i'm going to throw up please explain your though process behind that latest pumpkinduo piece /pos /pleading
Of course … any reason to rant and rave about my minecrafters in my brain. LONG POST WARNING OMFG. I feel like I should like preface my view on Them lwk before I say anything first UMMM Pumpkinduo to me was a very obvious marriage of convenience and political advantage at first. Two parties joining together to gain voter power is way unethical but what are you gonna do if the Runner and his Vice are making eyes at eachother the whole time and then get engaged? Nothing. Especially if one of them is Jschlatt ( Scary in a real sense, can and would make you unable to live in peace physically. ) and the other is Quackity ( Doesn’t shut his mouth and trips people up real easy just by talking. Reputation ruiner over here! ) I think they just slotted together easily in a dominating act. But Schlatt is an emotionally repressed alcoholic and Quackity is an attention seeking nobody with avoidance/dismissive issues. So when they stick together it’s more like how Velcro is rather than anything softer than that. 
I believe they do fall in love in a real way after a while, but given how they see themselves / others it’s not feasible for either of them to properly pursue it. I think Schlatt falls particularly bad into self sabotage, because he denies himself positive things that are ‘handed’ to him. He loves Quackity but he didn’t work for him, he didn’t shape him into being quick witted and kind along with being a good & ruthless politician. Schlatt is not the cause of the aspects he enjoys from Q. He hasn’t seen Quackity be anything but hedonistic, and he resents it badly. Either for the fact he is envious to be that way himself or upset that he knows he doesn’t HAVE to be the way he is. But he is anyway. He likes these qualities from Q as well — but the two conflict in his mind so badly that he is unable to take the feeling in stride. 
So whenever they get comfortable, outside of the public eye, it kind of just makes him angry? Not explosively but snide and quick to close off. He wants to deny Quackity himself ( Which he knows Quackity sees as good in some fashion. ) Because he doesn’t allow himself the same luxury of having Quackity. And it makes Quackity feel awful no matter how many times they have something good. I think part of the reason Schlatt treated him that way was because he didn’t know what the fuck to do with that. Even in SMPLive almost all of the people there were more like business endeavors rather than anyone close to him ( save for Connor and like two others. ) so he doesn’t have a basis for anything else other than treating everything like an investment or a transaction. 
He wants to make Q feel less than because he doesn’t know how to be anything but devastating to anybody. He could be better but he has resigned himself into thinking that’s just what he is. He loves that Quackity holds himself well and is productive but HE wants to control that, to be the cause. Schlatt doesn’t think anything other than being broken down and chiseled into a smaller version of himself can make him healthier, so when Quackity comes to him with a gentle approach it feels demeaning. If he can’t help himself, why should he let others? You can’t buffer stone with a wet cloth. ( Which is ironic, you can buffer stone with wet grit cloth … usually the tactic keeps the original shape more clear rather than sanding it flatter. Ha! ) 
Sorry for so much text I hope this is comprehensive. I think about these two really hard all the time they���re evil and special to me at the same time. Glad that last post punched you in the face anon, twas the intent!

With the leaves starting to brown and the air starting to become crisp, your mind wandered to your loved ones as you began to wonder how to celebrate the spooky season with them.

Xavier 🧸
Xavier isn’t used to actually celebrating Halloween, especially considering he spends most of his days either sleeping or fighting wanderers. He’s more of the kind to just use the day as an excuse to buy himself a big bag of candy and spend the day on the couch in his apartment. So, when you come to him asking him to pick between two festive welcome doormats, he suddenly starts to grow a newfound interest for the festivity that you emphasized for the holiday.
Xavier would easily get into the rhythm of taking one piece of candy from the decorative platter you had out in your living room and eating it every time he visited. You only started to notice when you passed by one afternoon and realized that all the MilkyWays were gone from the plate.
You had planned a few, cute little stay-at-home dates with him, one of which included carving pumpkins. Xavier was a little confused at first, having to stick his bare hand into the guts of a pumpkin, but watching you become so focused on getting every little seed out and onto the tray between you two caused him to ease up a little more, finding joy in your own.
You popped the pumpkin seeds in the oven, explaining to him that getting in the “fall mood” was important and promising that they tasted good.
Neither of you were very good at carving pumpkins, in fact, Xavier’s barely looked like one in the end. He almost treated it like a wanderer with the way he was using the carving knife you’d given him. You both still ended up placing your pumpkins on display in a corner of the kitchen, you two joking about the process every time you laid your eyes on them.
Because he never really celebrated Halloween, he never really felt the need to dress up before. You were thinking of ways to celebrate with him and you figured it would be funny to ask him to dress up for a costume party being held by the Hunters Association. Another “team bonding” experience as dubbed by Tara. You just didn’t expect Xavier to agree and for the costume you picked out for the both of you to end up looking so good on him.
Choosing a classic princess and knight duo, you used it as an excuse to wear a pretty, flowy dress while Xavier took a more modern approach with his costume, opting to forgo the helmet that came with the outfit but insists lets you secure the cape beneath his shoulder plates.
Bonus: You’d jokingly ask him to dress up as Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast as long as you got to be Plumette.
On the night of the party, you were getting ready to leave, making sure you didn't leave anything behind before heading to the party before you heard a knock at the door. It was probably Xavier coming to pick you up.
You made your way over to the door, making sure not to step on the fabric of the white, frilly dress you wore with your heels. Opening the door, your eyes meet Xavier’s, whose averted from your gaze, the tips of his ears tinged pink.
Your mouth drops open, giving him a once over as your lips curve into a giddy grin. His icy eyes travel from the floor and up your figure, becoming entranced with the look of the dress on your body.
“You… look beautiful,” He murmured as his eyes met yours, a look of awe etched into his expression. The tips of his ears were still a little red from the embarrassment of walking down the complex’s halls in a knight costume.
“Not too bad yourself, Sir Lumiere.” You joked, placing a hand on his chest plate and pushing him backward into the hallway. You closed your apartment door behind you. “We should get going, the party is starting soon.”
You barely got two steps ahead of him before you were gently pulled back, Xavier taking your hand in his. You look at him with a confused expression as he kneels down to one knee.
“Please, let me escort you, Your Highness” He says, his voice soft and gentle, and the look in his eyes even more tender as he kisses the back of your hand. His hand holds yours as if it were porcelain, and his warmth seeps into your skin as he guides you down the hall.
Tumblr media
Rafayel ☠️
Rafayel had learned what Halloween was over the course of his time here, but never did he once celebrate it. It wasn’t out of hatred for it, but back in Lemuria it was never celebrated or even heard of. So he had no real idea how to go about participating in such a holiday. Before knowing you, he also had no interest in doing so.
This was precisely why you had made it a point to try and do something fun with him each day of the month of October.
On the first day, as in the very first day of October, you showed up to his home very early, decorations piled in multiple bags all held in one hand, and in the other were a ton of snacks. Day one was decorating his home to fit the vibe.
You explained common myths surrounding the holiday, most of which people don’t consider to be true but regardless it’s fun to talk about. You told him stories from your childhood of how you’re family celebrated and traditions you had each year.
His least favorite decoration was the big black cat figure with its back arched high and fake fur all puffed up. In fact he made you remove it from his presence at once.
Later on in the month you and him had visited a pumpkin patch. Rafayel spent at least two hours scouring for the most perfect pumpkin he could find. one without blemishes and one that was perfectly round. Once he found it he practically begged you to carry it, saying that if something happened he could hurt his wrist and never be able to paint again, eyes big and round and puppy dog-ish
After managing to find “the perfect pumpkin” you returned back to his place to start carving.
Pumpkin carving had so far proven to be his favorite activity, showing off his skills much to your despair.
He looked over to see your pumpkin and complemented its face, noting all the uneven sharp edges forming a sinister smile and slanted eyes. you expressed your gratitude with a smile Only it dropped the minute you looked over at his and he was literally carving a beautiful greek statue depicting icarus on his giant pumpkin. you decided to start cleaning up your own mess and be done after that.
When you brought up your memories of trick or treating as a kid and all the tooth rotting candy you got from it, even having some left over for months after October, he seemed increasingly interested in the event. He practically begged to go this year with you.
You had to sit him down to explain that normally it’s children, young kids who go trick or treating and that normally you’d dress up, so it would be hard to find a costume now anyway.
This did not stop Rafayel from whining and begging on hands and knees to go trick or treating. He didn't stop until you pulled out your laptop in defeat to order a costume online.
You thought he would look handsome in a Phantom of the Opera costume so you ordered one and luckily it would be here just before halloween night.
You had tried a few times to convince Rafayel to go to a costume party instead, something more sophisticated and fun but he was insistent you go to the nearby neighborhood and trick or treat with the local families.
☆BONUS☆ Rafayels favorite candy would ironically be Swedish fish (get it..)
☆BONUS☆ As a joke you definitely asked him to dress up as the little mermaid and prince Eric. you were prince Eric
You sat on Rafayel’s couch waiting for him to change into his costume. You sat in a beautiful vintage cream colored gown to match that of the Phantom’s love interest. Hair done to match the character as much as possible. You fiddled with the lace hemming of the puffy sleeves as you waited for him, adjusting bits and pieces of your dress. You thought back to all the fun you’d had with Rafayel over the month, aside from his insane talent of carving pumpkins he also enjoyed taste testing different candies that you dumped into a plastic candy bowl you had gotten for him.
“I can’t tell if this is right… help me please?” Rafayel walked out of one of the nearby rooms, fiddling with the white mask with one hand and adjusting his tie with the other. The coat tails danced behind him as he walked, shiny black shoes clacking against his tiles floors.
The minute his mauve eyes met yours his face turned red. “You look beautiful. I can see why the Phantom would fall for you,” he bowed, holding his hand out for you to take.
“Thank you Raf, and you… look so handsome,” you smiled, taking your hand into his gloved one, letting him kiss your knuckles.
You gently took the mask and leaned up, fastening it with the velcro band that it came with. You leaned back to make sure it was even and make sure he could see clearly through the cut out hole for his eyes. His hands immediately rested on your hips.
Your eyes widened when you realized. He didn’t need any help with his costume, he just wanted you closer. “Raf!” you scolded, “You didn’t need my help at all.”
“No really, I needed help..” he pretended to pout, only holding you tighter. “Come on, let’s go trick or treating!” He spun around you and dragged you along out of his home.
The two of you walked down a street of cookie cutter houses, decorated to the shingles with fake cobwebs and twinkling purple and orange string lights. Kids ran up and down the street in homemade costumes and store bought ones slinging around little baskets brim filled with candies. The sun was setting quickly and stars began to flicker in the sky.
“Come on! I heard one of the kids say that the house has king size candy bars!” Rafayel slid his gloved hand into yours and dragged you towards a big house. He knocked on the front door, an old woman opening the door while he shouted “Trick or treat!” holding a kids sized pumpkin basket that he insisted he take.
“Aren’t you two a little… old to be trick or treating?” The older woman questioned as she tossed a king sized bar of chocolate into his bag and another for you.
Rafayel frowned, nose scrunching. “There is no age limit to joy,” before stomping off. Most of the night carried on like that, but by the end he had filled his small basket to the top, tiny candies falling over the rim.
Tumblr media
Zayne 🧸
Halloween? Celebrating?? Halloween??? As a doctor?? Yeah, no.
Zayne is very used to his colleagues getting in the festive mood, decorating corners of the hospital with purple, orange and black garlands, mugs with black cats on them, and even crafts that some patients (mainly the children), helped with making.
However, Zayne never really had the time himself to make any plans, nor did he really care to. He was too busy all the time, getting called back into work even on his days off, leading surgeries, literally getting not an ounce of sleep. This usually occurred with most holidays, actually.
When you drop by his office, a store bought lunch in tow, you miraculously catch him on his “break”. You sit down across from him, letting him take his portion as he once again separates the carrots from his, giving them to you. You ask him what his plans for the holiday will be, or if he has any, and he’s almost confused for a second. When he remembers it’s October and the people of Linkon are getting excited for a particular, sweets-filled holiday, he admits he’s never really had room for celebrations.
You almost take a personal offense to this. Has he never felt the joy of sitting down in a dark room, a bowl of candy in hand, as a classic horror movie plays on a flatscreen? Immediately, you insist Zayne requests the day off. Almost just as quickly, he denies your demand. (He used Meow This.)
After plenty of convincing (which mainly consisted of leaning on his shoulder, giving him your best puppy dog eyes), he knew he couldn’t say no to you. He reluctantly agreed to take Halloween off, much to his colleagues' surprise.
As the week progressed, you introduced several ways to celebrate with him. Scenic walks in the park with overly sweetened pumpkin spice lattes in hand, going to halloween stores and picking up tacky decorations and cheap candy, and even trying your hands at making your own apple cider.
Zayne didn’t really seem like the type to go to a costume party, so you decided to spare him from more of your begging pleading. However, he still wasn’t exempt from wearing a costume.
Bonus: Zayne’s favorite candies are snow caps or york patties.
Bonus: You mentioned it would be funny if you two dressed up as Snowmeiser and Heatmeiser.
“Zayne, have you seen the candy bowl I set up earlier? I can’t remember where I left it. I thought it’d be on the counter…” You mumble to yourself, shuffling between the areas of the kitchen and the front door, trying to look for the bowl.
From around the corner, behind the bathroom door, you hear his silvery voice call out. “l believe you left it on the coffee table in front of the couch,” He answered as the bathroom door jiggled.
You turn around to look in the direction of the coffee table, seeing the bowl of candy and catching a glimpse of the door opening, revealing Zayne clad in black, red and white. Your eyes trail down his figure as you bite your lip, taking note of the deep cut of the white, frilly shirt on his chest. You grin widely as you stride over to him with excitement.
“I fail to see the appeal in dressing up like this. I feel foolish.” He sighs, analyzing your giddy reaction with tenderness. You smile up at him, beginning to fix a strand of hair that fell from his slicked-back style before ultimately deciding he looked better that way.
“Oh, come on Zayne! You make an amazing Dracula!” You exclaim. You get on your tip toes and lean towards his ear before saying “And a very, very attractive one at that,” in a hushed voice. Your hand gingerly rests upon his chest, feeling his heartbeat quicken just by a hair. His ears tinge with pink before the look in his eyes match that of yours.
“You look better in this kind of thing than I do, but I’ll humor you for tonight.” You watched as the fake fangs he wore poked out from inside his mouth as he spoke, pursing your lips in response.
“Maybe I should ask you to wear this kind of thing more often…” You murmured, eyes lingering on his lips. Zayne’s expression twitched in the slightest, squinting before he decided to tease you back.
“Careful, beloved. These fangs aren’t just for show.” He whispered, leaning down slightly as his lips just barely brushed against your ear.
Tumblr media
Sylus ☠️
Sylus was used to spending most of the holidays alone in his mansion with only Luke and Kieran to entertain him. Despite the N109 zone being inhabited primarily by conmen and other criminals–and despite not having any favorable visitors before you– Luke and Kieran were persistent in their efforts to at the very least decorate the main foyer.
Halloween was by far the easiest to decorate for considering the dark atmosphere and eerie decor already inhabiting the mansion.
Despite the now habitual ruckus caused by the twins during the few days leading up to Halloween, Sylus was pleasantly surprised when you asked him to celebrate the holiday with you.
What he did not realize was “celebrating” in fact meant helping you with the last finishing touches to your apartment for a costume party you were hosting. Not that he minded really, getting to spend some time with you outside the comfortable darkness of the N109 zone and instead the excessively bright skies of Linkon was more than acceptable. You assured him every one was too busy preparing for the weekend to notice him or be concerned about his presence.
Helping lug around big bags full of the last needed decorations and goodies he proposed playing a classic horror movie in the background to help motivate the two of you to decorate. When you agreed he quickly set up Friday the Thirteenth.
He used his evol to get in the hard to reach places and to hold the candy bowl out of your reach when he thought you’d eaten too many too early in the morning.
The day of the party arrived much quicker than he anticipated, but for once he seemed relatively excited to spend it doing something other than sitting around his home. Luke and Kieran were unrelenting in their endeavors to be invited to the costume party.
He had forgotten about that aspect of celebrating. Aside from whatever Luke and Keiran prepare for either themselves or him, he never partook in any festivities himself. That’s why when you initially marched up to him with a decorative bag in tow asking him to dress up in a matching partner costume he said no.
Disappointed but not defeated, you endlessly negotiated, tried to strike up deals, and nearly begged. It didn’t take too much convincing to match with you when he heard you mumble about returning the product.
He opened the bag, playfully rolling his eyes at the pleased and self satisfying look on your face. Inside the bag he could see a dark gray set of something fluffy. He looked up from the bag, unamused. Pulling out the items he realized it was the parts of a wolf costume. Fluffy gray ears attached to a cheap plastic headband, a small wolf tail attached to a stretchy velcro belt, and two big fluffy wolf paws that would surely make it hard to grab a piece of candy from the snack bowl or text the twins back to tell them they were invited to the party.
His surprise grew when he noticed in your own hands a small red cloak and a wicker basket. The classic fairy tale of the big bad wolf and little red riding hood. It was definitely an amusing duo idea you had come up with for sure.
☆BONUS☆ His favorite candy would probably be something “spicy” like Hot Tamales or Red Hots!
☆BONUS☆ As a joke you’d ask him to dress up as a scarecrow to see if it spooks mephisto
Sylus tapped his foot impatiently behind your closed door, pushing the tuft of fur away from his wrist to check the time on his watch. It was ten minutes til the party was supposed to start and he was waiting for you to finish the last touches of your costume. His gaze swerved around the apartment, the faint sound of a halloween playlist playing softly from a speaker in the kitchen, helping to set the atmosphere.
Fake spider webs with abnormally large spiders were hung in every corner of the ceiling, different horror movies playing on the screen, dangling fairy lights of purple and orange decorated some areas of the apartment. There was even a small fog machine that was hidden behind the couch. The work you had done—the work he had helped you with—certainly was worth it.
The door clicked getting his attention, looking over he felt rather pleased being your costume partner for the evening, seeing how you looked.
The red cloak billowed delicately behind you as you walked over to him, the hood resting loosely on your hair. He looked you top to bottom not bothering to hide the smirk on his face. The dress was a simple cottage-core style ensemble: frilly, short and sweet accompanied by black tights and brown heels. The wicker basket swung around your wrist. Twirling, you chimed, “How do I look? Do I look like i'm on my way to bring my grandma some sweets?” You opened the basket to reveal a couple of candies resting on the bottom.
“You look great, Sweetie,” Sylus hummed, lifting the hand of yours that wasn’t holding the wicker basket to his lips to plant a kiss on your knuckles. His free hand sliding into one of the openings in the basket to snag a candy and pocket it for later.
Letting go of your hand, he slipped it around your waist and under the cloak, squeezing you close to his side. The paws he wore took up almost all the space along your torso with his giant they were. He hated how he could barely feel you beneath the thick fabric of those damned paws.
“Oh my, what big teeth you have!” You playfully teased, nudging him in the side with your hip.
Sylus leaned down, lips close to your ear, “The better to eat you with, my dear.”
A knock on the apartment door left you no room to retort as the party had started. All you could do was try to collect yourself as he sent a wink your way before greeting the guests.

long rant abt c pumpkin & (some) tnt duo
(cw/tw: loads of abuse mention)
screams and shakes around like that one halloween animatronic … u know the one …
Tumblr media
like this is how i feel when i think abt tnt duo. in my mind its always been one sided… like they can never actually MUTUALLY like each other. it’s such a disheartening feeling/experience. never being able to recognize their own feelings or the other person’s.
I could rant abt Quackity’s relationships for genuinely fucking ever. I genuinely believe that Q and Wil are so incompatible and are gen only able to quote unquote be together when their lives are in ruins. They can only find solace in each other when they’re amidst chaos or their own downfall like it’s a fucking joke. BUT NOT WHEN THEIR LIVES ARE GOOD! They have no interest in one another when they’re being fulfilled in some other way. They’re genuinely ALWAYS each other’s last resorts and I will DIE ON THAT HILL.
Don’t even get me STARTED with pumpkin duo i will fucking **** ****** trying to verbally articulate the sheer complexity of their dynamic and why I will always be a pumpkin duo truther. I will always have a deep craving for a Schlatt revival and an actual redemption arc. I think so many ppl get caught up in this fanon central caricature of him. Like why make him one note evil villain 😈 😈😈 when you can have a complex and even at times conflicting character.
Schlatt gets infinitely more interesting when you actually delve into his relationships and his actions taken all throughout the server. Everything is meticulously planned even the mistreatment of everybody in his cabinet excluding a few ppl. Do I think he knew/was prepared for just how bad it eventually got? No clue.
Abuse is made up of the “good” and bad, they require each other to keep the victim not only afraid but dependent. Life is pretty easy when you have ppl at your beck and call. I always imagine what Tubbo could’ve ended up being if he hadn’t had an out in the form of Tommy/their relationship. My beloveds fr..
Back to /srs rant lmao. Does nobody think abt just how hard it must’ve been for Q to try and get out from underneath that. Knowing that he doesn’t like the way Schlatt treats him, that he isn’t respected or seen as a person most of the time, yet he has no choice but to try and survive bc nobody else has his back atm—because they physically can’t .
Then there’s the trauma bonding.
For the ppl that don’t know a trauma bond is the (unfortunate) relationship formed between an abuser and their victim . There is no mutual bond or equal/leveled ground in that bond. It’s basically getting attached to your abuser and the abuse they inflict on you.
Smthin smthin… self harm addiction smthin smthin…
I wish more people highlighted the importance and actual existence of Quackity’s dependence on Schlatt because that’s what J wanted. Do I think he MEANT to do that? That he went in with the intention of breaking Quackity into submission/compliance, forming a twisted relationship/bond that graduated into a mutual enabling? Doesn’t matter because he managed it anyways.
Schlatt’s brutal existence says everything we need to know about him internally. Like it’s amazing the way his facade slowly faded away as he lost autonomy bc of his alcoholism and that people started treating him as such. Like. He was playing with his cards showing LITERALLY.
… and that’s where i’ll leave this bc my brain is actually cooked and this probably didn’t make sense anyways LMAO

Steady Sweeties
My beloved friend @drpeppertummy wrote a fic about his silly little she/they. One thing led to another and now. Two seperate events of the same party one happening before the other.
[Mild hunger, stuffing, mild eructo]
Toddy's stomach wasn't the only thing moving back and forth as they drove the Beanmobile. You see, they were transporting some very important cargo for a very hyped up party. After Sunny had invited a bunch of people they knew to his place for a party on Halloween, Sage wanted to bring some homemade treats to the party. Both of the items she prepared catered well to Toddy but also could be crowd pleasers. One was a big tray of Devil Eggs. Not Deviled Eggs. These eggs had a bit of an extra dose of paprika as well as red bell pepper horns. The other was a big cauldron of apple cider. A drink so good they named themself after the alcoholic version of it. However, the cauldron could spill in the car which made Toddy ill at the thought of. Sure they were in overalls due to their costume and it could be easy to clean but they have not sullied their Kia Soul not even once. They were the only one capable of driving right now due to Sage's costume being a frilly orange dress, they still felt sick and nervous driving the jersey roads.
After about 20 minutes of careful driving, the two finally arrived at Sunny's place. There were a few cars already there. Toddy took a deep breath in for 4 counts, held it for 4 more, and exhaled for 6 before getting out to grab the eggs. Sage hoisted the Cauldron out before joining beside them. Sunny almost scared Toddy half to death when he went to greet the two of them. Not just from the sudden surprise but also because Sunny was dressed like a giant ham. If Toddy were a movie buff, they would've known it was Scout's ham costume in How To Kill a Mockingbird. They did not and assumed someone dared him to.
“Oh wow! Look at you two.” Sunny admired the costumes the duo wore. The two looked just like Luigi and Daisy from the Mario Series.
“We are the Steady Sweeties after all… just like Mario Party 5.” Toddy explained to him. Sunny's ass was not listening. He suddenly became so enamored with the eggs they were carrying. If they didn’t know any better, they might say Sunny was drooling at the sight of them.
He let the two pass by him before shutting the door behind him. There were a lot more people already there than they expected.
“Did we come here late?” Toddy asked, worried that maybe they read the invite time wrong and they ruined everything.
“You're good.” Sunny affirmed. “We were just about to start anyway. There are only two more people I'm expecting.” Toddy looked around the room while Sage went to set up. All of the filmmakers were there in much more normal costumes. Carrie and Laurie were talking on the couch, Gray was near the snack table, and Dave was trying to put a movie on for the rest of them. They wanted to wave but had their hands full so they moved closer to the snack table.
Sage had set her cauldron down near some pumpkin paper cups. Toddy set the eggs down near a pot of pumpkin stew. The rest of the table was adorned with various party snacks. Their completionist tendencies were trying to overtake them but they needed to say hi to Davey first. They got closer to the TV before taking off their green cap.
“Hey.” Toddy waved meekly before putting their hat back on. “Do you want anything? I can get something for you if you want.”
“Thanks for the offer. I'll be there in a second. I brought pumpkin soda.” Dave replied while he fiddled with the dvd player. Toddy chuckled at the soda statement.
“You sure do love your sodas.”
“That I do.”
“We brought homemade cider. In fact, I'll go get myself a cup.” Toddy shot finger guns before going to get some.
Once again the table was in full view of their eyes when they grabbed a plate… the assortment of snacks made their stomach whine ever so softly. While it still felt uneasy, the spread was perking up their appetite a bit. There was cider and pumpkin soda as drinks. They set their cup out and ladled some into it. As they looked they sipped upon the cider. There were caramel apple slices that they just had to grab. There was what looked to be a mummy cupcake? They weren't sure of anything about it besides that it was probably made by Sunny. The more they looked at the table the more they realized this party was heavily skewed towards sweets. It made sense for the holiday but marshmallow spiders, chocolate covered pretzels, pumpkin popcorn balls, ghost rice krispie treats, and a bunch of wrapped chocolates. Hershey, Kit Kats, Milk Duds, Almond Joy, and two kinds of Reeses laid on the table alongside everything else. They looked back to the eggs… if Sage had not made these eggs, they didn't know what they would do. As they took another sip they realized they already went through a cup of cider. No big deal. They just ladled another one.
“What a balanced party meal.” Toddy thought to themself. Devil eggs, caramel apple slices, and some apple cider to wash it down. They took another sip and it was extremely warming after thr cool apple slice. Some got in their fake mustache which made them coil a bit but they had to be stronger about this. They chugged the whole cup as an excuse to go back to socialize, right where Gray was standing.
However, when they got there they felt so overwhelmed. They just stood there. Shoving Devil Eggs into their mouth in one go. They had gotten through a few like this before Gray turned around right as they did it once more. They were being perceived at the wrong time. They blushed before they grabbed another cider, said a quick hello, and rushed back to their seat. Gray followed them to their seat. They think he knew it was a rough night for them.
Gray started up the conversation first. The two of them weren't the most talkative pair but when he broke down their walls, it made them feel emotionally at ease. Physically? Not so much. The more they drank and chatted, the more their anxiety lessened. With that anxiety gone, it revealed that their stomach was pushing against the overalls. It felt warm but also bubbly like a cauldron itself. If the movie and the overalls ambiance didn't exist, they knew their stomach would sound like the depths of hell.
They stifled a bit of a burp and not a few seconds later, Sage came to sit next to them. She leaned close to their ears.
“You doing alright?” Sage whispered gently.
“Not really… I tried to talk to people but I've never been good at parties.”
“At least you got the food part down.” Sage joked before she hovered her hand over their belly. They shook their head no before they leaned in close.
“Not here.” They softly yet firmly spoke.
“Do you want to head to the kitchen to see if I can help you in relative peace?”
They nodded and off the two went. When one belly tagged out of the game, another one came to tag in at the door. With Dan and Jesse's arrival, it took most of the spotlight off Sage and Toddy's disappearance. Sage was able to feel and hear each slosh and groan of her fake mustachioed belly. The more she rubbed, the more they felt better. Eventually they would head back to the party but Toddy and Sage were enamored in their sweetie's presence.

Trying to redesign Rider
Tumblr media
i talk about Pumpkin a lot cause she's my top fave #1 forever
but Rider is her second half. Pumpkin is a headless horseman and she's the horse!! they're a duo. do not seperate!!!
that said rider's design has always been finicky.
I won't spoil Pumpkin to much but she is a major optimist. Rider, however, is not. She's apathetic and vile. She's a goth girl obsessed with death. The're both thrill seekers.
So I thought, hey, what's a modern horseman? A motorcycle rider. Fits the thrillseeker theme and modernizes Pumpkin. (Although, she's such a cowboy that her design doesn't really scream biker but her jacket should give enough of the vibe...)
idk. my biggest issue is that all the main cast of UT are humanoid in design. making a bipedal monster is difficult -and even harder if I want her to have wheels instead.
my solution was to give her wings! wings that can act as hands like how birds in cartoons do.
but now i'm like, oh man, i wanna make it more clear she's a motorbike. i feel that's a part of her design that's been lost over time. but in practicing drawing bikes i just??? hate how it looks? they're so complicated and adding in detail just clutters so you gotta pick the most important parts but that makes it harder to justify her wings. WHAT is Pumpkin supposed to use for handles?? her frickin EARS??
idk idk idk and i'm spinning in circles idk what to dooooooo

Picnic
Fresh grass crunched underfoot. The chequered blanket was soft under her touch. Marlene rolled over and gazed at the girl lying beside her. The sunlight bounced off her gold necklaces and her dark cheeks glowed with warmth. Her fingers were tangled with Marlene’s, pointy purple nails dragging over the back of her hand. Dorcas’ eyes were closed as she absorbed the sun. Marlene thought she might be consuming its power with all the glittering and glowing she was doing. Her free hand played with the end of one of Dorcas’ many braids and she twirled it in her hand.
It was a peaceful and lovely afternoon, Marlene couldn’t be happier. Beside her, her girlfriend smiled. “Enjoying the view baby?”
“You know it,” Marlene said with a giggle, placing a kiss on Dorcas’ cheek. She flopped back down and watched the clouds above her swirl and change shape.
“Ooh, Cas. Cas, babe. Look at that!”
Dorcas cracked open an eye and squinted at Marlene. “What is it?”
“That cloud up there, it looks like a duck.” Marlene snorted pointing up at the sky.
Following her gesture, Dorcas let out a scoff. “That looks absolutely nothing like a duck! Sweetheart, I think you’re going blind, if anything it looks like a cat.”
“I am not going blind, thank you very much. It does too look like a duck.” She narrowed her eyes. “See look, there’s a beak, a tail and his little webbed feet.”
“No no no, you have it all wrong. That’s the cat's tail, his head and then four little legs.”
They continued to argue about the very normal cloud for a solid twenty more minutes before they realised that it had floated off.
Marlene decided it was time to open up the rest of their snacks and she fished out a packet of Berti Botts Every Flavour Beans from her bag. Ever the competitive duo, they started a challenge to see who could guess the most flavours. So far Marlene had bubblegum, dirt, lime and paper, three that she didn’t know. Dorcas on the other hand had guessed cherry, brownie, soap, grass, pumpkin, shoe polish, and bacon. There was only one so far that she didn’t know.
“Ugh, how come you’re so good at this? It’s so not fair!” Marlene complained.
Dorcas rolled over and gave her a soft kiss. “It’s not my fault your bad darling,” she said, patting her girlfriend's cheek.
“Rude,” came the response before Marlene pulled her back down into another kiss.
She loved kissing Dorcas. Every kiss tasted like chamomile and sunlight. It had the rush of winning a quidditch match combined with the joy of being surrounded by her friends and family. It was soft and delicate and passionate and hungry all at once. She felt as though she was going to combust, but also if she stopped she would collapse. Dorcas meant everything to her. More than her quidditch, magic, and music. More than she could ever dream of.
Loving Dorcas felt like someone had ripped open all her scars and filled them with the light of a star. It burned, it healed, it warmed and it stung. There was something in her soul. It wasn’t perfect, and it wasn’t huge, but it was there and it was important. She loved Dorcas and Dorcas loved her and they would see this world through; side by side as it was always meant to be.

Week 1 of my daily art project: OCtober!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Its just a whole bunch of my ocs (plus my friends' ocs who im going to be drawing every weekend (not on day 1 tho)) in assorted halloween costumes/cosplays!
assorted info about my choices under the cut! also, my ask box is open if you wish to ask any questions about them!
-The Ball Lord is designed to be this hyper intimidating, but ultimately pathetic anime-style antagonist, hes crazy and his design reminded me of JJBA's The World, so i had a lot of fun with that.
-Starral is mainly dressed up as rosalina because of her origins. Shes a hyperactive lady whos super energetic and emits a literal aura of energizing energy, because shes all inspired by the Starman from mario. thats really the main reason i drew her as rosalina. pretty lady dressed up as pretty lady, sounds egood.
-Retina is another weird choice, shes a robot with giant eyeball screens for a head and shoulders, so i thought making her into "that one eyeball enemy from super mario 64" sounded fun. so Mr. I she became! shes also donned in a ton of lethal lava land textures because that sounded fun to do for me.
-the object fighters are all like. no thinking choices. potato is vegetable, so is pumpkin jackolantern! sprite is drink so is pumpkin spice latte! grapes are fruit so is cranberries and those are from thanksgiving but whateva!!!! theres a lot of lore about them im disregarding but the most interesting is that battle potato is a seasoned war veteran, thats about all i think is important enough to say.
-Bee-J is an infected hollow knight bee made by vespa, specifically having parts of his brain removed that make him act on violence. the hive collapsed and he was still alive and vespa's plan ultimately worked because he physically cannot think to be violent. anyways the radiance and bee-j are just a dumb comedy duo where beej is having a good time and the radiance wants him to fucking kill so bad. i thought turning the radiance into an afro sounded fun so i made im into the disco zombie from pvz sounded great.
-JAM-35 (or James) is just a gangly thin robot. making him look like endo 02 out of a bunch of spare junk like cardboard and tape sounded fun so i did that. im really happy with the pixelated face and the scan lines thats just something i wanted to say.
-Chill was specifically my friend's sona, she wanted me to draw her as the 14th doctor she cosplayed as once, and i did. i also kinda did it because i wanted to make one of my characters commemorate that me and my friend finished watching doctor who series 10 which was really fun. i had a great time with it! so this really just killed two birds with one stone. amazing awesome fun yes.

My Recommended Movies to Watch During That Gap Between November to December
Funny, you'll think that for a country that does not have more than two seasons (summer & rainy) and for a girl who has never experienced any other season except the aforementioned duo, I would know all about autumn & winter and how it feels like. I don't, LOL. Which is probably why I romanticize it so much.
Tumblr media
So sadly because I cannot [yet, until further notice] experience the beauty and magic of autumn & winter, I am able to translate my love for it through my other favorite thing in the world - movies.
Even if I have not experienced these seasons, I still feel like there is this strange gap between November and December wherein there is only a specific type of film to watch. Otherwise, it feels out of place. I wouldn't watch Barbie (2023) around this time, for instance. Although sure, in Hollywood box office standards, this is usually the time when big budget films are released in time for Thanksgiving so people are expected to flock to the cinemas. Ka-ching. (Unrelated but this is also the time when many studios purposely release their films to campaign for awards season - not an official stat but just my observation lol)
Anyway! My point here is that this a great time to watch (or rewatch) a handful of cozy films, whether at the cinemas or at home. Personally, I think that films similar to the ones I'm listing below are the cosiest kinds to watch during the [imaginary] autumn to winter transition:
Little Women (2019)
Tumblr media
This one's a no-brainer. I may be biased because it's the first adaptation I've watched, but I think this is the version that captured the warmth of the book and that's why it's my favorite one. Aside from the characters being perfectly cast [TO ME], the creative way Greta Gerwig used the warm and cool tones to represent their childhood and adulthood respectively is probably what makes this such a rewatchable masterpiece. That's my favorite thing about this version - I can't not watch this every holiday season, it's an absolute must. Plus the beauty of seeing the March sisters come of age through the different seasons, with autumn and winter being the most important ones is such an enchanting thing to watch.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)
Tumblr media
Arguably the best in the franchise, as is the general consensus, The Prisoner of Azkaban is the most cozy of all the eight films. What's ironic about this is that the climax doesn't even happen in autumn but in the spring (as is every single one of Harry's adventures which happen towards the end of the school year). The film also literally shows the transition of the seasons though; there's just something about going through Hogwarts while seeing the leaves change color then fall. I guess it's the color palette that the genius that is Alfonso Cuarón has applied onto the film is what makes it so cozy and autumnal. That and Hagrid's oversupply of pumpkins.
You've Got Mail (1998)
Tumblr media
One of my favorite genre of films is when Meg Ryan decides to spend autumn until the holidays in New York. It's only ever happened twice, but funny how that came to be. Which probably leads you to the thought of, "Why did you put You've Got Mail and left out When Harry Met Sally (1989), Marga?!" Well I've got an explanation for that in the end of this post, Janet, so read until the end. Anyway, again, we literally go through the different seasons while seeing Meg Ryan & Tom Hanks go from hating each other to falling in love, and I think that's what makes this film so charming. Oh, and any romcom that begins with "Dreams" by the Cranberries is guaranteed to be an instant hit in my house.
Dead Poets Society (1989)
Tumblr media
Listen, I just watched this for the first time last week (the day after Thanksgiving no less), and until now, I am still a complete hell of a mess. One of the most beautiful screenplays I've ever seen, and one of the few films that actually has heart. I think in this instance, we can disregard the seasons for a moment, though we cannot argue that it also was a paid actor in this film. However in my opinion, it's not the seasons that makes this film warm and cozy; it's the story itself. Absolutely no words. These boys have my heart.
The Holdovers (2023)
Tumblr media
A lot of film junkies have compared this film to Dead Poets Society for the similarity in plot, which explores the relationship and influence of a teacher with his student/s who is/are struggling to find themselves. And naturally, when would be the best time for this to happen? During the holidays! Yes, the majority of the plot of The Holdovers happens during winter and Christmas (in fact there's hardly any sign of autumn) but again, the coziness is not brought about by the season itself but the story. I love how this is, yes in a way, similar to Dead Poets Society but its warmth is different; not to mention some light comedic scenes here and there. If you ask me, The Holdovers is Dead Poets Society's winter sister, if that makes sense.
Now, there are obviously longer and more specific lists out there; some may be more autumn-centric while some are purely holiday-centric. And while I agree and this is a free world, I feel like these specific films - though they are not solely for autumn or Christmas - perfectly portray both. (I hope I'm not rambling here and I'm getting my thoughts out perfectly the way I want it to lol) Think of it this way - when you think of autumn films, do any of these come to mind? What about winter/Christmas films? Both work, right?!
Another thing I'd like to mention as my last point is that while the seasons may not be exactly "essential" to the plot, it plays a huge role in setting the tone, and sometimes to an extent, plays a "character" in the story. Think The Holiday (2006) - would the plot have worked if the setting wasn't at Christmas? But we can imagine Joe Fox and Kathleen Kelly write emails to each other any time of the year (and they got together at springtime, no less!) but for some reason, watching their relationship progress begin during the holidays is so enchanting.
Anyway, that was a lot of rambles. My brain is quite fried at the moment, so I hope you enjoyed this little piece while you wrap yourselves in your knitted sweaters, a cup of coffee in hand.

I may reblog this several times to respond to comments because there's so much to unpack. About Bayliss being one of TV'S greatest characters:
Tumblr media
Also, spot on with everything else you said about him.
*Spoilers below:*
***********
I don't think I've seen a character so compelling, in TV or movies, in a long, long time. Loved him instantly and that love never wavered, no matter what he did or said.
He wants so desperately to be seen, to be known, to be loved. Precious baby. He is a true Shakespearean Tragic hero, and his fatal flaw ?
He cares too much, and doesn't know how, or when, to turn off those feelings. And ultimately, that's his undoing.
As far as Pembleton/Bayliss, they are one of TV'S greatest duos. I don't know about them being "in" love...but I know Kyle Secor believes Bayliss may have been in love with Frank, and he plays some of their most important beats that way. I know the rooftop scene from the finale had in the original run, the Smashing Pumpkins song "Crestfallen" playing in the background. One of the lines from that song:
"You were never meant to belong to me." So I think the show, by using that song, (other interesting lines in the song that applies to them) was making it ambiguous/ leaving it up to interpretation. I think they use the song because in one of the first drafts of the script, Bayliss says "I love you" directly to Frank on the roof...but they removed the line.
Anyway, I could talk about Timothy Bayliss, aka Bunk, aka Teej, aka Butthead, aka Timmy, all day long, and Bayliss/ Pembleton, too. I love him/them.
Loved reading your thoughts and will try to come around and comment on the rest of it when I have time.
Seven Seasons & a Movie
I have now finished all 7 seasons and the Movie of Homicide: Life on the Streets. Well actually I finished it yesterday but I needed to process (ie Read as much fanfic as i could my hands on) but now I am ready to info dump, forcing all of you to hear my thoughts on a show that aired over 20 years ago in a similar way to my CSI Post.
The TLDR is Homicide is a really well built show that more people should watch. There are things that you don't agree with but it mostly feels like those things happen because its grounded in reality. Also i can't think of a procedural that does continuity as well as this one did.
Sorry that this is so goddam long & Spoilers incoming.
Lets talk seasons:
1 &2: they are short enough that they feel like one continuous season. the Adena Watson case starts as something for the show and the characters that, honestly, never goes away (I personally feel like the arabber did do it if your curious). I feel like these seasons are a masterclass in introducing characters and a formula. also name another show where a season one case is refenced every season including the end.
3: the 22 episodes season is were H:lots hits is real stride. Season 3 has some episodes that will live rent free in my head for ever. Crossetti, the last of the watermen, the city that bleeds arc those are the stories that I'm really going to remember.
4: The season of 2 part episodes, I think this is the season we really start to see a shift with the addition of Kellerman and the promotion of Howard and demotion of Russert the characters get to be put in new and unique postions.
5: While I would say season 3 has my individual favorite episodes I think 5 is the shows most compelling. Some people do bad things some people do good things. It was hard to watch some of those things but it never felt like the show was going to hard or jumping any sharks.
6: Don't getting me wrong their were some bangers, looking at you Subway and Finnegan's wake , but i did start feeling the weight of this show a bit more in this season. Some of the new characters don't work for me.
7: Some of the new characters still didn't work for me but some of them were a lot better. I feel like this was Bayliss season to win or lose and in a way that just makes sense for the series. I think that there are very few shows that can say they stuck the landing as well H:lots dose.
The movie: listen "avengers assemble" has nothing on the montage of the detectives getting the call that Gee's been shot. Some of this was probably because i knew this was the end of the line for the story but i genuinely was really moved by a lot of the movie. The Scene between Pembleton and Bayliss deserves every award possible.
The characters (kinda in order of how long they were on the show):
Steve Crosetti: I'm going to be honest besides his obsession with the Lincoln assassination the reason he is memorable is because Lewis remembers him. His death means something for everyone but I can't pretend like I remember a great deal about his life, which i suppose is a morbid point the show likes to make a fair amount
Rene Sheppard: At the other end of the only here for about a season, she is one of the better late season additions. I think they were trying something interesting with her to examine what it means to be a female detective in a male dominated squad. unfortunately i don't think the show had enough time to make a clear arc for her.
Michael Giardello: His relationship with his father was compelling and I never minded seeing him on my screen, but also i don't know he wasn't my favorite no real reason just didn't know him long enough.
J.H. Brodie: Fuck him, honestly. This is the clearest example of how I will forgive a character for anything except being annoying & without purpose.
Staurt Gharty: I really didn't understand the choice for him to come back after that one guest spot. I had moments were his presence meant that other character had some great development but i still don't like the guy.
Paul Falsone: Ehhh he had his moments I actually quite liked him when he was paired with Ballard and Stivers but I also i don't know i think its fair to say I have a bias for characters who are there for the long hall and he unfortunately doesn't benefit. The scene where he and Kellerman pulled their weapons on each other kinda ate though.
Laura Ballard: Kinda in the same boat as Falsone, I appreciated what they were going for and I definitely think there was a lot of good. I didn't like when they had her kinda go out with Bayliss but thats not really her fault you know. It was also interesting to hear an outside perspective of Baltimore.
Beau Felton: I love to hate this guy. I mean what a fucking mess (affectionate). He was never my favorite and he doesn't seem to be that great of a detective but you know I valued what he did on the show.
Stanley Bolander: What a guy, i mean he's just some dude. He and Much are hilarious. I don't know what else cause like he's just a very solid detective who is sometimes a bit annoying but in like a fun way.
Jullianna Cox: At the start there was a bit were i felt like she was only there cause they knew they needed more female characters but i do think they found a way to make her compelling. I mean she can be toxic as fuck, like she and Kellerman needed to attend AA soooooo badly, but i enjoyed having her on my screen.
Terri Stivers: Do I maybe have a weakness for Butch women? Yeah okay but shes just so cool and so good at her job and I love her okay. She's the only one that comes out of the Mahoney chaos with any sense of high ground and I love that for her.
Mike Kellerman: I mean this guy, this guy he feels like every time he tries to do something right he just diggs himself further and further away from what would actually help him. He is the example of how I should hate a character for everything they do but I just can't cause he's just so damm compelling. The scene where he tries to commit suicide, I don't know it really fucking got to me.
Megan Russert: I really love what she was able to do for the show. She was able to play equal to Giardello and she made her own path. She has also actually good a the political game, well mostly good at it. She had her own way of keeping people in line which I appreciated.
Kay Howard: You know this is my girl. You know it. I love her. I know she has her faults and her arrogance but I don't care i can forgive it all. I think she's a great detective and a great leader. I really felt the loss of her in last two seasons of the show. I wish I had something more intelligent to say or something to make it sound less like I am just a simp for her (which to be fair i kinda am but i do think there is more than that). There is a whole essay in my brain as to what Kay Howard means to me as a Queer woman, I mean I don't actually think she's a lesbian, but she's definitely got something LGBTQ+ going on.
Ed Danvers: Okay so technically he might be a reoccurring character but he deserved a mention. As an avid SVU watcher i enjoy a good ADA or in this case ASA. He really dose know when to deliver and he really urns the times when tells the detectives they don't have enough and the times he goes along with their longshots.
Frank Pembleton: There is a reason people think of him as the main character in an ensemble show and its well deserved. Get him in the box and this man shines. He isn't without his arrogance but he gets the job done every single time, even when maybe he should let sleeping dogs lie. He and Bayliss have one of those sexually charged relationships that just make TV work. also got to love a Guilty Catholic tm.
Al Giardello: Name a better leader i dare you. This guy cracks me up like he takes absolutely no shit from his detectives. I feel like there are some really shinning moments that get overshadowed by the flashier Pembleton and Bayliss. His talk with Megan about being a darked skinned black man and the episode where he kills a man are some of my personal favorites in the show. I almost cried when it was reveled he actually died in the movie.
Meldrick Lewis: He has some clear issues with women that I don't love but other than that he's really fun. He just seems like the kind of guy who just keeps going but he gets paired with partners who have some more serious issues. Again the Scene on Kellermans boat is a brilliant piece of acting. I know he was actively involved in some shady/ bad decision but I don't know I just don't blame him for it.
John Much: The reason Homicide was even on my Radar is because of his time on SVU and the man did not disappoint. I mean his conspiracies and crashouts are stuff of legend for good reason. I think the character is also really interesting as a lot of the harsher edges he has on Homicide get buffed out on SVU. I think if i actually met him in real life i would hate the guy but he's great TV. I also just have to take a moment for the scene in the sniper episode where he has an absolute crashout over the possibility of seeing Howard get shot again and Howard is just in the car going "what the fuck john". got to be a top ten moment of the show for me.
Tim Bayliss: I mean just has to be one of TV's greatest characters. He's haunted by a case he didn't solve. He had sex in a coffin. He's Bisexual, He's a Buddhist (?), He's a cop, He's a murderer, He's the new guy, He's the burn out. I could never wright fanfic for this show because there is no way I could do him right. He just so soft and kind but also so angry and harsh. I guess the implication is he commits suicide after the series but I think I want to live in the world where he just goes to jail.
Ships:
Note: I love shipping so I have to talk about it, but as the the low number of fic on Ao3 and lack of ship names implies i'm not sure if its a popular topic for this fandom so..... i guess what i'm saying is that these ships really are base off of my read of the show which i can't pretend is particularly impartial or astute.
Pembleton/ Bayliss: the best iteration of the partners in love bit can't/ won't get together. Like their are so many homoeotic moments but there are also plenty of moments where your just like these two men are so co-dependent and only one of them is aware of that. From blowing smoke in Bayliss's face, to " the sin is not your own", to "yeah i loved him" to " absolve me frank". I mean truly no one is doing it like them. 1000/10
Mary Pembleton/ Frank Pembleton: They are very lovely and I feel like i had to have a chance to mention how much I like Mary. I do feel like they work on their marriage in a way that isn't perfect but is more than most shows do. 10/10.
Russert/ Giardello: What? your saying you don't see it? It just they feel like they are so well matched and have great chemistry. not alot to say just that i think they would be good together. 9/10
Russert/ Felton: Girl you know you can do better. I feel like the sex was probably good though. 4/10.
Ballard/ Bayliss: Bad. I didn't like it for either of them. The writers were trying to work on some stuff and it didn't work. 0/10.
Cox/ Bayliss: Again not good, but at least everyone knew it wasn't good. 1/10.
Cox/ Kellerman: I mean its toxic as fuck, but i also kinda fuck with it. you know. 7/10.
Ballard/ Falsone: Okay they were just so sweet. I really thought they were fun. And i feel a bit bad saying this but i do think them being a couple made me enjoy them both a lot more then before they had a thing. 10/10.
Stivers/ Lewis: I fucked with it at the start, but then the show stopped pushing it for very good reason. Like they both had some bigger issues happening. 5/10.
Howard/ Munch: Okay this one is a little bit cause I read fanfic about them post series,and little bit cause I want my favorite characters to be happy. But Its mostly cause like i actually do see it. I genuinely think that out of all the detectives Howard worked best with Munch, they had a mutual respect and care that should be surprising but really works well and so yeah I ship it. I'm okay if others mark it down as a Brotp but I think it works romantically as well. 10/10.
Howard/ Danvers: Howard says he's great in bed and they stay friends after wards so you know can't be bad. 8/10.
Thanks you so much for reading if you made it this far. I'd love to hear other people's thoughts. I may be moving on to a new show, but I promise you tumblr i have some more H:lots content cooking cause I feel like there need to be more for such a good show!

     While kicking off this new ‘season’ of musical posts I suppose it’s important to remember why I started posting music with commentary in the first place. I primarily did it because I’m an ex-radio deejay that has heard some great and uncommon sounds that few others have even dared to broach. Sometimes the best tunes out there are tracks you’ve never even heard of. Being connected to the music industry a wee bit more-so than your average Jane or Joe, I have had the distinct pleasure of stumbling across singles or full albums by promising artists which have sadly gone unheard of by the public at large. Enter this week’s musical feature; Curve, a rare man/woman electric-rock duo that disappeared over a decade ago. Question: Remember Garbage (Shirley Manson, prominent in the late 90′s to early 2000′s, ‘I’m Only Happy When It Rains’)? Curve sounded like Garbage before Garbage even existed, and they stayed true to their form until the bitter end. You see, Garbage eventually went pop, alienating a significant cross-section of their core audience in the process. Curve did not break with their sound principle, not only preceding Garbage in terms of timeline/production, but also sticking to their guns and staying true to their rocktronica sound until their bitter end in 2005. Do you like heavy beats, sexy vocals, and a shoegazing atmospheric backdrop? Don’t you worry baby, Curve’s got you covered in spades! Managing to generate a solid but limited cult following, but never reaching quite the commercial success of groups like Garbage, they split once in 1994 and then again approximately a decade later. Fun random fact: the lead lady vocalist, Toni Halliday, is married to record producer and music industry legend Alan Moulder, who you might remember for formulating great albums with the likes of The Smashing Pumpkins, NIN and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. But enough of my pedantic ramblings, smash play and enjoy a song you’ve never heard of from an album you’ve never heard of, Chainmail from 2001′s Gift. You can find the full album here if you like the cut of their jib. Expect one tune per week from me until end of 2022, dear listener!

Kiki's Certified List of Every Lore Important Moment between Plumpkin and Mythrodak!
Under the cut!
Killing 100 Spiders with a Shovel
Plumpkin's first appearance!
It's kind of implied that Plumpkin was something Mythro created as his appearance was preceded with a sarcastic comment about how he's holding up, along with him ad-libbing for Plumpkin and him pressing a button to get something from him
But also not as at the end Mythro asks him to "Bring me another challenge"
Can you kill every mob in Minecraft with just a shield?
Plumpkin's first (albeit non spoken) words!
"You think you can beat every mob with that shield? Well then, let me introduce you to..."
She is observing Mythro fight the entire time
Mythro also refuses to kill Snow Golems, possibly because of Plumpkin
He also lists Plumpkin as a hostile mob, implying he considered killing them
Alone on Valentine's Day in Minecraft...
First sign of Plumpkin being hostile towards Mythro, glaring at him when he almost orders pumpkin pie
Mythro also says the following to Plumpkin at the end of their date:
"Well, Plumpkin, that was a good night, I'm glad we did this together. You know, ever since I haven't been able to play on pvp servers, my bloodthirst has been through the roof. You're the only one who has provided me with an outlet to express my rage and practise my skills at the same time. I feel that in time, we could grow to be the most powerful duo in this world. Plumpkin... you have a nice smile."
How To Beat The Ender Dragon With A Water Bucket
Plumpkin and Mythro have this conversation at the end
"It's done."
"Good, you have pleased me."
"What next?"
"For now you must rest"
"Alright... thank you Plumpkin (starts to walk away, then looks back at them)"
"Rest"
(Mythro walks off)
Poseiodon's Vault
This is where shit gets INTENSE!
Plumpkin appears at the end of this video, hinting that she had something to do with it
Hades' Vault
Plumpkin speaks to Sven about Mythro at the start
"Have you built it?"
"Yes sir, me and another engineer have built the most inescapable prison"
"If you put him in there, can he escape?"
"Absolutely not. Unless he has like, a small army of 10 withers but we both know that he's alone"
"Good, very good"
Titan's Vault v2
Mythro talks to Plumpkin at the end about his jail situation. He refers to Plumpkin as "someone I need to see"
"Mythrodak...?"
"Look, Plumpkin, I need to talk to you about something"
"Go on..."
"Someone has been imprisoning me over and over, or making some of their henchmen make prisons for me, and keeping me in them. The first few times I was courteous, and I asked them why I was being imprisoned, but I never got an answer. Plumpkin... should I go after this person? Should I pursue revenge, even after (mumbling, sounds like "all that")?"
"Do you think you can find this person?"
"I... don't know. But there is no use waiting around to get imprisoned again, is there?"
"So be it."
Gaia's Vault
Oh boy
Plumpkin talks to Sven about the prison
"[This prison, it's... amazing. It's-] -the epitome of perfection, that's what we've created, this new prison. And it's so good, it even has four cells!"
"We don't need four cells if we only need to contain him."
"But this prison is inescapable! He may have not have had help in the past, but now he might get so desperate he'll try to have someone break him out. And when they inevitably fail, and get caught, we can lock them up as well"
"That's a good point. But it better be as secure as you say this time"
"Don't worry, we took the most lengthy of precautions, we have chunk bans, bed glitches, pearl glitches and we have even gotten our hands on indestructible end crystals. We had to compromise some of our morality-"
"It doesn't matter, I don't care. Do anything if it means containing him. Let's be honest, he never deserved a "humane prison" in the first place, and even less now, after what he did to Ray and his men. Remember what we're doing this for. Our "morality" couldn't be more in the right, but we're running out of options, and we're running out of time, Sven."
"I won't let you down."
Plumpkin also talks to Deaf, one of the guards.
"Plumpkin?"
"[They still haven't learned and they've fallen right-] into our hands. He was planning to get captured, we knew that much, but to make sure he didn't try any funny business, we got some leverage over him."
"So he's on his way?"
"Yes sir."
Finally, Mythro steps out of the portal, and realises what has been going on
"We told you not to escape, Mythrodak."
"H-How could you-"
"-I'm sorry, but this is for the good of everyone in this world."
"What do you-"
"-You need to be contained forever. We know about your plans, and this is the only way to stop you"
"What do you mean-"
"You've hurt so many people, it's time to hurt you back"
"No you don't touch him [Shiratori]!"
"Kill it [Shiratori.]"
"No- Stop-"
(Sven kills Shiratori)
(A pause, Mythro stops staring at Plumpkin, stares at the remains of his bird and stares back up)
"And now, I'm afraid that I must trap you in this one place you can never escape. Your own mind."
"Goodbye, Mythrodak."
(The ground opens up and Mythro is sent into the abyss, staring at Plumpkin as he falls)
The Abyss
Mythro meets Plumpkin inside his own mind. They talk.
"Hello again. It's so empty in here, most people's minds are full of noise and confusion, but this is just... hollow. Have you thought about our offer?...Say something."
"You killed my bird."
"It was necessary, to put you into such a state you are in now, I needed to make you go through a severe emotional shock, such as losing someone you love. I can still sense that you're holding onto something. Anger, perhaps, but that will do you no good here. This may be your mind, but you aren't in control of it any longer, I am. Where you are right now is no longer yours to command"
"Necessary?"
"Yes, anything is necessary when it comes to this. Back when you asked me why you were being imprisoned, I almost fell for it. But you know exactly why you're being restrained, don't you? Deep down, you’ve realised it, maybe you've heard of it too: fate. So don't play the victim game here, Mythrodak. Go ahead and cry me a river, but it is my job to protect this world and everyone in it. Without me keeping you here, the prophecy will come true, and the gruesome fate will come upon those that me and you both love."
"That bird... was the last thing I loved. It was the last thing I had."
"You really can't let go of your pride, can you? You lost, Mythrodak, accept it. And if you can't, then you're just going to be here with nothing but your past to keep you company. I'm growing weary of protecting you, and if you persist any longer, don't forget that I am the guardian of this world, the only way the prophecy won't come true is if you stay captive, or if you are taken to your grave, and you know it too. Let me assure you that I will take the life of one to save the lives of millions, and you know I will, so don't make me. Here, before I go I'm going to leave you.. a reminder, of what happens when you tangle with me. Goodbye, Mythrodak."
(Plumpkin leaves a chest with Shiratori's feather in it. Mythro stares at it and it seemingly sends him over the edge.)
Escaping Minecraft's Hardest Prisons with Dirt...
At the end, Plumpkin's text can be seen, saying "This won't bring him back."
The him is supposedly Shiratori
The final sections are titled "No prison is inescapable" and "I've just got to play along for now"
1.8 Minecraft HITMAN vs 1.17 PRO (battle)
Plumpkin makes a brief cameo at the start
"This time we go back"
The Gladiator Pit
Sven leaves the arena and meets Plumpkin for the first time
"Hello, Sven. I need you to make a prison."
And as of now, that's a wrap!

4 episodes in, and we still know nothing about the Jamato. But speaking of things we know nothing about, listen up, DGP fans! Our new crowd favorite, the Grizzly Pumpkin Man, the third goddamn bear, Kamen Rider Punkjack! He's teaming up with our good buddy Mary, so who lies beneath the mask?
-Oh, Keiwa has one of those phones that like double as card carriers?
-She's onto you, bro!
-"Oooooops, teehee, I fucked up, hahahaha"
-Oh hey, Michinaga
-Doing construction work with his bro Toru
-...oh...
-He's gone.
-His ideal world...
-Only five Riders remain to meet their challenge.
-Big house!
-I'd like to live in one like that.
-Oh my God, it's Ace's foxhole.
-Workers!
-"Oh hey, it's my bestest buddy in the whole wide world, Michinaga! How are you doing, Azuma-kun, my beloved pet buffalo?"
-House Fixer!
-Just like the Vanilla Ice Project!
-BIG SHOT!
-I'm sorry, every time I hear somebody say "BIG SHOT!" my brain just breaks
-I'm sure you understand, right?
-"It's the perk of being an epic gamer. Something infinitely beyond your reach, little scrublord."
-Holy shit Ace bhjkljbh
-I mean, Azuma's pretty justified in hating his attitude, so
-"Wanna be my house building cuck?"
-Ohhhhhh, that's why Punkjack's being brought in?
-J
-Jamato magicians?
-Round 3, let's go!
-Trump Jamatos, the best Jamatos, very good people. Absolutely huge hombres, would play golf with them at Mar-A-Lago all the time.
-Duo format!
-Besties!
-"If you both fail, you're both fucking dead <3"
-Ace just... instantly picks Neon, huh?
-Uh oh, looks like Michi's friends with Keiwa now~!
-Mary's got a Punkjack!
-Guess they would wanna be anonymous, considering
-Lootbox given!
-Claw Buckle! A gift for Na-Go!
-Not even gonna talk to him, huh Punkjack?
-Boost Buckle!
-This bitch just can't get away from Tanuki Boi!
-Point time.
-Man, Keiwa's been rockin' Armed Arrow non-stop.
-If I recall correctly, he literally just keeps getting the Boost and nothing else.
-HOLY SHIT BUFFA
-Just straight up shove the gun in him!
-Tactical break!
-I see... there's a whole 52 deck to each of them.
-Good job, everybody! Goose eggs! Across the board!
-Pistol whipping has been pretty effective so far, Keiwa.
Keiwa: Oh, you're a fight-happy little bitch, huh? Azuma: You got a problem with that? Keiwa: Ah, no sir, I'll just trade in your gun!
-Keiwa about to commit the biggest tactical error of all time.
-See, Neon's playing smart!
-I see... the buckles are like... hard programmed with certain compatibility advantages. I suspected as much, but it is interesting.
-Y'know, despite the Boost Buckle being so like... intrinsic to Geats, it seems to work perfect with just about anyone, if Na-Go's any indication.
-"Me, work together? Never."
-Aaaaand, off he goes!
-Ohhhh... the Zombie's important to him in other ways, huh?
-Ohhhhhhh... Ace, what did you do?
-Oh cool, a training lobby.
-NeonTV~!
-"Good enough."
-I love their DGP shirts.
-Jumping right in!
-"Hey wait Zombie Man, I was posing!"
-Oh god, this is the most inconvenient memory match game ever.
-Two Jammy Bois!
-"Start to finish... going for the highlight! You're gonna wanna clip this!"
-Dancing Stream feat. Ace Ukiyo!
-Paint balls!
-The fox and cat are winning.
-"Looooooooseeeeeer!"
-Desire Money!
-I'm just gonna call them D-Bucks if that's alright.
-Working shit out, huh Michinaga?
-"My only wish is to bring down assholes like you."
-The buffalo leaves the tanuki for the sheep.
-Ohhhhhh, he got the Boost!
-Tune in next week, Gamers! Round 3 will end in a spectacular climax!
-Gotta say, even if I'm not really saying anything super interesting so far, I'm very much enjoying myself. These characters are just kinda vibes, y'know?

Hi Roxy this is a excuse to gush about the magic system of eternal duo au please tell me more about it
OH NO YOU ACTIVATED MY INFODUMP TRAP CARD
OK so, this is basically the result of me trying to make sense of Minecraft's absolutely broken and confusing enchantment system, and seeing if I could turn it into a field of study for wizards.
The study of enchanting is one of four fields of wizardry (the other three being potions, god/occult magic, and alchemy) and it tends to be more scholarly than it first appears.
A lot of this concept is mostly based on this banger post, it's Google spreadsheet, and some discussion with @l1r1kk1 about how enchantments work, and it's a pretty fun post, but a little complicated-sounding. But I've managed to break things down into some basic rules/limitations:
Certain written words have power, and in the right order and context they can channel magic into certain controllable effects for human use. These words are from ancient languages, from before fall of Endlantis (most are Old Standard Galactic, but others are an ancient Piglin script, and Endlantian).
Enchantments are often painted on or carved into tools, weapons, armor, and items using lapis (though other minerals can be used, lapis is easiest and most aesthetically appealing). Then, magic (experience orbs) is pulled out of the body through a focus, with either an enchanting table and a library which can be used many many times, or an enchanted book with the spell on it, which disintegrates immediately afterwards from the raw power of the concentrated magic.
If you don't have enough "levels of magic" (experience levels), your enchantments will be shorter and less potent, or in some cases, just not have enough "juice" to cast successfully.
Enchantments are limited by knowledge of the words of power. If you don't know exactly what you're writing, usually by copying it from an existing enchanted book that you're using for a focus, you'll have to use an enchanting table and a library to try and piece together words of power yourself. Putting together spells like this has a high margin for error (for example, enchanting something with bane of arthropods instead of sharpness). Novices in enchanting often slap words together randomly to see what works, and grindstone the unwanted results off, which can lead to some success, but more often produces mixed results (bane of arthropods) and uses a lot of magic.
The longer-lasting and more high quality the material you're enchanting, the better, as having an object enchanted is expensive. The material components take time and energy to procure by yourself, and hiring someone else to do it costs money, but is more efficient.
Learning to enchant well is time-consuming and requires a lot of talent in multiple areas of expertise to learn. This is why wizards who specialize in studying enchanting require multiple years of linguistics, history, archeology, and other studies to understand. Many enchantment wizards also specialize into the craftsmanship aspect of the trade because it makes them more hireable, and it's easier to make items they enchant themselves. So enchanting businesses often have multiple wizards in their employ, specializing into their own fields of craftsmanship.
There's a reason the stereotypical wizard is old and grey, and it's because it takes a long time to learn and master this stuff.
The other magic fields are more straightforward.
The brewing of potions is potioneering. Blaze powder (which becomes infused with the potion) has high levels of concentrated magic in it, and changes based on what's added to them. It's a lot more like chemistry but it does cool things like make you able to swim in lava or make you invisible. Though for a majority of wizards in this field, it's more focused on pharmacology and medicine, as potions are important for the day-to-day life of an average person.
Foolish, a god, already possesses the words needed to call down lightning without a trident, because it's part of his domain as a deity. Occultism is the study of god magic, and it's mostly about studying the abilities of the gods themselves than trying to replicate it, though there are some wizards who dedicate their lives to doing so. It's very opposed by certain gods who like their privacy, and of course, certain religious extremist groups who would prefer that people don't ask questions. However, in general, it's a widely respected academic field.
Alchemy studies the magic of life and souls. On the practical side, this mostly involves the creation of golems for protecting civilization as we know it from monsters, using the life magic in pumpkins to bring golems to life. But on the theoretical side, it studies the 3 life system, the nature of the soul, and how immortality might be achieved through the right words of power. Currently no known methods of true immortality are known, but the properties of gold are currently being researched.
