She-Ra and the Princesses of Power S01E07 - In the Shadows of Mystacor

I'm trying to remember if Mystacor has ever been mentioned but I'm drawing a blank. The title sounds portentous enough that it makes me doubt the episode is going to be about the Ice Princess but she's the only one left so I'm guessing that's what it’s going to be about! Let's do this!

...why does Bow have hearts in the soles of his shoes?

"Because I can" he'd probably say

Also, what's up with them sleeping in the wilderness? Was the technology for tents and/or shelter lost in whatever catastrophe the First Ones went through?

I had this without subtitles and for a second I thought "Hey, she's having nightmares about Light Hope, maybe because of the infection?" but then I recognized the voice. Of course, the subtitles don't leave a lot of room to wonder who's talking.

Sure, leave your friends and tell no one you're leaving. Great idea!

That's some cute bed hair. I'm still weirdly bothered about the fact that they straight up slept on the grass. Like, it gets wet! And there are bugs!

How long has she been standing there watching? It was still dark when she stood up.

* gasp * Continuity~

Wait, did Glimmer just tell them "let's go sleep in the woods" without telling them their destination?

Oh, so there's magic beyond what the Princesses can do.

...I think Castaspella takes the prize for being the most literal name in She-Ra yet.

oooh, is Adora going to have problems seeing it? Drama~

As an aside, after last episode I wonder if all magic in Etheria is actually just very advanced technology from the First Ones and the entire setting of the show is post apocalyptic. That'd explain why they the princesses need to recharge in very specific circumstances instead of just sleeping it off like most wizards in most other settings.

The biggest mood. I _am_ writing this during another bout of insomnia after all.

ooh, plot

What's Shadow Weaver's problem with Catra? Is it just "Adora's the good one daughter, you're the bad one"? Whatever it is, Catra's self value and resentment problems are 1:1 linked to that, especially considering how Shadow Weaver keeps poking at Catra's insecurities.

The red rock can probably still work under the "all magic is tech" theory since Entrapta's problems were all because of a gem but I'm not so sure about the stone basin and the liquid inside.

(that's a fantastic Glimmer face)

Oh. So she didn't have friends when she was growing up? She didn't seem to know the other princesses, and the castle seems to have mostly soldiers and her mom so I guess it makes sense? But still, that's sad.

oh no she's a grandma

So, magic definitely isn't something only Princesses can wield. Unless it's different from their powers? They do seem to have very specific powers versus what looks like these generic sparkles.

It looks like Glimmer's inability to be taken seriously goes beyond her mother. That she didn't have a lot of friends feels like an important piece of that puzzle, since it could mean she was overprotected when she was a child (maybe because of the war?) and only recently she's been "acting out"

I was thinking that maybe Castaspell was the other princess's mom but now I really hope she isn't. That passive aggresive personality would be incredibly toxic.

I can't figure out Shadow Weaver's plan. Does she want to freak her out for some reason? Is she leading Adora somewhere (how does she know Mystacor enough to know where she wants to lead Adora?)? Hm.

Also I'm really bad at recognizing voices but Castaspella's voice reminds a bit of Shadow Weaver.

oh my god I was going to write the same thing

OH MY GOD I WAS KIDDING

I can't believe they are exploring Glimmer's weirdly normal family issues.

Welp, that'd explain how Shadow Weaver's shadowy thing knows how to move around Mysticor. How long ago was she exiled? It'd need to be at least 20~ years ago to match with her adopting Adora.

Sure, _now_ they have blankets.

Huh. Interesting design choice to keep Bow's chest covered. Now I'm wondering if he's trans and that's a binder.

It wouldn't be my first guess considering it's so direct and trans characters are mostly limited to background characters if at all but that quote from the showrunner about her characters being gay unless otherwise stated makes me think it could be a possibility.

GLIMMER HAS WINGS

Aw, the cuteness couldn't last.

The design of those wings remind me a lot of the ones in Card Captor Sakura, I wonder if it's an intentional reference.

Aw. Adora really has a ton of stuff to work through, huh? I'm glad they are taking the time to do it, it'd have been so easy for the writers to just let Adora cast aside everything Horde related but nope, she has a past, conflicted feelings about her "mom" and definitely some trauma.

oh my god this is so wholesome. I mean, he's wrong, but still wholesome.

He's such a good boy. He's even willing to accept Adora's different way to dealing with her emotions.

Uuuugh, that has to be Shadow Weaver, right? A lifetime of experience manipulating Adora, she knows exactly what to say, how to gaslight her.

This level of emotional manipulation is killing me. Shadow Weaver knows exactly what buttons to push, exactly what Adora fears hearing the most. And she's probably has been doing the same for years to both Adora and Catra.

Welp, I hope all those crystals were not important.

My heart. Glimmer did not jump to conclusions or blamed her even though she just lost a ton of credibility with her aunt. What a wholesome marshmallow.

I guess someone could go and say "they are wrong because they don't believe her" but this really feels like it's completely out of their life experience so I can't blame them at all. And they are probably going to apologize once it's all clear, right? I'm not sure you can ask more from them, they have been extremely supportive.

nooooo, don't do this to my heart (or Adora's) this has to be Shadow Weaver but that almost feels wrong because if she's so powerful why hasn't she done this before?

uuuuuuuugh

Rainbow energy~ Is She-Ra going to have to recharge the shields?

yup

I can't believe I'm going to say this but this almost feels out of character. Why would Shadow Weaver reveal the shadow if she's been so good about manipulating Adora so far?

Aaand she's back.

I'm glad they didn't leave that as a mystery. Wait, Light Spinner? Is Spinnerella a relative?

I _love_ this. I mentioned how it felt like it seemed like some people (like Angela or Perfuma) cared more about She-Ra than Adora, to the point that even Adora herself seemed to prefer being She-Ra for a while and it was all on purpose!

Shadow Weaver is manipulating Adora but this is probably something that has been festering in Adora's mind for weeks and I love that it's something that's been present enough on the show to be noticeable instead of something we have to extrapolate.

AAAAAAAA

I didn't expect Adora to confront all her dark mom issues and trauma so soon but this is gooood.

whoa wait what, that's cheating

Aren't you like one more subordinate of Lord Hordak?

This is some heavy stuff that I didn't expect this show to handle.

I'm going to be slightly dissapointed if that's the end of Adora's issues.

she's in

This is so wholesome and cute.

Is it a coincidence that her gem works the same way as the distress beacon in Entrapta's castle?

Nooooooo.

I feel so conflicted about Catra, she obviously has a lot of problems but after this episode I'm finding it very hard to blame her. Shadow Weaver _liked_ Adora and was horribly manipulative to her, imagine what she has been doing to Catra every day her entire life.

---

What a surprise! It's been pretty episodic so far with the introduction of the princesses so a return to the Horde and Shadow Weaver was a completely unexpected. It even included some consequences from last episode's infection!

There are a couple of things I want to talk about but before anything else, let me gush about how Bow and Glimmer are amazing friends to Adora.

When the episode starts with Adora not being in the right mood, it only takes one look from Glimmer to notice there’s something wrong with her friend after she doesn’t react to her jokes. She doesn’t get angry at Adora’s moody response, instead she tries to understand what’s going on and offers her a vacation.

While I was watching, I thought this was after returning to Bright Moon but it makes a lot more sense if they are on the trip back from Entrapta. Had Glimmer already decided to go to Mystacor or was it in response to Adora’s bad mood? In any case they really emphasize Mystacor’s healing properties because they see how much Adora needs that.

And then during their stay they never get frustrated at Adora’s increasing paranoia, instead they keep trying to help her by suggesting ways to relax.

How easy it would have been for Glimmer to give up on Adora after the third time of being rebuffed? No one would have blamed her or Bow if they got annoyed but they just keep trying. Bow even shows he listened to Adora about what she did to relax in the past and suggests it back to her after the “normal” stuff fails. And then they give her space the second Adora asks for it!

Even after Adora’s breaks the crystals in the Lunarium and seemingly kills any bit of “grown-up” credibility Glimmer may have had with her aunt, she doesn’t get angry.

I understand that there’s a reading here that could say that Glimmer and Bow are in the wrong because they didn’t trust Adora about her weird visions from the get go but I feel this was a lot more realistic. How long has been Adora with them? How much of their past do they even know? Before this episode they hadn’t heard about Shadow Weaver and that’s Adora’s _mom_. In fact, I’m sure they don’t even know who Catra is, and that’s Adora’s strongest “positive” link to the Horde.

Would _you_ believe a new friend if they started seeing shadows after a traumatic experience that affected their cognition? Or would you try to help them in the way that makes most sense to you?

I think a plot where they believe her right away could have worked as a mystery but I’m not sure I’d have liked it as much as this one.

That last scene where Adora wakes up from a nightmare and shows her new trust in Glimmer by falling sleep right away was * chef kiss *

With all my unbridled gushing out of the way, let’s talk about Shadow Weaver. It’s interesting that they took a mystery that could have worked for a multiple episode arc and then revealed it in the same episode.

If the episode had _only_ Bow’s line “Mystacor is protected by a spell so evil can’t find it” plus Shadow Weaver’s shadow hanging around it would have been enough to set up a mystery about how she wasn’t affected. A couple of episodes later they could have shown Light Spinner’s statue. And afterwards they could have confirmed it. That they took the possibility of stretching something like that for episodes and episodes makes me optimistic about the future since I assume they have much better ideas in their pocket.

What I am _not_ optimistic about is how this episode felt like it was “the one where Adora overcomes the trauma from being raised by Shadow Weaver.” She’s still dealing with nightmares by the end but it still felt very rushed in that regard. I’m hoping I’m wrong and this is just her first step.

Glimmer’s struggles in making adults take her seriously have been interesting so far. It makes me wonder what will be the event that’ll change everyone’s minds. I doubt this show will go _too_ dark but a battle their side loses because they didn’t listen to her or a battle they win only because they listened to her could work. Technically, the Princesses Alliance is that but I’m pretty sure Angella won’t care much about it until they prove themselves.

Bow is still a mystery. An extremely good boy, but a mystery. I’m hoping that Catra’s sudden focus on him will develop him more. I’m still curious if he’s intended to be read as trans but it’s a nice head canon to have if not.

Oh, and Catra. This good has been very, very good about not being black and white but Shadow Weaver’s behavior tilted the scales towards Catra being a very sympathetic but tragic figure. She may be the black sheep of Shadow Weaver’s wards but it looks like she learned the lessons SW was teaching the best, probably because she was subjected to them the most during their life.

I think that's all for now. There's still a princess left and whatever's Catra is planning so I can't wait! Until next time!

SVTFOE summary

SPOILER ALERT!!! 

Ok, a couple of minutes ago I watched the last episode of SVTFOE and my mind almost exploded. (but in a positive sense!) Wow, that was intense, emotional rollercoaster, but it makes that cartoon worth seeing, right? 

1) First of all, STARCO. Yeah, It doesn’t feel right that they used Kelly, Janna, and Tom for ship’s development but actually, it determined the future!? Like, if it wasn’t Marco, who kept helping Star, she wouldn’t ever figure out how to save her kingdom several times? Without Marco, Meteora would not want to get revenge on him and therefore, would not be reunited with her mother. Aaand it is better that she was turned into baby, because she would start anew, without the influence of St. Olga’s brainwashing. (besides Meteora and Mariposa’s sisterhood <3)

Back up to Marco. SVTFOE is not only about Star and Marco’s love. It is about splitting and getting back together. Just look at it:

I. High Commission had taken away Eclipsa’s daughter, but with the help of main protagonists, they reunite. Then, because of Moon’s doing - love of her life is freed from crystal, as well.

II. Ponyhead loses her horn, her spark and she realizes that it is not the end of the world? She even gets an artificial horn. Earlier, she lost her identity in St. Olga’s school for wayward princesses. She was deprived of both of these things, but she RESTORED IT. 

III. Ludo wanted the wand from the very beginning, but in reality, he wanted a functional family? His parents deprived him of happiness by treating him like trash, so he took over their castle. Then, his brother showed up to save him. The basketball match with Denis is a symbol of him slowly regaining his sanity/happiness.

IV. The first Mewnians come from Earth. It is very significant for the cartoon as a whole. The end of magic is equal to the end of Butterfly’s dynasty. And there is a tendency that if one thing ends, it must find the way to its roots. Let’s be real. ‘The greatest illusion is the illusion of separation’ and to be honest, MAGIC divided people and Universe. Yeah, I got it. In the Magic Realm, there are portals to other worlds, and we have dimensional scissors. BUT ACCESS TO IT IS LIMITED. There are magic users and non-magic users. It is a very risky deal because some of them misuse their powers. Ultimately, the magic was the reason, why the main villains did what they did. They were jealous or infuriated that such a power is reserved for Butterflies only. 

Now let me come back to the ending of ‘cleaved’. The scene where the magic realm was falling apart and Marco and Star decided to stay there, hugging. I really liked that not because ‘ ooh that’s so romantic’. NO. Take into consideration, that the change in the realm of magic started with whispering spell of Queens of Mewni. Could Star do it on her own? No. Unity defeated magic. Then what about Marco? I’ll tell you. 1)He was the last wand user, so he had to end what the queens started 2) together with Star they represent the needs of everyone they love and care about. 3) They consider themselves as EQUAL, just like it should be. I think that ‘magic’ was initially an expression of feeling and beliefs, but later on people by using it as a tool, corrupted it. To conclude, ‘the hug’ was like a reset button. That is why the worlds mixed up into one. Additionally, Marco was the last piece to bring people of Mewni back to Earth, because HE WAS FROM EARTH. 

2) Marco and Tom’s bromance. From enemies to besties. I love that trope. It is obvious that Marco triggered Tom’s character development. What is beautiful about their relationship is... (KARAOKE!!!) that later on Tom doesn’t perceive Marco as a rival, on the contrary, as a buddy, who would help him whenever he has problems with his girlfriend. I refer to that episode, where Star, River, and Marco were looking for Moon and exactly to the moment when Tom immediately called Marco right after he hung up with Star. That was adorable, just like their other interactions. Not to mention the fact that Tom would sacrifice for Marco! (3rd season finale)

3) Last minute character development of Janna and HP (i would like to elaborate more in a seperate post)

 I must admit that also Miss Skullnick turned out to be a good teacher, who cares about the safety of her pupils. (’Interdimensional Field Trip’ episode)

4) Mewni’s social division:

I like how it was highlighted that if you have money, you are treated differently. It shows how unjust the system was. However, episodes: ‘Monster Bash’ and ‘Cornball’ are the great examples that people and monsters are the same and there’s hope to built together prosperous future. Allow me to quote Buffrog: ‘Our generation is garbage. But the little ones... may turn out ok’. Very good and strong message, to which we can relate to in the real world. 

WHAT I REALLY REGRET: 

- HP is freakin’ dead. (just like other members of the High Commission, but I do not pity them)

- all Star’s (Eclipsa’s and other queen’s too) spells are GONE/dead. 

- Glossaryck, you slippery (probably dead AGAIN) pudding eater I want answers. 

Overall, that was a pretty neat show.

Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

Classic literature vine compilation: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, pt. 02

A/N: Here is the second part of the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde vine compilation! :D

Lady Summers: Imagine if someone handed you a box full of the items you have lost throughout your life.

Utterson: It WOULD be nice to get my sense of purpose back.

Lanyon: Oh wow, my childhood innocence! Thank you for finding this.

Poole: I knew I lost that potential somewhere!

Jekyll: My will to live! I haven’t seen this in years!

Hyde: Mental stability, my old friend!

Lady Summers: Gentlemen, could you lighten up a little?

Jekyll, singing: This is the day, see it sparkle and shine-

Jekyll, singing: When all I've lived for, becomes mine!

Hyde: Lol, nope.

Lady Summers: Look at your glasses, gentlemen. Do you think, that they're half full or half empty?

Utterson: Half full.

Jekyll: Half empty.

Hyde: You haven't even touched it yet!

Lanyon: It's a glass of champagne.

Lady Summers: Well, I see a glass that's half full and half empty.

Lady Summers: And I think, that I should drink my champagne already.

Board of Govenors: Get murdered by Hyde one by one.

The whole city: OMG, SOME HYPOCRITICAL SICKOS GOT MURDERED HOW TERRIBLE!!! EVERYONE PANIC!!!

Me: Oh for fuck's sake, it's 1880s London, people get murdered every fucking hour!

Lady Summers: Being a telepath has its downsides.

Hyde: Like?

Lady Summers: You know, how I can control, when I look into other people's minds, but keep hearing their thoughts all the time, as if they were talking out loud?

Hyde: Uh, yeah?

Lady Summers:  Well, sometimes I hear things that literally no one wants to hear.

Hyde: Is that why you're so grumpy right now?

Lady Summers: You'd be grumpy too, if you had to listen to someone thinking about bedding their own mother.

Hyde: …

Lady Summers: Dammit, me and my big mouth.

Hyde: What? I don't have a mother.

Lady Summers: No, but hearing you think about your physical exploits with Dr. Jekyll isn't much better.

Lady Summers: I like to believe that I'm a tolerant, open-minded person.

Lady Summers: I'm very nice.

Lanyon: You punched a baron in the face and gave him a black eye, Milady.

Lady Summers: That twit made fun of your beautiful eyes. He clearly asked for it.

Lanyon: …  O///O

Lady Summers: I used to believe as a child, that insane asylums were places, where insane people were cured.

Lady Summers: *scowls* But then I realised that they're just suburbs of hell, where the patients are treated like criminals at best and animals at worst.

Jekyll: What happened?

Lady Summers: I saw one.

Lady Summers, a German noblewoman living in England in the 1880s: Since the relationship between Britain and Germany is beginning to get complicated, people keep asking me, where my loyalties lie.

Lady Summers: They lie with my home country.

Lady Summers: And it's not Germany.

Lady Summers: Doctor Jekyll, what are you doing?

Jekyll: Monologuing.

Lady Summers: …

Lady Summers: Doctor, that's not how you confront the person who ruined your life.

Lady Summers: And I'm not referring to Mr. Hyde here.

Jekyll: …

Jekyll: Is this … chamomile tea?!

Lady Summers: Yes. Now stop sulking, chamomile tea is healthy for your digestion.

Jekyll: I know that! I'm a doctor, Milady!

Lady Summers: Why are you not drinking, then?

Jekyll: Chamomile tea is disgusting!

Lady Summers: …

Lady Summers: I swear, I'm talking to a five-year-old.

Lady Summers: I try to be as British as possible.

*something is out of place*

Lady Summers: WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT MOVING THE FURNITURE IN MY HOUSE??? AND WHERE ARE MY FOUNTAIN PENS?!?!

The butler: She's trying.

Jekyll, Utterson & Lanyon: …

Jekyll, singing: The world has gone insane!

Hyde: Nah, sweetheart, it's just you.

Hyde: I'm very generous! What about that one time I gave blood?

Utterson, suspiciously: Whose blood?

Hyde: *shrugs* Some guy's. 

Jekyll: I've had about enough of your sarcasm.

Hyde: Just about? So you could have some more, if you wanted through it.

Jekyll: That's exactly what I'm talking about.

Lady Summers: I, uh, I stayed up way too late.

Lanyon: Why don't you stay awake all day and then go to bed, like, at nine tonight.

Lady Summers: That's a risky fucking move.

Lanyon: Do it anyway.

Lady Summers: I'm gonna do it anyway.

Jekyll: Hastie, why am I so ugly?

Lanyon: You're not. Literally every single person you know has told you that you're good-looking.

Jekyll: Yeah, but they're just saying that, because they feel bad for me.

Lanyon: Feel bad for you?! No, no.

Lanyon: Well, most of us find you bloody annoying.

Hyde, holding a mouth harp: You play it, you get a hundred million pounds. But a hundred million people will die.

Hyde: *plays the mouth harp*

Utterson: EDWARD, NO!!! 

Hyde: Henry, I don't want to continue torturing you.

Jekyll: *sighs* Yes, you do.

Hyde: YES! YES I DO!!! >:D

Hyde: Your honour, I'm not trying to bribe you, but would you like this other half of this cosmic brownie?

Utterson: Dear god! *_*

Utterson: THIS MAN GOES FREE!

Utterson: Would you rather fight a bunch of kindergartners-

Hyde: I wanna fight kindergartners!

Utterson: That's not even the whole-

Hyde: THOSE KIDS ARE GETTING SLAPPED! 

Hyde: Well, I'm not gonna tell you anything!

Lady Summers: Is that so? Well, I suppose I'll keep this delicious nougat to myself.

Utterson: Mr. Hyde, now that I have you strapped to this chair, you will come.

Hyde: Now, that's what I call bondage!

Utterson: If it pleases the court, I might read a direct quote.

Judge: I'll allow it.

Utterson: *reads out loud* "I'm literally crying."

Hyde: I WAS NOT!!!

Utterson: YOU WERE!!!

Jekyll: Are you ticklish?

Hyde, thinking: Oh god, I don't wanna say yes, because I then get tickled, but if I say no, he might get suspicious and then tickle me anyway, so I don't know-

Jekyll: Where's the entire box of cookies that I just bought.

Hyde: That's almost an accusatory tone-

Hyde: -but there is none. Yeah, I ate the whole box, because I have no self-control.

Utterson: Do you wanna take our relationship to the next level?

Jekyll: Yes, but I have to warn you: I'm a bitch in the boardroom AND A MONSTER IN THE BEDROOM!!!

Simon Stride: Hey, Lisa, wanna marry me?

Lisa Carew: I SAID NO FIVE TIMES, GET A CLUE!!!

Simon Stride, holding a game of clue: Hey, Lisa-

Lisa Carew: GODDAMMIT!!! 

Jekyll: Do you ever lay down, and then you start to cry for a bit and you don't know why?

Jekyll: Can you file this?

Hyde: Oh yeah, just gimme a sec, 'cuz I'm in the middle of this huge existential crisis right now and it's almost time for my daily breakdown, so … 

Jekyll: I was wondering, if you wanna go out?

Lanyon: Yeah. *opens the door*

Jekyll: Where are you going?

Lanyon: Out. The farther away from you, the better.

Priest: Where's the holy water?

Hyde: *innocuously sipping from a cup*

Jekyll: So many women and men like me, it's, like, really annoying.

Hyde: … *inhales*

Hyde: NNNNAAAHH- 

Lanyon: Alright, if you were a flower, what would you be?

Lady Summers: I'd be a little-mist-camellia, because nobody knows I exist.

Lanyon: Very educated!

Lanyon: Oh cool, a mood ring! What does blue mean?

Hyde: It means "don't talk to me".

Lanyon: What does purple mean?

Hyde: Also "don't talk to me".

Lanyon: What does green mean?

Hyde: *holds up middle finger* Did you notice the finger it's on?

Lanyon, when meeting Lady Summers for the second time: Hey, I know you!

Lady Summers: You don't know me. I don't even know me.

Lanyon: Nice to see you again!

Lanyon: Listen, Milady, if you don't change your attitude, I'll have to talk to your husband.

Lady Summers: …

Lanyon: … Wait.

Lady Summers, a widow: If you figure out, how to talk to my husband, please let me know.

Lanyon: Alright, Milady, if you were an animal, what would you be?

Lady Summers: I'd be a black sheep.

Lanyon: Okay, very expressive!

Lanyon: Okay, if you were a fruit, what would you be?

Lady Summers: I'd be a tomato, because no one accepts me as part of the group.

Lanyon: … Very creative!

Lanyon: Alright, if you were an office supply, what would you be?

Lady Summers: I'd be paper, because everyone uses me and then throws me away.

Lanyon: … Very descriptive!

Lanyon: Milady, if you were a sweet, what would you be and why?

Lady Summers: I'd be black liquorice, because nobody likes me.

Lanyon: I'm sure, someone does!

Lanyon: In fact, I do!

Jekyll: Bye! Have a good day!

Lanyon: Have a great day!

Jekyll: Have an amazing day!

Lanyon: Have an incredible day!

Jekyll: HAVE A MAGICAL BLOOMING DAY, YOU SON OF A- 

Lanyon: If you were a spirit animal, what would it be?

Lady Summers: I'd be a unicorn, because nobody believes in me.

Lanyon: Very imaginative!

Jekyll: It was nice to meet you.

Lanyon: It was great to meet you.

Jekyll: It was wonderful to meet you.

Lanyon: It was fantastic to meet you.

Jekyll: IT WAS A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU, LITTLE BUGGER-

Lady Summers in public, singing: I wanna be where the people aren't. -_-

Lady Summers: *ominously* No one will ever find your body-

Lady Summers: *cheerfully* -as attractive as I do! Let's grab dinner!

Lanyon: O///O

Lady Summers: Oh my god, is it really that late? I should go outside!

Lady Summers: *opens the front door and looks out*

Lady Summers: That's enough.

Hyde to Utterson:  I love waking up next to you, babe.

Hyde: But I fell asleep on the left side and woke up on the right-

Hyde: *grabs a knife* -SO WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU GO LAST NIGHT?!

Jekyll: Hey, what are you doing tonight?

Utterson: More like, who am I doing, amirite?

Jekyll: …

Utterson: …

Jekyll: …

Utterson: … I'm not doing anything, what's up?

Utterson: When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.

Hyde: Well, unless they give you water and sugar, your lemonade is gonna be pretty sucky.

Utterson: …

Utterson: This elusive creature has been dwelling in this room for the last three days and-

*Hyde comes dashing out of the lab*

Utterson: OH MY GOD, THERE IS IT, IT GRABS SOME FOOD-

*Hyde retreats back into the lab*

Utterson: -aaand it's gone.

Utterson: Story time! Into the bag he snuck, looking for treasure!

Hyde: *runs away giggling*

Poole: He's looking for my sweets. :)

Utterson: Oh, but his plans were foiled! XD

Lanyon: *ominously* I'm gonna chop you up-

Lanyon: *cheerfully* -SOOOME FRESH VEGETABLES TO HELP MAINTAIN YOUR KILLER SHAPE! *starts cutting vegetables*

Lady Summers: *thinking* Cute.

Lady Summers: *ominously* Your days are numbered-

Lady Summers: *cheerfully* -WIIITH THIS FRIENDSHIP CALENDER TO MARK YOUR FUTURE SUCCESSES! *laughs*

Lanyon: *laughs*

Lanyon: *ominously* You're just one Claude-

Lanyon: *cheerfully* MOOONET PAINTING, BECAUSE YOU'RE A WORK OF ART! THAT SPARKLES! :D

Lady Summers: v///v

Lady Summers: *ominously* Drop-dead-

Lady Summers: *cheerfully* GOOOORGEOUS, that's what I'd call you with or without this blush! :D

Lanyon: O///O

Lanyon: *ominously* I want you to get lost-

Lanyon: *cheerfully* -IIIIIN MY EYES AS I GET LOST IN YOURS!

Lady Summers: Alright! :D

Lady Summers: *ominously* We should break up-

Lady Summers: *cheerfully* -YOUR BUSY SCHEDULE FOR SOME WELL-DESERVED SNUGGLE TIME AND CUDDLES! :D

Lanyon: Aww! :3

Hyde: Story time! There they were! And they were beautiful! As soon as they were seen, hearts swelled!

Poole: 'Cause I have your food? XD

Hyde: YEEEEE- :D

Lanyon: *ominously* You're so stupid-

Lanyon: *cheerfully* -LYYYY TALENTED! YOU DELICATE, BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLY!

Lady Summers: ^///^

Hyde: What's it like, being tall?

Jekyll: I'll show you. *lifts him up*

Hyde: So beautiful. *_*

Utterson: Story time! He had no clue he was about to run into a BRIDGE!!!

Hyde: *startles*

Utterson: -That was nowhere near! XD

Hyde: Why the frick would you say that?!

Lanyon: Story time! NO MATTER HOW FAST HE RAN, HE COULD NOT ESCAPE THE DEMON! BUT HE WOULD NOT LET HIS SOUL BE TAKEN TODAY! XD

Jekyll: *throws his arms up* AHHHHHHH!!! XD

Lady Summers: Oh yeah!

Lady Summers: *brushes her teeth*

Hyde: -_-

Lady Summers: *whips out a bottle of orange juice*

Hyde: No!

Lady Summers: *drinks the orange juice* >:D

Utterson: THIEF! YOU'RE UNDER ARREST FOREVER!!!

Jekyll: WAIT, NO, WHAT DID I STEAL?!

Utterson: My heart. >///<

Jekyll: O///O

Poole: Story time! In every group of friends, there's the dumb one.

Utterson, Lanyon & Lady Summers: *point at Jekyll*

Jekyll: Really?! -_-

The others: *laugh*

Utterson: Hey Hyde, we got some ice cream out here!

Hyde: *comes out of the lab* ICE CREAM!!!

Poole: *knocks him out with a frying pan*

Utterson: … I'm shocked this always works.

Poole: I know, let's get the notes.

Hyde: I keep telling you, man, you gotta stop letting people walk all over you!

Jekyll, lying on the floor: Okay.

Hyde: What's wrong, kid?

Little girl: Nobody likes me! Q_Q

Hyde: All that matters is what's inside-

Hyde: *pulls out a gun* -your wallet.

Little girl: WHAT?!

Utterson: Oh, Miss got grief?

Lady Summers, 20 years ago: Yes, sir, my husband is dead.

Utterson: Oh, I didn't know you were married, may I congratulate!

Lady Summers: … *thinking* English people.

Lady Summers: Did you know I can read minds?

Jekyll: Really?!

Lady Summers: I'll show you.

Hyde, inside Jekyll's mind: AAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Lady Summers: OH MEIN GOTT!!!

Jekyll: Yeah, I got a lot going on.

Hyde: Your honour! Permission to treat the witness as hostile!

Utterson: Permission granted!

Hyde: I'm gonna shoot you in the face!

Enfield: That'll ruin my day!

Utterson: You're being charged for murder. What do you plead?

Hyde: … I'm sorry, I was just doing this thing, where I wasn't listening, just staring at your chin. 

Poole: Sir, there's been a murder.

Jekyll: Was it you?

Poole: No!

Jekyll: Was it me?

Poole: … No?

Jekyll: *sigh of relief* Okay.

Poole: Doctor, come out, come out, wherever you are!

Jekyll: I'm gay!

Lanyon: Where are you?!

Lady Summers: I give you a hint - Japan.

Lanyon: You're taking this game of Hide and Seek way too seriously.

Utterson: Do you want some vitamins, bro?

Jekyll: No, bro.

Utterson: Why, bro?

Jekyll: Because you're the only one, who gives me strength, bro.

Utterson: Bro!

Jekyll: I'm not a cake face. I'm an ice cream cake face.

Jekyll: Under this thick cosmetic frosting is my cold interior.

Hyde: Hi, I'm the cold interior! :D

Hyde: I heard you were checking out my boyfriend?

#1 random guy: Uh, yeah?

Hyde: *gets out a knife* WELL YOU'LL NEVER SPEAK TO MY BOYFRIEND AGAIN!!! *throws knife*

#1 random guy: *dodges knife* Sir, I'm a cashier, it's my job!

Hyde: Hey!

Utterson: *jolts awake*

Hyde: *holds a gun to Utterson's head* Who are you dreaming about?

Utterson: Uh, you? O_O

Hyde: Okay. Just checking. ^_^

Lady Summers: I don't always play the victim.

Lady Summers: But when I do, it ruins other people. >:D

Lady Summers: You can make fun of me. You can make fun of my life style.

Lady Summers: But if you make fun of my family, friends or clients, I'll make sure you'll never be able to show your face in public again.

Hyde: Why are you always on your desk?

Jekyll: Why are you always on my nerves?

Hyde: True, my bad.

Jekyll: I CAN'T FIND IT!

Hyde: What are you looking for?

Jekyll: My happiness.

Hyde: Your what?

Lady Summers: How tall are you?

Jekyll: Six feet.

*reverse*

Jekyll: How tall are you, Milady?

Lady Summers: *glowers* I am 4 feet, seven inches and nine tenths tall, I will destroy you!

WAR OF HEARTS

                        - PART I

(requested by multiple anons                 - keep reading the next parts too ;) )

Kai Parker x Reader word count : 3 482 summary : Reader is a Trybrid (witch , werewolf and vampire) and very close with Klaus (like a daughter to him). She ends up in the Prison World where Kai is accidentally , trying to help a friend. NOTE : This is the story with Kai / Kol / Reader , apologies for Kol missing in this chapter , but he will be in the next ones. Gotta start somewhere before we get to the fun part… ;) *gif by vampirediaries _________________________ “What the hell ?”  she said getting up from the cold floor and looking around. Y/N had been out in the woods helping a friend with a spell and suddenly she found herself in one of the hallways in her old high school. It was the middle of September , Tuesday … yet the hallways were deserted , no sounds came from the classrooms or anywhere from that matter. Well , almost… There was something but Y/N wasn’t sure if she was imagining it or not. She walked the empty hallways and got out of the school looking around , trying to find someone but there was absolutely no one. For a moment she thought maybe she had passed out and it was all some weird dream or something. Using her vampire hearing she headed for the only sound she could hear , leading her into an empty looking house. The place seemed familiar , like a memory of a memory or a dream of a dream … then she realised why the house looked familiar - she had walked past it while going to school when she had been a kid. Y/N walked up the porch and knocked on the door. A few moments passed and no one opened so she decided to see for herself , but just as she was about to put her hand on the door knob , the door opened and in front of her stood a young man. He looked surprised to see someone standing on his doorstep , his facial expression went from shock to surprise to suspicion in seconds. “Um … Hi.” she said smiling nervously. “I’m Y/N. Sorry to bother you , I … I kind of just found myself here , could you tell me where everybody is ?” The young man stood frozen at the door for a few seconds before stepping away , letting her walk inside. Y/N took a few steps looking around the place. “Thanks. Nice house..” she said , a moment before she dropped on her knees her hands reaching for her head trying to fight off the spell causing her the worst witchy migraine ever , then the world went dark.When Y/N woke up , she was tied to a chair with vervain ropes around her wrists and ankles. The mysterious young man was standing a few feet away from her , his eyes locked on her. “Well that’s new…” she muttered trying not to move much before she has figured out the situation. Clearly there had to be some kind of misunderstanding. “It’s not the only thing that’s new.” the young man said taking a step towards her. He was very handsome with blue eyes perfect chizzled jaw and judging by the purple - black veins showing under his eyes , he was also a vampire. “Ooh-kay. Look , I don’t know who you are but there has to be some misunderstanding here. I was trying to help a friend and the spell must’ve gone wrong because I ended up here … except I have no idea where ‘here’ is or who you are.” she said. “Oh right , sorry manners. I forgot to introduce myself earlier.” he said smiling. “I’m Kai. This is my home … not referring to the house , tho it is my home. The world outside is my home or … prison to be more accurate.”

Huh … ? That really is new. she thought. “Nice to meet you , Kai. Could you remove those vervain ropes  , please ? I am sure we can get along just fine and maybe find a way out of this place?” she said smiling. Kai looked at her curious. There was something different about Y/N he just couldn’t quite put his finger on it. She didn’t seem afraid of him at all. “I just told you this is a prison world. Aren’t you scared or at least curious of what I have done to end up here ?” he asked suspicious. Y/N chuckled. “I am actually ,  but I am pretty sure the conversation would be much more pleasant without those…” she said glancing at the ropes tying her up to the chair. Kai sighed and took the knife from the table cutting the ropes carefully , making sure his hands didn’t touch them. Y/N got up rubbing her wrists for a moment. “Thanks Kai.” she said taking a step towards him. “Now tell me , is there any blood stash around here or any food in general. I can cook if you can’t or don’t want to… and then you can tell me more about this place and who you are.” Kai gave her a smirk and a moment later she was pinned to the wall , his hand on her neck. Whoever this stranger was , however nice she seemed he didn’t buy it. “How about we start with who you are since I was here first ?” he demanded. Y/N’s eyes turned golden amber , black veins showing under her eyes for a split second , then she raised her hand and he went flying away from her hitting the wall on the opposite side of the room. Kai looked startled , he got up quickly and fixed his shirt trying to process what was happening. “Let’s start this over shall we.” she said blowing a small strand of hair off her face. “Hi , my name is Y/N and I am a thrybrid - a siphoner born with the werewolf gene who got turned into a vampire. I have no idea how I ended up here and I cannot wait until we get out of this place.” she said calmly with a smile at the end. “Your turn.” 'What?!?!’ Kai mouthed unable to wrap his head around what he was hearing. He decided to play nice for the time being since the new comer was part werewolf and he didn’t exactly feel like being bitten again. “Oh-kay. I’m Kai … um Malachai .. Parker. ” he said flinching at his full name.“Wait … how are you all three ? I thought you could only be a hybrid like me , a witch / vampire or a werewolf / vampire… ” he trailed off. Y/N laughed and sat on the couch. Something in the way she laughed - so carefree so light it made Kai smile. She really was different and she had said 'we’ instead of 'i’ when she had mentioned getting out of the Prison World. Maybe between the two of them they can actually figure out something. “It’s a long and complicated story , which I promise to tell as soon as you tell me more about yourself. You don’t seem like someone who can do something that awful to be sent in a place like this.” she said looking in his eyes noticing how somehow they had gotten even bluer and a little warmer than they had been the first time she had seen them. “You’d be surprised…” he trailed off walking to sit on the other end of the couch. Kai folded his hands together suddenly nervous the second she finds out what he had done , the whole 'we’ thing would just go away and he’d be stuck for all eternity alone.  "It’s not the first time I’ve been sent to a place like this. It all started in 1994 , May 9th … when I killed most of my siblings. I was born without my own magic and when my parents figured it out , they isolated me… Called me an abomination…“ he said looking at his hands , fearing the look on Y/N’s face. "My twin sister and I were supposed to merge after our 22nd birthday , but my father had other plans. He and my mother kept having children until another twin set was born , making sure their defective twin won’t get a chance to become the leader of the coven…” “Wait… sorry to interrupt. What do you mean 'merge’ ?” she asked confused. Kai looked up , seeing nothing but curiosity in her eyes. He relaxed a bit and continued the story of his life. “In my coven , the Gemini coven , it is tradition after the twins turn 22 years old to merge their strength. The stronger one wins and the weaker one dies. Except my parents feared me and what I can do , so they brought up a set of back up twins. When I figured it out , I guess my anger won over and I killed my little sister and brothers , stabbed my twin with a hunting knife and tried to kill the other twins. To save my other brother and sister’s lives , my twin agreed to do the merge the next day , except she had gotten rid of her magic and it was all a set up. My own father sent me to a Prison World , stuck reliving May 10th 1994 for all eternity.” he paused. “Unable to die no matter how many times I tried to kill myself or what ways I used. Unable to escape because I didn’t have any magic. Eventually I got out , merged with my other brother instead of my twin and became the leader of the Gemini against all odds… Then got stuck in another Prison World where I met these awesome people - the heretics , vampire / witch hybrids. After we escaped 1903 , I lost it again and …  killed my twin sister and her unborn twins on her wedding day along with the entire coven , turning myself into what I am right now. Of course things went sideways when I got killed less than 24 hrs later , spent 4 years in Hell - literally , before finally getting out and ending up stuck in a Prison World again.”  Kai finished and laid back on the couch , his hand on his face. Now Y/N will definitely run away screaming or bite me or .. he thought. He felt her hands on his hand pulling it off his face. He dared look at her and saw no fear , only understanding… and something else , but he wasn’t sure what it was exactly. “Why aren’t you running away ?” he asked confused , sitting up suddenly. “I just told you I murdered my entire family and you are still sitting here … Aren’t you afraid I’d kill you too ?” Y/N sighed. Kai’s story sounded strangely familiar to the one of her friend Klaus. His parents had also called him an abomination and turned him into something he wasn’t. Suddenly she wrapped her hands around him. “I’m sorry your family was so messed up they didn’t see how lucky they were to have you there. You are not a monster nor an abomination. You are just you - Kai.” Kai didn’t pull away , just awkwardly stood there for a few moments unsure what to do. Probably no one has ever hugged him before. she thought “Tell you what , we are going to be friends , best friends !” she said excitedly. “Aaand … we are getting out of here. There has to be a way right ?” “You’d let a murderous psychopath free ? After all I just told you ?” Y/N simply nodded. “There is good in everyone and I can feel there is good in you. And there is two of us now. I am sure we can figure a way out… until then - got anything to drink or should I stop by the hospital , get some blood bags ?” Kai smiled nervously at her. Compassion. That had been the other thing in her eyes , he figured out. In a flash he brough two blood bags from the fridge in the kitchen and sat back on the couch , looking at her expectantly curious to hear her story. “Thanks.” she said taking one of the blood bags from his hands and sighed. “I was born in a family of witches , except no one knew that the werewolf gene was a part of my father’s bloodline. I was the first one to make that discovery. … There was a car accident. Me and my friends were coming back from this party and the road was wet from the rain. The tires slid on the road and the car got smacked against a tree. I was the one driving … my best friend was sitting next to me , her head was bleeding. … by the time the ambulance got there , it was too late. Next full moon - I turned in the middle of family dinner. My parents freaked out and kicked me out.” said Y/N starring at the blood bag in her hands. For a long moment she didn’t say a word. Kai didn’t want to interrupt her so he kept quiet. “I went to the mountains to be with other werewolfs , to find a new family. And that’s where I met Klaus Mikaelson. He turned me into a hybrid … well , a thrybrid. Even he didn’t see this coming. Klaus took me in , welcomed me into his family and pretty much became like a father to me.” “You know Klaus Mikaelson ?” Kai asked surprised. “Wait … what about Bonnie Bennett ? Stefan and Damon Salvatore ?” Y/N nodded. “I know Klaus and I’ve crossed paths with Bonnie at family gatherings - we are very distant relatives , not a lot of blood… and I’ve met the Salvatores. They have a complicated relationship with Klaus. How do you know them ?” Kai laughed nervously. “It’s a long story for another day. Let’s just say they are the reason I am stuck here …”                                   *                    *                    * It took Kai about a two weeks to start trusting Y/N completely. He always wondered if she was just pretending but in the end he realised that’s just who she is. Kind , loving … if he didn’t know she was a thrybrid , he’d think she was human because that’s how she acted. There weren’t many things to do in the Prison World and when they were taking a break from trying to find a way out , they’d watch a movie on the DVD or go for a walk. Sometimes when he had a nightmare , because those haunted him still , she’d be there by his side in a flash doing whatever was necessary to comfort him. Kai found himself craving her company all the time , being drawn to her and at first he didn’t realise what was happening until the day  Y/N had fallen from the top of the clock tower. They were trying to locate the right spot to use the Ascendant that day , going around town and the second she fell and hit the ground , Kai felt like he was dying himself. He jumped down after her , noticing she wasn’t moving. Y/N had broken her neck falling to the ground. Kai knew she’d be back but the feeling he had gotten , the though of losing her in any way had made him realise he is in love with her.   Kai lifted her up bridal style and carried her back to his house , letting her rest on the couch. His first true friend , the only person to ever truly accept him for who he is without judging him or trying to change him in any way. “I can’t believe it ..” he muttered to himself a small smile showing on his face while brushing her cheek with the back of his hand. He waited by her side , never leaving her alone for a second until she woke up. “Arhh …” Y/N said rubbing her neck , “That was fun.” she said sarcastically before starting to laugh slowly getting on her feet. Kai tackled her with a tight hug. He had never had anything he feared losing so much and the relief he felt hearing her voice , seeing the spark in her eyes overwhelmed him. He wasn’t a hugging person , at least he never had been until he met her. Somehow she awoke a part of him he didn’t even know existed. “I thought I lost you … I … I was so worried.” “Never. You will never lose me Kai. It was just a nasty fall… ” she said placing a kiss on his cheek. “I think we found the right spot. Why are you looking at me like that ?” she asked noticing Kai’s grim look. Kai sat on the sofa , looking at the ground. He wanted to tell her but he was scared so he decided to tell her the other thing on his mind. “I .. I am not sure I know how to live in the real world. All my life I’ve been isolated , alone and … when we get out… You will .. leave to be with your friends.” Y/N sat next to him , taking his hand. “Haven’t you been listening to me ? I am not going to leave you , Malachai. We are a team… and I promise to help you and teach you how to live in the real world again , how to feed on people without killing them.” Y/N tilted his chin , meeting his eyes. “You are my best friend , Malachai. I’ll be there for you , always and forever, no matter what.” Kai gave her a small smile realising she used the Mikaelson’s family bond. He knew the meaning of it and his heart skipped at beat at realising how much she cared about him. He gazed into her eyes for a moment , wishing he was brave enough to kiss her , then instead he pulled her into another hug. “Lots of hugging , I love it.” Y/N said smiling , her arms wrapping around Kai. “Never trust a hug. It’s just a way to hide your face.” he said , laughing nervously.

THREE WEEKS LATER

After finally locating the right spot and finding the right spell they tried to get out. Things didn’t go well and they tried the next day again and again never giving up. Both of them were powerful witches , but they seemed to lack the needed strength. Kai looked grimly at the ground trying not to get upset and snap into his murderous tendencies again. He didn’t want her to seem him like this. “Hey …” said Y/N , her hand touching his shoulder. “We will get out. Tomorrow is another day and I am sure this time it will work.” Kai looked up at her , meeting her hopeful eyes with his watery ones. Y/N sighed and pulled him into a hug. He felt broken , she could see it in his eyes and wanted to fix it somehow. She hated seeing him like that. He wrapped his arms around her taking a deep breath feeling his frustration drain away slowly. “Tomorrow?” “Tomorrow.” The next day Kai got up before Y/N and made her breakfast. It was their last day in the Prison World and he wanted to remember it as a happy one. Part of him felt like he’d lose her as soon as they got out , regardless of every single time she had told him that would never happen. “Morning.” Y/N said tiptoeing downstairs into the kitchen. “Wooaw ! That’s some feast you have prepared , any special reason?” Kai smiled back at her , holding her chair for her. “Nope , I am just happy… that’s all.” Y/N smiled , taking a few strawberries from a platter across the table. Kai had outdone himself this morning - pancakes , waffles , bacon , scrambled eggs , chocolate covered strawberries , freshly squeezed orange juice and those were the things closest to her… “I love seeing you happy.” she said smiling. He looked up at her and smiled back at her. “Are you ready to get out of this place ? Because we are … getting out … today. I can just feel it.” After breakfast they headed for the Grill’s roof , where seemed to be the right spot.  Y/N and Kai held hands and with the other they held the Ascendant , waiting for the exact moment to do the spell. “Ready ?” Kai nodded and they began chanting the spell over and over again.Not stopping for a moment. All of the sudden the world disappeared around them and they found themselves in the middle of a very crowded street , colourful leafs being blown around their feet from the cool autumn air. Y/N looked around , a wide smile on her face realising the spell had worked. She looked at Kai who had the same wide smile on his face , his eyes glowing. He pulled her into a hug , spinning her around in the middle of the street both of them laughing. “We did it ! We got out !” said Kai , pure happiness in his voice. He reached for a stranger passing them by , stopping them. “Excuse me , what day are we ?” The man looked confused at them , a little annoyed he had been stopped so abruptly having to hold his heavy shopping bags in his hands. “Wednesday , November 22nd , 2017 …” the guy said , looking at Kai and Y/N as if they were crazy for not knowing what day it was. Y/N punched playfully Kai in the shoulder after the guy had continued on his way. “That means Thanksgiving is tomorrow. Home just in time for your favourite holiday.” she smiled at him. “C'mon. I am taking you to meet my family.” ___________________________ MASTERLIST March / April 2017 MASTERLIST MAY 2017 ___________________________
