Even if I haven't been very active lately, 9 years is still pretty significant- happy birthday to the blog!
So like Percy up there I'm gonna do so dome reflecting. This blog's where I've often done that for some reason, but here's the tl'dr for blog related stuff.
ā€¢ I would like to keep drawing stuff but feeling generally unsure in myself, and I'm wondering if all the years of fandom harrassment have caught up with me ā€¢ I have one big project in mind, I've been dipping my toe into what I'd need to do it. No spoilers but it was one of the first things I played around with this series, so do with that what you will ā€¢ If I can keep myself drawing, I want to use more of the original source material since I'm struggling with original ideas. So stuff like redraws, hOpEfULlY even animatics, just like what originally got me so into trains yknow? Because that's fun and sparks joy. And that always goes down a treat with you guys so bonus ā€¢Ā As always I appreciate you guys not coming after me for being so inconsistent
The rest of this is me doing what Percy's doing in the drawing and reflecting, as there is indeed much 2 think about. It's also a little sad and venty so, there's your warning there.
.
Ok so obviously a busy year, we moved into our new house that we actually own, I spent most of the year planning our wedding, and then got married. Big stuff. Also! I came off antidepressants in the summer. I've been on them for...basically as long as this blog, 6 months after I started it I think. Which also means I'd been on antidepressants my entire adult life. Feels like a big deal and I guess I'm still adjusting.
Another big thing, but sad, is that my dog died about two weeks ago. If you follow me on twitter you'll have seen her but she did make an appearance here a few Halloweens ago
Tumblr media
I got her when she was 13 and had her 8 years after that. So that's been difficult. Unrelated to that (probably), but I just feel...really mediocre. And before you point out the obvious, this has been present even before I came off antidepressants. But yeah just... mediocrity. In myself as a person, how I look, what I draw, my whole life really (barring my marriage thankfully). What have I achieved? I'm 26, I'm not working, I don't feel well, my art isn't good (I don't think so anyway- like yeah it's technically fine I guess but it's not, and has never been, very stand-out or impressive). And lately art doesn't bring me the same joy it once did, and I'm wondering if all the years of harrassment from this fandom (mostly the twitter side, tumblr's been pretty good to me) has finally caught up with me and put me off the whole thing. Or worse, that I just don't have as much of an interest in it anymore. I don't think I'll ever be like "ok yep I'm officially done with this blog" because I'm so stubborn but idk. I want to make things and be creative, I want to make more train art, but it doesn't feel the same. I don't know what's wrong. What do you listen to? What you want vs what you feel? I still enjoy train stuff, I love going to Awdry Ex every year. It's been like this for awhile. It's not even like I have a strong feeling of what I'd rather be doing as far as careers go. And even if I did, oh yeah I'm sure my two degrees in animation will be very relevant in another field (sarcasm). I feel adrift. My sails are open but there is just no wind. Planning my wedding gave me something to do and work on and just, feel useful but now that that's over I feel lost again. Losing my dog, who had become the center of my life because of how vulnerable she had become, hasn't helped.
On the more creative side of things, I also don't really know what to do with this blog's story either. The show's ended as far as most people are concerned, and I kiiinda wrote myself into a corner because once Thomas turns 18 he's going to leave for university, and that sets off this whole arc with James but basically the problem is it involves characters leaving and for some reason that feels like a no-no here. Don't get me started on the timeline lol. But Thomas works on a railway on Sodor, that's how it has to be...right? I guess I'm sort of at a crossroads of, ok do I want this to be close to the source material, and thus easily digestible to newcombers? Or do I want to make it more and more my thing and distanced from the source material? I doubt there's many new people coming since the series ended. And even then, there's a lot more humanization artists around now than when I started, so it's not like I'm filling a niche anymore. Just to be clear it's fine and also good that there's more humanization artists, variety is good, I just don't feel as "needed" anymore (which is 100% in my head and not an actual role that belongs to me or something). I started this blog when I was 17, so my interests and what I relate to have changed obviously. The character designs certainly have. It's never followed a super rigid story plan, but the core of it has always been the central cast doing things on Sodor. I however have always had a scene/project/animatic/whatEver in mind for when this 'series' would '''officially''' ''''end''''. But then what comes after that? I've always tried to run this blog like they are Real People that You interact with. But in real life there is no ending to the story, there's always more stuff to come. You get married, and it's wonderful, and then life goes on. The credits never roll. So maybe that's what I'm having trouble coping with...the progression of time. Ah, my old nemesis. I've always had trouble with letting go of things. There's nothing to say that I couldn't still draw stuff after the series "ends". I guess any story after Thomas leaves could be like... a sequel series or a spin off or something. Spin-off of a spin-off. Famous 8 All Grown Up. Famous 8 Qurter Life Crisis. Who knows. I certainly don't.
I've also been really into an original project unrelated to this but those don't get as much attention and while I'd like to do something with it one day, I don't feel very confident in being able to make that happen right now. But you know... as far my as art not being super spectacular goes... I think my individual talent has always been is my ideas, like the writing side of things. And then brought to life with my art, which normally isn't anything to write home about but is good enough to convey the idea and be not-awful to look at, lifts both of them beyond what they were individually. Maybe that's what I should focus on. Maybe that's wishful thinking.
So....idk. Idk what I'm doing but I'm trying to be gentle on myself and just let myself continue to drift, to heal from this heavy loss, and then in the New Year I'll try and pick myself up. Then there will be no more big once-in-a-lifetime events coming up, no more just-moved-into-a-house-and-oh-no-there's-a-bunch-of-things-that-need-attention-NOW scenarios, and no more big holidays for awhile. I guess we'll see.
If you read all of this I am so sorry but also thank you for reading my ramblings. And thank you for being around, whether that's been for a few months or for several years, but especially if it's been several years

Hello! I'm kinda new here in your blog and I saw those "what if a human ended on Cybertron" and I just love those stories they're so good
No need to do it now cuz idk if you are taking requests but could you make More of them? A part 6 with souls prime and amalgamous prime
hello there! thanks for letting me know that you like my stories and i will try my best as i am sort of new to Transformers. i got in to transformers thanks to Bay movies, Transformers prime, transformers animated and now Transformers One. So please forgive me if i might be incorrect. i will do my best.
What if human ended up in Transformers one.
part 6 (requests)
Tumblr media
Solus Prime
(reade in this situation are female)
Being the first fembot of Cybertron is nothing easy, especialy when you have this much weight on your shoulders. Even if she found joy in creating things, the constant need for weapons was becoming exhausting. thankfully Megatronus were there to comfort her, even if they had some fights here and there, it was something good. So when something small and week showed up on surface of Cybertron, being chased by Quintessons, the injustice towards such pathetic creature fired Solus right up and they took care of those pathetic, ugly, disgusting bug creatures. They smashed them all with their hammer, letting their fiery side out along with all the frustration, all while YOU scrambled for safety to let those huge creatures duke it out. Though you did not stayed hidden for long as you wanted. A servo reached in to the hiding spot you were in, apparently not small enough for them to reach in at all, easily puling them out. After expecting this small creature they were shocked to see that it was as same frame as her, meaning she must be not the only fembot, even if in weird fleshy body. A small creature with no clear way of defending them self against harsh environment of Cybertron. So she takes you with to Iacon to keep you safe from anything dangerous and started working on creating something to help communicate. it is a bit hard as your little chirps were hard to decipherer, but signs were easy to learn. And let's just say you were also subjected to her little experiments as now SHE had a whole new reason to create.
Tumblr media
Amalgamous Prime
Being the most unserious of all thirteen, Amalgamous felt a bit out of place time to time. he just wanted others to be a bit more... unserious all the time, this constant monogamy of data pads, meetings and fighting was surreally exhaustion for every one. He did felt a bit jealouse a bit of Solus and Megatronus since they started seeing each other, even if it was "privet secret" between 13 primes, he still wanted something else. He would venture to surface time to time, just exploring away, watching strange deer creatures "graze". Or change in to something else and joing his "subject" and wonder around Iacon. he found you in one of dark markets that he knew was illegal, yet still something about you caught his single optic. Purchasing you along with some book about "hoomans" he returned to the palace, knowing that now he had something to break the rutine. At first it was hard as you most of time hid away, to scared, but overtime you grew used to this strange bot, snickering quietly at his "tricks". after some time you were comfortable enough to laugh along side him at his little pranks.
Tumblr media
Zeta Prime
So much responsibly for one bot - having matrix of leadership, being leader of 13 Primes, taking care of entire civilization and defending them from quinteson will be a tool to any one, no mater if they were born to do this. at first Zeta refused to believe that HE - the matrix bearer - was tiered, but in the end no one can escape the truth. It did not helped that a suden raid on Quintessons ship brought a small flesh being in to his existence. so much needed to be done so taking care of something so small and fragile was really not in his plans. But he was sort of stuck with you and just kept you in a cage, for your own safety of course, he does not want any bot to step on you by excident. If you behaved and did not flipped him off or yell something in strange language - you would be reworded by being let out of the cage and let to wonder his table while he was buissy. He would drift away from data pads just to play with you, rolling pen between him and you, chuckling seeing how hard you had to push just to roll it towards him, or simply watch you doodle inside one of the pads he would push towards you, giving the smallest pen he could find to doodle in, finding that it was one of a few ways you can communicate with him through doodles. and apparently he has a new name - Crown, about which he did not complain about.

Changbin as husband is next I'm curious for his and hyunjinss
This is the longest fucking reading I've ever had so i just HAD to split it in 2 parts so bear with me. I love him but i hate him right nowšŸ˜© (no im not)
Husband Series: Changbin pt. 1
Ugh...that guyšŸ«  i bet you if i let him use up my whole deck he would. The amount of "ok last card" i had to say...and yet there was still so much gushing put...and ugh, i just can't stress enough how much into details he is and how much he wants to stress on them and make sure they don't go unnoticed or get misunderstood or overlooked. Reminds me so much of my audhd friendšŸ˜­. Anyways back on track - tho i don't even know where to begin from, i really think he used up half my deck. I just counted 23 cardsšŸ˜³ i do indeed draw a lot for the others too but thats just next level. Not on topic but i think he's a really chatty drunkšŸ˜‚ now i wanna read on them when drunkšŸ™ŒšŸ»šŸ˜‚
Ok soooo since i have so many cards ill try to combine them as much as i can and keep the messages as concise as possible so this post doesn't become a novel - the overall energy i noticed here is not so much emphasis on him as a husband but overall him as a partner in a committed relationship. Which leads me to believe he himself doesn't view marriage with such dread as the others did (there wasn't really any dread with felix bust still a certain anxiety around responsibilities, meanwhile that with changbin is absolutely nonexistent). I would say he seems himself as capable and even ready to take on that responsibility and role if the opportunity presents itself and i think he believes he'll do a good job. He's responsible, capable and can take care of it. I actually sense a feeling of pride in him about that.
Another MAJOR theme is him being a "simp" for his partner (he insists on wife). There are many cards that im trying to sum up:
He's very protective over her and doesn't let anyone say shit about her, he's giving me guard dog vibes. Also a big bodyguardy. I can see him when being out with her eyeing people and being on alert and just idk, looking scary as to scare of any weirdos before they even think about trying something. And to clear any misunderstandings up, im really not getting this coming from jealousy (not that its not there, it isšŸ˜‚, but its just 10% reason, out of 100), but rather because he wants the woman he loves to feel safe and protected around him. He wants her to be able to relax and trust that he will always have her back and keep her safe. He wants her pretty little witty head not to be bothered by ANYTHING!
More from the simpy train - looks up to her a lot and kinda puts her a bit on a pedestal. This is not a very debilitating energy but feels rather like something he has made peace with and accepts - which is that she is indeed better than him and he can never be able to reach her, which means he is incredibly lucky and appreciative of the fact a woman like that has chosen him and he tries whatever he can to live up to her standard and continue to give her reasons to stay with him and continue to love him. Although she can never love him as much as he does (thats his thoughtšŸ„²). But as i said this doesn't feel victimy to me at all but rather just seems realistic to him and he's a big boy and can accept reality for what it is and choose to feel lucky instead of beating himself up for not being good enough and self sabotage. Im actually really shocked looking at his energy because i can really feel the strength of his mind and ughh just how innovative and flexible he is. His will is just astounding and making me really happy, despite him obviously having some issues he doesn't let himself be defined by it and chooses to spin them to him favor. What an amazing guyšŸ’—
Back to the reading - so he spends a lot of time in his head, doing A LOT of 2 things. One is being thinking of his girl and what he can do to make her happy, analyzing previous conversations to see if he missed something or if he has remembered everything. Contemplating if she maybe gave him a hint about something, or if she maybe looked hesitant with something. Maybe her body language was off? He notes that. If there was any difference in her behaviour today, if she looked different. He's really putting LOTS of energy thinking about her and analyzing her and her behaviour. Again this doesn't seem to come from distrust (although he thinks of that as well, its just not his motivator, he just considers everything, thats why) but rather for his own feeling of safety. I think he is a very thoughtful and analyzing and sensitive person in nature so this may be something he always does, except when its something very important to him, and a relationship at that - he does it even more intensely. He doesn't only think about and analyze her tho. He does that to him too, to their relationship as well. He just wants to have a good understanding and overview of everything that is happening in the relationship so he has a sense of control and safety. You can always fix something if you know its broken. Or beginning to bend. You can fix the problem before the branch brakes i think is what he wants to say. And he wants things to run as smoothly as possible with them, and once again he has taken on the responsibility to make his girls life as easy and carefree as possible and how can that happen if he leaves the whole relationship in her hands?! He can't, so he doesn't his part very diligently and tries to keep up on the same level as her, emotional-intelligence-wise.
He also doesn't to just thinking but planing & organizing. So i think he takes lots of care for other stuff too like planing and booking fun dates. If he cant attend then books fun stuff for her. Provide her with the needed tools/means for her to be able to create, to indulge in her hobbies. He really loves that feminine creator energy and really wants to do his best to encourage and provide an encouraging environment for his wife to get in her feminine creator energy and bring him joy with it. Also thats really random but he's always ready and loves giving her massagesšŸ˜‚šŸ’—(after her long day of crafting). He just loves hearing about it, seeing the excitement in her voice and face. It charges him.
He also spends lots of time fantasizing about her. Reminiscing wonderful dates, imagining potential future ones, creating scenarios etc. He's just A LOT in his head, his mind is really really active, and its very occupied with his love. Also another random message, commitment and love are tied with him somehow. Im seeing he cant commit if he doesn't love but he also cant love if he can't commit. So i would say he's very extreme-y. Like he's either all in or all out. No middle ground. What i mean is he HAS to be this intense in a relationship because for him thats commitment, THATS expressing love. And if he's not able to do that, then his love and interest and enthusiasm begin to fade away. He HAS to be able to be like that in a relationship and i think often he has been labeled (or was) just WAYYY TOO MUCH for the girls he has been in a relationship with. Im seeing he can get very overwhelming and overbearing if the person he's with just isn't the person to enjoy that kind of commitment and effort. But to go back to the cards, he also fantasizes about physical stuff too, for example he's riding in the car, and for the whole ride he's imagining and giggling and wiggling his feet and twirling his hairs because he plays over and over how that one time while they were still just dating she looked him in the eyes with that wet sexy look, and how his whole body got shivers and his stomach dropped and his heart skipped and his palms got sweaty and he swears some saliva started dripping out the corner of his mouth and his knees got weak and he almost felt like he was gonna black out and by the time he came back to his senses she was already sooo close to his lips and them BAM. Fireworks everywhere. He can never forget how that wonderful kiss felt and how sweet the sexual tension and anticipation before it was. He plays stuff like that OVER AND OVER again the whole damn day.
While being on physical stuff, he is pretty horny ill say. But not in a bunny way,m where he wants to fuck 5 times a day, but rather when around his girl he's always half way up, always ready to rise for the occasion iykwim. I think he gets *excited*šŸ‘€ very easily and is just really weak when it comes to his girl. He's always ready to deliver whenever she ask, whatever she asks. Als im seeing once again he's a giver (and despite him loving head so much) he's focused on her pleasure and he can off just from watching her enjoy...whatever it is. So yeah thats thatšŸ˜‚
Bro im so tired im thinking about doing this in 2 partsšŸ˜­ im just halfway. Ok yk what im splitting it.

Sonadow fan child mega dump
Still working on the ideas, still not 100% sold on a name... Im trying to picture Sonic and Shadow's playful banter on kids names, making fun of each other's suggestions.
Naming:
I originally thought Sky or Star or even "Terra" which is Earths name. You guys gave a lot of really good ideas, too, thank you so much!!Sunny is cute, too and Rouge calls Shadow "sunshine" a lot. Maybe something to do with water or planetary stuff, given Shadow would have looked out of the ARK with Maria a lot.
I even thought about "beauty and the beast", naming her bell relating to how Bell was "like maria" or rather, the concept of clarity bells and chimes and the sound/mysticism of bells in history as spiritually healing.
Plus it's funny to think of her being like Sonic and pulling a "DING! times up!" and destroying Eggman's future projects.
"Beauty and the beast?? Isnt Maria your sister--" "I won't entertain your crude humor. Bell accepted the beast for who he was, not what he was called or what he looked to be. Despite what she was told about him, she wanted to offer him a chance to be happy. A chance we all deserve... Regardless how it ends, the beauty of that story, at least to me, is not the romance, it's about love. Love isn't strictly romantic. She saw his heart and showed it to him, and he learned that the world might label you, but it's you who decides to accept or deny that label." "Heh, you should start a podcast-- call it stuck in a PODcast :)" "I hope she get's my humor." "And what humor is that?" "I can be very funny, Sonic. You're just... too slow." ":0"
Story one, the failed son:
He's created in the lab, hidden from GUN, but using their resources. Shadow's basically desperate because a child, to him, represents Sonic's immortality. Sonic will die one day, and Shadow fears what that means--but he also is living through the child. He wants a better version of himself, a "pure" one.
Doom's blood is removed, but several embryos fail completely. He finds a new "stabilizer" in the way of a chaos emerald shard, which Sonic would have never allowed, had he known. I think at some point Shadow would become as obsessed as Gerald, which causes Sonic to back off a bit...
Basically this creates a chain reaction:
Shadow abandons the kid with Sonic, after Sonic learns about the shard and warns Shadow that this could be a disaster. Shadow hides on the ARK, fearful that one day he will be the only one strong enough to destroy/stop his child, should he lose control to the Chaos energy coursing through him. Using the power only harms him, but really, it's turning him into a uncontrollable vessel of chaos, like biolizard.
Somehow Shadow hopes that losing any attachment to the kid will allow his destruction to be easier, but to Sonic, he gave up, accepting the kid as doomed. Sonic resents this deeply, even if he doesnt outright say it...He wonders if Shadow could have helped him manage his powers.
Ultimate power:
In reality, the child's need for validation is the very reason he would lose control in the first place, desperate to control his powers. Sonic would try to convince him he can just be his normal self, not to use the powers, as they damage him each time. But the kid eventually loses it and tries to draw shadow out of the ARK by destroying everything he can, until Shadow can see him from space.
"You love this planet more than me... Then defend it, coward--"
Damn, the fight scene would be awful-- I picture him warping in and just decking the kid, how heart wrenching. I'm sure Sonic would be stuck between, unsure what to do. I'm not sure how it ends?
Myabe they remove the emerald and he dies? or he becomes goop like Chaos? maybe a chao egg is left behind, which might hint at something bigger within Shadow himself??
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Idea two, Birth:
Basically, Shadow's body evolves to grow an egg, maybe a normal Blackarm's thing that happens from time to time, maybe something to do with some Blackarms leftover idk, but point is he ends up hiding and pretending to be at GUN or on missions until finally Sonic tries to track him down and finds him laying in some forest, in labor. Technically this is Mpreg, but visually they look the same.
He reassures him, but Shadow can't understand why sonic isn't horrified.
"What do you want me to do, call you a freak and leave? I'm sure all mobians are freakish to humans, just like humans are freakish to mobians-- Hey, my little brother has two tails with a messed up joint that lets him fly! And your dad turned into a giant demonic root ball, even that comet was made of living goop all glued together, Shadow--laying an egg is the least of your worries!"
He jokes that he can have a melt down about the pregnancy being hidden later on, instead he'd rather focus on helping him. He has 3 small eggs but one begins to grow roots like the Blackarms and it takes over the other two, only making Shadow more distressed.
He wonders about taking it to the ARK, working with the commnader until they can determine that it's safe, but Sonic jokes, "You can try, but you know I won't let you take 'em, hehehe" But Shadow can feel the serious threat underlying. He doesn't want it to be treated like a monster either and wonders what the best course of action is.
"Do you really think humanity will accept this child if it looks anything like the Blackarms? If I looked any more like them?"
Story elements:
A lot of this story would be focused on Shadow's gradually rising tension as the egg grows, while sonic seems to be in a weird state of normalcy, but also struggling to actually comfort Shadow.
"Yknow, knuckles was born in an egg." "Sonic... we have no idea what's inside of this... I wasn't suppose to be fertile, let alone this! This sint a joke, sonic! What twisted creature could come from this-- what if this is just another facet of Doom's plan?! I already lost control of my mind, now I don't even have control over my body?!" Maybe Shadow and the commander already talked. He'd want to know why Shadow's suddenly requesting so much time off, only for the professor and Shadow to reveal everything. To their shock, the commander would support shadow... "Maria was like a sister to both of us... I think in her eyes... this might be my niece or nephew." The words make shadow tense, he wasn't prepared for this conversation, let alone the commander's unusual response. "You know I hate failing, Shadow-- Ive already failed her enough. I won't fail anymore. *Ahem* I expect a full report, given you've already met my grandchild..."
Remember, the commander offered shadow to come see his grandchildren in shadow the hedgehog (2004), so I'd like to think he's trying really hard to be better.
Tumblr media
Really feeling this scheme
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Guys can you help me with sonadow baby names
I have no idea what to say, but I want it to feel meaningful to Shadow, but maybe they have a real name and a "cool" name, like Sonic, Tails, y'know?
Might go with a girl? I just wanna make one to know what that looks like.
Thinking Navy. Maybe Ashen color. I think there'll start Ashen purple, later becoming darker, indigo-navy color, possibly stripes but idk, they would still have Blackarms DNA

your stories are amazing!!!
i would like to see more angst between rafe and sofšŸ„¹ like idk jealous scenes or just rafe being an asshole and then making up to her
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
ā€œš’‚š’‡š’‡š’Šš’š’Šš’‚š’•š’†š’… š’‰š’†š’‚š’“š’•š’ƒš’“š’†š’‚š’Œš’”ā€
ā”ā”ā”ā”ā”ā”ā”ā”ā”ā”ā”ā”ā”ā”ā”ā”ā”ā”ā”ā”ā”ā”ā”ā”ā”
Sofia brushed past Rafe as he opened the front door to their house, absentmindedly tossing her purse onto the couch as she stands in the middle of the living room with her hands perched akimbo and her countenance marred into an irritated scowl. She stood there, impatiently tapping her heeled foot against the floor as she watched Rafe close and lock the door behind them.
ā€œAre you ready to talk now or do you want to act like a child for the rest of the night?ā€ She inquired, abhorrence and annoyance lilts heavily in her voice, causing Rafe to rub a hand over his stubbed jaw.
He knows heā€™s the reason for her anger, specifically because of the way he acted tonight. His jealousy and petulant behavior towards one of Sofiaā€™s coworkers and Rafeā€™s presumption that heā€™d been unabashedly flirting with her all night resulted into Rafe roughhousing him and causing a fracas in the middle of her law firmā€™s holiday party.
The entire scene caught the attention of the other attendees at the party and resulted into him being escorted out of the premises, leaving Sofia alone and embarrassed for the remainder of the night. Rafe too had been chagrined because of his actions and his unwarranted act of impulse that he had venomously unfurled onto her coworker.
It wasnā€™t smart and he knows that she would have to deal with the repercussions of the fallout Monday morning when she returns to work. He never had any intentions of acting out in the way that he did; but he allowed his emotions overpower him and it inevitably resulted into him doing something completely idiotic.
Sighing deeply in exasperation and massaging his temples that were throbbing excruciatingly in pain, Rafe shrugged his shoulder.
At his noncommittal response, Sofia scoffs wryly and shakes her head in disbelief, throwing her hands up warily in the air. ā€œYouā€™re unbelievable. If I hadnā€™t pulled you off of him you probably wouldā€™ve beaten him to a pulp!ā€ She accosts in disbelief, still appalled and disappointed in her fiancĆ©'s behavior tonight.
Sheā€™s never seen him act so irate and violent like that before. She doesnā€™t know the source of where this all derived from, but what she does know is that she never wanted to see him act that way ever again.
Rafeā€™s jaw clenched incensedly in recoil. He ignored her chastising and berating words of anger as he walked into the kitchen, heading directly for the freezer. His hands clenched and unclenched in a fist as he flexed his fingers, trying to soften them out. He grabbed a handful of ice cubes and placed them against his knuckles, attempting to soothe them.
They were still throbbing in pain and were now a slight dark mauve color from where his hand roughly connected against the guyā€™s jaw.
He still sees the look of horror on Sofiaā€™s face and hears her mortified gasp of ā€œRafe!ā€ every time he closed his eyes.
ā€œYou embarrassed me, tonight. Donā€™t you see that?ā€ She catechizes, her tone softening a bit as she stares at him with solemnity in her eyes. And that only further increases the immense guilt that he was already feeling.
ā€œI know, Sof.ā€ He sighs softly in defeat. ā€œI didnā€™t mean toā€”ā€
Sofia cuts him off mid-sentence with a shake of her head. ā€œNo, you did mean to because you were acting sour all night.ā€ She rebuttals in haste, recalling back on his behavior through the night that consisted of him making sly comments and blatantly displaying his disliking of Chase.
She had immediately caught onto his impertinent behavior and attitude and pulled him aside, forewarning him in caution to cease it all together as this was an important night for her.
He tried so hard to prevail through the traitorous thoughts of jealousy that were tormenting him. But every time he looked up, there Chase was practically conjoined at Sofiaā€™s hip or standing too close to her and she was too oblivious or too indulged into a conversation to even notice.
It didnā€™t help that she had been wearing a beautiful all black gown that perfectly cupped and complimented her curvaceous figure. Her beauty was godlike, catching everyoneā€™s attention the moment she entered the room.
Rafe was typically secure with himself and his relationship with Sofia. Heā€™s gotten jealous on occasions but itā€™s never resulted into something like this before. He knows that it wasnā€™t fair for him to unfurl his anger over his conflicted feelings on someone else, but at that time in point he didnā€™t care.
He honestly did try to the best of his ability to refrain from overreacting, but all logical thoughts left him the moment he saw Sofia and Chase standing in the corner of the room giggling and conversing lowly amongst themselves. He acted on impulse and rage as he approached them, spewing vulgar obscenities and accusations at Chase, much to Sofiaā€™s chagrin.
ā€œOh, so you did notice me tonight.ā€ He mutters sarcastically under his breath, tossing the now, halfway melted ice cubes into the sink before walking out of the kitchen and ascending up the staircase towards the direction of their bedroom.
The abrupt comment causes Sofia to furrow a confused look. ā€œAnd what the hell is that supposed to mean?!ā€ She asked, trailing behind him in tow as she follows him into their bedroom. She folded her arms beneath her chest as she narrowed her eyes at him. She didnā€™t appreciate what he was insinuating at all.
Rafe chuckled humorlessly as he began to undress himself; loosening the knot in his tie. ā€œNothing, just forget it.ā€ He attempted to dismiss, but Sofia persisted against it.
ā€œNo, tell me what you meant by that. Because if itā€™s what I think youā€™re trying to say then we have an issue here thatā€™s deeper than all of this. You know how I feel about you.ā€ She ripostes, taking a step closer to where he was currently standing. She looks into his eyes, her gaze unwavering. ā€œSo, for you to even suggest that tells me that you donā€™t trust me like I thought you did.ā€
Rafe turns away from the mirror and looks at her; his countenance marring something akin to hurt and despondency. ā€œWell what the fuck am I supposed to think then, Sofia? These past few weeks youā€™ve barely been home, whenever you do come home itā€™s late at night-ā€
ā€œDonā€™t do that. Iā€™m a lawyer, Rafe! Of course Iā€™m gonna have hectic work hours.ā€ Sofia rebuttals in defense, her anger accruing minutely. Sofia was bewildered at how completely unreasonable and unfair he was acting right now.
ā€œSometimes, I have to stay late at the office whenever thereā€™s a big case you know that! And you what? I worked my ass off to get that promotion, itā€™s not fair that youā€™re throwing it in my face like youā€™re trying to punish me for finally getting the job of my dreams,ā€ Wetness burns the back of her eyes, blurring her vision.
Rafe nodded as he pursed his lips in a worn moue; his expression seemed forlornā€”just as Sofiaā€™s heart felt like. ā€œYou know what? If thatā€™s what you think Iā€™m doing and that thatā€™s what tonight was all about then I donā€™t think thereā€™s anything else that we need to talk about, Sofia.ā€ He concedes wearily in defeat; informing her that he would be sleeping over at Barryā€™s tonight. He turns away from her, snagging his car keys off of the dresser before retreating out into the hallway down the stairs to the front door.
ā€¦
He feels like shit.
Arguing with Sofia left his heart aching in remorse. He didnā€™t intent on confronting her so abrasively like he did; but he couldnā€™t contain the feelings that had been festering inside of him for weeks. Rafe wasnā€™t necessarily jealous of Chase, he was justenvious of the time that Chase got to spend with Sofia that he has been deprived of recently.
He knows that there needs to be a conversation about everything regarding his feelings of jealousy and neglect, but he decides to save that talk for later when he knows heā€™ll actually be rational enough to do once his angerā€™s subsided.
He waits in the driveway, ruminating and contemplating on if he should go back inside. He only sits there for a brief moment before he turns the car on and pulls the car out of the driveway, making his way downtown past Barryā€™s house and towards the bar.
ā€¦
The loud music that plays through the speakers ricochet; reverberating in an echo against his eardrums. He sits alone at the bar, chugging down his fifth shot of the night.
His clouded pupils gander over the rim of his glass that he brings up to his parted lips, allowing the bitter liquid to chisel him into a haze. Rafe leers around the populous room, glancing at the inebriated club goers as they were either dancing provocatively against each other or engaging in jovial conversations.
He knows that heā€™s consuming way more alcohol than is needed and that he will have to deal with the unfortunate consequential effects of his drunken stupor afterwards. But, he momentarily disregards that caring, along with everything else as he picked up the glass and easily chugged the liquid down his throat with a recoiling wince. Wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, Rafe gestures a hand airily waving the bartender down.
The brunette; who was occupied wiping down the counter and cleaning up the remnants of trash that was loitered around, glanced up at him after realizing that he was vying for her attention. Sighing softly, she wipes her hands onto the fabric of the black loose fitted apron that was tied around her waist before making her way over to him.
ā€œYes?ā€ She asks rhetorically, already well aware that he desired another shot of tequila. Though he wasnā€™t as drunk as some of the other attendees she could see that he was steadily approaching that precipice.
(He looked a mess; completely disheveled and unkempt. From the sullen looked that lingered in his eyes she could tell that he had a bad day and was trying to numb his pain by drowning it in alcohol.)
ā€œI wan-ā€˜nother one,ā€ He mutters, the words messily slur together barely coming out as coherent.
Retrieving the shot glass from him, she moves it towards the mixing station out of his reach. ā€œDo you have someone that can come pick you up?ā€
Rafe blinked at her, his face furrowed. ā€œJust pour me ā€˜nother drink,ā€ He reproaches dismissively at her concerned tone. He didnā€™t need or want any conversationsā€”he just wanted to drink. The bartender rolls her eyes, completely nonplussed by his sudden hostility.
ā€œWell, youā€™re not getting another one because youā€™re drunk. Too drunk to be making smart decisions right now,ā€ She attested and Rafe has to resist the urge of scoffing at her proclamation.
ā€œThatā€™s the point. I donā€™t want to think. Iā€™ve had a really shitty night, alright? I just want to forget. So pour me another shot.ā€ It was easier said than done when his every thought revolved around Sofia.
(He knows that he canā€™t truly forget what happened but he can distract himself until heā€™s numb even if itā€™s just temporary.)
The bartender folds her arms beneath her chest as she heeds at him, staring in contemplation. ā€œOkay,ā€ She nods, pushing herself off of the counter. ā€œBut Iā€™ll only do it if you give me your phone so I can call someone to pick you up after this.ā€ She bargains, to which Rafe now audibly scoffed.
Too drunk and too annoyed to rebuttal further he concedes, reaching into his pocket to receive his phone. ā€œFine. Here!ā€ The bartender smiles in triumph at her coaxing. She retrieves the phone from him after he unlocks it then turns around to fix him another drink.
As she scrolls through his call log, searching for an emergency contact itā€™s interrupted by a flashing notification. At the top of his screen she sees an incoming message. ā€œSomeone named Sarah texted you, how about I tell her to come get you?ā€
ā€œSarah?ā€ Rafe dismays with a shuddering frown, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand before petulantly pushing the glass aside. ā€œGod, no.ā€ He loved his sister dearly, but he undoubtedly knows that if she were to find out about his and Sofiaā€™s argument, that she too would berate him for his behavior and frankly, Rafe wasnā€™t in the mood for his little sisterā€™s nagging.
ā€œToo late. I sent her the location. Sit tight until she comes.ā€ The bartender says, with a shrug before extending his phone back to him. She bid Rafe a goodbye before trotting off to the other side of the bar to attend to other customers.
Great. Rafe reveries, warily running a hand over his face. He had come here tonight to seek a temporary resolve from his relationship issues, but the bartenderā€™s conniving insistence had altered that planā€”abruptly cutting his night of drinking and sulking short.
Miraculously, Rafe managed to stagger his way towards the bathroom.
He cleaned his sweat soddened face, splashing water onto it hoping that it would help him look not so disheveled. He dried his face clean with a paper towel then made his egress from the bathroom. Walking back to his perched seat at the bar counter, he halts his movement mid-gait when he sees Sarah looking around the room. Her search for him is brief because when she turns around and spots him, she gives him an indiscernible expression before approaching him.
ā€œDonā€™t, alright?ā€ Rafe murmurs, snatching his suit jacket off of the empty stool before reaching inside of his pockets to retrieve three wadded up $20 bills that he sits underneath his empty glass.
Sarah gives him a stern look, undaunted by his dismissive tone. ā€œOh, thereā€™s going to be a conversation about all of this, youā€™re not getting out of it no matter what you say,ā€
He rolls his eyes, shrugging his arms through the sleeves of his jacket as he follows her out of the barā€™s front door and outside to where her carā€™s parked.
ā€¦
ā€œSo, instead of talking to her about your feelings you decided to lash out on her coworker and punch him?ā€ Sarah congresses in disbelief, tucking her legs beneath her body as she accompanied him on the couch.
ā€œWhy do you sound surprised? It sounds exactly like something heā€™d do,ā€ John B, whoā€™d eavesdropped on their conversation from the kitchen, asked, holding his hands up in defense when both Cameron siblings give him a pointed look. ā€œIā€™m going to go give Valerie a bath,ā€ He says, announcing his departure so they could finish their conversation.
Sarah sighs as she turns towards Rafe who sat there on the couch still sulking in his self deprecating misery. ā€œI know, alright? I know that I shouldā€™ve talked to her. But itā€™s been hard to do that recently when sheā€™s hardly ever home. And itā€™s not like Iā€™m not proud of her, because I am, I just miss her.ā€ He laments, feeling the heaviness of his heart swell.
ā€œSo go tell her that.ā€ Sarah insisted, prompting him towards reconciliation.
He knows that sheā€™s right.
Of course sheā€™s right; Sarah had always been the voice of reason between the two of them. But with the things he said to Sofia tonight, he was worried that she didnā€™t want to see him again.
ā€œWhat if she doesnā€™t want to see me?ā€
ā€œShe texted me after Barry told her that you werenā€™t at his place. Believe me, she wants to see you just as much as you want to see her. Come on, Iā€™ll drive you home.ā€
ā€¦
Regardless of their argument, he knows that he shouldnā€™t have walked off in the way that he did. Thatā€™s not how they communicated and he didnā€™t want her to feel as if he was disregarding her feelings simply because he was hurt. Walking back into the house, he makes his way back up the staircase to their bedroom.
His remorse thickens when he sees her perched at the end of the bed with her hands buried in her hand. Stepping over the threshold, he saunters further into the room as he approaches her.
ā€œThought you were supposed to be sleeping at Barryā€™s,ā€ Her voice is hoarse, like sheā€™d been crying, and gauging from the way sheā€™s avoiding his gaze, he could tell that his suspicions were confirmed.
Rafe exhaled a heavy sigh of exasperation as he leaned against the wall athwart from her. His hands slacked in the front of his pockets as his head lowered and his shoulder sagged solemnly. ā€œI, uh went to the bar instead to clear my head. Sof, Iā€”ā€ He paused momentarily, almost as if he was apprehensive about revealing the truth of his feelings.
He eventually continues after a brief moment of contemplation because this conversation needed to happen. They couldnā€™t allow this unresolved tension to fester; his relationship with her meant too much for him to allow anything to interfere with it.
ā€œThings are different between us, Sof. I mean you have to have noticed it too. Weā€™re not connecting like we used to, you started being more distant, working late and I know that itā€™s only because of your new promotion at the firm and believe me, Iā€™m so fucking proud of you but...ā€
His eyes finally look up to meet her gaze again. Her heart nearly plummets at the sight of his heartbroken expression. ā€œI feel like youā€™re pulling away from me. Iā€™m losing you. And youā€™re too busy to notice it. I feel like youā€™re moving forward and starting this new chapter in your life while Iā€™m still stuck at the beginning trying to find where I fit in. I trust and love you with everything in me, Sofia, I do, but I canā€™t help but to feel jealous seeing the guy youā€™ve been spending most of your nights with, touch all over you and have you in the ways that Iā€™ve been wanting to have you for these past few weeks,ā€
Rafe shrugs a shoulder half-heartedly as he shook his head. ā€œI know I shouldnā€™t have done what I did tonight. I shouldā€™ve talked to you about how Iā€™ve been feeling and Iā€™m sorry for embarrassing you.ā€ He lamented in regret and guilt.
Sofia sat there in silence as she quietly ruminated over everything that heā€™d just loquaciously confessed to her. She was unaware about Rafeā€™s insecurities of losing her and their relationship coming to an endā€”or that her hectic and inconsistent work schedule had played a contributing factor in this whole ordeal.
It was true: she has been working messy hours recently and hasnā€™t been as affectionate with him as she previously was. But that was only because sheā€™s been tired from work not because her feelings for Rafe had changed. She was still adjusting to her new promotion and has been getting a plethora of new cases recently which has unfortunately caused her to miss out on a few dinners and had her coming home at later hours than usual. She never wouldā€™ve guessed that her new promotion would be a direct cause of her current relationship issues.
ā€œI wish you wouldā€™ve come to me about this. You know that I love you more than anything. Chase is a friend and coworker thatā€™s it. Iā€™ve never looked at him in any other way and I donā€™t want to. Baby, Iā€™m not going anywhere and youā€™re not losing me to anyone or anything. Iā€™m here with you. You have to know that.ā€
Rafe nods somberly as he bites down on his bottom lip. ā€œI know. I was just scared. Youā€™re the single most important person in my life. I donā€™t know what Iā€™d do if I ever lost you.ā€
Sofia clambers to her feet to approach him. His eyelashes flutter softly when she reaches up and cradles his face within her hands. She looks up into his eyes, directly, their gazes never wavering from one anotherā€™s.
ā€œYou wonā€™t. Iā€™m here. Iā€™m right here.ā€
ā€¦
Thereā€™s so much that they still need to discuss, residual issues that were still unsettled and lingered between them that they needed to talk about but those issues are momentarily brushed aside along with everything else.
Everything except for the way Rafeā€™s eyes stared at hers with a smoldering warmth that made her feel overwhelmed with enamor.
Their breathing slows, transitioning into soft pants. She feels an avid shiver run down her spine, body aching in a wanton desire, goosebumps prickle her skin when she sees his lidded eyes hastily flicker down to her lips then slowly lift up to meet her gaze again.
Itā€™s been weeks since sheā€™s had the feeling of his body against his, or had the pleasure of feeling him nestled deeply inside of her.
ā€œSofia,ā€ He whispered, his raspy, deep-baritone voice trembled a bit as her name fell off his lips in a litany.
She responds instantaneously, her body reflectively answers to his beckon as her face begins to move towards his. He meets her halfway, his large hand reaches up to cradle the side of her face as he tilts her face towards his.
His tongue traces along the outline of her bottom lip, begging for entrance. She quickly compiles as she widens her mouth open, allowing him to receive better access of her lips. His lungs burned in desperation, pleadingly wanting him to part for air but Sofiaā€™s lips felt too good and perfect against his to retract. ā€œI love you.ā€ He says, the words easily falling off of his lips, his gaze looming a soft warmth as his eyes met hers.
ā€œI love you, too.ā€ She whispers softly, the weight of her words embedding the same heartfelt sincerity as his.
They kissed again, softly, tenderly as they begin to maneuver backwards towards the bed. Sofia scoots closer to him, their knees brushing lightly in her movement. She moved her hand that rested on his leg upward, raffishly moving it closer to his upper thigh.
Her small hand proceeded toward its salacious path until it reached its desired destination. She could feel the rigid outline of his hardened erection, curling stoutly against his thigh. He swallows thickly, inhaling a soft breath when she eased the zipper of his pants down.
Sofia pulled the zipper further down, still heeding tentatively at his reaction. He groans lowly, body avidly shuddering in a desperate need as she shimmies the slacks over his hips. He lifts his hips slightly off of the bed to assist her, pulling the pants down until they pooled around his ankles, absentmindedly kicking them aside afterwards.
Their hands worked in a tandem, undoing the buttons of his white long-sleeved dress shirt, popping each of the buttons open until she could see the sight of his fawn toned chest beneath the pallid fabric. He shrugged out of the shirt as it loosened around his arms and shoulders, tossing it somewhere along in the forgotten mix of his pants.
She bit at her lower lip as she appreciatively roved her eyes over his body; the taut muscles on his chest glistened under the warm hues of the moonlight that poured throughout the room, his physique was lean, not too strawny, not too bulk. His boxers snugged loosely around his hips, revealing the slight dip between the juncture of his lower abdomen and the beginning of his pelvic bone, where the wisps of his pubic hairs peeked over the elastic band.
His cheeks were colored with a pretty pink blush under the gauze of her smothering scrutiny. He looked deliciously irresistible.
Rafe gently pushed her shoulders so that she was falling backwards onto the plush mattress. He sat on his knees at the edge of the bed as he grabbed ahold of her ankle, smirking sheepishly at her as he unhooked the latch on the back of her heel in his feat of undressing her.
His hand glides up her bare thigh, hiking up the fabric of her dress so that itā€™s now pooling around her waist. The thin, laced material of her thong comes into his view as he parts her legs open. Her breath hitches and body shivers when he teased a finger against her clothed covered clit.
ā€œRafe,ā€ She keened breathlessly, using that forewarning tone that he knew all too well.
He grunted, his deft fingers moving in a hurried haste as he began to rid tug the flimsy thong that covered her ass, over her curvaceous hips and down her legs. Sofia assists him, allowing the ruined pair of underwear to fall to the floor with a soft thud.
She pulled the dress over her head, that too absentmindedly found its way on some surface of their bedroom, leaving her splayed out before him. Her body resembled a goddess as she laid there completely nude beneath him.
His ogling of appreciation of her body was interrupted by Sofia grabbing ahold of his shoulders and pulling him down for another kiss. She keens into his mouth, breath hitches a bit when she feels his swollen girth prodding through his boxers and pressing against her center. Her body twitches at the delicious contact. ā€œRafe.ā€
He moves his lips insistently along hers, kissing her with an insatiable vigor, sucking on her wet tongue, tugging at the plushness of her bottom lip. Sofiaā€™s mind feels dizzy, her body ached for his touch. Her nipples go taut, he could feel the swollen nubs pressing against his flattened chest. His hand ghosts over her tender breast, squeezing and fondling the sensitive flesh as a cacophony of her moans rings through his ears.
ā€œNeed you, now.ā€ She huffs, impatiently.
(And he feels it too, the same insatiable desire thatā€™s reflected in the way sheā€™s currently looking at him.)
His cock twitches against his thigh at Sofiaā€™s pleads. Propping the weight of his body onto his elbow, he lifted off of her so that he was able to tug his boxers off. Flicking them aside elsewhere, he shifted his body again, upholding his weight on his elbow so that he was now hovering over her.
He slides a hand underneath her ass, lifting her hips up so that heā€™s angled just at her center. A breath catches in Sofiaā€™s throat at the intrusion of him slowly penetrating her. Itā€™s pleasure that licks up her spine when she finally feels him inside of her ā€” thick and stretching her fully enough to have her eyes stinging with tears again.
ā€¦
Theyā€™re sprawled out naked across their bed post orgasm. Rafe eases his flaccid cock out of Sofia before plopping down next to her. His arm rested behind his head as he turned to look over at her.
ā€œI know that I apologized already, but I really am sorry. And Iā€™ll uh, apologize to Chase for what I did.ā€
His comments causes her to look over at him. She nods her head, somberly, giving him a small smile. ā€œI know. I am too.ā€ She scoots her body closer to his, tucking her head on his forearm as her arm rest over his torso. ā€œAnd I know that my scheduleā€™s kinda crazy, but just know youā€™ll always be the most important person in my life no matter what.ā€
He brings her hand up to his mouth so that heā€™s able to brush a chaste kiss against her knuckles. He caressed his thumb over the stunt of the diamond on her engagement ring. She smiles as she watches his idle movements, ā€œI canā€™t wait to be your wife,ā€
His smile broadens as he craned his head down, meeting her halfway in another kiss. ā€œSofia Valdez-Cameron,ā€ He murmurs, nodding his head. ā€œItā€™s got a nice ring to it,ā€
ā€œMhm. So does Rafe Valdez,ā€ She teases, feeling his breath coolly brush against her face as he huffs a small laugh. He retracts from the embrace, his eyes soften in adoration as he pushes a few strands of hair out of her face.
ā€œIā€™ll be whoever you want me to be just as long as I get to marry you,ā€ He avows, making her heart swoon and her love for him grow more profoundly.

Okay to anyone who cares because this show has destroyed me hehehe
Anywho, spoilers for Arcane Season 2 Act 3ā€¦
Or just Season 2 in general.
what the fuck.
Okay. Okay. I love the lesbians. But the CaitVi sex scene seemed kindaā€¦ off? Like the making out and shit was good (ahahaha Iā€™m so bisexual it hurts) but likeā€¦ Vi just got abandoned by her sister. Her sister that sheā€™s had a VERY troubled relationship with, one she just got back and almost died protecting. Now sheā€™s out and about and has implied that sheā€™s going to do something drastic. And Cait just walks in there all sexy and sheā€™s like ā€œdid you think we needed that many guards on the bridge teehee wink winkā€ and they just start fucking? Like Iā€™m all for it, but it just feels veryā€¦ off. I wouldā€™ve liked it better if they had angry sex in the scene where Vi founds out Jinx was arrested. Idk. Felt off to me.
And and andā€¦ Jinxā€™s ā€œsacrifice?ā€ Iā€™m saying that lightly because people have pointed out very good reasons to why she might still be alive and she just left which opens up a whole other can of worms but thatā€™s beside the point! Anyway, likeā€¦ it felt so pointless! Sheā€™s fought and survived and dealt with so much loss and grief and I understand that Silco told her to walk away and break the cycle butā€¦ thatā€™s Silco. The man who never forgave Vander (maybe he did in the ā€œis there anything so undoing as a daughterā€ scene but ya know) and paid the fucking price? Why couldnā€™t Jinx break the cycle of hatred and learn to coexist with her sister? To deal with her mistakes head on? To help put that explosive power to good use? It just doesnā€™t make sense in my brain. I hated it tbh. It felt like such an intentional (shallow) emotional grab to ā€œkillā€ one of the most beloved characters in the series. Maybe itā€™s just me, but I hated it.
Mel is cool tho. She is such a woman. A fucking powerhouse and it felt so good to watch her use her golden powers.
So is Ekko. I love him. Heā€™s done so much. I love the consensus that they had to throw Ekko into the wild rune thingy otherwise heā€™d be too productive and save everyone before anything ever happened. Thatā€™s so him.
Poor Jayce. He went THROUGH IT. And Viktorā€™s design? The way his mask literally splits his face? And the gay power and ultimate sacrifice they did at the end? YES. So fucking good. Viktorā€™s scenes have been STUNNING this season and Iā€™ve been eating it up like stuffing and gravy on Thanksgiving.
Arcane is certainly a one-of-a-kind show. Iā€™ve never felt so emotionally invested before. Iā€™ve never cried and then danced around my room with joy in such a small amount of time before. Fortiche (I think Iā€™m spelling that right) had the weight of the universe on their shoulders, and boy did they deliver, but there are a few hang-ups. That doesnā€™t mean I didnā€™t enjoy the show or I want my time back. Absolutely not. I loved the ride and Iā€™ll definitely be thinking about Arcane for a long time. What a show.

I know how some people who follow me feel about Tommy and Buck/Tommy, but certainly not everyone.
To keep it simple, yes I want Buddie endgame. I always have, though I've known it's never been a guarantee. Character wise and narrative wise, Buddie makes the most sense and will be the most satisfying of outcomes. Anything less will be a disappointment.
For now, I am enjoying Buck/Tommy while it lasts. Tommy is a good guy, and I think he's good for Buck, even if he's not here for long. And even though it's early game, no I don't suddenly think they should be endgame. They shouldn't. As I said, anything less than Buddie endgame would be a disappointment, and frankly a disservice to Eddie and Buck as characters. They're perfect for each other, no question.
(I really doubt anyone has actually "jumped" the Buddie ship. People, like me, are just enjoying Buck have a good queer time with a good queer man while we have it.)

couldnt fall asleep for at least 2 full hours bc i kept thinking about it, so ... more (i hope this is the last time)
what was the point of adding isha? no i mean it! i started to like her in act 2 bc i liked mute characters and her with vanderwick where pretty cute.. those episodes are still my favorite, but shes so?? she gets dropped into jinxs lap quite literally (WHY where cross's goons (the chembaron) even chasing her?? i thought thered be some reveal or soemthign or backstory idk but no she just came out of nowhere and got chased for no reason other than to end up falling on jinx and seeing her shoot the goons) and then is given some cutesy time with em only to die horribly for literally nothing except make jinx .... suicidal ... which SHE ALREADY WAS, the entire vi and jinx fight scene at the start of the season is about her wanting vi to kill her- using isha like that is such a waste and so cheap, it served no purpose other than to give jinx and the viewer i guess the hope that things could be better even after everything only to rip it all away again and make it all even worse, but it already was so bad that it falls incredibly flat, and aside from jinx being worse than ever mentally no one seems to really mind? (ALSO feels slimy bc she was mute, mute kid chaarcter only gets used as a cheap way to make mentally unwell character even more mentally unwell)
magma vanderwick ... how ... what was that then? i thought it was either singed who was left alone in the greenhouse with vanderwick using that serum on him that supposedly .. does something to prevent viktor from bringing vanders mind fully back (no other information on that?) or it was viktor 'dying' that made all other cult people flop over and get taken/into stasis, and bc vanderwick was such a strange creature it took vander or part of him but not the beast- but then in act 3 ..... singed uses that serum THERE, so it wasnt him doing anything and him standing ominously in the broken greenhouse was jsut to .. show singed was still alive bc that fucker cant ever die- AND when stupid viktor turns people into fugly robots (im pretty sure, unless im mixing up what mind erased him) you see his memories being burned, so hollowed out .. which means that he was still himself? so it wasnt that viktors 'death' erased vander and left the beast bc it was still both at that point .... what the fuck was up with him then at the end of act2??? why did he go all volcano??
AND then at the end with the weird vi getting emotional over fugly robo vanderwick scene the beast i guess is STILL there .. but when you get turned like that you just turn into a robot and your mind ceases to exist, he already had vander erased, but then gets taken and turned robo so the beast should be gone too?? no`??? even if i remember it wrong and it was viktor who mind erased just vander- again problem as before, why did he go volcano then?? AND why did he slump over dead eyed after it? shouldnt the beast take over immediately when vanders gone??
....did jinx even interact at all with sevika after the scene in stillwater?? i dont think so, what a joke honestly, sevika was pretty much part of the team, then she gets isha out and then next time its jinx isha and vi going to search for vanderwick, the fuck has she been doing until the last episode where she doesnt say or really do a single thing???
im sorry lesbians but that sex scene was rather missplaced, not agaisnt it in general but the timing?? (any sex scene there at that time would be missplaced imo) jinx pretty clearly told vi that she will kill herself "you wont have to worry about me anymore" "im breaking the cycle" HELLO??? and while we dont know how long it took for cait to find vi down there (whereever that prison even is? not stillwater thats for sure) shouldnt vi burst out the prison and go chase after jinx the second she was freed???? i get she says soemthign like losing hope of getting through to her BUT JINX IS GOING TO KILL HERSELF?????????? and then cait and vi make out and fuck in the LITERAL SAME CELL THAT JINX WAS JSUT IN?????????? and even after that doesnt go to check on her?? you CANNOT tell me vi just gave up on her and accepted she killed herself like that
ALSO did no one know what signed was doing with vanderwick (who was still alive .. so isha kinda died uselessly, if he died then as well at least it would mess up the plan .. the stupid plan, i hate viktor cocoon hivemind shit)? they had to get vi out of there so ?? and vi also didnt like .. check if idk vanderwick was really fully dead or just go there again? even if it was secured or soemthign i dont remember her askign anything about him just jinx ... bc there she still cared at least a little bit about her i guess
jayce ... why did act2 make him out to be all mad and like he was given a mission by ekko and heimer (bc he says "i wont fail them" THEM) but then its revealed it was old future viktor who send him back/gave him the mission- ALSO why was he so extreme and mad in act2 when .. yes in act 3 you see him go through that torture in the cavern but when he climbs up hes relatively calm and collected and ignores the weird crawly monsters and has a somewhat normal conversation with old viktor .. and then he returns and is suddendly all mad and going after present viktor- WHICH ONLY MAKES IT SO IT ENDS UP LIKE THE STUPID TIMELOOP??? did i miss something or does that makes no sense?? the only reason it not ending up like that being ekkos intervention- but jayce before that seems to just .. do all that like he wants it to end like in the loop .. i thought he was trying to stop it .. what was the point?
did no one question where the heck salo went? even if he fell from grace .. it feels weird to put him to viktor, make it clear on him how viktor isnt just healing people but taking their minds bc that wasnt salo anymore and no one seems to care?
kinda similar with mel bc her being taken only really matters to ambessa (and when they reunite i expected ambessa to break tbh ...) and one comment from salo and anyone else? who cares? wasnt she in charge? i mean yeah cait took over in a sense but it still feels weird; plus on the whole mel business .. she went from big important power figure of the enterity of piltover to uh .. mage lady in black body suit so quickly? political power figure to weeee blasting vaguely gold magic stuff all over yippiiiie (but in general all political stuff just went out the window with those last episodes)
i said before how i didnt like the whole getting put into other dimension bs with ekko even if the setting was somewhat neat, but similar how weird jayces end speech to viktor felt idk .. ekko having to see, interact and .. make out with a jinx/powder that was 'normal' to see that jinx in his time still had value felt slimy to me also he conveniently gets put right there when jinx is about to kill herself (bc neither sevika nor VI went after her??or did he find her? when did he show up again? idk tbh?) and then uses the z-drive just to try and say the right thing to not make her do it and at the end to through it in viktors face ....................... and jinx showing up at the end barely changes anythign except give her another outfit/look and put her up there in order to do her 'sacrifice' .............idk it all felt so cheap
also maddie evil reveal was so .... was that really needed, like that especially? just so ambessa can tell caitlyn 'told you lol' ?
caitlyn knowing that jinx isnt gone and keeping it a secret is played as if thats a cool thing bc jinx isnt dead yippiiee but to me it makes it even worse (aside from the whole 'our story isnt over' bleurgh ouch eughgnen line of teasing more bc big corpo likes to leaves things open in case they make more expensives shows to serve nothing but the world most overblown champion and skin trailers and in case they dont well who cares) bc its just so ... slimy, am i supposed to see it as a happy end or win for vi bc she gets to be with caitlyn?? bc that is more important than her SISTER THE RELATIONSHIP TO WHICH THE ENTIRE SHOW WAS BUILT AROUND?????? adding the trope i hate 'group of people splitting up at the end bc thats clearly the best for them' FUCK THAT! Vi should have joined jinx and sevika (add isha and non robo vanderwick best case scenario, also ekko and they all get cool jinx outfits and everything, let jinx be a hero instead of a lil crazy footnote in viktors god complex) and get caitlyn on her side to fight piltover to free zaun (maybe with ambessa taking over piltover, mel returning and joining the forces of zaun forcing her to fight her even though it breaks ambessa bc she cares too much about mel or soemthing and jayce and viktor can battle it out gay boi style somewhere else or later interupting the main revolution fight idk im jsut yelling but this whole viktor god thing and robo war and whatever really went so off the rails and out of propoertion i hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh also vanderwick should get to kill singed)
..........and the line of Vi calling herself the dirt under caitlyns fingernails? ... what a line to end this stupid episode with, what a line, a zaunite calling herself dirt under her noble piltover lovers fingernails
(so ... in the end ... what was 'the arcane'? its not the void? its not jsut magic? its something fucked they created when trying to create magic but ... what was it? what where those creepy crawling things? why does it work like that? taking peoples minds? healing their bodies with metal parts but also hiveminding them? what was the hexcore in the end? what the hell was all that? where did the crystals even come from? skarners lore got erased so not there? did i just forget that? and also mages exist but also seem like a very unknown thing in the show? and then mel just is that? and the black rose? like??? what was the point??? it all just feels so pointless? what was this all for? a cheeasy happy ending where they fuck with time more to fix it all would have been satisfying to me than this ... this nothing)
okay i do have to do a mini (i call it mini now.. this is just letting my feelings about it out, so its spelled agressively bc im just so .. frustrated ... also not hate to the studio or the people working on it .. obviously >_>) rant about arcane-
SPOILERS AHEAD FOR ARCANE SEASON 2
its the most beautiful show ever produced, i mean it, its style, fortiche's (the studio) style, is just .... impossibly pretty, 3d and 2d, the animation is just so GOOD, the designs largely (like 95%) are too, the acting and sound design, the voice acting (at least the english one) is so emotional and good, the show in general is just good ... until the last episode
i have my own problems with riot declaring arcane the new canon out of nowhere and for no good reason since it was, im very sure, never conceived to be that, its a reinterpreation and works best as such, now literally everything is once again completely messed up, no one knows whats real and what isnt, no champion or story is safe, especially with the weird hexcore bullshit potentially erasing the VOID (whish is like ... half on which the canon was built on tbh) AND hextech- multiple champions being impossible to exist now .... but thats not what i wanted to talk about
i was pretty on board with everything the show did, though i wasnt a big fan of the whole hexcore stuff, but it all spiraled so far out of control, it just kept making everything worse, also with bringing in the black rose and leblanc, it kept piling stuff onto the plate despite them already compressing everything so drastically; espeically regarding viktor, but i kept my hope up even after season 2s act 2 bc it still seemed 'fixable', though not easily so
what i liked about it (in its writing) despite its pacing issues was that it was rather .. self contained for the longest time, focused on the characters and the class struggle of piltover and zaun, and doing so rather well imo, like it did and said things i did not expect riot to let through
i was worried with the alternate universe stuff that came with the escalating hexcore bullshit but held onto hope even until episode 8 and then ...man .. the last episode ... the fuck was that- like i hate timetravel and multiverses and whatever but the thing with ekko was done rather neatly ... they made all those chaarcter models and sets just for that short stuff and really .. was of little use other than getting heimerdinger out of the picture as well lmao maybe he will get his own series to advertise for 200 dollar skins in league hahaaaa but i guess the main point was to give ekko the z-drive ... which feels alot like what i feared about them forcing it to comply with the characters in game ,,,, even though that wasnt for everyone like warwick was done SO dirty after giving me hope in act two
everythings focused on the hexcore/arcane shit, theres the black rose shit (honestly i think it was a mistake bringing them in too bc .. noxus is its entire own region with so many champs and story itself that got connected via ambessa .. which was a new character the show made up until they made her a champ now .. its just too much to put into this one show already going at a breakneck pace), mel doing her bit with them then bam she mage now which felt like a champion teaser more than an organic part of the story, especialyl with how hard it got pushed later (poor little riots gotta sell more game cosmetics uwu), jayce just taking over control again and everyone going with it, singed reviving stupid version victor via using vander/warwick WHO WAS STILL ALIVE AFTER ISHA BLEW HERSELF UP TO STOP HIM FROM KILLING EVERYONE (which was ALREADY pretty cheap, but i guess jinx had to be even more suicidal than she already was heehoo), dont even ask me HOW, viktor was just whoops from corpse to im a cocoon now, ambessa being so obsessed with it, the entire class struggle being """"solved"""" by piltover and zaun fighting stupid viktors weird ass robot shitheads together and then acting like giving sevika a seat at the council is the solution to it, half the cast just dying horribly for honestly no reason?? ORIANNA being now i guess some weird viktor robot but without the mindcontrol part and singed just kinda ... winning i guess by giving her cocoon some goo of stupid viktors cocoon
it just all ... turning from this so drama, character and class struggle thing into weird ass dimension hopping magical world war that all gets solved bc we fought together once uwu AND it being a fucking timeloop WITHIN what ONE episode? and that being the ENDING (i know i know the hexcore bs was building up throughout the show but it still felt so .. unearned and sudden ... )
also i got personal gripes with the 'ending' bc .. was it REALLY an ending like they kept saying?? was it?? viktor, jayce, heimerdinger, jinx are just disappeared i guess, mel going back to noxus- the fucking 'our story isnt over' tease???? the last minute appearance of swains fucking raven???? pecking at something blue and shining like idk a hex crystal??? SHUT UP i dont want more to come, this story should have had its self containing ending, not this open ended bullshit that just reeks of corporate meddling bc they want their game to connect to their popular show as much as possible now so we gotta bring in as many teases and connections to other champions YIPPIEEEEE (yelling)
also if jinx is dead, wow, what a way to end her story, the traumatized suicidal character being tortured and tortured especially after seemingly having something good for once (i liked act 2 except for its ending the most bc ... man jinx was so enjoyable there, i loved her dynamic with vi and isha and half wolf vander warwick with the beast and man struggle i love alot, that part was genuinely beautiful, i wasnt a fan of the idea of idk ekko doing time stuff and them having a happy ending bc i just dont like going back in time to fix everything kinda stuff, but i would have much much prefered that, not changing the existing story into the perfect world where everythings happy (though i liked that part ... vander silco being gay husbands like that is just so goood) but to fix what is fixable in the present- them still having gone through alot but being able to live with it, so act 2 setup was honestly my favorite way to not invalidate everything and still have something happy .... but no we gotta kill the kid to make jinx even worse and vander/warwick too while we are at it
if shes not dead (given you see a blimp(?) flying away and her scribbles showing up and caitlyn looking at the blueprints of the hexgates) then ... ??? oh yeah lets make her leave zaun and just idk go be the main character in noxus or soemthing for the next show they are gonna do bc jinx is popular so putting her everywhere is a good idea!!!1!!11
ALSO since vander/warwick is my favorite .. i thought maybe after isha doing that, if they dont reverse it, hed get taken by singed again or ran away and turned fully werewolf like he is in the game (though i would have liked if they were able to be a weird family like in act2)- but no he just gets used as fuel for stupid viktor cocoon and then mind erased and made into the ugliest weird robot thing that looks more like galio than him JUST and i feel like it really is JUST to have Vi at the end do the scene that gets jinx 'killed' .. to lead into the 'more to come' teaser.. idk about you but that scene felt so .. forced, the typical oh no platform is slowly falling down but Vi suddendly gets emotional about weird ugly robot warwick (who conveniently comes back to life as ugly robot beast since his human mind got erased but not the beast??? i guess???) and completely ignores jinx yelling at her to get to safety, it felt so WEIRD to me (if you gotta do him like that at least let Vi listen to jinx, them embracing and then watchign emotionally as robo vanderwick falls into the hexgate thing .. that was still active somehow i guess??)
(poor viktor got done so dirty too .. i liked him .. until it all went weird wit hthe hexcore stuff ....... ..... also jayce weird speech to him .. why the FUCK did you not do that back in the cult camp instead of blasting him to bits, i get it he was fucked up from seeing the future, but then later hes just ... okay???? pretty fine all things considered??? and pretty aware of everything?? also his weird speech being all like vitkor actually you were perfect in your imperfection BITCH HE WAS SLOWLY DYING AN AGONIZING DEATH???? idk ??? it all feels so weird to me, like there episodes literally missing- ambessa dying also felt so unnecessary .. just so mel can take her place and go to noxus and have more shows maybe- )
i just .... and just like how i cant enjoy botw anymore after them fucking it all up with totk ... i dont know if i will rewatch arcane knowing it ends like that, what was that for, the most beautiful show ever made just to do a game of thrones ending in a single episode?
im so tired of it all ..... im so tired of being disappointed and feeling let down over and over no matter with how little expectations i go in with
this willl be the only arcane rant unless theres some .. big stupid reveal that gets me more frustrated than i am now, which i hope there isnt .. im tired of being and feeling like this .. i just want to enjoy things, everythings going to shit IRL and i cant even find something enjoyable to watch

I just think Tallulah gets to be upset about this. ā€œItā€™s not Wilburā€™s faultā€ ā€œHeā€™s not a bad dadā€ ā€œHe loves his daughter so muchā€ yes! These are all true! And itā€™s not his fault! But heā€™s still not there. And Tallulah has gone through so much and still hasnā€™t seen him, the one time he was around was the one time she wasnā€™t, and all she has are letters and ā€œIā€™m thinking of you alwaysā€ and things that used to be theirs together, but heā€™s still not there. Sheā€™s waited and sheā€™s been patient and sheā€™s loved him all the same, and heā€™s still not there. Like yesterday, and the day before, and the day before, from the happy milestones to the traumatic events, heā€™s still not there.
She knows that itā€™s not his fault, but it doesnā€™t change the fact that heā€™s absent. That in and of itself just adds to the sorrow, because she knows why heā€™s gone, and sheā€™s been told time and time again it doesnā€™t mean he doesnā€™t care, she knows this - it doesnā€™t mean it doesnā€™t sting, that it doesnā€™t hurt, that she doesnā€™t yearn for her father to be there more than anything in the world, and heā€™s just not there.
So yes, she gets to be upset, and be caustic, and stomp her feet and write bitter messages, and be angry and vitriolic, because sheā€™s a little girl missing her father, who feels things with her whole heart and soul - and that means she gets to feel the ugly parts of it, too.
#itā€™s like no wilbur isnā€™t at fault. especially if weā€™re talking about cc wilbur. but fuck man of course sheā€™s gonna feel like this#this doesnā€™t make wilbur a bad person! heā€™s just a missing one. and Tallulah feels all the misery and bitterness as a daughter left behind#where is her father kissing her injuries and reassuring her? where is her father protecting her? hugging her at the end of the day?#Wil isnā€™t around to do this and she wants him back and heā€™s not going to be back. not for a while. and itā€™s not his fault but it doesnā€™t#stop it from being upsetting. sheā€™s a little girl#and at least she has phil. her dad. whoā€™s there time and time again. and it doesnā€™t make him somehow morally better or wtevr. heā€™s there an#Wil is not. and heā€™s going to continue to be there as a solid figure in tallulahs life that she needs#idk man like. fuck#lmao relating my own experiences from here below in the tags āœŒļø#as someone whoā€™s been in that position? a parent absent for reasons outside of control? yeah itā€™s sucks. and I love them and they love me#*with a parent I mean I wasnā€™t the parent lmao#and it will never be the same. and when they were gone and missing things I was furious at them#that resentment grows and then it fades and sometimes bitterness strikes again and itā€™s how it goes. love is still there#and itā€™s no oneā€™s fault. it just is. and what is is messy#anyways#mcyt#qsmp#q!tallulah#q!wilbur#z speaks

n*loth not being able to bag anyone over the (human term) age of 25-30 at most is the only logical and real conclusion to me because it can be just explained away as him wanting to prove and control everything and anyone (Cus he's a man!) but being stuck in that demographic because his unbearable and vile personality is a force that nobody can look past once they've outgrown the possible fear and idolization period of anyone but also n*loth in particular.
#text#i think even younger ones that possess the same nasty traits can be slammed back 'In their place' (in his mind) by him just bc his -#- abilities and power alone (alt. name the factors that make him 'Cool') that dumbs them down insanely in comparison#maybe by this i mean like; ild*ri. despite the animosity she could still feel very foolish and is conscious of her wuss-ness#if that makes sense#cause no matter the disrespect anyone might have for an older capable person the reality is still reality#tbh i just think he doesn't like to sweat it much and still aims for the younger ones bc it's easier than it would be for someone that's -#- 30+ years old#and once he's proven his point he doesn't find any merit in sticking with older ones cause their interests or anything they offer -#- don't matter to or interest Him personally#i think an older demographic is just more boring to him and he would rather spend his time being metaphorically sucked off for his greats -#- by someone that already finds themselves 'lesser' than him and always will for a long time#than someone that is defiant of that fact#basically the more power imbalance the better#in his mind there will always be one unless he certainly knows someone is his equal (or better than him) but he likes the add-on of an -#- age difference too#keeps it in a safe zone with less problems for him#sorry for spitting again my brain just started machine-gunning thoughts for no reason#also i said before that he's an innocence fan. might not be a total puritan but there's something there#it's kinda like him not wanting to be with a dusty ''OLD'' person that's seen a lot anyway#i'm like barely able to hold myself back from opening my mouth to mention t*lvas where i'm making a point about n*loth's brain where he -#- isn't even needed to prove it#but like#him voicing dislike of n*loth general nauseating character and actions but still sucking up to him while n*loth can probably feel -#- that dislike anyway is cute to me i like to view it as an object being thrown into the wall over and over#where n*loth is proving his own worth to other people by drilling their brains out with proof. not that he needs to#but he would like that to be perfected a 100%#and t*lvas is capable of being molded into that state ....... probably#silusvesuisuis you didnot just confess to wanting to see t*lvas be slammed into a wall you fucked up demented beast you're sick#actually can't believe i forgot to mention this but he's literally so immature idk what he has anything in common with actual mature people

He said "Fuck this shit, I'm out" I'm crying. Toriyama's Vegeta was so top shelf šŸ¤Œ
(From Neko Majin Z Chapter 5!)
#dbtag#Idk why Toei didn't lean into Vegeta being a version of Piccolo you could put in funnier situations like Toriyama wrote#He's reserved and professional and proud but JUST immature enough to bite down on a gag that Piccolo would readily swerve#But they take a lot of Goku's chaotic comedy away too in favor of Hero(tm) writing and that is why I keep pulling my hair out aklsjdlas#Toriyama was sO funny and it bums me out so much that the anime derailed how lighthearted and straight up silly the humor is#and replaced it with Misogyny Is Funny and humiliation kinks asjklfhadjk and it's not just my complaints about Vegeta and Bulma!!#ā€œGoku is running away from his very reasonable wife because he is a goofy little guy who doesn't want to do his choresā€ becomes#ā€œChichi is Cruel to Goku who is Trying to be a good husband because she doesn't relate to his passions and vilifies him for having them"#which is not their dynamic at all but dudes in the writing room are like ā€œbeing married is fucking awful amirite fellas hahahaā€#but Toriyama was like ā€œBeing married is not for everybody but it can be really great if you and your partner are on the same pageā€#Chichi's reasonable! And Goku isn't romantically wired but Goku can enthusiastically consent to sex and still not enjoy kissing#those things can be and are true for a lot of people! And it makes even more sense if you hc Goku to be aspec (and audhd coded) like I do#Kissing can feel gross and can be a sensory overload for many folks. Doesn't mean they're stupid or innocent.#(although Goku CAN still ride nimbus so idk what Pure entails in this universe askljad)#Like I am the FIRST person to joke and drag Goku about his marriage as an aspec myself but like legit Goten is a Last Night On Earth baby#He knows what sex is. But also between how socially removed Goku is and how Shy and Conservative Chichi it's not out of line#to assume the actual words sex and kiss have never been spoken in that house skljdlajdf I FULLY believe Chichi uses code words#Chichi thinks her son being blonde makes him a delinquent and still uses honorifics with Goku like it is fully reasonable to assume#that the joke of Goku's naivetĆØ centers around the fact that his wife is too embarrassed to talk about Certain Matters in a normal way#While Bulma and Vegeta are slutty hedonistic cityfolk who need jesus (according to chichi probably...and me but I support them)#anyway. point is. Toriyama was funny as hell and Nekomajin is absolutely ridiculous and goofy and has a fully amoral main character#which just reminded me that toei is allergic to letting goku be a gremlin and so vegeta's not allowed to be a gremlin wrangler#even though that's been his job since the day he met raditz alksdjaskljd

My thoughts? And throwing stuff in the dark, hoping it hits something
The Heart to Heart: I mean, as sweet as S2 EP4 was with them, I couldn't shake off the cynicism of it seeming staged to some degree...but I could just be paranoid from feeling thrown for a loop by his nonchalance. Circubit didn't seem the least bit surprised about being corrupted by Cyanide from the hug. And I don't see much of people-pleasing qualities from Circubit other than this scene here. I wouldn't call it people-pleasing really, only because he might have had a soft spot for her situation since it may have been relatable.
Just by a stretch in assumption here, other than relating to her, he might have had that "heart to heart" with her to very well be re-corrupted and to have a possible stronghold down the line, now that he undoubtedly knows Cyanide doesnt a have stable, caring caretaker.
His Duality Form Control and its possible advantages: Another reason I came to this is that...I sort of agree from braincell's previous lore-informed theory that he was also using his corruption as a form of a second shield/form of escapism (from identity flaws, his past as a pure shape, the flexibility of alignment, etc...).
As dark as it is to think about, causing a rift between Cyanide and Dub could be a strategic benefit for Circubit now and later on. From my perspective, he has taken a more machiavellian, neutral approach to fix what has been wrong in his eyes because it's the only route he has open. He has taken his own means to an end to achieve what he could want, and it's kinda too early to tell whether that's to be a hero himself, rally an entire rebellion against Dub, and/or getting another chance to counter his tarnished reputation from the Royal family, his ex-friend, and most of the Land of Spheres. Or something else entirely.
Yeah, we know he's not completely aligning with either the heores nor the corrupted side. He's taking his own rogue path, and we don't really know where that destination really lies.
No Benefit being Pure: If he does take any of those possiblites, I would like to think his re-corruption here made sense, though. Would you think his goals could be achievable with his pure form? I don't believe so nor would his pure self even have the support from the heroes, caretakers, groups, and obviously the corrupted. We are only really sure that he needs to be corrupted to achieve what he might be looking for, whatever that may be. From the looks of Circusic's talk with Iris, bro doesn't have the best reputation outside of his corrupted form nor was anyone looking for him outside of sheer unconditional concern, other than he's a threat or some traiter in other's eyes, especially Iris, unfortunately.
From the short, Circubit's Recurring Memory, the king had already expected Circusic to raid the castle, removing what he was looking for. But it's unclear whether Circusic was going to steal the item for himself, something else, or Circusic could have been, misunderstood, purposefully misled, or framed. Regardless, there's still distrust of his character.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Back to Cyanide's confusing adventure for self-identity: Cyanide is most likely...POSSIBLY...(just a guess) going to be rejected by both Dub and the heroes, causing her to come back to the one and only place she felt a "crumb" of acceptance/validation: Circubit.
"We might meet again."
Yeah, alright, Circubit. Would it be sooner or later? Like, he knows she's failing to cope with rejection (and other's perception of distrust towards her) since he's already skated down that hall himself.
Honestly, I would be very, VERY surprised the hero gang would be fully accepting of her suddenly wanting to NOT be evil after naively being associated with the corrupts.
Idk, man, Cyanide is a confusing character, but she just baby though
LOOK AT HER. SHE BABY
Tumblr media
I'm just curious where she's going after her talk with Circubit?
Any Thoughts/Theories On Season 1, Episode 4 Part 1 Video + Rant
Tumblr media
Part 1
Heavily sighs Godā€¦ Heavily sighs again, but longerā€¦ Hey, everyoneā€¦ I know my sorry ass hasnā€™t posted something here for so, so long, but, considering that the next episode for Season 2 is here in the current making, might as well get started, rightā€¦?
RIGH-
The Episode (Part 1)
MAJOR SPOILERS WARNING
Allow me to explain how my first reaction went hereā€¦
So the opening scene of Season 2, Episode 4 start off showcasing on a rainy night, seeing Dub telling Cyanide of his uttered disappointment of Cyanideā€™s ongoing failures within her missions, telling her that she shouldā€™ve corrupted him, implying to be Iris himself I think since Season 2, Episode 1.
Cyanide apologizes to her boss, Dub for what happened from her previous mission with Circubit, as Dub then commands her to go back to Circubit, while not giving a fuck about you crying on her communication device. Cyanide, while staying silent from Dubā€™s command and still sad, ends the call.
Pauses the episode
Me: This next part made me laugh and got so angered out loud because I fucking predicted that Circusic was going to find Cyanide being fucking miserable in the rain!
Let me tell you something yawlā€¦ For some weird reason, we ARE NOW TALKING TO CIRCUBIT AS A PURE SHAPE HERE OUT OF KNOW WHERE?!?!
Continues the episode
Cyanide somehow recognizes Circubit in front of her while heā€™s a pure shape. Circubit as a pure shape, questions her that is her boss, Dub is being an asshole to her, which also causes Cyanide to analyze the cuss wordā€¦
Mega pauses the episode
Tumblr media
Me: WOW, OK!!! THIS PIECE OF SHIT IS NOW TEACHING A CORRUPT HERO, WHO IS CANONICALLY 0 YEARS OLD CURRENTLY BTW, CUSS WORDS AND NOT GIVING AN FUCK!!!! Oh my godā€¦. Guys, I just really donā€™t wanna hear these Heroes start swearingā€¦ Itā€™s weird as fuck to meā€¦ Especially considering that they are still young and are childlike beingsā€¦
Continues the episode
After analyzing (the fucking cuss wordā€¦), Cyanide is seen trying to process how she actually feels about Dub as a caretaker (sort of) and boss due to how Circubit describes him. Circubit then sits down next to her through the aforementioned processing, telling her why bother listening to Dub. Cyanide tells Circubit that Dub is her caretaker and has to still listen to him.
Pauses the episode
Me: Well, Dub is her creator (sort of), but all Dub has been toward Cyanide is to be nothing but an insufferable asshole to her and she still listens to him regardless, despite the lack of care and support she has been given from him.
Continues the episode
Circubit tells Cyanide that sheā€™s right, but also says that her boss, Dub is making her upset and not being a good caretaker to him. Circubit then starts giving Cyanide vague advice which Iā€™m gonna briefly explain right now:
ā€œTake my advice, always do whatcha feel is right.ā€ This advice means to ā€œencouraging you to prioritize your own gut feeling and inner judgment when making decisions, even if it goes against external advice or societal norms.ā€ So, I think what Circubit is advising Cyanide to trust her own instincts and make decisions based on what she feels is morally correct or wrong.
Pauses the episode
Me: And also hereā€™s the problem about this in my opinionā€¦ The progression of their relationship from Season 2, Episode 1 to Episode 4 so far feels inconsistent and frankly baffling:
S2E1: Back when they first met, Circubit appeared largely indifferent toward his collaboration with Cyanide, maintaining a neutral dynamic. For instance, the first thing he does to her is scare her and not caring about it upon her arrival to the Corrupted Royal Castle. While not caring to fix her naivety here, Circubit gives off this remark, "I'll handle everything," implied he didnā€™t rely heavily on her assistance, even though they were nominally teaming up, while Cyanide wasnā€™t doing shit with him from their first mission together. Their interactions were minimalā€”only about two throughout the episode and both gone for the next 2 episodesā€”conveying a relationship that seemed purely functional at best.
S2E4: Then, after 2 episodes, out of nowhere, Circubit begins fucking speaking in pure form for whatever reason. Upon encountering Cyanide again, the first thing he does is start teaching her cuss words ("asshole") with zero hesitation or concern btw. From there, his behavior becomes jarringly inconsistent. He suddenly starts acting like he genuinely cares about Cyanideā€™s well-being all of a sudden, offering her vague advice, such as to ā€œtrust her instincts.ā€ Yet, seconds later, he's allowing Cyanide to make him become corrupted againā€”seemingly so he can resume his chaotic plans. Their entire dynamic so far felt forced and nonsensical, and I was utterly confused by itā€¦
Do you see what I mean? Thereā€™s no logical progression between the neutral, detached Circubit of Season 2, Episode 1, and the suddenly supportive, seemingly empathetic Circubit of Season 2, Episode 4 BECAUSE WE NEVER SEE THAT HAPPEN BEFOREHAND UP UNTIL THIS EPISODE EVEN STARTED!!!
Continues the episode
When Cyanide asks Circubit if thatā€™s what he has been doing, Circubit says Yep! to her, telling her that heā€™s hasnā€™t been doing anything his boss, Dub told him to do.
Quickly pauses the episode
Me: Oh my godā€¦ Dub is getting some dogshit servantsā€¦
Also also, this next part is even more bafflingā€¦ā€¦ā€¦
Quickly continues the episode
Cynaide, while briefly staying silent, flies up tells Circubit that she actually wants to be a hero instead of being a villain.
ABSOUTELY MEGA PAUSES THE EPISODE
Me: When did you believe that...... When did this thought finally cross your mind Cyanide after the past 3 fucking episodes you were in because there was no development progression up until this point for you to be saying that line with the help of Circubit! All you were was from the previous episodes, Season 1, Episode 9-10 to Season 2, Episode 1 is just being a poorly written woobie with a frustratingly naĆÆve sense of morality that gets you into these dumb shenanigans with these unlikeable/selfish corrupts in the fucking first place, causing you to appear completely distrustworthy and suspicious of most of the good guys into severe depression mode!!!
You were gone for like 2 WHOLE FUCKING EPISODES (S2E2 - 3) in this season so far, which made me almost completely forget about you as a character. And within this episode, the first thing you finally come back to do here is dramatically cry in the fucking rain to make me feel so terribly sorry for you sympathetically with your situation, even though I don't care about you because of how frustrating you are to me!
Secondly, you immediately started analyzing swearing and possibly will do it more later on (which is clearly Circubit's fault btw for swearing at a canonically 0 year old hero with no hesitation), which led me to scream out a huge "WOW, OK!" Because of how unbelievably stupid or maybe even laughable that was for the past 30 something seconds in this opening scene.
FINALLY, this one is just the best topping of how frustrating your character and alignment is on my fucking birthday cake. After some brief advice you've gotten from Circubit's bitch ass, when you said, "I want to be a hero. I do not like being evil.", A few seconds later you intentionally hugged Circubit as a pure form, CAUSING HIM TO BECOME CORRUPTED ONCE AGAIN!!! LIKE, WHAT THE FUCK!!! WHERE IS THIS COMING FROM OUT OF YOUR TINY MOUTH?!?! This baffling and contradictory behavior is the cherry on top of what makes your character alignmentā€”and overall arc so farā€”so unbelievably maddening.
Slams on on my spacebar to continue the episode
Circubit then tells her Great!, saying to her that they might met again. Cyanide starts quickly zooming toward Circubit, hugging and thanking him by using her head while alsoā€¦ FUCKING CORRUPTING HIM BACK TO HIS CORRUPT FORM FOR FUCK SAKEā€¦!
Slams on my space to pause the episode
Me: The execution of Circubit's return as a corrupt was somewhat exciting, I suppose, but it doesnā€™t excuse Cyanideā€™s sudden desire to become a ā€œtrue heroā€ this time around without no good development up until this point of the series. This already further shows me how fucked up her neutrality truly is. And, Cyanide STILL doesn't care about the consequences of her actions so far because she actively and intentionally facilitates Circubit's return to his corrupt form, knowingly enabling him to cause more chaosā€”and does so without appearing to care in the slightest!
AND WHY THE FUCK IS SHE SMILING ABOUT IT!?!? BRO!!!
Tumblr media
Slams on on my spacebar to continue the episode
Circubit appreciatingly tells Cyanide that she doesnā€™t have to thank her while going back to his corrupt form, saying to her about whacha needed to know. After Circubit leaves her, Cyanide starts flashing back toward the worst episode of the TPC series, remembering Cyan's advice and after that, she fucking smiles again and leaves, presumably going back to the main gang or not.
Part 1 ends here.
Finally done, gonna cry in my closet while eating a bowl of ice cream for breakfast....
Plus, If you guys have any further theories/predictions for part 2, tell me in the comments below.

If you had to eradicate one B&BH ship from existence, which one would it be?
UMMMMM probably Butt-Head x Daria šŸ«£
I guess whatever floats your boat. I'm in no position to judge in regards to fictional ships. There isn't anything inherently WRONG with it, but I just find it EXTREMELY out of character on both ends. Daria doesn't give af about Butt-Head or Beavis. At most she tolerates them or sees them doing bullshit like "woah! That's crazy guys. Get well soon!" Butt-Head is much the same. At no point in the run of the show do I see a smidge of chemistry between them that would suggest something romantic. When it comes to indulging in fan content for things like this, I tend to have a preference for sticking somewhat close to canon. I just can't see it as something that works whereas something like Butt-Head and Beavis is implied enough in the show as a joke to build off a legitimate interpretation.

why are you, as an adult in 2024, still hung up on reylo. why are you still mocking the shippers. why do you believe yourself to be superior only because you dislike a stupid ship from a fucking space fairytale. girl (gnc) get a grip
#it's ridiculous. this ship is... stupidly clichĆ©. like if you know fandoms at all#you could easily guess why people would be into it. hello?? have you tried to watch tfa without your hate-on-kyle-ron goggles?#did you watch their scenes together? you don't have to like something to recognize the hints#hell. at the time i didn't really like jonerys but i realized they were going to be a thing when i read agot in 2011#like folks. it's been nearly TEN LONG YEARS. let it go. LET IT FUCKING GOOOO#and for the lucy/cooper shippers out there who think reylos are (again) delusional when they compare the two ships:#no. *you* are being delusional only because you think reylo is unsexy and uncool (which is your right to think btw. obv)#if you can't see why someone would like both of these pairings for similar reasons... idk what to say honestly#people compared it to hannigram... honestly. again i see why they would appeal to anyone who's into both ships#i really do. but... unpopular opinion (since i'm more of a clannibal fan than i could ever be of reylo):#they are more similar to reylo than will/hannibal. there i said it#i'm not talking about the writing (admittedly the quality of it was questionable). i'm talking about tropes#never mind that imo the ghoul is more akin to vader than kylo but whatever#hannibal is an unapologetic kind of villain. he's not gonna have a redemption arc and that's okay#cooper is an antivillain who used to be a good man and became a disfigured cruel bastard. a parody of himself#lucy is him. him before the bombs dropped before he discovered the person he trusted the most wanted to commit genocide#nice. moral. polite. infused with the Good Old American Valuesā„¢. he's basically her dark side#all of this is very hannigram/clannibal. i'm not denying it at all#but what'll likely happen is that lucy's actions will have a positive influence on the ghoul and remind him of what it means to be a man#and that's way more reylo-like. sorry.#beauty&thebeast/villain with some hidden good in him+morally righteous heroine/enemies to lovers etc.#i mean. hello??..... having said that. i'm not so much of a reylo shipper anymore and tbh never was. i really liked it at the time#but i was never fond of the st era. my fav characters are vader and leia and revan from the old eu. just saying#*and* it's also not impossible lucy gets darker with the ghoul as her traveling companion. in fact i wouldn't dislike it at all#if done well i mean#but i would still like for people to be intellectually honest and less puerile. god knows i have my notps#but i really don't give a fuck about the shippers. good for them i guess? i have better taste lmao but that's heavily subjective#val rambles in the tags#val speaks#txt

FUCK RECENT BOOK JUST ENDED?!?!???!!
#i have been away too long. WEIRD ass position to be in.#constantly obsessing over my interest but getting scared to interact w it outside of the mind palace#gguuuhhh..... the... ISSUES....... why do i have so many of them...#I NEVER EVEN FULLY FINISHED SEIDER'S BOOK. i was scared of disappointment and scared of an ending#ugh .. but i am... so invested in ratatoskr... alfonse's insane dynamic w her. even if we don't see more of it#like. just the fact that we got That Scene. gave me enough of alfonse's character to work w for A LIFE TIME.#like to me. it can DIRECTLY translate to how he theoretically has been w sharena growing up.#and it still drives me so insane that alfonse has no personal attachment to ratatoskr and is (EVEN SELF ADMITTED!)#using her to his own ends. BUT. BUT. he's still so fucking good to her??? respecting her autonomy#again even if that WAS to win her over. like he was So good about it. IDK IDK IT'S THAT MIXTURE#of an act being purely practical and even self-serving. but he's honest and kind about it.#and ultimately it's on her if she wants to accept that under the given conditions/expectations.#and then ofc the Scheming. alfonse's METICULOUS ride or die act. ratatoskr made the informed choice to trust him#AND BOY HOWDY. WHAT THE FUCK. SIR. i KNOW you have your reasons and all of this is a means to an end#AND THAT'S WHAT DRIVES ME EVEN MORE INSANE. give him a compelling enough reason not just personal practical too#and even if he met you like yesterday. or maybe generously. maybe a week has passed.#this guy is both READY and WILLING. to put his life on the line for you. GOD.#uhghhhh... maybe i should actually play feh.........

making the decision on who to back for Archon is...
ngl, it feels a little different now, from the way they perhaps intended when they were writing that quest
