merl mei qi gets better with every appearance

The V3 Survivors Mirror Image Danganronpa's Previous Game Protags. Here's Why
Idk if this was intentional or a happy accident on behalf of the crew behind V3, but in replaying that final trial once again, a few distinct points about each of the 3 survivors stuck out to me as being very reminiscent of their predecessors- Shuichi with Makoto, Maki with Hajime/Izuru, and Himiko with Komaru. So I wanted to yap about it a little bit, because that's just so cool to me, and v3 has always had my fav surviving cast anyway so this just makes them a million times better
Shuichi -> Makoto
Shuichi, first and foremost, grows into the protagonist role during chapter 1, in which he's believed to be the killer for most of the trial and the player has to prove his innocence. This is a direct parallel to Makoto, and it's not difficult to see. In addition, the one who made it look like he was guilty was the one musical girl he'd gotten attached to in the early game, and it was her plan failing and being revealed that led to his proved innocence, similar to that of Sayaka's failed murder plan.
At the end of the game as well, though, he's the one who gets the rest of the cast one by one to reject the game and choose to end the cycle, rather than vote the way that the mastermind wants. This is a deliberate deviation from Makoto, defined by K1-B0's presence acting as the SHSL Hope Robot, and that's just as important to note, because the V3 survivors are mirror images and grow in a similar but reverse imaged way to their predecessors. Where Makoto chose to become hope no matter what, Shuichi chose compassion no matter what, and broke the system entirely by appealing to the outside world, rather than acting in spite of its despair.
Maki -> Hajime
Maki starts the game in a position similar to Izuru. Playing her backstory especially assists this, but she's living a life inherently disconnected from her peers because of what she was made into by the people in power over her. Like Hajime, she was approached while in a vulnerable state to be remade into something new and dangerous that the system she was raised within could use. She accepted this offer and became an assassin for the sake of someone she loved- a childhood friend that cared deeply about the others in their orphanage and protected them over herself. This has a lot of interesting similarities to Hajime's agreeing to become Izuru for the sake of Chiaki in DR3, but the distinction here is that the childhood friend was the one being targeted. Maki taking on the role of assassin was her choosing to shoulder the burden knowingly rather than being tricked into it, but still for the sake of sometime that ended up dying to save another orphan, like how Chiaki died trying to save her teacher and classmates.
Maki's arc is also the immediate inverse of Hajime's, to a tragic degree. Whereas Hajime's arc ends in him losing to choose himself and refusing to back down and sacrifice either his memories of freedom, Maki's arc is in learning to open her heart to others and thus, in the V3 final trial, her arc projects into her choosing to be the sacrifice so that Shuichi and Himiko can escape the game. Rather than break the cycle like Hajime does, she chooses to be an active participant in it, and become the next SHSL Survivor. Were it not for Shuichi's deduction, this would have been the outcome, and she would've entered a new game with no memory of her previous identity, mirroring how Hajime entered the sdr2 game as its mastermind without knowing he set this up for himself.
Himiko -> Komaru
This was actually the character that made this whole mirroring thing stick out to me, despite being perhaps the least obvious of the 3. It started with just me seeing the back of her head in the epilogue and going "haha that's funny, she has the same fuckass bob as Komaru lol :)" but then I kept thinking about it and more mirrored traits between Komaru and Himiko started to stick out to me.
Himiko and Komaru both have a character arc that primarily centers on expressing their emotions. For Komaru, she does nothing but cry for the first couple chapters, only barely surviving with the help of Toko and Syo, and is a total open book. She's easily excitable, way too trusting, and all-around joyful when she's not under immediate fire. Himiko is the exact opposite, being totally closed off from her emotions and writing off any and all efforts as 'just a pain' out of a depressed laziness. Similarly to Komaru, however, she's pulled through this and helped to grow with her two female "friends" with very differing beliefs- Angie and Tenko. Both Komaru's and Himiko's relationships with these women inspire them to face what they fear with more emotional strength, and bring them to the conclusion that, regardless of how it hurts them, they owe it to their "friends" to try. Komaru chooses to stay in Towa City, and Himiko chooses to help in the trials from here on out. While both these girls start on opposite ends of emotional imbalance, they both get brought to a point of stability through their love of their fellow girls. Yuri stays on top. Anyways
This is more of a meta point as well, but both Komaru and Himiko are the most underrated of their respective groups. Komaru isn't nearly as popular of a protagonist as Makoto and Hajime, and Himiko is the least popular of the V3 survivors in comparison to Shuichi and Maki. This makes sense; she's not as focused on as Shuichi and Maki were(for obvious reasons), and while I doubt that was intentional, it is another funny little connection that's there.
Anyways, that's kind of it. Idk if any of this rambling makes sense, but I saw it and thought it was cool so I had to share :D

Lydia looks so smug when Betelgeuse is about to have Rory killed, like she's thinking "this is what my man is willing to do for me, bitch" 😆 And yet she's afraid of him? Nah, that's her excuse to push Beej away. Anyone familiar with romance arc structure? Looking at it specifically through the Romancing the Beat structure, I feel like, if applied to BJBJ, the story left Lydia in the "Retreating from love" beat. I'll have to review the beat sheet and rewatch the movie with romance arc structure in mind to make sure, but I think she made her fear-based choice to reject love in BJBJ by banishing Betelgeuse.
Not saying that BJ3 will start with her Dark Night of the Soul (though she did look sad or one could say regretful after banishing him. She's looking at the floor with a furrowed brow, like she's conflicted). BJ3 might retrace earlier beats more solidly, or go into the beats BJBJ might have skipped, because this is a romance arc in a horror-comedy, so it wouldn't follow a traditional romance structure, I guess (they might also write in a romance arc intentionally in BJ3, if they didn't already write in the romance arc intentionally in this one. Personally I think they so did. lol I get the vibe Burton and co wanted to plant the idea in this movie and end the series with the two of them together. They're testing the waters, basically).
//EDIT: ACTUALLY they might still be in either the Set up or the Falling in Love's "No way" beat, in which Lydia has pretty much stated why she's not falling in love (she didn't say it literally, of course, just her actions lol), and specifically NOT with Betelgeuse (this one she did verbalize, as I'll write bellow. Things she said about him: he's a stalker, a trickster demon, "bad things will happen" if he's here, etc). They might have been entering the Falling in Love part of the arc, and yet I think the story took her right to the Retreating from Love beat at the end, because she did banish him. But he's still around, so they might still be here at the Set up or Falling in love parts of the arc? 👀 Anyway, I'll break it down eventually and write a romance arc beat sheet for them.//
This is how Lydia's rationalizing her fear-based rejection of love: "He's literally evil and will use me and leave me". And "there's an age gap, it wouldn't have worked out between us anyway". She's protecting her heart from being hurt again. The fear of him leaving might come from her past relationships failing; one could even bring up how Richard left her to go on his Amazon adventure, when their relationship failed. Then Richard ended up dying in that trip and left her forever (because she can't even see his ghost). Then her mention of the age gap, that might have just been her looking for the easiest way out, to reject him without even trying to give him a chance after seeing that he might not be that bad after all.
Anyway, I'll rewatch the movie and create a romance arc beat sheet for these two. Just because I'm a nerd and it'll be fun. 😂 I'll see how many romance story beats were actually used and how many we have yet to go into with these two until endgame.
If there is a romance arc between them in BJBJ, then it's incomplete. Which means BJ3 will complete it, but I gotta push my hopes down. Let's not get our hopes up, but STILL I can't unsee what is there to see. lol

Explaining some stuff
Vent
(Reading this part isn't really necessary and you can skip it)
So, I don't really do these things cause I'm not really a big fan getting into too much personal shit but I really needed to get this out
I genuinely feel like my irl mom is losing hope in me, I'm not getting any better with my studies, school is hell, my classmates aren't any good either.
I just feel like going into a deeper spiral of my depression, I'm in need of therapy but I think my parents will say I don't need it since I'm normal lmao. Still undiagnosed with ADHD and autism, probably dyslexic as well yayyy
But seriously, I don't really know how to continue much more, the only reason why I'm still here is because of my online friends and my literal fear of dying and maybe getting sent to hell
My current gender dysphoria is also very much not helping alongside a break up (which I did cause but I'm more worried for her than for myself) I don't really know man
Trying to focus on school is hard enough but the way my mom is so disappointed and maybe losing hope might just drive me insane, she said she'll pull me back if I fail the next quarter which hopefully not
I know she's struggling too, I'm basically useless in my own house, I barely do anything, I don't help, I'm a burden to them
Break
Will I take a break? I'm still unsure and debating on that, I wanna but then again, the internet is a second home to me, it's where I can be free, it's my escape, it's one of the things that make me happy especially with my online family
I do hope I get better, especially with the people supporting me (which I'll be honest, mostly online strangers lmaoo) either way. I'm glad I haven't ended my story just yet, I know there's gonna be more. Good or bad, I'll probably just keep fighting knowing there's people who love me despite not even knowing me that much
Appreciation and Special thanks to
@marycom15 they're basically my mom, in which I was the one to say that but eh, I love them a whole bunch and supported me through quite a lot of stuff, super silly despite calling me out on a lot of things, like stop that/silly knows me a little too well
@iamineskew funniest person I've met, my father (albeit I didn't want/silly, love you/pp) wouldn't stop flirting with my mom in front of me but I'm actually fine, I love them a whole bunch, such great art too! I'm super inspired by all his works
@boothefanficeater my best friend ever!! We don't talk a lot because he isn't online as much lol, I consider him my super best friend anyway, literally the one that made me what I've become (cough.the Prokour CEO cough) they also have lovely art, I wanna eat it
@wimdywhimsy just a cool person in general, supports literally everything I do, all of the things they do is amazing, I love ALL of their ideas they bring on the table, my sibling ever
@canadianketchup is literally almost always the first person to interact with whatever I do, I love interacting with them, I wanna do it more but I'm a little shy giggles
@sundewhasaudhd one of the BEST people I've ever met on the dsmp space,I love them sm, they're just so passionate with everything they do and it's just so admirable, they're not afraid to socialize and bring up their interests it makes me so happy
(I almost forgot to mention aahhhhh)
@theshadeblindcolor a newer addition to my little family but I love them either way, such a cool person with cool art! I love everything they do, their aus are so sick I wanna read more about them and to some more fanart
And shout out to all my old moots too on previous account, all such lovely people I couldn't have it any other way, especially my ava/m family @izzyindahouse @the-ace-of-spadez @flairya @mary-games-and-arts
I'm so happy I met all you guys, I'm glad to be a part of even the small portions of your lives and I'm super happy you are all a part of mine<3

Halloween Headcanons (Months early lol)
My last post was such a flop I heard the crickets chirping before I even got on tumblr omg
Since nobody is giving me ideas, I'm just gonna do short n sweet headcanons on one (at least) character from each of the fandoms I'm in... Or at least the ones I can remember. Idk why but I can't wait until spooky month so we're doing Halloween-themed HCs!!!!!! I frickin' love the holidays :D
I won't be using images in my post this time just because I'm like half asleep and I need to yap. (I have no energy and I must yap /ref)
First up, Jason Todd! (Batman)
I think he'd avoid dressing up for trick or treating because his fave is Wonder Woman... Bro's not about to traumatize every child that sees him. However, if he is craving candy hard enough, he'd go in a lazier or goofy costume. You know those unicorn onesies? That's for if he isn't in the mood for ghits and shiggles. An inflatable dinosaur costume is his go-to if he's in a better mood.
I bet he'd have everything planned, too. He knows where all the rich people are and which ones give out the full-sized candy bars or any cool light up toys that make little kids jealous because they have no idea where to find them at.
If he were to go trick or treating with anyone, I think it'd probably be the Batfam as a whole (They don't trust him with not stealing some kid's candy bucket).
Next, Touya Todoroki! (MHA)
This is an AU one where he isn't dying because I don't want him to die (Insert sob emoji).
Since Enji himself is in a wheelchair, he isn't able to push Touya around. He was absolutely devastated by that and begged Natsuo and Fuyumi to take their older brother out to trick or treat since Shoto was with his friends.
Touya would either do a costume to heal his inner child or a lazier one that's comfortable and doesn't irritate his skin. Either way, he's demanding that they go to every house around no matter how long it takes. Any time he gets candy he doesn't like, he asks Natsuo to trade with him LOL
At the end of the night, Enji has to lock away the candy so Touya doesn't scarf it all down and get a stomach ache. He does anyway since it was 'hidden' in the same spot it had always been.
Onto Arlan! (HSR)
My boy doesn't get enough love <3
I think his excitement after hearing about Halloween's existence would be enough to convince the spaceship to set up little stalls for him, Asta, MC, and Peppy to run around to collect candy. He and Asta would probably have matching costumes like ketchup and mustard bottles or pb and j or something cute like that. Or it'd be a three-way deal since Asta would dress Peppy up in some cute little costume.
Arlan would definitely sit on the floor with Asta and MC and trade candies so they each get what they wanted. Asta would have some dog treats for Peppy so they weren't left out :)
At the night's end, Arlan would probably be caught falling asleep, still in costume with a half-eaten candy bar in hand.
Now, Bennett! (Genshin Impact)
He, Razor, Chongyun, and XIngqiu would get together and go out trick or treating. He tried to convince Fischl to go with, but she refused, claiming it was far too childish for someone of her status. That meant "Please bring me back some sweets".
He had a bag specifically for Fischl :)
As the night went on, the boys managed to have good luck. Bennett had never been happier since he was internally horrified of ruining the others' night by only getting raisins, toothbrushes, and apples or having someone's bag rip.
All went well and everyone got a pretty good amount of candy. Even Fischl.
Yap session is done! I kinda wanted to do DMCB stuff or Steven Universe stuff, but my creativity juice ran out. I hope y'all liked this one :D I'll probably do another one when it's actually October. (evaporates I FORGOT JJK oh well)
Have a great day, evening, and/or night everyone :DDDD

Hi!!!!! I noticed your host!Amelia doodles and i thought it was SO cool and just wanted to know if you had any more info abt it?????? sorry to bothhher
Hi ♡ thank you for finding interest in it. I dont mind asks at all so dont even worry about that either... onto the actual question. Ill be real, most of my ideas for that au arent planned because the idea of it wasnt planned either. ...it came out of me playing tomadachi life. . . I can just recount everything so it makes more sense maybe
Tumblr media
Scenty doesn't make them do challenges she keeps them on the plane to live life like theyre bugs and basically finds joy in being able to watch them and maintain control while also craving more interaction from other people. this ultimately means that no one gets eliminated and no one is in any real danger. however, Charlotte is literally dying from the mold and ends up . yknow, dying. Freaking Scenty out because one she didn't expect it and two since she had never killed anyone during their stay in the plane she never learns the respawn command making it even more of a disaster to her mental state lol
Ok so this is where things get fuzzy im not to sure how charlotte does it BUT SHES ABLE TO NAVIGATE THE RADIO (maybe another stone is there in the waiting room idk let me have this) and ultimately is able to arrive back at earth. Parker runs into her they have a whole back and forth, Charlotte is avoiding him with her mixed feelings while Parker wants them to have some sort of communication because hes equally as worried for her as he is frustrated. Im pretty sure i planned for them to investigate the whole plane and maybe even more about Scenty (without knowing its the unknown 'deity' who trapped her and the others.) Charlotte concluded she has to stop Scenty by going back which . means she has to kill herself. Which Parker is immediately against and they have their second big fight but it ends with Charlotte dying anyway.
anyway SOMEHOW Charlotte is able to go to Scentys world and wow she finds out shes a normal person who just decided to fuck around and find out i guess. Scenty is immediately overwhelmed with joy because wow Charlottes here and shes alive! And shes. not a murderer, hah. But Charlotte is pissed so they definitely have a very funny bonding moment where Charlotte has to suppress the urge to kill this naive and too overbearing candle. While trying to figure out how to stop what she's doing with everyone else.
..and yeah, the ending is basically undecided because i had planned for either one of them to die.. OR BOTH who knows really but i still dunno either way so there's that. I hope you enjoyed my long spiel cause this might be what you get for a while lol and if none of this makes sense, then sorry, but i literally can not construct anything comprehensible in my current state LOL

TBB S3 Ep 5 Thoughts!!
Love Omega’s new outfit
Batcher hanging out with Cross then, I see
Cross is like the dad who continuesly goes “NO PET” and then when you do get a pet they’re suddenly besties
“ITS ECHO” “perfect”
Ah, the duality of man
Love how there’s no end to this dynamic
“What? No hug for me?” “That depends how good your intel is.”
LOVE Echo matching Cross’s causal sass
These two are gonna push against each other a lot huh?
Yanno, given all the promo material, I was kinda expecting Rex to be with Echo when he arrived (hoping phi, the word is hoping.) (she’s delulu.)
“Especially without Tech” 😭😭😭😭
No surprise reactions from Cross through. Means he already knows.
But also, Cross coming in with the solve <3
Is Hunter,,,, JEALOUS??? of the fact that Omega is spending so much time with Cross? Like that SIDEYE when they walked past each other on the platform
Like, God forbid Omega spent time with the member of the squad who everybody is always suspicious of and spends the most time alone
BUT ALSO!!!
“Don’t hold it against him. His only worried about you.” CROSS YOU BIG ‘OL SOFTY!!!
“I’m older than you are, little brother.”
THE CHUCKLE
AND WRECKER GIVING BACK CROSS’S ARMOUR AAAAAAAHHHH
oooohhh the girls are fighting
“Hey, kill each other later.” SIR THE WAY I CACKLED BYE ✋🏻
“He started it.” Sir, are you 5?
MAYDAY’S HELMET
Echo not wanting Omega to see the straight up Bitch fight between Hunter and Cross
TELL HIM CROSSHAIR!!!!!
Jesus Christ, fucking finally
I wrote a post at some point about Cross becoming the mirror held up to Hunter in which he can view his own shortcomings because of his adamant refusal to change AND ITS HAPPENING
“I risked everything to send you that message and you ignored it.” THIS
Hunter’s mistrust in Cross played a big part in Omega getting captured, but also ofc Cross thinks the message was fully ignored, because no one came to save him either
Also Cross just not hiding anymore that he’s always cared for Omega too I LOVE
Love how quick they put that plan together
Batch is Batching :) (almost) (Tech, my love, come back)
“We’ll try to dig through.” “You’ll try?” “Glad you heard me properly.” I AM WHEEZING
Cross patting Batcher
BIG ‘OL SOFTY
Say did Hunter abandon the bandana for a god damn leather strap
wtf
Cross and Hunter walking back to base side by side, when the last time Cross was walking back to this base was with Mayday dying in his arms🥺
Wrecker hugging them both
AAAAAHHH
“See? They always work it out. And I don’t even see any blood this time.”
EXCUSE ME??
i am worried.
Blood??
Was typical??
Jesus Christ
Don’t know how much I appreciate Hunter getting on a high horse and giving Cross advice
Bird flying away from Cross After always being with him on that base, like the shadows of his past leaving his life, now that this period of his life is over (also sun setting, signifying the day is over)
Good symbolism yes
Okokok good episode! Tbh I thought “The Return” would be Echo’s permanent return to the Batch, but narratively that wouldn’t’ve made sense for him anyway. And I am LOVING the fact that it is actually Crosshair’s return to the turning point in his life, followed by his full return to the batch. Like yeah, last ep they re-met, but he hadn’t fully arrived until the end of this episode and GAAAAHHH I love it!
Also the dialogue is just totally A1 chefs kiss mwah this season (or maybe I just appreciate sarcasm)
Loved this one!! Would love to tag Saturn and Steph because I wanna see their thoughts of Echo being back but idk if they’ve seen the ep already and I don’t wanna spoil them so,,, idk guys if you see this hmu lol

Hello! For Writing Wednesday could we please have some more Spoils of War or Created for Death? I’m obsessed with both of these to an insane degree:
What I love about SoW: tentative!Alec whom Magnus has to work at gaining trust from? I love it. There’s a line in one part about Magnus having to fix how the Clave broke Alec before Magnus can gentle him and I just—gorgeous, perfect, headcannon accepted. Veiled consorts? Hooooooly that’s so cool omg I swear I heard a symphony in my head when I realized where you were going. The mask? Alec’s hesitance and obedience, thinking everything is out to hurt him but doing it anyway because what choice does he have, is so beautiful, and Magnus mourning a little that he didn’t have more time to make the experience better for Alec but not willing to risk the delay and risk Alec growing even more distant is just 😍—lmao I could write an essay about how much I love this universe.
CoD: I fucking love eldritch angel nephilim and this is giving EVERYTHING. Nephilim who are cobbled together projects of the angels, their biology so skewed by angelic power that even the nephilim don’t know what their children will look like/heal like/die like. Mostly the difference being subtle, but sometimes Not. Raised to hate and fear their full potential, anything that is Too Angelic, and Alec a living hearsay/blasphemy even when his blood was only 30/70 because if it. AND THEN. It’s not losing Jace that tips Alec over, it’s Magnus dying—demon-born prince/king of edom enemy of the Clave. So gorgeous, holllyyyy. I can’t even think too much about Magnus collaring 6-winged Alec, about Alec kneeling for him, about the terrible kindness and protection in Izzy disowning her brother, about the gentleness of Magnus hiding Alec away and covering his eyes and hushing him because even the ANGELS wouldn’t know what to do in this situation, with this new body, and then Team Immortal coming in and IMMORTALITY and wow
Anyway yeah sorry for spitting up my lovestruck brain in your asks but I had to make sure that you knew you’ve struck me deeply with your writing and that’s why I’m begging on your doorsteps for literally any content in either one of these verses 💜
i'm very glad both stories are being enjoyed so much and please don't apologize i love stuff like this! it's a huge compliment but also it's just really nice to see that other people are as into and obsessed with my verses as i am. because sometimes i wait for my sleep meds to kick in and i just plot where i'm going and end up passing out in the middle of a mental scene being written lol
so i wrote a thing for spoils of war and thank you! i'm glad it was enjoyed because i have this big headcanon about how consorts are really magically important to warlocks and magical kings if dominion magic is in the fic and a big thing about that is protecting the consorts identity. via masks but also cloaking the consort in so much magic that you can't even tell anything abut them besides what the warlock allows you to know. and there is a lot of history thats hinted at
-
for created for death
izzy was fucked up about that, okay. but she had to relinquish alec as a brother because otherwise the clave still had ties to him. since they don't need them anymore, the clave sort of doesn't let true nephilim have any rights. so alec had to be disowned as a nephilim and then magnus was basically like 'okay but my magic is on him so hes mine since i calmed him down' and izzy was like 'he totally counts as a weapon. yours now. because thats the safest thing for alec atm
so alec is actually 70/30 and most nephilm are 30/70 in a angelic/mundane equation. which is why he was being kept watch over by the clave but uh, the fear of magnus dying kinda made him lose it
i hope you enjoy this!
<3 lumine
spoils of war
Alec doesn’t know what’s going on.
Magnus didn’t bother explaining what the ritual was or what it did beyond that it was yet another bonding ceremony. But even their political wedding that signified the end of a war didn’t feel this elaborate.
Alec knows it doesn’t really matter, that he’ll be taking part in the ritual whether he knows what it does or not. In fact, it's almost better not to know than to know what he might need to do.
Alec can’t say no to whatever is going to happen and he knows that, so he takes comfort in the fact that he can still see. The mask has magic in and through it and Alec tries not to consider where it’s from and why he can feel nephil magic still fading from it.
Instead, he concentrates on Magnus and his magic and puts out the thoughts and details of his surroundings, like being watched by over a thousand warlocks and their companions, all hidden with their faces hidden behind a variety of masks.
It’s daunting to be here, to be taking part in something that feels so old and sacred when Alec was supposed to be no more than chattel. Fodder for a war built on the blood of innocents that Alec’s own people started.  It feels wrong to be here so defenseless and yet know that Magnus’ magic will protect him better than any weapon.
Carefully, Magnus uses magic to take off Alexander’s ceremonial collar and he instead replaces it with a loop of pure magic that will slowly take on more and more power until the image of it will always become whatever Magnus wishes it to be.
For now, however, it is a tight loop of deep purple magic that pulses with Magnus’ magic and power in time to Alexander's every breath.
It’s a show of power to summon a single adamas arrow — one that Alexander gave to Magnus by his own hand — and hold it without harm. Alexander sucks in a startled breath — perhaps at the sight of one of his own arrows or that Magnus can hold it with ease — and Magnus can feel him quiver under Magnus’ palm.
“My protection is absolute. When you bleed it will be because I wish it, for no other is allowed to spill your blood.” Magnus uses the arrowhead to nick Alexander’s upper lip — just as he cut the lower with the stele — and then he leans forward to lick it off and suckle the cut until he earns a whine of pain.
“The flames of Edom will devour all before allowing anyone to touch you without my permission.” Magnus promises and his fingers dance with flames that brush harmlessly over Alexander’s neck — the shard of Magnus’ soul claiming Alexander in an undeniable way that will protect him from harm in Edom.
Alexander seems torn between leaning forward and stepping away and Magnus knows his boy better now than he did when they were wed. Alexander needs no leash as Magnus first thought, just a steady hand and Magnus’ voice.
The bonds between them are the only tether Magnus will ever need with Alexander.
“Sweetheart—” Magnus teases, his voice caressing Alexander with magic and he can see how his boy shudders at the sound and feel of it. He steps forward unconsciously, he's been instinctively drawn to Magnus from the very beginning and Magnus croons and reaches out. His palm blooms with hellfire before settling on Alexander’s hip and Magnus pulls him closer still.
“Should any look at you without being graced by my benevolence, their sight shall be consumed by my magic. A payment for stealing a glimpse of what is only mine to see.”
Magnus’ vows are instinctive and there is a primal surge of delight as he takes the ritual a step further, cursing any being who would dare look at Alexander’s uncovered face without his blessing.
It’s an old tradition.
Older still than the ritual Magnus is using and it’s something that has been out of style for over three centuries. Magnus still remembers the stories of how the legend of Medusa started. A warlock desperate to protect her gorgeous consort cursed her love with a vicious, loving protection.
Magnus knows now that Alexander expects to be a spectacle.
A disgraced nephilim in the eyes of his own people, traded away for a peace bought with his soul and virginity. Alexander expected to be paraded around as a mockery, a whipping boy for the clave to offer to the warlocks and it’s clear that’s what the clave told him he was.
But Alexander is not something to be gawked at.
He is not someone who Magnus will allow others to see, not to admire and certainly not to laugh over. Alexander is his consort and if that means that Magnus veils him in magic and curses all those who dare look upon him, then so be it.

something i've noticed about the difference between good omens and doctor who fandoms rn is that the good omens people are either making funny art or coming up with increasingly unfeasible theories about supposed 'hidden messages' in the show and generally being weird about it going out of their way to say they LOVE EVERYTHING about the show, and the doctor who people are like. damn this sucks.. unfortunately it's also really compelling. oh well <3
like idk the good omens people (generalising here of course) seem incredibly strung up on what Could Be Meaningful and making wayyyyy to much of a big deal out of minor details. and like the show is clever! there are secondary levels of meaning! but not everything is or should be. not everything is a metaphor. continuity errors exist. and the doctor who people (even new fans) are still yknow eating drywall over it but are also like HAHAHAHthat bit was awful. anyways its also incredibly thematically relevant to these other episodes so it's very important you watch it lol.
and i think the difference is that good omens is twelve episodes. just twelve. there's the book of course, which is a different angle than the show, there's the radio version etc. but there's only so much story. and a lot of the version are the plot of the book in different formats. whereas doctor who goes on forever and ever and ever and there will always be more content. so the good omens people are overanalysing the same few moments over and over again because thats all there is, they probably know their content better than the doctor who people, but b/c you only see them in so many Situations, its also easier to begin to warp your perception of them. you only see them deal with a crisis a couple times under very specific circumstances. there are only so many character moments, so things can be blown out of proportion b/c you cant compare it to another similar moment.
but doctor who is infamously long and infamously has a Very large eu so you have a lot more time with the characters to pull together your perception of the characters, even when regenerations and new companions come and go. you simply have more to work with to build your understanding.
like if you compare the 'i just lost my best friend' scene from good omens to any of the 'doctor thinks companion is dead' scenes--crowley reacts like that only once. he is distraught, obviously, doesnt quite know what to do about it at first, doesnt know what's happened to aziraphale--but its a specific moment. bookshop burned down. world is ending. aziraphale Gone. whereas doctor who there's a range of scenarios with a range of reactions--guilt and also hope when bill gets shot and then taken away. anger and denial over clara willingly dying knowing that she must (actually resolved her character arc quite well i thought, though so did hell bent). there are more but i forget. uhm end of s1 second to last episode rose gets vaporised but it's actually a teleport, the way nine responds to that. there's just more to work with!! which i think is why the good omens fandom is so deeply embroiled in arguing over minutiae of character and background detail b/c they dont have anything more to read about them except fanfics (which are obvious a feedback loop in any fandom) and because they only see aziraphale and crowley for such a short time. they cant compare their reactions during times of The Literal End of the World and The Disruption Of Their Quite Nice Life Together And Also Possibly the End of the World to them just chilling.

Liveblogging Dead Friend Forever Ep 8
Shit has hit the fan and is going to continue hitting the fan this episode. Let's go!
Tee didn't steal the cash Non gave him to pay off his mafia debts? I am, honestly, shocked. I am not, however, shocked that mafia uncle thinks that Non is a police spy. This is not going to end well for Non but at least mafia uncle ends up in jail.
creepy teacher keng is going to get his ass a pair of cement shoes and I am here for it. dude, you are a math tutor why are you trying to investigate the mafia. They really are not trying hard to hide the fact that this is a mafia front. "the bathrooms are off limits, order food and get the fuck out" indeed. The closeup on the water jug makes me suspect poison but instead we get the frankly hilarious getting hit by a car scene, i hope that's how he dies.
OOoof, this favoritism from Non's mom is painful. Like, we knew she probably loved New best but hearing it...yikes. Non's not a good kid, like New is! Non can't do anything right, like New can! Poor Non.
Non's breakdown is so sad. this kid is Going Through It on all fronts.
oh my god, those voices reading the tweets...the salacious tones. so gross. Be On Cloud is Making A Point. very well done.
Non writing out the kills exactly how they happen 3 years from now. Either Non is (one of) the Killers or the killers found the script. So like, YES this is a revenge story! That shouldn't be shocking or disappointing to you, it was telegraphed! The fun is in how we get there not in complicated twists for twists sake! ok, moving on.
Tee being ordered to kill Non...i see i see. Tee doesn't like Non at all but is still horrified at the thought of killing him or his uncle killing Non. because Tee IS still a highschool kid himself, no matter how long his uncle has been making him do mafia shit is probably wasn't that. Tee's still got some goodness/innocence in him, which is probably the side he shows White.
LMAO at the netizens causing problems. yeah that sounds about right!
i am dying to see the awkward conversation between Jin and Non about Non coming back to finish the movie.
Tee being suspiciously nice. he's either plotting to kill Non to prove himself to his uncle or feeling incredible guilt that he's going to take Non to his uncle to get silenced. Or a mix of both! if I was Non i would not trust that water lol.
Jin stares at Non but can't even meet his eyes when Non looks back at him. GOOD. I don't care if he was upset about his crush 'sleeping with someone else', you don't just record people like that! He is, in fact, old enough to know that, even if he has poor impulse control because he's a dumb teenager.
is the prop an ACTUAL AXE. lol. lmao even. how did none of you realize this was going to end badly?!
Anyway, the knife being Non's, actually, is so fun. Just another little detail that the killers wanted the boys to recognize the calling card that's why Por got cut up a bit after he got stabbed by the branch.
You tell them, Non!
Oh, Top getting stabbed and Fluke having to take care of him...part of what Fluke was talking about how it's always him taking care of those things. I'm glad Non got to stab Top a little.
Jin trying to apologize for everyone but let's play some One Republic ft Timbaland 🎵🎶Because It's Too Late! To Apologiiiiize! It's Too Late! 🎵🎶
LMAO I was right to be suspicious of the water!!!! man did that kick in at just the right moment.
LOL Jin lying to the cops is just painful. You can tell that he's lying from a mile away, especially when he says that Non and Mr Keng truly loved each other. I do think it's interesting that they plotted to have the story be that Non ran away with Mr Keng.
Jin winds up the Final Girl of the version Por wound up shooting, even though Non had changed the script to everyone dying...them going back to the valley mansion because of Jin leaving the country...it's all about Jin, just like i've been saying! everything is connecting!
lol they all know Non is probably fucking dead and not with Mr Keng.
Tee, don't ask questions you don't want the answers to.
i knew it! I knew those were going to be Phi's last words to Non and it was going to eat him up! It's going to drive him insane and he's gonna murder people about it!
using the actual footage of Non's murdery breakdown in the movie...evil. Phi going to the movie premier... Iconic.

Guilt & Revenge: Race Against The Clock
Whumptober, Day 1: Race Against The Clock
Guilt & Revenge Masterlist
I was really struggeling with this prompt until my father, believe it or not, came up with a large part of this idea. It ended up being way longer than it was supposed to, lol. I'm so excited for the rest whumptober!!! Hope you enjoy!
TWs: poisoning, capitivity (on a boat), partial starvation, hunger, torture mention, begging, sobbing, lot of thoughts/discussion about death/dying/murder, victim blaming (by victim), mentions of being trained
Amber woke up when he heard footsteps on the deck, instantly dreading the second they’d head his way. He didn’t even have hope that they were only there to give him water and maybe food, because he’d been fed already yesterday- and the footsteps were close enough now for him to recognise them. It was Eileen and Mercedes… they never came in two’s when the visit was just to keep him alive.
They didn’t come to him immediately though. They stopped to do things in one of the rooms that he’d never seen, and he strained to listen to what they were doing and saying. Usually that meant they were preparing food for him… he knew he’d had food yesterday, but he couldn’t help but hope. He was already hungry again.
He contemplated getting up and kneeling, but… Hugo was the one that trained him to do that, and he wasn’t there, so Amber probably wouldn't be punished for it…. he shook his head. He was being trained to kneel when they walked in. He’d been doing good. How could he say he’d been doing good, if the moment Hugo wasn’t there, he didn’t do what he’d been trained to?
He got up and knelt, facing the bars of his cell. Arms folded over each other behind his back, eyes on the ground… the tilt of his head made Amber uncomfortably aware of the lack of hair on his head, and his eyes teared up. No- he could NOT start crying. They hadn’t even come to see him yet, damnit.
When they finally walked in, his mouth watered, and it took him a second to catch up- food! There was actually food! He was being fed twice in a row! He could smell it- it was a plain omelet… Also a small bowl of what looked like yogurt, and something in a mug. He could hardly contain his excitement.
“Up.” 
Eileen spoke with the same tone she always used on him when she wasn’t angry or emotional. Cold and detached and dominant, with hatred and disgust shining through. With Eileen, this was the good tone. When she’s angry, emotional, lashing out, she gets messy. Messy hurts more.
He could handle the cold hatred that came with commands and orders. The accusations and hatred that were spoken with raw pain in her voice usually meant weeks of pain for him. But either which way, he dreaded Eileen the most.
He obeyed the order effortlessly, instantly getting up. He didn’t speak, but he was looking at the food with anticipation and hope. His stomach growled, and he cursed it in his mind. He hoped he’d get to eat…
Mercedes opened the cell door and put the tray on the side of his bed, which was currently folded away. He looked at her nervously, and she smiled reassuringly. 
It only calmed him down a little.
“You can eat that”, she said. Amber didn’t ask for confirmation, didn't wait for them to change their minds- he started eating. The orange juice was delicious, he hadn’t had orange juice in… fuck know how long. It didn’t taste quite how he remembers, but it was exquisite. The yogurt was bland and honestly kinda gross, but he licked the bowl clean anyways, unwilling to waste food. The omelet was probably the best. There weren’t any spices or herbs in it, no cheese or onion or anything of the kind, but the omelet itself had far more flavor than most things he got to eat here. He finished it all as quick as he could, and then stared at the empty plate wishing he’d savored the flavor. Especially the omelet. It’s okay though, he’d get more chances… if they’d bought eggs again, he’d have eggs a lot the next while.
For a while, all that happened was Mercedes and Eileen looking at him curiously. It made him nervous. He didn’t dare say anything, taking solace in the fact that he could feel the food safely in his stomach. It felt heavy- maybe he wasn’t used to being fed twice in a row anymore. He tried to taste the remnants of flavor in his mouth. 
Why were they looking at him like that? 
The anxiousness of it was giving him a stomach ache. He turned his eyes to the floor.       His skin felt clammy, and he wished more than anything to be anywhere but here. Under their scrutinizing gaze, waiting for… for what? For him to make a mistake? For him to get nervous enough to start begging? For him to collapse from the sheer effort of standing, for him to start shaking?
Wait, what? Why was staying upright costing this much energy? Why was he sweating? He felt warm, hot even. The boat was not warm- just hours ago, he’d been shivering and trying to fall asleep. Now it felt like tropical temperatures. “Wha- ?”
Amber tried to ask what was going on, but stopped once he realized his speech was slurred. Mercedes and Eileen were fucking grinning at him. It scared him. They’d done something- the food! Of course, the food. Of course they wouldn’t just feed him twice in a row. Of course he wouldn’t be that lucky. “Wha’d’yy do tuh mee..?”, he slurred, and stumbled when the boat rocked.
“We gave you poison.”, Eileen said bluntly. Gee, thanks. That was obvious. 
“But we’ll give you a chance to earn the antidote”, Mercedes said. Oh, thank whomever was listening for Mercedes, letting him earn things, giving him a chance. More merciful than he deserved. “If you can guess what poison we gave you, you get the antidote. You’ve got about.. half an hour until it’s irreversible. And don’t think we wouldn’t let you die.”
At her words, Amber’s blood ran cold. Guess the poison? He didn’t know that much about poison. He would die. They would let him die. His eyes shot up to the clock on the other side of the bars. Half an hour. The boat rocked against a slightly larger wave, and he fell over. His shoulder and side hurt, but he didn’t even care. His stomach was cramping, and he was already soaked in sweat. His thinking was blurry, but three words blared through his mind like a siren on repeat. “Half an hour”.
He could hear Eileen laugh. Of course she’d love seeing him dead… he tried to think through the pain. Poisons, what type of poison? What would they even be able to get?
“R- rat poison?” He didn’t know the symptoms of it, but.. he didn’t have any way to narrow down.. he didn’t KNOW that much about poisons! A terrified little sob escaped him, hurting more than he’d like- it terrified him. 
“Incorrect!”, Eileen said, with a manically cheery smile on her face. He looked up at her, and caught sight of the clock again. Damn non-digital clocks for being so goddamn unspecific. He couldn’t see if it had moved or not.
Tears mingled with the sweat on his face as he curled up in pain. He didn’t wanna die. He didn’t. He wished more than anything he was home. Gods, he hadn’t even thought about home in months. When did he stop thinking of home? He didn’t wanna die here, on this boat, in the middle of he had no idea where, alone and in pain and FUCK, he needed to focus. 
He couldn’t focus. The clock ticked.
“Uhm, um, urm, uhh,” What else could it be? Something they’d actually be able to get… Not cyanide or some kind of fancy snake venom or anything like that. Something that made you sweat and hurt your stomach. Something that.. that disordered your thinking, that could kill you. Something with an antidote that had to be administered within half an hour. Something he hadn’t tasted- or, wait… no, he had. Had he? The orange juice, was it supposed to taste like that? And.. and the yogurt, and the omelet, had had a bit of the same taste… he’d thought it was the leftover taste of the OJ. Oh god, oh fuck, he was gonna die…
Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock…
The sound of that blasted clock had bothered him before, but now he clinged to it. He’d cursed it out and cried over it and had panic attacks about it, but right now, it was his hope. Every second that the clock ticked away was a second he had to earn his life. To earn the antidote. He tried not to hyperventilate, every breath agitating the pain in his stomach and chest. 
Tick, tock, tick, tock..
“Tick, tock.”, Eileen teased. “Better hurry up, Nic.”
The use of his deadname hasn’t bothered him in years, almost as many years as it had last been since someone called him his real name, but right now it stung. He didn’t wanna die as Nic, or Domenic, or Dom. When he died, he wanted it to be as Amber. He frantically searched his brain for what poison they possibly could have used, what fit the parameters… but with his brain foggy, and without a lot of knowledge on poisons in the first place, it was difficult, so, so difficult…
Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock…
“Mercury?”
“Incorrect”
Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock…
The next thing to pop in his mind was, maybe some kind of prescription drug. But how would he know what they have access to? He sobbed. “Please. Please, just, please please please… Please.”
Tick, tock…
“As soon as you guess it, you can get the antidote.” Mercedes said, comfortingly.
“That is, if you can guess it.” Eileen added with a sneer.
Tick, tock, tick, tock…
He could tell better now, the clock indicated time had passed. It was hard to see through the tears but… ten minutes? Fifteen? Fuck, was he halfway through already? How much time did he have left? He didn’t wanna be in this body. He didn’t wanna feel this pain, he didn’t wanna be here, he didn’t wanna DIE.
Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock…
“Punish me! Let me earn it some other way, please, I can’t, I can’t, please, please, please… Please!!! I don’t wanna die, I don’t wanna die, I know I deserve it, please!” Desperation soaked his words as he screamed out in pain, curling up further on himself. His thoughts, his vision, everything was as if through a haze. Everything hurt, hurt so bad… 
Tick, tock…
“Please, make it stop, please, please..” He babbled incoherently; frantic, unintelligible pleadings dripping with anguish. 
Tick, tock…
“GUESS!”, Eileen screamed. 
Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock…
“If, if you kill me, you can’t punish me anymore! Think of all I did to you! Surely you don’t- you don’t want me dead, or, I mean, of course you do, I mean, you want me to suffer! I can’t suffer anymore if you kill me! Please, I know I deserve to suffer! Please! Please, please, please….!! You won’t be able to punish me anymore! Don’t I need to be punished?!” He was grasping at straws, he knew. He HAD to convince them. He’d never be able to guess, he needed them to give him the antidote, fuck, and quickly.. How much time was left?
Tick, tock…
“You deserve to die like the pig you are.”, Eileen spat at him. Mercedes’ voice was softer. “Death would be just as deserved as more punishment. You’ll go to Hell anyways, we’re giving you the option to stay here longer. Just guess, Dom.”
Tick, tock, tick, tock…
Amber struggled to breath through the sobs and the pain, and his mind screamed at him that he was gonna die. He was gonna die. He was gonna die, die, die, die, die. Fuck, fuck, fuck.
Tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick FUCKING tock, tick, tock, tick, tock, tick, tock
He took it back. He resented that fucking clock, he hated it, he wanted to smash it to pieces, he wanted it to stop informing him of every second he was losing, every second he got closer to his death. It would come sooner or later. Even if they gave him the antidote, he wouldn’t live forever. He knew he wouldn’t be getting out of here ever again, had cried about never seeing the sun again, never being on firm ground again, never not feeling pain. Why hadn’t he realized before that of course he would die here, as well?
Tick, tock
“Four more minutes. Four minutes to guess, or else you die.” 
Tick, tock
“Please,” Amber whispered, in too much pain to do anything else. Please. Please, he didn’t wanna die. A tremor ran through his body, spreading the agony further. His lips felt dry and cracked, his movements sluggish as he lay on the floor and writhed. He was covered in sweat, and felt gross, although he didn’t have energy or time for such thoughts. Of all things to think of when you’re being tortured, poisoned- murdered. 
Tick, tock, tick-
A sudden increase of his pain and lack of air in his lungs alerted Amber to the fact that he’d been kicked in the stomach. “Time’s up.”, Mercedes said. 
“No, please, please- !” Amber feebly reached out for Mercedes as she and Eileen left. They didn’t come back, didn’t even look back. He curled up on himself further. That last kick would bruise. Or, well, no, it wouldn’t. He’d die before it would have the opportunity. Right? 
Wait, would he? How long would it take for him to die? He knew it was half an hour until it was too late for the antidote, but how long after that would it take for him to die? Please, fuck, let it be fast. He didn’t wanna be like this for hours. Maybe he could pass out from the pain- fuck, please. It wouldn’t be the first time. 
He shut his eyes. How long would he be here, suffering like this, alone? Would it be hours and hours? A day? Would they come back tomorrow and find him still writhing on the floor, still in agony? Or would they come back to find his corpse? Would they dispose of him? They must, right? Where? 
For the first time in years, he wondered about his family. His found family. Where did they think he was? Did they already think he’s dead? Would they ever find his body to bury? Did he even want to be buried? He hadn’t had time to think about it. He’d never thought about it. He didn’t know.
Or maybe his life would slip away in just a few minutes. Did he want that? He wanted the agony to end, but he didn't want to die. Oh, fuck, he didn’t want to die, and he didn’t get a fucking choice. He was dying. He was gonna fucking die, alone, in ridiculous amounts of pain, all sweaty and gross and with a tearstained face, on this stupid fucking boat with that stupid fucking clock still TICKING…
He was gonna die. Tick, tock, tick, tock. The sounds didn’t mean anything anymore. The time was just passing, now, not heading anywhere, or waiting for anything. He sighed. He screamed. He sobbed. He cried. He laughed, deliriously. Until finally, his eyes closed, and he couldn’t be arsed to open them again.
Tick, tock, tick, tock… a fading sound.
But then his eyes opened. He coughed, and he was clearly alive, and very confused. His head hurt like a bitch, and his limbs felt hollow. His stomach and arms were bruised where he’d been kicked, his side where he’d fallen hurt, his lips were cracked and his skin was covered in dried sweat. But he wasn’t dead.
With a groan, he rolled over. Whatever they gave him wasn’t lethal. They lied. No wonder he couldn’t guess it. They probably hadn’t even had an antidote. Of course not. They just wanted to scare him. 
He thought about Noah-Elise. About Jake. About Dave and Zander. About Trevor. How long had he been gone? How old was Trevor now? Were they still looking for him? God, Jake would absolutely murder Eileen and Mercedes and Hugo and Paul if he knew. Would they ever know?
He didn’t have tears left in him, but dry sobs passed over his lips until he lost track of time.
The boat kept rocking. The clock kept ticking. He was still breathing, his heart still beating. Nothing had changed. And nothing would.

how do u think st5 will end? i think eleven will sacrifice herself for will, before he dies, probably mike dies?? her powers would be strong enough to sacrifice and save hawkins. nancy stays single and travels away for a job/collage or something, steve gets himself a girlfriend, finally. please. he wants to be the stay at home mom with his kids. nancy clearly didn’t look like she wants that life cause she doesn’t, i really don’t understand why he’s still stuck on her even after so many years after their breakup, it’s silly. max wakes up. jopper will get married!! pls i need that to come true.. dustin survives vecna’s curse, idk will nancy get possessed too? and who’s the new lady that’s been introduced as a new character?? steve’s mom maybe?? or the mayoress of hawkins?? i want all the town to help the main group but still i don’t want it to be the second avengers endgame pls… omg could vecna possibly use his victims against our main characters? alsoo, i don’t want the ending scene where nancy and steve are in the car saying we’ve seen stranger things, it’s too corny for my liking pls no… and i like the time travel thing idea.. (going back in time so vecna would turned on his dark side.. this would be really easy way out, tho i hope it won’t happen lol?).. i’d really want eddie returning as a vampire, not really like coming from the dead, that would ruin everything probably (even tho i’d wanted it in heartbeat) buuut yk what i mean right? something like billy came back in max’s visions so eddie would come like this to dustin’s visions. the worst possible ending, is blood bath, there’s been a lot demand for a body count. i feel like modern audiences are more into stuff like game of thrones, walking dead.. stuff like that… killing characters casually. i’m not saying i don’t want a character or three dying tho! i’d be happy if they’d killed off two or three of the main characters finally, they always kill a new character that the audience like and then the audience is always mad. why is that?? we’ve already lost bob and eddie. should it be that way?? i’m really scared steve is going to die bc he was supposed to die in s1, if he does die i’m gonna riot against their stupid writing (that brings me getting stancy back together again). pls get him a girlfriend, a happy life he dreams about and don’t let him hang up on nancy anymore, he deserves better.. he’s changed.. also it needs to stay to the 80s show vibes and has the happy ending as well.. what do you think?? what are your thoughts? :D
I had to write down all your thoughts as bullet points so I could acknowledge them in my reply lmao. Loving this elaborate thought blurb! Alright, so I do think there will be some sacrificing going on, I'd see either Will or El doing it for Mike. Part of me thinks one of those two might die, but on the other hand I don't see them doing it. Why? 'Cause it would fuck up Jopper. And they spent a lot of time on Jopper. Hopper can't lose another kid and we've seen how Joyce handled Will's missing. Not saying this is logical, but it's what I think anyway. Maybe an almost death. Like one of them going in knowing they will probably die and saying goodbye- maybe, and then surviving. I feel like Max might get a more important role than we anticipate. Something about her showing up for El at the moment she needs her the most. Like in the mind thing. I'm worried for Lucas, that poor boy is suffering. :( Assuming Jopper survives - which I do think they will - I wouldn't be surprised if we get a Jopper wedding as a way of a corny happy ending. I don't expect anything mindblowing if I'm very honest, the fan theories have been so good that I fear disappointment for most of us lol. And well, considering many things - I also don't really care if it flops. I'll just enjoy seeing some of my sweet characters one last time before their actors go off into bigger and better projects. <3 Anyway, back to it. If they bring back Eddie, it's definitely gonna give us more pain than gain. He'll hurt Dustin, bet. As wonderful as the Kas ideas are, I don't see it happening considering what I mentioned in the previous paragraph. It's too good. I either see him show up in a Vecna vision or some kind of undead army thing. Both will suck. Imagine Dustin, who is literally embodying Eddie right now, is face to face with his dead friend. Yikers. Idk about the new lady, I'm honestly bored out of my ass that they added a new character for the last season. "Here's a new character to care about - or not - but they're gonna die once you get attached!" - so yeah, not many thoughts there. It'll be too brief. I don't see the town doing anything other than vandalize Eddie's grave and somehow find a way to blame the goddamn earthquake on him honestly. Steve and Nancy... fingers crossed it doesn't happen. For me anyway! For those that ship them, good luck getting it your way~ But yeah, I don't see the appeal, but I do feel how they're pushing it onto us hard. It wouldn't surprise me if Steve dies trying to protect Nancy and that we'll get a stupid nugget speech similar to Eddie's sheep speech. I really need that all to not happen. But don't wanna get too deep into ships, I just don't think that outcome would be sensible for either character. That said, Steve getting a partner (an unknown character) would be nice, but if I'm really honest I'd much rather they all leave it open to our interpretation. If we're getting a cliche ending of some future thing, just throw me the Jopper wedding or Steve and Robin (platonically) moving out of Hawkins together, away from that hellhole. This has become a mix of what I think might happen vs what I want to happen I guess, but these are my thoughts! And anyway, no matter what happens, we will always have a 1000+ fixit fics :)

No but I gotta share something with you all 😂
Listen, you know that weird dream I had about Beetlejuice 3? (I totally shared it in detail here if you're curious 😂), that it was pretty bad up until the third act when Betelgeuse finally showed up? Well, I had another weird dream about Beetlejuice 3 the other night and in that dream it was ALSO awful! It was terrible 😂. I don't remember the details as vividly as I did after that other dream, because the focus of my dream this time around was that I was at the movie theater with my sisters and my mom and dad (which it was so weird that both my mom and dad were there lol).
Anyway the one detail I do remember was that I was telling one of my sisters quietly "Ok the way this is going, either Betelgeuse will die in the end or he's gonna sacrifice himself for Lydia", and the movie wasn't even funny. It was like more dramatic than the other two and it was moving toward a sad ending.
And then this stupid girl (I am sure I've seen her on TikTok 😂) showed up late to the movie and she had already seen it, but she was meeting a friend, and from the entrance she started yelling at her friend about the ENDING. Something like "Oh! I know how this movie ends! Do you want to know how it ends?!" Like her friend was at the other end of the theater and instead of going up to her she was just shouting to her for some reason (I think her friend wanted her to spoil the ending for her and that's why she was even there??). She was just yelling from the door and even though I covered my ears I could hear her say that the movie ended with Betelgeuse dying. And I was so mad! Even though I totally knew he was going to die in the end, I was still mad I was spoiled, obviously.
I don't remember if he was actually going to sacrifice himself for Lydia but he was definitely dying at the end, and I think it would have made the movie a little more bearable if he did sacrifice himself out of love, but the movie was so terrible, it didn't matter. It wouldn't make up for it 😂.
Ah! So that makes two dreams (nightmares lol) about Beetlejuice 3 being awful. One of my sisters said "those might be premonitions at this point" 💀. I hope not! Like, I rebuke! 😂 In that case we're better off with a sequel with an ambiguous ending than a third movie with a terrible plot that ends with Beetlejuice and Lydia forever separated. I repeat: rebuke, rebuke, rebuke. My sister said my dreams are preparing me for the worse 😂. I personally can take a terrible plot Beetlejuice 3 if it has a good ending (and Beetlejuice x Lydia are endgame), but if it's gonna be terrible AND end up with Beetlebabes separated forever, then nope, I don't want it. 💀

Alright, just for you I'll select my first handful from the alphabet for Nikusa. 😉
What are Q, T, U, V, R, S, P?
Woohoo! I can edit asks again! Coming in hot with these headcanons! So sorry for dying on you guys for so long, exams are coming up and life is complicated but I'm getting through it (⁠✿⁠^⁠‿⁠^⁠)
My Christmas present is still in the works (yeah I'm late but you still deserve a gift!) but I hope to get it out by the end of the weekend. Anyways enjoy the headcanons, I love and appreciate you goobers very much ಡ⁠ ͜⁠ ⁠ʖ⁠ ⁠ಡ🩷!!!
✧🌟Headcanons🌟✧
Q - Their response to the question ‘are you ticklish’?
Initially Nikusa would be a bit confused, she's not used to being asked such personal questions and most people come to her to hopefully strike a deal with her. She might get a little flustered given the absurdity of the question. The most you'll get is a 'I don't know?' with an amused smirk and cocked eyebrow.
T - Their most favorite methods of teasing their lee/ler?
Playing investigator on their body; crawling her fingers up and down your body to bring out your worst reaction and best spot. The entire time she's just...talking, pointing out every detail she notices and coos when you react badly to her tickling and teases. "Right here, right here, right over here and oh, I can't forget this spot either! *chuckles* Aw, that's so cute, I'm telling everyone about this!"
U - Do they have some unusual tickles spots? Where?
Her thighs and knees. They are extremely ticklish and sensitive, much to the chagrin of the void queen. She hates it when someone manage to get their hands on her, it makes her go weak and behave in a way she'd never thought. Like a child, Nikusa encases her arms around her body and can do nothing but laugh until the ler lets up. God forbid there's more than one person taking her apart. (ESPECIALLY if it's Agoti and his friends)
It's all very adorable and her reaction to it all is very amusing. The almighty Void Queen giggling at mere pinches on her lower knee? Hilarious. However, this spot will trigger an unyielding vengeance within her that promises her to get back at you twice as hard as how you treated her that day. But Nikusa is unpredictable and very sly, so you'll never know if it will be the next day or next month.
V - As a ler, who is their favorite lee and what makes this person their ultimate victim?
Agoti for sure. He clearly hates her and she knows it, it's a different story when he tries something slick like tickling her. He's a prideful asshole with a smart mouth and needed a quick and swift humbling. It was always funny to see him thrashing in her hands as Nikusa lifted him to her level, shouting, demanding, to be let go. Nikusa would simply squeeze his ribs, watching his rage engulfed face turn into a goofy, terrified grin. She made sure to do it nice and slow, over and over again rapid fire until the angry boy was red and shrieking.
It was funnier when Solazar and Aldryx were around, the father that raised him to be a strong, skilled fighter was the same one reduced to a cackling puddle. It knocked Agoti down his smartass pedestal for sure, hopefully Agoti would realize just how insignificant he was to her and could defeat him in an instant, despite not using violence.
R - Lee or ler, what is generally their main role?
A lee surprisingly, but don't get comfortable too fast as she is plotting lol (⁠。⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧
S - If they were to suggest the safeword for a tickle session, which word will it be?
Offering yourself up to her, huh? Intriguing really. Nikusa will be highly amused by this and will tease and taunt you endlessly about it. Even she knows a safe word is necessary as she isn't exactly mortal and does not understand things like their boundaries. She'll be twice as alert as she normally is instead of tormenting you right off the bat but she'll be even more taunting, making sure you giggle your heart out.
To make it worse, Nikusa will make the safe word 'tickle' just to torment you and finds it amusing you can hardly even belt the word out without giggling your lungs out.
P - If they were to go after a lee and accept the aid of a tickle partner, who do they prefer to join hands with and why?
Nikusa would join hands with Aldryx. While their relationship has never been emphasized (Ago and Sol canonically dislike her), I can imagine their relationship to be surprisingly cordial, maybe even friendly at times. Aldryx is far too laid back to make enemies and is fairly approachable, so you'll be more likely to get a positive response than a negative one.
He gets serious when he has to, a tickle fight is not one of them. If Nikusa brings up the idea to Aldryx, who it is they are targeting will greatly affect his response. Most of the time, it's his little brother, so of course he won't hesitate to mess with the shitstain. The pair jump him, Aldryx doing most of the restraining while Nikusa goes ham, much to Agoti's suffering.
Well wowie, wasn't that an experience! It feels so good to do that again and these headcanons are definitely an upgrade compared to my old ones. My Nikusa interpretation mostly stems from CougarMcDowell's dubs and Aldryx is from a multitude of sources, mostly me since the 'cool as ice brother but ultimately still a bastard of a brother' trope is interesting to me (don't fret tho, Aldryx loves Agoti very much 🩷) ୧⁠(⁠^⁠ ⁠〰⁠ ⁠^⁠)⁠୨ giggles ok bye

Me reading Retrace 86: Rufus Barma is very very smart I knew he had some plan on hand he'd never hurt Shirley now I wonder what was his real motive all along
Me reading Retrace 87: *face palm*
Tumblr media
me:
Tumblr media
Additionally,
LIVE SLUG REACTION
Tumblr media
(Leo's (Oswald) laughing face is too cute! for once, Vincent and I are in full agreement lmao)
(Rufus is screaming this at Glen, Glen of all people *facepalm* I dunno to laugh bc he is so stupid or cry bc he is a precious bean; (even if he might be borderline stalker-ish (lol), I mean following around a woman and asking her to marry him for fifty years??)
either way, he genuinely wants to protect Shirley even if she never accepted his love and doesn't ask for anything more than her friendship (the reason I was certain he won't have betrayed her that easily and so I never took the whole "Rufus killed Shirley" part too seriously anyway) which, on the surface, seems similar to.... Jack's situation as Glen points out and Rufus accepts but.... NO, it is not the same. I refuse to accept. Rufus is merely trying to protect what memories he has of her. If Glen changes the past, he and Shirley would never have met and he laments that. that's all. He is all of cunning, nosy, stupid and pathetic (all of this I say lovingly okay?), but he is NOT obsessive. I doubt if she said she loved this world yet ended up dying suddenly, he would twist her words and try to destroy the world to "take it to her bc she loved it so much"?? Nah, I think he would def protect the world she loved so much and care for Sharon in her place as a grandfather.... or moreso, I hope,,, it's hard to say what people might do in a situation that's not happened yet)
hmmm, listening to both sides of the argument (maybe as the reader, I sympathize with both idk) but I can't fully agree with what Rufus says and I can't fully agree with what Oswald is trying to do either... so it's a useless deadlock for me. It seems this Oswald, driven by his regrets from 100 years ago that he has carried over and his helplessness over his failure to protect the world, is acting more like Jack: under the pretext of wanting to save the world and correcting his mistake from back then, he is stopping at nothing to achieve his goals and having no mercy for anyone or anything that stands in his path. anyone objects to what he wants, they are dead Ru-kuuuuun ;-;
I love Oswald but rn he is making it really really hard for me to continue liking him :((
ending with this panel of Ru-kun and Shirley-sama because they were so young and childish once lmao ;-;
