#HERE WE MOTHER FUCKING GOOOOOOO

[originlist]

OPERATION: Hell Mandala Heian-Kyo - Clown v Clown Nightmare Match [5.5]     < prev || next >

There is the first task of ensuring Beast will not be present when Chaldea answers the summons that Limbo has politely (har har) offered to Ritsu, Dou-kun, Yako, and they’re sneaking Kama in. Ritsu feels a little guilty, knowing they did tell Beast they’d be welcome to come along to the next Lostbelt, but... the consequences of Limbo learning that Beast not only exists, but exists in the state they do would be catastrophic to say the least. Ritsu’s trying to just annoy Limbo into submission, not have some completely fucked clawing and screaming fight.

So! At the command room, Ritsu attracts attention to themselves with a clap of the hands. “Meuniere, Laurel, you’re the human-est humans here,” considering Sion and Goredolf both suffer from varying degrees of magebrain, “so you’ll be babysitting if Beast gets too lonely.” That’s mostly to Meuniere, as Laurel will probably be too busy wrangling Seimei and Bei to either be in the room or out of it, depending on how things go.

Laurel makes a face Ritsu chooses to ignore rather than read as displeased as Meuniere raises his hand tentatively. “Can I not? Beast is creepy.” No offense, of course, and Ritsu does not parse anything in this sentence as unexpected.

Ritsu shrugs. “If they get too weird, just, I don’t know, teach them rhythm games or something.” That’s a distraction!

Beast materializes over Meuniere’s shoulder, leaning down to be slightly closer to head level with him. He doesn’t notice this until a teardrop of blood falls onto his shoulder and Beast starts speaking at the same moment, at which time Muniere notices with an alarmed yelp and reflexive hop away. The hopping really only serves to bonk his shoulder against Beast’s jaw.

Beast is not perturbed, and leans further forward in a way unnervingly owl-like to keep pace with Meuniere. “The sound of bells can be used as a warding charm. For you, a commanded name doesn’t share the ritual. What’s a rhythm game?”

Meuniere resists the urge to panic a little bit. (Outwardly.) Ritsu kindly (?) pretends not to notice. They give a thumbs up. “Glad you’re getting along! That’s settled.” The staff might beg to differ, but it’s fine. It’s fine! Beast might beg to differ once they realize Ritsu’s gone for longer than a few days, but whatever. It’ll be like picking a cat up from boarding, Ritsu can deal with Beast’s dramatics afterwards.

Second task is preparation with da Vinci. She’s returned from the Border by now, and even has gifts in tow-- those being altered Mystic Codes, designed and customized special for to occasion. Holmes provides some extra colour commentary along the way as da Vinci introduces a mix of things Ritsu didn’t know but isn’t surprised about and things Ritsu had guessed already knowing their quarry.

So on, so forth, until eventually da Vinci gets to the subject of her new crafts project, which she introduces with much more enthusiasm. “Since this is a Singularity instead of a Lostbelt, it means that I can make some guesses as to what clothing should look like. As such, I’ve taken the liberty of modifying some Mystic Codes for you, so you’ll stick out less — if Yako wouldn’t mind putting a glamour on to make her look a little more like a standard human.” Yako gives her assent. Kama’s already manipulating magic to ping through a few outfits they, presumably, guess will match Yako’s but classier.

“I suggested you should wear a junihitoe, but da Vinci refused,” Douman says with an audible pout.

“That was a good choice on her part,” Ritsu says as they inspect the outfit that da Vinci’s offered them. It’s a pretty standard hakama outfit, blue dyes, a good many pockets to store their various tricks, weaponries, and supplies. A sling for their naginata with a quite modern quick-access clip that’s cleverly disguised to look more like a knot.

Yako’s already putting on the modified kimono she’s been given over top of her usual under-armour. “Making sure everyone can tell they’re your wife?” she sends as a friendly jab to Douman.

Douman declines to answer that directly, instead looking with great interest at whatever corner is farthest away from Yako. “I was also hoping it would give them a slightly harder time running off and punching things,” 'things’ largely referring to Limbo, “if they were held back by twelve layers of clothing.”

Ritsu’s voice chimes in. “I will not be stopped from violence.” That much could have been guessed. They give Douman their best ‘definitely not scheming anything at all, nope, no sir!’ wide grin, and it does nothing to convince them.

It’s Sion paging in who gives the announcement once everyone’s dressed and Douman’s last-minute whining is halfway through. “Alright, we should have the Rayshift up and ready to go shortly.”

The Rayshift room is somehow nostalgic. Ritsu can feel Douman looking at them from their corner of their eye, waiting. Normally they’d have spoken now, but Ritsu figures they want to see how well Ritsu’s guesses are going to work. Pretty well, Ritsu hopes— just because they haven’t voiced anything yet doesn’t mean they won’t.

“Yo, Vincichi.” They stop short, leaning back to look where the Command Room cameras will be watching. “As we make connection with the time period, isolate every system as much as possible from the actual entry point. If there’s a passageway, it’s a two-way street and I don’t want something creeping in.” They can see Douman give a minute nod next to them, and feel pleased they apparently passed that test.

“Good deduction, Ritsu.” Holmes says over the speaker. An implicit voice of approval that he would have made the same conclusion had Ritsu not announced it first.

Ritsu nods and pulls out their spear, giving it a glance to make sure the appropriate talismans are in place. Yup, passed. “Yako and Kama, when we land, hang tight for a second and don’t move.” They know Douman well enough to know Limbo. If an invitation was made and there is any point of access, that door is not created in good faith. It only makes sense for Limbo to place something there that will kill them in the first second of entry, a surprise that makes it so ‘the Chaldea that brought down Lostbelts before me was felled within a second of entering my Singularity’.

“Alright.” Da Vinci says over speaker as Yako and Ritsu climb into Coffins, their Servants dematerializing to cling to their Masters’ prana. “I’ll count you down. Five. Four.” Connection made. “Three.” The time period is aware of entry. “Two.” The door exists. “One.” The pathway opens.

They land in the dark, Ritsu with their spear already in hand before their eyes adjust. Something black squirms in the shadow before Ritsu’s feet. As is expected. Yako stands to the back of the group with Kama who is watching, bored, just behind her shoulder and Douman to the side of them.

Ritsu raises their naginata. “Let evil be seen.” The blade swings in a quick arc of silver, magic thrumming from the seals and incantations, amplified by the peach-wood handle. “And cut.” Snakes made of grudge pull their forms from the shadow only in time for Ritsu’s blade to neatly lop their heads off in a single movement, flinging them against a nearby wall where they dissolve into nothing.

Yako gets half an excited syllable out before the bodies wriggle and surge forth from the same point. They twine together to create a singular shape, blinking open eyes and stretching forth a singular giant maw.

“I am the one who will cut down karma,” with their blade glowing a faint red, Ritsu switches to a different stance and pulls the naginata back around, “and retie it to my will.” Metal crackles when it cuts through the curse from the head down this time, the jaws of a singular massive snake falling dead to either side of Ritsu. “By my word, will, and blade: acknowledgement and purification.” A star is drawn with the tip of their spear. Sealing. This time, the whole demon dissolves.

There’s a moment, which Yako breaks. “That was so cool!! Good job Ritsu!” She sprints forward immediately, hands flung up to give them a high five. Ritsu grins and obliges, and with a quiet “good job, my lord,” from Douman, the Singularity begins.

A friendly reminder I am not to be held accountable for the things I'm about to say. Percy Jackson Season 1 FINALLY (SPOILERS BUT THAT'S THE LEAST OF YOUR PROBLEMS)

The visceral noise I made eating popcorn as Luke said "look you didn't ask to be a half-blood" caused an earthquake in Alaska, I'm sorry I was facing northwest.

"Riposte" I'm sorry, no I'm sorry no-

Also, the background of the sword fighting scene was very pretty.

Poseidon showing up for his son!!! Letts gooooooo! THE WEIGHT OF THE OCEAN UPON YEE!!!

Right in the heel, it's gotta hurt!

Percy asked his uncle to please return his mom, wholesome family gold.

"He'll kill you." "I done to stop running from monsters." "You're gonna need all the luck you can get." The show gets why these two work. Friends before anything else.

Glory as a theme is something that I like that the show highlights more. But Grover is right. at least send an insurance email or something. A quick "on my way, please don't kill anyone"

Dropping the master bolt on some poor dudes desk, legendary.

Olympus is so fucking beutiful omg

I'm gonna cry if Luke and Percy are in the same scene as each other in this episode again. ILL DO IT! THAT'S A THREAT!

The dead silence, I'm shitting omg... yes I know what happens and?

Followed by "I didn't steal it! Neither did any of my friends" IM GONNA CRY! IM GONNA DO IT

The pin strip suit, the sky blue paisley tie, the presence, the voice, THE KING OF THE GODS PEOPLE

Lotta talk for someone so small and scary

POISIDEN GETTING BETWEEN HIS SON AND HIS BROTHER I'M GONNA THROW UP

POSIDEN AND ZEUS SPEAKING GREEK I'M GONNA PISS

THE SEA DOES NOT LIKE TO BE RESTRAINED (🎶BRING ON THE MONSTERS BRING ON THE REAL WORLD!!!🎶)

SALLY JACKSON TEACHING PERCY GREEK I'M GONNA-

"Of course we dream. why do you ask?" "Do you ever dream about mom?" ;-;

Thalia looking strudy as ever.

"Ready?" NO FUCK YOU NO

Another reminder I am not to held liable for anything I might say, you need only see how many times I've listened to "Last day of Summer" from The musical to understand how much I've thought of this moment in fictional time.

Confirmation that Luke was indeed what mattered most in the end? I'm gonna make myself cry shit-

Honestly, this Percy might be too smart for his own good. Bro's never gonna live this heartbreak down.

"You...I'm here to recruit." I- fucking- AHHHH

"OUR WAY OUT" RICK YOU BASTARD I HOPE YOU ROT IN ASPHODEL

"Stop saying "we"!" "It’s the word Zeus fears the most."

AND SHE HEARD EVERYTHING! Wasn't she supposed to be watching Clarrise? He'll, if Percy could figure it out, I'm sure Annabeth would. It's worth it to see that LOOK on Luke's face. I'm sorry. Feel the weight of your actions, man.

Miss my old friend the pit scorpion but I also like my new friend "the first scars we gave eachother"

He knows Luke won't hurt him physically, but the psychic damage hurts more and has lasting status de buffs.

"Just be a kid" that's it

"I'll find you" that's it

Promising to meet again next summer...Percy just you wait.

THE FAKE OUT OF A LIFETIME

"Grandpa" "don't call him that"

They are the ultimate mother son duo

BLUE PANCAKES!

Kinda hate that Sally didn't intentionally do a murder, or at least she has a lot more possible deniability now, but I hope she still makes a sweet sale on that sculpture!

And that's it! Fuck it's over what to do now... RE READING THE LIGHTING THEIF LIFE BLOG COMING SOON! As well I'll probably drop a summary of my thoughts on the whole season at some point soon! Happy Finally, y'all! Can't wait to see the discorse!

[demonir]

I spent all day yesterday with my mom talking abt a lot of stuff but amongst all those things she let me intensely infodump about tf2 for hours and I got to show her a lot of things, here are the highlights of me showing tf2 to a white uruguayan 53 year old woman who’s only game experience is bejeweled

I first gave her a very surface level rundown of the game plot which she found nonsensical the more questions she asked, I showed her the meet the merc vids first and at the end of each I gave her extra info about them

She thinks heavy is interesting and she’d probably like him more if he was put in a normal situation where he’s just a civilian living life, she never made a fat joke abt him so lets fucking gooooooo 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Her feelings on scout are mixed and didn’t like when I said he was one of my favorites, she said I need to like smarter people (this will be her downfall later) she did like him a lot more after we watched Expiration Date and found him and Miss Pauling endearing (she was great at picking up the subtext which surprised me) also asked her what age she thought scout had and she said 19 or 20 😭 then made a joke abt his baby face when I told her his actual age

Engineer scares her a small bit and does NOT understand how he’s my number 1 favorite (it was so hard to pretend I am normal about him in front of her) thinks him playing the guitar with a glove is stupid. I explained to her a bit of the conagher family story and she said that dell basically got the short end of the stick (because he’s tasked with fighting in the war AND maintaining the australium immortality devices when australium ran out) 😭

Thinks sniper is okay, I asked her what age she thought he had and she said 50 LMAOOOOO when I told her his actual presumed age she went “oh damn then I’m doing GREAT for my age”. I went on a huge tangent about the comic’s timeline and plot just to explain to her how he’s not ACTUALLY australian and she got sad abt him :( I did not tell her abt the jarate until a lot later bc I knew it would irredeemably ruin her image of sniper, I explained to her the game mechanic and as I was going to say “it gives the enemy a negative effect” she cuts me off and goes “yeah it makes them die from embarrassment” she also made a jarate pun in Spanish that I can’t remember at all rn I’m so sorry

Did not understand a single thing demoman said in the entire video and I don’t really blame her, her English is not good or that advanced it’s quite strange because she can understand some random complex words but had to ask me what “screw you” means so yeah she didn’t understand demomans accent she did however notice it was the same voice actor as heavy. I told her about demomans background and story and she found it so incredibly strange but wished for him to recover from alcoholism because it’s not good for him 💜 I told her abt demomans charms but she wasn’t quite charmed herself sadly (she did enjoy him in emesis blue)

Like mother like child, the Meet The Spy video was her favorite out of the bunch and she very quickly clocked in on the fact spy is scouts father without me saying anything, she said that from a technical standpoint spy is the most valuable mercenary on the team (goddamn not even the medic got considered) she also enjoyed him a lot in Expiration Date and Emesis Blue, I think hes still her favorite as of right now. Also we watched lil pootis and she laughed SO hard when I told her blu spy divorced blu ma and got with blu engie. She also frowned when red spy left lil pootis in the hallway alone and made jokes about mistreating his grandson

She did NOT like meet the medic or medic himself, absolutely creeped out by him and when I told her medic is one of my favorites she looked at me and went “your concept of what’s “comedic” and “fun” is very wrong and I hope you never get a boyfriend because I’m afraid of what you’ll bring home”….. I don’t know if she was serious or not 😭 I also never mentioned liking medic that way but I guess she fucking clocked me for it anyways. I tried to give her some medic propaganda and she found him tricking the devil to be very funny, I haven’t asked her if her opinion on medic has changed after watching emesis blue tho (I’m very curious to know since it’s a very different interpretation of him) I haven’t told her a single thing about heavymedic because I am afraid of what she’s gonna do with the knowledge of tf2 ships and I’m probably gonna keep it that way. She did seem charmed by the way medic genuinely loves his doves since she’s an animal lover herself

Soldier scared her a bit but mostly confused her, her initial reaction was rejection because of his ultra patriotism, nonsensical lines and violent tendencies however he grew onto her rather quickly to even make it to like second or third place on her list of favorites mainly because I told her about his raccoon sanctuary and the fact he is a great boyfriend (I didn’t tell her abt the naked honey fighting… I’ll show her later) and a great friend to demoman as well (she finds their cross faction friendship adorable)

Pyro absolutely TERRIFIES her she was utterly horrified by the meet the pyro video and doesn’t know what scares her more, the idea that pyro doesn’t know what they’re doing or that they do and do it anyway. I didn’t get to tell her abt pyro becoming a CEO in the comics but I’ll mention it eventually, the interpretation of them in emesis blue probably did not help her be less scared of pyro lmao. Also she thought the baby mercs in the meet the pyro video were oddly adorable and wants one….whatever that means

Overall she said the age of the game shows itself in the videos with their quality and what not and I also told her they were animated using SFM and briefly explained how it’s a free software fans have used for years to make fan content. Also she thinks the blu spy head in the freezer is the FUNNIEST shit ever

Her thoughts about Expiration Date:

She noted how this was obviously more recent because the quality was better

When she saw scout asleep in the van she went “that’s how I sleep”

She picked on a lot of details that I didn’t think she would and actually hearing her thoughts about the video after was rather fun, she did note how scout had used what he learned from spy later on the fight against the bread monster with miss Pauling for example

Nearly screamed when the bread monster ate the dove and let out a sigh of relief when she saw it was ok

Found scout very endearing when he explained he knew girls like Pauling don’t like him

The bit with the bucket made her laugh out loud I had to pause the video because she was curled into a ball laughing

I had failed to explain that they have teleportation technology in tf2 so when she saw the teleporters she loudly went “what the FUCK is that”

Loved miss Pauling a lot in fact before watching this video she asked me if we were gonna see her at some point since I had already spent a while talking abt her earlier

She didn’t have a lot of comments about other stuff I showed her that are worth mentioning but she loved emesis blue! She’s like me about liking weird confusing movies so that part she loved a lot but could do with a bit less violence, at one point whenever the characters were in danger she’d cover her face and go “they don’t die do they?” Over and over again lmao

I plan on showing her more stuff although it’s slightly difficult bc of the language barrier, if y’all have any videos or stuff you’d like for me to show her plz share but be aware of that

[Plain text: "What have we learned?" in medium text. /End PT]

I took the liberty to kill of my 10th post thing on AO3 because it was just my rant corner but like, I want and not want to burn it so ignore me.

HMNNNNNNNNN GOOD QUESTION. WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED????

That I really like short opening sentences?? And that maybe I like to start the story with the condition the main character is in???? HmNnNN but its interesting that I love making short sentence opener. I thought I'd prefer long ones but lo and behold. the fact that number 9 title is longer than my first sentence is so funny too.

But I did realized how much I love symbolic titles, even tho 99% of the time I screamed at how to figure out a title and just randomly slap one on. and also I can't believe that I only wrote NINE (9) FICS IN 2023,,,, WHAT THE FUCK ME??? HNGH I swear I wanna write more but brain capacity getting smaller (sobs)

No pressure from me!!! @avidaraku, @adelmortescryche, @honeynet, @seitosokusha and anyone basically. I feel like I'd tag everyone if I could but hahahaha----- //slapped K BYE LOVE YALL

Part 1 -> here

Here I am back. I'm still sorry about the little mess in the first part, I should have waited for someone to subtitle me in my language so I could understand word for word. But here I am back with part two where we analyze and theorize about the Teaser Trailer of the second season of Helluva Boss!

After this image I don't think there is any need to say anything. Seriously. There will be a flashback to Blitz's past where we would see his mother! What the fuck do we want to know anymore??? I WANT to see this episode NOW. I remember when I saw this scene I jumped out of my chair, but I imagine we all jumped out of our chairs, or bed, or wherever else you were when you saw this stuff. I don't know what to expect but I'm honest. I'm definitely expecting a cute scene between Blitz and his mom since he seems to love her so much. There are those who have theorized that Blitz's mother is ill, but a serious one and that is why in the episode "OOPS" when we saw the flashback of the fire, her mother could not be saved. Meanwhile, his father, instead of collecting the money (as for example in the episode "The Circus" when his father sent him to rob the Goetia family) and helping them to take care of his wife, spends it on other things (which we don't know about, obviously imagining that this theory is true).

However, I am curious to know the character of Barbie and Blitzø's mother.

Okay. Let's breathe so as not to tell this idiot to fuck off. Mammon returns. On the one hand I expected it after the super evil exit (I'm being sarcastic of course. But joking aside I loved when Mammon laughed and ran away. Typical villain in the movies) that he made leaving Ozzie and Fizz to their fate since they have declared that they were in love. Maybe maybe we could even see how things are actually going after their statement. Although. I noticed that the people from Hell didn't completely hate their confession though, I mean did you hear them when Asmodeus said he loved Fizz? It seemed like we Helluva fans were getting excited after they had actually revealed to us in episode six of the second season that the two were together, and we, who had already theorized it in episode seven of the first season (as if it hadn't been obvious but details). However if you notice Mammon's clothing is different from that of episode seven. He tells me a lot about the mafia, and we know that in his ring there is too much of the mafia. Maybe he's doing business with someone? Maybe with Crimson himself for some reason? Or maybe he's simply devising a plan of his own to get revenge on Ozzie and Fizzarolli for humiliating him in front of everyone in his own ring?

However, to make you laugh a little, on the table where Mammon is apparently sitting there is a mini sketboard and a fidget spinner. I don't know, it made me laugh.

LET IT GOOO, LET IT GOOOOOOO🎶

OK stop. I was left speechless at this image, I mean, holy shit! Would we have a clash with our Elsa from Frozen?? In his ice castle?? Come on, anyway, I don't believe that Vivienne wasn't inspired by Elsa to create Andrealphus, I don't believe it. End of the story.

Do we now also want to talk about there will be a song for Octavia??? Holy shit, Vivienne wants to kill us!! I'm looking forward to these five episodes and you tell me that Octavia will have her own space where she will sing?? I can not do it. More than anything the phrase he says pierces my heart: "You never loved mother, you never loved me...you love him" Let's start immediately from the fact that ok, we are still hurt and we don't know what actually triggered this anger or sadness in Via, but I ask myself: Again?? That is, the matter wasn't resolved in episode two of the first season? Stolas said he would never leave his daughter for Blitz, but he never said he didn't love her, as far as I'm concerned Stolas is more of a parent than Stella. Now I don't know the relationship between Stella and Octavia, but seeing her, I don't think in the slightest that he loves her like Stolas loves Octavia. In short, Stella wanted to kill Stolas to take revenge for the bad impression she made him make (only for the bad impression he made, not because he betrayed her with an imp). But then no. It can't be done because then the inheritance would go to Octavia and she would get nothing. Ok that's her brother's plan, but I don't think Stella will hesitate to hurt her daughter to get what she wants. On the other hand, I wasn't the only one to theorize it either. I really hope that the matter about the relationship between Stolas and Octavia is resolved in some way, because Stolas acts as a father to Octavia more than any other father in the world, in short, I would like him as a father. He has understood his mistakes and is trying to fix them. The fact that he is putting his happiness first for now is not (in my opinion) his fault.

Stolas has never thought about his happiness and only after seeing Blitz again is he starting to understand what could be good for Blitz and for himself. I believe that Stolas wants to try to have happiness so that he can share it with his daughter and strengthen their relationship. Obviously tell me what you think, I won't judge your thoughts even if they are different from mine!

Do you remember him? Yes, that's right, our new bad fish that we commented on in part one of this Trailer analysis. I renamed him because when reading the comments on Vivienne's video, someone theorized that he could be the prince of the ring of Envy, while still having the appearance of a fish or something similar. I don't know exactly what made me think about it, but it doesn't cause me any confusion, on the contrary it's just more curiosity. Indeed it could be, given that in these just five episodes we would travel between different circles and also return to earth for the adventures of our favorite imps. So I wasn't surprised if we had to meet all the princes or princesses of the various circles. There is a scene where there even seems to be a mysterious and robust character, very strong and with an evil and severe appearance. This character was immediately said by fans to be Satan, being reminiscent of the circle of wrath. I admit I thought so too, but who knows. Remember that even if the answer is so obvious it doesn't necessarily have to be right. 😉 Oh well, bullshit aside, even if that should be Satan we would all be happy to have met the dick from the circle of wrath.

Well now, I think we can finally conclude with this image where Vivienne tells us in which months the episodes will be released. Which makes it more anxiety-inducing since we only know the months and not the precise dates. As some fans had theorized, the episode "The Full Moon" will be released in May. There are those who even thought it would be released in mid-April, but let's say that this episode is so long overdue that people were inventing the worst things to get it out.

And finally. What do you think? What are your thoughts on this Trailer? I still can't believe we would have an episode in May, June and then have to wait until October 🫣. Help.

-Sorry for my english!!!

LAST EPISODE

s5 ep13 heart pt 2

LET'S GOOOOOOO

it's 1:21pm and I have laundry to do AND Easter Vigil service starts at 8pm, can I get this all watched before 7pm?

Or am I gonna sit there in church vibrating in place for two hours knowing I have three minutes left on the episode or some bullshit lol

(That's longer than usual, yes. Easter Vigil is actually one of my fave services of the year--we start outside lighting candles (the ones inside have been out since Thursday night, even the one we otherwise never put out), then walk into the dark church, then sorta speedrun bits of the old testament (with a hymn after every reading) and then we decide OKAY IT'S EASTER NOW :D and turn on the lights and make a lot of noise and sing a few more hymns--we don't sing or say alleluia during Lent so all the hymns have that in it. There's often MASSIVE amounts of church incense, too. Anyway by the end it's a bit of a party. Apparently some churches have an actual party after the service.)(side note if you're new-ish to these posts that I'm Episcopalian, like, the priests at my church are a gay man and a woman, we're cool people mostly I promise)

See this is why these posts take forever. Why do I keep infodumping shit. This is what it's like to watch things with me in person, though.

If I get through this episode before Easter Vigil my reward is gonna be coming home and taking an edible and rewatching the last two episodes without screenshots so I can just cry over them.

oKAY

eh? that's new. like putting that on screen like that in dead silence. No intro sequence.

oh right Adora is injured. :( And it's some kind of magical monster thing that did it--a security thing put into the Crystal Castle by the First Ones

when she touches her wound the Failsafe glows, and it's making static-y noises and looking glitchy, that can't be good

the nasty tentacle monster thing is still there buT SO IS CATRA YAYYYY she shatters at least one of its eyeballs? I think?

my brain: this is like Caitlyn helping Vi after she got stabbed by Sevika, the wound is even in the same place :D me: wrong person has the red jacket on also Catra isn't going to buy some illegal potion thing to dose Adora with

(you should watch Arcane)

DOES SHE EVER SAY IT LIKE THAT BEFORE THIS?? oh god she sounds so breathless and relieved

Adora: "You can't be here! It's too dangerous"

And she stands up and starts to fall over and fucking Shadow Weaver helps her stand up, uGH

LOOK AT MY BB KICKING ASS

oh god so Shadow Weaver basically drags off Adora, Catra's like "I'll catch up, okay?" and Adora's like "no no Catraaaaa" her voice is cracking and everything, she doesn't want to do this without her and also worries about Catra and that tentacle monster thing

I'm not gonna screenshot it but poor Glimmer is fighting her dad, who is still chipped and Evil.

Bow is fighting Scorpia, also chipped and Evil. Oh hey Melog shows up and makes Bow invisible.

Micah is MEAN when chipped. He calls Glimmer a failure.

Glimmer: "My mother raised me to be brave. My friends taught me to be kind. And I'm stubborn. I get that from you. I will never stop fighting! And I won't lose another parent! I love you, dad."

She blasts him with enough magic that he collapses.

Bow, invisible, types away on Entrapta's computer she set up in the Horde thing, but when he gets it to start to do its thing he gets excited and says "I've got it!!" and Scorpia hears it and blasts him and is standing over him about to get him.

Bow: "Prime may have made you do a lot of things, but he can't turn you into something you're not. So, right now, all I need you to do is trust me."

Her eyes get normal for a second and she yells, and Bow slams a button on Entrapta's computer. There's a bright light.

Where Sea Hawk is holding Mermista, her chip goes dead and falls off. We get a lovely montage of other characters from all over Etheria, like Huntara and the folks at Elberon, who'd been chipped having their eyes go back to normal!

Scorpia: "oh my gosh I am so sorry!!"

yeah she's definitely back to normal lol

up on Horde Prime's ship:

lol

"My device worked! I knew it would!"

Bow: "Hey, everyone. I'm Bow."

(lol there's so much story in just this frame alone)

But yeah they show people from all over Etheria stopping to watch him speak, including his dads.

"Right now, we're the only thing standing in the way of him controlling it forever. You might be feeling hopeless. You might be thinking "We don't stand a chance." And maybe we don't. Prime's too strong. His army is too powerful. But that's not gonna stop us. We need to show Prime we're not afraid of him, because we have each other. And we have love. We can't give up. And if we go down, we go down together. We need you. All of you."

"It's time to fight. For She-Ra, for our homes, for each other!"

Broadcast over, back to Horde Prime. "Put an end to this mockery."

Catra injures the tentacle monster thing, but now that green is spreading into the room, and as Catra runs down the hall towards the Heart, she stops as Horde Prime shows up in hologram form

"I had such high hopes for you." like what, dude. keeping her around and chipped like a fucking puppet as an example? eugh. (something something about how her speeches to Adora while chipped were an obvious reference to people proselytizing high-control faiths)

the moment of distraction is enough for the tentacle monster to grab one of Catra's legs and she screams in pain D:

also there's still a bunch of earthquakes happening as these two limp towards the Heart

Poor Adora is just weakly going "No...no...wait" Shadow Weaver: "Don't lose your focus. We're so close."

What's this WE shit.

But also damn one thing Shadow Weaver and Horde Prime (and Light Hope!) have in common is they both believe love and affection and "attachments" are weaknesses. Shadow Weaver just cannot seem to get it through her head that Adora's love for Catra (and vice versa) is helpful here. Not a detriment. Love isn't a distraction!!! It gives us a stable ground of security and safety from which to do hard things!!

Meanwhile poor Angella told Adora "take care of each other."

This is pulsating, and so is the Failsafe on Adora's chest

OH NO oh god Okay being near that much hardcore magic is making Shadow Weaver powerful--her hair does the floaty thing for the first time since, what, s2? And she starts reaching for it, but THEN--

Adora yells Catra's name and starts walking back towards her, and Shadow Weaver's hair falls down again and she says the most weirdly desperate-sounding "Adora, wait!"

Prime's hologram is still torturing Catra along with the actual tentacle monster

(someone has drawn rule 34 of that thing but I'm not looking for it. I am content to know it exists.)

AND THEN THE MONSTER GETS BLASTED BY SHADOW WEAVER AHAHA NICE

about time she was useful amiright

okay so is this Shadow Weaver actually realizing she's been wrong about The Power of Love, or is this just her begrudgingly accepting that these two are Sold as A Set, Do Not Separate, and unless Catra's there Adora won't be able to use the Failsafe because she'll be looking for Catra the whole time???

Like is this an emotional epiphany or just pragmatism?

oh god so she magically shoves Catra away (towards Adora), but Catra runs back to Shadow Weaver

And y'all I know I talked about this a LOT way back in earlier seasons but I cannot tell you how accurate this keeps being in regards to dealing with an abusive parent. Like if you'd asked me, even after I cut off contact, if I wanted my dad to die, I would've said No! Of course not! At that point I didn't know whether the no-contact thing was temporary or not. I just knew I needed time and space to not be constantly stressed and anxious, for a notification on my phone to not immediately fill me with so much adrenaline my hands shook.

Anyway Shadow Weaver puts up a magical shield to keep Catra back

Shadow Weaver's response is amazingly calm and quiet. "Please, Catra. You need to make sure Adora reaches the Heart. The magic must be set free."

Her fight with Tentacle Monster isn't going well.

Catra's voice is heartbreaking here. "Stop it! It's going to kill you!"

"But you, this is only the beginning for you."

;_;

STICK THAT KNIFE IN AND TWIST IT! YEAH!

Catra's crying "no...no..." and a hand reaches out and grabs hers

LOL FINALLY HIT THE IMAGE LIMIT okay going to reblog

what a moment for it pfft

[lvlpin]

i know the likely story is that og Gabriel got shot and replaced by not Gabriel and that angel were probably created fully formed but let me have this

the obligatory de-aging of any parent figure aka gabriel except he just turns into og gabriel. imagine the confusion on both sides.

—————

og gabriel, in the middle of the living room: where am i? whos house is this? Why do the people living here look so messed up?

meanwhile the kids, in a corner: guys what are we supposed to do? dad is no longer evil and completely forgot who we are. whos going to tell him that he managed to kill god?

————

og gabriel: youre saying that you guys are my kids?

Six, who has been voted to tell their dad: yes

og gabriel: I got married?

six: no, no mother

og gab, who realized that a lot of sins he has committed: (starts panicking) so i had children without getting married?! im not supposed to actual have children as an angel. I may have condemmed some lady bc i had children with her oh no oh no

six: youre not going to hell dad, you are acroace and made us out from object. you already killed god he literally cant do anything to you

og gabriel: i KILLED GOD!?

————

btw, i hc that both gabriels are aroace for completey different reasons. og gab doesnt swing either way and just wants friends while not gabriel isnt interested at relationship period. single fatherhood is managable

-sunglasses

og gabriel went "I KILLED GOD???" and alt gabriel is like "fuck yeah you did"

HELL YEAH AROACE GABRIELS LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO

The Greens: “I’m gonna be your first and your last” and, because the Blues need some love, “We just went over the rules.”

48. “We just went over the rules.”

A Blues ask!! My crops are watered and my skin is cleared. I have other Greens prompts, so there will be more of them coming. I hope it's okay that I chose the Blues one!

Send me a prompt and some characters! Reminder that the challenge is to make everything SFW, so we're getting creative here.

“Wait, okay, so is eye contact allowed?”

Bubbles popped a chewing gum bubble. “That’s allowed.”

“And is it one foot or two on the floor?”

“One. Look, are you really ready? We just went over the rules, but you seem nervous.”

Boomer shook his head. “No, I’m good! For real, let’s do this. I’m good to go.”

Todd slammed a bill on the table in between them. “Super, because I got money on the line here. Let’s gooooooo!”

“Wow, five whole dollars? I’m flattered,” Boomer said.

“Why? My money’s on Bubbles.”

“Mine too,” Buttercup said.

“Y’all are about to take a collective shit and eat it when Boomer wins this,” Butch said.

Blossom winced. “Jesus, Butch.”

“No, no, he’s right.” Brick put his hands on Boomer’s shoulders and leaned his weight on them. “Boomer, flatten her ass.”

Buttercup leaned close to Blossom’s ear. “Did you hear that, Blossom? Did you hear what that uncultured fool just said about our sister’s ass?”

Blossom clenched her fists. “Oh, I heard it.”

“Okay, enough! Can we just start please?” Bubbles had not signed up for a pissing contest between their siblings. She hadn’t even invited them. This was supposed to be a friendly match for fun, until Todd found out and turned it into some betting pool among their classmates and friends, who had all gathered in Todd’s basement to watch the competition.

“All bets are in! Last call!” Mike rattled a tin full of coins and a few bills from the high rollers.

Bubbles chewed her now flavorless gum. “Ready?”

“He was born ready,” Brick said, dead-ass serious.

Butch made a man noise somewhere in between a squawk and a roar.

“I’m ready when you are,” Boomer said.

Robin, who had agreed to act as referee, leaned over the table. “Okay, take your positions, brave combatants!”

Bubbles wrapped her hand around Boomer’s and rested her elbow on the table. On Robin’s countdown, she put all her Super strength behind her arm and pushed against Boomer’s, who pushed right back.

They were evenly matched in strength, but Bubbles had expected this. She smiled and turned on the charm. “Hey, Boomer.”

Boomer blinked. Sweat had begun to form on his forehead from the exertion. “Yeah?”

Bubbles gritted her teeth against his force. Her arm shook, but her eyes smiled. “You look really hot in that jacket.”

He flushed, and Brick slammed a hand on the table. “Hey, no flirting! Ref, do something about this.”

“Back off, Mother Theresa. It was just a compliment,” Buttercup said.

“The hell it was. I see you, Bubbles.”

“Don’t you dare address her directly! You’re interfering with her concentration,” Blossom said.

“All right, all right! No one talks anymore,” Robin said.

“I’m increasing my bet,” Todd said, dropping another dollar into Mike’s tin. “Bubbles is gonna murder him.”

It was harder without talking. Boomer couldn’t use his electricity, but his stamina was a little better than Bubbles’ on a good day. She could feel herself beginning to slip. Her palm was clammy where it clasped Boomer’s, and her elbow dug into the table hard enough to dent the steel.

Boomer held her gaze. He knew she was losing steam, and it only made him stronger. Around them, their siblings and friends loomed with death and destruction in their eyes, but Bubbles couldn’t worry about them when she had to worry about Boomer. She wasn’t as punch-hungry as Buttercup or as viper-tongued as Blossom, but she had her pride, and Boomer of all people was definitely not going to beat her.

He’d been her arch nemesis, her equal and opposite counter born to destroy her, and he’d failed rather embarrassingly when one kiss blew him up. A lot had changed since then—they were dating now, and their fights had transitioned more to the verbal spat variety over kicks and punches—but the competition between them still simmered under the surface. Boomer had never grown past his ultimate weakness, either.

And yeah, it was a teensy bit underhanded, but Bubbles had come here to conquer and Boomer was in her fucking way.

She looked Boomer directly in the eye, puckered her lips, and blew the slowest, sexiest chewing gum bubble she’d ever blown in her life. Like the sweet but predictable boy he was, Boomer shuddered and squeaked an impotent oh! and Bubbles went in for the kill.

She slammed his hand down on the table. The room exploded around them.

“She cheated,” Brick insisted.

“She didn’t speak, so she didn’t break the rule,” Blossom said.

“That was the most fuck me harder, daddy bubble I have ever seen. It’s a hundred percent cheating!”

“You can’t ascribe sexual intention to gum! That’s simply absurd.”

“Yeah, Brick, wow. Get some ice for that sore ass, loser,” Buttercup said.

Butch made another man-roar-growl and fell to his knees.

While Blossom and Brick continued to scream at each other over the sexual agency or lack thereof of chewing gum, Bubbles collected her winnings from Mike, high-fived Todd for being a true ally from the get-go, and dragged Boomer out of there. “Are you okay?”

Boomer sighed. “Yeah, just a little emasculated. But it’s no big deal, I’ll get over it.”

“That’s the spirit.” She kissed his cheek, and he caught her with an arm around her waist when she tried to pull back.

“I don’t mind losing if it’s to you, you know.”

“That’s cute. But you definitely did lose.”

He groaned. “Yeah, okay, you won. I’m toast. You’ve ruined gum for me forever. What do you want me to say?”

“Nothing. Just stop talking and kiss me.”

He shut up immediately.

[tenpintsof-sundrop]

If I had know it was getting close to your birthday, I would have rushed to finished the Jaws of Life - but what better gift is there than hating on Dick Grayson and ruining his life?? (Also that gif is killing me lmao).

Anyway, onto the bants!!!!

Star: "as close as two people can be" so... on top of each other ?

Sunny: okay this cracked me up way too much omg. they've been even closer than that (dick in pussy.... the ultimate closeness)

Star: "reader character in this story of being more of an OC" does she have a name? if not, let's fucking goooo i want superpowers !!! AND a deep and complicated story line

Sunny: this actually made me smile so much omg. I am so glad that we are having fun with my choices LET'S GOOOOOOO

Star: "secret surprise reveal of two of the characters being related" I WANT A SECRET SIBLING !!! PLEASE !!!

Sunny: for those of you following me who might be reading this, me and Star have been discussing the 'secret sibling' in DMs and she is already doing detective work trying to guess who it's gonna be. I am excited to see who is gonna be able to guess first. (if anybody else is gonna try to guess).

Star: "Robin was just another masked psychopath" ... now- and just hear me out here !! ...did they lie Grayson? you can be a masked psychopath with gOOD INTENTIONS !!! No one's taking that away from you

Sunny: 'masked psychopath with good intentions' has me fucking SNORTING omg. it makes him sound like a rabid dog - but he's muzzled. it's okay. he's gonna be fine.

Star: "The universe dangling something in front of you that you’re not allowed to have and technically, should no longer want" anyone's still keeping count of the "lines in Sunny's fics I just think are neat" ?

Sunny: literally got me like this:

Star: "the kind that would have gotten snagged on one of his nice shirts" GOOD !!! this visual gives me a weird sense of satisfaction, like yeah ruin his shit, fuck it up actually

Sunny: I wasn't necessarily going for 'ruin his life' with this one, more so 'they are bound to be together and their personalities and lives will always be entwined, whether they intend it or not, and they will always clash like fabric ripping, but Dick still loves her' - but YEAH RUIN HIS SHIT !!!!

Star: "had you snuck up on him on purpose? Did you find it funny?" sksksksksk yes actually, I do : 3

Sunny: you are like the third person to point out this line specifically and it's FUCKING HILARIOUS. Y/N was hiding behind a bush and then waited for an opportunity to jump out at him - she just wanted to fuck up his day

Star: "Grumpy.” You sighed, sounding defeated" she is everything to me !!!! oc coded reader they could NEVER make me hate you !!!! (make his life a nightmare please, we gotta)

Sunny: this is definitely inspiring me to make the reader More Annoying in future chapters <3 so thank you for that. she will be delightful for you and horrible for Dick <33

Star: "Just so you know, I hate it when you say ominous shit like that" well TOO FUCKING BAD, BITCH !!! "Just because your mother played the creepy voodoo witch for tourists doesn’t mean you have too" ... this is why your father doesn't fucking love you

Sunny: 'this is why your father doesn't fucking love you' - I laughed so hard that I almost choked on my own spit. literally, you are one of the funniest people alive to me

Star: "but his eyes weren’t drawn to your cleavage" says you 😔 YESSSS NEAR DEATH EXPERIEEEEEEENCEEEE

Sunny: firstly - his eyes weren't drawn to the cleavage because his self destructive emotions are more important than being horny 60% of the time (being horny comes second). secondly, NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!! and Dick blames himself for it <33333 which brings us back to: his self destructive emotions

Star: "This - this was why he was no fucking savior" this is just IMMACULATE !!! ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS !!!! yessssss get him on his worst qualities !!!!!

Sunny: we love his worst qualities <3 Season One Dick is an absolute Wreck and we love him for it!!!!

Star: "Well, you could be more polite.” You scoffed" i cannot even begin to explain how much I love their dynamic, it's perfect !! i like her so much

Sunny: again, this made me so giggly!!!!! I am so glad that their dynamic comes off well - it's something that I want to carry strong through the whole fic and I am so glad that people are loving it (especially you - your opinion matters to me so much <33)

Star: "Prentiss is looking for you!” *screaming and pointing* !!!!!!

Sunny: SEEEEE this is why I love using names from other media as references for random background characters. it's fun for everyone <333

Star: "But - he would call you later. Hopefully you still had the same number" you leave me dying on a hospital bed to go self flagellate, i am BLOCKING YOUR ASS !!!!!

Sunny: again, this made me fucking snort laugh. imagine Dick going through his fancy BatTech smartphone only to find that he is blocked by Vintage Hippie Girl who probably still uses a flip phone lmao (or maybe she doesn't even have a cellphone and only uses corded phones ??? like she only has a house number ??? CANON ??) (like now I am imagining that Dick keeps trying to buy a cellphone and push it on her but she is a technophobe so she doesn't carry the cellphone that he bought her, and whenever he calls her, he gets no response, which is SOOOOO annoying to him)

Star: "Oh fuck. You were right" YEAH !!!! YOU FUCKING THINK ???? YOU IDIOT !!!!

Sunny: she's always right <3 he is just stubborn

Star: once again, Im OBSESSED with their dynamic and honestly ???? Reader is also SO FUCKING INTERESTING !!!! I'm not a little dumbass coward like He is, so I for one looooooove characters being ominous and creepy (it stress me out most times but I live for it)

Sunny: AAAAAAH I am so glad that the reader is interesting!!!! I can't wait to reveal more of her backstory and reveal more of what happened between her and Dick during the OG Titans flashbacks - and things that happened during their childhood. like it's gonna be SOOOO GOOOD

One Moment Per Episode With Dick Grayson

Season One, Episode One: "Titans"

Summary:

You and Dick haven't spoken since the Titans parted ways in San Francisco five years ago.

Even though you used to be as close as two people can be, both of you are doing just fine leading your own separate lives - until your psychic powers cause you to have a vision of the end of the world, and you have to turn to him for help. As much as Dick doesn't want to get involved, you know that him leading The Raven on the path she needs to travel is the only way to stop the terrible fate you saw.

He wants to deny it, and stay as far away from you as possible - but he can't avoid you or the truth that you have told him when he runs into that very Raven you speak of in an interrogation room later that night. He has to face a simple truth he has always known: you're always right.

Dick Grayson x Fem!Powered!Reader. Childhood Friends/Exes to Lovers. Emotional Angst and Bantering/Humor. Set during Season 1, Episode 1.

Word Count: 2,300

DC Titans Masterlist | AO3 Link

Detailed warnings and author's notes below the cut.

Warnings: the reader uses she/her pronouns (some people might accuse the reader character in this story of being more of an OC and I am okay with that - I try to make all the reader characters in my other stories as blank and open as possible and every now and then I let myself have a little bit of a treat) - but as usual with my stories, the majority of pronouns used in the fic are you/yours; other than clothing style and a scar that informs her backstory, the reader's looks are not described and are left vague (as far as race, body type, hair colour, etc. - those things are not described); the reader character does have powers - I might make a separate post detailing the reader's entire backstory and power set (or I might just let it be spelled out slowly through the chapters) - but for now, I will tell you that the reader character is psychic and can see glimpses of the future in dream-like visions; the reader and Dick are 'exes' - their relationship was never official (they never explicitly called each other boyfriend/girlfriend), but they used to have sex often (and they both have feelings for each other that they never openly spoke about), and they are childhood friends, so there is a lot of emotional history there; mentions of canon-typical violence; this fic does use Y/N; mentions of the reader being shot during a past undescribed incident; there is references to sex and discussions of sex, but no explicit smut (but there might be some later in the story? idk yet); emotionally constipated Dick Grayson; idk what else ? - pining, emotional angst, using humor to deflect emotional tension, banter. I just really like the vibes of this. there is not a lot of big content warnings for this fic (yet).

A/N: Honestly, I am really excited about this one. I have a lot of ideas for future episodes (especially the episode where Dick loses it emotionally and just gets followed around by a hallucination of Bruce for the entire episode - but that's not until Season 2, oop). Titans is one of my favourite series ever - if you couldn't tell - so getting to examine each episode closer and appreciate each individual episode as a unique piece of art while writing this instead of binging a whole season gives me a whole new appreciation for the show. I hope you guys enjoy these as they come out - especially because I do have an idea of where this fic is going, but I don't know where I want these characters to go in Season 4. (I kind of want to do a secret surprise reveal of two of the characters being related and being siblings, but... idk. Sometimes people don't like that.) But this is definitely a good opportunity to send me ideas of where you want this story to go/how you want it to end up. Anyway - please enjoy!!!

....

Dick needed some fucking air. 

He could barely fucking handle today. He had to compose himself before he lost it and started breaking things. It was all such a shitshow - the department pushing a new partner on him, footage of Robin all over the news, every other half-cocked beat cop making comments about how Robin was just another masked psychopath who wasn’t that different from The Joker. 

Fuck them. 

If they only knew what Gotham was like - if only they had to deal with a department full of asshole’s on the Joker’s payroll. If only they had to watch criminals walk away because they made bail on the decision of a corrupt judge. If only they had to sit behind a desk and listen to a mother’s sobs as she begged for him to find her missing child - knowing how many people elbow to elbow with him would laugh at her tears rather than start looking. 

If they only spent one night tending to civilians while the smell of burning flesh permeated the air, with the Joker’s screaming laugh stuck in their ears because he thought that bombing a low-income housing complex was just that funny. 

Fuck all of them. 

Dick clenched his fist tight - his knuckles aching as he resisted the urge to drive his arm right through the glass at the front of the precinct. He just - he really needed some air. 

Dick walked out the front doors (rather than smashing the glass), and took a deep breath of the cool night air, trying his best to calm down. It was getting late, and things were relatively slow, even for it being a Tuesday. No influx of late-night chaos yet. He had some time to collect himself before- 

“So - Robin’s in Detroit now, huh?” 

That voice. 

Dick felt the sting of familiarity pluck at his spine, and he whipped his head around at lightning speed, looking in the direction of the voice. Surely enough - you were the one standing there. It hadn’t been some kind of auditory hallucination on his part. 

So much for time to calm himself down. 

He was immediately met with a confliction - lust and annoyance bubbling up inside of him. He didn’t want to see you again, he didn’t want you to be here, especially not without warning. But you looked so damn good - it was a distraction from that fact. 

That was always the thing about exes, wasn’t it? 

(If Dick could even call you his ‘ex’ - the two of you had slept together more times than he could count, both metaphorically and literally, but the two of you had never put an official label on the relationship like he had with Dawn or Barbara. He cared for you like a friend, and like a lover in a way that he was never willing to admit - but did that make you his ex? Especially if he never stopped caring about you?) 

That thing about exes being: they always look so fucking good when you see them after a long time of being apart. The universe dangling something in front of you that you’re not allowed to have and technically, should no longer want. 

But oh - Dick found himself wanting so very badly. (And he tried his hardest to hide that fact as he continued to carefully stare you down.) 

Because you looked so good. 

You were wearing something of your usual style - an outfit of many confusing layers that somehow showed off the natural curves of your body and hid you all at the same time. 

A long skirt with a ruffled hemline and bold, colorful pattern. A pair of boots that you had probably gotten from some vintage store that were likely older than both you and Dick, leathery and well worn in. Your jacket was much the same - a supple brown leather with a soft fur lining that made you look very warm and cozy. 

Topped off with a pair of the largest, gaudiest dangling earrings that Dick had ever seen - the kind that would have gotten snagged on one of his nice shirts and gotten the two of you tangled up during one of your hook-ups. A pair of earrings that he would have scolded you for wearing - but he would have delighted in finding them on his bedroom floor after you left because it meant having a piece of you still with him. And it would mean having an excuse to visit you later because he had something of yours to return. 

Those earrings glistened in the light of the street lamps, just as your eyes did while you stared him down with those inquisitive, knowing eyes. Looking at him with that same expression you always wore - the one that seemed to say you knew everything that he never would. It equally fascinated him and infuriated him. 

He hated the fact that you had seemingly appeared out of nowhere, causing his heart to race - had you snuck up on him on purpose? Did you find it funny? 

“Y/N,” Dick said your name curtly, still feeling a slight twinge of shock that you were standing in front of him at all. “What the fuck are you doing here?” 

You let out a dry chuckle, and stepped closer to him, making his whole body stiff. His first instinct was to step backward - to gain more distance from you. But he didn’t want to seem like he was afraid of you - afraid of that closeness. So he forcefully locked his legs and stayed in place as you drifted closer, and you idly conversed back. 

“Oh, Dickie.” You sighed in return, using his childhood nickname. “A warm welcome as always.” 

Dick rolled his eyes at this. Did he really need to bother with manners and formalities? The two of you had known each other for so long, he guessed that you were both well over stuff like that. 

“Do I need a reason to be here? Can’t I just visit an old friend?” You posed, a humorous tone still running through your voice. 

He shoved his hands into his pockets as he took a more defensive stance. He quickly went from shock then to annoyance. 

The two of you were old friends - you had known each other since you were in diapers together. The two of you had grown up together, raised by a unique circus family. And that meant that Dick knew you well enough to know that if you were here, you had a good reason to be. 

(If you had wanted to chase him when he first left Gotham, you likely would have camped out in the trunk of his car, or you would have shown up at his new apartment the day after he moved in. You wouldn’t have waited this long to contact him.) 

“Do us both a favor and cut the bullshit, please.” Dick replied sternly. “Why are you here?” 

“Grumpy.” You sighed, sounding defeated. 

He waited for a moment, and surely enough - you folded, now willing to directly explain your reason for showing up in Detroit so suddenly. 

“I had a vision.” You explained. “A girl. The Raven. A lot of others consider her to be the eater of worlds, but she is the one who is going to save us all, Dick.” 

He let out a harsh puff of air, reaching up and running fingers roughly over his temple. Yup, there it was - the headache had fully set in now. He really didn’t need this. Not tonight. 

He had known about your visions for a long time. When he was younger, he had been shocked to find out that you had inherited your mother’s ‘gift’. He previously had no clue that her set-up as a sideshow fortune teller with Tarot cards and a large crystal ball wasn’t all psychology tricks and half-guesses she put on for tourists - but in fact, it was actually something informed by larger supernatural forces at play. And it was something you could do as well. 

So he was inclined to believe you when you told him about this vague vision, but he also didn’t want to be involved. He had a lot on his plate right now - he didn’t need this. 

“Look, I’m sure that whatever you saw was important, but-” He began. 

You sighed and shook your head harshly at this ‘but’. 

“Why don’t you just take it to New York instead? This kind of thing is way more Donna’s speed, anyway. I’m sure she can help you find this girl, and-” 

“That won’t help.” You told him. “The girl is already on her way here.” 

You spoke the words with such utter certainty, and it sent shivers up Dick’s spine. The calm, tranquil look on your face - the ominous wiseness you held: it reminded Dick so much of your mother. The other-worldly authority she held that had ultimately gotten her killed. It was strangely creepy. 

“Just so you know, I hate it when you say ominous shit like that.” Dick told you, gesturing to your person with stiff offense in his body. “Just because your mother played the creepy voodoo witch for tourists doesn’t mean you have to.” 

“I’m not playing.” You replied, exasperated. 

You knew that Dick could be frightened of your powers at times. He was someone very logic-based - he built his beliefs around facts. So having you follow your visions and your ‘gut feelings’ when they were never concrete, changing on a dime - he hated the uncertainty and chaos that came with it all. But you had learned to trust yourself and your feelings over time, even if he didn’t. 

“And you know, you’re involved in this whether you want to be or not.” You told him, trying to get the conversation back on track. “I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Robin made his first appearance in months last night.” 

Dick became stiff at this, and quickly glanced around - as though waiting for someone to appear out of nowhere and point an accusing finger at him, screaming out that he was Robin and he had been caught. 

“You can’t help it, Dick Grasyon.” You declared with intense certainty. “You need to save people, you need to feel like you’re making a difference, you-” 

“So what, now you expect me to save the whole fucking world?” Dick snapped back. 

“She does.” You corrected. 

“Who?” He replied - confused and once again annoyed at your mysticism and bold confidence in your visions. 

“The Raven.” You told him. “She needs you. And whether you like it or not, you need her.” 

You shifted your stance then, waiting for him to tell you that you were right - which was how most of your arguments ended. 

But then, as a sick reminder, the lapel of your jacket opened enough for Dick to get a glance at your chest. The neckline of your blouse was wide open, but his eyes weren’t drawn to your cleavage - instead, he became focused on a large scar that you had sitting over your heart. A place where a bullet had ripped through you, leaving you barely alive. 

He still remembered the feeling of your blood warm under his hands while you looked up at him with tears in your eyes, begging him to save you. He remembered sitting at your bedside, believing that you would never wake up again. 

He couldn’t help but to reach up and gently skim his thumb across the roughness of the scarred skin as he glared at it with a stiff jaw. The touch sent shivers through you - it was the first time he had touched you since that last night in Gotham, when you had woken up to an empty bed and absolutely no explanation as to where he had gone. 

Dick felt rage boil inside of him. 

How could you ask him to save the world when he had been responsible for this? 

This - this was why he was no fucking savior. 

“You shouldn’t be here.” He said, choking on the words slightly as he took his hand down, shoving it back into his pocket once again. He had to avoid the temptation of touching you any further. 

If you weren’t safe around him, why would some little girl from your visions be? 

“This isn’t about me.” You scoffed. “Or-” 

‘Or us.’ 

You held back, knowing how dangerous it was to mention the royal Us around flighty Dick Grayson. For a bird without wings, he was absolutely capable of taking off in a quick moment when he wanted to. 

“This is about something so much bigger.” You pressed. “She’ll be here soon.” 

Dick let out another strained sigh at you using such ominous words again. 

“Well, next time you’re gonna come here and be all ominous and creepy, you should at least bring some coffee.” He told you, sarcasm tight on his lips. 

You made a mocking face in return. 

“Well, you could be more polite.” You scoffed. 

Before Dick could recommend that the two of you go and get a coffee in order to truly catch up, someone called out his name, drawing his attention away from you for a moment. 

“Hey, Grayson!” Someone called, sticking their head out the front door. “Prentiss is looking for you!” 

When he turned back, you were gone. He tried not to linger on it too much - how creepy it was. You were silent and quick like a ghost - he thought that your ominous jewelry might jingle like a house cat’s bell. 

But - he would call you later. Hopefully you still had the same number. 

…

Dick walked into the interrogation room, trying to clear his mind of the interaction with you. When he saw a small, scared girl, he thought it best to lighten the mood with a joke. 

“Hi, I’m Detective Grayson.” He said, introducing himself. “I hear you like to play baseball with bricks and cop cars. You wanna tell me what happened?” 

“You’re him.” She said, whimpering and tearful. “You’re the boy from the Circus.” 

At first, Dick thought that everyone was simply being ominous and creepy today. But then he realized:

‘Oh fuck. You were right.’

...

A/N: Please do not ask me when this fic will be updated - this fic does not have a schedule.

While this is technically the first chapter in a 'series', each chapter is meant to be enjoyed on its own. The overarching plot of the series is still that of the original Titans show, and I won't be making any major changes to the canon of the show - I just intend to showcase smaller emotional moments between the reader character and the canon characters. This is something I want to work on casually in the background between working on other things. This fic is not my main focus, and I will not be rushing to update it or complete it.

Comments and reblogs are encouraged, and I am thankful for them - but please keep those comments focused on the actual content of the series (it's plot, the characters, their dynamics, etc.). Please do not spam me asking me to update this or asking me when I will update this - because I am not in a rush to do so. I have a lot of ideas for this series that I am excited about, but I want to work on it slowly and casually because I don't want to lose my enthusiasm for it and I know that rushing will take that enthusiasm away.

If you enjoyed this - great, thanks. But if you expect this to be updated weekly like a factory pumping out stuff on a clearly outlined schedule - then you are in the wrong place. If you are expecting constant updates of this fic and you will be disappointed if it doesn't get updated regularly - you should just block me now and pretend you didn't read it. But if you are a patient person - feel free to read and enjoy my other Titans works while I am working on updates for this (and working on other exciting things), and feel free to send me a message telling me what you thought of this fic or other fics in general.

Also - if you can't get Dick Grayson off your mind - my requests are open.

ARKWRIGHT'S PREPTOBER LESSONS: How your Major Character affects everything in their own bastard ways through their Character Flaw

First day I don't feel like poo let's gooooooo

Your Plotlines can be strong, but if your Major Character, or Protagonist, falls flat, the entire story will plummet.

I think that's the hardest part about being a writer: there's so many goddamn steps to making a convincing story. PLOT A can be thrilling, PLOT B heartbreaking – but if your Protagonist isn't convincing as a human, it won't really hit the reader like it should.

Last lesson, which you can teleport to by pressing here, we expanded on PLOT B, your emotional subplot to the story that gives all that action heart. In ours (yes, we're still dealing with the Major Character that's trying to escape Florida, I've written myself into a hole and will be damned if I put down the shovel now), it was a shattered relationship between a Father and their kid, the distance from long work hours and being at the demands of The Man™ eventually running an emotional rift between him and his child, Major Character. Especially after Little Sibling got a more involved Father.

But that story, that plotline, doesn't mean shit if we don't have a Protagonist that doesn't at least feel a little human. A little flawed, a little nuanced. You don't have to have a little gremlin of a character but like, if you wanna, go ahead. There's no rules. Make a goblin. But your character should be flawed, in some sense, so they can logically get trapped in the situations they find themselves in throughout the plot. Here's how we do that.

So, in our story, our Protagonist, if it wasn't obvious, is Major Character. That's actually their full name! Major Protagonist Character.

Sure, let's go with that.

So Major Character...isn't known for making the best choices. Looking at PLOT A alone, that becomes an obvious fact: who in their right mind tries to evacuate from a storm after it's ripped through the area? You should either go before, or wait till the worse has passed.

That's where we introduce Character Flaw. This is going to be your biggest key to betraying your Major Character throughout the story.

Now, despite it being called Character Flaw, it doesn't necessarily have to be a negative thing.

Just something that repeatedly gets your character into trouble. It can be unwavering loyalty that makes a character possessive and aggressive (Looking at you, Percy Jackson); a parental love that creates not a mother bear, but a mother monster (hey, Scarlet Witch!); someone so devoted to the idea of family that they avoid seeing the toxicity until it's too late (I'm still upset about Arthur Morgan). Sometimes, the best flaw can actually be their best attribute! Isn't that fucked?

But there's also validity in making the Character Flaw...a flaw. We're not perfect – every person on this planet has something that affects their life negatively. A piece of them that can honestly hinder their ability to find progress sometimes. It's valid, and good, when your Major Character has that issue too.

It should also be very obvious, as soon as you can establish it. Usually, this can be accomplished by either something low risk that doesn't really affect the narrative but definitely shows (like Delsin Rowe tagging his brother's election billboard in the beginning of inFAMOUS: Second Son), or something so fucking wild that it sends us straight into the Inciting Incident (Percy throwing Nancy Bobofit into a fountain and pissing off his monster-in-disguise teacher after bullying Grover). Both work well, in my opinion.

In my little made up tale, it's evident immediately, but reinforced quickly: Major Character has a hard head, and doubles down when they're wrong. They didn't think they'd need to evacuate despite Father Character's insistence, and now their garden apartment is flooded. And instead of doing the logical thing, like reaching out for help or finding a friend to crash with, they...proceed to try and fucking move in the middle of a natural disaster. Because it's the hurricane's fault this is happening to them.

And, technically, it is. Giving the Major Character validation in their shit thinking is important too, at least in the beginning. It feeds back into their worldview and allows them to continue making their bad decisions. Lessons can't be learned in the beginning, or else we lose that great stupidity.

Your Character Flaw will show in PLOT B as well; in our story, it's Major Character butting heads with the mirror of theirself, Father Character. A man just as hardheaded, just as quick to double down, but with the unbearable trait to also love yelling I told you so. By hearing those words, Major Character doubles down, moving forward with the idea of moving on.

As they come to the flooded roadway, their thinking here contributes to the drowning of Kia Hatchback. In Florida, the term turn around, don't drown is beaten into us in middle school, reinforced with yearly seminars on the dangers of driving distracted and without caution in high school, and – if my little cousin is to be believed – an actual question that you have to answer in order to get your permit. So Major Character driving into a flooded roadway isn't because of ignorance – unless we're counting their own. Their Hatchback has made it through so much shit already – it was struck by lightning at some point – a small flooded roadway isn't gonna do much to it. What's the worse that can happen, the car gets cleaned off? oooooh nooooo

And now it's a buoy. Good job, Major Character.

But they double down here on the decision, especially after hearing their family evacuated without them. They can get themselves out of this issue alone. They'll show Father Character. They'll get out of Florida, move to some cozy little cabin in the mountains, and Father Character will be lucky if he ever gets invited to stay for Christmas.

Somewhere between Plot Point One and Plot Point Two, the Character Flaw should begin to look like Major Character is grasping at straws to rationalize it. It should become fully apparent to the reader at this time that they're a little fuckin' stupid. We become really privy to the logical fallacy Major Character is trying to sell us on, but this is a one way communication – and Major Character sure isn't taking any calls right now. Not from Father Character, not from Little Sibling, and not from logic.

bUT they continue to make these bad choices. For plot reasons. Obviously.

Eventually, they rationalize themselves into a hole, usually known as Plot Point Three of PLOT A . Those grisly children birthed from this plot point, the Disaster, Crisis and Absolve? Remember those? They're going to be the breaking points of your Major Character's system of thinking. Finally, things are too big to ignore, too serious to blame away on anything else. Them, their thinking, and their choices got them stuck up shits creek without a paddle. Or up an elm tree with no gator bait. Whichever.

The Character Flaw will have to be faced as part of your Disaster-Crisis transitional period. Usually, it's the cause of the transition. "Why did I do this to myself?" they'd ask just as the worse of the danger calmed, leaving them to wallow in the seas of self pity as they realize what we did a few stops back; they're idiots.

And right here is where you make a big choice in your story: do you want them to change their ways, permanently, for the better? Do you want them to see reason, but soon slip back into their bad choices? Do you want their Character Flaw to evolve further still, and cause them even more hell as they descend into the madness of mistakes? Or, do they use that Character Flaw's positive attributes?

Wait what? A Character Flaw can have positive attributes?

Yeah, bud. They all do. Even the worse bits of humanity know how to turn their abilities around to favor them! An opportunistic megalomaniac can often find themselves in power because they know how to play the narrative to get there. A Loyal-To-A-Fault character is still loyal. Someone seeking revenge uses that anger as fuel to keep forward, persevering to the end. The worse of a person can also create their best qualities. It's scary, it's poetic – and it's waiting for you to exploit it in your story.

To get a good flaw, though, you'll have to know your Major Character thoroughly, which means you'll have to take them from an idea, to a 3 Dimensional Being. That's what I'll cover in my next Academics; what I do to make a character feel more real. Until then, have fun with the last 10 days till the hell of NaNoWriMo!

[you-cant-spell-subtext-without]

Before we start, I'd like to say that the below combination....speaks to me, on a personal level.  

WHEW. 

12x02: Mamma Mia

This episode *eyeroll* - there were like...five? good things about it. 

(Mary Winchester as the OG John Winchester Apologist not being one of them.)

wrong.

Anyway, here is the only good stuff from 12x02.

1.

INTERIOR: SAM AND TONI ARE IN BED RELAXING AND HOLDING GLASSES OF WINE.

For the life of me this is the ONLY DECENT THING I CAN FIND FOR this scene and I do not understand how that’s possible.  You can’t even see her face.  Damn.

There are so many good shots in this!!!! Someone make me a better .gif.  Maybe cut Sam out of it?

Update: semi-acceptable follow-up image:

Sexual escapades are actually a continuing theme in the torture:

TONI 

Good morning, Sam. Let's start again, shall we? Take our time. I've cleared my calendar. I would like names and locations of every Hunter... the passcodes to each and every Men of Letters database held in the bunker, and then – oh, yes – let's do discuss your relationship with the demon Ruby.

** Can’t find the actual reaction to this, so hey let’s play Sam reacts but wrong episodes ONLY**

SEXUAL ESCAPADE THEME RECURS HERE:

[INTERIOR: THE CELLAR, TONI LOOKS OVER HER TORTURE TOOLS AND PICKS UP BRASS KNUCKLES. SHE WALKS OVER AND SLUGS DEAN.]

TONI: Passcodes, Sam. Not yet?

[TONI LOOKS OVER AT DEAN WHO’S CHAINED WITH HIS HANDS OVER HIS HEAD.]

TONI: Anything to add?

DEAN: No. No, I just came by for some tea and a beating.

[TONI: PUTS DOWN THE BRASS KNUCKLES AND PICKS UP A CUP OF TEA.]

TONI: Really? See, I thought you might be on for a little chat about your mate, Benjamin Lafitte. I'm sorry. You called him Benny. You know, the vampire whom you released from Purgatory and...befriended. 

***she sips her fucking tea after she says “befriended” suggestively.  SHE. SIPS. HER. TEA.  This is not a drill***

I see. Well... the English are nothing if not patient.

BONUS - actual footage of Lady Motherfucking Antonia Bevell deciphering the past 11 seasons of subtext in respect to Dean’s sexuality:

Bi!Dean confirmed.  

QUEEN DID NOT COME TO PLAY.

2. 

Dean’s spiral at the bunker 

CASTIEL: Okay, I understand. I'll call you in the morning.

[WHILE TALKING, DEAN RISES AND STARTS PACING.]

DEAN: Cass, hey. So, here's the thing. It's been kind of weird here with, you know, Mom being back. It's like we don't know how to act around each other, so we just kind of make this small talk and act normal, but it's – it's so not normal.

CASTIEL: Um, I'm – I'm not sure. What – what has she said to you?

DEAN: Well, nothing. That – that – that's the whole point.

CASTIEL: Okay, what have you said to her?

CASTIEL HANGS UP.

DEAN: Yeah. Great. That's helpful. Thanks.

***Dean is so OPEN with Cas on this call.  You can tell this is a deeper, different dynamic and it really shows how close they’ve gotten after that heart wrenching Season 11 finale. these NEWLYWEDS. they are in a RELATIONSHIP.  And Cas’s terrible attempt at helping also shows how new and fresh it is, how they’re working through how to “be” this new way together, Dean still working on how to express feelings without spiraling, Cas clumsily trying to support him.  I AM GOOOOOOO.  

This is a fucking warm blanket.

Also confirmed by the subsequent scene, because otherwise WHY EVEN HAVE THIS DIALOGUE in the follow-up call:

DEAN

Hey, Cass, what do you got?

[EXTERIOR: DAY, CASTIEL IS STANDING SLIGHTLY BEHIND A VERY LEAFY TREE.]

CASTIEL

I think I may have found Sam's location. It's a farm. It appears empty, but it was rented two weeks ago to a woman with an English accent.

[DURING THE CONVERSATION THE SCENE SWITCHES BETWEEN THE BUNKER AND THE EXTERIOR OF THE FARMHOUSE.]

DEAN

Did you have a look inside?

CASTIEL

No No, it's – it's powerfully warded.

***Cas asks because he’s not sure if Dean is trying to talk about his feelings again or if it’s still about the case, because this is THAT NEW (and he probably had an ENTIRE headcase moment about his prior horrific attempt to “help” so he’s worked up all sorts of tidbits of advice for next time) *** <- can someone ficlet this little plot hole? I need it in my life.

THAT IS THE ONLY REASON TO HAVE THIS HERE.  THERE IS NO OTHER REASON.

BONUS:

Remember Castiel’s pimp mobile?

That new husband energy:

HES SO DAPPER HERE.  All the heart eyes.

3.

Helpful husband moment

[EXTERIOR: DAY, OUTSIDE THE FARMHOUSE. THE IMPALA PULLS UP. CASTIEL IS LEANING AGAINST THE TRUCK. DEAN AND MARY EXIT THE IMPALA AND WALK UP TO CASTIEL.]

DEAN

Where's all this warding you mentioned?

CASTIEL

It's cloaked. It's very powerful. You brought your mother?

MARY

Hello, Castiel. Yes, he did.

DEAN

You sure there's anyone inside?

CASTIEL

No. The agent said the lease was handled long distance, but someone warded the house.

DEAN

I'm gonna go have a closer look.

[MARY STARTS TO FOLLOW DEAN.]

DEAN: Mom, I got this.

[DEAN SHAKES HIS HEAD IN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT THEN LOOKS TO CASTIEL FOR HELP.]

DEAN: Thanks.

[[DEAN LOOKS AT CASTIEL GRATEFULLY AND WALKS AWAY.]

***This entire scene deserves a thorough rewatch. Go watch it now.  Bathe in the serotonin.  I watched it probably 6 times. THE BODY LANGUAGE.  THE FACIAL EXPRESSIONS.  Cas saying “you brought your mother” because he KNOWS how worried and overprotective Dean is of her, already.  This is Destiel peak supportive husband and Mary is realizing it and its just all so fucking cute and happy. Bravo to all of your Acting Choices!  

4.

PIEEEEEEE

I will not go into my PhD dissertation about how pie is a metaphor for the true happiness and love Dean Winchester desires and DESERVES but feels like he cannot have because it will be snatched away from him.

I will not go into it at this time.  (It will also make me even ANGRIER about what they DID TO PIE in 15x20. I am still healing).

I repeat, I will not go in to it - unless -

5.

Kitchen confidential

Look where Dean is relaxing, with a beer or 3, and looking at old family pictures at the end.  It’s not his room.

It’s the kitchen.  He’s just hanging out in the kitchen, comfortably as if he does this often.

Remember when Lucifer was possessing Cas in 11x18 and we had this scene, where Cas is in his head but in the Winchesters’ kitchen and - I wondered -

If his happy place 

was

the Winchesters’ kitchen.  And why.

THIS SHOW.

I guess the good in this episode took up more space than expected.  I’m sorry for spamming you guys with this long, back to back Season 12 content, but I have a dossier.  

And I’m just getting started.

BONUS:

MICK

Here’s my number.

Also, picturing this, but in Casifer, said TO Rick Springfield.

[moonsoupstar-ao3]

Chapter 5! (I'm so not ready for this lmao) (AS ALWAYS, NOT SPOILER FREE FOR NON-MANGA VIEWERS)

I hate Izumo's mother

I KNOW SHE SACRIFICED HERSELF AT THE END BUT THAT WAS LITERALLY THE MINIMUM

I also blame the ones who raised her like that, but c'mon

Shima looks so cute

PAKUUUUUUUUU SCENE CHECK, GOOD CHAPTER ALREADY

I still can't look at Rin face unless is when he's making a silly face

Something tells me that Mephisto was being a shitty, little brother and that was part of his decision to made his own organization to ruin's Lucifer's one lmao

The timing is too good not to be truth

Love that they added that Yukio wanted to tell them more but couldn't

Almost ten minutes had passed already wtf

Miwa having such confidence in his friends is one of my favorite things in the manga

Highlighting that only Suguro and Takana could eat Shiemi's sandwich

Rin way to cheer up his friends: violence time!!!!!!

Pls stop showing scenes from previous seasons, it's just making me want to punch the ones who animated Rin even more

LIKE FR WHY THE BIG CHANGE?????

EVERYONE ELSE LOOKS FAIRLY SIMILAR

Yikes

I'll give them something, and is that they sure know how to animate fight scenes and close ups

Expressions too, even the small details

The pig scientist looks rightfully ugly compared to the others, which is great

SHIMA GIVING HER ADVICES PIPIPIPIPI

My guy here is trying to play double agent and tough guy but he really can't help himself

Need to reassure and advice his friends :( <3

I know I said "I really love" a lot BUT I MEAN IT EACH TIME

Anyway! I really love Mephisto's scenes in this season (still not forgive them for taking away my pointy ears troll clown)

Repairing the barrier and saving Shura from a hit on the floor >>>>>>

Baby try to act like he doesn't care about the low worms but still going out of his way to protect them when they're in a weak or slightly disadvantage state

(yes, I remember each time he did not help or purposely putting them in situations, I won't take my words back)

THEY REALLY MAKING MIWA DO A VIBE CHECK SJBDBDKSJD

I'm so in love with this anime I swear

Yeah Takara! Make the Order pay the bills! No mercy, no mercy!

I need to highlight too that when Takara summons Mike, is probably one of the only times he's respectful with someone else lmao

I can't wait for them to show kid!Shima's scene asking to be a spy

I love that he said "Well, not that a girl would have that option", my boy is aware and we love him for it

Yeah he's quite the creep sometimes but he rarely does anything wrong towards other, even the only times he goes or plans to sneak into the girl's sections are for mission's reason lmao

10/10 he's making a fake reputation for cover and no one can change my mind

THE SLAP

Bro was holding back tears when Izumo said she considered him a comrade (friend) and then called him a traitor lmao

IZUMO'S 16YO NOW GUYS FUCKING SHIT LEAVE MY GIRL ALONE

The doctor (the pig one) always creeps me out, but every time I remember our protagonists are all minor it just make it worse

IZUMO'S PAST NEXT CHAP LET'S GOOOOOOO

I barely feels the time passing when seeing this ugh, so good so sad

I started watching aoex season 3

So I decided to share my thoughts as I see the chapters (NOT SPOILER FREE)

Chapter 1:

not a full fan of the new art style but not a hater either

can't forgive them for taking away my troll clown though

also the voice, dunno, maybe I'm remembering the voice wrong in past seasons but yeah, not for me (especially when he says "eins, zwei, drei" I just feel like is the wrong tone)

also, I love the pace of the chapter but am really bitter that they cut the bestism (Angel & Lightning) first show time together so short

THE GEHENNA SCENE WAS SOOOOOO, loved the light hint to trigger response from Rin

uhhhhh what else....

THE SHAPESHIFTER BATTLE

so, so good, when Rin, Izumo, and Shima attacked and the camera was moving I didn't know where to look at

I'MMA FIGHT WITH MY BARE HANDS ANYONE WHO DARES SAYS MY BOY RIN ISN'T SMART AFTER THIS SEASON

alright then, time for chapter 2 :D

[finnskeeper]

Critical Role - Campaign 1 (Thoughts Machina): Episodes 112-115

AKA: THE END IS NIGH

ROFL Scanlan with a 31 Charisma check...God Tier

DO NOT KILL J'MON

Is that a fucking DRACOLICH MATTHEW??

A million plans, none of them work. Peak D&D

ROFL Kiki rolling a 1 on her Stealth check then full on crossed arms Dracula falling into the earth as an earth elemental to escape is so good and I love her for it

VEX YOU HAVE THE GATE STONE. VEX. YOU HAVE THE GATE STONE.

Well that definitely happened

Vax don't go back. If you go back to the door, Vecna will know where the door is!

I love the mental image of ethereal Vex jumping around the sword's location as earth elemental Kiki searches frantically

All of these failed investigation checks - I'm convinced this is why Marisha made a high Int character for C2

Sam what are you wearing on your head?

Cosmic Bear!

Hey there Delilah...

AND SYLAS?

BITCH BYE

Man, Grog seriously needs to stop talking to swords

It's such a trip to hear them talking about Artagan

Marisha in C1: Maybe Artagan will help us! He liked us before! Marisha in C2: If I see Artagan, I'm going to punch him in the face.

"I wish to strangle you until death." Entire table loses it.

"This is so fucked up." MATT YOU DID THIS

Oh god...Liam is doing goodbye stuff.

Oh, this guest PC is cool

Fuck you Delilah!

Hey Sylas got away. Surely that's not going to come back to bite them.

Undead Delilah!! That is terrible and great

Aldor?!?  NOOOOO

Oh god...is Lyra okay? WHAT ABOUT ZAHRA AND KASH?

MATTHOLOMEW

Oh...oh no...Kaylie and Cassandra...that is super fucked up

Laura is a WRECK

MATT YOU ARE EVIL

WE JUST FIXED THAT TEMPLE

Okay, but that sundered map is dope

Oooohhh...poor Velora. We can fix that later.

Travis: "Matt, Matt, let's just...call a truce."

LET'S GOOOOOOO....I'm so glad Kash and Z are okay

Aaaaaand they're gone

WHAT BABY, ZAHRA??

Man, it would have been so cool if Matt could have figured out a way to kaleidoscope all of the season's guest stars into the finale. I know it's not feasible, but my nerd heart can dream.

How in the world is there still an hour and a half to go?

"I was gonna save Vax." awww...Scanlan...bud-dee

LIAM STAHP

ROFL bye Arkhan

Oh Kash...I have missed your quirky sense of humor

Uh...Grog? You maybe wanna put that sword down?

Do we really need to think about Sylas right now? You guys just defeated a god. Take a breather.

Oh god...it's gonna happen soon...I'm not ready

PIKE!

Oh here we go...Marisha is already a mess

Percy no...that's not...

Liam has begun his goodbyes....how long can I maintain composure (it's a trick question, I never had it)

MATT'S CRYING...GODDAMMIT MATT I CANNOT HANDLE THIS ALREADY

"I will tell your mother that you say hello." I am now a blubbering mess.

Level 20 baby

"I know it's arcane. Shut up, it's fine." ROFL I love Allura

GROG

I love Matt's face. He was not prepared for this.

ROFL, you pulled the worst card but it's the last ep so we'll just gloss over that and say you're okay. EPILOGUE TIME

Scanlan and Pike HEA? More likely than you think.

Tary!

ROFL Marisha's face when Grog turned himself in...

Man, I was mostly okay until LIAM started crying...

"And every day that raven comes to visit" is such a badass closing line to this campaign. Well done.

CLOSING THOUGHTS

So much more of the fandom makes sense now, as do some of the C2 jokes. My friend is just starting C2, and she posts all of the jokes and nods to C1 and I totally get them now! All in all, I’m kind of glad I watched C2 first, but I am also glad to have experienced C1. Though I do wonder what my reaction would have been to the Artagan reveal had I known who he was from the beginning.

Next up for me is getting caught up on all of the one-shots and smaller sesh stuff like Undeadwood.
