[shadebloopnik]

This is gonna sound SOOO off or smthn but

Was the Perfect Family Harmony planned to be a weapon against the Bergens?

Long post ahead bc brain is rotting

Ok so as we know, the Perfect Family Harmony is smthn that's so powerful that its capable of shattering diamonds. Not just that but its one of the only thing capable of doing so(according to Floyd it was the only thing but giving the benefit of the doubt)

So we know its strong, and we saw it blasting off Velvet and Veneer off their platforms when they performed it, and they weren't even the targets, they were blasted away by just the shockwave that came with using it.

"Its that powerful."

Ok, so its definitely powerful enough to be used as a weapon right? Yeah it was relatively safe enough to use in front of a crowd, else they wouldn't have tried to do it during a concert, but that could just be when those harmonizing aren't targeting anything.

If it could shatter diamonds, how easily could it break cages? What would it do if it was used to target a Bergen? A whole Kingdom of Bergens?

Lets also go back to that concert, to that time John was obsessed with them getting it right. They were in the Troll tree, in Bergentown, a place where any of them could die during Trollstice. The Bergens were a huge threat, something that trolls, at their size, couldn't fight back against normally so they had to run instead right?

But what if they COULD fight back? What if they had a weapon so powerful that it might finally be able to free them? To defeat the monsters that tortured their kind for centuries?

What if John Dory found a way to help make sure nothing would threaten his brothers' safety ever again?

Like, it'd make John Dory's obsession make SOOO MUCH MORE SENSE

Like yea he clearly has OCD and anxiety and some bossiness and that definitely added to it all, but imagine if it was more than that?

Look at him during that performance. He was in deep. He had a wild look in his eyes, a sort of deranged obsession to have everything be perfect no matter what. It wasn't healthy, it was scary, maybe even downright terrifying for his brothers who had to be subjected to it.

But you know what else he looked like?

Terrified

Man was scared out of his mind. His anxiety and stress levels were through the roof. He probably was one wrong tune away from hyperventilating.

What if it was bc it was so much more than the fans? What if he put the salvation of the entire troll-kind on his shoulders?

One wrong step meant they were nothing.

One wrong step meant disappointing the fans.

One wrong step meant letting down the kingdom.

One wrong step meant another troll getting eaten.

Thats why when they failed, John blew up. He took all of that self-hatred of failing to use that weapon to defeat the bergens and poured it all onto his brothers.

"I know we can reach the Perfect Family Harmony."

"What if we don't want to."

John Dory, blind to how and WHY his brothers didn't want to follow his lead, felt betrayed.

To him, all he's ever done was to ensure their safety, everything was for the greater good. He'd done everything he could, his goals slowly twisting him into a crazed obsession. To hear his brothers say they didn't want to help anymore might've struck a cord too much. If you'd noticed he actually looked really sad and hurt when they started bringing up how much they hated being in the band, but it slowly twisted to anger instead. Kind of in a like, "I tried doing everything for these shts and THIS is how they repay me???" way. He was so stressed and stuck in his own head with his failures that he just couldn't see what his brothers were trying to say.

So in a fit of impulsive rage, he left. To him it probably was like that rlly childish way of saying "Yea im leaving, good luck dealing with the Bergens while im goneee." You know? Like how kids runaway from home when they get angry or upset over every little thing but come back when they realize how stupid that was?

"Im not allowed to change."

And he DID come back. Who knows how long, but he did. Imagine how he must've felt seeing their empty pod in an empty tree, with the knowledge that he could've done something about it. The Perfect Family Harmony could've saved them. They could've used it to break the cage, to fight the Bergens. Hell, it could've been powerful enough to wipe out all the Bergens if they do so wished.

"Im the oldest, I have to be the leader."

He and his brothers were the only ones who'd ever gotten close to getting it right.

"Why do you think I moved into the middle of nowhere? So I didn't have to be in charge of anyone."

The village was counting on them. Counting on him. He let them down. He failed.

"Freeing the village Four little brothers is a lot of responsibility."

They could've gotten it. If only John did it right. If only John did it differently.

If only John Dory was Perfect

Okay but can we as a community start talking about Yuu snapping? Because like, I know every twst fan has thought about that moment.

That moment where everything, every single mask, every unfulfilled promise, every bridge made, everything. Is burnt to the ground by our hands, and we're left to stand in the middle of it all. Like being in the eye of a hurricane. Everything around you is destroyed, but you're left unscathed. For now, that is.

I also wanna talk about other characters reaction to the snap. We all know the first years, including Sebek who has his reservations, would be heartbroken and distraught at the sight of Yuu in a blind rage. Destroying all that comes close.

I think that's also what could cause Grim to overblot, he tries stopping Yuu or protecting them from the onslaught of other students magic and in turn he snaps too. Turning into an angry beast eager to destroy just like his master.

But also think about the people Yuu helped through their overblots. While Yuu isn't the closest to the overblot boys, I can't help but imagine that all of them held Yuu in high regard. So seeing Yuu snap like thats makes them think that all the work they did, all they progress they made, all the times they tried to change, it was for nothing. Because if someone as good as Yuu was unable to save themselves from a snap, who are they?

I could just be picking straws, but I think if Yuu ever actually snapped, it be a chain reaction if events that would lead the future of N.R.C. six feet under.

Just a thought...

[bloogers-boogers]

Thinking of an au where Lucifer is still the king of hell but in this world Adam was a mere sinner and not the ‘first man’ but the first ‘willingly fallen angel’. People will say wouldn’t that be untrue bc Lucifer yada yada,, but nah, Lucifer didn’t expect to fall, so willingly he didn’t, at least not in this au ~ so anyways…

Adam was never created as a human, he was an angel and had been friends with Lucifer before his fall. They were both seraphim! Though Adam was made a few ranks below Lucifer, God created him as the embodiment of perfection and beauty ~ so all angels admired him for how he looked and was praised by the creator, even Lucifer.

Lucifer at the time never considered Adam as something more than a brother just like all of the other angels they just saw each other like that? The knowledge of romance was an oddity or some type of supernatural feeling no one experienced at the time but God would mention about when it came in describing the first humans.

And they weren’t entirely close either. They were just connected being very pampered and favored by God.

Fast forward to Lucifer already being casted to hell and married to Lilith. They eventually heard of a fallen angel landed in hell (by a deadly sin, I would like to say it was Satan who informed Lucifer of this bc yk that’s a freaking fallen angel). So Lucifer was shocked of this revelation. After all, it’s been like a century since Lucifer and Lilith gathered angels to go against heaven and then be casted to live in hell for the rest of eternity.

When Lucifer tracked the angel down, it took a while until his eyes landed on Adam. Yup. The Seraphim Adam he once knew as the living perfection of God’s hands turned as a sinner.

Once Lucifer helps Adam, picking his unconscious body and taking him to his castle to get heal. Adam wakes up and was greeted with a bomb of questions by both king and queen of hell of why the hell was he here. In this case Adam refuses to tell them why he fell and flees to never be seen.

Leaving Lucifer and Lilith speechless because why, when, how???

Years pases by and the whole incident is long forgotten, just like Lucifer’s marriage.

So everything is basically the same except Lucifer is more of a king than being shut in his castle depressed. I feel having the influence of Adam back in heaven kinda toughened him up a bit bc he shared a lot of things in common and well, God’s love. So there was some sorts of jealousy involved just like competition. Also having Lucifer near by kinda just softened Adam a ton which made it easier for him to be too vulnerable in hell.

Lucifer is much more colder though. He doesn’t have Charlie in this Au but Adam sorta does? He has Abel who has a similar personality and ambitions. His dream is redemption and thats why nothing much changes aside from that. But without Charlie Lucifer just doesn’t have anyone, and like they say, nothing is more scarier than someone who has nothing to lose.

Adam has a strained relationship with his son because he’s so blinded by Abel’s mother who’s very abusive and who Abel distanced himself from (unaware Adam is actually trapped in her chains/ she owns his soul), so they rarely ever talk or see each other but Adam loves his son more than anything.

Abel isn’t Adam’s only son he has 15 biological children! And 56 adoptive ones (exorcists that in this au are hellborn orphans/ who aren’t necessarily currently living in his area or home but are his nonetheless) Vaggie, Lute, and more. Adam is an overlord! The most powerful in wrath and was allowed to leave pride by a deal he made with Lilith thousands of year before she kinda bailed on hell.

He and Lucifer did cross paths throughout that time which made the whole falling incident more easier to forget considering Lucifer was no longer interested in wanting to know why Adam fell and just respected his privacy. The deal he made with Lilith needed to be reinforced from Lucifer’s power so it was necessary for the king of hell to be involved and grant Adam’s wish to leave pride and join wrath instead (he’s still a pride citizen he just isn’t forced to be there like the rest of the sinners/ is basically the only one allowed to have left his ring).

But getting to the plot. So Lucifer starts getting a bunch of complaints of Abel’s hotel and all the trouble he’s making with heaven. And the angels aka Sera haven’t stopped pestering his ass about it so he goes and seeks for this ‘Abel guy’ he has no idea who’s about (or who’s daddy did this one belonged to) and surprise surprise Lucifer becomes Abel’s Alastor ~ he joins in the hotel (with all the intention on screwing it over) being a sponsor, and ofc to this Abel’s all enthusiastic having the actual king of hell ‘on his side’ giving him ‘support’ of his dreams yk

And you can imagine the rest aksbwksheks Loving the idea of Hell greatest dad being Lucifer taunting Adam for being a better dad than him and Adam feeling challenged (bc he kinda is)

❝she’s so beautiful, and i tell her everyday.❞ bruno mars

( 𝗌𝗒𝗇𝗈𝗉𝗌𝗂𝗌 ⋫ 𝖘𝖎𝖓𝖔𝖘𝖘𝖎 )  jj maybank x insecure!reader

𝐖𝐀𝐑𝐍𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐒 - talks of insecurity and self doubt if thats a triggering topic for some

authors note - quick head canon

✩  would constantly reassure you that you were the most beautiful girl he’s ever seen, even though you consistently say he only says that to be nice.

✩ he gets mad because of this because he wishes you could see yourself through his eyes. 

✩ would literally make a whole ass list one night if he was late home or something, and leave it on your bed saying all the things he loves about you.

✩ yeah i believe jj’s second love language is words of affirmation.

✩ lots of kisses.

✩ he would kiss all of your insecurities, as if his lips can make it all better and you appreciate him so much for it.

✩ by now, he knows when you’re over thinking because you always fidget with your fingers and pick at the skin around your thumbs when feeling anxious.

✩ whenever that happens he holds your hand. 

✩ literally can sense how overwhelmed you are, and he feels it even more because he hates how you feel like that. 

✩ once again, lots of reassuring and kisses.

✩ ❝what’s going on in that pretty head of yours, baby. tell me everything, let it out, i’m here.❞

✩ oh, and if he catches people making fun of you or your insecurities, he will fight.

✩ ❝jj! just calm down!❞

✩ ❝can’t believe them━━looking at you as if you aren’t the sexiest goddess ever, i’m gonna fuckin’ make them blind so they’ll never look at my pretty girl again, they don’t deserve to admire this.❞

✩ you think it’s so stupid, but you laugh it off with him. 

✩ he’s very touchy, as if you’re fragile. he just wants to make sure you know how much you’re worth.

✩ every time you look in the mirror and he sees you groan in frustration as you pick at the clothes on your body or tears form in your eyes on bad days, he comes up and wraps his arms around you from behind and reminds you how beautiful you are.

✩ he will do this literally right when you wake up.

✩ like, you could be waking up sweetly and suddenly, jj’s already in your face to tell you how beautiful you are and how much he loves and appreciates you.

✩ ❝morning, pretty girl.❞

✩ ❝you look so beautiful when you sleep, baby.❞

✩ more kisses.

✩ sometimes there are days when you feel good about yourself, and on those days jj does nothing but hype you up. he’s super encouraging.

✩ but he can also tell when you start to feel insecure again if your mood changes, and he will keep reminding you that you’re amazing and complement little things to hype you up like if he notices you’re wearing new brackets, necklaces, or trying a new hairstyle. 

✩ would definitely be the best photographer. 

✩ well━━maybe not.

✩ ❝oh my god, you look stunning, princess.❞

✩ ❝a dream━━❞

✩ ❝jj! are you even taking the goddamn photo!?❞

✩ ❝oh shit!❞

✩ and when he does, he’s too busy admiring you that the photos are terrible. they’re all blurry and uncentered.

✩ but he still agrees to keep them, unless you beg to delete them ofc🫶🫶

✩ if he’s taking photos on the polaroid camera, he’s totally making a banner of them when you get home.

a/n: remember, every single one of you is beautiful. looking a certain way to be pretty is bullshit, we wouldn’t all look different if that was true. we are all pretty in our own ways and when you’re feeling down, remember there’s someone in the world who would kill to look like you, or have one of your insecurities that you hate that others think are beautiful.

embrace yourself for who you are bae<3 bc you’re hot asf

also request anything!

synopsis — being wrapped around dongmin’s finger had a price, one you never thought you’d have to pay.

pairing — situationship!han dongmin x gn!reader

genre — angst

warnings — cheating-ish, taesan is a jerk, reader is somewhat ‘blinded by love’ (until they aren’t)

word count — 2.2k

notes — this was inspired by linger by the cranberries ! hope you guys enjoy <3 (i also listened to all too well 10 min version a majority of the time i wrote this so thats also a half-decent alternative)

the magnetic force that pulled you towards dongmin was inexplicable. there was something that both your heart and mind couldn’t resist—something that made him so alluring. it was as if all of the desire in the world was concentrated within the cells of his skin; even a mere brush against him harnessed the ability to spread his beautiful poison.

akin to most others, you couldn’t resist the temptation of beauty, even if it was tainted. once you’d pricked your finger on the venomous spindle, you fell into an everlasting slumber; one that took on the form of han dongmin.

your days resembled a night’s dream by virtue of dongmin’s new presence in your life. his aura exuded tranquility, and it seeped into your own. still moments were common with him, which led you to what you felt was a well-needed state of peace. you had thought that he symbolized what was constantly missing from your life: grounding.

in your eyes, he was nothing short of shade that shielded you from the blistering heat of a summer day. he reeled you back in when you’d float too high, forbidding you from suffocating in the fog of the clouds. he protected you from your own flame, preventing it from growing too big. he had provided a piece of himself that you never had yourself.

although he completed your puzzle, you had not the slightest idea of if you completed his. while all of your barriers were broken, his were built with the strongest steel. beyond the shield of his smile was something you couldn’t fathom, something out of your bounds.

even if the unknown tore you apart, everything within your reach was more than enough. he’d always put you back together with the kiss of his lips, and keep you whole with the intertwining of his fingers with yours. ignorance had brought you bliss, serving it to you on a gold-plated platter.

for all of everything intimate about you and dongmin, there wasn’t a label that you could plaster onto the two of you. there was nothing stronger than ‘we’ or ‘us’ that could define you. you teetered between ‘something’ and ‘nothing’, and you hoped for nothing more than to be something.

something was a craving that you couldn’t satisfy. something kept you up at night, and it occupied every one of your dreams, whether it be under the sun or moon. something was what carried you to the same park you and dongmin had met at, strolling in your lonesome on the same rock path two seasons later.

you were there in early spring, minutes before you and dongmin had met. you were walking through the path for a much different reason then, unaware of the meaning it’d hold months later.

you had found a wooden bench, putting your walk on pause as you sat down. you listened to the sounds of spring; the songs of birds, the march breeze, the families enjoying the day, and the crunch of the rocks becoming louder as someone had made their way towards you.

the moment you had turned your head to look was when your whole world shifted without you knowing. it was then that dongmin had made his very first appearance out of many in your life, and flashed you a very first smile in the same manner.

now, more than half a year later, it was you who was smiling at the memory. you stared down at the rock path, now covered in the warm autumn leaves. the sound of the crunch beneath your feet was different, each step leaving behind crushed leaves instead of dirtied rocks. everything had changed over the seasons, but the picture-perfect visual had stayed the same.

as you neared the bench you held close to your heart, your spirits lowered as you spotted a couple seated on it. they had their hands entwined, and you could hear them laughing together. you felt an envious pang in your chest, wanting nothing more than to be there with dongmin.

your steps became lighter, the couple’s conversation gradually becoming clearer. your face grew pale as you slowly came to a horrifying realization: you could recognize the boy’s voice anywhere—it was the same voice that belonged to the same boy you were there because of, the same voice that charmed you on that same bench months ago.

even with your silent begs for it to not be true, your heart dropped as his face came into view. dongmin was there, sat on the very bench your story had begun on, but with another girl; one that wasn’t—and would never be—you.

in that moment, your whole world shifted again, but you could feel it this time. you could feel your heart get crushed in the same way the leaves did, and you could feel your whole body go cold in the same way the autumn air was.

you felt heavy, heavy in a way that weighed you down both mentally and physically. your sorrow surpassed your feelings of envy by tenfold, and your feet felt too sunken into the ground to move. you weren’t nearly strong enough to, yet you were forced to carry the sudden baggage of everything that their simple gesture held.

that simple gesture that held the whole universe to you was so easily thrown out the window. what you knew now broke you, and what used to keep you whole was the culprit. knowledge brought you grief, serving it to you on a rusted platter.

too close to turn back and mind too clouded to think straight, you brought yourself up to dongmin. in the same way you had turned to him in spring, he turned to you now, expression unreadable.

everything felt all too familiar, and it scared you. it felt like a sick, twisted repeat of your meeting in march, and you didn’t know what you did to deserve it. you swore that you didn’t do anything to hurt him, yet he walked all over you as if you were the rock path.

“dongmin?” the vulnerability in your voice was clear, but his expression wasn’t.

dongmin sighed, and looked at the girl next to him. she was perplexed but compliant when dongmin slipped his hand out of hers, standing up. “i’ll be right back.”

as soon as he stood, he signaled you to follow him before walking off. you quickly began to trudge after him, guilt rising inside of you. you fiddled with your fingers, now regretting your confrontation.

dongmin led you far enough to where the bench was still in sight, but the abandoned girl wouldn’t be able to hear your conversation. as soon as he stopped, he turned to you, expression blank.

“what?” he stared you down, running a hand through his hair. when you didn’t say anything, he crossed his arms. “what’s the problem?”

you were just as dumbfounded as that girl; you thought it was clear as day why you were upset. “why—why were you holding her hand?”

he deadpanned. “i still don’t get it. why is that a problem?” his voice was painfully monotone, and for the first time, there was nothing beyond the surface.

he wasn’t upset with you, and that only pained you more. he didn’t care one bit, and that displayed just how little everything meant to him. even if he didn’t give it a second thought, you were still in so deep. even now, all you wanted was to be with him.

“because we’re a thing! we’re—” you stopped yourself short, realizing your mistake. you rewound to the sole reason you went to the park, the blood draining out of your face.

something; the one thing you never got from him. the one thing you endlessly longed for, but never came to fruition. your relationship with dongmin was the one bud that never blossomed back in spring, remaining dormant for months as if it were frozen in time.

the day you met dongmin was the closest to something you had ever gotten from him, and you were desperate to just feel as if you had it. you knew you’d never have it in your grasp, but even just the touch of your fingertips would be enough. instead of that, you were forced upon the truth; something that you never knew you’d face.

dongmin quirked an eyebrow. “we were never a thing,” he smiled at you, but it didn’t hold the same meaning it usually did. rather than comforting, it was mocking. for once, he resembled the dark surrounding the light; not the other way around.

all you could do was stand there, eyes slowly welling with tears. you hated that you were such a fool for him, almost as much as you hated how you were such a fool for the idea of being with him.

“god, don’t cry,” he sighed, throwing his head back lazily. “we’re nothing now, and we were nothing before. you never said it was a problem, so what do you even want?”

“you! i just want you!” your voice broke as your tears began to flow, emotions letting loose. “i always did, and i still do!”

“well, you have me—”

“obviously not, because if i did, we wouldn’t be having this conversation right now!” you were near yelling, but you couldn’t care less if people could hear. dongmin was the only problem you cared about, and you wanted to fight to solve him.

silence hung in the air, and everything felt frozen. the only thing that moved was dongmin’s chest, rising up then down while he breathed, each breath deeper than the last. even now, your moments with dongmin were still, except you felt all but at peace.

“this is insane—you’re insane,” dongmin breathed out, looking away so his face was against the breeze. “this seriously doesn’t matter, so get over it. talk to me when you’ve come to your senses.”

you and the silence broke all the same, rending further as he walked past you. his footsteps rang in your ears, and they were louder than anything you’ve ever heard. his departure was deafening, and your puddles of tears were blinding.

you felt suffocated, more by the loss of dongmin than the loss of your senses. he was everything to you, and you lost him over something. you were as upset at yourself as you were at him; you wondered how you could be so mindless. you thought nothing could go wrong, but in the end, everything did.

you didn’t know if anything was ever right in the first place. everything that felt off about dongmin gradually began to make sense, and the puzzle pieces reconfigured into a different picture, uglier than it’d ever been.

everything you couldn’t fathom about dongmin didn’t exist. every barrier he had built was translucent, and beyond it was nothing. every smile he gave you didn’t mean anything, since everything behind it was nothing. the previously unknown was nothing, because that was what you truly meant to him.

he ripped a chunk out of you that you’d never get back, leaving it to be nothing. nothing was what was left of your heart; what once beat was broken by the boy it thrived for. nothing would be a taunt; a constant reminder that that was what you were to dongmin all along.

in reality, he was nothing short of the one rain cloud on a perfectly sunny day. he cut your wings, forbidding you from leaving the ground he cursed. he extinguished your flame, making it nearly impossible to reignite it. the piece of himself he provided to you before was now a parasite, intoxicating you from the inside out.

even in your sorrow-drunk daze, you knew that you had woken up from the dream that was too good to be. you escaped the everlasting slumber, and the spell was finally broken. although, your cure wasn’t a fairytale’s true love’s kiss; it was something of the opposite nature.

dongmin’s ‘beautiful’ poison had finally caught up to you, and it was less pretty than you’d thought it was. even so, you still couldn’t resist the temptation, even if he was irreversibly tainted. you wished for just one more look at your nightmare disguised as a daydream, so you made it come true.

you turned around, and your tear-blurred eyes trained on dongmin like it was a second nature. as if it were a third, you focused on his hand, intertwined with another. you didn’t have to question who it was, as the answer came as a fourth. you could almost ignore the feeling of your heart break at the thought, as it’d broken enough times for it to be a first nature.

you felt all but wanted, and in its place was the burning pain of feeling used. beyond your pain was everything that you couldn’t get rid of, including dongmin’s strong presence in your heart. you were still wrapped around his finger, despite the scars you’d always have to carry because of him. you knew that—even though there was nothing left—something would always linger.

acotar hot take

there seems to be this really intense polarization with anti-tamlin readers and pro-tamlin readers where most (but not all) antis will be like haha tampons the worst and deserved everything he got, fuck that guy, what a creep, and most pros (but not all) are like he did nothing wrong!!! there are so many double standards!!! look at all the hypocrisy!!!

and like i feel like not only is it more nuanced than that, but the narrative is more interesting because of that nuance. "Tamlin ONLY did wrong things" is untrue, but "Tamlin didn't do anything wrong!" is also untrue. He did a lot of things wrong, he put his mate in danger, he didn't foster any kind of proper communication with her, he was controlling and paranoid and just because he was traumatized doesn't mean his actions were justified. But he also did a lot of things that weren't necessarily bad that were later construed as bad following his shift in character, sometimes even by the characters in the books themselves, which...doesnt really make sense to me. Just because someone starts doing bad things, it doesn't negate the good things they've done in the past, or change their reasoning for their actions at the time. But just because someone may be misunderstood or taken at face value doesn't mean they were actually innocent the whole time, too.

To deny the parts of his character that are written to invoke sympathy in the reader is sort of closeminded, but to deny that he was abusive is an equally blind narrative to follow. That said, sympathizing with him doesn't make you an abuser by proxy. You know, its okay to feel more than just "this guy good" or "this guy bad" about a dimensional, multifaceted character. Like, thats kind of the whole point of morally gray characters.

Ive said it before, but Rhys always being toted as the exemplary morally gray character feels so weird when tamlin is an equally good example of a morally gray character, if not more, but is often completely shunted to the side as this irredeemable, heartless asshole.

i hope this doesnt hurt anyones feelings, but am i making any sense?

[obsidianpen]

ello ello ello!

been re-reading ng for so many times that im going insaine HAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

-so! my nerdy side decided to write some things for now ?also I noticed the lack of comments on most posts? I would reallllly like for nerdy side of tumbler to join me on this journey :)

drum roles please may I present:

overanalysing everything in ng till I die or it ends (hopefully the former happens first cuz I cant imagin it ending)

spoilers and all that but I mean does anyone have chapters left? good for em ig lol

NUMBER 1: Harry's sudden ability to sense magic

we are first introduced to it when V blinds harry, after showing him the stars and the sky (im pretty sure V is a astrophile at this point) and harry feels Narcissa’s magic ‘’…felt…indigo, It was a subtle shift, a gentle one. apprehensive and…concerned. ‘’

and so it begins! harry is able to sesnse no only magic from there but recognize emotions through it as well. And his newfound ability is something omnipresent that helps both us-the reader- and harry himself to understand more.

let the quastions begin:

1-when did this magic lens come to be?

At first I though it was becuse of the new eyes V gives him and was something intended, but NO! story tells us that the blindness was a temporary result of the red eyes. basied on Narcissa’s comment on harry’s eyes. ‘’…they were just like your mother’s ’’ his eyes were indeed red, even while he was blind. (we also saw it from Vs eyes)

however…did his eyes transform to red the secend he was blinded? or did this happen -inbetwen/the same time- as one of the gifts ? As Narcissa’s first reaction to harry opening his eyes seemed like an over reaction to me if his eyes weren’t bloodied, and only difference was a red iris instead of a green one?

but but but ! while it came to be the same time as the whole blind era, that dosent seem to be the only factor here since its quite obvious that Lord Voldemort himself doesn’t have that power… 2- so if its somehow related to the eyes, why tf doesnt Voldemort have that power??? while I can bring hundreds of references, its crystal clear that V can’t sesnse shit like harry does, like how he can’t find him when has closed his eyes + under the invisibility cloak and many other times which im to lazy to go and find rn lol.

but honestly why tf dosen’t V have it? its quite the mystery!

while it removed the need for glasses and gave harry perfect vision, there hasn’t been anything mentioned bout a super vision? no being able to see extra details ? nought nil nada nothing?? and most ppl have perfect vision TR included???

‘’do you have any idea the intricare nature of what I did to blind you, and what I had to do to impart on you superior sight? Your corrected vision is a gift ‘’

why would tom riddle go through a very complex ritual just to have…like 0.5 point more vision? with nothing additional ? no extra sensing magic free on the house? thats kinda odd…

thats all for now? please tell me what you think and pen my lord dont you answer with that side eye emoji XD

side note worth mentioning here: so we know V couldn't change his eyes, even with harry’s soul. And we all know what he promised harry in case he tapped into their connection without permission…GIVING HARRY HIS EYES BACK WHICH HE CAN’T!!!…ehem so something somthing something? EHEM assassination? or elixir overdose? leads to something something which makes V tap into that to save harry? so many possibilities AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

ps: this did not help me calm down, I really need a calming drought with extra rosemary rn

Also tumbler fucked all my italica and bolds but ehhhhh idk imagin them on your own XD

okay but instead of answering anything, I will add a point to consider: Harry sees/perceives/feels magic better with his eyes closed

Definitely not an attempt to change your mind about the scene or how it makes you feel, I also have my own characters and scenes I can't be sympathetic about for my own reasons (Mahiru and Kirumi come to mind). Just wanted to talk a bit about how it makes me feel and why.

I don't necessarily think that thinking the "You're alone and you always will be" was deserved has to be at odds with being sympathetic toward Kokichi. I think it was entirely deserved and that's part of why it hurts for me on a deep and personal level. Kokichi did it to himself, he pushed everyone away and made them hate him on purpose, he has no one to blame but himself. When I think about the lengths he went to in order to make the others hate him, and I imagine that in the context of a VR style post-game that's when it becomes an emotional punch in the gut for me. At the time his own emotional needs and feelings didn't matter and in a way he was self sabotaging by hurting others without needing to really think about the potential long term effects, but after all is said and done, if Kokichi had to realize that he's still alive and now he has to deal with the consequences of pushing everyone away, that's when it hurts. He's alone and he did it to himself and he can't blame anyone if they want nothing to do with him, and that's exactly why I can emphasize as someone who once lashed out and pushed people away because I was hurting, it gets to me because if someone said that to me it might break me, maybe even more if I fully deserved it.

I can totally see what you mean! Kokichi's self sabotage and isolation are really really interesting to me. Its part of why in my own vr post-game headcanons he makes himself hard to find, unable to cope with having to face the consequences of everything he did and also no longer able to keep up as strong of a facade (it broke down beyond repair in the exisal hanger, he's just too tired now).

Through how you're describing it, I can see why this scene can be so good for Kokichi angst. And this is kinda what I meant by "besides the angst that only lives in my head" (i guess not only mine!)- exploring it as something that just further drove the wedge between him and the group and worsened his self isolation- or as a consequence to what he had been doing to himself, still cutting deep- thats cool! I want to see more of it!

I guess it comes down to the fact that most fan art I've seen about this moment that focuses on Kokichi as the sympathetic figure rubs me wrong for a couple key reasons. One is just because of my own personal emotional experience of ch4, I find it Extremely difficult to connect with art sympathizing with him during this chapter. Before and after I can do it, but I get too blinded by everything that happened to Gonta in ch4 to really sympathize with him in the moment.

The second thing is the delivery. The work that triggered that post last night was a comic of Shuichi berating himself for ever saying something like that to kokichi- cause god forbid Kokichi face any consequences for the things he did, right? Cause everyone should immediately forgive him and he should be treated as a saint, right? Sorry, I just think it ignores the very interesting exploration possible in Kokichi having to overcome his self-isolating tendencies and realize that its okay to rely on others, or that he needs to face the things he did and how he hurt people. This is a trend I see a lot in older (2017-2019ish) v3 fanworks that is a massive pet peeve of mine in general. Kokichi should be allowed to have the flaws the he has, cause fanworks that explore them are SO GOOD.

I've also unfortunately seen it in a lot of older kokichi fanworks that feel OOC to me, where he like, goes back to his room and cries his eyes out over how mean shuichi was to him, or other things along those lines. It goes so against my own view of how Kokichi experiences his emotions (extreme repression! "Hit the reset button on your feelings and you'll feel okay in no time", anyone?) that it makes me black out from cognitive dissonance.

So yeah, I really like how you described it anon!! I wish more fanworks actually got into that moment in this way.

How did Weirdmaggedon go in Mabel's Muse AU?

Also, any little fun facts? Like, how Mabel met Bill? :3

hiiii thank you for asking!!!!! but to be honest, i dont.....entirely know yet ^^" but i can tell you everything i know so far!!

i assume you mean the resolution of weirdmageddon, as thats about the only thing that changes. other than the fact that mabel is participating in the chaos! she has no idea that everything is as awful as it really is, and stan and dipper know that, because they know she doesnt have a malicious bone in her body. before ford was captured, the last thing he tells dipper is that its probably her goggles that are blinding her. they just have to get her rose-colored-glasses off

so i think them breaking into the fearamid would go about the same!! dipper and stan unfreeze ford, find mabel, and try to talk her into taking off the goggles herself, to which she refuses. when bill gets back, he tries to convince her to keep them on, and to keep playing with him and his friends. its probably ford who ends up getting through to her (both because she learns that the stuffed version of him has been him the whole time, meaning bill lied to her, and because he apologizes for shying away from her initially)

she takes her glasses off, and sees the real state of the town, and is instantly horrified that she allowed any of this to happen...she teams up with her family, her and dipper cause a distraction, the stans switch, etc etc the rest all goes the same :p

as for how mabel and bill met, i think it happened around pilot era!! honestly maybe around the events of/right after the gobblewonker ep? she discovers him in a similar way that ford does; she trips and falls into a cave, and finds inscrptions in the wall about bill. she reads them out loud, nothing happens, and then he starts showing up in her dreams!

just finished thinking about silvercandle angst SND THEN I HAVE TO SEE LIAM ANGST??? WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT DEOM ME(?? IM JUST A GIRL IN THE WORLD THATS ALL YOULL LET ME BEEEEE CAUSE IM JUST A GIRL LIVING IN CAPAVITY

IGH ive been thinking anoht liam for so long

spoilers for hfjONE

Because when he left ONE he was alone and considered dead for how long he was missing.

He had no one

He had nothing

All he had left was the memories of ONE

Realistically his best ending would’ve been if he had put it all behind him and never looked back, but he would always feel Airy’s presence on his back I think. The mystery of ONE and who Airy was would’ve haunted him. Even if he didn’t go back and get himself trapped where Airy was, he would never have really escaped ONE.

He would be forever wondering what was it, especially if Airy stole Owen after that. He would know what happened if he decided to get in contact with Owen.

He would feel the regret of not finding out who Airy was, of wasting Rock’s hints, of turning a blind eye to Owen’s disappearance, of leaving Ameila behind. Even if he didn’t get lost like he did in the end, he would’ve been trapped by his own mind and memories.

Him trying to find out who Airy was cost him his life, but him being put into ONE had already sealed his fate. He was never going to be the same person, he was there for seven months, how do you just go back to normal after that?

We see this with Bryce, how he just shoves it all aside and just, continues with life. Yes, he still wonders what it was, but he never made an effort to find out. In fact, even if Liam never went to find out, Byrce would’ve never notice Airy taking the girl that works with him. Liam knew Owen well and he would’ve noticed, but Byrce didn’t know her well.

Bryce was also only trapped for a week.

Bryce had very little to lose to ONE, he could move on. Nothing was changed except him. He was there for a week and the person Airy wanted to take that he knew was someone Bryce wasn’t very close to.

Liam could never, everything had changed for him. He was gone for seven months and declared dead. He would know that Owen was gone and known exactly where he was. ONE took everything from him, and he had nothing but ONE, which is why he became so obsessed with finding Airy.

Thats why Bryce and Liam never understood each other. Bryce thought of Liam as an obsessed person who just simply couldn’t let go, and Liam saw Bryce as someone who didn’t care at all.

I think when Bryce got put back into ONE after meeting up with Liam again, I think he understood Liam more. What he meant about having nothing other than ONE

[Its prolly time I make a pinned for this account, no?]

Welcome, ladies, gentlemen and the technicolor rainbow in between, to the hellfire of cacophonous nonsensical words said by characters from another man that is not I! For I don't know how to be original!! Wahoo!!!!

I'll take submissions using any of the characters made/used by Chonny Jash! That includes the 4 from Vol 1, anyone from Gothic Whore & maybe some for the Power Hours! I myself will post ones involving Heart Mind Soul & Whole, since I understand them better. But! Submissions of the others are greatly appreciated & encouraged :}

[Not that it rlly matters but me pronouns be He/It/Soul & you can call me KJ or Atlas]

I take submissions! All I ask is you follow these rules :}

———————

1. Obviously nothing offensive. Nothin racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist etc. etc. Just be a decent normal human being lol

2. Adding onto that, nothing thats especially ableist about or towards Heart. Nothing that's insulting or making fun of him being blind or anything related to that.

3. No NSFW!!! These characters may be adults and I may be an adult however there's a lot of younger peeps here! Plus, CJ is uncomfy with that & I am as well. [Nothing thats suggestive either]

4. No quotes that involve shipping between Heart Mind & Soul [or Jash looking/based characters]. Also likely no family ones either. Just so its neutral enough that anyone with any type of headcanons can read them and it not be weird. Platonic ones are perfectly fine though.

5. Please don't baby or infantilize Heart. You can make him goofy & lighthearted, but theres a point in which you make him seem overly childish or dumb. He may be the emotional side but hes still an adult.

6. Headcanons about Whole need to be about the character in the album but not irl CJ himself or anything about his life. Same also applies to the Power Hours & the singles.

7. Please refrain from adding too many color changes in quotes! Stick with just the names at the start and not every use of the name in speech or pronoun. Just so everythings easier to read :}

8. You can submit text or pictures! You can even specify if you want something put into a texting chat, discord messages or a twitter post. I have apps that I can imput those into.

———————

Also! Sometimes I or others will use alt names for HMS and I figure I'll list them here in case anyones confused [also includes their name colors]:

Heart- Juno or Artemis

Mind- Ciro or Apollo

Soul- Atlas

Whole- Whole

Thats all for now! Have fun :}

Random thought I had: While most members of the Brotherhood of Makuta can be seen to have behaviors that are the antithesis to the Three Virtues (much like pretty much all the villains that were actual characters rather than mooks), I feel an argument could be made that some of them are perversions of the Three Virtues, and act as example of the negative effects clinging extremely to a virtue can have.

Unity is by far the trickiest since like many Bionicle villains most of the BoM dont really get along with each other and in fact are at each others throats, but I feel that Gorast and/or Antroz is the most fitting. Both of them are fanatically loyal to Teridax and are devoted to his cause. Their loyality towards Teridax ends being a major flaw however, as they didnt see how their leader was just using them and would discard them til it was little bit too late. Gorast is arguably the better fit since she is more defined by her loyalty towards Teridax and her blind loyalty directly led to her death as she refused to listen to Krika or Icarax warning her about Teridax, instead believing in Teridax and the Plan til the very end. That said either are good fits in my opinion.

While he isnt technically a Brotherhood member anymore, Miserix definitely fits the best as pervesion of Duty. I have spoken about this before, but I believe Miserix can be read as being largely defined by his loyality towards his duty as a protector of the Matoran Universe. To Miserix, duty isnt just his purpose in life bit rather his whole identity, it's everything he stands for, everything he is. So, when Teridax strips him of his duty, Miserix loses all his sense of self and personhod. He was so tied to his duty, he became nothing. Is it wonder the guy snapped and became a ragefilled murdeous monster by the time we see him in the actual story? But not only that, it could be argued that Miserixs fanatical devotion to his duty was his downfall as I wouldn't be surprised if thats a big reason Teridax wanted to overthrow him in the first place. Sure, Teridax was a powerhungry controlfreak with a god complex and desire for total domination of the MU, but I wouldn't be surprised if part of the reason for his coup had to do with his disatisfaction in how Miserix ruled things. I also wouldn't be surprised if Miserix one tracked way of viewing duty affected in how he ruled the Brotherhood, especially when considering what the canon tells us about his rule. So yeah, in more ways than one, Miserixs devotion to his duty led to why he became what he became.

Lastly, Krika can be read as the pervesion of Destiny. Krika is a fatalist, who believes that he is doomed to be evil because of his nature as a Makuta. While Krika does rebel against Teridax and the Plan to an extent, he never tries to change his own Destiny. Instead, Krika has accepted his lot in life: sure he laments it but ultimately he doesnt do anything to change it. Krika believes his role and purpose in the universe is set in stone, and thus doesnt do anything to revolt it. Interestingly enough, Krikas last act of warning Gorast is a act of defying his destiny as he actively tries to warn his kin of their death. Though in a cruel twist of fate, when Krika tried to defy destiny and be a good person, he faced his own death. Its as ironic as it is poetic.

All in all I find these three (technically four) characters representing the logical extreme of the Three Virtues really fascinating. It makes Bionicles moral framework much more complex, as it shows that its virtues aren't automatically good, and in fact can lead to distrasrous results if acted to extreme. All these characters ultimately fall because of how extreme they are with the virtue associated them:Gorast and Antroz fanatical loyalty to Teridax is what leads to them being betrayed him without even realizing, Miserixs devotion to his duty is why he gets overthrown and goes mad after loosing his sense of purpose and identity and Krikas fatalist worldview is why he refuses to change his ways and redeem himself in spite of hating his role as a villain. Its all so poetic in a tragically ironic way and just one of the many things that make Bionicle so fascinating to analyze and re-examine in spite of its seemingly simplistic writing.

ITS OVER

Warning: Throwing up, Heartbreak, Sad

Why me? I never wanted this to happen. Everything was fine a few days ago and now? Its all over…

Why did he do this to me? I gave him my heart.. he played with my feelings. He let me feel special for a amount of time and now? Now I’m broken.

Why? This is the question I asked myself for quite a while now. Why me? What did I do wrong? Was I… annoying? No.. i was myself the entire time..

Maybe he got sick of my face.. but why did he tell me I have a face he could stare at for a long time? Did he really just play with me? i should’ve never gave him a second chance after everything he did at first but.. love made me blind.

I remember everything like it was yesterday.. it’s still fresh… it still hurts pretty bad.. but hey.. life goes on right?

A few weeks later I sat with a few Ghouls at the table, eating a little. Since this day, I almost ate nothing. Alpha, a former ghoul was always watching out for me. Making sure that I ate something thats why I’m right here now.

I actually don’t like it here because HE is also there, looking at me from time to time. I felt sick.. like throwing up. Thats why I stood up and speed walked out of the door, to the bathroom.

A few minutes later, I heard someone knock at the door, I was silent, actually I don’t want someone near me at the moment cause I could break down any minute. But the person on the other side wasn’t giving up anytime soon. So I got up, washed my face and cleaned my mouth before opening the door. Looking into the eyes of Rain.

„I know this is a stupid question but.. Y/N are you okay? Please talk to me..“ he said and hugging me after I left the bathroom door open. I immediately returned the hug. „No.. i am not okay. He broke my fucking heart I wish he would burn in Hell“ i said but immediately regreted it. I hate him but deep inside I still love him and thats what hurts the most. I wish I could just forget.

But when you have to live in the same place, it was kinda hard to forget. Rain let go off me and wiped my tears away. I didn’t know they were there in the first place.

„I know it’s hard. It hurts me to see you like this. Why don’t you leave for a few days? Maybe this will help you. I even can ask sister Imerator if soneone can come with you, maybe Sunshine or Aurora.. so you don’t have to be alone“ he suggested but I shook my head no. „No.. its oksy I dont want to run away from my feelings I have to get through this.“ i smiled and we went back.

„Can you.. at least tell me what happened between you two?“ he asked, i sighed deeply vut agreed. He was like a brother always there for me.. like Alpha. We went for the common room, at this time of the day, nobody was there. We went to the couch taking a seat.

„I actually don’t know what really happened but He ignored me at some point. I asked him whats wrong but he never answered me. I wrote so many letters because he wasn’t talking to me but I never got a letter back why he is like this. I even asked Aether about it but he also didn’t know a thing but he saw the change. It was a few days lster when I found out, he was back with the other Sister who dumped him. I don’t know why.. it hurts when I think about it. Rain what did I do wrong? Is it my face? Is it my personality? My body? What is it? Am I not good enough for him?“ i looked down while asking him.

I know I am enough, I’m me and nobody is like me but why did he do this? Was I just.. some random girl he wanted to have fun with because he wanted to forget about the oter sister? Maybe.. but i am no toy. I wish I never met him.

„Oh Y/N… i didn’t know… he always said he wanted to be near you.. he wanted your attention and everything. But I never thought he would be like this after having your attention. I will kill him for sure.“ now rain sounded pissed. I never saw him like this. He was always calm… shy even but this is new to me.

„No rain.. leave it. I know I will get my chance for revenge I have to wait.. but in another way I don’t want revenge, i still want to be a part of his life and I don’t even care if I’m a friend or but but I know this will never happen. I know I should not be this stupid about someone who broke my heart.. but i can’t help it..“ i sighed leaning back and closing my eyes. I’m just exhausted.

„I definitely gonna talk to him. You know what? Rest for a bit.. I’m gonna talk to sister imperator that you‘re sick. Just… dont do something stupid.. i know you will“ he sniled slightly and I nodded. Im too exhausted to fo something stupid. My personality changed after this happened with Sodo… and I hate it.

Maybe… my old self will come back.. at some point.

[peachywritesstuff]

Ok so I said that i was gonna be on a hiatus but I just wanna speak some more since I woke up to more stuff so one here and on Twitter. I'm just gonna use my blog to talk about this more. Again, my messages are open but state your opinion kindly as I am stating mine and my status.

Being neutral means that you are in the middle. You are seeing both sides of the story but in this case we only know one side, the victims. Some of yall are reslly quick to throw around the word rapist apologist when people just wanna stay neutral and wait for his side. Sorry that some people don't wanna go off of Twitter and wait for a official statement. And I'm sorry it makes them seem like heartless beings but that are being neutral

NEUTRAL:not helping or supporting either side in a conflict, disagreement, etc.; impartial.

Some of yall are being w e i r d for saying people who are neutral are defending him and are delusional and blind like what??? Sorry that some people want to wait and hear Percy's side before debating anything. Yes there is 'evidence' but quite frankly as i said in my last post it all seems thrown together. And one person doesn't want to release more evidence because its scary and he is a celebrity but also wants people to share and repost it?? Hate to be that type of person but its too late for that now so you might as well release ALL of the evidence ao everyone can see it. What's the point of keeping the evidence to yourself?? That confuses me. NEUTRAL people are not helping,yes they hear them and their thoughts are with them but they are not going around saying how Percy belongs behind bars,or saying anything about Percy. They are just simply pointing stuff out.

We haven't heard shit from nobody on Percy's side. People are taking his silence for guilt but people can't seem to use their noggins and put together that his social media is out of his hands now. Yes he is an asshole we know that now, he said a slur we know that now, he played with a girl's heart we know that, the sa part is where things are iffy.

Everytime I go on Twitter and there is something else that has been added and then another part not adding up. THIS is all we got ok guys? TWITTER is all we got. And one person doesn't even want to release more evidence. TWITTER is what we will have for a few days which sucks because Twitter is becoming a hot mess EVERYTHING IS A HOT MESS! So some of yall can not blame people for being neutral. Because on Twitter everything is become iffy.

Some of yall think they are ignoring the victims. Which is not the case. They are acknowledge their stories and experiences BUT they are also acknowledgeing their own OPINIONS. Idk if some of yall like to hear this but weather you like it or not but...SOME STUFF DONT ADD UP!! Which is why they are waiting for the OFFICIAL STATEMENT. That's not a bad thing at all. Some of yall just throwing the word racist apologist around with ease when people just genuinely don't want to pick sides until both sides have statements. Some people don't want to follow things from Twitter or dont feel comfortable taking the information from an App where things are known to be.... off, and THATS FINE!!!

I mean I don't blame them at all. I myself is neutral and everything is just a mess. Let's just accept that we are not going to change people's opinions on the matter but they ARE allowed to voice it and it's your decision if you want to interact with it. As i said before, some stuff aint adding up so people are waiting for Percy's side. Nothing wrong with that at all. I'm tired of people calling other people who are remaining neutral awful names for not automatically going on the victims side. Stop calling people heartless or rapist apologist just because they haven't picked a side. Because they are remaining NEUTRAL. Not everybody is taking the situation the same way and some of yall are gonna have to respect that and not blow up when they don't have the same opinions or status as other people do.

People WILL have their opinions and their own status on where they stand and no matter how wrong it looks or how stupid it sounds you can not change it.

[s0lar-ch3ri]

apologies for being less active now, school started up like a bitch (take a thinkies post, possible spoilers ahead)

what if gill and chip like swapped "moral" codes in a sense. gillion lies about who he is and what the underseas like and shit as to hide from the truth and out of fear for what happens if he doesnt (could also be some form of rebellion of the elders treatment of him). hes still a heroic and "honorable" to the public eye, yet he has a bit more fear. fear that his friends will find out and he'll be exiled again but it will feel oh so much worse because as time goes on it eats away at gill more that hes getting closer to them so he has more to lose. fear that one day hell have to pick between the truth or someones life or something and at first, while theres a little doubt, he feels confident that hed sacrifice them for his sharade to be kept. but, as gillion keeps being the hero, the lovable "idiot" (GILLION IS NOT AN IDIOT HES JUST CONFUSED ON OVERSEA CULTURE NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK OF HIM ALRIGHT??), he wants to actually be the character he plays, because he wants to go back to (or actually be, up to you) being an undersea hero, maybe even just a hero for both worlds, and he no longer can find himself able to sacrifice one for his own safety/comfort, and it scares him how much hes changing. yet, he'd keep lying, because the one with nothing to lose doesnt want his "only" strength to be proven false too.

and chip? why would he be more honest? he probably wouldnt, lets be honest, hes chip bastard for asters sake! well, maybe he could lie less, but i doubt hed give it up entirely. so how would he work? well, with how much others have helped him not just survive but live, he finds it more comforting to put trust in them. he'd lie to protect others, hed lie to get out of a situation where theyre in danger, but he doesnt prefer it. he chooses trust, not exactly blind but by the gut feelings (to add some mystery around niklaus, hed be one of the few people he couldnt find a single trusting vibe) he uses like a compass. is he still a bit of a coward? absolutely! he could even be seen as a bit more careless with it, thinking more how to get this to end with all them safe rather then keeping them safe in the moment.

the reason they duel? obvious of course, but gillion is revealed to have lied. some gamble in the casino battle causes gillion to have to say it. and chip is fucking stunned, because he didnt have to help gillion. he didnt need to pick him up from the sea that day. how long was he lying to him, the captain (at that point, chip was indeed the captain) of the ship that gave him water for his gills? how long was he planning on keeping it? chip dioesnt care. the next day, he immedately confronts gillion for it. gillion says similar arguements he does in canon, but more so as reasoning as to why he did it rather then why chip shouldnt have. and chip isnt having a word of it.

im not sure if gill would still win, or by some magic, chip would win this time. each would be dramatic. gillion winning, yet not wanting to finish it, and chip telling him ("orders from your fucking captain gillion tidestrider." and when that doesnt work? "orders from your once friend gill.") that the only way hed let this slide is if he finished the job. chip winning by a thread, fueled only by rage at his betrayal, and he has gillion at the end of his sword and he looks into his eyes and just, "get off my ship, gillion. get out of here before i change my fucking mind with mercy." jay steps in, with her whole speech and everything, and everything plays out the same (yeah i could never change the hot sauce prank).

AND MAKE NO MISTAKE! CHIP STILL GIVES THE FLAG BOOBS AND THOSE KINDS OF PRANKS! thats just because the crew (every once in a while gill doesnt understand it) gets its a simple joke and its chip bastard! why wouldnt he?

these are my thoughts but you guys add your own shit to it id love to see it
