The Copollogism Essays - Part 1: The Tent Scene

SO. Here we are. I have absolutely ascended to insane over two fictional characters' relationship by this point, and this will merely cement that into place.

I do not know how often I will update this, but rest assured I have it all figured out! I'll update with links below for easy access to the other posts as I analyze our favorite dumpsterfire ship >:3

Believe me when I say I have Thoughts™️

These essays will detail the scenes Apollo & Commodus have shared, as well as a look into how it affected them and we'll also take a look into where it stands in the toxic relationship territory (The answer may surprise you. Or not. I am not quite sure myself at this point in time LMAO).

Additionally, I will be giving my own thoughts on a few things I've noticed within the series. I will refrain from talking about my own personal headcanons and focus on what we're given in the books, as well as any and all historical facts from Commodus's life that relate to their lives/relationship.

From The Book: Part 1 (The Tent) ~ Part 2 (The Assassination) ~ Part 3 (Lester's Reaction) ~ Part 4 (Leo's Questions/Seeing Commodus Again) ~ Part 5 (The Arena) ~ Part 6 (The Waystation) ~ Part 7 (The Yacht) ~ Part 8 (The Final Moment)

Analysis: Part 1 (Apollo and Commodus as Individuals) ~ Part 2 (Toxic Relationship?) ~ Part 3 (Codependent - Or Is It?) ~ Part 4 (Other Thoughts)

Let us kick off with the infamous: Tent Scene.

The Tent Scene

All quotations from The Dark Prophecy

Let's break it down.

I could certainly sympathize with his feelings. Marcus Aurelius was the sternest, most powerful father in the world aside from my own father, Zeus. Both loved to lecture. Both loved to remind their offspring how lucky they were, how privileged, how far short they fell of their fathers’ expectations. And of course, both had gorgeous, talented, tragically underappreciated sons.

How their fathers treat them is certainly a focal point of their relationship, with Apollo knowing enough about Commodus's feelings on Marcus Aurelius to be willing to compare it to his own relationship with Zeus (which is...honestly worse than Commodus & Marcus's).

“My father made me his junior co-emperor when I was fifteen, Apollo. It’s stifling. All duty, all the time. Then he married me off to that horrid girl Bruttia Crispina. Who names their child Bruttia?”

We're told that Commodus has been co-emperor since he was 15 - certainly a young age by modern standards, but rather par for the course in Roman times. However, that does not mean the pressure of being co-emperor wouldn't be a lot on 15-18 year old Commodus.

He is a teenager, after all. And he is a teenager that is rather abhorred to responsibility.

I didn’t mean to laugh at the expense of his distant wife…but part of me was pleased when he talked badly about her. I wanted all his attention for myself.

Oh, Apollo sweetie...you have issues too XD

Wanting to keep your lover's attention to yourself? Yeah, sorry Apollo, but that's not a good sign. This just goes to show that they are both toxic influences, and they brought out the worst in each other.

“I’ll make peace with the barbarians,” he said immediately. “Then we’ll go home and celebrate with games. The best games, all the time. I’ll gather the most exotic animals in the world. I’ll fight them personally in the Colosseum—tigers, elephants, ostriches.” I laughed at that. “Ostriches? Have you ever even seen an ostrich?” “Oh, yes.” He got a wistful look in his eyes. “Amazing creatures. If you trained them to fight, perhaps designed some sort of armor for them, they would be incredible.” “You’re a handsome idiot.” I threw another grape, which bounced off his forehead. A brief flash of anger washed over his face.

Leaving this here for future reference but we WILL be coming back to it!!!! In a future post!!!!

I knew my sweet Commodus could have an ugly temper. He was a little too fond of slaughter. But what did I care? I was a god. I could speak to him in ways no one else dared.

Apollo is the ONE PERSON who is able to challenge Commodus. And from the previous passage, we can infer Commodus is not used to it, even though he is well aware Apollo is the one with all the power in this relationship - although, he sure does like forgetting about that detail a lot lmao

Commodus looked at me, panic in his eyes. “Go,” I said, as calmly as I could, forcing down my misgivings. “You will always have my blessings. You will do fine.”

A sweet thing I find in this section is; 1) Commodus looks to Apollo for comfort, for some sort of it will be fine; and 2) that Apollo is encouraging despite his misgivings. Apollo is aware what kind of leader Commodus could be. He knows there is a high chance of his lover becoming a worse version of himself.

In fact, he even admits it;

But I already suspected what would happen: the young man I knew and loved was about to be consumed by the emperor he would become.

But he tries to go the you have my support, you have my love route. Romantic, but ultimately, it's not enough to keep Commodus from the path he goes down.

into the mouth of the wolf, Apollo says. Because this is the last time he truly sees the man he loved.

The next time they meet? It will be a crazed, paranoid tyrant he has to end - and in doing so, breaks the promise he once made.

He rose and kissed me one last time. His breath smelled of grapes. Then he left the tent—walking, as the Romans would say, into the mouth of the wolf.

This whole, entire scene? It's drenched in a tragic aura. It starts out light and teasing, but it ends with this.

This is their final kiss. This is the final time they get to see each other without the barrier of betrayal between them.

And that, is truly heartbreaking.

Silver Lining - What If #8 : Min & Kook or Busan Brothers?

Neuron by J-Hope (with Gaeko & YOON MIRAE) focused playlist.

[Music is a very big part of my life and I’m MOSTLY INCAPABLE of writing without music, so I just thought I'd share what I am listening to while writing this]

🐺 — 🐺 — 🐺—

Ladies, Gentlemen and Distinguished Enbies: HELLO!

How is everyone? Hope you are all enjoying this little break, if you celebrate Easter, and if for any reason you didn’t get a break either you don’t celebrate Easter, or you are part of the “holiday working class” I hope you are at least safe and serene 💜. All that said, let me tell you;

It’s incredible what a few days off can do, aye?!

For one I've been very vivid dreams and, for two, I’m actually in the mood of writing posts, would you look at that! AND BY THE WAY I keep forgetting to do this, but I will at some point later today I need to write an advisory note for the Sonyeondan Colosseum as I haven’t been there in a while but I still get aspiring gladiators, who are dying to participate, and albeit fun, at the moment, I really don't have that much time, to provide these fighters with the appropriate match they deserve 😫. So it is only right that I rely the appropriate information, as I do believe I run a fine institution and as such I am sorry for allowing my administration to slack real life suddenly got so busy and interesting that I didn’t, and still don't, have time to play, but who knows what the future holds right?! There just might appear a contender so unique, I might not resist the urge for a little tussle.

Anyways, back to the topic of this post, as it is sort of a continuation of this one → Solstice & Equinox, it is indeed about the Jikook Travel vlog we still no absolutely nothing about, but of which I woke up with thoughts/ideas about, hence, why I’ve placed this post, yet again, in my Silver Lining series 🤡. In my previous post I tried to predict the vlogs' scheduling, in this post I would like to talk about the possible style this vlog might take, while making, as always, educated guesses and also diving into JK’s filmmaking style.

⚠️I MOST LIKELY WILL WAX HELLA POETIC OVER A LOT OF FILMMAKING STRUCTURES, SO BE HELLA WARNED⚠️

Let’s start right off the bat with:

Also if you are NOT familiar with “Youtuber” Jimin, below is a little summary:

As you can probably tell by some of the ss because there are so many more, believe me!, JM is very enthusiastic about vlogging and, as we all know, JK is very enthusiastic about producing video related content as well as taking it further when he directed Life Goes On for example. Both JM and JK consume copious amounts of video content, be it movies, dramas, anime or shows and they often seem to be watching the same shows as well. Reason why, perhaps, they often seem to be the only privy of their media related inside jokes.

Now, imagine loving to watch shows so much and having as a significant other someone whom not only has so much footage/pictures of you which will never see btw 🤡 but also has the skills to potentially make a show out of you, or with you, because they also enjoy the same thing, what would you do? Sure, you like travelling and he is not too big into that, but some time 7 years ago this person not only took you on a trip, but also found the most memorable way to immortalise this for you, resulting in this person producing more and more travel vlogs. Not sure if JK has come to enjoy travelling, but one thing is for sure; 

he seems to enjoy making one helluva good vlog out of it.

Now, before we get into the reason for my title (Min & Kook or Busan Brother?) let’s look into JK’s filmmaking style THIS IS WHERE I AM SURE I WILL NERD OUT, and in order to do this we will look into two of particular videos, as I feel like their travel vlog could be a mixture of this two: 

VIDEO 1: [BTS VLOG] Jung Kook l CAMPING VLOG

VIDEO 2: G.C.F in Budapest

Let’s start from VIDEO 1. This was a series of vlogs we got from each of the members and were posted on BANGTANTV between July 9, 2022 and December 10, 2022 as always with the Tannies, the actual filming dates may or may not be close to the time they were posted. There are many different types of vlogs out there, because many are the different interests of viewers out there. When looking at our boys, you can clearly see theri vlogs divided in 3 specific types of vlogs:

“HOW TO”-vlog: In this type of video, usually the hosts want to learn to do something, and so they either attempt or they are a master in said craft to do said something, while showing the viewer step-by-step, with the intent/hope that the viewer can learn or feel inspired to want to do it as well.

Jin

Yoongi

JM

“CELEBRITY LIFE”-vlog: This type of video, we follow a typical/particular day in the life of a celebrity. There is usually not so much editing done, and it gives very much the feeling of watching a reality TV show.

Tae

Hobi

“TRAVEL”-vlog: These are usually specifically about showcasing cities, spaces, activities. They are very action filled, so they will not have as many static shots as, for example, the previous two themes 

Joonie

JK

Even though JK and Joonie have the same style of vlog, there is something that JK has, which all the other 6 don’t, which is his own “colour”.

JK has a very specific style that is unique to himself within the group, and you can notice in the editing, which makes me think he often takes part in, whereas, even though the type of vlog is different for the other 6 members, the style of editing is the same for all of them. When I say that JK adds his own colour, I mean that, for example, he so often breaks the 4th wall in very conventional and unconventional ways and this is something I've noticed only he does actually in Bangtan. 

Aside from JK’s Film Colour, I do believe that this is also an indication of how long we can hope their travel vlog to be. In the end the main event was camping, with other events as well and it was edited to 45mins, which is a long ass video for this type of vlog, it basically means that they realistically had hours of footage and at least 3 type of campers, which I will get into in my next point.

GCF in Budapest has all of JK’s colours as of 2023. 

This video is the result of 6 years during which he filmed, edited and directed different projects. GCF in Budapest is very professional, and even though he didn’t do the final edit on this, he did direct it, meaning that there wasn’t a single shot that he hadn’t planned, requested or approved of. Basically, JK is the person that instructed other camera-people the times he wasn’t filming himself as to what shot he needed and wanted for the final project, all the way from principal, to secondary, footage I DON’T THINK YOU CAN’T BUT I’M ABOUT TO NERD OUT, RIGHT NOW. Following are the notable structures in this GCF, with related explanations/examples:

Non-static self-filming - This is the typical vlog style where the main subject is filming himself. But in his case he seems to favour this type of shots when he is moving the most, as if he wants us to fill like we are really travelling with him, as opposed to constantly placing the camera on the surface, not moving, and talking. 

B-Roll Footage - is also known as “filler footage”. Usually there is no talking or nothing of importance, but they are quite good for either transitions or comic relief. I LOVE B-ROLL FOOTAGE and JK uses it so well. I believe that b-rolls fit JK so well because of his personality, he tends to space out so often that, in the filmmaking context, this type of footage offers a way to show this dimension of his personality, for example, himself goofing off in the b-roll is perhaps what he does in his head when he is spacing out in real life. 

Traditional filming - This is your typical main subject being filmed by a camera-person. As there seem to be two different angles during this type of shot, there were at least 2 different people filming him I will not go deep into the type of camera/s that were you as this is not that kind of post. 

Establishing shots - This are shots that make the viewer know where and when something is happening, and they are extremely important in film-making, but not really in vlogging as the title of the vlog already tells you where and sometimes when, if not you’ll find out in the dialog you are, but it is exactly this kind of touch that makes his work feel very cinematographic.

All the aforementioned, are characteristics that I am expecting to see in their travel blog and I am soooooo much looking forward to check our the whole crew, if by any chance we get a roll end credit scene 🥹 to be honest, going back to video 1, since they were in each known location for more than a day, they could make at least 2 self-sufficient vlogs but hey ….

JK surely came a long way from GCF in Tokyo, didn’t he? And even though he hasn’t produced a GCF with the same colours ever since, there was something that was:

To me, filming is the art of skilfully deceiving, while  willfully being deceived, during a specific amount of time, after which we all go back to our realities unharmed or “not”, depending on the depth of the film.

Films are like magic.

But what is filming for JK? To be veeeeery honest with you, the person who has a future in acting amongst the Tannies is Kim Taehyung, yet, the two people who can for sure act, on the silver-screen, are Kim Seokjin and Kim Taehyung … so why do I feel like Tae is the only only that has a future in this field? Because Tae can live for and with it. Just knowing how to act is not enough, you have to want to be an actor, for real-real. You know how Hobi breathes dancing? Tae breathes out imaginary characters in a similar way, reason why I can see him having a very prolific career as an actor as well.

Now ... why do I bring this up?

If JK just wanted to become a movie director alongside being the amazing musician he is, he’s had the perfect subject/s to do so. So why has he been so fixated with filming JM? JM is not the type of subject you can use for a long film, sure, he likes to act with his friends, but I don't think that cinema glory is one of his objectives in life I may be very wrong. He can perform/dance like hell crazy for the camera, HANDS FUCKING DOWN, but, once again, serious silver-screen acting isn’t what he wants. So, once again, given a choice of Tae and Jin;

Why JM?

TIME FOR TIN HATS Y’ALL HURRY 👏🏾 HURRY👏🏾 HURRY! 📢

I, Marengo, think that JK had always intended to make GCF in Tokyo as merely a video to preserve the happy memories, during a hard moment in their lives, which they spent together. This video-gift was specifically intended, for JM, in the style that JM mostly appreciated at the time, which might have happened to be YT vlogs. While editing his video, JK perhaps realised that it might have been a bit on the nose, so he added establishing b-roll shots of Tokyo, thinking it might have been enough to divert the attention from JM; but unfortunately failed. For a few reasons, but mainly, the lack of any spoken words in my opinion. 

The thing is that for the purposes of what i think his objective was, words were absolutely not needed. “Look! See how happy you were here! It doesn’t matter how shit things are, we can still be happy; You can still be happy!” In the same way, with Life Goes On he wanted us to see their changed everyday life of the time, the sadness, melancholy and hope they all felt. Words were not needed, and this is the type of filming which is closest to the inner colours of Jeon Jungkook. JK is not the best with words, so I believe that he found in filmmaking a form of expressing himself in a more effective way.

HOWEVER, as we all know, even though Life Goes On was well received, GCF in Tokyo’s main critique was “Where is tokyo? All I see is JM”. Yet, his main purpose wasn’t Tokyo, the shots, the song, the editing, clearly indicated that. Nevertheless, if at the time, JM was indeed his queer interest as I don’t believe they were going steady at the time, he wasn’t going to jump out gun blazing to defend his choice; was he now? No, he left us to believe that he was gonna get better, and next thing he did was add more members and better establishing shots, but never forget; gcf in Tokyo is still there and still something he remembers fondly. 

Now as for the title of this post  😂😂😂. Be it straight, queer, interrational or whatever, there is one thing that most of couple YT channels have in common:

Their channel name is either a union of their name or there is and &/and to join siad names. When JM was pretending to have a channel with JK during this live → VMINKOOK LIVE he named their channel MinKook, because he was Min and he was Kook so, MinKook and let’s forget for a second that this actually resulted to be a very funny korean pun. I honestly do believe that if you are a platonic duo on YT you will very rarely use your name with your friends name as it seems like it is a universal YT truth that “” & “” channels are couple channels. So if anything, if JM was talking out of subconscious, he maybe had been watching a lot of YT couple channels, at the time, and thought it okay for them to have a channel name that matched the same energy? … 

🤡🤡🤡

So my question is: will the channel be named something akin to that couple vibe RISKY AF, WHY WOULD THEY DO THAT?? Or will it be something more like the Busan Brothers name that they are often given … HELLA SAFE, MAKES A LOT OF SENSE? I guess only time will tell! 

Ok then, hats off! Let's go back to reality, where we can happily keep waiting for this blasted travel vlog LOL.

Always respectfully yours 💜🫰🏾,

Marengo.

PUBLIC VS PRIVATE KNOWLEDGE

Public (Known by most, if not all)

Alistair is the newest Champion in the league, albeit without formal recognition, and is the only one to specialise in double battles

He is publicly known to reside within Realgam Tower, what was once set to be the most modern battle facility, now Orre's league headquarters.

Alistair moonlights as a musician, one that produces Power Metal music, a nice genre, but one he's cornered rather well with heavier covers of music originally produced by Roxie.

He's known to OPENLY carry a personal firearm, and a big one at that. Alistair carries a large, .50 caliber handcannon on his hip at all times (big iron on his hip goes brrrr)

He's known to have practically have adopted every kid in his home-town of Pyrite, often having them taken to Realgam in order to play baseball within the absolutely gargantuan space that is the tower's colosseum, in order to keep them off the streets and thus, out of trouble.

Alistair openly took part in the fight against Neo Team Plasma while he was in Unova.

SEMI PUBLIC (Known to most Orreans, or just those who are aware enough)

Alistair, startlingly so in fact, fits the description of a prolific murderer and assassin that was active during the years Team Snagem was at it's height, but not enough so to be outright accused of being said killer. (I mean he WAS but still-)

Alistair's nickname "Sandrunner" is actually the name of his bike, alas, the locals still call him it out of it being more recognisable than referring to him by name to outsiders

Most, if not all, maps of the numerous desert ghost towns in Orre can be traced back to Alistair, who has taken the lead in trying to locate and mark them for future investigation. He may be no historian, but the past is of importance, even to him

He's, to a degree, become the law itself in Orre, with the incompetence of the police in Pyrite, Alistair is known to handle matters of crime and punishment himself, though, for the most part, is extremely hands-off in matters beyond people committing anything but the worst crimes.

Lots of former members of Team Snagem make up his league staff, they remember who their old lieutenant was and gravitated right back, even if they aren't breaking the law now.

He was known very well to be one of Team Snagem's Admins, albeit, one that wasn't seen amongst the others very often.

NOT PUBLIC (known by people he's told and maybe people involved.)

Alistair WAS IN FACT the killer he fits the description of, serving as Team Snagem's own remover of problems, Orre's own Jack the Ripper, "The Desert Mincer" as he was quite taken with dismemberment.

Any scene that had a bag of stardust left tied to the victim's ankle was in fact his work.

He has two sisters, though neither continue to openly use the surname Hagen, as both disowned their brother after he abandoned them to save himself when he fled Team Snagem.

While looking for ghost towns, Alistair is also often scouring the desert for abandoned Cipher facilities

Even though Cipher and Snagem as a whole are mostly gone, Alistair is still fighting his own, private, battle against the remnants of both organisations that he previously worked in service of and as part of respectively.

[arikuraaa]

I feel like its SUPER important i document my funny tears of the kingdom experiences for future reference (cause my memory is absolute garbage and idk.. someone might find them entertaining.)

Its also fun to keep in mind that the only Zelda games I’ve played are Breath of the Wild and about half of Skyward Sword (trust me, I think this makes most of these funnier.)

I might update this as i have new encounters so it might get more spoilery as time goes on. But like.. its almost two months old and I just got it(expensive rip) so maybe spoiler warnings will be obsolete by then.

so SPOILERS AHEAD. Mostly minor spoilers since i’ve made next to no story progress in the game due to infinite distractibility and my inability to plan anything out ever (theres a reason i have 500 hours in botw.)

me, playing through the game trying to solve the mystery of getting to a high place: “ mmmm maybe i can climb it or rev(remembers I don’t have champion abilities) …ah”

*SPENDS TEN MINUTES WANDERING THE PERIMETER BEFORE COMING BACK AND REALIZING THERES AN OVERHANG* ”fucking hell, i was supposed to use the new ability the game literally taught me to use like three minutes ago.”

*going through a forest minding my own damn business, sees a tree fucking get up* ”WHAT THE SHIT- TREE MIMIC?”

Trying to get to Kakariko:” okay, i gotta find a path that doesn’t have a sinkhole or rot.”

*thinks again, but slower*

“did I just call the malice pool rot?”(the rw brainrot is real)

*sees a pool of malice moving around* ”what. Is. That.”

*it has hands, arms and eyes and it staring at me*

@sealcdheart has sent: There were sitting by the river, a small stream that ran past his out just outside of Agate Village. The river was nice, he knows that Umbreon and Espeon like to play in the water. Brendan had been–hovering lately, not that he could blame him. He seemed to want to be close, as if Cole would vanish again if he went back to Hoenn. He feels a little guilty, since he knew that the other had obligations to do as the Champion of the Elite Four for Hoenn. He didn’t have the same obligations as the Leader of Mt. Battle Colosseum, but he knows by how often the other’s phone goes off, he shouldn’t be here as much as he was.

   Being taken care of was a new thing for him, something that still took some getting used to. He wants to offer to go to Hoenn with him, something he hasn’t really done before. To support him in what he wants and likes to do. Orre was a place that was–difficult yet easy for him to leave. He felt he had obligations to clean up his father and Team Snagem’s mess, but realistically it was the duty of the police. 

   He sits back a bit and gives a sigh, raising his gaze toward the sky and watching the clouds roll around. He wonders if Brendan’s thought about the future, how they were going to make this work. If he wanted to move in and quit the Elite Four, or if he wanted to ask Cole to move to Hoenn with him. Was he thinking to much himself? He knows he has a bad habit of doing that. But he’s never asked Brendan how he sees his future. 

   Looking over toward the other he watched him a few minutes, watched the way the light seemed to reflect in his eyes and the gentle smile on his face. Eevee and Togepi were playing together in the water, Brendan took a picture of it, he loves them a lot. He has such a big heart. When the other’s gaze meets his Cole holds it. “You know I don’t have anything left to hide from you, right?” 

   His past, his future, his life was laid out and open for the other. 

   “But I can see,” he adds softly, looking back over toward the other. “How strong I’m going to have to be, to try and do what comes so naturally to you.” Love, emotions, words. Togepi was knocked over and started crying, kicking their little legs and throwing a fit. “And all I want is a chance to prove that–” he pressed his lips together. “That I care about you too.” 

   Eevee sat down beside Togepi and attempted to calm them. 

   Cole looked away to let his gaze meet Brendan’s once more. “That I loveyou too.” 

Flash!

Brendan has learned to cherish and hold dear, onto almost every little opportunity he gets to have with Cole of utmost peace. As such, he was trying really hard to not think too much, he rid his mind of what was to come as well as what they went through. So he could exclusively, focus in that moment.

Even though, it would probably be for the best if they tried to tackle, some more pressing matters for the good of their relationship. But he would keep repeating himself.

Maybe another time. Not now.

No different at all, from the camera in his hands that he was using to get the best moments, of these two playful pokemon together. In a scenery that reminded him a lot more of Hoenn, than Orre. Green and foliage were abudant, and the sound of the river was awfully soothing.

He was quiet, just like the other, and would remain like that as he was being spoken to. His words grabbed ahold of his attention, forcing him to look at him and pay extra attention to what was being said. The cries of the pokemon, sounded distant all of the sudden.

The look on his face wasn't a judgemental one. Rather, He maintained the sweet and comforting eyes, fixated onto the other's. And by the end of it all, he didn't even notice his face cheeks became flustered up.

Brendan immediately started thinking of what he could say to the other, the camera was set aside, and he moved closer to his partner closing the distance between them. One arm tangled up around the other, he held onto him firmly. All while looking deep into his eyes.

"You're not alone, Cole." He started in a soothing tone of voice, it seemed like he was looking at him in the same way, when all of this started between them years ago. "We're together, it's me and you, Cole. You know this." Brendan reassured him, his hand found its way to the other's and gave it a light squeeze. Before he leaned forward slightly, and laid a peck on his lips.

"You have proven me that, time and time again. I know it's not easy but, I'm confident we can make this work, together." By the end of the sentence, he rested his head over the other's shoulder, and breathed in deeply.

"We'll figure things out, Cole. You've got my back, and I got yours covered."

"Don't forget that."

“That Time We Got Stuck in a Cave”

Pairings: Aged Up! Astronaut Bakugou x Aged up! Fem! Astronaut Reader Pronouns: she/her Warnings: slight violence (a small crash happens but it is mentioned briefly), minor injury referenced (but not in detail), cursing

Three Things Before You Start Reading:

There’s no adult/suggestive content in this post, I aged them up because it seemed kinda weird to have 15/16 year old children traveling alone throughout space. I made them early 20s in this.

Also, the reader is half alien and half human, so basically (y/n) looks human with sharp teeth and white eyes (it’s part of the quirk basically).

Thanks to Marie (@dailydoseofscenarios) for creating this event and involving me! Can’t wait for the next one <3

If you are interested in seeing more work from this event, you can click here.

The girl huffed, tossing the wrench on the floor beside her before standing up and wiping her dirty hands onto her dark blue and white coveralls, the sleeves tied around her waist and a white tank top tucked into the pants. “Stupid fucking pod.” She grumbled, kicking the giant hunk of shining metal with the toe of her industrial boot.

“Try not to damage it more, (y/n).” Kaminari teased with a laugh, holding out his hand with a bag of candy in it. The girl nodded in thanks before taking some of the candy in her freshly cleaned hand. “What’s the issue? The circuit board still acting up?” The electric blonde took a seat near the tools the girl had laying around, looking at the pod and the exposed circuit board on of the machine. 

“I don’t get why it’s not working?! The updates on the others weren’t this fucking hard!” The girl threw her hands up exasperatedly, glaring at the inanimate object.

“Did you try your lazers? It’s just for the inside panel right? Or is it the doors again?” Kirishima appeared, his red eyes looking over the mess from where he stood in the doorway to the vehicle bay.

“I forgot about that! Kiri, you’re a genius!” (y/n) smiled widely revealing her sharp teeth, throwing a set of protective eye goggles at Kirishima and Kaminari, the blonde slipping his on before going back to eating his candy.

Kirishima walked over to where the blonde sat, outstretching his hand as Denki poured some of the candy into his hand before they both watched the girl slip a pair of heat resistant gloves onto her hands as she looked at the broken door, her white eyes glowing as a matching white laser shot from her eyes, hitting the door.

“Is it working?” Kirishima called out as the girl paused her lasers, going closer to the door to see if it was working they way she wanted it to. 

“Yeah, I think so!” (Y/n) called back. “Kiri can you come help me hold this up?” Kirishima nodded, getting up and lifting the heavy door to its correct position. He held it there for a moment as the hot metal cooled, the hinges no longer glowing orange as he released his hold on it. “Thanks Kiri! That’s perfect.”

“No problem.” The redhead smiled, pushing up the sleeves of his dark navy coveralls.

“Come on electric boy, you’re up.” (Y/n) waved over Denki as he begrudgingly sat his candy bag down, walking over to the pod’s newly placed circuit board. 

“Don’t touch my candy Kirishima!” Denki narrowed his eyes at the boy, who paused, eyes wide at being caught eating from the bag. Denki pointed his pointer finger at the circuit board, a small bolt of electricity hitting the board as the pod whirled to life. 

“Did it work? Is it fixed?” The boys asked, looking curiously at the girl who stood with a small proud smile on her face.

“I’ll have to take it out for a test run, but it should be fine now.” She answered with a definitive nod. “Can you tell Ka-Bakugou that I’ll be taking it for a test flight?”

“First name basis huh?” Kaminari elbowed the girl, his eyebrows wiggling up and down as the smirk grew on his face.

“Fuck off and go tell him!” The average height girl laughed, ruffling Denki’s hair before pushing him towards the door.

“Ok...Captain Fucker.” Kirishima teased before the boys ran down the hall laughing loudly as the girl rolled her eyes pointing her middle fingers in the direction they ran off in. 

“Alright, let’s see how this thing runs.” (y/n) mumbles to herself as she gears up, placing the airtight helmet on her head before clicking it into place as she stepped into the airlock. “Alright Sero, you can open Gate 3D.” She said into the comm system, as she turned the pod on and warmed up the engine.

“Copy that.” Sero responded, clicking the button from his control panel as the large door opened into the vast blackness that was open space. “So, I heard...you and the Captain, huh?” Sero asked after a moment of silence as the girl rolled her eyes with a groan.

“I’m gonna kill those two.” The girl laughed as she pressed a few button on the control panel of the pod, glancing over the readings on the screen all of them lighting up green. “Alright Sero, I’m disconnecting the tether now.”

“Copy that. Tether disconnected. What are your readings?”

“Everything’s at 100% and fully operational.” (y/n) replies with a smile, proud of her handiwork. A moment passed before the readings began flashing red, before the pod went dark the control panel no longer lighting up as the girl could only watch as the ship drifted from the main ship and towards the large purple planet nearby, the small pod getting brought down by the planet’s gravitational pull.

“Sero?” (y/n) called into the comms, but got no response. “Sero can you hear me?” The girl switched the channels, stopping on the personal channel she had with their captain.

“Shit!” (y/n) yelled as the pod spun, dropping to the surface before skidding to a stop, the girl’s head hitting against the side of the chair making a small crack in her helmet. “Fuck.” She mumbled to herself after sitting still for a moment, gathering her bearings before she had to exit the pod to survey the damage. 

“Can...hear?” Her comms began cutting out, but she had gotten a response and that was all that mattered. 

“Bakugou?!” (y/n) called into the comms again, releasing the button to see if she was going to get another response. The silence was deafening as her hope began to dwindle. She was stuck on a deserted exo-planet without a working comm system or a working craft, not to mention whatever else lived on the planet. “Fuck!” (y/n) got out of the beaten up pod, her white eyes growing teary as she saw the level of damage. “There’s no way it’s flyable and I don’t think I have enough tools to repair it.”

(y/n) looked to the lavender sky, a group of dark purple clouds gathering as aa lightening bolt crackled from the clouds. A shining black craft caught her attention as it landed on the other side of a valley, the girl standing on a small hill to see the door open and the black and orange suit that belonged to Bakugou Katsuki.

“Katsuki? Can you hear me? Is this goddamn piece of shit comm working?” (y/n) said angrily as she watched his small figure across the ravine. 

“I can hear you Shitty Girl.” Bakugou said with a small laugh. “Are you hurt?”

“No just the piece of shit pod. I wrote 10 fucking complaints to the UAIGSS and Commander Nezu and I haven’t gotten one response! NOT ONE! I knew those things were defective!”

“You can rant later, Shitty Girl. We’ve gotta find somewhere to wait out this storm. I don’t like the look of those clouds.” Bakugou cut the girl off, warily looking towards the horizon before grabbing two large packs from the pod before looking for a way to get to her.

“Alright. I can see a covered landing over there. It might even be a cave.” (y/n) said pointing in the other direction as her eyes glanced over the barren and deserted landscape. A thin layer of fog covered the ground in the horizon, making it hard to see the terrain. 

A group of fire destroyed trees sat in the barren and cracked lavender soil, sharp rock structures sticking up in strange ways around them. The sound of thunder caught the pair’s attention as Bakugou handed the girl the large pack she had failed to take when she had originally went out. 

“Thanks.” (y/n) smiled. “Let’s go, I guess.” She let out a sigh as they decided on a way to get to the cave (y/n) had spotted earlier.

“The atmosphere of this stupid planet is negatively charged so it blew out your engine...mine’s shot too. I told Mina and Kirishima to wait until it passes to land the ship.”

“Wouldn’t the ship be fucked then?” (y/n) wondered, the pair sitting down in the cave opening as the clouds blocked out the sun and loud claps of thunder echoed. Rain poured from the sky in sheets as the wind picked up slightly, the burned and hollow trees shaking in the wind like paper.

“No. I had Hatsume upgrade the engines so they should be fine.” Bakugou shrugged. “How’s your oxygen filter?”

“It’s fine. You?”

“Good.” He mumbled back. A moment of silence passed before he let out a breath, leaning back against the rock wall of the cave. “You don’t think there’s any crazy animals around here, right?”

“Not sure. My ship wasn’t able to do a full scan of the planet before it was fried.” (y/n) mumbled.

“I didn’t run a scan, I was distracted.” Bakugou rolled his eyes, upset with himself.

“Distracted?” (y/n) repeated. “Was it because you were thinking about little old me?” (y/n) teased as the explosive blonde’s cheeks flushed lightly, a scoff leaving his lips.

“Shut up.” He responded defensively, though that was enough of an answer to tell the girl she was right.

“Kiri, Kami, and Sero found out...it’s only a matter of time before Mina does too...” (y/n) laughed lightly, her eyes looking out at the rain, a soft smile on her face.

“So basically, a short amount of time before the whole UAIGSS knows?” Bakugou scoffed as he put his arm around the girl a laugh bubbling from his lips before he let out a sigh.

“You don’t think we’ll get in trouble do you? It’s technically a breach of the rules for members to be engaged in a romantic relationship.”

“Fuck that...people do it all the time.” Bakugou thought for a minute. “Todoroki and Shitty Deku...”

“Are gonna keep calling him that? Didn’t you start that in flight school?” She cut him off a gleam in her eyes as she looked over his face.

“Even before that.” He admitted sheepishly. “Anyways, Commander Aizawa and Commander Yamada...” Bakugou rattled off as the girl’s eyes widened.

“Present Mic and Aizawa?! They finally got together?” 

“Present Mic?”

“Yeah, that’s what they call him.” The girl shrugged. “How’d you hear about all of this stuff anyway?”

“Captain’s quarters at the UAIGSS...shit gets wild.” Bakugou shrugged nonchalantly. “Maybe you’ll be able to go next time...I heard that Nezu’s been thinking about promoting you to Co-Captain...of course you’d be my co-captain.”

“Oh of course.” (y/n) said back sarcastically as they both laughed, Bakugou nudging his girlfriend’s arm with his own. 

Their laughing died down when the faint sound of a hiss caused a chill to run up their spines and their eyes to widen as they looked between each other and behind them.

“What the fuck was that?” (y/n) screeched trying to keep her voice quiet as they both hopped up and Bakugou got into fighting stance beside her.

“Do you really want that question answered?!” Bakugou fired back.

Out of This World

Mina Ashido x Female Alien Reader

A Colosseum Collab - Out of this world

warnings: none! pure fluff

“Good morning, y/n.” A soft voice says, making me open my eyes. I blink a bit, looking around the white room.

“Where am I?” I ask.

“Earth.” The voice says.

My eyes widen. “I was selected?” I exclaim, sitting up straight. The doctor nods, her brown ponytail swishing. I clap my light green hands excitedly, jumping out of the transportation pod. “Are we here?”

“Almost, I gave you back your consciousness so you’d have time to get dressed and such.”

“Thank you.” I smile and stretch and go throw on some clothes.

🪐🪐🪐

Once on the new planet, we get a warm greeting. I was somewhat shocked. When I took my human studies class, my textbook said they were extremely judgmental.

I’m the first non-earthly being to attend a school on earth, which is really exciting for both humans and my kind.

“Welcome to UA.” A green haired boy says as I start up the stairs.

“Hi!” I say, adjusting my translator in my ear.

The boy’s face lights up and he runs up to me excitedly. “You’re the Alien!” He exclaims, running up to me.

“You’re the human!” I say back jokingly, making him laugh.

“That I am!” He says, linking arms with me. “You’ll be in my class, I’ll show you to it!”

“Cool!” I say, following his lead.

🪐🪐🪐

Once we get in the room, my eyes wander along all of the humans. There’s one with an animal’s head, which I assume is unusual. Then there’s one with funny ears, and an angry one with spiky blonde hair. Then my eyes gravitate towards a pink figure.

“Hi!” She says, leaping out of her chair and speeding over to me and grabbing my hand. “I’m Mina! Who’re you?”

“My name is Y/n.”

“Beautiful name.” She whispers, eyes sparkling.

“A-uh-I- thank you.” I murmur, flustered.

She winks at me, passing me a note that reads:

meet me after class ❤️ -mina

I blink at her and nod, taking a seat. Our teacher starts talking and my translator goes in and out, making me whack the side of my head to restart it.

Finally, after what seems like forever but no time at all, class is over and I’m out of the classroom, waiting for Mina to show up.

“Hi!” She says, slightly out of breath from running.

“Hello, Mina.” I smile at her. “Did you have something you wanted to tell me?”

“Uh, yes,” she blushes, “I’m not usually this forward, but,”

“It’s okay, go ahead.” I encourage.

She takes a deep breath, “I think you’re really beautiful.”

I blink at her. “Beau-ti-ful?”

She looks at me, eyes wide.

“I don’t understand, I’m sorry, some words don’t translate,” I rush, embarrassed by her embarrassment.

“It’s just, I...” she scratches the back of her neck in thought, then grabs my hands and looks me in the eyes. Gently and swiftly, she kisses my cheek.

“OH.” I say, flustered.

“Y-yeah, it’s okay if you don’t like girls, or don’t like humans at all, but I-“

I interrupt her by kissing her on the cheek. “I thought I read that humans do that on the mouth.”

“They do, but I didn’t want to be too pushy or anything, and I’m kinda nervous around you, and I-“

I silence her by kissing her on her lips, which were surprisingly soft. I’m not exactly sure what I was expecting, but the kiss exceeded all expectations. “I think you’re beau-ti-ful too.”

“Well, Y/n,” she says, her pink cheeks turning red, “I think you’re, out of this world!”

Headcanons for characters Part 8: Count Lucio of Vesuvia (AKA Montag Morgasson), Fluff

Hello everyone!

Long time no see! (I'm so sorry about that-)

But here we are, with yet another headcanons part! I think it's so good that I can finally do the fluff that I promised! You can also expect some Muriel and Portia fluff in the future too!

Requests for headcanons, fics and drabbles are open! If you have any wished or ideas, check out my rules for requesting (pinned post) or just pick anything from my prompt list!

Today's part, as requested, is fluff headcanons for everyone's least favorite count, the goatmen Lucio. Not my favorite, but fluff has been summoned, people. I cannot deny the destiny of fluff.

Hope you enjoy! ♡︎

- After the whole "coming back as the devil himself" fiasco, you and Lucio collectively decided that you've had enough trouble for one lifetime (and the second one, in his case). From then on, it would be just calm, regular life in the palace, without anyone to bother you. You've also managed to get your Count to promise that he'll be nicer and more fair to his subjects. But just because you wanted that. And he'll go to the moon and back for you.

- Lucio was, for as long as Vesuvia can remember, known as The Blonde Count. The Ruler With Blond Locks, the one with the slicked back hair. Of course, that meant that when you accidentally walked in on him dyeing his hair, both of you froze up. He was so embarrassed, telling you to get out and not look at him, not even knowing that you thought it was cute and not embarrassing at all. From that day forward, you've had cute little self-care dates every month where you two just stay in and you help him dye his hair. ++ Bonus points if when he wakes up in the morning, his hair is all messy and cute.

- Your relationship with Lucio isn't perfect. You've had your fights, your fair share of jealousy on both sides, and it couldn't have ever been described as perfect. However, whoever you asked answered the same: Lucio has never tried harder in anything than he does in your relationship. He's reckless, hot headed, mischievous, and sometimes stupid, but all of his everyday effort goes into making you the happiest person in the world.

- After becoming his lover, you've noticed that Lucio is much softer than he seems to be. Yeah, sure, he's an absolute whiny drama queen, but that does not mean that he doesn't play with his dogs, and it doesn't mean that he doesn't enjoy a good nap on the bed after a long day. It certainly doesn't mean that he doesn't want to hold and love you as long as he can. He may talk a lot of smack during the day, but not even he can deny that sleeping next to you and spooning you from behind isn't the moment he cherishes the most.

- Montag's favorite petnames for you are "babe", "gorgeous" and "darling". He has NO shame when you guys are out in public, saying things like "If these peasants have any problem with us, I'll throw them in the Colosseum and release the lions on them, babe!". Yeaahh, you'd never let him do that of course, but with you being that sort of evil-leaning-to-mischievous, you always laugh at those statements. He only has ONE secret nickname for you, which he only uses when you are alone in your bedroom, cuddling. It's "My King/My Queen/My Majesty". Oh, and one more thing. When you are all soft and mushy like that, he'd say: "I know Vesuvia only has a count know, but I swear I'll make you my count/countess/majesty one day.."

- You doing his eyeliner is his favorite form of intimacy. It's a big part of his image, and he doesn't trust many people with it, so he was a bit hesitant to let you at first. Now, it's become a part of your daily routine for you to sit in his lap every morning and draw on his eyeliner. With him whining about how you still aren't doing it right (even when he always says it's perfect afterwards), of course.

- I feel like having a metal hand is a big issue to Lucio. Sure, he always either says it's fine and brags about how brave he is, or he whines and cries about how hurtful it is and how much of an inconvenience it is... But not many have seen him in the middle of the night, making horrid faces, wincing and barely sleeping from the phantom pain he's getting. You always kiss around his chest (really close to where his metal prosthetic arm starts) to try and ease the pain.

- His mom, Morga, loves you more than she ever did love him. Even though she knows you aren't much better than her son, and calls you two "royal double-trouble", she still is very thankful to have you in her family. And yes, she does nag Montag to propose to you whenever she sees him, just because she can't wait for you to officially become her family.

- Lucio's acts of affection aren't big, but they are present. Every day he does something little to show you, to prove to you, that he still loves and wants you. Would he ever say those sweet words outloud? No. No, he would not. But the way he orders your favorite dessert to be brought in your room when he knows you are feeling down, the way he silently gives you his royal cloak when he noticed you were shivering in the snow, the way he dances with you in the ballroom with no care in the world... Maybe those gestures say enough, and he didn't even need to say anything else.

- Just as his former wife, Lucio loves spoiling you. But not in the same way Nadia does, no. Nadia spoils you gracefully, giving you everything you need and more, while also not being afraid to say "no" from a time to time. Lucio, however.. He's a different story. He spoils you, but to a different level. Anything you want anything you need, anything you could possibly think of - he just can't say no. This is because he truly believes you are the only person on his level, and he deserves the world (in his mind), so that means you do to.

[undiscovered-horizon]

Imagine being a warrior who grew up on an alien planet. One day, you become Doctor's champion in a trial by combat: a bizarre beginning of a relationship that will shake the universe in its time. - Part 4

(Part 1) (Part 2) (Part 3) (Part 5) (Part 6) (Part 7)

_____________________________

"The brave...and the savage," she said between heavy breaths. Her grip on the swords was not as strong as minutes before, as sweat was making her hands a lot more slippery.

The Doctor wasn't sure anymore whether (Y/N) was standing on the giant's shoulder. His vision was becoming blurry, eyes unable to focus on anything. The headache he was experiencing has been becoming more and more poignant the longer he was exposed to the Tartayan sun and general lack of wind. His mind was giving away to vertigo that started to drown out all sound and coherent thoughts.

In the meantime, (Y/N) was trying to keep her footing while her opponent struggled to throw her off. The Emperor noticed something shiny in her hand, a metal so pure and polished, its reflection of sun rays could blind. Before anyone could take a guess as to what bizarre solution she thought of now, her muscular arm drove the blade right under the giant's helmet, near the base of his neck. The part above his flesh was circular with regular crown-toothed spikes decorating the rim. One could think it resembled a more decorative type of a saw. A thick rope was attached to the center of the metal discus. The very end of the rope she tied around her belt.

"What is that wench doing?" The Emperor spat out. His red-caped assistant swallowed hard. This wasn't going very well.

"It looks like maeverian beheading, your worship."

"Then do something to stop her, you useless moron." The Emperor was beyond furious. Should she succeed, his whole plan goes to waste.

"Right away, your worship," The man bowed deeply and left the gallery. His hands were trembling.

(Y/N) grabbed the rim of the giant's helmet but quickly took her hand back as the temperature of the metal was unbearable, as one could expect from noon on Tartaya. She swore under her breath, clenched her teeth, and yet again grabbed the metal, this time not retracting. As it turned out, (Y/N) was climbing yet again: for some reason, she had to reach the top of the giant's head.

The hot metal was burning her hands even through the thick layers of bandage wrapped around her palms, forearms, and fingers. Tears started to form in her eyes as her hands begin to tremble from the pain. But she persisted: with a burning passion in her teary eyes, she climbed the helmet, the rope still attached to her belt. If she managed to survive this endeavor, blisters will leave serious scars even if they heal properly. At that moment, she couldn't care less. Scars and blisters belonged to maybes and perhaps, a future that was uncertain enough to let go for now. The painful sensation helped her focus on the present, on the task that was at hand, and her personal reasons that made her try to rescue the Doctor.

To (Y/N), there were more important things than few burns.

When she reached the top of the helmet, she had a quick look around her, simply out of curiosity: the colosseum looked different seven meters above the scorching sand. In here, there was a light warm breeze swaying single hairs that left her updo. In the far back of the highest levels, she noticed a blonde-haired woman with a worried expression: the Doctor's companion, no doubt. She stood out so much, it was ridiculous enough to be considered funny. Maybe (Y/N) will laugh about it after she wins, if she wins.

Then, she slid down the other side of the helmet, placing her feet on the opposite shoulder she climbed on. The rope tied to her belt stretched from the saw-like blade across the giant's chest. The audience must have realized what she was about to do, as they began to yell profanities and general expressions of discontent. The War Dancer was not supposed to win this fight.

"The savage," she whispered to herself before doing what every pair of eyes was afraid she was going to, although each pair knew perfectly well it was coming.

But before she could end the fight, a crossbow bolt flew right next to her head. Immediately, she looked in the direction it came from, keen eyes searching for the source. It was the man with a red cape, holding an ornamental crossbow that his arms struggled to keep in a distance good position. Taking into consideration his accuracy and the distance between him and (Y/N), he might have been born with a crossbow in his hands.

The man was loading another bolt when (Y/N) realized she didn't have the privilege of time to finish her plan: it was either now or never. She took a deep breath and run right off the giant's shoulder, leaping at its end. Her actions were faster than the second bolt by mere seconds. Any more pondering and her head would have been pierced.

The whole of Tartayan colosseum, even the Doctor who was suffering a heat stroke, watched the War Dancer falling as if it wasn't happening in real-time: everyone was holding their breath, watching her as if the time slowed down.

The time, however, was brought back to its regular pace when a disgusting sound of ripping flash and an ear-piercing scream of agony reached every pair of ears present. The saw blade, first stuck at one side of the giant's neck, pulled by (Y/N) weight slid across the colossus' throat. It was deep enough, that the sound of the blade cutting through the thick flesh was audible. Most felt nauseous, some even threw up on their fellow audience members.

The blood emerging from the deep cut sprayed the closest part of the galleries. While people were screaming in terror and trying to leave in the most chaotic manner imaginable, the giant fell to its knees only to end up with his face buried deep in the scorching sand of the arena. The area around his body started to change color quickly: once yellow, dry grains were now nearly black and stuck in lumps.

(Y/N) landed far away from the giant's corpse. Feeling the dread leave her body and exhaustion finally set in, her whole body was aching. Her hands were too burned for her to move her fingers even slightly.

From the Emperor's throat emerged a terrifying roar of fury and frustration. He pushed his red-cloaked assistant away and took the crossbow in his own sweaty, chubby hands. Hastily, he loaded another bolt and with shaky arms tried to aim at the War Dancer's head. Before he pulled the trigger, however, someone came to change those plans.

It was Rose who threw herself at the Emperor, making the two of them fall over. The crossbow fell out of the ruler's hands and fell down the stairs, only to end up at the feet of terrified people. Rose quickly got up and run towards a staircase that lead into the arena. She could only pray that the Doctor was still alive.

Among screams and rushed footsteps, a single, long blow into a horn was heard.

The trial was officially over.

"I have the pleasure to announce the result of the trial between the Doctor of Gallifrey and the state of Tartaya," the man in the red cloak said. His voice was anything but pleasant, audibly shaky because of his fear towards the Emperor now that he failed to eliminate (Y/N) prematurely. "Doctor's champion, (Y/N) of Viperion has defeated Marius 5th the Giant. The Doctor of Gallifrey is cleansed of all his deeds towards Tartaya and her people, he should not be prosecuted for them today, or any day that follows. That is the will of our great Emperor, Xarius 3rd, whose will is that of the Gods."

"Doctor!" Rose yelled as he kneeled next to the man. She could not care less for the announcement of results.

The Doctor was, indeed, in a dire condition. His eyes were barely open, stare completely hazy. All of his clothes were absolutely soaking in sweat, skin on his lips started to peel off. Although he tried to keep his hands from the sunlight, they had serious burns on them. His ears were ringing, Tartayan sun only blinding him further. Rose's voice was as if calling to him from a very far away land, a place somewhere between oblivion and eternity.

tftsmp: the pit recap

“Welcome to The Other Side.”

Tales from the SMP: The Pit

Cast: Karl Jacobs, Technoblade, Philza, Hannah Rose, Ranboo, Punz, Tubbo, Sapnap, BadBoyHalo, Fundy, Jack Manifold

This episode takes place in the future, a few years before the Lost City of Mizu takes place.  

In a monarchy, the King (Technoblade) decides that the winner of a series of games at the Colosseum will become his new general, with Karl there as the cameraman to record the events. Tubbo is the winner, and passes the final test to kill the other contestants. In the end, Technoblade orders Tubbo to kill Karl.

Afterwards, Karl is in the Inbetween. Through a book, he is reminded not to stray from the path. As he travels through the Inbetween the world around him glitches, and becomes darkened. A book under the grand white tree tells him to go up the ladder, as there is a surprise waiting for him. The room above is covered in blood with a sign saying “Stick to the path :]”

“They” can see that Karl is starting to doubt himself, but attempts to reassure him that this is a place to feel at ease, saying that his imagination must be skewed, and not to trust anything but the path. These “illusions” are just his mind deteriorating.

After reading a book urging him to find a way to the portal, Karl’s vision warps and he ends back up in the room he was in. In a very serious tone, he is told that they know more than he does and that they know what is right for him.

The versions of himself that he sees wandering the castle stayed in the Inbetween for too long and lost themselves, and are doomed to walk the castle grounds forever. In this book, he is told to go to the portal.

His vision warps and he is in a dark room with another book, telling him that if he goes to the portal he will regret it or else “we will make sure [Karl] will not stray from the path.” He runs and text on the screen tells Karl to follow the torches and that “It” can’t follow him through the portal. He runs through the castle, following the torches, leading him to the portal. He is told that if he goes through the portal he may never remember his friends again.

He escapes through the portal anyway, and appears in The Other Side. It is a beautiful dark castle with spiraling towers, lava, and a dark black cloud above it. Despite its ominous appearance, it is rather serene. Even the person writing the books seems calmer. “Welcome to The Other Side. You’re home now.” 

[dykeza]

can u tell us more about the c!Philza headcanons for like age and shit bc im very interested in your thoughts

Finally someone asks the important questions.

I think his story starts when he dies, like well over 600,000 years ago a guy who loved life got wrecked by a baby zombie. He wakes up in Deaths Realm (home of his future wife aka the hottest woman he’s EVER SEEN) and is like “fuck shit dick and balls I don’t want to be dead I didn’t get to do this thing” and so the Goddess of Death is like “I’ll cut you a deal because you’re so respectful and also cute: you can become an Angel, and after training for however long you need to, you will go back to the land of the living and Live Forever. Or you can just die and go fuck around in the fields of forgotten souls since you didn’t know many people and spent most of your life doing Goddess/Me knows what in the forest.” Mind you, NO ONE has accepted this proposition since becoming an Angel is Painful and Long and Awful. But Philza Minecraft is two things: 1. Batshit insane and 2. Loves being alive. So he’s like “yeah okay lol. Sign me up for Angel training.” <- clueless.

Angel training is like… excruciating. 50,000+ years of non-stop training. And when I mean Non-stop I mean NO REST. For 50,000 years you have something to do. Like Sisyphus and that damn boulder. Always got to roll it back up the mountain. No matter how much you wish to rest, you are Not Allowed That and if you do it gets Worse. But at the end you get sick ass wings and immortality and a cool outfit and in Phil’s case, a hot goddess wife. Because he’s a chad.

He goes back to the land of the living and then from then till Now, he does whatever the fuck he wants. Can’t die, can fly, not a care in the world. Certainly goes through some hardships and survives a lot of terrible circumstances but he’s alive and that’s what he wanted. He wanted to live, he wanted to do everything he could, get all he could from the life he was given, which is everything. Along the way he meets many people and does many things.

One of these things is get wrangled into the Piglin colosseums, which is my own headcanon lore all on its own. He fucks around killing people for a while, tries to settle down, his family dies, tries again, his family dies, and he slowly realizes that the price of living forever is that he can never have a simple life. Everyone he loves will eventually die, and he can Never Join them. Ever. Trust me he’s tried. Sometime 500 years before the dsmp happens the Antarctic Empire happens so that’s fun.

Other small headcanons is sometimes he wakes up with no organs, Angels don’t have gender so that shit just changes based on the day. Sometimes he has blood and other times he’s hollow on the inside. He suffers frequent hallucinations of Wilbur’s dead body damning him to a hell he knows he can’t go to, but the pain is enough. He likes cooking and botany. He sews Wilbur’s sweaters and makes him a quilt each year to celebrate nothing in particular. Sometimes he wakes up and his whole face is torn to shreds and bleeding and other times his teeth fall out one by one but then he blinks and he’s normal again. He can sense when people can die, very vaguely, and he tries not to physically touch people because he can feel when their heart will stop.

He has boobs. Refer to the syndicate post for shirtless cPhilza propaganda. Phiddies :)

Lesson 28 Summary

It’s finally time for the long awaited school play and the festival dance.

**SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT**

Beel has gone to Levi’s room to try on his costume. But Levi discovers that the costume no longer fits, and instructs MC to keep an eye on Beel to insure he doesn’t overeat and outgrow his costume again.

(I’m over here wondering why the costume had to be so form fitting that it can’t handle a little extra pudge around the middle but anyways lol)

Beel spends some quality time with MC, and takes the opportunity to invite them to the dance.

Luke encounters the pair and says hello. It seems he’s on the way back to Purgatory Hall after a baking lesson with Barbatos. Beel smells the cake he is carrying, and begins to chase Luke to get it from him.

(Let’s take a moment to appreciate how fast Luke must be in order to outrun hungry Beel.)

Luke decides to take shelter in the House of Lamentation, hoping to find Lucifer for help. Beel, Lucifer, and Luke collide, sending the cake flying. And of course Beel catches the cake in his mouth and swallows it whole.

Levi apparently saw the whole thing take place, and starts yelling at Beel for not listening to him. Lucifer tries to calm Levi down, but fails, and Levi ends up summoning Lotan. (To eat Beel maybe? Idk)

MC is then shown standing outside Levi’s door trying to talk to him. Levi is very upset and disappointed in himself for losing control how he did. Especially since now all the costumes are damaged and can’t be used. After some encouragement, MC convinces him to let them in so they can work on what they can together. Levi manages to repair MC’s costume. And then takes the opportunity to invite them to the dance.

Later at RAD, Lucifer is explaining the situation to Solomon and Diavolo. Solomon finds it very amusing (because he’s a little shit). Diavolo asks Mammon how his room fared, and when he starts to explain, Lucifer shoots him a glare causing him to downplay the situation.

Diavolo notices this and mentions to MC that he’s concerned that Lucifer and Mammon still haven’t worked things out. Barbatos then appears and speaks to Diavolo privately. Diavolo then informs the group that something has come up that he needs to take care of. When Lucifer assumes he’s coming with him, Diavolo cuts him off and asks Solomon to come instead.

MC is walking with Lucifer and Mammon and asks Lucifer how he’s doing. He tries to play it off like it’s no big deal, before making a hasty retreat to the student council room. Mammon notices and shares his observations with MC.

Mammon then asks MC to the dance in a very tsundere fashion.

He then gives MC some advice on when they will be able to talk to Lucifer if they want to check on him later.

MC heads to the music room later that night to find Lucifer listening to classical music, just like Mammon said. Lucifer greets them, realizing that Mammon must have told them where he was. Lucifer also makes a comment about how well the two actually know each other.

Lucifer then informs MC that Diavolo has contacted him and let him know that he won’t be back in time for the performance. But Simeon has already been contacted and has been able to rewrite the scenes without Diavolo in them.

MC attempts to cheer Lucifer up by practicing lines with him, which is apparently successful since he blushes like crazy. MC is then given the opportunity to try to invite Lucifer to the dance. He will attempt to dodge the question so that he doesn’t have to give MC an answer.

The next day is the school festival, and the play is performed by all the members of the student council minus Diavolo.

The choices that you made when talking to Simeon at the beginning of Lesson 27 will shape what sort of play this will be (guide coming for that later).

The overall plot is that Lucifer (his character) and MC (their character), travel to find Lucifer a bride. The two end up falling in love. But MC is given a dagger, and told by Satan (his character) that they should kill the princess/bride Lucifer was considering. He also explains that once they take the dagger, they HAVE TO kill someone, even if it’s not the princess.

Without giving too much away for future lessons, let’s just say that similar to the TSL series and the First Season Lessons, this play has a lot of interesting parallels and foreshadowing for the Second Season Lessons. 🤔 So have fun chewing on that and trying to figure out how things will work out. 🤓

The last major scene for this Lesson is the dance. This is another place where your answers mattered. I’ll be working on a guide for it later so you can see the different responses the brothers give depending on who you say “yes” to when they ask you.

Essentially the dance scenes can be broken into 3 types - Lonely Singles (with Solomon), Harem Ending (with everyone), and One Partner (with the 1 demon you said yes to.)

In an additional scene Lucifer talks to Diavolo in the Colosseum. Lucifer asks Diavolo what’s going on, sensing that this must be something serious. But Diavolo says it’s not the right time for him to explain yet.

Diavolo even comments on the fact that Lucifer usually takes “No” for an answer the first time, but he’s being very persistent about this. Lucifer asks if MC is involved, and Diavolo says he isn’t sure yet (which is why he doesn’t want to explain the situation to Lucifer).

Lucifer then switches gears and asks about the day Levi’s game wreaked havoc at RAD, and Diavolo explains that he and MC had ended up in the Colosseum. He then goes on to explain how it reminded him of when he first saw Lucifer when he fell, and that he is jealous of the bond Lucifer shares with MC and his brothers. (But jealous of who, I wonder? 🤔)

Lucifer tells Diavolo that he shares a special bond with him too, and will always be on his side. As the two start to leave for the “after party” for the play, Diavolo wonders to himself if Lucifer will really remain loyal to him “no matter what”?

There is another additional scene that shows everyone gathered at RAD following the play’s conclusion. Little D Number 2 makes an appearance, calling out to Papa Mammon. Everyone then teases Mammon about his “child”.

Number 2 then informs MC that Simeon is waiting for them in the courtyard. MC goes to find Simeon and he thanks them for their help with the play. He then suggests that MC comes with him to the Celestial Realm once their visit in the Devildom is over. Or offers to go to the Human Realm with them instead.

Background Information:

Original Timeline

-Chimalley was born in France during the Roman Empire from the Pillar Dhampir Izel and the human woman Fiora. Izel was the child of Pillar Man who survived the massacre of his species by Kars and a human woman in Central America. Fiora was the daughter of merchants and had the ability to predict different possibilities in the future of a person based from their choices.

-He had a good relationship with his parents and a peaceful childhood but everything changed, when he was 17 he watched his parents dying infront of him him by Slave Traders and was captured to be used as a Gladiator for the Colosseum. After 7 years of being treated as an entertainment he decided to escape by freeing the other Gladiators from the Colosseum.

-He traveled across Europe, Africa and Asia to expand his knowledge in the different languages and cultures of each country and meeting new people while learning how to survive and new combat skills.

-He became one of the first stand users in the late 15th Century after being shot unexpectedly by one of the stand arrows from the man who created them and saw the potential of Chimalley to use him for his army of Stand Users. Chimalley during that time was confused, scared and wanted to be away from this man, his stand, Dark Horse, reacted to his thoughts and transported him by disappearing in a cloud of dark smoke somewhere safe.

-His pursuit for the Stone Masks started when he encounter a vampire drinking blood from a woman and a stone masks on the floor in the house of a noble man. Chimalley used for the first time his stand by trapping the vampire into binds of shadows and proceeding by drinking his blood. The woman lost a lot of blood but she was alive before the Pillar Dhampir leave with the stone mask and destroying it.

-In the 17th Century he traveled in Scotland and fell in love with the daughter of a Clan Chief, Eimhir McLeod. Their love didn't last long when a stand user threatened the McLeod chief to destroy his Clan if he didn't get Eimhir to marry him. This turned into a fight between Chimalley and the stand user which resulted the death of Eimhir and the McLeod Clan. After this event the Pillar Dhampir didn't fell in love ever again.

-During the 18th century he changes his name into Chemaya Alley and in the 19th century, the year 1883, he finds a lead to someone who has a stone mask in Greece. He arrived in the city of Argos of the Argolida prefecture in the Peloponnese peninsula, after stealing the mask and destroying it he meets a 13 years old child name Panajotis McJohan, who was a stand user like Chemaya, he traveled with his parents from Nafplio to Argos to do some errands. Panajotis took Chemaya to meets his parents and later was adopted by the McJohan family becoming the older brother of Pano.

-In 1888 before the events of Phantom Blood, He accompanied Panajotis to Liverpool, England, to discuss some important stuff with George Joestar I. They arrived in the Joestar Mansion where they met George's sons, Jonathan and Dio, Chemaya found Jonathan pleasant and kindhearted, while Dio gave a hostile aura and he knew something wasn't right with him. The conversation of Panajotis and George ended with angry shouts from the elder Joestar warning the young McJohan to never come close to his family ever again.

-After this event Panajotis and Chemaya started working as Investigators and Treasure Hunters to earn money for some years and later Panajotis works as a woodcrafter and marries Elpida Zoheir, an Egyptian woman from Alexandria. Chemaya will occasionally visiting or write letters and teach the the McJohan family about stands for the following years.

-In 1939, Chemaya goes to visit his family in Greece when he comes face to face with Wamuu, who was looking for the Red Stone of Aja. His fight with Wamuu was one of the toughest he ever had and he finished it by using Dark Horse to teleport Wamuu to another country.

-In 1987, he encounters again Dio in Cairo, Chemaya learned from him that he became vampire via a stone mask, took the body of his Adoptive Brother, Jonathan, gaining a stand via a stand arrow and wanted to rule. Chemaya became furious with Dio of the things he had done to Jonathan and his family and challenged the stupid brat into a stand fight. The Pillar Dhampir was ruthless with the Vampire and he didn't give him any chances to attack back but in the last moment Dio activated his stand ability and time stopped giving him the opportunity to run away from Chemaya. The hybrid was still angry with him but he didn't chase him because the brat wasn't his problem and wasn't worth of his time.

-In 2002 he was in Italy to buy something for his family when he came across Viktoria Erikson, a Hamon User and a SWF worker, who was chasing a occult who had a stone mask and wanted to become powerful, they where successful in defeating the occult and destroying the mask.

-In November of 2011, Chemaya died by being cut in half by a mysterious stand user.

Fragmented Star AU/EOH game Timeline:

In this universe Chemaya's past is the same as the one in the original universe but with some changes:

-In 1987 learned also from Dio that he has Jonathan's head as a trophy and in 1988 Chemaya breaks into the Mansion before the last battle to save it and putting Jonathan's head into the hotel the Crusaders where staying. Chemaya actually thought Jonathan was dead and his descendants would bury him but his was unconscious and the hamon kept him young and alive, his descendants saved his body from Dio and connected it with his head, the Pillar Dhampir without knowing he saved Jonathan's life.

-In 2002, Viktoria and Chemaya had a third person helping them in the defeat of the occult, his name was Michalis Zannos, a Greek stand user who worked as a singer in a famous restaurant in Italy to save money for his sick mother to go in a hospital.

-In 2011 he survived the killing blow from the enemy stand user by teleporting behind him and hitting him unconscious and bringing to the SPW foundation HQ.

EXTRA:

-Chemaya inherited from his mother the ability to see the difference possible futures of someone based on their choices and would advice them to choose the most sensible one.

-He is a Pillar Dhampir like his father, he is physically stronger than a vampire but weaker than a Pillar Man and unlike them he can walk during the day. Also he had a horn like the Pillar Men but he broke it when he became 16 so to blend with the other humans.

-The necklace he wears used to belong to his father.

-He is Demiromantic/Asexual

Wound from a daggers in the left side of his chest

And a large cut which a reminder of his death in the original timeline on November of 2011. He remembered the previous timeline and the current one he lives.

-Chemaya has an artist eye and describe in detail any piece of art, the reason is because his Adoptive Brother, Panajotis worked as a woodcrafter later in his life and Chemaya is Artist's Model for his nephew Isaac and his mother, Kyriaki Callas/McJohan, who are both painters and a friend from Spain who is a Sculpturist.

SIX OF PENTACLES Everything You Give Comes Back Around

On the surface level, this card shows give and take, gifts, donations and charity. The giving and receiving that exists between the have's and the have not's. As a pentacles card, this might mean money, but it could also mean resources such as time, energy, experience, ect. It's a hopeful card overall-- hope that we may find a benefactor in our time of need, hope that we can have enough to gift our excess to those less fortunate, hope that society has come far enough that social welfare may be there to fill the gaps so no one may fall.

On a deeper level, the Six of Pentacles card really opened my eyes to the beauty of the numerology and symbology that exists within the tarot. If we look into the images on the Rider Waite's 6 of Pentacles, we can see how the story becomes one of karma, give and take and the blessings of the adage, "To give is to receive and to receive is to give."

Take the number 6 for instance. Sixes in tarot numerology mean harmony, communication and cooperation. They are the start of the healing and solutions to what plague us in the darkest times of the 5s (which are the direct middle of each suit, those darkest times we will experience on our journey directly between beginning [aces] and completion [10s]). Sixes create the solutions, help us get back our balance and move us away from strife to adaptability and healthy change. After coming out of a difficult situation like the poverty shown in the 5 of Pentacles, this card offers hope that we may make it to the rest of the story and find peace in that 9 of Pentacles and 10 of Pentacles. And that peace could very well come from a rebalancing of wealth, redistribution of resources and community that supports each other when we need help and love.

That rebalancing is shown very apparently in the scale of justice that the merchant on this card is holding in his hand. It's the very same that is pictured on the Justice card in the Major Arcana. This scale represents equity, fairness, equality, karma and things ultimately being balanced in a correct and positive manner. This merchant is not just giving charity for the sake of some haughty attitude that he gets to hold over these beggars, but because this is justice. It's not right for one person to have an excess. This merchant is not the miser seen in the 4 of Pentacles, he's not royalty who has never worked for money neither. He's someone who could very well be in the same position of these beggars if the market prices changed at any time in the  future. One bad crop for the merchant would be the only thing it would take to equalize the different social statuses.

In fact, there is a lot of symbolism here that points to the beggars and the merchant being one and the same. This is the only card in the tarot deck that shows two different social statuses on the same card, pointing to the fact that they are very much linked. The figures on the card are all part of the same cycle, they all blend together as one. There is no difference between them, it is an endless cycle that continues to balance as people climb up and down the social ladder. What support you may be able to offer someone someday, you might need the next. One card, one cycle, one society, all supporting and helping under the guide of social welfare. This is the grand balancing out of karma, what you put out into the world is going to come back to you at some point down the line.

This card goes into the economic theory of how when you distribute wealth it actually creates more wealth. That's a big part of what is stimulating the economy with these stimulus checks at the moment in our current political climate. When the rich miser (someone like in the 4 of pentacles) hoards all his wealth, the economy is not stimulated. But when someone like the merchant here comes along to dispense the extra, it actually creates growth and makes sure that the economy flourishes.

Since the beggars have nothing to offer currently, the merchant could be providing aid out of the goodness of his heart, however as a merchant, he's very likely to see that wealth come back to him when the beggars buy what he is selling. What we put out comes back to us ten fold.

Also, let's look at the symbolism of the colors that the merchant wears for a second. The white (innocence, spiritual purity) and blue (piety, wisdom, religion), show that he's not doing this in a haughty way nor maliciously. He was gifted with a good heart and therefore the community was blessed with kindness. The hand signal the merchant makes is also very important-- it's the same hand signal as hierophant - representing the spiritual side of giving, blessing, philanthropy, kindness.

Another number that shows up here is four with the four pieces of gold he offers the beggar. Four in tarot stands for stability and structure. This charity is not going to just throw the beggar breadcrumbs that might topple him later but will provide him with that structure and stability he needs in order to make it through to a point where he might be able to support someone else.

This card is very much about paying it forward, supporting the community and the power of kindness in times of trouble. It shows that there is so much spirituality we can gain when we help those who are the most hopeless and that by giving we can only, in turn, help ourselves. For my version of this card, I wanted to really capture the cyclical nature of giving and show people who have benefitted the most from their philanthropy and seem to have learned that lifting everyone up is the way to lift themselves up as well.

::Who's Who On This Card::

1. MrBeast from the Mr Beast YouTube Channel (Jimmy “MrBeast” Donaldson made a name for himself on YouTube by giving away more than a million dollars to strangers and friends in bouts of random donations. His whole model is completely cyclical-- the more money he randomly gives away, the more people want to click on it, the more money he makes, the more he can give away and the more of a name he makes for himself, it's actually kind of a fascinating economic model which shows the power of giving to receive)

2. Androcles and The Lion (In this old folktale, Androcles bravely take a spliter from the lion's paw, only to later end up a slave in the Roman Colosseum who is going to be fed to the lions, the same lion he once helped-- proving that the people you meet going up are going to be the same ones you meet going down and how much karma and good will can save you in the end)

3. Trevor McKinney in Pay It Forward (the kid in this movie wants to make a better world, so he envisions a plan where he will help three people and then they'll help three more people and the love and kindness will grow exponentially until everyone gets to live in a better world someday)

4. Angel (from "I'll Cover You" scene in RENT -- with lines like, "Live in my house, I'll be your shelter/Just pay me back/With 1, 000 kisses" because what we give from a place of love comes back to us in more love with this card)

5. Jane Goodall (She spent her whole life working and caring for chimpanzees... and ended up worth $10 million dollars)

6. "What's Mine Is Yours" song/scene from All Dogs Go to Heaven (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-g710mN4YNw -- "Whether you're the boss/Or someone's pet/The more you give/The more you're gonna get")
