oh yeah the canon quincamo interaction i forgot to include in my masterlist was literally just
in hc yakumo’s first room, he’s making the party something to eat but he’s distracted because he’s in the forest, so he forgets to add seasoning to the dish. quincy doesn’t say anything, opting to just silently eat the food with a look of displeasure on his face (along with edmond and eiden). only after kuya points out that yakumo forgot the seasoning does quincy chime in with his simple criticism, i think he says something like “it’s a little tough (to chew)” (while edmond says it’s not up to yakumo’s usual standard because he’s a sweetheart like that)
i can’t imagine yakumo and quincy have known each other for very long, they’re celebrating quincy’s relationship with the tribe strengthening and yakumo is still weary of being in the forest, but already quincy has decided that he’d rather just eat food that doesn’t taste very good in silence as opposed to saying something and risking making yakumo upset.
maybe.. and this is treading into crack territory but maybe.. quincy noticed that yakumo was uneasy and distracted? he is very observant like that. and i can’t imagine it isn’t common knowledge in the clan that yakumo is an excellent cook. maybe he knew yakumo was having a bad day and was willing to let it slide.
#anyway that’s the entire interaction with the added bonus of me looking WAY too much into it#nu carnival#yakumo ♡#quincy ♡#edmond#kuya#eiden#quincamo

Okay okay okay. Lulu and I were talking. About who would be a bad driver and what not and I was gonna write about ALL of them. But I specifically need to talk about Rei.
But I'll give a lil rundown first
Eiden: okay driver. Goes over the speed limit but follows road laws.
Aster: clearly a passenger princess
Morvay: he can't even read road signs lbr
Yakumo: no, well he can, but he rather be a passanger. Too much anxiety. Had a bumper sticker saying 'do t honk I'll cry'
Edmond: following ALL the laws. 100% model driver but you also hate him bc he will drive 5 under the speed limit
Olivine: he's gay and hitting the curb
Quincy: he has a truck but the back is 100% filled with the most random shit and it's never cleaned. Bonus: Topper has really bad road rage and makes Quincy roll down the window so he can cuss at others
Kuya: cannot and will not drive. Is Quincy's passenger princess but he's forced to sit in the bed of the truck.
Garu/Karu: don't you dare put him in the driver's seat. Can't reach the pedals.
Blade: he can...but that doesn't mean he should
Dante: he's a passenger princess. But he has the ability to drive. Doesn't mean he's good
OKAY NOW REI
God he drives a mini van. You know. One of the ones that has third row seating. The destination is 20 minutes away? He's getting there in 14.
The doors are different colors. It's so old..you aren't sure how it doesn't break down. Half of the dash board doesn't work. Every light is on.
Oh. And he doesn't have a license.
Scenario:
Eiden is freaking out because they have to be somewhere in 15 minutes but it's a 35 minute drive. And Rei is like 'oh don't worry I got this' and shove everyone in his van.
The set up:
Rei, driving obvs.
Kuya is in the passenger seat bc princess.
Quincy is in the seat behind Rei
Dante is in the seat behind Kuya, and Garu is on his lap, no working seatbelt.
Olivine is on the floor between the two
Back row is Eiden Yakumo and Edmond, they have one of those lap seatbelt that goes across the whole seat. Eiden is holding Aster (in lil guy form)
Blade somehow squeezed in the now tiny trunk part and is holding Morvay (also in lil guy form)
Rei looks at Kuya and tells him to put his seatbelt on, and Kuya is like "don't tell me what to do" and doesn't... Which Rei planned... because Rei doesn't know how to slow down. His foot is either from the gas or the break. Quincy knows this and is death gripping the seatbelt and making sure Topper is safe.
Rei slams on the breaks and Kuya slams his head off the dash just as Rei intended. This happens at least twice.
Dante is holding onto Garu for dear life who keeps asking to roll the window down.
Edmond is in the back, being held down by Olivine and Eiden
Edmond: KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD
Rei: *holding a mirror to do his make up*
He is the one who somehow is using a hair dryer in his car. Father is actually driving. Rei just uses the pedals.
Dante: your Holiness. Can you start a prayer
Olivine: *already started*
Edmond: I'M MAKING SURE YOUR LICENSE IS SUSPENDED
Rei: if I had a license
Edmond is having a fit
Dante is hoping Garu weighs enough to keep him safe in his seat.
Topper is now up front squeaking out the window and Quincy is telling him to be nice.
Rei: I know a shortcut
It's through the woods where there is no road
BUT. They made it with 2 minutes to spare.
Dante falls out of the car and throws up.
Blade and Garu are the only ones who had fun.
Rei is like "told you I could get us here on time"
Edmond has not stopped yelling for 8 minutes. Kuya's forehead is red from hitting the dashboard. Dante rather stay where they are and walk back then get in that van. Eiden and Edmond are offering to drive back but Rei won't let anyone drive his van. It's literally falling apart. Nothing works. Only he knows how to work it.

Could we see Edmond and Quincy hanging around the stables? Edmond’s probably taking care of the horses while Quincy is napping on the hay bales. Bonus for any character of your choosing joining them
I tried to do this on paper but it just didn't look how I wanted....so I got a phone drawing app and did it there 👍
Also no secret 3rd character because I didn't have much energy today 😔💔 (unless you count the horse who has quite the character-)
The moment I read this prompt- I just knew I wanted it to be a little silly. (I also couldn't stop myself from accentuating Edmond's behind and Quincy's chest, my apologies 👍)

So it's still a while till The Count of Monte Cristo limited series will se the light of day, but in the meantime, is there a reason for optimism for a Sam Claflin fan? This Sam Claflin fan, at least.
Regardless of the choices the adaptation will make, one thing sure is that Sam will give a flawless performance as the titular character, and any disguises that this will include. I think abbe Busoni and the English lord should appear at least (the French film had them). It'll be a good microcosm of his range. He has a good arc: from a young naive idealistic sailor to a broken down prisoner at Chateau D'If to a man obsessed with revenge to a man who makes amends and finds peace, it will be a delight!
It's Sam once again playing a character completely different from any other one he has played so far. And you know what, this is the one that I will finally be able to say will be my blorbo. (I rarely use that term, in fact I don't think I used it ever, but it applies now.) I've not really had a chance to have that with Sam. I like so many of his performances, but I've not had a fave character that got as close to my heart as Edmond.
I'm really hoping, after everything that went on around Daisy Jones and the Six, that this limited series based on a book will have a more mature fandom, not so rabidly focused on romance and shipping. *Crossing my fingers so hard they hurt, please please please please please, universe, don't let Edmond x Mercedes shippers take over everything, please please please please please* (FWIW I don't think Edmond x Mercedes shippers are that crazy, but you never know what kind of stupid a new TV show might bring.) If it should happen that Tumblr discovers this show, I'm hoping that they will go for: 1. Maximilian x Valentine, the Romeo & Juliet star-crossed lovers, 2. Eugenie x Louise, the lesbians (I mean, canon HEA lesbians in period drama?) 3. the gay shipping. Albert x Franz, Albert x Edmond or even Franz x Edmond, or Edmond x any of the three antagonists. This is probably the best bet, tbh. While it may get annoying if the tag will get overtaken by shippers, I know I will not be the only one who will be annoyed by that. As long as Sam's performance is not reduced to romance only, it'll be fine. Which brings me to...
Chemistry. Oh dear. Okay, so if that word will get a mention, I hope this will be about Sam having chemistry with any/all of his co-stars, not just Ana Girardot; after all, they don't have that many scenes together. If it's with Jeremy Irons I won't mind. As there is a lot going on in the story, the show will simply not have time to dedicate long scenes to Sam looking at a co-star.
And last but not least, as Sam is the only actor in leading role, everyone else being a supporting character, all the promo and everything that will come with the series will concentrate on him and him only. Nobody, nobody will hog the limelight from him!
Bonus: awards?

The kazoo - a useless insight.
For very important scientific reasons, this morning I woke up and found out that playing the kazoo isn’t actually as easy as it seems.
My first thought about it was “Aw, how talented” referring to you-know-who, but let’s delve into some details. I have collected my favorite curiosities down here for you:
You don’t just blow into the kazoo, neither you “hmmm” into it. You have to actually sing into it to make it work. Sounds like an effort to me.
The end you have to sing in is the flat one, not the pointy one.
Now, my favorite part. These are some of the syllables identified on Wikipedia to change notes on the kazoo: doo, too, who, rrrrr or brrr. “rrrrr or brrr”, understand?
Before Papa - but not as good as him - the kazoo was used by Frank Zappa, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, and also Rammstein. Apparently, no pop singer had the same steel balls to use the kazoo in their songs. This makes it a very badass instrument, if you ask me.
In 2011, “At the Royal Albert Hall, 3.910 kazooists played Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries”. Just epic.
The kazoo is strictly related to the PARTY HORN - which is not an instrument - and the Eunuch flute (Mirlitone). And about the Eunuch flute, “the Creole composer, Edmond Dédé wrote Méphisto Masqué for grand orchestra and a fanfare of Mirlitone Instruments”. The devil is always around the corner here.
Papa played a kazoo with a square filter, instead of the more common round one. I hoped to find something interesting about it but honestly no, it is just that. The bravest of you will find a connection with Square Hammer, I just know it.
As a bonus, I’d like to remind you that Papa had a professional, tiny kazoo stand for his precious instrument.

Assorted Limbus Company Story theories/Wishlist (I'd just think these be neat)
A Dante (Can be Pre or Post Clock) gets revealed to be Edmond Dante from Cask of Amontillado instead of Dante Alighieri.
Pre-Clock Dante is revealed to still be alive and around via Homonculus/Clone/Identity/Whatever reasons, That way we can have the 2 Dante's physically fight eachother.
In that same vein I hope Dias is still around and is teamed up with Pre-Clock Dante & Demian to "save the City" so we can have a Dark Parallel to the Seed of Light Trio as our True Final Boss.
Dante gains unlocks either E.G.O or Shin as part of the Inferno Final (leaning more towards Shin cause that specifically has to do with memories)
As a result of the Inferno Final everyone gets separated and there's a one year time skip. Bonus Point if Dante, Faust, and another Sinner are Forced to Hide in the Outskirts for that time. Extra Bonus points if its in The Library or the Old Seed of Light Lab
Beatrice is either a Beholder or an Arbiter. Don't ask me why I want this. I know more realistically our Faust is sooner to be revealed to be Beatrice, I just think it be cool if my idea was the case.
Ayin does not make an appearance and if he does its as a force ghost Ala Carmen and gets one scene where he can exposit on character development/weird lore reveals.

An absolutely stellar quote for each of the villains from 'The Hundred Days':
Villefort shuddered at the idea of the prisoner cursing him in the darkness and silence, but he had gone too far to retreat. Dantes would have to be broken between the cogs of his ambition.
God, that second line is so good. What I love about this line is how deliberate and at the same time resigned it is. Villefort will sacrifice anything to his ambition, and by doing so finds himself somewhat trapped by his own choices. He has no way out but forward. While he may cringe a bit, and dreads the idea of reprisal from his enemies, he knowingly continues to walk this path.
...his denunciation had been accurate and, like all men with a certain natural aptitude for crime and only average understanding of ordinary life, he described this strange coincidence as 'a decree of Providence'. But when Napoleon had returned to Paris and his voice, imperious and powerful, was heard once more in the land, Danglars knew fear.
While his decision to leave here does end up working for him, it's motivated by no great strategic mind; rather, he is described as having criminal instincts but not a great deal more. He fears revenge (and that last line is fantastic) but, for all his scheming, he isn't the character who sees the picture around him most clearly (except in one distinct way - he remembers Dantes, and fears him, rather than any official/larger-scale fallout. He knows the kind of man Dantes is more than the others). That's Villefort, who is described above and earlier in the chapter as being quite aware of his situation and possible future ramifications, as well as having good instincts. So Danglars runs, always hoping to rebuild anew somewhere else.
As for Fernand, he understood nothing. Dantes had gone away; that was enough. What had happened to him? Fernand did not try to find out.
Look, this guy's dumb. He's a loser. He wants Mercedes, he hates Dantes, and that's as far as he goes. His lack of curiosity or awareness of what is truly going on around him makes him in some ways the easiest mark of them all, certainly compared to the two schemers above. This quote made me laugh.
Caderousse was called up as Fernand had been; but, being eight years older than the Catalan and married, he was not recruited until the third wave of conscription and sent to guard the coast.
Okay, I admit this stretches 'absolutely stellar quote' to the limit. It's not really at all, but I do feel like it kind of sums his role up decently. He's kind of a sucky guy, but not as much as the other three. He hangs back, in terms of villainy, both in convicting Dantes and in profiting off his absence, compared to the others. While he does get drawn in to the villainy repeatedly, it is more reluctantly/gradually... but it does still happen. He succumbs to temptation. He gets used, he keeps quiet out of cowardice, he gets greedy, etc. I dunno, it's probably just because I thought some of the other lines were somewhat character-defining, but I thought this line about his eventual conscription sort of matches his role among the villains.
Also, a couple bonus lines that I love:
So it was that Dantes, during the Hundred Days and after Waterloo, remained under lock and key, forgotten, if not by men, at least by God.
The reversal of the usual phrase here, where he may be remembered by men but has been forgotten by God, is delicious.
It was not the fact that Mercedes lacked the courage to carry out this intention, but the succour of religion that saved her from suicide.
I dunno, I love the emphasis on her bravery and her genuine love for Edmond. Also the contrast of her 'hopeless expectation' driving her to suicide being held back by her religion and the comfort she recieves from Fernand is such an interesting contrast to Dantes' own suicidal thoughts in prison.

QUINCY, I ain't gonna lie, you're kinda ruining this fun field trip to the prison....
(Prison Cell 01-04 React-os!)
⸜(。˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
Edmond....My lovely Tsun Tsun.... My beloved Closet Pervert....
Sureeee, you're only wearing it because it's the uniform...But looking sexy af and impressing Eiden is a fun bonus!
(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧
2. 🚨 GILF ALERT!!!! 🚨
Two events in a row with the Gilfs, dude....Someone on the dev team has a hidden agenda....
Side note, this dude is handsome but I DO NOT TRUST HIM. Look at that side-eye!!! Hell no, he's SUS.
3. Oh, Quincy most certainly got himself arrested on purpose.
I mean, I already guessed as much from the previews, but still... I'm guessing there's a secret illegal Crowcave Tree logging operation going on through this prison.
And since Quincy is literally friends with old trees, he'd be REAL PISSED about it, and decide to take it down from the inside.
4. Yup, this prison is SHADY for sure...
Arresting people without a trial...plus Quincy acting real weird...
5. *Heavy sigh*
For FUCKS sake, Quincy....
The good ol' "I'm going to act cold and distant towards you and not tell you what the hell is going on, but it's only for your own protection!!" trope....
Quincy. Pal. My big ol' buddy. Come here for a sec. Lean in real close.
....
THAT SORT OF SHIT NEVER WORKS OUT. IT ONLY CAUSES A FUCK TON OF MISUNDERSTANDINGS AND JUST MAKES THE SITUATION MORE MESSY.
I swear to god....UGH....
6. YASSSS BITCH!!!! WE FINALLY GOT A GOOD EIDEN OUTFIT!!!!
I'm sure, but the lost 2 events were a huge let-down for me.
THIS ONE THO....
YES. I fuck with it.
7. ( -_- ) *Heavy sigh #2*
Quincy.... I think it's painfully obvious what he's doing....
What did I tell you??? Not communicating only makes shit messier.
Because SOMEONE wouldn't tell Eiden and Edmond what the FUCK is going on here, he's got no choice but to figure it out himself--or just, insert himself into the situation so you're FORCED to tell him.
UGH.... Quincy, you're killing me here.....

"Hey Ed," Blackjack said, on one fine day. "You can breathe underwater...right?"
"You've seen me swim, Blackjack," said Edmond in his typical sullen tone. He sat morosely, hunched forward in observation of the plains of tall grass before him. Their teammates were hard at work bopping Zigzagoon for experience, and Edmond watched them jog around while lost in deep, bleak thoughts.
"Well then what are you?" Blackjack sat back on his haunches with his leafy tail spread wide to catch the sunshine.
"What do you mean?"
"Well all this time I had guessed that you were some kinda lizard, like me," Blackjack patted his chest with pride. "But if you breathe underwater would that make you more like a frog?"
"He's a kappa!" Megan called out to them from over in the tall grass. "Like a mythical...turtle...cucumber monster! When we find a Water Stone I'm gonna turn him into a pineapple!" Her words made no sense to the two lads, and were thusly ignored.
"Nnnnyeah kind of like a frog," Edmond shrugged, "Actually, no, I have gills so maybe more like a fish."
"No!" Blackjack chuckled, "I'm never gonna believe you're a fish. I don't see any gills!"
"Oh they're under my hat," Edmond regretted his words while they were still leaving his mouth. He turned and shrunk away from his curious companion, perhaps he could escape before--
"That's a HAT?!" Too late. Blackjack had his grabby little talons on Edmond's lilypad in an instant. "This comes off???"
"No! No!!!" Edmond kicked at the great idiot lizard but to no avail. "Never touch! Don't you dare!!!"
Blackjack chuckled and engaged in a little play-struggle, ended in moments by a fierce Ice Beam to his face. Ah, he was serious. "Sorry, sorry, I'll never touch." He shuddered off the cold, "but I learned something today. Thanks, Ed." And he stole curious glances at Edmond's head for the rest of the day.
Bonus: I checked Bulbapedia to see if any dex entries mentioned the Lotad line having gills or frog skin or something else. and they didn't tell me anything, but I did learn this:
Ha ha, I didn't realize this when I started developing Edmond's character, what the hell
#doodles#pokemon#edmond's emerald gijinka journey#not gijinkas though#lombre#sceptile#in gijinka form my lotad-line characters have bald spots under the hat and they are very sensitive about it#i think in pokemon form the lilypad doesn't come off and by 'under the hat' we mean there's gills around the base of it#so don't try to take it off
