#and im rambling again oops

[oatsynalliums]

I hope you guys like my rambling because your getting it today

thanks @groovygladiatorsheep for letting me bounce ideas off of you r my saviour

repaired M au lore // to a degree I hope you can read I'm tired and it's a bit messy

Au starts when tails goes on a walk because sonic was out and busy and he was bored, amongst rubble on little planet he found the remains of a very banged up Metal sonic - who luckily had most of his original parts still intact.

Tails would pack up the parts and take them home, storing them away for a while until he figured out what he wanted to do with them(little planet would have disappeared at this point).

Sonic would become absorbed in dealing with eggman's shenanigans once more and would have left tails alone once again, much to prowers displeasure.

He would laze about for a few days before digging out the box that had contained Metal Sonic's corpse,essentially, before pulling them out carefully - reassembling the former robot.

It took a while, so long in fact that sonic had come back for a little, leaving progression the robot stunted but he did it! He fully repaired the robot.

It took some testing and re-doing code,until said robot wouldn't fly into a rage upon being powered, but after a few hours or so it was calm- docile, pleasant even.

Tails would leave the robot powered off before going to bed, waking up to a noise only to find that shadow had once again broken into the house - a common occurrence really, so common that sonic doesn't really shoo him out any more.

Shadow would question the liability of the robot, having broken into the room it was stored and had been looking it over for a bit before tails had walked in , not seeming all too bothered - shadow knows robots with murderous, destructive codes can be redeemed by his own experience thanks to omega. More or less worried about the reactions of Amy and Sonic, who were definitely still traumatized from said robot.

Tails would reassure shadow it would be fine, telling him that hed introduce the two in the morning and that the darker hedgehog could loiter and watch just incase something happened.

And so he did, and much to neithers surprise: sonic wasn't pleased.

Sonic freaked out, rather. Going off about merely getting killed before storming off, shadow being right about being worried.

They came to the conclusion that M would stay in tails room as much as possible when sonics in the house until he feels comfortable with it around - rather he came to the conclusion that it's harmless, stating that tails has to supervise it if it's around other people because of this fear.

Tails complied of course, sonic is his brother and meant the world to him so of course he listened.

Sonic wasn't around much, really, and when he was he was very visibly uncomfortable - M didn't really understand, he felt like he should but he just.. Didn't. He felt..wrong. He couldn't tell why so he didn't bother to think about it much.

Tails would invite Amy over to talk, he made sure both sonic and shadow were around in case something happened because Amy was considerably more unpredictable.

Much to tails’ surprise, she didn't freak out the way sonic did, she kept her composure - tails would tell she was upset by the way she shook but she generally tried to be polite about it. Tails assured her that if anything happened he would shut M down and rework more things, this seemed to calm both Amy and Sonic down considerably, but not fully. M truly didn't understand, but did feel bad.

Tails would continue to try and prove Ms innocence to everyone, and it did work on amy to a degree, she still wished to have others around when M is present and tails understood.

As much as sonic didn't mean to, he would have an outburst upon remembering a bad memory which ended up sparking an argument between him and tails, resulting in the smaller taking extra anger out on M which then resulted in said robot being left outside as tails went elsewhere to cool off.

It would begin to rain a few hours later, M being left outside as an order would In turn get drenched in rainwater, overheating and starting to spark as said water starts to leak into his cracked visor - short circuiting not long after.

Sonic would only walk outside to see if tails returned, spotting the robot and sighing. He would walk over and pick it up and take it inside, setting it on a chair as he drained excess water out of his head - drying him off in the process.

With the sudden influx of water touching sensitive wires, M was starting to remember thing it wished quite hard not to - remembering faintly that it had hurt someone in the past.. No more than that,however.

Tails returned home to a worried brother and a broken robot, who he promptly fixed.

Shadow would go with tails to drop M off with knuckles,who promised to watch the robot whilst they went to tend to some things - and to finally spend some time with the fella they've been raving about for the past few weeks.

Knuckles couldn't shake the feeling of being watched, but he and M got along quite well! He did complain to tails that the robot was very withdrawn, though.

Silver would pay them a visit a few days later, stating that something felt wrong and he wanted to hang around for a while to see if he could stop the problem- obviously withholding information from them.

Silver would end up confiding in sonic that the repairing of M caused something to shift in his time and that he was hoping to stop whatever would occur, even if he himself wasn't sure what really happened to cause it - he begged sonic not to tell tails, however, knowing how much the boy cared for the robot. The former complied.

The next while in the house was tense, sonic kept his eyes on M as silver hung around to see if he could figure out what could have happened - shadow tried to reason with them that M quite literally can't think about being violent without someone writing that code back in but neither really bought it.

Sonic would take tails out for some bonding, shadow leaving to go visit rouge and omega - which left silver to look over the house and M, to which the thought wouldn't be hard.

Tails and sonic came back abruptly a few hours later because they saw eggman flying around, to which they arrived home to a missing robot and silver who has a concussion at the very least.

Both tails and sonic thought the worst had happened as the taller tended to the wound silver had obtained, both waiting for said hedgehog to come to.

When silver came too he was bombarded by questions from tails, receiving the answer that eggman pretty much just grabbed M and took off - silver tried to fight him off but you could see how that went.

Tails would relay that information to sonic who had been pacing outside.

They told Silver to stay in the house and they'd be back soon,hopefully with the robot.

Silver didnt listen,obviously.

It didn't take long for them to find where eggman flew off too, silver catching up fairly quickly.

M had been left by himself during this, and he was remembering things again - the way he hurt amy and sonic. The race he lost. The fact that eggman created him.. He was so caught up in this that he didn't notice the debris flying at him until it was too late - said debris making contact and nearly shattering his head, dislodging it from his neck somewhat and causing him to fall over, unable to move.

Tails would end up spotting him on the ground after a little and would rush over to check on him,immediately becoming distressed over it.

Silver would stand between them as Eggman went on about something, sonic walking over too check on the situation with tails and M.

Silver would urge them to hurry up as eggman himself was getting back up and the building was starting to collapse - sonic would think for a moment before taking M from tails and standing up, holding the robot tightly as he hurried out of the building, followed by silver and tails.

Shadow ended up running into them as they were hurrying away from the scene, joining them in going back to the house to fix M and re patch silvers wounds because he was bleeding through his previous bandages.

Tails would spend ages trying to repair M, much to the others worry cause he hasn't left in a day he's so focused on fixing him properly that he lost track of time.

But he fixed M, to whom tails promptly apologized to before hugging onto and not wanting to let go for a while - sonic coming to check on them after a bit, patting M on the back after he fixed tails’ hair.

And that's all i got lmao

on a completely separate note; shizun luo binghe with a disciple shen yuan who fell into the abyss??? *thinks about LBH canonically stealing SQQ's corpse for 5 years* he'd hallucinate i think. like, like visual and audial hallucinations.

Keeps thinking he's seeing SQQ in the corner of his eyes, or wandering between the trees, amongst a group of disciples. Thinks he hears him calling for him, but its just the wind or another disciple.

Gets Xiu Ya reforged but patently fucking refuses to make a sword mound. Because his disciple Is Not Dead :))) There was No Body. He's Not Dead. And If You keep Insisting That He Is, He's Gonna Skewer You :). He's holding onto Xiu Ya so he can return his most favored disciple's sword when he returns. It's on his hip right next to Zheng Yang where it's supposed to be.

Also this motherfucker?? does not sleep btw. He has the image of SQQ, wide eyed and hysterical and standing at the mouth of the abyss burned into his fucking eyelids. Can't use the dreamscape to escape it either because he keeps trying to save him and either he does and it's an incredibly cruel trick to wake up to, or he doesn't and he gets his heart broken in several different pieces again.

There is no convincing this man that Shen Qingqiu is dead. Absolutely nothing at all. He is buried so deep in denial that moles would be jealous of how deep he is. He keeps making tea for two in the bamboo house only to remember that it's just him. SQQ's fans are hiding everywhere, little reminders of his presence. He goes to wake up SQQ on the mornings he sleeps in-- only to find the room empty.

i’m actively sucking off kairos while he’s crossdressing 🩷 he’s so cute <3

i'm giggling... once again, hard agree with you (/▿＼ )

ooh... Imagining Kairos laying darling down on the bed before cutely lifting his dainty skirt to reveal his twitching cock. He places knees on each side of your head as he slowly thrusts his dick into your mouth, gradually increasing his pace...

And then at some point, the sucking just becomes full-on face fucking. His small thighs are pressing against your head as he's unable to control himself, and his shaking hands are harshly gripping the bed sheets.

All of that while beads of sweat trickle down his pale skin.. He thrusts so enthusiastically...! Whimpers your name and praises you like crazy...

Sigh...... (*ﾉωﾉ)

When he's cross-dressing, you can call him your "good girl" ღ

[rouwaa143]

thank you for sticking by the past april!

day 30 - free day

(ramble below)

HONESTLY i just did the challenge because i wanted to prove myself that i can draw milgram for a whole month and im glad people enjoyed my art!! however art might not be posted as frequently as everyday unless i take up another challenge (Which is unlikely, i'll save my energy for other months with the challenge)

i will be on artfight later this july! i will do a post when that time comes and it'll be mostly oc art (i like drawing for other people and for myself)

i dont have any active social medias aside from twitter (if you found me on there, hi!) i dont talk to people much because anxiety but i also want to socialize.... i hope i get to know the milgram tumblr mutuals and followers someday because im still surprised that i got a small following on here

i have a youtube channel that i upload sometimes! its for when i have energy to make videos then ill do stuff there

im not sure for the plans for this blog yet since its probably multifandom, just more milgram-focused because thats my fixation at the moment (help me)

i also like limbus company but i don't talk about it much in this blog (you can see my youtube channel that i make limbus content stuff on there) im mostly using it as a way to wait for milgram content to drop because we're in a drought right now

THIS GOT TOO LONG UHHHHHH im just some guy who roleplays and do art sometimes. i chose the last day as a drawing parody to mesmerizer (flashing lights/bright colors) because i like the idea of mikoto and fuuta dancing and mikoto is signaling for help

and knowing what already happened to fuuta. i was just like. yeah hes fucked up.

i also wanted to end the challenge with me drawing humans (i can draw them its just i dont do it often because im not too confident with them)

anyways thank you for listening in! if you read it this far, see you in other posts if i have the energy to make them!

QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK

[xxplastic-cubexx]

sorry if you've already mentioned but what (re?)ignited your love of comics/x-men/cherik? curious because there are so many different adaptations of them

i think im gonna speak for a few (or a lot of) people when i say that TL;DR the wolverine x deadpool movie that came out this summer is what pulled me back into comics and i COULD leave it there but i will go into excruciating and unnecessary detail instead because i love an origin story and i love oversharing.

under the cut tho because im nice sometimes (there's also wxdp doodles in here. if you want to see that)

ironically (and probably commonly), growing up i was more of an avengers kid. Kinda. Loosely <- binge watched the cartoons and movies and read copious amounts of comics and fics and i am hoarding fanart in my old dresser as we speak ok 'loosely' is a modest lie.

embarrassingly i remember getting into discus cause of captain america LMAO so yeah needless to say i was a Humble Fan- me joining my school's comic class/club didnt help either (shoutout to my teach from that she was the realest one out there for. A Multitude of reasons). she definitely is was inspires me to even draw still and make comics and i often think bout the tips i learned from her class tbh she was great

back to the movies t and comics tho, i got into em because my brother would offer to take me and that's how we'd hang out (i rarely saw movies in theaters and i even more rarely went anywhere as a teenager. still kinda like that today tbh ooops) and yk. it just snowballed after that.

my brother and i have always liked comics- he just more than me for a while (though he still very much loves comics and As We Know From My Posts we still talk about them whenever i see him To An Exhausting Degree)

durin then i was really into stony and i have a few surviving doodles i made but those are between me and god. and anyone who asks tbh LOL

'snap can you make this related to x-men again this is long' ok so fast forward to This Summer again I Still Don't Really See Movies but my brother offered to take me and this was the first time i'd actually seen an x-men movie in full

as a kid i only remember seeing the 'perfection' scene between erik and raven in first class while i was channel surfing. pretty sure i changed the channel after seeing mystique naked cause i was scared my parents would get mad at me if they caught me watching it LOL

BUT MOVING ON As A Kid i think it's also natural you'll sometimes watch 92 if it's on And I Did though evidently it didn't stick too hard (i do remember really liking beast and gambit though.... still do really): my knowledge of x-men was. INCREDIBLY sparse. like diabolically so so i didnt have too much expectations (aside from the fact i vaguely liked deadpool beforehand).

tbh i dont know why my bro never took me to see any of the x-men movies. it's not like he doesn't Also like x-men (90% sure nightcrawler's his favorite but my brother will be caught dead saying he has absolute favorites like that)- he owns a bitch load of deadpool comics/omnibus sets too (of which ive read over the years and reread this year) but Shrug moving on

Much Like Most Of The Internet i fell down the rabbit hole that way. i have some doodles i made a couple days after seeing WxDP that i now have an excuse to throw at all of you Look And Perceive

and so. As I Do. i got curious and told myself i'd binge watch all the x-men movies the week before i went back to school And Then I Did ft. My Brother Sometimes and then i said i'd binge watch all of '92 and And I Did That ft. My Brother Sometimes But Less So and now we're here. currently watching Evolution...

once i got to school i realized i lived near a comic shop and started getting into the comics that way (the first ones i got since going down this rabbit hole was Magneto Was Right!, The Resurrection of Magneto, and The Trial of Magneto. if you were curious !!!!! clearly i didnt care too much about context i just needed to see My Guy jelvejlkvj i have no regrets and Evidently ive read more since)

i'm pretty sure what dragged me into cherik specifically was the fact i saw a clip of The Famous ending to 92 where erik's aghast at the notion jean even has to question his love for charles. i think that was what officially had me refocus my lens on them: not a single poolverine thought after that LOL (all the cherik posting i saw on twitter definitely helped too but that was the nail in the coffin for any other interests i had: i was locked into cherik and x-men in general now)

that clip specifically, i was surprised at the fact they- frequently even- have the x-men franchise say erik loves charles and vice versa so bluntly. even if it's not meant to be romantic, i fear im just a fan of how casually the word's thrown around with them two and i got tender bout it all. Then Yk. i just live for the drama. the hilarity even. the sincerity .... they make me sick if i think of them too long so im gonna end it here

before i go tho ironically enough, the first x-men issue i owned was This one (story a this is that while stuck in some wacko dimension charles accidentally gets himself trapped in logan's mind while utilizing his astral projection. if you were curious). pretty sure i got it for free with another comic set i got years ago since our old comic shop loved to do that, but it's poetic aint it. maybe ill doodle something referencing it..

i should probably look into finishing this arc someday im Dummy curious to even know how it started and how it ends.....

[sairitaikutsu]

what if i wrote manlybadasshero oneshots and compiled them what would happen

[error04landonotfound]

Ok so the gap between Lando and Max is like, 47 points, right? Mathematically speaking, it's doable.

Will it happen? Idk. Will I get major anxiety like I have a personal stake in each race until Abu Dhabi? Absolutely.

Tbh, we (I) might need to make a support group because wow. I never thought I'd get this invested, yet here I am getting heart palpitations during races.

[artsydevotee]

just rewatched the s5 finale of miraculous and ooo i am itching for some adrien angst. let my boy have his character arc PLEASE

[rodentbrains]

the way sidestep ortega and chen are forever tied to each other by heartbreak mostly/especially because they cannot talk about it to each other or those who weren't there. the way that dannys feelings reflect a general truth which is that as long as they dont talk about it there will always be a wall between them and everyone else. the way they don't even get the full comfort of the quiet knowledge that at least these two other people know exactly what you went trough due to the telepathic nature of the event. the way we know the least about heartbreak from ortega's perspective who came closest to experiencing it "objectively"

[oh-no-its-bird]

Adjusting my glasses and squinting at my ask box

One of you guys REALLY wants edo tensei tobirama huh

VORTEX - An Analysis

Season 1/Start of Season 2 Analysis: ❗Season 1 Spoilers Ahead❗

Disclaimer: All thoughts are my own personal interpretation and contain my own theories. Additionally, this post will be of a significant length.

Starting with the Opening Chorus:

Let it unfold Will howling tides give me something to hold? On to my life when I've sunken so low Over the end of the vortex we took every breath to follow Where do we go Where do we end up when we save the world Truth in the shadows so brightened in gold Place our fate into the ones aren't in control

Starting out the season, Cheng Xiaoshi's life has been completely flipped upside down. From Qiao Ling being possessed by the other power user to Lu Guang bleeding out on their living room sofa, CXS is utterly at a loss as his life has "sunken so low." In fact, it's almost assumed that CXS blames himself for much - if not all - of what's happened as he knows the mistakes he made in the past likely led to change what has unfolded in the present. At the beginning of the season, the line that seemed to stand out the most was, "Place our fate into the ones aren't in control." This is said and fades out as CXS is falling, falling, falling and being thrown around through the chaos and void of everything around him. It fades out before hearing the word "control" very clearly and almost sets this tune of "slipping away," as if what little control he did have previously is sliding right through his fingers.

Verse 1:

Stop A couple things undue Drop the fight and let it follow through Freeze just for a sec or two Breathe again in the world anew I guess that there was never such a thing Like everything's meant to be But I'mma win this silly game Until then I will never leave Take back all my regrets And camouflage it like your silhouette Time is like music Play it 'til the end and then reset Knowing it all am I destined to fall? Like once you did for me

This verse at the beginning of the season very much felt like a promise from CXS to LG. Especially with the lines, "Take back all my regrets," "But I'mma win this silly game," and "Knowing it all am I destined to fall? Like once you did for me." Each one of them seemed to double down time and time again on CXS's resolve to fix the problem he likely believes to have created. Throughout the verse, he's falling and the audience sees glimpses of him being tossed around once again and LG falling as well - like a mirror to CXS. It's like CXS is watching both of them plummet due to his own wrong doings. However, while these lyrics paint one picture, the actual animation seems to paint another. During this verse, it's shown that LG is the one falling alongside our antagonist and QL while she's possessed. By showing the audience this image alongside the lyrics it can be inferred that there's something else going on with LG regarding these characters. At the beginning of the season, it was likely heavily believed that it had to do with LG's life hanging in the balance. However, there always seemed to be a sinister undertone that the audience seemed to clue in on and want to understand.

Backwards Portion:

In the intro, everything goes forward and during this portion, it all goes backwards. As the song rolls into the distorted backward melody, the audience watches as CXS falls over and over again; back to the beginning. After the smallest touch from LG's hand, CXS is dropped back into the chaos the same way he might be when he enters a photo after a shared high-five. The audience watches as everything slips away from CXS, completely unable to grab or hold onto anything to stop him from falling all over again.

I'll go into more of the full song in the next section as I didn't actually listen to it until the end of Season 2.

Overall, I believed that we were about to see a season where CXS would desperately try anything and everything to save LG, but that it might all have slipped away from him at the last second. However, just as I discussed in my "Dive Back in Time - Analysis," I was severely mistaken by what was hidden underneath in both of these openers.

❗Season 2 Spoilers & More In-Depth Analysis Below❗

Season 2 Analysis: ❗Season 2 Spoilers❗

Once we received the knowledge that LG had dove back in time to save CXS, the way this opener was interpreted changed quite a bit as well. I don't believe it was as drastic as Season 1's "Dive Back in Time," but it certainly did change.

Verse 1:

Stop A couple things undue Drop the fight and let it follow through Freeze just for a sec or two Breathe again in the world anew I guess that there was never such a thing Like everything's meant to be But I'mma win this silly game Until then I will never leave Take back all my regrets And camouflage it like your silhouette Time is like music Play it 'til the end and then reset Knowing it all am I destined to fall? Like once you did for me

Where, in the beginning, this verse seemed like a promise from CXS to LG, its script is nearly flipped as the audience discovers LG's secret. Once assumed to be CXS's words, it's almost certain that these are likely LG's instead or as well as CXS's. The word that really seems to prominently stick out is "undue." Why use that word? When first listening to the song, it's almost assumed that it's "undo" as in undoing the present or the past, unraveling something that was once almost certain. However, with the change of word, it changes this intention entirely. The way the word is used could imply 2 different things: 1. "A couple things undue" - Maybe a couple things that are excessive, inappropriate, or extreme that they have to deal with. Or... 2. "A couple things undue" - as in "not paid" or "not yet paid." This would be a good nod to the fact that LG had gone back in time to save CXS and his "death" is currently "unpaid." Additionally, the lyrics following: "Freeze just for a sec or two, Breathe again in the world anew," really seem to double down on that idea of CXS coming back and LG asking him to pause, wait, stay in the new world he created by going back in order to save CXS. However, once all of this starts unraveling again, LG seems to start questioning the world he created. "I guess that there was never such a thing, Like everything's meant to be." Reading the rest of the verse, it becomes increasingly more clear that this is more likely from LG's perspective and reflecting back on what is currently happening in their lives along with the decision that he made to go back and try it all over again. "Like once you did for me," really seems to seal the idea and theory that LG wanted to sacrifice himself in place of CXS at the top of Season 2.

Verse 2:

Back to me I know that you can track it back to me No matter who and what and when intertwined dive back in time The truth will remember our legacy Wasn't it hard to follow? I'd do it again tomorrow It drag me down and drag me down Maybe we'll never leave Like trying to bend water Why would you even bother Time is like music Now you know I've got to kill it Wanting it all And the whole world will crumble and fall

"Back to me, I know that you can track it back to me," immediately tips off that this entire verse desperately has to be from LG's POV. As it might have been assumed early in the season that "I know that you can track it back to me," could point towards CXS's mistakes from the previous season, knowing what LG did, this has to be about that. At the end of the day, LG knows that the choice he made to save CXS is the main node in this current timeline; and therefore, all of this can be tracked back to him and that one decision he made to go back. The next two lines heavily imply that LG knows that despite what happens in this timeline, the truth remembers their legacy (assumed LG & CXS). It's almost as if he's recognizing that this timeline might not be the truth, but that outside of this one lived experience, the galaxy, stars, truth will always remember what he and CXS were always meant to be and the true lives they were meant to carry. By stating this, it leads the audience to believe that there is in fact a true or correct timeline and that it's possible LG knows what it is. The following four lines, starting with: "Wasn't it hard to follow?" and ending with "Maybe we'll never leave," really reiterates that LG does not, under any circumstance, regret the decision that he made to go back. He may have broken his rule, but there's no remorse in doing so. LG also recognizes that the choice he made is nearly fruitless. "Like trying to bed water, Why would you even bother?" LG knows that it makes no sense that he even tried, but he talks about "Wanting it all" even though he knows that it would make "...the whole world will crumble and fall." Overall, this whole verse feels like LG basically saying a huge "fuck you" to the universe and expressing that he will do anything to ensure that a timeline where CXS is alive and well will exist.

Chorus:

Let it unfold Will howling tides give me something to hold? On to my life when I've sunken so low Over the end of the vortex we took every breath to follow Where do we go Where do we end up when we save the world Truth in the shadows so brightened in gold Place our fate into the ones aren't in control

By the end of the season, this chorus could easily be seen from LG's POV as well. "Let it unfold," - is this about the timeline/future that he's trying to see play out? The howling tides could be a nod towards all of the hard times they're going through as it might not be the best, but at least it's something - a timeline where CXS is alive, at least giving LG something to hold. Then, noting that his life has "sunken so low," likely because of how LG's life has dwindled to a place that he's just so desperately trying to save CXS that nothing else matters anymore. There's questions he seems to have for when they manage to set everything right and are allowed to move on. Where do they go from there? Everything LG will have fought for will have petered out and he sounds as if he might feel a little lost. Is he worried that CXS won't need him when they've managed to make everything right? "Truth in the shadows so brightened in gold." This line really feels like it's about CXS. The audience knows that CXS's eyes change to "gold" when he jumps in a picture. So, this line could possibly be LG pointing out that all of the "truth" that can be found is hidden, but may be found via CXS. As if he might be the key to "setting the truth right." Which leads to the final line of the chorus: "Place our fate into the ones aren't in control." Hearing this and knowing what place LG is in during the entire season, it could be inferred that he's placing their fate in CXS's hands and while he appeared to be the one "in control" during the season, he truly wasn't. Thus, placing their fate into the hands of someone not in control.

Closing Stanza:

I've held promises unbroken Even when the night has fallen Shattered mirrors our reflection Should you keep the light on reason I've held promises unbroken Shattered mirrors our reflection

It would be hard to believe that this could be anyone's POV except LG's after the end of Season 2. He's held many, many promises, rules, ideals- unbroken even in the hardest of situations. LG is presented time and time again throughout both seasons as a stickler for the rules. By doing this, it created a narrative for something like this: "I've held promises unbroken, Even when the night has fallen." While simultaneously creating a human aspect about him and allowing him to make a "human" mistake and become a "hypocrite" by breaking his own ideals to go back and save CXS. Thus, potentially leading to the next 2 lines: "Shattered mirrors our reflection, Should you keep the light on reason" LG recognizes that the shift and changes in the timeline has, in fact, "shattered" their reflection. It's almost alluded to that he's aware of the changes and multiple timeline parallels; and its even hinted at that this timeline might not even be the second or third one that he's lived through to try and save CXS. Additionally, when first listening to the line, it's curious that it's not written/sang in such a way that it sounds like "Shattered mirrors. Our reflection," as if indicating shattered mirrors being their reflection, but that "shattered" is what mirrors their reflection. Thus, giving a slightly different idea/feel to the line. It really helps drive home the idea/theory that there are multiple timelines and LG has potentially gone back and experienced a handful of them in order to bring them to the current present time. It helps the audience gauge that there's likely more information that LG knows that has been unrevealed and that the time-traveling theories are much wilder and more vast than originally imagined from Season 1. After notating the shattered reflection, the next line could be a question LG asks himself. Is it worth it to hold onto the ideals and rules when everything has shattered beyond a point he might believe to be irreparable? Is it worth it when CXS's life is on the line? How much longer should he hold onto reason while he's actively committed and continues to commit hubris in regard to their fate?

Final Thoughts:

A couple of things to note before I officially close. 1. The final "Let it unfold" feels like a call LG is making to the void/timeline. Asking for it all to show itself. To be the way it should be/he wants it to be. He's desperate to see the final outcome to the onslaught of choices and hard decisions he made to get there. 2. The line, "Over the end of the vortex we took every step to follow," really intrigued me. Looking it up, "the end of a vortex" is an actual space that exists. It's: - The phenomenon when under some conditions the vortex core deviates from the axis of the cyclone separator and attaches to the wall, where it rotates at some level above the bottom of the separator. & A flow instability that plays a crucial role in cyclone design and operation. By reading this, it's incredibly interesting to think of the fact that LG potentially believes that they've been existing and following this "experimental" space within the vortex of time. They're following this phenomenon that's still being experimented on, studied, and understood in regards to water vortexes - let alone, time-travel. It's not something that is concrete or has sound science backing it, yet, LG seems to be experimenting on his own. I believe it's interesting that this phrase was chosen potentially for this very reason. LG has likely been "experimenting" with the timeline in order to come to the end of his intended conclusion regarding CXS's life in this [time] space that is entirely unknown and untested. He's been taking them down this route and keeping them in a space that is not only unstudied but also unknown and completely unstable. Overall, I think this song really doubles down on a lot of the theories going around regarding LG and CXS, but also gives us hints and insight into information that we might not know yet as the audience. There are certain words and keyphrases used in these lyrics that really seem to tip the audience off to deeper and more profound theories that I cannot wait to see unravel in later seasons!

For those of you who made it to the end, thank you for listening to my ramblings. I love this show so much and was really excited to do a deep dive analysis on both VORTEX and Dive Back in Time! I think this show is beautifully well done and I cannot wait to see more!📸💙

& if you haven't read the Dive Back in Time Analysis and liked this one, you should check it out!

That's all for now! Thanks again for reading!😊💙

"Pencil room."

"I ate a lot of garlic bread! 😀 So. Much. Garlic bread... 😦"

"Argh! Too slow!"

"I've never been more sure of anything in my life. Well, there was this one time in Paris- never mind. Just zap us."

"aaaaAAAAAHHHHH-"

"I'm starting a dirt farm in New Mexico."

"...too slow again."

"I have an idea." (Stares off into space w/o elaborating) "Are you going to tell me what it is?" "Oh, uh, yes, follow me."

"I made a wax figure of myself!"

"What are you doing?" "Destroying a gadget. I need the parts to build other gadgets, and destroying this one will be good fun. aaAAAHH-"

"I CAN'T STOP DROPPING THINGS!!!"

"Help... me..."

"Take a look at my calculator-inator!" "That's a regular calculator." "Just--just LET ME HAVE THIS ONE!!"

This girl is not sane seriously

"Therefore, while destroying this gadget is likely a mistake, it'll probably be the best decision of my life, so if everyone will please stand back, this sound is likely to be loud! AAAAAHHHH-" (crash)

"And now that I control all scientists, I shall be the one to rule the world! MWAH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA! Joking. Joking. So joking. I'm gonna smash these!"
