foolish to let you into my life again and realized that was a mistake and blocked you again. and now you’re like a bonafide dj living your edm dreams. i saw you at audio TWICE omg rip. i liked you because lol ur filipino, a dj, buttered me up a whole ton which again problematic bc i didn’t see any of it within myself... but its okay mika is better now. better to not be talking to you. but thank you for being my stepping stone into dating apps.
derrick -- level 1. omg at times i forget about you! which i don’t know is a good or bad thing but i don’t think i ever told anyone about you lol. we met on okc, this filipino boi (lol a trend) andddd i went on like two dates with him? one, i met up with him at that one coffee spot near golden gate park. then we walked over to ggp and we just talked and thinking about it now it was very ideal for me to be myself fully, in public if that makes sense. you were so nice and genuine omg. we went to sweet maple the second time around and you paid for the food which was like wow!! diff than manny!! and i remember talking to you about kh and you loving it as much as me. but i got scared because you were like 26 or somn? i was still 20 i think and i was like this dude might be asking a lot out of me...so i told him the “this is on me i don’t feel ready and not sure how i feel” spiel. and that was history. i honestly don’t know what he is doing now but he was really nice. i felt no malicious intentions from me, i just wasn’t ready to move forward w him. the first nice guy i ever let down bruh. ugh.i hope you’re doing well now though.  
mars -- LEVEL 5. fuck me i hate this chapter SO MUCH lmao. so many drunk cries and just cries in general post this whole... like chapter. but lets start off with why i liked you: handsome as hell, close to your family, athletic, hustled, SO MF KIND EVEN WHEN I WAS BEING CRAZY, a great homie and bf quality, gave me the false hope of like “yeah ill see if i can come through” “ill let you know when i listen to this” the forever ILL LET YOU KNOWS but still views my stories and still doesn’t let me know mentality.... you never initiated any of our convos. i was STRAIGHT pursuing you even though i didn’t believe that you’d change your mind about just seeing me as a friend. you made that clear to me from the start but i didn’t take that as an answer LOL which is why i was so crazy to keep hanging out with you... even tho you were super busy and i felt like a burden you STILL made time with me, whether that was peruvian food, or thursday nightlife followed by dancing at a bar together (which i ruined when you took me home and asked you about your love language lmao), souvla, and then our final time of seeing each other: san tung and tpumps. what a fucking few months that was...only to come out of it with another girlfriend with the same name as me. LIKE WHAT. ARE. THE. ODDS. i still can’t believe it till this day. my gosh you were so nice to me mars. such a great homie. and i wasnt empathetic or smart enough to make diff decisions to retain what we had...but im happy that you’re happy with mika. other mika. yeah. man i never felt so in the dark when going through this time, this was so rough. i wasn’t eating, i’d cry in bed for days, it was so bad. i’d like to say that I’m healed from that though. lol to burning the shirt which honestly i should have kept bc it was a cute shirt.. but yeah. thank you.
gill -- level 1. lol you were dumb to think i was attractive enough to dance with at the soulection event. we exchange numbers and i think because i told you i was 21, you backed off. lol guess i was a fetus then. still am. lmao. we text for a bit but then i find out you tried to get into arcilla’s pants?? lMAO. oh and then i see you at that pool party, saw you talking to other girls and i broke DOWN bc i was crossed as hell LOL sorry ate kayla that you had to take me home that day LOL ugh i hate myself for that night. and then i see you right in front of me at OSL. in 2019?? for childish?? that was such weird weird fate. thank god you didn’t recognize me (i had long black hair there, you remembered me with short brown hair plus it was dark). i just thought it was crazy. uhm you had the fuckboy vibe and look on point.. knew everything about soulection. family oriented. but it just fizzled bc i blocked you and then just stopped talking to you lol.
*****chris l/frankie -- level 1. again i cringe at how dramatic i pursued yall sorta as crushes but for sure bc yall were soulcycle and about fitness YES bodies 10/10 and you understood soul. but omg chris pls get ur life together (which is what it seems like ur doing??) and frankie well you’ve been having your life together being married and all so0o0o0 im trash for crushing lmao BUT IM GLAD THATS ALL IN THE PAST AND THAT WE’VE FORGOTTEN i think lmao
rex -- level 0.5. lmfao you were dumb you’re gonna keep looking at me and emily only for me to make the move in letting you know i was interested, follow you on ig, and then you block me?? weirdo. bye.
MY HINGE BOYS </3 
Max -- level 3. oh maximus lmao. we talked for a whole month and what a pleasure it was to text you every day, receive and send memes, curate playlists, be w/ each other at different events... only for it to end after we netflix party/facetime where i don’t feel the kilig i’d feel when texting you. so i told you i wanted to be friends. and then i try to still reach out and be friends, but i got delayed responses to no responses. and now you just, look at my stories? lmao i know it don’t mean shit to look and you recently liked my post, but i feel like i invested a lot into our quarantine reality. you had GREAT music taste (even tho ur playlist was a lil questionable), for all i know you were just telling me things to like get you on my good side, motivated, privileged......... yeah. i hope you find your 5′0 qt rave queen that can go to events with u
KEVIN -- level 1. lmfao honestly you SUCK hahaha even with the benefit of the doubt, it does not take 10 hours to reply...even if you are busy at work NICK AND MAX WERE ABLE TO!!! you were spotty to begin with but then we netflix party and then you dont talk to me anymore after i ask if we could exchange music playlists? i didnt even ask u to be my boyfriend its a fucking playlist.... we talked about music so much. ugh BOYS ARE SO DUMB LIKE SERIOUSLY. hope amazon treats ya right
NICK -- level 4. ugh. ughguhgughgh. i liked you because your profile/resume was all my criteria: music taste A1 bc of bryson, i hated mint chip, i loved spongebob (even tho you NEVER sent me spongebob memes fuck u), you were hapa (he he but fuck u) (i laugh while typing this i am so dum), uhm. yeah. we talked everyday consistently for two weeks. you were such a joy to text bc you were funny (i was funny too), even tho it was hard to keep the convo going w you at times in the beginning because you never inquired about me at times. max did. its like you were better than mars, but not like A+ in replying like max was. you never really flirted with me? lmao i mean even those attempts of me tryna bait you, i always got... friend vibes. benefit of the doubt maybe you just didn’t know how to flirt but you had posts of your past relationship up on your feed so you cant tell me that that exp did not have you pursue a girl and flirt her up. to me, there was no initiative from you. i was chasing you for sure. this dating life is a two way street -- life doesn’t work where one pursues you only otherwise like no. bet if i went the fuckboi approach, gave you lame responds would you have kept the convo going? prolly not bc ur a cancer and want to feel needed. the only thing ill commend you on is when you’d apologize for delays in text messages but then you kinda stopped that. like understand i should also feel like i should be pursued and never did i feel that i felt like you just responded just to respond... like you’re a cancer its in your nature to dive deep and ask deep questions but you never did, you were the type to play video games with your pals LMAO and like/????/? me understanding gamer life i was like YES this boy gets me but like CMON. lol so many things. ok maybe i am reading too into this but this is the freshest heartache :/ you never like told me i was cute or anything like... max made remarks about my looks and you never did. i mean cool maybe you were just vibing off my energy but i just now question if you were actually interested in me? bc i was trying so hard to make you like me. every meme, was a move. you didnt play your cards right!! its like i kept hitting you with plus fours, and then all you’d put down is the same color number card. where was the fun in that? it was super effortless but anxiety filling for me at the same time bc i was convinced that you were the one. :’/ super good news to hear that you wanted to meet virtually literally NO EXPECTATIONS but then monday rolls around, you dont text me the whole day, i check in at 530, you tell me you go to costco instead and want to reschedule bc you thought i was ghosting you????? wtf did u just like expect me to just call u right at 7 and expect u to be ready?? max texted me after work and was like “we still on right?” so i was high key expecting that from you bc 1. show interest and 2. take initiative but you DIDN’T!! so i was honest in telling you how i felt but kept it light and asked to reschedule. you take forever to reply, but when you do you tell me it was silly OF ME to think you were supposed to confirm it which i get i initiated it i shoulda texted you earlier (but what if i had the worst day ever and couldn’t text you??? would you have just let it be and not text me anymore bc you assumed i ghosted you???) you also said that you thought maybe it was too quick to assume that i ghosted you which is YES tru. however i was not going to apologize for not texting you earlier and waiting for you to reply bc boy, that was on you to make a move to double check. if i was in your shoes i woulda texted. that would indicate to me that oh wow this boy is making sure we are meeting and confirming! even drop a hey hows your day you excited for tonight? i made it obvious to hype you up on your photos and everything, you just were like wow your photos are so good! wow i hope you posted that picture! like idk. i kept it light bc i still really wanted to meet you, and just wanted to attribute this small ass thing as a misunderstanding between the two of us but after long hours of making me wait, you decide you don’t want to reschedule because you were unsure of how you were feeling and that you couldn't put your all in and said sorry. no sentiment towards wanting to be friends just a straight goodbye which basically meant, in harsher terms im prolly not as down as you are for me and maybe i am nervous to meet u (idk ill never know if you were) anddd im not interested anymore bc you’re crazy and ME being the womyn that i am ended up being the mature one and said the goodbye hope you have a good life without me text and then our lovestory ended lololol what a great two weeks am i right? honestly maybe you still need to do some growing buddy but relationships are not easy going they are a two way street but also ill never know maybe you were just texting me just to text me and you still wanted to be the nice guy bc you were scared of how invested things would be post call so you call it off and it was just in the moment for you to be down but then have it change on another day.... i woke up in a better headpsace today about how this turned out but like god fucking dammit i had high hopes for you you infj CANCER. *squidward voice* so thanks. thanks for NOTHING (this is when you start your spongebob dialogue of all how to get everyone on board for practicing for the bubble bowl and sing sweet victory)
so, the end LOL basically. to all the boys who will never love me, ultimately thank you for being a part of my life. thank you srsly. thank you for making me exp the pain, the kilig, the uh everything. growing pains these are, but at the end of the day, i hope you have a good life. whether or not we cross paths again this gives me clarity as to what i’m looking for and what i deserve. this goalgetting, resilient, funny, hardworking, awkward but in the best way pinay is a force to be reckoned with!!! she has the best support system out there!!! she has so much to live for because she is determined to not let down anyone counting on her!!!! so fuck u for missing out on that!!!
k. my ideal man list is coming soon. until then... see ya later.
xoxo,
Mika (allison to some)

woah woah
it’s really weird like every time i don’t binge i feel so good about myself & start feeling myself then i get too ahead of myself then realize imma fat ass. lol i only ate about 700cal : - in order -

OMGOSHH EP 5 IS YAO CHI APPRECIATION TIME YESSSSSSSSSS HAHAHAHAHA YESSSSSSSSS 
ok bc i couldnt help but include some spoilers, the rest is going under the cut:
iqiyi giving mr tyger all the group shots bc........
BROOOOO CHEN SIJIAN’S RAP!!!!!!!!!!!! omgogomg this is where wuzelinwuzelinwuzelinsunzelinsunzelinsunzelinkeqinmingkeqinmingkeqinming comes frommmm i love itttt his lyrics are hilarious!!! and also immediately being like ‘ill get rid of wu zelin!’ when mc jin brings it up HAHHAHA
daniel is a cutie!!!!
yao chi talking about his rap..... wow can i hug him hes amazing
awwww xia hanyu talking about wenhan..... wenhan’s really done a lot for him
wait that whole last bit where they leave dachang is just obvious iqiyi favoritism and it kinda makes me sad.....
UGH honestly the worst part about jia yi being so popular is that hes gonna miss his tyger gege’s when he has to leave them behind....
by the time lin mo was called, he was already so done... he looked so defeated.... because he knew they wouldnt be able to stay together and its so heartbreaking..... 
OKAY THESE SPECIAL TEACHERS WE NEED TO HAVE A TALK. OH MY GOODNESSSSS HOW COULD YOU CHOOSE EVERY SINGLE TYGER MEMBER EXCEPT THE ONES THAT ACTUALLY NEED TO BE CHOSEN???!??!?!! THATS SO FRUSTRATING ALSDKJALSK LITERALLY EVEN IQIYI WANTED THEM TO BE CHOSEN!! THEY LITERALLY PAN TO EITHER JIN FAN OR ZHEN NAN AT EVERY SINGLE BREAK I SWEAR AALSKDJLKKSDK
jia yi hesitating at the end...... and zhen nan’s words at the end.... HES FREAKING 61!!!!!!1 61!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS FREAKING JIANG JINGZUO ALL OVER AGAIN BUT THEY DIDNT LET HIM SPEAK WTFFFFF ok if youre gonna keep giving zhen nan and jin fan screentime bc yall regret eliminating them so early why you dont give them screentime at the end when it really matters????? i wanna see what zhen nan would say (jingzuo’s last minute screentime got him a lot of attention too... the fact that they didnt give zhen nan any is NOT HELPING) and i wanna see jin fan and chen youwei’s freaking last friendship bc youwei was rooting for him the whole time bc HE KNOWS JIN FAN DESERVES TO MAKE IT!!!!
AHHHHHHHH LIN MO ITS LIN MO!!!??! HE’S INJURED!!?! AAAHHSHHGHHGHH NOT MY CHILD WTF NOOO!! lakjsdlakalsk omgosh please be alright..... it sounded like his voice making that pained sound, and the person was blonde so i think its lin mo....... noooo my heart.... i cant take more stress, we literally just had elims..... so lin mo has to say goodbye to his friends (including his best friend...) and then he gets injured???? alsdkjlakj ughhhh 
omgosh daniel getting the special time at the end is just another stab to the heart goodness.... he was my favorite oaca kid from the start.... 
i cant believe chen you made it and daniel didnt.... also im so sad that like ou tianrui was the only one who didnt make it from bg project, that must be so sad... also sad that yao chi is the only one from mavericks that made it... losing all your closest friends at once :c im happy for guan yue and mingming going up, they deserve it 
WHOEVER MADE THE ENDING CREDITS IS LIN MO BIASED HAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA WTFFF THERES 3 CUTS OF HIM AND 2 OF THEM ARE REALLY EXTRA AND THE THIRD ISNT EVEN FROM THIS EPISODE HAHAHAH WHO INCLUDED THAT???!! i mean yes he looks very sad and is crying there but its like so random i laughed (im sorry)
okay not gonna lie i didnt cry as much as i thought i would. yes it was sad but i kinda already knew that jin fan and zhen nan werent gonna make it so i was more just FRUSTRATED AND ANGRY watching the whole thing and seeing them get random bits of screentime (YOURE TOO LATE IQIYI) but i heard rumors and then when i saw those goodbye videos they uploaded on weibo today....... my heart sank like oh goodness its real...... i cant live in denial forever.... I STILL CANT BELIEVE ZHEN NAN WAS FREAKING 61 AND JIN FAN WAS FREAKING UNDERAPPRECIATED WTFFFFF everyone on jin fan’s team im sure was rooting for him bc they knew how he was so vital to their success --- he literally taught them all the choreo wtf chen youwei would be nothing without jin fan..... ughhhh alsdkjalsdkjlaks this is so frustrating im so sad for him....... but now i just really wish jin fan and zhen nan do some really cool stuff and stay active while they wait for the others. i think its likely (sadly) that zhan yu will get eliminated the next round, (but im honestly surprised and grateful that the special teachers recognized his talent! he realllyy killed that ‘retreat’ stage even tho zhenning is getting all the attention) and lin mo is liked by iqiyi (i think) but i dont think he has enough potential to actually make it into the top 9... or maybe its just my wishful thinking bc i hope mr.tyger can go on promoting without jia yi, but without jia yi AND lin mo, itd get pretty rough for them, so if at least lin mo stays behind with mr. tyger, i think they could potentially still do somewhat well in the meantime while jia yi goes off to debut with the top 9 and they wait for him to come back
and now for my random predictions: 
right now its rather fixed that wenhan, guan yue, and jia yi will make it. I think youwei, huaiwei, mingming, chunyang, wang jiayi are all likely, which means most of them will make it (but probably not all), and then xixi.... honestly i feel like xixi wont make it (BUT I REALLY LIKE XIXI) but i think iqiyi doesnt like him enough to give him enough screentime for him to make it (at least at this current rate....) also please note that YAO MINGMING WAS THE ONLY ONE FROM THE TOP 9 who did NOT get to go on that trip to leave dachang coughiqiyihatesmingming but luckily/hopefully mingming is popular enough to get votes anyway, LIKE MINE BC I VOTE FOR MINGMING). other than the current top 9, I think its likely either shi zhan or li zhenning or deng chaoyuan will make it. zhenning is the lowest of the three right now, but iqiyi likes him and hes gotten the approval of all the judges AND he was able to shoot up a ridiculous amount from pretty much just ONE DAY of voting (maybe a week at max, counting from the time they released the solo cams), and these votes have been tallying for the past month. so can you imagine how much more he’ll shoot up next time? he has a ton of potential to make it. shi zhan is already up there but iqiyi really likes him too bc of how hilarious he is, and jolin’s approved his smile so i can see him getting more and more screentime too. yao chi i think is also likely, bc he won 1st place visuals hahah that gets him attention from the public but also the staff, so i think theyll give him more and more screentime too. plus he has a touching backstory and mc jin has approved of him too. i think yao chi is someone who they’ve depicted as really humble and works really hard, and they like his smile. (who doesnt hahaha) but ofc there’s probably gonna be a lot of toss up in the rankings yet to come. from ip1 we learned that 70% of the kids were fixed from the start hahaha but 2-3 of them can come from behind, so who knows. iqiyi seems to really like cheche and wangzhe (how did wangzhe and wu chengze get to go on the trip to leave dachang but not mingming?? i mean i really like chengze tbh but i was just so surprised he was there! hahaha it seems so random bc hes #22?? i mean good for him but still)
Tumblr media
anyway im all in all kinda all tired from watching a stressful 3 hrs lol but tbh i feel like they didnt show as much of the fun hotpot time as id hoped... and what about all the other rankings besides #1 visual? i dont really understand why they took a few random kids (who, no surprise, all dont get eliminated this ep) out of dachang for that trip.... i like a lot of those kids honestly, but id rather have seen more of the big group bonding / singing over hotpot (giving some of the kids who get eliminated some last screentime before they leave) or at least like find out who ranked in #1 boyfriend or something like that hahaha.... oh well..... now its time for me to go wallow in some mr tyger content so i can mourn the loss of our two children....

anon post
for all 3 of my fans
i live for ur wit and sass
thx n same
Dont fuck with the best! Kate works hard to get the craziest anons to post in her yard, and I've got nothing but respect. There's no fan in the fandom as genuine and earnest as she is. Wishing her and her cats a long and healthy life!
lmao yall need to quit
you've probably answered this already but what do you think will give vm the best shot at the OG?
a good short dance + a good free dance + gui missing the catch-foot on his twizzle again
Are you taking the bar exam this summer?
no i just finished my first yr
I will cry if T&S end up together, They would be a horrible match. Surely I'm not the only one who sees this??
i am ashamed that this is the level of trollin i get. step up ur game!!
"i hope tessa marries semple so i can see all the shippers cry tbh" Poor Alex! Marrying him would probably restore his self confidence and prompt a return to the cfl! Still holding out hope!
honestly alex was the hottest of all her bfs. fedor is balding, has a dad bod n is wearing khakis on the beach now. and semple was always fug. also rl talk i didnt know canada had its own football league until this guy came around. thats so cute for canada
"i hope tessa marries semple so i can see all the shippers cry tbh" I want her with the Bitove guy. His family looks like the type that will post tons about them on sm afterward.
lmao yall know his grandfather started the toronto raptors?? i knew this brodie’s last name sounded familiar. also apparenty he and his fam golf at trump’s resort @ mar-a-lago VOM. tessa is 500% going to end up with a smarmy, filthy rich trust fund kid like him like its not even a question
Hey now. I want shippers to get overthemselves, too, but Tessa marrying Semple, god no. Basically, Tessa, open your eyes and save yourself.
lol i actually wish she was still dating him so all this mindless speculation rn would stop
Bitter and hateful is what I come here for. Anons should just fuck off and go to the Disney website if that's what they want.
vm fans are so damn soft n sensitive about everything lol, i rly wish some of yall would stop taking everything i say so seriously
Please come back, without your snark the fandom is controlled by the most delusional shippers.
i’ll post more when there r actually things 2 talk about. being around here when nothing is happening and ur all screaming into a vacuum about the same things over and over is like being institutionalized in a loony bin
why are you always up so late?
nhf for this east coast bias, it is a perfectly reasonable time in california
Which of the current/rising juniors do you see making tbe most impact next quad?
carreira/ponomarenko are going to win a olympic medal in 2022. even if the shibs, h/d and bock don’t retire, i see them easily rising through the pack - they just have the Look and aren’t without talent. i’m iffy on the rest - mcnamara/carpenter are too creepy and weird, parsons have no height difference and are siblings, both are coached by an unproven staff, everyone else are varying levels of mediocre. hawayek/baker will go to worlds 2018 if they’re lucky and prob never again if no one else retires.
i wouldn't take h/d's music choices as an indicator of what vm will have. they are the c team and vm are the a team in that camp. look at last season... h/d got stuck with marie-france's lame ass idea of the evolution of music and vm got prince.
true..... altho i think personal taste is important too. tessa would die b4 she ever approved an ‘evolution of dance’ sd
I want Tessa to steal Fedor back from Meryl. All that drama would be hilarious. Fedor lost his looks and is butt ugly now so he is exactly Tessa's type, even more so than in 2009.
i nvr thought he was that cute but he literally looks like he goes door to door selling pool cleaner now
I noticed that when Tessa shakes hands or kisses someone on the cheek (like during medal ceremony or interviews) Scott often puts a hand on her lower back even though there had not been any physical contact between the two of them before said handshake or kiss. It just always surprises me and I'm not sure I understand why he'd do this. What's your take on it ?
lmao ik u want me 2 say its bc his subconscious is screaming out in jealousy and he wants to covertly claim her and show the world she still belongs to him but i rly think they r just touchy ppl who like to touch. or hes makin sure she doesnt lose balance and fall off the podium as she’s leanin over
moulin rouge would've been a much cooler choice in 11/12 for their musical fd instead of funny face, but i don't see them doing it for their olympic fd. it's a bit tacky and overdone. i figure they'd want to do something that's a little bit more special and unique then that.
ia it wouldnt have been a bad filler fd for an off year. i just dont see it doing it for their Last Ever and for the olympics. its such a warhorse - what could they possibly say with it thats original? and its such a character piece - they r such overly emo, earnest ppl, i dont think they’d want to do something that different from themselves for their Last Ever. 
huh what, vm don't stand a chance against moonlight sonata?? Pls... that would be a flop, such an overused piece of music everywhere, it's like Für Elise - hearing the first notes of it makes me vomit in my mouth a little
ya bc no one’s ever won a gold medal skating to a warhorse before
it sounds more believable to me than vm and moulin rouge tho
What interpretation? PC will just float around. They can do that in any key and judges will eat it up.
true, gui gui is a demon
No way. The judges will think they're watching Gordeeva/Grinkov again and just hand the gold to them immediately.
remember when pc said they didnt even know who torvill and dean and g/g were lmao
If scott doesn't cut his disgusting gutter frat boy hair I'm renouncing my Canadian citizenship and moving 2 Peru
was legit lookin @ pics from autumn classic n skate canada and i cant believe how short his hair was then, i can not believe i was complainin so much. i am honestly such a whiny bitch lmao this is my punishment
i have mixed feelings because Prince is the best short dance of VM's career so far but then Latch was one of the worst lol. It dragged in a lot of areas, especially the middle, and it never felt complete. I don't hate it by any means but considering we only had 2 free dances left and that was one of them... :| so I'm torn between trusting MF, and then thinking she's one misguided song choice away from ruining VM's swan song.
the thought of mf picking out the music for vm’s last ever fd makes me kind of sad. like yall have no ideas? at all?? ur relying on instagram suggestions and mf’s adult lite fm spotify playlists for inspiration? im surprised n disappointed tbh, like they arent kids anymore, i thought they would take more ownership of their careers. 
but idk we’ll see. whenever i complain a lot, i usually like their material later lol
why do i feel like vm are gonna come out in their sd with despacito... the justin bieber version...
ok who is this person who keeps sending me despacito questions?? you sound like you want it to happen more than anyone else and are trying to will it into existence
It's funny because Tessa is SO cautious about everything she/they say, that she comes off/is rehearsed--I don't understand why she cares so much. They are not politicians or even super famous. Plus most people who watch (excluding Tumblr fans bc they're all extra) watch during high times like Worlds and Olympics. Most people don't watch interviews and press conferences. If they do watch one, it's usually only the fun "game" interviews or the mainstream ones like etalk which they are not tons of
idk what this is in reference to but ok lol. it prob matters to her bc its her life and she cares bc its happening to her? just spitballin here
Oh no what has Max Trankov said I'm scared to know now. If he's a Trump fan I might have to #nopeout lol he’s russian and a male chauvinist pig. he once said he wouldnt do a quad with tati until she had a baby for him...”and then maybe we try”
still gonna stan his trash ass to the end of time tho
Speaking of bad music cuts I could not stand the way HD's music was cut this year. Like I like all the songs they used individually but it just felt so weirdly put together like the songs didn't flow well into the next. The only part I liked was the last part with earned it.
really? i thought earned it was the part that seemed completely out of step with the first 2 pieces of music. the transition was way off and the tempo was so much faster than the other 2
The Facebook q&a is the first time I felt vm are actually compatible enough to be a couple.
should’ve published this steaming hot take when u sent it a month ago bc i have no idea what this is in reference to now
what do you look like?
tired mostly
haha funny how we went from vm are in a relationship to they hate each other.
dont ‘we’ me bitch i have nothing to do with this fandom’s daily emotional yo-yo-ing
Can you explain the Tessa/Kaitlyn Weaver friendship? Are they really friends? Kaitlyn seems like the kind of girl Tessa would make fun of behind her back.
more like kaitlyn weaver is tracy flick and is trying to bring down everyone in her path tbh
I get a bit of a superiority, cold vibe with Tessa, don't you?
no but i dont have self esteem issues
I think people who find Tessa cold and snobby do not get her at all. Yes, she is far from perfect and her feminism is all (...) but to call her cold and unfeeling means you haven't been paying attention at all. Like get off her dick and/or stop following her career.
i dont think shes cold either. standoffish maybe, but i dont feel like thats from superiority or aloofness. some ppl just want to mind their own business and chill?? not everyone’s a chatty cathy like scott
Music stresses me out. The only thing I've gathered from all of the various discussions is they should be exciting but not too exciting because it's an Olympic season. But they shouldn't also be too safe. Like I know you have mentioned various choices that would be good but what would be in your mind the ideal program, both SD and FD. It's their third Olympics, so how do they build on the past while still being fresh but also them. Or do they just not and give the audience what they want?
something original thats not a warhorse but is also audience friendly and is instantly musically palatable to a lot of ppl
so basically mahler
Which songs from moulin rouge should they use?
if they were doing mr (which i doubt), the orchestral score is 500x better than the cheesy ass nonsense from the soundtrack. like come what may with nicole kidman’s tremulous bird vocals and ewan mcgregor literally straining not to pop a vein would almost be too dramatic and Too Much. i think that kind of thing only works for a v specific kitschy, performative kind of team (a la russians) and wouldnt vibe with vm’s super earnest approach at all. but the orchestral score is genuinely moving and effective in a less garish way
but i dont think they’re doing moulin rouge lol
"the movies honestly made it hard 4 me to interpret hermione’s undying loyalty and devotion to harry as anything other than latent sexual attraction tbh lmao" Hahaha, pretty much. Plus, the whole Harry and Ginny thing, even more so in the movies, seemed to come out of nowhere and was cliche as fuck.
is bonnie wright still acting? i’ve seen dead fish more alive than her on screen
LMAO someone posted a clip from VM's show when they were having dinner with WP and they were talking about how WP live together and they ask VM how they deal with one another and LOL I stg I started loling cause their reactions were #priceless. S literally just had a WTF look on his face while he said something hella awkward & T looked like she wanted to slap him. Her follow up that she doesn't think they could ever spend all their time together just cements why they'll never date for me.
lmao that whole scene is so stupid. kaitlyn n andrew r such good friends i swear
Thanks for setting that anon straight. Set some boundaries so that they don't egg on shippers?? WTF. They're fine with doing what they're doing, and if they're dating others, those others are obviously fine with it too. Besides, it's not like they're filming porn or something. If you can't handle it, stop watching them.
idek what these r in reference to anymore but it sounds dumb as hell lmao
Wow I cannot believe that people actually think VM owe fans any explanation for their relationship/partnership. Like we don't know them, we're never going to know them or be friends with them? Why the fuck do they owe fans a detailed explanation of their personal business? I stg these shippers have lost their damn minds. As long as VM continue to put out good programs and do well I couldn't care less what they're doing off ice. Whatever it is it's clearly working for them. You do you VM.
the entitlement of some fans is insane. its STILL happening now with tessa’s ig now too. why dont yall just let her live n let her white-girl post to her hearts content. she is literally doing nothing differently to what every other skater does, idg this absurd criticism
Fr tho both of them have such nice teeth and I've never seen pics of them with braces, like how??!?!
tessa’s r so nice i cant believe she’s never had braces. and they r such a natural white? like u can tell w most skaters that they get it professionally whitened but hers dont have that artificial look at all
Are you in college? Your bio says 23 but it said that last year too.
i actually turned 24 a while ago im just 2 lazy to change it. im in law school currently
I just read an ancient interview with vm where they said Mahler was about getting married or something... WHAT
ya i cant remember if it was them that said or marina that said it tho. i remember a story about a guy who wrote them saying he and his gf were watching mahler at the olympics and once it was over, he was so moved he got down on one knee and proposed to her and marina was like ‘thats what that program is meant to do’ lol
Do you think Zach is a good skater and partner? I keep changing my mind on him.....
he is such a bland, wet noodle - no taste, no flavor, just empty white carbs. its up to madi to add any spark to the team bc she’s the real star, he just stands there and is tall and can lift her
Why the fuck are so many people freaking out because Tessa did not attend a wedding with Scott. 1. They are not dating so there are no reason for Scott to bring her. 2. She has people visiting 3. I bet they don't even hang out off ice 4. I think Scott has a secret girl in Ilderton. 5. TS not dating. I wish people would claim down.
this is so far back in my inbox i have no idea whats happening
I love it that whenever Tessa posts an IG story the fandom goes crazy analyzing and speculating about Scott what there even when he is clearly not Then there there are talks about TS wedding. WTF Soon it will be TS having babies. I am wondering if maybe the fandom (new fans) are mixing reality with those fanfics.
honestly no clue
I know this has been discussed before but I don't get how Scott and Jess even communicated. Jess could barely seem to understand English back then and Scott couldn't speak French. I wonder if them not being able to speak to each other is part of why they lasted so long actually
lol bryce davison actually learned french so he could communicate w/ her. not scott tho lol
I don't think T cares too much about fs friendships the way other skaters do. Of course she's friendly with a lot of them but she's not really close with anyone except her partner, which doesn't really count lol. She has her own friend group outside of skating and that's what she seems to stick to. It's funny you mention Meryl, Brooke, Tanith, and Lauren because they're all still really good friends.
honestly i think skating stressed (stresses?) her out so much back then that she really hated being in that world for too long. i dont blame her for wanting to disconnect and not having to hang out with skaters who just talk about other skaters and skating 24/7
I don't mean this in a mean way. Watching Avatar.  If you paint Meryl's face blue she could be in the movie 
it kills me when ppl say she looks like a disney princess? ya the ant queen from a bugs life maybe
I think Tessa sometimes forget that Scott is a huge part of why they are successful and she wouldn't have all of these deals w amazing brands if they weren't so strong+didn't win everything. it's easy to put her on the pedestal bc she's gorg and can dance, but he should get/deserves just as much credit-- i mean he is the one lifting her and she could not do any of this by herself. sometimes i get the vibe that she thinks she's too good for him. maybe he's not as fancy, but he has a heart of gold
i’ve literally never gotten that she thinks she’s too good for him...? they go out of their way to pay each other compliments all the time and dont even jokingly diss on each other. its actually kind of weird that after knowing each other so long their relationship isnt just one long roast section where they talk shit about each other bc thats what my relationship w/ all my lifelong friends r like....but then again im a flinty bitch and they’re super earnest and emo like all the time. like i bet they both cry during sex
i find it kinda gross, disturbing and a bit pathetic that so many people feel the need to write erotic fan fiction about Tessa and Scott--like they are real people not characters, and it's kinda creepy that people spend so much time writing and reading them. Also, i would pay a million dollars to have someone show TS what people write about them--they would literally die and so would i--some fans are kinda extreme crazy
u know how on graham norton when he’s always showing celebs really erotic fanfic and fanart of themselves and they’re just dying of embarrassment?? i would literally pay everything in my bank account (so like....twenty dollars) for someone to do that to vm
omg it's gonna be so awk when tessa and scott have to see klawes...poor klawes, she just could not hold a candle to tessa. still don't know why klawes still follows tessa's insta--like i would unfollow and would not wanna see some of the pics t posts of TS giving each other lovey looks/touchy regardless of whether ts are together or not. also, it's never like t and klawes would actually be friends bc they're polar opposites
v disappointed that the olympic summit did not deliver on this #drama
tessa and kl were real friends tho, i think its sweet. and its nice they still keep in touch even tho scott is a dog
Are you a fan of tessa's style? She wears so much expensive yet ugly shit in my opinion.
lmao no. i think some of her casual wear is cute, but she wears some of the most hideous high fashion shit ever when she’s going out. like that blue carpet jumpsuit? yall know wht im talking about. those hideous trousers??? also she wears an unbelievable amount of boring black dresses
also gf needs to do smth with her hair. tired of her high bun and slick pony. she looks way cuter w/ her hair down imo
Do you think Tessa pays for all the Adidas stuff she wears?
no she def gets it for free. i was a walk-on my freshman yr of college for half a second and even i got a bunch of free shit from nike
How do u as an ed sheeran unstanner feel about ts doing these songs their obviously using him for the sd next season and i wouldnt be suprised if they use him for the fd as well
reading this made my cholesterol go up
really hope they're exhausting all the ed sheeran options now so they won't actually use it for comps lol
ngl i do kind of dig that embarrassing white boy rapping galway girl song but that cld prob just be my girl saorise ronan hypnotizing me like she always does
Minus the horrific man bun, do you think Scott's hot? Also, do you think Tessa finds him attractive?
no and probably yes now that hes so fug
Do you think Scott's attractive?? Also, do you think Tessa being told she's beautiful constantly on sm has made her get a big head--she often comes across as a bit cold and stuck up prancing around in her $1000 + outfits? Love her and she's gorgeous but...
some of yall need to stop projecting your shit onto tessa for real 
Power plays of the figure skating journalists. Inside Skating does a very literal interview and article with P/C which blows up and then they go to Jackie Wong so he can basically write up a damage control press release. Kind of fascinating to see both journalists doing their thing with the same content. Hard to believe Inside Skating didn't think their article would create a storm. Interesting.
speaking of jackie, skaters r really going to him for their exclusives now huh? dying that ashley gave him her big la la land fluff piece instead of tsl. pays 2 be nice and kiss ass
Doesn't look like KH/JLB will have much of a chance to advance cuzis so crowded with the current seniors not retiring and juniors moving up. KH/JLB needs to work on their twizzles, thier lines, skating skills, chemistry looks promising. Some of those junior and senior teams should consider representingif they want a chance at aCanada doesn't have any promising teams once VM-WP retire. I feel like CB, SS, HD ain't retiring till they win Wch or OG which may never with PC around.
hawayek/baker could prob skate for gb because jean-luc has citizenship and carreira/ponomarenko could prob skate for canada bc she’s from montreal but i doubt the us fed is letting either of them go. they’ve invested way too much at this point. i don’t think c/p need to move tho, i think they’re talented to rise organically through the ranks. i think they’re more likely to be us #1 instead of not tbh
I don't understand the whole David and Tessa affair; like some people say it happened after he was separated and others talk like it was a full blown affair. The only thing I do know is that her being called a "homewrecker" or anything else of that nature makes me want to punch something because it's disgusting, and it's society go-to response. Be cruel to the woman and basically give the man a free pass. But maybe he received shit, too? I just never heard about it.
i think he was basically separated but not divorced when it happened
Do you think if TS and Cappelini and Lanotte switched partners they would be a good team?
lol no. anna’s not a great skater and luca looks like he’s shorter than tessa
Wait is that Tessa's ex Semple in that photo you posted of her pre and post nose job? Cause if so damn does she lowball herself. Like she could have such better looking guys I do not understand. Girl is very pretty she needs someone to help her pick better guys.
~we accept the love we think we deserve~~
I think T is cringeworthy as a speaker bc she's sooo gd rehearsed. Not a things she says comes across like she didn't practice it in the bathroom mirror 75 times that morning. She would be pretty good if she could lose even half the pretension in her delivery and tossed out the eye rolly words she keeps littering the sentences with like privilege and journey.
they honestly both suck. she’s worse than he is, but they’re both super stiff. and they always do this forced banter bit at the start which just seems so awkward lol
That one anon pointing that some have denied the nose surgery - this is exactly what annoys me about those shipper blogs, not that they are shippers (you can want them two to be together- that by itself doesn't bother me), but their ways and how they always have to insist on vm's perfect image - they all get so upset and aggressive when you point some issue out, like why would you deny Tessa has done a nose job... so out of touch! vm are interesting exactly cause they're real people with flaws
i can not believe ppl r denying her nose job. like yo its right there. it does lend credence to my theory that all shipprs r just hallucinating n seeing things that arent there tho
If Tessa and Scott did hook up while officially with SOs I have a feeling they wouldn't consider it cheating.
ok lmao??? im sure something extremely profound i said provoked this
how rich do u think scott and tessa are???
prob millionaires by the time 2018 comes around if they get their sponsorships
-
i might do part 2 later if i can be bothered... but nothing really makes sense out of context lol, its like watching charlie kaufman do slam poetry

wings vcr theory ???? aka what is happening
wow ok so i thought that people connecting every era of bts M/V’s were maybe looking into it too much (and as a lit student like. i know what it means to close read) but via this vid (@jinjjarevil on twitter) apparently I WAS WRONG and here is the reason why
1) the return of jin & the flower petals
Tumblr media Tumblr media
as we are all familiar: the general consensus is that the 6 flower petals represent the rest of bts’ members (re: everyone EXCEPT jin), and it’s often agreed upon that he’s “filming” the boys because 1) he’s dead and dreaming them up or 2) he’s recalling all his memories with them or 3) the boys are dead and he’s the only one alive or 4) tbh pick ur poison i’m not gonna make this post a breeding ground for HYYH theory discourse, but i’m down to talk elsewhere !!!!
this part isn’t particularly groundbreaking, but it’s the first direct link to the young forever M/Vs
HOWEVER !!!!the difference arrives when the shot cuts to what jin is filming; it seems that there are seven people in frame? (this is at 0:52 in the video)
Tumblr media
which leads me to believe that, because WINGS is a continuation of young forever, it makes sense that jin manages to find his way back to the boys - something that connects itself to a bs&t theory i have. the general rundown of my interp is the (6) members are literally works of art in the museum, and when jin starts to “crack” at the end of the M/V, it’s because he joins them as an art piece; they’ve drawn him in (kissing tae’s statue, the hands over his eyes, tae covering up jin’s face with his hands, jin stopping to stare at the painting near the beginning) and this is how jin ends up joining the rest of the group
2) the focus shot of jungkook
Tumblr media
again, parallels to run, where there’s a solo part that’s just him staring into the cam (once after his fight with yoongi, again at the end of the M/V). he’s staring into jin’s camera and, subsequently, at jin himself - likely wondering 1) why he isn’t with the rest of the group or 2) who he is/what he’s doing
from a cinematographic point of view, this is probably just a cool transition shot, since the members all need their solo screentime + the cuts won’t be too sudden, but i like the repeating themes they’ve been using :0
3) taehyung's wings
in the beginning of the video, taehyung is seen matching himself up to a pair of wings in a box behind him. the glass to his left side says “YOUTH”
Tumblr media
the main thing to note here is that the feathers are white, compared to the thousands of other shots of tae with black wings (M/V, trailers, teasers, you name it). once he breaks the box to access them (AKA shattering youth or the illusion thereof), taehyung strips away his innocence - similar to when he killed his father “i need you”
white is a color that often symbolizes purity/chastity while black is. well. has evil and sinister connotations, as well as a demonic undertone, if you want to get biblical (hold onto this thought now; it’ll return with my jimin analysis), so it makes sense they’d use this color palette with taehyung’s storyline
4) hoseok’s wings
hoseok is seen eating his snicker bar (lov my man omfg), but after he takes a bite, the wall behinds him shatters into color. in the first round, the camera pulls tighter in on him and the word “placebo” can be seen clearly behind hobi
Tumblr media
i think this directly references the placebo effect, in which one’s condition improves/degrades depending on your mindset of your illness. in both eras, HYYH and wings short films, hoseok is often depicted dealing with drugs, pills, and medication. he and jimin are even seen in a hospital together (again, spanning both timelines), which leads me to believe that he’s using prescriptions to deal with the fact he’s suffering from something meds can’t cure. what is it? that’s a great question i only have vague answers to. it could be the fact that he’s missing his friends/bts family? is (still) suicidal? trying to cope with their loss? his condition has worsened after losing jimin, which is why he is in a max safety cell with all those pills pouring in through the walls? listen, who knows? i sure don’t, but i can definitely talk about the next shot!!!!!!!!!!! right afterwards, hoseok also gains a pair of wings, but notice they’re different than taehyung’s
Tumblr media
these are his BME wings (they show up in his intro, u can go check it out if you want). his corrupted wings. his Bad Wings. and they come from the crossover of boy and evil.
boy = youth = wings MEETS evil = dark/cool toned colors (evil) = bony (feather) structure
^ is why his wings look the way they do (thank u @ opening shot of taehyung’s YOUTH/wing box haha)
5) progression of their lives/jimin’s solo shot
there are five (?) consecutive scenes with all the boys goofing off together. the vid quality’s pretty low so i can’t tell who is who, but it seems like they’re all just chilling. hanging out. being bros. etc. so i’m lead to believe the first three “windows” of light (bc each scene is separated by a long black column) are before any bts M/V timeline. then you have jihope in a hospital/nondescript room together - directly related to run and jimin’s wings short - in opposite beds, being playful like their pillow fight in run.
last there is the truck with all 6 of the boys in the trunk from run
these shots lead up to jimin in his blindfold, holding an apple in his hand (seen clearer in the actual vid)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is his costume from bs&t/his solo stuff/is part of “lie’s” concept. the blindfold could mean many things, so i’ll focus on the apple for now. in his promo shots, he’s surrounded by many apples, something i was always confused about, BUT I AM NO LONGER !!don’t worry!!!
as bts has said multiple times, bs&t is about boys who fall to temptation, and what better symbol of temptation than eve in the garden of eden - the first woman who is unable to resist the forbidden fruit? DAMN THAT’S RIGHT !!!!!!! you can have him holding an apple - the figurehead of eve failing to resist her temptations and, therefore, the way jimin/bts fails to resist their temptations. this is why jimin’s holding the fruit in all his shots lol. it’s because he’s already picked the apple off the tree & “fallen” prey to his desires
6) Bangtan and the Curious Case of Looking Up
at the end of the video, right after jimin takes off his blindfold, the VCR cuts to bts all looking up at the sky, faces illuminated. this is likely a symbol that they literally “see the light” - a popular term that means someone has died and is crossing over to the other side/heaven/the afterlife. this makes sense, because of the HYYH theories imply everyone is dead or ends up dying (since young forever implies bts meets up in heaven)
the thing that sets this apart for me is the fact that EVERYONE BUT JIN IS LOOKING UP @ THE SKY. jin is the first member to get focus during this scene; he’s just standing there staring straight at the camera, a motif that showcases their character is detached from the rest of the members in bts’ M/Vs. it’s like they’re not quite there, even though one member may appear alongside everyone else (jin & jungkook in HYYH).
here: jin’s seen looking side to side, even a little upwards, but never completely like the rest of the members
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
besides his dashing good looks and impeccable suit taste, jin seems worried. he seems to be obviously, obviously worried. however, the other members don’t have this expression on their faces; they’re at varying levels of peace or happiness or excitement when they each get their solo cut (i’m not gonna put 6 pics after jin’s bc that would just take too much room due to tumblr’s poor image spacing rules rip, but they’re all in a thread in that link credit up top)
jin looks like he’s confused and baffled and searching for something (or someones ;;)))) amiright or amiright) during this scene - a motif that corresponds with the HYYH/my bs&t theory of jin being alone in some way, shape, or form
“WAIT” you say “BUT JIN DOES LOOKS UP AT THE END !!1!11!1!!!” you say
“yes my friend !!” i say
you are absolutely right. he is eventually seen looking up into the light like the other boys. however there are two things of things to notice: first is that he’s never looking up completely (comparison below)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and right as he fades into the background - he starts lowering his head (it’s easier to see this when the actual video is playing) back down to the camera - his expression still troubled. again, this shows he’s still separated from the rest of bts, even though he seemed to be very close to joining them.
so maybe he’s still dead. maybe he’s still trapped and he’s looking for a way out and his distress comes from knowing his members are going Somewhere Without Him, but i guess what happens next is on bts.....
i hope they keep going with this storyline; i’d love to see where it goes :0

more zeldablogging! hello, future me, i hope you’re enjoying these
today: lake hyrule!
the tower is next to not-eldin bridge so maybe i should approach from there and not faron tower
but i can see farosh's bridge from here and it's juuust the right time
maybe i'll just got wait a few moments and see if he appears
AAAH THERE HE IS!!!!
and another scale :3
i wish i could get horn shards tho :/
lol i get super sad whenever i go back to the plateau even just to glide off the tower ): old man ))):
i used to think it was so tall! and now it looks so normal bc i've seen so much taller.
did NOT miss the rain while i was at death mountain
lol i can't believe these two puny lizalfos once prevented me from crossing this bridge bc it was too difficult of a fight
and FINALLY i'm across for real
and map obtained
i feel like lake hylia is about the same size here as in tp, but in tp it feels much bigger than it does here bc this world is already so huge and dwarfs even the massive divine beasts
god i can't BELIEVE i am always so low on arrows. frankly: an outrage
lol instead of going to the lake im getting the shrines i have seen from other provinces first
whoa these colums are cool
this zone is called faron woods? not even in faron province, hahaha
ooh there's a lady here talking about the horse revival fountain! i did see something about a lord horse lake or something on the map, so i guess that's it
ugh why is it ALWAYS raining
i'll admit i'm in the stage where like, i'm okay with not walking BY every tree, just maybe seeing them all, maybe even seeing them from a distant ledge or my glider
which isn't to say the world has lost its charm or im tired of exploring, exploring and crafting is basically all you do in skyrim and it pretty much never gets old, but i'm more anxious now to uncover the plot than i was before, which speaks to the game's storytelling skills, yet still feel the compulsive need to explore Everything before moving on lol
i don't typically do a lot of post-game play so i know after i kill the final boss that'll be that
ah here's the shrine maybe the rain will have stopped by the time i get out
NOOO a combat trial......!
but it says minor test of strength so that should be okay :|
ahaha got it in half a dozen hits
unfortunately i have so many great weapons i can't hold the ones i get from this thing or the one in the chest :| i need my shit to break!! i guess i need.....to fight more. ugrh.
god i have like 12 orbs now i should go trade them in lol
i keep forgetting!!
@self pls remember
jesus. it's still raining.
me: i need to fight more!
me: sees two lizalfos, groans
if i had arrows i would just take them out from afar
that's my instinct in skyrim, you know? i'm a sniper at heart, combat isn't my thing
but i have no arrows and too many weapons so i guess i gotta change it up
lol and learn to block my shields NEVER break bc i don't use them bc i don't really know how
that and i'm always fucking carrying two-handed weapons :| i want more one-handers
MAN i one-shotted both of them when it took three hits before with the same weapon...! this atk+ helmet does not fuck around im never taking it off again
the ruins in these woods are making me feel Some Kind Of Way
i hope the lost woods are in this game
i mean, they gotta be, if the master sword is sleeping somewhere in a forest
i hope it's cool when you get the sword. that's all i care about
i'm lying i hope ganon the man is in this game too but
im trying to keep my expectations reasonable
I HEAR KASS! where are you buddy i can't see you
ooh this shrine puzzle is about a forest dragon....FAROSH, MY BUDDY
lol yesterday my brother texted me like where the fuck are you getting all these hearty radishes? me: faron my dude
faron and apparently lake hylia too are absolutely thick with them
oh my god there's a lizalfos camp here and they saw me coming from MILES away how even
naturally they've ALL got shock arrows in this very marshy watery area
good thing i can one-shot them.
oooh there's a glowing goddess statue here
ah this is where i offer a farosh scale, like i offered one for naydra and need to offer one of dinaal
weeeeellll i do have 3-4 of them now so i guess so!
i'd hate to miss a shrine and have to come back
holy SHIT there's a thunderspear in here! fair trade my dude! glad i broke one of my swords at the lizalfos camp lol
ah and now this goddess statue will let me trade orbs!! YES
i got 1 heart and 2 things of stamina which means i have 2 full wheels. i can do ANYTHING
i just swam climbed ran and glided with the same burst without putting on special gear it was GREAT
YES i found the horse lake and there's a great fairy here!!!! fuck yeah!!!!!!!
HOLY FUCK THATS IS ONE CREEPY LOOKING FAIRY
awww it plays epona's song
ah and i found a stable nearby!! good
there's an obstacle course here that i can do w/ my horse for gear, which i Want, but i SUCK at it, so
omg i made friends with a dog ;w; it follows me around
i tried to feed it meat but no dice
the start screen said something cool about befriending them...i wish i remembered what exactly!
ooh there's a quest here to catch the Giant horse...im gonna try it
im riding jemma now as well :3 these places have easy access for horses and i'm not as compulsive in my investigation of Every Single Thing so thats nice
nooooo there's a lynel in the way ;_;
even IF i snuck past it to GET the horse to REGISTER it i never could
i have to fight it. i have no choice
gotta get jemma out of harm's way first
im so nervous )))):
but i put on my soldier's gear and atk helm and drank a defense elixir and gave myself extra hearts so!!!!! hopefully!!!! it'll be ok!!!!!!!
i did it!!! it actually wasn't even too bad with the elixir and the armor
this is gonna be a long boring walk...highkey tempted to go get jemma but im afraid she would get hurt. and like. i know, i can revive her. but god.
THERE IS
ANOTHER LYNEL LOL
JESUS CHRIST
god i bet this WHOLE LANE is full of them
good thing i didn't bring jemma
beat him!! Not Even That Bad
omg I FOUND THE GIANT HORSE
and it looks just like ganondorf's, which my brother spoiled for me hahaha
IM GONNA CATCH HIM
ohhh my god im so nervous. him Big
i know it takes at least two full wheels to soothe him, which i have, but i brought potions too, like i just happened to cook some up last time
GOD I DID IT but okay jfc this is only the beginning i still gotta get him aaaaall the way back to the stable ;_;
and you have to do it at the slowest speed or he'll buck you i think
oh my god oh my god
we did manage a light trot a few times but i don't wanan risk it too much
i soothe it every time it does what i ask haha and it's given me the hearts many times!! so that's a good sign
so far so good abt halfway there
OH MY GOD A FUCKING THUNDER KEESE KNOCKED ME OFF
and shocked him!! poor baby
fucking HELL he ran away
i caught up to him and thank god he let me get right back on
maybe i'll get off and feed him some apples tbh
thank god i cleared out so many of these enemies beforehand tbh
tho i noticed lol the coyotes ran away from it maybe more things do!!
oh my god so i’ve been seeing bigass skeletons on the ground but they don’t move and i thought it was decoration or w/e, rightbut i rode past one on the way to catch the horse, and rode past it AGAIN on the way back, and IT’S A FUCKING HINOX SKELETON UP WALKING AROUND fuck no i’m glad we’re up on a cluff and it can’t see useven the live ones just sleep all the time my dude what the fuck?
HAHAHA I MADE IT
we took the last third of the way at a light trot so we're making progress!
uh holy shit apparently im already at max bond?? god Damn
oooh my gosh what do i NAME him
ganondorf's horse doesn't have a canonical name...
king of something?? idk if i even have room
thief by itself seems a little underwhelming...
ooh maybe phantom? for phantom ganon
midnight is too common, something with flames or fire could be cool for the mane but
i think phantom is what we'll go with
oh my god i'm trying the obstacle course with phantom and i LOVE this horse he turns SO well
AND once he gets to top speed, which admittedly isn't fast, he can stay there forever bc unlimited stamina!!
i still can't do the obstacle course lol the horse just straight up goes around the things most of the time and i looked up like, tips online, and apparently it's really fucking buggy, so, no. i got better things to do
LMAO so im going up to lake hylia finally and i have already run over so many birds this guy can trample anything hes a Big strong Boy i love him
oh hey there's a zora out here at this island!
ohhhh my gosh dude farosh is here at the lake too !! man he is. so cool
he? she? i saw someone online refer to them as shes
theyre named after goddeses but dragons were always boys in this series
i like girls better tho so
she doesn't stay very long here
like, she leaves very quickly as opposed to down in faron where i've seen her circle many times
oh god im at the ruined village again where i saw my first blood moon... #cursed
at least it's daytime now
OMG A FIRE WIZZROBE IM GONNA GET ME A FIRE ROD YES
omg a super fire rod. a meteor rod. #nice
lol wizzrobes are easy to fight you just use the proper elemental arrow and don't let them see you. if they DO see you you die tho
now that im not pissing myself in sheer terror these ruins make me Sad jesus christ im so sad for all of hyrule
BRUH there's a stone talus here!!!!
ugh i wanted to mark the miniboss spot but im OUT OF STAMPS
guess i can't mark cooking pots after all but with the interactive map + my sheikah sensor if i ever TRULY need to find one that should be ok i guess :/
/unmarks them all, SADLY!
killed the talus without even using any special food, haha - don’t have to be afraid of them anymore! becoming less afraid of red lynels, can’t wait for the day when i’m not afraid of guardians
there's a korok seed puzzle here where you have to roll a boulder UP a hill are yu fucking kidding me
ooh maybe i could have used stasis from up there...lmao fuck
maybe i can use it from down here
i hate using stasis tho like it fucks up your weapons and i know i said i need to break some but that's just WASTEFUL
wow and it didn't do anything from down here anyway. ok i'll just come back to this :/
hey and that's all of lake hylia explored :')

170115 Team 8 Full Group Concert Live Viewing Report
not exactly the same as a live report but you know. had some thoughts i wanted to go through with this. 
So first up being the intro with the East General Rinrin and West General Oonao, I’m really glad those two got these positions since-- despite my gunning for Oonao as 8 captain, she has said she’s not fully comfortable with the idea. But at the same time, she DOES act like a captain to the group and the idea of splitting the responsibility makes a lot of sense, especially with how Rinrin has stepped up for the East as of late. 
It was also really cute because they started up a chant of “East!” or “West!” depending on who you were “rooting” for and Oonao got confused halfway through and started chanting “East”
OP1. Ice no Kuchizuke (Sakaguchi Nagisa, Kuranoo Narumi, Oguri Yui, Yamada Nanami, Nakano Ikumi, Yokomichi Yuri, Sato Nanami) cute performance, but i did really like this choice of lineup
M01. RIVER okay this started everything off really well especially since it had some of the most intense dancing for this that i’ve seen in a while, especially from Nagi, Naru, and Ikumin. also surprisingly, Riona (not that it’s surprising that she’s a good dancer, more surprising that she was visible tbh) it also had the whole east vs. west theme going and really built hype
M03. Hoshizora wo Kimi ni (Team EAST) & M04. Shishunki no Adrenaline (Team WEST) Maybe it’s just my preferences but honestly pretty sure Shishunki won in this matchup just with how much energy they had. It’s a very energetic number, yeah, which definitely did give them a leg up so i’ll cede that. 
M06. 47 no Suteki na Machi e (Full version 47 members) : ‘ ) The fact that this is the first version with the full 47 in so long and the last with all 47 for a while makes me very sad. Emotional on that level, but honestly not the best 47 performance I’ve seen by a long shot. 
M07. Kiseki ma awanai (Hayasaka Tsumugi, Abe Mei, Yoshikawa Nanase) Okay so literally in the middle of the MC Tsumugi interrupted to be like “Hey so I have to go catch a plane like right now so that I can take an exam so even though we’re still in the same costumes and just grabbed some trillbys we’re doing our unit now.” 
They also mentioned in the MC that they’d only been practicing since this morning and you could kinda tell they were out of sync. 
Also worth mentioning is that Tsucchan very nearly dropped her hat during the toss and then just threw it out into the audience anyways.
M09. Hone Hone Waltz (Utada Hatsuka, Noda Hinano, Takahashi Sayaka, Hirano Hikaru) I just want to say that honestly this is one of my least favorite songs ever and petition for Team 8 to sTOP PERFORMING THIS PLEASE. WHY DID YOU WRITE A SONG ABOUT BONES AKI-P
Other than that, since it’s all of the new girls, they opened with self introductions, since the main concert didn’t have that. 
M10. Escape (Yokoyama Yui, Yokomichi Yuri, Yamada Nanami, Nakano Ikumi) Okay hands down best part of the concert for me, and honestly I am not too into the cool dance-heavy numbers. All of these girls were seriously skilled and got to show off their own strengths really well. Lip-syncing was awful but it was fairly clear that that was not what they were going for anyways
I want this concert to be released JUST for that number
After the music faded out and they all turn to walk offstage, Yamada turned around
“I’m sorry everyone, but, I have something to say. Actually, I... have school in the morning so I have to leave right now.”
This then kind of tied into the next number because she then had a spiel about “While I’m gone, you can play with my figures!” and dragged out the members for the next number who, of course had a little dialog about how they’re figures that can’t move when humans are watching (bc Nageki no Figure)
M15. Wimbledon e tsureteite (Oguri Yui, Sakaguchi Nagisa, Kuranoo Narumi) OH MAN THIS WAS A BIT OF A MESS HONESTLY
And I kind of hope it’s not just my memory exaggerating things
But right before they started they had a short skit sort of thing about Oguri talking about how she wanted to confess to her senpai and Nagi encouraging her 
And then Naru interrupting just flat out being “Well I mean if you’re not going to do it, then I’ll do it. And I’ll also take your position in AKB senbatsu.”
They all had a bit of a back and forth about that before launching in and oh man
Maybe I was just imagining it and I’m sure the live venue atmosphere might have been different but just??? It really felt like after that Naru was trying to show up Oguri. 
Their dancing was so out of sync. Naru was just going hard and outdancing the other two while Oguri was... honestly just doing an okay job which looked really bad next to Naru and especially in the center
Meanwhile Nagi is just dancing normally
Then they all got on the trolley things and at the end Naru stumbled trying to get off of hers onto Nagi’s and Oguri’s
And also they sung all of it live
Because we all know how well the solo concerts went amirite
M16. Kima wa Melody (Oda Erina, Chou Kurena - guitar) Honestly not the best OdaEri performance especially at the beginning, buuuuut p sure it was because she started sitting down which yeah why would you do that. By the end when she stood up it was really pretty. 
East and West Deputy Commander MC: Nakano Ikumi and Takahashi Ayane These two as Deputy Commanders make a lot of sense. But the MC itself was pretty awkward, mostly about being how they’d never actually talked before other than “Good morning” and “Good work” and such. Ayane even called Ikumin “Nakano-san” the entire time.
They did quiz each other on facts about themselves which was cute. The best part was Ayane asking about her old catchphrase and saying that it had been too embarrassing and Ikumin was just like “Your current one isn’t embarrassing? lol” like Ikumin you aRE NOT ONE TO TALK
M17. 1!2!3!4! Yoroshiku (Team EAST) & M18. Seishun no Laptime (Team WEST) (Center: Oota Nao) & M19. Max toki 315-go (Team WEST) & M20. Melon Juice (Team EAST) (Center: Yuiyui, Nagi) All of these wen tH ARD. Special mention to Seishun no Laptime which was just perfect for West and the Oonao center. Melon Juice was also very great. 
Then after they finished this rampage of sister group East vs. West songs they were basically just like “Okay let’s get along or whatever”
M21. High Tension Tsucchan casually showing up in the background in the Kiseki wa ma Awanai costume. In the MC afterwards she said she missed her plane. 
East vs West moe serifu battle: Yoshikawa Nanase, Oguri Yui, Sato Shiori vs. Gyouten Yurina, Yamamoto Ruka, Kuranoo Narumi They had to make up a moe line based on a single syllable. Highlight of this was Nanase (I think????? It might have been Shiorin now that I think about it) being given “mi” so she literally just took Oguri’s catchphrase 
M22. Kegareteiru Shinjitsu (Yokoyama Yui, Honda Hitomi, Sakaguchi Nagisa, Nakano Ikumi, Oguri Yui, Sato Nanami, Yokomichi Yuri, Tanikawa Hijiri, Kuranoo Narumi, Nagano Serika) & M23. Amanojaku batta & M24. Aisatsu kara hajimeyou & M25. Isshou no aida ni nannin to deaeru no darou & M26. Yume e no Route (Recording allowed) honestly just wanted to say that I love Team 8′s choreo and they are always so into dancing they are just wonderful to watch but where is my henachoko
So after the main show ended and before the encore call, Top Lead came out to do a drawing, basically one of the movie theaters with the live viewing got a special chance to attend a live show at the AKB Theater. Clearly, the one I was in did not get chosen. 
So my summarizing thoughts are:
As a concert it was pretty solid if only for how engaged everyone in Team 8 is and the level of some of the performances. Others unfortunately fell flat and honestly just looking back on the setlist, it’s kind of lackluster. The majority of these songs are just recycled from previous concerts. 
From a logical standpoint, I totally get that though. It must be hell to try to schedule rehearsals for a team of 47 girls who may or may not live in very different parts of the country, and also have to worry about potentially school and of course, other arrangements including another concert earlier that day, and for a certain three, an additional solo concert the day before. 
So I do kind of understand, and again, the enthusiasm here does definitely help make up for it, but I feel like the West or East concerts by themselves would have made up in the surprise or interest factor. 
Additionally a lot of the hype that built up at the beginning just... kinda faded especially when the East vs. West concept they built up didn’t really amount to anything except a couple of the group songs. 
The encore itself was super forgettable, so what I’m taking from this is that they need a good encore song for their next original song. Or to bring back Henachoko honestly.

P5R liveblog (8/?)
(Makoto arc end)
[[MORE]]
Oh, hey, Chihaya.
Idk if I'm remembering the timing right, but it looks like they took out Ryuji's interaction with those two entirely. I told him to wait outside bc of his uniform and he said he'd kill some time somewhere until I was done
It really does seem kind of awful of us to volunteer Mishima for this, especially without him knowing.
OH HERE THEY ARE
Oh, hey, they think he's interested in drag bc of how he was looking into Crossroads. They want to help him out. Still sucks that this supposed to be something funny, and that they're dragging him off without his wanting to, but it is better than it was.
UGHHHH MISHIMA IM SORRY
Oh, this translation seems different. A bit more natural, I think. Still really harsh, though. Sae...
Makoto...
FUCKING PRIESTESS LISTEN TO YOUR INNER SELF THIS IS JUST DOING SOMETHING FOR THE SAKE OF DOING ANYTHING PLEASE PULL BACK AND THINK STRATEGICALLY INSTEAD IF GOING ABOUT THIS SO EMOTIONALLY
Honestly her charm stat is in the pits. It's kind of hilarious since you need high (max? Idr) charm to progress past rank 5 with her.
Huh, if she had social stats... High knowledge, low charm, good guts, not totally sure about proficiency & kindness but I'm leaning towards okay-low proficiency and middling-decent kindness.
Now, the others...
Ryuji would have low knowledge, good guts,
Listen, I'm having trouble with quantifying their kindness. Because, they all have differing levels of what I consider personal-kindness and general-kindness
Wait. Do I really want to get on this tangent right now? ...Not really. Hold that thought. Back to the game.
GOD this was so dangerous I am honestly amazed that she got out of this okay.
GOD THAT IS SO DANGEROUS I AM HONESTLY AMAZED THAT HE GOT OUT OF THAT OKAY
Honestly I'm kind of surprised Kaneshiro doesn't have a doorman or anything.
Jeez, Kaneshiro's face looks off compared to everyone else. Like, on its own, it's a decent face, but it looks like it doesn't belong with the rest.
Huh, I wonder how many of them actually have mommies and daddies to beg money from. Let's see... Makoto is being raised by her prosecutor sister. Parents dead. Ryuji is being raised by a single mom. Dad left a long time ago. Canonically poor. Yusuke was being raised by Madarame. Mom dead. Dad out of the picture, idr how. Canonically poor, with poor money sense. Ann has parents. Successful fashion designers that she doesn't see half the year. And the protag has an ambiguous family situation. Of course, I have my headcanons, but that's nothing. Anyway, if we were going about this the way Kaneshiro wanted us to, Ann would probably be able to provide the most, followed by Makoto. (Again, leaving Ren out of this).
Guh, thinking about it like that feels shitty.
...can you even imagine an ATM with Ann's pigtails though? I mean I know the other ATMs don't have any distinguishing features but still
Anyway
Godddd, I really love when people are given reaction shots when something another character is saying is resonating or otherwise meaningful to them
Makoto: "A lot happened after we lost her father three years ago, so it's just us living together... But I'm still a child, so all I am is a burden to her..."
Yusuke: *cut-in* "......"
Me: *chef's kiss*
...it happens at other times in this game (and other stuff), too, but I just wanted to point it out. Especially bc you kind of have to infer a lot of the time when it comes to Yusuke.
OHHHDJDJSJDJJDS HE LOOKED SO SAD WHEN MAKOTO CALLED HIM A CANINE
"IT'S FOX" HE SAYS
Both Makoto and Ann called him specifically a monster cat. I wonder if the Japanese calls him a cat ayakashi or something.
What property damage did any of us cause?
Why is Shadow Kaneshiro purple anyway?
JOHANNA IS SO FUCKING COOL GODDAMN
I love Makoto's awakening ngl
But honestly, is there a /bad/ awakening in the bunch? They really killed it with the game aesthetics, you know?
"No weaknesses. Our only chance is to make them confused" or whatever she just said about confusing them. Idk if I just tune her out or if that's a new thing
Didn't Makoto have Flash Bomb or whatever that multi-phys + chance of Dizzy skill was called? Maybe she gets that at a higher level
*heavy sigh* Okay, Makoto
"I will crush him like a fly" I see what you did there
It really is nice that they're bringing up the advisor thing instead of just her doing it herself. I still feel like there should have been a little more talk about it amongst the 5 of them instead of just the 3 human-shaped guys but w/e
The references to English songs and memes is a little jarring, ngl
Man, Sae's gonna flip her shit when she hears what Makoto did to get here.
Awww Ann & Makoto are bonding
*sigh* listen, I like Makoto, I even dated her in my first playthrough of vanilla p5, but I really dislike how they just keep shilling her around this time. It's a little off-putting. I think it's a thing Atlus likes to do.
Hmm? Is the man getting joint pain on rainy days going to affect his Mementos fight?? Interesting.
Ughhhhhh Queen choosing her name and then the """strategy""" thing is exactly the same. Like her being there even changes anything about how we go about things. And we do think about what we're doing, actually! Well, mostly Morgana bc Phantom thievery is his whole schtick. But like, outside our usual plans, we successfully pulled off the heist in the Madarame Palace, for example. We also opened the locked door and dealt with that. We go about the palaces with intent! Blugh.
"it's my role to be the brain of this team and give out orders" BLUGH
And then Ryuji & Mona are into it... -_-+
I hate this part. It's awkward and dumb. There are better ways to make her their advisor, Atlus
Also someone mention that I am field leader pls. I know you did in vanilla p5 do it now as well
I wonder if they've changed her s.link abilities? They at least have to have given her 1 more thing due to the baton pass thing
I WONDER IF EIKO WILL HAVE A SPRITE NOW?!?!? I hope so ^u^
GUH I love Makoto's Queen outfit.
Oh, whoops, I forgot about that conversation. Maybe I should have put Morgana in my party.
But heck yeah, let's do a finisher! I wonder how to get these for people.
RYUJI WANTS TO DO A SHOWTIME WITH FOX "We could call it Art Run or something" I LOVE HIM
SHIT WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME I SAVED
Ugh, it's really frustrating that they're trying to get me to showtime w Ann & Morgana when all the enemies here are weak to Zio & Bufu (with a little bit of Psi & Gun thrown in for good measure).
Okay, have reorganized my party so I don't have to use an Agi-weak persona to go after enemy weaknesses. That was so embarrassing.
Oh, neat! My sleuthing instinct kicked in! ... Makoto's abilities have to have changed.
YOU MEAN SHOWTIME CAN KICK IN EVEN WHEN ONE OF THE MEMBERS IS NOT IN THE PARTY?!?!?! AHHHH
Maybe even both, idk. Morgana seemed like the best choice to heal/lucky punch so he's in my party rn but maybe when he gets swapped out later I'll find the answer to that
...this is being surprisingly easy. But I don't think I'm overleveled... Jeez, I haven't bought weapons since Kamoshida's Palace. And they give you so many clothes in this game... And accessories! Really!
But yeah, I finished that security guy in 3 moves. Morgana - Garu (absorbed), Yusuke - Bufu (inflicting Freeze), Ryuji - Headbutt (Technical) -> All-Out Attack. I remember it being a lot harder in the original. Idk.
Okay, the next one was slightly harder. It took two All-out-attacks to beat it. But hmm.
Maybe I am overleveled, though. Apparently that miniboss (??) Was only level 21, and I am 23.
Oh, I'm getting Sigma feelings. Ann's counting down for opening the vault-like door.
I don't think I've ever noticed before how neat Kaneshiro's palace music is. Well, at least the Laundering Office, anyway. What is this, exactly? It's some version of Price - that's the same melody line, but the instrumentation is all different. That's not to say that Price isn't good; it's just that I'm weak for strings & orchestra instruments in non- orchestral songs. It sounds darker and more intense. I love it
Oho? That gold vault door seems new.
Or maybe I just don't remember it.
Anyway. I really do appreciate that Morgana mentions Shadow personalities in negotiations. Like, I read the tutorial on it, but it's nice to have him like "what's this one so happy about? Well, guess we'll play long for now" or whatever he says for an upbeat shadow. It's pretty neat.
"I wonder what it'd be like if we had Palaces instead of Personas." SAME, RYUJI, SAME 👀👀👀👀👀
Hmm, I know Joker Palace has some fics, and I think I remember seeing a Crow Palace fic, but I wonder about the others...? Hmm 👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
I don't want to accidentally spoil myself, though. I'll go through the archive after I finish this.
"Your Palace would definitely be a beef bowl shop." ANN OMG
"Why'd you gotta give a straight answer right off the bat? I can't argue with that!" Ryuji pls ;u;
Why do Will Seeds all look like that? I know there are those death things with the hollow eyes like that, but is that what it is? It just seems so out of place in this technical setting. I'm kind of surprised they don't change appearances to suit their Palace. Tbh, it doesn't really look like anything that comes from Mementos, either. But I suppose it must...
WHOA, why did the Velvet Room door turn red? "I have an uneasy feeling" Same, protag, same
WHY IS THE VELVET ROOM ON HIGH ALERT
A fusion alarm? OH COME ON IT HASNT BEEN THAT LONG SINCE I FUSED ANYONE
Is this because I still have Jack Frost with me? But come onnnn I already had most of this palace's inhabitants alreadyyyy
By /fusing/ them
Could this have come at any time? Or was this scripted for now? Oh, wait, I overreacted, this says that my Personas will be stronger if I do it during a fusion alarm. Kind of incentivizes him to slack off, though, doesn't it? Lol
Oh, interesting. Look at all those accident possibilities. Nvm.
Orpheus... ;-;
Huh, I didn't realize the Picaro versions also were not just dlc
"You would like me to become your mask? Well then, let us search for the answers of life together."
*lie down* *try not to cry* *cry a lot*
Anyway.
I need to go to Mementos and find an Eligor. Gotta get that Flauros.
YES FINALLY MY GUTS INCREASED
Aww, the newspaper club girl is rooting for the phantom thieves. She's so angry at akechi rn
Oh, speaking of! Hello, Akechi!
AHHH RYUJI AND MAKOTO TEAM UP IM SO PSYCHED
Oh man it's bc of the motorcycle ISNT IT, RYUJI : DDDDDD
JDSKSKXNXJKS
The voice acting there was. Wonderful. Omfg
Actually, now that I think about it, it makes a lot of sense that Ryuji's tried to suggest team ups twice now, ever as soon as he learned they were a thing. He was on the track team, and the team aspect of that was very important to him. He likes cheering others on and being cheered on by others. Specifically by training and sweating and testing limits together - by fighting together. Of course ryuji is interested. Of course he is.
Man, I wish I had better context for the "you filthy fly on dirty money" line - I mean, obviously he's Beelzebub, who is apparently in charge of gluttony, but like, is that a phrase? Is this just a Beelzebub reference or is there more to it bc it feels like there's more to it and I don't understand bc cultural reasons
Blegh I don't want to give up my expensive items...guess I'll do this the tedious way.
Ah, here we go. Let's see how these hired guns are. Hopefully I can see the Makoto & Ryuji showtime? :3 ?
Wait, Bael? Not Beelzebub? Really? Huh?
YES IT'S SHOWTIME
HOLY SHIT I LOVE IT
I wonder why that briefcase was related to his distorted desires. We really know so little about Kaneshiro, relatively
Yusuke's kinda on the ball today.
...*snerk*
Wow, damn, Akechi was potentially onto us since the Kaneshiro calling card? He gave a list of potential candidates, maybe we were on it...
Makoto, really, it was unfair of everyone to put the burden of resolving the Kaneshiro issue on you. You really can't be blamed. you know that, right?
Oh, hey look, it's 'Gaudy Student' there in the background
Hhhhhhhhhhh there are so many choices I have 5 potential social links to do tonight. I could start Kawakami, Ohya, Chihaya, or Hifumi, or I could level up Yoshida since it's Sunday
AHH KASUMI IS SO CUTE. FUCK!
BWAHAHAHAHA justice rank 3 is. Amazing.
"I've seen everything. A vision of you groveling on the ground..." IS THIS THE THING IN DECEMBER SHES TALKING ABOUT

COMIC TEA PARTY- THURSDAY BOOK CLUB START!
Good evening, everyone~! This week’s Thursday Book Club is officially beginning! Today we are discussing Heart of Keol by keiiii~! (http://www.heartofkeol.com/)
Remember that Thursday discussions are completely freeform! However, every 30 minutes I will drop in OPTIONAL discussion questions in case you’d like a bit of a prompt. If you miss out on one of these prompts, you can find them pinned for the chat’s duration. Additionally, remember that while constructive criticism is allowed, our focus is fun and respectfully appreciating the comic. All that said, let’s begin!
QUESTION 1. What is your favorite scene in the comic so far and why?
Respheal
Any scene where Lu has reason to go "Ethan no"
Kabocha
....That's really accurate...
Respheal
Ain't it though xD(edited)
Kabocha
I'm still laughing at "What A douchebag"
SevereWxEddie
Lu sure says "Ethan, no!" a lot
Kabocha
http://www.heartofkeol.com/eng/002-06/ Yes, Ittan Nohm~ :3
Kabocha
@keii4ii -- how does that phrase break down? Is it just... ......................... an entire phrase? Or is one part of it clearly douchebag and the other the "what a"
Respheal
I think there was a bit on the train in particular where it was like "this is just going to be their relationship now huh" xD Ethan being a doofus and straight-faced Lu just "no. why. stop"
Draco Plato
I really liked how the action scenes have been handled, the effects are gorgeous
keii4ii
Ittan is a derogative uhhh.. what do you call it, determiner?
Nohm is a derogative pronoun
Megaparsec
Yeah every scene with a wyrm is just so awesome
Respheal
The wyrms are super pretty
SevereWxEddie
Oh, speaking of the train, have to say...I was very impressed with how you drew the rail infrastructure! The rails and tracks themselves looked very good.
Darkhalo4321
I loved that scene
Kabocha
Yesssss
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
Hi I dropped in, realizing I wasn't in this discord before
keii4ii
Thanks! The railroad provides lots of opportunities to do some fun perspective stuff
Mharz
My favorite scene is the geoduck scene that was really hilarious. I like Ethan and Lushaka's chemistry.
Tenor | Shinavar
Fav scene: Glowing toilet Also really gotta admire Ethan can apparently use the bathroom and hold a conversation with someone - I have kids and I can't do that
RebelVampire
i like any scene with hoodie kid. because i love the background illustrations and color work. theyre always so off putting. like when hoodie kid has all the red magic stuff surrounding and is just like "woo ethan come on lets burn things"
Kabocha
YES GEODUCKS
keii4ii
Though I'm glad most of that arc happened on a bridge, because at the end of it, I learned how much pain it is to draw the pebble variety railroad
SevereWxEddie
Ballast is...tedious
Kabocha
I always have a hard time writing that word because I wanna type "gooeyduck"
Darkhalo4321
Pyromaniac warning I guessss
Mharz
I like how Lushaka nonchalantly draws it.
And Ethan was like oooooohhhh
Draco Plato
all of the glowy effects are super cool, any use of power was just gorgeous
Tenor | Shinavar
Lushaka believes children need to be taught right, clearly /shot
keii4ii
The stick figure art was a collaborative masterpiece with Ethan adding the belly buttons
Respheal
Ahahaha makes sense that Lushaka wouldn't think to add belly buttons....
Mharz
Yeah
Megaparsec
Oh also the scene with the young Rencho and Ethan being like "OOH can you be a kitten?"
keii4ii
Not shown in the comic, but canon: the stick figures were vandalized by Danbi who returned to that spot while the others were away slaying the big jaguar
Darkhalo4321
Makes sense though- size and all?
Mharz
That scene where Ethan was pointing out he has no belly button is so fun
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
Agreed, I love the scenes where magic was being cast. And the one where it was with that Lady and the Master was quite intense. I thought the Master was going to be done for. Reason: the angle of how the fight was commencing(edited)
keii4ii
Danbi didn't want Hana to see them
Mharz
Lol danbi
keii4ii
TBH Master wouldn't have survived if Adela didn't go easy on her, out of her disdain for human suyori
RebelVampire
yes the master and adela's fight was beautiful @Joichi [Lavender Tea] like everything about the effects
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
I agreed! I need to catch up on more HnK
Mharz
I think that was the first time I saw Danbi really angry. The part when Ethan pointed out Lu has no bellybutton
Kabocha
...Oh, yeah, that... part...
Respheal
Can't really blame him though....?
Kabocha
XD He was gonna be all sympathetic for Lu and then
nawp
Respheal
I don't think Danbi's in the right, but he was (afaik) lied to there sooo
Darkhalo4321
I kind of laughed? Because he doesn't know anything about the world really and his first reaction was the belly button -
Respheal
The anger is understandable
keii4ii
Yeah, I'm partial to situations where both sides are right and wrong at the same time
Mharz
That makes me question tho, are Renchos suppose to not have that?(edited)
Megaparsec
One of Ethan's most endearing traits is his... not innocence but excitement about everything everyone else takes for granted
keii4ii
No belly buttons for Renchos!
Mharz
I-I'm curious
I mean the other thing
keii4ii
...barbs?
Mharz
rolls
Tenor | Shinavar
Mharz: He's not supposed to - he's wearing the mark of castration when he's not, if I followed the story right
Respheal
Well the tentacle's got barbs for days
Kabocha
Geoducks
Tenor | Shinavar
hence the being 'lied' to
keii4ii
Oh yeah, the dingly-doo
Tenor | Shinavar
Er, Danbi being lied to
Mharz
I should've googled that word's meaning
keii4ii
Cat Station
Mharz
Lol
SevereWxEddie
LOL!
Draco Plato
they took away his cats
Tenor | Shinavar
TBF castration is only removal of the nuts.
So even if he didn't have it I don't imagien Ethan would be any wiser
RebelVampire
they took away his cats to work on the railroad
hence the term cat station
Draco Plato
they are now the train masters
Tenor | Shinavar
wheeze
Respheal
Kinda makes me wonder how Renchos are born.....since that'd be the umbilical cord
Mharz
Oh okay
Respheal
Eggs
Mharz
My english is dumb
keii4ii
XD The eyeballs in the emoji kinda look like eggs
Tenor | Shinavar
Octopii style :D
Darkhalo4321
That's my question
Tenor | Shinavar
Lots of little litters in sacks in the water
/shot
Mharz
Pft
keii4ii
I will say Renchos are indeed born in litters
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
now I am curious about Renchos xD
Respheal
Ethan's pure curiosity is good though hahahaha
Darkhalo4321
It is
Mharz
Yeah
keii4ii
And their home world is mostly ocean dotted with small islands (well, the parts they inhabit anyway. I'm not sure if there's a huge land mass away from where they live)
Darkhalo4321
He's very curious about the world, the people there, it's good.
Mharz
What a douchebag is a pure souI I love him.
Kabocha
Oooh
Tenor | Shinavar
Oh gonna share this bc I can: 100% kept forgetting Danbi was a boy every time Ethan was shirtless bc I'd be mad he was so disrespectful
OTL
keii4ii
Poor Danbi
RebelVampire
i love how giant ethan is compared to pretty much everyone. like you get tricked sometimes cause of the closeups, but then theres those nice long shots where youre like "wow ethan you sure tower over everyone"
Sophie
Ethan's like an infant, excited about everything! It's adorable
Mharz
You know, keiiii my reaction is the same with Ethan's when I found out Danbi's a guy
keii4ii
Bwahahaha
Darkhalo4321
The Bull in a china shop comes to mind
Kabocha
How tall is Ethan, anyway?
Darkhalo4321
but a polite bull
keii4ii
6' 5" and not done growing
Respheal
Oh man I loved Ethan's reaction
SevereWxEddie
Ooof
Kabocha
NOT DONE?!
Respheal
HE BIG
Mharz
I was like dang danbi's so pretty. :y(edited)
Darkhalo4321
He'll be 10 feet when he's DONE
Kabocha
Danbi's charming, I think.
keii4ii
At full size, he'll be 6' 7" and also beefier
Mharz
I still like him tho
Ooh more beef for Ethan yes
keii4ii
There was actually a doodle of maxed out Ethan (like 6-8 years older?) that I did a while ago
Draco Plato
he has to be a big cat for lushaka
keii4ii
Slightly older Ethan
Mharz
Lu will be really pleased
Draco Plato
must be really hard to get shirts
Respheal
XXXXXL
Tenor | Shinavar
YAY NO WASHBOARD ABS.
keii4ii
He's got a little squishy over the abs
Darkhalo4321
He has REAL STRENGTH
Mharz
Yas
Tenor | Shinavar
REAL STRENGTH YES HHHHHHHHHHH <3
Darkhalo4321
he's not no gym floozy(edited)
keii4ii
Lu has enough washboard for the both of them
Respheal
True
Mharz
Perfect strong body
Draco Plato
Lu has beautiful abs
Tenor | Shinavar
Lmao
RebelVampire
ethan will be charged double for tailored clothes because of the sheer amount of fabric required
Tenor | Shinavar
After learning how you get washboard abs no ty, gimmie da meat /shot
Rebel: LOL
keii4ii
Yeah, you either gotta win the genetics lotto, or ... do some insane diet control for a six pack
Tenor | Shinavar
Better take real good care of those clothes
Diet control to serious unhealthy levels. You're supposed to have fat over the abs to protect them - so it may look nice but 9/10 you're actually super weak in real life applications of them so yeaaah
I HOPE KITTY BOI IS OKAY D:
keii4ii
He's okay. If he starts putting on fat, he'll start putting them on his already massive thighs first
(they have different fat distribution patterns, lol)
Tenor | Shinavar
wheeze
Fair!
SevereWxEddie
So those abs would not in fact be rock hard and a punch to them would be really bad, then?
Tenor | Shinavar
So- can he crush a melon with dem thighs
asking for a friend >> <<
Mharz
He has tentacles tenor he's fine
Tenor | Shinavar
/Almost made a hentai joke
/Gunna go get a drink lol
Megaparsec
On a totally unrelated note the Lu-catfish was hilarious
keii4ii
X'D derpfish
Mharz
Lol
keii4ii
Not as derp as puffer, but hey
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
@RebelVampire haha I was wondering when the tailors have to charge Ethan for the clothes he has to be handmade for him
keii4ii
It wouldn't be as bad as it would be for Lushaka, if he lived in our world
Mharz
Pft
keii4ii
I'm pretty sure his thigh circumference > his waist circumference
Respheal
Oh geez yeah
Mharz
Heck yeah
His thigh is really big
Never skip leg day folks
Draco Plato
yis
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
i always like that aspect of Heart of Keol, that you designed Ethan that he is drastically different from the rest of the people. Other than Lushaku, i think hes sort of muscular too
keii4ii
Yep, Ethan is beefy
Beef filled cinnamon roll
(sounds like a Middle Eastern food...)
Mharz
Mmmmm
Draco Plato
yeah the different body shapes are really cool to see
Sophie
Very diverse cast, yup!
Mharz
I really like how Keiiii pulled that off :3
keii4ii
I'm glad to hear! I have a lot of fun drawing the different bodies
Tenor | Shinavar
I love it too~
keii4ii
like they're ALL various types of "conventionally attractive" bodies, but still different
Mharz
Yasss
Draco Plato
yeah that is really neat~!
Sophie
Everybody is so easily to read and keep apart from another. It's really great!
keii4ii
I had readers point out Adela's boobs helped them remember who she was, when she reappeared in chapter 16
Mharz
Pft
Draco Plato
omg XD well they do help
her hair and ears is how i recognized her at that point
Mharz
She does have really huge boobs
Draco Plato
and her shoes
Mharz
Same draco
RebelVampire
QUESTION 2. Within the comic, Ethan has a plethora of mysteries surrounding him. What do you think happened to Ethan’s dad? Does Ethan’s Dad’s disappearance have some connection to Keol, or is it unrelated? Who is the child-like figure who initially sends to Ethan to Keol? Why send Ethan to Keol in the first place? What is the figure’s interest in Ethan? Is Ethan somehow special, especially in regards to his apparent powers he unlocks? What do you think the child figure’s connection to the Queen might be (if any)? Does it have something to do with the Queen’s missing mate? Lastly, do you think Ethan will get home? If he does, do you think he’ll regret it?
keii4ii
Yeah, I have to draw her body without boobs first, and then add the boobs in order to avoid anatomy disasters
Mharz
By the looks of it, the hooded dude is his Dokkabi?
Respheal
That's the gist I got
The fact that his dad was scared of outlets--what was up with that O.o
Darkhalo4321
Makes me wonder-
Respheal
I mean...PTSD, but....outlets?
Tenor | Shinavar
2: Ethan's dad was a Prisoner of War - and suffering from serious PTSD is my bets - assuming the whole sory isn't some metaphysical message in Ethan's head ofc <_< I feel Hooded kid is the Dokkabi, too, since there's a symbollic pattern. BUT the curiousity is the Queen because she has the symbol, too, but that's explain away her immoretality - so my theory is the kid is the queen calling Ethan to her side.
SevereWxEddie
Electircal based "aggressive interrogation" techniques?
Darkhalo4321
I was thinking Light too? He was in the corner if I recall-
Tenor | Shinavar
Resp: TOrture technique
SevereWxEddie
Electrical
Tenor | Shinavar
The buzzing of lights can be used in torture
Mharz
Also yeah I'm curious what happened to Ethan's dad. He was scared of the electric socket which makes me wondered if he was electrecuted or struck by lightning
Tenor | Shinavar
and outlets can carry that sound
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
wow that is alot of questions to answer, like 8 Qs XD
Respheal
Well, I did guess that, since he seemed to also be scared of lightning
Aaaah true
SevereWxEddie
Is it ever explicitly stated which war Dad went off to?
Respheal
The minute buzzing
keii4ii
@Joichi [Lavender Tea] Combo attack
Respheal
For real xD
keii4ii
@SevereWxEddie Nope!
Draco Plato
wondered if his dad was in the world ethan is in now
SevereWxEddie
.....
Draco Plato
went through the red gate
SevereWxEddie
Oooo. THERE'S a theory
Tenor | Shinavar
I do think Ethan will make it home however I hope i's not too soon because as it is right now I don't think Ethan could handle leaving his new friends behind lol
Megaparsec
How long was he gone? Does it match up with the opening frequency?
Draco Plato
it actually didn't sound like people were really able to get back since they were there awhile
the people who'd gone through the gate
Tenor | Shinavar
But tbf, how would they know they did get back?
And not just went missing?
SevereWxEddie
@keii4ii does it matter which war it was, as in plot-relevant, or is it more of a "this happened in the story past?"
Tenor | Shinavar
Unless they reversed fireballed into the sky /shot.
Mharz
Must have something to do with the Heart?
keii4ii
@SevereWxEddie The latter
Megaparsec
Oh never mind the Red gate opens every year
Tenor | Shinavar
I liiike the idea his dad went into the world though because that would mean there is a way to get back
Kabocha
So, I was thinking hoodie kid was actually like................. ...................related to the empress
Draco Plato
the heart is the titular character
Tenor | Shinavar
somehow
Draco Plato
so i mean
Sophie
I'm wondering what people back are thinking Ethan is doing? I mean he's been gone for a bit by now...
Draco Plato
i wonder if time passes differently
RebelVampire
maybe nobody cares ethan is gone.
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
that's an interesting discussion on whether the travelling MC will go home, probably that's the end solution. But I'm definitely intrigued where the father went, the idea of war and torture sounds likely.. gosh that is so sad. I was debating whether his father had been struck with a deep mental illness, maybe even dementia
SevereWxEddie
It could be like Narnia all over again
keii4ii
@RebelVampire
RebelVampire
are just like "i guess thats one less mouth to feed"
Draco Plato
oh no not narnia XD
Tenor | Shinavar
Rebel: I hope not
Mharz
:c
Tenor | Shinavar
Getting tired of reading that lmao
Draco Plato
well when he was going through reasons to go back it didn't really sound like he needed to go back
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
aw that is so sad Rebel, its like turning Ethan's story to the angst teen comic D:
Mharz
Lol

like maybe my grandad will remember me once isn't a great reason to go back probably if he builds a life with friends and family in the new world
Tenor | Shinavar
Kabo: /Delayed: How would you reckon, if kid is related to the empyrss, how hey avoided being seen so far only by Ethan?
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
hmm my theory is, if I know about alt world travelling, probably time is different? OR or what if Ethan's family has 'missing poster' signs when he gets a glimpse of his world?
Mharz
I think it's a Dokkabi thing, tenor
Becos he saw the one with the lady
Tenor | Shinavar
Yeah but that wyrm wasn't as developed as the kid
Though hey carried the same symbol, the lady didn't have that symbol the wyrm did
Sophie
I could imagine red riding hood is some sort of gate keeper for the red gate?
Tenor | Shinavar
versus the wueen
omfg I can't type I'm so sorry lol
Kabocha
“Kabo: /Delayed: How would you reckon, if kid is related to the empyrss, how hey avoided being seen so far only by Ethan?” @Tenor | Shinavar -- magic.
Tenor | Shinavar
I mean- fair -
Kabocha
or a spiritual connection, but you know, teh dokkabi theory is solid
RebelVampire
maybe ethan did eat a wyrm but it was on earth so he didnt know. and the kid is the mental manifestation of said wyrm(edited)
Mharz
I do like his rainbow eyes tbh
Draco Plato
that'd be interesting rebel
Tenor | Shinavar
He though it was a octopus
Draco Plato
maybe it's the kid he didn't know he had
Mharz
Pft
Kabocha
Are we going to imply that this is all a bad food poisoning trip
Respheal
YES
Kabocha
and Lushaka is just his guilt for eating bad octopus
Respheal
no
Mharz
Lol
RebelVampire
that is my second crazy theory. ethan is the destined queen's mate and hoodie kid is their future child who astrally projected themselves there for mystery reasons
Draco Plato
hurt a cat once and ate an octopus
Respheal
kabo no
Tenor | Shinavar
Lushaka is the local stray
Draco Plato
omg rebel mine too
Kabocha
@RebelVampire SEE THAT WAS MY THEORY
Draco Plato
legit thought that
Kabocha
BUT NOT A CRAZY THEORY
Respheal
Y'KNOW
Yeah soon as I heard "destined mate"(edited)
I was like
Tenor | Shinavar
Personally I'm hoping 'destined mate'is like 100% a misunderstanding
Draco Plato
yup, was like oh hey must be ethan, that you ethan
Kabocha
Or Danbi.
Tenor | Shinavar
and the wyrm-queen can only be freed by being tied to someone so she can gtfo
Draco Plato
yeah could be danbi
Respheal
I imagine if that IS the case I imagine it'll get subverted
Megaparsec
Supposed to be a Visitor I think
Respheal
Yeah
Sophie
Eyes overloading....
RebelVampire
the plot twist is the queen has been dead for years. everyone just assumes shes alive because theyve been receiving orders from someone behind a curtain.
ethan must expose the wizard of oz essentially
SevereWxEddie
Ooo
Draco Plato
i wondered that one too rebel
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
lmao the wizard of Oz reveal
Draco Plato
if she was really dead
Kabocha
See, I had also initially assumed the Queen was the kid
Respheal
saaaaame
Darkhalo4321
SAME KABO
Tenor | Shinavar
Saaaam
e
Darkhalo4321
But someone stole the JOB
Kabocha
......................Yes?
Draco Plato
yeah, cause of the tattoo on their face
Megaparsec
Still could be, with shapeshifting or whatever
Darkhalo4321
TRUE-
Mharz
Yeah
Megaparsec
or astral projection
Respheal
The tattoo is different though
Slightly
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
I thought the red hooded kid was a mysterious figure and immortal xD I might be simple minded.
Respheal
But they're almost certainly related
Does that make the queen a dokkabi...spirit....thing?
Kabocha
GASP!
How long do dokkabi live for
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
yeah I'm thinking about that once..
Mharz
It's a wyrm god
Draco Plato
they could be world hoppers too, ones that can control it
Tenor | Shinavar
Oh god
Respheal
It's never explained what world the queen comes from, and there's just the three gates
Tenor | Shinavar
-Might have caught on to Kabo's gasp-
You thinkin she needs new bodies to stay immortal/controls hrough them?
mathtans
mk, I'm here... couldn't seem to get off the first page of the comic though, nothing would load. (j/k)
I did only manage to get to the end of 8 though. Busy week. ^^
Kabocha
Is Ethan... the new Queen
keii4ii
And how does the Elyeo eugenics thing figure into all this
@mathtans XDDDD
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
PFFFTT Ethan the queen?(edited)
Mharz
Gasp
Tenor | Shinavar
Well considering everything we've been told has been unraveling, we don't acually know what's fact with the Elyeo
so I don't trust shit lol
Respheal
all hail the new Father King Mother Queen
Darkhalo4321
same tenor
mathtans
The Queen is actually a dude. Calling it now.
Kabocha
well, I mean, like If the queen is a Dokkabi and Dokkabi need a body... ....And hoodie kid is somehow related to the queen...
Draco Plato
maybe their hair is the secret to the red gate
keii4ii
That's a good attitude probably at this point in time not trusting shit
Kabocha
and ethan has a dokkabi...
RebelVampire
well if were going through the life sucking or body sucking then it seems likely the elyeo magic is needed to sustain that. dont elyeo live super long?
Megaparsec
At first I wondered if the Elyeo died in childbirth
But that's been mostly disproven
Respheal
Okay but also Ethan using the magic stuff was pretty awesome
Darkhalo4321
yes ^
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
I'm intrigued with the Elyeo lore too, as well as the Renchos
Tenor | Shinavar
Yeeee
Respheal
BUUUUUUURRRRRRN(edited)
keii4ii
ACTUALLY ------- ... ... (minor spoiler but I should still refrain)
Darkhalo4321
REFRAIN
Respheal
BE STRONG KEIIII
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
poor Keii, can't reveal anything yet
Mharz
Rencho lives longer iirc
Than elyeos
Tenor | Shinavar
Also I'm mad at everyone in that party when they had Hana and didn't think of finding a way to hide her ears while travelling. innocent babies asking for trouble ((I'm sure KittyBoi let i stay out for the trouble. He's a cat.))
keii4ii
Yeah, Lushaka is older than any Elyeo could ever be
mathtans
As to fave scene (again, only through the first 8), I kind of liked the dawning revelation of gender on Ethan's part. Just cleverly foreshadowed by the townsperson, then interesting graphics as the lightbulb went on.
The fight scenes were amazing too though.
Kabocha
Re: burning https://youtu.be/LH-QwK4v0ZI?t=88
Respheal
Kabo no
RebelVampire
@mathtans great scene choice math
Mharz
I like the gif on that
keii4ii
@Tenor | Shinavar Her ears were actually hidden when they ran into those bandits! The dude was just feeling for her ears just in case, out of the assumption that a white girl = potentially Elyeo
Darkhalo4321
oooo
Draco Plato
yeah her hair was covering her ears
keii4ii
Schrodinger's Elyeo
RebelVampire
ah thats right. but rencho probably dont make good body double things. cause if i was a body stealing "immortal" queen, id picked the bodies that could do the magic plant shit
Kabocha
^ YES 100%
I'm onboard with this.
Mharz
I mean yahhh
Draco Plato
plus plants are symbolic of new life and renewal
keii4ii
Yeah if you're immortal and you can steal bodies easily, longevity of the target body probably isn't a big factor
Tenor | Shinavar
I couldn't tell sorry :(
keii4ii
Though if it's difficult, that changes things
Megaparsec
Especially if you have a whole bunch of them right there
Tenor | Shinavar
But tyty on the heads up~
Kabocha
So... You know, maybe... Danbi's mom is now the Queen.
Temporarily.
mathtans
I found that whole 'listening to plants but being unable to talk back' aspect of the world building really neat.
Tenor | Shinavar
Makes me wanna punch them more lmao
Mharz
Kabo
Darkhalo4321
OH That's a good plot twist Kabo-
Draco Plato
forgive me danbi i must leave you to rule the world
Mharz
Rip
Superjustinbros
HAI
mathtans
"Am I not part of the world? Rule me."
Mharz
His mom seem to be a special kind of Elyeo
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
ohh I was wondering where her ears were, i didn't even see them in the comic
Tenor | Shinavar
Nah it's Danbi's mom but not her mind. Danbi gonna run up and hug mom and mom's gunna have a twisted smile on her face like 'Lol oh dear this is a problem"
RebelVampire
now tbf, maybe she didnt leave to rule the world. she went to help the queen and the queen keeled over. and danbi's mom is nothing if but an opportunist
keii4ii
@Joichi [Lavender Tea] They actually braid her hair around her ears
Mharz
Pft
Kabocha
Danbi's certainly an oddity though, being a male Elyeo...(edited)
Superjustinbros
Sorry I'm late, got caught up in this one thing I was doing
Mharz
He's half human tho
Draco Plato
looool
Tenor | Shinavar
Hana's braids pop up and twirl with her ears. Lil helicopter blades
Draco Plato
i would love that if the mom was just an opportunist
Mharz
Lol
Megaparsec
Well normally half human elyeo are just elyeo
As far as we know
Tenor | Shinavar
Annnd now stuck with Hana's braids spinning like the leek song, I'm off to feed my children brb
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
I'd love to see a twist with Danbi's mom, whichever it'll be!
Respheal
“ Does Ethan’s Dad’s disappearance have some connection to Keol, or is it unrelated?”
I don't remember seeing this answered yet--I'm gonna say no. Ethan's flashbacks and dreams have sorta had Keol elements to them, but I'm attributing that just to him being in Keol and probably some of the Dokkabi influence. I don't think his dad is connected to Keol
Mharz
The thing is Elyeo's are all women
mathtans
Oh, and that braids thing! With the one braid meaning available but more meaning not ready for a relationship, that was fascinating to me. We need a system like that on Earth, maybe.
Kabocha
Ethan's dad is just baggage
Mharz
Which makes Danbi real strange
Draco Plato
is danbi trans
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
oh YES, I really like that culture too about the braids @mathtans I'd wish we had that system too(edited)
Draco Plato
if they're all women
keii4ii
He's cis
There was actually a bathhouse scene that got canceled
that would've answered that question
Draco Plato
so then he's a one of a kind
Megaparsec
As far as we know...
Draco Plato
yis
Respheal
If elyeo have a son with a human, the child is a human though right?
Darkhalo4321
Bathhouse sceeeene
Draco Plato
no they're supposed to be elyeo still i thought
keii4ii
@Respheal We may find out soon-ish!
Mharz
No I think they'll be elyeo
keii4ii
"soon-ish" in webcomic time terms
Kabocha
NOOOOOOOOOOO
Superjustinbros
Can I just jump in and say I like the art style/setting of this comic? It definitely hits the asian/oriental theme perfectly.
Kabocha
Soon TM
Draco Plato
five years from now we will know
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
I thought Danbi simply dressed in women's clothes because of the job as a Sayori (?)
Megaparsec
It's been said in story that they would be elyeo, might be inaccurate though
Mharz
Tbf Danbi is wearing pants(edited)
RebelVampire
the specific wording was that daughters are guranteed to be elyeos
it said nothing about sons
keii4ii
It's been said their daughters will be Elyeo! But nothing's been said about sons
Mharz
Gasp
Megaparsec
Ah! Did not notice that!
keii4ii
Actually
The Korean version had Master say something about the sons, haha
Mharz
Me neither
Gasp
Kabocha
Since it was stated in the Korean version, can you... spoil us? :3
Mharz
Must. Learn. Korean
mathtans
SJB: Yeah, blows my mind about there being a Korean version that's translated. I wonder what gets lost in transition.
SevereWxEddie
Ditto
Superjustinbros
inb4 no spoiling
oh snap Korean owo
keii4ii
Elyeo sons all take after the father species (which makes sense if you think about how they reproduce in their home world: they reproduce with plants, not only continuing their own species, but also continuing the plants' as well)
mathtans
Cool plan about the speech balloons too. Lots of little touches like that. Makes me wonder what it looked like before apparently some edits were done on earlier pages.
Superjustinbros
That's cool seeing comics getting translated into asian languages(edited)
Draco Plato
oooooo
Megaparsec
HMMMM
But not entirely, because he has the funny hair color
mathtans
"That guy is a wall flower." has a whole different meaning on other worlds.
Latisha
That's interesting
Mharz
Come to think of it, we dont know who Danbi's dad is either
keii4ii
@Megaparsec Yep, the hair could still be an anomaly even with this new info!
@mathtans
So I don't know if I mentioned this in the authors' notes anywhere, but Elyeos are never heterosexual because they come from a world with no humanoid males.
Respheal
I got the gist that Danbi might have the genetics of an Elyeo, but the phenotype (since he's male) is....mostly human xD
Superjustinbros
Ooooooooh
So we're talking, 100% lesbian?
keii4ii
Some lesbian, some pan
Danbi's mom was pan
Mharz
:y
Superjustinbros
At least you're not forcing les or pan pride down the reader's throats like what I see in a lot of things nowadays
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
awesome, I wanted to ask if there were queer characters in HnK that's a nice explanation too
RebelVampire
QUESTION 3. Danbi, who inevitably starts Ethan on his quest to the Heart of Keol, has plenty of his own mysteries. Do you think Danbi’s Elyeo heritage will get the group into trouble somehow? What do you think happened to Danbi’s mother? Is she at the Heart of Keol, or is something else going on? Do you think she’s even still alive? Do you think she was taken away, or did she perhaps leave by her own choice? Do you think Danbi will manage to locate her? And if so, what do you think will happen? What do you think Danbi will do if he reaches the Heart of Keol and finds out she isn’t there? Speaking of which, what in general do you think the Queen’s interest in Elyeo is?
keii4ii
@Joichi [Lavender Tea] The Dokkabi lady is also ace/aro! There's at least one other queer character who's been introduced, but I... may keep that one secret since it's a secret for her
(queer other than Elyeos, that is)
Mharz
He did dye his hair, right?
Superjustinbros
Ooooooo~
keii4ii
(Elyeos AND Renchos)
mathtans
Danbi's mother is new Queen. Calling it now. ^^
Latisha
I think it will bring trouble sometime later
Mharz
Renchos are all men, correct?
Superjustinbros
tfw I just remembered Queer and Queen rhyme
Respheal
I wonder if that's the transgender character you mentioned early on
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
@keii4ii aw thank you, no problem, glad to have that confirmed ^^
keii4ii
@Mharz THERE WAS THAT GIRL!
Mharz
Oh yeah dang
Wooops
keii4ii
Though I guess it could've been a boy wearing a skirt
Superjustinbros
SPOILED
keii4ii
Naw, the Rencho girl is cis
Mharz
Sorry that slipped my mind lol
mathtans
Gotta have a girl somewhere. Only guys are disposable.
keii4ii
It's fine! She hasn't had a lot of screentime
Superjustinbros
lmao
Mharz
I'm curious if Danbi dyeing his hair works
Superjustinbros
Would Danbi get powers of he deyed his hair(edited)
Respheal
Elyeo hair doesn't seem like it....glows or anything
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
I want to believe Danbi's Mama is alive now everyone's theories make me have a feeling she may make a return. I mean at first the implications seem like she was taken away.
Mharz
At least he doesn't have ears
Respheal
So I can't imagine it'd show through the dye
Mharz
That made sense tho why he's braiding it
mathtans
Maybe Ethan will have to make a choice between getting back to see his Dad and saving Danbi's Mom.
Superjustinbros
Just maybe(edited)
Mharz
Becos there's their tradition about hair
Tenor | Shinavar
3> Yes, Danbi's already causing problems just due to how careful they have to be. I believe mom originally went to the heart but if she's still there is up to debate. I do like the concept she left of her own choice - mostly because I'm exhausted of constantly reading about bad parents and it's been getting hella isolating so the idea she'd have gone willingly, to protect her children, is really want I hope for.
SevereWxEddie
@mathtans ooo, that's mean
keii4ii
We writers are a mean breed
Darkhalo4321
WE ARE
RebelVampire
im torn on what i believe about the mom. i expect a subversion of them finding her at the heart though. so not being there, was there but died of something unrelated, going somewhere entirely.
Superjustinbros
>giving your characters in your stories hell The truth, keii
RebelVampire
maybe ethan is wrong, a gate opened on his world, and danbi's mom was on earth the whole time.
Mharz
Gasp
mathtans
Nadeko agrees.
Maybe Danbi's mom is the mystery woman who sent Ethan?
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
@Tenor | Shinavar I agree with the bad parents, and the neglectful parent trope
Megaparsec
Ooh do we have evidence people get pulled out of this world too?
I don't think anyone's said anything but I guess they wouldn't know
Tenor | Shinavar
Joi: I'm okay with it once in a while but honestly it feels like it's been nothing but everything I've read lately to the point I think I'm getting sensitive to the topic lmao
Mharz
Not yet at least
mathtans
There's no evidence to the contrary. ^.^
Mharz
Tho I think it's a possibility.
keii4ii
There's something I wanna point out, and it's been shown in the comic, but merely pointing it out might count as a spoiler
Tenor | Shinavar
lulll
Megaparsec
I wonder if the linked worlds get portals between them too
Mharz
That ppl can go from keol to earth.
Tenor | Shinavar
^It would support the "Dad went to Keol" theory
Superjustinbros
oh boi spoilers
Tenor | Shinavar
and backs the chance Ethan can get home
bc tbh, I think he needs to go home. He doesn't have closure
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
*half reading the rest of the comic, half responding.
Tenor | Shinavar
and the idea that he'll just up and abandon his dad feels off
Mharz
Yas
No he does intend to go back
Tenor | Shinavar
I understand he doesn't have the best life but considering how absorbed and protective he is of his faher, I can' imagine him leaving that just because he made some friends
keii4ii
Yeah
Darkhalo4321
What if he could go home, but go back?
I'd be okay with that-
Mharz
Remember the first time he heard of he heart is that there's a way he can go back to Earth there
Superjustinbros
The power of friends.
Mharz
Why he agrees to come with Danbi
Tenor | Shinavar
True
SevereWxEddie
Very true
Respheal
I don't think they know there's a way back at the Heart
Mharz
He clings to the hope his dad will remember him
Respheal
Just that, if there IS a way, someone there would probably know
mathtans
waits for keii4ii to point out the thing...
keii4ii
Not sure if a good idea
Mharz
Lol
Tenor | Shinavar
See I'm more curious: Is it dad doesn't remember him, or is dad locked into a level of traumatized dellusion to the point he doesn't see Ethan is there
Superjustinbros
@mathtans
mathtans
Thing about Ethan going home is I feel like that would be at the end of the comic? Since him coming started it all off.
Tenor | Shinavar
Because in war PTSD you can relive that moment over and over and over-
(Assuming it's that ofc)
Mharz
He thinks Ethan is his dad tho(edited)
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
right now its just fan speculation, I don't mind if the author prefers to show it in the work
Tenor | Shinavar
Mharz: That can be a triggering thing happening still
SevereWxEddie
@Tenor | Shinavar
Mharz
Yahh
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
yeah I agree with Mathtans, I typically expect it to be at the end, or near the end
Superjustinbros
PTSD sounds scary though
Mharz
It does
Tenor | Shinavar
A friend's father who had severe PTSD thought he was someone in the army he faced down
Respheal
Since it's mostly guessed at that electricity might have been a torture method resulting in Ethan's dad's current state, it's also possible the electricity literally fried his brain a bit (edited)
Superjustinbros
Christ
Tenor | Shinavar
He's been beaten up by his dad in those moments because he's mentally not there
I's horrifying and TBH If it IS that, I feel SO MUCH for Ethan and his mother especially
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
yikes that is really hard to live with..
Mharz
Sorry I have to step off early. It's gym day today. I'll answer the rest of the questions later. :'3
Tenor | Shinavar
Bai Mharz~
Superjustinbros
Alright, cya
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
see you Mharz
Superjustinbros
What a hard life these guys have lived
Tenor | Shinavar
Resp: Could also be Ethan looks like his dad, too, since Ethan got raits from his dad
so it just who he assumes it is?
Respheal
Oh true
keii4ii
Someone in the comment section noticed in the tentacle market scene, that Ethan acts like someone who had a lot of experience caring for a person with serious triggers (since he was kinda assuming the sight of tentacle food = triggers for Lushaka). I was so happy that they noticed it (•̩̩̩ ᴗ •̩̩̩)
Draco Plato
the electricity could relate to something on keol since their glowy powers could be seen as that
Superjustinbros
lol
Kabocha
I had... assumed that would be the case too XD
he was like "NO LU, THEY'RE NOT TRYING TO EAT YOU"
RebelVampire
tbh though what happens if ethan goes back on that vain hope his dad will recognize him and nothing of the sort happens? i feel that would be horribly traumatizing for ethan, and the situation probably is already traumatizing
Respheal
@keii4ii that was so cute
keii4ii
@Draco Plato And if they can "burn," who says that can't include frying things with electricity?
Draco Plato
yus, exactly
Tenor | Shinavar
Rebel: If he's matured enough to accept what's happened, he could theoretically find peace
theoretically
Superjustinbros
That's actually pretty clever
Tenor | Shinavar
Big emphasis
mathtans
So, about Danbi, will there be a scene where he has to go undercover as a woman? (seeks a more lighthearted thread)
Tenor | Shinavar
Because that'll depend a lot on how he matures, if he matures
SevereWxEddie
Maybe, but that would sound like it could be a very downer "ending"
keii4ii
@mathtans Technically he is unintentionally doing that 24/7
SevereWxEddie
@RebelVampire
RebelVampire
i do not look to ethan as my beacon of potential maturity yet XD
mathtans
@keii4ii This is true... intentionally then?
Draco Plato
I wondered if ethan was something other than human too and that he has a deeper connection to keol
Tenor | Shinavar
Plot Twist: Ethan is the one who has to go undercover as a woman
keii4ii
Actually there was a canceled arc
Draco Plato
that'd be a very Thor mythos moment, lol
Kabocha
All hail Queen Ethan?
Darkhalo4321
OOooh- That's an interesting twist @Draco Plato
keii4ii
where Danbi had to pose as a female suyori
But he didn't want to
SevereWxEddie
If Ethan comes back and nothing has changed that would be a very downer ending. If he comes back and his adventures help him find peace in his situation, I suppose that would be bittersweet?
keii4ii
So Ethan proposed that he (Ethan) and Lushaka also dress as women, for morale
Superjustinbros
Did Draco just pull a twist?
keii4ii
So the three of them show up at the destination wearing feminine clothes
Tenor | Shinavar
Lushaka was the prettiest, I bet /shot
RebelVampire
this sounds like a good arc.
keii4ii
and the local head suyori (the person they were attempting to deceive) instantly picks out Lushaka, not Ethan, as a man in disguise
Draco Plato
wouldn't his hair give him away
cause of how it grows in
Tenor | Shinavar
...would it? Cause we only know how boys grow, not girls
Draco Plato
we saw the little girl's hair tho
Tenor | Shinavar
If it's not the same then yeah
Draco Plato
and it grew all around
keii4ii
because she assumed someone who looks like Ethan would have to be really dumb to try to pass as a woman, so Ethan must be an ultra-masculine woman
Tenor | Shinavar
True - I just assumed she was longer furred and was using that lmao
Superjustinbros
How common are ultra-masculine women in this world anyways?
mathtans
So Ethan has to dress up like a woman and is mistaken for Danbi's mother. Hijinks ensue.
Superjustinbros
Kinda curious now
keii4ii
Naw, the little girl's hair was also short on the sides. But her ear fluff covers her head too much
Draco Plato
oooh okay
keii4ii
Also remember she asks Lushaka if he's "secretly her age" based on his hair
So the hair thing is more related to physical maturity
Tenor | Shinavar
Ahh ok
keii4ii
Like a lion mane
Draco Plato
which made me wonder if girls get hair all around sooner
and that his height difference should have been a tip off to her that he was older
keii4ii
Hence "secretly"
"are you actually a kid who happens to be super tall and uh... not very kid-looking"
Draco Plato
do girls get hair all around sooner than boys do?
Superjustinbros
"Maybe."
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
aw I would have love to see that arc where Ethan and Lushaka dress as women. Since I see Danbi as Danbi being cute, because he fits in any clothes
keii4ii
@Draco Plato Yeah. Girls grow faster
Draco Plato
so then you could identify lukasha as a boy by that at his height and apparent age
Tenor | Shinavar
LOL
Omg Luk on stilts
wheeze
keii4ii
Not really, he's not supposed to have that kinda hair when the rest of his body is clearly adult
RebelVampire
i want the arc mostly for ethan trying to pass as a woman. cause literally danbi, why would you think thatd work at all
Superjustinbros
"Drag time, you say?"
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
yes, I really like that twist!
mathtans
Would Ethan wear one braid? O.o
Tenor | Shinavar
C-Can he wear a braid?
Or would it be an amazing wig?
Superjustinbros
This would be a fun twist~
keii4ii
Maybe they can make a baby braid out of Ethan's floof
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
it would probably be a wig XD
Draco Plato
technically ethan could pass as a woman in the sense they have different species passing through the red gate regularly and he could just be a new species
should just tell them that
Tenor | Shinavar
True
mathtans
"I'm actually a mineral."
Respheal
A very, very big species
Superjustinbros
Interesting
RebelVampire
touche, he is the new giant species
Tenor | Shinavar
Ethan just pulls out all the cultural knowledge he knows from America to try to make up a new species from the Red Gate
keii4ii
He's not a human, he's a Murican
Draco Plato
I am cowboy
Tenor | Shinavar
MURICAN AKSJDHKALSD

I'm sure he would've loved to put on his robe and wizard hat when he first met Adela
Superjustinbros
"fix your fruits please."
Kabocha
He sure was going there with Danbi
mathtans
"Wait, that's not a wizard HAT...."
SevereWxEddie
Why am I now reminded of that scene from "Robin Hood: Men in Tights?"
Superjustinbros
>Men in Tights
RebelVampire
the idea of ethan trying to fight adela in a wizard robe and hat is too funny
Tenor | Shinavar
Though speaking of Adela, I'm curious on her role. I know she serves to bring in others of her kind but it makes me think how bad it is ifor them there if she's willing to do it
Like, is she getting something out of it? Does she feel the outside world is worse?
RebelVampire
well the outside world is filled with hunters
Respheal
MMMMMMMMM just because you're part of a group doesn't mean you won't do nasty things to that group
mathtans
Less of a minority?
Kabocha
It's safer for sure
Maybe she wants to be next in line for empress
RebelVampire
but also what res said
Tenor | Shinavar
Resp: Tis true, I'm just curious if she is or is she doing it as a sense of righteousness
An evil for the greater good or however the statement goes
RebelVampire
QUESTION 4. Plenty of other events in the comic still have their own needed answers. Do you think Lushaka has an ulterior motive for traveling with Ethan and Danbi? Do you think Lushaka will be able to get his legs healed, or will he be suck with the poison? What about Adela? Do you think she’ll manage to overcome her head injury to hear the plants again, or is something else going on? What does Adela have to do with the “song” Danbi remembers hearing in the past surrounding his mother? World wise, what do you think is going on with the people of Xi? Will their outrage affect Ethan’s group in some way? Lastly, due to the similar Korean language, do you think there’s a hidden connection between Keol and Earth?
Respheal
Certainly she thinks it's probably the best choice, but maybe based on incomplete information
Superjustinbros
Get them healed
I doubt medical services are that primitive(edited)
Kabocha
Give Adela 2 or 3 years, she'll be fine. I think. I mean.
Respheal
My guess re: language was that one of the first Earth people to get sucked into the red gate was probably Korean?
Kabocha
....Eventually she'll be okay.
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
I really like Lushaka and how we're not sure about his motives. Probably just want to get his legs healed(edited)
Tenor | Shinavar
4> I think the song Danbi heard is the plants' natural song around a mature of their species. I hope Adela + Luk both don't get fixed so they can fuck with each other like old war vets for that stint lmao.
Long old!married couple levels of bickering
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
I'm not always good at thinking up head canons(edited)
Superjustinbros
Me neither, tbh
mathtans
There's a lot that happens after part 10. ^.^;;
Kabocha
@Joichi [Lavender Tea] the secret to head canons is to extrapolate to the most logical but bizarre outcome
eg: The Queen is a Dokkabi. Maybe.
Superjustinbros
Thanks for the strategy @Kabocha
Kabocha
The trick is it needs to be somewhat plausible.
Respheal
But that's completely plausible
mathtans
Maybe the plants are just talking at a different pitch around Adela. Doesn't hear certain frequencies. Could hear... dandelions? (They're significant and all...)
Tenor | Shinavar
On the people of Xi: Sounds like some seriously oppressed shit - like, for comparison, the levels of xenophobic hatred similar to America and Muslims right now.
(Just with more severe repercussions)
(Or actions, anyway, considering the deahs mentioned)
keii4ii
Yeah, it's really bad to say the least
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
thank you Kabo and Keii!
SevereWxEddie
I wonder about the connection to Earth! Especially the existence of the railroad. It seems like technology levels vary wildly across Keol: where Ethan landed, there were simple farms all around, and he and the party boarded a sailing boat. Now their destination has a railroad (with what looks like a diesel locomotive) and all of the tech that requires. I wonder if the railroad is around because of its proximity to the city with all the Red Gaters? Those who come through the Gate bringing their knowledge with them?
Superjustinbros
oooooh
RebelVampire
adela and danbi's mom are sisters
Tenor | Shinavar
Oh god
RebelVampire
my plausible but crazy theory
Respheal
So the gates do space AND time shenanigans? Are the time flows of Earth and Keol linked?
keii4ii
The tech disparity was largely inspired by the situation in Korea in recent history! Countryside vs cities had huuuuge differences, like different worlds
Respheal
Or will the gate sometimes grab a person from like....the distant past or future
mathtans
Oh, I like when the real world is mirrored in ways one doesn't necessarily realize.
RebelVampire
that is a good question res
SevereWxEddie
@keii4ii ahhhhhhhhhhh
mathtans
Res: Maybe Ethan returns only to become his own dad?
Superjustinbros
Now I want to see that happen
Oh snap
Tenor | Shinavar
Math: GGGGGGGGG
I debaed that once but I couldn't work it out
Superjustinbros
Paradox, much?
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
@Respheal that is a good question, makes me think about portal travelling in a new way
keii4ii
That actually has huge implications with THIS story
Not canon but if it were
Ethan being his own dad, I mean
Draco Plato
that'd be awesome
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
LOL why does it reminds me of.. a film somewhere. can't remember it. Maybe I'm thinking of Back to the Future
Superjustinbros
"My future self is my daddy"
keii4ii
"When I grow up, I wanna be just like my daddy!"
Superjustinbros
XD
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
then oh shit... wished too hard
Superjustinbros
Pretty mcuh that
Draco Plato
you are your daddy
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
NOOOO *epic screams
Draco Plato
then you're like damn i sucked as my own dad
and now i have nobody to blame but myself
Superjustinbros
This talk
Draco Plato
that sounds like something i'd write, lol
Superjustinbros
@mathtans you are so good at this
RebelVampire
haha im gonna be honest, i entertained the idea of ethan being his own grandfather for a bit
as a theory
Draco Plato
i did too for a moment in the beginning, lol
Tenor | Shinavar
Futurama proved it can be set up ?shot
RebelVampire
but i was like "no no its probalby just ptsd. probably"
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
omg.. I love how this convo became a paradox XD
Draco Plato
and then i thought naaaaaaah they won't go there
Respheal
the cats in the cradle with the silver spoon, l-little boy blue...and the--the--
Kabocha
Ethan's real name is Fry.
Superjustinbros
inb4 let's paradox this world even further
SevereWxEddie
YAAAAAASSSSS
keii4ii
My brain is exploding
Superjustinbros
Boil, Grill, or fry?
RebelVampire
i did wonder if keol was just korea of the long forgotten past though. as a theory to explain the connection
Draco Plato
ah that could be
Superjustinbros
Maybe, i'd believe it if that was the case
SevereWxEddie
Wibbly wobbly timey wimey shenanigans ensued? I thought that at first too.
keii4ii
I haven't shown the map yet, but the geography is very different
Superjustinbros
oooh!?
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
Hmm that is plausible, if Keol is an ancient Korea.. although I have to look it up
mathtans
Originally as I started reading I did wonder if it was still like Earth. But enough stuff happened pretty soon to dispell that notion.
Superjustinbros
I googled Keol and I jsut got things related to music
keii4ii
Keol is way bigger than Korea ever was, for one thing
mathtans
That language connection thing is really interesting though. I wonder if humans get sucked in who don't speak Korean and are kind of screwed.
keii4ii
Yeah, Ethan would've had an even harder time if he didn't speak any Korean
Megaparsec
I suspect most of the people here did cross over from Earth at one point, because of the language and physical similarity. Possibly some kind of super-Gate pulling in a whole group of people?
Joichi [Lavender Tea]
YESS, i thought about that too, going; dang I envy you Ethan. I wouldn't be able to speak to ANYONE at all if I were in Keol
Megaparsec
In the far past of both worlds
Kabocha
Did the Rencho also speak Korean?
SevereWxEddie
@mathtans yes, didn't the lady with the M&Ms say she had that problem? (Her actual name escapes me)
keii4ii
Renchos speak their own languages in their home world, and have to pick up Korean when they come to Keol
Superjustinbros
lol
keii4ii
Same with Elyeos
Though Inductors are required to learn at least some basic phrases in the most common Elyeo language
Tenor | Shinavar
Yeah like 'You're under arrest' /shot
Superjustinbros
Do there exist translators in Keol?
RebelVampire
darn you geography. maybe keol is another dimension of earth where history took a different course entirely
keii4ii
I'm sure there are some?
mathtans
SevereW: I think that's later than I got to. ^_^;
keii4ii
like Lushaka still speaks the Rencho home world tongue, and could interpret if needed
SevereWxEddie
Ah, that'd do it.
keii4ii
The blue speech balloons were the Rencho language
when he was talking to Mr. Jaguar
Superjustinbros
oooh~
do I hear exparimenting with speech ballons with different visuals?
RebelVampire
on a side note i was sad for ethan that he found a fellow earthling...only they didnt really speak english
Superjustinbros
I always like when comics do that.
RebelVampire
that would be such a huge letdown for anyone(edited)
keii4ii
Note he had to switch to Korean for "arrows" and "archers" because Renchos don't have those words in their native languages
Darkhalo4321
ooooo
Kabocha
Yeah, I notice Ethan's text color changes if he needs to use an English word too
SevereWxEddie
That's a really neat method, by the way
Kabocha
and then Danbi's got a wispier textbubble to indicate his voice being very.... I dunno, soft? Scratchy? In my head it sounds somewhat raspy.
SevereWxEddie
Of telling readers what language is being used
Draco Plato
danbi's smoker voice XD
Superjustinbros
lol
keii4ii
Danbi is special
mathtans
Agreed. In the Korean version, is just the English words used, I wonder?
Superjustinbros
What would a speech bubble of someone sleepy look like(edited)
keii4ii
@SevereWxEddie Thanks! It's not a perfect solution but it works, and I'm happy enough with that
SevereWxEddie
You're welcome!
keii4ii
@mathtans I used a different font for English words in the Korean version. Wasn't doing the color thing at that time
Superjustinbros
oooh
mathtans
Before we close, I just want to say the colouring and shading and stuff is freaking amazing. High frequency of posts but also such quality.
Superjustinbros
Seconding this.
SevereWxEddie
Thirding
keii4ii
Thank you!
SevereWxEddie
The art is freaking gorgeous!
Superjustinbros
I'd like to say in personal thoughts- good luck with the story, @keii4ii. You got some really awesome plotlines and setpieces backed up with some great characterization and character designs and I hope it only gets bigger form there.
keii4ii
wait
Are CTPs allowed to end without a ship discussion
Superjustinbros
Especially something with lots of themes based on Korea.
Kabocha
OMG!
Darkhalo4321
I HAVE A SHIP
Kabocha
Lu/Ethan
Superjustinbros
I HEAR DSHIPS
Darkhalo4321
YES
Superjustinbros
FOUR MINUTE SHIP DISCUSSION
Tenor | Shinavar
I can't ship Ethan
keii4ii
The naval forces have been summoned
Tenor | Shinavar
It hurts too much
Darkhalo4321
Yeah, Ethan is a bit.... Not shippable RIGHT YET
Kabocha
Well, the naval was what he was focusing on
:'3
Darkhalo4321
But he's growing and I'm excited for the man he'll be later on!
Tenor | Shinavar
EXACTLY
HE'S TOO INNOCENT
SevereWxEddie
Well, the lack of navel forces was apparent in that one comic
Darkhalo4321
for now
keii4ii
Ethan's not quite emotionally ready for a long term, committed relationship yet
Kabocha
ANYWAY, ETHAN/LU IS THE SHIP I AM ON BOARD WITH
yet
Darkhalo4321
yet
Tenor | Shinavar
TBH I enjoy the idea of Danbi/Lu
Respheal
yet
Tenor | Shinavar
Super passive with a fucking troll
Superjustinbros
Shall we set sail? ;3c
Kabocha
Rebel it is super important that you italicise those yets
Tenor | Shinavar
+ Lu would protect Danbi who may be doomed to a life in prison
Tenor | Shinavar
he's already a dick who doesn't listen to orders
mathtans
I wondered if Ethan and Danbi would go somewhere. Maybe ship Ethan and the Queen? Calling it now.
Tenor | Shinavar
Just pocket the boy and go bouncing speedily away once healed /shot
RebelVampire
i sit on the Lu/Ethan ship myself. dont care about ethan's innocence the googly eyes are there
Kabocha
Math, you missed the Ethan is the Queen theory
Respheal
The "Ethan no" moments
Kabocha
or will be the Queen
Tenor | Shinavar
...Lu leaning on Danbi with this knowing ass smile at Ad, too like "Yeah. I know what he is. Does it bother you we're dating?"
Draco Plato
i was more for danbi/ethan but super don't think that's going to happen now XD
Respheal
But also catching Ethan when he was passing out after accidentally dokkabi'ing himself?
mathtans
Kabocha: Oops. Ethan shipped with himself then.
Tenor | Shinavar
-Talking myself more into this ship, fuck-
Darkhalo4321
YES ( to res's comment)(edited)
Tenor | Shinavar
-I can't draw this, the pain is real-
Kabocha
lmao
Superjustinbros
Heehee~

- thursday november 16, 2017 -
so last time i checked in gaelen and ellen were on their way to cuse. heres a lil recap:
friday nov 10th:
they arrived kinda late around 5 or 6 pm. We hung around for a little, chatting and stuff and decided it was a good idea to go to the liquor store. ellen drove us to the liquor store and we entered the store and were offered a free shot of tequila. We bought that tequila they gave us a shot of even though it was ASS and headed back towards my dorm room. we out music on a began getting for the night. the plan was bar, then afters at some frat party. We realized gaelen didn't have a second form of ID to get into the bar we thought the best thing to forge would be a social security card, lol. spent sometime photoshopping that and then headed to sami’s to pre game. while at sami’s max snapchatted me, saying his frat was open and lit. we decided to head there ASAP and would not need the ID’s or the social security card lol. headed to the party and danced for about 40 minutes until they shut it down. claimed they had been partying for like 5 hours... sad i didn't get the invite earlier lol. so we headed to where Mia and Violet were. when we got there i slipped on black ice but got right back up and paid five dollars to get into this average ass party. while in there we found violet and mia we all danced and were hunted by boys. sami ellen and i gave this guy these huge ass hickies on his neck, and i peed in the attic twice. i found ellen and sami outside and they were giggling life away and it was v cute. we decided to peace and head to my dorm. we all got into our PJ’s. Ellen had weed so she suggested we smoke. we didn't have anything but a one hitter to some but somehow in under a minute ellen found a toilet paper holder to smoke out of.. lol typical. So were smoking and stuff and we get a knock on the door. its DPS and my RA. in the 30 seconds it took me to open the door the girls had all scattered all to different beds. Josh said he smelled marijuana coming from this room. i said it wasn't us and he asked why the window was open. i said it was because of all the girls in there it got hot. he said he was sorry to bother and left. we all sat there shocked we just got away with that. 
sat nov 11th:
this was a day FULL of shit shows. lynzzee came in in the morning and saw gaelen using her blanket and also smelled the room. we all pretended to be asleep. we got ready for tailgate and hit up the liquor store. then went and had breakfast up on the mount and headed to semi’s to start pregaming for game day. we pre-gammed a long long time and headed to ZBT when we got there it didn't last longer than 30 minutes and we go kicked out bc it was over. so we headed to sig chi. heart eyes. it was my first time there but it was worth the wait. the guys are sexy and the layout of the house is wonderful. feels very movie like. nick o’conner and i ran into one another and talked it up for such a long time. party began to whine down and sami and ellen had found boys. so gaelen convinced me to leave with her and marty’s friends... lame idea they weren't fun. one girl talked about wanting to get her nose pierced the whole time and didn't end up doing it bc she lame af. so finally my drunk jealous self met up with sami and ellen and their boys.. i was all pissy bc they had boys and i had to hang out with marty and gaelen and no boy. so when we met up at ernie davis i rannn in. sami have to guest swipe me in. ellen walked in and we got in a 3 second fight and got over it. it probably helped that i ate tbh. so we took an uber with these boys to their hotel room. when we got there all was fun and games until gaelen started hooking up with ellens boy in front of all of us. this kid had acid so they cut us up small little pieces and we all took it. besides gaelen and the boy she was with. who btw had an eyebrow piercing. we took the acid chilled outside for awhile and decided we need weed. so we all get in this taxi headed to another hotel and gaelen and eyebrow guy join us and ellen starts running away and making this big ass deal. we finally all got into the car and galen was so drunk and had 0 common sense and ellen kept chirping. we finally got to the hotel and shit started to go down. when the guy ellen was suppose to be with asked for his jacket back she threw it on the floor in the opposite way he was standing and stormed off. ellen and talent started fighting and gaelen is bawlin gg her eyes out telling ellen she had no idea and that she doesnt know what she did wrong. we get our attention called by the hotel staff to keep it down and i decide we need to leave. bc we had been in that hotel for about an hour and no way those guys were still looking for weed they high key ditched us. we get to the mount and my acid starts to kick in. it makes me get hella laughing gas, and gaelen won't stop crying. we get up to sami’s room and the shit won't stop. ellen is being insane and won't just swollow her pride and gaelen  wont stop crying and calling people to tell them.this goes on for 3 hours i finally tell ellen she's acting like carly and it triggers her. she runs away and goes missing for ten minutes finally and calls me bawling. when i meet her outside she gets very dark. says she really thinks carly fucked her up, says she never wants to talk about parental issue, how shes scared for me bc of carly, how she read a journal entry about how carly is in love with christian. poor sami was in the car with drunk ass gaelen who kept calling her ellen. so i had to end ellens episode and go to the car. so i drove us back to my dorm after a good 4 hours of fighting. we got into my room and ellen and gaelen kept fighting and nikki came in and asked us to please keep it down. so i told ellen we were going into the car to smoke and gaelen would end up falling asleep. smoked in ellens car and got deep again. i apologized to even about interupting and she told me i didnt need to apologize for doing that bc thats something carly gets mad at it made me cry. because she's so right. the only reason i ever interupt is because i am so engaged in convo i get excited and think of something i need to tell also. we went to bed and that was the end of that insane day. 
sunday nov 12th:
so ellen and gaelen left and i went back to my room, cleaned the monstrosity up and laid down to take a nap. i was woken up by lynzzee coming into the room and slamming things open and close and organizing things. after about 20 minutes she had not closed the door so i asked her if she could close the door. she proceeded to say, “no. i need to air out the disgusting smell you left in here” in the bitchest tone ever. so i just turned around. another 20 minutes go by and she starts playing her tv show out loud. which she stated was against the rules. so i stood up and decided i would make peace. so i took 1.50 in quarters and handed it to her and apologized for dumbass problematic gaelen using her blanket. she gave me the quarters back and told me to keep them because i was moving out anyways. so i told her she needed to put headphones in because that was one of the “rules” she implemented. she told me she wouldn't and that i needed to shower. she started to get SO hostile and i told her i was closing the door. and she kept opening it. she began calling me a slut and trans and told me i needed to shower and that the room smelt disgusting and that smell and that i am insane. she just kept repeating this. so i told her i was gonna go get our RA. i knocked on his door but he wasn't there. so i came back in and told her when he returned he would quickly come into her. she goes yeah let him come in here and small the marijuana cocian room of a mess you left. i just laughed at her. so i wanted to get under her skin and break one of the rules too. so i started face timing ellen. and i turned the camera to face her and told ellen to listen to how crazy she is. she proceeded to call me a slut and trashy bitch before leaving the room and not to return for 5 nights. she emailed our RA saying i was sarcastically talking about her over ft which is not true. i was just saying exactly what she had done and i was laughing about it because she is crazy lol. it was all hysterical i did not break once. she told me i was moving out and i was like, you can't kick me out. this is my room also if you don't want me in here you'll have to leave because i am staying. and she did :P haven't seen her in 5 days and now I'm on the way HOME!!!!!! 10 days home <3 and I'm sure some shits gonna go down so ill be back here to chat.

time for MORE ZELDABLOGGING hell yeah today’s stream of consciousness:
i’ve decided that i wanna go south bc like im never gonna catch up with my brother and im Not in the mood to do heat-resistence stuff so i might as well see a thing he hasn’t, right?!
if i get too bored i can always turn around and go north!!
furthermore he’s getting closer to hyrule castle and i dont wanna lol
fast traveled to the dueling peaks and found the tower already
ooh and lake hylia is south as well! tho ofc im doing the southeast one first
and i’ll probably get tired of storyless exploring before i get out that far hahaha
wow the tower is close to the border, i can see the lake hylia province from here
there’s an Immense palm tree lookin jungle and i think i see a giant armos?
but the mountains divide it pretty neatly so it looks to be an easy walk assuming those guardian statues don’t move
ah. of course they move.
at least they can’t get up and walk around :|
too bad you can’t play around in the menu while you wait out rain. i’d rewatch m memories and shit
i climbed this one red looking cliff and the sky went green and the weather changed to all cloudy forever so im probably about to die
and just like that, glided to the tower. easy peasy
ah, the faron province!! cooool
ah wow!! it’s bigger than i realized *w*
watching a lightning storm from one of these towers is fucking terrifying
that lightning does Not fuck around
the maddening thing about this game is seeing so much cool shit in the distance and you can’t check it out yet, or it would be such hard work
i see some glowy shit and a giant pink tree and i wanna explore everything but also it’s so Much
it’s kind of creepy out here :/ maybe i want to go do story after all lol
im ging back to the shrine you hang glide off of so i can start from  somewhere familiar >_>
idk why im so cautious playing this game. like. its a game. its not like it can hurt me
im having trauma flashbacks looking at eventide island
wait is this a
i hear town music!!! omg omg

ohhhh my gosh what a beautiful peaceful beachside town
reminds me of bodhum/new bodhum and bits and piece of ff11, which i say with the greatest reluctance

i wish this village was bigger i could have happily stayed here for hours
omg
someone a long time ago was standing on a mountain that looked like a broken heart and was like, is this not the place to find your soulmate…? but i haven’t found mine yet
someone mentioned a similar legend here and on the map i see a mountain with a whole heart on it pfffft
im so sick of seeing these stone cirlces everywhere…i can’t blow them up..what do you DO with them? complete the pattern maybe??
oh my god it worked
i’ve passed by so many…how will i ever get all these seeds……..
i know the game wants me to sail here but i hate sailing, it’s tedious, i want to control my boat with the fucking control stick
holy fuck dude the sword im using is so strong?? it cut down a palm in a single swipe!!
the longer i play the more i hate the blood moon
oh no i found a hinox
i was going to avoid him but he has an orb….
idk where it goes tho so there’s no point there’s no point the blood moon will bring him back okay Okay
hes a red one anyway so no big, when the time comes
oh my god ANOTHER hinox with an orb
i bet they go to the twin shrines near the village
but i’m supposed to find a tablet before i do that…….i don’t wanna skip another quest like the zora helm also thats a Long walk jesus christ
NNNONONONO GOD
GUARDIAN THAT CAN WALK OVER THERE NO FUCKING THANKS SO GLAD IT DIDN’T SEE ME

i love seeing farosh flying around here but i can NEVER CATCH HIM
i was just a few minutes too late to getting him at a really good spot
but the dragons seem to take the same route over 24h, so there’s that
oh hey im back at green cloud plateau

oh god i see a question mark from here something already knows im close
oh ogd oh god why i bet it’s big and awful

in the shrine we go holy shit
may the weather be better when i get out
damn i keep finding ore today… #blessed
I SAW FAROSH AGAIN HE WAS SO CLOSE BUT I WAS STILL TOO SLOW…okay they DEFINITELY take the same route everyday i think

ugh i went over to this one place and the weather turned to all lightning forever
KASS? HOLY SHIT DUDE YOU’RE GONNA GET FRIED
im so glad to see him ;_; it’s creepy out here

aw i met and saved a traveling couple, i’ve saved them before
oh my gosh a STABLE!! all the way out here!!!!
THERE ARE PEOPLE
man i wondered what that couple was doing out in such a remote place
oh wow beedle gave me a single ancient arrow…apparently it deals huge damage even to guardians
maybe this is what the start screen meant by the right tools!!!!
but there’s only one…
robbie from akkala gave it to him…NICE i’ll remember
ah some guy here said there was something glowing at the top of floria waterfall…i gotta check that out
ooh a shrine back here too…nice
god there’s a chest in here that’s REALLY hard to get bc camera angles but it has an ancient core (looked it up) and i need one to upgrade my runes………smh
man…nah. im out. there will be other cores & this is crazy ridiculous
its just the stasis rune anyway and i use that one the least
five big hearty radishes means TWENTY FIVE EXTRA HEARTS
but you can only have a max of 30 lol so
AAAH HERE COMES FAROSH AND IM FINALLY AHEAD OF WHERE HE’LL BE OH MY GOD
I HIT HIM I HIT HIM
I FINALLY GOT A SCALE
almost died for it but. i got it. he throws electricity involuntarily and it’s major stuff i shoulda worn my rubber gear
i kinda wanna wait and see if i can get another……..but i have shit to do
holy shit farosh came back around & i got another scale…wish i could hit his horn
AAAH NO A GIANT STONE THING IS HERE….i have no idea how to fight them im leaving
well idk if the stone thing or the dragon or the shrine was what was supposed to be glowing up here but i don’t see anything new
im almost done exploring this province, actually
gotta walk along one beach and climb the heart mountain and that’s it!
a little tempted to grab my horse since it’s such an easy direct road, but i’d be getting on and off all the time ):
fml there’s a guardian on this beach…pls dont move pls dont pls dont
oh thank god its stuck in the sand
omg there was a chest in the sand but it WASNT A CHEST it was one of those yellow octoroks!!!! but!! i shot it! and got money!!!!!!!! #nice
NOOOO another stone thing!!
but you know the last one took a lot of damage from one accidental bomb so maybe
how do you fight it?? i can’t damage it???
OH OMG THE ORE THING!!! OKAY LET’S DO THIS SHIT let’s go i cooked up so much good food
oh my god i took him down in just a handful of bomb arrows…THATS what ive been running from?
not nearly as scarly as lynel tbh
and i’ve been marking the minibosses on my map so now i can look for jewels there if i ever need to
i found a fuckton in this region but lol i sold them all
i know one great fairy needs 10k rupees and like…..Yikes
im getting pretty good with my bow, i can hit far off targets bc i know how high to aim and shit
i’ve kind of been wondering what happens if you get to the edge of the map
but the wind gets so strong on the beaches i bet you just either run out of stamina if swimming or can’t make the boat get past it if sailing
but what happens if you get to a land edge though…?
i actually dislike getting to edges of maps haha it creeps me out. that disreality unrealization shit. no thanks
in la noire the edges of the map have u-turn streets and you realize the cars are all just on one endless track and no one is in them and no one ever goes home and you start to wonder if this actual universe is a simulation and it freaks you out
anyway.
omfg someone from the yiga clan selling bananas like i actually could have bought some if i wanted LMAO
he actually had me fooled for a moment even though i know what npcs named “traveler” mean
why do they all give me bananas when they die anyway………whats going on with this.
oh my god this dude at the heart shaped pond is in love with this gerudo lady here. and like. same oh my god she’s so Big
but lol you can choose to say “yeah talk to her” or “nope, rival time!”
me: aggressively wants to flirt with the gerudo lady but not in a straight way
pls this cutscene was so cute
but she deserves better than a weirdo like this guy
he like, gave me a twenty, and she fussed at him for being stingy, so then he have me a hundred, and THEN
HE ASKED FOR HIS MONEY BACK LMFAO no way fucknuts
wow and with that im All Done with this province O:
i mean yeah i got quests and shrines to come back and do, but i’ve SEEN everything, yk
maybe now i’ll go up to death mountain haha i feel so slow ): i hope what i saw and did made up for my slow story progress
whoa this weapons guy said he’d remake mipha’s trident if i ever broke it!! what a relief
ah i finally figured out the shrine puzzle by zora’s domain…gotta give that thing a dragon scale. but i like my dragon scales too much so i won’t. maybe later
oh hey the death mountain region tower! that was easy
uhhh what…is that
oh my god a FLYING GUARDIAN are you KIDDING me??? why???????
and they’re everywhere! fantastic!!! my ass is DEAD
oh okay this region is called akkala
at least i get guardian arrows here eventually :|
oh my god ONE SAW ME FUCK
oh my god
I RAN UP TO THE TOWER AND IT’S COVERED IN THE BLIGHT
what is that thing crawling all over death mountain?!
what is happening OH my god!!! so much!! everything!!! all at once!!!!!!!!
wait
that’s the divine beast
oh my god
oh my god.
oh my god it’s so big but even still it looks tiny in comparison to the mountain, oh my god
omg it gets cold up here only at night?? omg
NO there’s a still guardian up here too ;_;
i’m gonna try to kill it!!! good first try it can’t move and there’s cover RIGHT here
second try really but im stronger now
now, i have bomb arrows and lightning rods
ok lightning rod does nothing, bomb arrows dont work in the rain, but i killed it with shock arrows!!
and it wasnt v hard bc i was behind cover the whole time lol
but like, with those arrows - i used maybe 9 or 10? and that was all i used, i threw a couple of bombs at it too i guess
now to figure out how i even get IN here w/ all this gunk…..
fuck a bokoblin near a cooking pot saw me and accidentally set itself on fire lmao
ok i can’t climb past the blight, i tried, but how the fuck do i get rid of it i dont see any eyeballs )))):
……………………….w ait
this bokoblin has a shield with the hylian crest on it. the HYLIAN crest
these ruins have the red carpet with the double line of gold on the side
i’m crying this was someplace special
i don’t know what it was bc it can’t be the temple of time or hyrule castle but it was someplace real i recognize the style of it so faintly and it’s COVERED IN BLIGHT
oh my god………..this is so Much
ah ok a beam fell when i shot the first eyeball and i was like why arent there anymore?? but apparently i can magnesis it
oh wow i found a piece of a room…….totally trashed, jesus christ
must’ve been a lab or library
omg its thundering outside…..that has nothing to do with zelda but it makes this creepier
THERE’S A GUARDIAN AT THE TOP SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME
its not alive tho thank christ
jesus fuck the divine beast is SO BIG and the mountain is still SO MUCH BIGGER i feel so tiny every time i look
anyway it’s 5am and there’s lightning so i gotta unplug for many reasons, this is a fine stopping place, can’t wait to get my ass kicked by that thing and rescue a goron, holy fuck
