What the FUCK just happened

[yb-cringe]

no yknow. i wanna put out there that as much as qjaiden walked pretty willingly into the feds building i also wanna say she was not as willing or okay with it as ppl seem to think.

like the whole lead up to this scene is spent with her saying “You’re acting weird!! […] A bad kind of weird!” to Cucurucho and she’s put off by his behavior. So much so that shes going to tell Cellbit about it- which she usually does Not do

Then, of course, when she actually is walking to the building, she’s talking a lot and very casual, but the moment that door starts to slide up behind her she leaps out last second.

And when she’s in the hall with Cucurucho she takes extra time to find the the warp plate OUT of there and stare at it SEVERAL times.

Then of course, she doesn’t go into ANY of the rooms unless Cucurucho goes in first specifically because, “[…] Not seein’ any buttons on the other side, so I will not…”

TL;DR—

qJaiden absolutely knew she was in at least a Little danger here. She was scoping her exits, she was paranoid, and uneasy about how cucurucho was acting.

What comes after that/ her reaction post sever kick is still unknown, maybe it ended up okay, but i hate the idea that she just rolled up there completely Okay with everything that was happening as if there wasnt 100000 red flags she was spotting along the way

Once again Watanuki complains about Doumeki eating so much AND THEN IMMEDIATELY OFFERS HIM MORE FOOD, WITH A SMILE

MOKONA WAS RIGHT ABOUT YOU WATANUKI

But also this is the most dramatic eating shot in the world and I’m suddenly fearful that the cooking student put poison in hers

OH. Or I suppose this is Doumeki realising by taste alone that Watanuki did not prepare this one. 

HE DOES NOT TRUST THIS POTATO.

THIS IS A POTATO OF LIES.

The chapter suddenly ends there without Doumeki explaining but WATANUKI YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GUESS. 

YOU HAVE ALL THE CLUES. YOU’VE BEEN TOLD THIS INFORMATION TWICE IN THIS CHAPTER. 

DOUMEKI ONLY wait what was the precise wording

DOUMEKI ONLY PUTS THINGS IN HIS MOUTH THAT HE UNDERSTANDS

HE CAN ONLY PUT SOMETHING IN HIS MOUTH IF HE BELIEVES IN IT

WAS MOKONA RIGHT ABOUT YOU OR NOT?!?!

Compromise. Im not going to actually WRITE meta but i AM going to lay out a list of things I'm thinking about broadly and thematically and would probably write meta about if i were properly caught up and informed, but is instead influenced much more by early campaign F.C.G:

**edit: no this is kind of meta again. sorry.

- F.C.G grappling with the questions of: being made. purpose. whether it matters if you find your own purpose if you were made with one in mind and you "choose" something else. Can you actually? Does it matter? Is your choice a choice at all?

- Wanting so badly to heal people and help people and the unique fear of waking up and seeing damage done by your own hands. To the same people you wanted so badly to help. You extend healing and you offer comfort or kind words but all the while, in your core is a tightness. In your core is a danger. How much good do you need to do to get the blood off your chassis? Can you, at all?

- Metal body. Metal hands. A little wheel. You were a turtle once and it felt so wondrous to breathe. You try out tongues or little wooden legs or whatnot but it always comes back to an inorganic metal body and empty insides no matter if youre filling them with liquids or secret goods to smuggle or pastries (faux warmth). Maybe everything like wooden legs dangling off a metal body. All for show.

- A coin in hand. Looking for a higher power. Thinking about choice. Deferring choices.

- You love your friends, so much. You love people being kind to each other. You love your boyfriend and their wonderful way of thinking. You love being alive. Even when you doubted you were at all. You love, truly and deeply.

- Ashton raging at F.C.G for being a martyr. For aching for a good enough reason to get himself hurt or killed or blown up. Ashton looking at F.C.G knowing they're all messed up inside and trying so hard to stop them from letting it destroy them.

- Ashton always worried about how they're always trying to find a big enough cause, a good enough reason.

And so with those things, I remembered about F.C.G:

- F.C.G looking at their friends all down. Ashton laid out unmoving.

- F.C.G with something awful in their core. Ready to spill out. The same something awful they were always worried about. They were always aware of.

- F.C.G always looking for that reason. For that bigger and better cause.

- F.C.G always feeling like they didn't understand purpose, like it was so. unattainable- finally, briefly, startlingly- sure. Finally free of doubt. Their friends down and something awful and destructive in their core and one last thing they can do to maybe make things worth it, and the ability to choose it. They were made for something. They chose what to do with it.

- F.C.G finding that reason. F.C.G making that call. F.C.G thinking it was worth it.

- I think because of him, they succeeded. They won. That is certain.

- I think. "Worth it". Is always a subjective thing.

- I think. A self sacrifice is never just one person giving everything up. A self sacrifice, unfortunately- is one person making a choice.

And everyone else caught, in the blast radius.

[unionizedwizard]

every turali: "oh of course. the city of gold. a legendary paradise where all abide in peace and plenty, suffused with a golden glow. nobody who is said to have found it ever came back though and people died in droves attempting to reach it"

wol and alphinaud getting eulmore flashbacks in the background:

Oh oh oh here we go, introducing the thread of The Things That Watanuki Doesn’t Remember. Because he made a wish. 

I can’t remember if he knows that yet, but at the very least it came up twice in Tsubasa. 

It means what I said. With a smile.

File this under: Things that Clow Reed would say

I love when Watanuki so clearly has the influence of his family coming through, especially since he's so incredibly disconnected from them that he doesn't even know who they are - but the traces are there! He'll still be connected even if he doesn't know it.

And we love to see the growth! The shared lesson that all the Tsubasa Family and Watanuki are all learning at the same time - that you matter actually, even if you don’t value yourself, because other people care for you. And diminishing yourself is just hurting them. 

But here we have Watanuki who has concluded that even if he wasn’t supposed to be here, and even if he doesn’t remember why, he wants to stay now because he has people he cares for. And we love that for him! 

Complete with spooky Yuuko smoke stream creeping through his fingers!

OH AND EVEN BETTER. Watanuki starts to get self conscious about how his true feelings might sound to Doumeki and immediately gets defensive, but Doumeki ignores that immediately just doubles down on the sentiment. 

He wants him to commit to what he just said. 

HE WANTS TO KEEP YOU WATANUKI YOU HAVE TO PROMISE HIM NOW.

this party really needs to pair What The Fuck Is Up With That with a zone of truth spell

you know what they removed that I miss the most? Percy dragging Grover into CHB for the first time, incoherent, hurt, crying for his mom, and then collapsing from exhaustion. when I was 12 that shook me to my CORE
