#also more foreshadowing because i love implying shit

Fun fact, Kieran may have been originally supposed to live longer, at least judging by his many unused voice lines (found on YouTube) and a longer hairstyle which I actually think looks better for him (found on rdr wiki of cut content). Maybe he was supposed to go to Guarma? The voice lines to me suggested going on hunting missions with him but Iâm not too sure.
spoilers. obviously
fun fact i have listened to the 2+ hours of Kieran's cut voice lines so many times even my housemates know it and groan when they walk in and i'm listening to it. Did you know one of his cut voice lines for a near miss in a shootout is 'whoo, nearly took my head off!' to foreshadow his eventual demise? And he has several variations of lines telling Arthur to rest with the gentlest tone suggesting he would have been one of the few characters to show concern for Arthur's illness in later chapters? And slightly less relevant but there is a cut interaction in where he asks Jack to sneak him some food only for Arthur to threaten to kill him BUT CALLING HIMSELF UNCLE KIERAN???

About Guarma, all but confirmed. Here is one of his cut outfits, which I think very obviously suits the vibe of what most of the gang wore in Guarma like compare it to Micah's Guarma outfit in particular. Additionally he has this hood as an outfit accessory: some people think it was intended that when he rides into camp Horsemen Apocalypse there's a moment of the hood being taken off and then the characters having a much more visceral reaction to his eyes being gauged out but personally I think it makes way more sense that he was meant to be in Banking, the Old American Art 'replacing' Sean as an extra gun. Which would have been really cool because I would have loved a conversation where they bring up they're a gun short and it spiral into more reflection on how they're not just a gun short, they're a man down, they lost the 'joy in their lives' Sean Macguire and they were still hurting instead of just NEVER MENTIONING HIM AGAIN other than a few rare character lines.
Side tangent also his scarf is different in his guarma outfit which is it's own essay because if you're going off the blue high honor red low honor theory this so strong implies we could have seen some really cool character development. looking at what the gang were wearing in banking and then in guarma there's no obvious explanation as to where he got it. how cute would it have been if we got a scene where mary-beth gifted him a scarf?? but the also terrifying implication that we might see kieran become less high honour good boy blorbo to someone a bit more morally ambiguous?
I think the question really is how he would have fit in in Guarma, which of course we will never know and considering how much cut content there is about Guarma. Like everyone else in Guarma makes sense: Dutch's descent into immorality being so clear even Arthur questions it, Bill being the one trusted to look after Javier following his rescue, supporting their friendship in rdr1, Micah reaffirming his position as an actual piece of shit in his lines responding to Hosea and Lenny's deaths and complete lack of empathy. Maybe a kieran who is slightly more ruthless and active in shootouts in guarma but also shows compassion for arthur as arthur gets sick? Maybe the attack on Hanging Dog Ranch was meant to be more a revenge for Kieran's death assuming he was taken and killed similarly to his death in chapter 4 (given how much much foreshadowing there is for his death), but just another misery in chapter 6 that hits harder because we have more time to grow attached and see him develop?
Except. Except then we get to cut outfit kieran.
first. hellooooo sailor. but who is this man. who is this man who looks older. and wears a very, very low honour red scarf. and is obviously dressed still as an outlaw, and didn't go live a happy life with mary-beth. is it. is it possible. kieran was not always meant to be doomed by the narrative??
is it possible we would have seen kieran become more loyal to dutch and micah, true to his army abandoning, gang jumping, choosing to ride with the o'driscolls rather than die, immediately 'loyal' to the vdls despite torture because being alone meant certain death, coward nature? or would he have just been a character john could encounter in the epilogue? perhaps shaken by knowing arthur, as one of his very, very few friends, died trying to be a better person and abandoned any effort to be more than an outlaw?
but. but kieran. shirt all buttoned up. scarf on. thick coat. hair slightly feral and wild. why does it looked like you're all dressed up for the cold, buddy? like- like you might have been hiding out up mount hagen.

Analyizing Viktor and Jayce from Arcane, S1 E5 Part Two - Am I ruining this ship for me or what
So Viktor being a genuis because he had "a vision" and just explains how runes and mages work and is that..foreshadowing again? Like how did he got these informations? It would have been nice to have a bit more context, because with that scene from the previous post I might get my tinfoil hat back. Anyway, Viktor is mansplaining Jayce and here is the first thing I noticed, the fond and admiring expression on Jayce's face:
Again, that can be completly platonic still. Am I ruining this ship for me now or what?
Viktors absolutly unfazed reaction makes me laugh so much, god I love this man.
But I think there was a first impulse of reaching out to Viktor, just a short tilt of his hand - to make sure Viktor is alright. And his Question "Are You Sure This is safe" was met by a rather cold "of course not" by Viktor and Jayce is reacting like that and I had to make a GIF out of this scene or else I can't explain what I mean.
So Jayce is staring at Viktor, and he feels guilt and I think he wants to say something but he is also unsure of what exactly to say, because he knows Viktor is right and also has the right to be cold towards Jayce, since he is leaving him alone. I think it dawns on him, unconsiously, that what he is doing is wrong and it's nagging at him. So far no interpretation from my side that Jayce is into Viktor the same way Viktor might be into him, though. I am on the way to ruin my delusion.
Mel is such a strong politican, I love her for her cunning way to get Jayce on her side and manipulating him. Again, Mel is one of my fav Chars in Arcane but I do think they don't have either an equal relationship, nor a deep one at that. It feels rather cold to me.
"You pushed this on me". I think it's nice to see he is struggling and not wanting this, but Mel is REALLY good. Girl you slay queen!
Here he looses his inner battle against playing the politican, the struggle was made so clear and was well portrayed, you could feel it!
Foreshadowing at it's best: "There's been quite the investements" - and Mel said "Indeed, better than expected" - Do you remember Jayce accusing Mel of treating him and Viktor as investements? ohhh what a nice foreshadowing! And here it is made clear that Mel is using Jayce for her own goals. Love myself a good, calculated politican!
Well he does look at Mel adoringly. This scene is also important. Because she makes a move on him, and he says "I couldn't have done it without you"
Wait, that actually makes me mad. He couldn't have done SHIT without Viktor. You asshole, Jayce!
And now comes the most heartwrenching scene I have ever seen in my live. Given the feeling of me that Viktor has feelings for Jayce (we can argue which, can't we?) making the deliberate choice to show us Jayce and Mel doing bed gymnastics (sorry I am german, it's a way of saying here lol) and parrallel Viktor collapsing? This is INTENTIONAL. They wanted us to show what Jayce chose and did not choose. What would have been important and what shouldn't have been important. It is quite the foreshadowing, too, because Jayce will regret his actions - which is a topic on it's own.
The fact, that they put Sky in this scene makes it even more obvious or sus, as you may say, because if you wanted to show us that Jayce did choose poorly it would have been enough to show Viktor alone in his study the whole time, and not with Sky approaching and making moves onto Viktor.
Foreshadowing again with Sky saying "There is always tomorrow, right". rip haha.
Viktor is comepletly uninterested in her, romantically speaking. I think it's not because he doesn't get her advances. I think saying her name "goodnight luisanne(?)" makes it clear they do have some kind of relationship. Her implying "again" makes me think she asked many times and this wording from Viktor is his attempt of being polite and respectful, but drawing boundaries for himself.
Him getting angry, throwing the papers around is a stark contrast to his usual composed nature, I think it's a nice way to show how deperate he is because he KNOWS he doesn't have much time anymore. He gets fainty again and hears voices and sounds, which is again really interesting because there is no shimmer corruption in this situation. So what is that sound? Who is it? IS IT HIMSELF?
Again he coughes blood and I think there are two different kinds of runes in this: the one without the corruption of the void/shimmer and the one with, which is making him go bonkers I guess. Because I have the feeling the old Viktor is actually a mage and using only the runes, not the void. Which doesn't make it any less dangerous but you get what I am saying. I hope.
Him going down and fast cut to Mel and Jayce, who are making out WITH A GALAXY BACKGROUND?????? Wait what AM I SEEING. This is deliberate, intentional again, I don't think the smashing is that good she sees stars lolkek.
Maybe I am interpreting way too much into it, but is that a parrallell to the scene in which Viktor and Jayce are connected in the astral plane (or whatever)? I am weezing.
Also what I do find interesting and I don't have an idea why they choose to frame it like this: The Hexcore absorbed Viktors blood and we can see it travel through it, kinda melting together with the hexcore-DNA while you see a sillouette of Mel (why not Jayce, am I asking?). I am not sure what to make out of that. It could be a metaphor for connection. Like Viktor connected to the hexcore and Mel with Jayce, but it was weird to not see more of Jayce, you know? like why were we so focused on Mel here? Is that a foreshadowing that Mel is a mage, but that won't make any sense to me. And I am asking, because I am here for discussion: Why using this cutting, this parallel scenes? Why do you show us this, anyway? You could have implied them having smash-time, but you intentionally put those two things next to each other. Did you wanted to make us angry because Jayce was hooking up but he should have been with Viktor the whole time! That's absolutly implying you think we think bros before hoes! But that's just a saying, I do think everyone goes for the hoe at some point (respectfully, of course). I am getting a headache, this scene made me mad honestly. I was so hurting for Viktor, he was so alone. And when Mel wakes up, she looks a bit pissed that Jayce is gone, honestly lmao. But not in a way like she is disappointing because she wanted to cuddle, but because I guess she thought she had Jayce by his balls or something (well she did).
The cut to Viktor laying on the hospital bed and Jayce shaking and whipping his leg IS A MASTERPIECE. And honestly, the feeling creeps in...like why do that cut? Why stay on Mel and transition to Viktor in the same camera angle. Do you want to tell us something? You could have done a camera angle from the side, showing us Jayce being panicky if you wanted to show us that, but we get this parallel. This is sus, not gonna lie.
So, @stardust-musings provided me a link with a deleted scene where Jayce was wiping away his crying, if you want to see that, here: https://www.tumblr.com/stardust-musings/767415218102059008?source=share
We discussed that Jayce definetly has a lot of affection for Viktor, which one can be argued with but I do think his reaction in general is really important here, though the crying wouldn't only have IMPLIED Viktor is really important to him but made it clear, because he had an open and really vulnerable reaction here. So with that in mind, his actions coming might him be struggling to find out what Viktor really is to him, because as stated above, this gives off mixed signals. I get you can cry about you "brother/hombie" being in a hospital and dying, given the deep relationship as friends. I think this shot is important to make it clear that the love is there, but what love can be interpreted still and Jayce is figuring it out himself.
And there it is, we have regret showing! Honestly, I do get why you chase to your best friend if he is in a hospital and you get the message. But guilt? Regret? Doubt? Panic? Devastation? Realtalk here because I think this is important: As someone who has had a lot of people in the hospital on the deathbed and so on, I don't think anyone will rush to their bro and leaving their spouse behind (and she didn't even know what was up), without like waking them up and telling them what's up, ya know. You may be panicing, but you are connected to your partner and I think you will share this information and trying to get comfort FIRST (not after you visited). So I would explain to my partner what's up and my partner would come visit with me, too, because I care for my friend but I also care for my spouse, ya know. Him leaving Mel who he slept with the night before because his friend was brought into hospital is really rushed and I think he has a deep connection with Viktor and cares about him a lot, so much so, that he doesn't care who he slept with, because he is more important. But I do think Jayce still is not in love with Viktor. Yet? But it makes no sense to leave Mel there, I mean she knows Viktor too and if you have a connection, you would at least wake her up. Even if it's in the middle of the night. So this is confusing, I have to think about it more. Your thoughts are appreciated. Also sorry for any misspellings, I am tired.
It makes sense he left Mel, because she would have seen him breaking down over his friend and maybe he didn't want to be vulnerable in fron of Mel and Viktor, because he tried to kept his panic together. But again, I find it interesting how they telled us this with these scenes. They wanted to imply, I am sure of it, the first time that Jayce always chooses Viktor. Which is, honestly, a love letter on it's own tbh.
That was Part Two, I will continue tomorrow! I am obsessed with this now lol

more obvious shit I wanted to point out but it's more than last time uhhh pt.2 (spoilers for dad beat dad and maybe welcome to heaven. Maybe?)

I love that Charlie just randomly goes into demon form sometimes like here ehhehehe. Also can I just say I love Charlie so much?? She is my favorite and I love her especially in this episode because it feels like the same optimistic Charlie but she was just put in a bad situation. I relate to her a bit TOO much, almost down to every detail like wow. You'll understand later once I get there. But just wow...

LOOK AT THIS FUNNY LITTLE MAN. SPOODER DUST <3 also. Live [image] reaction. Someone make that into a reaction image đđ

HONEY!!! NEW MEME TEMPLATE JUST DROPPED. (Aka the one guy going crazy trying to explain the stuff on the board iykyk)

OMG... THAT CANT BE CHARLIE... NOT CHARLIE'S EMO PHASE PLEASE BAHAHAHHAHAHA (also love that Lucifer has kept it all these years, if Charlie knew I think she'd be extremely embarrassed. Vaggie would love it probably xd)

HE IS SO GOOFY I CANT- I LOVE HIM SO MUCH ALREADY!!! NEED.

Broskie got character development and is NICE?!? I LOVE THAT SMMM YALL.... LOOK AT HIM!! I am very delusional yes, but I will take this over ass development(cough. Vaggie's "story" in ep 3. Cough).

Imagine this. *holds your hand carefully to help you calm down while talking to your father you haven't really wanted to talk to.* lesbian type stuff ngl 𤯠(relatable)

Angel looking at the gays while being a gay too. HE'S BEING SO KIND TO CHARLIE UGGHH I CANTTT!!(POS) NODDING HIS HEAD, SMILING TO HER, ALSO TRYING TO HELP CALM HER DOWN. I MAY BE ASS AT SOCIAL CUES BUT I NOTICED THIS ONE!! YAA
*SHE IS STILL HOLDING HER HAND. CHARLIE'S ALSO SWINGING IT AROUND NERVOUSLY. I can never get tired of them and will make art soon just you wait.*

COMMANDER VAGGIE! I love that she acts like this is a camp full of tiny kids and honestly? That's not too far off. Sir pentious is at the ready! (glad he's here more often in the episode, thought he would just get sidelined after his first episode but gladly no!) Angel is just surprised. Husk spilled his drink, ON WHITE FUR NO LESS! Niffty of course is on the floor face first. Charlie is just happy to be there yippee!

What is this?? I have no idea what the hell it is at all. Bro is just peepin- it doesn't look like Alastor, even in demon form. And... I can't think of anyone else who could be this. Anyone have ideas or maybe it's foreshadowing? Maybe it was revealed in the 6th episode I don't know I haven't watched it yet. (I am a freak. I don't binge I give myself a day to watch a single episode. Most of the time uhhh.)

WE LOVE A SHORT KING. I LOVE THAT. I LOVE HIM. THE EVERYTHING. HE IS EVERYTHING. LET ME STRANGLE HIM PLEASE. (Lillith and Lucifer's dynamic is 100% Gomez and Morticia but a little more silly short man)

"OH WOW! AN OLDER MAN WHO GIVES ME FATHERLY CARE!" *STARTS TO FUCKING CRY*
I FEEL YOU CHARLIE WAAAGHHH

Oh and there goes the silly guy again! Atp I'm thinking it may be the gal some people been talking about that they've been hinting since the pilot. I forgot her name but she's said to be the big bad of season 1 or probably 2. Not sure if that's what it's trying to imply but here's my little no-thought idea

Lucifer, no...

LUCIFER NO!! THIS IS SUCH AN ADORABLE RESPONSE TO CHARLIE DATING A WOMAN. (ADOPT ME)

AND THEN THE HUG! I GET IM LOOKING TOO MUCH INTO THIS ONE SILLY SCENE BUT I JUST LOVE IT SO MUCH AND WANT THIS SO BAD IN MY LIFE.

Niffty really said, "Yes, I do the cleaning."
Get yourself a taller king who is a short king but compared to you is a tall king

Say what you will, but I genuinely want more dad Alastor, someone make an au before I do plsss and @ me đđ

alright.. now this is where it starts to be relatable and hurt my heart... yayy.... needing any sort of parent figure that actually cares about you than the actual parent who is rarely there? WOWZA! SAME CHARLIE <3 <3 (SO FAR VERY ACCURATE FROM SOMEONE THAT IS IN THE SAME SITUATION)

Alastor is letting her off kindly, atleast in his way. He may be pissed off she brought a shark gang to the hotel and put it on fire, but they were still close friends. With anyone else he would absolutely either murder them or have severely traumatized the person. She's the exception, although I don't think he'd let it off the hook so easily if there were a next time.

A father-daughter embrace! :,)

(This is gonna be messy asf) He wants to know who she is as a person. He always has, and that's definitely obvious, but from a person inside this, they may not know themselves what the other is thinking. To Charlie it was like he never cared and just wanted an excuse to not see her again, acting like he was truly busy as in the start where he made the rubber duck that breathed fire. Sure. But Charlie saw it as him finding ways to not interact with her again. The only times they talk was when it was related to business stuff or other things of the sort. Let me just say this song... is by far my favorite, including the episode. Sure, it's got problems it's own, but this extremely accurate portrayal of what my own situation with one of my parents just stole my entire soul. Yeah I got a bit of tears about to come out, BUT NOPE! NOT TODAY! I don't ever cry during shows or movies so if I ever get teary-eyed, YOU DID SOMETHING. THAT SOMETHING BEING GOOD. This episode was emotional and connected with me on a deep level that I dont think any film has ever done to me, which is weird because I've been actively trying to find one, any one that does. Then to find it in an indie company from a creator who has achieved the dreams that I myself want to one day? That's fucking amazing.

FORESHADOWING! FROESHADOWING! FORESHADOWING! VAGGIE EX-ANGEL THEORY MUST BE CANON AND IF ITS NOT I WILL TEAR MYSELF LIMB FROM LIMB WITH A CROWBAR. LETS GO TO HEAVENNN!!! TOMORROW! BECAUSE THE DAY I PUBLISH THIS WILL BE TOMORROW(FOR YOU TODAY) BUT TOMORROW FOR YOU ILL POST THE NEXT WHAT I CAUGHT SHENANIGANS AGAIN! SEE YA!

Okay. I know you said I'm not allowed to make theories anymore, but this TECHNICALLY isn't a theory, so...
My analysis of the song "Heart for Brains" and what it tells us about MC đ:
First of all, I want to talk about the way the song is sang - there is a steady acoustic rhythm in the background, but the singer of the song is unsteady, and the backing instruments are ALL over the place, it's wobbly and I think that represents MC's mental instability
One of your commenters on Ao3 mentioned that her behaviour is similar to someone who has Manic Depression, in that she has periods of intense high moods followed by EXTREMELY depressive low moods; additionally, she 'self-medicates' with alcohol (not explicitly stated, but the amount of times she's turned to Gelato and gone "wanna get a drink :3" IS TOO MANY not for it to be some sort of coping mechanism) BUT ANYWAYS she doesn't really have any control over her own emotions - and this is probably worsened by the fact that H4B will subconsciously try to 'fix' her mood; e.g. when she saw Prosciutto's gun for the first time and started 'weeping', which eventually triggered H4B Act 2 (which is what im calling the second ver of H4B now đ)
BUT ANYWAYS i'm yapping, the unsteady sound of the song DEFINITELY recflects MCs uncontrollable personality
NEXT. the lyrics of the song make it sound like it's being sang *to* someone; why is this? BECAUSE, H4B IS THE GHOST OF MC'S MOTHER. And that is why H4B subconsciously tries to alter MCs mood, because she's trying to 'protect' MC from her own destructive behavior - i.e., SINGING to her!
highlighted lyrics:
"Shit-for-brains" - calling her stupid, MCs mother was quite mean to her at the start - "You're living proof that it pays to be hard on those around you." MC *isn't* hard on those around her, and she lowkey gets walked ALL over: e.g., Sorbet using her stupidity as a way of manipulating her into betraying Diavolo.
"But the wolves who guard their wounds, hide their limps, and their health, are all eaten too" - Considering MC had no idea that her father was involved with Passione *until* the day he and her mother died, I think the 'wolf' in this line *is* her parents. They tried to hide it, and were killed: Now, notice how MC has NEVER spoken to ANYONE (aside from Melone and Ghiaccio a little bit) about what happened to her? And, how she was so willing to keep Sorbet and Gelato's secret, despite the upset it brought her? SHE is repeating what her parents did, and given the amount of foreshadowing in the last few chapters i fear something bad is gonna happen to her...
i'm so excited for the next chapter, ive been waiting MONTHS for you to finally reveal more abt H4B im actually SHAKINGGG UHHHHHGG KEEP WRITING ABBY I LOVE YOU
have you ever considered making a theory channel? you could be the next matpat, trust
OKAY BUT this is lowk kinda spot on i will applaud you for this, AND ALSO, while MC doesn't have BPD or Manic Depression persay, it IS implied that she is not quite there in the head: When Illuso is stalking the team, she kept seeing him in the mirror, she brushed him off as 'another' hallucination and moved on with her day. And in the most recent chapter, the reason Prosciutto was so nonchalant over what he did was because he believed her upset was just another 'one of her moods' (thats gonna be explored in the next chapter) - Melone is the only character who knows how to handle her when she has a bad day, as seen in CH7 when he helps her calm down
THE REASON she is so unstable IS in fact because H4B is messing with her head; but I haven't had the chance to outline that yet in the fic so shhhhh shh sh we wont talk about it too much rn, that's what the next chapter is for!
as for the last bit... no comment. đŤ˘

Additional 3x05 thoughts
Spoilers through 3x05 of the show and through A Memory of Light in the books.
It does crack me up how Egwene INSTANTLY breaks her word to the Wise Ones. You've had a single night of training, girl! I mean, also very book canon - promising that she isn't going to mess around by herself in the dream only to proceed to do it constantly is fully book canon. That plus the fact that she is definitely letting them believe she's full Aes Sedai like she did in the books does make me think she's going to need to 'meet her toh' to the Wise Ones before she parts from them, like she does in the books.
We really do need 3x06 to fully judge the fallout of the Randgwene breakup but right now it's the only plotline that I'm like "idk if this is a change that improves the books". It's certainly more High Drama than an amicable parting would be, but in a way that can potentially flatten both Egwene and Rand in the eyes of viewers - Egwene by turning her into a symbol of a Perfect Woman Done Wrong; and Rand into a symbol of Cheating Man Never To Be Trusted.
Avirand continues to be perfection (which is why I'm trying to be "okay okay let the show cook" over Randgwene's break-up, because all of the Rand & Aviendha scenes; and our two Rand & Elayne scenes, were so wonderful).
I do want to rewatch the Moiraine & Siuan scene, for sure (I mean, I'll rewatch the whole thing this weekend lol), because I was getting "shit maybe they ARE killing off Siuan and/or Moiraine for real" vibes from how much closure the two of them got, but it could be foreshadowing for a long separation because of Moiraine moving to Finnland. Moiraine specifically saying that she's (Moiraine) not at the Last Battle, though...
Delaying the vote in the Hall because Siuan and Elaida have (temporarily) come to terms with each other really worked. I liked everything in the White Tower plotline.
Alanna and Maksim's plotline really got to me! Their mutual but clashing grief over Ihvon, and how they finally come back to each other at the end. <3
Perrin's plotline also really worked to cement Faile as someone that he cares about -- her insisting on coming with, and being a key part of saving him (and the shot of the two of them near the end of their scene in the Whitecloak camp reminded me, framing-wise, of Rand & Elayne's first meeting. Can't explain why. Vibes).
Everything with the Sea Folk ship plotline was great. I finally got the conversation between Min & Mat that I wanted in the previous episodes, where Mat mentions the vision of him stabbing Rand! I loved Elayne & Nynaeve learning about the Sea Folk. <3
And Elayne still wistfully thinking of Aviendha even as we're hearing Aviendha talk about how she doesn't get how monogamous relationships can even function and how you need more than one partner -- all of that feels like a great set-up for future Avirandlayne.
So, yeah, the only part I'm like... idk if I feel like this change works is the Randgwene stuff. Both Josha and Maddy talked in interviews in ways that implied that we would actually be getting broken-up Randgwene growing into being post-breakup friends, but with such a High Drama ending between them and only one episode afterwards (since 3x07 is a full Perrin/Two Rivers episode), it's hard to see how we get there. Their breakup in the books doesn't have a "bad guy" so I'm kinda sad that it feels like Rand is gonna be the "bad guy" in their breakup in the show.

Parker Luck Chapter 3
Summery: Bruce is thinking too hard Tim found something interesting with Peters DNA Jason comforts and hold Peter because everyone is a bit OOC and I'm awkward!
Notes:
SO SO SO SO SORRY THAT IT TOOK ME SOOO LONGGG TO POST THIS CHAPTER!! I kept re-writing it because I didn't like certain parts and now I'm at least slightly more happy with it! If you have any suggestions for what the next chapter should entail please comment because I may have some ideas but I'm not creative and need help!
Warning: -Panic Attack -Implied Asthma attack (Foreshadowed/referenced for like a sentence) -Fluff (Yes, Jason and Peter will be eachothers comfort buddies! Dick is just a brother figure to Peter!)
Lastly- Peter has MANY scars
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bruce couldn't sleep at all that night. Firstly, Dick and Jay had found a child in an unknown Lazarus Pit they tracked. He hasnât gotten to see the child yet because of Jason, who gave him a death glare as soon as he tried to open the door so he just turned and left not wanting to have a fight with Jason. He just wanted to ask some questions, not interrogate the kid!Â
Bruce went to the kitchen, made himself a cup of coffee and headed back down to the batcave to hopefully see the DNA test results that Tim ran last night. When the elevator opens he steps out and looks towards the batcomputer where he unsurprisingly sees Tim asleep on the chair. Bruce has a small smile on his face before walking over and shaking Tim awake. It takes Tim a minute but he wakes up slowly, âGoodmorning Tim, were you able to get the DNA results back before roughly passing out in the chair?â Tim looked over at him and gave him a small glare before sighing and shaking his head, âIt was almost done before I fell asleep so it should be done now.â Tim sooted his chair forward and started pulling up the DNA results onto the batcomputer.Â
âOkay.. thatâs not human. Like at all. Thereâs radiation and something I canât fully identify without further testing fused with his DNA.â Bruce thought about the possibilities of experimentation. The splicing of the kids DNA is messy but also balanced, allowing his DNA to adapt and mutate whenever needed. âRun as many scans as possible, separate the DNA strands and try to identify them.â Tim nodded and started separating the DNA strands. âAlfred will come and get you for breakfast soon.â the only response he got from Tim was a quick nod before he went back upstairs.
â----------------------------------------------------------------------------
hungrysafehungrysafe-WAKE
Peters eyes snapped open before closing them abruptly at the light burning his eyes, âMorning, Pete.â Then there was a click, Peter opened his eyes- the lights were off now- and looked around and found Jason walking back over to him from where the lightswitch was. âHope that helps.â Jason sat down next to him, âT-thanks..â his voice barely a whisper but he still tried to sound as genuine as he could, âYou hungry? You havenât eaten since you got here.â Peter shook his head but his stomach betrayed him and growled, âtraitorâ Jason just laughed and got up, grabbed the cold bowl of soup and put it into the microwave. âYour stomach says otherwise.â
The smirk he was giving Peter reminded him way too much of DP, who was probably trying to find him, where ever he is. He should probably ask- shouldnât he? âU-um where exactly a-are we? Like the state?â Jasonâs expression went from amused to confused before responding, âWeâre in Gotham, New Jersey kid. How do you not know where you are?â It took a moment before the words sank into Peters brain.
What.
NEW JERSEY?!
OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! WHY?! New Jersey of all places he could end up! Of courseeee!Â
Stupid Parker Luck..
âWell.. L-last I checked I was in New YorkâŚâ His voice a slight octave higher with nervousness evident in his voice. âWell shit.â Jason ran a hand over his face, taking a deep breath. The microwave beeped suddenly causing both of them to jump slightly. âJust.. for right now eat then Iâll have some questions for ya. K kid?â Peter nodded as Jason took the bowl of now hot soup from the microwave and handed it over to Peter with a small towel on the bottom to prevent it from burning his hands.Â
Peter was taking it slow but started to eat faster after only a few bite, âitâs so good!â âSlow down kid, itâs not goinâ anywhere.â Jason chuckled but- god was he embarrassed now. Peter slowed down but was still eating a bit faster then normal, once he was done Jason grabbed the bowl and placed it back on the side table. âFeelinâ better kid?â He gave Jason a sheepish nod, âAlrighty, you mind if I ask a few questions? You donât need to answer them if you don't want to.â Peter liked Jason, he was patient and nice. âY-yeah.â
âYou know how you ended up in the pit you were in?â he thought for a moment but the last thing he remembered was Dr. Stranges spell exploding in his face. So basically he has no idea how he ended up in a cave or a pit from what Jason said. âNo.â The was a sigh before Jason continued, âAlright, do you know what that substance was that you were in?â Was he supposed to know? Because heâs seen nothing like whatever that green liquid was unless you wanted to compare it to Venom in liquid form which is just uncomfortable to look at when heâs ate. âNo.â--â Alright, we can start there then. That green substance is called Lazarus water, it can heal fatal wounds and can sometimes be used to bring back the dead..â ⌠What. Iâm sorry did he just say bring the dead back to life?! His shock mustâve been evident on his face because Jason put his hand on his shoulder and gave it a comforting squeeze. âYep, I had the same reaction when I first heard about it. Although.. Those brought back to life end up with physical and psychological side effects.âÂ
Oh god.. Did he die?! Again?! Is that what Jasons insinuating?! Peter felt anger bubble dangerously towards the front of his mind but he just stuffed it back in and took a deep breath. Donât panicâHeâs panickingâHow can he not?! He was basically just told he was resurrected from the dead! Again! Heâs struggling to breathe, the room feels too small, he feels too small. Everythingâs too much, the universe, Dr. Stranges spell, dying, everything. His visions blurry, black spots are appearing, Jasons saying something and rubbing circles on his back but he canât focus enough on it. Everythings just too muchâbreathing hurts and itâs difficult to take in air, every breath he takes feels like it's through a straw, itâs oddly familiar. Then he feels Jason hug him, its warm and comforting and his mind slows enough to focus.Â
He focuses on Jason's heartbeat, the steady rhythm of it, he focuses on matching his breathing with Jasons. In..1..2..3..4âout..1..2..3..4âhe repeats this process a few times before heâs able to breathe again. He feels something wet crawl down his cheek and he realizes heâs crying. He attempts to stop but it just makes it worse, so he just lets himself wheep. Comforted by the arms heâs wrapped in. He cries until there's nothing left to cry and heâs tired and so so warm.
Warmsaferestsafe..sleep..
With the agreement of his spidey-sense he closed his eyes and falls asleep.
â----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jason felt the kids breathing even out and can feel a wet spot on his chest forming. Jason barely moves but he does enough so that he can see Peters crying, so he just lets it happen. Letâs him get all his emotions out right then and there, not letting the kid go just in case. Jason adjusts himself to sit on the side of the bed so heâs not awkwardly holding onto the kid. Jason just sits and waits, not rushing or pressuring Peter. Just sitting there and letting him cry.Â
Eventually the kid stops crying and just stays there with steady breaths for a few minutes before putting his full weight on Jason, who moves a bit to see that he fell asleep. The kids lean into the hug shivering a bit, so Jason does what Bruce used to do when Jason had a nightmare or just wanted a hug and would fall asleep. He gently lifts Peter up and slides himself under him before sitting him down sideways on his lap. Peter's head on his chest as he grabs the blanket and moves it over both of them.Â
Jason pulls out his phone and opens the messaging app:
UndeadPrincess: Got a bit of information for you guys about Peter.
BoyGenius: What is it?
CassyBat: Peter?
SpoilHer: Wait whoâs Peter?
UndeadPrincess: âŚ
BoyGenius: Peters the kid Dick and Jason found in a Lazarus Pit far behind the manor.Â
SpoilHer: OH! Yeah that makes more sense. Well what do ya have Jay?
UndeadPrincess: Well its not much the kid had a panic attack and is now asleep again but I can say that he has no ties with the league. Didnât even know what a Lazarus Pit was until I told the kid.Â
BatDad: I figured. Did you get anything else? Even if it may seem unimportant.
UndeadPrincess: Besides the fact he didnât know how he got there, no. I mean he didnât seem to recognize either me or Dick in suit but he also has a New York accent, which might explain why.
BatDad: Tim, will you look for young children who had recently died within the year in New York? Iâm going to go check out the cave tonight, see if there was anything that was missed.
BoyGenius: Already on it.Â
BoyWonder: Wait, arenât Tim, Steph, Cass and Damien at school?Â
[Duke currently has a cold]
BatDad: âŚ
SpoilHer: Hey! I barely texted and besides, it's a study hall.Â
DemonAlert: That is correct. It is currently a study hall.
UndeadPrincess: Alright you brats, get back to studying then.Â
CassyBat: đ
DemonAlert: đ
SpoilHer: âď¸
BoyGenius: â No
UndeadPrincess has muted the channel
BoyWonder: NOO JAYYY!! :(
Jason clicked his phone off and set it on the side table. It was quiet, but if he focused a bit more he could hear the click-clack of Tim at the batcomputer. The waves of water from the river below, the chirping of the kid he was holding- Wait what? Jason looked down and the kid was indeed making a quiet chirping sound. Which is a bit weird but he chooses to ignore it, that is until Tim slowly opens the door.Â
Here we go.
â----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tim had finally was able to identify the unknown strips of DNA that was fused together via radiation in the kids blood.Â
It was spider DNA, many different types of spider DNA, orb weaver, black widow, crab spider, etc. Each one were messily fused and connected to each other, which begs the question. How is he alive? The amount of radiation mixed with un-matched DNA to a humans should have killed him whenever this happened, but it didnât. The radiation acted as glue for the spider DNA and allowed it to fuse and mix with the human cells.Â
Overall, the kids DNA is a scientific masterpeace, but alas-he is but a person and morally he canât go around experimenting otherwise he might as well be as bad as the rogues. Though that doesnât stop him from running some simulations on what the spider DNA could affect the kid biologically.Â
[Few hours later (1-2)]
Okay you know that saying curiosity killed the cat, or curiosity got the kid napped? Okay he admits he made the second one up! But-the amount of possibilities with what could physical change or mentally change is killing him! So are his eyes from staring at a screen for too long bad he can deny that because denial is a river in Egypt-meaning his problems are far away from him- but he admits he needs to stop staring at the computer screen before his eyes start burning from his skull more than it already is.
Tim shuts off the computer, takes a sip of his coffee and enjoys the silence for no longer than a second before heading towards the medbay. Itâs too quiet and he wants to see if theres and any physical changes he could see without having to actually search for it until he can ask. Once he gets to the door he hesitates- because he has a sense that heâs about to walk into an awkward conversation and those..are his greatest foeâs.Â
Oh screw it-
Tim opens the door slowly peeking in, because last time Peter was asleep and just incase he didnât want to wake him up. Then the most awestruck and surprising thing stood-layed- right in front of him.Â
Jason was laying upright on the bed with Peter sideways on his lap, gripping his leather jacket like its a lifeline. While both were covered with a blanket Alfred provided when they arrived with Peter. God-The kid was tiny compared to Jason who is built like a lean tank, if that's a thing.
Itâs perfect blackmail. Too perfect- Tim grabs his phone and immediately takes over 5 pictures while Jason is staring daggers at him, but not moving. Hah!-He immediately sent one to the group chat before finally making his way into the room with Jason still glaring at him. âWhat do you want?âÂ
âWell I wanted you to be the first to know that Peter is basically a human spider thatâs slightly radioactive.â With that said, Jason was just staring at him wide-eyed and mouth slightly agape. âWhat? What do you mean basically and human spider?!â He whisper yelled at Tim, but all Tim could do was smirk and continue. âYep, the kids got multiple different types of spider DNA in him and some radiation thats holding his DNA together. Itâs messy but overall beautiful.âÂ
âTim, you sound like a rogue when you say things like that; stop.â Tim rolled his eyes before turning his attention to Peter, he was nudged a bit in Jasonâs jacket. There was clear scaring on the kids face, neck, and arms. It was concerning how mainly scars the kid had, how did he get them? Was he tortured, trafficked, abused?Â
Questions, questions, and more questions.. All without answers. Jasonâs eyebrows were furrowed, a habit he got from Dick whenever he was deep in thought. âWhat are you thinking about Jason? You look like Dick when he couldnât figure out whether he wanted to get vanilla or chocolate ice cream.â Jason's attention snapped back to Tim then his expression shifted to a grimace, it took Dick two-TWO HOURS! To decide to get chocolate ice cream for Dukes birthday cake, while keeping most of the family stuck in the store. It came out pretty good with the chocolate contrasting against the yellow frosting, it tasted good too.
âJust..Did you check to see if he had family..Tim?..â â-! He completely forgot about that! He got to excited about the kids DNA he didnât check for relatives! Tim jumped out of his seat stopping short because of the scratching noise the chair made, Peter stirred but stayed asleep so Tim bolted out of the medbay and went back to the batcomputer.
Tim searched using facial recognition just to findâŚabsolutely nothing..What the â-? No documents, media trail, hospital records, or school records. Itâs like the kidâŚdidnât existâŚ
âŚ
âŚâŚ
Then where did he come from?..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have any suggestions for what the next chapter should entail please comment because I may have some ideas but I'm not creative and need help!
I hope you enjoyed this chapter and now I'll start chapter 4 and include any ideas you guys comment about that might help with the non-existant plot.

here it is!! my part of the art trade between me and @cocoapowderpictures where we draw a piece based on each others Indigo Park AU!!!
since i love murder mysteries, and in particular, the Benoit Blanc and the recent Poirot movies, i thought itd be really cool to try drawing Cast Chronicles in the style of a movie poster!! since im also using my achromatic askblog style, i decided to go wild with it since i didn't have to worry about colours as much.
cocoapowderpictures's part of the art trade was already posted and looks cool as shit check it out here!! (if you like my art and want to see more also check out my main blog @niftukkun !!)
some details im proud of under the cut!! :
- if you look in the penumbra shadows you can see bits of foreshadowing!! (haha. foreshadow.) since we still dont know much of how lloyd and salem dies i decided to keep them vague and not actually alluding to the actual death part, just to them in general. finley and mollie however do reference what we know of their deaths - rambley and salem are the only ones whos faces are completely covered and that was very intentional since they are implied to have known something the others dont :)) i love scary ominous foreshadowing - lloyds face is also somewhat turned away because as the second to last to disappear i think hed have some idea of whats happening. maybe not the full or even accurate idea but i think hes clever enough to have known hed also disappear sooner or later - my very clever use of red!! initially i didn't want to use colour at all but when the piece was close to done i tested putting red on the edges and really liked it so i decided to put in some symbolism!! a story whose name is covered in blood (as murder mysteries often are) and clueless characters in the dark, only seeing hints of the truth until its too late
heres some of the initial sketches cause i think theyre funny


#cast chronicles <=> indigo swapped art trade#indigo park#indigo park au#cast chronicles au#fan art#rambley the raccoon#mollie macaw#finley the sea serpent#lloyd the lion#lloydford l lion#salem the skunk#im so out of practice with humans man i haven't drawn an actual human face in ages#im particularly proud of lloyds hair though its been forever since ive drawn corded hair im proud i still got it

This round has left me speechless. I watched it twice, with subtitles on and one without and so now let's get straight into the analysis. My hands are still shaking.
To begin, the human experimentation isn't as touched on as we thought, however it DOES foreshadow what the fuck is gonna happen in Luka's round. That, at least, seems to be what they are building up to.
This melody they have eeriely resembles what Ivan had for his round, which makes this all the more tragic. The lyrics themselves, however, are a mix of the two boys. Both of them had love songs, but Till's portion is more rough around the edges with it like his song while Ivan is straight to the point.
While they don't focus on human experimentation, it does seem to look like there was an intermission phase where both of the boys were advertised. This shows a soft moment between the two as Till lays unconscious and Ivan huddles up to him and does a very awkward cuddle.
Now, getting to the part where we all kind of lost our shit. Ivan sees the scoreboard off screen, looks at his mic and the Till and throws it as he walks to Till and makes out with him. This isn't an exaggeration, as a kiss implies one but he does multiple.
Till at first doesn't realize what is happening, he is still very much traumatized and zoned out over what happened to Mizi. Even the aliens that are caring for him seem to be hanging it over him. Whether they know his feelings for her or are just doing it because he is another contestant, who knows.
However, once he gets a handle on things, he pushes Ivan away who comes right back. This is when Ivan "chokes" Till and this, I took note of. Ivan does a specific hold, a safe-choke hold, when choking somebody that isn't actually choking the person. He purposely does this to protect Till and to fool the audience. This is when he begins to get shot at, the entire time his eyes are on Till.
I think it's also important to mention that they are wearing black and white, complete contrasts. However, it mimics Sua and Mizi who had the same fate. Sua and Ivan even had an interaction before all of this at Anakt Garden where Ivan made fun of her wanting to sacrifice herself for Mizi, and yet he shows himself to be a hypocrite as he smiles at Till before closing his eyes one last time.
Till has advanced to the next round to go against Luka and quite frankly, I'm terrified on how it's going to end. Mizi is a peace keeper but Luka was able to push her to violence. Till also has a personal vendetta against the blond for pushing Mizi. This won't end well.
Finally, for those that didn't watch till the end (HA), Dewey and Isaac are freaking out as their walkie-talkie system seems to be going off because Hyuna got injured. Mizi is fretting over her as she tries to stop the blood flow but it does seem that they have gotten caught.
Theory wise, I'm going to think that Hyuna is going to make Mizi a. Run or b. Hide to protect her as she gets taken away, and that's going to get her into Round 7.
Okay bye, I haven't emotionally recovered from Round 6 sorry pookies

For the ramble prompts, 1. And 7
You're very lucky as i actually have access to my computer currently!!!
I'll pick 7, as i've already seen some people point out the differences between the twins but NO Staci analysis posts!
So. Staci. What the fuck is up with her. Why did she think lying about her family on a consistent basis and not helping in challenges would work? How exactly did that make her think it was the best she could do, to the point she thought she "was doing so well" (quoting her at her own elimination) after that first day?
I think Staci's goal while on the show was to win via social game - or at least, make friends on the show. Her lying could be due to either 1. wanting attention from them, so she started making shit up to make herself look more important or 2. she actually believes what she says and just wants to impress people with her family history. I don't think i can conclusively say which one canon's leaning into? Realistically, her exaggerating her family's achievements is the more likely option, but her actually believing them would be more tragic.
HOWEVER. Just looking at her one episode of content + her audition tape isn't enough. We need to look at her contestant biography.
YEAH IM GOING THERE! If you weren't aware, for the first 5 (6?) seasons of TD as well as TDRR, there were official biographies for every contestant depending on the season, all of which were available on the official (now defunct) Total Drama Website. I'd consider the information featured in all but two of these biographies canon, as they either came from the official website (ROTI + WT), the Teletoon site (TDAS + TDPI) or from Total Drama: Totally Interactive! Im unsure about the canonicity of the Action bios and the TDRR blurbs (because yeah. they're just blurbs. sad.) as they were released only on Cartoon Network's site and the Action bios have... inconsistencies with other sources, let's say.
Thankfully, Staci was lucky enough to be a gen 2 contestant, so she gets the most detailed contestant answers biography model, so i can get alooot more info out of them.
I'll get the smaller observations out first:
In her last answer, she mentions her great-great-aunt Mildred and how she "told the first lie." I could look into how this could be Staci's least favorite relative (as she does seem to value truth/honesty), but also what if that's Blaineley? Her legal name's Mildred after all! It would be really funny! We need more "Staci and her great aunt Mildred" content STAT
She seems to really like pop music
The only answer not related to lying or to her family is the First Job question, instead it's foreshadowing to her elimination
Now, for a larger one: She barely talks about herself in these answers. Sure, she answers the questions, but she spends the vast majority of her time talking about her family instead. She manages to link the fucking Favorite Color and Food question to them! Her love of her family is made very clear here. Knowing about them is literally what she picks out as her Best Quality!
...but only her distant relatives. No mention of closer grandparents, sisters, nephews/nieces, aunts/uncles, and only a single indirect mention of a mother. Only distant, mostly older family members and cousins. And she had to have met some of them! Her Craziest Dream answer describes a dream where her great-great-uncle Charlie was telling her lies, implying they've met and talked before! So where's the mention of her closer family members?
I'd say it's because if those family members are further away, or if they're dead, it's harder to fact-check what she's saying so her peers wouldn't find out it's at best an exaggeration and at worst an outright lie.
I think the answers that show this the most well are the Best Memory and Most Embarrassing School Moment, her presentation on an older family member and realizing the topic was a lie.
This feels like something that would happen earlier in life to me? Maybe primary school level, or even earlier. If she made her entire class project on it, she had to believe in it, right? Despite how absurd that notion is! This indicates to me that Staci was/is very naive, and her love for her family started in childhood. She seems very interested in her own family's history, to the point of exaggerating their accomplishments; maybe her great-great-aunt Lois created a plate design patent or her Great-great-uncle Jason simply looked into the history of the letter E, so either Staci exaggerated them to seem more interesting, or her family members would exaggerate these achievements at family reunions as jokes or something and little Staci just believed them.
Im also unsure on her family being good or not... her Dream Date answer is apparently Richard Nixon because she'd want to learn more about his life, specifically citing that he "reminds [her] of [her] third cousin once removed, Andrew." If you know anything about recent US political history, that is not a good thing. This also shows she has some interest in politics/recent history/other people's lives! This girl does have interests!!!
And this is where i bring up the Favorite Movie answer. The movie it's based on, according to the wiki, is "The Invention of Lying", a 2009 movie. skimming the Wikipedia article, it's a romantic comedy film about a guy with the ability to lie in a world where people can only tell the truth. He first abuses this power for selfish gain but in the romantic resolution decides to not lie to benefit himself and lets his love interest actually choose to be with him.
I think the reason why Staci likes this movie so much is the romantic resolution; this is what she'd want to happen if/when she'd reveal how her family's achievements are either fake or exaggerated to her friends, and they would stay. That she'd get people interested in her with those lies, before actually being honest with them when they're closer... But it never happened with anyone on the show.
TLDR, i need this girl to realise she doesn't need to lie so much about her family for others to like her, as hiding behind masks won't get you any real friends. Something that applies to the majority of the roti girls, actually.
#Mozzaskrella#you do not understand the restraint to not reference slimecicle once.#she has a relative named charlie it's perfect#also i didn't mention the beauty salon thing in detail but it shows both a care for others and a different interest!!!#guys please see the vision#string cheesing#cheese positng#total drama#td staci#Ask game

Okay so there are two tapes in game where Harvey speaks.
youtube
The first tape Harvey appears in is (#10) where Harleen and Harvey appear. She complains to him about Crane's experiments, implying Harvey's partly responsible for his presence there? and that Harvey trusts him. Apparently Crane is there to help Harvey in court and evaluate inmates. He says it's a necessary evil and he tells her to kick rocks.
The second one, tape #13, is interesting. It's found in the ship where you find out Harvey is the rat king near the console. The tape starts with Harvey asking Crane for help. But then...
HARVEY: I just... I-I lost it. You shoulda seen the police photos. This bastard didn't just beat his kid, he starved him! Kept him locked in a closet for six months. Eight years old, fighting with this- with the rats over scraps of food. When the cops finally freed him, his kidneys had failed and his heart was scarred by infection.
Foreshadowing. And guess this confirms for me that Harvey becomes retraumatized by his job and knows it but won't quit.
CRANE: My goodness. Harrowing stuff.
HARVEY: And his dad has the nerve to take the stand and tell the court his kid deserved it? Piece of shit's lucky I only took a couple of swings at him. Besides, I might've just torched my whole career.
CRANE: Oh, I doubt that. You're a hero in the papers. "Two-Fisted DA Decks Deadbeat Dad." The public's behind you on this.
HARVEY: My own dad's to blame for my short fuse. But I can't lose my temper like that again.
CRANE: Your father? I'd like to hear more about him.
So Harvey had been having issues waaay before Batman was in the picture? (Also Harvey sounds so sinister saying "Piece of shit's lucky I only took a couple of swings at him." Love Troy Baker's performance and how Elijah Wood gives this impression that he's just letting Harvey talk to examine him like another one of his tests subjects-- i mean patients.)
And it's BTAA scarecrow and Harvey again, but Bruce isn't there to help
HARVEY: You really think this stuff will help?
CRANE: Early trials are quite promising. Now, hold this, hold it- There you go. And take three deep breaths. Good.
HARVEY: *Inhales loudly*
CRANE: I want you to consider that your recent outbursts may be stress -induced. Building a case agaisnt Carmine Falcone clearly had you burning the candle at both ends.
HARVEY: Well, tell that to the press. All i hear about is how "the batman brought down the Roman Empire." We worked together, y'know. Me, him, Gordon, too. [laughs] Ah, I'm starting to lose my cool again.
Harvey's voice is way way lower. Okay, Harvey is mad about someone else taking credit. Guess that explains his reaction to seeing batman again. More ppl taking advantage of him.
CRANE: No, no-no-no, that's good. Good. We've already touched on how much you've been repressing. Themore you try to contain your shadow, the more that aspect of your psyche starnates and festers. We need to bring it to the light.
HARVEY: [almost a whisper?] Drag if out of the darkness? That's what I've been trying to do with this whole city. Too many trials. Too many appeals. Better let fate judge. Fifty-fifty, like flippin' a coin. Better odds than my old man gave me.
HARVEY: No, it's um, getting worse. The headaches mostly.
CRANE: That's only a function of your conscious mind giving way to your shadow self. As it rises to the surface, your awareness becomes fuzzy in a neurological sense as you grapple with the--
HARVEY: [as a whisper? / hiss?] That's not it. It's never been this bad. Gilda is scared. And I am too.
OKAY so, Gilda must have left at some point because Crane is making him worse. He already believes in the coin. This Crane is so interesting thinking talk therapy is universally effective with dissociation and trauma. He seems to genuinely believe in what he's doing.
CRANE: you fear becoming your father. You fear you'll assume his worst traits as you get older.Please: sit. Have a sip of water. Good, good, good. Listen thins always feel more intense just before the real healing begins. You are making remarkable progress.
HARVEY: We.
CRANE: Hm?
HARVEY: 'We' are making remarkable progress
CRANE: Of course, Mr. Dent. This is good for both of us.
So, safe to say, Crane caused this lmao.
Also, In the tape between Arnold and Harley (#3), Arnold has the same symptoms as Harvey but he doesn't seem to have the puppet yet until she encourages her to do so? so unless i'm missing something, it kinda seems like Crane's treatment is the one causing DID like symptoms.
Okay, I heard the tape between Joe and Thompkins (tape #8) and it seems everyone gets headaches so it's not DID per se. (also Leslie used to have a free clinic in park row and a crisis center for kids. idk if at the same time or the same place, tho)
LESLIE: Any other complaints?
JOE: Just some reactions to Dr. Crane's treatment. Headaches. Can't remember some stuff.
Okay, next part.
HARVEY: Doctor, I wanna stop the treatments.
CRANE: But why?
HARVEY: Why? What the hell happened to your lab rat this morning?
CRANE: it's the unfortunate reality of medical testing that on occasion we have to put an animal through a measure of discomfort in order to-
HARVEY: The shit you got me breathing melted its fur off! Melted its skin.
CRANE: Mr Dent, the individual chemicals in this solution are heavily corrosive but, when properly diluted they are intert and stable.
HARVEY: Inert and stable? I-I-I don't know-
CRANE: Harvey, Harvey. I've been reviewing our recorded sessions and i'm confident you're on the cusp of a major breakthrough. Trust the process. If not for yourself, then do it for Gilda. Doesn't she deserve a healthier, happier husband?
HARVEY: [basically a growl] Crane, if my symptoms don't resolve soon, I'm out.
CRANE: I understood. You're making the right choice. I'll prepare the dose.
This is insane. There's... so much here. Crane manipulates Harvey into using the treatment bc Harvey loves Gilda so much. Harvey was aware of what that thing could do (adding humiliation to having his own face burnt off by some malone?) This must have implanted the idea in his head about being a lab rat and staying one forever bc of his self doubt and letting it get this far.
I wonder if Crane's treatment actually fucked him up the way something like, idk, joker gas would, rather than that darkness coming solely from Harvey? but then again, Harvey beat up a man in court in front of everyone so it wasn't that big of a step.
TLDR; Everything is kinda Crane's fault.

"I also find rich that these demons are the "good" ones. The humanoid ones. The one who look just like the "sapiens", contrasting the evil demons who look like plants and shit. Again. Do you understand what you are implying? Maybe don't use fucking demons as a political metaphor for real people?"
Could you please elaborate on this? I don't get it?
I got a similar anon lol, so I'm going to merge them:
Gotta love how the refugee demons look almost entirely human (aside from weird foreheads/horns or pointy ears). Guess the creators felt that the audience wouldn't sympathize with them if they were too nonhuman looking. Lmfao. Also love how the demonic abilities are now apparently manipulation of quantum physics (despite being magical in the games). What is it with quantum physics wank? lol
This is it. The show accidentally draws a distinction between the "good" Makai, who look very human save for some horns, scales and fur (they can pass as human just by wearing hoodies), and the "evil" Makai, who are much more monstrous like Echidna or Plasma and use their monstrous traits to harm humans (Echidna's poison, Plasma's shapeshifting). Remember that they're supposed to be a metaphor for minorities like Arabs or immigrants. It's never a good look when all the sympathy is reserved for the "good-looking" people... or, to be more specific, the ones who can pass for the majority.
On, and SPOILER!
The White Rabbit, the main villain who gets a sympathetic backstory and apparently sympathetic motivations? He's human. This is foreshadowed early on as the anti-demon bullets don't work on him, but there you go. The tragic villain is actually a white savior who went to help out the helpless minority. Again, not a good look.
As for the quantum shit, I don't even know lol. It makes no sense and it's only meant to sound cool. I had bad flashbacks of the "vampires hate crosses because they're advanced predators" idiocy lmao

NMTDaily: Makeup Tutorial feat. A Special Guest!
- Real interesting time to be watching this episode right now. Someone gave me the feedback that itâs kind of cool that Iâm so behind on my liveblog because it means you all get to read them and look back on older episodes through the lens of the ones NMTDaily is currently on. Iâm really understanding that with this episode.
- Hero is a little angel. Using âsneaky filming techniquesâ⌠like hiding a totally different video in the bloopers for this video, mayhaps?
- Claudio is here! Heâs the special guest.
- âDear Claudioâ and âmy boyfriend does my makeupâ - the Hero/Claudio relationship has gone to the next level of official.
- Tea is a love language in this series. Claudio coming in with tea for Hero because heâs trying to impress her is a direct parallel to a later scene where Ben has already made Beatrice tea and theyâre sitting in his room with their cups as he tries to comfort her.
- Hero and Claudioâs mugs are plain block colors, showing that they donât really know each other at all, in comparison to the fact that the mug Ben will choose for Bea is Game of Thrones themed and is her favorite GoT family crest. Because he does know her. (I donât know GoT well enough to be sure which one, or if theyâre even called family crests. Sigils? Anyway.)
- (Also, I canât remember, is âeveryone deserves teaâ a Hero line, or is it a Jane Bennett from the LBD line? It could go either way. Kind of the same character archetype, different font with those two.)
- Hero and Claudio are very blushy and nervous around each other. There is no easy rapport- this is still big emotional surface-level crush territory.
- âJust gonna admire the artwork in progressâ The first of many subtle lines that show how Claudio sees Hero as a prize, a pretty thing to look at and possess.
- Weâre also doing some light reinforcement of heterosexual gender roles: the man is utterly clueless about makeup while the woman knows exactly how to apply fifty different products. Claudio is okay with looking like an idiot in this video because heâs a guy, he isnât supposed to know anything about makeup. If anyone else made Claudio look foolish regarding any other topic, we would see the sullen, angry side of him come out.
- Fun fact: ya girl is exactly as clueless as Claudio, I wouldnât have known that wasnât foundation without the footnote Hero puts onscreen. Or without reading the packaging. Gender roles are fake! I know I could do nicer makeup than Claudio, though, lol.
- Yeah, letting someone who has never done mascara before near your eye with a mascara wand is some scary shit. This shows just how much Hero trusts Claudio.
- âya wanna know how I got these scars?â I mean, Claudio actively invoking The Joker is extremely on the nose, but it does count as foreshadowing his villainy, so I will mention it. The smiles he causes Hero to smile now will turn painful soon enough.
- Also! Remember that at the costume party, Benedick is Batman. Ben is Batman, and Claudio is Joker.
- Hero kisses Claudio on the cheek, leaving a lipstick stain, and he deadass says âjokes on you, now I look like a ladiesâ manâ. Because itâs perfectly okay for him to BE a ladiesâ man, to show interest in other girls. Men get to do that. It is not okay for Hero to even be implied by a third party to be showing interest in other guys, because women must be perfectly faithful or branded sluts.
- The eyeliner! He writes his name on her cheek. The most direct, on-the-nose statement of Claudioâs view of Hero. âNow people know who you belong to.â Who you belong to. Spine-chilling.
- Hero is right to punch him for that. Interesting that he apologizes for saying it.
- Just the genuine fear on her face about seeing her makeup look, though. And the âClaudio, what have you done to me?â Said in laughter, in a moment of happiness, but also a totally valid line for her to say again later in a much more devastated way. (She doesnât say it again later, but she could.)
- It IS very sweet that he wonât let her say she looks like a monster, that he keeps telling her how pretty she is and kisses her forehead.
- âThe fact that youâd still kiss me now says a lot for our relationshipâ No, Hero, your boyfriend still liking you when youâre looking goofy is the bare minimum! He should!
- âYour turnâ and all she does is put guyliner on him. The minimum level of makeup to not be embarrassing, to still allow him to think he looks sexy. Claudioâs masculinity must be maintained. He does have lipstick on in the following close-up shots, but that could be from kissing her, so plausible deniability.
- âMaybe you could do my makeup for my 16th?â *dun dun DUNNN*
- Hero is back, looking lovely again. Sheâs going to post outtakes.
- Beatrice is predictably disgusted both by this video and the prospect of outtakes, giving Hero a reason to post the outtakes on Ursulaâs channel. Handy.
- âIâm sure one day even you yourself will watch that videoâ Says Hero, thinking to herself that one day Bea will see how her friends played matchmaker for her and Benedick, and sheâll be happy about it. Very optimistic, Hero. (She also does just mean âsomeday youâll be in love like this and you wonât think itâs gross.â)
- Beatrice and Hero edited this video together, because Hero knew Bea would hate it, and she needed Bea to swear never to watch the makeup bloopers video. The plan moves along swimminglyâŚ
- In the comment section, Benedick himself is plugging his own response video, âDisgustedâ by dropping a link with âthat was so disgusting! watch my video if you agree!â I love the character comments.
- If I didnât know this was a Much Ado retelling, Iâd think Ben needs to learn boundaries. The girls already told you to leave them alone, their comment section is not the place to plug your channel, mister. As it is, though, it just screams âhey Beatrice, I thought the makeup video was disgusting too, just like you did! Notice me! Pay attention to me!â This nerd. So obvious. And he genuinely doesnât even know heâs doing this. Wild. Itâs also great that Hero and Beaâs response is to completely ignore him, lol.
- Weâll also see in upcoming videos that Benâs comment is a reflection of his insecurity about losing Claudio as a friend now that he has a girlfriend.
- Plus, the comment linking his video lets Hero know that Ben has also taken the bait and will not be watching the bloopers video either.
- In the rest of the comment section: many people gushing about how adorable Hero and Claudio are, some people doing so with a tinge of sadness because they know whatâs coming, praise for how natural the acting feels in this and all the episodes, and folks picking up on the hints of Claudioâs possessiveness.
- Mooble1325 hits the nail on the head with âthey strike the right balance between making him sweet enough that hero would believably like him and already showing that touch of possessiveness that John plays on so wellâ
- Thereâs even a comment saying Hero/Claudio are cuter than Jane/Bing! It was always very interesting to compare and contrast different LIWs to each other, I love that.
- Someone also compared Claudio to the youtuber Jim Chapman, and I had to think very hard before remembering who that is. I think thereâs a slight blond-white-dude resemblance, it just trips me out to remember how many youtubers Iâve forgotten existed over the years.
- Hero in the video description urging us again to watch the makeup bloopers, you wonât regret it! This will be plot-important! The game is afoot!

Hello Lizzie! I used to think the âTeam Greens are never beating misogyny allegationsâ was just a rolling joke since greenies love stress it that Aegon the Useless is the only true heir, perfectly fit to rule the Seven Kingdoms just because heâs a man. However, Iâve recently discovered the âalysmondâ rabbit hole and Iâm not gonna lie, the green fandomâs treatment of Alys Rivers is disturbing, to put it mildly.
To start with, I was genuinely surprised to learn the Alys/Aemond thing (books) is considered⌠Romantic. Alysâ âstansâ, including women (!) tend to brush off the fact she was Aemondâs war prize- basically an object he could use as he pleased â and claim he was always respectful, gentlemanly and courteous, saved he from Strongs, who  used to mistreat and abuse her and nothing in FnB implies their ârelationshipâ wasnât consensual and Alys was beyond delighted to jump to bed with the man who slaughtered her entire family/ employers, including young children she used to nurse/look after before her very eyes. They even say the âwar brideâ is an utterly romantic term and stresses how much in love Aemond was!
Then, there are all those headcanons virtually reducing Alys to her sexuality. She was  a wet nurse? Oh, she must have had enormous breasts / mommy milkers, just made for Aemond to play with! They also fetishize Alysâ age and slobber over their idea of a âwitchy milfâ (btw book Alys doesnât look her age). This sudden love for an age gap relationships is quite surprising given how much their like to shit on daemyra and call Demon a pedophile because his wives â Laena and Rhaenyra -were significantly younger than him (not that by Westerosi standards, they were both women grown when they married him). Why Aemondâs âloveâ and âattractionâ  to 40-ish lady can be something utterly normal, but teenage Rhaenyra cannot have feelings for 30ish Daemon or find him appealing?  But Daemon is a âpedoâ and a ârapistâ, while Aemondâs a âmilf connoisseur with an amazing taste in womanâ. Funnily enough those avid defenders of Daemonâs âvictimsâ love to call Alys âAemondâs Riverpussyâ, âThe Strussyâ and so onâŚ
Of course greenies are massively disappointed in season 2 of HOTD, Aemond didnât meet Alys and generally donât seem satisfied with her portrayal. I find it upsetting people who take pride in being (show) Alysâ fans, apparently donât care about her personality. They flatly refuse to accept it that sheâs in friendly terms with Daemon, believes the prince that was promised will be Rhaenyraâs offspring (and itâs likely Daenerys) and apparently cares about the poor and the innocent. They also deny the fact Alys cried at the thought of Daemon leaving her and claim they donât see any kind of affinity between Alys and Daemon. If Alysâ actress brings up the subject of the charactersâ friendship (for example in an interview) they contradict her every word or try to make it all about Alysâ future âlove affairâ with Aemond. When Gayle says Alys feels lonely, longs for human connection and found a kindred spirit in Daemon, they interpret it as âalysmond foreshadowingâ. Itâs sad they want the character they allegedly like so much to renounce everything she believes in just to throw herself into Aemondâs arms⌠I hope the showrunners are not going to service those people.
Disclaimer: I haven't seen the second season of HotD and I don't plan on doing it. Everything I know about it is because of gifs here on Tumblr and people's opinions.
The Green stans misogyny is something very worrying to me. You know, I wouldn't have a problem with them if they simply liked the Green characters more. That's fine, to each their own. But the way they want to make them in the right because "male primogeniture is so fair" and refuse to acknowledge the obvious misogyny in every character of TG, it's fucked up.
The whole thing with Alys is incredibly disturbing. I don't believe Alys was a witch witch, if anything she was a woodswitch, but if she was a witch witch she literally sent Aemond to his death (and without being one she did the same because everyone knew Daemon was gonna kick his ass) what of that screams romance? Here's the truth, Alys was taken as a war price and raped by Aemond after he killed her entire family and then she got him killed. There was no romance here. You can like fucked up dynamics, but don't pretend they are something they are not.
The thing about the Greens is that not only ate they heavy on double standards, but they also project a lot on TB characters. Aegon was a pedophile? No, Daemon was. Aemond was cruel? No, Rhaenyra was. Their allies betrayed them? No, Rhaenyra's did.
Not to mention they are completely unable to think critically. They believe everything Eustace says, but laugh at us for believing there are some truths in Mushroom's words.
I would recommend avoid TG posts, because some are genuinely so upsetting.

You seem to be someone that likes foreshadowing. Do you look forward to sharing a specific scene in your story? Like snippets that have you crazy?
Complicated question,, Both yes, and no.
Yes, because I love writing in a way that implies something specific or with the intent to imply something specific while also not directly telling you What it is. Any friends can and will confirm the great joy I derive from â¨exploring the implications of things.⨠There is a shit ton of stuff in the first chapter that I put in there very deliberately while also avoiding telling you enough about it to Get It, and I've been dying to peel back the layers and show you my cool ideas.
On the other hand, I don't really have a lot of specific scenes in steady tracks that I want to share. Steady tracks started as the first chapter, with me having this super vivid vision surrounding my pokemon!Ingo design. I made the prologue to help the narrative flow better, and everything else has kind of been me trying to build from there. I don't have a lot of scenes set in stone particularly far in the future because I'm still not exactly sure where I want the plot to go or how I want to Get from point A to point B. There are a few things I am definitely excited for- Mainly getting other characters into the plot because that shit's Fun -but as of right now I don't have a lot of crazy plot twists or mind-shattering reveals in the works. I'm mostly just excited at the prospect of slowly introducing you all to the new normal for Ingo and what, exactly, that means, alongside the other worldbuilding and characters :] A lot of the things I'm excited about have to do with learning more about Ingo
I really like writing haha,, As of now, the future of Steady Tracks is super open so far as major plot beats and such. We're just gonna see where the tracks lead!
Thanks for the ask!
#Submas#Steady Tracks#STDNW#Ingo#Emmet#Subway Boss Ingo#Subway Boss Emmet#AUs#Pokemon!Ingo#It's kind of a slow burn in every sense. I don't expect the plot to move very quickly- but part of that is because there isn't really a big#secondary or background plot moving things along. It really is just Emmet's Daily Life is Verrry Different Now and that's kinda It#Which I suppose is probably the main issue with inspiration. I'm sure if there was more going on it would be easier to write#But I don't really Want to make more happen just for the sake of it. Yknow?#Tag Ramble#Ask#Anon

Analyzing Loki's Love Interests (Canon and Foreshadowed and Not-So-Canon)
As always, spoilers for Loki, a multitude of comics, and the MCU. I'm focusing on primarily canon love interests and implied to potentially become canon love interests, with one glaring exception because I think they deserve to be included here.
Women Love Interests
Amora: leads Loki on and then betrays him (Where Mischief Lies)
Lorelei: betrays Loki in Agent of Asgard at least twice (and she's made appearances as Loki's love interest in other comics, too, but none that I've read). It should also probably be noted that Amora and Lorelei are sisters and both have also dated Thor in other comics.
Wanda: brief but a bit of a lead-on in Scarlet Witch 8. I wouldn't say she betrayed him, though.
Leah: they're children, mostly, so there's not explicitly romantic scenes. But Kid Loki is the reincarnation of his previous self, and Leah is a clone of Hela (which makes things weird, since Hela is inconsistently acknowledged to be Loki's daughter in the comics). Leah essentially betrays him, too. (Journey into Mystery)
Sylvie: Of course, she betrays Loki at the end of season one. On the one hand, it may be worse, because unlike all but Lorelei (of the comics I know), she led him on to the point of actually kissing him. Now, I will concede that she doesn't actually lead him on throughout the show (by my definition at least), so in this, she's certainly better than Amora or Leah. I think a few times she tried letting him down gently. But if you only look at the point of betrayal, I believe she and Lorelei are the only ones who kissed him, though Amora may have, too.
Men Love Interests
Theo: The only canon male love interest on the list; trusts Loki, believes he's better than the stories say, sympathizes with him and his feelings of being outcasted. He's courageous and determined and snarky, but with Loki he's ultimately soft.
Mobius: He knows Loki, from an academic standpoint, probably better than anyone. And then he gets to know Loki off paper, so to speak, and it rewrites everything he thought he understood, about this specific person, about himself, about reality itself. But his compassion remains, his kindness remains, and he directs it toward Loki when he needs it most. And he discovers he believes in Loki, and his potential, and his ability to dismantle everything everyone expects of him, at a moment when Loki's not even sure he believes in himself. And the trailer for season two means one of two things: One, if the Mobius from the finale is not our Mobius, then Mobius very quickly moves heaven and earth (or rather, alternate timelines) to get to his Loki. Or two, if the Mobius from the finale is a memory-wiped Mobius, then even when he doesn't know Loki, he's still determined to help him. (Or Loki was able to restore his memories, but even in the finale we can still see this care Mobius takes with a frightened stranger.)
Thor: I think the way Thor feels for Loki is clear (whether you interpret it as brotherly alone or romantic). In Ragnarok, you have his line "I thought the world of you." And you have the many times in the comics Thor claims him as his own. "You are my brother, and I love you." In Original Sin, it's so interesting to hear their language very subtly cause a conflict between them. When referring to Angela, Thor always says "our sister" and Loki always says "your sister." To the point that Thor actually calls him out on it once, though I don't think Loki really addresses it. And I think Loki's wording is an attempt more to distance himself from Odin and all the shit he caused, and now Freyja, too, after the betrayal of the All-Mother in securing Old Loki's promised future at the cost of Loki's penance and redemption. And then you have that moment in King Thor, my favorite comic panel, when the Necrosword is swallowing them in darkness and in the very last moment they reach for each other. Because Thor will never give up on Loki. And, try as he might, Loki cannot hate Thor. Not permanently.
I feel like Loki's writers, when they give him these women lovers, almost do it to spite him. They think this is the only type of woman to catch Loki's attention and that haha, Loki's been outmatched by a girl (if misogynist) or diva (if they worship the ground this woman walks on). This idea that the only interesting or believable romantic subplot for Loki is with a woman who will ultimately turn on him. Once again, in all aspects of his narrative, Loki's stuck doing the same thing over and over again. Except this seems like the one thing all writers are willing to let him keep up the cycle, and be seemingly okay with upholding the cycle.
In the case of canon, an argument could be made about this kind of woman (and all of these women are very different except in that they betray him eventually) being Loki's type. There's a rather sick sense of irony in being aware of the narrative, yet being so attracted to a certain quality that he keeps sowing the seeds of his own destruction even in knowing how it's going to end.
Of course, like I've said, this doesn't mean Loki can't love a woman. This doesn't mean I don't want Loki to ever have a girlfriend. I just want Loki to have a love interest for once who isn't going to hurt him before the novel or issue or season ends. I don't even care what gender they are. I just want him to be loved. Because he keeps insisting that he isn't and that he's incapable of it. And I'm tired of that story. And I think he might be, too.

Arcane Finale
Ok, let's see how this goes. The fact that I haven't seen spoilers on my dash yet makes me think not well
How was Jinx holding her head up with this much hair? I'm imagining washing it⌠yikes.
Wonder how disorienting it was for Ekko to come back from the AUverse and see Jinx with short hair.
What is Ambessa and Noxas going to war over, exactly? I mean I know she wants hextech, but what's her excuse? Does she need one? Piltover is a major global commerce center, are we ignoring geopolitics right now.
Are they railgunning shipping containers at the ships? Sure, why not, I guess, if you're a shipping center that's what you've got.
Maddie was a mole the whole time? That's lazy tbh. It means now Caitlyn doesn't have to wrestle at all with cheating on/discarding her girlfriend as soon as her core love interest comes along, and also generally treating her like shit.
This better not be what they do to Sevika
Does Caitlyn still have the knife in her gut? She shouldn't pull it out but she's moving pretty fluidly if she has it in
I'm sorry I just don't buy Viktor going full eugenics. But I still don't know whether the show wants me to believe that it's him.
"I see your face, deceiver." Is this supposed to mean something to me. Is this LoL lore
So the Noxian military just 100% switches over to Mel immediately? That's convenient
"I'm always with you. Even when we're worlds apart." That's not an ominous line of foreshadowing at all
Are we really going for killing Jinx's dad a fifth time
This is so stupid U_U
Jinx and Vi having their Family Drama which is briefly interrupted by the Gay Exes Drama. Ekko is also there
"You always wanted to fix what you saw as imperfections." Idk I don't think Viktor was ever fixated on "imperfections", he just didn't want to die
Did Ekko not get grabbed by the hivemind beam because he spent time in another universe? Jayce needed physical contact to be brought in
I'm glad Ekko survived going more than 4 seconds back but⌠how? Guess he's allowed if it gets destroyed right afterward so he's not op
So hooded figure WAS a Viktor
So I think what they're getting at is Viktor was corrupted by an idea more than being directly controlled, I'm just still not buying it as something he would align with normally. Or that Jayce of all people is going to teach him how to have an anti-ableist mindset
Did they just collapse into some kind of gay singularity
Guess only 1 sister per timeline. Them's the breaks
Well I'm glad Sevika's leadership is finally getting acknowledged. I am going to have more complicated Thoughts on this whole thing but let's finish the episode
Implying Jinx could potentially have survived. If she wanted to. Plus the little glitch on the end card, definitely leaving themselves open for that if they choose to.
Ok I have more meal prep to work on but I will be Mulling this. I went into the last episode with "i can fix her" thoughts but I'm not sure I could figure out a way to do that without gutting half the season's content. I will report back.
Also is Ekko's tree ok???? We never circled back to the tree
