#Dubi thinks

[dubiouscrow138]

These are legit all my thoughts and a couple more on the teaser.

BUT

As a person with experience firing single-load black powder muzzlelader rifles, the sights are WACK.

Pistols, now and especially then, are so much worse.

So the fact that Stede is RUNNING and manages to SHOOT the dude he's fighting without flinching, without fighting recoil, and with the gun going off first try?

STUNNING.

In that moment you see his skill growing and it's a fucking beautiful thing. The luck AND the ability. Assuming this dude has not fired a gun before S2 (which would be fair unless he was taught as a kid and likely hated it) the fact everything worked out and the dude went down is AMAZING.

Moving on.

I want to see what happens with Izzy, as well.

A few of the questions I have:

How well will Izzy balance after loosing his toe?? Why did we see him with Stede??? Did he ditch dear ol' Ed in Blackbeard mode after he had a knife thrown past him??? Will we see growth, character and respect and otherwise with Izzy and Stede??? Is he giving Stede lessons???? Is THAT why Stede turned to him all hyped and going "I did a punch!"???? When is Izzy practicing his sword skills with the candles??? Is this a him thing or a helping Stede thing??? How long is he shirtless???

LIKE AHHHHHH

I'm so feral for this. Go wounded me with S2 but this bitch cut to the chase in S1 so I will either be wrecked or overjoyed. Only time will tell.

Welcome to the documentation of hyperfixation, people.

OBLIGATORY COMPLETE OFMD SEASON 2 TEASER THOUGHTS AND SPECULATION POST™

Okay, to start off, I cannot BELIEVE we got this. I cannot BELIEVE we got a voiceover of Stede's note to Ed. We were all thinking it. We were all hoping for it. I CANNOT BELIEVE WE LEGITIMATELY GOT TO SEE AND HEAR HIS LOVE RIGHT OFF THE BAT. HE LOVES HIS ED SO SO MUCH.

Followed by this shot right as Stede is narrating. It's difficult to tell, but it seems like Ed??? The one-armed jacket and the fact that it's layered with Stede's narration makes me quite certain it's him. But ALONE??? AND COMING OUT OF THE SURF??? (There's a shot later that has me PARTICULARLY raising eyebrows at this moment. I'm thinking that he fell off the boat/was lost in that one storm shown later, and Stede of course is going to dive in after him or attempt to get to him in some sort of dramatic way. Which makes me think he and Stede are going to potentially talk feelings/reconcile on the beach)

And the fight choreography of this. Are you actually kidding me right now. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. GETTING TO SEE ED ABSOLUTELY KICKING ASS IN COMBAT??? NEVER IN A THOUSAND YEARS DID I EXPECT TO SEE A SHOT LIKE THIS BUT I'M HOLLERING SO HARD OVER IT (NOT TO MENTION, AGAIN, LOOKING AT THIS AND A LATER SHOT..........I'LL SCREAM ABOUT MY THOUGHTS WHEN SAID SHOT APPEARS HSKDLS)

Oh, they're PINING pining. They're YEARNING yearning. They're GAY gay.

They want to be back with each other so so so bad I'm losing my mind <3

"Fuck you, Stede Bonnet." The way he's JUST as dramatic as we were all thinking. The way he's hurting in a way WE ALL ANTICIPATED. LIKE, YOU HATE TO SEE IT, BUT MAN DSJKLDSSDKL. Also, the contrast of him saying that vs Stede's voice over is so so insane. The editors are INSANE FOR THAT ONE.

AGAIN, GOING BONKERS OVER ED'S CHARACTERIZATION BECAUSE HE SEEMS EXACTLY HOW I ANTICIPATED. Outwardly, angry, hardened, and cold. Inwardly, heartbroken, desperate, and wanting nothing more than to be back with Stede. Because hello, HELLO, HE'S NOTCHED WHAT I ASSUME TO BE HIS NUMBER OF DAYS WITHOUT STEDE IN THE WALL??????

HI OLU HELLO OLU MY DEAR DARLING OLU

but also screaming and crying and throwing up because this is ALSO what i was anticipating/hoping for. the crew being like "ummmmm lmao captain?? you really think you've got this under control???"

"You think Blackbeard's going to murder you?" I THINK NOT BECAUSE WHAT IS HE EVEN SHOOTING AT JSLDKS. OFF TO THE SIDE??? A WARNING SHOT????? Also the lighting of this and his look matches the ending shot so I'm very eyes emoji at this entire thing.

HOWEVER...

"MURDERER THRICE OVER?????????????"

Like sorry, that sign won't stop me because I can't read. Look at him. LOOK at him. You're telling me he stole the wedding cake toppers so he could PAINT HIMSELF ON THE BRIDE??? SO HE COULD MAKE HIMSELF INTO THE BEAUTIFUL BRIDE HE WANTS TO BE????? SO THAT HE COULD PLAY PRETEND MARRIAGE BETWEEN HIMSELF AND STEDE???????

INSANE!!!

INSANE FOR THIS!!!!!!

Again, bonkers editing. The split screen. The CONTRAST between Stede's hopefulness and Ed's depression. The WAY THEY LINED IT UP TO MAKE ED LOOK LIKE HE'S TAKING AIM AT STEDE. THE WAY THIS PROBABLY PERFECTLY ENCAPSULATES THEIR CHARACTERIZATION IN THE FIRST FEW EPISODES HSDJKLSDS LIKE BITING THE EDITORS BITING THEM BITING THEM

ALSO ED AND ALL OF HIS GUNS,,, NINE GUNS???????

It kills me because he's probably being exactly what he thinks people see him as. He's probably like "Oh, you want a monster? I'll give you a monster."

WHICH,,,, NO, HONEY. YOU'RE A SWEETHEART, SORRY ABOUT IT.

AND THEN LOOK AT THEM. LOOK AT OUR DARLINGS!!! FANG'S FUCKING SPIKES ARE SO METAL. FRENCHIE'S WOLVERINE COSPLAY SHDJKLSHDLKS. JIM!!! JIM JIM MY BELOVED JIM, AND THEIR PAINTED BEARD. THEIR GENDER!!!!!!!

Honey hsdksjds the drama of it all. THE DRAMA. CRASHING WEDDINGS TO DISRUPT LOVE BECAUSE YOUR OWN WAS DISRUPTED??? SIIIIIIRRRR THE THEATRICS, THE SPICE OF IT ALL

excuse me ma'am that is a gay man shdkjshkls THAT IS A GAY MAN. WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING,,,

kiss me instead like wtf

OKAY NOW THIS,,,

THIS.

PRESIDENTIAL ALERT: THE BABYGIRL IS FIGHHHTTTTIIIING

BUT IZZY WATCHING ON??? IZZY????????????

I have Genuine Thoughts™ about this. I have a feeling that the big arc/character development Con mentioned might pertain to him like, REALIZING what's important, and what Ed actually wants and needs. And a good chunk of that will be him realizing the consequences of his actions, and maybe potentially wanting to undo the damage. And also, in his Bitchy Izzy Ways™, he might also get very very tired of Ed's sulking/theatrics and want to rectify things for that reason too.

So I feel like he's going to sort of team up with Stede and show him the ropes for that reason?? So they ALL can work towards betterment???

WHICH IS NUTS LMAO. NEVER EVER EXPECTED THAT.

REGARDLESS, GO STEDE BABY GO!!!

HI REVENGE HELLO REVENGE PLEASE DON'T DO ANYTHING DRASTIC LIKE EXPLODE OR ANYTHING PLEASE BABYGIRL <3

yeah yeah the titties we've all seen them.

BUT AGAIN, AGAIN, STEDE OFF TO THE SIDE. STEDE WATCHING. STEDE LEARNING THE ROPES FROM THE MOST UNEXPECTED PERSON EVER SHDJKSDS LIKE WHAT!!!

AND HEEEEEEERE WE GO. HERE'S THE SHOT I WAS REFERRING TO EARLIER.

THE SAME BLACK SAND BEACH. FIGHTING THE BRITISH. ED AND STEDE. ED WITHOUT HIS MAKEUP ON. STEDE IN A DIFFERENT OUTFIT.

ARE THEY BOTH,,, FIGHTING TO GET TO EACH OTHER??? FIGHTING THROUGH CROWDS AND ENEMIES TO GET TO EACH OTHER'S SIDES???????

WHAT IF THEY FIGHT TO EACH OTHER AND THEN KISS HUH???

WHAT THEN.

HIIIIIIYYYAAAA JACKIE <33333

ALSO HELLO IS THAT THE SWEDE BEHIND HER???????

EXPLOSIONS FIRE EXPLOSIONS EXPLOSIONS FEELING VERY WEE JOHN CODED RIGHT NOW!!!!!!

AND THIS IS YET ANOTHER SHOT I WAS REFERRING TO EARLIER,,,

LIKE UHHHHHHHHHHHHH

WITH ED ON THE BEACH, AND THIS SHOT OF SOMEONE FALLING INTO THE WATER,,,,,,

I HAVE A FEELING THAT ED IS GOING TO DO SOMETHING THAT ENDS WITH HIM FALLING OFF THE BOAT. MAYBE HE TRIES TO SAVE SOMEONE???

if he fights to save stede from going overboard or something equivalent i'm going to eat all the tiles off my floor <3

LIKE IT'S BAD BESTIES. IT'S BAD. IT'S DIRE. THE WATER IS SO FUCKING HIGH AND THEY'RE IN A STORM AND JIM IS SCREAMING AND I AM ALSO SCREAMING!!!

But then also, LOOK AT FUCKING WEE JOHN!!! IN DRAG!!! HE'S A FUCKING MERMAID!!! JIM ISN'T A MERMAID???? WELL, THAT'S FINE--WEE JOHN IS!!! LIVING HIS BEST FUCKING LIFE!!!!! AND WHAT IF HE MADE THAT COSTUME HIMSELF SJDKSDJLS <3

AND THE FINAL SHOT I'M CHOOSING, THE FINAL ONE OF THE SET,,, MATCHES UP WITH THAT LIGHTING EARLIER.

WHO ARE WE FIGHTING, ED BABE. WHAT'S THE TEA. WHO ARE YOU CLOBBERING.

IS IT US?

IT'S PROBABLY US.

BECAUSE THIS ENTIRE THING HAS ME SO SO SO DEAD Y'ALL

hi im back gays

[mytypeismohg]

Wow I never thought I'd see people aggressively going after Ansbach now, just because they can't dig up enough shit on Mohg lmao. Nearly everyone knows Mohg is kinda crazy and obviously blood thirsty, that has nothing to do with Miquella’s actions. Mohg was stated to have abducted and experimented on the War Surgeons and a merchant for some reason, and corrupted plenty of Tarnished. Just as the game made it quite explicit that Miquella has charmed MANY people, and that, yes, his charm "compels love". WAY before the dlc...Do I believe Mohg’s romantic attraction specifically was caused by Miquella? No. I believe that's a Mohg thing, or Mohg is just a remnant of some cut disturbing lore. The obsessive and serving attitude? Yes. That is literally a part of Miquella’s bewitchment. There's a reason the prattling pate "My beloved" is found in the Haligtree, because despite love being "fickle" in the Lands Between, love for Miquella is very common.

"The Empyrean Miquella is loved by many people".

The dlc actually seemed to tone down the obsessive behavior for Miquella by his charmed subjects ironically lol, more so putting them in a passive sedation with their goals still partially intact (unless it affects his own, like Thiollier and Ansbach. Hornsent still remembers his hatred for Messmer etc.) rather than 24/7 guarding a single Miquella’s Lilly with their life and blowing themselves up in desperation, hoping for his return.

"Spirits of common soldiers who carry the sacred light. When weakened, they explode to deliver a last-ditch attack. This was the bitter revelation discovered by the desperate soldiers who awaited the return of their lord to the rotted Haligtree. May the flash of our deaths guide Miquella's return."

I agree the whole "Miquella is literally Griffith, Miquella is more evil than Marika, Miquella is literally Satan" stuff is dumb, but he isn't some defenseless 'damsel in distress' either. (That might be Godrick /jk)

We all know that Miquella can use powerful holy incantations due to the dlc, but a cut item seems to suggest he had that power far before his attempted ascension.

From Sekiro Dubi on X/Twitter -

Miquella has power beyond his charming abilities, he literally obtained/learned these types of incantations from Radagon.

"One of the incantations of the Golden Order fundamentalists. Produces three rings of light and fires them forwards. The rings of light return to a position close to the caster before disappearing. This incantation can be cast repeatedly. A gift from the young Miquella to his father, Radagon."

Miquella is not weak and helpless, he only appears to be due to his curse. He's literally called "the most fearsome Empyrean" for a reason.

Ansbach has nothing to do with anything, I could have easily deduced that Miquella was brainwashing people far before the dlc, the evidence is right there in the base game. Just like somehow some ppl are shocked to find out that Trina is a part of Miquella and think the dlc added that in too. It was all there from the beginning.

Speaking of that, why does no one find Thiollier's obsessive love for Trina odd too? She's part of Miquella.

"Silver sword carried by clerics of St. Trina. Inflicts sleep ailment upon foes.St. Trina is an enigmatic figure. Some say she is a comely young girl, others are sure he is a boy. The only certainty is that their appearance was as sudden as their disappearance."

"A talisman depicting a smiling St. Trina, a vision conjured deep within a certain man's heart. Raises attack power when sleep is triggered in the vicinity. 'Only I am allowed to know. Of your velvety sleep. Its sweetly gentle embrace. So please, smile—for me, and only me.'"

Certain man is Thioller obviously.

Unrelated but I wonder if the description on the Torch was suggesting what may have happened to Trina had she ascended along with Miquella.

"Candlestand torch that burns with a light-purple flame. The carvings depict St. Trina, but in adult form, somewhat unnervingly.

The light-purple flame induces sleep"

To all slugcats and iterators too

What are your favorite music genre(s) or if you can't decide what is your favorite thing about music (if you listen to music at all)?

Survivor:

Monk:

Watcher:

Gourmand:

Artificer:

Spearmaster:

Enot (Headphone Warning!):

Five Pebbles:

No Significant Harassment:

Sliver of Straw:

Transcripts:

Survivor: "I really love alternative indie, rock, and dream pop! No Surprises, Lost Kitten, Inside Out, Me and the Birds... Those are all really good songs I'm into. My favorite thing about music is obviously how it makes me feel. A good song is like my bread and butter!"

Monk: "I do like a lot of music box versions of songs if that counts as a genre!"

Watcher: "Hmm... I mostly like video games soundtracks. Although some peps will say that soundtracks don't count as music genre, but for me they are still unique. I especially love games with songs made by music group called 'Mili'."

Gourmand: "I haven't listened to music that much. According to Hunter, the music pearls can mostly be found in the old cities. But a lot of them have faded, and the mechanical demigods haven't been making many new ones, from what I heard. However, I do have one, myself! I got it as a gift, and it was made for a game that many called a 'timeless classic'. I think was the third, uhh... Heralds of Menace and Mysticism? Something like that. The game had lots of music, and this particular pearl has the ones you could hear, while peacefully wandering around the map. They're very soothing, and I love listening to them while drawing, or preparing food! There's even variety, as all the different terrain types get their own piece!"

Artificer: "Music genres? All music is just song to me. I like music with words in them a lot though, reminds me of the past some reason..."

Spearmaster: "Music is a... trivial thing to me, I suppose. It is a good source of entertainment, and joy, but I personally don't know what to make of it. Suns enjoys music quite a bit... perhaps I could see again if I enjoy music more than I can remember."

Enot: "Well, it changes constantly but at the moment it would probably be- CHIPI CHIPI CHAPA CHAPA DUBI DUBI DABA DABA MAGICO MI DUBI DUBI BOOM BOOM-"

Five Pebbles: "…I prefer a wide variety of pop-rock music made by synthesizers. Either that or low-intensity songs made by small groups. To be honest, my citizens would deconstruct me if they were aware of my music taste. It always comes as surprising to other iterators, but I have absolutely no interest in orchestra or classical. "

No Significant Harassment: "I quite enjoy breakcore and 8-bit music! It helps pass the time... I have nothing else to do."

Sliver of Straw: "I've never seen the appeal of music, the noise my body produces is loud enough."

[chemos-factories]

do you think noise marines have any preferences for music? Or do they all just play whatever they like and during a raid or something you just hear clashing genres playing and piling on one another?

one plays lofi, one plays death metal, the other plays hyper pop, some guy plays edm and a group over there is blasting CHIPI CHIPI CHAPA CHAPA DUBI DUBI-

CANONICALLY noise marines dont even play music at all, its just fucking Loud As Hell Noises (we dont have time to get into my opinions on harsh noise as a genre)

HOWEVER. canonically, they can also hear something called 'the song of slaanesh', and while i think outside of combat they have their own little niches, i think during combat they adjust their playing to express this song in a beautiful harmony that combines their varied and disparate personal genres <3

if they get separated tho they totally just do their own thang

[inanimateimprov]

Hiii, this is a little random but you mentioned having a Taco playlist & I’m really really curious now- like what songs did you pick for her- ??? :0

Also your fanart might take a while lol because sixth form ( so basically kinda like the end of high school but in the UK ) is starting up soon & it takes a long time for me to draw a lot of stuff.

But I’ll make sure to post it asap when it’s finished- or if you want you can have a screenshot I took when I was drawing- it’s not in the final product but it funny nonetheless ^ ^”

SOMEONE ASKED ABOUT MY TACO PLAYLISTS *explodes*

Hehehe….here they are!!! I hope you enjoy them. And I also rambled a lot about why I chose which songs for Taco under the cut, so…enjoy those :3 (-Rosin)

Season 1 (silly) Taco playlist

Season 2 (serious) Taco playlist

S1

Raining Tacos is pretty self explanatory I feel LOL

CHIPI CHIPI CHAPA CHAPA DUBI DUBI DABA DABA- it’s dancey, it’s groovy, it’s random!! It’s so very her

Pretty Rave Girl….nightcore classic

Carmelldansen is a song that to me at least sounds very random yet upbeat and happy, which I think suits her

Bad Boy: OH MY GOD THE IDEAS I HAVE WITH THIS SONG…..but particularly the lyrics “be my weekend lover / but don’t be my friend” and “but I don’t need you in my life again / no I don’t need you again” called out to me. Not only is Bad Boy a nightcore classic, but it also, to me really fits Taco’s lashing out (and subsequent falling out) with Pickle in the finale. Lowkey might make an animation meme to that song w them LOL

Dam Dadi Doo, another nightcore classic, also seems like something she’d just randomly say in the middle of the day

Don’t Trust Me: nightcore classic, and honestly I think the iconic line “tell your boyfriend if he says he’s got beef / that I’m a vegetarian and I ain’t fuckin scared of him” is very funny in the context of Taco LOL

S2

I’m Gonna Win: I HAVE AN ANIMATIC TO THST SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD AND IT WILL NEVER GET OUTTTTTTTTTT (also just listen to that banger. It may not be a tango but it’s so Taco)

Unsweetened Lemonade uses lemons as a metaphor for an ‘unpalatable’ personality, which I think fits Taco pretty well. Also the speaker’s driving force is her goals (“it’s easier to focus on the prize above my head” and “I’d do anything for twenty bucks”) which I think aligns really well with Taco’s worldview and ambitions. At least, mid-S2

Candle Queen is more of a between-S1-and-S2 Taco song. Describing her fall from grace in a bouncy swing tune I think she would fancy.

Tango: Maureen is ABOUT Taco, sung by Pickle and Microphone!!!!!!! Hiraeth showed me that song and he changed my LIIIIIFFEEE

I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME I found from an animatic on YouTube and it fit her so well I had to add it to the playlist

Missing You is so good….and it’s a song I hear with Taco thinking about Mic and Pickle a lot

Again is a bit angstier than I would like for Taco, but it has some key themes of her character (tbh I might take it off….)

A Wistful Waltz is SUUUUUCH a tacomic song. Idc what anyone says!!!!

Okay rant over I promise I only like Taco a normal amount………

[puckpocketed]

leaving this for you :)

i am swimming in a lake of koolaid rn

you are one of three (3) people who have informed me of this . did you know. did you know!!!

i think dubie is winning this divorce (vs kingstwt and no one else. they will NOT stop talking about him btw i think its saur funny <3)

[operafantomet]

Hey Anea, do you have pictures of longer Star Princess dresses? I think Emmi Christenssen has one but I find some of the longer ones don't exactly have the best shape. Thank you so much!!

I agree that some of the longer West End skirts has been long due to a flatter underskirt / underlayers - or maybe that the main emphasis has been on the hem, making them triangular rather than bell shaped. The 2005-2020 skirts had this tendency. Some newly made ones for other productions has also showed this silhouette. Here's Emmi Christensson in West End, and Caitlin Finnie in the current World Tour:

Of longer earlier skirts they had a bit more oomph over the hips as well, making them a bit more bell-shaped. To the left Annaleene Beechey, and to the right Lisa Waddingham Duby:

Of other longer skirts... basically all the German ones. And none so long than some of Colby Thomas' later skirts in Hamburg.

But also later German skirts, as seen here on Anne Görner in Essen and Elizabeth Welch in Oberhausen:

Of other longer skirts I would probably mention the Canadian ones. To the left Kimilee Bryant, and to the right Susan Sereda:

In the same vein some of the early US ones, as seen here on Karen Culliver and Dodie Pettit:

Last, but not least: Some Christines wear a skirt from stock, and they are fitted with the one that is closest to their size. They fit as such, but may be a bit longer than what's usually seen in other costumes in the specific productions. Here's two examples: Ali Ewoldt on Broadway, and Ana Marina in the World Tour.

(there's probably also a lot more to post, these are some of the ones that came to mind)

[cerastes]

do you think arturia needs more chipi chipi chapa chapa dubi dubi daba daba mágico mi dubi dubi boom boom boom boom in her life?

In all honesty, I do. I think she would greatly benefit from this and it’d unilaterally help her in her grandest quest and ultimate endgame: Finding out who put the bomp in the bomp bah bomp bah bomp at long last. If they put the ram in the rama lama ding dong one more time, consequences will never be the same.

[the-ships-to-rule-them-all]

strollonso in mother carva 👀👀👀

hello friend! please enjoy 1.6k of horny, in love, idiots. I wrote this in a fever dream, thanks for the inspo to the discord chat

Before they leave the paddock at Silverstone, at their home race, after both he and Fernando have both gotten points for the first time in awhile, Lance hears his name. He turns to see Anna, one of their senior hospitality directors. Only she’s the one in charge of the Mother. And has been since his dad had started incubating a new one when he’d decided on the rebuild.

Lance slows down, waits for her to catch up. “Anna,” he greets her. “Everything good?” 

Anna just shrugs, lips pressed together in a way that tells Lance the answer is a mostly no. “We’ve figured out why the car is shit. We’re going to need you and Fernando in the factory these next two weeks before Hungary so there’s time for the babies to start forming during Break.”

“What happened?” Lance frowns. He remembers going in with Fernando right after Abu Dubi. He’d done all his usual routine, just with more kissing and more touching and actually enjoying the getting fucked. It had been nice.

Anna laughs a little. “Lance, you know how we affectionately call you a cat sometimes because you’re petty if you don’t get enough of Fernando’s attention.”

“Yeah,” Lance says slowly.

“The Mother gave you a bad car because you didn’t give her enough attention.”

Lance stares. What?

“Fernando won’t like that,” Lance says quietly. He loves his boyfriend but he also knows how possessive he is.

“I’ve already talked to him. And he wants podiums so he just has to deal with it. Cause this is how he gets them.”

Lance wrinkles his nose. He thinks back to the want he’d felt when they’d stood together in 2022, the admiration, the desire. The longing.

He nods. “You want us at the factory when?”

“By Tuesday afternoon.”

Lance is going to do something stupid. Reckless. It’s probably too soon for it. But he’s on his phone to the jeweler from his hometown as he walks to the car. By the time he meets Fernando in their apartment, his bank account is short a cool $2 million. 

The next couple days are weird. Fernando keeps going to touch him and moves away. Lance swallows down casual “love yous” before they spill from his mouth. They don’t have sex.

They do drive together to the factory together and Lance pauses the music when they’re about 5 miles out.

“I don’t think manufacturing longing is going to get us a better car.”

Fernando sighs. “No other Mother has been this,” he says.

“Jealous?” Lance asks. Fernando nods. 

Lance scratches the back of his neck. He hates acknowledging it but in this moment it’s actually important. He forges forwards, not meeting Fernando’s eyes. “Babe, she’s kinda, well, me.”

Fernando pulls the car over to the side of the road at that. “Explain,” he requests.

Lance chews on his lip, thinking. “I was with her when she first incubated. I was the first driver to touch her. I was the first driver to come inside her.”

Fernando stares at him. “You were there for the incubating?” 

Lance nods. 

Fernando swallows hard. “Okay, okay. Cool, cool, cool.”

“No doubt,” Lance adds, cackling, Fernando looks at him blankly. “It’s from Brooklyn Nine Nine, have you really,” Fernando shakes his head, “okay, we’re watching that on the flight to Hungary.”

“Sure,” Fernando agrees. His whole demeanor has shifted. The tension and stress replaced by smugness. It happened in a blink. Lance doesn’t understand it but Fernando drives to the factory, one hand on the steering wheel, the other possessively on Lance’s thigh.

When he gets there, pulling into the parking lot, he tugs Lance into a kiss with enough tongue it leaves him breathless and drops the car keys in his lap. 

“Mysterious bastard,” Lance comments to the empty car, even as the fondness threatens to overwhelm him. He takes a deep breath and eyes himself in the mirror. The team’s seen him look worse. Whatever. 

Besides, the entire afternoon is blocked off for the Mother. He’ll look even more of a mess when he leaves to go home. Getting out of the car, he makes his way towards the area that houses the Mother, the babies, the cooldown room for the drivers. Anna is leaning against the wall, arms crossed.

“Can I go in?” Lance asks. He likes to say hello to the Mother, to sit cross-legged like a child and tell her what he’s been up to before the business starts. 

Anna shakes her head. “Your boyfriend is with her now. Said he needed to be alone.”

“Sure, that makes sense,” Lance says. It’s another 20 minutes until Fernando walks out, whistling. He presses a kiss to Lance’s cheek and squeezes his waist. 

Lance looks at him, raises an eyebrow. “Do I want to know?” 

Fernando shrugs. “I’ll tell you later,” he says, striding off in the direction of the higher ups offices. 

“He’s planning something,” Lance says. Anna just shrugs.

“It’ll be to everyone’s benefit. That’s how he’s been since he fell for you,” she points out. Lance grins, ducking his head. He feels warm, a little spoiled, a lot loved.

He brings that feeling with him as he says hello to the Mother, strokes her gently with his ring finger. She pulses, welcoming, the walls dotted with sweat. “How was Nando? He was good to you, yeah?” 

There’s no answer, not that Lance had expected one. The Mother doesn’t exactly communicate. “I bought a ring,” he admits, looking down. “Not even Dad knows. Hopefully that makes up for last year. Which, I’m sorry about by the way. We didn’t know.”

He grins. “I’m going to be an uncle.” 

It’s easy after that, sitting there, one hand on the wall, telling the Mother about his life. He stands up after a bit, goes and opens the door and finds Fernando waiting.

“Ready?” He asks. Fernando nods, eyes dark, teeth gleaming. He looks hungrier than Lance has seen him in weeks, pushing Lance until he’s caught between them. The Mother at his back, Fernando’s hand cupping his face. 

Fernando pauses, stares into Lance’s eyes, and then kisses him, fiercely, devotedly. Lance melts beneath it, cock jumping to hardness in the confines of his jeans fast enough it hurts. Fernando only kisses him harder, licks into his mouth as he gets their clothes off. Once he’s naked and Lance is down to his boxers, the kiss breaks. Fernando doesn’t go far, reaches down and tears open a packet of lube. 

Lance wants to sink to his knees, wants to get Fernando off with his mouth but the look in Fernando’s eyes stops him. He clearly has a plan. One Lance will enjoy as he’s spun around, his back getting goosebumps from Fernando’s chest hair. 

His boxers are stripped, fingers sticky with lube stroking his ass. “Gonna treat you nice,” Fernando says. Lance spreads his legs wider, pleading. 

“You always do. Always give me what I want,” Lance says, his voice low. He feels the Mother reacting, as though she hadn’t understood last time. As though she understands now. It feels like they’re being cocooned, kept safe. He feels the sweat from Fernando’s body sink into his own. Feels his cock twitch, precome leaking at the tip as Fernando slides into him. 

Lance groans at the feeling of Fernando’s hands on him, familiar and welcome. It feels like coming home. Especially as Fernando speaks to him in Spanish, ‘carino, quiero, amor’ repeated over and over. It doesn’t take long. Fernando’s teeth on his neck, his fingers wrapped around Lance’s cock. 

“Please,” he whines, pleasure spiraling through him as Fernando finds his prostate. He’s probably leaving nail marks on the walls of the Mother. He wants to apologize but doesn’t when he realizes that the Mother is letting it happen, flesh becoming malleable as Lance shakes apart. 

“Love you,” Fernando pants out, his voice rough, his body steady. Lance comes at that, his want exploding out of him. Fernando pulls out so the tip is resting against his ass and Lance starts babbling, needing it. 

It feels consuming, like nothing else has ever felt this good. Like nothing ever will. 

“Nano, please, come for me. I want you to,” Lance pleads. He arches his back, twists his neck so they’re kissing, pours everything he feels for Fernando into it. It’s biting. 

Lance understands why there’s a rule about coveting in the 10 commandments when he’s with Fernando, when he’s naked and vulnerable and all his. 

“Mine,” Lance breathes out, closing the gap again, swallowing Fernando’s tongue, stealing his air. 

“Yours,” Fernando echoes, a vow, his orgasm dripping down Lance’s thighs. Lance turns, wraps his arms around his boyfriend and buries his face in his neck. Fernando’s hands are gentle, stroking his back, his shoulders.

“Shit, that was,” Lance murmurs. 

Fernando nods, pressing a kiss to Lance’s forehead. “The car’s gotta be good.” 

Lance laughs. “How many do you think we can make?”

“We got nearly two weeks and the team has basically demanded we’re in here every afternoon,” Fernando smirks. He eyes Lance, gaze catching on where their seed has intermingled on Lance’s thighs. “Would she be mad if we bring props?”

Lance raises an eyebrow, twines their fingers together. “Why?”

Fernando shrugs, eyes glinting in a way that makes Lance shudder. “Car might be faster if I make you wait.”

Fuck. Lance nods, eager. He kisses Fernando again. The cocoon that formed around slowly backs away and Lance can see the door again. 

“Should we?” he gestures. Fernando nods. He pauses, eyes wide as he looks at where Lance had dug his fingers into the Mother. Lance follows his gaze and sees. Oh. Lines dragging down the wall of the carva, like scars.

They look old already, worn in. As though they were supposed to be there. 

“Uh,” Lance mutters, a bit dumbfounded. Fernando just grins at him.

Part 10 and a little break from doing this(and posting the sim)

CHIPI CHIPI CHAPA CHAPA DUBI DUBI DABA DABA MAGICO MI DUBI DUBI BOOM BOOM BOOM🗣️🗣️🗣️

Ok sorry. Tbh I was expecting this song to be in this year game(popularity in the social media) and at first I thought that it would be like other trolls map in the past but man this one is actually fun(my sibling is going to dance to this one a lot)

Like the choreo it's actually fun to do. The background is simple but work since this song doesn't need too much and kinda happy seeing Kitta back in the game(also it's funny for me that the dancer is the same one as T-Bam,kinda like Neo, boy is mine coach, being the dancer of Traveler but that's a different story). (Edit:So apparently it's not same one as Traveler then probably Thibaut was recording just the little scene he appears but Idk I think In Your Eyes was like around March or May and then something on July but Idk)

Anyways I can't believe I'm going to say this but 10/10 for this map
