#*slaps episode 6-7* you can fit So Much Trauma in these babies

[saltpepperbeard]

oh, and you know what else?

ned going, "what happened to you? what happened? you used to be a killer. but now you're just a washed-up, low-born, dirtbag" to ed?

like okay, that of course kicked stede's protectiveness into high-gear. because he himself has had to endure years and years and YEARS of being talked down to, so you can be DAMN sure no one's going to do so to his beloved.

but once again, ONCE AGAIN, it was another phantom, another notch in the "you defile beautiful things" belt. it's just another bit reinforcement to stede that he was the one to "happen" to ed. that his true self, his personality, his softness, he...was what happened to ed.

that he "brought history's greatest pirate to ruin."

so, not only did ned insult his beloved, but struck that same, terrible (and entirely untrue) chord. it was like a string really, a string that had been pulled so SO tight with no chance to relax, no chance to fix itself.

and what happens when a string is pulled put under that much tension for so long?

it snaps.

Ok! So.... this was deleted and I had to rewrite it cuz tumbrl said 'suffer'....

Anyway! I'm dropping this bunch of incorrect quotes, feat Blot change au cuz I gave Ace new power! :3 episode/book 1-6 spoilers.

Cater @ the first years: Oh dear, oh dear, gorgeous...(done with life)

Cater @ Ace every minute: you fucking big baby... (affectionate)

Riddle: *a tyrant with anger issues and having one of the scariest UM*

Deuce: *an ex-delinquent, with a record for getting into fights*

Ace: *LITERALLY has a criminal record, raised under STIX's watch 24/7 because of the danger he can be*

Cater: Trey... you have some wierd children...

Trey(a mom in denial), choking on tea: I have WHAT now?

*during Azul overBlot, when Ace unintentionally forced Deuce in an overBlot with the ginger as a phantom*

Deuce, in his mind: what happened?

Ace, in Deuce's mind: I would like to know too...

Deuce: WHY ARE YOU IN MY MIND?! GET OUT!

Ace: I can't... so... ✨deal with it✨...

Deuce: tf?!

Ace: anyway... wanna hear my kazoo solo?

Deuce: .....

Any student after an overBlot figth: what'cha got there?

Cater carrying Ace and the other overBlot like sacks of potatoes: my phone...

*during Jamil overBlot, after the group got dokkaned across scarabia*

Ace: *slaps roof of Kalim* This bad boy could fit so much blot and trauma!

Kalim, tearing up: I am a bad friend....

Ace: see?

Idia, picking up the phone: you reached the house of internal panic... your personal anxiety Sass entity of disappointment in here... if you are the small Trappola, close the call and don't do arson...

Cater: it's Diamond...

Idia: applies to you as well...

Idia pointing to Mrs Trappola: this is my therapist that I consciously avoid going to an appointment because I'm petty, even if it's free...

Idia pointing to Mr Trappola: This is my doctor who said that I shouldn't drink only coffee and energy drinks to survive...

Idia pointing to Cater and Ace's big brother: these are my hitmen, who also work for me as spies... I like to not interact a lot with them like any other being except Ortho and cats...

Idia pointing to Ace: this is the reason coffee and energy drinks don't work anymore on me... also he recently learned how to do arson from his dormhead...

Ace: :3

Idia, after Ace even took a breath in NRC: Depression was last year for me, now I'm having a constant crisis over pizza to cope with everything...

Ortho: Nii-san... Ace got into a fi-

Idia: The box is square, the pizza is circle and the slices are triangles... GODS WHY?!

Ortho: .... I'm booking an appointment for your therapist...

Student: *overblots*

Ace, who is hungry: It's free real estate!

Trey: dinner ideas?

Grim: tuna!

Deuce: egg sandwich...

Epel: An apple pie...

Jack: Meat with seasonings...

Sebek: something edible...

Ace: blot...

Trey: All ideas are nice, except the last 2... do you wanna talk about it?

Ace and Sebek: no...

Cater: I asked Ace what would be appropriate for a date... he told me that apeshit is sexy... He forced an overBlot on me... later that night, Rook and Vil told me I was really sexy when in overBlot... I told this to Riddle and now he's in a state of shock in a corner...

Riddle, visibly scared: Ace was right and I don't know how to cope with this...

Trey: I am not a mom...

Deuce, coming in, sleepy: mom... can you please tell me a bedtime story?

Ace, tagging along: moooooooommmm.... can I have a glass of milk?

Riddle, wobbling in there, drowsy: mama... I had a nightmare...

Trey: go to my room and I'll come too in a bit...

Cater, who watched everything: you are a crappy liar...

Trey:..... I am not a mom...

Cater: and in denial apparently...

The overBlot gang getting kidnapped to STIX: ....

Ace's brother: So...

Cater: I will chop off your tongue if you say it...

Ace's brother, looking at Vil: he's your sugarda-

Cater, jumping on him with a knife: You lost your tongue privileges, my friend!

Rook breaks in stix: Bonjour :D

Ace's bro, with a tranquilizer: Aurevoir... >:3

Ace, puffing his cheeks cuz he didn't get dragged back to STIX:...

Deuce: why are you sad?

Ace: cuz they have the audacity to not invite me to their big boys queer pijama party for overBlots...

Deuce:.....

Ace: they also have video-games...

Deuce: >:O

Ace's brother: you

Ace: you

Ace's brother: have to go to NRC

Ace: have to go to NRC

Ace's brother: and be a good student

Ace: and be a good student

Ace's brother: You have to go to NRC and be a good student

Ace: I have to go to a facy boy school and fuck it up!

Ace's brother, tearing up: you learn so well...

Idia, to Cater: you will take care of him...

This is all for now! It's just chaos...

You can tell I'm not the best at the comedy department...

'The Art of Conveyance and Round-Trippery' Liveblog!

Sorry this is a few days late!! I moved across the country this weekend, we drove like 13 hours within 2 days and we did a lot of heavy lifting. I'm exhausted, but the boxes are slowly emptying and I've been wanting to watch this episode so gd bad, so LESGO

Over halfway through the season!!!! That's absolutely surreal

1:11 oooh they're getting their royal fitting

1:22 LMAOO WTF 😂😂 Princess Diaries vibes

1:42 ✨CONFIDENCE✨

1:52 Alfonse is a perfect name for that guy HAHA

2:05 Nathaniel, my guy, you've made some points

2:11 "do you feel your power?" POWER RANGERS, GO

2:24 no no hesitation just prolly thinkin bout how he was caught cheatin

2:39 "can you not allow yourselves luxury?" okay fr I feel that I get Nice Things Guilt(tm) too easily

2:52 dayummmm let's talk about Sticky being a hat stall between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor, mans is brave as fuck under extreme pressure and loyal to the point of putting himself on the line

3:15 bro Sticky getting some recognition. Love to see it, he deserves it

3:19 "is that a coincidence? Or written in the stars?" IS DR. CURTAIN CATCHING ON THAT THEY KNEW EACH OTHER BEFORE OR LIKEEEE

3:49 WHAT WORD AROUND CAMPUS 😭😭😭 MY BOYS ARE NOT A MISTAKE HOW DARE YOU

4:09 why doess the action of Dr. Curtain putting the sash on them seem so nefarious

4:36 I dont really understand the whole pastel yellow, blue, and pink palette of the school but the boys both look pretty okay in their vest-sash getup

4:42 THE OPENINGGGGG. This shit slaps.

5:41 Kate and Constance look so fucking cute in that shot, dont ask me why but hnnggggg

5:54 sash rope 😂😭 kate, honey, that's a reach

6:09 it might feel buttery, but, my guy, it also looks buttery. It's literally the color of butter. Get yourself some crisco

6:24 I find it kinda interesting that they made up new riddles for the show, I'm almost positive that that one wasn't in the book. Correct me if I'm wrong though

7:03 "I'm not gonna apologize for knowing things" the sass. the ✨confidence✨. living for it

7:03 If they build on that it sets Sticky up really nicely for the arc in the second book where he starts to show off a little

7:15 tiny Constance who is constantly dressed in pink with cute little braids is the perfect medium for the most morbid comments 😂😂

7:55 Martina's hot in her uniform. Can't prove me wrong.

8:15 why does that make me sad 🥺 eat with your friendssss. iirc they only talked about eating at the Messenger table in the books

8:26 dipshits forgot their lunches. Seems Constance is holding the communal braincell atm

8:50 anyone have Guiness on speed dial? Reynie and Sticky have a submission for them

9:25 oh hello this was alluded to in the preview!!! Morse code is compromised, rip

10:05 so are Jackson and Jillson stuck with night guard duty all the time?? They've been outside at night a lot

10:18 ahhhhhh the little blinkie light, stopppp

10:25 MILLIGANNNNN!!!

10:25 so is this the point where he starts staying on the island with them????

10:39 so are they just like "fuck it we'll do it right before sundown" ???? Like Jackson and Jillson are still gonna be on the lookout, they aren't gonna chill just because it's not fully dark

10:50 did the kids.....just not tell them that Mr. Bloom was on the island 😂 nice oversight guys

11:05 MADGE TIME MADGE TIME

11:05 remind me to tell you guys a story about Madge, I may or may not have done something irl a few years ago that would make y'all proud 😂😂😂

11:16 idk why but it makes me so happy that they kept Madge as a peregrine falcon

11:37 Rhonda, my love, you have my heart in your hands

11:46 roll credits

12:05 THE HEAD SHAKE HAHAHAH

12:06 Awww man, I was so excited for Milligan to be on the island .-. He must have been scoping out the inlet

12:07 "they're quite regal" A. I read the subtitles as "legal" the first time and that's somehow really in character for him, and B. IS MILLIGAN GOING TO NAME HER???!? HER MAJESTY???? PLEASE I WOULD LOVE THAT SO MUCH

12:15 his grimace KILLS ME

12:17 the hard cut from Nicholas in a brown setting and brown suit to Nathaniel in a blue setting and blue suit was lowkey striking

12:36 are they looking up Morse code 😳 can you imagine if they wrote down the message and are now decoding it

12:41 omfg all that for a HAT 🙃 I feel stupid

12:51 two things: 1. Those walls are atrocious, and 2. Yeah, talk about Morse code in a louder voice Connie girl, you're just in a public hallway

13:03 I'm sorry but those orange pillar things are not the vibe

13:03 the golden gate bridge called, they want their arches back

13:10 please let Kate climb the tower before the end of season 1. please.

13:22 y'all are about to be flying something else 😎

13:33 cleansing breaths

13:47 OH HELLO MESSENGER DUTY ALREADY??

14:06 what the heck is that teal pole for 😭😭

14:12 blindfold timeeee

I'm so sorry but I'm exhausted, it's 11:30 pm on Sunday night right now, I'll finish this episode tomorrow morning after I get some sleepies

~~

Good morningggg lesgetatit

14:50 "vomit of metal" ashhdjdjd

15:16 a wild Martina appears!

15:36 and if you folks look to your left, you'll see a wild Constance being the voice of reason once again

15:57 "lose the bucket" "I'm not gonna do that" HELL YEAH KATE

16:07 I get not having the bucket on the court lolol, I thought Martina was telling Kate to lose the bucket in general. Like, yeah, good luck convincing her to so that

16:35 show!Kate is much angrier than book!Kate and I'm still deciding how I feel about that. The Kate we've known from the books is a sunshine baby with looots of repressed trauma.

17:03 ......what is that. why is that.

17:11 WAIT IS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE REYNIE AHEHDJDJD

17:15 HI MADGE

17:41 the grand swell in the music makes me think it's going to go comically wrong

17:51 she's majestic because she's a queen 🥺

18:03 LMAO CALLED IT

18:14 Rhonda and Number Two getting at each other is such a sisterly thing to do 😂😂😂

18:37 ohhhhh? Someone's approaching? Miss Perumal perhaps????

18:45 YEAHHHHH BABY

18:50 PROTECTIVE MOM COMIN IN HOT!!!

19:22 THEYRE SO PRECIOUS 😭😭😭😭 I feel like I've been subconsciously starved for her and Mr. Benedict's interactions

19:36 died at that line in the one trailer

20:00 so Miss Perumal pulled a Sherlock Holmes. Love that for her

20:20 Cheri Tupintown??? Of all the aliases they could pick, Cheri Tupintown???

20:33 "Power in Truth Inc" that HAS to be something Rhonda came up with

21:01 you can literally watch Mr. Benedict realize that this is a woman not to be fucked with and he is CORRECT

21:23 "he's fine. Perfectly fine." At this, Mr. Benedict's pants caught aflame.

21:52 something about Constance sitting in on practice!!! It scratches an itch!!!!

22:19 "incorporate the helix. Live in the helix." Lord Helix is pleased with this offering.

22:26 so what I'm hearing is Kate is going to blow up on Constance for messing with the bucket

23:13 unrelated but Jillson'a shoes are cute

23:29 why does this room give off Johnny Depp's willy wonka vibes

24:13 that looks like a chair from a doctor's office waiting room 😭

25:29 they do be egg heads tho

26:02 baby girl, I have no idea why you're crying at weird art but let me dry your tears 🥺🥺

26:50 SHE FOUND ITTTT

27:27 okay Indiana Jones, go off

27:46 why did that kinda sound like Miss Perumal

28:43 the return of everyone's favorite, "enjoyable"

29:05 not that I'm not loving the ice breaker questions and the one-sided conversation, but I'm not loving it

29:22 oh so we're getting right into it aren't we

29:54 his eyes being open again makes this infinitely creepier

30:36 "where's your proof?" Miss Perumal doesnt fuck around!!!

31:29 you're telling me Constance has been there all day?? And Kate went to find her???? 🥺

31:58 oh so we're getting right to it then?? Kate addressing her independence and trust issues arc????

33:29 NEWS!!!!

33:49 CONSTANCE RIDING PIGGYBACK!!!!!!

34:04 okay, so they opened the murder hole, what are they gonna do now

34:59 Italian? 🤨 m'sir that is so fancy

34:59 fun story I learned Italian diction in college, so I know a little bit

35:16 "take your time" the whisperer says, immediately repeating the prompt to get the answer sooner

35:31 theeeeere it is

35:46 SOMETHING ABOUT THE WHISPERER SAYING "YOU ARE HOME" 😭😭😭 the show really played up the cult shit!!

36:02 Kate being protective of Constance 🥺

36:20 ohhh shit is it time for Connie girl to have double Reynie? Double Sticky?

36:36 STICKY

36:52 "what kind of nonsense?" HAVE THEY NOT ASKED THAT BEFORE THIS?????

37:14 "and your tiny brain can somehow pick it up!!" KATE STOP 😂😂😂

37:16 "I knew you had to be special in some way." WE DONT HAVE TIME TO UNPACK ALL OF THAT

37:51 she's right, this is disregard for their safety. The show made Mr. Benedict and his team a lot more back-alley and dishonest, and Miss Perumal has every reason to be pissed

38:30 oh good they finally remembered he has narcolepsy

39:38 and the best mom award goes to:

40:38 I was gonna say that this hallway is how I imagined the KEEP in riddle of ages but then I remembered that (spoilers) the Institute is the KEEP

40:46 oh, hello propoganda

41:10 that's the other person Rhonda couldn't contact, along with Mr. Bloom. This has to be the brainsweeping process

41:22 yeppppp

41:44 this dark doctor's office theme gives me horror movie vibes

42:22 ohhhh, so that's how they replaced that scene where the four of them jump in a crate to hide and Sticky drops his glasses in the open

42:47 and so we've come to the part of the story where Sticky and Reynie become infinitely more conflicted

42:47 and since we've reached that point..... can we have the white knight scene? Pretty please? Please Disney I'm begging you-

43:12 so Reynie just figured that out without Constance? :/

44:03 love the manipulation

44:31 I'm sorry, the farm?

44:35 farm and forest????

45:16 "the Emergency has served its purpose" 😳 well okay then murder man

45:39 "one thought, one purpose" the hive mind rises once more

45:48 LOVE THE MANIPULATION

46:07 "what have you done to earn anyone's trust?" VALID

46:26 "please do!" WHY AM I EMOTIONAL

47:06 "we still have the falcon" that you do 😂

47:19 AYYY HERE WE GO!!! Time for Milligan to stay on the island??

47:49 ohhhh Constance, casual telepath strikes again

48:16 "stop it, Kate!" OOOOHHHHH

48:53 that line ("it would be nice to be unburdened") would be funny as shit if not for the fact that Constance is a telepath unbeknownst to herself and can both subconsciously perceive people's thoughts and hear the subliminal messages

49:20 HI MRS. PERUMAL!!!

49:25 wow, she's really going through with it 😳 not that I doubted her, but still, that's dedication

49:39 OH SHIT

50:17 oh, so he's an asshole to SQ too. Got it. Torches and pitchforks? Ready to kick his ass?

50:40 "for the moment, anyway" FUCKIN WHAT

This episode was really good!!! They covered a LOT. I hope Miss Perumal comes back to the group and talks about her findings, I hope Milligan goes to get the kids and they tell him no, and I hope they get that classic 4-person Society brainstorming and binding time that hits that sweet spot
