[where-are-the-spooky-gays-2]

Which do y’all like more, pre-aa Virgil or post-aa Virgil

Personally I love pre-aa, i miss my bitchy, overly snarky, lil shit head 😔

- Vee 💜

Controversial take that will probably have pitchforks sent my way due to literally everyone in the fandom preferring Pre!AA Vee more /light hearted But I genuinely do not have a preference between the two because I love Vee as a character as a whole and just find his "growth" interesting as well as the changes over the years

You know, I feel like in an alternative timeline I would have shipped with Arthas instead of Neltharion.

I made some collage outfits

[xxstarl1ghtxx]

im way too invested in the husband polls (in a good fun way)

anyway i do not think id care about beachcomber this much without the perfect storm of watching the golden lagoon just before seeing his round 2 matchup but now im obsessed with this man. seeing the round 3 matchups on the google sheet doesnt bode well for his survival but ive got art at the ready for my boy anyways

Honestly, I think Katara having her scars (let's say for arguments sake that she can't heal them either with normal waterbending or with the spirit water. I personally don't subscribe to the idea that the spirit water would have worked on Zuko's scar but anyway) would have enhanced the parallels and connection between her and Zuko. Besides, I don't think she would have bothered to use the spirit water on her own hands. She wouldn't have thought it important enough imo.

It's pretty obvious that she and Zuko, as Aang's main teachers of those respective elements, are meant to compliment and parallel one another. Both were learners themselves when they started teaching Aang (Zuko had to relearn firebending from a different source. After that he was virtually a master). Aang's proxy teacher (Pakku) for water came after Katara started teaching him waterbending. Aang's proxy teacher (Jeong Jeong) started teaching Aang firebending before Zuko started teaching him.

Zuko being burned and thus scarred by the Avatar's main adversary, while Katara would have been burned and thus scarred by the Avatar. Heck, even the incidents themselves parallel one another in ways. Ozai purposefully burned his son's face and had no feelings of love or affection for him at all. Aang burned Katara on accident and definitely cared for Katara deeply.

In truth I don't think that her having scars would change the dynamics between her and either Zuko or Aang. She would do her best not to acknowledge them around Aang (coddling him as she always does) while with Zuko she could probably get him to open up about how he got his. Seriously is anyone else mad that Team Avatar never learns about how Zuko got his scar? I doubt he mentioned it to Katara or anyone else. :/

Katara's own marred hands being the first to touch Zuko's scar? Poetry (shipping aside).

Anyway, I just think it's a neat concept narratively. -insert Marge Simpson meme here-

rating thawne's deaths on a 10 point scale

snapped neck: 6/10. ok. not good, not bad, well-deserved, timeless, impactful. i love the way thawne is still complaining about that one though.

flashpoint: 9/10. imagine becoming a living paradox and proceeding to rant about how your speedster nemesis cant hurt you now (very normal way to put it btw.) only to be pierced by a fucking sword. dumb and classic, all good here.

the button: 100/10 THE DUMBEST DEATH OF THEM ALL AND MY ALL TIME FAVORITE. also a classic, imagine being told multiple times that youre going to die and fucking carry on like youre the Smartest here and nothing could ever happen to you and actually ima adopt you barry. thawne's character at its finest.

running scared: 8/10. not bad. ironic last words and 'on my life i swear' about the promise he intended to break all along. once again, dead because he couldnt shut the fuck up and look around him. iris, my beautiful tired of thawne's shit queen, I STAN.

the flash cw season 1: 5/10. dont remember it much asides from being totally pointless as it has 0 effect on thawne's existence further and our beloved Genius of Time Travel, who can Calculate Every Single Timeline Consequence To His Actions revealing his fucking name to his ancestor and bullying him into murder by suicide.

legends of tomorrow season 2: 10/10. love this one. top 10 reverse-flash moments. my dude got together like 15 other versions of himself for each to do practically fucking nothing other than to group pose and die. an honorable mention: poor black flash who got called a monster just for trying to do his timeline protection job and who endured all of thawne's shit only for it to turn out completely pointless as well. then again if you think about it, everything that happens in cw is pointless.

the flash cw season 6: 2/10. does that even count as a death. makes zero fucking sense. 2 points only for thawne being a total loser and resembling negaduck's 'crisis on infinite darkwings' death.

suicude squad: hell to pay: 10/10. i gave this 10 points already just for his last words 'fuck my life'. again, DOESNT KNOW HOW TO SHUT THE FUCK UP WHICH GETS HIM KILLED. thawne believing in the afterlife in the first place feels out of character to me though.

finish line: 0/10. it was very hard to waste a character like that without even realizing it AFTER WRITING HIM WITH SUCH A DEEP UNDERSTANDING BEFORE but you've done it, williamson ⭐

legends of tomorrow season 7: 7/10. very balanced death, little bit of thawne having zero fucking braincells, little bit of meaning. not even complaining about the concept, silly little domesticated rat doing his silly little job of preserving the timeline. i approve.

jurassic league: 10/10. first i suggest we just stop and think for a moment about the fact that we got a DINOSAUR THAWNE in a list of deaths. second THIS PREHISTORIC DUMPLING GOT FUCKING EATEN. third insert an extinction pun. perfect understanding of thawne being a fucking joke of a character and meme potential.

flashpoint beyond: 12/10. did NOTHING in the plot. meant NOTHING for the plot. just spawned as a corpse and looked pretty in the morgue (10 points already purely for The Page) and i respect that. 1 more point for the button encore and another to martha wayne. thank you for your service queen, we'll never forget your impact on this one.

knight terrors: the flash: 8/10. this mf lasted exactly 3 pages. neat but a bit sad if you think about it. not only got killed unprovokedly but his precious museum he just tried to protect got damaged as well. didnt even get to finish neither the tour or his point about barry not being able to wake up (again, only tried to help in a way by that?). also i like the way he's once again a creation of barry's subconsciousness acting suspiciously fruity.

Yup, finally time to talk about Trazyn...

I put it off because hey, everyone else deserves some love and attention...but Trazyn deserves more, sorry he is just built different.

It will probably shock no one that Trazyn is my favorite 40k character. He's what got me into Warhammer in the first place. I imagine I'm not the only one who went through the "oh, funny meme steal guy lol" to "guess I'll read Infinite and the Divine" to "can't be invited to parties because I refuse to think about anything that's not Necrons or my new plastic crack addiction" pipeline.

But why is this weird sexy space kleptomaniac so compelling? The answer might surprise you!

(it won't for a while but bear with me there's a twist coming)

Why do we all like Trazyn? First of all, he's easy to grasp. Indiana Jones meets the Collector in 40k. One sentence and you know what he's about. That's invaluable for pitching a character. And then you watch him and he's clever, he's hyper-competent, he's funny. In the grimdark future, this guy makes you laugh! He screws with everyone. And yeah, he's easy to meme, but that's just part of his charm.

He fits into nearly any 40k story too. Space Marines? Aeldar? Chaos? Tau? Trazyn wants an artifact and he's messing with *insert main characters here* to get it. Or maybe *insert main characters here* need something and he's the only one who has it. Doesn't really matter what or why, the second Trazyn shows up he can play off anyone. As an uneasy ally, an opponent in a negotiation, or in a fight. He has an incredible dry wit that makes him super entertaining (especially in a setting where characters can be a bit...serious).

And Trazyn ultimately has pretty sympathetic motives. He wants to preserve, to collect, and tell stories through his museum. Museums are cool! Culture is neat! Sure he's a bit...unethical, but he's far from the worst dude in 40k so he's very easy to root for, even if he's a side character or antagonist.

So yeah, witty, devious, immortal museum curator. Perfect character, right?

Well...here's that twist.

Trazyn is actually (in my opinion) really, really hard to write for as a protagonist of his own story.

See most commercial fiction is structured around a character who wants something, but something else gets in their way. Frodo wants to take the ring to Mordor but all of middle earth plus some evil wizards, orcs, giant spiders, etc. are in the way. The issue with Trazyn (on paper) is that he doesn't truly want anything. Sure there are specific artifacts and people he wants for his collection, but that's surface level. Hunting down random cool space stuff is not a change from his day to day, so focusing a whole story around that might be fun for a while, but it wouldn't stick with you. Because any deep, emotional desires he has are fulfilled. He has power, he has purpose, he has his own planet that shapes itself to his will.

Trazyn is used to being in control. Of Solemnace, of his expeditions, of his negotiations. If plan A goes south he has twelve other options, and a few back up plans, and probably an ork warband attached to his belt if he needs it. Oh, and he's immortal. And can't be hurt. Which again, is hella fun, but how do you have suspense or stakes with all of that? How do you write an interesting story for the guy that has everything?

Enter Orikan.

Orikan is one of the only things that introduces chaos into Trazyn's existence. Orikan can break into Trazyn's house, break his stuff, and get away with it. When Orikan is around, the things Trazyn loves are in danger. Orikan shattered relics from their people's history and Trazyn failed to save them. He tried to catch one piece and it shattered because his hand was metal. The thing that usually makes him untouchable contributed to his loss. That is heartbreaking to read. Sure he can fight elves and dinosaurs and steal the most incredible things, but Trazyn can be made vulnerable in the right circumstances.

The thing he wants throughout Infinite and the Divine is not the McGuffin Mysterios. It's revenge. But because Orikan is his equal and opposite, he can't get it easily. There's an obstacle. Which means we have a story on our hands.

There's another scene that I find really striking from that book: Trazyn and his human assistant on Serenade. This old man who Trazyn kinda...mind controlled into service, but also provided him and his family with the best education, medical care, career opportunities etc. Trazyn didn't have to do that, but he is the type of greedy where if something is "his" he takes care of it. That includes (for better or worse) that human man and his family. Blips on the radar to an immortal being, but those are Trazyn's blips so they get the best a blip can ask for (aside from free will but shhhhhh.)

But that doesn't mean Trazyn can prevent the inevitable. His assistant gets old without him even noticing. The man has reached the end of his life, and that is something Trazyn can't control. And he's emotional about it. Not like devastated (it's just a human after all, basically his hamster just died) but it throws him for a loop.

Oh hey, speaking of how Trazyn takes care of things that he considers his...

Trazyn never really gets close to killing Orikan. He says he wants to. He acts like it. That's the story we set up. Trazyn shoots him in the face. But does he try to permanently kill Orikan? Does he ever act with any true cruelty?

He does once. When Orikan was weak and vulnerable, Trazyn crushed Orikan's skull with his foot, and that's so out of character it's our clearest indication as a reader that something is wrong. That's when we realize the song has Trazyn ensnared because normally he would not do that. He wouldn't treat his greatest enemy and rival that way which is... certainly interesting.

And then of course there's that scene at the end. When Orikan is burned and afraid and unable to defend himself, Trazyn doesn't even try to hurt him. He is gentle, careful, he makes sure Orikan isn't permanently damaged. After everything they've done to each other over 10,000 years (and that's just the events of the book, their rivalry is older), it doesn't even occur to Trazyn to harm Orikan in that moment.

That to me is the real secret that makes Trazyn more than a meme character. That greed that makes him care for things, cultures, places, and people. Those moments where he isn't in control. The combination of the two that means something is at stake. He has a deep love for the universe despite this being such a nihilistic setting. That love drives him to do ridiculous things, but that's the core (I think) of why we love watching him cavort around the galaxy so much.

As promised, a meat recommendation! If you're from Pennsylvania, you already know it, it's scrapple!

Here is the Wikipedia entry for it:

I was introduced to this dish when I was in college! One of my meat science professors was from that state, and he wanted to teach the processed meats class I was in how to make it. It's actually a pretty interesting dish! Leftover pork meat and pork offal are ground up, mixed with spices, buckwheat flour/cornmeal/wheat flour, and water. It's cooked down and put in to loaf pans so you get that loaf shape. It's sold fully cooked, so you could eat it as is when you buy it, but it's traditionally served sliced thin and pan fried on both sides to get that nice crispy crust. I like to eat mine with maple syrup! It's a nice contrast of sweet and savory, I think.

At one of my previous jobs, I worked in a pork packing plant in Pennsylvania, so we made this! It would be served in the cafeteria as one of the breakfast options, and they would DEEP FRY the slices. They were nice and crispy then!

I think what I like so much about this product is the whole thought process that went into making it, so the packer/butcher shop owner could make money from inexpensive parts of the hog. It is literally made of the leftover parts of the hog that no one wants to eat by themselves (hearts, livers, kidneys). Also, the flours and meals added to extend the product tends to be pretty cheap compared to the meat. The water added as well is also pretty inexpensive. It's a way to create value out of parts of the hog that people would normally not eat, while making it tasty (in my opinion) too! It's problem solving at the meat butchery level!

I know some people might read/look at this and think "gross!!", but I just think it's neat (insert Marge Simpson potato meme here). I also have some good memories that I associate with scrapple when I was going to school and when living in Pennsylvania. ALSO, we have this new thing going on at my work where all the food labs get together and discuss what's happening in our labs each month. The R&D director said that he's open to suggestions to showcase interesting food products in our industry at the end of the meeting. I suggested this to my boss and he didn't like it, probably because he thinks it's gross or something. This is my little "fuck you" to him (that he will never see since he is a straight white man who has no idea what Tumblr is).

Happy reading (and eating!)

[maleyanderecafe]

Hi! Do you know any yandere games in which the MC is NOT some featureless person? Like MC actually has an appearance, that's not up to interpretation or grey? I'm tired of these visual novels with invisible MCs 😩 them having a personality would be great too!

Oof man, I understand. I personally prefer it when a character has some sort of design, but I understand why they do it. An invisible MC is easier since it means the artist doesn't have to add another character in CGs and it leaves the player able to self-insert more cleanly. Same with the grey people since it doesn't really define itself as a certain bod type or skin color- but honestly it looks really silly watching a grey blob self in CGs. But yeah, having an actual MC design would be pretty neat to see more- you and Cherry have the same thoughts on this.

That being said, most games that do have a design are either BLs or Otome games and very few are gender neutral with a set design.

Otome Games (With Renamable MCs)

Sweetest Valentine - the MC has a nice character design and a pretty interesting personality depending on which route you go for.

XOXO Blood Droplets - the MC (or JB) is very flirty with all of the guys and very forward. It's put on hiatus for now since GB Patch is working on other games currently.

What's Your Name - actually has three female MCs all with different backstories to compliment each of the love interests, though you only really see their designs at the end of the good routes.

Particles of Reality - the MC (or Monika) has a pretty tragic backstory and runs in with a couple of different yanderes.

Please Don't Hate Christmas - the MC (or Molly) has a fairly cute design, though a lot of her personality is surprised otome character, but with a twist! Future Recommendation

Otome Games (With Defined MCs)

Go Away, Yandere! - for essentially a meme, self insert train of thought game, it's actually pretty well made. Coella is amazingly great as a protagonist since they just run with whatever goes. Future Recommendation.

My Puppy Fiancee/In Search of Haru/Jime Quiet Boyfriend- these are all otome IOS games from SeeC Inc which all have pretty good female protags. Though short, each of them has at least one yandere ending which is enough to put this on this list. You can find most walkthroughs on youtube if you can't play it. Future Recommendation.

Apartment No.9/Solopolism Reigns/Dawn of the Damned- all these games are made by @melancholy-marionette, who has a huge plethera of yandere games. I did a huge summary of Solopolism Reigns here, but the other games also have defined females. Future Recommendation.

ITYH: Horror Otome/Saccharine - Amiralo has pretty good and bittersweet games overall and the female characters are always interesting to say the least.

Parasite in Love -Marlowe is placed in a pretty unfavorable situation, but in the true ending is able to use her wits to get Niall off of her case. Quite literally, in fact.

Colorful Mirai: Spooky Edition - a spin off of their other game, Lauren is pretty fun as a protagonist. None of the yanderes have any lasting impressions or do anything too detrimental to her though.

Most Japanese otomes also tend to have MCs with character designs and I think more recent yandere ones tend to have ones with more character than simply just a blank slate.

BL Games

Most BL games have a predefined character already, so I'm not going to split this into two parts.

House Check - you actually play as the yandere, Arlon, who periodically breaks into his crush Owen's house to house clean. Future Reommendation

Stuck in a Yandere Visual Novel… Help!! - comedic game where the MC gets isekaied into a yandere game he played and has to survive. One of the few on the list that has a renamable MC. I have yet to play the updated version though.

Forgive My Sins, Father/ Forgive My Desires, Father - two sides of the same coin, though only one side is the yandere.

Mistrick/Misfiction/Line88 - all created by @hatogedev, Mistrick and Misfiction's yanderes are the same character, but Line88 is a kinetic novel. Future Recommendation for that last one.

Blood and Lust and Lust for Blood - I like the character design for Dimitri, but the game is a little uh... well, it could be more polished, let's say. Future Recommendation.

Killing Kiss - mobile game, but I really like Ryu and his design. The yandere in this one only really appears in one ending though.

Gender Neutral MC/ Male or Female Selection Games

Heart Fragment - extremely well made game, and you can choose a more masculine or feminine appearance. The yandere in this one is fairly light though.

Froot Basket Dark Chocolate - this one is kind of weird because you're actually playing as the yandere but the "MC" (Jordan), can have their gender chosen and has a set design.

Picture Perfect Romance -MC does have a design, though not given a name or gender. Very surreal game, I will say.

The Things You Do for Love!! - the MC is the yandere interestingly enough and you can choose their gender, and has a cute design. Still debating if I want to do a recommendation on this one though.

Degrees of Lewdity - does this count? I mean you can customize what your MC looks like and there are up to two yandere in this game

Purrfect Apawcalypse - Olive, the main character is nonbinary so I will put them on the list, though the yandere is yandere for another character. It's a triology and very good.

I also have my own game @perfectlovevn, which has Eris, an MC with a design and strong personality as well. I'm still doing the SFX/Music assignment for it but you can see my progress as it goes.

Anyways, I hope that was able to help you. There's a butt ton of other yandere games I still need to get through on itchio, so I may find some more in the future.

[mythos321]

Most of my random thoughts while reading chapter 8 of Moon Rising!(with my thoughts as a whole on the novel at the end so far)

Chpater 8:

-“We’re eating together! You haven’t even finished your hairy smelly carcass thing!” I love Kinkajous passive aggressiveness-

-

Awwwwww, I love these two

-seriously I love Kinkajou so much she carries the novel fr(that is an exaggeration the book is genuinely very good)

-insert “she wants that cookie” meme here

-Anemone trying to pull the pampered pretty princess stuff is so funny lmao, she even tried the baby eyes on Clay lmao

-Clay mentally saying “Oh, dear” like he’s an aging grandmother is everything to me

-Genuinely what the fuck did Coconut and Marsh do to you Qibli-

-Oh….Clay no…you chose like, one of the three worst possible candidates for this

-…honestly why DID they choose Sora, she’s not like super nice just very shy, wouldn’t someone like Tamarin have done better for a clawmate

-“Does she like her better than me?”

Kinkajou I am 90% sure Moons in love with you-

-and then comes the whole Darkstalker reveal and all that-

Now for my overall thoughts so far!

I definitely like it a lot! I feel it really does set things up well and can be very hard to put down at times with how invested you get, and does a good job at establishing the new setting

an unpopular opinion of mine though is probably that I prefer the graphic novel? that’s mainly cause of some of the neat visuals it has though, and some things completely switch in how I feel on things(especially for characters)

as for the characters, I really like everyone so far, even if I hold slight disdain for some of them it’s mostly just me playing it up

Now my ranking of the(current Jade Winglet):

1:Kinkajou, how can anyone hate this girl, she is great in every scene she’s in and just a delight to see. Also honestly from what we see of her mind I think she’d actually be a very unique PoV for a book to see someone getting their mental ass kicked

2:Moonwatcher, she’s so good in her book and can be very fun. One nitpick I have is her randomly being super into scrolls at times? It seems a little derivative of a certain Dragonet of Destiny(seriously why ditch that name it is factually the coolest thing ever), I don’t really mind it much though, especially since she can still very unique on her own, and I feel her emotional vulnerability is shown really well. Weirdly enough, one of the things that makes her character for me was when she was excited to catch that goat, it’s simple, but I feel it does set her apart some more

3:Carnelian, I don’t have much reason lmao she’s just pretty funny and I feel like if she didn’t get iced early could’ve made for a fun character lol

4:Winter, honestly it MIGHT be from just how much I liked him in the graphic novels, but Winter still ranks in the middle for me. Sure he can be a jerk but you can already see his emotional vulnerability and his true self, the self that isn’t hindered by his parents abuse, really is. Also him lightening up near the end of Part One is nice, and I know(hope) he’ll go back to the top when I finish this book

5:Qibli, yeah no I just don’t like him that much lmao. He feels so fake all the time(mostly cause he canonically is), never truly being sincere and just wanting to do what he thinks will make people like him, and just has a tendency to make things worse. Do I feel bad for the kid? Of course I do, doesn’t mean I have to like him. I have seen through his characters disguise and I still don’t like him

6:Turtle, the only reason he’s this low is because of his lack of screen time, it’d be disingenuous to put him higher. I just KNOW he’s gonna shoot up the ranks when I start reading Escaping Peril though

7:Umber, he has very little screentime like Turtle, but unlike him he will literally stop appearing after this book until the upcoming book 16, also made a one off likely unserious comment about Clay, as such he is stuck here, forevermore

On an ending note, can’t wait to get around to reading the novel version of part 2!

I bet the plot will get really explosive from here

[grayseyebrowscar]

Do you or any of your friends that I see you interact with have any thunder legion ideas? cause I think they're neat little people

uhhhhhhhhhh fuck i forgot kori's fairy tail blog but uh @creaticare is my main thunder legion buddy to answer for wanting thunder legion shit and i think @pencilofawesomeness has some ik she makes some good art good soup so go to them to ask for some as well if yheyre fine with that lol - and if anyone else who sees this and wanna add themselves as free promo for such why not

but heres some of my hcs!! (mostly bix related ones lol)

the team live together and have since team founding - laxus has a room as well bc why not

also out of the ones who went to ft like the order they joined it goes freed, ever, bix - i have lore for that later however i havent finished plotting that fic yet but iirc freed joined bc he befriended laxus while lacus was on a job and just followed him to fairy tail bc of the family lore i have for my boi, evergreen joined bc she wanted to and immediately befriended freed and the team began there, and bix joined bc he is a golden retriever

the green motif for the team each having a green item (ever her clothes, bix's eyes iirc and ofc freeds hair) was on purpose and in which ever felt left out (it started with a green scrunchie and went down hill from there

sorry to be on brand for a second but all three are actually really good friends with team shadowgear!! they're besties your honour

bix has terrorized the other two with the monstrocities he calls meals

if the destiel meme exists in their universe it is the only way bix will share news with people sometimes

bixlow carries random dice in his pocket and will throw them on the ground anytime hes around freed just to annoy him - freed always knows when its about to happen bc bix will say "hold on real quick i gotta roll for insert random dnd phrase"

bix does too many things just for the bit (they are used to this and expect most things just to be a bit at this point)

freed has been chased by bix before bc bix is about to lick him. bix has also tried to chase ever to lick her and bix was unsucessful

[fantasy-drawings-ra]

Here are some miscellaneous drawings I’ve made months ago and forgot to post here.

Sketches Descriptions in order:

Desmond Sycamore sitting contemplatively with his right hand under the side of his chin. Whilst looking to his left. He is also in a different outfit because I like practicing new outfits with him seeing as I draw him the most.

Second is Qifrey standing in a 3/4 angle and the drawing is a little passed his knees. He has his left hand over his heart and his right outstretched to the side he is looking in is flowy robe and hat.

Third is one page of two of a Brewster comic I’m working on in digital right now, though panel 2 and 3 are swapped. I got the idea after logging in when I haven’t got to play in a while and thought of this comic based on his response.

Fourth is my attempt at Link in his new Tears of the Kingdom design. With his hair flowing his his face is in a side profile looking over his shoulder to the right with his left hand (our right is outstretched slightly to catch the tear gem and his right arm at his side. (Side note: I drew this before playing the game.)

Fifth is Elaine from The Blind Prince webtoon (which is so good and gets me excited every Tuesday evening to go read) she is looking to the left side profile shot clasping her hands forward. Looking surprised yet hopeful. (This probably is my favourite of the sketches because I think it was the one that turn out the best.)

Sixth slide is Queen Sonia from Tears of the Kingdom looking to the right with a smiling expression with her hands outstretch forward to match the Rauru drawing in the third slide. (Insert a ‘I just think they’re neat!’ Meme here)

Seventh slide is Rauru from Tears of the Kingdom looking to the left in a side profile to Sonia with a smile on his face and hands also outstretched. Both Sonia and Rauru’s I feel could be better but I drew them at night when I felt the drive to draw even though I had little energy to apply it to. Hopefully if I do get to draw them in digital it will hopefully be better.

[night-market-if]

Deeply self-indulgent prompt on my end, but I'd love to know how Milo would react to an MC that doesn't smile often, smiling at something he said? (insert "I just think he's neat" meme here)

I smiled a little, laughing at what he had to say and trying to hide it behind the glass of water I was drinking. Milo, who was drinking his typical bourbon, stared at me with wide and excited eyes.

"You do smile!" he proclaimed rather loudly. It garnered the attention of not one, but five tables. Not that anyone could blame him as he looked like he was about to jump from his own seat. "Do it again!"

"What?" I startled. "What? No."

"Do it again!" he demanded gleefully.

I could feel the corners of my lips twitching and tried to duck down out of the now curious gazes surrounding us. "Milo, you're making a scene."

"Ladies, gents, lady-gents and gently-ladies. Oh, and Carl. Hey, Carl."

"Hey, Milo," a voice came from the back.

"Today marks a special occasion. An occasion to outlast all other occasions. To replace the greatest holidays and the most dour of work weeks. Today, my friend, smiled at one of my jokes. And I know, I know. How could they not? I'm hilarious. But--" he was abruptly cut off when I pulled him back down from his chair.

"I will never smile again if you don't stop."

With a lazy grin, he winked at me. "I like it when you're handsy."

Small little guy with 0 clue that he's going to face The Horrors in a minute

Anyways, I just want to say that you absolutely nailed the horror elements of this issue. Admittedly I think that having a phobia of skeletons made this one extra creepy for me, but in general I'm a big fan of the buildup in this issue, as well as the horror behind the fact that we and Pinepaw both have no clue how many cats were buried there. It especially shook our favorite little guy up, considering that he wasn't able to enjoy snacking with Cormorantpaw when Cormorantpaw just saying hi to him would usually make his day. Unfortunately having a crush does not solve the horrors

We got a very brief appearance from my favorite mystery man Rainhaze, some neat lore and Cormorantpaw making some progress in their relationship instead of Pinepaw being the one to make the first move but at what cost. at what cost

Anyways I'm sorry if this got long but I'm just here to say that I loved this issue and now I'm going to go cope with the emotional impacts this kitty comic has on me

Insert the clueless meme.

Thank you, I'm really glad you liked the issue! I wanted to try and strike that vague "anything could be down there" kind of horror with the skeletons being uncountable. Definitely something that rattled Pinepaw, enough that he couldn't even enjoy eating with Cormorantpaw. :( Poor guy.

I will sprinkle in as many Rainhaze appearances as I can! Someday we'll get around to him. Until then.

Don't apologize for long asks at all! They're my favorites to read, and it really touches me knowing that people liked my comic enough to talk about it at length. I'm glad to have your readership. :)

Alright... finally got to Meg... but the chapter might come out this weekend instead thanks to being busy. Grrr.

So maybe I'll spit out more ideas, since Tumblr is my new note wall. Not everything is final, but some might make it into the final draft hehe enjoy my brainstorming will happen again

-IMMA ABUSE LESTER. HE GETS WHUMP IN TDP HAHAHA, IM EXCITED FOR THAT oh and in WoNH too?? :0

-i really want to put in a scene somewhere where Lester just breaks down from stress and Apollo/Meg comforts him like FUCK this kid dude!!! he needs a break!!! He's scared, he doesn't quite get what's going on, raaaa!!

-Lester fights Commodus all I can post without more spoilers,,, but HOW do I MAKE that STUPID FIGHT IN THE STADIUM BETTER the idea for it rn is crummy... oh and how to make Leander here have that bi awakening and when bc I NEED THE BOY TO BE BI

-I actually really should be taking this a book at a time but forget it lmao. I also need to educate myself on stealth sequences for TLT... and for Shatterverse now that I think about it. Not an idea just me yelling at me as usual

-Lester punches every single emperor in the face and I am making this happen no matter what (insert markiplier punch meme here but it's lester)

-hey what if Apollo taught Lester ancient greek and latin??? can I do that??? just to be wholesome???

-angst angst w his family too bc I feel like it. Don't know how ill do it but I'll try

-One idea from the snippets I found showed that Lester actually knew both Piper and Percy, but due to his character being changed its just Percy now... tho I still want him to know one of other Seven if possible, maybe just Annabeth? Obviously it would barely be like acquaintances but still a neat idea

-An idea I adored from said snippets will also be returning. Can't say much except this: I got the idea originally from when I read my copy of the Illiad for the first time- Apollo of the Golden Sword. Trust me, it's not quite what you think. :>

-I've noticed a few errors in ToN, so I'll try to correct or explain them in TLT. One bugs me super badly. Oh, and that meeting with a cat and a severed head, Bast and Mimir? That will build into Mortal Hero, Lesterverse's second installment and the first actual story instead of a "rewrite." Of course, that's quite far down the line, but there's a LOT that happens in there.

-and finally, make Jason's death worse because protective boi. Again, no spoilerssss hehe

Just a reminder that my ask box is open! Feel free to make requests, ask about the AU (and Shatterverse! I'll be sharing about it eventually!) and whatever you please!
