paragraph twelve, clause four by innerlilith (15k) 🌟

two weeks by shiftylinguini (21k) 🌟

overprotective possessive veela harry, who is emotionally sick until he “meaningfully connects” w/ his important person… aka, draco! the sexual tension and pining is portrayed so well, and creatively manifests in harry’s new veela body. i love this wry humor, no-nonsense draco so much.

knot your average coworkers by thecouchsofa (22k) ❤️

the superfluous man by peu_a_peu (24k)

back where we began by cassiara (25k)

oh. my. god. slightly teacher/student dynamics but not really, combined with accidental bonding and sorta legilimency because harry is impulsive and curious and obsessed with draco’s voice in his head.

in the dark, in the light by phrynne (32k)

threesome with omc; very intense bdsm fic with sub harry and dom draco. the tension is PALATABLE.

you send me (honest you do) by firethesound (37k)

aurors drarry! harry is accidentally de-aged (physically), which unlocks draco’s buried feelings. great writing on intimacy, love, comfort, humor, pining (draco’s pining HURTS SO GOOD).

see me and live by dodgerkedavra (37k)

harry has such a huge (and quite hilarious) crush on draco that it can feel so overwhelming for him (along with all the other thoughts in his head). draco is so brilliant with magic and so incredibly patient, kind, and warm with harry. makes me SICK just how sweet and caring they both are with each other in recognizing what the other needs.

eternally consistent by kitsunealyc (44k)

mystery time travel fic where the ending adds a whole new perspective. delicious drarry development in this one.

sealed with a kiss by faithwood (46k) ❤️

switching; god i love this fic so much. the epitome of "i don't want him... but i want him". jumping through all these hoops and tricks while being in denial of your true feelings... THE DELUSION!

perpetual motion, perpetual sound by dodgerkedavra (51k)

dodger has a way of delivering sexy scenes, only to devastate you several pages later with heartbreaking scenes. fascinating exploration of magical theory, mental health, dealing with trauma, and being in love.

only for october by dodgerkedavra (58k, wip)

dmhp + hpdm; lovely fic disguised as an unassuming “fwb have a kinky month of sex” story. drarry deal with inner demons by taking care of e/o through sex to ground themselves in reality. they fall in love in the process AND there’s an intriguing mystery plot. it’s so good.

whisky-tango-foxtrot by vukovich (58k) 🌟

transformed my life. unrelentingly absurd and over-the-top funny with refreshing characterization and humor. drarry’s animagus traits seep into their human behavior - adrenaline junkie, horny trashy slut harry x inexperienced, dramatic, mate-for-life draco. it’s a hot wild ride.

dwelling by aideomai (83k)

changed my life fr, i thought about this for WEEKS and was so heartbroken. so much melancholy and heartache. idk if i can read it again knowing what happens... it's very bittersweet.

azoth by zeitgeistic (88k) 🌟

hpdm, mentions of switching; need more competent, determined, "fuck you i'm gonna prove you wrong!" genius harry! love this take on harry who sets his mind to something and discovers he is quite (book)smart. i love that draco guides and tutors him throughout it. so much love and research from the author, it's such a genius fic. also love the years-long pining and angst.

hothouse flowers and hot hot showers by azalea_larae, with art by boshspice (101k) ❤️

harry has very obsessive grand fantasies in this fic. the sexual tension is so intense. roommates don’t ACT like this… harry puts himself through intense pining and (imaginary) heartache. there is one crazy massage scene... you just have to be there!!!

far from the tree by aideomai (112k) 🌟

dmhp, one hpdm scene; a favorite! draco can’t believe harry wants him, yet he’s posessive and can’t let him go. harry’s obsessed and will do anything to protect him. throw in some angst, mystery, kinky times, next gen kids, draco calling harry “darling” (and subsequently changing the trajectory of my life), and voila! a masterpiece.

[small-but-oho]

EDIT: Since this kinda broke containment: THESE ARE MY PERSONAL FEELINGS. If you agree, let me know and we can connect! :D If you disagree, that's awesome. Keep doing your thing. I do not want to tell anybody that the way they enjoy g/t is wrong.

I think I've cracked the code of why the overwhelming amount of g/t fl/uff (censored so it doesn't show up in its tag) makes me uncomfortable: there just are no stakes.

Like, to me, g/t stories need to have a power imbalance. That's the whole readon for the trope to exist. Just like bd$m or v0re or, fuck, even just boss/employee stories, the inheirent difference in power - literal or social - is the whole point of it.

And, no offense, but all the posts about friendship and r0mance between tiny and giant just... play that down? Maybe it's because the trope has been done to death and back (we're all in its fandom after all), and people just wanna skip to the part that is new in their story. Nothing wrong with that, I'm not trying to police what people are writing. I'm mostry just airing out my own thoughts here.

But that also kinda takes out the tension? I've once read a comparison online, that in real life, two people clearly communicating their problems is good and healthy, but in a story, it takes out the stakes. Stories usually need points of tension building up the closer we get to the climax, with a big finish, and a drop in tension towards the end.

And this may just be me bitching, but I remember a time when the g/t tag was full of fearplay and looming and angst, where evil giants were as plentiful as sand in the desert. And now that's almost a rare trope. A lot of people I follow who used to post lots of angst, now primarily only post fl♡ff, which, again, do as you want. I'm just wondering why this shift occurred.

To me personally, g/t is a good way to explore these feelings, of feeling small, weak, at the mercy of a being so much bigger than me. Bad things need to happen to the tiny, because it's somewhat of a stress release. And if you've read this far, thanks and please don't block me.

I need to know more about this Tiny!Dream right now

Oh boy, so this is a fun one. I actually sent @error-dream-was-found a bit on this one. Very short, not much written for it, but it is definitely one of my whumpier/angstier concepts

So story background is Dream gets shrunk in prison (either potion, XD fucking around, or some code accident), and Quackity has a field day over it. He takes tiny!Dream to Las Nevadas (with or without Sam’s permission, haven’t decided), and just… turns him into a stress toy.

At some point, they find out Dream has infinite lives. And Quackity is well… Quackity about it. There may or may not be a point where he actually eats Dream because cannibalism is something Q has definitely done before. (This is G/T we’re talking here, vore isn’t off the table, just as a proper horror trope instead of sexual.)

This whole experience, in turn, completely traumatizes Dream. To the point that by the start of the story, when Tommy visits Q and accidentally finds his “hobby” room, Dream is full convinced anyone who sees him is there to torture and kill him just to see if he respawns. Kinda like he’s a little freak show side piece. And he’s legitimately terrified of everyone around him.

And Tommy, being the completely rational and totally winging it, steals Dream from Quackity, books it back to Snowchester, and then passes out after handing Dream over to Ranboo like “peace out, your problem now, good night”. This definitely, totally does not cause Dream to have such a horrific panic episode that he too passes out, totally not. (Tubbo and Ranboo are confused and conflicted, but they really don’t want to hurt such a scared little guy ���)

Also, because anytime I write Dream and Michael the piglin together, Michael tries to act as Dream’s protector and bff, that is exactly what happens. As soon as Michael realizes Dream isn’t an action figure, he starts bringing Dream gifts and babying him, even snarling at his dads if they scare Dream. He is very fierce and mighty, do not touch his friend. Michael is the only one Dream fully trusts at a certain point.

Aaaand that’s about all I have. At some point Techno and Phil get involved, Wilbur and Sam are gonna be weird about tiny!Dream, and the server is going to have a meltdown over the fact that their villain is completely harmless now and also traumatized and terrified of everything to the point he can’t even trust those he used to (Punz is devastated, but tries to be understanding about it).

No idea when this thing will be ready for posting, but hey, it’s a fun little project to have on the side. :)

JOHNNY DAVIS | Cheers to a (real) wild one

The Bikeriders (2023)

∴

At the request of my beloved df (dear friend) @narcolini, who wrote this fucking FIIIIREEEEEEEE disgusting, amazing, beautiful, ridiculous, obscenely and downright upsettingly well-written Johnny Davis x Reader fic -> called white room, and also brought my attention to the s e v e r e lack of Johnny gifs out on the interwebs, I am hereby dumping some of my fav Johnny moments from The Bikeriders aka just S.E. Hinton’s The Outsiders for grownups nvm that they’re contemporary stories shshhhhh shhh it still works. So that we may all join hands together in a kumbayah-my-lordt prayer circle to levitate to the ceiling chanting spells appreciate and enjoy and gaze creepily lovingly at his beautiful, grizzled bisexually lovestruck sweet bb angel face that launched a thousand choppers eat your heart out Helen you got nothin on our golden boy and so that my df (dear friend) might regale us with additional installments of possibly the most in-character fanfic I’ve read in my life bc this man is in their bones, yall, dejame do TELLLL you like seriously go check it out, pls and thnku.

And so, without further ado I present to you the tumblr equivalent of my 7th grade diorama honoring golden boy, Johnny Davis:

Yeah, so this👇here is just him being fucking perfect and adorable, laughing at his malewife Benny’s red-light/stop-sign-running shenanigans, pretending like he’s not half as in love with him as he clearly is, him being so perfect it stuck in my memory, like gum to a subway seat and I knew, before I even got the request, before I even started screenrecording, that I was forsure, 1000000% gonna gif these

This👇here is him being fucking perfect, gazing sexily from across the bar, pretending he ain’t the big man in charge, going over to assure a reasonably sketched out Kathy of her unequivocal safety in his bar, all rolling up his sleeves, casually slow-walking over, like he doesn’t own the damn place even tho he abs does, like idc if it’s not canon (tbh bc I only saw the movie twice) but no one will convince that man’s name is not on the deed to that bar bc that’s the kinda guy Johnny is

Oh this👇one right here is just him being a perfect fucking commiserate professional club leader, offering to fight some dude who was challenging Her Majesty’s crown bc Her Majesty won’t let said dude start a Milwaukee chapter get real Milwaukee, you don’t even go here even tho after the fight, Her Majesty Johnny’s just gonna fuckin let the dude start it anyway, he wants to test a homie’s dedication, bc that’s the kinda guy Johnny is

These ones👇here are just him being fucking dreamy and perfect, all enjoying a Sunday afternoon ride into the sunset with his malewife Benny the fam, hair blowing in the breeze, ain’t got a care in the world bc that’s the kinda guy Johnny is

This here👇is him being fucking perfect, doing his best Brando-mugging at the camera, cigarette expertly hanging out his mouth by a thread, eyebrows up nearly to his hairline, all squinting like he about to fail a vision test at the DMV n giving them no choice but to take his driver’s license away, except jokes on them bc nothing and I mean n o t h i n g can keep him away from these mean streets or from his girlfriend that’s he knows is way too cool for him, Benny bc that’s the kinda guy Johnny is

This here👇is him being fucking perfect and positively heartbroken getting the news that his malewife has been attacked by some clowns in a bar from my malewife, a one Ponyboy-coded, Mr. Cal from California aka Boyd Holbrook in greaser drag and I normally am so not for blondies but by god am I here for that and plotting his inevitable revenge on those no-good mfs who did his girl so dirty, nearly taking away her ability to ride bc that’s the kinda guy Johnny is

This here👇is him being fucking perfect exacting said vengeance on behalf of his malewife, Benny aka The Girl Everyone Wants To Take To The Prom by finding the dudes who beat him up and then setting the bar on fire for good measure bc gottdammmititfkdjd nobody messes with MAH WOMAN bc that’s the kinda guy Johnny is. It’s also him hilarious with the comedic timing like look at how funny his face is just telling Brucie to burn it down SKSKSK

And this here👇is him being fucking perfect, watching the world burn enjoying the fruits of his labor, a Labor Of Love in fact, bc that’s the kinda fuckin guy Johnny is

And what’s more gold than that, right guys?? Never change. Stay gold, Johnny. Stay gold.

Write's Lore / backstory ~!! (Copy pasted from discord messages so please excuse the cadence + formatting)(+ lack of proofreading)(+ my tentative grasp on Ink lore)

Write is a G!Ink! More specifically, he's a ZephyrTale!Gaster + Ink fusion.... heheheheheh >:3 He, for anyone who doesn't know, is one if Ink's canon (adoptive) Dads! Which ahhh is a source of great evil in my mind ehehehe

Enough being vague about making evil choices though! The main gist of what happens is a is of a 'what if' off that 1 Ink comic in which Z!Gaster ended up dusting. Based just on that & no other lore it's a 'what if' Ink reacted differently.

In the canon one, Ink accepted thats just how the script played out (even if it emotionally killed him to do so he just Couldn't do anything about it in case he upset the Creators). In this it kind of pushed him too far? No matter how scared he was, no matter how much he tried to rationalise it he... just couldn't. He could not, no. Would not, accept the death of his Father. It was to cruel of a joke to play...

So! Rather than uh trying to stop Undertop!Gaster, his other Dad & Z!G's partner, from doing anything about it? He helped him. With the combination of T!G's ability to manipulate code + In's knowledge of scripts & Creators, surely they could bring him back? Not just A Z!Gaster. The one the both knew and loved....

However! And this is a big however! Things didn't quite go to plan :) Look. I'm not sure exactly what went wrong, because i'm not sure exactly how they were trying to do it, but rather than coming back as his own person? His got fused into/with Ink, probably destabilising ZephyrTop and having other Consequences™️ that they never could have predicted.

I feel like part of the theme of their MV is actually like ummmm defying Creator's wishes? Like the characters themselves deciding they don't want to do as they're told? Taking back control of their own lives.... Fuelled by this 1 choice made by a grieving Ink :)

Soo they just ever so slightly ruined their own MV and made it a little unstable..... but it's still around! Still okay (as it can be).

While not what either of them wanted, at least they did get him back... in a way. Write is having a bit of a weird time about it tbh??? Since he's kind of no longer Ink nor Z!Gaster? He doesn't really remember being either, just left with echos of who they were. If you knew either, or both, you can see bits of them living on in Write. He hates it when you point out the bits of him that come from them though. Hates not being seen as his own person, as an individual more than the sum of his parts. Seeing as he is id own person, with his own thoughts and feelings about things.

He's fully aware of how he came to be and uh heavily disapproves of it though..... He, kinda, understands they were grieving but look what they've done? He never asked to be made? Never asked for this, never wanted this. Yet he is the one stuck cleaning up the pieces of who he used to be. The consequence of actions he was never the one to make...

He does function as this MVs guardian of creativity, since he is still part Ink. Begrudgingly though. This wasn't made for this duty yet he still carries it on his shoulders, how typical. He has access to Ink's powers & abilities, better than Ink himself ever actually did. Since he no longer needs his focus (Broomie) to reach his full ability, even if he does still use them. It's not Broomie's fault he's in this mess after all. It would be rude to abandon him.

He also no longer entirely relies on the vials. Without them his emotions are muted, barely there and hard to understand. However, he still retains conciseness and control without them. He prefers who he is on them but can be worse than Ink about forgetting to take them since it won't 'kill' him not to. Catch 22. 

Bonus: That feeling when you & your dad try to resurrect you other dad who's dead but it goes poorly 😔  I'm not super sure what his role in his MV is or his connections to other characters yet? I just know this is where he comes from and that he's a lot more..... sad & pessimistic than either of his originators 😅  Probably just as self-isolating as Z!G was though... 🤔

[glitched-username]

★heyllooo-★

★..sooo, erm, based on your latest post regarding concepts with rottmnt g/t and stuff, a little concept has been spiraling around in my head based on - these parts of your rambles★ :

★And this- has got me thinkinggg.. what if everyone who got mutated into an animal of some sorts just, as you said, let's the size take priority ?? Now this could go both ways, like- a person, depending on the species that they turn into after getting bitten by an oozequito (how is it spelled, help) has the misfortune of forming onto said size★

★Im, gonna give some very specific examples here★ :

|⭐| For instance, if a person transforms into some sort of a bug, it is safe to say that their size would reduce to just a couple of inches tall, maybe even smaller than that.

|⭐| They get turned into a bunny ?? Then their new found size should be about 10-20 inches tall-..I think- I dunno, (by the way, the smallest species of a rabbit is called a pygmy bunny and they can reach up to only 12 inches tall.. I think-)

|⭐| They happen to be close to an orca during the process of their mutation ?? They might just reach a length of 5.5 to 9.8 meters .. pretty big.

★You get the idea- well, you pretty much formed it.. Unlessss, the sizey thing was just a hiccup that occured because the mutant-gen was still in testing and stuff- ?? (or is it empyrean ?? Fuck I gotta go to the turtle-pedia- ) ★

★either way, it would make for a pretty cool, ermm, concept to add to the 'ROTTMNT' universe- !!★

★..(and imagine the tons of g/t content we could feast on (⁠☆‹ ☆⁠) !!)★

★yeah ermm, your rambling is quite cool by the way anddd, (I hope that..i dunno, you meet a giant in real life that just so happens to be like rise!raph)★

Oh, Draxum 100% would not have wanted the animal height to take priority, he just didn't think of the way heights would be affected with the mutation. Many dangerous/strong animals are actually much smaller than humans (wolves, spiders, monkeys, etc.) so he would be more interested in trying to find a way to prioritize the human height to a certain point. Super dumb way I could phrase it but, it'd kinda be like

if(HumanHeight > AnimalHeight){

HumanHeight = Height;

}

else{

AnimalHeight = Height;

}

idk if that makes sense but that's how I view it (can you tell I'm a fucking donnie kinnie lmao). And this is also my excuse so that the other mutants that appear in the show are still their OG sizes instead of getting to the heights of crabs and pigs. Would also make it funnier when the rogues gallery are giants compared to the turtles and yet the turtles still manage to kick ass.

Honestly Draxum would only recognize the boys as his creations by their height and is just like "well, they still have lou jistu DNA and survived THIS long... maybe I can still work with this?"

Anyway currently writing some stuff based on this au and I'm starting with the first meeting with April, which if you read my thoughts on how that would go... teehee

And Imma be real, I'm projecting hard when I write about giant raph stuff, because I would love to have that mystic power. idk who assembled my tiny 5 foot 2 self in the factory but I am ridiculously giant coded lmao. I would lose my mind immediately if I got some borrower friends. I even got a tiny handheld robot guy that I love because he's a tiny robot friend :))

[ncisfranchise-source]

NCIS: Origins this week took steps towards establishing why the story that narrator Gibbs is telling us about “her” aka Special Agent Lala Dominguez resonates with him to this day.

Along the way, we briefly laid eyes on a young version of a character who would appear in the NCIS mothership’s very first episode, and pop up now and again to this day.

As Gibbs (Mark Harmon) shared in this episode’s opening narration, Lala (played by Mariel Molino) would at some future point confide in him that she felt trapped in a “box,” and one that seems to be growing smaller. Things such as Franks (Kyle Schmid) suggesting she is a “workplace distraction” for Gibbs (Austin Stowell) clearly weigh on her. Lala, though, is in no rush to let “probie” know what she is feeling. Rather, she’s still irked about last week’s case, during which Gibbs drew his gun on two nobodies who were giving her a hard time.

Lala heads out with Vera (Diany Rodriguez) and Mary Jo (Tyla Abercrombie) for a “girls night,” to celebrate the former getting a green light for her profiling program. When Lala gets paged regarding NIS work, she heads to her car — only to have the guy she was kinda dancing with follow her and climb into the passenger seat uninvited. Lala tells the guy to get out, noting that she has work to do (and a boyfriend). But then a switch “flips” for her, and she suddenly pulls the stranger in for a kiss (and more?).

Lala is not herself upon reporting to the crime scene with smeared lipstick, and is notably “off” that whole night and day after. (No, Gibbs, offering a bowl of cereal won’t cure what ails her.) But they proceed to investigate the murder, which was made to look like suicide, of a Navy wonk who had access to military secrets.

Along the way, Franks asks SAC Wheeler (Patrick Fischler) to lean on his FBI contact for information the bureau has on the likely buyer. When Franks and Wheeler meet up with the FBI source at a Mexican restaurant well-populated by LEOs, the G-man waves over his young colleague “Tobias” — as in Fornell! The young version of Joe Spano’s NCIS character, whom Gibbs will first meet in the NCIS series premiere, is played by Lucas Dixon, whose previous TV credits include episodes of The Tick and Blindspot.

“In 1991, Agent Fornell is an affable underling who’s still finding his footing at the Bureau,” reads the official character description obtained by TVLine.

When the opportunity presents itself for Gibbs to pose as the man buying the stolen Navy intel, Lala tags along to coach “probie” through his first undercover op. And boy, does nervous Gibbs need the assist. With a glam Lala posing as Gibbs’ date at an exclusive bar, the two watch for the seller. There are sudden embraces (to dodge Gibbs’ dentist!) and the cupping of faces (to see the cover). Soon enough, Gibbs is invited to meet with the seller in a back room — both agents unaware that their SWAT team backup just got pulled away to another gig. So when Lala repeatedly uses the “congratulations” code word to signal SWAT’s breach… nothing happens. And this being 1991, the wire Lala’s wearing is only one-way. When Gibbs’ briefcase full of “show me” money counts up light, the seller and his goons smell a rat. Gibbs thinks fast and holds an ice pick, which had been deftly slipped to him by “tipsy” Lala, to the seller’s neck, while Lala manages to snatch a gun and pick off the goon who has a pistol aimed at her partner.

Afterwards, we see Lala overhearing NIS locker room talk about how hot she looked in her undercover dress — but she does what she always does, “deflects” it with equally inappropriate jabs of her own. That is the “box” she finds herself trapped in.

Or, at least one of them.

Because it then becomes clear that she feels to also be inside a “box” at home, into which her beau has been trying to move. And before the episode ends, we see Lala start to tell him about the parking lot hook-up, and presumably then give him his walking papers.

House of Earth and Blood Chapters 11-12

We're back with Bryce, who opens the door for Micah and immediately tells us the most important details about him:

The Archangel was gorgeous. Horrifically, indecently gorgeous.

Interestingly, he's allowed to be more gorgeous than Hunt. I am actually legitimately surprised by this development.

Micah walks in, and Bryce continues to... uh, describe him to us.

Micah Domitus’s brown eyes devoured her. His power pressed against her skin, ripped the air from the room, her lungs. Filled the space with midnight storms, sex and death entwined.[...] Fucking Hel, his voice—silk and steel and ancient stone. He could probably make someone come by merely whispering filthy things in their ear.

Okay, okay, we get it, he's the sexiest thing since sex. Now I'm wondering if the book is going to pull another bait-and-switch like it did with Tamlin>Rhys, and Micah is going to turn out to be her Fated Mate or something. God I hope not. Not that I particularly like Hunt, but... yeah. Anyway. I don't think it's likely, because I'm getting villain-vibes from Micah, but yeah. Just thought it was worth noting.

We get an infodump about archangel power levels, then Bryce fangirls when one of Micah's feathers brushes against her as he passes.

She didn’t know much about Micah’s history—had never paid attention during history class, too busy drooling over the unfairly perfect face currently before her to listen to her teacher’s droning.

Book. Book book book. I can tell you for a fact that this is not how fangirls work. We want to know e v e r y t h i n g about our faves.

Hunt Athalar, however, lingered. Holding her gaze—before he glanced at her collarbone [where Micah's feather touched her]. As if the feather had left a mark. The tattoo of thorns across his forehead seemed to turn darker. And just like that, that scent of sex rippling off the Archangel turned to rot.

....does Hunt have magic powers to mask Archangel sexiness? Did the tattoo literally turn darker, or is Bryce being metaphorical?

She doesn't clarify, instead musing on how awful it is that the angels chose to punish Hunt and co in such a way (sealing their power via tattoo, in case I didn't mention it earlier). She also expressly likens Hunt's thorn tattoo to a crown, in case the Jesus parallel wasn't explicit enough yet.

As if the Senate was anything but a puppet ruling body. As if the Asteri weren’t their emperors and empresses, ruling over everything and everyone for eternity, their rotted souls regenerating from one form to the next.

I do kinda want to know more about these Asteri, ngl. Can you infodump about them instead, Bryce?

Alas, no. Instead she mentions her leg scar (from when she chased the demon) several times, presumably because in the last chapter part of Hunt's judgemental diatribe was assuming she'd have it removed. The book is clearly setting up for there to be a "reveal" to Hunt about Bryce's "real" personality but... well, most of the rest of what he said wasn't strictly untrue. I'm not sure the book realises that, though.

The angels sit, and Bryce video calls Jesiba.

Bryce typed the codes into her computer, trying to ignore the Governor staring at her like she was a steak and he was … something that ate steak. Raw. And moaning.

Why is fucking everything in this book sexual? And predatory? Like, the fairies, sure, whatever, there's all sorts of fey myths and some of them are pretty sexual and primal and whatnot. But angels, too? Admittedly I've not read a whole lot of angel lore, but my understanding is that they're pretty much either 1) the sanitised fluffy-winged people we think of when we hear "angel" or 2) eldritch monstrosities that look like wheels of eyes, or something. Notably absent - anything to do with them being overtly sexual and predatory. Although, I guess nephilim mythology exists. So who knows.

Mostly I'm just sick of the sex already, ngl. And there hasn't even been any sex yet.

Jesiba appears on the screen, and Bryce makes sure to let us know that she's in a hotel room in Pangera, and behind her is a bed large enough for her and the two males she was having sex with last chapter.

Do you see what I mean? Why is it necessary to mention she was banging two guys again, when the conversation that's about to happen will (hopefully) have nothing to do with her sex life? Why???

This is what makes the sex stuff come across as so immature. It sounds like it was written by a horny teenager who thinks it's the be-all and end-all of everything.

Bryce assures us that Jesiba looks very beautiful, and muses that she never dared ask why Jesiba stopped being a witch and joined the House of Flame and Shadow. Again with the not daring to make stuff seem "scary." It's not working, book.

She called herself a sorceress now. Never a witch.

Notably absent: any indication of what the difference is meant to be (in this world, at least). Why can't you tell us this, instead of that Jesiba's hair is both chic and casual? Which one is going to be more important for us understanding this world?

Ugh, and now Micah's purring. Please kill me.

Bryce reminds us once again that Jesiba is promiscuous, Micah makes sexual comments about Bryce, I tear my hair out. Micah then says that there's another connection between this new murder and Danika's death, one he apparently didn't tell Hunt and Isaiah. And he's telling Jesiba so they can combine resources so that...

Micah said, “For Bryce Quinlan to find the true murderer behind this, of course.”

Of course. Cool. ..........why does it have to be Bryce?

We switch to Hunt for chapter 12.

Her boss, the young-faced sorceress, sighed. “Is your 33rd so incompetent these days that you truly need my assistant’s help?” [...]“Though I suppose I already have my answer, if you falsely convicted Philip Briggs.”

Excellent points, Jesiba. Hunt seems to find it amusing, as well. With a token "no one dares speak to Micah that way, bc he so scary you guys." Never mind that Jesiba just did speak to him that way, and wasn't smote. You know. The usual.

Hunt recaps Jesiba's scant backstory to us, in case we forgot since Bryce recapped it for us last chapter.

Micah spends a lot of words explaining that Philip Briggs was falsely accused of murder, but they found evidence that meant whatever previous loophole got him out of jail no longer works, and he's back in jail forever now. Cool. How convenient. He also says that the Summit is soon, and that it'll look to the powers that be that he's lost control of the city if there's a murderer on the loose.

Of course it wasn’t about catching a deadly killer. No, this was pure PR.

Por que no los dos? I mean, because Micah is meant to be a villain, obviously. But is there an actual reason Hunt would say this apart from him being a judgemental ass?

Hunt tells us about the Summits and how they're full of Powerful (TM) People making a lot of noise and hot air. Much as I'm sick of him angsting, I do sympathise with this, being in corporate AV myself.

Micah mentions that a new witch-queen will be recognised, and much fuss is made about how Jesiba doesn't care. Which begs the question of why the book expects me to care. Then he mentions that Sandriel will be coming as well. Which of course makes Hunt angst.

“What does my assistant have to offer in finding the murderer?”

Thank you for trying to keep us on track, Jesiba.

Hunt angsts a bit more before Micah is finally allowed to answer, saying it's because Bryce is the only living person who's actually seen the demon.

Bryce had the nerve to ask, “What about the angel in the alley?” Micah’s face remained unchanged. “He had no memories of the attack. It was an ambush.” Before Bryce could push, he went on,

Okay, not the only living person. But the only main character, I suppose, so it has to be her. GG book.

Hunt decides that, not only is Sandriel attending, but she's doing it with the express purpose of undermining Micah so she can look good to the Asteri and usurp the role of Govenor, which means that all of Micah's slaves will automatically become hers and she would never honour his bargain. And while I think it's fine that Hunt catastrophises here a bit (he did suffer a truly ridiculous amount of trauma, after all), I unfortunately have no faith that the book will make him anything but 100% correct about this. Which is boring and lazy.

Micah turns to gloat at Hunt about someone named Pollux also coming, which is apparently Bad but we learn no more about it. Jesiba makes another valiant effort to keep the conversation on-topic by asking if they know what kind of demon it is yet, which they don't.

Hunt then goes on a tangent about how there are many different kinds of demons, and seven territories in hell.

...the Hollow, the Trench, the Canyon, the Ravine, the Chasm, the Abyss, and the worst of them all—the Pit.

.............................really? Fucking really? Is this supposed to be clever? Could the book seriously not think of more than one kind of hell?

Hunt tells us that this demon obviously came from the Pit (of course), but it's okay, because his lightning is badass enough that it'll kill it all the same. Sure, Jan. Bryce interrupts his monologue-ing to ask about that other connection Micah mentioned several pages ago.

Micah looked at her. To her credit, Quinlan didn’t lower her eyes.

He's just so scary, you guys! It's a credit to not avert your eyes when he... looks at you.

Book, this kind of thing only works in really small doses. Ideally after we've seen some actual evidence of the being in question actually being scary. When everyone and their dog is so scary that no one dares look at/talk to/ask questions of them/etc, it just becomes eyeroll-inducing instead. Especially when it's only ever brought up in the context of exceptions to this behaviour, as has been the case with both Jesiba and Bryce's reactions to Micah thus far. It's only an exception if we see the rule first - if we see nothing but exceptions, well, guess what, those are the rules now.

Anyway, apparently Danika and Maximus were friends. Bryce did not know this, and denies it, insisting she would have known. Micah warns her to be careful in an Ominously Scary Way that's just so scary you guys. Hunt even expressly stops angsting to pay attention because of it. No, really.

It was enough to get Hunt to set aside Sandriel’s visit and focus on the conversation.

So. Frigging. Scary. Such a sexy dangerous predator angel man. Sweet Jesus I'm going insane already, this is worse than ACOTAR.

Micah points out that Bryce also knew both victims, and that she was at the White Raven club just before both murders. Bryce obviously takes affront at this.

“What about investigating the others in the Pack of Devils? None of them might have been a target?” “It has already been looked into and dismissed. Danika remains our focus.”

I mean, I figured the other wolves were redshirts as soon as the book tried to make me care about them, but geeze.

Bryce asked tightly, “You honestly think I can find anything, when the Aux and 33rd couldn’t? Why not get the Asteri to send over someone like the Hind?” The question rippled through the room. Surely Quinlan wasn’t dumb enough to wish for that. Jesiba threw a warning look at her assistant.

While Bryce raises a good point about how the hell she's meant to find anything when the actual investigators couldn't, I am banging my head against the wall again at the appearance of yet another super-duper-uber-scary character. Enough already! Unless the Hind is going to be relevant to something, I don't give a fuck how scary you want me to think she is!

But I can only assume by how awkwardly and randomly this was brought up that the Hind (and Pollux, who is mentioned again when we're told that the Hind is his lover) is going to be important later. Hunt also randomly name-drops someone called the Harpy, who is also so uber-scary he doesn't like to think about her. Why did you think about her, then?

Micah has decided that Danika knew her killer, and Bryce knows Danika best, and that's why she's perfect to find this person Danika never told her about. I mean, it's contrived as fuck, but if it allows the protagonist to participate in the story, I'll take it. It's already doing better than ACOTAR in that regard. Jesiba asks for compensation for Micah stealing her employee.

Micah smiled, a sharp, thrilling thing that Hunt had witnessed only before the Archangel blasted someone into wind-torn smithereens.

Bet he doesn't do that now. Bet it's yet another case of the book being all bark and no bite. Fuck me, I sound like a broken record.

And lo, not only does he not blast her to smithereens, but he cows and agrees to pay compensation almost immediately. Book, you fail at writing badasses. It's honestly getting embarrassing at this point.

Micah assigns Isaiah and Hunt to oversee/protect Bryce as she investigates. Bryce agrees, on the condition that Micah wipe the murderer off the planet once she finds them. Sure, why not.

The angels start to leave, but Hunt sticks his foot in the door to mansplain to Bryce about how to think of possible suspects. Bryce is very amusingly having none of his shit, though, and cranks the enchantments up (which is a thing that can be done, I guess) to burn him.

Hunt jumped back, his lightning flaring, defending against an enemy that was not there.

I don't know why, but this cracks me up. Makes me think of when my dog was licking ice cubes and constantly being surprised by the cold. Just confusedly biting the air afterwards. Fucking idiot.

The door shut. [Bryce] purred through the intercom, “I’ll call you. Don’t bother me until then.”

Please god let this continue. It might just get me through the book.

[where-are-the-spooky-gays-2]

I have 3 story ideas I really wanna do so Imma just talk about them here (and if I end up doing one and somehow someone recognizes it on ao3 no you don't <3) (JK I'll probably be elated)

Alien AU — I have this one started already. It is posted. This is also a possible "has this been read here" worry . It's not as romantic and more found family but does include plenty of platonic Virgil/Remus moments (though I do know this blog is otherwise, I felt it was important to mention). Virgil was kidnapped because "human scary lets make it fight other aliens to the death" and he's keeping himself alive because fight or flight. The others are aliens. They're there too. Kidnapped too. Yippee!! They'll eventually all get out and there's going to be a plot twist (not a super big one, just a little funny thing that makes the perspective of Virgil change). Anywho. Aliens <3.

Royalty AU — this is the one with spymaster Virgil and Prince/Knight Remus. This is .. honestly the one that's lacking a plot the most. I'm kinda dying over the fact I can't come up with a plot. Everyone will have their roles and I know for a fact there will be a scene where everyone is like "well shit this is really important. Hey Your Majesty (Thomas, the king), where are you getting all of this information?" and in waltzes dressed-in-rags Virgil with like a wet washcloth over his shoulder fresh outta doing dishes like "me and I got more" and everyone's like ⁉️⁉️⁉️ but thomas is just "yes Virgil what is it". Anyway Virgil starts banging the prince— /j I LOVE ROYALTY SO MUCH RAHHHH

Fae AU — HEY REMEMBER WHAT I SENT AN INFODUMP ABOUT THE FAE AU HEHEHEH I DECIDED!!! So this one will have a beginning of like— Virgil is a human child first. He's like 3 and he finds himself in a fae circle. Janus' fae circle. The fae pops in like "I'm gonna make a deal— oh. A child. Mine now" (plot twist virgils moms bad so it was a good decision). Then Janus raises this human child alongside the fae. It's a little difficult and they have their moments but Virgil is still under the protection of Fuck With Me And Die Janus so he's a little smug bitch. Kinda like a cat. Ever seen a smug cat? That's Virgil. And uh there's this one fae who's about equal his age at the time and that fae is a little unsettling and just reeeaaaaaally likes this human, okay? Nothing weird! Just. Just wants to smooch the human. Just a little crush. Anyway Virgil starts dating Remus and it's like "woah hold on wait I didn't teach you dating customs wait—" :D

Input? I genuinely cannot pick. Also ty for letting me infodump Dukexiety nation love y'all <3

— 👑

D E V O U R I N G this all 3 are S O fucking good!!! First things first

Alien AU: Found Family? D E L I C I O U S. Aliens, A N G S T, Plot twist, and badass Vee doing whatever it takes to survive? *chef's kiss*

Royalty AU: Cool and D E L I C I O U S has underrated roles the Spooky Beloveds and Character!Thomas have L O V E it (Remember to take your time with this one I know exactly what it's like to really wanna work on an AU/Fic but not figuring out a lot of plot to write it'll come to you trust me maybe planning and playing around with different scenarios can help or some thinking about some of the character's backstories)

Fae AU: L O V E L O V E L O V E it it's got smug Cat coded Vee, Jan being a healthier parental figure Vee always needed, Fae!Ree & Jan, Dukexiety of course, and Jan having his son grow up a liiittle too fast for him XD

For the GO ask game — 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 10, 14, 15 please :)

thanks, ginger! that's a lot and i'm sure i've already answered a few of those - let's see!

1. when did you first watch/discover good omens, and how did you find out about it?

already answered here!

2. do you have any merch?

besides the book itself: a bentley enamel pin a friend gave me as a birthday present and some prints of fanart on my cupboard.. not really, sadly. i should get one of those bildad the shuhite t shirts i've seen people wear in tiktok videos lol

3. have you created any fanart or fanfiction, or really any content for the fandom?

already answered here!

4. what is (if you read) your favorite good omens longfic?

ho BOY here we go. there's a few, and i can't list them all bc that would take forever, but i also can't just list one story bc that is nigh impossible, so i'll give you my top 5: Slow Show, The Anon Before Christmas (by the incredible @foolishlovers!), The Grindr Logo Doesn't Even Have a 'G' In It, Or Be Nice & (just finished and i am Not Okay) Good Expectations.

i consider everything multi-chaptered and over 50k words as a long fic. some of these aren't that long and one is over 200k, so.. yeah. also, heads up, always read the tags first and also most of these are rated Explicit. :)

5. what is (if you read) your favourite good omens one-shot?

again, i've read some many fantastic one-shots that i lost count. but the first thing coming to mind (yes i know i'm biased shh) is the first story of my best friend's ( @beccibarnes) series Not A One-Night Stand: 14 times they canonically fucked ("naons" for short). i remember her pitching the idea for this series to me and it was/is so much fun brainstorming all the ideas with her. i'm honoured that she let me beta-read them all and i can't wait for the future fics to come :') (no pressure tho, becci, i know how busy life was recently <3)

6. who is your favourite side character?

already answered here!

9. have you seen any other work by david tennant and/or michael sheen?

already answered here!

10. have you ever imagined or created a crossover with another fandom for good omens? which one, and what was it about?

i haven't thought of any crossovers - tbh they're not really my cup of tea - BUT imagined two au's, one more or less as a joke, and one "serious" one. the first, joke-y one is a human au that takes place in the city i live in (hamburg, germany) (don't ask) (idk how i came up with that). this one is mostly in my head, but even tho it's kinda silly, i really like it.

the second, more serious one is, again, a human au: a ballet dancer au. just bc i watched some documentary about ballet and the one male dancer they interviewed looked somewhat like david tennant... you get the gist. i have some idea written down in a dusty google doc, but that's it.

14. what is your favorite good omens-coded song?

already answered here and here!

15. do you have any good omens playlists?

not my own ones - but i saved some made by others on spotify heh

ask game for people in the good omens fandom!

[omnipointmuses]

anyway before I pass out I'm gonna blather on about my favorite modded characters in risk of rain 2 so I can be a little positive about one of my more played games

Enforcer is cool even though his gameplay kinda goes against the speed meta of risk 2 but the power to just tank everything from the front is pretty strong, his shotgun feels nice and chunky, and he overall feels very nostalgic to the original character from risk 1, I also really like his nega-variant alot because of course giving a character a minigun and a large hammer is gonna make me like them

Deputy is just a better more mobile commando for people who like western aesthetics and tall ladies who will leap and entire football field to kick you in the face

Driver is just silly and overpowered, he's not super balanced but also the enemies in this game can oneshot you pretty easily so who cares. plus his gimmick of picking up disposable weapons tickles that fun part in my brain

Celestial tank also gets a mention but i didn't get a chance to play around with it enough to form a true opinion on it, but the idea that someone designed it's own UI, coded it's own physics, and made an endless amount of loadout customization is mind boggling, the devs should just make their own game or go work for one of the two tank mmos.

Hunk is probably my favorite modded character and I've only ever played one resident evil game, but man they packed so much fucking gimmicks into this one character it spits in the face of the design of this game and does it's own thing and it's fun, he has Ammo count Swappable guns Dodge and counter mechanics Enemy mounting mechanics Special elites in the form of the T-virus and G-virus Modifiable weapons Key cards he has to earn in order to get those new mods and weapons he can even have nemesis drop in on him and chase him around as an invincible enemy once he gets his hand on a certain item

So yeah that's pretty much it, I just want to gas up the modding community a bit and hope to god gearbox saves this game

Rise and Fall Of A Midwest Princess - First Listen

Before I Listen... I know next to nothing of Chappell's music. All I know is she's a queer person from America, and I'm pretty sure she's from a red state? And she likes to make big! statements about queer people in red states (go her honestly). And also that some of her lyrics are questionable. So! I am in my bedroom with my headphones, a clear floor ready for dancing, and this tumblr post pre-formatted for my thoughts on each song. Cannot wait!!!!! Getting started now.

The Album.

overall, the album had a lot lot lot of huge positives and a few little things i wasnt a fan of. it's a really strong pop album, it has everything you could expect in an album. its got diverse emotions and vibes and its got pop anthems and its got stuff to dance to and stuff to cry to and stuff you can do both to and it all flows seamlessly. there were two, three tracks i didnt fall in love with, but there were far more that i did. i absolutely applaud chappell because this album beautifully captures her struggles nad successes, a lot of which are somewhat universal for queer people. i really loved her use of crowd vocals and backing harmonies, i thought that was really beautiful, and i love how there was electronic production on acoustic instrumentation, i thought that was quite impressive and really fit this modern theme of like, the return of 80s production. i'm going to have another listen to some songs and them im going to listen to gracie abrams tsou album (which i still havent heard) so!!! if you want to see my thoughts on that, i'll post that in a few hours. also just posted my hmhas first reactions<3

As the Resident Evil series went on the word “virus” progressively lost any relation to the real world, and eventually just meant “monster juice”. RE 1&2 were about a virus slowly infecting a population over the course of days/weeks/months, the other monsters were all either zombifies animals, mutated bugs, or deliberately created genetically engineered hybrid creatures. Other than the main characters someone never getting infected, the “rules” for the T and G virus were pretty consistent in those early games.

Code Veronica was the beginning of the end. Code Veronica was like basically as soon as the virus leaked everyone except 4 people on the island were instantly zombies, also, it introduced the T-Veronica virus which we see 3 people infected by it and all 3 experience radically different outcomes, one dude was infected with it for over a decade and just kinda has grey skin and one tentacle, while another guy who just got infected suddenly transforms into the Incredible Hulk. By the time RE5/6/Revelations/etc came out the series was like “you inject purple goo into your neck and you transform instantly into a smack talking kaiju made out of meat.”, that’s not body horror anymore, that’s like edgy power rangers.

FIC TIME FIC TIME!

I disappear for months bc of artblock and come back with a (pretty much) fully developed AU and fic. Anyways, expect art of this AU when I feel up to it! I got a drawing tablet again yippee!

I present to you the first thousand-odd words from my DCA-centric fic: Heart, Mind, Soul! I am E A T I N G up the amount of angst and plot twists planned for this. Buckle up bc this fic will be a loooong ride >:) this snippet is kinda fast paced though, since it's just reflection. I'll explain the AU itself more in another post later on, but for now I was vibrating with excitement over sharing this lil snippet (even though it doesn't really show why it's an AU yet... hee hee the element of surprise).

CW: Brief mention of gore, fnaf-typical themes

Without further ado!

One thing that could always be guaranteed about the charismatic Sun, is that he loved cleaning. Adored it, even. He could always rely on the repetitive motions to calm his frequently chaotic headspace. It gave him the rare, fleeting sense of clarity in his mind to think. He was a busy bee, after all! But, as selfish as he may admit, possibly the most enjoyable part of cleaning was that it wasn't something intrinsically coded into his system. It was something he adopted on his own, rather than something grand and imposing on his mind that constantly bit at his wires until completed. It was a choice that he could actively make instead of something akin to a human impulse. Something to learn.

And learning, he very much did. Yes, he observed the staff bots every day as they went about their monotonous routine. He memorised where each and every cleaning product was kept amongst the cluttered daycare cupboards, even calculating the amount of product used per square metre of floorspace. The cycle repeated until he felt confident enough in his abilities to take over the task, something the staff bots didn't seem to object to, moving onwards to prioritise something else in a matter of moments. They came back for the first few days, but eventually stopped their scheduled visits upon realising that Sun was not giving up his newfound role of Daycare Sweeper-polisher-duster-sanitiser- and, well, the list continues.

If it wasn't obvious, cleaning was almost his favourite thing in the world.

Almost. Looking after his wonderful little stars could never be beaten. As much as he disliked being defined by the traits he was involuntarily given, he could definitely say that his love for children was the only gift the plex had ever given him. He knew for a fact that even if the strings of code weren't burnt into every atom of his metal frame, he'd still love his little stars. That would never change.

Cleaning also most definitely didn't come above his best friend! His Moon, oh how dear he was to Sunny. As if it couldn't get any better (spoiler alert: it did!), it wasn't long before Moon adopted the habit of cleaning too. Luckily, sharing a frame meant he didn't need to go through the trouble of learning the skill himself. Moon felt the distant muscle memory, for lack of a better term, of Sun's experience when he decided to take up the challenge upon a dark night at the Plex. Not that Sun would have minded teaching him either way.

Despite the contrary belief of many of the human staff members, they were two separate entities. They didn't have to share memories; they didn't have to share anything. But they did because they wanted to, and because they were close. Thoughts and feelings were always uniquely their own, but often they'd choose to share them with each other for the sense of comfort they so rarely received from anyone else.

Oh, his Moony was often so helpful, so wonderful, completing anything and everything he could while the daycare was bathed in darkness. It was always a wonderful surprise to take to the front of their headspace once the lights lit up their keep, and find their daycare practically spotless.

Those were the only times Sun would ever be shut out from Moon's vision. It was a surprise, after all! It was the only gift they could really give to one another. Despite this, Sun would always insist how Moon didn't need to do so. He would always love cleaning! He would always love cleaning up the little stars' mess, and loved cleaning up their messes too. He loved looking after his counterpart, and if cleaning was the only way he could get that across, then it was all the more reason to love doing so!

Until it wasn't.

Until he had to convince himself, through an onslaught of static and error codes, that the red on the walls, the floor, the play mats, and himself, was just paint. Just paint. That's what he'd tell himself. And if he happened to spot the sinewy ribbons of something that's supposed to stay inside the body, not out, then he seemed none the wiser.

So he cleaned, and he cleaned. It gave him time to think. It gave him clarity. It was something he could do; something he would. It was the only way he could show that he cared.

White optics held a thousand-yard stare as he scrubbed, recalling a time he used to look so fondly upon. Sun had always called himself an optimist, Moon used to tease that the correct word was avoidant. It was all in good fun, their teasing. It was a dynamic between them that they both held fondly. They were both smart and quick-witted in their own ways, so it was great fun to have someone who could keep up. There was never a time that they didn't take pride in living up to their jester-like designs. Now the former tease just seemed dead and cold as he turned it over and over in his headspace.

Then again, it was true, wasn't it? Moon was always a realist. The perfect counterpart, after all. Day and night. That was where their similarities ended, and their ever-growing differences began.

To this day, Sun can't recall when the change started, when the wedge between them grew and grew until it cracked them in half. They used to be so frustrated when people considered them the same being. Now, however, Sun can see why they did. They were so intrinsically one, so close and so whole when together that they practically were, despite being entirely separate consciousnesses. One plus one equals one when they get along. It makes so much sense to him, despite it going against everything his computer-coded mind knows is fact.

Everyone knows now, though, that they couldn't be more different from one another; Sun's once-radiant self now just half of a grim story suitable for a theatre. Day and night. Love and hate. Comedy and tragedy. Fear and fury. How fitting.

Yet, Sun can't find it in himself to say he's a victim. If anything, he's just as bad as his counterpart. How many lies will he continue to cover up, how many more stories will he have to fabricate, or faces will he have to act clueless to? At least he doesn't need to fake the distress, it feels like the only authentic part of himself left. He used to take pride in being the face of Fazbear's theatre. Now the former title taunts him as he relays the news of the temporary daycare closure to his silent headspace. Another day, another act.

Sun allows these thoughts to settle in the pit of his wires as he cleans. It gives him clarity. It gives him peace. It gives him time to think.

And he's always said he loves clearing up Moon's messes, afterall.

Aaaand fin! Idk if ppl will read this since I'm a pretty small account, but if you do then thank you so much and feel free to ask questions about the AU if you have any :)

As I am writing the next piece for the drabble collection, I came across another Penelope Scott song that just screams QSMP, so here's another song break down!

7 O'CLOCK BY PENELOPE SCOTT BREAKDOWN BELOW THE LINE

Cellbit while investigating:

So it hits me real hard

'Round seven o'clock

Drink a coffee and floor it

And get ready to rock

Foolish after the nether:

But there's nobody here

And nobody downtown

Jaiden being gone but not searched for:

If nobody hears you

Are you really around?

Forever as the new president:

So I'll wake up alone with salt in my eyes

And I haven't the slightest

And I haven't the right

The right or a clue

I wouldn't know if I knew

Slime having an existential crisis:

Trees bend in the wind and they are dark f------g blue

We never existed and continue to not

Street caves like it's rubber and it's not even hot

Maxo and whatever code stuff is going on with him (that I saw on tiktok):

The glitch in the game

I loop like a bug

And all I ever wanted was a really tight hug

F---k, man!

Roier about Jaiden growing distant again and again:

I'll call her again

But she's a huge f------g ghost

I fell for dead air 'cause it was all I could host

Tallulah about being ignored: 

And I'll cut up my shirts

And I'll sing in the rain

It doesn't quite matter

'Cause it all feels the same

Bad about wanting Skeppy there but also just wanting to leave:

I don't want what I want

Feels bad to feel good

CodeFlippa… (i think i’m funny):

I'm made of bad code

I'm waterlogged wood

Mariana after losing JuanaFlippa:

Ride through the feeling

Stay in bed for the fun

Felps after getting to the island and almost immediately being kidnapped:

The brand-new beginning

And I'm already done

Sophia being locked and then taken:

The future is static

It drips on the floor

And makes its way underneath my bedroom door

Quackity being back and having to relearn the world:

A glitch in the game

I loop like a bug

Trump… (again, I think I am funny):

And all that I ever died for was another tight hug

Ladies and gentlemen, a word from our sponsors

I am deceased, my nuts have been busted (bulls--t!)

Dapper about A1 (this is mean…):

So just get wrecked I guess

I mean you kinda failed the cool kids' test, I guess

It's kinda sad, if this is you at your best, I guess

It's not fun anymore

Ramon to Dapper (I kinda think of their dynamic as something that could turn into something like PacMike’s friendship):

I'm kinda bored so let's go f--k s--t up, c'mon

Let's go out

I am deceased, my nuts have been busted

Philza about trying to stay out of the federation’s way:

So I'll wake up again to twelve o'clock light

And I haven't the slightest

And I haven't the right

The right or a clue

I wouldn't know if I knew

Richarylson about not being like the other eggs (no bed, proper adoption): 

Trees bend in the wind and they are dark f-----g blue

We never existed and continue to not

The street caves like it's rubber and it's not even hot

Arin/Luzu because of this brief appearance this week:

A glitch in the game

I loop like a bug

And all that I even died for was another tight hug
