Phoenix was one of the many places you had marked on your list of places to visit this summer before you went back into hibernation for school. You had made a stern promise to yourself that you would get out of the house more and become less of a homebody.

Solo trips and dates became a common factor when venturing out. Being by yourself wasn't the downfall of your vow, you didn't mind being solo, peace rained throughout your mindset as you found solace within your life.

Stepping up to the venue, the windows deeply tinted, allowing the smallest bit of view to see from the outside. On the side, cars were aligned in unison, Mercedez, Maybach's, and Range Rover's easily toppling over thousands of dollars.

Reaching out to open the small double doors, you were met with a security guard who looked everything but amused, towering over your frame aimlessly. His eyes red and low quickly scanning over your attire. He began to nod slowly to himself, pondering with his own thoughts.

Speaking up with a ragged tone "Oh you must be one of their girlfriends right?" his head motioned behind him, revealing a dim purple hue, the area filled with dangerously tall women scattered around each section.

Just go with it

"Uh- yes, sorry I hope I'm not too late" you pressed, falsely checking your gold-plated watch that hasn't ticked in years.

The guard shook his head slightly, "Nah we're just getting started" his free hand released from his biceps motioning you to walk through the entrance. Grounding your steady footsteps, walking into the shallow doorway, the smell of alcohol and prominent fragrance swiveled through the air making your head dizzy.

Music blared through the speakers with bass that shook the ground, how could anyone hear themselves think? To calm your senses, a drink was added to your agenda, a good fruit mixture would never lead you in the wrong direction.

Locating the crowded bar planted in the far right corner was easy, but physically getting there was not. People swarmed every inch of the floor making it nearly impossible to move without touching someone. Cautiously maneuvering through the crowds, you soon acquire that everyone here was in fact a woman, not a male figure in sight, excluding the stoned guard.

Women of all dynamics, tall, muscular, and every lick of beautiful, coming from all different shades. Instantly you knew you were way out of your element, and you'd be indulging every second of it.

Approaching the bar, attempting to blend into the vibe that was flowing through the atmosphere. Cool, calm, and collected. Looking over the different variations of drinks displayed behind the counter.

"You know the pink Whitney and Shirley temple mix goes crazy together, you should try it" a low voice rang in your ear sending a small shiver throughout your body. Eyes darting to the view next to you met with a pair of ocean blue ones.

A small smile masked the impending nervousness growing. "I'm not really a Shirley girl but I love a good pink Whitney"

Her face twisted in shock "Really?!, you look like the type though" Paige asserted, slowly licking her lips and tasting the faint alcohol that lingered. Her demeanor was soft, yet so dominant at all once. It was hard to tell whether she was fully sober or if she was just naturally charming and spoke to whoever was in her line of sight.

"Now what does that mean?" you questioned tilting your head slightly, remarking on her ability to maintain eye contact so easily.

She shrugged "Most pretty girls love Shirley temples" smiling to herself.

"I take it that you're one of them hm?" confiding in the way her features correlated so nicely. Lips the perfect shade of pink, eyelashes curled to perfection, hair slicked back without a single strand out of place. Her tall frame made every aspect match perfectly, including her two-piece set that had dashes of purple stitched within each pattern.

"Something like that" she bantered, tapping her fingers against the cold counter "Here let me buy you one" plucking the gold Amex card stashed in the back of her purple phone case. Good to know you could skip the whole "What's your favorite color" mantra.

"Oh no no it's alright, you don't have to spend your money on me I got it" gently sliding her card back into the slot. Denying Paige was not on your game card for tonight, but you refused to let anyone buy you anything, ever.

"Nah it's not a problem" Paige insisted "Are you here with someone?"

Replaying the guards' assumption in your head, you quickly denied "No I'm just here by myself.." 2nd guessing your answer, a silent prayer sped through your mind, hoping that you didn't talk yourself into a frenzy.

"Mm." she hummed softly against her lips, almost as if she knew you were spiraling on the inside.

"Why do you ask?" your tone more so concerned rather than confused.

Her eyes lightened at your expression "I'm just asking mama, no pressure" a smirk plastered across her face as she watched your eyes widen at the name. She knew what she was doing, this was nothing new to her.

But The Way She Made You Feel Was All New To You

In Hades I Am With You | Chapter Two

Pairing: Azriel x Hewn!city reader

Word Count: 2.8k

Summary: Reader is the ill-fated daughter of a cruel Lord of Night; plagued with prophetic dreams and cursed with rare, arcane gifts. Azriel is the stoic spymaster; forged from violence, lethal and honed to a fatal sharpness. The pair find themselves bound to one another through their meeting in a pleasure house in Hewn City.

Tags: Forced proximity, strangers to lovers, Night Court lore, Priestess reader, discussions of SA and abuse, discussions of sex work, criticism of misogyny, sexism, and general abuse in all its forms, eventual smut, slight corruption kink, reader is incredibly romantic and horny.

Please let me know what you think. Again this is inspired by From Blood and Ash but next chapter we start to deviate from those vibes.

Death came to me at dusk in the guise of a man; swathed in shadow. Haunting and prophetic. In flashes of seraphic, blue light and age worn bone. A voice shaded in nightshade calls out from the antechamber of the pleasure hall’s private apartments. A male cleaves through the darkness. He cuts an intimidating figure in the pallid sapphire light; stalks through the dark as though he was born from it. A scarred hand reaches through the veil, that glitters like spun spider silk, between my body and his. All thought and sound eddies from my mind.

“You are so much lovelier than I remember.” The low tenor of his voice is a whisper of darkness as his scent shrouds my senses.

Night-blooming wisteria and the depths of the Illyrian wilderness. 

He is a thing of dark, lovely beauty, I think as he steps into the light. Beautiful in the way some ancient mercurial God must be. Cut from the same onyx stone of the mountains to the North. Night incarnate. The darkness from which all light is born. 

“I’d have sent word, but I was already in the city.”  Scarred fingertips ghost the length of my arm. 

The glare of Illyrian steel, lethal and vicious, pierces through the blanket of the dark and reality comes flooding back to me with all the force of a raging tempest as the sapphire lights casts his beautiful face in shadow. 

I’d know him always. I would know him even in Hades, shrouded in the darkness at the end of the world. By the threads of fate that bind us both to this infernal mountain. 

Azriel.

The High Lord’s Spymaster. 

Everyone in this infernal city has heard the harrowing stories of this brutal, beautiful male. I am no exception. 

At first it was his beauty that commanded me to search for him in every darkened corner of the Moonstone Palace. It was the graceful hollow of his throat, the onyx curls that framed the elegant planes of his face that made a slave of me. The way that he towered over me like the embodiment of the dark-stoned mountains from which he hails. I had visited the Illyrian mountains once as a girl, when the Old High Lord lived. The long shadows of Ramiel had veiled the world in a shroud of black, save for the pallid moonlight that bleached the darkness. There was a temple. Its ruins lay in some long forgotten grove, shaded in wisteria and moon flowers. 

But it is his inherent violence that speaks to my innate darkness; it calls to me in a language so old, and long dead, that only fate itself might infer some meaning from the whispers of it, carried forth on a night wind . The terrible darkness that bleeds from him like the veil between the worlds. It is that darkness that feels somehow kindred to me. I saw him once, in the training yards of the Moonstone Palace. He had looked like some avenging angel; sweat-slicked and savage. His body and blade a weapon that he had honed to a fatal sharpness. 

He came to me that night in a dream, prophetic and elusive. In flashes of sapphire and star-flecked night. A harbinger of my undoing. It wasn’t until years later that he came to me again, in the Temple of Astarion. The dreams followed me for weeks after. Even in my waking moments I saw him. God of plagues and prophecy. A great chamber beneath the mountain. The dark waters of a salt-lake. The darkness at the end of the world.

 “Come here, pretty girl.” Azriel says, a small smile curves around the sulk on his lips. 

It occurs to me then that he has no idea who I am. That he has mistaken me for some other Female; some lovely thing who touches him tenderly. These stolen garments could belong to anyone, and without the veil there is nothing that marks me as the Lord Protector’s favorite. 

Tonight I can be anyone. Tonight I can be her.  

I had never considered myself to be beautiful but standing here now, my figure reflected in his hazel eyes, I see something. The vision of some ancient Goddess. Violent and volatile. 

A storm incarnate.

I summon that storm as my gaze sweeps over Azriel again. He’s splayed across the small day bed, dressed in an unbuttoned tunic that bears the contours of his chest so beautifully. The broad expanse of his back is framed by large, membranous wings and his onyx hair is tousled with messy curls that frame the delicate curve of his ears. 

If I had any sense at all I’d run back to the Palace and never look back. Unfortunately for me all common sense I might have had abandoned me when his palm skims the curve of my hip over the thick, woolen fabric of my cloak as he beckons me closer. 

“You look so very lovely in this light.” he sighs deeply, the broad splay of his hand curling around the cradle of my hips as he draws me into him. When he looks at me, there is only darkness in those golden eyes. 

Dark, arresting eyes. 

I offer him a gentle smile in lieu of thanks in a meek attempt to assuage his desire. 

“Now get on your knees.” He insists, like a priest intoning his mass. There’s a strange sense of threat in his voice that commands me to sink lowly before him. As if my body is little more than a conduit of his intent. 

“Look at me.” Something innate compels me to comply. The Shadowsinger takes my chin roughly between his scarred fingertips, brushes a calloused thumb over the plush of my lips. 

I shudder. 

“So very lovely,” He observes me in the low light. One star-flecked hand reaches out to tangle in the unbound lengths of my hair to expose the column of my throat to his shadows that coil around me like the tendrils of a serpent. 

Guilt and shame festers in me; turning my insides to rot. 

“I-I…” I try to speak but any confession dissolves on my tongue like a prayer when Azriel’s fingers ghost over the lapels of this open tunic; exposing his sculpted shoulders and the expanse of his broad chest, all contoured muscle that looks as if it were carved from the mountain stone. A fine dusting of hair forms a dark constellation that descends from his navel, down to the carved marble of his Adonis belt and dips beneath the material of his breeches. 

My half-lidded gaze dips lower and heat blooms in my chest and flowers along the exposed skin of my chest and cheeks. Even in the dim light, I admire the elegant curve of his calves and thighs and how his leathers caress his sculpted frame.

Heat takes root in my body again. A coiling, feverish heat that pulses in the deepest parts of my being. 

The Shadowsinger rises from the chaise. He towers over me like the imposing shadow of the mountain that shrouds the world in its dark veil. My fingers instinctively curl around the dagger at my thigh, through the swathes of heavy fabric that form a dark corona around my body. 

I am an acolyte. I have taken my vows and made my oaths in sight of The Mother. I am coveted and revered. For the prophecy that curses my blood. And this…

This is forbidden.

And yet, there, in the sulk of his lips, I relish in a heaven that only exists when he is looking at me. As though I am an altar he could pray to. As though he would forsake every solemn vow he has ever made if I would permit him to put his lips on mine. 

And I will. 

Amber eyes burn ardent gold against the black as he stalks towards me, wading through the shadows with the grace of some dark-winged God.

“Can I kiss you?” Azriel’s voice is desperate and fervent as he advances towards me. The feverish heat of his breath on my neck feels something akin to absolution. 

“Please.” A tremor of anticipation reverberates through my spine and my heart beats thunderously in my chest as it heaves against Azriel. A broad hand pulls me into his bruising grip. The other holds my head as he braces against the wall.

Azriel’s kiss is a devastating thing; a claiming, a devouring, a begging to be believed. I suck in a sharp breath and he deepens the kiss, the sharpness of his teeth grazing the sulk of my bottom lip. Guilt and shame coils in the pit of my stomach, a dreadful tempest that stakes its claim to me. Until I feel the delicate stroke of his tongue against mine. That storm manifests itself as a throbbing ache between my thighs. Tentative fingers curl around the cradle of my hips and Azriel growls into my open mouth. 

The vision comes to me veiled in shadow and flashes of age worn bone as it stakes its claim to me again. The shadow of the great mountain looms like some ill-fated omen over the valley and a blue star bleeds into the twilight, casting Ramiel in a halo or sapphire light. The mountain trembles in my wake; the Old Gods whisper my name like a prayer. There is a temple; carved into the stone of the mountain, a great antechamber, shaded in the musk of hemlock and incense as I pass between the sandstone pillars. The antechamber of the sanctum is shrouded in climbing ivy and blooming moon flowers that conceal the frescos on the walls. Through the shroud of shadow, I can make out the apparition of a man, cloaked in death. He wears it as some ancient King might. Proud, beautiful and lethal. His great dark wings spread across the landscape and the faces in the crowds kneel to him in reverence. The onyx stalactites become entangled in the light that bleeds from the surface and I come to a stop at the foot of the altar when that myriad of dancing light falls onto me. 

I am pale moonlight light;  refracted and broken divinity. The memory of some undying Goddess in the pallid light. 

The emerald dias is littered with the remnants of the offerings left to a dying God; wilted jasmine and orchids, silver coins, minted with the faces of an ancient king, amphora’s of faerie wine. I sink to my knees at the foot of the altar and I swear I can feel the whispers of the Gods long dead. I run a fine-boned hand over the collection of offerings laid in revereven, made in earnest. The gleam of thinly drawn steel amongst the dying jasmine beckons me further still, into the heart of the temple. Veiled in the shadows of the mountain; a bloody scythe. The hilt and pommel, like cool marble in my hand as I raise it to the light. The blade itself is coated crimson and rust and the ferrous smell of blood hangs heavy in the air.

Only false idols are worshiped in flowers and wine alone. True divinity requires sacrifice.

Out of the devastating darkness steps a figure; shaded in wretched shadows and a devouring black mass as he approaches the dias. As he steps to the altar all the sconces are afire with bluelight; sapphire and cerulean as his robe falls to reveal him in all his divine glory. The saints whisper my name and his figure, wreathed in shadow and light materializes before me.

God of plagues and prophecy. 

He whispers to me. Prophet girl, chosen by the dark, do you hear the Gods whispering those silent stardust words? Cursed daughter of ancient blood, do you regret taking the vow?

Without warning the tenuous connection to the Otherworld is broken. And I am left raging, seething, as the storm breaks against me. 

“What was that?” The Shadowsinger accuses sharply, unfurling his great, dark wings as the last of the vision ebbs away from me. The draw of Illyrian steel, lethal and dangerous, rings through the air like the peal of thunder and presses against the hollow of my throat.

“I-I I don’t- I think it was a dream” I ramble. My voice little more than a high arching sound under his dark, arresting gaze. I press a trembling hand to his in an aching plea for him to surrender his blade. 

The Shadowsinger is unrelenting and the sting of his blade kisses my neck. 

“Please, Azriel.” I beg as silver tears cloud my vision in a milky film.

A resounding pound against the door silences the Shadowsinger. 

“Azriel?” The velvety timbre of a male voice comes from behind the door.  Azriel stiffens against me, the heat of his breath fans across my throat again, half-lidded golden eyes still burning into my own. His hand passes over his chest as if trying to soothe the violent storm of emotion that rages inside of him. 

It seethes when the pale light dances in his eyes. When he looks at me there is only darkness there. Night incarnate. 

“I need you back in Velaris.” The male says sternly. It’s a voice I have heard before in a dream or a memory. The scent of moonflowers and citrus drifts on a night wind. 

“I’m sort of in the middle of something, Brother,” Azriel responds, his voice low and dangerous, thick with malicious intent. His grip on my hip is still unrelenting and strangely tender.

“Azriel open the God's damned door.” The male pounds on the door again, his gravelly voice full of wrath and dangerous authority.

“I think you should answer him,” I whisper.

“Rhys,” He curses. Azriel curls a deft finger around the loose treses of my hair and inhales a shaky breath, “I swear to the Mother -- you were the one who told me to come to this hellmouth in the first place and now you --.” 

“It’s important, Brother,” The Male replies before knocking again. Azriel looses a shuddering breath in response and the longer strands of his hair brushes over my shoulder as he bows his head in frustration “I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t.”

“Pay the whore and be done with it.” I frown.

“Brother,” Azriel warns, his voice like cold death and his thinly veiled violence dances in his golden eyes like a taunt. I can’t help but think of him softly then, as a scarred hand curls around my arm, applying pressure that is both tender and bruising. 

“Give me a few moments.” Azriel relents. Azriel’s face darkens considerably and those great, dark wings seem to stand sentinel. A testament to the Shadowsingers rage. A heavy black mass materialises about him, cloaking him in wisps of dark, ancient magic. 

Something dark and uncomfortable stirs in my soul then. A foreknowledge that speaks to a coming storm. 

“You must leave?” He nods solemnly and untangles himself from me. The absence of him feels something akin to drowning now. Having grown so fond of his comforting weight and the dark magnetism that seems to exude off of him in plumes of shadow. 

“My High Lord needs me.” He explains cooly. 

I nod in reply, still clutching desperately at his open tunic. For a long moment, neither of us dare to move. Bound in our silence. So we wait. Until he tires of it. Azriel sheaths his blade, it’s blue hilt shimmering sapphire in the pallid light. The dark material of his tunic is discarded on the bed and he procures his leathers from the materialising darkness before me. It’s scaled armour, an austere garment that looks as if it too was born from the shadows which seem to cling to him now. 

The male that had touched me tenderly is all but gone then, and from his shadow an Illyrian warrior steps into the light. His blades are honed to a wicked, deadly point, intended for the brutality of warfare, their serrated edges designed to carve through flesh and muscle. 

“I-I will come back here, when the fighting is done. Then we will talk - about this dream of yours.” 

His voice is flat and lethal, a warning and taunt. I nod once more.

“Will you wait for me, angel?” Azriel’s dark, piercing eyes fall on me again and I feel at home, there, in his thrall, under the blanket of his darkness. 

“I will.” My heart flickers violently in my chest. 

The shadowsinger turns and I watch forlornly as he walks to the door. I say nothing as he steps into the shadows. 

I won’t be here when he returns. 

As I, too, turn towards the door I hear the whispers of it again. SOmething dark and ancient calls my name. 

Prophet girl, chosen by the dark, do you hear the Gods whispering those silent stardust words? Cursed daughter of ancient blood, do you regret taking the vow?

авантура Цанмома у Београду

avantura Canmoma u Beogradu, or, the adventure of canmom in Belgrade

it's another one of these 'travels of canmom' posts! last time we went to Gamescom in Germany. this time I went to Belgrade for a company event.

I can't actually talk that much about this one because the main thing I was doing was cooking up game pitches for what we might work on next (kind of like a game jam but just for concepts), and while that was very interesting and I learned a lot about how to get ideas across in limited time and make judgements about what videogames might sell and how long they'd take to make and such... it is however probably not something I can talk in too much detail about yet, because we might end up making these games, so I can't be like 'the theme was x and we pitched y'.

so instead I will mostly talk about Belgrade! and show some of the photos I took that don't have game developers wandering around in them.

that's Nikola Tesla airport. did you know that Nikola Tesla was from modern-day Serbia (at the time, the Austrian Empire)? I didn't but I do now!

most of the week was spent in this fancy villa...

...which is called the Villa Saga Paradiso. it must once upon a time have been some stinking rich family's holiday home, because it's a super weird building, with such features as a pool table, swimming pool, tennis court, library, and even a weird kinda stage thing on the top floor. definitely full of weirdly shaped rooms and interesting old furniture, it felt kinda like a place a moomin might hole up. so here's some pics of the place.

also the view was kinda insane...

also! here's a pic of a Serbian snail that came out rather nice:

anyway on Saturday we went into the city centre to do some more touristy shit. I went to the two places in Belgrade that presumably everyone goes, namely the Fortress and the Temple. but I also got some shots of the city centre...

(also a tram shot for the trams girls in the audience)

so as you can see, the vibes of central Belgrade are p Southern European sorta architecture, lots of pale stone walls and tiled roofs and the like. but you also have these crazy cool looking tower blocks from the communist period...

...which were unfortunately quite hard to photograph out of a moving car window.

But yeah, we were on our way to the fortress.

Belgrade Fortress has a pretty storied history. At one point it simply was Belgrade; even after that, it's been occupied by variously the Byzantines, Turks and Austrians, who all made various additions and modifications to the fortress, and sometimes accidentally blew it up. Nowadays it's become a kind of park and tourist area, surrounded by the river, and thus some pretty impressive views...

as well as various things that tourists might like to look at, like statues of dinosaurs and tanks, and people dressed Historically.

apparently you're only allowed 30 images in a post, so let me make another one for the Temple, which was the craziest building I saw, and the butt statue...

[dirtyoldmanhole]

so nothing happened gunter-wise in ch19 or 20 other than all of three lines about anthony and a part of his deal, which will eventually be relevant.

also a creepy foreshadowing of anankos and his epic enteryway(?) room. (it's not the innermost throne room as we get exquisitely ... acquainted with it, uh, later.)

you better believe i'm having a ton of fun describing the scenery in this fic. the level architecture people had a ton of fun going all out with crazy ideas for the concepts vs in three houses.

(parts of 3H was cool! it's, uh, level design was not one of them.)

also this happened, heh

(as the old FE joke goes, the RNG gods blessed me this map! I don't think i'll ever see a rev!statup spread on him like that again. apparently gunter has much better growths in conquest which makes sense in hindsight with him fitting more of an oifeye role gameplay-wise vs a jagen.)

ch20 rolls around as anthony guides you closer to anankos' castle, Gyges. listen i gotta drink in the scenery, this shit is just too cool....

i know i am the person that will not Shut Up about stone tower in majora's mask occupying a central cornerstone to my "cool as hell worldbuiding" mental library, but parts of this level really does remind me about the cooler bits of that arena.

like... there is a vibe.

dizzying disorienting depths, weird ass floating orbs of doom in the sky that do not belong, giant chunks of bridges randomly appearing and disappearing, cursed ruins/temples with ancient gods ...

story-wise, honestly, a lot of the maps between 18-24 could be squished together into 2-3 maps, there's a lot of filler about anthony and kind of a painfully overdone foreshadowing of him betraying you with the 'oh trust meeeee the bridge is saaaafe wink wonk', lol. (which is kind of a funny-painful red herring for the other betrayal coming up.)

A BEHOLDER???!!!! DUDE! BRENNAN! GET OUT OF HERE WITH THAT FR! 😭✋ 🚨LIVE SHOW SPOILER| THEY ALREADY FOUGHT ONE OF THOSE BEFORE DURING ONE OF THE LIVE SHOWS! 😭✋|LIVE SHOW SPOILER ENDS HERE🚨

The bu...ette might be a "Bulette" I think is what they're called. They're a common D&D monster. Just guessing. 🥴 Bulette's are kinda scary ngl! I only know that from watching SOME EARLY S1 of CritRole Campaign 1! It's basically a HEAVILY ARMORED MONSTER THING! WHICH MEANS IT HAS HIGH AC! 🥴🥴🥴🥴 WELL...NOT SUPER HIGH...JUST LOOKED IT UP! USUALLY 17 AC TO HIT IT! 🥴 Still kinda a high-ISH number to hit. 🥴

BLACK LIGHT STUFF SOUNDS SO INTERESTING!!! I'M CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT THEY DO WITH THAT!!! [EDIT: CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG! DIDN'T "ARCADE AMBUSH" IN EPISODE 14 OF "FANTASY HIGH S1" HAVE BLACK LIGHT STUFF IN IT?!!! IT HAD SOME KIND OF FREAKY COOL LIGHTING!!! NOW THAT I'M THINKING ABOUT IT! 👀👀👀👀]

I wonder if the "day glow run fragments" were those small red spiky things. 🤔🤔

I sure don't wanna think they're the PSEUDO PODS OF THE NIGHT YORB OR WHATEVER THEY'RE CALLED! 😭✋

"FLOOR IS OCTOPUS MADE OF SHADOWS"?! BRUH WHAT?!

"Purple Stone Castle Night Yorb Temple". There were SOME PICS OF THE DOME WHERE THEY HAD LIKE PURPLE-ISH ROCKS BEHIND THEM! BUT IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE RED WASTE AT NIGHT TIME?! IDK! 🥴 IT SEEMED LIKE THE SAME RED WASTE SCENERY BUT KINDA PURPLE-Y! 🥴

Yeah it literally is just the Red Waste at Night...I don't think that's the "Purple Stone Castle Night Yorb Temple"...Hmmm 🤔🤔🤔...I honestly don't even know if that map was shown in the trailer. I bet it wasn't. 🥴

I LOVE HOW SOMETIMES IT WOULD JUST BE REFERENCES GIVEN LIKE "DOCTOR STRANGE" AND LIKE- "SWORD AND SORCERY VIBES"!!!

I THINK IT'S COOL HOW THE NIGHT YORB IS LITERALLY JUST A SEA CREATURE! PROBABLY MAKES SENSE WHY RIZ SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SPEAKING THE NIGHT YORB'S NAME WHILE ON A SHIP HEADED TOWARDS LEVIATHAN! THE WORRINESS OF THE HANGMAN AND THE VAN WERE VERY ACCURATE REACTIONS TO HAVE! 😂💀 CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT THE NIGHT YORB IS A BIG MANTA RAY! 💀✋

IS THAT THE BBEG OF THE SEASON?! 😭✋

ONE OF THE POTENTIAL LOCATIONS ON THIS LIST SAYS "SAT PREP CLASS" AND I'M CURIOUS IF THAT'S THE SANDY TEMPLE TOMB LOOKIN' PLACE WITH THE CLASSROOM SEATS AND CHAIRS!!! THAT COULD BE SAT PREP CLASS MAYBE?! I MEAN! THEY FIGHT WHAT LOOKS TO BE A FREAKING HYDRA BEING IN THERE!!! 😭😭

DJWJCJKE A POTENTIAL LOCATION BEING BASRAR'S CONCERNS ME FOR MULTIPLE REASONS! 😭😱

THE SCREENSHOTS WE GOT OF RIZ AND ADAINE WITH THE RED STUFF ON HER AND GORGUG, FIG AND ADAINE STANDING IN FRONT OF THAT DOOR WITH THE SKULL ON IT COULD EITHER BE MORDRED MANOR! OR STRONG TOWER! STRONG TOWER IS CROSSED OUT THOUGH! SO IDK IF THAT MEANS IT'S DONE OR IF THAT MEANS THEY SCRAPPED IT! EITHER WAY! IT'S A POTENTIAL! THE SCENERY THEY'RE IN DOESN'T LOOK- OHHHHH!!!! NO!!!! IT COULD BE SEACASTER MANOR!!!! 😱😱😱😱😱 I DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT!!!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱 THAT WOULD EXPLAIN THE DOOR WITH THE SKULL ON IT...RIGHT?!!! 😱😱😱😱😱

MORDRED MANOR?! SEACASTER MANOR?! STRONGTOWER LUXURY APARTMENTS?! QUESTION MARK?! SKULL ON DOOR?! IDK! 😭✋

THE "UNDERWATER?" PART UNDER EP.704 AND THE THING WHERE IT'S CALLED "AGUEFORT CHASE SEQUENCE"! WE SAW A PLACE THAT WAS COMPLETELY BLUE! AND AGUEFORT WAS THERE. IT SAYS "UNDERWATER? BOOKS SUSPENDED FLOATING"! IDK! CAUSE THE FULLY BLUE SET LOOKED A LOT LIKE A MALL TO ME!! 😱😱😭😭

I'M EXCITED TO SEE THE SPIRIT GUARDIANS AGAIN!!! 😆😆😆

CONCERT OUTDOOR COACHELLA AT THE THISTLESPRING TREE? QUESTION MARK?!

BRUHHH!!! PORTER'S BEEN EVIL THIS WHOLE FREAKING TIMEEEE!!!!! BRO WHAAATTTTT??!!!!!! EISKKRKWKDKSKKFWKWLRL AAAAAAAAAA!!!! DUDDEEEEEEE!!!!! OMGGGG!!! THIS IS SOOOO WAAAACKKKKKKN!!!! IS PORTER THE BBEG?!!! NOOOO!!! I'M ACTUALLY WEEPING CRYING TEARSSSSSS!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

alright let’s go over the junior year clues we got in the rick perry documentary thing (disclaimer: i’ve definitely missed stuff, but i think i got the big things, feel free to reblog and add with stuff that i missed though)

[at the bottom of this post I've typed out the decipherable words that plan out some combats and NPCs from Rick's screen. it's the most interesting thing but it's super long so it's at the bottom under a cut]

We get a blurry look at some minis. I’m seeing at least the PC’s minis, as well as what looks like Baxter the Gryphon.

There’s some major shots of this battle. Includes a Baby mini, the Hangvan with some kind of laser canon on top, a stingray-esque monster that is likely Night Yorb (see below), something that looks like maybe an ice elemental or the crystal (see below), and some large bugs and shirtless people. Clearly set in the Red Wastes. Detailed info of the planning for this battle below.

One of the shots had reference boards in the background. One is clearly for the Hangvan (see earlier screencaps), but the other is unclear. It looks like it includes some sort of tennis or tennis-adjacent sport.

Confirmation that Mordred Manor is a set piece.

Finally, one shot showed Rick’s computer screen with some critical info about planning. I’ve put what I’ve been able to decipher below the screencaps. and under a cut, as it’s very long.
