#SPRING IN HIERON SPOILERS

[hydrogeologists]

yesterday I said to my loving boyfriend "I really want cunty tiktok edits of the hieron characters" and today I unfortunately made that world a reality

BIG SIH 33 SPOILERS. Audio description below

Art (as Hadrian): Do you think I'm--oh. Do you think I'm too stupid for food? I think that jabroni thinks I'm too stupid for food.

[intro to Yummy by Ayesha Erotica starts playing in the background]

Keith: Yo, fourteen. 

Ali: Wow. 

Sylvia: Holy shit. 

Dre: [laughing] Yo. 

Jack: Hadrian has arrived. 

Austin: Hadrian. I need you to describe what it looks like [music cuts out] when Hadrian kills the Advocate.

[Yummy returns in the background, at the lyrics 'I do it for the girls and the gays, that's it / the queens and the queers, yeah they're loving my shit']

[Ali quietly gasps.]

Hieron girlies when The Great Wizard Fantasmo casts invisible:

[humanmorph]

thats why i love friends at the table : )

yes!!! thats really good. love that. you cant look out but are still visible to everyone else. Especially since there's usually a good deal of shame coming with guilt. we have workshopped a very fun horror scenario here

i did look it up, thats really cool! I especially like the thing where you slam it into the ground which shakes it. stealing that

ik I said 'they could put me in that thing' about the divine guilt but it'd actually probably work better as something you have to carry around (think the righteousness briefcase). But it's more wieldy and kind of actively hindering

Round 1, Group 2

Propaganda (and spoilers?) under cut

Dr Brewer's Clone: Appearing in the book, Stay Out of the Basement. Dr. Brewer was a botanist doing experiments in his basement. He was using his own DNA to make plant-human hybrids. One day he made one that looked almost identical to him, which proceeded to lock him in the basement closet. The clone attempted to steal the original's life, but his children Margaret and Casey, began to realize something was wrong. They caught him eating plant food, and discovered, to their horror, he had a leaves for hair underneath the baseball cap he had started wearing. Most disgusting of all, upon sneaking into his room, they found he slept on a bed covered in worms.

The Spring: Okay so it's not so much of a species of plant as it is a type of plant. It was created by a trapped priest after his god (different god) was murdered, from the blood of the god on the god's anvil. It wants to grow fast. It wants to consume. It wants to exist and thrive and fight against the oncoming oppressive nothingness. And in the process if it pushes out other plants, other lifeforms, strangles people in their sleep, so what? They are of the old world. They were going to die anyways, now that the god that was the world is dead.

I will say, about PALISADE 01 (spoilers for both the episode & Spring in Hieron after the cut):

I'm currently relistening to Spring and am just past the defeat of the Advocate, so it's very funny to see the rhyme of a scary dragon that messes with communication (the Twitch chat went for word-eaters there instead of the Advocate's removal of sound, which is also understandable).

Anyway I'm on the downward slope of my Spring relisten but I'm definitely wondering if I should start a Divines Cycle relisten after that; I did relisten to PARTIZAN and catch up on the Road to, but I did so much pausing to look stuff up during the episode it wasn't even funny. OTOH, Twilight Mirage is my least favorite season, and there's new Bluff to listen to...

Samot from Friends at the Table, Spring in Heiron.

[evilmageclub]

hello i posted a new chapter of my postcanon samsam fic and am going to plug it here because i crave validation

Sure enough, Samot doesn’t need to ask around nor reach out through the Spring to seek his husband's presence. The cat trots ahead down the train ramp, through the thaw of the palace gardens, up to a first-floor balcony overlooking the town and the roiling yellow-grey sky. Wearing slippers and a thick robe tied loosely, Samothes is laying small bowls of fresh water and fish out for a small horde of cats who flow as a marbled, mewling tide around his feet. Some of the animals have families in the town, Samot has to imagine, but Samothes feeds them each morning regardless, drawn as they are to his warmth and his large, careful hands.

“Your cats still don’t like me,” Samot complains from the ivy-choked doorway, leaning heavy on his cane. Samothes doesn’t turn right away, but sets the final bowl down with a clink of ceramic on stone.

“They can smell the wolf on you,” he calls back. “They’re worried you’ll chase them out of town.”

The tortoiseshell Samot followed up to the castle slinks between Samothes’ legs to reach the bowls, tail curling downwards as it casts Samot a look of utter feline distrust. Samot resists the childish impulse to stick his tongue out at it.

“Well, tell them my chasing days are done.”

there are so many just wild things in Spring but Austin saying 'yeah i didn't say this before but i think this sword, i think it makes people hot. i think it gives off whatever lighting would make somebody look hot' and then the stunned silence from the table like. ok is. austin what do you mean the sword gives off hot lighting. why is this the thing we're doing.

[ID: A digital painting of Ephrim waist deep in plants in front of a purple background, a broken halo of light and flame around his head. He is a man with pale skin, dark eyes, and short, greying dark hair. He wears a white and gold shirt, long black gloves, gold rings and bracelets, and a red cape lined with white fur at the collar. He has his head tilted back, a shocked expression on his face, and one hand held up to his chin, leaves sprouting from his palm, his other hand hanging down into the foliage below. /end ID]

Round 2 Group 2

Propaganda and spoilers under cut

Vida:

SPOILERS FOR THE PROMISED NEVERLAND!! Vidar are pretty much vampire flowers, as their purpose is to drain the blood of humans to be prepared for um....meals. These flowers turn from white to bright red as the blood is continually drained. This flower being "stabbed" into the body and draining the blood actually serves as a ritual for the Demons - "if the flower blooms after killing its victim, the Gods have accepted the meal and only then can the Demons proceed on eating it."

The Spring:

Okay so it's not so much of a species of plant as it is a type of plant. It was created by a trapped priest after his god (different god) was murdered, from the blood of the god on the god's anvil. It wants to grow fast. It wants to consume. It wants to exist and thrive and fight against the oncoming oppressive nothingness. And in the process if it pushes out other plants, other lifeforms, strangles people in their sleep, so what? They are of the old world. They were going to die anyways, now that the god that was the world is dead.
