#AVIS KILL SCREEN

[a-decent-human-being5]

My Thoughts and Opinions on all the Season One Drawtectives Witnesses Because I Just Finished Rewatching it

(Spoilers under the cut btw)

Buzz: Yeah his design is adorable the drawtectives are completely valid to just melt the second he comes on screen. I adore his voice and the fact that he doesn’t really talk that much, very fun contrast with the cute design. His crush on Dr. Fontaine is also incredibly cute glad they got to sit next to each other at Huck E. Heese. Wish I could eat some of his food but that’s kinda how I feel about all fictional chefs cause I like good food.

Don Jovi: What a name. I remember when I first watched the show I didn’t like him very much because he was the first witness to say “well you gotta earn the clue about the murder” but all things considered they’re chill. I don’t have many thoughts on them though other than the fact that it’s funny how even he finds the crew’s love for Buzz to be a bit much.

Avis Smythe: He obviously didn’t do it but I absolutely feel like he would kill for his son, even though he doesn’t actually know his age lol. Idk he just defends Ogalvy as a good kid so much, despite how blatantly obvious of a troublemaker he is, that I absolutely could see him killing for him if it came to that. Which brings me to yeah in terms of being a good dad he probably should set more boundaries but I love that he just lets Ogalvy do basically whatever weIl also swearing up and down that he’s such a good boy. I get why he was chosen as the fall guy but I also love that the crew went the complete opposite direction with it of “well it couldn’t be Avis cause he’s so nervous he’d probably just tell us if he did it”. However that does always make me wonder how he was able to be a good mole in his job. Also I didn’t say it yet but for him and Ogalvy both the designs are amazing. The reveal that they aren’t actual bird people is iconic. I love how their designs still perfectly match the masks like I would expect no one else under those masks you know.

Ogalvy Smythe: He’s such a little chaotic troublemaker of a kid I absolutely adore it. The fact that this child is not just a thief but a dedicated thief is amazing. Like he’s actively getting so upset when he realizes that there were expensive jewels in this house that someone who’s not him already stole. It’s perfect. He’s also Such a funny character like his lines are iconic and consistently had me laughing. It’s just that complete accurate bluntness that a 5 or something year old has. I don’t want to repeat myself too much but it should be said just how good his design is. Like he is just an egg and I love that for him. It’s not that important and makes sense but I do appreciate just how fitting the cartoon characters he assigned to each of the drawtectives are. Like yes Rosé gets hot lady, York gets hot guy, and Grendan gets dog, perfect. Also speaking of the drawtectives I love how they all eventually came around on him. And of course you can’t talk about Ogalvy without talking about his bond with Rosé. It’s adorable love these thief buddies love that Rosé takes him under her wing despite the fact that she’s trying to get out of that lifestyle. I love it all. Rosé asking what all he stole to try and see if he has the jewels is both a very smart move on her end and such a cute little bonding moment. Plus that gave us all the iconic line of “the hearts and minds of the people”. Overall I just absolutely love Ogalvy he’s probably my second favorite witness and despite his criminal tendencies, or let’s be honest here do in large part to them, he’s such a fun and charming character.

Faucon: Coolest person ever. I love how laid back she is it can sometimes be very funny just how chill she is about absolutely everything. Like just how cool she is was something so refreshing that it was almost comical. Love how she inspired Grendan to change up his name for the first time that’s pretty cool. Even though the name change is just a joke at that point Faucon is still just so supportive of it like it’s real sweet to see. Objectively she’s just the down to earth celebrity but she’s so good at being it you know. She’s cool and understanding while also not down playing her fame. I feel like most down to earth celebrities in fiction fall into a trap of just disregarding or not really liking their fame but that’s not really Faucon. She might be chill and not actively bringing up her status as a celebrity but she still loves her music and her band and if her interactions with the drawtectives is anything to go off of her fans too. She is truly just so nice and supportive about like absolutely everything. Even for something simple like Grendan not knowing many songs her immediate response is, that’s fine and you shouldn’t feel like you have to lie about it. Ended up loving her a lot more than I previously did upon rewatch.

Harper Justice: A lot of people love Harper but I’m not one of those people. I get why other’s like her so much but I am York in this situation. Her spoiled contradictions in her morals upset me. I also can’t stand how she didn’t give them any clues at the end of it. I do like her a lot more in the one shot stream where she’s less drunk and angry, plus giving her a pet that she loves immediately makes her more endearing. This post is only really about season one though so as it stands I still don’t really like her. I hope that her and her mom get closer after she tells her the truth about her past though. I just think it would be nice especially since they’re the only members of the justice family that are left.

Sam Ug: Sam gives us a lot of interesting information after Grendan uses their power on her. I really think her past as a criminal is intriguing especially in relation to Sorin giving her a second chance and her not really trusting people because of her past. Love that she’s based on a dragon and the cigarette representing the smoke is a cool choice. Kinda unrelated to her as a character but her drawing prompt is one of my absolute favorites in season one. It’s just so funny to watch the crew explain photoshop actions in traditional art wording as everyone is just sitting there like damn you really brought your whole ass art kit here tonight huh Grandma. Overall though I think she’s interesting and her past has some cool implications about how she is currently.

Emery Justice: Emery is a horrible evil dad killer we know this, however sense we do know this it can be a little fun to watch him upon rewatch. Like seeing him so quickly agree with any witness the drawtectives propose. Watching him talk up how strong the person must of had to be to overpower his dad. How he out the gate says he wants to help catch whoever is responsible for his father’s death. Like I don’t really like Emery and he’s probably my least favorite witnesses of this season, but sense he is the murder he can also be kinda interesting for that reason.

Susan Fontaine: She’s very sweet and very proficient in her field of work which I respect. She’s actually so sweet that it catches the crew completely off guard, which is pretty funny to watch considering they’re so not used to someone being so agreeable and easy to work with. I think it’s cute how she knows most celebrities because of the interns at her job like it’s just kinda sweet. To me her listening to her interns about casual stuff kinda just shows her caring nature even outside of this case. Also I already said it when talking about Buzz but they’re pretty cute together. Them sitting at Huck E. Heese is adorable. Yeah she’s nice and sweet but I honestly don’t have many thoughts about her outside of that.

Llarm Alasa: My favorite witnesses. He is fashionable for one like the outfit is just great. I completely forgot that he opened it up with the drawing prompt immediately but I kinda love it. It kinda feels like a fun contrast to Dr. Fontaine who gave them all the information up front and then asked for a drawing after just for fun. I don’t know if this was at all intentional but it sure works out nicely with their episodes being back to back. Him just wanting to do something by getting into the drawing challenge dose makes sense though cause as he says he’s been in this room for ever. Also he’s so incredibly tired which again is completely fair considering he’s the last witness and had to just sit in this room for 10 hours. And all this on the same night that one of his best friend died like that sucks so much. He’s so clearly not doing well right now given the whole situation so he tries to distract himself with invention ideas so he doesn’t have to think about it. He basically says this himself. He also brings up how he tends to bury himself in his work to distract from his personal problems which just has me sitting there like bud that’s an awful coping strategy. I’m just glad that at the end of it though the drawtectives give him a new thing for him to think about with whether or not anyone there has been an animatronic the whole time. Also can I just say that his response of “that would be amazing” to that thought is so funny. Like given the witnesses track record you think he would just say it sounds stupid or something but no, to him that idea is cool as hell. It’s just so endearing and speaking of things that make him endearing, I’m great at segways I know, I love him for being a cat owner. Plus it’s a black cat that’s named after something he really enjoys which appeals to me specifically as someone who also has a black cat that was named after something I enjoyed. It is a slight upset that he doesn’t show the crew any cat photos but like he comes around in the end by telling them to follow his Binstagram so I won’t hold it against him. Honestly the only real slight I have against him is that you can not go around picking up obvious murder weapons off the floor my guy. Like do I kinda respect him for not really trusting the bumbling idiots that are the B team cops? Yes. Do I think that could be an interesting thing to think about considering he was Sorin’s close friend and wanting an important piece of evidence to be taken care of properly kinda shows a weird sense of care for him? Also yes. But do I think it was a good move? Absolutely not. At least he eventually trusts to give it to Jancy and the other three. Also I do think he’s mainly trusting Jancy over the drawtectives considering he actively lets out a sigh of relief when she comes in the room. Anyways I’m sorry that I rambled so much about my favorite but I just love him so much he’s literally my favorite witnesses/npc of the entire series.

Anyways so I saw Twisters today and it was AMAZING! I highly recommend it. It's very fun and if you love weather like me, it was very cool. Was also sad, (I cried a couple times) but that might just be me being an emotional bitch 😅.

I really like the twist (haha) and how it wasn't really like a SUPRISE thing (like it wasn't too hard to see coming, but if you didn't already have the inkling of it, it would be a real "ohhhh" moment) Will not spoil it here though, that is gonna be under a cut. Mostly I mentioned it here for the pun and I thought it was really good plot wise.

The actors were all amazing. I really hated the soundtrack I have to be honest. I mean I don't like pop country really and I find a lot of post 2000 country to be not my cup of tea, so that's probably why. I know a lot of people (allegedly) really liked the soundtrack though so dont like go into it thinking "oh this is gonna be a bad music experience", bc hey you might like it!

Anyway as a kid I always thought the original movie Twister was a horror movie, and this one WAS one for me GSGDGDGDGD I was like so fucking scared for most of it 😭 I have a horrible fear of tornados

I thought that it was a movie ab a tornado forming and like chasing this couple?? Like it would suck back into the sky and they're like "whew we're safe!" And it just spawns from the same storm cell again and again until it kills them 😭😭 idk why I thought that

I also thought that just watching it would summon one 😭 I really don't know why I thought that

I just remember anxiously staring at my grandmas vhs tape and being asked if I wanted to watch that and then crying "no no no!!!" Agsgdgdgdggdgdgdg

Anyway very very good movie, although some parts were sad, it was all in all a fun movie and a really cool action adventure type film. I'd say it lives up to the hype

Spoilers below:

Okay so the parts I cried at were: when the boyfriend got sucked away and how he died protecting her 😭

The flashback when she thinks he's in the bed with her saying "its okay, I got you"

The videotape he made in the barn REALLY made me cry

The part when the tornado hits at the rodeo, the part with the mom and the little girl. I was SURE that little girl was gonna die or that she somehow got sucked up and the mom didn't feel her absence (so fucking glad I was wrong oh my god)

The part where the movie theater roof flies off and the screen gets torn off and people got sucked out, and when Lily was almost sucked out. (My cheeks were CLENCHED)

I loved Avi's character change and how he left that dickhead in the storm (but far enough away from the tornado) to go help

Idk why but I wasn't expecting so much death? Like graphic death, even if you don't see the bodies, just knowing like "theres people in there" as the vehicles are sucked up made me SAD

I'm glad Ben put down the camera and went to help instead of being like "ah yes this will make good for my story!" And taking pics anyway. I liked that he wasn't like soley focused on his job, that he saw the team helping others and went to help

Also liked how the team was not only hugging Kate for stopping the tornado, but Avi as well. Like they just adopted him into the crew and were glad he was alive too.

Oh and the Twist was that Storm Par was the bad team and the Tornado Wranglers were the good guys. That they only sell the merch to be able to pay for supplies and food to be able to help the victims. That they weren't as they seemed to be. I thought that was really nice plot wise.

Anyways idk if I was crying bc of the emotional impact of the movie, or if it was like my fear of tornados and fear of that kind of damage happening to my family, or both. Like maybe it was both and the existing fear being amplified had heightened my emotional state and what everyone else saw as a bummer made me cry idk

Anyways I do wanna see it again sgdgdgdggdgd 9.5/10 (.5 taken off for the irritating soundtrack)

Edit: wait wait wait the dickhead (I dont remember his name, you know who I'm talking ab if you saw it) was in The Tin Man truck, the tin man was missing a heart. That dude was straight up heartless.

Avi and Kate were in the Lion truck, they both needed courage. Avi needed the courage to ditch Riggs and stop helping exploit people's tragedy for sponsor money. Kate needed courage to get back into storm chasing, to let go of her grief (or stop being afraid of it), to try her project again, AND the courage to trust Tyler and let him look at her plan.

Avi and Kate BOTH got their courage; Avi came back to help, Kate all the above.

Can't say the same for the Tin Man lmaoo

But also ... is that calling the Scarecrow brainless? Agfsfddg idr who was on that truck but 👀

AND Dorothy was the start of it all/ arguably brought them all together in the first place

Dealing With Demons Chapter 6: Sad as Hell Part 2: Cee

Masterlist with CW

Taglist: @demyxdancer @softvampirewhump @d-cs

This playlist is really good. And by that I mean sad as hell.

Avi put down their book for a second. "We could listen to something else."

No, sometimes you need to feel sad.

"That's the least in-character thing I've ever heard you say."

If you don't feel down sometimes you get numb to the highs. And it's better to be sad about music than about something that actually happened.

"Hmm." They didn't pick the book back up and for a moment we just listened to the song. "This makes me glad I'm not alone right now."

Me too.

"You're still worried about Cliff, aren't you?"

What if he comes after us?

"I doubt he has the means to. And if he does then I'll kill him. I am very powerful and scary."

I wished they'd take this more seriously. Yes. Yes you are. But between him and the Bureau... we might need to... take a vacation somewhere far away.

"Once a runner always a runner, huh?"

That's a low blow.

"Only if it's true. Look, if I'm wrong and we get into some sort of trouble I'll make it up to you. But I don't think I'm wrong."

Okay. I trust you to know your own strength.

"Good. Glad that's settled."

They picked the book back up, but I didn't pay any attention to it, instead focussing on the sad, forsaken voices coming from their phone's speakers.

Then we heard something that chilled me to the bone. It was my phone's ringtone. Avi stopped the music, walked over to the bedroom, and unlocked the drawer in the nightstand. There hadn't been much I'd had the desire or the right to take with me when I left besides some of my clothes, so my collection of personal worldly possessions was pathetically small. But there was a little box of sentimental trinkets in the drawer, as well as a framed picture. And beside that there was a phone that Avi kept charged at my request. They took it out of the drawer and we looked at the message.

When I gave my sister my new phone number before I left I knew it was probably a bad idea. But I also knew I could trust her not to tell anyone, and what if there was some huge emergency involving me that she needed to let me know about? She hadn't tried to contact me once in five years. That was something I had mixed feelings about. I stared at the words on the screen.

"Aunt Bev is sick again. If you care."

"Hey, are you—"

Block me out.

"Cee—"

Block me out, Avi. Wake me up in the morning.

"Okay."

And then the world went away. It was like being half-asleep unless I focussed, and I didn't want to focus. I just let myself drift.

My mind floated back to the scene immortalized in the picture frame next to where my phone had been. My young smiling face, Bev's tattooed arm around my shoulders, a plate of christmas cookies stolen from the kitchen in the background.

I knew that Avi would take me to go see her and let me say goodbye if I asked. I wasn't going to ask. I couldn't. I made my choice a long time ago and burned every single bridge I had in the process.

But out of everyone, Bev was the only one I'd almost said goodbye to in person when I left. I knew I'd outlive her, hell I'd outlive everyone now barring outside intervention, I didn't age while possessed. I thought I was ready. I thought I'd already let everything from that life go.

I was wrong.

TAZ November Celebration 7: Design/Celebrity AU

I'm a little behind my self-imposed schedule with @taznovembercelebration bc I got carried away with this prompt and wound up with 5k words that would have to be part of a larger fic. I haven't decided if I want to finish it yet, but for now here's the scene I had the most fun writing

“Okay, Krav, what’s wrong?” Kravitz jumped. He hadn’t noticed Taako coming out of the back room with the materials he would need for today’s fitting. 

“What? Nothing. I’m fine.” If he was lucky, he could fake fine-ness until Taako got distracted by whatever minute adjustments he wanted to make. As far as Kravitz could tell, the outfit Taako was making him looked done, but Taako insisted there were things that he could still improve. Kravitz couldn’t blame him for being a perfectionist; this was the first red carpet event for either of them, and an opportunity for Taako to get his name out there in the couture world.

Taako rolled his eyes. “You’re a terrible liar, my man. And you’re fidgeting all over the place, which is gonna make my job harder. You might as well talk, cause I’m gonna have all these in my mouth.” He held up a row of straight pins between his thumb and forefinger. “So I’m not going to be able to carry the conversation with my usual sparkling wit.”

Kravitz let out a short laugh. “It’s not even that interesting.” He paused, and Taako motioned for him to continue before making a tiny alteration to the hem of his shirt.

Finally Kravitz sighed. “Alright, but don’t say I didn’t warn you. I had a meeting with the rest of the band today. They think that, as the frontman, I should be doing more to promote Reaper Run.”

Taako shrugged one shoulder, as if to say, It wouldn’t kill you…. He adjusted the angle of a pleat and pinned it in place.

“I know, they’re probably right. I tend to get cameras shoved at me more often, so it’s only fair to them if I take on more of the promotional stuff. I’m just… I’ve never been good at the publicity side of things. I don’t even know how all of…this… happened.” He made a vague gesture. “I mean, yes, our venues got a little bigger in the past year or so, but nothing that you’d expect to lead to…well, fame.”

Taako took the last pin out of his mouth and used it to take in the ankle of one of the pant legs slightly. “I mean, that viral thirst trap of yours probably had something to do with it.”

“What?” He had heard and understood all the words Taako just said, but hearing them in that order caused a critical failure in his listening comprehension skills.

Taako frowned. “The… you know, that photo of you performing that was, like, all over the Internet a few months ago?”

Kravitz still found himself unable to process whatever Taako was saying. “I’m… not online much,” he said weakly. “Johann handles most of our social media.”

Taako stood up slowly in front of him, his eyes wide. “Kravitz… are you telling me you didn’t know?”

“Okay, now I’m getting worried. What didn’t I know?”

“Hang on.” He pulled out his phone and tapped at it a few times before holding it up to Kravitz. The screen showed a picture of him that he hadn’t seen before.

“Oh yeah,” he said after a moment. “I remember that show. It was at this festival in Georgia in the middle of July, which was probably asking for disaster if I’m honest. It was like a hundred degrees, even after the sun went down. Humid, too.”

“But you don’t recognize the picture?”

Kravitz shook his head. “I only know when it was taken because, well, that's not our usual costume. But they're pretty hot, especially under stage lighting, and one of the guys who went on before us actually collapsed from heat exhaustion, so we decided to make some… adjustments. That shirt wasn’t even mine, I think I borrowed it from Avi.”

Taako looked at the picture again. “I think calling it a shirt is a little generous, my fella.”

Kravitz had to agree with him there. It was more of a mesh shrug, really, that covered his arms and shoulders and left the rest of his torso exposed. His skin was slick with sweat, and the photographer had managed to capture him in a rare moment where he wasn’t making the weirdest facial expression imaginable. Instead he had his head thrown back, his eyes closed, a serene expression on his face that Kravitz could pinpoint to the exact song–the exact chord, even–that he was playing.

“And you think this is why we got famous? I mean, I have to admit, it’s a good picture, but I don’t think it’s ‘rapid increase in popularity’ good.”

“Well I definitely think it helped. I know I’d go looking for more info on you if I saw this.”

Kravitz took another look at the picture and frowned. “Wait a minute…. Do you have this saved on your phone?”

Taako snatched his phone back. “It’s the top image when you search your name, my dude! Which, apparently, you never did!”

“It was in your photo gallery!” Was it his imagination, or was Taako blushing? He felt his own face heating up at the thought that Taako found his picture worth saving.

“You can’t prove anything!” Taako scowled at him, and Kravitz had to bite back a grin. “You can take these off now, I'm done with you. Not the clothes, to be clear: just you and your baseless slander.”

“Honestly, Taako, if you wanted to ogle me you could have just said,” Kravitz teased.

“I will put this through an industrial dryer cycle, I swear to God!”

Kravitz found himself grinning as he changed back into his street clothes. There was a big difference between Taako finding him attractive and Taako wanting the sort of candlelit-dinners-and-morning-kisses thing that he had started daydreaming about, but hey, a guy could hope, and it was nice to be appreciated.

Colors That Run Highlights 55

oops it’s another horny one

Back at Teagan’s place (The Reef), the group unwound from being drugged enchanted and discussed their plans. Ultimately it was decided that half the group would actually infiltrate The Oasis, and the other half would come in at some sort of signal-- Fea, Avi, and Kattie being the outside team, and Calypso, Valor, and Jericho being the inside team.

Calypso noticed Avi’s notes that he had taken while at The Oasis, and asked if he had drawn any of the dancers. He was not amused by the question.

Following Teagan’s advice, the group planned to put on a performance at The Reef so that Shouscylla would come poach them for her own business. This performance would take place in a few days, on Annexation Day (the holiday to celebrate the other five realms of Cordias re-joining with Ibera). Upon the event being explained to Avi, he realized that was probably what allowed him to cross through the boundary of planes to get here (though it took him a Long time to get through, because that happened 300 years ago).

Calypso put on a mock performance (of looking Hawt) to prove to Teagan the group knew what they were doing. Naturally she utilized Guidance for this. What proceeded from there was Gay, but then also Jericho revealed that he doesn’t really know what sex is. Poor Avi got saddled with explaining some things to him. Teagan also gave Calypso a drink, which she noted was the first drink a man had purchased for her (probably not actually true). Later that night, Avi took a trip back up to the surface to commune with the stars (and the bf).

Given that they had some time before Annexation Day, the party broke into smaller groups and passed the time in various ways. Kattie got to pet a tiny seahorse(!!) that wandered into The Reef. Valor went gambling and was quite successful-- which garnered the attention of a sharp-dressed shark man named Whitt, who complimented her playing. Avi went shark-petting again, and Fea and Calypso went trawling for street food before they also went to the surface for some time in the sun.

(all floating on the water gayly and softly 🥺)

Annexation Day! The Whore Squad (and Kattie) rallied the crowd, to varying levels of success (read: Calypso got carried and Kattie is awesome) before the performance officially began. Avi was hyping up Jericho and Fea was hyping up Calypso (picture a split screen moment where they’re both saying “you’re gonna kill it up there” at the same time).

Overall the performance was a big hit. Jericho, despite a lack of experience and knowledge, strutted his stuff and revealed a brand or tattoo of a pair of scales on his back. Calypso went with what felt right, having not prepared ahead of time-- though she did utilize the holy symbol of the Goddess of Passion for tasteful cooch censorship and Guidance (her strip song is Montero, btw). Valor tapped into the dancing lessons Luna gave her, and did her best, but the crowd wasn’t as excited by it. Afterward, the three of them did a group closer, and earned a bit more gold. And somewhere near the back of the tavern, Shouscylla Observed.

As the partying after the performance went on, Valor checked in with Luna, telling she did her proud with her dancing. Shouscylla soon approached Teagan and the two of them had a heated discussion. 👀Calypso, naturally, got a drink and soon was approached by Shouscylla as well. Coasting on the confidence of her performance, Calypso played up the Whore Squad’s value to her business and accepted her offer to interview them at The Oasis. Also Calypso was supposed to pass on the offer to Valor and Jericho, but she forgot to do so because she got too margarita.

Shouscylla meandered over to the others then (Kattie didn’t act interested in the job but said she’d take a look at the place), and Fea swooped in not long after to check the fuck in because Shouscylla is shady (and Calypso got Drunk). Fea expressed that she was worried about her working at The Oasis, and Calypso just waved it off, saying Fea worries too much.

Valor and Jericho made their way to the bar and Valor bought drinks for them both. Valor got Real Hammered from rather little, and Jericho lifted her easily and carried her up to her room so she wouldn’t hurt herself. She noted he was very muscled.

The next day the group reconvened to plan for their coming meeting with Shouscylla. Valor wasn’t concerned about having their important items taken from them when they took up the job offer, and Calypso wasn’t concerned about defending herself if she lost her stuff because her body is her weapon, but the rest of the group insisted they leave their most valuable stuff with the outside team. Or at least one weapon.

The rough plan was for the inside group to get “settled in” at The Oasis so they could scope the place out for a couple days, get in touch with Cora (who could deactivate the magic cuffs), check in with the others via Sending, and work from there to free the other workers and let in the outside team to fuck shit up™️. (The idea of killing Shouscylla in her office preemptively was also considered, but not agreed on.)

we love whoring out for Justice

[sgrumby]

“Okay, fuck, marry, kill: Avi, the Director, and, uh,” Taako says, “the red robe!”

He’s lying on Lup’s bed, his head hanging off the side and his feet up against the wall. She’s sat on the floor next to the bed, clutching the bottle of wine they’ve been working their way through.

Lup thinks for a moment and says, “kill... Avi.”

Taako chokes on thin air, and pulls his legs down from the wall so he can sit upright. “Kill Avi? Lup, what the fuck?”

“Yeah, I don’t know, this is a hard one!”

“How is it hard? The red robe is an evil spectre!” He says, indignant. “Plus, Avi’s pretty hot. I can’t believe you’d kill Avi. I’m telling him you said that.”

“Wha - the red robe is fucking sexy, Taako,” Lup tries to defend herself. “Did you see that guy? Wowzer.”

“Wha - Lup!” Taako snatches the bottle from her hand and takes a huge swig, trying to make the world make sense again. He gasps as he surfaces. “He’s - he’s just a cloak! He’s literally just fabric and bone!”

“Yeah, but, like,” Lup says, trying to find words to justify it. “Sexy bone.”

Taako shakes his head in disbelief. “Okay, so what you’re telling me is, you’d kill Avi, fuck the red robe and marry the Director?”

Lup thinks for a moment and shakes her head. “Kill Avi,” she says. “Fuck the Director. She’s hot, in a MILF kinda way. I’d marry the red robe.”

Taako stares at her. “Wha - but – he -”

Lup laughs as she realises she’s broken her brother. “I mean, his voice is kinda sexy, right? It’s all gravelly.”

Taako keeps staring. “Lup, I – I thought your crush on Barry Bluejeans in Phandalin was bad, but this – this is a whole new level.”

“What! The red robe is – he – I mean – he's a sexy motherfucker,” Lup says. “You’re telling me you didn’t think he was even a little attractive? I know you, Ko, you love goth shit.”

“Goth?! He’s bright red!”

“He’s dead! It doesn’t get more goth than that!”

The twins glare at each other. Taako blinks first. “Okay, I guess. He’s probably not got a dick though.”

“He’s definitely got a bone dick,” Lup says.

“There - there’s no bones in the dick, Lup,” Taako says.

“Oh, and you’re the dick expert now, huh? Anyway, my boy is made of magic, you think he can’t conjure up a dick?”

“Your boy?! Lup, this is an intervention.”

“Listen,” she says. “Listen. I could. I could seduce him. And learn all his secrets.”

“I can’t believe you think he’s sexy,” he says. “Evidently I got all the taste in the family.”

“You flirted with the grim reaper!”

“Who has a very handsome, not-bone face.”

“You didn’t know that! He was made of rock at the time!”

Their conversation descends into petty squabbling, and the red robe is forgotten. Eventually, they both fall asleep, wrapped around each other like when they were kids, but when Lup dreams she dreams of a man who turns to static when she wakes.

-

“Hey, madam D,” Lup says. “Me ‘n Ko got super drunk last night and had a great idea.”

“This is her idea,” Taako says. “I’ve got nothing to do with it.”

“Okay, Taako, bring it in,” Lup says, ignoring Taako’s interjection entirely.

Taako folds his arms and scowls. Lup scowls back at him, and they glare at each other until the Director clears her throat pointedly. Lup storms out of the room and carries in a projector and a laptop. She plugs the projector in, and aims it at one wall of the office. The projector’s light comes on, displaying the Fantasy Powerpoint logo. Lup clicks the mouse a few times, and her presentation starts.

“Why I should seduce the red robe: by Lup Taaco,” the title screen says. She clicks the mouse again, and an obnoxious star wipe transition changes the slide to say, “Pros: I can learn all his secrets and get dick from a sexy ghost. Cons: ???” Lup clicks once more, and the “End of slideshow” screen appears.

The Director blinks and opens her mouth to say something, but promptly shuts it again. She tries again, with the same result.

“You’ve been saying this whole time they’re like, a mysterious organisation, no one knows anything about them – this could be an opportunity!”

“I told her it was stupid,” Taako chimes in.

“No you didn’t! You just said you thought Avi was sexy.”

“No, right after that!” He protests. “I said, how are you gonna seduce a dickless ghost?”

“He was into me!” Lup says. “I could tell. Madam D, you weren’t there, and Taako won’t admit it because he wishes the sexy ghost was into him and not me -”

“I don’t wish that,” Taako deadpans.

“ - but he was totally into me. I could see it, uh, in his -”

“Yeah, Lup, go on,” Taako says. “Finish that sentence. Which defining feature of his screamed “I’m into you”? You could see it in his empty eye sockets, right? Or on his skeletal face?”

“Yeah,” Lup says. “That.”

The Director takes a minute. It looks like she’s trying to compose herself, taking some deep breaths, trying not to go absolutely apeshit at them.

“I can’t believe I’m having to explicitly spell this out for you,” she says. “Do not try to seduce the red robe.”

Lup nods. “Yes, ma’am. Received and understood.” She salutes, and spins on her heel to march to march out of her office.

The Director audibly sighs as they leave, placing her head in her hands. Taako follows Lup out, and as soon as the door closes, he leans on the wall, folds his arms, raises an eyebrow and says, “I’ve never heard you give in so easily.”

“I promised I wouldn’t try,” Lup says. “But in the immortal words of Fantasy Yoda: ‘Seduce or do not. There is no try.’”

“That doesn’t sound right.”

“I’m paraphrasing. Anyway, what’s important is that the Director was totally on board.” She turns and walks away, grinning as she hears Taako sigh.

-

“I can’t believe I’m having to explicitly spell this out for you,” she says, although it’s not entirely true. This is wholly in-character. “Do not try to seduce the red robe.”

Lucretia had called herself long-suffering before she’d recruited her family. Now?

She sighs as the office door closes and spins in her chair, dispelling the magic over the portrait of herself. In its place, the painting of them all on the beach year appears, and she sighs, staring at her family. They’d been so happy.

Somehow, running from the annual apocalypse in a boat powered by love magic was a simpler time.

-

Avi stands, stock still, staring at them.

Merle steps forward and immediately slaps him, but Avi still doesn’t move. Taako slaps him too, but Avi stays stationary. Lup’s about to take a turn, when those now-familiar tones echo from behind her.

“Did you retrieve the cup?”

Lup’s eyes widen, and she turns to Taako.

“Cover for me for, like, one minute,” she hisses, and turns away.

“Yeah, m’dude, we totally got it,” Taako says, and the red robe turns to face him.

“And what did you change?”

“I changed... into something more comfortable,” Lup says, spinning back around. In those few seconds, she’s cast prestidigitation to clean up her makeup, undone the top couple of buttons on her sweater, and hiked her skirt up so it’s a lot shorter. She leans on the umbra staff and winks. “What’s up?”

The red robe does a double take. “Uh - excuse me?” He asks, in a voice suddenly not so raspy.

“Well, I just couldn’t help but notice – uh, your bone structure,” she says. “Very handsome, very dashing. And this fabric?” She grabs a hold of the robe. It crackles with magical energy and she yelps and snatches her hand back, sucking on her fingers quickly before continuing. “Is that Fantasy Prada?”

Taako looks like he’s about to spontaneously combust, but Merle and Magnus are going red in their desperation to contain their laughter.

“Uh, it’s - it’s a part of my body, I guess, technically,” he says. “In that, like, I’m a magical construct.”

Lup hums and nods. “Well, it really accentuates – uh, your bones. Which, again, I know I said this, but they’re very attractive bones. And I don’t just say that to any old skeleton.”

“Uh,” Somehow the red robe manages to look confused and intimidated, even with no face. “Lup, are you – are you hitting on me?”

She shrugs, flipping the umbrella over her shoulder. “Maybe. And if I was?”

“Well, I – uh, I’m flattered, but -” He backs away slowly as Lup advances on him. “Look, if I was in my flesh body, you know -”

“Oh, a flesh body, huh?” She says, turning to her brother. “Told you he’d have a dick, Taako. It’s just not attached to him right now.”

Magnus emits a high-pitched whine, even with his mouth clamped shut. Merle has already collapsed, slapping a hand over his face to keep from laughing.

“What?” The red robe says. “You - why were you talking about my dick?”

“I’m leaving! I’m calling a cannonball right now! I don’t want to listen to another fucking word of this!” Taako mashes the button on bracer, but there’s no response. Evidently, the red robe’s spell affects their tech, too. He groans and clamps his hands over his ears, squeezing his eyes tight shut.

“Look, mister red robe, I just thought you might wanna,” Lup leans in conspiratorially, resting her weight on the umbra staff, which (very intentionally) has the added advantage of giving him a great view of her cleavage, “get some drinks? Tonight?”

The red robe looks away, and Lup digs it. She likes a man who’ll respect her modesty, even when she kinda doesn’t want him to. “Uh, I don’t - I can’t actually drink. It just, uh, goes straight through me. And I don’t mean that like, in the normal way, I mean it just drips out the bottom of my skull and makes a puddle on the ground.”

“Well, we could always just hang. You know. See the sights. Have a chat.”

“Uh, Lup, I don’t think -”

“Listen, honestly? I thought you were hot before my brother and my boss told me I wasn’t allowed to fuck you. And now? You’re absolutely scorching, okay? Plus, Taako’s gonna be so mad if I permanently out-goth him with an undead boyfriend.” She gives him her best puppy-dog eyes. She’s never met anyone who can resist those eyes, and she’s determined that this ghost isn’t gonna be the first. “Please?”

“Uh, okay,” he squeaks, in a very high-pitched voice for a scary ghost. “Where?”

Lup grins at Taako, mouthing, that’s how it’s done. “I’ll meet you outside Neverwinter? At eight?”

“Sure!” He says, sounding like he’d agree to pretty much anything to get out of this situation. “I’ll see you there bye!”

And he disappears in a column of flame.

Magnus and Merle immediately dissolve in laughter. Avi unfreezes, and blinks at them. “What? What?”

“I hope you boys were taking notes,” Lup says, a shit-eating grin on her face. “Cos I’m out here teaching a fucking masterclass.”

[katra-aracnai-caenis-cv]

It had been several months since moving to Creatorverse, and Katra still had no idea what to make of it. Besides a brief appearance in a now-cancelled tournament, she hadn't seen much of the city.

When Nobody, her new...room-mate? Mentor? The woman was rather evasive on anything specific. In any case, when it became clear she lacked much in the way of food and drink for physical beings, she leapt on the chance for a grocery run.

"How much did she give us again?"

"No clue." Katra sighed as she walked on her way back home. She held about six bags comfortably filled with whatever looked good. She didn't have any favourite foods really - her diet had usually been strictly controlled. "The card went through okay, so it seems all legitimate. But no ATM gives me a clear number."

"Wonder where she gets the money. Assassination work seems like her thing."

"If she were an assassin, we'd be dead." Katra reminded her spectral companion. Gold was more docile since the tournament., perhaps taking Nobody's advice on working together to heart. Or perhaps just biding her time before something big. Katra tried not to question it. "She's not after our bounty."

"He wouldn't be the first assassin to not kill you. Remember thar catboy you like?"

"Yukimi's an exception." She took a few more moments to register what her companion had said. "A-and I don't like him, okay?! Stop s-saying that." Gold barked out a laugh that Katra chose to ignore.

Which became rather simple to do when it was abruptly cut off.

"Oh hey, it works!" Katra spun, turning to an alley where she saw...herself? A grinning mirror image of her holding what looked like some kind of remote. "Soul interference sure is handy, huh? Betcha your friend's all quiet now! You're welcome!"

Katra dropped her shopping bags immediately, tensing and readying herself for movement. "Who are you?!" She demanded, sounding perhaps more desperate for an answer than she would've liked.

"I'm you, silly!" The doppelganger insisted. "And him, and her, and them. I'm whoever I need to be! But since that's unhelpful, let's go with Avi for now." It bowed theatrically. If this were an assassin, she suspected it was of the deranged actor variety. Surprisingly common in her experience.

"Deranged? How rude!" The doppelganger pouted. "I come out all this way only for you to criticise me in your head? Not cool." It shook its head. Katra's body shook in turn.

"You read minds?"

"Somebody does, and I'm everybody!" Avi extended its arms out as it spoke gleefully. "People have all sorts of powers in this city, and I have a taste of a lot of 'em. I only have your looks on the outside though. Can't get more until later."

"What happens later?" Katra took a fighting stance, expecting the answer. She wasn't ready for Avi to move faster than any eye of hers could blink, however.

"It'll be more fun to show you...!" Katra barely had time to turn before her vision was eclipsed with black. There was a piercing pain in her head, presumably from an attack. She couldn't tell.

Everything went dark.

.

..

...

...

"Katra? Pick up, please. I can't seem to reach you any other way and this infernal contraption is annoying at best."

"You're not there, are you? Dammit. Now I have to make some more calls."

.

..

...

Katra's phone sat in the street, it's power draining and cracked screen flickering.

She couldn't hear it.

She was busy listening to them.

"The subject has been obtained successfully, director." A muffled man's voice. It sounded low and strange, as though it was speaking without a mouth. She couldn't see anything.

"Excellent work, Doctor McGee. Your pet project has outdone itself." A woman's voice, strong and firm. Yet there was somehow also a weightless quality to it. It floated to your ears yet demanded your attention. "The data acquired from the primary target was helpful, then?"

"Yup!" Her own voice. Familiar yet alien. "The whole Z and P incident worked wonders! Now we know exactly how to deal with soul interference. I'd thank them, but I don't think they like me." It sounded almost sad about that for a moment.

"Their favour is not required, Avi." The woman said calmly, comforting the doppelganger. "Only the results matter in an experiment. Opinions are irrelevant."

"You're just sayin' that!" Katra heard her own mouth stick it's tongue out playfully. "Probably jut 'Cause she'd hate this, right Vo-" Katra tried not to flinch and thus give away her consciousness as she heard a sharp gasp escape the doppelganger, followed by a metallic impact.

"Call me director, pest." She could feel there were eyes on her as the voice spoke again.

"After all, you never know who's listening."

Katra struggled against it, but a hint of a whimper escaped her mouth unwillingly.

Screams came next.

[avoidednullspace]

(NEW COPYPASTA YALL) (also tw for blood and dismemberment) I was taking a walk across the city, when I found a USB drive on the road, and it was 500GB. It had no label. I wondered what it had, so being the "Mr. Curious Man" I was, I picked it up, and took it home.I inserted the USB drive into my laptop. It had one .rar file, and it was 16GB in the USB drive. It was named "DeadPrinter.rar". I extracted the .rar file, and I looked in it, and it only had one file, and it was named "DeadPrinter.avi". I looked to see what the file's size is, and... WHAT!? Only 10 Megabytes!? "Why so much wasted space!?" I yelled. How is this folder 16 gigabytes, when the file inside it had only 10 Megabytes!? But despite that huge amount of wasted space, I played the .avi file, and Windows Media Player popped up.To my surprise, it was Object Terror.It started out with the normal intro you'd see in Episode 3 and onwards, but at the end, the hosts of Object Terror (Printer and Computer) were never seen, not even the new intern (Honey). After the intro, there was 45 seconds of static, and then it showed a picture that I couldn't see at first, because the video quality was horrible. But after 15 seconds, the image began to clear up, and so did the video quality. I then realized what the picture was. It was a photo of Printer (the primary host) dead, with no eyes, mouth open, and no limbs. A pool of blood was forming under him. This picture went on screen for 42 seconds, before it went to black. I thought that the file ended here, but when I looked on the timeline, I was wrong.It said that there's more, and the black screen lasted for 9 minutes, and I can't stand waiting for 9 minutes, so I played on my 2DS just to kill time.After 4 minutes, I stopped playing on my 2DS, and just when I was about to skip ahead..."AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"An ear-piercing scream erupted out of nowhere, shaking up the whole house. I mean, if I was in a cartoon, it would shake up the world! I jolted, looked at my laptop volume, and it said that it was 10%, when the scream was up to 100% volume! I was confused, seeing as how I didn't adjust my laptop volume, so I kept on waiting for 5 more minutes. After 5 minutes of waiting, text appeared, and it said:"In Memory OfPrinter, Host of Object Terror2016-2019"The file ended there.After that, I got the infamous BSoD. After I rebooted my laptop, I looked at my C:/ Drive, and it was whipped clean and formatted. This made me really angry, because not only had I lost my pictures I just collected, but I also lost all my stuff! My C:/ Drive was not the only device that got formatted. Even the USB drive was formatted. So I'm sorry that there's no video just like Red Mist, suicidemouse.avi, and fudd.wmv.What I did manage to do, however, was take two screenshots of the file. If you ever see a strange USB drive on the road, leave it there. That's where it belongs.UPDATE: A 13 year old who lives not too far away from me found the USB drive that had the file, but he didn't get a BSoD after the file ended, nor did he have his C:/ Drive or the USB drive formatted. So he put the file on his C:/ Drive and put it up on his website that was only up for about 4 months before it got taken down.

[fedonciadale]

What i absolutely hate about wot is Rand and his harem at the end and all three women are okay with it? Lmao.. be realistic. No woman can happily share her man. I can guarantee you this. They can compromise at most. And lets be real we all know the actual one person for him was Min. The other two were extremely unnecessary. Like what was the need? Absolutely none.

Hi there!

I know what you mean. If it were a real polycule.... But it's not written like that. It's written like a male fantasy. Hero has a blonde, a redhead and a dark haired girlfriend. And let's not talk about Rand getting twins with Elayne and quadruplets with Aviendha, because obviously his sperm is that good. 🙄 (just as an aside: I headcanon that the quadruplets never happen because Avi decided to change the future...)

I wouldn't even have minded if they all had a fling with Rand but this whole sharing is so forced and feels completely unnatural even if you cut RJ some slack for not being able to write Romance.

And they are o.k. with sharing because it's destiny? Elayne and Aviendha who basically spend their time trying to change things?

And who told them it is destiny? Min! Hello?

In addition to all that, all three are 100% certain that Rand would never hurt them. I mean Rand is the fellow who is the reincarnation of the character who is known world-wide for killing his whole family the last time he was around and went mad. I mean, I certainly get why they all tell Rand they trust him, but they don't ever have doubts? When his two best friends worry all the time when Rand will lose his mind and if it might be just a tad bit unsafe to stay near a man who can call lightning from the sky and might decide to hurl it? Even if he would have no intention of hurting someone, any of his gfs could still be collateral damage. I mean it is not as if nobody ever dies near Rand. I really think that the whole “The Dragon Reborn” is someone who should frighten people is not really thought through in the case of the three girls. Let them doubt, at least once in a while.

I agree that of all the three women, Min seems to be the one who works best with him, but only on the surface. If you look closer she only works because her character is basically molded to whatever is needed. ...

I must admit that when I first read the books, I was convinced that Elayne would be the one to get him because it looked like she was Ilyena reborn, and their meet-cute scene in the first book is still somewhat adorable. But then she just flirts a bit with him, and she is head over heels without knowing him AT ALL. And then she has a one-night stand because the others had too. And she still doesn’t know him.... And then there is her obsession with bonding him. WHY? Why would she want to bond a man who is destined to become mad? And who is the Dragon Reborn in addition? A bond with Rand is such a liability (as we actually see in the last book!)

Whatever RJ meant when he wrote Elayne’s story with Aviendha, it works far better as a romance and is about ten times as moving as Elayne’s story with Rand.

I actually think that Aviendha is the one of the three who would be o.k. with sharing because that fits her culture. Up until the end I hoped that Min would be unmasked as a fraud who only told the others about the sharing bit because she actually knew that Rand would never choose her if pressed. lol.

O.k. Now prepare for my rant.... Min.... If you like her just skip everything between the stars.

***

I know she is a fan favourite but I never understood why. Apart from the fall of Siuan Sanche she is never needed for the plot. Everything she sees could be learned some other way: Karatheon cycle, Dreamwalkers, Foretelling, Perrin’s wolfdream, whatever. She is a gnc girl and suddenly decides to doll herself up for Rand. Why? She learns knife throwing but only off screen, she becomes a philosopher and scholar in the blink of an eye, just because she picked up one book (that’s not how you become an equal partner for Loial, a hundred year old Ogier who’s done little else but read books, sry, not sry). I absolutely hate how she chased Egwene away from Rand. That was super manipulating and mean.  She basically stalks Rand - something that makes him uncomfortable - until they finally fall in bed. And then she’s there to be his emotional support gf but even in that she is not good enough. It’s not her who makes Rand have his big revelation on Dragonmount (it’s not Cadsuane either although at least that is Cadsuane’s aim). At other events she is there to be the damsel in distress and give Rand manpain and make him push the boundaries of his abilities. Is there even a reason she is kidnapped with Rand in book six instead of just killed by Galina, who after all is Black Ajah? TLDR: I just don’t like her and if the show would have just left her out I would not have shed a single tear.

***

So, as it is I don’t like the love square or whatever (the author definitely did not write it as a polycule, although it is fun to read that into the text). It remains to be seen what they’ll do with it in the show. If they decide to let Elayne and Aviendha fall in love as well it would already be much better.

I wouldn’t mind if Elayne/Aviendha became a thing and Rand stayed with Min. That would make the most sense, if you ask me. But then I dislike most canon ships in WoT, and I must admit that I don’t really ship Rand with anyone.

Thanks for the ask!

⤷ Day 4: Atsumu Miya + friends to lovers

Synopsis: you’re in love with your roommate and best friend, Atsumu Miya... and maybe he feels the same way too

Word Count: 839

Pairing: Atsumu Miya x fem!reader

Fluffvember Masterlist

When you decided to move in with the idiot Miya Twin, you knew your life would be full of messy nights and unintentional babysitting.

But you didn’t expect the nights where he would fall asleep next to you while watching a movie, his face the gentlest of expressions. You also didn’t expect the days where he would return home from practice only to have picked you up some mochi despite his exhaustion. Perhaps that is why you had fallen in love with the idiot Miya Twin, because he always was more than that.

So even as you were picking up his sweaty jersey off the living room floor of your shared apartment, you couldn’t help but grin at the surrealness of it all.

Your best friend was currently playing one of the biggest matches of the season and you had chosen not to go despite his desperate pleas because you had to study for a huge exam coming up.

You could envision your setter’s determined face as he set the ball to Hinata with perfect timing because of all the previous games you’ve been to in the past.

After cleaning up Atsumu’s mess and tidying up your own bedroom, you check your phone to see 7:00pm reflecting off the screen. Atsumu should’ve been done by now but knowing him, his team won and they were going out for drinks. You heaved a sigh and prepared yourself for drunk Atsumu, the worst of them all.

Another hour passed before the door creaked open and a sloppy looking Atsumu wobbled in only to meet your stern face with a cup of water in hand. His face lifted into a dopey smile and moved to embrace you before you placed a hand in front of his chest, halting him in an open-armed position.

“Water first,” you said, your voice demanding and full of control and he obliges, taking the cup of water from your hand and gulping it down with ease.

But this Atsumu wasn’t like the other wild and irresponsible drunk Atsumus you’ve faced. This one was gentler, calmer, and a bit subtler with his advances.

You snap out of your daze and make your way to the kitchen to make him a sandwich to soak up the alcohol. You’re rummaging through the fridge when you feel a familiar hand on your waist. You’re yelping as you turn around to face a strange looking Atsumu in front of you.

Atsumu pins his hands on either sides of your head, trapping you in your spot between him and the now closed fridge.

“Do you like me?” He asks, eyebrows furrowing and you almost think he’s being serious.

Instead, you’re lightly pushing against his chest and smiling nervously, “ok lover boy, you can kabedon me another time.”

But Atsumu stays firm, refusing to let you go until you’ve answered his question.

“I’m being serious—“

“You’re drunk…”

“But these feelings are real!” Atsumu blurts out.

You’re not sure what to say as you search his eyes for any sign of insincerity. When you can’t find a trace of it, you drop your hands and let him continue.

“Fuck all the hiding. You think I haven’t noticed all the times you’ve cleaned up my messes or made me dinner when I couldn’t even pick myself up from practice. Or even the times you cheered me on at matches regardless of how busy you were…” he trails on, “and it killed me that you didn’t come see me win today.”

You didn’t realize how hard it had become to breathe until he finished his rant. Atsumu has never been this transparent with you in his life. Sure, he’s told you things here and there, being his best friend and all, but this was something entirely different.

“And what if I said yes, I do like you?” You ask in barely a whisper.

“Then I’d never let you go,” he responds in the same volume and you know he’s about to pass out, which he does.

You lug his 6’2, 177lb body onto the nearby couch with whatever strength you could muster (and it took you awhile yes, but you got there) and laid a blanket over him.

He really does look so innocent and adorable when he’s asleep and you couldn’t help but think about his words tonight. You know this boy like the back of your hand and you know that the way he acted tonight was genuine.

You kneel down to level with him and plant a kiss on his forehead, “guess what tsumu? I do love you. Sweet dreams.”

BONUS: you awoke to a very cocky Atsumu boasting about how he remembered the whole thing and that it was all part of his meticulous plan to get you to confess… and it worked! You roll your eyes as he proceeds with a diabolical laugh and trudge out of bed to make breakfast. What you wouldn’t do to shut this boy up. Good thing you love him and yes, he loves you too.

But after 15 seconds, the image began to clear up, and so did the video quality. I then realized what the picture was. It was a photo of Printer (the primary host) dead, with no eyes, mouth open, and no limbs. A pool of blood was forming under him. This picture went on screen for 42 seconds, before it went to black. I thought that the file ended here, but when I looked on the timeline, I was wrong.It said that there's more, and the black screen lasted for 9 minutes, and I can't stand waiting for 9 minutes, so I played on my 2DS just to kill time.After 4 minutes, I stopped playing on my 2DS, and just when I was about to skip ahead..."AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"An ear-piercing scream erupted out of nowhere, shaking up the whole house. I mean, if I was in a cartoon, it would shake up the world! I jolted, looked at my laptop volume, and it said that it was 10%, when the scream was up to 100% volume! I was confused, seeing as how I didn't adjust my laptop volume, so I kept on waiting for 5 more minutes. After 5 minutes of waiting, text appeared, and it said:"In Memory OfPrinter, Host of Object Terror2016-2019"The file ended there.After that, I got the infamous BSoD. After I rebooted my laptop, I looked at my C:/ Drive, and it was whipped clean and formatted. This made me really angry, because not only had I lost my pictures I just collected, but I also lost all my stuff! My C:/ Drive was not the only device that got formatted. Even the USB drive was formatted. So I'm sorry that there's no video just like Red Mist, suicidemouse.avi, and fudd.wmv.What I did manage to do, however, was take two screenshots of the file. If you ever see a strange USB drive on the road, leave it there. That's where it belongs.UPDATE: A 13 year old who lives not too far away from me found the USB drive that had the file, but he didn't get a BSoD after the file ended, nor did he have his C:/ Drive or the USB drive formatted. So he put the file on his C:/ Drive and put it up on his website that was only up for about 4 months before it got taken down.

hello everyone! welcome to what will hopefully become the first in a series i’m doing for Escape the Night, a YouTube Web Series by Joey Graceffa. this is gonna be something new, i think, but presented in a Mad Rambles styles. 

so in essence; welcome back to another episode of Mad Rambles. 

i’ll start at the beginning. when first intorduced me to my series is the ideas presented to me by two seperate fanfictions linked at the end. these two became a source of inspiration for my own fics. i’ve yet to truly decide what i want to do with them, but i know the basics. below is a list of characters. 

The Host:

the idea i had was essentially presenting me with what if the contestants had known from the beginning that they didn’t have to be the sacrifices, but the first time, they failed. they hadn’t anticipated the betrayal, they fell to their own human instincts. they still regret it to this day.

the second time, the contestants where more prepared, but the Enchantress didn’t allow for “cheating” so they failed again.

the third time, their monster was encased in amber. this time, they had two puzzle-solvers that didn’t let themselves fail. they still failed, someone betrayed them and the others where lost until only three remained.

the fourth time, they used the gem and the new-found abilities of the Survivors to go to Purgatory and retrieve their fallen friends. in the end, a single sacrifice was made. The Collector would release the Contestants of the games, but in return she wanted something of equal value.

so they had to find something of equal value. the thing they found was the artifacts of the Mansion, the Victorian Manor, and the Circus. the things that got their friends killed.

the point is, they get their friends back.

let me know if you want to keep going. I can also go on about the ships I've got.

thank you!!

WHG 15 - Day 1

As the podiums rise up into the arena, the tributes are greeted with a forest of mutant plants. The trees have either silver or gold leaves, black vines are visibly growing up the trees and on the ground, and there are flowers that randomly burst into fire or ice and then back to regular. The herbs and poisonous plants that the tributes studied are the same, however. The Cornucopia is in the middle of a clearing, stuffed with supplies and weapons, and there are a few supplies radiating out of the Cornucopia. The countdown ends, and the bloodbath begins!

Volt starts out the Games with a bullseye, much to Arthur’s dismay. And Ellery starts the Games off with a bang! Sean really wants Syl’s supplies, and Rabban gets stabbed with a deadly tree branch. Most people make the smart choice to run away, but Avi and Enzo find explosives, Erin finds a first aid kit, and Reine and Ash work together to fish later! A fun way to start!

Reine decided to abandon the fishing idea and instead thinks it’s a great idea to join with the two tributes who have explosives and another tribute who has already killed someone, just to hunt for other tributes. RJ tries to up her kill count, but Aerith has other plans. RIP RJ. 

Already five deaths on the first day.

A lot of characters not able to start fires here. Erin somehow procures a spear off-screen, and she uses it effectively. Other than that, an uneventful night.

51, 61, and 69 for the d&d character ask~

For my current DnD character, a human enby kensei named Yinbo:

all these are so soft wtf Reid how dare

51) what is the most beautiful thing in the world, for them?

We already know they get up really early, and that's why they like to take second watch. They'd get up early anyway because they have warm up and maintenance exercises to run through, but I think a fringe benefit is that they genuinely enjoy the sunrise. It's beautiful, and symbolic. They like views, too. Being off the ground in a tree or on a roof changes perspective, and when it's high enough to see out over the land or the city or the forest, there's a beautiful vastness to it, too.

Those are the Big Things that are beautiful to them, but they find little things beautiful, too.

61) what kind of flower would they choose to pick from a meadow?

I don't know that they would unless they had a reason for it. Something smaller and simpler, I think. Though if I remember correctly, one interaction happened entirely off screen beginning to end--

The druid grove we stopped at (a moment of peace in the middle of a jungle that very actively tried to kill us)--Yinbo sneakily picked a flower there (after very quietly asking permission) and pressed it in their journal. After we got back to Imyeth Ancalan (the nearest, beautiful, safe, wonderful city), they found a craftsman family of woodelves--the Vernalas--and asked to learn how to preserve the flower in resin and make a pendant. They gave that to Kalea (our water genasi Circle of Shepherd druid who is a living ray of sunshine and basically Yinbo's sister).

69) how would they describe their party members?

Trouble.

No but really I'm going to just do one word for each to keep it simple.

Salem: Strong. Trying. Fighting?

Fiori: Flighty.

Kalea: Precious.

Avi: Charismatic. Compassionate. Wise.

Salem and Avi have vibes that don't do well in one word. As for the party, I think it's broadly more "reliable". They're getting better about leaning on them, asking for help, and acknowledging they'll even receive it.

[overdramatic-queer-antagonist]

Got caught up on TAZ and my brain said angst.

When Magnus died, Carey screamed and yelled and fought and sobbed. She was the loudest in her grieving because they didn't get it. This wasn’t Magic Brian or Boyland; it was Magnus, her best friend, and he was gone. She cried into her girlfriend. Allowing herself to be consoled. And then there was a crash. There was an unseen attacker. So she got up and fought. She sobbed and screamed and fought and yelled, but for a reason now. Carey rushes in.

When Magnus died, Killian didn’t believe it. Magnus was so strong, so powerful in so many ways. How could he have died? It was impossible. This strong, kind man. What could possibly kill Magnus? She comforted her girlfriend who was in too much grief to ponder this question. Who? What? Why? Eventually, the sick feeling settled in. That not even Magnus was invincible. And then there was a crash. She didn’t believe it. But it hardly mattered at the moment. Killian rushes in.

When Magnus died, NO-3113 felt an awful nostalgia. She felt so sympathetic to Magnus. From the way Taako and Merle said it, it sounded like it happened in the middle of the battle. She sat on her bed that she didn’t need and fell into her newly remembered memories. The fire, the man, dying, waking up in the Astral Plane. She was so scared and confused. Was Magnus as afraid as she was? She felt the breath she didn’t have quicken. Oh gods, Phandalin. It was so loud. And then there was a crash. And NO-3113 felt an awful nostalgia. The world was ending again, but this time she wasn’t gonna let it. NO-3113 rushes in.

When Magnus died, Avi took a swig from his flask. He didn’t even go back to his room; he just sat in the hanger staring at the screen that would tell him when someone hailed an orb. He took another swig. No one was out. He took another swig. He just hoped he’d see it. He took another swig. He hoped he was hallucinating. He took another swig. Maybe some of Pringles’s stash got in his flask. He took another swig. Maybe he’d wake up in the morning and this'd all be a nightmare. He took another swig. And then he heard Magnus yelling “Help!” He thought he was drunk but it was worth a shot. He took one final swig and got in an orb. Avi rushes in.

When Magnus died, Johann played his music. He wasn’t too concerned with how good the music was. He kept telling himself he had to feed the voidfish, it was his job, it didn’t have to be good. His mind wandered to the voidfish. It seemed to like Magnus. Did it know what happened? Could it even comprehend it? Was it mourning? As he pondered his hands wandered to the piece he’d been working on before he’d gotten the news. The March of The Forgotten. And then Johann died too. And he saw what was happening, he heard his music playing to everyone. He said a silent thank you to Magnus for making sure they wouldn't forget. And, in a way, Johann played his music. He knows they can’t see him but he’s there with all his friends. And just like them. Johann rushes in.

When Magnus died, Angus wanted to know the truth. He was also furious. Why? Why did this shit keep happening to him? He was seething with rage. He knew Magnus would laugh at him, he wanted him to. He wanted Magnus to grab his book out of his hands and play catch with the others over his head. He wanted to be mad at Magnus instead of the world. He wanted Magnus to be here. Why wasn’t Magnus here? He used to love The Director but watching her go around, business, as usual, made him so angry. He remembered a joke that Magnus made about drawing on the relics orbs before their destruction. He didn’t actually distrust The Director. In a fit of rage, he drew that star on the orb. But then it came back, and the star was gone. He marched his way to The Director’s office. Why would she do this? Why? He put his anger aside to solve this mystery. He hesitated at the vault door, he could just walk away, but he wanted answers. Angus rushes in.

When Magnus died, The Director was sad but Lucretia was broken. At first, Lucretia didn’t think much about it. She’d heard those words before, “Magnus is dead” “Barry is dead” Davenport, Merle, Lup, Taako. It never stuck. Why would it stick now? But then Merle and Taako were so sad and she remembered what she did. She remembered that it was gonna stick. After the Animus Bell was “disposed” of she sat in her private quarters and sobbed. No one was there to comfort her. Her family was gone. And she got rid of them herself. She never liked being alone. The Director, the part she played for years, lost an employee, but Lucretia lost her family. Again. And then she heard the alarm and she knew. She didn’t know how, but she knew. They were going to remember. They were going to be so, so mad. They were going to try to stop her. The Director was afraid but Lucretia was ecstatic. They were going to remember her. They were going to be mad but they’d be mad at their family. They were going to try to stop her and whatever happened, they’d win in the end. Lucretia rushes in.
