#ANYWAYS I HOPE THESE ARE OK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[gumjester]

What are your headcanons about Chase and Lizzie?

THIS HAS BEEN IN MY INBOX SOOOOOOOOOO LONG AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

OK SO. originally i was gonna be like oooooo thats spoilers ahaha 😋 cant tell youuuuu but at this point!!!!!! everything i say is spoilers for my rewrite because ive just taken every single headcanon ive ever had in me LIFE and jammed it into the margins of this story so !!!!!! WHO GIVE A SHIT. FREE INFO ON THE WONDERLAND ARC HERE YOU GO!! GOD KNOWS ITS GOING TO TAKE US LONG ENOUGH TO GET THERE ANYWAY

i always thought that, being royalties of wonderland (that of the redford and hearts families, more on that here!) lizzie and chase would have known each other as children, meeting at some tea summit or another and forming an instant, unbreakable bond as small children in close promixity to each other instantly tend to do. i think i described their childhood friendship a while ago as 'a nine yr old being dragged around a dinner party by another, much more violent nine year old' and that is essentially the beginning and end of it.

lizzie, being headstrong and insistent since birth, immediately adopted meek, quiet chase as her Best Friend Given The Circumstances, possibly (definitely) because he would just agree with everything she said and hold things steady while she cut them in half. over the years, they grew up together and lizzie cemented herself as chase's primary protector, mostly from the red queen, who lizzie would have no problem screaming at to GET OUT if she tried to interrupt their games or berate chase at tea summits, which chase did (and continues to) struggle to do himself.

in turn, chase had always been far more cool-headed than lizzie, and his conversation proved grounding throughout the many rages and episodes lizzie grew up enduring.

their friendship is very specific to the circumstances they grew up in but that serves only to make it stronger!! lizzie did not have many other people in her life who could relate to growing up royalty, and chase had essentially no other people, so they really #get each other which makes what is going to happen in the wonderland arc that much fucking worse! hope this helps!

FUCKING HELL THE APP HAS BEEN GLITCHY FOR THE PAST 3 DAYS BUT I FINALLY MADE IT HERE

God, the news about Moonbin really punched me in the gut, I can't believe this... 💔😢😢😢😢 I wasn't a huge Astro fan, but I liked them, I was sad when Rocky left and now this... so heartbreaking. I went through a few situations like that in kpop, but it's always absolutely devastating. I went to his memorial yesterday 💔

Sorry if I don't reply to everything, I'm on the train half awake </3

What's up in the Baeksussy land? 👀 should I ask about your Yunho fic? 😅

Sjajhajshahagaha "RM only played well, because our players were injured" lmao of course you had to say that 😆. what n*zis?! 😭 the history of Catalonia and Spain is extremely vile and complicated and tbh I don't know every detail, but what is this bullshit, I had no idea until you told me.

Honestly football isn't that serious, why are they doing this :/

I think Leclerc got a ricochet because of the Ferrari team, idk if he had a scandal or whatever, I think I remember seeing something or maybe it wasn't him lol, but lots of people don't support him I noticed that. Hope the Lewis movie will be decent

Ofc Seonghwa is hot and pretty regardless, but he's even hotter with long hair, the baldness is ok if I can only see one side of his head 😭 but I'm glad to see there are more and more undercut dislikers, I know we're so brave for it, because Seonghwa loves his hedgehog head, but sorry 💔 at least dye your hair if you wanna be bald. And mushroom Hwa, sigh, why must I suffer so much :( everyone who saw blonde Seonghwa i'm at your door 💀💀💀💀 can't believe I missed it. His hair better grow at least 5cm before May.

Stop don't talk about Dozen cause I legit saw ads for him??? But seriously, can that bitch ass idiot Chris Lee make an announcement about him. SuperM isn't happening anytime soon I think, but I need him away from WayV. No Taeyong, no Taeyeon, no Seulgi. I lost by not going to the Dojaejung premiere

YY is quite shy actually, shameless but shy lol. Ten, Kun and Xiaojun looked at us up close when they were passing by and I just 🧍🏽‍♀️anyways I'm seeing them twice next week, but before that I'm going to see Atz though my seat isn't the best and I'll be separated from my friends, so that's not great lol

I won't survive wet Hwa. Kinda glad I won't be in Japan then. But they could go to Waterbomb Korea instead 🙄

I bought some NCT dolls, got a lot of pcs, and 2 shirts. Each member had their lil corner, it was a pretty cute set up. Another money grab from SM, but an adorable one. Aaaaaand I went to the Teezmon pop up and it was carnage out there, almost had to fight for Winklemon! I don't have time to queue on different days, so I sacrificed myself, it was worth it cause LOOK AT HIM, LOOK AT BOTH OF THEM https://twitter.com/nobodylikehwa/status/1649318208069836805?t=TLUM-4UlbakB3A6Pty4TBA&s=19

But seeing the setlist for that festival I'm glad I chose Taemin over it ajsjjababshajwjsjs don't they have other songs, it was literally LOVEsome festival but they had to perform SMN and The Real for the millionth time, I sleep 💤

Hope to never see them again <3 - DV 💖

hello!!!

FUCKING HELL THE APP HAS BEEN GLITCHY FOR THE PAST 3 DAYS BUT I FINALLY MADE IT HERE

IT LITERALLY HAS BEEN THE FUCKING UPDATES AND EVERYTHING COULD NOT EVEN SEE THE TEXT BC OF IT GNWMFJWK ANYWAY HOW ARE U

God, the news about Moonbin really punched me in the gut, I can't believe this... 💔😢😢😢😢 I wasn't a huge Astro fan, but I liked them, I was sad when Rocky left and now this... so heartbreaking. I went through a few situations like that in kpop, but it's always absolutely devastating. I went to his memorial yesterday 💔

it really did no 😭😭 i was a moderate fan esp after always you era… after san dropped his cover and then, it all kind of repeated almost,,,, i still do not believe it honestly, like just like that???? how come??? it’s unreal to me,, it really is always, always devastating and leaves such a mark man,, it really is heartbreaking 😭😭😭 you did?? did u perhaps see the shawol who left candies there,, on the letter she wrote if moonbin met jonghyun and if they both talked and if they are travelling and that they should stick by each other’s side 😭😭😭 hoping his sister is doing well i can’t believe how much pain she’s going thru, gone too young

Sorry if I don't reply to everything, I'm on the train half awake </3 /// What's up in the Baeksussy land? 👀 should I ask about your Yunho fic? 😅

no worries! baeksussy land has been watching older romcoms! rn as im writing this im watching monster in law 😭😭 …yunho,, yeah i VFKWHDKWJDKWBDK see i was writing it and i was gonna continue onto the nsfw area and then the news came and it just doesn’t feel right to write anything atm so i have it on hold!

Sjajhajshahagaha "RM only played well, because our players were injured" lmao of course you had to say that 😆. what n*zis?! 😭 the history of Catalonia and Spain is extremely vile and complicated and tbh I don't know every detail, but what is this bullshit, I had no idea until you told me. /// Honestly football isn't that serious, why are they doing this :/

LMFAOOOO ITS TRUE HEY PEDRI WAS OUT, DEMBELE IDK IF HE HAS LEGS ATP, DE JONG WAS OUT ????? rm karma 🤚🏻benz kroos and modric next season last season <///3 yEAAAH UHUH THEY DID THAT.

now…..man city v arsenal 😶😶😶 how are u holding up anon

I think Leclerc got a ricochet because of the Ferrari team, idk if he had a scandal or whatever, I think I remember seeing something or maybe it wasn't him lol, but lots of people don't support him I noticed that. Hope the Lewis movie will be decent

i think his only scandal is the one where he didn’t kneel for the blm thing, idk much about it but twt f1 stan’s blew it up and the media were trying to frame him as a racist for not kneeling and it got pretty bad bc it became a topic about who was kneeling and who isn’t instead of the actual discussion, was super messy all around !!! other than that i think ppl mostly just pity him bc his prime years are being wasted at ferarri,,, mostly everyone likes him bc he’s quite consistent w driving and is down to earth at his ripe age, max is quite disliked 1. bc of his dad, 2. bc of him on the track 3. anger issues. the bigger scandal was with mazepin who apparently was involved w putin somehow??? he’s the one EVERYONE hates, no question, it created a big BIG scandal, he was annoying on track anyways so deserved but he’s really disliked universally 🔫 hope so too!! much needed f1 movie finally!!!

Ofc Seonghwa is hot and pretty regardless, but he's even hotter with long hair, the baldness is ok if I can only see one side of his head 😭 but I'm glad to see there are more and more undercut dislikers, I know we're so brave for it, because Seonghwa loves his hedgehog head, but sorry 💔 at least dye your hair if you wanna be bald. And mushroom Hwa, sigh, why must I suffer so much :( everyone who saw blonde Seonghwa i'm at your door 💀💀💀💀 can't believe I missed it. His hair better grow at least 5cm before May.

SuperM isn't happening anytime soon I think, but I need him away from WayV. No Taeyong, no Taeyeon, no Seulgi. I lost by not going to the Dojaejung premiere

NO WAY???? THERES ADS FOR THAT MAN??? 🤨 u know even if those allegations were fake, im never forgetting what he did to baek 🔫🔫 dO not care that was actually so painful to watch, forever a dozen for ever a 12,,, CHRIS LEE NEED TO LEAVE AND TAKE THAT 12 W HIM !!!!!!!! he contributed nothing in terms of voice to superm or wayv, really, most of it was carried by the other members repeatedly ???

WE WON ANON WE WON TOTALLY SPIES REBOOTTT

[cloudydoodle-moved]

Hihi Rhea!! I hope you dont mind if I ask something buttt, could you recommend me some short animes :Dc I been REALLY wanting to watch something short so. If you don't have any ideas, it's okay!! (Btw your art makes me so happy didixkkd ❤❤❤)

HI KENDALL!!!!!!! and totally! and aaaaaaaa im so glad my art makes you happy ;o; that makes ME happy to hear!!!!!! + i just realized that i haven’t rbed any of your art (which is CRIMINAL) but it’s very cute and i love seeing it!!!!!!

ALSO I’M SO SORRY THIS TOOK ME SO LONG TO ANSWER AHAHAHAHAAA OOPS;;;;;;;;; ;o;

anyways. under the cut :] with wikipedia/other sites summaries bc i have no energy left ;; also i haven’t watched a couple of these fully but TRUST ME they’re GOOD ....

Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!

[comedy, slice of life, adventure (kinda)]

Midori Asakusa wants to create an anime, but she's too disheartened to make that first step by herself. By pure chance, she meets Tsubame Mizusaki, an up-and-coming socialite secretly dreaming of becoming an animator. Together with Midori's money-loving best friend Sayaka Kanamori, the energetic trio start the "Eizouken [Motion Picture]" club and slowly work towards making their "greatest world" a reality.

You’ve probably seen the poses in that gif before! It’s from Eizouken’s OP, Easy Breezy, which absolutely SLAPS. Anyways, this show is SUPER fun!!!! It’s got wonderful characters and designs and music, too! The character designs are so refreshing and recognizable!! They’re unlike your typical cutesy, big-eyed anime girl with high pitched voices, and I think that’s a nice change of pace. It’s a great show!!

Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day

[slice of life, supernatural, drama]

Jinta Yadomi and his group of childhood friends have become estranged after a tragic accident split them apart. Now in their high school years, a sudden surprise forces each of them to confront their guilt over what happened that day and come to terms with the ghosts of their past.

or:  Five childhood companions reunite when the ghost of their dead friends appears, and demands they grant her final wish.

It’s been a WHILE since I’ve watched this, so I’m sorry if this review is short, but god, I remember SOBBING when I finished it. The characters are all good and distinct, and some moments just pull at your heartstrings in the best way. If you feel like you need a good cry, watch Anohana!

Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun

[romance, comedy]

Chiyo Sakura confesses her feelings to her schoolmate Nozaki. Due to a misunderstanding, Nozaki thinks Chiyo is just a fan. She then discovers Nozaki's other identity; a shōjo manga artist. As she gets closer to Nozaki, she befriends Nozaki's quirky acquaintances who assist him and serve as inspirations for his manga.

Ok, technically I only started watching a biiiit of show today + have seen some funny clips from it, but TRUST ME it’s pretty great!! The characters are all fun and wonderful to watch, and the clips I’ve seen made me laugh, like, a lot. If you need a nice, short comedy, then Nozaki-kun’s your show.

Death Parade

[psychological thriller, mystery, drama]

There is a place after death that's neither heaven nor hell. A bar that serves you one chance to win. You cannot leave until the game is over, and when it is, your life may be too.

I haven’t watched this in a while either, but god, it’s SO GOOD. It’s underrated as hell, and it got me REALLY emotional. The OP absolutely slaps, and while being cheerful and fun, that’s...probably the complete opposite of what the anime actually is lol. It really makes you think about morality and humanity iirc! And the characters are great, too! It’s a wild ride, and I’d recommend it to anyone who can handle this sorta stuff.

good animes that have 12~ish episodes for their first seasons: Mob Psycho 100, Little Witch Academia, Kaguya-sama: Love is War

animes that i’ve heard are good but haven’t actually watched: My Life as a Villainness: All Routes Lead to Doom!, Sweetness and Lightning

[bluelric]

Ok so today is January 24th, wich means that exactly one year ago i started watching tpn and then reading it and before everything the first thing i want to say is that one of the things that makes me more happy about tpn is the people in this fandom and specifically two persons that i love very much

@just-like-playing-tag and @vidaflxwer

I love and care about you two so much

Claire you’re basically the first one I really talked to on tumblr and i love your blog so much it always makes me happy to see it and i even have the notifications on to when you post. Also, i love your edits, they are very good, more than good, super great. I wish we talked more because every time we do talk it makes me so happy, even if i take a little long to answer know that always that a notification shows a message from you a smile appears in my face. Also, you were the first ask i ever got! I never thought anyone would be interested about what i think so it really made my day when you sent that ask. And seriously i love our talks.

Mei, we still don’t talk very much but i love your blog and you, i love how you’re so kind and caring so even if we had only a few conversations I already feel like we’re good friends and I really want to be your friend. Also, well, I don’t read your fics but that’s only because i don’t really like to read fanfics (specifically in english). But i will support you and try to convince you otherwise if one day you think about giving up writing because I’m sure you’re a great writer and i wanna see you always writing specially if it is what makes you happy.

And to both of you: your tags. I love your tags and I usually always read it. I only don’t when I’m in a hurry or I’m tired. And sometimes i wish i could write tags as good as yours, I’m usually too tired to think about good tags when reblogging

Well, I’m not really good with words but i want you two to know that i love and deeply care about both of you. I’ll get worried if you are feeling bad or having a bad week and will get happy if you’re having a great day even if my day wasn’t really good

I guess I’ll end here, I’m usually too afraid about making text posts here but it’s a thing that i want to work on and I’m starting with this blue’s tpn anniversary posts so give me courage to actually post the things i want to post instead of giving up

[funny-house]

What do you think happens during the aggressive sequence when opal’s mom was singing her song?

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa I have technically answered this before!! but since it was always always always attached to another post or rushed and summarized blah!! I will make this post

The Official

Opal Wine Mom Flashback Analysis  tw: spousal abuse, drug use, etc 

ok

insert that Always Sunny meme of the disheveled guy at the cork board cause we are going in---

First things first!! Flat answer, then explanation so the answer is: The mom was having memory flashbacks to events within the house, one if not all of them, depicting her being physically abused by her husband, mirror man! A lot of people find that shocking to hear at first, but let me explain I got a lotta proof !!!

Let’s start from literally the tippy top The sequence starts by zooming into the mom’s eye. This represents that whatever is taking place in this flashy sequence is all about her, what she’s been through, and what she’s seen. It’s her perspective. That, combined with how it seems to paralyze her while she’s going through it and her eyes roll to the back of her head until it ends, implies it’s something she’s trying to force away or doesn’t want to think about!

So frame by frame analysis, this is film theory now!!  first mental image: A windowpane at night that resembles jail bars. ( maybe the one seen on the bottom floor of the house in outside shots? ) A parallel to Claire’s window and a symbol for her feeling of being trapped-- something she brings up multiple times in her dialogue. She’s stuck here. She doesn’t want to be here but something is holding her by force and she feels helpless to escape it.  

Next scene! Hard cut to rapidly trying to call on the phone. They type 9-1-1. The music starts to fade into screaming.  Next scene! The mother’s head is in the far corner and the window is seen behind her, a reminder that she feels trapped, as she is literally seen being slapped in the back of the head by a hand. Next scene! A shot of their bedroom(whatever room she’s in!) door as her face melts across the screen Next scene! The mother screaming in a way that flaps her mouth in crazy waves and reveals her teeth and gums exactly like how Claire yells near the end Next scene! She’s shown laying down with pills dancing over her head. Next scene! her face melting below a distortion of multiple shots of her room’s door  Next scene! A whole bunch of stuff in rapid fire!! An array of eyeballs and slapping palms and her face distorting and pills and something being thrown and shattering overlayed on her face and then a zoom out from the prison bar-like windows and more screaming bleh Starting to form a picture here, right? Somebody has been very badly abusing this chic. Bad enough that she’s called the police... probably for a domestic dispute, I bet. You can even see a very nasty wound/bruise on her head, just like she’s depicted being most often hit in her flashback!! On the face!!

And in higher quality than this little picture i resize so it doesn’t take up the screen lol, you can pretty clearly see reddening and discoloring-- that’s not just another dent in her weird shaped head, she’s been hit! No other character has visible wounds on their design like that, not even Claire. So why do I assume it’s Mirror Man?  Well first, this world exists on a little set yknow they make a point of zooming out and showing as much, all their world is that house and that billboard. If someone not in that house was damaging her, they’d have to establish their existence or this would be.... a weird artistic choice tbh? The visual equivalent of randomly changing the subject lmao So it’s gotta be the dad or the grandpa heck-- it might be both, but I think it’s more likely the grandpa is a passively unpleasant company to her. He’s probably very mean and unstable- like he is to Claire, and-- honestly, for reasons i mentioned in a different post-- probably not even her grandpa but someone she was saddled with--  BUT he’s not the person in power. It’s just not likely she’d be afraid for her life enough to call the police on a badly disabled grandpa who can barely move without falling. Above all? He couldn’t be the one holding her hostage in a loveless marriage. 

LET’S jump to the very very start of the short! Every character has a montage of items that represent their problems as people. Mirror Man is obsessed with self image and is shown frustratedly throwing a tissue at a fashion magazine of a ridiculously exaggerated man’s face, the grandpa is shown putting out a cigarette but he’s missing his cigarette holder and just dabbing it on a TV program list, which is reckless and dangerous and shows a little disdain for TV itself. The mom? She knocks her wine..... onto a romance novel. A novel Jack Stauber deliberately drew the cover of himself about loving a serial killer that depicts another exaggeratedly idealized hot dude... strangling a woman whose smiling and dying in his arms. A toxic relationship, I imagine! Looks like someone!!! is having!!    relationship problems, maybe So let’s listen to how the mom describes the problem to her daughter “ It’s a virtuous cycle ” “ And they never repent how I want them to ” “ Our adversaries are in denial ” So it sounds like to me...... not only is she prone to being too forgiving of a certain someone, and that’s why she stays in a horrible situation in a horrible relationship... but that certain someone both gives insincere apologies... and denies that their actions are severe enough to be criticized.

Sound familiar? Maybe it sounds like the insincere apology of a certain mirror loving duderino who insulted his daughter’s ankles and promptly excused himself for having a brain that likes fixing mistakes without ever taking back what he said? And then promptly said this habit of his was uhhhh

“ That’s just a part of my journey, yknow? I’m like a tiny growing thing.” “ Everybody’s so mad at me, like, i’m growing though-- why be so negative? Why do people look at me-- like you probably are right now?” Feign innocence, empty promises to improve, reflect all attempts to convey that you’ve hurt someone? All without even being asked about it, btw lmao? It sounds like someone has something they should be apologizing for...   ( You’ll also notice all the 3 adults have a way of talking as if speaking in general terms-- like they’re talking about everybody in the whole world or to an audience rather than to... a little girl they have a personal relationship with-- but i think that’s just expressing how disconnected and self interested they are. You kinda have to read between the lines to get what they’re saying. )

ANYWAYS this is all my take on it, at least ! Hope it made sense!! If... any of you actually read all this junk lmao

To Allure and Impede

SUMMARY: Marvin Lockens was fifteen when he was brought under Jameson Jackson’s wing and first started learning how to control and use his magic. Since then, he’s met Henrik Schneeplestein, the Castle’s doctor and his father figure, Chase Brody, the Castle’s Third in Command and best archer around, Jackie Bullmon, the Second in Command and Head Guard who’s always wearing red, and Sean McLoughlin, the King Himself, as well as various others. Yet, despite being with them for more than four years and proving to be a skilled mage, they all still treated him like the shy child they first met. And he was tired of it. What happens when he meets a stranger in the woods, who gives him cards to hand out and disappears into the shadows? What happens when he hides it from everyone? What happens at the Masquerade?

Inhale. Exhale. In. Out. Left. Right. Left. Right. Blink. Keep running. Dont look back.

they don't care. They can do better. They dont need you. They'll throw you out too.

Marvin kept running. He ignored the branches hitting his face. Ignored the searing pain in his chest. Ignored the cold, the tears in his clothes. Run away from them. Run away from those thoughts. Don't think. Focus on running. Don't let them find you. Hide. Don't disappoint them.

He didn't know when he reached the familiar house, nor how. All he knew was that one moment he was tearing through the mud, falling, running. The next, hes shivering, wet from tripping into the small stream, knocking on the dark wood door.

A woman opened the door, wavy red hair messy and tied back. She blinked for a few moments, before registering how the mage apprentice in front of her looked. "...Marvin? Marvin, hon, what happened?!" She exclaimed, cupping his face and pushing his green hair away from his eyes. "Come in, come in!"

"You...what happened hon? You're covered in dirt and you're wet, Lucy can you start the fire?" She pulled him inside, already working to remove the wet articles of clothing. "Lets get you warmed up so you dont get pneumonia or hypothermia, ok?" Lucy, who Marvin remembers seeing with Henrik and Marissa, had brought over a quilt and handed it to her mother. She promptly wrapped him up, pulling him to the fire. "Come here, tell me what happened. Talk to me."

Marvin was tearing up, shivering and curling close to the mother figure. Everything in his mind was beginning to settle in, and it was terrifying him. But Marissa didn't push, just held him while Lucy wrapped around his waist. ".....it's okay hon, you're alright...you're safe....."

The dam broke, and suddenly he was clinging to her, sobbing, letting everything spill from his lips. Telling her about the woods, the mystery person, the cards. He told her about the ride home, the lies he told, the outburst. He told her about how he snapped, how he ran from them, how he ran away from the castle. He told her about how he was scared and didnt know why, how he was terrified.

The entire time, she listened. She held him close, carding a hand through his green hair. She didn't let go. Lucy had left, most likely to retrieve something to help comfort the apprentice.

" .....oh hon....." Marissa breathed, seeming to hold him even closer than before. "i won't tell Henrik about this, or Jamie. But i do advise you to give those cards away and get rid of them." A whine escaped Marvin's lips. He didnt want to confront them, not now. There was too much fear, too much tension.

Marissa seemed to sense this. "It doesn't have to be immediately, just soon, alright? Now, Henrik isn't due home any time soon, with the masquerade coming up. And I'm not telling anyone about you being here, so if you want to stay for a few days you go ahead. But for now, lets get you cleaned up." The ginger helped him up, guiding him to the guest room. She chuckled, seeing a bunch of her daughter's stuffed animals being spread over the bed. Even Marvin smiled softly at the sight, the 10-year-old's attempt at cheering him up warming his heart.

"There's clothes on the bed. If you need anything either come get me or tell Luce to come get me, okay?" Marissa murmured. "My room is right down the hall."

Marvin was torn. On one hand, he wanted to go in that room and disappear forever. On the other hand, he wanted, no, needed comfort. He needed to be held, to be told it was alright. He needed to feel safe.

He fell onto his knees, wrapping his arms around Marissa. She made a small noise of surprise, but held him tight. It didn't matter that Marvin was an adult, it didn't matter that it had been years since he was held like this. No, right now it was a mother, holding the scared fourteen year old child that was covered in scars and left on the streets to die, all because he had abilities that were feared. All because he didn't know control yet.

She guided him to the bed carefully, turning around only to let him change into more dry clothing, and tucked him in. At one point, Lucy had joined them, curling up next to Marvin. Marissa had smiled, and stayed with them. She hummed a lullaby, only stopping when they were both asleep. Carefully, she took off the mask that hid his scars, and set it on the nightstand.

She smiled, pressing a kiss to both Marvin and Lucy's foreheads. While Marvin was only a little more than ten years younger than her, and found on the streets, he was her child. And just because he was nineteen, that made no difference to her.

Marissa got up, blowing out all but one of the candles. She quietly walked to the door, taking one last glance at the pair.

"Sweet dreams Marvin, Lucy" she murmured, shutting the door.

"You don't really believe her, don't you?" 

Marvin whirled around, seeing the figure of the person in the woods. Around him, there was nothing but a black void. It seemed to be endless, not an ounce of light anywhere. And in the center of it all was a dark silhouette of a person, covered by a cloak. Though, he could see the green eyes underneath the hood, slitted like a cat's.

"You think that you can stay away for a day or two, and everything will be alright?" The male continued, steadily approaching the mage. "You think it will be normal? News flash, Marvin, it won't be! They'll use this against you. Call you a child, make choices for you. Never give you your freedom."

"....whst do I do?" Marvin looked down, defeated. Whoever he was....he was right. They would see him as the baby, the child that was brought to Jameson four years ago. Nothing more.

The figure grinned. " Perform. Pass out the cards. Make yourself known. If everyone loves you, it will be easier for you to have the freedom you crave. The freedom you NEED. The freedom they won't give you."

The world seemed to grow darker, and Marvin could tell he was waking up. "And one more thing. Don't tell her about this. In fact, don't tell anyone." His voice echoed, before the figure surrounded by darkness disappeared from his vision.

"-vie! Marvie!"

Marvin shot up, breathing heavily. He was slightly ahaking, and covered in a cold sweat. Light peeked in from behind the curtains, and a candle close to dying sat on the dresser.

He jumped, feeling hands wrap around his waist. It was Lucy, hair messed up and looking worried for the older male. "....you were shaking and saying things...." She murmured, sounding concerned and scared. Marvin was like her older brother, afterall. And to see him vulnerable....it was scary to see those who are like protectors break.

Marvin breathed a sigh of relief, pulling her in for a proper hug. "Shh, its okay....I'm alright, see? Just a bad dream." He murmured. He was well aware that later he would be handing out cards, giving everyone a hint of magic in their lives. But for now, it felt like his heart was saying that it was best to stay and be a protective older brother. And so he would listen, at least for a little while.

Jameson was pacing. He had hardly any sleep, save for when he dozed off for just over two hours at his desk. So far no one had found him. Jack had to stay in the castle, so he tried to help search in discreet ways. Henrik had stayed as wel, in case Marvin returned or was brought back injured. Chase had taken his horse and combed through the woods, finding nothing but a couple scraps of material too close to the castle to help. Jackie had taken to the streets, having no luck. He even tried Marissa and Henrik's house, but she denied him ever coming by. 

To say he was stressed was an understatement. He was filled with concern, worried about Marvin. It was his fault, he was the one who snapped. And, according to Henrik and Chase, he had been acting weird all day. Yet he never noticed it.

Jameson sat down in his chair, running a hand through his hair and leaning back.

He just hoped Marvin was okay.

WHOOOOOOO okay just a heads up:

Marissa is Henrik's wife. We dont have a canon name for her or her child's canon name/gender. All we know is that Henrik jas a wife and kids, and I had a friend name her. She found Marvin on the street, face scarred up and just overall beaten up. She took him in for just over a year, then he started going with Henrik to the castle to be taught by Jameson. Hee would always go home with Henrik tho.

now you know.

[gayregis]

OK first episode reactions

OHHH that was THE KIKIMORE............... im glad we get to see the fight because i mean. i would want some money for doing that crazy shit too. also you noticed how he killed the deer because he was probably starving. 

the moment of hesitation before he enters the tavern......... OK... [jaskier or yennefer voice] dont you just wanna stroke his gross dirty white hair

wait the uhhhh... “tavern scene” occurs in the witcher right, so i dont have to be scared bc this is the lesser evil, right, right, maybe not, idk what theyre switching around

the fucking cease of noise as geralt walks in.... the MOOD

cavill is like way too fine to be playing geralt rn i mean this shot where he says point me to the aldermans house is really showing off his profile. i feel sympathetic for this pretty pretty man

oh im regretting not rereading the lesser evil right now. i cant remember WHAT the fuck happens in that story. he goes to stregobor first though right??? right? he meets with the alderman and the dude’s like nah you cant get shit for that kikimore head, but maybe this wizard will give ya smth

my lesbianisms thinking renfri is pretty VS my morality knowing what shes like VS my witcher fan knowing what the hell happens in this story.... fight

WHY DID YOU HAVE TO MAKE RENFRI SO PRETTY!!!!!!! shes SO pretty and cute..... yall are making me like her fuck you fuck you SO hard.

the voice acting is sending me kind of... this is actually a good geralt voice imo if you dont mind me saying that. i still prefer polish tw3 dub but this is actually better than fuckin delvin mallory in the audiobooks. no disrespect, peter kenny, you did dandelion and yennefer and the hansa well, but geralt..... hm....

okay jk actually i need more geralt lines in order to develop my thoughts on his voice. ill wait until edge of the world where he SHOULD be more talkative

are we really going to stregobor’s fucking tower where a naked woman illusion waits on him and he offers to give geralt a go at this basically fuck doll illusion

“where are you from, geralt?” “rivia.” SURE.... YOU LIAR...... liar .... just WAIT until baptism of fire oooohhh just you wait

also this girl marilka is so sweet, also makes me think because milva said she was called that by some. but thats why she changed her name to milva

“because girls cant be witchers right” OK you reminded me 50% of ciri but now youre literally just proto-ciri

oh.... no foolery with the magic door knocker?

YEP I WAS RIGHT WE GOT NAKED LADIES!

wow this exactly what i pictured the inside of stregobor’s tower to be like lmaooo

WHY DOESNT GERALT KNOW STREGOBOR???????

oh its so weird to see ciri like. like old at cintra you know what im saying . like im like wait wait how is she alive if geralt hasnt been there as ravix yet. not BAD just weird for me

“speak normally” this reminds me of in bounds of reason dandelions like should i give the account in verse or in prose and then he starts speaking with the most flowery prose and geralts like PROSE prose please

“if you had been alive during falkas rebellion” please dont mention falka already we’re moving too fast soon enough leo fucking bonhart will be at our heels!

“and she possesses the power to destroy us all” “i dont believe anyone has that power.” WAIT UNTIL YOU MEET YOUR DAUGHTER DUDE LOL

wow he’s really full body dressed in black leather. huh . and people say hes heterosexual fml

okay i thought them calling the girls “girl” was kinda tender in the series but now its even more tender when heard aloud.

eist is like really present here and i like him enough its just that calanthe was like way more important than him in the series though right

“it needs to rhyme” and “pretty ballads hide bastard truths” so are we really just stealing every clever word that jaskier can say before he even comes into it

LOL CIRI LESBIAN LIKE WE DIDNT EVEN HAVE TO GET TO ANY OF THE OTHER BOOKS..... she said BEGONE HET!

OH I LOVE HOW THEY CONTEXTUALIZE IT SO WE KNOW THIS SHIT IS TAKING PLACE IN THE PAST..... WOW GERALT IS OLD AS HELL LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO  calanthe was like 14 then right so LOLLLL GERALTS OLD AND TIRED lol

me: is a regis fan / also me: GERALT IS A SHITTY OLD BITCH LMAOO

uh oh spaghettios! its nilfgaard and one of their fun funky officers, son of ceallach! i havent seen him yet but im terrified anyways!

okay see this is how you do a  PROPER adaptation. calanthe in the books committed suicide so she wouldnt be r*ped right as she sat in a stupid castle but this calanthe is on the fucking battlefield. this is why we stan middle aged women

eist: [dies] me: AAAAAA cahir: [is there Waiting] (i think its him maybe) me: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

ah fuck ah fuck fuck

ciri: why [is nilfgaard attacking] ? calanthe knowing DAMN WELL stupid fucking duny is her dad: uhHHhhHhH idk lol

“you will rule this land someday” nope again! [thinks about lady of the lake] nope and nope!

ciri’s “are you dying?” to calanthe on her deathbed is the new “was he human” yennefer asking if regis (as a giant fucking bat) was human

i love how looongggg these episodes areee omgg

but also i always thought of the fall of cintra as something you know like. it happened in two shakes, cahir kinda just took ciri up by her underarms (like longcat) and left

OHHHH THEY IMPROVED THIS SCENE SO MUCH I WAS HOPING WE’D GET THIS OMG OMG BUT INSTEAD OF TELLING SOME YOUNG GIRL WHICH HAD WEIRD KINDA GROSS CHEMISTRY WITH HIM ROAVCH GETS TO HEAR IT!!! THIS IS HOW YOU DO AN ADAPTATION YAYY

renfri: who were you talking to? geralt: .. my horse.......... all of the fans: [dialing 1-800-TROUBADOUR immediately]

ugh i really thought they were gonna adapt the sex between renfri and geralt out. ugh ugh . too much heterosexuality

WHOA. HOLD THE FUCK UP. HOLD> HE FUCK UP. CALANTHE ADVISED CIRI TO TAKE MERCY. THATS LITERALLY FORESHADOWING FOR WHEN SHE CHOOSES NOT TO SLAY CAHIR AT THANEDD. WOW. WHAT THE FUCK WOW. WOW’

ciri you are gonna regret stalling so hard when mr. ceallach marches in. just saying. RUN.

CAHIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRR I ALMOST SCREAMED AND TORE MY STITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

uh.... ok...................... hm not what happened in the books.... where ciri is shot off in the midst of battle and crawls up next to a dead man and acts dead ........ lol cahir is even more evil now how is this possible i didnt think he could get MORE evil

[cahir voice] he deflected the arrow with his sword! ive never seen anything like it!

also have i said already that the cinematography is amazing. like the room where calanthe was on her deathbed.... that renfri dream was pretty cool too... just a lot of things are very pleasing to the eye

due to a injury in the carotid artery blood would be gushing everywhere. also is she prophecizing ciri? stop this there are already so many women in the witcher universe that give prophecy. theres like the girl in baptism of fire, ciri, everyone in ciri’s bloodline, and now renfri?

LOOOOLLLL THE HORSE

cahir: nice, GG guys, im gonna go get that cool promotion now, this will be epic, my mom will be SO proud of me-- ciri: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA cahir: OH FUUUUCKKK

well that’s MUCH MORE of a report to file with your superior officers! “yeah so the girl fucking opened up a hole in the earth” instead of “ahh idk i fell asleep and when i woke up she wasnt there :/” .... cahir really is not getting that promotion now, huh

okay yall can say whatever you want about cavill as geralt but when he said “do not touch her” and moved his mouth like that? oh geraltisms.

this is a really nice episode i like how it just went into the action i wasnt convinced at first but ah this is quite nice. i like how it has JUST geralt and ciri in it and later yennefer will come in as her mom. renfri prophecizing was actually pretty ok, at first i thought i wouldnt like the change, but it makes it easier to digest for television. i like how they really emphasize that geralt is hated to all hell, and that ciri is powerful yet still babie. this is a good portrayal of both of them in these stages of their lives you know what im saying. also is cahir gonna chase ciri now for those Good Boy Black Rider points? bc there were shots of him in a forest. ah well whatever lets move to the next episode

Roleplay Server Log #195

“The Rogue Dragon”

[gem] -is following doc-

-The village comes into view and more buildings have been set up, although a few seem to have taken some dragon damage-

[gem] -see the damage- maybe I should repair that

[NOTCHAI] Steps out of one of the buildings and notices the approaching group, he waves a little-

[gem] -is looking at other things and doesn't see the AI yet-

[Doc] Waves back- Hows the village coming along?

[NOTCHAI] - Better, but the dragons sometimes play a little to close

[Doc] Scamps. They love to play. And they get big so fast- Xe indicates Yaunfen-

[NOTCHAI] - There's one that's grown particularly fast and seems to be pretty aggressive...

[Doc] Really? Is it one of the off-model ones?

[NOTCHAI] - Yes, it's base color is black, but it's accented with an electric blue

[gem] -looks over to see the NOTCHAI then her eyes go yellow- AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[Doc] WHOAH GEM CHILL!

[Lie] Spawns many calming flowers- Gem please!  Focus on the flowers!

[gem] -doesn't get a chance to take in the flowers before flying off away from the village quickly-

[Lie] - Oh dear...

[Doc] Geeze Gem.... Lie can you get her please? - at the AI- Black and blue? Are the big ones having difficulty controlling it?

[NOTCHAI] - They seem capable of keeping it at bay, but they have to keep an eye on so many babies...

[Doc] Is it bothering you specifically? Or just raging at random?

[Lie] Goes off to find Gem-

[NOTCHAI] - Random I believe

[Doc] That's odd for a baby... I wonder if it's behavioral coding is messed up?

[gem] - is hiding in a tree far enough that the village can't be seen at all-

[NOTCHAI] - I don't know

[Doc] Apart from color, what does it look like?

[NOTCHAI] - It's getting big, and fast, it's body is more muscular than the others as well.  It looks like it has two large canines which stick out of the upper jaw...  Anything more specific I can't say since it hasn't gotten close

[Lie] - Gem?  Please come down?

[Doc] I'll see what I can do. If it's already mature maybe I can just tp it to an area much farther away.

[gem] NOTCH... there was NOTCH... I don't want... want to lose them again.

[Doc] Do you guys need anything while I'm here?

[Lie] - You won't Gem, this isn't the same NOTCH., he's not going to hurt you

[NOTCHAI] - No, but I do have something for the white haired brines husband...

[gem] -won't budge from the tree-

[Doc] She's probably trying to talk our friend down, I can give it to her or him myself if that's okay with you.

[NOTCHAI] - Please wait here a moment then

[Lie] Spawns many calming flowers beneath the tree- Deep breaths Gem

[gem] -is in ball and is trying to take deep breaths-

[NOTCHAI] Returns carrying a very worn looking book- This...  Was the original NOTCH's...

[Doc] Oh my... - Xe takes it reverently- Thank you. I'm sure he'll be glad to have it, no matter what it contains.

[NOTCHAI] - I'm fairly certain it's a journal

[Lie] - Gem?  Can you talk to me?

[Doc] Puts it gently away-

[NOTCHAI] - How is the Supreme Notch?

[gem]  -is making small sounds before being about to get out a quiet yes-

[Doc] In bed, watched over by Flux and his sons in a rotation. It's sweet really. Lie's flowers are keeping him comfortable, and hopefully he's be up and around again soon. Flux said he keeps getting glimpses of code.

[Lie] - Good, just focus on my flowers, let their affect take over, I promise it will help

[NOTCHAI] - Flux?

[gem] - slowly becomes calm but stays in a ball in the tree-

[Lie] - We don't have to go back there for now

[Doc] Oh! I thought you knew! We solved that little mystery. It turns out the woman that Cp's father was hiding was the spirit of the server they all lived on. She's a very powerful being of pure magick. Markus is quite smitten with her.

[NOTCHAI] - How interesting.  Well, I have more work to do, but I will pass along the news of the Supreme Notch

[gem] i'll stay here till we leave

[Doc] He was grateful for the flowers and well-wishes. I'm sure he'll come visit when he's feeling better.

[NOTCHAI] - I hope so

[Lie] - Then I'll stay with you

[Doc] Come on Yaunfen, lets retrive our friends. I think we have a bit of hunting to do.

[Yaunfen] - Burp!

[Doc] Goes looking for Lie and Gem-

[Lie] Sits under the tree Gem is in-

[Doc] There you are Lie, where's Gem?

[Lie] Points up-

[gem] -quietly- up here

[Doc] Gem? They're not gonna hurt you. Most of them are weak and weary of fighting, if not permenantly damaged.

[gem] -make a scared wining noise-

[Lie] - Are we heading home?

[Doc] Not yet, it looks like we might have a small fight on our hands. A rougue dragon.

[Lie] - How rogue?

[Doc] Not sure, just aggressive.

[Lie] - Okay...

[Doc] Gem? We might need your help... and you don't have to go anywhere near the NOTCH AI's.

[gem] -climbs out of the tree and  ends up siting on the ground next to lie and doc-

[Doc] I told you about these guys Gem, I didn't think you'd freak like that.

[gem] but I didn't remember what you told me about them.

[Lie] - Come on, let's go take care of this dragon, that way you can get home and calm down completely Gem

[gem] yea that sounds good.

[Doc] That's the spirit! Apparently we're looking for a blue and black dragon with tusks - Xe does a little tuck and rolls out into hir larger shape- Just in case.

[Yaunfen] - BURP!

[Doc] Stands on hir hind legs like a gopher and has a look around-

-The mountains nearby seem like the best place to start-

[Doc] Gem, do you want to scout from the air?

[Lie] - I can watch Yaunfen if you want Doc

[gem] -nods before taking off looking for the dragon in the air-

[Doc] Nope, you should both hop on me, it's quicker to travel that way.

[Lie] - Alright, come on Yaunfen

[Doc] Kneels down-

[Lie] Climbs on and helps pull Yaunfen up-

[Doc] Let Yaunfen get in my hair, that seems to work best.

[Yaunfen] Scrabbles up to Doc's mane and settles down there-

[Doc] Takes off a gentle trot in the same direction as Gem-

[gem] -is watching carefully for the dragon-

-The mountains seem quieter than they should be for a place harboring multitudes of baby dragons-

[Doc] Sniffs around a bit-

[Lie] - I don't like how quiet this is...

[Doc] I think someone has claimed some territory....

-There's a few falling stones from farther up-

[gem] -is flying in circles above doc-

[Doc] Steps up on the air blocks and goes up a bit to get a better view.

-There's an adolescdent dragon at the top of the mountain, scratching away at the rock as it tries ti dig.  It's black and the small spines going down it's back are a bright electric blue as is it's eyes and the tip of it's tail-

[Doc] Hello there? Cp, said they could understand us normally right? Did you lose something little one?

-It roars and snaps at the group-

[Doc] Are you getting anything Lie?

[Lie] - Just anger...

[gem] -is flying over head of the dragon-

-The dragon swings it's tail at Gem-

[Doc] No pain? I want to make sure it's not being aggressive because something is wrong.

[Lie] - Not that I can tell...

[gem] -flies up to avoid the tail-

[Doc] I wonder why it was digging? Do you want to make a shelter?

-It lunges at Doc-

[Doc] Moves out of the way, xe's staying a bit above the ground anyway. - Whoah!

[Lie] - Yeah, I'd say that's aggressive...

[Doc] Could we try some calming flowers?

[Lie] - Maybe- She spawns some but they are instantly torn up

[Doc] Well then... I'm open for suggestions...

-It's hissing and growling at the group-

[gem] -tries to distract the dragon so it will go for her so doc and lie can have more time to think-

-It lunges at Gem but tries to stay turned away from the sun-

[gem] -dodges then quickly makes a small planet only big enough to they can't try and eat and throws it in front of the dragon to see if it would make a good distraction-

-It bites and smashes the planet-

[gem] strong dragon -makes one out of metal and throws it to them-

[Doc] I wonder if... - Xe gestures a paw and raises up a little wave of dirt to make some shadow-

-It quickly darts into the shadows-

[Doc] I think I see the problem. This one needs a lair.

-It swats at the metal ball Gem tossed and now that it's in the shadows it can be seen that the blue parts glow dimly-

[gem] -get closer- daw I get you buddy the sun can be bright sometimes

[Doc] Well if all they want is darkness, that's easily fixed.

[Lie] - Thankfully

[gem] -tries to get in to the shadows with the dragon-

[Doc] Rubs hir paws together and spreads the ground wide, making a shell over and around the baby like a little fort.

-It swats at Gem, not wanting her there at all-

[Doc] It explains the coloration too, biolumenesince.

[gem] -backs of but starts making more different types of metal planets and starts rolling them to the dragon so they have them to play with-

-It just starts biting through them-

[Doc] Is it eating the metal?!

[gem] this is one strong dragon

[Lie] - I don't know...  Maybe?

[Doc] It would make the digging behavior more sensible...

[gem] -holds out a iron bar for the dragon to come take it if it want-

-It hisses at Gem, it's glow getting a bit brighter-

[gem] -stays perfectly still-

[Doc] Be careful Gem...

-It ignores Gem and sniffs around the walls-

[Doc] At least we figured out why they were being so pissy. I wonder if we should let Thunder and Tsunami know?

[Lie] Glances behind them- I think they already know

[Thunder] Is perched on the next mountaintop over grooming himself-

[gem] I hope they will be ok now

[Lie] - Oh, so what did the NOTCHAI have to say today Doc?

[Doc] Something special, I have a present for Cp.

[Lie] - What is it?

[gem] -panics because she heard NOTCHAI-

[Doc] Gem no! We're just talking!

[gem] -stops but is making scared whines-

[Doc] We can head back now, if you guys are ready

[gem] I am ready really really ready

[Lie] - Sure, let's go

[Mb] Is walking quietly up the tunnel next to Cp-

[CP] He's looking forwards to having a few moments to himself in his and Lie's completely empty house-

[Mb] I... I don't think I'll have much time for fighting for a few days...

[CP] - And I care why?

[Mb] Letting you know so you don't give me shit about it you ass! I gotta make my house bigger!

[CP] - So long as no harm comes to that baby, then I don't give a damn

[Mb] I'm not gonna hurt em. Dammit... It's not like I've never had one before..

[CP] - Is that the Celeste we heard in your thoughts?

[Mb] Give Cp a calculating look, trying to see if he'll be made sport of.  - Yeah. She's... gone.

[CP] - I've seen the pain of a few who have permanently lost their dragons, I suppose I'm lucky in that sense, mine is just reborn everytime she dies

[Mb] Quietly- At least I was able to avenge her.

[CP] - What exactly happened?

[Mb] She helped me fight my NOTCH, and he.... he tore apart her code.

[CP] - That's what mine tried to do to me

[Mb] And then I tore out his hearts and ate them in front of him while he died.

[CP] - Fun

[Mb] He deserved worse. - He's hugging Celine lightly.

[CP] - My dragon was originally my NOTCH's pawn, designed to grow bigger and stronger every time she died

[Mb] And now she's your buddy. Nice.

[CP] - An ally

[Mb] Yeah, I saw. She hits hard.

[CP] - She's not even full grown right now

[Mb] Gotta have the biggest dragon on the seed huh?

[CP] - She used to be normal sized, like I said, everytime she dies she gets bigger and stronger

[Mb] Why the fuck are you so tall anyway?

[CP] - I don't fucking know

[Mb] snorts-  Maybe your mom was an ender.

[CP] - Don't have one idiot

[Mb] Liar. What about Flux?

[CP] - She's the server, not my mother

[Mb] Stops and stares at him- Somehow that's even weirder.

[CP] - What?  Deer is this specific server, Flux was the embodiment of my server

[Mb] It's still wierd. But then this whole place is fucking weird. What the fuck is with the red-eyed behemoth that swims off the coast?

[CP] - A favor for a couple of Doc's friends out in the real world, feel free to beat it up

[Mb] Heh, sounds like fun.

[Mb] What about the tentacle monster the flying weirdo and the deer chick were chasing last night?

[CP] - The what?

[Mb] Some huge thing with tentacles, it can apparently swim like a bat outta hell too. They chased it into the gay Slenders house.

[CP] - Hm, no idea, I pretty much ignore half the weird shit that happens around here now

[Mb] Heh. So how many times a week do you end up furry? I saw your face when the Doc called for a cat carrier.

[CP] - Not nearly as much lately...

[Mb] nods-  Well, she is hot. No shame if you want to be on her good side.

[CP] - You get to make no comments about my wife's appearance

[Mb] Smug grin- Does that annoy you?

[CP] - How about you never even look at my wife

[Mb] laughs- I haven't got any pupils, how would you be able to tell?

[CP] - I just can

[Celine] Is starting to squirm again-

[Mb] Oooh scary. Huh? What's the matter there?

[Celine] Squeaks, a bit scared since she doesn't know where she is-

[Mb] Makes a squeaky noise back. - You're okay, we're going home. -quietly- I'll make you some toys and a place to sleep.

[Celine] Shakes a little-

[CP] - I'm pretty sure there's a few stray blankets made for Endrea and her babies hanging somewhere around my place

[Mb] You're gonna... give me somethin? What's the catch?

[CP] - Nothing, I'm just making sure the baby is okay

[Mb] Still looks a bit suspicious- hm, okay... I don't want em to be cold...

[CP] - Come on asshole

[Mb] follows Cp-

[CP] Exits the cave system and goes into his house and into the storage room, h starts digging around in the chests-

[Mb] Slinks along behind him -

[CP] Finally finds the blanket copies that TLOT made of his cloak and tosses it into MB's face-

[Mb] Takes the warm velvet and wraps Celine lightly. For a moment his face is unguarded as he smiles at her-

[CP] Scoffs at him-

[Mb] Fuck you. I bet you'd rip my face off if I was nasty to your dragon.

[CP] - Oh I wouldn't have to, she'd do it herself

[Mb] Bullshit. I bet you're just as protective with her as you are with your wife.

[CP] - I don't have to be as protective with her, we have no contract, she is a free agent

[Mb] Contract? What are you, some kinda demon?

[CP] - No, I just make contracts with all my mobs, helps keep inner mob fighting down and helps everyone know what job to do

[Mb] Why the fuck..? Nevermind, I don't want to know. I'm going home. - heads for the door-

[CP] Mutters under his breath- About time

[Mb] Stalks through the yard angrily - Stupid brine...

[CP] Is watching him leave to make sure he actually leaves-

-as mb get close to the green house the figure that was hiding inside bolts in another direction away from both him and the house-

[CP] - Oh what the fuck now!

[Mb] clutches Celine protectively

[CP] Stalks towards the green house to make sure his wife's creations are okay-

[Mb] Is just watching Cp now-

-the figure seem to have been tending to the plants carefully none are harmed-

[CP] Checks the plants inside and sighs in relief, finding nothing amiss-

[Mb] Slips away while Cp is distracted-

[CP] Goes back inside the house to enjoy the quiet for a bit-

[sweetmaririn]

I heard the "Hitohira no Kaze" you posted and like wow; i don't really know what he is saying but i really like his voice acting. i just keep falling in love with him more and more ;-;

Ah, He’s actually reading out the lyrics of the song, making it sound more poetic, kind of thing. ｏ(〃・◇・〃)ゞ I was shocked when I first heard it, I mean I DID expect this but I didn’t expected it to be like this! (// v //)

Being the biased fan I am, I won’t hold back on whatever I want to say. WELL, I just really love how the way he reads it. He sound so dreamy, it wasn’t so slow nor it was a fast reading. But what I really like is that all the reading songs, none of it has the same tune or the same pace of reading, I guess that’s the uniqueness of it. The production thought of it well, good job!  When I say same tune, as in for example; Nagasone has this guitar sound(?) as the melody but Kane’s is piano. hahaha~I hope I explained that well I tend to forget some words, that’s why. (ノ*゜▽゜*)

OK OK back to the main topic;

ANYWAYS, talking about Shoutarou’s voice.

YES, his voice sounds so dreamy~ Like I once said he sounds very boyish especially when singing as well but in the same time it’s very gentle?(does that make any sense?) very soothing making you fall in love and it’s a good audio for you to go to sleep as well. Especially if you have problem falling asleep, I think this is the best way to get to sleep! besides it might help you to even get beautiful dreams of Shoutarou. In other words he has the voice to lullaby you(●´艸｀)ヾKYAAAAAAAAAAA~  HAHAHAHAHHA

SO OF COURSE, his voice just keeps pulling you deep, making you fall for him even more and more.. deeper and deeper.. it’s just so hard not to love him.. YOU KNOW, When I first heard it, my heart was beating so fast and yes I was hearing it with loud speakers, luckily no one was home and coincidentally it was raining heavily so you get the atmosphere that was build? 

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA this boy, he won’t stop making me fall for him~ he’s already always killing me with his daily adorableness, 

And then there’s this, HAVING HIS VOICE, reading the lyrics of Hitohira no Kaze   (*´台｀*) triple the FEELS~♥♥♥♥♥♥

In one of my past post, I did say something like “not to be bias, his voice may not be the best” but now I totally change my mind, I take back my words,

HIS VOICE IS. THE. BEST. I DON’T CARE WHAT PEOPLE SAY, agree or disagree! ALSO, in my opinion his voice with recording or live sounds the same, 

HE HAS A GREAT WONDERFUL VOICE and HE CAN SING. dONE. 

Thank you for coming (/ε＼*)

[mallowkey]

tell me more @ tales of link. tell me everything.

BOI (I’m putting this under a read more cos super spoilers man)

OKAY SO to give you some context, the story is that you’re the player character who summons heroes from a stone, travelling around the world with a girl named Sara and a sprite named Lippy to purify the world of these ruinators

but at some point like months ago??? the plot suddenly switched to this group of people that had like your character’s avatar (now named Allen), a blond dude named Zephyr, and Lippy, agreeing to go with this girl named Kana, along with Sara (the SAME Sara from the main story) to gather the goddesses’ power as per Kana’s dad’s request. So of course everyone was just “?????? What about the main plot?? Did they just retcon??? Is this a side story??? AU???”

ANYWAYS

So usual Tales Of plot twist ala Symphonia; Kana is losing more and more of her humanity the more she harnesses the goddesses’ power (in this case her sense of direction and motor skills) so she’s like a puppet, her dad isn’t actually her real dad and is one of the antagonists, he controls Kana to attack Zephyr and whatever and leave him to die, Jade Yuri Reala and Kyle do the whole ‘you go on ahead and rescue Kana’ once we find Zephyr, the big bad Nidhogg is released, you know the drill

SO Kana uses this big powerful light attack with most of the goddesses’ power helping her, while Sara suffered a fatal attack from Nidhogg that nearly tears her soul away from her body and whatever, so Allen (a healer from the heavens) tries to heal her with Lippy’s help which involves them using a part of their own souls to force Sara’s back in her body

Kana is containing Nidhogg and Zephyr tells her to get away but then she reveals she couldn’t even move anymore and Niddhog is super close to her face and she can’t even struggle because she had exhausted the goddesses’ power or something so Zephyr tries to get her despite being trapped under the rubble (THEY FUCKING DESCRIBE SKIN AND BLOOD BEING SCRAPED FROM HIS LEGS) and just as she’s about to be grabbed by her hood NIDHOGG EATS HER WHOLE ALONG WITH A PART OF ZEPHYR’S ARM (WHICH HE JUST SEES AS A PIT OF DARKNESS)

NIDHOGG IS ALREADY BEING WHISKED AWAY TO THIS TIME SPACE PRISON BY THE GODDESS AND HE MANAGES TO EAT KANA WHOLE AND IF ZEPHYR DOESN’T FUCKING MOVE HE WILL TOO

SO ALLEN AND LIPPY AND SARA ARE BEGGING ZEPHYR TO MOVE TO GET AWAY BUT ZEPHYR IS JUST AT THIS STATE WHERE HE’S REALIZING HE FAILED EVERYONE HE WAS A FUCKING FAILURE SINCE THE VERY START HE JUST FAILED TO SAVE KANA WHO EVERYONE WAS HOPING HE WOULD AND HE JUST LOOKS AT ALLEN AS HE GETS EATEN BY NIDHOGG LIKE WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!? ZEPHYR NO

BUT LIKE BEFORE THAT, ALLEN CALLS HIM BY HIS REAL NAME ‘LILLIUM’ BUT WE ALREADY KNEW THAT BUT ZEPHYR SAYS IN HIS DIALOGUE THAT ALLEN’S REAL NAME IS… YUP, YOUR PLAYER NAME.

And just cut to black.

But wait there’s more???? Apparently we’re now playing as Zephyr inside of Nidhogg’s stomach who apparently lost his body but is maintaining his consciousness in there, so he tries to find Kana since she had to be like him RIGHT????

So the enemies are named shit like Hatred, Grief, Loss, Despair, and Corruption ok cool

But then like slowly the screen is getting covered by black goo??? Like it’s even getting the dialogue area/user interface it’s really creepy

Nidhogg shows up and tries to make a deal with Zephyr that in exchange of his help to get the goddesses’ power/get him out of the prison he’ll release Kana and give her a suffer-free life unlike the one she had. Of course Zephyr says no, so Nidhogg says like lol your loss you’ll just wander around my stomach never finding her

SO ANOTHER QUEST PLAYS (AFTER JUST ONE CHAPTER OF ONE QUEST) AND THE BLACK GOO KEEPS DRIPPING MORE AND ZEPHYR IS LOSING MORE AND MORE OF HIMSELF AND HE’S SLOWLY GETTING TEMPTED TO AGREE TO NIDHOGG’S DEAL THE POOR KID

NIDHOGG HAD BEEN FUCKING GUILT TRIPPING ZEPHYR FOR NOT SAVING KANA AND FAILING EVERYONE AND OH YEAH IT’S BEEN A THOUSAND YEARS SINCE THE EVENT (BUT THAT TIME I DIDN’T TRUST NIDHOGG COS HE IS A BIG EVIL DRAGON I DO NOT TRUST THE MAN–)

FUCKING ZEPHYR MAKES THE DEAL AND HEY LOOK AT WHAT THE SCREEN TURNS INTO

WHAT THE FUCK.

SO uh… remember how I complained how is this connected to the main plot?

Apparently the whole world is a cycle so eventually everyone gets reborn again and usually the same shit happens, at least according to Zephyr.

remember how I said you first meet up with Sara and Lippy as if by fate? Remember how I said Allen and Lippy fused a part of their souls with Sara to keep her alive? Yeah. That’s how.

Also remember how they’ve been travelling to dispel ruinators? Yeah, Zephyr was the one spreading those shits. He waited exactly until you were born again to spread those, the fucker

Cos Nidhogg wants the goddesses’ power (which is infused in yours, Lippy’s, and now Sara’s) to revive Kana’s soul.

ANYWAYS MOST OF THE MAIN PLOT SHIT (Like Sara’s brother getting controlled by the ruinators) is ZEPHYR’S FAULT

So like he fails to beat you when you meet, and Nidhogg mocks him for his failure and says well you have like another thousand years to try again (cos apparently you get born every 1000 years)

so Zephyr waits. And tries again. And fails. And waits. And tries again. Every single time.

Of course it’s driving him mad and into more despair cos he just wants to save Kana he wants her to live again he doesn’t want her to just be stuck in the darkness that is Nidhogg’s stomach and shit

All he remembers is Kana, but he hears her voice saying something like this wasn’t what she wanted

;-; I was fucking crying in anger cos this is BULLSHIT

AND IT ENDS IN A TO BE CONTINUED AND WITH ZEPHYR SAYING THAT THIS IS YOUR STORY LIKE NO. WHAT ABOUT ZEPHYR I WANT HIM TO BE HAPPY TOO

I DON’T KNOW WHEN THE NEXT UPDATE IS BUT FUCK YOU TALES OF LINK THIS IS NOT FAIR

THIS IS A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF PLOT TWIST COMING FROM THEM. AND IT GODDAMN FUCKED ME UP.

I JUST WANTED TO GO ON A HAPPY ADVENTURE WITH MY HEROES AND DESTROYING RUINATORS I WASN’T EMOTIONALLY PREPARED FOR THIS AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
