inexplicable sense of frenzied guilt is STILL haunting me

[inkdemonapologist]

[BatIM Cthulhu] MORE CTHULHU SCRIBBLES, this time from session 4!! Here we have, uh,

The yellow fog that's taking over New York seems to be able to hijack people and make them think they're one of the characters from the King in Yellow play. Susie DID get brainwashed but we're unclear on whether the knife-twirling skills were there already. IT JUST WOULDNT SURPRISE ME, U KNOW?

AVEDONS HERE??????? If you don't remember Avedon i dont blame you, he last showed up back in seASON 2, in NOLA, where he lost his mind and locked Sammy and Jack in his closet at gunpoint and then started shooting the host at the masquerade party. He seems a little more sane this go round but everyone decided Sammy and Jack should not be in the welcoming party. Anyway sorry NYC is like this for your visit Avedon, I promise there's usually less dread carcosa

Sammy brought Prophet out to see if he could tell whether or not Peter is THE ONE THE PHANTOM SEEKS and Prophet decided to make sure he was getting an accurate reading by smooshing his hands all over Peter's face. Don't worry about it, Peter!! It's fine. Normal Sammy Behaviour.

And if you'd like some Out of Context quotes from our session, those are under the cut!

[Sammy is played by me, Joey is played by Boo (inkyvendingmachine), Henry is played by Maf (inkcryptid), Jack is played by Mochi (whatyouwantedmetosee) and Thren (haunted-hijinxer) is our GM!]

[Sammy] *recapping* Joey tried to do some bullshit, and it, uh, made things worse! [GM] It got some attention, it seems! [Joey] EHhhhhhhhh, [Sammy] Yeah, he was doing his nonsense, and then the Phantom showed up because he was doing his nonsense -- [Joey] ehhhhhhhhhhh [Sammy] And then we hit the Phantom with Jack's car! A rational and reasonable response to the unknowable. [Jack] Joey MADE Jack hit the Phantom with his car. [Joey] EHHHHHHHHH, [Jack] Because Jack wouldn't do this on purpose. He likes his car! [Sammy] I think that's entirely reasonable. No reasonable person would have done this course of events.

[Sammy] What happens if you drive a car in Carcosa [Sammy] It's in the name, it should be a good place for cars... [Jack] It actually cancels out because there's two of them, so you just get "Cosa."

[Joey] One of the times, the Mercedes is going to be missing and it's not because of Yellow Sign stuff, it's just that someone finally stole it. [Sammy] Car gets its tires slashed, "THIS IS THE WORK OF THE YELLOW KING!!!"

[Jack] Even if it's safety glass, I feel like Jack doesn't want to sit in a bunch of glass! [Henry] Exfoliation. [Jack] ON HIS BUTT????

[Joey] Just venting about everything that has been happening, but it's clearly all this other guy's fault? [Sammy] I love Joey having no particular distinction between "annoying person who's getting in the way of me making cartoons" and "eldritch entity" - WHICH IS THE SAME THING, it's just an annoying person who's getting in the way of making cartoons! [Joey] YEAH!!

[Sammy] Jack struck me as someone who'd be a cautious driver. [GM] And he let Sammy drive his car?!

[Joey] It's taking Joey a little longer to finish his ritual, because he keeps getting angry and ranting more, [Sammy] "*draws one line* AND ANOTHER THING--!"

[GM] Avedon says you need to watch out for each other, because something's already messing with Norman -- [Joey] what, wAIT-- WHAT? [GM] --and he needs you guys to come find him, he's at this hotel, and he thinks he knows how to destroy the Phantom. [Joey] Have you called Norman? [GM] He says, "Where do you think I got this number?" And then he hangs up. [Joey] .................................................................. [Sammy/Jack/Henry] *IMMEDIATELY LOSING IT* [Jack] *still cracking up* H-how, how mad is Joey right now, [Joey] ...........................I need to look something up.

[Joey] I know way too much about, the history of phone technologies now, [Sammy] This game is educational. Nobody tells you that.

[Joey] What is up with your crazy friend?! [Norman] You're going to have to be more specific.

[Joey] Wait, DID you get a call from Avedon? [GM] Norman says that he got word from The Advisor earlier. [Jack].... Hm. [Sammy] Norman??????? [Joey] ...iS SUSIE STILL THERE, [GM] Uh, yeah! He hands over the phone. [Joey] IS SHE NORMAL????????????????? [GM] She likes to think so!

[Joey] Nobody's going to let Peter choose his own methods of communication, he just gets to RECEIVE [Sammy] Look! He was warned!!

[GM] Peter's glancing at Jack like, is this concerning? [Jack] Well Jack looks CONCERNED, but he's not concerned about this, specifically. This is refreshingly normal.

[Sammy] And the Traitor mercifully absent! [Jack] I know you said "traitor", but I heard "trader," like no that's a different AU, [Joey] Oh good. No Wandering Traders. [everyone makes villager "Hrrrm" noises] [Sammy] Prophet's ALSO murdering llamas for leads, [Jack] I mean, we could do with a lead about now! I don't know if we have any other than Avedon. [Joey] *uncontrollably giggling at this joke for the next 15 seconds* [Sammy] Oh boy, [Joey] *still giggling* iT WAS A REALLY gOOD ONE,,,

[Joey] Does Jack's car look any different to Henry? [Jack] Well there's a weird splat mark in the shape of a guy,

[Sammy] Be vigilant! His will can overtake your own. [Henry] Hm,,, you too,

[GM] Does anyone want to do a summary of where we were at? [Jack] I have an extremely short summary: [Jack] Shit's Fucked.

[Sammy] Avedon told us to meet him because THE WORLD IS IN PERIL [Sammy] which, I think it's really important to remember that Avedon is French, when you imagine him saying the word "peril." That's all.

[Sammy] It's not TOO late to visit people, but it is maybe an awkward time to-- [Jack] When has awkward timing EVER stopped this-- [Sammy] NEVER. It's never stopped us. [Henry] I think it would be weirder if we arrived at an opportune time, at this point! [Joey] It IS a great time for a snake to show up, I feel like. [Sammy] That's true. It's never a wrong time for a snake to show up, honestly.

[Joey] Enough time has passed that Joey will come out to the parking lot. [Sammy] I really thought you were gonna say "come out to the party" [Jack] Joey's coming out? [GM] *laughing* I think they already know!

[Joey] Also, Norman has started acting very weird. [Henry] How? [Joey] You know how, sometimes people start saying things, in situations like this, where they think... [Joey]...yOU KNOW HOW PROPHET DESCRIBES PEOPLE?

[Jack] I can't believe you're splitting up the boyfriends! [Jack] ...as compared to the other boyfriends, [Sammy] I feel like it's really hard to split this party without splitting up some boyfriends somewhere.

[GM] Jack doesn't want to drive and Sammy doesn't know where he's going - ✨TEAMWORK!✨ :D

[Jack] You go through all of Henry's coats and none of them are familiar, and they're all extremely stylish [Henry] That's not Carcosa, that's Joey.

[Jack] Oh no, his accent's Italian now! [Sammy] That's just what happens when you come to New York.

[GM] Make a sanity check. [Henry] For looking at a clarinet???

[Henry] Henry is... maybe taking a closer look out the window. [Sammy] I support him. I'm not there, but I support him-- [Henry] Then, yeah, I'm gonna say he's doing that! [Sammy] --from afar, where I suffer no consequences.

[Henry] Henry has his hand on his gun. [Henry] ...he knows that he can't, like, SHOOT CARCOSA, but, [Jack] Carcosa's haunted.

[Joey] I actually succeeded the luck check! [Sammy] Congratulations, that's a feat for Joey! [Jack] It's his natural talent.

[Henry] I wish I had the words to describe the face Henry is making. [Henry] If Scared and Defeated had a baby.

[GM] Avedon turns around, looking wild-eyed behind his glasses, and says, because he is the master of smart things, "We need to get out of here!" [Joey] NO SHIT, SHERLOCK!

[GM] In fact, you think you hear conspiratorial whispering in the distance! [Henry] But our conspiratorial whisperer is accounted for...

[Joey] Joey's just going to march up behind them and ask what's going on. [GM] They are both going to jump to their feet, and bow, actually, [Sammy] Um. [Jack] Hmmmm. [Sammy] UM. [GM] and say, "we were just dealing with matters of State, Your Highness." [Joey] [Joey] *quiet giggling* [Jack] Oh no. [Sammy] Joey doesn't need this. Joey doesn't need this. [Jack] His ego's already so big!!

[Sammy] You're going to open the door and the Phantom's gonna be standing there. [Henry] "Want some weed?"

[Joey] Avedon can stay with Norman. They're friends. [Sammy] I don't-- we'll see how Norman is. [Joey] I mean, I don't think, no matter what, that Norman can be weirder than Avedon?

[GM] You can make a psychology roll, if you want! [Sammy] OKAY, we'll see, I'm not holding out a lot of hope on Sammy getting this-- [Sammy] *rolls* ....WELL. That is... an extreme success. I rolled a TWO. [Jack] Are we sure SAMMY hasn't been replaced? [Joey] Has Shazz been replaced? [Jack] Have Shazz's dice been replaced????

[Jack] Jack is probably trying to get... any.... information out of Norman, [Sammy] Sorry, I left you the hard mode one. [Joey] Kiss him!!

[m3r1m4r5u333]

Buddie really is all about playing Scrabble, guys. Let's rearrange HILDY, and play it "on Scrabble"!

....

Chris: HILDY? Are we getting Hildy 😁?!

Eddie, scared: No, we are definitely not!

....

What could HILDY be? Play Scrabble. Rearrange the letters. Y hid L! "You hid love". That's the love story of buddie, "buddies".

Scary love. Hidden love. The kind you avoid admitting. Even to yourself.

Because it sparks between two men. Two "straight" men. Men who just telling themselves they are... Allies.

And because it's the kind of love that freaks you out anyway - falling for a friend. A buddie.

And because you've already experienced grief, and are scared to love again.

------

Buck and Chris are playing video games. It looks super domestic, like a little family.

Then Eddie freaks out about talk of "Hildy" and disconnects the game from the server.

Chris: "😐 Buck, can we go to your place and play video games?"

Buck: "Uhh sorry, kid. I think we're gonna be playing it "old school" for a while...

Chris: "What's "old school"?

Buck: ...Have you ever heard of Scrabble?"

Rearrange the "letters", folks. ✉️🎬 See what "HILDY" is. Moments out of order, love that's still hiding.

....

Eddie: Somehow, we became a ready-made family... And I... I don't know if I'm ready for that.

....

Buck: Eddie. I have been Ana. I know what it's like to be in love with someone who is not all the way in.

...Deep down you know it, and it hurts. It hurts worse than the truth. So if you don't want to hurt Ana, you owe it to her to be honest.

...

Eddie: I don't know. Just feels like a lot, man!

Buck: Well. Go to sleep. No need to decide right now! It's not like we're going home anytime soon!

...

Then these two themes that come up, repeatedly."I see you"/"I don't even know what that means!"

"Isn't that what we all want in a partner, to be seen?"

(Lola threatening to jump off a bridge, next to a sign she made: "SEE ME NORMAN!")

"Lola! Lola honey, it's me! I'm here. And I see you, just like the sign says!"

"Liar! You look right through me, Norman. You don't even notice me!

I'm just around to... To collect the mail!" (Or... Male? Go listen to the very queer love triangle coded song Copacapana by Barry Manilow. There's a famous "Lola"...)

"I don't even know what that means! ... I'm the one who brings in the mail?

... I see you, Lola! I notice you!"

.....

(The song lyrics: Don't go chasing waterfalls... Please stick to the lakes and the rivers you're used to...)

To Buck, still in the closet: "Don't go chasing waterfalls, Buck!"

Buck: "I don't even know what that means!"

------

That scene with closeted Tommy:

He's asked if he's ever considered that maybe he is more "team Jacob" than "team Bella"?

Tommy: I don't even know what that means!

-----

Then the concept of finding true love, and cherishing it.

"Love, actually... is all around..."

Buck, Actually:

Thomas: "He can't go! He's my heart, my everything...

Thomas: ... When we got married? We thought what the hell. We have so little life left. Might as well live it.

That was Mitchell - always daring the clock. And I, always following along. All those foolish things we did... We only ever wanted to go together. That's love.

Buck: "I guess I can only hope to find something that good."

Thomas: "You don't find it son, you make it."

-------

Thomas dies of broken heart syndrome.

Buck: "....That's love!"

----

And then love being SEEING. "I c u."

The scrabbled letters we've been watching, of falling in love, stupidly, in the closet.

Falling for a friend, not realizing it. Refusing to admit it.

Hiding it, even from yourself. Being afraid to see it. Running from it... The way you really feel about this "buddy".

Their almost instant connection, promising to have each other's backs:

Here's Eddie, having a panic attack at the fire station in the dark due to a power shortage. Looking at Buck as his most current girlfriend, Ana, says this line:

Buck's line about looking good even in bad lighting, the first day they meet.

Now, many of these scenes are from Buck's episode Buck, actually. An obvious reference to the movie Love, actually.

Quote from Love, actually;

"When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know, none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge – they were all messages of love.

If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually... is all around."

---

That scene with the old men, deeply in love, dying together? The one left behind saying love is something you make, together. Saying love is everything. Saying life is short.

..…

Buck and Eddie. Buddie. The ship name really fits them. It's a love story but of "buddies", friends, falling for each other. Confused, scrambled. Playing Scrabble. Refusing to admit it.

Sometimes you fall like that. Sometimes love materializes in the dark, before you're ready for it. It scares you. It avoids your notice. You hide it, even from yourself.

But it's there, waiting to be discovered. A hidden treasure. Something precious to you, buried. And slowly, you open your eyes, see it, without flinching from it. Gather that courage. Even if it scares you... You open your eyes. Because you must. Because love is everything, and life is short.

hi. assigning lana del rey songs to ships.

eremika: how to disappear

from mikasas perspective, so “joe” would be eren. i can’t even begin to explain how perfect this song is for them.

“i know he’s in over his head. but i love that man like nobody can. he moves mountains and pounds them to ground again” I MEAN CMON MAN!?!?

“this is how to disappear, no one’s going anywhere.” post erens death.. SIGGHH i miss them

aruani: when the world was at war we kept dancing

could be from either perspective it doesn’t matter. anyway, i think from the title alone u can see my vision. not elaborating.

eremin: dealer

armins perspective in season 4. now i don’t like to ship them in season 4 (season 1-3 is good) but this is too perfect.

“i gave u all my money, gave u all my money, gave u all my money. i don’t wanna live. i don’t wanna give you nothing, cuz u never give me nothing back. why can’t u be good for something? not one shirt off your back.” must’ve been very draining for armin to d ride eren in season 4.

jeankasa: doin time

jeans perspective. now i don’t ship this cuckold with my majestic queen mikasa HOWEVERRR i can see mikasa settling for him post rumbling. like a “sighh i suppose” instead of an “i do” typa marriage. anyway to the song

“she spreads her lovin all over and when she gets home there’s none left for me.” it’s about how she’s still attached to eren, sure she likes jean. he’s a very good friend. she should love him, he’s her husband/boyfriend/side hoe. but she just can’t get over her love and devotion to eren.

eremika again: did you know that there’s a tunnel under ocean blvd (yes that’s the real name i’m not fucking with u)

erens perspective. the song is about legacy and not being forgotten.

“don’t forget me like the tunnel under ocean blvd.” tunnel under ocean blvd = there’s more to me than what u see on the surface. eren, during the rumbling, couldn’t be understood by anyone. his actions were too.. well.. genocidal. except for mikasa (and armin but this ain’t bout him) she doesn’t forget that there’s more to him than being the devil of paradis.

“open me up. tell me u like it. fuck me to death. love me until i love myself.” CMOONNNNN

reiani: norman fucking rockwell

annie’s perspective when they were in paradis. toxic(ish) reiani my beloved. let’s be real annie doesn’t like him. at all. (ok just a little bit but she won’t admit it) and reiners terrified of her.

“you’re just a man. it’s just what u do. ur head in ur hands as u color me blue” warrior-personality reiner was very toxic, look at marcos death scene.

“goddam man child. u act like a kid even though u stand six foot two.” she just hates him lol

tell me what u think. bout my choices and the songs themselves (jus spreading the gospel. hoping to turn u into a lana fan)

Ahahhaa hiiii xD I needed some time to properly listen to all these lovely songs! And I believe @kensingtonbae would really enjoy these picks, you two love Lana on the same wavelength I think?

"How to Disappear" is really very beautiful, woah! I like the melancholic melody and tune - but it's not overwhelmingly sad somehow, it's... comfortingly sad, if that makes any sense xD Very fitting for Eremika as a whole because post-rumbling she's really the saddest person in the whole story, the only one who didn't get what she wanted. Still, Mikasa continues to love him despite all the destruction and irreversible damage he caused and well, now that sort of ties into "tunnel under ocean blvd" tho? It was her determination to not let go of Eren even at the very end that brought everything to an end finally T^T This song captures that emotion perfectly! *siiiiiiigh* I miss them too :<

Now "Dealer" really fucking hurts T^T Because season 4 Eremin is p a i n f u l as hell. I like to imagine Armin promised Mikasa he'd bring Eren "back" (y'know, from the distance that kept growing between them) but that was easier said than done. Try as he might, Eren would NOT let Armin get close, the way he would've, just some time ago! What changed? Nobody can convince me Armin didn't find this infuriating and incredibly difficult - boy was MAD! Boy was mad and just holding his temper on a light leash... but sometimes, he did snap! Alone! This is the song for those moments - very raw!

"Norman Fucking Rockwell" has those minor-key tunes I really love in any song. I guess it suits a toxic ReiAnnie vibe quite well. Tho it's the lyrics that do it too hahaha xD Manchild sounds like something Annie would call Reiner several times in a single day, welp. Her general frustration with him can't be any higher. They have a difficult relationship - I like this song, I think it suits!

With Jeankasa, I like the ship because it's full of complicated emotions! I do hc Jean has some trouble with easily becoming comfortable in the relationship... it's all very sad #_# The song is nice! It's got this cynical vibe, kinda like this constant undercurrent of emotions in their relationship.

Wrapping up on Aruani as always T^T Great song title for these two hahaha xD Feels like an "Love during the apocalypse" type of song which I suppose it is... in a way. Fits Aruani especially during the high notes - beautiful!

[sepiamestus]

Ray or Emma for character ask game...

just did ray, so Eema!!!!!

My first impression: i remember actually not liking her at first cuz i thought they were gonna make her a ditzy girl stereotype... God eema i am so sorry i would ever disrespect u like that

My impression now: MY LOVE MY LIGHT MY ENTIRE WORLD!!!!!!! Quite possibly my favorite protagonist of all time shes just so good i adore her

Favorite thing about that character: the way shes so steadfast in her optimism and is never made to seem weak because of it. shes not naive, she KNOWS the risks, but she chooses to try anyway because she believes in creating a better world and it just makes her such a compelling character

Least favorite thing: i have nothing bad to say ab eema other than what the anime s2 did to her but we wont go into that

Favorite line/scene: bit cliche, but i love love love her "lets change the world" speech. I think thats the scene that really solidified her as a fave bc shes like. Yeah i fucking know its gonna be hard. I know it might not work. But if im not willing to try to make the world a better place then whats the point of all this. I love her soso much

Favorite interaction that character has with another: RAYRAYRAYRAYYYYY I LOVE THEM SO MUCH MY FAVORITEST MOMENT IN THEWORLD WHEN SHE GRABS HIM AND SAYS YOU DONT GET TO DIE WHILE IM STILL ALIVE AND CARE ABOUT YOU cough cough sorry what was that

A character that I wish that character would interact with more: don!!! I want to see the besties

Another character from another fandom that reminds me of that character: sonic thee hedgehog...............

A headcanon about that character: i think she would like drawing a lot. Post canon especially, she has little remnants of her memories and keeps a notebook of doodles

A song that reminds of that character: EEMA PLAYLIST BE UPON YE!!!!!

An unpopular opinion about that character: if you reduce her to a hyperfeminine love interest for norman i am fucking stealing something from your house!!!!!!

Favorite picture

[blondephil]

hello i am curious about this post-BIG list u mentioned :3 what things have been done already/have yet to be done?

hello!!

okay so first i feel like the context is necessary. dan had been mia for 6 months and he comes back with a big gay masterpiece (phil’s words ofc). and i had a lot a lot of feelings about it (i still do) & i wanted to much to hear more about his perspective & was so excited to just see him exist as a queer person.

a lot of it is stuff that dan did more than both of them but since that initial reaction was to dan — and this list was created in that two weeks before we really heard from phil — that like, makes sense because it’s kinda skewed to things he’d be more likely to do (though if philly’s up for anything he hasn’t done on hear i am down for it)

anyway, the list & some rambling!

“phil vid” meaning, phil coming out, which came shortly after. but like it was kinda unclear at the time if he was gonna post a video or just co-sign dan’s on twitter lmao.

& london pride — i would have loved to see both of them there but in hindsight it was definitely a Dan Moment to do his thing and be out publicly for the first time literally ever.

joint liveshows — yeah. through stereo, no video, but still. kinda encompasses the podcast? that was checked off in response to them both doing a couple — phil did the episode about gay manchester for the bbc (i think?) and dan did a couple post-coming out and for wad. though i would still love a podcast and/or a twitch channel.

panel on sexuality — dan at vidcon. would still loveee to hear phil on something like this but it’s definitely less his vibe

boyfriend tag & engagement vid were written there as like, never gonna happens but at this rate! who knows!! boyfriend tag is vague too it could be like, anything. the newly weds game even (they would win)

drag makeover hasn’t happened per se, i put it on here partly because they have some friends who do drag and i would love to see them do something. i think the closest thing here is sister daniel (for phil it’s like, norman makeup, but that isn’t drag)

and the sims wedding! which is presumably coming in the next twelve days

[missr3n3]

My brain needs to shut up, I'm now associating Peter with the songs: Let Her Go - The Passenger || Circles - Hollywood Undead || Better Than This - Set it Off. They fit so well with his journey ughhhhh

Sooo, let's just say hypothetically, someone were to do a crossover with CDTA + RR, would you allow it?

And finally, hit me with an obscure fact about the cast from CDTA and Rotten Roots!!

Okay, bye now (can you tell that I like sending you random thoughts and questions?)

absolutely! im rly not to picky about how ppl interact with cdta honestly lol. though it would be interesting if the timeline factored into the story, since peter would b in his late 40s and sarah in her early 50s by 2009!

i'll start with rotten roots for obscure facts, n then put cdta's cast under a read more bc it's a lot bigger lol

sarah - she's absolutely atrocious at dancing, since all she ever learned to do was line dances to only the honkiest of tonk country songs 😔

peter - the one thing he actually remembered correctly about sarah's preferences is that she did like it when he wore white. she specifically complimented him on the white suit he wore to the company mixer n that still affects his outfit choices even after the Easter Incident

officer wong - she's the only non-rich member of the peace cult/christmas rejects, and got into the organization due to her connection with law enforcement being beneficial

norman - he hasn't actually told any of the other cult members that he killed his wife/peter's mom for cheating on him, since that's not ~technically~ illegal, and thus not a valid reason for their. thing.

isabelle - she's one of those people who, despite coming from an affluent background, deeply longs to be a part of the counter culture, in her case manifesting as an infatuation with hippie aesthetics. thus her extremely long hair and floral dresses

steve - i think out of everyone in the peace cult (that showed up in the christmas special anyway), he's the most purely sadistic. everyone else can as least somewhat mental gymnastics their way into justifying their cruelty, but steve just thinks hurting ppl is a fun game.

ok cdta facts lightening round:

isaac - though he's no stranger to piercings, he doesn't have any tattoos bc he doesn't think he has the pain tolerance for it

joshua - he named the rabbit plush madeline gave him Lynnie after his mom marilyn, though you couldn't get him to admit this out loud even through torture lol

jessie - she has an orange cat named sunny

madeline - she has a tumblr account and is mutuals with delilah, though neither of them are aware of this since delilah doesn't make her status as a cael devil known online

leah - she originally made the youtube channel that would become red dragon project to make death note youtube poops

sam - he's green-red colorblind

delilah - though she has a tumblr, she's much more active on reddit (because she's constantly getting into petty arguments in the comments lol)

luce - he does have a mouth even though it's only visible sometimes, and when he does open it he has 6 rows of teeth :)

cairyx - his human form alias is caleb stone

elijah - a lot of alcohol was involved the night he got his tribal tattoo

cassandra - she gets name dropped as "editor cassie" in some of elijjah's videos, which has led to her having a little bit of a fanbase of her own

anyway hope u didn't mind another essay response lol. n thank you for the music recommendations!

"Call me as soon as you can, and don't go out at night a-" "f/n I'll be fine" I said cutting her off as tears dressed her cheek. "Okay, I love you y/n" she said before bringing me into another bone crushing hug. "I love you too" I said trying my best to hold back the dam of tears building up. "Flight A-2 is ready to be boarded passengers please head to gate 3" a loud speaker announced, me and F/n broke our hug a tear then slipped its way out of my eye and on to my cheek. "Travel safe" she said holding my hands and I nodded unable to say anything or the dam in my eyes would break.

We said our last goodbyes and turned around going separate ways one step forward and my dam broke tears streaming down my face covering my cheeks, we boarded the plan I sat down and took a deep breath, that was cut short from my phone vibrating. To my surprise it was Chandler

@/chandlerriggs

Not gonna answer huh?

Oh shit, he noticed

@/u/n

I'm so sorry I must have forgotten

@/chandlerriggs

But did you really?

He asked and once again I was left sitting there confused on how or what I was gonna respond with. Was he trying to be confusing?

@chandlerriggs

Leave me on delivered again?

@u/n

I really don't mean to I just boarded my plan so I'm getting settled In

I lied

@/chandlerriggs

Okay?

Huh?

Was I annoying him? Did he not believe me? Did I really just make the coolest person even dislike me? What if we dont get along and they kick me off, what if he hates me, I should leave him alone I doubt he wants to talk to me anyway.

Chandler's pov

I read over her personality chart over and over again. 'She was very shy but a great actor, very soft spoken but not when in character as well as she stayed seemingly very calm throughout the auditions even when the others were arguing and insulting her'

I didn't like shy people, well I don't like A shy person. She used to be on the show that was until her character died but, she was shy and quite but the more I talked to her the more I realized she was awful, she was self obsessed and thought she was better then everyone else as well as say rude things and insult people on set mainly me. "Why didn't anyone show me this sooner" I said frustrated. "Chandler she's a completely different person who knows maybe shes nice" Norman said then got up and walked away. "If she was she wouldn't leave me on delivered" I mumbled back opening our Instagram dms to see that once again I had been left unanswered. I swiped to look at her profile and seen she only had one photo of her face posted it was a photo of her looking up at stars the moon light fitting her face beautifully. I then looked at the captain. 'Hacked by @/f/u/n (friends username) Nerd, but God she's so pretty' I'm guessing that was the friend who took the photo. I wasn't going to lie y/n was really pretty, thats why I picked her (not knowing she was shy ofc) I didn't want Carl dating someone who wasn't a bit attractive, but that doesn't change the fact that I can already see her being a snob

I dislike her at least that's what I will tell myself that way I wont get hurt, not like the last time.

I found myself scrolling through her posts they were mainly of book and braking with an occasional photo of stay cats, she seemed very boring...i once again told myself the more I did the more I would believe it.

CARYL'S LAST EPISODE... (It IS going to be long, beware...) please note that these are only my opinion and the things i felt while watching

----------------

I dont know where to start... i posponed in order to try to gather my thoughts but its hard..

Im not okay. Im not fine. I keep thinking about what we were supposed to have. Them riding off together. Now imagine the same ending scene for them, saying both goodbye to the kids and Ezekiel, with the same beautiful music in the background....

We probably wouldn't have had an I love you then, nor a kiss i believe, but we would've had them leaving together and riding off to their spin off. Which was the plan. Which was the fucking plan. The fucking endgame plan. With or without canon. This is all i could think while watching the scene and hearing the music behind.

I was so caught up in the episode earlier with Rosita and everything happening that it almost took me the time jump to remember that it was the last twd ep ever and that they were going their separate ways at the end, within the next 20 mns or so. Thats when it hit me. Again.

So they were together the whole way this episode, taking care both of Judith, Carol taking care of Daryl, both respectfully giving Magna/Connie/Yumiko/Kelly some space to say goodbye and mourn Luke while trying to save Jude. And while watching over her, they gave each other at some point a beautiful longing look .

She helped him giving his blood, she teared up with relief when Little ass kicker woke up, her hands in her hair.

I loved all that.

Then: bam, action, back to the rest of the episode, fastforward to the end with them locking Pamela up and giving her the same kind of speech Richonne gave when they locked up Negan in the s8 finale. Please. And let's not even go back to Family 11.23, where they ran with Judith in Daryl's arms and Carol clearing the way, just as Richonne with Carl in s6.... Please, again.

But back to Rest in Peace:

Time jump: we have Connie running towards Daryl and my heart shattered a little, thinking "oh no its like Zeke in 9x01, they made them canon post time jump". But no, so huuuuuge relief, cause im not gonna lie and pretend: she did look like a girlfriend running towards her boyfriend in this scene, and that was totally done on purpose i believe. That said, we knew he was leaving and as far as we knew not with Connie so it didnt make sense for me to actually worry i guess ?

And then we see Carol. Short haired. Which i liked. Because if having long hair meant feeling safe enough coz Ed couldnt grab them anymore so no need to cut them short, having short hair again meant, in my opinion: now i feel safe regardless of my haircut, no one's gonna hurt me, Ed is long dead, i can feel safe and relaxed with long OR short hair.

And then we have the goodbye....

I wish you were coming with me. I was torn between screaming "dont we all" and "no shit sherlock".

This is going to be good for you, for me.

Yes. You heard that. To be separated. Good.for.them. Why? How? When? The hell does it mean? I had time to think abt it, and i dont like what i came up with:

"i love u too much and it scares me? We're too fusional? We hurt each other too much lately?? You re better off without me because im not good for u anyway? And to be alone - without u- for a while will allow me some time to heal ?"

After he says goodbye to the kids and zeke, Judith goes, hey, daryl, u deserve happiness too and yes, she seems to look behind, towards Carol but no, im not going to make conclusions out of it even if i love the idea, especially considering what Norman said to Vanity fair abt this line ("if there is any line from the finale that carries over to the spin off , it's that one"). That doesnt look good but i also know not to make a big deal out of what actors say - good or bad, honestly - and at this point i dont wanna care for now, we'll see.

Here's the link for this interview:

Then ... I LOVE YOU

SO... unfortunately, it was said in the same episode than Rosita/Eugene's i love you, and than Magna's " I love you" and "we love you so much" to Luke. So yeah, anyone can see it as platonic if they want to, and put Caryl in the same box as Rosita/Eugene and Luke/his group. It was done on purpose to me.. a la "see? This is the last episode, so this is the episode of the i love yous and do what u want with it"

BUT... the way he said it sounded romantic as hell to me (same as the look he gave her when he answered "yeah..." to her "its a beautiful day to head out"...).

This is her answer/response that bothered me. He said it as a sort of relief for me, like "i finaaaally let it out of my chest", and "i fucking mean it" but she brushed it off, a la "yeah sure pookie dont make fun of me" and to be honest i was almost expecting her to have a "staaaaap" Daryl call back (rofl/tears/idontevenknowanymore). Then she kind of realised he was serious and answered a bit shyly/awkardly i love u too. I was like oh come on!!!! Does she STILL think she's not good enough for his love??

To me he looked disappointed for a nanosecond, and then "oh well", touches her face, they hug, smile, look sad, and off we go. (Yes, maybe it was more Melissa/Norman than Caryl at this point, i dont know).

And then he looks like he wants to say something to her again, and i want to believe it was something like either "u sure u dont want to come ? Please come? " And/ or "i actually love you, you know ? " but eh...

At the end of the day, of course i loved the I love you. For freak's sake, he didnt say it to anyone else in this show, and it is a big deal coming from him, and he said it first. He could have just said: im gonna miss u so much. No, his last words to her were i love you. His last words ever in the main show were to Carol and it was I love you. Of course i screamed with joy regardless of everything.

Ok, to end this dead ass long post, two more things:

Considering everything, im glad Carol's with the kids. Since i like Carick, it gives me hope that maybe, maybe, he could reunite with his kids and Carol (with Rick being forever grateful to her once more), with Daryl - and Michonne of course - being obviously right beside him... since a Rickyl reunion is more than sure at this point, which would lead to a - one can hope- Caryl reunion too...

Also i like the idea of Judith taking care of Carol like Daryl asked. After everything, this is a nice concept. She needs to be taken care of, for once. And if its by the kids, nice touch, since she's taken care of them so much. Plus Carol and Judith being close is all i ever hoped for.

On a lighter note - and please note that it was only a joke to cheer me up, and that i LOVE Ezekiel :

Not my bf saying while watching the caryl goodbye: "look at Zeke being "lets get the fuck out of here kids im not watching this emotional goodbye" while still staying not too far behind to make sure Daryl's actually leaving"

It made me laugh trough my tears, but in all seriousness, Zeke gave them space and i loved him for that, also his hug with Daryl was heartfelt and touching. I want him to find happiness and really move on.

NB: i had a thousand more things to say, but its already way too long...

NB bis: i wish they had brought up the cherokee rose. They were in a beautiful place where there were probably a lot of flowers, he could have taken one and put it in her hair to cheer her up since she was crying and sad. Well, cherokee roses may not be easy to find i dont know... but you know, anything that makes a nice call back to that. Or the acorns. Or the bracelet. Make one last cute joke abt that. For example.

Oh, and have u seen how Maggie asked to see and talk to them both about exploring the world? Since Carol says u want to talk etc. I bet this scene wasnt changed and was in the original way to send caryl into their spin off...

I was wondering about your understanding of the Norman Invasion, and about Normandy in regards to hetalia? The one I usually go with is that Normandy was a separate (maybe younger brother of France?) personification, due to the distinct and unique culture gained from the Nordics, rather than just France himself. I think this creates an interesting dynamic! What are your thoughts?

I've always stuck to canon characters and their make up because otherwise I end up going down a rabbit hole of accuracy and fact checking and 'what constitutes as a nation anyway?' talks with myself ;u;

Normandy is so distinctive in French history and even France today, with its own unique history, dialects and historical impact- it probably should have its own personification in the Hetalia world. But then in that case, so should Yorkshire, or Kent. Or Holland, or Texas, or Sápmi, Quebec... you get the idea haha

In terms of the Normal invasion I assume you're talking about Normandy's invasion of England and the subsequent shift in culture and history that took place and honestly? It's so much. The language impact alone I could write you a linguist essay on (I won't, been there done that). For this area in Hetalia I stick to England and France, Arthur and Francis, only for ease, because Hetalia for me has to have some air of major innacuracy and vague definitions for it to be able to function without driving me insane. That being said I like reading other alternatives, I've said it before and I'll say it ten million more times but I really liked how Moonlighten did this for England in their Feel the Fear series so it can be done and done well, just not by lil old me

Do u have any tips for separating the character from the actor?? I have an unhealthy crush and found out the mans got a girl so my delusional ass is heartbroken LMFAO

Oh dear. I’ve never really had that much of an issue doing so myself so I’m probs not the best person to ask. Ultimately I tend to wait till I jump to the next hyperfixation but the best thing to do is limit how much content of the actual actor you consume. I find myself occasionally skipping edits and anything that’s of the actor and not the character.

I myself don’t generally watch interviews and such I kind of only focus on the characters. It’s easier if they’ve got multiple roles such as Aemond and Osferth who are both so different. It makes it easier to remind yourself that while the actor is attractive it’s not actually them that you like, it’s the character.

Whereas Norman Reedus has such a big interview/social media presence it’s very hard to ignore seeing 😭😭. The best thing I find is to limit the content of the actor you consume/actively try and find something else to gain an interest in. Maybe revisit an old fandom and see what new content is there.

You don’t know the actor. Don’t know what they’re like behind closed doors, might not know what their true political opinions and whether or not they’re secretly sexist. You don’t know if they let the dishes pile up or don’t clean mould from the shower. They could be the type of person to cheat on a spouse or secretly be transphobic. There’s nothing wrong with having a crush on someone for their looks/perceived media presence but admitting to yourself that you don’t know them is always a good start.

You’ve alone gotta face up to reality. As much as we’re all delusional gworls here. You gotta admit that even if you ever meet them, it’s not gonna be a wattpad moment.

I’m notoriously bad for gaining crushes immediately and then jumping ship but I find a fun thing to do is go on hinge/tinder whatever else and just start talking to people. It can be very fun if you don’t go in looking for something serious and you might get a few dates out of it.

But honestly you gotta remind yourself celebrity crushes are completely normal and it will probably fade by itself over time.

But if worst comes to worst just picture them doing something that really gives you the ick. One that always works for me is imagining them dropping something but when they go to pick it up it rolls away and they have to chase it 🫡🫡.

Anyway I’m probs not the best person to ask but I’m super glad you did. Always feel free to jump in my inbox with anything 💜

In defense of TOtK’s $70 price. (Mostly)

I don’t think I actually need to say anything about this but I have the thoughts and I want to get them out.

Sony said that their PS5 games will be $70 because “video games cost too much to make these days,” but we know that this claim is bullshit because the same games on the PS4 are $60 and they get upgraded to the PS5 version when played on a PS5 system.

The newest Zelda game is going to be sold for $70 because it’s “higher quality” than any of Nintendo’s other games. This could easily just be their excuse because they know that people will buy the game regardless. The thing is, I believe them, and I will continue to believe them unless I see otherwise.

Nintendo made it very clear that this price tag will only be applied to huge projects like Tears Of The Kingdom.Games that are releasing after this game, are still $60.

Breath Of The Wild, though lacking in it’s story, was a huge video game in every other sense of the word. And that game was a launch title for the Switch as well as being made with the Wii U in mind. It’d make sense for them to go harder with Tears Of The Kingdom without the last gen to weigh them down. I 100% believe that it will deliver. (Though I also have a bias towards Zelda games, being my favorite franchise and all.)

With that said, I am annoyed when they justify the price tag because it costed them too much to make or whatever. I do believe them, but the easiest solution to that is to not make it so expensive to make.

Death Stranding for example had Monster Energy drinks because Kojima kept on spending money on huge celebrities to be in the game. He did not need to have Conan O’Brian have a cameo. He did not need Norman Reedus to play the main character. (Though I believe that he did an excellent job, I would’ve preferred it if it wasn’t somebody who’s face I recognized.) If that game was $70 because “it was too expensive to make,” I would’ve been annoyed because that’s why!

But because it’s Nintendo, I don’t expect unnecessary things to bring the price of the development up like bringing in Keanu Reeves into the game. The biggest celebrity that could be in the game is Matt Mercer. Who does a lot of voice acting in anime and video games anyway. And this is only a rumor. (Ganon’s voice actor hasn’t been confirmed yet, but people are saying that he sounds like Matt Mercer. Because he does.)

If anything, if the production of the game really did go too high, it’s probably because they weren’t paying attention to the money they were putting into the game until it was too late.

[sakura-chan-25]

I wanted to do a quote on Norman actually saying I love you to someone for the first time {platonic obvi!!}

Anyways of course it’s the trio {also still calling sakuras brother, red!! I swear to god I’ll send u names right after thiS U NEED A NAME FOR HIM}

Red: “Bunny, you good? You’ve barely said a word.”

Melody: “I think he’s just zoned out.. like really zoned out!”

Red: “he could be!” Norman turning to face him “or maybe not.”

Norman: “…I..”

Red: “youu?..”

Norman: “…Love you..”

Red: “Did you just say ‘I love you’ for the first time?… Well.. I love you to!”

Melody: “what about my I love you??”

Norman: “…”

Red: “HAH. I’m clearly his favorite”

Melody absolutely heart broken 😭😭

but maybe sooner or later he’ll get used to say I love you?? 👀👀 spoiler alert he does

(I KNOW I NEED A NAME FOR HIM, I'M UNCREATIVE AND I CAN'T FIND ANY I LIKE! I'M SORRY😭😂)

That "HAH" sounded really personal in my head right now😂

[clockworksteel]

Today I saw a post about writing the name of your blog with the first letters of song titles and that sounded fun. The rules are to do it in a new post and you’re also supposed to tag people or something but I’m not doing that.

As additional personal rules I didn't use the same source twice and only used things if I could remember at least some of what they sounded like. I did look up lists of songs I thought I'd be familiar with though (eg, looking up the Bastion soundtrack to remind myself what titles were in there). Also I decided not to use any songs starting with A or The because I didn't feel like making a call on whether they could be skipped and they didn't start with K anyway.

Round brackets (parenthesis) in the artist half of the song list indicate names of video games. For over half of them I had to look up the actual people. Also, even if it's not from the game I put it there if there's a specific game with the song in it that I strongly associate with the song.

Square brackets indicate whatever I want them to indicate.

C - "Can You Really Call This A Hotel, I Didn't Receive A Mint On My Pillow Or Anything" - Toby Fox (Undertale) L - "Leave Me Alone" - I Don't Know How But They Found Me O - "Organ Donor" - DJ Shadow C - "Curses" - The Crane Wives K - "Konga Conga Kappa" - Danny Baranowsky (Crypt of the Necrodancer) W - "Wow Wow" - Neil Cicierega O - "Ode to a Superhero" - "Weird Al" Yankovic ["Piano Man" - Billy Joel] R - "Robot Overdrive" - Takeharu Ishimoto (Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory) [I haven't seen Big Hero 6] K - "Kirby: Right Back At Ya! Theme Song" - Norman J. Grossfeld and Ralph Schuckett (Donkey Konga) S - "Senbonzakura" - Kurousa-P feat Hatsune Miku (Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX) T - "Terminal March" - Darren Korb (Bastion) E - "E" - Drunkenmunky E - "Everybody to the Limit (Live)" - The Brothers Chaps and Y-O-U [Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits] L - "Locked Girl" - COOL&CREATE [Remix of "Locked Girl ~ The Secret Girl's Room" and "Love-colored Master Spark", by ZUN (Touhou Series)]

Finding two K songs was a struggle. Like, why is the famous Flowering Knight remix called "Night of Knights / Knight of Nights" instead of the other order? I could've really used that one. My "know what it sounds like" rule blocked the use of Kairi from Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory, Knight to C Sharp from Crypt of the Necrodancer, Knight Man Stage from Megaman 6, and Killing in the Name Of from Guitar Hero 2 (yes, I know it's not "from Guitar Hero 2", but that’s why I’m familiar with it). I guess I used another Crypt of the Necrodancer song for the other K so forgetting Knight to C Sharp didn't make a difference.

Honorable mentions to "Twister" - Takeharu Ishimoto (The World Ends With You), "Setting Sail, Going Home" - Darren Korb (Bastion), and "Wellerman" - The Longest Johns. Also, earlier versions of this list included "Canon in D" - Pachabel and "Roundabout" - Yes, but I wanted to stick with somewhat shorter songs in case I felt like putting together a Youtube playlist so I could put it on and listen to the whole thing or something. I like it when individual songs don't steal the whole show. I'd consider skipping the Kirby theme song if I did put it together as well.

Somewhat amusingly, I notice that I don't know what anything sounds like in the list of the person I copied this from (notahorseindisguise). I've maybe heard New Invention once, but from that group I pretty much only listen to "Leave Me Alone" and "Do It All The Time" and I don't remember any other songs. I'd probably like others but I don't have much of a habit of actively seeking new music.

...in fact, looking over everyone else's answers in the post I linked, I think there are only 3 songs I recognize as something I've heard, total. "Dragula", "YMCA" (although not specifically as played by their pep band), and maybe "Everybody Talks" (literally the words "Everybody talks, everybody talks, everybody talks" come to mind sung a specific way, but I have no memory of what the rest is like). Also, why so many in one thread? Did I maybe misinterpret the rules when they said "Make a new post"?
