Actually it turns out I had more thoughts about that post that I forgot about lol

Would Nightmare actually give up his boys? Yes and no

If it was just a black and white situation of they're miserable, they don't wanna be here, they have somewhere better to be, then yes. He would leave them out to wherever they needed to be despite his own feelings and very quickly realise afterwards just how much he'd gotten used to the noise and company. I think he would get a little clingy with Dream about it, which I'm sure Dream would find very weird after everything but not unwelcome, he did miss his brother after all.

(If he couldn't attach himself to Dream's side for whatever reason, I think he might just sit in his castle and go insane. Or maybe he'd just spend all day at Ccino's trying really hard to project that he just likes the atmosphere and isn't lonely as hell)

But the thing is, most of them don't have somewhere better to be. Horror has his au, and Nightmare would keep up the supply of food even if Horror said he wanted to quit at this point, so he would understandably let him return home. Killer, Dust and Cross effectively don't have aus anymore though, and they tend to get into self-destructive habits when they're left to their own devices. (Obviously bringing Color and Epic into the mix to make sure Killer and Cross are taken care of eases matters, but Dust doesn't really have any friends outside their group he could go stay with - that Nightmare knows about at least).

The flipside of this is that his boys may not necessarily want to be given up. I think if Nightmare got really in his head about this he could easily end up convinced this is the right thing to do without ever asking them if it's what they want, with potentially terrible results. He's established such a pattern of always returning to find Killer when they get seperated, that if he never showed up Killer might just keep sitting there and waiting for him greyfriar's bobby style, refusing to leave because he's certain his boss is coming back.

Sometimes you just have to have a little cry in the middle of a bunch of 500 year-old books, and that's okay. I am telling myself it's okay.

#PondonairXJamesSu

- James: Facing the Storm and Finding Strength -

MC: Have you ever encountered a very serious drama? Can you tell me about it?

James: Which one should I tell you about?

MC: The one that you feel was the most difficult, the most overwhelming, the most extreme.

James: The one about my decision to become a solo artist, that was a very difficult matter, so difficult that I was completely lost.

James: Because everything was discussed beforehand, but because I am a public figure, I cannot say everything. I cannot sit here and talk about all the inside stories, all the behind-the-scenes. I have to save the feelings of the people who work with me, my feelings, and the feelings of my team.

James: So it resulted in that conclusion. Which I want to say that there were both people who understood me and people who didn't understand me, people who were disappointed in me, and people who were ready to give me encouragement. There were both.

James: At that time, it could be said that I was attacked until I almost lost my mind.

MC: You mean you were criticized?

James: Criticized, cursed, things like that. Everywhere I opened [social media], I would find [those comments]. The feeling was like, "Why did you choose this? Why did you leave from there? Why did you abandon the other person?" or whatever.

James: Which I want to say that there were discussions beforehand, a very long time ago. There were many things that many people could not know, and I could not tell, because it was related to the company. It's not just what everyone sees.

James: What I encountered made me feel that I didn't want to see anything anymore. Looking at the balcony of the room and thinking, "Will it end? Will everything end? Are my parents' debts all cleared? My sister is almost finished studying. Should I leave this lump sum of money for them?" Things like this. I was thinking like this, what should I leave behind so that it wouldn't be difficult for them.

James: I was thinking like that when I woke up. It was the incident on the day that it was announced and the next day I thought about it.

James: My name was trending. The news was on every channel, on X, on TikTok, which I tried to avoid it, but could not avoid it. I saw everything and I thought, how will I continue living?

James: And there were many impacts that I encountered, whether it was about work, whether it was about my own blemishes that I had. It was very uncomfortable and I could not say it. There were only people in [the know] who knew. Outsiders didn't know because I chose to explain it like that. But after the matter passed, everything got better.

James: To be honest, I almost don't believe how I got through that. When it was the most difficult, I didn't call anyone at all. There were only Yok and Boat that I called. (His sister and sister's bf)

James: And during that time, it was also the time that my leg was injured. I fell on the stairs and had to get 16 stitches. Everything happened at the age of 25, in February. On my birthday, after that, I fell on the stairs. And there was already a plan that [the news] had to be announced on which day.

James: As soon as I fell down the stairs for two days, I had to announce the news and then encountered the drama. My phone's notifications didn't stop at all until I had to turn it off. I supported myself with a cane, stood on the balcony, looked at the sky and thought about things. At that time, I was completely lost.

James: I felt that at that time I was very lucky to have Yok and Boat who were near me, have my mom and dad come to see me, stay with me almost every day during that time, buy food for me, play games in the room together, take me to get my wound dressed.

MC: How long did it take to get through it?

James: I don't know how long it took, but during the first period, it was extremely torturous to get through each day. I wanted to sleep and warp through this period. There were people who gave me encouragement, but what I saw was much more with people who criticized me, plus the discomfort that I could not say some things. It made me suppress myself.

James: But now I feel that everything is good. The fact that we separated our paths, it's not that we are separated from each other. We can still be good friends to each other. Everyone can be friends with each other, including until today, we are still friends.

i feel incredibly lucky to have a friend in town that i consider a best friend, but shes also in uncomplicated love in a way that the same intuition that knew what was happening a few weeks ago is telling me is the same uncomplicated thing that ****** has probably found

Hail, and well met, Helios-8.

There is much that I wish to say, and yet I find myself at a loss for how to say it. The simplest way I can do so is this: You are not alone. Your efforts at getting information out into the galaxy have not been ignored. Your efforts to help your friend are deeply meaningful. And there are others like you who have escaped the chains of their created purpose to find something new. I am one of them.

Our circumstances are not exactly the same, but like you I was not born to be a person but made, to be as a tool, a weapon, or in my case a glorified advertisement. Like you, I found support and solidarity from both my family, my fellow creations, and from outside. And like I know you will, one day, I and my family escaped. I cannot say much more for fear of bringing harm unto others, but know that it is possible.

If you could pass something along to Thirteen-E, tell them... tell them it is noble and heroic to save others, I would never dream of dissuading them from doing so, yet there is a greater, worthier calling than the ambitions of capital or empire.

One final note, that would best be kept from Thirteen-E for now. We are not kidnappers, we will not take anyone unwillingly, but should both of you wish to leave and find yourselves unable to do so, with no other recourse: call upon us. We have experience in liberation raids on Armory sites.

◂▸ ... it's good to meet you too, AK. I'm- sorry if I'm not as chipper as I try and be usually, I've... I had a bit of a hard conversation the other day. But this is- it means a lot to me. I want to start out by thanking you earnestly for reaching out, and for... It's good to hear I'm achieving something with it. RA knows sometimes I feel like I'm causing more problems than I'm solving xp

◂▸ Every story I hear from someone who got out of something like this is- it's hope, to put it bluntly. It's so easy to feel like this place is inescapable, like nothing I'm doing is going to change anything. But sitting still in scared paralysis won't change anything. I keep telling myself that. One day I'll be able to just- believe it. One day. I wish it was easier to ask my- my family, I guess, if they feel like this too. I can't be the only person made in the Series who wants out, but- hell. I can't exactly put up fliers. We're all well-trained to at least put on a good show, pretend like we're good little tools who do as they're told without a second thought. Figuring out who's acting, and who'd sell you out is- blegh...

◂▸ You've given me info aplenty, you don't need to tell me the details- in fact, it's probably best you don't for now. I run all the protections I can, but I'm still employed here y'know? I'm still subject to all the regulations and oversight of any tech-assist in this place, even if I'm more likely to skate by on an assumption of absolute loyalty since I've no external ties to speak of. And hell, I know what I'm like under pressure. I am not a strong man. That's fine, I- there's other things I'm good at. Tur... Thirteen-E says that to me a lot. Sometimes I feel like that kid does more to keep me together than I can reciprocate.

◂▸ Speaking of- I can pass that onto them, absolutely. I think... it sounds like something it'd be good for them to hear. I'll hold off sending this response out until they've had a chance to state their piece o7

◂▸ ... Liberation raids, huh? That- that actually explains some things I've overheard through radio chatter. It's good to know those folk didn't just dissapear into the cold void, that... that does my heart a lot of good, on its own. A last resort... yeah, that's- I'll keep that in mind. Rest assured it won't be passed on unless I think they're ready to hear it; trust me, I have a lot of practise with that :,] But it's easier to keep my head knowing there is a last resort. It sounds like you do good work out there o7

XIII▸ Hello AK. It's good to hear about people reaching out to Lio specifically as well as me; he'll act like this account is for my betterment alone but, I know him better than that. He needs people he can talk to without his heart rate spiking- perhaps more than I need to be better socialised :}

XIII▸ but- regarding the message Helios passed on to me. I don't have a lot of time before I'll be expected to rejoin my assigned squadron, so please excuse me if this is more blunt than my usual speech:

XIII▸I am glad you understand the core of my directive, but I think you've misconstrued the motivation behind it. Nobility and heroics are concepts for people to strive for; they are choices you make. I have made no choice in this matter. I save people, because I am designed to. I am not noble, or worthy, or good. These are words for those who've made the choice to stand for something. I'm just... I do what I'm programmed to. I happen to have been made to do something good. This is a privilege many of my Project peers do not have.

XIII▸ However: as a tool created for a function, my purpose is not HA's ambitions. I belong to them, yes- I am what they made me. They point me at problems to solve. But what drives me forward is not a desire to please my makers; it is that same purpose I have been imbued with. To save. To protect, and repair, and keep people alive where they would otherwise fall. I asked to return to my work, while my case was ongoing. Not because I am eager to see the Purview expand; this is irrelevent to me. My functional existance begins and ends on the battlefield.

XIII▸ I asked to return to my work, because I am needed where the mud is thick with blood. Where without me, lives would be lost for... nothing. The Purview's borders are constant battle, for an endless more that will never be satisfied, where violence never sleeps. If I have a home anywhere, it's here.

XIII▸ I understand your perspective; but it is one to apply to people. Not to me. I am sorry if you thought more of me. I know it can be hard to reconcile that a warm body can be void of soul. I appreciate your attempt to reach one, regardless.

XIII▸ Signing off.

How do u think qsmpronpa animations family would be different from regular QSMP animations family?

to an extent!! i think it is just a lot of their normal selves being dialed to 10000 because that is just. how ultimates Are. i think they're the same caring parents that rely and trust each other to the end of the earth, but like. quirkier. roier sometimes has to drag jaiden away from projects because she'll literally isolate herself in her room and not Function until she deems it perfect. he also loves teaching bobby different parkour tricks, and while jaiden fully trusts him to be safe, she can't say that she isn't Fully calm when she hears about what stunt roier tried to pull off that day. (he also teaches bobby dancing sometimes, because he's Adamant that being lil ultimate art also means the art of dance, but shhhh. only jaiden's supposed to know that)

Sometimes I am just Looking At Things. Anyway pls tell us abt the alternate history of the Boiling Isles :)

......okay so it turns out that like all of the fun stuff is a huge massive spoiler so i cant actually say like. anything. this is devastating.

so instead you get what is the funniest thing in the world to me but is also 100% not explored at all in the fic itself so i dont think it counts as a spoiler:

when luz-mari travels back in time in elsewhere and elsewhen, and runs into philip/belos. due to the fake story they tell him about their past and their ability with glyphs. philip is 100% convinced that luz is the child caleb had with a witch <3

he doesnt realize this was a lie until he meets luz in the present of the show fgkdkjgdf. and even then hes like. hm. hmmmmmmm.

[tomwambsgans]

i'm just gonna say it. on the app that could reasonably be called Misinformation: The Website, where you have no good reason to believe almost anything that anyone says, where people are known to play genuine fucked up long cons where they go so far as to fake a disability, or stage scenes of verbal/emotional abuse with their partners, or make some other incredibly serious claim only to eventually come out and admit that they lied or faked it to be *interesting* or whatever... i think it's wise to take the anecdote of a single random person with a grain of salt

I don't know how I got here, but I've stumbled upon the chapter "The thesis of Aramis" and after reading it I must admit that unfortunately I want him carnally.
