Ghost staring at the tight clothes Soap’s wearing which clearly doesn’t fit him: Where’d you find those?

Soap stares at him confused: These?

Ghost: Mhm

Soap: Oh! Well a rookie donated them to me…

Ghost: Uh, why would he donate stuff to you?

Soap: I’m currently on a clothing shortage…

Ghost mumbles and walks away: You’d look better on mine anyway…

Soap: I’m sorry?

———————————————————

(An hour later in a briefing)

(Price, Gaz and other rookies starring as Soap enters the room with a clearly oversized T-shirt that goes down to his knees or maybe a bit longer)

Price: Uh… Son?

Soap: Don’t bother

(Ghost stares with a huge grin as Soap burries his face of embarrassment and sits down two seats away from him)

Ghost: Told you mine were better

Soap mumbles: I’m gonna kill you

Después de un tiempo sin publicar nada les traigo un dibujito de Suguru x Satoru juntitos en el mas allá porque literalmente no he podido ser la misma desde que JJK me pegó semejante historia trágica con esos dos. Mi corazón duele, me quema, me lastima. Gege cuando te atrape Gege.

En fin, espero que les guste. Si me disculpan, me voy a llorar antes de que empiece mi reunión del trabajo.

The remastered version of my magnum opus (mostly just a sharpening run but the two gifs have been remade from scratch)

[lillybearrie]

Hello I would like to remind everyone that the first (technically second if you wanna get really technical but who cares) thing we heard from fable was

"Release Me,

You are free of Enderian, now focus on purpose"

Directed at Icarus

"Now focus on your purpose"????? WHAT HAPPENED TO "HI" "HELLO" "HOW ARE YOU MY SON"

BECAUSE NEWSFLASH SIR THAT'S NOT HOW YOU TALK TO YOUR FUCKING CHILD

THEY AREN'T A FUCKING ROBOT TO TAKE AND CARRY OUT YOUR ORDERS THAT'S YOUR GODDAMN KID!

PEOPLE TREATED SEVEN WITH MORE FAMIARITY AND RESPECT

no offense to seven great guy rip man BUT STILL

Anyway on to actual analysis

After reading this note, several deductions can be made about our antagonist's character right off the bat, which in season 3 we see to be accurate assumptions

First of all the sending of the note "release me" constantly at the beginning of every reset presumably for the past several ones gives us a base line of a few things A) whoever wrote it is trapped B) they really want out C) whomever was to recive the note presumably can help with this D) this person is either very angry and resorting to formal wording as a form of passive aggression or they are simply a very formal person Had this not been the case they would have written "let me out" or "get me out" or even "help me"

Now for the post-corruption portion

"You are free of Enderian"

1) this person knows Enderian 2) This person knows at least of Icarus 3) They intentionally have been sending these to Icarus 4) despite being trapped they have some way to know what is going on 5) their particular view of Enderian is not favorable it's not overtly antagonistic however this is the one part of the not that can be read as at least partially sympathetic to Icarus

Finally "Now focus on your purpose"

1) they don't see Icarus as anything but a means to an end 2) tone wise it feels like both the chastisement of a child and an order to an unthinking being 3) "your purpose" seemingly refers to the prior statement of "release me" either implying that the writer believes Icarus is only here to get them out of wherever they are or that Icarus's sole purpose in life is to aid and assist them and 4) the use of "now" after the previous statement implies they view the corruption arc as simply something that was inhibiting the progression of them being let out

First off once again SIR THAT IS YOUR CHILD YOU MOTHERFUCKER-

In conclusion deductions that can be made from this note with the knowledge that i now hold are as follows: Fable wanted out of purgatory, they issued Icarus with the fulfillment of this task and saw the corruption arc as merely a speed bump on the road of getting his ass outta there. Fable is a pretentious douchebag. Like everyone else in his life Fable is constantly using his own son as a means to achieving his end goal.

Other notes:

Had Fable's motivations not been his underlying obsession with keeping what he believes is "his" even when it disrupts and disregards the rules of the universe and the sanctity of life he likely wouldn't have given 2 shits about Icarus.

If we view Fable's interactions with others through the lense of him thinking of those of the overworld as "his" his people his creations his world then it starts to become clearer that he only sees individuals as tools and for their potential usefulness to him. And if we want to take this view even further we could even say that he at least on some level viewed Alerion giving a place for his deceased mortals to restate something akin to how a child views their sibling stealing a toy from their room, which then implies that the war of the gods is just a big temper tantrum where Fable hurt his brother then his other siblings stepped in and went "hey woah man not cool you can hit Al dude he is literally just playing the game" to which Fable's response was to hurt them as well and now he's just got out of timeout and basically started blaming his parents for everything wrong in his life which is so silly goofy of him until you remember that these were people he was upset about his brother "stealing" from him and it becomes less silly goofy.

"But Lilly!" I hear you say because you've totally read this far, mhm definitely "If he doesn't actually care about the dead people, then why does he act nice? Why is his charisma stat so high?" Well to that I say is it easier to keep someone in one spot when you make them believe this is where they wanna be or when they know the whole truth?

Okay, screw you, Rick Riordan. Having Apollo call Octavian "that creature" is just sick. He's not even 20! And here his ancestor is, talking about him like he's a feral cat with rabies. He's still…I don't actually know their relationship. Is it grandparent and grandchild? Ancestor and Descendant? I don't know. But they're related somehow. And calling someone you're related to names like "that horrible roman child" and "that creature"… it's disgusting. It reminds me of my maternal grandmother, who tried to tell my dad that he was the reason for everything bad happening to me and my mom. Apollo is just as sick as her in these scenes.

And to think, I used to really like Apollo. I may still forgive bim. But still, for the present moment, how can I like and forgive someone who calls a preteen a creature? I had some pretty cruel revenge fantasies on my bully in elementary school, but i'm not a centuries old god talking about my descendant. Because it'd be one thing if Octavian was an adult. But almost all the characters in these books are teens or preteens. Using that kind of dehumanizing language to refer to a kid…it makes me super uncomfortable. Super, super uncomfortable. Almost to the point where i'm beginning to wonder why i'm subjecting myself to all this.

If it makes me this angry, why do I keep reading it? I have at least 130 pages left in this book, and I know there's going to be more scenes that make me uncomfortable. Pretty much every chapter with Reyna and Nico makes my skin crawl now. So i'm beginning to get in my own head. Should I even bother keeping up with this book? I'll try for the rest of the week, but I don't know if I can do it after that. I don't know if i'm ready for octavian's death. Nor for the final insult on octavian: will solace apparently calling him an "anemic loser" (i haven't gotten to that part yet, and i really don't want to get there). So i feel unsure about my path here.

Listen i know what they built I know what they created for nandermo, and the fact that we didn't get a kiss in the main timeline can be overlooked by the Bond of nandermo and all the fucking clues about romantic involvement or at least attraction and in that I love the writing it feels natural it feels dumb like they are

But I cannot help but think the writers sort of shat all over the finale season when they could have made a queer masterpiece and now I feel like it's a way less worse klance situation all over again

It stings it hurts and the writers are fucking cowards, like what was that all for in the end what was it worth blablabla so funny haha YOU COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING MAGICAL YOU FUCKING CUNT UNTIL THE END YOU COULDVE

It's 2024 please don't be fucking bitches

Sincerely yours, a nandermo truther until the next life,

I Am Devastated,

Good night
