#But there's something chewy there

[epersonae]

Leg hurty thoughts for the ask meme, if you haven't answered it already!

This is another one where all I have is a paragraph:

Shot. And first thought is, taking a long time to get him thrown over the side. Shot and then tossed overboard, faster than keelhauling at least. That's the last coherent thought for a while.

While I was laying waiting for surgery, full of Dilaudid and still in a lot of pain (at one point my stretcher got hit by a door accidentally, and WOW DID THAT HURT), I kept thinking about Jim and Archie getting ready to cut off Izzy's leg*, and then later thinking about the weird things your brain does in pain and on strong painkillers, and all the metas about Izzy's arc, and what feels like a gap there, and also how he's an unreliable narrator almost to the very end imho, and the whole thing gave me this (to me) insane urge to write Izzy POV. If I do it, I need it to be fucked up, I need him to be horrible and confused and wrong, or right for the wrong reasons. I honestly don't know if I'll write it, but this is sort of where I'm at with the idea:

* "definitely the fucked up one" kept going through my head every time someone checked in to make sure which leg they were operating on

Transcript:

Noemí, Erick, and Ángel: Dulce!!

Noemí: Mija, you did wonderful.

Erick: You were amazing.

Erick: Look at our baby girl.

Noemí: You must be so tired after all that! Let’s go home.

Dulce: Am��, Dad, how can you guys be so happy right now? I didn’t win.

Noemí: Dulce, that doesn’t matter. We’re glad you got to experience this wonderful opportunity. You came and gave it your all, so of course we’re beaming with pride.

Erick: [Gets down at Dulce’s eye-level] Sweetie, look at me. I know you’re upset, but it’s like what your mother said: This was an amazing opportunity. Not everyone got accepted, but you did. They saw something in you, and who wouldn’t? My daughter is phenomenal.

Dulce: I guess so.. huh? Thank you, everyone.

...

?: Excuse me, I don’t mean to interrupt.

Mia: Hello Mrs. and Mr. Alegria. I‘m Mia D‘Angelo-Ramirez, the main judge of Diced Junior. Your daughter is quite remarkable. Can I please have a quick word with her?

Noemí: Oh! Yes, please, go ahead.

Dulce: Oh, are you here to give me more advice?

Mia: No, only words of encouragement. I don’t want you to think we only said that nice stuff for the cameras. I snuck away from the table just now to let you know that I truly believe you’ll make it big in this industry.

Mia: I’ll be watching your career closely. Don’t let me down, alright? Be smart with your choices. I have to head back now.

Dulce: You got it.

All that's Left is Aaravos

I realized allasudden that I haven't rolled around in Callum's left-handed possession motif yet, so let's poke it with a stick!

First off, I wrote this meta post about how Viren goes left-handed when Aaravos is directly controlling him some while ago. This is going to be Callum's version.

Let's start way back in the beginning, with the first time Callum cast a dark magic spell:

Callum is right handed - we see him sketching with his right hand - but when he does this dark magic spell, he uses his left. I don't see this as any sort of hard indicator of possession that far back, but he could've cast this spell with either hand, and they chose to animate him doing it with his left. A light bit of foreshadowing about handedness.

The next time this becomes an issue is in S4, when Callum gets possessed by Aaravos, which is only possible because he did cast that spell above. There's some very deliberate mirroring with Callum's and Aaravos's stances and reflections, where right = left. We get to see Aaravos, who is left-handed, deliberately using his right hand so that Callum's left hand is the one that gets used:

Later in S4, Callum tries to drop the Key of Aaravos in the lava with his left hand, but he can't manage it.

Once the Pearl is back in Katolis in S6, Callum has a One Ring-esque staring contest with it and seems to lose:

he immediately starts doing left-handed things near the Pearl:

There's even another left-handed cube moment that gets pretty blatant with its Aaravos coding:

In the moment, it's lighting up because Stella is present. But it's also foreshadowing for Aaravos's trickery with the Pearl switcheroo plan - he's already watching and listening to Callum's secret plan.

When Callum sleepwalks to the dark magic dungeon and picks up the pearl, he reaches to open the painting left handed too:

The shock of being overtaken in his sleep forces Callum to make a new plan for the Pearl, and when he says this line out loud, Aaravos sees some wiggle room for himself:

Aaravos needs the Pearl unswaddled by Callum's anti-magic blankie - which tells me that those stitched spells would have worked, if Callum had the real deal. And he also needs the Pearl defenseless in Katolis. He already has a Pharos-shaped pawn, a blind, human-hating dragon who's about to get his wings healed, and a devastated daughter in need of a new father figure.

All Aaravos needs to do to get his Pearl into Claudia's hands and get free is to trick Callum about which pearl he's really holding. The rest will fall into place like clockwork.

And when the dust of Katolis Castle settles, along with the scorched bones of Sol Regem... all that's left is Aaravos.

Another ask(?) Thingy.

What's your thoughts on Sebastian Solace from Roblox Pressure? My brain is infected with him and the game

Ooooh- I actually did have some thoughts about him.

Ngl, when I first saw them, I had my eyebrows raised and thought, "What is this? Is this what people are into now..?" And straight up thoughts it was a Twitter OC someone made. (Turned out, it wasn't a Twitter OC. But I guess I wasn't wrong about him being someone OC cause I read up some controversy involving people self shipping themselves w him and it made the creator uncomfortable so they ended up making a rule against it and banned people who upload ship art that involves him on a discord server. Didn't help the fact that he's canonically married so there's that. I could be wrong cause idk much about this and saw this on my timeline.)

The more i see them, I honestly could see why people like them. I even saw the full model and yeah- This guy is cool AF actually. I also like how he always had his hands held together like that with his other hands roaming around freely like that. (Also saw his killing animation and again, that shit is rad af.)

Such a polite man honestly. I heard he has his shop in which, Aaw.

The thing that made me sorta surprised was the fact this is from Roblox. I mean, not that surprising. Idk how to describe it. But it like seeing something you didn't pay much attention to and when you look into it, you're like, "Oh fuck, this shit from Roblox? Okay, okay, I see it now."

But yeah, he's really neat and pretty. What a nice lad

Kitty hunt update!

Man did I put in a LOT of applications, and most of them were already adopted by the time I heard back. Buuuuut yesterday an SPCA about an hour away texted me that I could come meet a pair of babies!

They're a 3 month old pair of bonded boys. Both missing an eye, not entirely sure why but the medical records they sent me said they came in with ulceration and swelling of both eyes which sounds like FHV?

They were listed as fearful but the gray boy was definitely a sweetheart, he came right up for pets. The white one was passed out cold the entire time we were there visiting lol. I didn't have the heart to wake him up, he looked so cozy.

We didn't get to meet with an adoption counselor cause they were closing for the day, but the kittens are on hold until monday and we'll go back then to have the meeting. And most likely bring home some babycats!
