Lowering his weapon, Diluc turns to face them. Now that the blur of combat is over, he can begin to make out the details of their appearance, and the words of thanks die on his lips as he takes in the sight of what can only be described as a creature made of ice.

It’s mostly turned away from him, head turned to the side just enough for a glowing blue light reminiscent of an eye to be visible. Its body seems to be made entirely of ice despite its fluid moment, and there’s no hiding the danger posed by the large claws and sharp crystalline tail.

or, when in an unfavorable position diluc is saved by an icy creature strangely reminiscent of his missing brother

Dimitrescu Sisters Fluff Scale

𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: Nothing just fluff, def ooc

𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: -

𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞: I thought it would be funny HAHHAHA Nways dinner is served <3

I had to lay on the floor sm times just thinking abt what else to add

Bela Dimitrescu

Fluff Scale: 11/10

Look me in the eye and tell me this woman is NOT touch starved. Exactly, you can't bcs it's true

Sure she's busy most of the time but that doesn't mean she won't make time for cuddles

Poor girl is constantly stressed and done w her sisters shenanigans, give her a hug...

"Mmm..." She would mumble w her face buried in your chest as you ran your fingers through her hair, asking her how her day went.

When u guys first dated, I don't think she'd enjoy physical touch that much but would soon warm up to it and demands it always every damn time

You could walk into her room, see her busy and stressed n allat. The second you sat yourself in her lap, she'd immediately drop everything she was doing just to pull you closer and bury her face in your neck/chest while mumbling how much she missed you or how nice you smell

Waking up early? Don't even think about it, she'd whine and pull you closer "Don't go...just a few more minutes..." proceeds to cuddle in bed for an hour. R u gonna complain? HELL NO

Oh you're cooking? Would stand behind you with her arms wrapped around your waist and her face buried in your neck. "Bela I'm cooking..." "You can manage"

The second you open your arms, she'd immediately launch herself into your embrace.

Enjoys having her hair played w

Little playful nibbles and kisses have her heart

Would definitely kiss you all over just to hear you laugh

She's definitely the type to purposely brush her fingers against yours

Adjusts your collar, scarf, or hair with focused care, showing her attention to detail and thoughtfulness.

Would tots rest her forehead against yours after a kiss

Cup her face and she'd immediately lean into your touch with a happy hum. Trust me on this, I can confirm this fact cuz I'm married to her w 2 cat babies.

Def goes to u when her day is shit, crawling into bed and just laying on top of u, resting her head against ur chest to listen to ur heartbeat

Ur heartbeat = Absolute comfort

Cassandra Dimitrescu

Fluff Scale: 8/10

Bold but starved that's fo sho

Def wouldn't shy away from physical affection once she’s comfortable with her lover. Lowkey a natural flirt but also secretly craves genuine closeness which she masks with her playful teasing bcs idk...she's just built like that. Skibidi Alpha core

"Hah! Me? Touch starved!? Never!" While having you trapped in her embrace, refusing to let you go when you tried to squirm away just to prove her wrong

Would casually initiate lil touches but lingers longer than necesarry despite saying she doesn't care abt physical touch cuz it's stupid

100% would tackle u down playfully, saying that it's "just for fun and to test your strength" when in reality this is her way of seeking closeness w u w/o asking for it and embarrassing herself...cough and her ego cough cough

Pulls you into her lap w no shame whenever u two r alone "What? I can't pull my lover into my lap anymore?"

She’d want to be the only one you touch or hold and wouldn’t hesitate to make it known.

When u two r alone, Cassandra would soften. She’d lay her head on your chest, listening to your heartbeat, maybe even play w ur hair

Think of a manly dude cuddling his gf, immediately acts like he wasn't just whining softly when he saw her recording. Yea that's her.

Bold but starved that's fo sho

Grumbles when u point out how much she enjoys cuddling, says she's just bored but refuses to let u escape her grip

Def wouldn't shy away from physical affection once she’s comfortable with her lover. Lowkey a natural flirt but also secretly craves genuine closeness which she masks with her playful teasing bcs idk...she's just built like that. Skibidi Alpha core

She'd never admit it but she craves being held as much as she loves holding u. After a stressful day, she might just pull you close and rest her head on ur chest, staying silent but clearly seeking comfort which u happily give

Daniela Dimitrescu

Fluff Scale: 13/10

No words, just look at her.

This woman is CLINGY and she is PROUD.

Clings onto you whenever she can

Around you 24/7, either standing near u or just all up in ur personal space, clinging onto u like a koala

"This is y/n, she loves her personal space" "This is Daniela, Daniela also loves y/n's personal space"

Would be all over her you, always seeking physical contact. Whether it’s holding hands, cuddling, or resting her head on their shoulder, she craves constant reassurance through touch.

Being close to u = Ultimate comfort

Unbothered by how clingy she is, as long as ur aware of how much she loves u (and ur personal space)

Would tackle u before saying "Just wanted to be near u :3"

Kisses out of the blue

Just like Bela, she enjoys having her hair played w

Would pout and whine when u try to get up "Dani I need to piss..." "Okay and??"

Would giggle mischievously when she manages to pull u back down, clearly happy that she got her way

Eventually (reluctantly...rlly reluctantly) lets u go when u genuinely need to go somewhere

Also like Bela, wouldn't let u leave her bed "It's too early to get readyy!! Stay with mee" Proceeds to miss breakfast

She’d insist on sitting in your lap or making u sit on her lap, laying her head in your lap, curling up beside you with her arms wrapped tightly around you, just anything that involves being near u, she loves it

If cuddling was a sport, she'd ALWAYS win.

You'd be the first person she finds after a hard day, wordlessly throwing herself into your arms

Drama queen.

"You...you refuse to give me the affection I so desperately crave...?" you just said you were busy "Oh! I am hurt!" W her hand against her forehead and the other one on her chest "This is torture!"

Ur nightly cuddles consist of Daniela either falling asleep in ur arms or falling asleep w u in her arms, clinging onto you tightly as if you might just disappear if she were to loosen her grip.

When she’s feeling emotional or scared, Daniela would def crawl into your arms and cling to you silently, just needing the reassurance of your presence. "Bad day?" "Mhm..." "I got you, lovebug. I'm here" "Mm..." followed by small sniffles while u trace gentle patterns on her back which btw have I mentioned that she loves it when u do that? It's like the ultimate source of calm

She’d love giving and receiving soft, lazy kisses

Def enjoys playfully nibbling u.

[sluttyminghao]

hiii! it’s tots fine if u don’t want to do this but i was wondering if it was possible for perv dino… 😣😣

thank u @bitchlessdino and @okiedokrie for feeding into my delusions with this

you couldn't believe you had to buy another pack of underwear, it was at least the third pack you had been through and it's like as soon as you had worn them, they just disappear. you've checked the washing machine, thinking they might've been stuck or eaten by the machine, but to your dismay there was nothing.

"chan! im home from the store, i got the snack cakes you wanted!" your voice echoes through the seemingly empty apartment you shared with your best friend, even though you knew he'd be home. he might've been having a nap, considering he mentioned he was tired before you left.

with snack cakes in hand, you venture further into the house, only to hear the faint sound of the washing machine running and another odd noise you can't quite grasp. wanting to investigate further, you walk toward the laundry, only to drop the snack cakes at your feet in shock.

your eyes are wide as you see chan standing over the washing machine, a pair of your panties in hand. he's got the cloth held up to his nose, breathing deeply with his eyes closed, so he can't see you standing there yet.

upon further inspection, you can see an obvious tent in his sweats and a small wet spot on the front. your jaw drops at the sight, your body suddenly feeling warm and conflicted. it's a sensation you've never felt before, but it doesn't last long as chan whips his head around in surprise; you must've knocked the snack cakes on accident.

"w-what are you doing home so early?" the panties haven't left his hand and you can see his cock straining in his sweats. while he stumbles on his words, his eyes have a glint of mischief in them. your mouth opens and closes multiple times, but no words come out.

he can see your face turning pink, so instead of prompting you to speak, he drags you into the laundry and turns you around so your ass is flush with his clothed erection. you can feel him grinding against you ever so slightly, and can also hear him inhale deeply.

your body slumps over the washing machine as he ruts against you a little harder and faster, his body taking over from his mind. without a second thought, your hands rush to pull your leggings down and expose yourself to him, earning a groan from him and another inhale.

"fuck youre so hot, gonna let me fuck you while I sniff your panties?" the sentence alone has your legs squeezing together and a whine leaving your lips. his body leaves yours for a brief second, and you hear the rustling of clothing before you can feel his heavy cock resting against your ass, and he begins rutting again.

"i didnt hear you, sweetheart, gonna let the pervert fuck you stupid, huh?"

Snow - Dec. 15th - word count: 472 - @wolfstarmicrofic

Five little bundled-up figures were playing in the snow-covered backyard as their parents looked on in amusement.

“Catch this, Pete!” five-year-old James Potter yelled as loud as his little lungs would let him. He scooped up a handful of snow and hurled it at Peter.

Peter ducked. “Hey!” he pouted. “I wasn’t ready! That’s not fair!”

James stuck out his tongue. “I don’t care.”

“Readiness is for losers,” Sirius yelled from where he was laying in the snow while attempting to teach Remus how to make snow angels. “Join Remus and me here, it’s fun.”

“Oh! Siri, Remmy, Jame,” Peter said. “We should all get married!”

“Why?” Sirius asked, sitting up and tilting his head like a dog. 

“Because it’s already all white and pretty outside, dummy!” Peter exclaimed as if it were obvious. “And because we’re never gonna leave each other. Right?”

“Right!” James agreed, nodding eagerly. “Let’s get married! No kissing, though. That’s yucky.”

“Remmy, we should get married first!” Sirius shrieked, getting up and tackling Remus. “‘Cause that way we’ll be together forever and no one else can have you b’cause I’ve already dibsed you!”

“Mhmm, okay,” Remus nodded mock-gravely, shrugging Sirius off. “How d’ we get married?”

“Well, Maman says that her and Papa said some lovey stuff and kissed but we’re not kissing ‘cause that’s disgusting,” Sirius said, getting up and dusting himself off. “So uh, we can just say lovey stuff then?”

“Sure,” Remus shrugged. “Siri, you’re the greatest friend I could ever ask for-” 

“WAIT!” James yelled. “What about me and Pete? Remmy, you’re- you’re- evil!”

“Shhhh, Remmy is trying to talk here James,” Sirius said, turning around to glare at him. “Be quiet for a sec, okay?”

“Fine,” James harrumphed, crossing his arms and plopping down on the ground, pouting.

“Well, you’re the greatest friend ever, and you’re very smart and cool,” Remus finished. “It’s your turn now, Siri.”

“Remmy, you’re funny and you’re pretty and you smell nice, and you are my bestest friend no matter what,” Sirius grinned. “We’re married now, right?” 

James pouted even harder from where he was sitting, scooping up some snow and packing it into a ball before throwing it at Sirius’s back. 

It landed, and Sirius turned around, hollering, “Snowball fight!” 

“Aren’t they so precious?” Euphemia Potter cooed, watching the exchange from inside the house.

“Yeah, they are. You were right, Effie, leaving the Blacks was probably the best thing I could’ve done for my children,” Walburga admitted, sipping her tea as she watched a four-year-old Regulus run around. “Thank you for knocking some sense into me.”

“No need to thank me. Also, I’m never wrong. On that topic, I think that in fifteen years, give or take a few, Sirius and Remus will get officially married.”

“Oh, definitely. Twenty Galleons says they’ll be engaged at nineteen.”

“Deal."

(does this REALLY count as a wolfstar microfic? theyre literally teeny tots lmao)

LIVEBLOG: Wakfu Season 4, Episode 7

Grandpa piss, being a part of the Remote Viewers Division doesn't prevent you from being a deadbeat. KILL him Eva.

What were YOU doing at the devil's sacrement, King [insert name here] Sheran-Sharm!

I love women who are tortured for an eternity and then die in some way that will not kill them in a way that matters #signaliscore posts

Man haha I wonder if this might be saying something about Yugo (and Joris, but that goes without saying on this blog)

I have seen people criticize this moment, but let me be the devil's advocate: after seeing years of fans saying that Flopin is the boring twin, or that Eva has no backstory, them getting a problem-causing grandpa is literally so good.

And I think I understand why Flopin did this, since he says himself that he actually feels like the boring twin... I understand why he felt like going with this man, to learn about this guild, and where he comes from.

[starts hacking up blood] you know what other duo of demigods in this franchise had a twin who felt like they were living in the shadow of their sibling and his wonderful white fur—- [is shot by animal control]

I loooove comparing all the characters in this show, because it's genuinely a good way to approach Krosmoz, since Tot likes exporing the same themes (immortality/family) over, and over, and over, and over. And what I can say rn is: man, having normal parents makes jealousy-based plots much more tame. Atcham went in a "I want to be great like you, so I need to end you, you don't care about me like I care about you anyway" direction instead of a "I want to be great like you, so I'm gonna leave and work on myself, and then we can stand side by side someday"

I do think he is going to hurt his sister in some major way with this decision and in the end it will be a bitter, or bittersweet memory <3 I believe in the power of toxicity <3

To elaborate on the thing I said about titles, Astra is the ruling queen (to be precise, she is the daughter of the king of Bonta who was mentioned in seasons 1-2 and OVAs, who seems to have passed away); while her wife is either queen-consort, or a princess-consort.

However, Wakfu kingdoms may have worse, weirder rules than real life about inheritance.

The reason I am not getting my panties in a twist about the same-sex aspect of this (besides me supporting toxic royal yuri + being against homophobia or whatever) is that this is a magical universe, idk. they could adopt or get magically pregnant. It's literally a non-issue for me. UNLIKE PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTANDING THE CONSORT SYSTEM AND—-

Joris is present in all the kingdoms as Yugo's emotional support mediator/ambassador, except for Brakmar. I assume they simply do not let this fucking man into their palace, and rightfully so. He's literally a Bontarian narc. He'd use that chance to steal documents or some shit.

Btw I find it so funny how he keeps the same neutrally haunted look.

If a Bonatrian political leader goes for a week without wanting to start genocide against a people who isn't into the main 12 gods, they start getting the shakes from withdrawal.

I imagine living for hundreds of years and experiencing unimaginable suffering would make one pretty averse to being bossed around by some random guy who was born into wealth and has not known a second of grief in their life.

I feel it is important to point out: Joris was the one who made sure the meeting with Astra happened. He also felt this was important enough to try and organize meetings with other kings and queens. This is a dangerous situation.

As always, absolutely nobody listened. Nobody ever listens.

As I was saying, I imagine living for hundreds of years and experiencing un—-

I think the fact that Joris went with them has to say something about him. Yes, it is probably his sense of responsibility — he doesn't exactly want bad things to happen...

But also it explicitly puts a wedge between him and the Bontarian government. He values Yugo more.

I'm going to treat this as an ask :)))

I'm not sure if you wanted pre breakup content of GTOP being obvious and cute too (that was their most obvious era besides GD&TOP vol.1 and whatever their strategy was around and after the release of Zutter (THE WAY I HAD TO STOP MYSELF FROM INCLUDING ANYTHING OTHER THAN JANUARY 2015 JIYONG CHRIST SOME YEARS ARE JUST SO GOLDEN)) but since I wrote those words in regards to post break up wholesomeness, I'll be focusing on that. Also this isn't in chronological order ToT :)))

a) Yes this is GD being a horny bish but I love it so I had to add it. Anyways now to actually answer the question.

b) Dancing with his husband boyfriend

c) Him mimicking Jiyong after GD puts his hands in the air to cheer for his boyfriend's movie (he was so excited for it.. probably cuz he was gonna be sitting next to Tabi.. and also because in the interviews after all Tabi could say was "Jiyong was very happy, Jiyong was shocked at my body too, Jiyong this Jiyong that" it was CUTE and it was so clear he wanted to see Jiyong be proud of his hard work :''))

d) Watch every fan cam in existence of this performance, TOP was 100% serenading GD and he changed the lyrics of the song (just like he changed the lyrics of pretended) and it melts my HEART oh the GTOP feels :'))

e) Look at Tabi dance and then immediately look at GD to see his reaction ah look at the perfect thumbnail ah Tabi stop being so obviously invested in your boyfriend's happiness TABI STOP

f) THE reason this took so long: this YG press con. There was a gif of this moment and the reaction of Minzy (I believe) to GD&TOP laughing together is all the proof I will ever need is so telling but I couldn't find the gif or the vid so like... here are the pics ToT (Also people were yapping about him being sad cuz of S'ungrat's accident.. baby boo watch the footage we do have, all the members are equally sad but nobody is depressed like GD is when TOP wasn't around because of his scandal in 2017, okay?)

g) This OMG this this THIS.

h) Look at him being all cute to make GD happy oh look at him refusing to let GD's hand go for a second in the first gif oh look at him dancing for GD and GD only oh look at them.. okay yes I am drowning in GTOP feels.

i) Look at him holding that mic so that their arms are on top of each other oh lord so married in love, so subtle, so attentive.

j) And another one of TOP dancing for his baby boo

k) THIS. THIS VID. HE LIKE. TOKE HIS EARBUD OFF. TO LISTEN TO GD SPEAK. LIKE. THAT'S SO SWEET. THAT'S SO SO SWEET. AND ALL THE OTHER AIRPORT STUFF AROUND THIS TIME. It's giving Olivia Rodrigo and Louis Partridge at the airport except TOP can't be as obvious.. *sigh*.

l) This is just an iconic GD&TOP performance like.. Imma just drop this GIF and y'all know which moments are gonna be up here. TOP singing 'Missing You' and convincing my delulu heart it is a GTOP song, their interaction with the child in the audience, them scolding the members for their too long intro, their complementary outfits, ughhhh ToT

m) I knowwww this is GD but like. LIKE.

n) AIA concert again but like UGH so cute

o) The love. Periodt. PERIOD.

There is more but like, I can't come up with it rn lmao. Anywayssssss PLZ LET ME SEE THEM BE THE MOST OBVIOUSLY MARRIED COUPLE SOON GD I AM COUNTING ON YOU.

[arandomao3user]

. . . No, I am not reading Tim and Steph's story in "Secret Origins 80 Page Giant" why do you ask?

Anyways, I find it interesting how his story is called "Little Wing" despite the fandom agreeing that's Jason's nickname given by Dick. I don't even know of any comic panels that Dick calls Tim Little Wing, but the entire story is based on Tim and Dick hanging out in Blüd... Anyways, have panels:

(NOTE: I accidentally analyzed this whole thing... Oops. Anyways, ignore my words if you just want the panels :3)

Dick owns so many books. Books are thrown around. Dick wtf? WHAT IS A PEACE HOTEL!?

Okay so Peace Hotel is a non-fiction book, but also it's a nerd book about a hotel and blah blah blah... DICK IS A NERD!!!(/j)

1.) Not Tim thinking Cat Woman is attractive, Bruce telling Tim to f$-—k off when she's around, I'm dead.

2.) Tim could easily explain away a burn on his arm on that earthquake thing that happened whenever or something. I dunno the storyline for that. Also his Father doesn't notice his kid is in another city rn??? Jack, please, your kid gonna get kidnapped ToT

3.) "So how's your love life?" "How's yours?" "Point taken."

4.) I find it interesting that Dick asked if Tim has ever thought to live a normal life while his biggest influence/ reason he became Robin can almost 100% be blamed on Dick (/pos) as explained in this story.

Tim why do you NOT look like your parents? At all??? Bruce Wayne is secretly the Father! I KNEW IT! (or Janet bleached her hair, I dunno.)

"And then your parents died." Tim, baby, no ToT

BabyTimMentioned HE SO SMOL AHHHHHHH—

Also Tim just fully admitting that this was a severely traumatic experience for him at the time, he is like, three, four?? Four and he can remember this vividly. Brother need therapy...

Also can we get a shout out to that clown in the final image in that panel???

Bro is STRESSED. (DC bring back this clown YOU COWARDS!)

I like how a common theme with the Robin's is usually something like this. Dick had just watched his parents die, they were a pile of twisted limbs on the floor, and Bruce was there, the first one to offer comfort, and for even Tim he was comfort... And became a fixation/ special interest for Tim, apparently. Autistic Tim Drake head canon>>>

"I was an only child. My parents were away a lot on business. I had time." I feel the fandom might have latched on this panel and similar ones, 'cause that definitely sounds like child neglect, dude, and also, it does sound sad if you read into it.

Theory-ish/ probably reading to far into this, but: "I was an only child. My parents were away a lot on business. I had time." He was alone, lonely. He went through something traumatic early on in life and latched onto this single figure that gave him comfort in that time, doesn't mention that his parents were the ones to provide comfort nor does he say it. He says his Mom covered his eyes and led him out, but when he sees Batman? He's intimated, he was observing that Bruce was caring for Dick, he associated Batman with comfort and latched onto Batman, his entire childhood from that point on was about Batman. This being bigger than he himself. Comfort... I dunno, please give your takes if you disagree/ view it differently. I find this panel REALLY interesting.

Also, Dick doesn't comment on the ramble, he changes the topic? Probably just a way to progress the story, but it doesn't actually give how Dick feels about Tim's words. He's moved though between frames, from sitting beside Tim to creating distance, leaning against a wall with his arms crossed, closed off almost? Probably because he doesn't like thinking about that night himself. Changing the topic so he doesn't need to relive it.

I like how Tim basically credits Dick for his detective skills, at a young age his first case was figuring out who Batman was, and he learnt how to solve a case— his first, no matter how hard or easy you consider it— Dick made Tim the detective he is today... I really like that, personally. "You taught me to look at the patterns, Dick." As much as Batman, Dick Grayson was a comforting entity that unknowingly made Tim Drake who he is, as well as the third Robin.

"You kept looking at the clock in the foyer of the manor." I like this line, it shows that even before training, before he even put on the suit, it further shows that Tim is observant.

A lot in this panel, but I like to focus on how Tim took to the brains easier than the bronze, how he admits he even still struggles to this day with the physical stuff despite all his training.

Tim notes that at one point Bruce started to smile. He points it out, in the panel where we see it, Bruce does have a small smile, and Tim is looking (forgive me, I am terrible with facial expressions) but he looks in awe, in wonder, which I don't blame him. He's got mad hero worship, first for Batman then Robin, but he made his hero smile after losing Jason. I wish fic writers wrote more of this period, actually. Bruce cared for Tim, trained him, was kind and protective, he was not cruel. He cared for Tim, and Tim cared for him.

Also Bruce with the wrinkles... He looks aged by Jason's death, probably not intentional, probably not the intent at all, but I like that, I like Bruce with laugh / smile lines and wrinkles as proof of joy on a face that's sunken with sorrow. Like you can trace all the youth and joy that was sucked away from the loss of his son. I want more of that.

+1 Tim sass.

"I figured it out before he did." Tim being the world's best detective again, smh.

"I figured you'd be better off without the shorts." Bruce was so, so happy to get rid of those damn shorts ToT Bro is smiling so big, like you KNOW he was just waiting to get rid of those dumb ahh panties. Also, the reinforcements made into the Robin suit... Could make this angsty but I'll instead say: Bro was tryin' make him crowbar proof this time.

I like how Tim points out he trained overseas with multiple people, not just Lady Shiva. No clue who they are, personally, but it's still cool.

"I got a friend visiting." "Anyone I know?" "Little brother" AHHHHH ToT I'm okay, I'm okay, I just love them, I love how Dick is just— "Little brother." TuT that's his baby brother (for now) your honor.

Again, Dick himself doesn't understand why Tim does this... The entire explanation and he doesn't get it, he points out that Tim is almost fifteen, what he should be doing. But Tim explains all he's been through, Ebola and earthquakes and travelling the world, and, of course: "Batman needs Robin. Gotham needs Robin. I need Robin." It's crazy to think that, what, two decades later? Tim still thinks this, in Tim Drake: Robin, he believes this exact same thing, something he's lived by for years. He needs Robin, and he doesn't realize there's more to that until AFTER he moves to the Marina, till Bernard, he doesn't know who he wants to be and the most frustrating thing is by the end of TD:R, he chooses Robin still. He had growth of course in that series, but he (DC,cough —) won't let himself move past Robin, maybe because his entire life, as long as he can remember, has been about Batman and Robin. The comfort, the family, he's moved on from that, realized he wasn't alone after everything that comes later but, something still keeps him as Robin. (cough DC cough)

. . . DICK STAY THE F$-—# AWAY FROM THE BOAT OF HEROIN YOU DRUG LICKER!!! Anyways I think that is Oracle? I dunno, it's green, so either a voice in Dick's head or Babs is my guess... Or both. I don't know Dick's friend group in this time period.

Tim came to get away from multiple things, Robin being one, but he calls it who he's meant to be, who he is... At the time the comic was published that was probably inspiring and "WOW!" But today? Reading it? It's almost melancholy, ngl. Because he is still Robin, he's had this mindset for so long that this is who he is, he is Robin, that I'm glad for Tim Drake: Robin. Bernard helped him figure out his true self in multiple ways, but I feel the series was cancelled before we got to Tim realizing he's more than Robin, that he isn't Robin at all, he's Tim Drake.

Anyways, yeah :3

This is gonna be one of the rare "lemme yap about a 4* memory" because the new Promise cards now have this whole "animated" storyline thing going :c

(but also thanks to @rose-tinted-kalopsia X'D)

NGL... Somehow listening... uh .... running through this story, made me feel like I'm starting to feel just a tiny bit sick 🤣

(I was about to fall sick with like sore throat and headaches like about a week ago but I managed... to uh... like Xavier, sleep it off. I think it might be coming back again somehow)

In summary! I! HECKING! LOVE! THIS! MEMORY!

the domestic fluff along with their usual banter is just so cute! And and around near the end when Xavier is just being cheeky! Along with one of the rarer times when one gets to see MC just kind of. Not hold back on wanting Xavier's company is SO CUTE I CAN'T 😭

You know the drill! Spoilers under the cut (ヘ･_･)ヘ┳━┳

OKAY FIRST OFF... XAVIER YOU! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I could NOT keep it together! Just this man being so childish about his fever and MC needing to just put their foot down

Xavier... what are you doingggg 😭 just let yourself be taken care of!

NEXT TIME?! THERE IS NO NEXT TIME SIR >:C

THIS PART HAD ME CACKLING I CANT EVEN 🤣🤣🤣🤣

And this line tho...

firstly... OI (σ｀д′)σ u wanna pick a fight?

but secondly. this says quite a bit. About how after meeting MC, his guard is down more than ever. He doesn't need to force himself to stay strong all the time. That he now has someone he fully trusts and rely on 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

And now here comes Xavier, smooth as usual. But the fact that he ACTUALLY admitted it ToT

MC... I think this comes as NO SURPRISE??? ToT

You literally be hugging a sick person! of course you're gonna fall sick! Plus getting soaked in the rain! No wonder!

MC getting so antsy when Xavier doesn't reply... and when their phone pings, it was like... the disappointment was immeasurable 🤣

😩 same MC.... same...

And the return of Becky! for like... 2 lines lmao

Though MC must be pretttttty sick... to be this delirious ToT

But it's still cute. Plus, added bonus with the scenarios later TwT

😭😭😭 I feel like this applies to irl delulu moments fr. But if we turn off our phone, we won't get to see him... asdfghjkl

This had me for a moment 🥺 flash back to like Close Feelings Tender moment

And immediately 🤣

No explosions so... I guess he might've accidentally charred the porridge or something then. Oh poor Xavier. He sounded to sad there like. he really wanted to make MC something himself 🥺 aww baby.... you'll learn how to cook properly... someday... surely...........

Cute but that's just... how falling sick works LMAO

THEM PARROTING EACH OTHER AGAINNNNNN

MC just being the childish one now while Xavier has to coax MC into taking the meds 🥺

The way Xavier and MC, through out their storyline, it's just so much of mirroring each other. I recall there was some saying about it... brain can't remember it atm

闪来了！Though MC clinging onto Xavier, thinking this Xavier they're interacting with is just what they have been thinking or wanting... Feels a bit like MC to some extent, felt like there's a bit of a gap between them? Maybe just a small one where something is not meeting their... expectations? Is that the right word?

Xavier... then what else are you asking for??? ToT

The way MC takes it as a challenge thoooooo

AHHHHHH the teasing and banterrrrrrr

like what is this! why so cute! ლ(•̀Д•́ლ) they way Xavier casually just... suggests that he comes up with something and kisses MC's forehead asdfghjkllllll

(don't) STOP BEING SO SMOOTH

MC feeling shy all of a sudden from ittttt. And Xavier what you mean that's the most exciting thing?! asdghkjl o(--(

the yearning is real

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

WHY IS XAVIER PURPOSELY SPEAKING SO SLOWLY (at least in the CN dub) IN REPLY TO MC! ToT HE'S TEASING AGAIN

And Xavier, even out on a mission still thinks so much about MC T^T

ahhhh the ending is just... so sweet please. I'm gonna get sugar overdose thanks to these two!!!

OK. So I've seen people ask you stuff, and idk if your requests are closed or if it's just moots, but you can ignore this until your request are open again. 💔

I NEED a chubby reader x dteam. I barely have seen any chubby reader x dteam 💔 and I think it would go AMAZINGLY with your style of writing ❤️❤️❤️ (and maybe a little NSFW 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾) (and fem reader 🫠)

🙏🏾

my requests are closed but i am doing little thirsts n i really like this ask soooo / i also try to emphasise i don't think cc's treat people differently based on their body type but i do add extra descriptors for chubby!reader / anyways 16+ MDNI

dream sat behind you, his fingers dug into your pretty pussy, working you open while his mouth worked along your neck. ”such a pretty, pretty girl.” you moaned at all the combined stimulation, his free hand pulling your thighs apart every time they started to shake and close. the way his fingers chafed farther into the flesh of your thighs pushed you further to the edge. he chuckled when he felt your breathing hitch. ”awh, sweetheart, s'everything okay?” his voice is laced with faux sympathy to your ever-growing need to cum. the hand on your leg moved up tot the pudge of your stomach, drawing the lightest circles known to man while the fingers in your cunt brushed against the spot that had you seeing stars. ”go on baby, cum on my fingers.”

when sapnap pulled his tongue off your sex you whined, despite the fact that you'd just cum. ”oh peach, you wanna give me 'nother?” you nod down frantically at him. ”words.” he commands as he crawls further up to your face, pressing kisses all up the centre of your body, just to press a soft kiss to your lips. ”wan– wanna cum again. please?” your boyfriend smiles at you. ”anything for my darlin' girl.” he scoots back down between your legs, sucking circles into your legs before pressing his tongue flat against your pretty pussy, keeping his eyes on your scrunched up face. ”so much to love here darl', gonna make sure to kiss and love on your entire body.” all you can do is moan out, pushing your hands into his hair.

”oh my god, sometimes i just don't know what to do with you baby.” george coos, his hips rocking his cock in and out of your cunt. his hands are around your waist, squishing the flesh and pushing you farther down into the mattress. you moan into the pillows, the soft walls of your pussy clenching around his dick. ”shit, love. you're so perfect, you know that right?” you nod against the pillows, unable to get anything out besides your pretty mewls and moans.

AKIMAFU FOR THE WIN. Come here Mafuyu-Chan

Little Akito + Caregiver Transmasc Mafuyu

────⋆ ୭ ˚.⁺⊹ .ᐟ ⋆──

⋆ Starting off with age ranges! I see Akito in the kiddo age range, around 4-6. An age range Mafuyu would be prepared to handle! Training to become a nurse means he needs to be good with kids, I wouldn’t be surprised if his school has brought him to hospitals to do volunteer work to get a feel for things. Plus I think the kid in the Darkness Festa story was around 4? It didn’t give an age but like vibes. Mafuyu ran into a hurt kid and helped patch him up! So he has canon experience with kids

✦ Akito definitely has a tendency to neglect himself and his own needs, and hey guess what? If you don’t take care of yourself you’ll get sick. Pretty frequently. So Mafuyu makes good use of his nurse training! Akito is able to be bribed into taking medicine, and while he despises the idea of resting he can be easily subdued with cartoons or movies. Mafuyu isn’t the best at making cozy at home meals due to his practically nonexistent taste buds, so a lot of the time they end up doing take out! Akito always gets super excited to pick from a kids menu since he’s not in public to be judged, and Mafuyu will place the order as “And my little brother wants-” ৻( •̀ ᗜ •́ ৻)

⋆ Akito throws tantrums a lot. This boy is such a brat and I won’t be convinced otherwise. Mafuyu doesn’t have much of a tolerance for tantrums though, it’s not gonna make him cave, he’s immune to the puppy dog eyes and the crocodile tears. However he encourages tantrums! With how he was raised he ended up not expressing his emotions because emotions were treated like a crime, especially the negative ones. He doesn’t want Akito going through that. Especially since Akito is already going down the split personality path. Mafuyu will praise him for expressing his emotions in a way that doesn’t hurt anyone, let him cry it out, then they’ll sort things out after

✦ Akito and Mafuyu are honestly scarily similar, and while I love the “Come here Mafuyu-Chan” joke I also kind of hate it because now people only view these two as a meme. They’re so similar! Meaning Mafuyu knows how to read Akito. Really well. Any signs of Akito neglecting himself and Mafuyu’s on it, giving him the care he needs. Forced smiles, expressions, or words can be spotted a mile away. Mafuyu will give one warning of “You don’t need to do that with me. Try again” and if Akito still try’s forcing it Mafuyu can and will put him in timeout

⋆ Mafuyu is an absolutely horrible chef, however the one meal he’s trying to learn to make is pancakes! Akito’s favorite of course! Though it’s difficult to tell if he’s actually improving because no matter what he does, taste tester little Akito always gives the same ever answer “Tastes bad. Try ‘gain” As he proceeds to eat all of them. It’s genuinely impossible to tell if the pancakes were actually bad and Akito just ate them because he won’t let pancakes go to waste, or if he just wanted more pancakes. Most of the actual flavor can be drowned under toppings though! So if Mafuyu actually makes them really bad he’ll just add extra toppings

✦ Sorry to disappoint on this one but I genuinely cannot see Mafuyu using nicknames for Akito. Like not even a shortened “Aki” or “Kito”. Most of the times he won’t even use a name at all, but when he does its just a full “Akito”. On the incredibly rare occasion Mafuyu will call him “My Boy” but that’s only if Akito is to far lost in his own mean thoughts and needs some extra reassurance that someone’s there for him, that someone actually wants him. For Mafuyu Akito tends to use means names like “Freak” “Dummy” “Bully”, but as he gets sleepy and therefore less bratty it shifts into “Fuyu”

⋆ Mafuyu had absolutely no understanding of the Shinonome sibling rivalry, she sees nothing wrong with factually comparing the two. Akito absolutely despises it. Akito can be contentedly drawing and Mafuyu just glanced over his shoulder like “You draw similarly to Ena” and Akito just whines as loudly as he can in complaint, rolling around on the ground with over dramatic retching sounds. He throws a blanket over Mafuyu’s head as punishment and just walks away, because no way is he gonna continue drawing after being told that

✦ Akito thinks that he is absolutely the best at fashion styling, and so of course he dresses up Mafuyu! Especially on days Mafuyu’s feeling yucky and dysphoric. Because hey, your clothes can’t possibly be too girly, a toddler picked them out. Plus Akito’s signature of sorts in his style is the way he layers clothes! And layering clothes can help a lot with dysphoria. So both sides are happy! Akito’s happy he gets to dress Mafuyu up in his style and Mafuyu doesn’t feel responsible for his clothing, allowing him to feel more masculine! Also just about the only way to stop Mafuyu from wearing all black

────⋆ ୭ ˚.⁺⊹ .ᐟ ⋆──

I’m not sure if anyone pays much attention to the order of things from my inbox checks but a request is being temporarily skipped- Ash was a big dumb dumb and deleted the next request kinda (╥ ω ╥) But I reached out to the one who sent it asking them to resend it! So hopefully that’ll be up soon? It’ll instantly get priority!

[DNI ID: A box that’s purple on the left and orange on the right with a dark purple border on the left and a dark orange border on the right. Mafuyu to the left and Akito to the right. Purple text reads “DNI if your blog isn’t child safe” Orange text reads “I will block NSFW accounts” End ID]

♡• Can't even hypno eye his way out of this one-the deal specifically stating some sort of protection in your favour of it.

♡• Hates the chain and the idea of being "owned" but warms up to the "wifely duties" you do for him-delicious homemade meals, clean living space, a listening ear to his rants and ideas

♡• Headcanoning him having an immense love for sharks so having a yandere s/o who wants to hear all his info dumps, and random little ramblings gives some sort of comfort to him

Honestly about nightmare....it upset me quite a bit how he just didn't at all understand why Killer was acting out like this. It felt so obvious? Like with Dust showing up and Killer acting out in response to it....Unless this is a common occurrence? I am really wondering what nightmare thought about this, if he even tried to read Killer and his behaviour or perhaps ask Dust about the relationship between the two. Did he just not think anything about it? Just assume "oh its a kid throwing a tantrum, it'll pass"? Man i'd rly like to know it from his perspective. Maybe he is used to ppl throwing tantrums, considering I am pretty sure error flips out a lot too. I guess the problem hereby lies with the fact error is an immortal and an adult and killer,.,,is not. and nightmare just simple doesn't distinguish the two properly.

But honestly I think nightmare should have known better than to snap at Killer ToT..... I believe that him snapping did ultimately the most damage, error just kinda added a bit more salt to it to be put it simple. After all Killer favoured Nightmare obviously a lot more than Error, he was like a parent figure for him basically. So Nightmare snapping would mean a lot more than what Error says. I don't like how error told Killer that advice though, he basically just told him to "suck it up", in the pretense of "caring" for nightmare and not wanting to see him upset. It feels wrong to say that error cares though, because of how he is STILL stuck in the past. It almost feels like he is talking and giving advice to Killer more for himself than for nightmares sake.

Both error and nightmare are so inexperienced with mortals and so fucking mentally fucked up themselves, I doubt they will act any different unless someone who is a mortal corrects them...And I honestly thought Dust would do it? At one point it felt like he knew why Killer did it, but then it felt like he did not?

ultimate question however: how will nightmare react to Killers change? I wonder if alarm bells will ring or if he will just think that Killers "phase" finally passed. And I fear it'll be the latter.... So sorry for the long ass essay, I have SO many questions AND IT IS SO HARD TO TELL WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND HOW THIS MESS OF A MAKE-SHIFT FAMILY IS GOING TO DEVELOPE.....

You’re analysis is so wonderful and definitely the mixed emotions I wanted to give. Especially since good and evil doesn’t exist in Roseverse, just people and their actions. A lot of my YouTube and tiktok dragged on Dream solely for a while due to the limited knowledge, so chapter four was a big drop as it showed just how out of depth and horrible Nightmare and Error could be as well. I’m gonna try to answer each part of this the best I can without revealing too much!

1. Nightmare is used to Killer acting out, which happened a lot in the pilot, so he doesn’t put two and two together that these moments are connected- especially since Killer has never been put in a situation around him to show that he ALSO has jealousy issues as well as self esteem issues. For a while it was just them and sometimes Error in the castle, which Killer never showed an act of jealously towards- only distrust.

2. Nightmare’s perspective won’t be shown a lot in the next Bad Sanses chapter unfortunately, so I’ll try my best to explain his reasoning here. Don’t take it as a defense. I may explain characters and their actions, but at the end of the day, Nightmare is a adult and has a responsibility.

Nightmare’s main flaw (and I can now finally state this) is that he doesn’t care for people who are not under his radar. Saying he doesn’t know much about negative emotions is redundant, but his abilities to help with them have long since faded ever since the loss of Ink. Killer clearly is the product of a teenager with intense mental health issues, and Nightmare never got to see Ink as a bratty teenager. Killer is the only example around him and so he quite frankly sucks at it and sees his outbursts as…well…tantrums. He can’t fully see Killer for what he is and constantly sees him as a child due to his own age, and that belittling makes Killer’s emotions and rightful feelings come across as childish to Nightmare.

The mention of Error is also correct. Nightmare is used to emotional and violent outbursts since he was thirteen- especially from those close to him. Error and Nightmare as children weren’t healthy and Error was an abusive friend. I will always state that. However, though Error improved his ways, Nightmare never fully blamed him for such things and therefore never saw anything wrong with the people he loved lashing out and being hurtful. It’s normal for him- and also not smth to be addressed in his eyes. However, Killer is a child and as the adult, Nightmare has a responsibility to step in and correct his behavior with disciplinary action rather than passiveness. But, of course, he doesn’t until he finally snaps

3. Yeahhh I will say what Error told Killer didn’t bother him too much until he made the comment about Dust. Killer is far too use to the verbal abuse Error shoots at him that it rolled off of him and he was more annoyed Error was still in the room. Error and Killer just aren’t and will never be close enough for their fights to leave any impact. Nightmare, though? After finding out truly what Nightmare is capable of and then being told that? Oh, yeah, Killer is crushed.

4. This was one of the few times Error tried to actually help in his own way. Error doesn’t word himself well, even when being vulnerable. He hoped Killer would understand it as “there’s no need to lash out as ur already here and cared for. So just stop hating urself and others and finally feel secure. “ Was it not so great advice and easy to be misunderstood from what he actually meant? Yea. Did he just COMPLETELY miss the mark on mental health and the struggles of slowly getting over the fear of abandonment and the steps it takes to FEEL that security? YEAH LMAO. But Killer definitely misunderstood him as well. And Error also misunderstood something about Dust as well. I’ll expand more on that in my last point.

5. Dust may be smart, but he can’t put together a case without solid evidence and explanation and due to him not being there from the start, he doesn’t truly understand why Killer is acting like he is. He knows it has something to do with Nightmare, but what that actually is? He can’t know. I believe this won’t be a shock, but Dust does think Killer was being abused by Nightmare and therefore becomes like a guard dog. When Killer jumps him, that ideas gets thrown out the window and Dust is left utterly confused on the motives. He doesn’t hate him, though. He’s just confused, and hurt.

6. And unfortunately, Dust isn’t empathetic enough to be the one to truly understand things. Wonder who will be, though…

7. I cant say too much as that’s a chapter seven thing, but I will say it’s where Gus the immortal frog comes in (Killer’s pet) and given by Nightmare. I’m sure you can put two and two together as to why Nightmare, who is clueless about everything teenager related, is stooping to giving the apathetic Killer a pet 😭

8. Almost forgot this part but Killer is an unreliable narrator. He will always be, and the next bad Sanses chapter will see that, as it won’t be in his perspective solely. Everything he sees and thinks is unreliable. For example, when they reach the au and Dust is slowly blinking at him while Killer demands to know why he came too, Killer takes it as a threat. What if Dust actually doing? Blinking at him like he’s a angry cat bc Dust doesn’t understand emotions and defeats to animal behaviors to help soothe this teenager LMAO

can we talk about how jungkook rarely ever does fan service on stage (like flirting with the members and stuff) even if they initiate it? he either plays along for a bit or just gets shy and smiles/laughs it away, EXCEPT for jimin. jungkook ALWAYS plays along with jimin's flirtations OR he initiates it himself. i never saw him trying to seduce a member on stage OR be seduced by a member on stage except for jimin. jikook both don't like doing fan service (jimin said it directly and jk is too shy to do it) but they both do questionable stuff on stage together that they don't do with other members (especially jungkook) and it makes you think... "huh. these bitches really gay."

RM and Suga are the 2 that don't do FS. And if it happens its so rare that even as I type this I can't think of a moment when RM did FS. Especially in recent years. My mind is blanking on this. But the funny thing is, if it weren't for JK Jikooking with his boyfriend I would tots add him to this list of members who don't participate much in FS. I am choosing to exclude Tkk FS moments because 96% of them are initiated by V. So when u really think about it, without V, those moments wouldn't exist.

V is quite good at this FS thing and has even managed to bring that out of RM and Suga.

Also excluding Jinkook coz they're usually just goofing around, really. No amount of slowmo can make Jinkook moments charged. Sorry.

But back to Jikook. Anon I'm inclined to agree. Any Jikook FS that takes place on stage has been initiated by both. JK rarely initiates with the rest. This is a good topic to think about actually.

But it makes sense. If he's gonna be forced to hide his relationship why not milk fanservice for all it's worth??

What was he doing exactly?? What was... what was he thinking? Does anybody know?

He had Mimi all freaked out... torn between wondering if JK had lost his mind while still trying to control the butterflies in his stomach. Best part is while JK leaves Jimin completely disoriented and confused, he proceeds to touch his chest and close his eyes like he's been hit with all the feels in the world.

Here is a compilation of this moment from several angles

Anon you are right; Jikook do be kinda sus 🤔

[jj-maybanks-daughter]

Sisters

y/n and her older sister, Emily get in a fight about a boy. Jj, their dad, and the pogues try to calm the girls down

"GOSH emily! Why do you care! Butt out!" Y/n screamed to Emily who was only a few feet away

"When your crying every day don't come to me." Emily calmly said back

"I hate you!" Y/n screeched smelling her door

Emiky rolled her eyes and went back to her room, also slamming the door.

"There's not one day we don't have tot deal with this" Jj huffed as he walked up the steps, pogues following

"what is it today?" Pope remarked

"y/n told me about it. Its with tristen. I guess Emily thinks he's gonna " break her heart" because when she was in eighth grade that's what her little boyfriend did" Sarah explained

"you guys go talk to emily.... Ill take to y/n" Jj directed as he turned to y/he room

"knock knock" he said, openinf the door

She turned around on her bed to look away from him.

"what's going on" Jj asked shutting the door behind him.

"Emily's being a bitch"

Jj cut her off "hey"

"what! She is! She always thinks she knows so much better than me and she doesn't understand!" She shouted. "No one does." She added calmly

"come here." Jj pulled her into a hug and put her shoulder on his head. "Talk to me. Why do you think thta "

"I dont know. No one ever listens to me and just ignores me and ill tell her I don't want to go do something with her and she's like "what's wrong with you, everyone likes doing that" and I hate it"

"that's really frustrating. Anything else?"

"nobody likes doing what I do. I want to go on the boat, everyone else wants to surf. I want to take a walk, everyone wants yo watch a movie. We never do what I want to do."

"ad that makes you feel unwanted." Jj tried to understand. He sort of knew what she was coming from, but didnt know how to let her know he knows.

"yea" she sniffles

"well ill tell you what . on some days we can do what she wants and on the others we do whay you want. Does that sound good?"

She nodded her head and pulled out of the hug. "go apologize to your sister, please. I'll talk to her later"

"ok" she half smiled and walked down the hallway.

From then on out, they did what jj suggested. And all though there were still arguments,it wasn't as often.

DROS CH2 Part 6 First Impressions

It's Valentine's Day (or, it was when the part released), and I can't possibly think of anything more romantic than spending it solving a horrible murder! Let's get into this trial!

CWs

"Noah: Alright, let’s get started…!" Glad to see the trial grounds have lifted his spirits (?)

"Vanessa: Y-yeah! Let’s pick a topic and get to the evidence!

Harper: Are you two alright…?" Oh okay good, I'm not the only one thinking that's weird coming from those two xD

"Kennedy: We will! Because I’m going to solve this thing and figure out all the mysteries this game is hiding!" Ah, missed ya', Kennedy.

[Nonstop Debate] Let's go!

Actually I have no idea what to shoot :v Everyone's kinda saying what I believe, which is that Robert died of drowning. Maybe...

"Taylor: Couldn’t it be poison again?" Shooting Vivi's Autopsy at this?

"Vanessa: Like, it could be a lie, but it seems like it’s drowning, right?" Or Damp Body at this? Idk

[Answer: Vivi’s Autopsy → “it seems like it’s drowning”] Yeah that was another possibility :p

"Ellis: Vivi already told us that the Monoquin–or should I say, MQ– File..." Wait are we actually abbreviating "Monoquin" like this? I somehow didn't catch that, but it's pretty funny :p

"Grace: I don’t trust Vivi.

Vivi: Oh, come on! Why this again?!

Grace: Anyone can see that it would be beneficial for the killer to control information. 

Vivi: And anyone with a brain would understand that I’d do the autopsy either way! Stop accusing me just because I’m trying to help!" Leave my girl alone ToT

"Mark: Do we have any concrete proof to back up Vivi here? Just to avoid this argument?" [Evidence Select] Okay so I accidentally looked ahead but I'm pretty sure I woud have said the right answer (Damp Body) anyways :p

"Vivi: Great! Because, as you should’ve learned last time, if you actually trust me, this thing will be a whole lot easier!" I know Vivi, don't worry I trust you.

"Kennedy: Aidan! You still have to explain to everyone what you were doing earlier." Oh, time to talk about this!

[Aidan's explanation] Similar to what we had earlier, still just as sound as ever. It makes me wonder how future killers are gonna try to play around this. Now that the option is on the table and everyone's aware of it, the killer's gonna have to force the BDA, otherwise they're cooked. I guess that's a consideration for future trials, though.

"Aidan: If you don’t believe me, then it’s a good thing it worked out anyways." [Evidence Select] Uh... Body Discovery Announcement I guess, since Aidan's part of the three discoverers and thus confirmed spotless. Maybe mix it with Alibis to confirm that no one else saw the body.

[Answer: Body Discovery Announcement + Regulation #6] Okay I guess that's also fair xD Forgot those things were always bullets as well :p

"Paris: Or you had this plan going into the Class Trial, and you manipulated the Body Discovery Announcement in order to “clear” your own name~

Mark: …She raises a good point." ...No she doesn't? Unless she can come up with some way to do that. If no one else saw the body, the BDA clears them, there's no loopholes. What is she implying, that someone saw the body and didn't notice? That someone else saw the body, and Aidan's convinced them stay quiet or something? I mean I guess it isn't impossible, but y'know.

"Aidan: Do you trust Ellis’ luck?

Vanessa: Huh?

Aidan: Let’s say I am the blackened, and eventually, you’ll figure out that one of us three has to have faked being part of the Body Discovery. Why would Ellis be in that group? It’s the highest risk category." Well this is a hell of an argument xD I guess it isn't horrible, though. Although if you think about it long enough it kinda falls apart (there's no particular reason the others distrusting Ellis is a bad thing for her above distrusting any other spotless, since any vote on a spotless gets everyone killed anyways), but oh well.

"Taylor: “Luck isn’t something you can rely on so easily, darling~”

Vanessa: …

Taylor: I-it’s a pretty good argument…!" Hey I'm sorry Taylor but did you really take Antonia for that? I genuinely still find it incredible they keep doing this, what's wrong with them??? I love them xD

"Vivi: Isn’t it kinda weird that Aidan was so calm? Like, everyone freaked out when it was Cass’ body." Was Aidan even particularly freaked out by that? I guess he must have been, if Vivi's bringing it up.

"Davis: I believe Aidan.

Jeff: Of course you do.

Davis: What’s that supposed to mean…?" Lol. Lmao, even xD

"Harper: [The BDA] can’t be faked without doing something to fake it, can it? So, we’ll go through the Trial and figure out what happened, and if we discover a trick within those solutions, we’ll know the truth." Thank you Harper, that's what I'm saying! xp

"Kennedy: I’m not done with Aidan yet.

Davis: Can you please just… move on already?

Kennedy: Relax, I’m not accusing him. I’m talking about what he saw, if he is innocent.

Aidan: Yeah, makes sense. Alright, let me share with the class." [Nonstop Debate] I got worried about Kennedy for a moment, but yeah, Aidan is an important witness lol. Anyways, yay Nonstop!

"Vanessa: It seemed pretty normal during investigation…" I'm assuming we shoot State of the Villa here, since that's the bullet that mentions the water in the tub, which I'm assuming is where we're going :p

[Answer: State of the Villa → “what could’ve drowned him"] ...Or that, yeah. It's basically what I was trying to get at. With how many things there are to shoot in any given Nonstop, it's sometimes kinda difficult to tell some options apart from others xp

"Kennedy: The bathtub?

Paris: It’d be the best place to drown someone in one of the Villas, right?

Kennedy: That means it’s too obvious." Oh hey, me and Kennedy agree! What an unprecedented event which certainly doesn't happen a worrying amount! xD Though I more so believe that because of the lie in the MQ file (fuck it I'm using the abbreviation too), as the location is the most likely to be the lie imo.

"Taylor: Well, if we’re sure that it was drowning, then the only things that can be the lie are really the time or the location, right?

Davis: So, there’s water in the bathtub. What does that tell us?

Noah: That the location was accurate…?

Jeff: Does that mean the time’s the lie?

Mark: …Does it…? [Puzzling Pieces] Speaking of the MQ file lie :p

"Davis: Was anywhere else particularly dry or wet?

Jeff: The hell does “particularly dry” even mean?

Davis: If somewhere looked like it was messed with by the killer, I mean.

Davis: Somewhere that really should have been wet, but it wasn’t." Okay I tought "particularly dry" was hilarious when I first read it, but Davis raises an interesting point, actually. Now that I think about it, there wasn't any mention of water going from the tub to the closet, right? Oh that's extremely suspicious actually how didn't I notice before?! Unless it dried, which I guess might be possible... hm...

"The _____ _____ be _____ by _____." Okay wow I'm actually really bad at these what do I do.

Uh... "The body should be dry by now"? Going with the idea that the time is the lie. I don't believe the time is the lie, because Vivi's Autopsy, but I could believe that this is the direction the trial's gonna go for now. I hadn't considered how dry the body should or shouldn't be in my original theories, but I guess if the body should be dry if he'd been killed at 9:15, then that supports the idea that the body got wet a while after the murder, possibly if the killer crossed the Fountains while carrying it.

[Answer: The bathtub should be dry by now.] Ah, that also makes sense. Although this doesn't clear up anything actually, which is kinda why I didn't even consider it xp If the time is the lie, then the bathtub could be wet because it happened way later than the file says. If the location's the lie, then the bathtub could be wet because the killer turned it on to appear as though the murder happened there way after the murder actually happened.

I am... not doing well in these minigames am I? xD I gotta lock in chat what is this.

"Kennedy: The time being different is too obvious. Clearly, the killer knew we would be searching for the lie, so they constructed a world in which we would think the lie was the time instead of the location; that’s why they planted the water. Maybe they even expected us to see through that lie, so they also set up a false alternate location and the real lie–" I love it when I have to reread Kennedy's lines to follow along (/gen), it's awesome xD

"Mark: Could we step through it together?

Kennedy: …

Vivi: Uh… let’s talk it over as a group, okay? I mean, I’m pretty sure it must be the location, ‘cause my autopsy determined the time was about right, but… we can come to a conclusion everyone can believe, right? Kennedy, you wanna start?

Kennedy: …Alright." [Nonstop Debate] Theory Trio going in!!! And another Nonstop! :D

...Okay it's getting dire. I genuinely have no clue where I'm supposed to be going with this.

"Noah: …Hey, uh, what if it was the time though? What would that mean?" Maybe Vivi's Autopsy here? Feels kinda redundant since Vivi just mentioned it... This is maybe the most likely in my eyes?

"Paris: It’d be about who’s with who, right?" Though maybe Alibis here to start talking about that? Idk.

[Answer: Damp Body → “the water should’ve dried by now”] I am not doing well, I should've gotten this T_T

"Ellis: Robert’s skin had fully dried, huh…? That probably didn’t take all of five hours, but the time it would’ve taken for his skin to dry is still longer than the time needed for the tub. That would add to the idea that the tub is a trap." Yeah this makes sense, thank you Ellis Ortiz the GOAT.

"Aidan: Slow your roll. No one’s gonna listen to you if you go off on your conspiracies.

Kennedy: It’s a theory! And a founded one at that!" Have I mentioned how much I love this beef? I have, but it bears repeating :)

"Vanessa: So, wait. If Robert’s body is dry, then that means that the murder was at 9:15…?

Grace: I would say that seems likely.

Vivi: It’s definitely true. Like I’ve been saying the whole time… " This is why y'all need to listen to Vivi more! Smh.

"Grace: I doubt that would get us very far. Though, along those lines, it would be possible to see if anywhere seemed… too clean, wouldn’t it?" [Evidence Select] I also accidentally spoiled myself on the right answer here (Robert's Room), but given there's not a lot of places that could be talking about, maybe I would have answered right anyways.

"Ellis: Robert’s room seemed exceptionally normal. I know how that sounds, but literally nothing looked moved, like a ghost had been living in there. Er– you know what I mean." I hadn't clocked this as strange, but yeah, it's a good point.

"Davis: In any case, it seems like we can agree that Robert willingly let the killer in, or at least opened the door for them.

Noah: Does that tell us anything about the killer…?

Paris: Well, I heard Harper was going around to people’s rooms and giving them gifts to cheer them up. It would’ve been nice for the killer to have set that little precedent for themself~" You know Paris I really would like to stop suspecting you of literally every bad thing in the killing game, but the fact that the murder happened inside and you're my top suspect out of everyone inside, combined with you saying shit like this, when you know Harper has an alibi from breakfast to 11 (covering 9:15, the time of murder in the MQ file) is not helping. I swear I don't hate her she's just so suspicious always and for what T_T

"Harper: I was with Davis at 9:15 AM. Unless you’re suggesting that I committed the crime from afar or that the Monoquin File lied about both the time and location, that would be impossible." Yeah that.

"Kennedy: Me, Mark, Harper, Davis, Paris, and Taylor are all in the clear. Plus Ellis, Vanessa, and Aidan, if we’re going off the BDA." Yeah, if you trust the Taylor and Paris alibi. Thing is, indoors people without alibi are just Noah and Vivi, and I don't particularly think they're the killer here. Jeff also has no alibi, but it's risky to lie about being in the pool without making sure no one could have seen it.

"Kennedy: Figuring out how the killer got inside or outside." [Nonstop Debate] Oh yeah we do need to talk about this, right? I'm assuming it's time to bring in Jeff's Account.

"Harper: That’s true… Robert’s room is quite far away from the body discovery site.

Harper: Is there a more direct way they could get his body outside?" You know, I thought about dropping Robert's body from a window, but that would probably cause some damage that Vivi's autopsy would have caught :p

...Though, wait. Order List mentions the rope that got ordered was long, which is strange, because you wouldn't need such a long rope just to tie the closet shut. Maybe the window idea isn't so insane? If you tie Robert by the waist or something (making sure to put the rope above his clothes to avoid rope burn), then you could lower him slowly so as to avoid injury, and then maybe climb down there yourself, which would avoid the whole "going through the Fountain Bridge" problem.

...Are there even windows in these rooms?

Okay I went back to check the Prologue real quick, yes there's a window in Ellis room and thus presumably in all the others. Though I've also realized that maybe I don't understand what the hell the layout of this thing is? According to the Prologue, Ellis' window overlooks “a pretty are with fountains”, which I assumed to be, y’know, the Fountains. But… how?

Like I'm probably being extremely silly here because today is clearly not my day when it comes to actual coherent thought, judging from my minigame guesses, but... if the Foyer door leads to the Fountains (which, it has to, right? There's no other doors to get outside), then Robert's window would overlook the fountains, but Ellis' would need to look past Kennedy's room to see those. Ellis' window would more likely face the Monorail. Unless the "pretty area with fountains" that Ellis says her window overlooks is different from the Fountains in the map... am I losing my mind? T_T

Okay me not understanding maps aside, I'm going to go with Order List -> a more direct way because I don't even know anymore.

[Answer: Order List → “a more direct way”] We got one!!! This is the start of the comeback I believe.

"Mark: Exactly. If you look at the map… Robert’s room is right in the front of the building. You could easily lower yourself and the body down and end up just slightly to the side of the Hotel door." Okay the fact we're actually bringing this up makes me even more confused about Ellis seeing fountains outside his window- no, no, I'm done talking about it.

"Jeff: Oh, come on. Why can’t they just have gone through the Fountains?

Harper: Through?

Jeff: Yeah. Take a quick swim, pop out over by the Monorail Station. No one goes to the Monorail Station. You’d be fine." You know, I may not have caught the rope thing, but I'm still somewhat proud I actually called the killer going through the Fountains (if that even is what happened). Like, it wasn't particularly hard to call, but y'know. I gotta take my Ws when I get them xp

"Vivi: Honestly, I think Jeff is right. The Villas have, like, hotel type stuff, so they have a blow dryer and whatnot. As long as the killer could make it into the Villa of choice without getting spotted– which checks out with it being the farthest from the Hotel– they could make themself passably dry and look totally normal." Alright that's very convenient and easier than my other ideas on how to dry oneself after doing this lmao.

"Kennedy: Then, we should figure out whether the people inside or outside are the ones responsible.

Grace: If the killer could easily move back and forth anyways, would it really matter much? They could dry off in both the Villa and Robert’s room. Thus, anyone would have access to anywhere." Incorrect, Grace! It's easier for someone inside, since the rope needs to actually be placed in Robert's room in the first place. If they were outside, they would need to put the rope in some other room before going outside, then go inside, move the rope to Robert's room, and proceed. Plus, it wouldn't benefit them to move the body, since the body being the Villa would make the people outside more suspicious if taken at face value. It makes significantly more sense for them to start inside. I'm assuming all of this is about to get brought up, but y'know.

"Kennedy: There are still things we can consider. Pick a side, everyone! It’s time to figure this out.

Taylor: O-okay! I guess we’re doing one of these now… 

Monoquin: I’ll prepare the Trial grounds." [Scrum Debate] Wow Kennedy was quick with it huh xD

Wait why is the doc title "Ch 2 ScrumDeb 1"? Could there be a second one in the same trial? Crazy if true. Also crazy is that I need to figure out how to format this lmao.

Also why is Ellis in "outdoors." Was I silly in assuming the killer would be indoors?

"Grace: Robert was killed inside. Wouldn’t it make the most sense for the killer to hang around the _____ of the murder?" Vivi - Site. No other option really :p

"Aidan: It’d be easier to predict where _____ might come from if you were inside. The walls and doorways give you something to go off of." Harper - Witnesses. I guess.

"Mark: People are in more consistent locations inside. It’d be easier to find an _____ after the murder there." Paris - Alibi. Hey "inside" people you're not really arguing the correct points here :p The alibis don't really mean anything.

"Jeff: We figured out the File’s _____, and that means the murder happened inside. End of case." Kennedy - Lie. I'll concede that maybe we jumped to Robert's room as the true murder location a bit too fast, but it is the best idea we have atm.

"Vanessa: Vivi and Noah’s behavior has been, like, totally _____, right? So it wouldn’t seem suspicious if they claimed to have been alone all day…" Ellis - Predictable. Because "predictable" is the only adjective there lmao. Also what is this argument. Is anyone gonna bring up that there's no reason for the killer to put the body outside if they were outside themselves? Alright, I guess this is the direction we're going now.

"Vivi: The killer is just as likely to have hung out around the site of the body discovery as the site of the murder! Honestly, it makes even more sense if the body discovery was where the killer ended up…" Does it? The killer would want to get away from the discovery location, especially if the wanted it to be perceived as the murder location, no?

"Ellis: I dunno, I just think that the fewer times that the killer had to move between inside and outside, the better. Swimming through the fountains again and climbing up the rope seems like a hassle. If Robert’s final resting place is outside, then doesn’t it make more sense for the killer to have just stayed outside?" Okay this is an actual argument, thank you Ellis. But it still has the issue that either Robert didn't die inside (which would make the rope useless), or the killer had to get from outside to into the building before the murder. The amount of times the killer moved between outside to in remains the same, unless the killer killed inside, went out and never returned, hiding when the BDA happened. Though I guess in that case they could claim to have been outside from the very beginning, instead of claiming to have been inside the whole time when they were outside for a while.

But that still leaves the issue of motive (why move the body outside? Just leave it inside, it gives you a better alibi. Unless you're playing four dimensional chess and claiming that because an outside killer would want the body inside, then having the body outside makes it less likely for the killer to be outdoors, but that's... a lot. Only Kennedy might believe that me thinks :v), and the fact that the only people outside who aren't cleared by either alibi or BDA are Grace and Jeff, which are looking less likely as we go.

Eh. Maybe it's Grace. I don't know, I could still see it going either way :v

"Jeff: Okay, sure, but has anyone considered that I’ve been staying mostly in one place too? I’d be setting myself up to be obviously gone from somewhere if I were the killer, too!

Grace: Oh, definitely, because when Jeff isn’t present at a location, we all immediately jump to “because they’re murdering someone.”

Jeff: Aren’t we on the same side here?

Grace: Are we? If we’re the only two suspects remaining, we aren’t any longer." Ooh, things are heating up! :O Grace is starting to act a bit more hostile, but we're kinda early in the trial for that if they're the killer, no?

"Vivi: It is true that, for both sides, we weren’t really arguing based on anything…" Okay so I'm not completely insane. Well, maybe I am if the one agreeing with me on the shakiness of the arguments is the Mad Doctor, but here we are I guess.

"Aidan: If it comes down to it, we can just pick someone and go after them until they come up with a good enough excuse. Rinse and repeat until we find someone who can’t.

Taylor: “Isn’t that… unnecessarily cruel…?”

All: …

Aidan: If it’s what we have to do to find the answer, it’s what we do, cruel or not. Figure something out or I’ll pick for you." [Question Completion] Alright, interesting way to go. Also who is Taylor impersonating here? From the reaction, maybe Robert? Idk :v

"_____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ _____?" I'm gonna lock in "What did the File lie do for the blackened?" I'm assuming that's the idea, though the wording might be a bit off. There's probably a way to word this so that you can say "Monoquin File lie" instead of "File lie", but I ran out of room :p

[Answer: What did the Monoquin File do for the blackened?] Ah, got it. So "Monoquin File" instead of "Monoquin File lie." Makes sense, I'll take it.

"Kennedy: …No, she’s got a point. There should be something specific.

Noah: Should there…?

Kennedy: That was a mistake we made last time. We thought that the murder location being a lie could’ve just been part of the Trial. But it was Antonia in the Casino. That’s something that’s inherently incriminating. There should be a clear path as to why the killer would want the lie in the File to be what it is." Thank you! So the killer was inside, that's where we're going with this, right?

"Harper: If we’re all agreed, then I suppose the next step is figuring out why the killer would want that lie in particular." [Puzzling Pieces] Yay more minigames! :D I feel like I haven't been making it apparent enough, but I do really enjoy how many of these there are. They're really fun to play!

"Mark: It is inside, though.

Mark: That could be incriminating to the inside people, if the point of it was to try to get the burden off their shoulders.

Kennedy: But that could be what the outside people want us to think!" Isn't this exactly what I said before? It's getting to be legitimately worrying how well I can read Kennedy's overthinking ahead of time xD

Okay chat I am bad at these. I've come up with stuff that makes no sense ("An __ killer would want the room to be open at one point"???), but maybe the most coherent thing I have is "An inside killer would want the murder to be outside at one point." Most likely wrong, but my brain hurts T_T

[Answer: An inside killer would want the murder to be outside at one point.] Okay hold on I'm goated. I have genuinely no idea how I managed to get that right xD Puzzling Pieces is probably the most satisfying minigame for me when I get it right because I never feel like I know what I'm doing and somehow it works anyways :v

"Paris: Kinda like I said, right? If you center the case around the lie, it falls apart. The lie is that we couldn’t go from inside to outside without getting caught." Yeah you wouldn't want the thing to be centered on one lie. So maybe you'd want there to be two lies. Such as if your bestie was possibly covering for you, right?

I don't know if Paris is the killer or not, I'm just suspecting her for funsies at this point xD

"Noah: So, it’s… one of us…?

Davis: That’s… how it seems, at least.

Vivi: I mean, I’ll fight for myself if I have to. It’s just… hard to believe that it’s Noah?" Yeah see I don't think it's either of you that's what's tripping me up as well. Then again, we still probably have an entire extra part to this trial, so maybe it's a bit early to really be down to just two suspects :v

"Harper: …I assure you, Noah couldn’t possibly–

Aidan: Do you know where he was all day?

Harper: Not… technically, but I believe that he truly was in his room all day. I know Noah, including outside of this… Resort. I’m certain we can trust him." Well, ve's trying at least, that's sweet of ver :)

"Kennedy: This is all about finding out who’s actually innocent. If you believe he is and put up arguments, it doesn’t matter if it’s you instead of him. So, get to it.

Harper: Alright.

Vivi: …" [Third Party Analysis] Oh shit, TPA with someone who is not a suspect! Cool :D Also I really like this one so I'm thriving. I just need to remember how I formatted this. Eh, I'll just go with it like this.

-Vivi-

Concession: "It’s kinda annoying that you guys are really suspecting me again, but I guess I understand why. I am always at the center of everything with my autopsies."

Defense: "If the door’s open to other people coming in, I couldn’t be sure that I’d be in the clear if I did decide to kill someone."

Attack: "Noah’s the one who’s been alone doing who-knows-what for who-knows-how-long!"

Proposal: "Maybe he was using that time to plan a murder instead of grieving like we thought…?"

-Harper-

Concession: "In all fairness, that would be true were she innocent as well."

Defense: "Noah is my friend, and has been for several years. If you’re looking for a character judgment, I attest that I don’t believe Noah would be capable of killing someone, especially under these circumstances. Isn’t it clear that he’s been keeping to himself out of grief? He’s already lost so much… What reason would he have to kill now?" (This one can probably be shorter lmao).

Attack: "Their medical knowledge also puts them in an ideal position to lie about details of the crime. [...] Still, their overall combativeness contrasts with Noah’s solitude; they have something they’re willing to fight for, even if it’s against us." (I don't know if I'm allowed to actually skip lines with "[...]", but since I feel like both of those technically count, I'm putting them both in :v).

Proposal: "On the other hand, Vivi has been… in conflict with others recently and defending herself rather firmly. Maybe it was all to ensure we wouldn’t distrust her inherently going into her upcoming Trial."

That looks good enough. I don't have any bright ideas for the Inquire section, though. My only guess would be shooting Vivi's Autopsy + Monoquin File #2 at Harper's Attack? The idea being that Vivi is in a good position to lie about details of the crime, but she didn't. They gave a time and cause of death which matched the MQ File, meaning if the cast had believed them, the lie would be found out immediately, which would be bad for the blackened because the entire point of the lie was to pull off the whole "inside-outside" trick. I'm not sure it's right, but I don't know what else to shoot, so.

[Checking Distill Answers] So I got most of it pretty right, even if I still have a tendency to use more text than strictly necessary. Issue is that Harper's Attack doesn't include the "lying about details of the crime", meaning my Inquire's gonna be wrong, but oh well.

[Answer: The Motive → Harper’s Attack] Yeah I guess this makes sense. Forgot you could agree with these. I mean, I typically don't like arguing on motive until there's literally no other options, so I'm not sure this would have crossed my mind anyways, but here we are now!

"Ellis: Unless he’s like, actually gone mad with grief– poor word choice, sorry..." This is Mad Doctor discrimination and I will not stand for it >:( (/silly)

"Vivi: No! I mean, yes! I mean, it’s not me, so it seems like it has to be him… No. I think you guys are still wrong about the killer being inside. Like, this all just feels wrong…

Kennedy: It’s true; it’s possible this was all a mind game from the killer to begin with, and they only wanted us to think that the killer was inside! Like I said earlier, with the current motive, mind games–" Mad Duo stand strong, you love to see it :D

"Harper: It’s true. They are guiding our debate…

Vivi: Wait, what? If I did, it wasn’t on purpose!

Aidan: Insistence doesn’t mean anything on its own. If you want to defend yourself, use actual arguments.

Vivi: Okay, fine! I will!" [Nonstop Debate] Don't worry Vivi I believe you, let's go!

"Vivi: Okay, how about this: I’m a doctor, right?

Vivi: That means I’d know more than anyone else how to kill someone.

Jeff: …That’s your brilliant defense?" Yeah, we're not off to a great start here xD

"Vivi: If I was gonna plan a murder when I’ve been in the Infirmary all day every day, I would try to pick something that had to be tied to a more specific location." Not... a great defense. We'll see how we work with it.

"Noah: Are we all gonna just… ignore how much thought it seems like she’s put into this…?" Yes we are Noah, let Vivi come up with hypothetical murder plans in peace >:( (xD)

Okay jokes aside I got nothing. Like I genuinely have no idea what I'm supposed to do here. Uh... No yeah, abstain, idk. I really did not bring my A game to this trial huh :p

[Answer: Order List → “no weapon like that”] You know I did think about this, but it didn't really make sense in my mind. Like yeah the rope is a portable weapon, technically, but you'd be arguing that Robert died strangled, meaning the MQ file lie is the cause of death and thus the death location is true. But that comes with its own problems, of course, such as why Robert would be in the Villas in the first place, and why Vivi wouldn't just give the true cause of death in their autopsy to make the Villas the true death location before all these arguments about going back and forth began. I guess they did say asphyxiation and drowning are hard to tell apart, though. Hm... let's see where this goes.

"Ellis: …Okay, look, if nobody else is gonna say it, I will. Gun!" ???? Wait what the fuck are we talking about Ellis. The gun's not involved. You know the gun's not involved. Where are we going.

"Paris: Oh, did people not hear? My b, I��ll make sure to be more upfront with information next time~" Paris.

"Vivi: It could be! It means that… What if the killer was able to coerce Robert to go somewhere, or do something? If a gun was in the equation, it could’ve totally shaken up what happened! Or, there could’ve been an accomplice, if they were coerced into helping…" This is what I meant. We know this shit didn't happen. The one with the gun was Ness and she's cleared by BDA!

"Vanessa looks at me, attempting to steady the panic in her eyes. What, does she think this is my choice? It’s hers." It' your choice to bring it up when you now it's not connected, though. I don't get what Ellis is trying to do, his moves are too big brain for me.

"Taylor: But, doesn’t the fact that no one’s claiming they got it imply that it is connected to the murder? Otherwise, why wouldn’t they say something?" We've completely derailed the trial here. Maybe there's some kind of point being made that I'm just not seeing? What is Ellis trying to do?

"Aidan: Hey, eyes over here.

We all turn to Aidan– who’s holding the gun." WHY DO YOU HAVE THAT?!?! I mean it's probably gonna end up helping but geez.

"Aidan: It doesn’t have any relevance to the case, though, so we can move on already." Thank you Aidan. Did he hear the conversation between Ness and Ellis? Or does he just not think it's related to the case through regular reasoning? Probably the latter ig.

"Aidan: I’m still cleared from the BDA, and neither of those things have literally anything to do with the case. 

Jeff: What, so we’re just supposed to take you at your word and move on?

Aidan: I’m not gonna tell you what to do. It’s your move.

All: …

Aidan: Cool. Let’s get back on track, then." [Intermission] ...So, what was the point of bringing up the gun again? Just so everyone knows it's on the table? I guess it’s not a horrible idea, but I'm still confused xD This trial is breaking me lmao.

-

Yay!!! Really enjoyable trial so far! You know, part of me wonders if at times I may come off as slightly frustrated at the characters’ lines of reasoning, but I assure you that’s not the case. It’d be kinda boring if the trial just went the exact path of reasoning I would want it to go anyways, so I like seeing so many perspectives on the mysteries of the murder xp As always, fun minigames, fun mysteries, and good character moments for good measure! Peak as always, can’t wait to get my heart broken next chapter, when the killer might get revealed! (Or not, what do I know). See you all then!
