[carsthatnevermadeitetc]

Mad Mike’s FURSTY by TCP Magic, 2024. Presented at the Tokyo Auto Salon. Kiwi drifter Mike Whiddett began his career with this Mazda Savanna Wagon but sold it to fund his FD RX-7 drift car. Fast forward to October last year when Mike was able to buy the Mazda Wagon back and pass it onto TCP Magic. They have fitted a 26B 4-rotor NA engine with HGT sequential transmission and Winters Performance quick-change differential, there's also a Rocket Bunny Pandem wide-body kit and custom Rotiform wheels.

"Tell me that you hate me." "I hate you," I say, the words coming out like a caress. I say it again, over and over. A litany. An enchantment. A ward against what I really feel. "I hate you. I hate you. I hate you." He kisses me harder. "I hate you," I breathe into his mouth. "I hate you so much that sometimes I can't think of anything else." At that, he makes a harsh, low sound.

Shortly after he follows that up with

"I want to tell you so many lies"

like he can't tell her he hates her because he very much doesn't ugh my heart.

Cardan: *wearing a coat with a huge bulge at the front*

Jude: what’s under your coat?

Cardan’s coat: *meows*

Cardan: *sweating* drugs!

i dont understand how can someone read tcp and think jude is some skinny tiny little delicate girl instead of a massive thick strong muscle woman. like i know her back is twice cardan's back

[cruelprincae]

Even if Jude would be glaring daggers at her, I sincerely thought that Wren could talk things out with Cardan because the parallels between the two show us that they are each other's mirrors when it comes to the abuse they've suffered from their respective guardians, therefore he would have been more understanding of everything that makes wren tick. But even if Cardan is easier to talk to than Jude, he's still overprotective when it comes to the people he loves ( and his nephew nonetheless whom he has raised as his son ) so all hope of peaceful sorting flew out of the window when Wren bridled Oak and kept him a prisoner. Her whole attitude during the epilogue of the stolen heir is "i'm going to send a message to the High Court saying that I'm taking over the Ice Catedral and I'm keeping Oak for myself and perhaps I'll even take his throne" which is made particularly funny because Queen Orlagh underestimated Cardan too when she intended to invade Elfhame, giving the "what are you going to do ? You control the land, but here is he sea" and Cardan went "sike, but did you know what is beneath your sea ? l a n d" and boiled her alive before raising an entire island. He's going to have the same mentality with Wren because homegirl thinks that just because her ice Catedral is made of snow and ice, it isn't literally built on the land that obeys Cardan's every whim. granted, it'll be difficult because Wren has the power to destroy, but he will 100% bury her under the snow she calls a home. also, cardan doesn't like to be threatened so it's double the anger there.

i think most people forget the scene in tcp where jude is enchanted after being force fed the faerie everapple by valerian. cardan not only pushes him away but also smartly pricks her finger to draw blood which he knew she'd eventually suck and get her out the magic spell since blood has salts. AND HE DID ALL THIS SLICKLY WHILE THEY WERE SUPPOSED ENEMIES AND HATED EACHOTHER?

IF THAT ISN'T SMART IDK WHAT IS, SO MUCH FOR CALLING HIM STUPID

🏛️ - THE CREEPYPANTHEON.

"In the beginning, there was everything, and there was nothing. The Everything had eight arms that cradled the universe in its entirety, creation of everything that ever was and will be held in the flexed muscles of its tendrils.

But the Everything wasn't alone. Outside its static hymns of still creation, there lingered the Nothing. The two existed, circling and enveloping each other, until the Everything severed two of its arms. From these arms birthed light and dark, two brothers, children of Everything and Nothing, Gods who mankind would later name 'Liu and Jeff'."

The CreepyPantheon (TCP) is a Creepypasta AU reminiscent of Ancient Greece society and mythology. It takes place in a fictional country that is a mixture of the Classical era (Rome, Greece, etc), and some more modern features to create a unique universe that the characters exist in. It is fairly canon-divergent, but it stays true to canon in spirit.

There are 7 main deities as pictured above, Ben, Liu, Nina, Jeff, Jane, Jack, Clockwork, and there is also a cast of humans and other entities that will be introduced later on.

The story follows the human boy Toby and his accidental involvement in the divine, cults, magic, and the end of the world. More information about the AU will come out soon, including a website thats a work in progress.

Ask box is open for any questions or anything of the sorts regarding this AU. Fanart, headcanons, etc of TCP versions of the characters are allowed with credit. I hope yall enjoy as much as I do making this AU :]

The Prisoners Throne thoughts

Spoilers beneath cut! Heads up for a critical review but a positive Jurdan review 😂

Also did anyone catch the Roiben and Kaye mention? It was subtle but it was there..

I’m a little all over the place with my initial thoughts on the whole thing, but here are my main takeaways:

The pacing was weak, especially in the build up (or lack of build up) to Oak’s discovery of The Ghost being the main poisoner of his mother. In the span of two chapters, Oak goes from incandescent rage towards Ghost and his sisters/family, to then processing all of that because of the Ghost’s death?

My issue here is we never really saw Oak talking to his family despite his POV lamenting that they avoid uncomfortable topics. He’s right. They do. And so I would’ve liked for a genuine heart to heart.

On the topic of the Ghost’s death — what the fuck? Also incredibly weak. We didn’t spend enough time getting to know Garrett for that death to be impactful in any way (unless you are me and you’ve been crushing on the Ghost for years). The attitude around the entire thing was so blasé that I genuinely thought he was going to be brought back to life in a few pages.. I just don’t understand what Holly was trying to do here.

Overall this probably needed to be a trilogy so she could develop more of these ideas, because even the romance with Oak and Suren felt a little off kilter to me.

Otherwise, every Jurdan scene was incredible. Cardan, despite his few appearances, carried this whole book on his back for me. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE OAK. The tragedy of his upbringing, the way he was supposed to have a happy childhood but was turned into a monster by Madoc is so bittersweet.

I think the abdication of being heir was solved a little too easily? But it did leave the door open for some speculation about a Jurdan baby 👀

I was right about the political problem being about the Undersea and I’m really wondering if she’s going to write that from Jurdan POV or from Nicasia.. so that’s exciting!

I wish we had more *Elfhame* in this book. Where was the magic of TCP? I just felt something was lacking and I can’t put my finger on what.

Suren having a rebirth moment like Cardan only adds to my criticism that Oak/Suren has too many similarities to Jurdan that I wish had been avoided — BUT. I love the imagery of it and I’m happy our monster girl got the happy ending she deserves.

A lot of these Cardan moments had me going absolutely insane — him protecting Jude? Him playing with Leander? Oak pointing out that Cardan is brave and picked up a sword to fight in the end as well? Omg!!

How do I feel? Weird. I’m NGL, I feel kind of strange about this book. Perhaps I need to reread the duology or the entire series.

Some other odd things I noticed:

Lady Asha is still alive and kicking it at court? Lol.

Oak thought Taryn was the kind hearted sister who wanted a gentler world

The amount of dead deer imagery (the deer heart in the Citadel, the dead deer on Madoc’s clothes) that made Oak feel ill at ease was equal parts cute and sad LOL. My sweet hoof boy 🥹

The removal of Valerian’s curse and the confirmation that there was, in fact, a curse. What does this mean for Jude going forward?

To the stars who listen, and the dreams that are answered.

A fanart of Gruvia as faeries, mostly inspired by TCP.

I can’t move on from reading The Folk of the Air series, so I decided to Gray and Juvia as fae royalties. Also, this is dedicated to an online friend, @gruviasama , because she made me read ACOTAR and I got hooked in fae romances, and life has been so magical.

cardan x jude pt 1.

so i mentioned in a previous post (here) that cardan is seemingly obsessed with with mortals/mortality in itself or at the very least is fascinated with pretty much anything to do with humans and their world, literature, artifacts, etc. in that post, i mentioned that this could be cardan’s method of escapism considering he despises faerie, lacking virtually any interest in his role in the court or as the high king. but i think this appeal towards mortals could be what led cardan to take notice of jude and eventually fall desperately in love with her.

in tcp, cardan’s favorite book is alice in wonderland, a story where a regular human girl is thrown into this magical and dangerous world so very different from her own. it’s there that she relies on her wits and own strengths to survive. is this not what happened to jude and taryn? so it makes sense that this could be another reason cardan takes interest in jude. (see this post)

also in tcp, it’s mentioned that one of the first things cardan noticed about jude were her ears and their roundness, how different they were from cardan and his friends’. i highlight this specifically because what jude sees as a massive insecurity, cardan is intrigued by and even takes a liking to.

part of the reason i think jude is so alluring to cardan is that she has the one thing cardan can never know, mortality. see, in faerie, cardan can have anything he wants, and if it isn’t already given to him he takes it. this is not the the case with mortality. cardan can never have it no matter how hard he tries, so in a way couldn’t he be partly jealous of jude? in tcp, cardan views her as a weakling, dirt. he and his friends called them the circle of worms- and even that isn’t a low enough ranking in his eyes. however, it’s later revealed that cardan would free the mortal servants at hollow hall and would even take beatings for protecting them. so could cardan’s initial hatred for jude stem from the fact that she is born with something over him? maybe he begins to hate her (i mean before she starts to stand up to him) because she has something he might deep down long to become familiar with.

TPC FAN? (sameee) ANWYAS I WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE A TCP AU LOREDUMP!! /pos

BEHOLD THE GOSPEL AU (ignore that the name says Geo thats outdated (also do not ask why the au is called gospel (i was running out of names and gospel sounds cool)))

IN THIS AU CYAN DOES NOT KNOW LEVITATION MAGIC AND INSTEAD HAS HIS OWN UNIQUE MAGIC AND THE OTHER HEROES ALSO HAVE THEIR OWN MAGIC

ORANGE CAN SHAPESHIFT INTO ANIMALS

GOLD CAN CLOAK TO BE INVISIBLE OR DISGUISE AS OTHER CORRUPTS (LITERALLY SPY TF2 SDFSDFSD)

AND TSAVORITE CAN INSTANTLY HEAL HIMSELF AND OTHERS AROUND HIM

ALSO IN THIS AU HEROES HAVE TO BE MANUALLY TAUGHT HOW TO FLY AND USE THEIR LASER (or teach themselves)

FUN FACT GOLD TAUGHT HIMSELF HOW TO USE A LAZER AND HE ALSO TAUGHT HIMSELF HOW TO FLY BY THROWING HIMSELF OFF A CLIFF SO HE WOULD HAVE TO FLY TO SURVIVE SO HE USED BRUTE FORCE AND THEN USED THAT SAME BRUTE FORCE METHOD TO TEACH THE OTHER HEROES HOW TO USE THEIR POWERS🕺🕺🕺🕺

also even tho Cyan doesnt know how to fly (YET) he can use a laser HOWEVER he doesnt use it often and his preferred weapon of choice is a sword

iris is his mentor cus fellow sword wielder and Gold is his magic mentor for how to use magic n stuff

ALSO in this AU the heroes are much more competent and independent especially cyan

in this AU when Cube got knocked out from being yeeted a bajillion miles instead of just waiting around to lycan to inevitably find him he immediately sprung into action by using a literal VINE AND BROKEN LOG to drag Cube to the nearest village and get help for em both and thats how they end up meeting chipzel :] (in case u cant tell i really want cyan to be more a badass LMAODFSDFSDFS)
