VIC, END PROGRAM
I never got to work directly with James Darren, despite co-writing a scene for Vic in the 5th season that never got filmed. But by all accounts, he was a wonderful guy and much loved. So, here's to you, Mr. Darren. I wish I'd gotten to meet you more than just in passing. Much love to his family and friends.

What are your thoughts on Murder Drones ending? was curious to hear your thoughts for the series finale when it comes out

I think Murder Drones will get season 2.
Here's why:
1. In some of Liam's art, there's season 1 written on it
2. The trailer has Season 1 written, too




3. On glitch x Liam confirmed it's season 1
I doubt the show will end, but we will see everything on August 23
If there's no season 2, then... well, i just want to say THANK YOU LIAM AND GLITCH PRODUCTION FOR MAKING THIS SHOW. IT WAS GREAT WHILE IT LASTED

I saw a couple of posts here and on ao3 where you talked about how TOA Apollo has a stilted view of romantic relationships. Would you be comfortable explaining that, it got me really interested!
OKAY
SO
gonna be putting this under a cut for length
Apollo and relationships. Specifically, ToA Apollo and relationships.
let's see if I can formulate the thoughts into words.
Right off the bat, Apollo does have a hard time avoiding those red flags (hello, Commodus), so much so that he can see them...he just ignores them.
This already tells us that he doesn't have the healthiest view on relationships, or what specifically a healthy partner would be like.
In RRverse canon, these are all of his confirmed, canon relationships/love interests;
Hyacinthus
Commodus
Naomi
Darren
Latricia
Cyrene
Daphne
Sibyl
(I probably missed some asdfhjk)
Anyway, I've noticed that in canon, Apollo's relationships tend to fall into two categories; Sweet or Sour, we'll call them.
Now the majority on the list are Sweet! They are fulfilling relationships with no indication of any bitter feelings- Apollo is not shy about telling us about his love life, and certainly doesn't keep it from us when a relationship went south.
What I find interesting is that all three of the Sours can help pinpoint Apollo's more jaded/stilted view on romance.
Let's kick off with Daphne.
First things first, Apollo is quite literally forced to fall in love with her. Like. That has GOT to screw with a guy. What's more, is that when Apollo explains to us how Eros's arrows work;
What people do not understand: Eros’s arrows can’t summon emotion from nothing. They can only cultivate potential that is already there. Daphne and I could have been a perfect pair. She was my true love. She could have loved me back. Yet thanks to Eros, my love-o-meter was cranked to one hundred percent, while Daphne’s feelings turned to pure hate (which is, of course, only the flip side of love). Nothing is more tragic than loving someone to the depths of your soul and knowing they cannot and will not ever love you back. The stories say I chased her on a whim, that she was just another pretty dress. The stories are wrong. - The Hidden Oracle
There's an implication that he and Daphne may have actually been...friends. Or at the very least acquaintances.
It's never stated in canon when Daphne happened, and the mythology itself is weird about the timeline, but it certainly happened earlier in Apollo's life.
Imagine being forced to fall madly in love with someone you know and they are made to despise you.
The self-confidence definitely took a blow here.
What's more...
When she begged Gaea to turn her into a laurel tree in order to escape me, part of my heart hardened into bark as well.
Apollo tells us plainly that what happened with Daphne shook his views on romantic endeavors. Though, it didn't keep him from engaging in romance, either.
Now, back to Commodus real quick. We already covered the No Red Flag Bell with him, and honestly, I won't spend too much time here because I got a whole meta list waiting to dissect these two XD
But Sibyl reveals something else about Apollo and romance- sometimes, he sees it as transactional.
The story of Apollo and Sibyl does differ from the mythology of them- in mythology, Sibyl tricks Apollo into granting her a long life, and he kinda just shrugs and says 'okay, but you didn't ask for eternal youth either so...whoops?'
In ToA, Rick switches it up a bit by having Apollo grant Sibyl a long life after she jokes about it, and when she further rebuffs him, he curses her with no eternal youth.
Alas, I knew what I’d been thinking—that she was a pretty young woman I wanted to get with, despite the fact that she was my Sibyl. Then she’d outsmarted me, and being the bad loser that I was, I had cursed her. - The Tyrant's Tomb
I promised you life, not youth. You can have your centuries of existence. You will remain my Sibyl. I cannot take those things away, once given. But you will grow old. You will wither. You will not be able to die.
Yeah, it sounds like Apollo more or less curses her with no eternal youth here.
(Daily disclaimer that mythology Apollo's love life is actually very good and you should read up on it :3)
Back to the transactional thing-
"You cannot refuse payment." “Payment?” She balled her hands into fists. “You dare think of me as a transaction?” “I didn’t mean—Obviously, I wasn’t—”
Now, do I think Apollo sees all relationships as transactional? No. But let's consider the Olympian influence for a moment here.
Olympus in the RRverse is rather fucked, no doubt about it. The gods do not help without first being given something, and that permeates through their whole lifestyles.
Apollo's not being transactional because ✨misogyny✨. He's being transactional because that's what he's been raised to believe. If he gives something, he gets something back. That goes for all the gods, male and female and everything in between.
Bacchus helps the demigods in Mark of Athena because they paid tribute to him. Whenever a god extends aid, burnt offerings are made in thanks- which is probably part of the reason why Hera got angry with Annabeth when she refused to give her burnt offerings in The Battle of the Labyrinth after she helped her on her quest.
Apollo doesn't seem to be as picky as some (ie, The Titan's Curse, where he helps out to help out. You can argue he got his sister back in exchange but that's not really typical godly exchange lol), but it's clear that mindset has somewhat transferred over into relationships.
Now, I also want to talk about how Hyacinthus affected him- because let's be real, he was the one that affected him the most without outside interference (looking at you, Eros).
Apollo has told us time and again that Hyacinthus was one of, if not his greatest, love. His death really left a mark on him, and I am of the firm belief that it's that mark that made him wary of forming too close of a relationship with others- even when he tries to convince them and himself they are his One True Love™️, it falls flat inside his own head.
Because let's face it- that spot is occupied by Hyacinthus, and the hole he left in Apollo's heart.
This isn't to say Apollo loves his other lovers less- heck no! Love is one of his defining qualities. He has much love in him!
It's just that Hyacinthus had a particular impact on him, and how he views relationships.
*vibrates in Hyapollo multific* I have...my own personal ideas...on what that entails...
And we see how touch-and-go Apollo is with other lovers! As soon as Commodus becomes emperor, he's gone. And only comes back in disguise, never revealing himself until he kills him.
Naomi, Darren, and Latricia are all obviously loving relationships from what we can gather, but it's clear it was never long-term.
Cyrene, really, is where I'd argue he got the closest to a long-term relationship with a mortal-ish person, but even so, they aren't in a permanent long-term relationship either.
Hyacinthus, however? I can see he and Apollo maintaining an everlasting romance.
...Also because that is exactly what happens according to the Spartans and who are we to deny what the Spartans declared about their national hero?
The only other exceptions to this I can see are his relationships with the Muses and (hello, fellow Apricity shippers) Boreas.
But even so...the Muses give off like, 'married co-workers' vibes, if that makes sense, and Boreas is more or less a winter fling (fandom forgive me, you know I am a shipper🫡)
Anyway. Hope this rambling makes sense or at least provides a platform for someone to put coherent thoughts together lmao
In conclusion: sometimes Apollo is transactional in relationships because of the culture he was raised in, and he has commit issues because of just how hard Hyacinthus's death hit him :)
have fun pondering :3

hey bestieee how about prompt 41 with darren vapes and josh king?
PIBE Fanwork Week Day 4: DARREN VAPES THURSDAY!!
Josh…wasn’t supposed to be in this house…mansion…whatever.
He was technically breaking and entering, though to be clear he hadn’t broken in really, he’d just…entered. Whether or not he’d been avoiding the cops when he’d done so was beside the point.
It’s not his fault the city had no sense of humour regarding silly string and public monuments.
He and Kat had lost track of each other and he’d ducked into the open door of a big house he was almost 98% sure was empty.
Based on previous experience the cops would give up and he’d go on his merry way.
But then Josh heard a noise in the room to his left.
78% sure.
Josh knew he should probably just sit quietly in the hall and hope it was just a squirrel or a mouse. But he’d always been too curious for his own good.
Creeping slowly to make sure he didn’t alert whatever it was with the creaking of the floor boards, Josh advanced.
Just as he was about to peer into the room, Josh froze, interrupted by a voice.
“Sometimes you don’t quite know where you are, whether you’re up or down, or left or right. It’s the choice between staying where you are or movie forward,” said a deep gruff voice from the other room, pitched up like he was asking a question, and then inexplicably Josh smelled cotton candy vape.
Perplexed Josh leaned forward to see who was speaking, peeking just around the hallways.
It was a man. Taller than Josh, at least six foot with dark brown hair, covered by a grey fedora that matched his long grey trench coat, which was not so successfully hiding broad shoulders and a muscled physique.
The man was rifling through the contents of one of the desks which allowed Josh to look uninterrupted at his profile.
His square jaw was accented by a five o’clock shadow, which completed the chiaroscuro effect on his face. The man’s nose was slightly crooked, as though it had been broken at least once, breaking the completely clean-cut illusion, this man had probably been in at least one fight.
Josh swallowed.
He should just go, the cops had definitely given up by now. But his luck had run out. The flood boards creaked underneath his feet and the man whipped around, facing Josh and pointing dramatically.
Josh’s head held three thoughts.
One: Fuck fuckity fuck
Two: This man was extremely handsome.
Three: Josh recognized him?
This man was Darren Vapes, famed detective, who as far as Josh knew wasn’t real.
Like yes Josh knew that the character Darren Vapes was based on a real guy from the 40s, but this wasn’t that guy.
This was Darren Vapes, famous detective and fictional character Josh had worshipped when he was younger.
He’d also, looking back, probably should’ve been clued into his bisexuality at that point and not twenty years later when his girlfriend had pointed it out. But that was beside the point.
Right now Darren Vapes was here in front of him, and he didn’t know what to do.
So of course he said something stupid.
“What are you doing in my house?” he asked, crying to look like he hadn’t been creeping around as well.
“I was in his house,” Darren Vapes said not looking directly at Josh and instead on a wall on the other side of the room “Was the house part of the mystery? Was he part of the mystery? Could he be the key? Maybe to inside the mystery, I needed to get inside of him…inside of his head.”
Josh blushed. He couldn’t help it.
“What’s your name? Where am I?” Darren Vapes asked, looking at Josh with piercing green eyes.
“I’m Josh,” he replied, still trying to suss out if this guy was a super in character cosplayer “You’re in Mountport…in my house.”
“Mountport,” Darren Vapes began to monologue again, Josh watched as his focus slide away “The name was a contradiction, mountains near the sea? Was this a trick? Was this a trap? Josh meant to confuse me. To confuse Darren Vapes. He’d succeeded, of course, a feat not achieved by many.”
With a lightning-quick move, Josh found himself pinned up against the wall, one trench coat-clad forearm forcing his chin up. His mouth went dry, and he swallowed again.
“Why are so nervous, Josh? Darren Vapes asked again “Have I fallen into your trap? Have you conspired to trap me in Mountport?”
“No! Absolutely not,” Josh panicked, clearly, it was time to come clean “Listen this isn’t my house, I’m not trapping you, I didn’t even know you were here. Just trying to avoid the po-some people chasing me.”
“You lied?” Darren Vapes narrowed his eyes, at him.
“Yeah. Sorry,” Josh stammered, he couldn’t help it. His face was So Close To His. And Josh had eyes. “It was just a spur-of-the-moment thing.”
Darren Vapes suddenly turned, letting Josh go.
“Is a lie really a lie if you don’t want to tell it?” Darren Vapes said “or does it get smaller, smaller and smaller like a worm. And do we really think about worms? Do we care about their actions? Do we take offense?”
Josh was pretty sure his childhood gay awakening had just called him a worm…which was weird.
“You’re forgiven, Josh,” Darren Vapes said before striding out of the room “Perhaps I will see you again, but for now, the mystery awaits!”
Josh heard the front door open and slap, once again leaving him alone, with no proof of his encounter but the remnants of cotton candy vape.
What the fuck had just happened?
He sighed, thoroughly convinced that he had just met a fictional detective in real life, and it had been kinda hot.
About on par with time lords and elevator curses.
At least Rachel and Kat would believe him. Janice would probably make fun of him.
Mountport was so fucking weird, man.
#play it by ear#pibe#pibe fanfic#i fully did this one last#because i didn't know what to do#thank you cj for the ask because omg#anyway don't think about it too hard#darren vapes was josh's gay awakening#pibe fanwork 2025#darren vapes thursday

can’t think of anything to say other than it was everything I could have ever expected and wanted and hoped for. seeing them perform truly is an electric experience and I am so, so grateful I got to be there. I’ve never felt such overflowing joy and love in one room before and that truly is down to what a one-of-a-kind group Starkid is. I’m so happy and a little emotional that it’s over but like it’s sung in days of summer, “don’t wanna see you go but it’s not forever, not forever” ⭐️💜

something poetic about mr crepsley "killing" darren after blooding him. paralyzing him, breaking his neck, digging his body back up after watching his funeral from afar, and that symbolizing the end of darrens first life. the end of his past family. he's entirely mr crepsley's now. his assistant. his son. his blood.
#he rebirthed that boy. changed darren's blood and dna to be his own so that he'll be all his and can never go back to his family#the fact hed watched him until the exact time he could force darren to agree to be his assistant.#he knew darren stole madam octa. he knew it wouldnt end well. hed watched him for those 2 weeks until all hell broke loose#and waited for darren to come find him to ask for help. and he used that against darren. and did everything he could to make him All His.#idk im going through something severe rn....#captain's log#cdf#cirque du freak

Hello, I hope this ask finds you well.
While eating some after lunch ice cream I came to wonder what flavors of ice cream the drones would like. If they were able to eat ice cream that is. Here is what I've come up with thus far.
J would be partial to coffee ice cream but would be the type to rarely eat ice cream. While for N I imagine he would be a fan of most flavors, but he would have a soft spot from soft serve chocolate. For Uzi I think she would enjoy mint ice cream. Thad, I think he would prefer fruity ice creams, sherbets and sorbet. V, I think would like strawberry ice cream with chunks of real strawberry.
What do you think?
Oh my goodness these all make so much sense for their personalities. Also I can definitely see Thad enjoying some Sorbet to the point where i think he’d get sick off of it accidentally.
Adding onto this, I think Lizzy would like vanilla ice cream, and a guilty pleasure of hers would be pistachio too. I’ve never had it, but it feels fitting.
Also, I feel like Rebecca would be partial to cotton candy ice cream. She’d like the one that has those little pieces that pop in your mouth.
Darren would like cookies n’ cream, especially the one with oreo chunks in it. He loves some nice oreos.
These are so fun to think of

how do you set up your twoberhood save? as far as lots go anyway. i know ts4 is more limited with lots than ts4 and i am a ts4 noob
hey hi hello! oh boy setting up this save has sure been a time. am probably clinically obsessive + have a perfectionist streak a mile wide so have spent maybe a year tweaking and tooling with it because it's never felt "right" but the lots have always stayed in the same spots, and have just been renovated a silly number of times. the lots originally started out as 1:1 recreations and have slowly morphed to look a little nicer + to fit my personal style, but with so many worlds and so many lots they're not all done :( all the other lots (unoccupied and community) are also ripped right from ts2 but tend to just make 'em as needed!
#my perfectionist streak goes brrrrrrrrr#my plan is to have darren + maybe jenny burb get into the interior design career + use that as a way to renovate if the opportunity comes u#had to let go of my obsessive nonsense and just start playing otherwise this save would never ever ever get played it's one of those things#that'll never be Finished if that makes sense#ask
