#AGH I LOVE INFO DUMPS

[tw1nkee28]

1, 11, 30 for the ask game (: ?

1. are they associated with a certain color? what color do they wear the most?

Usually I pick colors that I associate with them when I make their refs. It's usually the background color shgdhd

Dawn: Probably a mute orange, yellow, or dull green. The one I used for his background was #8F6B56

Jackrabbit: definitely yellow. Probably like a sandy one

Moribund: he's a really depressing and violent oc for me, so I usually think of grey or a really dark red.

11. what do they have in common with you? how are they different? would you get along with them?

Dawn: I don't think we have too much in common, but I do think there was some projection on him. Like the fact that we're both very reliant on an older brother called Dusk (Dusk was based on my older-brother figure, also called Dusk, who I adore with my whole being). As well as the fact that he holds grudges and sticks to his own corner when he can. We're both generally silent people.

Dawn is tall, very,,, tall,,,, I am the opposite hsgdhhd. He is also incredibly paranoid and despises his parents, neither of which line up with me.

I don't know about friendship level get along, but I'd like to sit in comfortable silence with him. He seems cozy to hang out with

Jackrabbit: Jack was really based off of me in a sense, in a lot of ways shgd. A lot of physical attributes like eye color, body weight, etc. but also things like how we're both transgender and some mental issues that he struggles with. He was more of a self insert than anything hdhdh

Some things that differentiate us? For one, I have no love life HSGHD and while my eyes are sensitive still, lights don't bother me as much as they bother him. And he's a generally confident character, doesn't take shit from anyone. I,,, am not 😭 social anxiety makes me stick to my own corner.

I think we'd get along. I think we have enough in common that we could get along, plus I don't like bright lights either HSGHD

Moribund: HOUGH, I don't have much in common with him. I think the most that we have in common is the fact that he's going to therapy HSGDH

There's a lot of differences between us, like how he's a narcissist and has hallucinations,,, (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠) He also has an insane hyperfixation on guns, I do not

I don't think we'd get along, I genuinely think he'd scare me irl LMAO

30. do they smell like anything notable?

Dawn: probably either those cedar wood candles or cinnamon. I'm leaning towards Cinnamon just off of vibe.

Jackrabbit: hmm, probably coffee (since he's been surviving off that and alcohol for a while)

Moribund: Gunpowder and smoke. No questions asked. He has problems. Hes messing with guns all day, he's gonna start to smell like the things he's working with.... OR grilled cheese actually, Pixel's been making those for him often.

Thank you for the questions :) I apologize for the long response (⁠〒⁠﹏⁠〒⁠)

6 and 44

6 is the age I get mistaken for right?

it varies but usually its about 15-16 but the oldest someone has thought I am is 19

I am 14 years old-

And 44 is a random fact about anything?

Get prepared to die from Greek mythology overload

So i don't know I'd you know anything about Greek mythology

But

So persephone is well known for being hades wife right? The one he stole down to the underworld? so persephones original name was kore- which means peace, and love, and she was supposed to be the embodiment of this. She was not. In the original myth, kore was not stolen down to the underworld, she literally just walked down there and said 'hmm ill stay here' then refused to leave. And hades was like ??? Pretty girl??? Why are you here??? And yeah she had to be bribed by all the gods not just hermes ALL THE GODS

ZUES HIMSELF HAD TO COME AND SPEAK TO HER ABOUT IT.

Instead of it being hermes who proposed the 6 month split, it was kore who did. Even then she would sneak down to the underworld during summer to see her husband. Altogether she caused so much trouble that zues renamed her Persephone which means chaos bringer

Not much of a backstory yet, but what I've kind of got throughout recent-ish roleplay brainstorming is that they reside in the amazon river (or some fictional equivalent of it) and are pissy about the pollution and commotion brought on by tourism - so in an attempt to curb this they have gone about eating any who encroach on their end of the waterway, but this hasn't done much except for bring bounty hunters in and give them gut aches from eating so many ppl ( they were really more built for consuming fish, people are like greasy junk food to them) the tourists haven't stopped coming

I'm not sure where Alon themselves came from or if they had family yet.

The fun stuff and the meat of their story is when they meet Noon and the capybara lady and actually have to socialize lol (after the initial trying-to-eat-them thing)

And eventually Honey but that's way later

Alon brain rot tonight

Swap AU Aleheather post!!

I love love LOVED (agh I can't say it enough sorry!!) @swinginspaceagebachelorette 's au of TDWT (≧∇≦) ʃ♡ƪ !! It's specifically a swap au between Alejandro and Sierra, and the way she writes Alejandro is just so endearing to read! He's like a golden retriever that has random knowledge! The fact she lowered the psycho-stalker quality is what helped endear his swap personality especially!! I think I already pestered her in her comment section about his personality and appreciating the heck out of her writing there 😹 I doodled a bunch since I just loved her au sm!!!

But before I start dumping doodles I made from the fic, the link to her fic is here ! Make sure you have an AO3 account before you read of course though!!😸

NOW FOR THE DOODLES MAUHAHAHAHHAHA

This is a scene from the fic ♪(^∇^*)! It's from one of the most recent chapters (chapter 29)

Zoom out of the scene lol

I still find it funny and shocking that Heather is able to support the weight of a man over 6 ft on her head 🙀Her head's gotta be made of STEEL! Super scary just how strong it is! Steel is my only conclusion for her head strength.. (Yes I'm not going to acknowledge the shocked Gwen, her issue of the day! she partook in cheating like a gross person and in great irony considering her s1 ordeal with Heather & Trent (* ￣︿￣))

ANYWAYS ONTO THE HC SECTION!!

These hcs are Aleheather centric like the one above since they're cutie patooties in the fic AND it's an Aleheather fic what do u want from me..(～o￣3￣)～

I think it'd be a nice off screen past time that Alejandro info dumps to Heather and she's at least partially listening! The dynamic kind of reminds me of Phineas and Ferb's parents in a sense where the dad infodumps to the mom and she just listens + enjoys it(❁´◡`❁) I LOVE that dynamic btw! It's such an endearing dynamic that to find it in my fav tdi ship is so sweet (to me at least!)

Onto my next hc!

Since Alejandro is taking the place of Sierra in this au, I thought it'd be sweet that he also adopted her hobby of glitter glue crafts. You know who also has a hobby of glitter glue crafts?! HEATHER💥

I'd think in one of Alejandro's off screen infodumps, he talks about his hobby of glitter glue crafts, the techniques and brands related to the aforementioned to Heather! She'd slip out some of her knowledge and love for it, OR she immediately starts rambling back about glitter glue crafts!!

THAT'S RIGHT BABY ( •̀ ω •́ ) !

Swap!Aleheather bonding over GLITTER GLUE CRAFTS 💥💥Ugh just how much more cute can you get with that headcanon?!

Another hc incoming!!

Since Heather always has her hair up in a ponytail in the main series, I thought a nice way to show her trust is with her hair! In general her hair has always been something special to her, that's why she fought for a wig in season 2. Since an AMAZING amount of value is placed on her hair, her showing her trust to Alejandro through her hair would be a nice way to visually show she trusts him! Alejandro basically the only genuine bond she's shown to make in the series, canon and in the fic, so I think the swap hcs make it just all the more sweet (/▽＼) !! In a way, since to Swap-ejandro Heather is just a celebrity crush, this sort of interaction deepens their relationship and his feelings beyond just a celeb crush (❁´◡`❁)

NOW FOR THE LAST HC!

This one isn't an Aleheather hc, but moreso a hc focused on Swap-ejandro's appearance! I think that as a trade off, he's not as physically built as canon Alejandro but instead taller compared to him (which is scary considering canonically Alejandro is 6 ft..) Since he's in the place of Sierra in this AU, he probably has enough strength to fight off baboons, he probably just has a hidden build! In general, Sierra and Alejandro in this AU had their skills and personalities swapped, so as a result their backstories technically were too with some small tweaks! I think this AU has been fun to make a bunch of hcs in, congrats if u got to the end of me convulsively info dumping about my hcs on the awesome au (lll￢ω￢) !

Full credits to the author man! She's mega talented! Please support @swinginspaceagebachelorette's work and any future works from her! o(〃＾▽＾〃)o

Signing off, hope this reaches the right audience!

[softpawpup]

Want to info or headcanon dump about Eddie Gluskin? I don't mind, I like reading other people's takes on the character!

geez i just love eddie gluskin !! i relate to him a lot of ways. a desperation to be loved, the trauma i relate to, the harm he suffers as a result of being mentally ill and the way hes treated because of it. he's just so special to me!! this isn't super agere centered but i just love him so bad!! i think he struggles with viewing himself as a monster, which is why he's so determined to be the father he never had, yknow. like he wants to be good so bad, but he finds it hard to be the good person he wants to be. and since this is an agere/petre blog i'll get into some agere stuff.... i think his desire to be the perfect father would make him an amazing caregiver!! he'd be so eager to have a little one to dote on and he'd be so gentle and loving. he'd be the kind and affectionate father he was denied and he'd be so giving and just agh !!

[ishihirasenma]

except for suika and gen, who do you think would be an interesting character for the survival arc after the second worldwide petrification?

ahhh this is such!! an interesting question!!1! ✨✨✨ヽ(° ∇ ° )ﾉ after really thinking about it, i'd actually Love to see hyoga in that situation! AHHH hyoga would have been the perfect character for a wholesome plot after suika!!1! (」°ロ°)」✨

of course, he'd have to had come back from his mission with tsukasa and kohaku, or not have been on that mission at all, but putting those factors aside!

i think since no one can really tell what he's thinking most of the time, the kingdom would just remain doubtful and skeptical of his loyalty—though they would still rely on him and keep hoping he'll do the right thing. while i find his redemptions wonderful, they aren't enough to make them all 100% assured that he'll never betray them if he gets the chance.

and being the first to revive is Literally his biggest chance to do that. as someone who dedicated his life to martial arts, he might not be that good with chemicals—would probably take some time to figure out how to make nitric acid and fail at getting the exact ratio for a while, but i believe he is smart enough to be successful after just a few weeks.

food would be no problem to him at all. he might not even eat whatever preserved food the kingdom has left to save it for whoever he'll be reviving. surviving on his own would be a breeze.

betraying them would definitely cross his mind, but he has a conscience. and i believe he's still capable of feeling happy, deep down, whenever the kingdom relies on him (at least, that's how i see it in the treasure island arc!). i want to see him contemplate only for a moment before he just sighs and fully gives up on his ideal world, because memories of the others trusting him and accepting him as one of their own would keep replaying in his head—and he would hate to admit it, but he wants to keep his relationship with the kingdom just the way it is, because he's never had friends quite like them before.

i want to see him revive senkuu first, and i want to see senkuu be surprised when he tells him he'll focus on hunting and doing whatever needs physical labor, and tell senkuu to focus on making revival fluids for whoever needs to be revived next. because if hyoga already knew how to make the revival fluid on his own and wanted to betray them, he wouldn't have revived senkuu first—if at all, let alone give him the freedom to choose who to revive.

their few weeks alone together would be pretty quiet, in a good way, with senkuu doing 80% of the talking while hyoga mostly listens to him info dump about anything and everything. senkuu can't help it because it's the kind of company senkuu must have also wanted when he revived by himself before, because being alone in the dark for a long time and still having no one to talk to right after waking up sucked. but here hyoga was, being the perfect listener while also being the most dependable person senkuu could ever ask for while others were still stone. i just think senkuu would be visibly thrilled with this outcome.

AHHH this would have been. hyoga's perfect redemption agh 👊🤧 thank you for this ask omg 🤧 i know i practically already wrote a fic answering this question but now i kinda wanna actually write it as a proper fic o(TᯅTo)

potential of billy switching while he's in the watchtower and it's Very noticeable

(part two of their ask: "ok i forgot to put this in my previous ask but billy switching is most likely due to one of his triggers being mentioned/a similar situation to it and. Agh. Angst. Way to tell your teammates you have DID")

--

When Captain Marvel's in the watchtower, Billy's usually fronting with Marvel and Solomon being co-conscious (in front or near front but just vibing).

Cap's switched in front of League members before. Billy regularly steps back and passes the mic to Solomon whenever someone asks about an old ass magical artifact or seeks counsel. People assume that's the Wisdom of Solomon (the power) kicking in and they're not wrong.

Solomon really does just step up, dip into the deep ass well of limited omniscience that is the Wisdom, and start info dumping. It's in these moments that Cap seems older, wise beyond his years, and laser focused. His speech patterns shift, as does his posture, and if whoever asked the question wasn't currently furiously taking notes they'd probably start to think on it.

Billy usually dips from front entirely if Solomon starts going on for longer than six minutes. He's not needed and he trusts Solomon to yoink him to front if anything less dry happens. It's part of his job after all.

-

But you're asking for angst.

There are several things that could trigger Billy to front or co-con. Let's go from positive to neutral to negative.

[+] If someone's talking about archaeology or really old civilizations or anything in those veins he'll head to front to listen. A lot of what Liam has to say about their parents is centered around their jobs and the stories they'd tell them from work, so Billy has a lot of positive associations there.

[+] If tigers come up in conversation Billy will peak into front to check out what's going on. He fucking loves tigers (as does Liam) and will never miss an opportunity to talk about them.

[o] If Billy hears his name he'll start heading to front from wherever he was, but unless there's urgency behind it or his name comes up a lot he's not gonna rush. Exception is if they were in big form when he dipped, then he books.

[o] If someone who's fronting says Shazam either out loud or internally, Billy and Marvel will basically fucking teleport with how fast they try to get to front. If someone else says Shazam that also gets them there quick, but not as fast.

[-] Billy's almost always fronting in small form but if he's not (or if he's not paying attention) and you touch the small form he's gonna show up real quick. He's going to bristle and he's gonna try to get you to stop making contact and if you refuse to then things are gonna get ugly.

[-] Doesn't matter what fucking form he's in or who's fronting, if Billy perceives someone saying William in a /neg tone to address him he's going to throw hands. Hercules usually isn't far behind whenever Billy gets pissed off but in this case he might not step in. You called this upon yourself.

These are the ones I've thought of so far. More will probably come up as I keep spinning this blorbo in my brain. Already 100% possible one of the negatives happens and from that point the angst writes itself.

Hope this actually answered your ask!

Of Two Worlds (Book 2) Chapter Fourteen

Chapter Fourteen: Fever

            (Y/N) blocked Panda’s punch and spun to kick him back. The two of them were a blur of speed and power as the watches cheered and shouted. They were putting on a good show, hoping to catch Hakari’s attention.

            “Have you seen Hakari?” whispered (Y/N) as she came in close for an attack.

            “No. He isn’t suspicious because he knows me, but he’s avoiding me,” responded Panda, similarly quiet. “The other third-year is also a problem. Are you hiding that you’re a sorcerer?”

            “Yes,” she said. “He never met me since I was isolated as a kid.”

            “Good. Then you know what to do next,” said Panda.

            (Y/N) reeled back and punched him. He flew back (more like jumped, the bad actor he was) and landed on the ground.

            “Agh! What a punch! I can’t move! The animal welfare society won’t stand for this!” cried Panda dramatically.

            (Y/N) nearly deadpanned outright at the terrible acting. She sometimes struggled with identifying people’s jokes and seriousness but the scene in front of her was just ridiculous.

            “And the winner is…(L/N)!!!!!!!!” cheered the announcer while (Y/N) raised her fist half-heartedly, trying to play along.

            Alright, Hakari. Was that enough of a show for you? She glanced around and saw a guard on a phone looking towards her. Looks like it was.

l

            (Y/N) followed Hoshi, third-year sorcerer and Hakari’s girlfriend, as she led her through the halls. Hoshi, (Y/N) had quickly learned, was a chatterbox, and there was not a moment where she was talking.

            “You’re a first-year in high school, right? You’re young, girly,” said Hoshi. “Hakari had to repeat a year in junior high. But it doesn’t matter. He’s come so far, and right now he’s doing better than ever. Kin feels hot again. And that just makes my life better! I love when Kin feels hot.” She pushed open an office door, and (Y/N) walked in, still puzzling over what exactly “feeling hot” meant and if she should be worried.

            “(L/N)! Welcome in,” said Hakari from where he lounged on a couch.

            (Y/N) nodded in greeting. “Hello.”

            “I’ll get straight to the point. You seem like a straightforward, intelligent person,” said Hakari, leaning forward. “Would you believe me if I said you could work one hour a day and make one million yen a month?”

            “What would I have to do?” asked (Y/N).

            “For that info, you gotta pay two hundred-thousand yen,” said Hakari.

            “That would be foolish,” said (Y/N). “You could just take my money and run.”

            “You guessed it.  It’s the classic con. The swindler rakes it in by pretending to be rich and selling tips on how to get rich,” said Hakari. “It’s pretty obvious, but there’s a stupid number of stupid people out there. It all has to do with fever.”

            (Y/N) cocked her head in confusion.

            “Both the deceiver and the deceived are in a fever to change their lives. People get high on the fever and make mistakes. However, without it, people can’t even fall in love,” said Hakari. “And me? I love the fever.”

            I feel like I listen to a lot of people’s weird life-lessons and anecdotes these days, thought (Y/N). And each one just gets weirder than the last.

            “Do you know a more direct way of dealing with the fever?” inquired Hakari. It was a test of her intelligence.

            “Gambling,” said (Y/N), nodding in understanding.

            “Heh…Yeah, you do know,” said Hakari. “Life itself is a gamble. Lots of girls have dumped me ‘cause they hate gambling, but they don’t understand.”

            Personally, with all the random shit that has been happening, I wouldn’t bet on whether a coin with land on its head or tail, thought (Y/N).

            “Society tramples on guys who can’t bet big and guys who don’t know when to quit,” said Hakari. “Everyone gambles. What they hate is losing and going to ruin.” He grinned. “I love the fever, and the fever is gambling, and the gambling is life, and love is control.”

            That’s creepy.

            “I want to control this country’s fever through this fight club,” admitted Hakari. “Now that the existence of curses is public knowledge and Jujutsu Headquarters is barely functioning, this is my chance to expand the business.”

            He’s profiting off of this?! (Y/N) narrowed her eyes in distaste.

            “I want to take care of all obstacles so that I can take advantage of the coming revision of jujutsu regulations and make them publicly acknowledge the existence of the fight club. Anyway, I need a strong piece on the board.” Hakari’s somber gaze met (Y/N)’s. “(L/N)…Wanna get high on my fever?”

            (Y/N) paused for a moment as she thought of the plan. Now was the right time to bring up jujutsu high. He was happy and liked her. She opened her mouth, but Hakari’s phone suddenly rang out. His eyes flicked to it and narrowed.

            Uh-oh.

            “(L/N)…” Hakari’s voice was calm with an edge of steel. “Are you a spy from Jujutsu High?”

            It was a rhetorical question. He knew. So (Y/N) was honest. “Not a spy, but—.”

            Hakari clapped his hands together, and sliding subway doors appeared and snapped shut around (Y/N). She fell into the splits with her torso bowed before sweeping her legs out at him. He tripped backwards but righted himself and closed another pair of doors around her torso. Thankfully, it didn’t cut through her, but it hurt like hell.

            “Listen—!”

            Hakari kicked her into the television screens while dissipating his technique. “When I get a call from Kirara, it means something’s up!”

            Dodging his next punch, (Y/N) twisted him around and pushed his face into the wall.  “Will you listen?!”

            “No! Because you’re like ice.” Hakari threw her across the room where she landed in a crouch and watched him carefully. “And I hate being cold.”

            I can’t help my body-temperature!

            The next time Hakari came out her, (Y/N) ducked under his arm and out of the office. She wanted to summon weapons, but she needed Hakari on their side, and using a sword against him wouldn’t make a good impression. Therefore, he second-best move for her was to get to open ground. Or air. The roof was wide and provided space to move freely.

            Hearing his footsteps behind her, (Y/N) channeled cursed energy threw her fist and burst through the roof door. She was surprised to see Hoshi speaking to Megumi, who was kneeling respectively to ask her to join them, while Panda and Itadori stood by his side.

            That’s one third-year down.

            “(Y/N)?” Megumi frowned before his eyes widened as Hakari appeared, enraged, behind her.

            “Don’t interfere,” she called back to him.

            “Not taking me seriously?!” Hakari was furious.

            (Y/N) took the next blow against an arm she raised to block. She bit her tongue to keep focused. Blood fell from the reopened wounds on her arm. Digging her feet into the ground, she remained steady on her feet. Her eyes narrowed fiercely and pierced deeply into Hakari. The message was clear: I’m not backing down.

            Hakari grinned. “Alright…I’ll listen to ya. As long as you remain standing.”

            “No problem,” replied (Y/N) coolly, a strange contrast to Hakari’s fiery temperament.

            “Kin!” shouted Hoshi, bored with the drama now that she understood the situation. “They say they want your help. So listen to them!”

            “Didn’t I just say I would?!” called back Hakari.

            The group paused and deadpanned. So…we’re good here…? they thought.

            “Why me, (L/N)? This is the first time we’ve met.” Hakari stretched his shoulder as cursed energy flared about him. “I’m surprised I didn’t recognize your name at first, but seeing you now…I think I used to see a kid like you around Jujutsu High. The Halfling, right?” Hakari grinned. “I wouldn’t think you’d trust people easily. So why put your trust in me?” He dealt another blow, and (Y/N) took it, staying upright. His cursed energy physically hurt somehow, but she would not falter.

            “Because I’m willing to work with whoever it takes and do whatever it takes to defeat Kenjaku.” (Y/N) pushed Hakari away with her own natural strength and freezing cursed energy. “You can have your fever for profit, but I’ll take mine and burn Kenjaku’s plan to the ground.”

            The fever… Hakari blinked.

            Hoshi smiled. “She hot enough for you yet?” she asked teasingly.

            “Get down here, you three,” said Hakari to Itadori, Megumi, and Panda. “Let’s cut a deal.”

            (Y/N) perked up. Oh, my speech worked! I’m surprised, it really isn’t my forte.

Megumi sighed as he looked at her bruised and bleeding body. Damn it, (Y/N), why do you always have to get hurt?

l

            “For real? Gojo got sealed?” Hakari was shocked as Itadori finished explaining the situation with Panda (Megumi was wrapping bandages around (Y/N)’s wounds).

            “For real,” said the Jujutsu high students.

            “No way, man!” exclaimed Hoshi, just as surprised.

            Panda looked down and glanced at the first-years. “Oh…and I’m sorry, but the Principal died.”

            (Y/N)’s eyes widened. Principal Yaga is gone…? She had never interacted much with him, but she had respected him. He had been one of the people that accepted her identity as a half-curse without thinking her a monster, after all.

            “Panda-senpai?” said Megumi quietly, looking at him questioningly and pausing in his bandaging, his hands resting on (Y/N)’s arm lightly.

            “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you earlier, but it’s true.” Panda noticed Itadori’s teary gaze and gave a soft smile. “It’s alright, Itadori. It didn’t happen in Shibuya. He died fighting a higher-up later-on.”

            (Y/N) clenched her jaw. They punished him for what was not his fault…Just like they’ll do to all of us if we try to free Gojo. She glanced at Megumi. Part of her was glad he stood at her side; her heart soared knowing he was fighting with her, but another part of her worried for his safety. She didn’t want to lose him.

             “That doesn’t make it okay,” said Itadori sadly. “After all, the Principal was your—!”

            Father. Everyone knew what he was going to say and looked down in mourning for Panda’s, and their own, loss.

            “Even so, it’s alright.” Panda’s eyes were downcast, but a sad smile rested on his face. “But thanks.”

            “Well, if you say so, then there’s not much we can say,” said Hakari, sighing.

            “Yeah,” concurred Hoshi.

            “I haven’t been this bummed out since an arrow stuck Yakul in the butt,” said Hakari.

            What a nice life he must lead, thought all the rest simultaneously.

            “Okay, fine, I’ll help you with the Culling Game. But don’t get the wrong idea. This is more than personal. We’re cutting a deal,” said Hakari. “Understand? After we handle the Culling Game, you guys gotta help me.”

            “There is always a give and take in jujutsu,” murmured (Y/N), thinking back on her deal with Nox.

            Megumi glanced at her and frowned, noticing something was wrong, but didn’t say anything. He trusted her to speak to him when she was ready. He knew, after all, that she had gone through a lot in Shibuya. Megumi would not press her to reveal what until she had processed it herself.

            “You want the jujutsu regulations revised, right?” prompted Panda. “Now that the existence of curses is out, change of that sort is inevitable. What exactly do you want?”

            “Whatever it is, I doubt it’s that difficult,” said Megumi, crossing his arms.

            “Huh? What would you know, Sea-Urchin Head?” scoffed Hakari.

            “I’m the Head of the Zenin Clan,” answered Megumi curtly. Whatever. I might as well take advantage of it. Megumi’s eyes landed on (Y/N) as he realized what he could do with that power. I could help her. I could try to change the laws that make her existence difficult. I could give her a freer life.

            (The next day, the Zenin Clan was annihilated)

            Hakari, stunned, suddenly grinned happily at Megumi. “Sea-Urchin Head!”

            “The name’s Fushiguro.”

            “Okay, Fushiguro!” Sparkles seemed to surround Hakari’s over-the-top smile. “Let’s be buds!”

            “Uh, sure.” Megumi deadpanned with everyone else who easily saw that Hakari was sucking up to him.

            (Again, the next day, the Zenin Clan would be annihilated)

            “Now we just have to decide who goes to which colony. Yuuta’s got Miyagi, right?” asked Panda.

            Itadori stood to respond when a small curse appeared above him and rang like an alarm clock.

            “A player has added a new rule to the Culling Game!” announced what was apparently a kogane. “Rule 9: Players shall have access to information on other players, such as name, points, number of rules added, and current colony!”

            Someone used a hundred points. (Y/N) narrowed her eyes. That means our pools of possible players to get to make a rule to save Tsumiki is smaller.

            And also…

            Why is a kogane here?

so uhh w the story the ppl who r fully alive ( alivers ) r brainwashed by the government to work 15 hours a day , and they arent able to do the things they want , or follow their dreams and stuff ( basically their entire lives are centered around work )

so handead are half alive and half dead ! theres 3 ways to become handead , you can either take a dead injection , be born handead ( all of the heads, leaders of the teams are born handead ) , or get bitten by someone who was born handead. being handead is the only way to combat the ' deadness ' of being fully alive, so to turn more ppl into handead ( to help more ppl find happiness ) a few handead join together to form dead&alive ( daa ). the music comes in as to convince more ppl to join , they hold concerts and lives and convince ppl to join thru their music

so there r currently 6 teams , each from a diff branch ( other than alba and shura dojo ) which r

deva : fukuoka branch , their head ( leader ) is tenjin ko

HIGH-TIDE : okinawa branch , their head is kamara ryu

B.U.H. : hiroshima headquarters , their head is miyoshi rikyo

yona : kochi branch , their head is waziki raiga

alba : part of DAD ( dead and dominate ) in korea , which im pretty sure is just koreas ver of daa ? , their head is han heejun

and shura dojo : the three of them are all ex-daa members ( since they're not offically part of the daa , i dont think they have a head , and all three of them are handead from birth , while 2 members r ex heads )

agh im sorry if this is kinda confusing im not sure how to say stuff :(

Top 5/10 genshin impact characters and ships, please and thank you ;3c ~🐞

dude are you trying to cancel me?? i regret telling you that i was doing this. you suck. i hope you're happy. this is why our marriage is falling apart. anyways—

top 5 characters, playstyle be damned:

bennett (love at first sight. i saw this boy before my sister downloaded the game and i instantly pulled out adoption papers. he can support, he can attacc, but, most importantly, he got your bacc. i would be willing to throw hands over him. he's precious. i screamed when i saw that he was among people taking venti's poem class! bennefischl canon??)

diluc (i love batman and i love batfam and i want that dynamic in my party. he's edgy, he's needlessly extra and cool. i can feel in every cell of my body that he's a sweet and caring guy, but in this very awkward, roundabout way. my friends all know i that show love for my faves by constantly bullying them and diluc is a prime example of that. i also really want him and kaeya to talk things out at some point)

venti (a broke, homeless, gremlin drunkard of a god with a knack for mischief and a love for storytelling? yes please!! i can't help but smile whenever he pops up in the story!! i wish the fandom stopped kinda infantilizing him since he's literally the second oldest character in the game and there's so much more to him than just his venti persona. i could probably write a character dissection or something if i got bored enough)

chongyun (i just think he's neat. look at his blue eyelashes! listen to his voice lines! i just want to squeeze his cheeks and ruffle his hair! he's a party staple purely for the aesthetics and emotional support. my sister calls him "the minecraft child" since he's the only claymore user in her team)

noelle (my beautiful daughter!! criminally underrated!! she's my favourite healer!! i would also throw hands over her. it just sucks that she doesn't have more presence in the story. every time i make her do the spinny thing with her claymore, i can't help but sing beyblade intros)

top 5 ships because my friend hates me:

diluven (i saw fanart of them once and i was sold immidiately! you know what's better than two of my favourite characters? two of my favourite characters but *together*! and their interactions in prologue were super cute and it has a lot of potential! they have a height difference, reincarnation!au angst potential, and i happen to be weak to the dynamic of a tiny gremlin who pesters a tall stoic dude who's secretly fond. they've both suffered loss and both deserve someone to confide in and someone who would care for them, agh i can go about this all day! sucks that so many fans seem to stick to nsfw tho)

dainslumi (preferably when aether is the traveler and lumi is the abyss princess because i love drama. think of the yearning, the betrayal, the angst— think of how good they look standing next to each other and how lumine would probably kiss dains only if she puches him in the sternum first. bonus points since my man dains gives off big simp vibes and we gotta stick together. i hope that we'll learn more about them in the future and that the ship will gain some traction)

kaebedo (i didn't ship this at all at first, but then i read a couple of fanfics that hit all the good spots and now i am unable to deny that they are among my faves. both have mysterious origin tied to khaenri'ah and i'm a fan of khaenria'an royalty!kaeya and homunculus!albedo theories. they would be such a good influence on each other, just think about it for a moment— albedo gets more in touch with humanity, and kaeya finally gets someone to rely on. bonus points if klee wingmans, whether intentionally or not)

zhongven (what's better than months of slowburn buildup? hundreds of years of slowburn buildup, of course! they are the oldest archons, so i like to think that they know and understand each other well regardless of romantic involvement. i especially enjoy lore-heavy fanfics and headcanons about them. there's an abundance of things to explore and ways to interpret them. bonus points if xiao involuntarily gets adopted)

bennefischl (it's one of the first ships i got into before plummeting into the abyss that is multishipping, but i still hold it dear. i like to think that bennett is aware of fischl's uh... vivid imagination and he simply chooses to indulge her. i just love the idea of this goth child who info dumps obscure, sometimes worrisome trivia and a hyperactive puppy who's so lovesick that he just listens without understanding half of it, they're so precious!)

I have 3 ocs

1. My most developed is a girl who is a serpentine human hybrid and can switch between forms. She has the ability of all serpentine but she mostly prefers combat and loves her anacondrai strength. She walked in on a science experiment at the wrong time and her dad who is a scientist was working on serpentine DNA to tell him to watch their fav TV show every night and at that moment there was a spark and an explosion and chemicals covered them. Her dad disappeared and she though lt he was dead but he wasn't he was busy finding a cure. He told her to go to wu since they were friends and he took care if her until the ninja arrived. She loves jokes especially dad jokes and horrible puns and does have some anxiety. She loves the rain and thunderstorms. She is also Jays gf. (I ship jaya but I love my child so much agh)

2. One who was accidentally transported to the first realm and was gifted the powers of a fire and lightning dragon after she saved one but it ended up dying but was grateful anyways. She can turn into a dragon and they are huge almost twice as big as the overlord. She can control fire to a degree kai wishes he could do. She can make shapes control the temperature and make it solid. But if she is sick TAKE HER TO THE OCEAN ASAP OR SHE WILL PUKE LAVA.She also uses her lighting powers to give herself a boost. She is kais gf

3.And finally a girl who is the elemental master of darkness. She was gifted these powers by thr overlord in hopes she will help him or he could possess her. She was a bit too unstable and the overlord underestimated how bad she was mentally unstable. She can change her hair color to black and change her eye color to purple. She also has a dragon form like the overlord but very tiny only about 5'4 and is humanoid. She is coles gf and I will post a pic of her

I love each and every one of them, thank you for this glorious info dump

Okay so it's been a couple weeks but I started school so ive been a little busy... but I just wanted to say that it makes me so happy to see how much you love art because I also really love art!!! I'm gonna go on a little rant here but it makes me kinda upset when people say they don't like art (of any kind) because they don't get it like the point isn't to get it its about how it makes you feel. Like obviously you don't have to like it but idk it bugs me when people say they don't understand art because art is about making you feel something. And sure there are pieces that were made just to show off and yes there's an abundance of art that Is saying something in particular, but the main job of art is to get you to feel and see the world in a new way and if it does that then that's all you need to understand. Rant over. Anyway I hope you've been well!! Have you read anything interesting lately? I'm reading this book for my French class about a woman who turns into a pig and I like it more than I thought I would! It's really weird but also really interesting! The language is kinda hard, though, I have to look up at least one word per sentence 🥲 it's okay though cause im growing my vocab! I hope you've had a wonderful day/night and that tomorrow is even better <3- 💕

Hey 💕💕💕,,, I completely agree !!! (more under the cut sorry I apparently had a lot to say..)

It makes me a little sad to hear people say that,,, but also everyone I know who says that doesn’t have something artistic that they like to do — like I think if I didn’t have artistic hobbies I probably wouldn’t care for it,,, like I always feel so connected to artsy people even when they create in a different way than I do idk ? It’s so dope how like the only person who knows the true intention behind the work is the one who made it, and like how a hundred people could look at the same painting and all come up with a different interpretation for it ,,, and like .. sometimes, a still life painting of a bowl of oranges is just a still life painting of a bowl of oranges but so many different people can see it in so many different ways !!! Idk if any of that makes sense I’ve had such a long and weird day 👎

I was on a kinda long train ride and I read Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood, and even though I enjoyed most of it,,, I’m probably going to stray away from books where the relationship is enemies to lovers because I feel like it’s so formulaic, in terms of like .. stripping the relationship to the barest of bones (person a likes person b, person a freezes every time they see person b,,, b goes on with life assuming a hates them so is mean back, a explains feelings etc) they’re all (that I’ve read,,, which tbf is like 5 maybe(?)) the same and it’s makes the romance less exciting — I will admit though that I understand that romance isn’t necessarily the main reason that the book exists and the actual plot surrounding the relationship was interesting and I liked it but I just love romance and want to see an exciting relationship alongside the plot ,,, sry that this is so long and literally just a useless like info dump ???

I’ve also gotten into reading poetry lately and I think it’s so cool and fun and just really interesting and I love it !!!

Is the book called Penelope? Or the character called Penelope? It kinda sounds like the movie (maybe I don’t think I’ve seen it…) and agh that’s so good though !!! Language learning is so so so much fun (even though I never stick to it) and I bet it feels so good when you find a sentence you can understand omds ,,, go 💕💕💕 I’m really happy for u and proud of u <333 if u read anything else interesting (or even something that you don’t like) be sure to let me know !!!

Thank u sm for ur well wishes, I appreciate and am wishing the same for you, sweet 💕 !!!

SPN 01X01: “Pilot”

I’‘“cI personally believe (and know) that I have a bit of an issue with not knowing how much to share about myself, but I figured I’d tell y’all a bit about my history with the SPN Rewatch experience.

I actually participated in last year’s SPN Rewatch and had a lot of fun with it! I had originally wanted to liveblog it on here but chickened out at the last moment and ended up liveblogging it (so to speak) in my journals. When Hurricane Harvey hit, the Rewatch was the thing that kept me going and gave me a sense of stability.

I’m more than happy and excited to be doing this all over again, with the added bonus of liveblogging here on my blog! I’ve got a good chunk of time on my hands and I figured it would be good character development for me to do this publicly, so without further ado, here is my liveblogging of S1EP1 “Pilot”.

Lawrence, Kansas. 22 years ago. 

“Come on, let’s say good night to your brother.” Mary’s first words on the show.

“’Night, Sam.” Dean’s first words.

“Hey Dean.” John’s first words.

They seemed like such a normal, happy, loving family. *cries*

I think the show does a great job of setting up Mary as a regular housewife and the Winchesters as an ordinary family; it made me believe at very first viewing that what happened to them next was just an unfortunate stroke of luck, as opposed to something that was in the works and destined for them for years, hell, decades.

(I’m noticing old, vintage wedding photos. Are they the wedding photos of John and Mary’s parents?)

“Sammy? Sammy!” Mary’s last words.

And there’s the scream of horror.

Oh, jesus christ. Nothing prepared me for that death and even now my stomach turns seeing Mary on the ceiling like that. RIP Mary Winchester.

“Take your brother outside as fast as you can and don’t look back! Now Dean, go!”

(Little baby Sammy was so cute.)

Our first (silent) title card!

Enter Jess. “Sam! get a move on! We were supposed to be there like 15 minutes ago. Are you coming or what?”

I don’t know the exact details of the night Sam left for Stanford (besides the blow out fight between Sam and John) but at some point Sam packed the photo of his parents and he has it out on display in his apartment. That’s incredibly sweet.

THERE’S OUR SAMMY! 

Proud girlfriend Jess leads a toast to Sam and his LSAT score. (174!)

There’s a notable concern in Jess’ eyes when Sam tells them that his family doesn’t know about his stunning achievement. Did she ever ask about Sam’s family or did she ever plan to ask about them?? She seems like the type to let things go if someone asked her to, but eventually it had to be worrying her...like here.

“I’m proud of you. And you’re gonna knock ‘em dead on Monday and you’re gonna get that full ride. I know it.”

“What would I do without you?”

“Crash and burn.”

*screams in foreshadowing*

Jess was such a good and supportive girlfriend. Sensing that Sam didn’t have a good upbringing/home life, she really goes the extra mile to show her support for him, which I’m sure Sam deeply appreciated.

And there's my beloved Dean!

AWWW THOSE BABY VOICES.

Ah so, Jess knew Sam had a brother.

LMAO @ Sam for pulling the “Whatever you have to say to me, you can say it in front of her” card.

THEN he tries to fucking be a smartass when Dean tries to put it delicately. (”Dad hasn’t been home in a couple of days.”)

And finally, there’s the backfiring on Sam’s part when Dean says the now famous (and later paralleled) line:

I can see the Lucifer/Michael parallels as early as right here: Sam, rebellious and angry at the absent father vs Dean, dutiful and loyal to the absent father.

“You think mom would have wanted this for us?”

No, Sammy, she did not.

“I can’t do this alone.”

“Yeah, you can.”

“Yeah...well i don’t want to.”

Still true to this day.

The Impala’s arsenal! Still so awesome.

“Dad let you go on a hunting trip by yourself?”

On first viewing, I immediately thought, “Dude, he looks old enough to be on his own” just as Dean said:

“I’m 26, dude.”

and that’s the exact moment I claimed him as my favorite.

Wow, 3 weeks? No wonder Dean was worried.

WHOA how did Sam have THAT KIND OF BLADE WITH HIM??

“Hey, everything’s gonna be ok. I promise.” Sam’s last words to Jess. Oh jesus, why.

I got fucking jumpscared by the show, goddamn it.

Welp, RIP Troy. I’d feel worse for him if he hadn’t tried to cheat on his girlfriend.

Real rich of Sam ragging on Dean about the credit card scams, when about 9 years later (S10) he offers to teach Claire about the very same thing. That’s A+ character development coming up.

“Driver picks the music, shotgun shuts his cakehole.”  

(I think this is Dean’s first “Sammy” of the show, no?)

agH Netflix still hasn’t got the right music for this season. No AC/DC for me here. :(

I love seeing Sam’s ~shocked~ face at all the fake ids. What an innocent baby.

Posing as federal Marshals.

“You two are a little young for marshals, aren’t you?”

“Thanks, that’s awfully kind of you.”

LMAOO. I wish I can brush shit off like that. #goals.

That accurate display of sibling culture: 

Now posing as Troy’s uncles. (Really? Uncles?)

Sam and Dean: “What do they talk about?” (That synch up!!!)

The first scene Jensen and Jared filmed together: the library research scene. :’)

1981. Constance Welch, 24 y.o, jumps off a bridge. An hour before the suicide she called 911 to report that her kids were dead in the bathtub. “Our babies were gone, and Constance just couldn't bear it," said husband Joseph Welch.”

At the crime scene. A bro fight is a-brewin’.

“Even if we do find the thing that killed her, Mom's gone. And she isn't coming back.”

Them’s fightin’ words!

Wait about 11 years on that, Sam.

Dean is loyal to both absent parents.

And Sam didn’t even apologize for that! Dude, wth. (Tho Dean didn’t apologize for slamming him into the bridge, so I guess its even.)

There’s Constance.

“Who’s driving your car?”

*Dean holds up car keys*

lmao.

How fucking athletic of Sam to hold onto the side of the bridge, hot damn.

Then there’s poor Dean covered in mud.

“That Constance chick, what a BITCH.”

“You smell like a toilet.”

Sam picking his first lock on the show.

Just noticed that John had an area on the wall dedicated to “Deals and Demons”. ohohoho, hoo boy.

Monster of the Episode: Woman in white (Constance Welch.)

Oh there we go, Sam’s apologizing for what he said on the bridge.

“Hey, no chick flick moments.”

“All right, jerk.”

“Bitch.”

John had a photo of him and the boys. :’)

Oh, Sam’s listening to a voicemail left by Jess.

Welp, cops. 

“So come home soon, okay? I love you.” Jess’ last words to Sam.

“So. Fake US Marshal. Fake credit cards. You got anything that's real?”

“My boobs.”

I fucking love S1!Dean. What a babe.

Dean, er, “Ted Nugent” is in “real trouble” here.

John’s journal. Unceremoniously dumped on the table in front of Dean.

“DEAN 35-111″

Joseph Welch.

Sam, now posing as a reporter.

Sam taking a plunge and telling Joseph about the Woman in White. 

Welp, he got kicked out but he got the info he needed.

Out goes Dean, courtesy of Sam’s fake 911 call as a distraction.

“I’m taking you home.” OOOHHHH THAT ONE LINER THOO

Aaand he drives the Impala into the house. 

Creepy ghost children. 

Oh good lord. RIP Constance Welch, again and permanently.

They are the absolute cutest :)

Blackwater Ridge, Colorado.

Aww Dean. He got so used to having Sam around. :(

“I’ll take you home.”  Makes me sad that S1!Sam’s “home” was a place without Dean and Dean knew it.

“You know, we made a hell of a team back there.”

Dean’s goodbye, because actually saying “goodbye” would hurt too much. (Or maybe he was trying to plant the seed of “come hunting with me” in Sam’s mind...)

Sam enters his apartment...goes into his bedroom (eating something too, maybe the cookies Jess was baking?)

And there it is. RIP Jessica Moore, died the exact same day and way that Mary died.

Ugh god, that instance when Dean looks up and sees Jess on the ceiling. That one tiny moment of shock, horror, and realization that that’s how his mother died too. Jesus, Jensen’s a good actor.

And then it’s straight to saving Sam.

One brother pulling the other brother away from his lover to save his life, at the cost of leaving the brother’s loved one behind. Totally won’t be repeated later on in the series...

Dean doesn’t even know what to say to Sam. I don’t blame him.

OOHHHH!!!!!!

And that’s the Pilot. One of my favorite Pilots of any of the tv shows that I watch, and a pretty good episode for Supernatural. I love revisiting the baby faces and voices of the brothers, and I love pointing out all the things that are gonna change for the brothers in upcoming seasons (from Sam’s disdain of credit card scams to Mary “not coming back”).  Overall, an A+ episode for me.

10x10: The Hunter Games

Welcome to our last Wayward episode before Thursday’s Wayward Sisters! I can hardly wait. Until Thursday, enjoy the recap!

Crowley wanders confused -and frightened- down the halls of his domain. Suddenly other demons appear, ready to attack. He fights back, but ultimately is overcome with stabby-stabs, and he sparks out. (Agh, I forgot we’ve seen him spark out before!) But this was just a dream! Rowena wakes him from the nightmare. She’s really hamming up the nurturing mother bit, aye? She’s Rowena though, and after Crowley walks away from his throne, she removes a hex bag and smiles with disgust behind her son’s back. (Natasha: and can I just say? How fascinating it is that Crowley dreams. Even if it’s magic-induced, that’s surely some human-adjacent behavior. The fact that he takes this vision in stride makes me wonder if he’s dreaming regularly. Oh, Crowley.)

Dean continues to have flashbacks to his very murderous ways. Cas and Sam discuss Claire. Cas is clueless about how to help her. They touch on Randy’s less than deserved fate (but kinda deserved...in a “this is a tv show and he was an evil child predator” kind of way). Dean interrupts Sam’s reflections. “There was a time I was a hunter, not a stone cold killer.” He wants the Mark of Cain gone. They’re all just as clueless as ever about how to do that though. They’re dealing with a pre-biblical curse. Cas gets to utter the motto for Team Free Will: “There may be another way.”

Back at Casa Crowley, Rowena continues to be her lovely self, snooping through her son’s things. The demon Guthrie catches her, and she tries her wiles on him to no avail. Crowley interrupts them for advice from Guthrie. Crowley knows what Rowena is up to though, but it doesn’t stop her from trying to work her magic.

We get some background story for our favorite witch. Ah, Bucklemming, always ready and able for the info dumping.

Cas paces, restless and anxious, at the gates of Heaven. It seems that Cas asked for help with the angels --they brought him Metatron. He’s brought back to the bunker for a fun interrogation on how to remove the Mark of Cain. Metatron is surprised Dean is alive (OH YEAH, GRR, METATRON) and is kind of incredulous that he’s not even a demon. He’s pretty happy to piece together that Dean’s “gone nuclear” though. Sam stands over him, defiant and demanding answers. Dean makes his dramatic appearance.

At the Astoria hotel, Cas walks into a room where Claire is hurriedly packing. She was hoping to be gone by the time he returned. (HOLD. Where is this hotel? Why isn’t she at the bunker? Cas had to have been gone DAYS --why’d it take so long for her to pack? RESUME.)

Claire’s having a hard time reconciling Cas with the face of her father. Cas doesn’t feel guilty, but he’s responsible for Claire. Claire tells him that he took away her father, and Dean took away the only other person that’s cared about her in her life. “Dean Winchester is a monster.” Cas, forgiving as ever, responds, “It’s possible there is a little monster in all of us.” Claire can’t believe he would defend Dean, and walks out.

Back at the bunker, Metatron’s chained up, completely at the mercy of two brothers with anger management issues, and still manages to be his most irritating self.

He tells the brothers that they’re going to need the First Blade again. And then I paused my screen. I thought I’d take a screenshot for posterity:

Sam and Dean argue through the halls of the bunker about how dangerous or necessary the blade really is. Sam is anti-Blade while Dean is pro-Blade (or maybe it’s the Mark telling him he wants it.)

Crowley and Rowena continue to share barbs when Crowley gets a call from Dean. Dean: “Crowley, we need to meet ASAP.” Crowley, instantly: ”Where?” Rowena watches as her son gets a call from his ex and eagerly jumps off to be with him. With Crowley gone, Rowena continues with her nefarious schemes.

Underage Claire Novak shoots some pool and breaks down her messy domestic life to a couple bar friends. They tell her she can hang with them for a bit.

The Winchesters tell Crowley they need him to bring back the First Blade.

Rowena does a little arts and crafts and magically eavesdrops in on her son’s conversation (“I thought you’d wanna go for a beer, catch a film.”) She now seemingly knows the location of the Blade. She puts Guthrie to the task.  

Back at the bunker Cas bursts in and doesn’t even wait to head downstairs before complaining about the Winchester’s new buffoonery with their latest plan regarding the first blade. Dean protests that he has no choice.

Cas reveals that Claire has taken off on her own and - bless your sweet angel face Cas - he’s decided to convince Dean to talk to Claire as one extremely messed up human to another. “You can explain why you killed her only friend” and...ba-da-bing ba-da-boom best friends. Cas bby. Still not quite understanding basic human interaction, eh? Dean accedes to his request and Cas doofs off (that’s a phrase right?) about how fun texting is while Dean leaves the room. Once Dean is gone, Cas turns back to Sam. “He seems calm,” he observes, considering that Metatron is hanging around.

Down in a crypt in...Guam, perhaps...Crowley opens up a Macleod coffin revealing his skeleton and a wooden chest. He opens the chest to reveal….nothing. The first blade is gone. (I’m always troubled by this scene because even if his bones weren’t “in Guam” this still means that Guthrie knows where Crowley’s skeleton is located. Given what we know about burning a demon’s bones, that means that Crowley has given an awful lot of power to Guthrie. Maybe his bones are bespelled and can’t be removed? Maybe that’s a decoy skeleton in the Macleod coffin? UGH if he died poor then why does he even have a fancy crypt with a Macleod-emblazoned coffin? This makes no sense but….whatever. Fine. Moving on.)

In Hell’s throne room Rowena is trying out the throne when Guthrie returns with the blade. Rowena thanks him by knifing him with an angel bade. Crowley walks in on this scene and Rowena’s attitude does a 180, affecting a desperate and fearful air. She was only trying to defend Crowley’s kingdom from the likes of scheming Guthrie!

Claire’s hanging out with her new super best friends who are relaying stories of getting caught squatting in other people’s houses. Claire gets a voicemail from Dean and her new serial murdering friends grin at each other. They make an offer to Claire to “permanently” deal with Dean.

Dean, meanwhile, gets the news from Crowley that the first blade has been acquired so Dean abandons his sandwich (HIS SANDWICH) and heads down to talk to Metatron. Metatron taunts him, which is a very healthy instinct. In response, Dean closes and locks the interrogation room door so he and Metatron can have a nice civilized chat.

Well. Let the torture begin. Metatron riles Dean up, reminding him of all the people he’s gotten hurt or killed. When Dean throws the first punch Metatron tells him to go darker. Deeper. He pushes Dean into a dark Mark of Cain spiral.

Back upstairs, Cas announces that he’s going to try to find Claire. They head past the kitchen only to find it abandoned. Uh oh. They race down to the interrogation room. Cas busts down the door as Metatron chokes out that the “river shall end at the source.”

Excuse me while I fan myself a little bit…

Sam pulls Dean back from his attack before he has a chance to kill Metatron. Cas brings Metatron back to Heaven. Oops...he was supposed to return him intact.

After Cas and Metatron leave Dean puzzles over Metatron’s clue. They’ve got no idea what it means but Sam throws another idea at Dean. Cas said a powerful force can overcome the Mark. “The Mark is strong, but Dean… Maybe there’s a part of you that wants to give in to it. And maybe you have to fight that, you know? Maybe part of that powerful force has to be you.” With that moral imparted, Dean gets a phone call from Claire. She wants to meet.

The next morning Dean pulls up outside of that skeevy trailer. Her new friends approach with a bat and an ax while Claire hides in the trailer. Claire loses her nerve at the last minute and runs out of the trailer to warn Dean. Dean fights off the two attackers, hoists the ax in the air...and Claire begs him to stop. Thankfully, he does - he’s not that far gone yet. Dean takes off and hopefully Claire does quickly because DUDE those people are dangerous.

Cut to Claire who has not been murdered and is now walking along a two lane road. Cas pulls up alongside her. He reveals that he can track longing....fueling fanfiction like WHOA. His power to track prayer is so shaky in this show, guys.

Claire tells Cas she’s got to go on her own and Cas lets her go (after she tells him that she liked him better with a tie.) Aw, she cares! Cas leaves, because he cares too. The last scene is Claire walking on her own in Cas’s rearview mirror.

Serial Quoters:

Anyway, it was no environment for a child!

Lovely room. It’s where you bring the kinky chicks, am I right?

It’s possible there’s a little monster in all of us.

I like texting. Emoticons.

But I’m your dickwad.
