some more spoiled milk characters for fun. Cross's upstars neighbor , and Geno. :]

[readingloveswounds]

cant believe i was making connections i'd use to slam dunk my argument in the future.....amazing

[lychgate]

i haven't posted a really poorly drawn thought piece adventure in years so here's a brief update!

hope i hit the read more thing right oh well anyway:

"Spent a lot of time applying for a home loan. I had to pay -fucked up- to have a convincing income for a decent loan. It was very confusing but cody helped me a lot."

"Cody proposed to me It felt wonderful that someone wanted to share their time and love with me. Cody proposed Anthrohio weekend, it's the con we really met at."

"We saw the listing that sunday morning before we had to go to our table to vend."

"It was a perfect house. We were the first people to view it and we immediately put in a bid. And we got the house. Many papers to sign."

"Moving was not easy. It took 2 whole months. Cody was out of town helping their grandma recover from a big surgery and we had to sell their old house/move that as well as move from my apartment. ALSO THE PETS: My cat dick wolf + Cody's 3 birds. Until we could get some doors installed and separate the house, I had to live between two places every day to feed and care for them."

"Still, life was good. I bought my first house! It has a swing in the backyard. I've never had my own backyard. I've never even lived somewhere that had trees (in said yard) It felt nice. Living together with the love of my life and 4 pets."

"Through all this i never closed my shop. How could I? It was my income, and I just bought a house. It needed to stay open. Moving that much inventory, setting up a new office, the house is a nice size but it's not huge, so, very careful organizing had to be executed if I wanted my apparel laid out right. (Which I totally managed to do)"

"but i Did get really good at baking pies. the two are connected."

"sacred_crow on instagram!"

"there's like 25 of u bastards i would absolutely die for, and about 75 more that i would go nearly dead over."

"We have an extra bedroom so I got to turn it into a toy room. There's games, crafts, stuffed animals, movies, a sick loft I painted the shit out of. It rules. It brings me a lot of Joy."

"Under the loft we have a dug out where we can watch VHS tapes. I love to sit with Cody and watch movies and play Donkey Kong."

"I am not good at Banjo Kazooie, but Cody is. Cody is so talented. I love watching them play games. (Depicted is not banjo kazooie but donkey kong country 2 as we are currently playing that. I'm good at DKC but I will still swear and make sounds like im about to throw up)"

"Half the basement is finished, so we turned it into a dual office space. It rules. Cody has a whole side for fursuit crafting, and my side is mostly my gigantic gamer computer area/shipping area. I took a whole wall to put all my non apparel merch like pins charms and notebooks also. for hte love of god someone buy the notebooks they take up more space then i wanted"

"I love to look over from my computer and see cody working. They always look so focused, yet peaceful."

"It's winter but it rains. I miss the snow. I lived by the lakes growing up. I miss piles of snow. It's just wet and cold here. Yes i'm quite aware of global warming"

"I got kicked off both my health and car insurance. I fixed the car one but health insurance still no. All my meds have gone away. The past few months have been hard. I think way too much lately. I can't get myself to do anything. -this is a whole page of downer bullshit and i cropped it!-"

"We had a leaky ceiling that took a month to fix. Cody did all the work because they are smart and kind."

"Oh yeah I had my uterus removed earlier this year. They let me keep it. It's in a jar in my living room."

"We threw a very nice halloween party. I was the green m&m. Cody was the monarch."

"We adopted 8 beautiful kiwis from a crane machine at the mall. we spent over 100 monies to get them but it was worth it."

"

It was a rough year. My health is in decline. Our country may try to end my life for being trans soon (lol?) I am in hte middle of a colossal mental breakdown of my core fundamental behavior (depression advanced) BUT ALSO: I am engaged to my favorite person. We bought a house together. I'm beginning a new chapter of my life. I have a swing in my backyard. The negatives suck but there are also many positives. The cycle of emotions is immense, but there is beauty in it. There is beauty in life, and isn't that wonderful?"

Okay I'm thinking - very dangerous, I know.

Luo Binghe was away and pretty much completely out of contact with human life in the Endless Abyss. He's popping up in people's dreamscapes, sure, but it's still a dream at the end of the day and it's not an exact reflection of reality. Things he learn from people's minds still have to be taken with a grain of salt; he knows from Qing Jing's teachings that one man's truth isn't the whole truth. And from Shen Qingqiu himself, Luo Binghe knows how easily one can convince themselves that the truth isn't the real truth but a lie; delusion is a powerful force.

Anyways, what I'm saying is that Luo Binghe was away for 3 years. All sorts of things could have happened in the cultivation world! It's basically like being in a coma for three years!

You know what would be the worse year to fall into a coma? 2019.

(Can you see where I'm going with this?)

It would be freaking hilarious if Luo Binghe falls into the endless abyss in the cultivation world's equivalent of 2019, an epidemic hits human civilization, and Luo Binghe returns, none the wiser of what happened, but he's sure as fuck wondering why face veils have become such a Fashion Statement that Everyone is wearing it. By then, the illness that had struck most of the human town and cities isn't as bad so it's not so talked about - also it's been a couple years now so everyone is used to it - but it's still a Concern. Not everyone can be rich enough or well connected enough to get the special medicine from the Qian Cao peak to stave off catching the illness.

Luo Binghe is also pretty sure everyone can tell he's a demon because they keep looking and glaring at him. He's very self conscious of his skills of maintaining his glamour hiding his demonic attributes.

(No, Luo Binghe, it's because you cough and sneeze without a face covering on. And also because you aren't maintaining 2 meter social distancing rules. StoP TOUCHING anD insPecTinG eaCh FruiT and vEgetablE at hte markets omfg are you trying to spread your germs everywhere and get people sick!!! )

Hu and Nico culprit+accomplice Theory (Also Eden was tricked into helping)

Okay, I know I've been extremely inconcistent with who I think the culprit is, however I think I've locked in who it is mainly through looking at Youtube comments and piecing out what works the most. Again I feel like it's a good thing to consider all of your options here.

I think Hu is the culprit and Nico is the accomplice.

The main point for this would be, that we know 100 pourcent now that attempted murder of Ace and the murder of Arei are connected without a doubt.

This means the person HAD to know exactly how Ace was killed, and considering how the crime scene was set out when Teruko and Eden enterred the room. I'd argue hte only person that could be responsible is the person that is behind the murder of Ace.

Because I mean if it was Eden why even try to do a murder similar to how Ace was killed and how would she exactly know how the murder worked.

(I'll explain why Eden took the tape later)

However it can't just be Nico because otherwise the trial would just be over, so that means that we have to find out who else could've been responsible for Ace's almost death.

I've already made a theory about how the murder of Ace wasn't actually done by Nico, mostly because how we see Nico with Ace's body VS how the crime had to have been done just doesn't match.

But I was honestly kinda lost on the motivation especially because Nico admitted to it so it would mean that, either, they gave up on trying to make themselves innocent OR they are covering up for someone else.

And with everything that's happened, I think it's the ladder.

Now, who else could've been responsible for Ace's murder ? Well, I don't think this is much of a headscratcher but it has to be Hu.

Why ? Well, because of the murder weapon

Unless you could argue that anyone could've gotten hold of Hu's weapon, which I personally pretty much doubt, unless it's Nico but we've gotten right back to the start. I don't think Hu would be stupid enough to just leave her weapon hanging there, joke very much intended.

So this mean, likely, that Hu ended up trying to kill Ace with Nico perhaps even being aware of Hu's intentions, although it's possible they had second thoughts (as we see Nico removing the string from Ace's neck).

Now, I don't know how to really structure this theory so I'll just write a couple bullet points and explain how Nico and Hu killing Arei happened before I get into the forsaken "Eden taking the tape and clothes" thing.

How would both of them get the water ? :

Hu has an alibi for taking the water as she was with Eden the entire time, however Nico had complete access over the water as they were hanging out in the relaxation room a lot. Meaning they'd have the most access to the water.

What about Nico and Hu's alibi ? :

I'd argue their alibis make both of them more suspicious, the first batch of people who have alibis were pointed out by J which are David, Veronika and J herself. There was no mention of Hu and Nico there.

However Hu then comes out a while later as soon as Ace accuses Nico, that actually both her and them have alibis. Which if they're the culprit and accomplice it would be really easy for them to vouch for each other's alibi, especially considering it doesn't seem like J noticed Hu and Nico waking up early which is very suspicious.

Why the hanging ? :

I think it's an important point because why would the murderer be so hung up, pun very much intended again, on such a specific murder tactic.

Now this might sound dark but depending on how Hu tried to kill herself it's very possible she has a lot of knowledge about it. In fact Whit's long and suspicious rant about how hangings work makes me think the murderer knows a lot about hanging as well.

The Turpentine ? (I FORGOT TO FINISH THIS PART WHEN I POSTED THE THEORY HOW DID NO ONE TELL ME) :

I've talked about in my "Nico didn't actually try to kill Ace" theory that the murder of Arei would need her to be incipacitated, especially since it would be impossible to really get Arei into any sort of mechanism with her concious. This means the culprit for both murders used Rose's Turpentine, as we know it was used in Ace's attempted murder. This again hints heavily that the culprits are the same.

Let's now get to the elephant in the room

The ball of clothes and the tape... clearly this has to mean Eden has to have done it right ??

Unless she took it for other reasons.

Hu asked her for it

I mean, Hu was the one to tell Eden about the clothes and we know for a fact that Hu was with Eden the entire nighttime, the day before hte murder was committed. They were also conversing a lot.

It would make a lot of sense for Hu to ask Eden to give her the clothes and the tape. I mean the murderer clearly wanted to frame Eden, so how likely would it be that they would set things up in a way that would make Eden look extremely bad.

We know Eden and Hu have a close relationship, Eden admitted they talk often about how to stop the killing game which makes Hu manipulating Eden make a lot of sense personally.

I also want to talk about the thing that now makes Eden innocent now that we know about the murder method pretty much entirely.

The rules of the BDA announcement

Now you might say, and I've used this argument before, the murder could have just looked away and it wouldn't count right ?

But I mean....why ? At this point there doesn't seem to be any grounds that the murder was done to avoid this rule and it's such a situational rule especially since Teruko decided to pick two people out of the blue that it's just... why would the murder think about that ? Especially with how we're seeing the murder being committed, there would be no moment where the murderer really had any reason to look away.

It's just bad luck from Hu's part that Teruko picked Eden to test out this rule.

For the conclusion, why the fuck would Hu and Nico do this ?

While, I don't fully know, I think I'm starting to realize the secrets might not actually be part of the motive. Which I think the running gag is gonna be that every murder is not gonna involve the motive or it involves it in a way different from the motive (Charles fake motive thing).

Hu's whole thing seems to be about wanting to live, she was depressed in the past and wanted to end her life however now she's got a new taste for life. This would be a huge motivation to want to get out of this killing game, especially with how intense the cast has been towards each other it would make sense to want to get out Now.

And also if she's the culprit, this line would make a lot of sense.

For Nico, it's a lot more complicated as to why they'd be an accomplice. Again however I'd argue their secret line would make sense with this theory.

It's possible Hu ended up somehow convincing Nico to do it, I don't think that they were threatened but it was possible they just really weren't in a good mindset especially with how things happened with them in chapter 2.

Anyways, yeah this is my final theory that I'm locking in right now

[three-headed-monster]

to recap:

the 10-1 game to edmonton near the end of the season was heartbreaking to thom

only bested by the "traumatising" tampa bay 8-0 game early in the season, after which he got sent down a little while after

"shout out pat brisson" and he did. twice!

thom spoke about knowing connor bedard through their mutual friend kent johnson and some nhlpa events at hte beginning of the year, there's a whole little section with them talking about the heartbreaker celly that bedard has done

the michigan student section (children of yost) is certified Crazy by bords, and he thinks its insane that people can find other teams' ex girlfriends or tinder profiles, etc to chirp them for it

he went golfing in south carolina early in the off-season, and when the host said "that's such a white thing to do", his response was "oh, i know"

praised boko imama, said he's a different beast

talked about how he loved to chirp at michigan, but doesn't do as much now, in the professional leagues

he's never technically been in a nhl or ahl fight, but does provide some insight into how he chooses a guy to grab onto during scrums (doesn't pick the shortest guy all the time, but also says 'oh shit' if he grabs a big guy)

there's something about the squid game tv show and biscuits? they're making a joke but they're laughing over it, so it's unclear to me what they were trying to convey. maybe that thom is soft like dalgona candy 💀

said that the title of his book would be "bwater" which is a play on his last name (de l'eau in french is "of water" so bordeleau is similar). this is also when he raises his glass all fancy

hates tom holland's spiderman because he's a big iron man fan and he feels like people are connecting the two characters too much now

legitimately goes on a rant about how iron man is one of the best mcu characters, with power to rival all the reality-breaking characters, and also says it's not tony's fault for creating ultron

would want gabriel macht from suits to play him in a movie (although he refers to macht as "the guy who played harvey spector")

[stagefoureddiediaz]

Fun little fact about breaking points/ key moments that are either the end of Bucks relationships or the moment something happens that sets their demise in motion - Buck wears dark green

Abby leaves - dark green plaid shirt

Buck moves into Maddies after he has accepted his break up with Abby (technically this is a bit later as he has moved into Chims and this is him being kicked out of Chims, but it all plays into the same concept!) and the uses of plaid here is also a bit of a nod to that airport costume in my opinion.

Ali breaks up with him

Buck tells taylor he kissed Lucy

Buck ends things with Taylor

I've included this because it felt like a break up of an aspect of Buck and Eddies relationship at this moment - as well as the moment when Buck was being delusional about Natalia and her seeing him. its also the scene where we get the line about not dating people you meet on the job - which feels like foreshadowing for the Buck and Natalia relationship

And now we have this still - I thought it was a green toned black shirt - and it might very well still be, I won't know for sure until we see the scene play out, -but now I'm looking at it on my proper computer screen and not my phone screen at 4am, its looking much more dark green to me and therefore potentially fits into the Buck relationship costume colour way - black with a dark green top layer.

So if this does in fact turn out to be dark green - it either means one of three things - this is connected to a Buck/Natalia break up in some way, or we're going to see some drama and divorce era 2.0 for Buck and Eddies relationship, or this is a scene where we see Buck and Eddie grow closer together.

I tend more towards it being a Buck/Natalia break up related scene which actually doesn't preclude it from also pushing Buck and Eddie closer together! The reason I say that the dark green could be a sign of them growing closer is becuase aside from all the outfits above, there are only two other instances of Buck wearing a dark green - the olive green jumper he wears in 3x11 - the This is Eddies house I'm not really a guest scene,

and then the following episode when they take Chris skateboarding.

both scenes that establish Bucks place in the Diaz boy's life and as part of hte Buckley Diaz family!!

Rise Magic Watch - End Game pt 2

Part 1

Alright, the Dark Armor.

This thing is, in fact, very dangerous. A moment that caught my attention early on is this:

Single finger-flick to send Raph flying. How interesting.

Also it can turn into a drill??? It's metal, I guess, so....

Also, brief aside: I've noted a couple times that there's a decent amount of technology blended with the mystic stuff - Big Mama's hotel, especially. However, Draxum...

"Do not tell Baron Draxum how to use your mouth stick!"

Draxum doesn't know how to use a microphone. Fitting, given his character and how much he hates humans - he probably isolated himself with solely within the mystic environment.

The way Draxum uses the armor is fascinating - becuase he still uses it hte same way he uses his vines, it's just... metal, now. And possibly semi-sentient?

I really don't know what else to call those snake-arm things. They've got eyes and shit. but you see the way he buries his arms into the ground, stretches them out in swirling vine-like formations. The armor is accommodating his fighting-style.... for now.

Because while the armor is powerful.... it also fucks you up.

Like holy shit. They're signalling "something's not right here" with big neon signs - especially those glitch-frames in the last two images.

We then see the boys going "total chaos" with their powers, in an attempt to get at the Jupiter Jim figure.

Raph is... unusually unfocused, for what we've seen from him lately? I'm not sure why he's not forming his second-self. Mikey lights up, completely with laugh-effect.

Leo is actually trailing a LOT of excess energy behind him... but the portals themselves are clean - and both numerous and on-target. I'm so proud of him. These boys have come so far. (Donnie is also great, he's just still snubbing the mystics.)

April deals the final blow, and...

Hm. Don't like that.

I honestly didn't realize just how much... visual foreshadowing there was to the Krang in the show. But it's all over the place if you start looking. An the armor - much like the Krang - wants to consume. To make everything part of it.

But they broke down the armor - victory? Except... well, remember how in Shadow of Evil we noted that the mystic metal is capable of repairing itself? And now the blockage keeping the helmet/tea pot from doing that is gone, so....

Ah.

I'm not actually sure if that connection was intended - the fact that the metal will repair itself without a blockage, rather than the revival just being the result of Draxum's life force - but it tracks, I think.

And that's the end of season one! This has been really interesting so far! Rise definitely is a squishy soft magic system, like I thought, but there's a lot more consistency and set-up than I was expecting? Like things tie together very cleanly, and you can really get a sense for how the world works.

I feel like my "analysis" has devolved into a lot of pointing and waving, but doing a focused watch like this has been a lot of fun anyways.

[moonlight-tmd]

Mermay blitzbee headcanons or story please?

Oh gee, you folks are really into these mermay stuff, huh?

Unfortunatelly I don't have much to offer since I was never interested but I'll try-

Somehow these big sea monsters ended up together in Detroit- I suppose they adapted to be in both sweet and salt water so yeh. One day a little girl is hanging out with her dad at the shore and she runs off and tadah, she meets a funky lemon shark!Bee. Then the rest; orca!Optimus, puffer fish!Ratchet, marilin fish!Prowl and sea turtle!Bulkhead.

Then there's others- the mean ones; great white shark!Megatron, anglerfish!Lugnut, hammerhead shark!Shockwave, mimich octopus!Soundwave catfish!Blackarachnia and finally... flying fish/tiger shark!Blitzwing- an odd combo thought of as ugly but sturdy.

I think the two would separate and occupy the two nearest bodies of water- Autobot tribe is occupying Lake Erie while the Decepticon Tribe inhabits lake Huron.

The two tribes generally try to stay out of each other's ways with with a limited supply of fish it's rather hard not to stay out of conflicts- the con tribe has begun to be aggressive to the bots and certain boats that hunt the remaining fish in the water. That being said the bot tribe is actively trying to keep the cons busy so they both don't get discovered.

One day when Bee was looking around the bridge and the shores for fun human stuff that might have fell in he saw a shadow lurking behind some rocks- upon closer look it was Blitzwing, who literally jumped him in attempt to eat him. Of course Bee was swift to dodge. He started talking/bantering and it was revealed that the odd fish mix was left to starve because the other tribe members thought he was fat enough to get by on lower amount of food. Bee decided to take Blitz for a meal- ever since they met Sari the kid has been bringing them shockingly huge amounts of food at the docks. The feeder was there still and it wasn't much issue getting it open- Blitz ate the whole supply. He thanked the little shark and apologised for trying to eat him and swam off. From then on every other day Blitz would sneak into autobot waters and look for Bee to take him to the feeder.

Over time they started to take liking to one another- one may even spot signs of courting happening if they looked closely. Truth be told, Bee was interested in Blitzwing ever since he saw him- he was a sucked for all the odd and unique things and Blitzwing was all that, although the fact he was trying to eat few of the bots on multiple occasions was a bit alarming. Blitzwing on the other- fin? has been charmed by the tiny yellow sharkie- the curiosity, fun nature and hte kindness he offered made him Blitz's favorite mer soon. The two would meet up outside of the feeding times too, the small Lake St Clair and the rivers that connected it made a great place to hang out without being spotted by either tribe.

It was all going fine until the con tribe noticed Blitz has been putting on weight despite not eating- and it was not starvation swelling. They decided to spy on him and found out he was getting stuffed with the help of the teensy weensy lemon shark. Autobots had ways to get food so of course they invaded into their waters and tried to get it for themselves. Idk what else, there might have been a huge fight over it and then Sari got hurt in the water and yadda yadda the conflict was resolved in a peace agreement to not harm anyone and share food- oh and Sari's half mer thanks to her mother (who died when she was tiny) so she can go hang out w/ the mers in the lake.

I would guess Bee and Blitz have made their courtship public after the agreement and the cons have let him go; while the cons did nothing to better their relationship with him, he's been oddly welcome with the bots. He and Bee are quite a cute oddity.

And yes, he promised to not eat any of them nor the humans.

[mgsdeltasnakeeater]

Would you say people infantilise otacon? Idk, that’s the general vibe I’ve gotten from lurking around bits of the fandom

no hte fandom is always right about otacon all of the time i do not have a gun to my head right now i am not reading a scritp

anyways yes absolutely. i think a lot of the fanbase genuinely dont understand the point of his character, ie breaking the cycle and Doing It Scared. of course, everyone gets their own thing from every character, but it seems they just focus on his characterization from the first game and really zone in on the anime fan aspect of it. show him as some kind of scared asocial teenage weeb. his inability to be outgoing and connect with people is an important part of him, it also happens to be the main thing he works on in the first game, and has made a huge step of progress by the end.

combine that with the general headcanoning of him as a trans man (nothing inherently wrong with that, just a group of people that are treated like actual babies) and pairing him with the characterization of snake being a genuinely sooo cool action hero who takes what he wants (damsel in distress) and youve got a cesspool of bad takes and horrible writing on ao3.

Arcane Season 2 Disconnect

Recently I have trying to reconcile my feeling about the new season of Arcane and I keep coming back to a problem, the enormous gulf between Jinx in season 1 and 2 and the horrific nature of her actions. One thing I have continually seen regarding Jinx is the excuses people make for her citing her traumatic history, probable mental illness etc. Unfortunately such excuses are overblown in my opinion. Jinx has been out of control for years leading up to and during Season 1 Arcane. In what I presume is an redemption arc as seen with her new relationship with Vi in Season 2 Act 2 feels forced and unrealistic especially with Vi. Fundamentally the new season ignores Jinx multiple crimes, abuses and manipulation to create a character utterly disconnected from Season 1. Her trauma and mental illness does not giver the writers an out and said writers disgraceful treatment of Vi in act 2. Vi has saved Jinx's (violent murderous paranoid delusional) life multiple times, once in Season 1, and again in Season 2 and risked her life multiple times to bring Jinx or Powder out of the darkness. Jinx paid her back by trying to kill her, her friend/lover Caitlin, seemingly killing Echo, and plunging the city into chaos, war and death. In short Vi is about as close to a pure hero as one can get. Jinx owes Vi everything including her life and her "Redemptive Arc". She never gives up on Jinx in Season 1, saves her life multiple times (Vi is attacked assaulted and threatened by Jinx multiple times)

My problem is Vi continued trust in her sister, the central theme of Acts 2 and 3 of Season 1 was that Jinx was a wilful reckless murderer lashing out of the world. In short Jinx is not someone you help but someone you stop before they kill again. Vi is told again and again Powder is dead by Echo, Caitlin, and finally, Jinx herself. That is how Season 1 ended with Jinx murdering the Piltover Council as they voted to release Zaun and make peace. And then in Season 2 they give Jinx a kid to humanize her and make her just an eccentric maniac who is on the run from the law for, DOZENS of murders and MULTIPLE acts of terrorism. This is not character inconsistency this is if fan-fic writter made up a completely different version of Jinx for hte show. It is beyond disconnected where is Jinx's paranoia delusions and auditory and visual hallucinations did those magically get better after shooting Silco? And when Caitlin and Vi treat Jinx like the mortal threat she has declared herself to be Jinx lames Vi for pursuing her for trying to bring her to some kind of justice for all of the lives she has snuffed out. When Isha climbed on Jinx to shield her from a well deserved bullet I did not think how this humanized Jinx or showed her as something worth saving but rather how Powder latched onto Silco, how a naive and traumatized child will cling to anything that will the void within them including a killer.

In act 2 I got to see the writers gut Vi's character in order to elevate Jinx's contradictory and rushed redemption. Vi's abandonment of the Under-city is bullshit, I do not expect her to be doing "fine" but rather then some anonymous pit fighting circuit Vi should have joined the Firelights. She knows where they are and I think seek them out as the last connect to her former life. Considering how Echo goes missing in Epiosde 3 I think it would have been interesting for Vi to take a leadership role, something she was seemingly born for in Season 1. Instead once again we see Jinx become a hero figure after terrorizing the Undercity for years as Silco's laughing killer. Finally Vi's acceptance of Jinx back into her life was eye-rolling stupid. Vi clearly believes Jinx is delusional violent and manipulative, she should never have trusted hell Jinx should be forced to earn Vi's trust back. Vi's seeming trust of Jinx in Act 2 is unbelievable trite bullshit and is a disgraceful low for an otherwise excellent TV series.

Nobody has asked about her but I wanna talk about her anyway

This is Antonia; she’s the middle-triplet to the Emile-Antonia-Faure trio

she’s twisted off of Marie, and in battle class, she’d be the DPS, despite being the shortest, smallest, and most ‘innocent’ looking.

She’s a little clumsy, and finds herself in several Situations that honestly, most people really should not have found themselves in. She’s a white cat, but there’s a running joke that she’s secretly a black cat of bad luck but specifically her own bad luck.

She doesn’t go to any canon school to hone her magic; it’s a fanmade school.

She takes after her mother AGGRESSIVELY in appearances, to the degree you can barely tell there was another donor to her genepool-- beyond the personality, that is. Whereas Eva (Mom) is fairly calm and very flowing with her movements, words, and how easily she can take a hit (metaphorical or literal) and keep going, Antonia is a little jarring. She never Starts fights, but boy will she finish them. She’s the sweetheart next door one second, the idol you wish you could catch, and then the next second she’s knee deep in mud shoving one of her brother’s under a log cause they pulled her ear too hard. She’s a hair trigger AND a damsel; able to defend herself without question and wanting protection from someone who will dote on her hand and foot. She is a perfect princess; the rising star of amateur opera. She dreams of getting her throat insured one day--

and she’ll bite you so hard and fast you won’t know what’s happening.

(Or so, that’s how her brothers tell it)

if you ask Faure, she’s a little demon who always has to get her way, but he’d kill and hide a body for her, no questions asked. The two bicker and ‘fight’ constantly, if they had to guess it’s a 1:10 for how many times Emile fights with anyone compared to how many times Antonia and Faure end up pulling tails.  (he loves her deeply, though, and will drop his boy-next-door persona the moment she falls to real harm in order to save or protect her.)

Antonia is a fashionista and a makeup fan, trying to keep up with all the trends and actively posting and browsing around on Magicam. She doesn’t have the kind of pull that people like, say, Vil does-- but she tries her hardest. In year2, after Faure and Deuce start dating, she learns that Deuce used to go to school with Vil (keyword on Used To, as Vil was a 4th year-pushing-graduation and knee deep in workstudy), and nearly lost her mind that she lost her ONE CHANCE of ever connecting with the man.  she is a Princess and she’s going to make sure you treat her as one.

one of Antonia’s side projects is run promo material on her personal hype page, but this means she has to actually Test hte products first-- which is where her brothers come in. If she can’t risk a breakout, she’s slapping the weird facemask on one of the boys and judging the results accordingly before she posts it anywhere. She’ll also practice makeup on either boy which has lead to Faure sprawled across her floor with his face beat in full glitter and lashes, waiting for the sign that he can bail and wash all the nonsense off (cause she can kick his butt, and he knows it.)

Antonia’s magic is decently high in the Attack potential, but she lacks in defense or support. Luckily her triplets fill in those gaps very well.  her UM is still being hashed out, but it’s ‘banshee scream’ themed-- right now I’m sort of swatting around an idea it’s a Disarm. Maybe she can get her voice to such a level that Almost All attackers will drop their weapon, and she can swoop in to deliver a full disarming blow. 

** forgot to say so i’m throwing it into the end her hair is naturally mostly straight, she spends minimum An Hour daily to make her hair do the full ringlet curl. Her ‘show performance’ hairstyle takes nearly 2h cause she refuses to let a single curl droop while she’s on stage under all those lights.

Plans for the summer (and the winter)

Hello, everyone.

I hope the weather in your place is nice, your days are long and you are healthy and relaxed.

I am here to give you an update on all the plans I had and the ones that came out in the meantime.

------

TMA

The reactions will still go on, don't worry. I started season 3 and I plan to keep them going until the end. Then I will start The Magnus Protocol too, of course.

I'm in no hurry with this series: I like to keep it going slowly and enjoy it ten episodes at a time until the end. So the updates will keep going during summer, winter and maybe up to the next year. Just keep expecting them, I definitely won't drop the series. I want to know how it will end.

------

CCCC

This project got my attention and I want to talk more about it. In the last ask I got, I was proposing two ideas:

a very concise analysis of all the songs of Volume 1, made mostly of resumes of the obvious parts, a few considerations and me approving every time these characters show how badass they are.

a short post about how differently the embodiment of Heart and Mind are portrayed here and in Sanders Sides.

The survey is here, and you're still free to vote (if you haven't already). Honestly, I would love to write these posts alternating them with TMA/others, so you won't see just one topic, but some nice variety. Just vote and let me know which idea do you like the most - or if you want me to do them both! I'm open to do that too.

------

LORE OLYMPUS

In my last post, I said I would write a new one for when the series is over.

Well, the series is over. And my post won't be kind, nor long: I already talked about all the mistakes of the series, so all that's left is me making fun of its stupid ideas and a finale that was the epitome of "how NOT to write a story".

It will be the first post to come out after this recap, so you'll have it very soon.

------

EPIC THE MUSICAL

I just found out that The Thunder Saga will be released on July 4th, bless Jorge Rivera-Herrans for his incredible speed and his creativity. This man makes bops as if nothing, his vision is crystal clear and I respect him for that.

I didn't listen to any snippets and didn't look for any spoiler, because I want to be surprised by the songs themselves: so, once they're out, I will definitely write a post about them in a couple days.

------

THE BOOK OF BILL

Once it's out and I will get it (probably from August 2nd, since that's the delivery day on my Amazon), I will become a mess and talk about it endlessly, so I apologize in advance for who I will become.

------

A MANGA I MENTIONED

Eons ago, I said there was a manga I wanted to talk about. Well, that manga is finished. But I have to read it from the beginning, before talking about it. And right now, I don't really feel like it.

For now, I will keep this in the back. Maybe this winter (or even next year), I will talk about it.

------

SANDERS SIDES

I am sorry to say that I do not have plans for SaSi for now - well, except for hte post in connection with CCCC. Mr. Sanders is giving us nothing, so there's nothing really new I can write.

But that doesn't mean we can't talk. On the contrary, you can still send me asks and/or tag me in some posts and we can have a nice chat about anything, from details of the series to criticism. Having nothing new doesn't mean we can't have fun our way.

------

WHAT ELSE?

Those are my plans for now, but who knows what else will come in a couple months? I wasn't expecting CCCC and it came, it saw and it conquered without expecting it. So... who knows? Maybe in a couple months, I will get another suggestion and my plans will change again. I'm open to possible new things to enjoy.

As always, thank you all for sticking with me, thank you for your asks, comments, reblogs, likes and suggestions. Every feedback is wonderful and I am extremely grateful for it.

(How about a coffee? ☕)

that first house he barges into is really a very interesting character moment for hiro like as discussed in hte tags of that other post the way he fakes "normalcy" by greeting the mom as if he knows her (and that she responds instinctively as if she DOES know him!) and him trying to make convo w that girl his age about the things that interest him. he only cares about people he has a connection with and hes TRYING to HAVE this connection with these people before killing them. also hte fact he orders the father to SPEAK and TALK about whatever is going on in his head while hes being held at gunpoint. its seeking connection, testing that he really does not care about if htey live or die? because he realizes this is an abnormal mindset? but also he really truly does not care so he does end up killing all of them anyway and hten doing it again and again lol. (and iirc hes a lot less talkative in the other houses after this. its no use testing the limits of his empathy anymore hes already killed strangers)

I DONT THINK THIS MAKES HIS SERIAL KILLINGS OKAY OR CUTE I AM SIMPLY DOING CHARACTER ANALYSIS HERE !!!!

Trump campaign staff had altercation with official at Arlington Cemetery : NPR

what an ass trump is brokethe rules tried to swing it h is way and said stuff about a grounds worker. and she had backup there in seconds they all saw it. saw them. and it is front page news that they all did it andviolateed the sanctity of the burial area. , moreso by their talk and balking and assinine attitude and statments while in it. and prior too. he is going to be hit by the militry for his sttements made after. and before but after it is treason. and tons said it we need him out. an shall be and a lot are up today to remove him. today tons try to pull him off hte ballot and each day until nov 5.

he sits inciting our son and gets himself killed and his trumpsters. and is constantly at him pesterng belittling and harrassing. we launch now tody ten lawsuits an our son is part of them. and the money will go tohim and mac proper mac and bja tommy f now and minortiy morlock and forg and more approve it. needs it and to heat up and to kill these twits.

-the lawsuits are group lawsuits and our son has a team of lawyers on each. each team is different. tons are on it and have teamsnot thier names. and they lawyers work fo rhtem are soldiers. hit you non stop trump you spoiled shit.

- We are proceeding today in filing those ten additional group lawsuits against John Remelard. We're also getting ready to file one against Donald Trump and in the case where we're doing that it is for people who want to disassociate due to him trying to use them as a human shield saying their family and there's a lot of it and while this lawsuit was being formed they did find out that he was fine on them and he was occupying other people's bodies and he was acting like them saying he felt a little sick and we do have time to say that there are criminal aspects to each of the ten lawsuits and in each of the 50 so literally you're 500 possible criminal cases against this shining complete loser who ruins things so you can't stop the mac proper he was fighting them and he fell and he refuses to get up and he is now under their control and the Mac proper are in trouble because Trump has a big mouth and he's trying to direct attacks against him but he readily admits that he's doing work for them. And it's made him an enemy a lot of people found a lot of Max with their information and it came from Donald Trump for a variety of reasons one of them is that he is a big rat. We're going to go after him today and we're going to pursue the lawsuit to free our daughter and son from any connection to him and we are going to file charges in relation to his spying and those charges are pretty heavy as he pushed the clan to succeed so much that they are and he's trying to hide it by saying he's controlling it because he is a buffoon who doesn't know how to do anything. Now there is some things going on in the legal community and they're making note of this idiot and his technique that he is forced his way in and has judgeships of his family and he is running some sort of scam when he's in court and they are going after him for it and that's the Justice Department and they are taking his people down as they did see that he was a big problem causing them a lot of problems it's going to be a big day and this **** keeps saying that he is the son of our son and he suggested Dr Phil incarcerate him against his will to see who shows up because he does that to everybody and he's probably doing it to dr Phil during the interview so dr Phil took a moment and they said they're everywhere it's this idiot so he's saying look at what they're doing and looks like they're trying to pick people up so he called the order to go after him and Dr Phil's guys don't screw around towards the end of the interview he stood up and he said no matter what happens to you or where you are I'm gonna get you and he doesn't say that to anybody and he said it to this guy there are several other mac proper that have said it and he has found out who because they said thank you for standing up to him this little boy is doing it and he's cleaning his clock of stuff too and theyre

continued... February 29, 24

Coleson drove in a bit earlier, arriving around 6/6:30pm. I was so nervous. Even after all our FT's every night, I was still worried about our physical attraction in person. I was already attracted to him, I just wasn't sure how it would be in real life. We had a big hug when he came & had 15-20ish mins at my place before heading to ambers. He did kiss me which was obviously great. Ambers was really good too. He was a bit quiet at first which obviously, like he did great for literally just meeting me in person & then going to my best friends house hahah. We played catan which was fun, Amber won again surprise surprise. That night we stayed up till like 6am... cuddling, talking etc. It was crazy but we talked & covered so much. It felt so comfortable with him which was such a new feeling. I had never ever felt like I was 100% safe with someone in all areas except with him. I also love kissing him which is lovely. Our physical attraction... lets just say we both don't worry about that which is obviously a huge relief. We both were a bit worried about how it would be & if we would be compatible that way & like if it was awkward at all & it wasn't at all. He's so incredibly respectful & honoring. He officially asked me to be his GF that night which was so cute. We slept a few hours & listened to a sermon together in the morning instead of church which was really great. I went for food prep & he visited his friend. We went for a walk afterwards & prepared to go for dinner with amber & naythan but they had to cancel as Rue was having an allergic reaction. We ended up going to The Dorset for dinner which was nice. Had another really great night together cuddling & being so open about everything. It's seriously an insane breath of fresh air. Monday morning he headed home. Work was good & we FT'd that night. Tuesday work was good & I went to okotoks for the afternoon. He ended up coming back in town Tuesday evening because he was slow at work & we missed each other. We went for dinner, was supposed to be mexican but went to Olea instead & that was still good. Yet another amazing night together. Wednesday morning I had my meeting & then we went to Diner Deluxe for brunch. After coming home he was going to be leaving. He may have dropped the 3 words on me which I knew & felt was coming. He had traced in on my skin earlier that morning. He's such a cheesy romantic it's seriously so sweet, like idk how but he's everything I ever wanted or could dream. I really believed that I wouldn't have it all. I truly did not believe there was a man that would check every box, including how i wanted all these tiny little one off things that shouldn't matter but I secretly wished someone had & i've never had that in someone ever, or they would lack a huge other important side if they did have those little things. Like he likes to cuddle ALL NIGHT which I adore. He thinks of these really cute little things, he gets my car door, his love language is physical touch but he still does things in public. He's always complimenting me & makes me feel so special. His prayers are always so good, he even remembers to pray for my family things. He remembers all these little details that I didn't think he'd pick up on. He tucked the blankets in around me in the middle of hte night when he thought I was sleeping. Like he's a true gentleman, it's unreal. Like literally un believable that God connected us... Ed is so happy for us which is so sweet & great. Im nervous to tell my fam about him only because It feels so soon but seriously, when you know you know. Im really excited for them to meet him because Im honestly so proud to call him mine, I want them to meet him & love him.

I'm really just in awe. I can't wait to go out there this weekend & most likely meet some of his family. Who knew. God's timing is wild & God's plans absolutely outdid anything I ever imagined. I am literally the most blessed with this man. I can't thank God enough for bringing him into my life... like I think I just found my absolute dream man & he's already mine. Praise Jesus.
