Oh my god my brain hurts

Maggie has a poster in her shop (41:37, s02e02) that says "Who is Piet Hein?"

"Piet Hein, who, in his own words, "played mental ping-pong" with Niels Bohr[2] in the inter-War period, found himself confronted with a dilemma when the Germans occupied Denmark. He felt that he had three choices: Do nothing, flee to neutral Sweden or join the Danish resistance movement. As he explained in 1968, "Sweden was out because I am not Swedish, but Danish. I could not remain at home because, if I had, every knock at the door would have sent shivers up my spine. So, I joined the Resistance."[3]

The poster seems to say something about "Even the woman he loved could not run from the strange [blocked] cunning behaviour [blocked] cunning Man [blocked]."

IT"S EVERYWHEREEE

Quick question — how old is IM!Mugs supposed to be? Cuz in my mind he's IM!Cup's twin (even tho they're really not), yet I vividly remember this point in The Labyrinth Arc™ where IM!Cup is reminiscing about their parents and through his memory we're shown he was at the youngest a toddler when IM!Mugs was born, maybe even a little older (my headcannon is that he was 5 years old, but to each their own)

So yea. I'm very curious now (it WILL affect a story I'm making. probably at least)

It was so funny to follow everyone's theories before seeing the reveal as someone who has no trust in Marvel's easter egg abilities. Like I knew there would be a reveal that put everything together and would make sense but I didn't think every little discrepancy meant something bc sometimes marvel is just stupid. But I also thought every little discrepancy COULD mean something! I saw a theory about how Billy called Sharon "Sharon Davis" when Agatha was pretending to be possessed by her but no one should have known that was her name. She only ever told Agatha she was Sharon Davis and Agatha never remembered and the rest of them only heard Mrs. Hart and Sharon so they should have assumed her name was Sharon Hart. And when I read that I was like wow that's a really good point!!! However it's definitely the kind of thing marvel themselves wouldn't notice. And guess what! It was a marvel screw up 💔

I'm just thinking that Uraume is a great cook, but the real masterpieces are made up of people. I understand that Sukuna will be a little uncomfortable eating people's kebabs (that usually scares teenagers, you know). BUT. The moral mobility of His Evil Majesty's mentality simply says to me: Find the enemy, and the big guy will finally get a nice meal. He worked so hard, he deserves dinner. ("Fu_k, Marry, Eat" game. Start). SO. ONE DAY. People tempura — yes or no? How much Curse is in our King?

Uraume is indeed a great cook, ridiculously even lol

- I mean afaik it's canon that, whilst human meat is supposedly difficult to prepare well, they managed to do it; which is one of the main reasons why Sukuna kept them around aside from the fact that they're a powerful sorcerer lol

(he most probably liked the unaltered taste by itself too (he did in my Series Canon for sure), but Uraume made it additionally enjoyable - so for Mr. I Do What I Want it was definitely a unique plus lol)

As for SIkuna eating people, hmm

Although he's pretty deeply in denial about it, he doesn't actually directly feel anything negative at the prospect

(as showed in Part 4, he actually found the little taste of Yuji's blood he got by accident ridiculously enjoyable, if in terms of Identity Issues and 'Ah Shit That's The Kid's Blood' extremely distressing as well. What a fun combination)

- it's Everything Else around it that makes him uneasy; like the fact that he Knows It's Wrong, The Kids Would Most Freaking Likely Not Like it, and just overall the Character Dissonance he feels about it all

because how the fuck can he be a protective inner marshmallow that would just like to hug the kids, and give them headpats, and heal their wounds, and just overall take care of them as best as he can 🥺

and someone that gets absolutely freaking giddy at the idea and acts of violence and bloodshed (as long as it doesn't involve Some People but especially if it involves Other Ones) at the same time y'know?

(sorry bro, you're not gonna get any less contradictory anytime soon if ever - have fun being yourself, whatever that means, lol

Complex characterisation and all that ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ)

But returning to the topic; I won't say anything about further down the timeline

(he might, he might not, who knows, probably not in a way that would upset the kids too much if anything but ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯)

but there is this one particular, hm, person that would fit all boxes in terms of being a mostly guiltless but still tasty snack, though not as tasty as possible, who miight be meeting him relatively soon (how??)

- and SIkuna wouldn't even need to break any promises with Yuji (oop spoiler 👀) to indeed have a spooky snack!

So, before anything as sophisticated as tempura - there may be moreso sashimi :] *HeeHee HoHo's a bit as lighting strikes in the background and I comically jump in surprise because wtf the sky's clear-????*

Huh.

Just noticed one of the books JimBriel is using as a flyswat in ep2 when the archangels come to interrogate Aziraphale is the "Wicked Bible".

We KNOW Aziraphale loves his rare bible editions. Why in the absolute fuck is it so dusty???

Previous cut it wasn't dusty, so might be the opposite book was dusty, but like. That's an ASSLOAD of dust?!

Banks being directly inspired both in design and musical theme by the noire detective genre.... Jen being a straight-up Private Investigator and Detective......

Hey! You mentioned a while back that if the other dimension Dipper/Mabel/Ford might call the penthouse for advice in dealing with their Bill, and Familiar!Dipper might pick up the "call". I've been rereading the Bill v Bill series and can't get the scene out of my head. Any chance you'd be interested in writing it?

I'm certainly interested in writing it! I think there's a lot of opportunity for Shenanigans, and that's totally my jam.

The problem is: Actually Getting Around to writing it. But perhaps one day!

OMG THERE'S GONNA BE A NEW DETECTIVE GRIMOIRE GAME!!!! WHEN WAS I GONNA LEARN ABOUT THIS?!

More Selkie AU >:D

Selkie Courtship:

Selkies value community and connection, so it's important that if they're courting someone they need to know who they are since selecting a mate is making lifelong commitment.

Must be said, the grandest gesture of love and trust for a selkie is to give their mate possession of their pelt when shifted, so they must make sure they are the right choice.

When the decision is made, a selkie will bring gifts to their chosen one; catching their favorite fish or a large squid is a particularly fond gesture, pretty and rare stones, seashells or pearls for decorations, or anything they might like -human chosen ones (usually fishermen or related) may be helped with their catches or gifted treasures lost in shipwrecks.

Selkies are commonly very tactile lovers and will smother their one with touches, hugs and any kind of contact from the early stages. It's one common way of letting others know about the courting.

Pre-mating playful banter includes rolling, bubble-blowing, and mouthing each other's necks and flippers, vocal displays, chasing, embracing, growling, head-thrusting, and flipper-waving.

Copulation usually takes place in water.

It has become way less common, but if there are multiple claimings over a chosen one the contendants may choose to fight instead of out-wooing their rival (usually with the fighting done at the end of the courting) with the chosen one having the ultimate say on who they choose.

Although courtship with humans is not encouraged (does not tend to end well for the selkie), it is not forbidden. Should it happen, the selkie will be shy to start with; watching their human from the safety of the water. Later trying to interact on land without their pelt to get to know them. As previously said, connection is important, and the selkie will only pursue and start the courting if they feel they know their human well enough to tell if their seal skin will be safe.

All this is only needed for courting, as opposed to just sleeping around as a one-off -habit of some selkie-folk, venturing inland to seek out “unsatisfied lovers”.

The tales of unmarried humans trapped into selkie marriages by picking up their pelts are poorly heard conversations. The actual occurrence is the ultimate rite of passage between selkie-human courting; the selkie dropping their pelt and allowing their human to grab it and give it back.

The connection of a mated pair (or pod) is strong enough to allow them to sense their one/s, as if having an internal compass to guide them in their general direction.

Some ways to symbolize their relationship is wearing silken thread around the ring finger, necklaces made of twin shells (often collected during courtship) or really anything that can be worn by the people involved that can hold meaning for them.

Weddings are small ceremonies held by one of the elders of the family, with a witness chosen by each participant, usually close friends to the mating pair.

Homosexual courting is completely normal and always accepted as a possibility.
